Amelia’s PovFor the first time since I came into the mansion, I was concerned with what I wanted to get clad in. It was quite surprising that I brought out my clothes from my wardrobe and went through every bit of it, to find one which would fit be better.There was every need to look good since the men who were coming over would be needing ladies who looked great. I had no idea of what life with them would look like, but I was certain that I wouldn’t be hidden in a mansion, just like I was at the moment.One glared at me almost every minute. I was currently in the middle of my clothes, since I hadn’t discovered the best to wear.After what seemed like ages, I finally brought out a red skimpy dress, which was quite revealing at the front. This was the dress I had planned to wear on my birthday. Even if I never knew I would be having a party, I had only wanted to wear the dress and feel good in it.“What are you preparing for?” One asked with a suspicious look on her face.She star
Alexander’s Pov My eyes opened in shock the minute I heard a small whimper coming not so far from where I stood. I had gone out to welcome my guests and just as we headed towards the garden, Alexander bumped into one of them.I glanced at her intently, taking in the dress she was currently clad in and wondering why she decided to dress in such a manner today.Never did she wear a dress as beautiful as that ever since she started living in the mansion.Derek, my friend whom she bumped into, crouched down low and held her legs lovingly.“So sorry, miss…are you okay?” He asked her while she winced in pain and clutched to her knees. She had tears coming out of her eyes now, and I couldn’t help but get infuriated by this.“She would be fine. We should head over to the garden and have our meal before it gets cold”, I said, not wanting to cast another gaze across to Amelia.She looked so stunning that I felt like grabbing her and taking all of her right there on the spot. However, I needed
Amelia’s PovThe only plan I had was to bump into him and get his attention. Passing out right there on the spot was not part of the plan. My head was banging terribly and my eyes were bleary. After a long time of staying still on the bed, I finally decided to open up my eyes since the bed I laid on wasn’t close to being familiar.I met a full face staring at me intently, with a little frown and smirk.I jerked up immediately and sat up on the bed, looking around and trying to decipher where I was at the moment. Deep down, I wished that I was taken to a hospital, but my wishes were squashed right at my front when I observed that we were still in the mansion.“I know that look on your face… you are not so pleased”, the strange man said to me with a bigger smirk on his face.I sighed deeply and nodded my head calmly. There was a wave of peace that surrounded my heart the moment I realized that it wasn’t Alexander. The man looking at me was quite handsome too and he seemed to have a wa
Alexander thought that he had heard wrongly, but the look on Derek’s face clarified that he was dead serious.He chuckled calmly to ease the tension that currently lingered in the atmosphere. There was no way Amelia had the right to stay over in a guest's room. That was not the norm…at least, until he made a choice of the lady he wanted to go with.“But then, you should understand that it’s not the right thing to do. That is not how things are done here. She can’t stay over in your room, until you have decided that she is the lady you want to go with”, Alexander said, trying so hard to sound cool about the situation, even if his heart was beginning to boil.He was quite disturbed because it was Amelia, and he couldn’t place his hands on why he felt that way. “Well… I understand you. But then, she isn’t feeling quite well and for that, there is a great need for me to monitor her tonight”, Derek said with a small smile.Amelia seemed to be caught up in the present situation. Her head w
It was time for breakfast the next morning. Everyone was sitting in the dining hall, except for Derek and Amelia.One was quite stunned and confused about what was going on. She had seen Amelia dressing up yesterday, but to her greatest surprise, she didn’t return after she left the room.She had thought that she was with Alexander, but when she didn’t return at daybreak, One knew that there was something more.The breakfast hall was quiet as everyone exchanged quiet glances with each other. They seemed to have a thousand questions in their hearts, but none of them deemed it fit to let it out.“Who are we waiting for?” Stan, the second guest, suddenly said as he took in a deep breath and shot a questioning gaze at Alexander.Alexander took in a deep breath and glanced at his wristwatch again. It was almost 8:am and breakfast was slated for 7:am.He had called Derek that morning to remind him of the time for breakfast. But then, he was yet to show up, and that was beginning to get infu
Amelia’s PovI could see the rage in Alexander’s eyes and deep down, it made me shiver. I had never seen him that raged since I came into the mansion.On my part, I was extremely annoyed. How could he have given me a punishment that involved spending three nights in the dungeon?“What did you say?” Alexander’s voice pierced into my thoughts, and that was when I recalled that I had said something that angered him.“Did you say that you won’t get on your feet?” He asked in a louder voice, digging into my soul with his eyes.I gulped down hard and looked at the other girls who had an amused look on their faces. Apparently, they were surprised at the taunt I was presently pulling. The men around looked at me calmly, with a smirk on their faces. I couldn’t bear looking over at Alexander’s face because I could feel how he looked already.“I meant that I would love to go start my punishment already”, I suddenly said, since I didn’t want an additional punishment to the one that have been dis
Alexander’s PovMy eyes popped out of its sockets the minute Amelia started walking close to Derek. It was strange to see her doing it with so much ease, even though he was only a stranger.I had told every lady to do a little display that would make the guests see them fully. Most of them danced, but Amelia was doing something that I couldn’t place my hands on…She sat on Derek’s lap and started swirling her body in delight, chuckling as she did it and licking her lower lips in excitement.My heart dropped each minute, and all I wished to do was go over to her and grab her away from him.However, there was no way I could do such a thing right there at the front of everyone. At this point, I understood what she was trying to do; she wanted to gain Derek’s favor and make him to choose her.I clenched my fist in rage as I gulped down and wiped off the sweats that had formed on my forehead. There was this urge to claim Amelia and make her for myself alone, but there was no way I could do
Amelia’s Pov “You are meant to be serving your punishment, but you’re out here on a walk?” Alexander asked angrily as he grabbed me on my wrist and started leading me away from Derek.Derek made to talk, but he gave him a dead glare that caused him to remain mute. Hot tears threatened to fall out of my eyes when I thought of his cruel he could be. I was out there having a great time with someone who was willing to listen to me, but he decided to end it by reminding me that I had a punishment to serve.“Let me go!” I cried out as the tears finally dropped out of my eyes.Was there anyone as cruel as him?He was literally punishing me for spending a night at Derek’s room, even if he was aware that I wasn’t feeling great. “Didn’t you know that I wasn’t sick? You gave me the permission to spend the night there! Why then are you punishing me for that?” I asked and for a minute, I though I saw a string of jealousy passing through his eyes.He pushed me forward while I staggered, almost l
