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
Grey wasn’t willing to relent in his quest to find the treaure and claim ownership of it. He was extremely mad and enraged because he had gone to that area of the country some days ago, but wasn’t able to find Alexander.“I’m leaving! You are becoming so pathetic and I can’t handle it anymore”, his fiancée said as she carried her bag and shafted throwing her things into it.Grey had been extremely haughty and disrespectful to her ever since he realized that each plan he had against Alexander was falling apart. “You can leave for all I care! You are not as important as that treaure”, he bellowed out of his lungs, totally surprising the lady who couldn’t believe her ears. She made to say something, but when nothing came off, she grabbed her bags and barged out of the house.Grey jerked back to his feet and paced around for a while. He tried the first time and failed, but that didn’t mean that he would fail if he tries again. With this in his heart, he grabbed his phone and went out t
Amelia’s PovI sat down inside the house and remained mute for what seemed like ages. Alexander was laying beside me since he said that he wanted to spend the remaining of the hours of the day with me, after which he would return to the mansion.That was a great idea for me. I loved him so much that I couldn’t imagine being away from him for a while. He brought quite a number of security men to look after me too, as well as the other ladies who would tend to me and ensure that I was doing good.I was extremely grateful for all he did and how he was willing to ensure that I’m totally safe from any enemy that might be lingering around.It gave me a sort of assurance that I’m safe, no matter what. My mind went back to the piece of jewelry he had kept in my care some minutes ago, and somehow, my heart skipped. He really trusted me so much to be willing to drop such a thing in my care. It gladdened my heart and I couldn’t help but smile all through. I stood to my feet and went over to
It was morning and the day Alexander would finally leave. Amelia tried so hard to withhold the tears that threatened to fall out of her eyes. It was quite difficult to do that, because almost immediately, she broke into soft tears. “I’m sorry I’m crying…I just miss you already”, she said and pulled him into a soft. That didn’t seem to be all though. She was both scared that Alexander might be unsafe at the mansion. She was scared for his life and what One might be up to if she doesn’t get what she wants.“I love you”, Alexander whispered and pulled her into a tight hug.“I will visit you as often as I can. I just need to ensure that things keep running over there in the city”, he said and beamed at Amelia who nodded in understanding.After what seemed like ages, he finally entered the car and drove off, feeling kind of lost and as though he just left a piece of himself behind. That was the best decision for him…to keep her and the baby away from whatever situation that might arise
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
