“I don’t want to share a bed with you” Amelia said feigning disgust, actually she was afraid that she would let herself hope again, in something that wasn’t there, something that wasn’t true.“You mustn’t sleep on the bed, there’s enough space on the floor and the couch”“What the hell is your problem, why are you so bipolar”“Well that’s because my own wife can’t keep her legs shut”“Kelvin is only a friend and why the hell am I explaining myself to you, you don’t deserve my explanation – any form of explanation on that matter”“You talk too much, perhaps that’s why you’re smallish”“And what would you do about it?” Amelia said ready for a word battle, the fact that he was all calm and cool irked her to no end.“Silence is golden but duct tape is silver, don’t test my patience Amelia, because is getting to short”“I hate you”“Felling is mutual”“Why are you still keeping me, even if you know we can never work out, why hold me bondage?” Xavier smirked, pulling off his t-shirt and exp
A loud sound woke her up, there was darkness all around but she was sure of it, it wasn’t a dream she was sure of what she heard.It was a gun shot.Amelia rolled off the bed, she hadn’t realized when she had fallen asleep, she remembered promising herself to stay awake.“Xavier” she called out, her voice filled with fear, surely he could have heard a noise so loud. “Xavier” she called again as she tapped at the space in his bed where he was supposed to be only to find it completely empty. The dread kicked in.She walked around the room, blindly trying to find where the switch to the lights were, only to come out empty, this wasn’t her room and she hadn’t taken time to study the place when she got in.The sound came again, this time it wasn’t even one gunshot, they were multiple shots, fear consumed her, her legs shook as she walked around in the darkness, feeling tears slip down her eyes.What the hell was happening in the house?Many thoughts crossed her mind, maybe there were kidn
She stood in front of her bathroom mirror, staring at her neck, there was a little puncture and she wondered how she got the injury… it looked recent. Choosing to ignore it because that was the weirdest thing that had happened to her. She took her bathe.Shawn drove her to work.*“Amelia, you know that I’m always here for you, Right?”“Where were you when Xavier was carrying me away like a…”“A street dog, you really wouldn’t let that incident pass?, even for a minute?”“No”“Okay what are the things you love doing – except fashion designing?” Shawn asked“What are the things you like doing except breaking all your promises?” “Well I love watching films, playing video games, torturing people…. I once loved reading romance novels, but it’s all too fake”“What do you mean by fake” Amelia asked absentmindedly, he had managed to drift away from the main topic just like that.“Like all the scenes, they are always too perfect, makes you feel like it could ever be like that one day, but it
"So where you planning on ignoring me all day?"It was Kelvin, who was right behind her, how could she not have noticed."I wasn't ignoring you""We need to talk" he said.Finally the moment had arrived, the moment she had prepared for, for but all she had practiced was slipping away from her memory."Let's talk outside""No. You have to tell me what the hell is going on between you and the boss, Mr. Xavier""He's my ex boyfriend"What?""Yeah, he is possessive and all, I just don't understand why he wouldn't get out of my life already, he still believes there's something between us... But there's nothing""If there is nothing going on between you guys then why were you at his house and don't give me that crap that Shawn is your classmate, or you were busy with office work, office work ends in the office"And Amelia did the stupidest thing possible, she stood on her tip toe and tried kissing him, she moved too fast and only ended up smashing her face against his lips.She had told Dia
He watched her as she walked into his office looking nervous.It was strange, he had called for her to see how she was doing, he had given her an overdose last night, so she could forget all she had heard. He was this kind of person that hardly regretted anything he did, but now he did regret, when she wasn’t waking up as hours went by he only got more anxious, he had done that to protect her- that’s what he said to himself, but it was only partly true. ‘Ignorance was Bliss, it was best if she didn’t know that they were people searching for her, that her name has become popular in the dark underground movements, if she knew that she was the reason they were attacked last night, he couldn’t imagine how she would take it, she was too soft, not yet hardened with the reality of life, she only knew a life of bright skies.But that wasn’t the only reason he did that, he was selfish, he wanted her greedily for himself, like how a kid could get obsessed over a pretty doll. He didn’t want her
Amelia was a gem but yet fragile as glass, he could easily break her, she wasn't used to living his own kind of life, his life was not for people like Amelia, she would always be an easy target and the fact that his feelings for her were getting more pronounced was something that worried him, he actually wished he could feel for her less. She could be his downfall and she didn't even know it, but he promised himself to never let it all reach that point."For your designs, well I approve them"Xavier didn't understand why he did anything to see that bright smile on her face.She beamed "seriously?, I'll create my own designs?""Of course""Thank you very much, you don't know what this means to me, this had been my dream"He was happy to see her happy, he wished it could be like this, always. But life wasn't all candies, soon he would have to return back to his world where the sky were always grey and blood stained the floors, his world were women were raped and sold, his world where he
CHAPTER THIRTY ONEHe had been nice. She never thought she would ever see this humanly part of him. A bright smile was on her face, but it immediately fell when she walked in to the room she shared with him. He sat on the bed staring at nothing, his eyes were coal black, the little emotion she saw in his eyes just a few hours ago were gone.“Is there anything wrong Xavier”Finally he looked up at her, watching her. “You look so innocent but of course looks could deceive”That hurt bad. He was bipolar indeed.“I don’t understand…”“You don’t know what you did wrong?”, He laughed, it was a bitter laugh, “Adding to that you are a very good liar too- but the thing is that I hate liars”“What did I ever do to you Xavier, why do you hate me so much?, we were just fine a few moments ago”“I hate deceivers so don’t take it personally”“I never deceived you”, He laughed again.“Then what was this special kiss you shared with Kelvin just some time ago?” he asked, walking to her, his steps were
CHAPTER THIRTY TWOHe had wanted to hurt her so bad, he wanted her to feel just a little of how he felt, he never realized how wrongly he had judged her and now he felt like the biggest fool of the century. He knew an apology was not enough, but if it wasn't then what was?He didn't know what to say or do, he had never been so confused in his life, yet he was amazed that she could give him something so valuable, just to prove her point to him, just to show him that he had been wrong about her, she had gone through the shame and disgrace just to prove herself and he envied her bravery, she could have walked away, let him think what he wanted of her, she would have stopped midway, but she went through it. Never had a girl made him confused and at the same time worried. Shawn only made it worse. Shawn was hardly angry, he never showed his anger and Xavier didn't even know that there was this part of him until now."Can't you see what you are doing to her, she's your wife for fuck's sake
