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
Alexander’s PovMy eyes were focused on One who seemed to have an idea at the moment. It was still hard to trust her, but I was hoping to listen to her opinions as long as it was going to keep Amelia and my baby safe.“I’m all ears”, I said impatiently as I gazed at One who seemed to be thinking of what she was about to say.She took in a deep breath and folded her hands to her chest.“I would suggest that you take Amelia somewhere else…far away”, she dropped and for a minute, I thought that I had only heard wrongly. “What?” I asked with an unbelievable gaze, trying so hard to decipher if she really meant what she said, or if she was trying to pull my legs.“Are you being serious now?” I asked with a dead glare and she nodded in affirmation.“Grey is not as easy as you think. He would stop at nothing until he lays his hands on that one thing he really wants. I can assure you that he would strike you and Amelia is not out of his target. He knows that she is with child and that would b
Amelia’s PovFor some days now, I didn’t fail to observe something strange about Alexander. He looked distressed and as though in his heart laid different fears he couldn’t talk about. Most times, I tried to talk and ask him what the problem was, but he made no attempt to talk to me about it.“We can work on it together…whatever it is”, I had said to him with a reassuring smile, hoping that he would open up to me. But then, he would only smile and tell me that everything was fine. And then, I decided to invite him over to the kitchen where we could cook and spend some time together.It felt great to see him agreeing to such a thing, without any slightest disagreement.“Have you thought of leaving this mansion and going somewhere else?” He suddenly asked and for a minute, I thought I heard wrongly.It felt totally weird for him to ask such a question out of the blues. That wasn’t close to what I had expected him to ask.“I used to think of leaving this mansion and gaining freedom…awa
