Alexander sank into the bed and closed his eyes, hoping that sleep would come and take him away from the present reality. At this point, the only means of escape was a dream, and he couldn’t help but hope that it comes right away. But then, his mind seemed to be far from that because all he could see were images of Amelia making out with Noah. He knew that he never caught them in such an act, but his mind was playing tricks on him.He groaned again and took in a sharp breath, after which he walked over to the front of his balcony, with his eyes focused on Amelia’s quarters.A memory flashed past his brain and he paused. When he told Amelia that he would treat her like a real slave she was, he couldn’t help but see how frightened she became. It pierced his heart to see how scared she was of him, especially at a point when he wanted to make things right. However, he shoved it aside when he realized that he didn’t owe her an explanation, and it would be best to treat her as what she rea
Alexander’s PovMy call with Grey was less of my concerns. He was only a greedy man who felt that he could easily steal what belonged to me. I was never going to give him such a chance and I was glad I had things in order to ensure that. No one had an idea of where I lived…not even a glimpse. I was that secretive and that was a part of my life I loved so much. At this, I considered my mansion to be the safest place I could be at and I never wanted it to be placed in jeopardy. That was a major reason why I blindfolded each of the ladies I brought into the mansion, not willing to give them a hint of the road that led to the mansion.Grey threatened to find me, but i knew that there was no way that would happen.I sighed deeply as I stood up and decided to focus my energy on a more pressing issue…Amelia. Last night, I caught sight of her and Noah and that infuriated my soul. At first, I made to shove it aside since Noah was the father of the child she carried, but then, I realized that

Amelia instantly felt weak. She pinched herself so hard and blinked her eyes severally to be sure that she wasn’t just having another dream.“Wait! What?” She screamed out of her lungs, startling Alexander, who jerked up as well and glared at her.Alexander was confused. He didn’t really think much about what his decision to take Amelia away would actually do to her. Thinking of it now, it was clear that it wasn’t going to be funny.“Can you explain yourself? What do you mean by he has left?” She asked again, breathing heavily and walking closer to me.He could see tears welling up in her eyes and again, his heart broke. Furthermore, he could tell that the past few days were so hard for her, but he would never try to comfort her.“I sent Noah away and told him never to show himself around here. And yes, I don’t care if he is the father of that thing you have in your belly”, he said with a look of disdain as his eyes narrowed down to Amelia’s stomach.Amelia felt naked instantly and wr
Amelia’s PovI was still shaken and taken aback by the events that started playing out earlier today. Alexander certainly had no heart! How could he give an order that would prompt a pregnant lady to be responsible for the kitchen and the welfare of others? I could barely handle the emotional stress that clouded my being currently, and the last thing I wanted was being exposed to any form of physical stress as well. My eyes closed that instant as the final set of tears poured out. He was not joking when he said that he would treat me like a slave I was. I knew I was to blame for all of these. I was the one hiding the secret from him, but if that would keep my child safe, I would rather not mind. My feet trembled as I walked over to the dining hall where Alexander and the other two ladies were sitting and waiting for me. I clenched my fist in fury but assured myself that everything would be fine.I dropped the tray on the table, barely allowing my eyes to meet any of their gazes.“
One’s PovI spent all the night, rummaging through my head and trying to formulate a plan that would work out just fine. I knew that I had to tread carefully, especially with situations that concerned Alexander. He was a very reserved man, observant and ready to pick out any foul play. For another time, I let out a groan and fell back to the bed, trying to use the years I lived in the mansion to think of somehow I could work with. Grey was a very fierce man, one who stood by his words. The look he had in his eyes when he asked me to come up with a plan before day break showed that he won’t be merciful if I didn’t come up with something.Just then, something clicked in my head and I sat up, with my eyes opened and my heart beating out of my chest. Even if I barely knew Alexander, I was certain that there was one thing capable of drawing his attention at any point; a threat to his company. He loved his company with his heart and would be willing to hear any sort of information that
Alexander’s PovThe rays of sunlight seeped into my bedroom, causing me to groan, lighting and sit up. I barely slept all through the night. The words of One kept ringing in my ears, and I could swear that I haven’t been this disturbed in a long time. My company was very close to my heart, and I was willing to do to any extent, just to ensure that it was protected.After One had called to tell me that she had sensitive information about a supposed threat in my company, I totally felt weak. At first I wondered how she had gotten my number and so, I wasn’t so convinced.“How did you get my number?” I had asked with a suspicion tone, still trying to decipher how possible it was that she had my number and was calling me some days after she left.She stuttered for some seconds, but regained her stance almost immediately. “I’m sorry I’m saying this now…but I once snuck into your room and went through your things. I found your number somewhere, and I took it down”, she said with a low voi
One stared at Alexander again, with a look of hope and determination in her eyes. She gulped down hard as she decided to take the move of pouring out what she had in her heart. “And what do you have to say? What is the threat about?” He asked impatiently, still looking around as if anyone would jump out and lay an attack on him.One took in a sharp breath and leaned closer, clearing her throat and slowly putting on a smile.Alexander squinted his eyes in surprise as he silently wondered why she would be smiling when there was sensitive information.“You told me that there was a threat to my company, and you had sensitive information. Tell me, what is going on?” Alexander asked again, with his fists clenched beneath the table. He was hoping that One wasn’t trying to play with his brain because if that was the case, it was going to be difficult to forgive her. One analyzed what she had earlier said to him and that was when she discovered that it wasn’t totally lies. Grey was a threat
