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
Alexander’s PovI quietly walked out of the kitchen, still trying to question my plans and decisions. I understood that she didn’t see any reason or need in what I said, but I was only after her safety. “Just leave me alone!” Her voice rang in my ears again and my heart She was totally displeased with my plan and I could see this from how flat she started responding to me. “Just go!”, she said and hurriedly went on with chopping the vegetables.My heart was totally heavy as I tried so hard to think of what to do. I was pained as well, but I truly hoped that she would understand.Just then, she cut herself and it started bleeding. I rushed over to her, but she pushed me aside with the excuse that she could handle things herself. I caught sight of tears in her eyes and this shattered my heart. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I decided to give her some space. I went out to take a walk, in a bid to clear up my head and think straight. When I returned back to the room, she was alread
Amelia’s PovI had no idea of what to do or think about the new phase I had agreed to start. Somehow, I understood what he was driving at, even if I was still scared. Deep down, I felt that he might wake up one day and decide to discard me forever. Mere thoughts of that sent cold shivers down my spine.“I would go take a walk”, I said as I disentangled from him and slowly walked out of the room.He sighed in relief and that made me smile. I knew he loved me, but I had doubts…perhaps because I wasn’t so good with experiencing happiness.One was sitting by the garden and lost in thoughts. For a minute, I stayed still to observe her current state. She looked worried and at the same time, excited.Taking in a deep breath, I walked over to her and sat beside her.“What are you so lost in?” I asked and she jerked out of her thoughts, slightly frightened.“Nothing…am I not allowed to have thoughts of my own?” She asked and quickly darted her eyes away from me.I stayed still for a while, st
Amelia walked into the room to meet Alexander who was focused on something important on his laptop. “Is she going to remain here?” Amelia asked the moment she walked into the room. Her heart was beating out of her chest and rage filled her entire soul.Alexander slowly lifted his head and looked over at Amelia who looked restless and somehow pissed.“Is everything okay?” He asked and walked over to her, with the intention of holding her hands.She flinched and took a step backwards as though he was a pest or something like that.“What’s wrong? Why do you have that look on your face?” Alexander was becoming quite worried at this point. This wasn’t close to how she was looking some minutes ago. Earlier, she looked so sweet and comfortable with his idea. At this, he couldn’t help but think of what could have happen when she went to take a walk.“Is one staying here at the mansion? With you?” She asked defiantly, searching through his eyes as if the answers laid there.Alexander took th
Grey was yet to recover from what happened to him some weeks ago. He was enraged that all he did was think of Alexander and how to harm him. He knew that One already went back to work with him and that infuriated him more. He wished he had killed her when he had the opportunity to do so.“I told you that she was a bad idea! But you never believed me”, his fiancée said to him, with a massive scowl on her face. He made to respond, but nothing could come off his lips. She was right afterall…If only he had listened to her, they wouldn’t be in this sort of mess.“How important is this thing you are so bent on laying your hands on?” She asked Grey who sighed deeply and stood to his feet. He paced around the room in a circular motion, digging his hands into his head and not willing to give her a response.“Can’t you let go of it? I’m not sure it should be worth your time and attention!” His fiancée said and for a minute, Grey thought that he had only heard wrongly. He looked at her and g
One was super excited to see that her idea was embraced by both Alexander and Amelia. When she dropped the suggestion, she never thought or imagined that he would listen to her. The look on Amelia’s face gladdened her heart too…the fear and confusion that lingered around. “I will take back what is mine once you are out of the way”, One muttered under her breath as she gazed at Amelia who was standing by a car and watching the servants who picked out her bag and dropped into the trunk. Amelia turned to look at her at that point, and immediately, a massive frown fell on her face. She was feeling sick and weird since morning, and that was because she felt sad that One was still going to remain at the mansion.With a fierce look on her face, she walked over to One who looked quite surprised to see her. “I see that you are ready to go”, One said, trying so hard to hide the excitement that hid in her voice.Amelia scoffed and folded her hand to her chest, after which she sent a cold sta
One’s PovThe minute Alexander left the mansion together with Eleven, I knew that I had a lot of work to do. There was a great need for me to lay my hands on something tangible which would go a long way in helping me out if Alexander turns his back on me .I had no idea of what this might be, but I had the urge to ransack through his things and place my hands on something.Alexander really loves Eleven and that meant that getting him to my side might just turn out to be a lot more difficult than I thought or imagined. There had to be a second option to rely on just in case the first one failed. “What are you doing there?” One of his guards shouted as he rushed over to me as though I were a criminal.I swallowed hard and tried to wear that innocent look. The last thing I wanted was making him think that I was up to something.“I’m just taking a walk around”, I explained to him, with a small frown on my face.“Is there a problem with that? I’m taking a walk around in the mansion and it
Alexander’s PovWe were yet to arrive at the new house where Amelia would be staying at, but I was already receiving complaints from my security back at the mansion. I had told them to keep a close look at One because I couldn’t trust her presence around.“Is everything okay?” Amelia asked the minute I dropped the call.I took in a deep breath and nodded calmly, even if a massive frown was plastered on my face. The complaint I had just gotten about One disgusted me to the core that I wished I could strangle her. “You haven’t replied”, Amelia observed as she searched through my eyes, with a worried look dancing on her face. I caressed her hands softly while I used the other to hold the steering. “One has a fight with one of my men. He broke a bone…”, I explained to Amelia who yelped and closed her mouth in shock.“But why will she do that?” She asked again, with her face contorted in rage.“She was found sneaking around and when she was warned, she decided to go violent”, I replied
