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
The minute Grey grabbed the treasure from Alexander, he felt like the richest man in the entire world. That was exactly one who had such treasure in his possession was meant to feel; powerful and unbeatable.He blessed the day he got to learn about it, and he praised himself for believing that one day he would have it in his hands. Just then, his phone rang, with a strange number on the display screen. He reluctantly picked it up, looking around suspiciously as though he would be under an attack in the next minute.Inasmuch as he had the treasure in his hands, he couldn’t deny the fact that it felt as though Alexander would make plans to ambush him and reclaim what was his. “Let’s get out of here!” He said to his men, who nodded their head and led him away from the field.He stared at the strange number on his phone and after several seconds of pondering over returning the call, he finally decided to do so.“We have your national identity card here at the hospital. Apparently, you d
It was morning at the mansion. The bright sunlight seeped into Amelia’s room, reminding her that it was a new and important day. She took in a deep breath as she groaned in frustration, wishing that the day never came. It was the day for her to choose which of the ladies who would leave and the two who would remain at the mansion.Thoughts of that scared her, especially because she wondered what life at the mansion would be when they were no longer around.“Good morning, Noah”, she greeted Noah who was tending to the flowers, with a serious and confused look on his face.Noah ignored her at first, but that didn’t stay for long because almost immediately, he swirled around to look at her.“This is barely 7:am. You woke up quite early”, he mumbled with a voice that sounded like a whisper.Amelia nodded her head calmly and went closer to him.“He wants some ladies to leave and two to stay. He asked me to make the decision”, Amelia explained to Noah, even if she had no idea of why she wa
Alexander’s PovThere was something great about this particular morning. Apart from the sweet sounds the morning birds made and the soft feel of the wind, my heart felt at ease. It was on this day I planned to tell Amelia how I truly felt for her and how I was willing to start a family with her and our child.Just then, I caught sight of her and Noah in the garden, and I couldn’t help the feeling that engulfed my soul. It was pure jealousy…Noah was always the closest servant to Amelia. On several occasions, I caught sight of the both of them, either laughing together or having serious conversations that made me extremely furious.But today seemed to be worse. I felt the jealousy right there in my chest and I knew that there was a need to pour out how I felt. At this, I called for Noah and the moment he came in, I reminded him about the need to know his boundaries at the mansion. I would rather not send the warning directly to avoid making his have useless thoughts, but I was certai
Amelia blinked her eyes severally to be sure that she wasn’t having a mere hallucination. Alexander on the other hand walked over to her and touched her cheeks to ensure that she was real. Even if he had wished to meet her soon, he never thought or imagined that it would be in such an unplanned situation. “Amelia?” He said in a voice that sounded like a whisper, blinking off the tears that welled up in his eyes. The past couple of months was so much to handle and for a minute, he had thought that he lost Amelia forever already. Amelia gulped down hard as the different memories of Alexander started playing out in her head. “You…you were the person who helped me with the money?” She asked, with tears dripping out of her eyes and falling to the ground. Alexander didn’t have an answer to that. All he wanted was to feel her head on his chest. At this, he pulled her into a very warm hug and inhaled every part of her body. “I missed you so much that it felt like I would die”, Alexander
Alexander’s PovI groaned as I stood to my feet, wincing in pain when I felt a crack somewhere at my back. I was getting better and could move around, but I still felt down. The door opened and a nurse walked into the room, wearing a frown and making to lead me back to the bed. “You should go back to bed sir. It’s not ideal for you to walk around in this manner”, the nurse declared, holding my hands and making to lead me to the bed.I sighed deeply and walked over to the bed, with my heart deep in worry. I had a lot to think about but the main thing was Amelia and how she fairing at the moment. The nurse looked up at that point and took in a deep breath.“Excuse me sir…I think I just have to let you know because it’s very important”, she said, causing me to lift my head in surprise.“What’s going on?”She shrugged slightly, as though she was still contemplating if she should let me know or not. After a while, she finally looked at me.“The lady just had a child. It’s a boy”, she sa
Noah’s PovMy heart dropped in shock the minute Amelia told me that she had her memories back. That was the last thing I was expecting to hear because I didn’t see any signs of that…“What?” I muttered as she scoffed and wore a very wry smile. “You have your memories?” I asked and again, she nodded in affirmation.I staggered and dug my hands into my head in shock. What the hell?“And I know that Alexander didn’t rape me. He is not a bad person like you pained him to be”, she added, with a glint of pain in her eyes.I felt a tightening in my throat just as I tried to think of what to say. My head was totally blank and I was lost on the next line of action to take.It was beginning to look like I was the loser in this game and I certainly didn’t like the feeling that came with it.“Get out! I don’t want to ever see you again”, she dropped and for a minute, I thought that I’ve just heard wrongly. At first, I thought that she was only trying to joke with me and so, I stayed still and r
Amelia’s PovThis was not the type of life I wanted. Noah had made things look so easy that i didn’t bother having any thoughts about what I would do if things didn’t work out.We got stranded on the road, without a dime on us and then, I got into labor. I never believed that it was it, until my water broke…We made our way to a hospital not far from where we was. From the look of the hospital, I could easily tell that it was for the rich. I screamed in pain and cried continuously just as I was led into the hospital premises. Just then, the doctor walked out and looked at me with a strange gaze.“Is she registered in this hospital?” The doctor asked and for a minute, I thought I had heard wrongly.I never actually thought of this. It was actually ideal to have your child in the hospital where you got registered in. “I’m not! But please…”, I cried out as the pain in the lower part of my stomach became fiercer.Noah tried to talk to the doctor as well, but he wasn’t making any attemp
Alexander’s PovMy men came into my room later that evening, with a big frown on their faces. I jerked up the moment they walked in, wondering why they wore a very dull look on their faces. “What is going on? Did you find her whereabouts?” I quickly asked, trying to steady my heart that was beating out of my chest. They stared at each other after which one of them shook his head negatively.“She is not at Grey’s mansion anymore. From what we gathered, Noah took her away and their whereabouts are unknown”, he explained and for a minute, I thought that I’ve heard wrongly.“What?” I screamed and made to get on my feet but they kept me down with a worried look.“You are not fit to walk around yet. Please get some rest and we would handle this”, they tried to persuade me but none of their words made sense in my ears. My heart was broken to tiny bits and there was nothing to do. My body ached severely and I groaned the minute I tried to raise my legs.“I need to get better. You don’t un
AmeliaI felt a bang in my head and for some seconds, I felt dizzy. “Amelia…are you okay?” I heard Noah’s voice, but it was distinct. What was Noah trying to say to me? He had said that we were currently in trouble because the treaure he had with him was the fake. That simply meant that we had no money or option of what to do. “I’m okay”, I gasped as I swallowed hard, trying to steady my heart that was beating frantically. Deep down I was scared and greatly disturbed. I was beginning to think that I was finally away from Grey and One. Noah’s plan sounded so good and for a while, I thought that I would have a brand new life that would be free from all the drama.“Look at that mall”, he said and shifted his gaze to the mall that was just across the street. I nodded my head in understanding, deeply wondering what he wanted us to do at the mall.“We need to steal from someone. That is our only way out. We have to leave this city”, Noah said and for a minute, I thought that I’ve just
Noah’s PovI was almost at the end of the line. It was just left for me to gather enough money, after which I would leave with Amelia. Amelia was quite puzzled, and I could see this in her eyes. She was exhausted and, at the same time, filled with so much uncertainty.A part of my heart told me that she didn’t fully trust me, but I didn’t care much about her. I had her by my side and that was all what mattered. “Everything will be fine in no time”, I said to her again as we both shifted our gaze to the antique store owner who was examining the treasure with a small frown on his face. “Is this really a treasure?” He asked and for a minute, I thought I had just heard wrongly. I was beginning to run out of patience. I had thought that he would scream in excitement the minute he laid his eyes on it, but his countenance was so cold and sour.“What do you mean by that?” I asked him with a cracked voice, staring at him as though I would tear him apart in no time.He let out a deep hiss an
Amelia’s PovNoah held my hands and led me out of Grey’s mansion. From how restless he appeared, I could tell that something was wrong.The minute we got outside the gate, I let out a small scoff and looked at him.“This was not the plan! We said that we were going to escape much later at night. That was what you said. What happened?” I wore a confused look on my face as I looked at him curiously.He wore a small smile on his face, after which he took my hands and placed a small kiss on it. “It’s much better to achieve your games peacefully, besides causing trouble and creating chaos. At this point, none of them knows that we are escaping, and the best is that they won’t have an idea of where we are heading to”, he explained as his eyes glittered with excitement.I forced a smile to my face and nodded in understanding, even if I barely understood what was going on. I thought of Alexander at intervals, wondering where he was in the middle of everything.“How about Alexander? Where is
Alexander’s PovA small groan left my lips as I felt an excruciating pain on my head. I winced and made to move, but the bang on my head returned, fiercer this time. “Where was I?” I silently asked myself as I tried to open my eyelids that was strangely heavy. After what seemed like ages, my eyes finally shot open and I met a purely white ceiling…It was extremely quiet at first, until I heard hushed voices beside me. Turning my head to the left, I met some of my men who I had hired to watch over the mansion. They had worried stares on their faces and that got me more curious. “What is going on? Why are you all staring at me like that? And why are you here?” I asked, trying so hard to get to my feet, but feeling numb all over.They had their heads bowed in respect and didn’t make an effort to utter a single word. That simple act from them got me more enraged. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Talk to me!” I yelled out of my lungs, causing them to jerk up in shock. In a moment, th
