Amelia’s POVI was so shocked when I saw Eddie and his daughter. I couldn’t believe that he was the one I would be working. I was so angry with the way he treated me. He fired me instantly and I also left his place angrily. I hailed a cab and told the driver to take me to Presbyterian Hospital and all I did was sobbed inwardly during the drive. I saw that the driver occasionally glanced at me but I ignored him and to avoid him probing into my personal life, I wiped off my tears. When we arrived at the hospital, I paid the driver and after making sure that I wasn’t looking like someone that had been crying so that my parents wouldn’t be worried, I headed into the hospital and then went to my mom’s room. I dropped my luggage outside and I met her sitting with her husband. They were both happy to see me but with my mom, I knew she would notice that I wasn’t feeling good enough. She quickly noticed my mood and then asked me what was going on with me.“Is everything alright, Amelia?” My d

Amelia’s POVEnough of thinking about Eddie, Amelia. He kicked you out, declaring that you can not work for him, and he did so ruthlessly and cruelly. You should not let him take up space in your head.I stared blankly into space, hurt filling my chest as I thought about how he had called Mr. James and how he had not even looked at me when I was leaving.I did not want to work for him anyway, I thought to myself defiantly as I blinked away the sweat that rolled down from my eyes.I quickly discarded the thoughts about Eddie and then cleared my throat to get my father’s attention. He turned back to look at me and then asked if I was back. I approached him and then told him about the interview I would be going for by 3 pm. He let out a huge sigh of relief and I could tell how worried he had been about my lack of a job. He was so happy for me that I was able to get another job and then encouraged me when I explained to him how nervous I was about the upcoming interview. "Amelia, you've

Amelia’s POV I was so scared seeing how Raymond stared at me like a prey he was ready to devour. I plastered myself against the wall, unable to keep the tremor out of my voice as I pleaded with him, telling him that I wasn’t interested in the job anymore.Chills ran down my spine as he stalked me, I kept my back to the wall and continued watching him like a cornered mouse as we faced off against each other.“You got the job already, Amelia. All you have to do is give me what I want and I will do the same too,” he said.I stared at him, unable to keep the disdain off my face and voice as I vehemently shook my head. I took a quick glance at the door, wondering if I would be able to make it to the door without him catching me. He must have guessed what I was doing as I tried to calculate the odds. He yelled at me angrily, telling me that I was making him feel like a bad person. He approached me but I moved away from the door and hurriedly moved back away from him. He did not stop coming

Amelia’s POVI plopped down on the bench at the bus terminal, oblivious to the looks that were coming my way. I was still shivering and trembling from my ordeal. I couldn’t think straight as all that clouded my mind was the bastard that almost took advantage of me. I just nearly got sexually assaultedI just nearly got sexually assaultedI just nearly got sexually assaultedThe words played over in my head over and over again as I rocked back and forth on the small bench I was seated on. Eventually, the adrenaline died down and I entered into a state of shock. I stared blankly at nothing for a while and only came back to my senses when someone approached me, asking if I was okay or if I needed help. At her words, I immediately burst into loud, angry sobs. The stranger was obviously alarmed at my strange behavior and hurriedly walked away from me after that.I called out at her quickly retreating back, "I'm sorry for startling you!" But she did not even look back. I sniffed and turned

Amelia's POVWe were the only ones in the elevator, so I asked her, "Why did you stop me from going back inside? I heard mom sobbing.""Because…""Blaire." "She was clearly crying because of what… you know… what happened with the jerk whose name we shall not mention.""Exactly, I guessed so, Blaire. Which was why I wanted to go back in and comfort her and assure her that you are not.""But you are not, Amelia. And they know it. And they feel guilty, your mom especially. This recent incident must have made them feel even more worse. To them, they probably feel like a burden, like they are holding you back or down. And this… incident with the jerk whose name we shall not mention is and will most likely weigh heavily on their heart. It was clear the way they were trying to get you to go back to Florida. Just let them process this on their own, it would be better that way."She had been talking while staring at the floor, but when she looked up, she saw the lone tear rolling down my righ

Eddie’s POVI winced when James mentioned Amelia's name right in front of Chloe. I had forgotten to tell him about Chloe's outburst earlier so he hadn't known to speak subtly without mentioning her name. James raised an eyebrow at my reaction and I grimaced, nodding towards Chloe's direction. Surprisingly enough, no reaction came from Chloe. James was still staring at me as though I had home crazy fur to the way I was acting. I stared at Chloe’s face to see if she was pouting or had heard James when he talked about Amelia and thankfully, all her attention was on her food. I subtly heaved a small sigh of relief because I did not think I would have been able to handle it if hearing Amelia's name had provoked a reaction from her.My mind briefly wondered and I paused as I contemplated why Chloe was so adamant on having Amelia as our chef. She had never really known her and had only met her twice. Once at the party which was the first time I had seen Amelia in a long while and the sec

Eddie’s POVI was so tired and needed to rest but I have to make sure Chloe had something to eat before retiring for the day. I went to the kitchen and prepared a simple meal for her, spaghetti and chicken. I served her the food with shaky hands, hoping she would find no fault in it and watched as she ate to her fill. When she was done, I took her to her room, helped her with her assignments, bathed her and dressed her up in her pajamas so that she could sleep early.She told me that it was too early to sleep and that she wanted to play some games and also watch some cartoons. I explained to her that dad had an hectic day at work and needed to rest but she insisted that I should play the games with her. I finally gave in to her request when she was about to cry. I watched as she was busy playing for hours and finally she got tired and slept off. I was so happy when I found her sleeping on the floor. I carried her gently and laid her on the bed. I closed the door gently to avoid waking

Amelia’s POVThe ride back home was silent and tense as I and Blair returned to her place and then she tried all her best to make me forget about how I almost got sexually assaulted earlier. She tried to make some funny conversations by trying to bring up some of my funny moments but I wasn’t even in the mood to talk about them. I could tell Blair was trying hard and I truly appreciated her for what she was trying to do and for being such a good friend , but no matter how hard I tried, I just could not seem to stop shaking every couple of minutes. I would stare off into the distance or be in the middle of something when I would feel phantom hands all over my body, reminding me of Raymond's wandering, insistent hands. I eventually left where I had been seated in the living room with Blaire and went into the bedroom, curling up on the bed as I continued to think about what I had gone through at the hands of that jerk, Raymond. Blaire followed me into the bedroom, her face creased wi
