Amelia's POV
I thought it was a dream, at first.
Seeing Scarlett a day before still looked new to me, like it was happening that moment.
Or rather, in my dreams.
She looked quite lean, I seem to be fatter than she is. Courtesy of getting pregnant for a man I am indebted to.
Scarlett's tears the day before broke my heart. I should have sent her away the very moment I met her at the gate.
The way she rested and leaned on the iron jar softened a part of me that should not be touched.
I know she expected the worst, it was all over her face when I made my moves to and fro the house. I felt for her, how can Luke be so wicked?
Ethan will never treat me that way, I can vouch. I can't be so sure, anyway. Luke was a sweet guy, I would not believe some other victim if not Scarlett, I sho
Ethan's POVMy joy knew no bounds the very moment I saw for myself the number of babies we should expect in a few months.Amelia was shocked, too, although she tried her very best to contend her laughter and excitement.We left the hospital, smiling and holding hands: something that never really happened. I hopped in on the driver's side, allowing Amelia to pick a seat in the car, to stay in.She went to the back a little laid on the long chair, her eyes closed, and that was how she slept all through the journey.I stopped at the mini market, hopped down to lock the doors after parking.I walked into the stinky area to buy plenty of vegetables.Tye talked about it again, sounding a warning to myself and Amelia, asking we don't miss a vegetable treat in a day.“How can I eat vegeta
Ethan's POVThe weekend finally arrived.“We leave today,” I told Amelia the moment I opened my eyes.“I might return home late.”“Where are you leaving for?” She asked, moping at me.I guessed right, she was on her way to the bathroom to take her bath when I called her back with my words.I thought as much, from the towel hanging on her shoulder, and the toothbrush she held.“I told you, the men and I are going to wait for Luke at the airport.”“Ohh,” she cried. “I forgot.”“It's fine,” I muttered, smiling as I sat up on the bed. “Would you want something from me before I leave?”She moped at me, looking around the room. Perhaps, she was
Luke's POVOver and over again, I see two kinds of cars at the airport whenever I am on a mission to give the girls out.That morning, I planned to leave for work as usual when Boss asked me to come at a later hour. “I have a meeting with my partners,” his text read. “Come on by 11.”I knew immediately if I left for work and reached the warehouse house at 11, I'll be at the airport with the girls around 12. I have become used to the deadly job, especially the part of me taking young girls to the airport.Boss has made me stronger. His words that always got me scared, sharpened me, and I am finally fit, a bit, not so much to do a few things.I took my bath in a hurry and made it to the dining area. Scarlett made something for me to eat already, she seems calmer these days. Perhaps, because I am yet to demand the usual from her. I am not ready is the right word to use. The other women in my life want me more than I want Scarlett at this point, and my work schedule is a tight one
Luke's POVDays passed and the beginning of a new week became the weekend. I made Scarlett give me what I wanted, in the morning when I woke up and at night, before going to sleep.“Cook for me.” I did not forget to add the very moment I finished with her in the morning. And at night, she sobbed in the toilet while cleaning herself.Don't blame me, I wanted to tell her.Did she not know what she was getting into when she had sex with me behind Amelia's back? Who would think I will remain loyal to her after marriage, for the rest of my life?On Friday, I left the house for an eatery in the city.Eating out was what I yearned for, with one of the women, perhaps.It was always Jessica, Isabella and I do not get to see and talk as usual anymore. I miss touching her buttocks, but now, ther
Amelia's POVThe weather, as usual, tortured me and the babies. There never passed a day when I did not take a warm bath, due to the weather and Ethan's disturbance and care for the babies.Maybe myself too.It was the day when Scarlett and I planned to see each other. I woke up to recall our planned meeting that morning.Ethan got up a while later, asking if I still remembered the arrival of my sister at the house.“Yes.” I told him.Was he or did he think I'll forget it just like that? Of all things to forget, not my meeting with Scarlett.Ethan, as sweet as he is and has become, asked if he should order some food from a restaurant in town, if I wasn't too fit to proceed with the cooking.“No,” I told him. “I'll cook before she arrives.”&nbs
Scarlett's POVI was beyond shocked when Amelia said the news to me. All I did to conceal my shock and disappointment in Luke was act like I didn't care.Why would he embarrass me in such a way? I was getting used to getting raped every night and in the morning before getting up from the bed, and now it's this.A part of me did not believe it when Amelia and Ethan talked about Luke, being a human trafficker. I wanted to shout at them, then ask them to close their mouths and stop giving out fake news to me.Now, why should I not believe them? Everything is glaring at me in the face. Why does Luke have a box I don't have the passcode to, as his wife? Ethan will never try something as such with Amelia, will he? I asked myself several times.To avoid suspicions from my husband, and even my parents: I took a cab to their house, to see them.Mother was excited to see me when she saw me standing at the door of her home. “Scarlett.” She called, smiling. The door was opened to my size and
Ethan's POVMy relationship with Amelia has bloomed into something more sweeter. Sweeter than I ever expected. The men and I planned a meeting at the office days ago and I, on the other hand, planned to take them to a restaurant too, to have lunch.I woke up with my back aching that morning. My head ached as well when I sat up on the bed. I made my way to the bathroom for a quick and hot bath before proceeding to the room again.Amelia was up by this time. I greeted, with a smile crowning my face, and my hands, holding the towel round my waist, tightly."Did you sleep well?" I shyly asked. I don't know the reason behind me getting shy, suddenly: I nodded, looked away and made for the wardrobe to dress up quickly.Amelia's face and smile is a distraction to my early presence at the office. She left the room to prepare something for me to eat. I know.I dressed in a hurry and made for the diner area. Food was ready, a part of me thought of this beautiful treat coming to an end very so
Luke's POVThe last time I got laid with Scarlett was a week ago. The day I planned to, I returned home drunk to meet her staring at me. She said something I did not hear clearly.The next thing happened, I was thrown onto the bed. And a woman lay next to my side. I saw these things, but was too drunk and tried to see what was happening.It was past midnight when I tossed on the bed to see her by my side. She slept on the far end of the bed, avoiding me, perhaps. I was clearly not desiring sex, or rape, as she may have been tagging it.I jumped off the bed and made it to the bathroom safely, without staggering or falling to the floor, unlike hours ago. I did my thing in a hurry and returned to the room, Scarlett changed her posture, from a free one to a tight one.She looked like she was doing all of these to avoid me, getting down with her on the bed. I wasn't in the mood,
