It rang only once before Luke answered the call."Amelia, is that you?" The man on the other line called out in surprise and Xavier couldn't help but feel the pang in his chest. if only he was enough for her, if only she knew that he was willing to do just anything for her to wake, Even if it meant this."It's Xavier. Amelia's husband"The line went silent for a while. "Amelia's husband?, Mel is the one married and all of a sudden Amelia disappears, where the hell is Amelia and what have you done to her..."She hadn't told anyone, he realised. He shouldn't have called, so he cut the call back retreating to the room he once shared with Amelia. Her scent was faint... almost non existent.He had caused all this, she never wanted to marry him, if he would have just let her go, let her grieve her father... maybe this wouldn't have happened.Mel. He wondered who Mel was, Amelia never once talked about her, maybe because she didn't want to endanger any of them, but he wished she did, he wish
Xavier sat in his bar, waiting for Blake who had managed to catch one of Matteo's men snooping around in the club.He tried taking is mind off her, even if it was for a few minutes, thinking of all the things he could do to the spy when Blake arrived instead.But then a lady walks up to him, he was getting irritated with this all, he was tired of telling them over and over again that he wasn't interested, looking up to tell her to repeat what he had told the others who approached him, he noticed that he did recognised her face, how could he not, she gave good sex, she had been his best for years till Amelia, but seeing her only made him feel more angry, he had cheated on Amelia with her, with Amelia in the same house.He recalled her name, Trisha."What do you want?""I think we should talk""There is nothing to talk about, what ever went on between us is over, i'm married, I have a wife now" he said in a bored tone."I heard she's in coma now..."His jaw tightened, he hated that sh
(AMELIA's POV)It's like memories flashing past her eyes, in the void of emptiness, it's all she could hold on to, those few good memories she never knew she still had, memories of two good friend, it had been her and Mel against the world, they loved each other and she couldn't help but wonder what changed, how two best friends could become closer to worst enemies. She missed those days, those days when she was allowed to wear her regular clothes and visit Granny Fashion, the days she was surrounded by friends, good friend, those days she would laugh with Mel and Luke she could be her real self, not trying to hide her own past. Still yet she had no regrets for the decision she had made, even if it had been a tough road, she would do just anything to have him to herself, Shawn also had been more than a brother to her and Blake had kept her company a few times, he had actually spoken to her once in the hospital and it was so sad that when he finally did speak, she could give no respon
It was over, she hadn't been able to tell him the truth, this had been her last chance, now it was all over, she was going to live a lie. Her whole life would be a lie and she might never be able to tell him her biggest secret. The thought alone caused a shudder down her spine, All his life he hated deceivers, he had closed up his heart, afraid that it would be broken and she just couldn't be the one to cause him all that pain over again. It was like life was making a mockery of her. Day and night she had hoped to hear such words from him, but she never did and finally he said it all, his words were filled with so much emotion that they had piereced right into her heart, she wanted to hear it over and over again, but his words had also weakened her, she had finally made up her mind that she would be telling him the truth and she couldn't help but feel disappointed in herself. How could she tell him that she was no better than Debby he fell in love with, that she too had decieved him a
Amelia arrived at work after two weeks of resting, Xavier had insisted that she rest, afterall she had just came back from the hospital and he was ready to do anything to keep her in he house, Amelia knew that there was no way around it, even if she felt totally fine, the injuries were almost completely healed, but of course Xavier had grown to become far more over protective than he once was and that wasn't a very bad thing, except the cases that he followed her around everywhere she went.She couldn't deny that she missed work and even her colleagues, many of them she was yet to even know wel. As she walked by there were whispers and it felt like highschool again, she was happy to be back and she came just in time to watch the model showcase, actually one of the models would be wearing her designs and she couldn't feel more proud, she had put in her sweat in that design and she couldn't wait to see how it looked.~The showcase would be starting in the next thirty minutes, but somet
(Xavier POV)He felt like killing Shawn right now, he had been burning out for two weeks now, he didn't want to hurt her, she just recovered but seeing her on the stage, damn, she was hot as hell he had never seen her look so confident and bold, her steps were calculated, sexy and beautiful, even Pabulo could agreee with that, she would be the face on the yearly magazine read by billions and he had nothing to hide, he had thought once that hiding her away would bring less harm, he had learnt the hard way that in some ways the news would spread and all he would succeed in doing was only making her sad and less confident of herself, he made her feel like he wasn't proud of her and that had to end, Amelia was strong and brave, she wasn't like he had wrongly judged her, she was so much more, she could cope with anything she was given.Seeing her there on stage was the most sexy thing he had ever seen and he wanted every inch of her, he was ready to take her there and then and he knew desp
Amelia sat on the bed when the door opened and he walked in, his eyes were darked with lust as soon as he took her in, she had outdone herself this time, she was just in a robe, nothing beneath it, her skin lotioned and she sat seductively with her legs crossing over and a good amount of skin left exposed."You would surely be the death of me Amelia" he whispered as he walks straight for her."How was work""Please don't ask me about that now, you know that you are tormenting me"she smirked, "No need for the rush, I'm all yours tonight""And every night, till we grow old..."He came closer, but she stood, pushing him to the bed, he looks surprise but he also looks like he was enjoying himself and she took off her robe, slowly, making sure to look the sexiest she had ever looked, she was going to make him know that only she could satisfy him but of course, she knew it was a matter if time, he would grow impatient and would have his way.She walked to him nude, tugging at the belt of h
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
