CHAPTER FORTY NINE She knew nothing about stitching wounds, or taking out a bullet from a person’s skin, she didn’t know if it was something she could actually do. “The first aid box is in the bathroom at the side of the closest, bring it” she nodded running into the bathroom, it took her some time to find the box and she returned back with it, her hands shaking as she dropped the box, she almost felt like crying out, she was confused and she didn’t know what to do.“It’s okay Amelia, you can do it, just calm down”She didn’t know if she could actually be able to do it, she had never come this close to so much blood in her life, how the hell would she close it up?Her hands shook as she took the object that looked a like a scissors, she only knew about these from movies and that wasn’t enough, what if she made a mistake, what if she caused some sort of infection.“Your’e doing great, Amelia”Except from the sweat forming on his forehead, there was no other sign of discomfort or
It was different at work and Amelia was yet to see it as a good change, now when she walked past other workers, they straightened up, like she was the boss, she was addressed with respect also. But what she did enjoy was that the rumors were gone, Kristen had no one to tell her lies about her fake dates with Xavier, her clones now understood that it was better to steak to their jobs than hang around with her as their jobs could be on a high risk.Xavier walked around like he hadn’t been shot just a week ago, she was proud of her work with the stitches, she had feared that something would go wrong, that she didn’t do it the right way but it all turned out fine.She hadn’t seen Kelvin for the whole week, he was doing a very good job at avoiding her and she felt guilty to say it was better that way. Things hadn’t ended well with them and even if she wanted to apologize more, she understood the importance of giving him space. He needed it.She also had to give a shit load of explanation t
Her heart raced. What the hell was Mel doing, she walked to her, taking her hands and leading her hurriedly to a more private location some distance away.She hugged her, she had really missed her friend, but it felt very strange.“What the hell are you doing here?” she asked, finally examining her friend.No this wasn’t the Mel she knew. Mel was looking all tattered, with slightly busy hair and wrinkled clothes.“What is happening to you, are you alright?” “I lost Jacob… we had an argument, he hit me and he got drunk and he got an accident”Lies.Amelia could taste the lies, the question was ‘why the hell was Mel lying and why was she here?’, they made a plan and this could spoil it all.“Amelia I can’t anymore, we have to do what is right” Mel said, tears falling down her eyes but Amelia was just more confused.“What are you talking about?”“I’m saying that I want my husband back”It was like a dream, what the hell was Mel saying, what did she mean that she wanted her husband back?
CHAPTER FIFTY TWOMel gave a small sly smile, "After all, he wouldn't mind giving his wife such a sum, it didn't give you any problem, when you were getting it last time, so why would it now?"Mel was black mailing her, to hide her secret would come with a price and what was worse was that it was once both their secrets.Amelia always knew that there would be a Million and One issues due to all the lies she had told, she knew issues would rise sooner or later but what she never ever expected was that Mel would be the first one to bring all those issues."I will give the money to you, were do we meet?"Amelia said, her voice wiped clear of emotion, something bitter rising in her throat - the taste of betrayal."I'll be giving you an account to send it to me, don't worry, it doesn't carry my name"Mel passed a paper to her, containing the bank account, this was all planned out.Amelia turned around to walk away but Mel held her back."Nothing later than 6pm in the evening by the morrow"
"How do you know?""Simple. I predict the future. So now you have admitted to my awesomeness, what is the issue, what's the cause of the long face?"She couldn't tell him here and she was glad that he understood the look in her eyes and said "maybe you could tell me on the way home?"She nodded, he opened the door for, her like an absolute gentleman and she entered before he rounded the car and entered too."Are you alright you look... Pale""I'm alright" she said taking a deep breath, she let the silence calm her nerves."I want to ask you for a favor, is pretty huge and..." She didn't know how to put it so she started again, "I need you to do me a huge favor...""I get it, its a favor and it's huge. So what is the favor?"She could see the concern in his eyes even if a smirk remained on his face."I need some money" She expected him to react but instead he looked unbothered. "About Two Million", she added, her heart beating, she hope he complied, that he wouldn't ask any questions,
Every night, it was either Xavier came back late, maybe at a time she was deep in sleep or he wouldn't cone home at all, he awoke early too and the only chance she had to actually see him was at the office and he was not always around. This was good right? At least he wasn't treating her as a slave or a whore, at least he gave her the respect she wanted, but now she wanted more. Once she had thought that this all she would ever need, all she would ever ask for but now she discovered that she wanted more, she wanted more than just his respect, she wanted love, she wanted him to be close, to hold her, she wanted to come back from work in the evening and talk to her husband about what happened at work, she wanted to go on dates- or at least go to places together with him, she wanted so much and everyday when Shawn rode her to work, it became more clearer that those thoughts were just wishful. It would never happen. She was married to a Mafia Leader who had to travel places, he had too muc
Walking closer to the main room, she heard a familiar voice. Diana. What was Diana doing here? Just as she had thought, Diana was seated there, laughing at a joke Shawn had maid, before shoving him roughly away. “Hey. Keep your gorilla hands off me” Shawn said rubbing his arm where Diana had hit him “Soon you’ll be pleading for it” Shawn smirked, “Then be rest assured”. Diana visibly straightened when Amelia walked in. “What are you doing here?” “I just came to check on you…” “Are you denying me?” Shawn asked with mock surprise. “I never knew you were so ashamed to tell her I invited you over to be my date at the party” Diana shoved Shawn again and he muttered something like “Gorilla fists” “Is that so?” Amelia asked with a wide grin, her tongue itching to tell Shawn all what Diana had been saying about him for the past months. “I never knew you were interested”, she said with a wider grin. “Oh. Don’t you dare give me the I TOLD YOU SO look” “I wasn’t doing any of that
She was so damn beautiful, though he could see the effort it took for her to walk on those very high heels, he knew Amelia- she didn't like anything that discomforted her so he wondered. She still looked beautiful with or without the makeup. He had bought this dress for her and he was worried it wouldn't match her as she had a petite frame but it did fit her so well. If she knew the price of that very dress, she wouldn't even let it kiss the floor or maybe she would have refused the gift, that's why he had taken it upon himself to remove the price tag. Amelia was his wife and she should be envied but now he wished he bought something Mir covering. it showed off too much- he had never been bothered about a thing like this but now he was, she had a sizable breast and her cleavages was partly left in the open. He felt like reaping out the eyes of every man in the hall. He saw how they watched her hungrily, with lust filled eyes, she was like a lamb among wolves, but he could see the ef
