One was lost in her world. It was hard to believe that Alexander discarded her without a particular reason or warning. She was lost in thoughts as she looked around the buzzing city that wasn’t close to where she had grown up in. At first, she thought of heading back to her parents' house since she got her freedom from Alexander. However, she shoved it aside when she recalled that her parents had been the one who gave her upto Alexander. That simply meant that they cared less about her…She sighed deeply as she sat by the roadside, looking at the different cars that moved past and hoping that Alexander would come back for her. She was yet to tell him that she loved him, and she wanted to do that with all her might.“I can’t give up on my quest. I’m not a failure”, she suddenly said to herself as she stood to her feet and walked over to a mall that was only some blocks away. Alexander’s mansion was her second home after her parents gave up on her. She found it peacefully there and t
Amelia’s PovI lied, but none of it seemed to be working. Grey was a fierce man, a lot fiercer than Alexander, who I had always thought was the worst. Grey had a dark aura, and staying close to him made me realize that both I and my unborn child were in danger. This was never the plan I thought about and at this point, I was blank on what to do.“Let’s go!” Grey said as his men started leading me out of the hospital. I made to scream and alert the people around, but he had already warned me against that.According to him, the minute I tried to open my lips, he would use a tranquilizer on me. That was definitely what I wasn’t ready for, especially when I had to think of a means to escape.At this, I kept mute, numb and blank…lost and in despair.Just then, I heard a voice that made me stop right in my tracks. Different things made me stop, one of which was the hope that Alexander was in the hospital. “Why did you stop walking?” Grey asked me with a furious gaze which I gulped down har
Alexander picked up his glass of wine and gulped down the contents in a hurry, barely waiting to catch his breath. He clenched his fist in fury and flung the glass cup across the room, watching how it shattered into tiny bits.He looked disheveled and totally unkept. His hair was barely combed as his eyes were as red as a flame. Underneath his eyes were large eye bags…a major indication that he hardly slept all through the night. His heart was heavy and so was his body. He felt useless and without an idea of what to do. All through the night, he remained at the hotel, searching through his heart and trying to remind himself of how much of a coward he was. He had Amelia who needed his help presently, but he was willing to give up on her because of the treasure he had in his possession. All through the night, he questioned his decision and felt the weight it created in his heart, and even until day break, he was yet to get a grip of himself.He loved Amelia, and he could feel it in
Amelia’s PovI pushed away the tray of food that was given to me, with a wrinkled face that showed great disgust and irritation. The food didn’t look bad, but thinking of how cruel and head strong Grey was, every appetite I had vanished. “What exactly do you want from me? Please let me go! I don’t have what you want”, I cried out for the hundredth time as I gazed at Grey, who just walked into the room.He wore a small smile on his face, after which he sat down close to me, staring at me intently, with different thoughts going through his mind.“You are just everything I wanted. Alexander is on his way to give me what I want…because of you”, Grey dropped and for a minute, I thought I had only heard wrongly.I jerked up instantly and turned to look at him, hoping that he was only trying to pull my legs.“Did you…did you tell him?” I asked, with fear written all over my face. He chuckled at first, and then, added more intensity to the laughter.“Of course I did!”’he said defiantly, in
Alexander’s PovThe minute I set eyes on her, my heart melted, and my soul longed for her. She was there, standing with the man I detested, and gazing at the ground as though she were alone in the entire world.Inasmuch as I tried to withhold my emotions, they finally got the better part of me. I rushed over to her and took a closer look at her entire being, wondering what her life since the past two days must have been like.“Are you hurt? Did he hurt you anywhere?” I asked again, with a cracked and barely audible voice. She took in a deep breath and shook her head negatively, still trying so hard to avoid my gaze. Once I was confident that she was fine as she had said, I shifted my gaze back to Grey, who was beginning to run out of patience.“You didn’t have to do what you did. She is innocent and the best you would have done was leaving her out of our issue!” I declared defiantly as I walked over to Grey, who rolled his eyes at me and chuckled in sarcasm.“Give me the treasure an
Amelia’s PovI tossed to the left side of the bed, grabbing the duvet over my head and trying to find a comfortable position. Despite how much I tried, the torment I felt only heightened. I felt as though I was in great trouble, even if Alexander rescued me from Grey. Firstly, I was pregnant for him and that was against his rules. His rules said that he would kill both the child and the mother if any of us eventually got pregnant. That only meant that he would kill me in no time.I observed his display of affection earlier, but I couldn’t help but feel that it was a only pretense. There was no way he would act cool and unbothered after learning that I was carrying a child. Again, I tried to think of why he eventually came to help me. I knew that Grey had threatened to kill the child I’m carrying, but that wasn’t meant to prompt him to come over. He had no interest in me or the child…so why did he come? These were the thoughts that engrossed my heart and despite how hard I tried to
Alexander barely slept all through the night. Each time he closed his eyes, he recalled the dead glare that was plastered on Amelia’s face all through the journey back to the mansion. He had made to talk to her the minute they got back, but she walked away, without waiting for even a second.“Is she that mad at me?” I asked myself again as I scoffed and groaned in frustration.My life was at a stage that I considered to be the worst. I felt so disorganized, and now I made plans to start something with Amelia, she was giving me a red card.Once it was breakfast time, I rushed over to the dining hall, waiting patiently to set eyes on her. My eyes were red and my head was aching terribly, but that was the least of my worries.“Good day, master”, I heard the voice of some of the girls who walked in and took a seat in the hall.They looked around in confusion, obviously wondering why One was not in sight.“I know that you are wondering why One is not here. It’s a long story, but I would l
Amelia’s PovI still didn’t get it. Why wasn’t he trying to tell me that he knew about my pregnancy? Why was he pretending and making things hard for me? A shout of agony escaped my lips just as I fell to the bed and started sobbing. This was the most complicated stage of my life, and things kept showing up in situations I never expected.Grey had told me clearly that he informed Alexander about my condition. Apparently, that was why Alexander decided to show up and meet the end of his bargain. What I didn’t know was why he showed up and why he was keeping mute when he understood I was carrying his child…And now, he suddenly decided to get rid of five ladies in the mansion, and not only that, he bestowed that responsibility on me. This was extremely ridiculous, but despite how crazy it sounded, I couldn’t deny the fact that it was scary as well. It was frightening because I had no idea of what he was up to currently and what he planned to do with me. At this point, I wished that
