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.

    “I need to talk to you,” Destiny said.“We have nothing more to talk about. You’ve said everything you wanted to say a year ago,” Nate said.“That’s not true. Please can I come in?” she pleaded.Nate sighed and let her in. Part of him wanted to slam the door shut, but he couldn’t do it. He needed to be strong and not petty.“Follow me,” he said and led her to the pool area. He sat down on the patio chair and motioned her to sit down in front of him.“Now talk,” he said.She took a deep breath and exhaled. “I made a mistake,” she said. “I should’ve never left you.”“Left me? In case you forgot, you cheated on me. With my own twin brother,” Nate scoffed. “And it was no mistake. You knew exactly w

    Amelia was starting to worry. She texted Nate hours ago, but he didn’t reply. Was he mad at her? Maybe she was too emotional and scared him off. Stupid Ame.She decided to call him instead. He can’t ignore her forever because she won’t let him!To her surprise, he answered right away.“Why won’t you text me back?” she asked before he had the chance to say hello.“Wow, needy much?” Nate laughed.“Yes, I’m needy, and I need you not to ghost me,” she said quickly.“I’m hardly ghosting you. It has only been a few hours, and you aren’t my mom or my girlfriend,” he said in an amused tone.“I know, I’m just the girl you like to have sex with. Don’t remind me,” A

    After school, he offered to take her home again. This time, Amelia didn’t argue with him and walked to the car. His smile vanished as he saw Destiny standing by his car. What now?“What are you doing in my school?” he asked. “Are you stalking me now?” Nate was irritated beyond belief.Destiny threw her arms around him and pulled him into a hug. Nate moved quickly and took her arms off of him. He is not going to be swayed by her easily this time.“I came to see you, silly! I was hoping we could spend some time together,” she said.“As you can see, I’m busy,” Nate said and motioned to Amelia.Destiny finally noticed Amelia standing there. Her face twisted into a frown.“Who is she, Nate?” she asked. Her eyes started to glow with jealousy.“She

    “Errm….hey Amelia,” Nate said nervously. He had never seen her so angry. The usual cheerful glow in her big brown eyes was replaced by rage-fueled fire. Nate was scared.“Don’t you ‘hey Amelia’ me you turd muffin! What do you think you are doing?” she roared.“It’s not what you thin….” Nate started to explain, but Destiny cut him off.“That’s none of your business. It’s between Nate and me,” Destiny said.“He is my best friend, and I am making it my business,” Amelia said and glared at her.“Excuse me? Who the fuck are you? You are nothing but a friend. I am his girlfriend!” Destiny announced.“Ex-girlfriend. And you are nothing but a SKANK who broke his heart to sleep with his look-alike,” Amelia cou

    “So, the rumors are true!” Amelia exclaimed. “Your father is in the Mafia. I never would’ve thought. Is that why you were depressed all the time? Because you were ashamed of it”.Nate nodded. His eyes were full of sadness. He told Amelia everything about him. He was tired of keeping secrets from everyone, and it was time, he told someone. Part of him was afraid that she would be disgusted to hear about his criminal family but didn’t want to hide it from her.“Alex happily embraced the life of crimes, but I never could. It was a punishment for me,” he said.“I am so sorry you have to endure so much because of your family,” Amelia hugged him and buried her face on his chest. “Have you ever thought of running away?”“All the time, but I am not dumb. I knew I wouldn’t go too far, and my father will eventually

    Nate called his father. He knew he was the only person who was capable of helping him at a time like this. His father had all the money in the world, and ten thousand dollars was nothing to him. He never asked his father for anything before, so he hoped he would pity him just this once.“Dad, I need your help,” Nate said, his voice was shaking with fear.“Nate, what the hell? Do you know what time it is?” his father Robert said in an annoyed tone.“Dad, please…this is serious,” Nate said desperately. He tried to control his emotions, but he felt like crying.Robert went quiet. He could hear the fear in Nate’s voice. “What happened? Are you in trouble?” he asked. “Nate, I swear to god, if you got yourself into some mess, I will…”&ldquo

    “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
