Nate went back to his room, feeling angry at himself. What was he thinking about kissing her impulsively? And why did he have to go and tell her it was a mistake. It must’ve hurt her feelings, and that was the last thing he wanted.
He couldn’t imagine what she might be thinking right now. He knew for a fact that he wasn’t entirely over Destiny, so it was unfair for him to confuse Amelia like that. He couldn’t give her his heart since it was already broken.
A knock on the door snapped him back to reality. “Who is it?” he asked in an annoyed tone. He was in no mood for company right now.
“Open the door, Nate,” Amelia spoke from the other side.
He wasn’t expecting her. He figured he would be the last person she would want to see after that kiss. He opened the door and let her in.
“Um… what’s up?&
Amelia stared at the hard muscles that were hidden under his clothes. Her heated eyes were overwhelmed with intense desire. She wanted that body against her right now.“Regret? I doubt it,” she smiled.“You are so infuriating,” he said and softly bit her neck.She moaned. “And you are driving me crazy by trying to resist me. You are a hormonal teenage boy. Live a little,” she giggled.“Are you sure this is your first time? I’ve never met a virgin who was so aggressive about wanting to have sex. Aren’t you scared I’ll hurt you?” Nate asked.“How many virgins have you had?” Amelia squinted at him.“I asked you first,” Nate laughed.“I am not scared. I trust you,” she said quietly. “You won’t hurt me,”
Nate woke up early in the morning. He looked down as he felt something soft against his chest. Amelia. He remembered everything from last night. His arms were still wrapped around her. She had her head rested on his chest, where she slept peacefully.I’ve never seen anything so beautiful, he thought.He ran his fingers through her hair but then snapped them back when she moved.“Hmm…is it morning already?” she yawned and sat up. Her cover moved from her upper body, revealing the smooth skin which reminded him of the warmth he felt last night.“Are you blushing, Mr. Bad boy?” she said as she stared at him intently.“Um…fuck no? What are you still doing here? You should get out of my room before everyone else knows what we did last night,” he barked.“You mean how you ravag
Nate woke up in the empty house and released a sigh of relief. Alex was gone so he could breathe again. His presence made him angry. It wasn’t just about Destiny.There were many other reasons for him to hate his twin, which he couldn’t mention to Amelia. He couldn’t tell her everything. She was his only friend, and he was afraid of losing her. He couldn’t tell her the rumors about him were true. His dad didn’t run an innocent business. He was indeed the son of a Mafia leader.His father raised him and Alex as normal teenagers, but he knew that they were expected to join his illegal business once they graduate high school. They were both trained for it since they were kids. They had to endure unbearable torture from their father’s hands so they would be fit to be the next Mafia leaders.Nate didn’t want any part of it. He wanted a normal life. He secretly planned to esca
Nate brushed a few strands of hair from Amelia’s face. She was sleeping peacefully. He should’ve left already, but something inside of him told him to stay.“Hmm…Nate,” Amelia whispered in her sleep and smiled. Nate’s heart started to pound against his chest. Was she dreaming about him? Just the thought itself made him happier than it should have. He avoided falling for a girl for the longest time, but it was getting harder and harder with Amelia. He had to leave and clear his head.“Nate! Hey,” Amelia called to him at school the next day.“Hey Ame,” Nate said, suddenly feeling nervous.She smiled and hugged him. “Thank you for taking care of me again last night. You didn’t have to stay, you know. But I was glad you did.”“I wanted to,” he said.&ldquo
Nate was angry and frustrated. His father treated him more like a tool than a son. He was tired of being used. But there was nothing he could do about it. If he left, his father would find him, and he’d be in even bigger trouble. He had to be patient.He prepared for the show later that night. His father brought an expensive suit for him to wear. It wasn’t his style, but he posed as Alex tonight, who was all about flashy clothes. It wasn’t the first time he had to take Alex’s place. He knew how to act like him. They were twins, after all.He arrived at the show in a few minutes and looked around the building. There were a handful of people walking around looking at the paintings. He felt awkward and out of place. What did his father expect him to do here anyway?“You are Alexander Wolf, aren’t you?” A tall guy with a beard suddenly spoke to him. He was wearing clothes th
Amelia felt excited about going to the art show tonight. She had been waiting to go for weeks. She wanted to invite Nate and make him go with her but decided against it. She knew it wasn’t his thing. Besides, things have been a little weird since they slept together, and she didn’t want to make it worse by asking him out on a date.She knew she had to act cool because Nate wasn’t the type of guy who easily admitted his feelings. She pretended it was okay to go back to being friends, but she wished things were different deep down. At the same time, she was glad he didn’t want her as a girlfriend. With her condition, she knew she could die any day. The last thing she needed was to get involved with someone.She wore an elegant floor-length gown with an open back. She tied her thick wavy hair into a braided bun. This was a fancy event which she could never afford on her own, but her aunt was sweet enough to send he
“Alexander Wolf, we meet again,” the stranger said.“Um…hi,” Nate said. He didn’t have a single clue who this man was.“What, you don’t recognize me, do you? Of course, you don’t. Well, take a good look at the man whose business you and your father are trying to destroy,” the man said.“Sorry, I really don’t know who you are,” Nate was telling the truth since he never associated with anyone that Alex knew.“No matter, maybe this will remind you,” the man took a knife out, which glinted under the moonlight. “I prefer to shoot, but I figured it would be quieter to slash your throat,” the man said and charged at him.Nate moved quickly. He may not have as much experience as Alex to tackle these types of situations, but he was not weak. His father trained him to defen
“I’m mad at you,” Amelia announced the next day.“Huh? Why?” Nate was confused.“You said the sex in the cabin was the last time, and we were going to go back to being just friends. But last night, you practically ravaged me in that closet and almost got us caught by my mom,” she said.“You weren’t so mad when I put my dick in your…..” Amelia slapped her hand on Nate’s mouth so he couldn’t finish his sentence.“Shut up, you jerk! You want the whole school to know about it?” she exclaimed.Nate burst out laughing.“I just don’t want things to get confusing between us,” Amelia said.“What’s there to get confused about? We are friends, who like to fuck sometimes,” Nate shrugged.
“No,” Nate said.His facial expression was cold and hard. It was the face of a cruel, ruthless beast whose heart was made of stone. At least that’s what he made himself believe. But Amelia didn’t look scared. Not even a little.“Pleaaase?” she made her signature ‘I am cute and innocent’ face that melted his heart every single time.“Goddammit,” Nate muttered under his breath. Be strong, Nate, don’t let her get to you, he thought.“I said no, Amelia, now beat it!” he growled.“But…baby…I love you…” she whimpered and stared at him with those big brown eyes.“JESUS! Fine, I’ll wear the damn sweater,” he grumbled and put the sweater on. It was very bright and colorful. Not to mention completely hideou
“NATE!” Amelia screamed and ran toward Nate.“Jesus, are you trying to damage my hearing permanently?” Nate scowled.“Oh my god, what happened to your face? You are bleeding!” Amelia gasped. Tears started to stream down her cheeks.Nate’s eyes softened. “Hey, stop crying. I am okay, I swear,” Nate pulled her into an embrace.“What do you mean you are okay? You are hurt, you stupidhead!” Amelia sobbed harder.Nate couldn’t help but laugh. He tightened his hug. “Shh…I am going to be fine. It’s over now,” he comforted her.“Hey man, we are glad you made it alive,” Ryan said and patted him on the back.“Thanks, Ryan. And I am sorry for being a jerk to you all the time,” Nate said. “I don’t r
Nate woke up alone in an unfamiliar room. It was cold and dark and smelled of Mildew. There was no other furniture in the room besides a bed. His hands and legs were tied together with thick zip ties. What the hell was going on?He remembered being at the Prom with Amelia, dancing the night away. Then the power outage happened. Someone must’ve kidnapped him when it was dark.Fuck…he thought. He hoped Amelia was okay. If something happened to her, he would raise hell.“Oh, look who is finally awake?” A deep voice spoke.A man in a mask stood in front of him, holding a gun in his hand. “Sleepytime is over, pretty boy,” he remarked.“Fuck you,” Nate barked.“Ah, still feisty despite his situation, huh. Look, kid, I don’t want to hurt you, but I need you to cooperate,” the man sa
Nate held Amelia close to his chest and swayed with the music. She was right. He ended up having fun after they arrived at the Prom.It’s because I am here with her, he thought. Even Ryan became tolerable after a while.“I didn’t know you were such an amazing dancer,” Nate said. He was truly surprised at how gracefully she moved to the dance floor. This girl was full of surprises.“There’s a lot you don’t know about me, mister,” she smirked.Nate leaned over to kiss her, then all of a sudden, the lights turned off, and it was pitch dark in the auditorium. He heard a few gasps coming from the students, and they started to chatter among themselves loudly.“Everyone, just stay calm and stop moving about!” One of the teachers yelled through the noise. “We are going to find out what is going on,
“So, what happens now?” Amelia asked.“Alex and I decided to give her a chance to make amends to us since we know how ruthless our father was. But as soon as she mentions anything about money, she is out. We still can’t trust her fully.” Nate said.“I understand completely,” Amelia nodded.“I am sorry you’ve been through so much, Nate,” she said and stroked his arm gently.“Me? You almost died. I would think you had it worse,” he said.“But you suffered your whole life! I at least had people who loved me and cared for me,” she said sadly.“It doesn’t matter anymore. I have you now,” he smiled. “Thank you for never stop being a parasite,” he smirked.“Stop it! I am not!” Amelia exclaimed. &ldquo
Alex was angry about his mother coming back, just as Nate predicted.“Not a fucking chance in hell!” he growled on the other line. ”That bitch never cared about us. She just wants our money,” he added.“I feel the same way,” Nate said.“Then why are you giving her the chance to speak to us?” Alex demanded to know.“Because I want to give her a chance to explain,” Nate said.“Sucker…” Alex grumbled.“Look, if you don’t want to meet her, that’s up to you. But I am doing it,” Nate was annoyed.“No, I don’t want you to face her alone. I’ll be there,” Alex said and hung up the phone.Nate sighed. As much as he disliked his brother
Nate took Amelia to visit his grandmother and see how she was holding up about his father’s death. His 85 years old grandmother Meredith was the closest family member he had. His own mother didn’t care about him or Alex, but Meredith was always there for the two of them.Meredith smiled when she saw them approaching.“Nana!” Nate yelled and ran to his grandma to hug her. “I’ve missed you,” he said.“I missed you too, sweet boy,” Meredith said and patted him on the back. “And who is this lovely girl with you?” she asked.“This is Amelia, my girlfriend,” Nate said shyly.“Ah, look at you. Such a beautiful girl. My Nate has good taste,” Meredith smiled.Amelia blushed. She could sense his grandmother was someone special to Nate. Meredith didn’t seem
The next day, Nate prepared for what’s to come. He knew as soon as his dad dies, things would get more complicated. As the next of kin, Nate and Alex are expected to take over his business. This means Nate was expected to join the Mafia alongside Alex. But that wasn’t part of Nate’s plan. He couldn’t let that happen. He promised Amelia that he’d stay away.He went to meet with Alex and Roz, his father’s right-hand man, at the den. His father’s lawyer was supposed to be there for the Will reading as well.“There you are, Nate,” Roz said as soon as he entered the room. “He is going to go through the will now,” he added and motioned to the lawyer.Alex was sitting on the couch with a grim expression on his face. Nate flopped down next to him without saying another word.“Alright then. Let’s begin,” the lawyer
Nate came directly to her house and knocked on her door. She was surprised at his sudden visit at first, but when she saw how his face looked, she knew something was wrong. She didn’t ask him any questions and sat there with him on the couch, waiting for him to say something.“My father, he…he is dead,” Nate said flatly.Amelia gasped and immediately held his hand. “What? How did that happen?”“They say it was a heart attack. I found him sitting on the couch, already dead,” Nate shook his head.“Oh my god, Nate, I am so sorry. I can’t believe your father passed away so suddenly!” Amelia exclaimed and hugged him. “Are you okay?”“It’s okay. I am okay. I am just in a shock,” he said.“I understand. What about Alex? Does he know?” she as
