✿ 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 9 ✿ I drove my car into our villa. Our butler, Uncle Charles, came out Smiling like he was expecting me home after centuries. "Young miss, you're back home!" he smiled warmly as he approached me. Uncle Charles was the only man who had cared for me since I was a child Even though he was now getting older, I still respected him deeply. "Hmm...is Mom and Dad at home?" I asked as we both entered the house. "Master went to the company for some meetings and Madam went out with her friends for some spa treatment" he smiled at me. "Hmm...they always do" I slumped on the sofa looking so tired and exhausted. In a blink of an eye Uncle Charles was standing in front of me with a cup of fruit juice in his hands. "Have this young miss...you look so worn out" he gestured to the drink. "Thanks Uncle Charles" I smiled as I took the drink from his hands. He sat next to me. "Young miss....I noticed you didn't sleep at home last night" I knew he would ask this q
✿ CHAPTER 10 ✿"Madam Stella...I thought you went to visit the spa with your friends-" Uncle Charles asked before he was interrupted"Where is Amelia?" My Mum asked with a frown as she rudely interrupted him.Uncle Charles and Aunty Matilda looked at each other...as if asking each other who would tell her first."She…she's in her room Madam" Aunty Matilda spoke first."Did she spend the night at home?" My Mum looked at the both of them."Uhm…actually, Madam she-she-" Uncle Charles Contemplated on what to say."Did she or did she not? !" My Mum raised her voice."No, she didn't sleep at home last night, madam" Aunty Matilda blurted out."Matilda!" Uncle Charles was upset."What? I don't want to lose my job yet. We all know how scary the Madam gets with issues like this," she whispered to Uncle Charles.My mom stood up and stormed over to my room…she was so mad…{* Amelia is so cooked ha ha *}"Madam!, please wait" Uncle Charles
✿ CHAPTER 11 ✿"I want you to speak sense into your daughter!!" My Mom said indignantly as she walked out of the room.My dad stood looking at me before signaling Uncle Charles to leave us both alone."So you didn't sleep at home last night?" My Dad said calmly as he looked at me.I nodded "Something came up so I had to spend the night at a friend's house""A friend huh…I called your best friend but she said she didn't know where you were…I also called Caesar but he said the same thing""They aren't the only friends I have…and by the way I- I and Caesar…we broke up already, so don't contact him in the future" I avoided his gaze…I guessed he already knew the reason we broke up."I want you to be careful Amelia…or else I won't bat an eye when I decide to lock you up at home""And no speaking to your Mother that way…she's your mother and you should give her that respect she deserves" I just rolled my eyes when I heard this."Ar
✿ 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
✿ 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 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 32 ✿I sat quietly in My Dad's office while he was doing his work.But this isn't the reason I'm here…I came here to see-"Amelia, here, have some coffee" Assistant Zane handed me a cup of hot coffee."Thanks" I smiled."Your Dad is always busy on weekdays""As the vice CEO, he takes over from the main boss""The main boss can be very scary sometimes""The main boss? You mean the CEO right?""Yes, everything going on in this building is being controlled by him""He is very strict with his employees, no one dares to disobey his rules""There are still some people who were working at the time of the CEO's father when he was still in his seat. The boss respects these people because they are older than him, and your father is one of the people he respects even though he's the CEO"WOW!! I sure did learn something new about Leonard today."Where is the CEO?" I asked"He's about to have a board meeting with some executives" Assistant Zane sipped his coffee."Oh" I sipped my coffee
✿CHAPTER 31✿An hour later, Sofiya's Mom stormed into the ward, walked over to Sofiya, and grabbed her by the ear."Ahh!, mom my ear hurts!!" Sofiya cried out."You ungrateful child!!" she twisted her ears painfully."You don't listen to your mother!!"My dad walked over to calm his sister."Linda calm down, you’re hurting her""Hurting her? What if something had truly happened to her and Amelia? What would we have done?""The good thing is that they are ok, right?" My Mom saidAunt Linda glared at Sofiya before releasing her."Do you want to rip my ear out of my head?" Sofiya rubbed her ear as she pouted"Are you still talking back at me?""Ah! No no !" Sofiya stepped behind my mom"Aunty, please tell your sister-in-law to forgive me""Sofiya, just stop" I pulled her to my side."Aunt Linda, Sofiya is sorry. She just got drunk and those men decided to use the opportunity to drug her, please forgive her" I pleaded on behalf of Sofiya.Aunt Linda's expression softened."I'm not mad at
✿ CHAPTER 30 ✿AMELIA'S POV"Uhm, can I speak with you for a moment?" I said to Leonard as he stepped into the ward with his assistant behind him."Sure," he said calmly."You both can take all the time you want!" Sofiya said with a smirk."Shut up" I glared at her before walking outside with Leonard, leaving only Leonard's assistant in the ward with Sofiya.While we were both outside Sofiya's ward."Thank you for saving my and my cousin's life" I whispered."if it wasn't for you, I- I can't even think about what would have happened to us" I looked up at him but his expression was neutral as he looked down at me with that gaze again.'What was going on with this man' I thought to myself as I avoided his gaze."Are you listening to what am saying?""What if I hadn't called you Amelia?""What?""What would you have done?" he slowly stepped towards me."I, I-""Do you know how worried I was, how worried your parents were?"Every step he took towards me made me feel like I was stepping o
✿ CHAPTER 29 ✿Leonard's POV**The night before**"I'd love to make a deal with our two companies" the man before me smiled."Meeting adjourned," I said coldly as I grabbed my phone and hurriedly left the meeting hall.The man was stunned."But sir, this is very important,! " My assistant said as he followed behind me."We were about to have a big collaboration with his company," My Assistant said as he tried to catch up with my long strides."You can take care of it while I'm gone," I said without looking back."Where are you going sir, sir?" he called out to me as I walked faster out of the company building into my car."Good evening sir" My Chauffeur greeted gently."I'll drive today, go home early.""Sir, you'll drive?" he asked in surprise."Wait for me, sir!"

✿ CHAPTER 28 ✿"What a sexy-looking girl""I bet she'll be as delicious as she looks"I felt the men coming very close to me like a lion ready to devour its prey…I could feel their breath on my skin…"Please!, don't!" I tried shifting away but they were so close, tears rolling down my eyes…"Amelia!... Amelia wake up!""No!, No!, No!" I woke up panting, my clothes drenched with sweat…my heart racing…I turned to look beside me and saw Leonard by the side of my bed with a worried expression on his face."where- where am I?" I looked around."You're in the hospital Amelia"he took out a face towel from his pocket and wiped the sweat on my forehead."Hospital? Sofiya!...where's sofiya?" I panicked"She, she was in that room…where is she!!" I stood up abruptly throwing the sheets away."Amelia wait!""Don't tell me to wait! I need to see her!" I raised my voice"You just woke up!... I can't let you walk around in this condition Amelia!

Aunt Luciana forcefully pulled his hand away from Ace."Your son? Ace isn't your son, Luciana. He's my son!""You're just a woman who couldn't give birth for her husband!" Uncle Mads looked furious…"What did you just say to me?"At this moment I took out my phone to call my dad telling him to come with the cops.The manager of the restaurant walked towards us and said"Please, this is a public restaurant…you're driving our customers away!" the manager pleaded."It's fine, we'll leave now," My Mom said
✿ CHAPTER 25 ✿An Hour later we arrived at a restaurant.I noticed Aunt Luciana holding Ace's hand tightly, and Ace had his head low."Hey Ace, you're not a mummy's boy are ya?""I-"I separated their hands."Let my mom and her best friend have their alone time""By the way, Aunty just came back from overseas.

✿ CHAPTER 24 ✿Leonard's car stopped right in front of my house."Thank you, sir" I quickly got out of the car"Amelia" Leonard called out to me."Yes?" I turned aroundI noticed him bringing out something from his suit pocket"Huh, how did you get this?" I thought I had lost my ID somewhere, what was it doing with Leonard?"I discovered this was lost or perhaps forgotten, so I decided to give it back to the owner," he said with a straight face without breaking eye contact."But-, never mind…thanks" I snatched it from him as I hurriedly got into my house.I could feel his gaze boring holes into my back while walking away, God help me because I'd never turn back to look.Immediately I got into the house, I peeped through the window to see if his car had left already. And fortunately, after some while his car drove away.I sighed"What are you doing?"I was startled when I heard a voice behind me. I quickly turned around to see a young-loo
