Amelia’s PovFirstly, I had no idea of why Five had called me up with the statement that concluded that I was the thief. The look on everyone’s face around made me shiver in fear while I wondered why she had just done what she did.“You said you have a confession?” Alexander asked as he threw a questioning gaze at me. I gulped down hard as I quickly recalled that I really said I have a confession.I had been so tensed that I had no idea of when that left my mouth.“Well…yes”, I stuttered as I scanned through my head to think of what to say.“Five and I had a conversation a couple of weeks ago where I told her of my plans to leave the mansion”, I said as I lowered my eyes to the ground.Perhaps, that was why she decided to tell them that I stole something which I did not…Afterwards, I turned my gaze towards Five who was barely looking at me. “Five…you can tell him the truth. That was the only thing i did”, I said as I fiercely stared ay Five who didn’t bat an eyelid.Alexander becom
Alexander was still in shock after the episode that had just happened between Amelia and Five. Deep down, he was glad that something like that happened which would be strong enough to stop Derek from taking Amelia.“Can you imagine that girl? I really liked her and wished to take her out of here”, Derek said to Alexander just as they chatted over a glass of wine.Alexander smiled in his heart and nodded his head calmly.“I had no idea that she could do such a thing”, Alexander said and shook his head negatively. The more he said those words, the more his heart sank into his chest. He couldn’t say why he felt bad having such a conversation about Amelia, especially when she was only a slave who had had gotten.“Could you believe how she tried to throw herself at me? As though she is a slut!” Derek yelled out of his lungs and just then, a cold shill ran down Alexander’s spine.“No…don’t call her that. She can be anything, but a slut”, Alexander said in a corrective manner and that made
Amelia’s PovTears flowed out of my eyes as I watched the way and manner in which the situation turned against me. A day ago, I was already making plans of how my life with Derek would be.How could Five be so cruel to the extent of framing me in such manner? All I did was being her friend and telling her every single thing that I thought of. Never did I think or imagine that she would decide to use all of that against me.And Derek, he just stood there with a look of pleasure in his eyes. He seemed to be glad that I was being punished for attempting to steal his gold wrist watch which I never did…I had thought that he trusted me, but seeing how he turned agaisnt me and accepted all what they said made me shiver in fear. Maybe it was a great thing to stay at the mansion, rather than leaving with Derek who might turn out to be worst than Alexander…“Ouch!” I yelped in pain as tears poured out of my eyes.I could swear that the marks on my back would never disappear any time soon. Ev
Alexander’s PovI felt extremely bad after everything happened. Once I saw Derek off to the airport, I returned back to the mansion and met a wave of guilt. I never felt that I would feel bad after everything that had happened. I was the master and I had to do all what I did in order to prove that no one had the right to do against the rules.“Why do I feel bad?” I asked myself over and over again as I walked over to the room in confusion.Each minute I closed my eyes, I caught sight of Amelia and the series of tears that poured out of her eyes. Deep down in my heart, I knew that she didn’t deserve it, but despite that realization, I had no idea of what to do.At this, I went over to meet with Noah who was surprised to see me. He shivered in fear since it was strange to see me coming over to hold a conversation with him.“Is Eleven okay?” I asked him and for a minute, he gazed at me as though he have just seen a ghost.I wiped off the sweats that formed on my forehead just as I awai
Alexander’s PovI opened my eyes to see that I was only having a dream. I had been so worried about how everything turned out that I ended up dreaming about her and how I searched for her.I knew that I wanted to see her. My heart was calling out for her and I would never find peace if I don’t apologize…In my room, I threw myself down to whatever to get my mind off Amelia but it didn't seem possible. Alighting from my chair and moving to the window, I inhaled sharply hoping the beautiful scenery of the garden would make me feel better but it didn't!. I found it hard to forgive myself for punishing her in such an heartless manner when I knew she was innocent. I mean, it showed as clear as day!"It doesn't matter, Alexander. You shouldn't feel guilty for punishing her. You own her afterall" I mumbled to myself but the guilt still wrapped around my chest ever so tightly. As if right on cue, I saw eleven rush into the garden in a white flowery dress. She scrunched down hugging her kn
Amelia's povWhen I got back to my room, I placed the ointment Alexander gave me ontop of the drawer. I was skeptical on whether I should use it or not and you couldn't blame me. He was the one who had inflicted the wounds on me in the first place. I scoffed in disbelief. "So he thinks an apology is going to cut it?"I shook my head at the absurdity of his thought. "How funny"Stripping off my dress, I stood in front of a mirror. Looking at the reflection of my back, I fought the urge to cry. These marks were definitely going to be there for a while. I was still in disbelief how five could do this to me. The betrayal stinged more than anything I've ever known. The fact that she went through such lengths just to leave with Derek hurt the more. Even though I was desperate to leave this mansion as well, I would never have done anything as drastic as that to five. "I guess I'm just born unlucky" I muttered as I threw myself down on the bed. "Let's just sleep. Hopefully tomorrow would
Amelia’s PovWhile working, I looked around to see if there were any eyes on me and on seeing that I was free from both Alexander and One, I made my way up to Noah, pulling him to the side. “What's the matter?” Noah questioned in a manner of urgency. I looked around one more time, ensuring that we were out of ear shot, or else the next words that came out of my mouth would cost us our lives. “We need to hasten our plan to leave the mansion” I say all tensed up and in a whisper. I was desperate to leave because the fact that I could be pregnant weighed heavily upon me and If I needed this child to survive, I needed to leave this mansion as fast as I could. I was yet to figure out if I was pregnant, but I had to make plans beforehand. Noah's eyes widened with surprise. I could tell he hadn't expected me to be this antsy about escaping this mansion. "Did Alexander do anything to hurt you? Did he touch you? Tell me”, he asked immediately. I shook my head, denying all allegations.
Amelia searched through her bags, hoping that she didn’t misplace the pregnancy test strip her foster mother had gifted her on her birthday. Finally, she found it laying right at the bottom of her bag. A small smile spread across her lips, but quickly faded away when she remembered everything that happened to her on her birthday. She recalled the pitiful look her foster mother had on her face and somehow, she wished she was given chance to spend more time with her. Her foster mother was a great person and seeing that she couldn’t do anything to save Amelia made Amelia’s heart break.For what seemed like ages, Amelia held on to the pregnancy test strip, with different thoughts swirling around her head. First, she tried to think of why her foster mother deemed it fit to add a pregnancy test strip to the number of presents she gave her. “Maybe she felt that it’s time for me to start having sex…and she wanted me to be aware of my status”, Amelia said as she chuckled calmly.However, he
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
