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
Alexander paced around his study as he looked over at the quarters where One was staying. He knew that it was not the best option to keep her at the mansion, but then, that was Amelia’s choice.“Send for One”, he ordered one of the guards who nodded and dashed away.Almost immediately, One was led into the study where she met Alexander who was wearing a very fierce look on his face.“What’s your plan now?” He asked and peered into her eyes as though he would find the answers to his questions.One took in a deep breath and licked her lower lips seductively.“I know that you would not understand, but I have gotten so fond of you that thoughts of you being away breaks my heart”, she explained to Alexander who listened attentively.“And what does that have to do with the plan against Grey?” He asked almost immediately.The mere presence of One irritated him to the core, but he was only trying to bear it since he was chasing something too.“Nothing actually. I was only telling you in case
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
