✿ CHAPTER 1 ✿Finally, it was my birthday...I was excited because I couldn't wait to see Caesar and my best friend Maria...I wanted to celebrate my birthday with them.I arrived at Caesar's house...I also brought a cake and a red wine...I parked my car at his garage...I bought this house and also a car for Caesar on his birthday as a gift. I knocked on his door but there wasn't a response, so I just walked in."Caesar?" I called out softly ..I walked into his living room...beers and drinks scattered all over the place."Did he have a party last night?"...I continued calling his name but there was no response, I then quietly walked up the stairs into his room.I found the door unlocked...I pushed open the door and immediately, I felt my whole world crumble."C-Caesar" unshed tears in my eyes as I spotted Caesar and my best friend together on the bed...with clothes laying scattered on the floor."Amelia?, you.. you're here
✿ CHAPTER 2 ✿I stormed out of Caesar's house looking like a crazy woman...tears streaming down my eyes as I got into my car."I hate you!! I f*king hate you, Caesar!!" I cried as I rested my head on my steering wheel.I needed a drink...I needed to calm my head...my chest felt so tight that I could barely breathe. how would my parents feel if they found out Caesar cheated on me with my best friend Stephanie, I just needed to clear my mind right now.I drove to a club my friends often invite me to at night...it was my first time being here since I always declined their invitations, and immediately I walked in, the security man tried stopping me."Excuse me?" I raised an eyebrow."This isn't a club for children young lady"I felt offended, why would this stupid security guy think I'm a child?"What the f*ck do you mean by children?....do I look like a child to you?" I was vexed.The security guy examined me from head to toe as
✿ CHAPTER 3 ✿I am very drunk right now, I guess I have a low tolerance for alcohol probably because I don't even get the chance to taste alcohol.My head was buzzing like crazy. I staggered to my seat at the corner looking for my purse, I had to call my chauffeur."Hey, Carlos can-can you come pick me up...I feel so dizzy right now" I frowned as I felt like throwing up."Young Madam, I thought you knew I went on vacation with my family" Carlos sounded concerned over the phone."May I call the main house?" Carlos asked."Oh, right I forgot...never mind don't call my Parents, go on with your Vacation" I disconnected the call.I felt like my head was about to pop any moment from now...I stood up grabbed my purse and headed towards the exit when I bumped into the wall... isn't this supposed to be a wall?"Huh?, why does my nose hurt" I frowned as I touched my nose, until I looked up and saw a-a MAN!!"Are you hurt?" when he spoke, it w
✿ CHAPTER 4 ✿"Why do you keep talking about my parents!" I pulled away from him abruptly...unshed tears in my eyes...he was startled as he stepped back a little, putting some distance between us."I hate everyone, including my parents, my best friend, and Caesar!" I cried, feeling hurt deep inside of me."I grew up without the love and care of my parents...I thought I'd finally found someone who loves and cares about me after all these years of pent-up emotions""But I was wrong! So wrong! Why did he have to cheat on me with my best friend? Why her?" the man stared at me expressionless."I gave him everything I had, I sacrificed my time and heart all for him!!!" I kicked a nearby pole with my foot"And now what? he said he didn't love me, he was only with me for my parent's money!" I continued kicking the pole as tears streamed down my face."And also because of s*x, s*x!!, because I didn't give him my body?!" I wiped my tears wit
✿CHAPTER 5✿I blinked my eyes rapidly as I staggered."Be careful" he quickly wrapped his strong arms around my waist preventing me from falling as I was clearly still in a drunken state. it seemed like time froze when I met his gaze...he looked right into my eyes as if looking through my soul. my cheeks burned more red...my face was now as red as a chili pepper."Stop looking at me like that" I whispered softly as I wrapped my arms around his neck."You might have fallen on your face if I hadn't caught you"why does he keep doing things that make my face heat up."Do...do you think I'm weak?" I took a deep breathe as I braved myself to look into his eyes"Weak? why would I think that" he helped me up but his hands still lingered on my waist."Honestly, I just met you so I don't-" I closed the gap between us as i crashed my lips on hisHis eyes widened in shock...I myself couldn't believe what I was doing...this man was to h
✿ CHAPTER 6 ✿I shivered as his fingertips traced slow circles on my bare skin, heat blooming where he touched. Our breath mingled together, the air between us thick with anticipation.I couldn't believe I was doing it with a complete stranger I had met just a few hours earlier. My head was spinning. His fingers dug deeper into my hips, and I took this as a clear warning. he wanted to be in control...Tears in my eyes as I whimpered...I felt him stop moving just for a second."Are you ok little one? should I stop?" I believed his words when he said he was going to be gentle...but now I could feel my insides ripping apart."Look at me," he gazed into my eyes as if he was trying to rip my soul out of my body. That look always made my heart race, as if he were about to hypnotize or devour me completely."Oh God! Please-" I whimperedThe next morning I found myself laying on the bed with a man. All over my body aching and cov
✿ CHAPTER 7 ✿LEONARD'S POVI groggily woke up as I stretched my arm to the other side of the bed, but I found it cold and empty. I frowned when I saw this...where did she go?"Little one?" I called out, but there wasn't any response...did she leave already? I put on my clothes as I checked the bathroom but she was nowhere to be found...I smiled. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, it was ringing."Hello boss" my assistant called panicking like he always does... I sighed as I knew he was calling me about things related to work."What is it this time"" Boss, you haven't been at the company for some days now...I think I might die from exhaustion, I can't take this workload anymore" My assistant was being too dramatic over the phone..."You call 24 hours some days?" I closed my eyes as I leaned on the couch...my mind drifted to all the memories of last night."Boss, is that the only thing you heard me say? I've been trying
✿ CHAPTER 8 ✿AMELIA'S POVOne hour ago:I got into the pharmacy…but it was oddly quiet….."Hello!, is anyone here?" I called out, but there wasn't a single response…. A few moments later, a middle-aged woman walks out of a door."Hello, dear. Have you been here for too long?" she asked with a smile as she shut the door behind her and walked towards the counter."Uhm, no, not really, I called out but there wasn't a response""Oh, sorry about that, I was busy at the back desk" she smiled warmly at me."So what can I get you, child?" she said as she put on her safety gloves.CHILD?"Uhm, actually- I- uhm, I wanted to get contra-contraceptive pills" I whispered the last partBut then something unexpected happened."Contraceptive pills?" the woman's eyes widened in shock because she couldn't believe what she was hearing."Ah, yes, I uhm-""You're just a child, why do you need contraceptive pills!"WAIT…WHAT!{* (⊙_⊙)?*}"Ahh!, no,
✿ CHAPTER 20 ✿THE NEXT DAYI arrived at campus, and as I got out of my car I also spotted Sofiya coming out from her car…"Amelia!" she ran to hug me tight."I…I can't, can't breathe" I choked on my words."Oh, sorry" she let go of me as I gasped for air.I glared at her."Seems like someone wants me dead!" I cleared my throat."Come on…I was just excited to see you…it's been days since I last saw my sweet cousin" She smiled and I rolled my eyes walking ahead of her."Hey!, wait up!" she ran after me.While we were walking down the hallway."Right, Amelia!!" she yelled."Jesus Christ Sofiya!... I'm next to you…why shout in my ear" I touched my ears to make sure I wasn't bleeding."Amelia guess what!... I heard that a very handsome CEO is coming to our school today!" Sofiya squealed in excitement."Huh?, CEO?" I was confused."Yes, I heard his company is one of the people who sponsor our school"I halted in my steps
✿ CHAPTER 19 ✿Suddenly I remembered the day I bumped into him at the shopping mall. My face turned red when I realized he might have known it was me. But how on earth did he know it was me?my face was covered obviously, I was so confused right now…"I have to take my leave now, I enjoyed my dinner tonight," Leonard said to my parents"You're leaving already? Anyways, it was nice having dinner with Mr. Leonard tonight" My Mom said with a smile."I'll see Mr. Leonard out" My Dad suggested"No, never mind…I'll take my leave now." I looked up at Leonard as he waved my parents goodbye. He didn't even spare me a glance anymore. Was I too harsh at him back in the bathroom? Whatever, it's not like I care. He's a grown-up man anyway.After Leonard left, we also proceeded to leave that moment."Do you think the CEO enjoyed tonight's treat?" My Mom asked as we got into the car."I know he did…he's quite different from his usual self at
✿ CHAPTER 18 ✿I could feel my heart racing very fast….how didn't I realize this man was my dad's boss…. I've been trying to push away the memories from that night but seeing him here, dressed up and looking hotter than I remembered that night, brought all the memories rushing back.I quickly stood up and walked away from the table…I was inside the bathroom for some minutes trying to calm myself down until I heard the sound of leather shoes approaching…immediately, the bathroom door swung open, I looked up and saw this godly handsome man…why did this man have to be so hot as hell !"Excuse me, sir. This is the ladies' bathroom." I was nervousHe stayed silent as he locked the door behind him, ensuring no one walked in. he turned to face me, his eyes filled with unspoken emotions. He steps closer…each step made my heart race…I stepped back until my back hit the wall…"What are-""Why are you running from me Amelia?" his voi
✿ CHAPTER 17 ✿"Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, your table is right this way" A female waitress walked up to us as she said with a smile.My parents nodded as we followed behind her.This restaurant looked like a very classy one, mainly for celebrities I guess. The bright lights were too much as it hurt my eyes, I tried looking away from the light as I gazed down at the floor. While walking my mom suddenly turned to face me as she whispered."Are you ok?" I was startled, Did My Mom just ask me if I was ok?"Uhm, yeah, I'm good" I looked at her, and she nodded as she looked away and continued walking behind My Dad. I sighedThe CEO was nowhere to be seen when we arrived at our table, wasn't the CEO supposed to be here before us?"Take a seat Amelia" My dad pulled out a seat for me and My Mom, the round table had two seats each, opposite each other. At least we kept the fourth seat for the CEO. I felt both nervous and excited at the sam
✿ CHAPTER 16 ✿2 DAYS LATER.Finally, I came back home from college. Today was the day we'd have dinner with the CEO of my dad's company. I couldn't describe this feeling I had, but I felt nervous deep inside of me. Was it because I was going on a dinner night with a CEO? I pushed the feeling aside as I walked to my room, but a voice called me back."Young miss, you're back home. The madam instructed for you to get ready in an hour" Uncle Charles said from down the stairs.I nodded "ok, I'll get ready now" With that I walked into my room. I set my bag down and walked into the bathroom to take a cool shower.A few minutes later after showering, I walked up to my closet, having another difficult challenge.TO CHOOSE A DRESSThis has always been my challenge whenever I'm going somewhere important with my parents. They always want me to dress responsibly and elegant as a woman, but when I'm back at home I can dress however I l
✿ CHAPTER 15 ✿AMELIA'S POVWhen we arrived back at the house."You did what?!!!" I explained to Sofiya everything about how I met Leonard and how we ended up having a one night stand. but her reaction was crazy."I don't know who he is" I fiddled with my fingers."You don't even-" she took a deep breath to calm herself."Did you take contraceptive pills?""Yes, yes I did.""I really don't know what to say to you amelia, I hope you don't ever cross paths with that man ever again"\"I promise, I'll make sure I'll have nothing to do with him anymore, just don't, Just don't tell my parents okay?" I begged her."Come on, I won't tell your parents" she smiled"Thanks so much!, you're the best cousin ever!" I hugged her tight."Well, actually I've also had a one-night stand before" she whispered as her cheeks flushed red. I was beyond shocked.{* UHM, WHAT? !!! *}"OH MY GOD!, sofiya!" I hit her arm."I'm serious ok? don't go y
✿ CHAPTER 14 ✿LEONARD'S POVShe was already gone before I could reach out to her. I looked down at the floor as I gently picked up the red scarf, but something strange caught my eye. It looks like an ID, was it the biker's ID?I carefully picked up the ID and I examined it."Amelia Johnson?" My mind drifted back to all the memories that night as I saw the photo of her displayed on the ID.I was astonished, I couldn't believe it. She knew it was me and immediately made a run.At that instant, I quickly made my way outside the mall."Hey!, Leonard wait up!" Daniel called out as he saw me walk outside the clothing store. I didn't turn back as I headed outside Immediately to meet up with her.By the time I got outside, she was gone. I panted softly as I clenched the ID around my hand."Damn it!" I cursed."Bro!, I've been calling after you, where did you go?" I walked back inside the mall and I saw Daniel coming out of the cl
✿ CHAPTER 13 ✿A FEW MOMENT'S AGO"I feel so embarrassed right now, Ugh" Sofiya glared at me as we arrived at CITY MALL ELEVEN."What's there to be embarrassed about?" I rolled my eyes as I tucked my ID card into my Jacket pocket."It's just a leather suit and nothing more" My eyes crinkled to the corner as I smiled."You usually don't dress this way, what's the occasion?""Uhm, no, it's nothing at all. I just felt like dressing this way today," I lied.People couldn't help but turn their heads when I walked in, I felt so annoyed that I decided to cover up my face with my helmet."Wait!, what the hell do you think you're doing?" Sofiya was startled."What? isn't this cool?" I smiled behind the helmet."Take that off now!""No, no way!" I pulled away from her."Hey!, I said take that off now!""Not if you catch me first" I smirked"You-" she ran after me.A few minutes later we both arrived at a clothing store."I'm going on
✿ CHAPTER 12 ✿LEONARD'S POV"Bro…I've been on my knees for hours," My close friend Daniel begged me to accompany him to the shopping mall to buy a present for his wife."You call barely 20 minutes, hours?" I rubbed my temples"Bro, it's just a present for my wife, I just need someone to go with me, I won't take too much of your time, okay?"I sighed."Fine, I might even take the opportunity to inspect the mall""Wait, we're going to your mall?""Yes, aren't we?" I raised an eyebrow as I stood up from my seat."Yes, yes we are" he laughed"That reminds me…you just left me at the club last night…why did you do that?" he frowned at me but I just brushed it off with a smile as I playfully patted his head."You're not telling me something, are you?""I just got a little tired, so I decided to leave," we both walked out of the elevator."Without telling me? That's weird, we both came together, shouldn't we leave together-""BOS
