“He is on his way to meet her now. We should inform the boss”, the man who had earlier spoken to Alexander said to his colleague who sat beside him. They both worked for Grey and was paid handsomely to track anything that concerned Alexander in order to find details relating to Amelia’s whereabouts.“Yes, we should call him because we have to get there before Alexander would”, the second man said just as they placed a call across to Grey. Grey was in the car with One. His face was red with fury as he tried to avoid colliding with other cars on the road. One observed his current state and kept silent, even if she had a lot on her mind. She still found it hard to place her hands on how they lost Amelia when they were already in her abode. It was a great shock none of them expected.“How did she disappear? Did you hear when her foster father said that she had no memories?” Grey asked One who nodded her head calmly.“Then how and why did she suddenly run away?” Grey screamed on top of
Amelia’s PovI was in the middle of taking a nap when the sound of a car arriving the drive way startled me. I jerked up and went down to meet Maya who was also wearing a troubled look.I couldn’t say why, but it looked as though she felt that I might be in great trouble if I fall into the wrong hands.“I don’t know if he is someone we can trust him, but we can try”, she said with an assuring gaze after which she led me out of the house.We met two men who wore a small smile and walked over to us.“We are looking for someone named Amelia”, one of them said while I looked at them intently, trying so hard to ascertain if they looked like someone I could trust.“Are you Alexander?” That was the first question that flew off my lips.Even if I had no idea of what Alexander looked like, I wanted to sure that I was not talking to an enemy.“Alexander is at his mansion. He can’t come pick you himself. He sent us instead and ordered that we bring you home safely”, he replied, still with a smal
Amelia made to run back to Maya’s house, but she was pregnant and could hardly go far. They caught up with her in no time and started dragging her away. “Let her go!” She heard a firm voice that sent cold shivers down her spine. They stopped right in their tracks and released her grip, but that didn’t last for a second because they started pulling her towards the car again.“I said, let her go!” They heard the voice again and this time, something flew across to one of their faces, causing him to wince in pain. It was a stone which Alexander picked up the moment he got down from the helicopter. Alexander had a big frown on his face as he looked at the two men who he couldn’t place his hands on who might have sent them. “Amelia…get to the helicopter…now”, Alexander said as he looked at Amelia who was still looking at him in confusion. He was taken aback by her countenance and the way she stared at him with an unfamiliar gaze, but he decided to remove his attention from her and fix
Alexander’s PovI was close to losing her, but I could only hope that I wouldn’t. Once I got to my helicopter, I gestured for the pilot to be fast even if I knew that he had a pace he worked with. Truly, I felt exhausted but the excitement of meeting with Amelia after such a long time was enough to gladden my troubled heart.Finally, we got to the location she spoke about earlier and I ran out of the helicopter, as though I would lose her the next minute.My instincts was right because I caught sight of two men who were trying to pull her into their car. “Let her go!” I had said to them firmly, running over to them, with my heart beating out of my chest. Amelia looked so great that all I wanted to do was pull her into a soft and warm hug. She had a confused look on her face and somehow, it felt as though she had no idea of who I was. I paid no attention to that though. I easily concluded that she was probably feeling traumatic at the moment because of what the men had planned to do
Amelia’s PovI kept mute all through the duration of the flight. At intervals, I turned to look at him and my heart broke. It was hard to place my hands on what our past might have been, but I could tell that the loss of my memories struck the deepest part of his heart. After some minutes, we arrived at the airport and he alighted and walked some distance away.I observed how fast he wiped tears off his eyes and it was clear that he broke into tears. My heart felt heavy for him, but my head was blank. Each time I made to recall even a slightest memory, I would feel a huge bang on my head and wince in pain.I knew that it wasn’t a good sign and so, to avoid creating further duress for my brain, I tried to tread carefully and allow the memories come back on it’s own accord.Alexander smiled at me after a while and led me to a car that was waiting. Surprisingly, he opened the car doors and walked in, gesturing for me to come inside.“This is your car?” I asked in amazement as I entered
Alexander’s PovIt felt like a part of me had gone missing. Amelia was with me in the mansion, but I still felt alone like I did whenever she was absent. This was Amelia, but the part of our love and memories were not with her. The pain was hard to contain because even in my dreams, I didn’t think or imagine that something like this would happen.I watched how she took a stroll around the house and I could tell that she was trying so hard to get in touch with something that would help her in regaining those memories.Just then, I heard a loud scream that made my heart fly out of my chest. I ran towards the noise and that was when I saw Amelia laying on the ground, wriggling in pain and holding her head. “Relax! Relax!” I said to her as I grabbed her and walked into the room. I quickly placed a call to the best doctor in the city and in less than thirty minutes, he was with us. Amelia was quite stable now, apart from the fact that her eyes were red and pale. I’ve never been scared a
Grey yelled out in rage the minute he dropped the call from his men. He screamed out of his lungs and smashed his fist on the table, slightly startling One who was sitting beside him and staring at him intently.“We almost got her!” He screamed in rage, with One nodding her head in affirmation.What he had just said was the truth and this was because his men made contact with the woman who Amelia was staying with. They were able to listen to their conversation and this made them trace their address. Grey had thought that this was a huge breakthrough for his quest, but all of that went to the wind in the split of a second.“She is back in Alexander’s arms. We should think of a solution here, rather than crying over spilled milk”, One let out a loud sigh after which silence fell on the atmosphere. “We should head back to her parents house and get some information that might help us”, One suggested and jerked to her feet.Grey broke into a massive laughter after which he took a shot fr
Alexander’s PovI woke up the next morning, with a small smile and frown on my face. It was strange that I felt both happy and sad at the same time, but there didn’t seem to be anything I could do about it.Amelia was sleeping beside me, with a peaceful look on her face and a small smile as well.For the next couple of minutes, I remained on the bed and gazed at her intently, with memories of every moment we shared together making way into my brain.I giggled softly and removed the hairs that were scattered all around her face.She swirled around at that point and opened her eyes. She made to jerk up, but I pinned her to the bed and reminded her that it was just me.“Don’t be scared…it’s me, your Alexander”, I said in a voice that sounded like a whisper while she finally recoiled back and relaxed, with a small smile on her face.“Are you that scared?” I inquired, searching through her eyes as though the answer to my question was there.She finally sat up and rubbed her eyes sleepily,
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
