Alexander woke up the next morning with a throbbing headache. He recalled all what happened the previous day and another headache struck. Sluggishly, he walked out of his room and decided to get some sunlight since that might just help him in feeling better.He met some guards whispering to each other and needed no one to tell him that something was wrong. “Did something happen?” He asked, rubbing his eyes and letting out a loud yawn. None of them could utter a word. They only stared at him after which they went on their knees and clasped their hands together.“Please, forgive us”, they pleaded and immediately, every sleep in his eyes flew off.“What happened?” He quickly asked.“It’s One. She escaped last night”, one of them divulged and for a minute Alexander thought that he just heard wrongly.“What?”he asked and they all kept mute.“She stabbed the man at the gate and took the keys”, another one explained.Sweats broke out of Alexander’s forehead just as he walked back into his
Amelia sat at her table, her heart racing as she cautiously opened up the letter in her hands. The envelope bore no return deal, simplest her name scrawled in a hurried, jagged handwriting. She felt a cold chill run down her spine as she recognized the call of the sender, Gray, her sworn enemy.He was her enemy, someone she had clashed with limitless times within the past. Their disagreements had left deep scars on each of their hearts, scars that also throbbed with pain whilst she notated them. Why would Grey be writing to her now, in any case this time? Her interest mingled with trepidation as she tore open the envelope and opened up the letter.The contents of the letter had been short but full of ominous warnings.“I’m coming for you”, the details of the letter was short and very scary. She could tell that it was his hand writing because somehow, she stumbled across it the time she went to that conference. Grey wrote that a person changed into coming for her, someone who suppose
Amelia tossed and turned in her bed, her mind plagued by worry. The letter from Grey, her sworn enemy, had shaken her to the core. She thought of Alexander, her partner, but their relationship had been strained by his unfounded accusations of infidelity. How could she trust that he would believe her now? How could she trust that he would stand by her side in this time of uncertainty?Noah, her dear friend, also crossed her mind. She knew he cared for her deeply, and he had been a pillar of support throughout their friendship. But the thought of burdening him with her fears and worries weighed heavily on her conscience. She didn't want to abuse his kindness or make him worry about her well-being.He had told her that he had found a house somewhere close by and was working now. But then, he would always come in at intervals to check on her. Amelia could barely say a word to him, no matter how much he asked her what might be wrong. The ladies were not out of the silence . The fear of bu
Alexander was in a very miserable state of life. Each evening, he feasted on alcohol and didn’t want to bother about his health or what his servants would be saying about him. He was lost in everything and the betrayal was yet to disappear. He felt it each morning and it heightened how much he hated Amelia. “Sir, you are yet to open this letter that arrived some days ago”, a servant who was at the verge of cleaning his room said to him, passing the letter over him in respect. Alexander hissed at first, thinking that it was a mere letter. However, the moment he laid his hands on it, he was certain that this spelt trouble. Alexander's heart pounded in his chest as he read the letter in his hands. It was a message from Grey, his rival, revealing his sinister intentions towards Amelia, the woman he loved. A sense of dread washed over him as he realized the danger his beloved was in. He knew he had to act swiftly and decisively to ensure her safety.“You thought you could hide her, but
Grey's fury burned like a smoldering flame as he glared at One, his trusted accomplice turned betrayer. The plan to attack Amelia had gone awry, and he blamed her for the failure. The weight of his disappointment bore down on him, fueled by his mounting suspicion that she may still be working with Alexander.In the dimly lit room, the air crackled with tension as Grey's accusatory words hung heavy in the air. "You misled me, One! You promised that Amelia was a heavy sleeper, but she woke up at the slightest sound! Did you purposely sabotage our plan?"One recoiled at Grey's accusations, her eyes widening in disbelief. She had not anticipated this turn of events, nor the anger that now radiated from him like a storm about to unleash its fury.Amelia had been her roommate for a long time. Firstly, she was shocked at how far Amelia could run even if she was pregnant and heavy with child.One's expression hardened, her eyes narrowing as she absorbed Grey's accusations. Deep down, she knew
Alexander's heart raced with desperation as he scoured the city in search of Amelia. His eyes darted from one face to another, his mind consumed with worry and fear. The weight of her absence bore down on him, fueling an unrelenting determination to find her.He couldn't find her through the traces of blood he followed last time.So he decided the he would ventured into the city, consumed by an overwhelming sense of urgency to find Amelia. Every corner he turned, every face he glimpsed, he hoped to catch a glimpse of her familiar features. But as the minutes turned into hours, and the hours into an eternity, his search proved fruitless.He tried to think of where she would run to at a time like this and the more he tried, the more guilt he felt. She was only a young girl and life was throwing so much at her already. “I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have been that harsh on you”, he said to himself for the hundredth time. He wondered if Grey had captured her, but then his instincts told him
Amelia stood amidst the towering trees, their branches reaching towards the sky like outstretched arms. The dense forest seemed to cocoon her in its embrace, providing a sense of solace and escape from the tumultuous world she had known. It was here, in the heart of nature's sanctuary, that she sought refuge, away from the prying eyes and the painful memories that haunted her.Her foster parents who had sold her to Alexander had shattered her trust and left a deep scar upon her soul so returning to that house was out of the question. Instead, she chose the sanctuary of the forest, a place where she could exist unnoticed, far from the clutches of those who sought to control her.Amelia was glad that she was able to face one fear she had. She was alone in a forest and didn’t really feel as scared as she thought she would. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden hue upon the landscape, Amelia set to work, her hands moving with purpose and determination. She gathered dry le
Alexander and Noah continued their relentless search for Amelia, their shared concern bridging the chasm of their past conflicts. In the face of their shared desperation, they realized that unity was their only chance of finding her. Noah pleaded with Alexander, emphasizing his genuine care for Amelia and his desire to help bring her back safely."Alexander, I understand the pain you're going through, the fear of losing Amelia. Let me help you find her. We may not see eye to eye on everything, but our shared love for her should unite us in this pursuit," Noah implored, his voice laced with genuine concern.Alexander was still having some doubts in this regard. He felt that he could achieve it himself, without the help from anyone around. Apart from that, he thought that it was quite weird to work with someone who was his past enemy. Alexander hesitated, his heart torn between mistrust and the recognition that Noah's intentions were sincere. He knew deep down that they both shared a c
