My sleep was interrupted by a loud bang on my door.

"Amelia! Come out now." My step mother's voice boomed from the corridor.

"What does she want?" I grumbled as I sat up slowly. I wonder what the commotion is about.

Walking sluggishly towards the door, I manage to keep myself from falling because of sleep.

I opened the door and peeped out of my room.

"Find something to wear, we have to take your dad to the hospital."

"What's wrong with dad?" I asked wide eyed. The sleep had eluded me totally. I went to my dad's room to see him clutching his chest, his face contorted in agony.

"Dad, what's wrong?" I shrieked, fright written all over my face.

"Can't breathe..." He gasped, his voice was barely audible.

My eyes widened in terror, seeing my dad in such a condition.

"Mom please call 911!"

"On it!" She responded.

I heard her talking to the operator on what to do. She followed the instructions carefully as we waited for the ambulance to arrive. Not knowing what to do, I held his hands firmly,

    "I'll do as you have said," he said, leaning back in his chair and his face darkened a bit, "but on one condition." He added.As long as I don't have to set myself on fire.“Alright. I am willing to do anything to fix this mess and have my life back," I said, not masking my desperation at all earning a smile from him."Good. I need you to spend the evening here." He said, getting up from his seat.Wait. Did I just hear him correctly? Spend the evening here. For what?I was still in my thoughts when he walked up to me and ran a hand through my hair, making me shift uncomfortably.“I don't understand sir. W..Why do I need to spend the night here?" I asked, my voice a bit waverly."With me. Let's just say, doing a little extra work.

    I can't believe my ears! Liam is saying he wants to offer me a job? Is this some type of trick?“S.. Sorry?” I stuttered in shock."I'm sure you heard me right. I'm offering you a job as my personal assistant." Liam emphasized with a slight tone of irritation.“Really?”"Don't think of it as too low, you know many people have climbed up the ladder from little beginnings." His sex mate Hela quickly said even before Liam could say anything.I know she is just being overly nice to cover up her tracks from her boyfriend. I know she's waiting for the perfect opportunity to deal with me."No, that wasn't what I was thinking. I was just surprised." I said immediately.I don't know what is happening between these three folks but it's sure working in my favor. I don't really expect Liam to be so nice to me. Or this could just be the perfect opportunity he is waiting for to make my life miserable but as long as the money is rolling in, I'll rather have this.I hate to say it but I am really des

    LIAMI am in my office, sorting some paperwork when my secretary informs me of Hela's presence.This girl really doesn't know that her only place is in my bed and that's even when I want it. She thinks she can just waltz in and out at her disposal."Send her in." I instructed and in no time, she was standing in front of me.That summer body is just what I need on a busy day like this. Anyway, back to business."I didn't call for you." I said coldly, peeping up from my desk."I know, I wanted to see you." She replied as she took her seat in front of me."What is it? This is a work day." I frowned slightly."That Amelia girl, I don't trust her since she knows about us,” she said, her face wrapped in concern."So?" I raised a brow.Her eyes widened. "You don't care if your friend finds out?""Why should I?" My response left her almost speechless.I focused on the paper in front of me, scribbling into it absentmindedly."B..Because it would ruin things. I don't want to hurt Felix," she s

    LIAM“Throw him in the street,” I ordered my men concerning the man who Amelia almost took his head off with a slap.I would say it was satisfying to watch but I do get bored quickly. Glancing at my wristwatch. I no longer wish to be in this desolate place."Let's get out of here." I said to Amelia, whose face is expressionless. Her hand is still red from the impact of the slap."Okay, where?"A mischievous grin formed on my face as an idea came to my mind."Let's go, no questions." I said and left the place with her following me at the back like a little sheep….As we walked into the exquisite clothing store, Tudors clothing, I couldn't help but notice Amelia gaping at the opulent interior decor of the store. The place has always been my go-to place for shopping because of their unique and uncommon designs, which match my classy taste."Wow," I heard her say.I chuckled to myself. Of course, she'd be impressed by the place. It's not even close to the other ones I visit on a monthly b

    LIAMThe party is typical of Greg, loud, lavish and full of ladies, endowed in the right places. Greg is one of my party buddies, the type of person to throw a party for no reason other than just having more money than common sense.I walked in with Amelia by my side. Felix and Hela had long gone to be by themselves. From my side eyes I could see Amelia scanning the room, looking quite out of place and utterly surprised by the lavish display of wealth and that just bought a soft smile on my face.Bringing her here is a stylish way of me to keep reminding her she doesn't belong in my class and that clapping me was the worst mistake she ever made in her life because she can never have someone like me show her any time of interest whatsoever but I did and instead of thanking me she repaid me with a slap?!As we made our way through loads of partying people, Greg spotted me and walked up to us in his usual high spirits manner. His eyes lit up with joy, as if he was happy to see me."Hey b

    AmeliaThe interior of the house feels like a movie. Everything is so perfectly put in place. Every inch of the large hallway screamed wealth, from the gleaming marble floor to the crystal chandelier hanging overhead, casting a warm ambience over everything.The ceilings were impossibly high, giving the space an intimidating grandeur.We headed to the art gallery where magnificent frames hung on the walls. The place was cozy for such an extravagant mansion. On one side, there was a glass wall which gave a breathtaking view of a garden outside. We were now away from the party and finally I felt relaxed and comfortable."Wow, this place is so beautiful. I could stare at this view all day." I said with a genuine smile."Thanks, it's my dad's idea of a simple house." He said casually.I wanted to say there's nothing simple about this but I don't want to give myself away as a pauper, though my look already indicates that. I think it's about time I upgrade my wardrobe if I'm going to contin

    .Felix opened the car door and I stepped in. The soft hum of the engine filled the silence as Felix drove through the boulevard. I sat curled up in the passenger seat, staring out of the window at nothing in particular. My arms were wrapped tightly around me, as if I was protecting myself.As the assault replayed in my head, I wrapped my arms more tightly and shook my head vigorously as if that would clear the ugly memory away. When I could take it in no more, I broke into a sob.Felix, seeing that I was shaken, parked the car. After crying for a few minutes, he hands me a soft linen handkerchief which I use to wipe my snotty face. When I'm satisfied with my tears, I look out the window to avoid his pitiful gaze. I appreciate his concern but I don't need pity right now. Especially seeing as all these things are Liam's fault in a way. And he's Liam's friend."Amelia," he said softly. "It's okay, you're safe now." He paused, not wanting to push too hard."I don't know what I'm even doi

    I stepped into the luxurious spa, Liam by my side. Yesterday's events still lingered in my mind, but he seemed oblivious.He had barely spoken a word about the party, about Greg, or anything that transpired. No apology, no acknowledgment. Nothing. Instead, this morning, he had casually instructed me to follow him to the spa, like everything was perfectly normal. I, on my part, have put the ugly incident behind me, I don't need any more drama around me.I trailed behind him, juggling his things and trying to keep up with his stride. We had barely stepped through the door when he turned sharply toward me, his eyes cold and impatient. “Did you confirm my appointment for 3:00, or do I need to remind you again how things work around here?” His voice dripped with disdain, his gaze slicing through me like I was an inconvenience to his perfectly scheduled life.“Yes, I have done that.” I replied, rechecking again.“Well, someone's being diligent.” He scoffed.I forced a polite nod. “I'll be a

Tristan stepped out of the car, looking every bit the charming prince in his casual yet stylish outfit. He flashed me a bright smile as he approached me, and I felt a flutter in my chest despite myself.My father, stepmom, and siblings watched us with suspicious eyes as Tristan hugged me and handed me a beautiful flower. "You look stunning, Amelia," he said, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "This simple gown really brings out your beauty."I blushed and thanked him, feeling a little self-conscious under the scrutiny of my family.

    Amelia's POV Felix's eyes widened in incredulity as he stared at me. "After all he did to you, the hurt he made you pass through, you went and fell in love with him. How is this possible?" he asked, his voice laced with a mix of shock, disappointment, and emotional pain.I shook my head, feeling a sense of helplessness. "I don't know. I don't know how I fell in love with him. It just happened," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper.Felix's expression turned stern, his eyes blazing with a fierce intensity. "Then you have to undo it. You have to fall out of love with him. You will only end up getting hurt. You've seen what he's capable of doing. He doesn't care for anyone else except himself," he warned, his words dripping with conviction.I felt a pang of doubt, but a spark of hope still lingered within me. "What if he's changed?" I asked, my voice tentative.Felix's eyes widened in alarm, and he looked at me like I had lost my mind. "Change? Don't be a fool, Amelia. Liam can n

    Amelia's POV As I walked away from Liam's place, I couldn't shake off the feeling that lingered inside me. It was strange, because just yesterday, I thought I disliked him the most. But seeing him in that terrible state, with his wounds and his regretful eyes, had somehow changed everything. The way he spoke from his heart, with such sincerity and vulnerability, had touched me in a way I never thought possible.My heartbeat was dancing to a new tune, one that I had never felt before. I felt a pang of disappointment when I had to leave his side, but I knew I couldn't stay. He was my boss, after all, and he had given me the day off.As I walked, I realized I didn't want to go back home. I needed a distraction, something to take my mind off Liam and the confusing feelings that were swirling inside me. So, I decided to visit Felix at his home, to check up on him and see how he was doing.When I arrived, Felix welcomed me with a warm smile. "I wasn't sure if you'd come back here after...

    I felt a surge of defensiveness, my voice rising in confusion. "What do you mean I'm the reason? Are you accusing me of being responsible for your condition?" I asked, my eyes narrowing slightly.Liam's expression softened, and he shook his head. "I'm not accusing you, Amelia. I'm thanking you," he said, his voice filled with sincerity.I was taken aback, my confusion deepening. "What are you talking about?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Liam's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze intense. "You opened my eyes, Amelia. You made me see how selfish I've been, even to people who loved and cared for me. Or is this not what you meant when you said I should consider how other people feel?" he asked, his voice filled with a hint of vulnerability.I was left speechless, my mind reeling from Liam's words. I had never expected him to listen to me, let alone take my words to heart.Finding my voice, I spoke up, my tone gentle. "I never really expected you to listen to me. And I definitely

I drew him closer to my body, trying to console him as he wept.Felix's body shook with sobs, and I held him tightly, trying to absorb some of his pain. "Well, you were bound to find out sooner or later," I said softly, trying to offer some comfort.Felix raised his head, his eyes red and puffy, and looked at me with a mixture of shock and hurt. "Wait, you knew about them?" he asked, his voice trembling.I felt a pang of guilt and nodded slowly. "Yes, I'm sorry."Felix's expression turned hurt, and he pulled away from me slightly. "Why didn't you tell me anything?" he asked, his voice laced with pain.I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of regret wash over me. "I'm sorry, Felix. I didn't know how to break it to you, and I didn't think you would believe me over your best friend and girlfriend. And to be honest, I was too scared to act.

Their faces twisted into scowls, and their voices dripped with venom."You still have the nerve to bring a man home, after everything we've told your father about you?" my stepmom spat, her eyes blazing with malice.My stepsister chimed in, her voice shrill with excitement. "Yes, you're so shameless! We've told dad about all your little escapades, and yet you still have the audacity to parade your patronizer in front of us!"I rolled my eyes, a calm smile spreading across my face. "You think you can frustrate me with your scheming and lying? You're just wasting your time. As long as I'm not doing what you're accusing me of, I'm fine. And soon enough, my father will know the truth – and he'll know who's been lying to him all along."My stepmom's face turned red with rage, and she took a step closer to me, her voice dropping to a menacing whisper.
