He had been honest with her, he had told her the story of his past, she wished that she could use this opportunity to tell him the truth too, but she was afraid, did he want her or did he went Amelia James Jones.She was afraid to break his heart, he had gone through a lot, she wouldn’t add to it, now he was opening up to her, if she told him the truth he could retreat behind the walls he built around himself walls that she had tried so hard to penetrate into.Maybe, just maybe she could die with the secret, no one would ever know. Maybe she could burry the secrets forever. Wistful thoughts.She had judged them all even before she knew them, she felt like a hypocrite, they all had secrets and good reasons behind it all.The day of the party had arrived. Xavier, Shawn and maybe Blake was waiting for her downstairs she was to get dressed and go to the party at Neon Fashion Trends with them, she was sure Diana would be worried, but there was no reason for her to be. She hadn’t bothered i
The party was in full swing, it was finally time to face Diana.She watched Diana as she walked to her, stealing her away from Xavier’s arms.She instantly felt a strange longing, she wanted to be always there in his arms, there was this warmth that came with his presence.‘What the hell!” Diana screamed over the noise,“You guys were so romantic and in public?, what the hell is happening, you should have seen how much attention was on you when you walked in… wait could that be why you were again absent from work for almost a week?”So much questions, she thought she was ready to answer them, but all her answers would have to be lies, so it was better to be more prepared. “I tell you everything, but I’m actually discussing some business with Xavier, he wants to approve my designs, but I’ll tell you everything after then”“You sure?” Diana asked with an arched eyebrow.“Of course”, Amelia said with a laugh that sounded too high… too fake.She stalked away from Diana back to Xavier.“Ba
There are times when you feel like burying yourself under the ground, well this was one of those times.Everyone gapped. She had been in this office for some months now and no one knew, albeit those who had talked down on her would be scared now, thinking they had both planned it- to go undercover so as to spy on the workers or something. She pushed her legs forward, the only thing that motivated her to move on was the look on Kristen’s face. Horror. And how satisfying it felt.He had been the one to make the rule, she had thought that he had been ashamed of her or he wanted space to mess around with other women without them having that knowledge that he was a married man. Seems like she too had her own trust issue to deal with. Xavier stood, all bold, strong and handsome and she felt a kind of pride in her heart- he was all hers, no one else.All eyes were on her. Was this how celebrities feel?. Well she didn’t like the attention. She almost waved her hands out to the watchers becaus
He watched Amelia as she ran out, chasing after Kelvin. There was a pang in his heart. Jealousy, but he suppressed it, he had actually expected his, he felt a little bit bad - for Amelia.A phone call broke his line of thought, it was his private number so it must be something urgent, he picked up the call."Boss, Kruger had been shot, there's an attack at the club it's the Spanish and I believe they joined forces with Fred and his men.Shawn was standing next to him and from the look on his face, he had overheard the conversation, Blake was also at his side in the next minute."Kruger had been shot, there's an attack, their currently fighting at the club in Down Town. Shawn, you’ll stay with Amelia, make sure no harm comes to her, Blake come with me"They both nodded. Shawn walked away to find Amelia and Blake followed him out of the party which was now in full swing.They took the convertible, leaving the limousine behind, Xavier drove as Blake loaded the guns and checked on their a
(XAVIER) ***** “Retreat!” Matteo called out to his men and they obeyed, filling out of the club. Xavier let finally let Casso go, pointing a gun at him, just to make sure they didn’t try anything stupid. “Good choice” Matteo called as he entered into his car, “It’s always fun messing with you” Matteo had lied, just as he had suspected, he didn’t have anyone watching Amelia. It all happened in slow mode, Matteo had brought out his gun to shoot Xavier and Casso wasn’t fully in the car yet, his legs were still out, Xavier fired a clean shot to his leg and he knew even without seeing it that he didn’t miss. Matteo drove away. Then there was another shot. There was a man, up the stairs, one of Matteo Soldiers. It was headed for Blake who was right beside him, he immediately pushed Blake away, taking the shot to the side, this was probably a plan made by Matteo. He wasted no time and shot the man to the throat. The blood was already soaking his shirt. He had been shot. *************
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?
