Two days has passed since One came into Alexander’s room. He had gone to meet her and after punishing her, she apologized and said that she was only searching for a book to read.“But you lied that you weren’t the one who came into the room. You even pushed the blame to an innocent person”, Alexander had said to her, with a look of disgust on his face.One bit her lower lips as it dawned on her that she already ran out of what to say. The last thing she thought of was the camera. It didn’t occur to her that someone like Alexander had cameras even in his room.“I’m so sorry! I promise that I won’t do that again”, One pleaded but it fell on deaf ears. Alexander ensured that he punished her and locked her up. Her presence in the mansion was stressing him out already. But then, he knew that it was the last thing to do. If he sends her away, she would definitely go back to work with Grey and that was something he wanted to avoid.The night of the next day was a lonely one for Alexander.
Alexander’s PovThe past few days has been quite rough for both me and Amelia. Somehow, I was glad that we had a means of ensuring that things are safe, even if it demanded that we got separated. I was after her safety and that was all what mattered.Despite how hard I tried to concentrate, I couldn’t take my mind away from the fact that One had come into my room and slept on the same bed with me. That was definitely the worst thing that has happened to me in a while and I had no idea of how to get over it. I felt disgusted each time I thought about it and even if I came over to see Amelia as a means of getting distracted, I couldn’t get over it…“You look disturbed. Is everything okay?” I asked Amelia who suddenly spoke up after being quiet for a long time. She had different emotions in her eyes and I couldn’t deny the fact that she looked slightly worried too.“One came into my room last night and slept on my bed without my knowledge”, i finally decided to break the news to her, ev
One was shocked to her bones just as she recalled how she caught sight of Noah who was sneakily making his way out of the house. At first, she had thought that it was only a mere hallucination, but on a closer look, it was really him.Different emotions surged through her and she couldn’t help thinking of how Alexander would feel when he realizes that a man usually came to visit a woman he loves.Alexander was never a fan of Noah and at this, One knew that this spelt trouble. “This looks good”, she said to herself and squealed in excitement. The past few days had been so hectic for her since she never escaped getting punished from Alexander. The last time she went over to sleep in his room while he was drunk was worst, because it was hard to take off the look of irritation he wore in his face.Somehow, she tried to think of how possible it was that he was that irritated of her.She realized that he was leaving the mansion and she needed no one to tell her that he was heading over t
Amelia took in a deep breadth the moment Alexander walked out of the house. All through the period he stayed around, she was quite worried about Noah and Alexander finding a clue about him. Alexander stayed for only a day, since he had other urgent things to take care of at the moment. Once Alexander left, Noah found his way back into Amelia’s room.“Hi”, he said quietly, causing her to jerk up in fright.She took in a deep breath and held her chest when she realized that he was the one. Scanning him, she observed some blood stains on his knees.“Are you injured?” She asked, with concern written all over her face. Noah took in a deep breath and nodded his head in affirmation.“It was a rough night…I fell and landed on a rock”, he explained, with Amelia gazing at the injury and gasping in worry.She took in a deep breath and sat on the bed, blank on what to do at the moment. “Did anyone see you coming in?” She asked Noah who shook his head negatively.“No one! I mean, I’m so smart a
“It’s One”, Amelia heard from the other end of the phone call and for a minute, she thought that she just heard wrongly. She looked at the strange number on the screen and took in a calm breath to relax her raging heart. “Hello! How can I help you”, Amelia answered bluntly, not wanting to give her a hint of how tensed she was beginning to feel at the moment.The line was silent for a couple of minutes, after which One suddenly started laughing hysterically. “Is there a problem? Why would you call me and decide to start laughing instead?” Amelia asked with a massive frown on her face. She had no idea of what One was driving at, but she could say that she was not interested.“You should know that there is a problem, Eleven. You created the problem”, One joked and broke into another round of laughter.“I’m not Eleven anymore! I would advise that you call me by my real name!” Amelia said defiantly, with her fist clenched and her breath becoming uneven. One was silent for a minute afte
Amelia was unable to relax after the events of the previous day that played out in her life. She tried so hard to shove it aside as mere jokes, but there was no way One would be joking about something so true and crucial. That was supposed to be a secret, so how the hell did One get to know about it? That was the question that raged her heart just as she paced around her room, with tears clouding her eyes.One was the worst person to know of such secret and at this point, Amelia was blank on what next to do.One had told her plainly to tell Alexander to leave her alone if she she wanted her secret to he safe, but that was something hard to think of doing.How could she tell a man she loves to let her be? This was the one question that raged her heart, but the more she tried to think, the more she ran out of ideas. One was always used to blackmailing her and there was nothing she could do about it, just like always.She tried to think of coming clean to Alexander and telling him the
Alexander barely slept all through the night. He was drowning in worry each time he thought of what might have gone wrong with Amelia. He just saw her a day ago but the way she sounded some minutes ago on the call was urgent. “Is she having a pregnancy complication?” He asked himself again as he sat up and dug his hands into his head. He was extremely worried and there was nothing he could do at the moment. It was late already and they warned about moving in the roads of the city at such hour, considering the fact that it’s dangerous.Left for this, he would have driven all the way to the house to know what was wrong with her.Alexander decided to take a walk at this point. It felt as though each minute he stayed at the room added to the tension, and so, he felt that some fresh air would help in relieving his soul.He was sitting there for some minutes when One walked out and went over to him, with a small smile on her face. “The air is nice, isn’t it? I feel a change in the atmosp
Alexander got into his room and fell on his bed. He was still trying so hard to decipher if this was a dream or reality. At this, he picked up his phone and tried calling her again. She didn’t pick up his call and after few more attempts, he realized that she already totally blocked him off calls.He was blank and without an idea of what to do. He couldn’t even send her out of that house because she is still carrying his child.“How could she suddenly decide to break up with me after everything we’ve been through?” He asked himself for the hundredth time.The more he tried to understand, the more confused he became.“It was it part of what pregnancy does to women?” Another part of his mind asked, but he shook his head negatively.This was a stage where they were meant to be closest, but yet, she pushed him off. From another angle, he tried to think of how he must have wronged her. But then, he couldn’t point out anything he had done to her.“I don’t deserve such rejection!” He scream
