Amelia and Alexander held each other in their arms, just as they walked around the garden that evening. They didn’t say a word, but the way they stared at each other was able to communicate how they felt currently. “This feels like the happiest day in my life”, Amelia confessed as she took a pause and stopped walking.She had tears in her eyes, but she knew that she cried enough already. “It’s the same for me. I never knew that I could be this happy after everything I’ve been through”, Alexander replied and blew out hot air from his lips.Amelia stopped walking at that point. She threw a questioning look at him, hoping that he would open up and answer the different questions she had for him.“For a while now, I wondered why you brought in girls as slaves. Do you mind telling me?” Amelia asked as she held his hand and led him to a chair inside the garden.Alexander chuckled calmly and nodded his head in affirmation.“Of course… I can tell you”, he replied and caressed her hands lovin
Back at Grey’s mansion, there was trouble brewing. One was successful in getting Grey to sleep, but then, Grey’s fiancée caught her right before she was done.“You really drugged him?” She asked and startedpacing around the room.“Just shut up!” One yelled out of her lungs.She had no idea of what she was doing. She was tensed and scared, but she wasn’t ready to let her see it.“If you say another word, I would ensure that he dies!” One threatened, causing the lady to open her eyes in shock.“What? Please, don’t kill him…he’s all I’ve got”, she pleaded, shaking as though she was at the verge of passing out.One stood to her feet hurriedly and grabbed her phone away from her hands. She used a vase and smashed it on her head, right before the lady could say another word.Now that they both of them were knocked out, she took in a deep breath and returned to her quest of picking out Alexander’s particular location.Just then, something clicked her mind and rather than just taking the loc
One’s PovI successfully left Grey’s mansion without getting caught. This was luck and nothing less than that. It was quite hard to curtail the excitement I felt, especially because I had an idea of where to meet with Alexander.Grey’s phone was currently with me and not only was it going to serve as a direction for me, it would also deprive Grey his desire to harm Alexander. That tracker was his only means of getting to Alexander, and I was glad that I took it away from him.At this, I couldn’t wait to break the information to him. I wanted to tell him how bad Grey was and how he already learned of where he lived in. With the excitement burning in my heart, I made my way to the location that blinked on the map.My eyes squinted a bit when I observed that he was going to a mall. That was quite strange for his kind of person.He never left the mansion, except for important businesses that had to do with his company. Seeing that he was currently at the mall was quite strange.But sti
Amelia’s PovWe got back to the house around evening. The distance from Alexander’s house to the major part of the city was quite far and so, it took a while to arrive home.He didn’t blindfold me this time and this was an indication that he was beginning to trust me. My heart couldn’t curtail the excitement it felt and so, I smiled all through.“You keep smiling”, Alexander observed just as we came out of the car. I nodded and went over to him, wrapped my hands around his and started walking inside.“You didn’t blindfold me today. I’m the first girl with such privilege and I would be lying if I say that I’m not excited”, I said truthfully while he chuckled and caressed my hands softly.He nodded in agreement and then, stopped walking.“I did a lot of new things with you. I didn’t know how it all happened, but somehow, you kept making me do things I swore never to”, he said with a small frown that only made me amused.I laughed again as I stared into the eyes of the young man whom I’
Alexander’s PovI stared at One who looked like a lost child, and then, Amelia who was still in a state of shock. I could imagine the type of thoughts that engulfed Amelia’s mind and I was ready to act on whatever decision she took.“What are you doing here?” I asked One who turned her gaze to Amelia.“Can we talk without her here?” She asked me.I scoffed and folded my hands my chest, trying to think of how possible it was that she had such guts.“No…I say that she stay here…except of course, you have nothing to say”, I said defiantly.Her eyes flickered in surprise, while my cold eyes rested on her. Amelia was quiet too…observing everything that was currently going on.“How did you know I was going to the mall? And why did you follow me? What is your involvement with Grey and why exactly are you here in my house?” I threw each question I had in my mind at her, not minding if they may be too hard to handle.She took in a deep breath and made to walk closer, but i gestured for my men
The night was a blissful one for both Alexander and Amelia. Even if they had an enemy in the dungeon, they thought less of it and focused on having fun.“You are everything I wished for. I mean, my life would have been a sad one if you didn’t show up”, Alexander confessed and Amelia’s stomach churned in excitement.She felt the same for him, but deep down her excitement laid fear of the unknown.She recalled the look One had on her face when she had seen her earlier and somehow, her heart ached. There was something deadly about that gaze, something that made her fear and something that took sleep away from her eyes.“We should get some sleep. Time won’t be at a standstill for us”, Amelia giggled as she placed a soft kiss on his forehead.She cuddled him softly and finally closed her eyes to sleep, even if her heart was greatly disturbed.After what seemed like ages, Alexander finally dozed off, with a peaceful smile on his face. Amelia slowly disentangled herself from him and stood
One’s PovA smiled silently when I observed how worried Eleven suddenly became.“What do you mean by that?” She asked, staring at me with those blazing eyes that sent slight shivers down my spine.I took in a deep breath and tried to wear my pretense again. The goal was to win their hearts and remain at the mansion, because that was the only way to get close to Alexander and achieve my plans.“Grey is planning to hurt both you and Alexander and I’m not joking when I say this. If you must survive, you certainly need me”, I said and looked at her with a worried gaze.“I really care about you, Eleven. I understand that we haven’t been in the best kind of relationship, but trust me when I say that the last thing I want is seeing you hurt!” I tried to sound persuasive.She suddenly stared laughing at that point and for a moment, my heart fell.“You really want me to believe you, don’t you?” She asked as she went on with the laughter.I kept mute for a while, with my eyes transfixed on her
Breakfast was quiet, with each of them staring at each other. Alexander was still confused but decided to keep mute and watch the turn out of events. Amelia on the other hand was glad that Alexander was able to listen to her, even if she wasn’t really making much sense.Once breakfast was over, Alexander folded his hands to his chest and looked at One. “What’s the deal with you?” He asked One who took in a deep breath and tried to think of what to say.“I just need to stay here with you guys. I can help you with every details you need to know about Grey”, she explained, with a look of sincerity in her eyes.Alexander looked at Amelia who smiled at him in a bid to assure him that he was doing the right thing.“And why do you want to stay here?” He asked again.One sighed deeply and forced tears out of her eyes. This was an emotional plan for her and if she wanted to win him over, she had to be very emotional.“I have nowhere else to go to. I can’t go back to my parents after they sol
