CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

Amelia took in a deep breath as they both walked into the church. It was time for the couples to take their vows and she and her mother had agreed that she should escort the bride because of the absence of both her parents.

As if that was not suspicious enough that both her parents did not approve to the marriage, now she had to stand in for a girl that she barely knew.

She also could not get what Jackson had said out of her head even when she had laughed it off and changed the topic, she still heard it in her mind and still blushed at its remembrance.

It was obvious that he was trying to get something from her with the use of such flattery words. He had said that he was interested in her but she could hardly believe how fast this was all going and how fast her heart was racing at thoughts of him.

She had just finished one messy relationship and it was too early to be jumping into something she knew would never work out. She was not someone he would want and they

    CHAPTER TWENTY TWOAmelia’s mother was two things; a man magnet and the most frivolous woman that existed on the planet and so you could imagine her disappointment when she fell pregnant for a certain Mr Fallon with absolutely nothing to offer her. She had had no choice but to be his wife and when the time came, she gave birth to his son who died and then a daughter that she had nothing in common with safe for the hair and eye color.She of course had gone about her ways in having various men to do her bidding and even though her husband was aware of her many infidelities, he gave no indication of it which was all for the better because it was obvious that she wanted nothing from him but the pretense of marriage and the security that it offered. “You look every strung up” she muttered to her daughter who was standing closeShe watched her roll her eyes, breathing evenly to keep whatever she had to say in check.She and the girl never got along and it was as though they

    CHAPTER TWENTY THREE“What do you think they are talking about?” Amelia asked Jackson for the umpteenth time.They were back at the house which was a lovely house and he could see Amelia’s mother talking furiously with Ethan while casting a subtle glance in his direction. If he wasn’t so observant towards things like that from ladies then he would not have noticed her but he was and he could tell that they were talking about him and it was something he did not want to know about.She had not approached him since the time they met outside and then when they had nodded towards each other at the church but he had felt her eyes all over him since then and even now when she wasn’t looking, he could only imagine that she had some imaginary at the side of her face, staring directly at him.This was what Amelia had described about her mother and she had purposely left out the fact that they looked really alike down to the hair and eyes and up to the point that you would think she was her moth

    CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR“I would never do that on purpose and you have to admit that I was drunk and did not know exactly what I was doing” Amelia continued screeching even as they drove to the club“I know that which is why I did not bring it up until now when you asked” he thought her, his lips still turned up in a smile that he was sure she could see“Stop it” she muttered“Stop what?” Jackson asked innocently“Grinning like that… you are making me uncomfortable” she snarled“I would not want to make you comfortable but I cannot help it when you are like that. I don’t think it is anything to be ashamed of and it is all forgotten right now so you can stop feeling…”“Ashamed?” she muttered“That wasn’t the word I was looking for and besides you are excused because you were going through a breakup and I am quite surprised as to how well you handled it”“And now you are patronizing me” Amelia wailed, slumping into the chair.She could not believe that she could not remember doing anything

When he was a child, he had had a rough encounter with an animal that had left him scarred and had allowed women to make mockery of him so you can understand how he met Amelia and how she was the best thing that had happened to him in a while.They became close and soon were known as the school couple and it would seem that Amelia’s beauty kept his bullies at bay and their relationship left them pondering as to why she would even think to date someone as ugly as he was.They had one thing in mind and that was love and marriage; he was going to be a managing director for their accounting firm on the long run and she was going to work alongside him until they had saved up enough money for two kids before they get married.He proposed to her per her mother’s instructions and also partly because he wanted to but he had to admit that their sex life was zero and sometimes he thought that th

It was just a scare and you know I had been dancing too much.” He told her“You had a heart attack, dad… that is more than a scare. We almost… we almost lost you. Don’t ever do that again” she whispered, tears welling up in her eyes as she moved closer, her hand gently touching his arm.Her father's smile widened as he reached out to touch her arm.“I promise it will never happen again” he told herShe laughed at this, sniffling as she rose to give her mother a chance to

Where are you? We need to talk ” Liam’s voice rang out.Liam was a long time friend and someone he had not told about his journey.“We cannot meet right now… I am not in the country”“You are kidding” “I wish I was” Jackson muttered, climbing out of the bedThe day before had been a hectic one and after he and Amelia had gotten to the club, he had rang for food for her, drawn up a bath and had woken her up so she could eat before going back to sleep.“And you did not think to tell me that you were leaving the country? I hear it from you now?” Liam’s shock was evident in his voice “I am sorry, it totally slipped my mind and I have been dealing with some things; I will make it up to you so tell me what is the matter? Why have you called so early and is i

You have been there throughout the night and if you would like to take a break…”“That is not necessary… you can just get me a change of clothes and I will figure out the rest when you are here” her mother responded.Amelia hung up with her mind on how suddenly changed her mother had become because of what had happened. She wasn’t sure what to make of this new version of her but she wasn’t going to push her luck with her.“It is nothing to worry yourself about

Just me and I know it is a trap but there is no way I am going to allow him make good on his threat of sending me Amelia in pieces”“We cannot… I understand what you are saying but we cannot go there alone” Simon told himIt was the first time he and Liam were agreeing on anything “You are right, we aren’t going there alone… I am going on my own. I cannot let anything happen to her”“Nothing will but we have to figure this all out , come up with a plan. We are going to his own turf and he might as well kill the both of you.” Simon argued“He is right” Liam muttered. “We are going to go in with a plan, Jackson if we are going to have any chance of reaching the both of you alive.”Liam made a couple of phone

It would seem that the man he had asked to do a good job of keeping Jackson off his scent was doing a rather poor one because why the hell was his picture in the fucking news.The fucker had put a bounty on my head, Damien thought as he stared incredulously as the voice of the news presenter droned on. He was hot topic at the moment and he did not need that for his business. It would seem that he had underestimated Jackson. He wasn’t going to let him go scot free; it only meant that he had to kill the guy and the one way to do that was to lure him here to his own tuff.It was going to be easy once he dangled Amelia in front of him like a fucking worm on a hook. He knew the man would come running because he loved her.Damien laughed at this; he was going to enjoy killing Jackson and it was one way to take Amelia if he did it in front of her. She had

It is not your fault and the only thing we can do now is figure out a way to make sure we rescue her unharmed.” Liam told himThey were sitting at the table in a bunch with Natalie supplying snacks as they plotted. She had come along with Simon whom Liam still had not taken a shining to but she had said they had been together when he called so she could not refuse when he asked to accompany her.He wasn’t saying anything but he looked contrite as they tried to figure out what was going on and Jackson could not deny that he needed all hands on deck if he was ever going to see Amelia again.“I don’t think the detective is telling us everything we should

The one that tolerated indiscipline and had allowed her enjoy her years while she was running from him.He guessed he had Jackson to thank for making that open proposal. It has made him see his baby again and realized how much he wanted her back for himself.Oh, the things he planned to teach her and make her do to him. By the time he was done, she would never think of fleeing again.He escorted her into the house and straight for the den where he pushed her inside. She collapsed unto the floor, her eyes widening as they happened upon a portrait of her on the wall.He had had it made on the night he had seen the proposal by Jackson

    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHTAmelia remained silent as the car moved, her head buzzing with thoughts and my mind far away. She was unexpectedly calmer than she had thought she would be and she made no move even as Damien touched a hand to her thigh, grinning at her.She had no idea where they were headed and tried to regulate her breathing as much as possible so she did not behind panicking.She knew by now that Jackson would be aware of what had happened and would come for her. She only hoped it wasn’t too late.“You have been specially quiet; aren’t you going to rave and ask me questions?” Damien questioned herHe was surprised at her level of calmness; nay, he was disgusted by it.He wanted her to scream and he wanted to enjoy the terror in her eyes but she wasn’t giving him the satisfaction he craved.She was nothing like the fiery girl he used to know who would scream and curse even as he hit he countlessly.“I promised to do whatever you want; do you want me to ask you questions?”

    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVENAnna could the loud screams that was hers as she watched the car drive away with Amelia.Her heart pounded violently against her chest as she clutched the phone, her trembling fingers struggling to dial the numbers. Fear and panic gripped her as she attempted to call Liam. She was finding it hard to breathe and unable to form coherent thoughts as she waited for him to pick up “God please” she muttered to herself.She wasn’t much of a prayer person but at the moment, she hoped Amelia would be safe and they find her before Damien did something to her or worse killed her.The phone rang once, twice, and on the third ring, Liam's voice finally filled the line. "Hey, Anna, what's up?" he asked casually, unaware of the turmoil brewing on the other end.Anna's breath hitched, her voice barely a whisper, "L-Liam, it's Amelia. She's... she has been kidnapped. Damien came and he… oh my God, I am sorry for leaving her all alone in the house but I had to. I don’t know

Whenever Damien is not chasing after me? Don’t think about doing that and just go for your meeting. I will be fine and he has absolutely no idea that I am here so what could go wrong” she interrupted“Fine, I will be back in a jiffy so don’t go anywhere” Anna warned, taking the stairs in twos so she could prepare for the meeting.It was impromptu but it was important and although she wanted to stay home to watch over Amelia, she also had to consider her job and it is as Amelia had said. Damien had no idea where she was and even if he was looking for her, he would have eyes on either her house or Jackson’s and definitely not hersShe soon was ready an

I started looking into his operations, and it wasn't easy. He is elusive, leaving no traces behind, but I managed to uncover some crucial information."Jackson's eyes widened with surprise. "You investigated Damien already? Why didn't you tell me?" he asked“Of course I investigated him; how would you think I would after hearing all he had to say that evening. I needed to know what we were up against and how best to address the situation” Liam told him“So? What are we up against?” Jackson questioned. “What did you find out?” His curiosity now piquedLiam leaned forward, his voice hushed.“His full name is Damien Lodge and he is a well known drug dealer. It wasn’t hard getting information on him because he is wanted in about nineteen states for different crimes and no one has been able to pin him to any of the crimes. His empire is

Is there anything I can get you?” Anna asked as she opened the door to her friend’s room who had not come out in days “I don’t need anything; thank you for asking” Amelia muttered, her eyes drowsing from sleeping too much “I know you don’t but is there not a way or anything I can do to get you out of that bed? You have been like this for days and it is scaring me; when was the last time you had a fucking bath” She questioned, her eyebrows shooting up in concern.Amelia groaned. She did not want to talk about what was bothering her, only that she wanted to be left alone to her misery and fears but if there was one person who would understand seeing as she had accommodated her when she had run out on Damien then it was going to be Anna.Amelia could see that she was waiting for an explanation or a lifeline but she did not know how exactly to begin talking about it without falling apart and she wanted no one to tell her she was e
