CHAPTER SEVENTY TWOIt was a Saturday and she decided to skip work, so she slept in, the scent of coffee had woken her up, Xavier had brought some coffee and she couldn't help but smile as she sat up."How are you feeling?""A little numb but okay""I would be going out to handle some business" he says and Amelia couldn't hide the disappointment, she wanted him to stay with her for the rest of the day but of course he was a busy man and the fact that he hadn't gone right before she woke up and had prepared her coffee on bed shows how changed he was now, she did like this new version of him and was hoping it would last forever... as long as it could."Shawn and Blake would be here, and please don't leave the house without informing them, that's if you could actually get past the gates without my men seeing you""No need to tell me how much of a prisoner I am" Amelia said with a smile"No baby, you are not a prisoner, you are the owner of this house too, but I just want to keep you safe
MEL's POVShe stared at the mirror in her bathroom, the rage filling her up, when had she become this strange person standing before her, when had the rich and powerful Mel fallen.Amelia made a sacrifice, she always repeated to herself, Amelia had gone in her place, she had sacrificed for her, then why did she feel this burning resentment and hate, she remembered the day she cried to Amelia for a solution and Amelia came up with one, they had always been best friends, they had always loved each other and Amelia was willing to destroy her own life, she was willing to sacrifice, all for her, all for the stupid love that she thought she had. her father had been right, Jacob was no good, when he had told her over and over again she had ignored him, what she felt for Jacob wasn't love, she later understood, it was an obessession, she placed an Imaginary person in her mind for so long and Jacob had been the perfect man to fill the space, she never looked deep into his flaws, she never once
(Amelia)Amelia had returned back to the room after Shawn had left, her heart pounding, she hated the fact that she would keep feeling this way, she wondered how close Xavier had actually been to Mr. James Jones, maybe not so close, then if Mel's father didn't know Xavier so closely, how would he put his daughter's saftey in his hands?Amelia felt so confused, it's like everything was catching up on her, what if Xavier knew more about Mel's father than she did?, Mel never talked so much about her mother, only that she died and Amelia never wasn't the pushy type, the incident had hurt Mel alot that even with the years gone by, Mel couldn't still talk about it without shedding so much tears, so Amelia had stayed away from that topic. That had been a mistake, one that might cost her alot, she couldn't go ask Mel about her mother now, they weren't even friends anymore and though it pained her to think of how strong friends had broken up this way, she was not stupid enough to think Mel was
It had been two days since the date she had with Xavier and she could only say one thing for sure, he had changed, she could see the way he looked at her, like she was his all and she was damned if she ever thought she would be able to tell him the truth, her chance had long past and if the truth was being told, she just didn't want to tell him anymore, she could no longer see a life without him, he evolved around her life and she just couldn't let go, not when they were this so close, not when she was living her dream life, the kind of life that some years ago, she could only think to be nothing but a dream, it was all real now and she couldn't lose it.It was another day to work, Xavier had woken her up with a kiss, he should have left by now, but he waited for her, giving her some time to rest, she knew he was already late, Xavier was indeed a busy man, so she rushed into her bathroom, taking a quick bathe, changing quickly into a simple black skirt and white longe sleved shirt, sh
(Xavier POV)Shawn had informed him that he would be going out with the 'girls', still yet he couldn't help but feel a little bit worried for her, now he was in his office that overlooked the main entrance, he stared every once in a while to see if they had return, but of course they just left a few minutes ago, he wondered why he was getting so over protective... well maybe because of the coma she had just survived from, and even before then, there was this need to always be where she was though he trusted Shawn to protect them and of course some of his men were lurky around the city and streets, any alarming news would immediately be sent to him, so all he needed to do was to relax and put his mind into what was before him. The thing was that he didn't like what was before him. It was Kelvin, the person Amelia had actually dated while being married to him, he had long forgiven her because it wasn't her fault, he had been the one to push her away, she wouldn't have gone off with anot
(Amelia)They hadn't gone straight home, Diana had told Shawn she wanted to pick somethings from her house first and so they had all gone to Diana's house. The house was not big or elegant like the one Amelia was now getting used to, but it was a nice cosy place that truly felt like home, Diana lived with her mother in the house, but her mother who still worked as a nurse was not always available, and she wasn't now. Amelia had actually hoped to finally see Diana's mother."You have a nice house babe" Shawn said to Diana, kissing her on the lips."Come on guys, don't make me feel weird" Amelia muttered"You want a kiss too?" Shawn asked with a smirk"No..." before she could complete her words, Shawn drew her in an gave her a kiss to the hair."Yuck.." Amelia pulled away"I know you like it wifey"Diana stood there laughing and Amelia gave her a glare. "What?" she asked, "Is not like you didn't ask for it""I didn't, I just didn't want you guys to go all kissy around me, like you have y
(Xavier)Still he couldn't hurt her.All the years, he had tried shielding his heart, he had kept everyone out, he only fucked girls, he never had any kind of relationship with them, because he feared this, but there was something about fears, they aways came true and he's just had, but it was hundred times worst than he ever expected, his heart felt like it had been reaped out from within, the pain, he had trusted her, finally he was ready to be the better person she deserved, but now he had learnt everything.That girl, had been Mel, short for Amelia, the girl he was to marry, this person he had fallen in love with was another Amelia who had taken her place. Amelia was his wife and so he could never believe what ever that girl had said about her, he could never believe even if he knew part of it was true, so he had asked her, if she had been the Amelia Jones he was to marry, he had asked her to confirm, that was all he needed to know and now he got it.He should have never loved, he
(Amelia)She sat in her room, tear dripping down her eyes, she always knew this would all come to bite her in the ass one day, but never did she think it would hurt this bad, there was just something in his eyes, there was just something about the look in his eyes, the hurt and the pain, she laid awake all night, but he never came back home, she wondered where he was and what he was doing, she couldn't sleep, she couldn't even think of any other thing.As soon as he had left she had gone straight to her room and Shawn had not tried holding her back this time, he let her, but now he was here and she really did needed someone to talk to, she felt so ashamed of herself yet afraid to let him in, what happens when he found out?, would he also hate her and push her away?He surely would be disappointed in her, but he never left, he stood there right infront of her door, waiting for her to let him in, so she stood and walked to the door, she let him in."I didn't mean to hurt him, I'm sorry,
