One walked over to Grey who was standing at his balcony and taking a sip from his glass of tequila. She had a worried look on her face and Grey pointed this out the minute he caught sight of her.“Something happened earlier today when I was in her room”, One divulged, causing Grey to look at her curiously.“What happened?” He asked and walked over to where she sat. “Has she figured out that we are the bad people here?” He asked with a panicked tone, beads of sweats forming on his forehead. One scoffed and shook her head negatively. “She had a flash of her memory with Alexander. It disappeared before she could see what it was.However, that got me bothered”, One explained, taking a deep breath and placing her hands on her chin. Grey looked at her intently and gulped down hard.“So…what are you saying? That we stop her from meeting with Alexander?” Grey asked and looked at One who didn’t seem to have come up with an answer. She shook her head negatively after a while and looked at
Amelia’s PovMy joy knew no bounds as I took the first pill and gulped it down with water. I couldn’t wait to finally regain my memories that I thought was lost forever. “Can we go now?” I asked as I stood up and started making my way towards the garage. One sauntered behind me and so did Grey. I had no idea of where we were going to, but Grey mentioned that it was a meeting point. A place where I could meet with Alexander without any form of issues…The ride was silent, apart from the fact that I observed how they kept stealing glances at me as though there was something they wanted to say. “If you both have something to say, you should let it out…stop staring at me as though I’m a thief”, I said and lowered my eyes to the ground.Grey laughed at that point and returned his gaze to my stomach.“You look so beautiful with your bump. I’ve been wanting to tell you that but was only waiting for the right time to do that”, he explained and blushed as if he was shy about what he just s
One’s PovSlowly, I was getting my revenge…even without putting so much effort. Amelia was currently taking some drugs that would make her unable to recover her memories forever. That seemed to be the perfect revenge I’ve ever wanted all these while. That is to say that she would never remember the moments she shared with Alexander. I was also getting so close to him and this meant that she wouldn’t be scared to open up and tell me things that she would never tell others. It felt perfect and I couldn’t help but thank myself for being so wise in a situation like this. No, I don’t have to torture her to get my revenge.This was enough torture, but she won’t feel it until we get done with her. At this point, I wanted to tear her and Alexander apart, after which I would lay my hands on the treasure. Once that is achieved, I would take her child when he is birthed. I wanted to give her a pain that would last forever and this was the only way to achieve that; being her friend for a whil
Alexander’s PovI was nervous and sort of scared. Never in my life have I been filled with so much uncertainty. It was so fierce that I could swear that I knew I would lose Amelia.Something didn’t feel right at all, and despite how hard I tried to calm my nerves, I couldn’t fully assure myself that everything would be okay. I walked out of my room and met Noah pacing around the front of my quarters. He looked worried as well, even if he had a small smile on his face to conceal that. “You don’t have to smile, even if you know that things are not alright. It’s okay to wear a frown and flow with mood”, I said with a wrinkled face as I walked my face in disgust. My heart was beating out of my chest just as I stared at the address that was on my phone. “I can see that you are scared and trust me, it is very okay to be scared”, Noah said and took in a deep breath. “Have you decided if I should go with you?” Noah asked and gave me a soft stare.Noah had asked that I allow him accompan
Alexander took a seat beside Amelia and watched how she flinched and shifted away…as though he were a plague. “What is wrong? Why are you moving away from me?” Alexander inquired, searching through her eyes as if he would figure out what the problem was from mere glance. “I have a couple of questions to ask you and I need you to answer everyone of them…without omitting anything”, Amelia said and darted her eyes sideways. Alexander was taken aback by how fierce and cold she sounded. Never did he think or imagine that this was the part of Amelia he was going to meet. “What went wrong? I would answer every question you have. I hope you know that I always tell you the truth?” Alexander asked, but Amelia ignored and took in a deep breath. “Tell me how I came into your mansion”, Amelia asked and fixed her eyes into his. Alexander scrunched his brows as new set of sweats broke out on his forehead. He had been trying so hard to avoid having this conversation with her. His past was one
Noah’s PovFrom where I sat, I could see Amelia and Alexander. They were some distance away from the car, but I could tell that something was wrong with the conversation. Alexander was trying to prove a point to her and she wasn’t making any attempt to oblige or agree to what he was saying. “This doesn’t look good”, I muttered under my breath as I came out of the car and looked around. I had no idea of what I wanted to do, but I was tired of sitting in the car. At this, I decided to take a stroll. Alexander had asked me to remain in the car and keep watch, but he had no right to order me around because we were not at the mansion.I missed Amelia too and wanted to pull her into a warm hug and tell her how much it was that I missed her. Strolling around the pack, I couldn’t help but recall how I had stumbled upon the treaure that was causing the entire chaos. At this point, I couldn’t help but believe that fate wanted to bless me. I had no idea that Amelia had dropped or lost it. I
Grey sat in the car, staring at Alexander and Amelia that was currently having a banter. His heart was filled with joy that he couldn’t withhold the laughter that came off his lips. One had gone to take a walk and so, he was the only one left in his car. He thought of the information One had given to him and he couldn’t help but laugh heartily in fulfillment. He was glad that he had Amelia in his palms now and she would do according to his bidding. Just then, he caught sight of One walking over to him, in the company of a young man. He lifted his brows curiously as they finally got to the car. “This is Noah…he used to work in the mansion and I knew him when I was there”, One introduced Noah to Grey who nodded his head and threw a questioning gaze at One. “Why is he here? Is there a problem?” He asked and One shook her head negatively. She gestured for Noah to proceed with telling Grey the exact things that he had said to her some minutes ago. “I think he wants to help us”, One
Alexander’s PovMy head swirled as I rushed back to my car, almost bumping into Noah that seemed to be coming from a place I had no idea of. He jumped into the car and I zoomed off, without sparing him a glance. My entire body was on fire and I was shaking as if a bowl of cold water got emptied on my body. The events that has just happened between Kayla and I replaced in my head and I screamed out of terror.“Take it easy! You would have an accident”, Noah pleaded as I swerved through different lanes of the road. There was nothing to do at this point because I felt totally empty. I felt lost and desolate…like a failure because I lost the one thing I was meant to protect with my entire life. How could I have let her slip off my grip? Not only that, she fell into the hands of her enemies and she wasn’t even paying attention to that. How would she even know when she doesn’t have her memories with her? “Gosh!” I screamed out of my lungs and slammed my fist on the steering wheel of th
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
