William's POV I put my phone down on the table before looking at Amelia. "How are you feeling?", I asked and she nodded positively. "Better", she replied before clearing her throat. "So, I guess it's a good thing mother called then", I replied and she nodded again before smiling. "I guess so" "I should go", Amelia said, standing up before straightening her skirt. "Oh, okay", I said, standing up as well. She chuckled weirdly before walking towards the door and I frowned as I watched her leave. I have to get that killer for Amelia. About an hour later, it was lunchtime and Amelia walked through the doors of my office yet again. She stood in front of me and I looked up at her. Her face is back to normal and I noticed that she has retouched her makeup a little. "You have a lunch meeting with Mr. Fernando from Country V", Amelia said in her normal cold but alluring voice, and I sighed before standing up. "Very well, you should go with me. You don't like eating in the company
SATURDAY AFTERNOON Amelia's POV We returned to the office silently and I took my seat back behind my desk. I turned on the computer and my mind wandered to what William said in the car. What could he possibly mean by me being special from the other workers? He even said he cares a lot more about me than the others. I looked at him through the glass window beside his door and my lips slanted a bit. I can't seem to understand what he meant. Should I have just asked him what he meant instead of looking away? ... It was finally closing hours and William walked out before I could even go inside his office to tell him. "Let's go home, Amelia", he said with a smile and I quickly looked around. "What if someone had heard you?", I said in a hushed tone and he smiled again. At least, the tension between the two of us is gone. "Come on", he said as he started walking away and I rushed after him. We took the private elevator to the underground garage. Scott was waiting there already
Amelia's POV I carried on with watching the movie and a few minutes later, something dropped on my shoulder. I looked at my shoulder just to see William's head there and his words followed "Let me stay like this for a while, I am really tired", he said and I gulped. It does not matter if his head is on my shoulder, right? It does not even mean anything! Right? I turned back to watch the movie but it was just playing in front of me, I could not make a thing out of it. I can feel the rapid beating of my heart in my throat. It feels like it is beating against the inner layer of my neck. I want to turn my head, just to look at him but I still don't want to. I turned my head slowly and when I saw his face, a sigh of relief escaped my lips. His eyelashes are short and perfect? And his nose is straight and high in the air, it has a pointed tip too. I looked down at his thin lips that is just beautifully closed now. His jaw is just so chiseled and it fits his characteristics perfectly.
Amelia's POV A few days later... William walked out of his office and stood in front of me. It is just an hour to closing hours, so I am surprised he came out of his office. "Are you going somewhere?", I asked as I stood up from my seat to show him the 'respect' that he deserves. "Yes", he said shortly and I nodded before I remembered the events from a few days ago. "Where are you going to?", I asked quickly and he smiled immediately. "Get ready, we are going out", he replied and I opened my mouth to say something but I was still confused. If I am going with him to a place, then why is he smiling? And there's no meeting on his schedule for this evening, I am quite confused. "Where are we going to?", I asked slowly and he just kept on smiling. "You will know when we get there, come on now", he said and I smiled awkwardly. I don't even think I can call it a smile. "Oh", I said and he nodded. "Let's go then", he said again before walking forward. I switched off the computer
William's POV We finished having lunch and Amelia turned on the television. I thought I should join her in watching it but when I saw what she is watching, I frown appeared on my face almost immediately. It is a kitchen channel. You know, the type where they teach you how to cook different things. Yep! It's that one. I groaned at her choice of channel and she did not even react like I was in the room. I got up from my seat on the couch and went to get a novel from the library instead. I had not sat down back in my seat when the doorbell rang. "Mary came back?", Amelia asked and I looked at her. "Nope", I replied boldly and knowingly. "Who is it then?", she asked when she realized I know who was at the door even before going to check. "Mia", I said as I stood up. The ringing did not stop anyways. "Mia? Your friend?", Amelia asked again and I smiled. "You have a good memory", I replied as I got to the door. I opened it and Mia's face appeared in front of me. I moved back a
William's POV "Are you done?", I asked when his laughter had died down a little. "Yeah, I guess so", he replied with a chuckle. "So, do you have anything to advise me with or not?", I asked with a frown. I am a little bit angry to be sincere, why do all of them just keep on laughing at me? Is asking a cold attitude girl out that easy? "Just ask her to date you, man. That's all", he said and I raised my voice a little. "Yeah and I just said I do not know how to go about that", I replied. "Just tell her how you feel, man. Just let it come from your heart, that's all. Be sincere with her and you would be fine. You can always plan a date or a small meal out of the house to say it to her", Leo said seriously this time. "Right", I replied as I thought about it. "That's exactly what I should do", I added and he nodded. "Yeah, you are just being scared for nothing", he replied and I looked at him. "Thanks, man. I truly appreciate it", I said truthfully and he smiled. "Anytime", he
Amelia's POV The doorbell rang as I climbed down the stairs and I headed toward it. Mia was here already. "Hey", she said cheerily as she pulled me into a hug. "How have you been?", she asked when I left her arm. "Fine, you?", I asked back "Good", she replied with a smile and I chuckled. "You are here", William's voice sounded from behind me and I turned to look at him. He is in a white shirt and black suit trousers. His first two buttons are undone. He would go to the company in the morning and be back to pick me up in the afternoon. The wedding party is in the afternoons anyways. "Yep, I promised you and Amelia I would be here today, did I not?", she asked and William sighed. "Thanks once again", he replied smiling widely. "Come on, stop that", she replied and William chuckled. "So, we should go then", Mia said and I quickly pulled back. "I should go and get my phone", I said as I went towards the stairs quickly. I came back in about two minutes later with a small blu
Amelia's POV We went back to the cashier and I finally punched in those numbers. Mia jumped up happily as she looked at the receipt. "We are spending William's money", she sang in a high-pitched voice as we walked out of the shop and I laughed. Gosh. Embarrassing. We went to the shoes and bags shop next and I got the two of them in silver color. "Ooh, perfect timing, Mia", Mia said as we ate our fries. "Time to go to the spa", Mia said happily. She pulled me with her and we took the escalator upstairs. We finally arrived at the spa and as we walked in, my eyes went wide again. It is so big here and there are different doors everywhere. We went to the receptionist there and the receptionist checked for our reservation. She soon found it and she escorted us to one of the rooms. An hour later, I walked out feeling all refreshed. It was the best massaging experience ever. I feel so good. "How are you?", Mia asked with a grin and I smiled. "Good", I replied truthfully and she
EPILOGUE TWO YEARS LATER... Amelia's POV I sat on the bed as I went through my phone and William walked out of the bathroom. It's been one and a half years since we got married and I started sleeping in William's room as well since the time we got married. William came over to me before kissing me on the lips. "You are awake", he said and I hummed. "You are ready for work as well", I stated and he smiled. "Almost", he replied before walking into the closet. He came back outside in his already neatly tailored suit and walked to my side. "How are you doing?", William said to the bump that is high in front of me. "Make sure to treat mummy well", he said again and I felt a kick in my stomach. "He has heard you, William", I told him as I gave him a small smile. "Alright, take care of yourself", William told me before kissing my lips again. "I hope you know that I have not brushed my teeth", I told him with a grin and he pecked me again. "I don't care", he replied with a grin
Amelia's POV "Why are we here anyways?", Mia asked as she sipped her juice. "Why? Can I not call you guys over without having anything in mind?", William asked as he wrapped his arm around my waist. I slapped his arm off immediately and he quickly removed it. He looked at me and I glared back at him. I won't forgive him for saying something so embarrassing in front of Mia and Leo that easily. "No, you can't" "No, you can't", Mia and Leo said in unison and they did a high-five. I just chuckled at it. "Since you guys want me to bring it forward then", William said with a helpless sigh before going on his right knee in front of me. "What are you doing?", I asked with wide eyes as I looked at William in front of me. "I don't have the best proposal lines and I don't know the catchy ones", William said with a chuckle, and my eyes watered. Is he trying to propose right now? "I know we have gone through a lot together, Amelia. So many deaths, so many arguments", he continued and he
Amelia's POV I thought of the events of the previous day and I sighed. I still can't believe all that happened in one day. I walked into the bathroom and dipped my body into the bathtub. I finally got out of the bathroom and I wore a grey hoodie and blue joggers. "Come on, you should eat", William said to me immediately after I arrived in the dining room and I walked towards him. "Mary cooked some pasta before she left this morning", William said and I nodded as I took my seat at my usual chair in the dining room. "Are you sure you are okay or do you need to go to the hospital?", William asked again and I smiled. "I am fine", I replied and he nodded. "Eat then", he said and I picked up my fork. I took a bite of my food and I felt William's gaze on me. I looked up at him and he is smiling at me. "What?" "I am never going to lose you again. I promise", William replied and I smiled. "You should eat as well, you know", I said to him and he finally picked up his fork. "Are you
William's POV I walked into Amelia's room and it is all dark. I finally had her in my arms but it was only for a short while. 'They' had taken her away again. My phone suddenly rang and I brought it out of my pocket to see Scott's name on my screen. "Have you found the place?", I asked immediately. "Yes boss", he replied and I cut off the call with a sigh. I am going to get her back this time around. I won't let anything stop me this time around. I walked further into the room and I saw a piece of paper on the bedside table. My black card and the expensive watch I had first gifted to Amelia are on top of the piece of paper. I removed the two away and picked up the note before turning it over. 'Thank you for everything you've done for me, William. I appreciate it. I guess it's goodbye though (chuckles). -Love, Amelia.' I read the note over and over again, it is ever so short. I squeezed it in my hand and threw it on the floor before going to her bed. Her scent is still li
Amelia's POV "Your father came to me on his knees as he begged me to borrow him some money to finance his business. He was going to go bankrupt", he started saying each word strongly as he walked to and fro in front of me. "I borrowed him the money even though it was a huge sum and that's because I am a very kind man", he said I wanted to spit into his face but I just brought my head down instead. "The day your father was supposed to return my money came and passed but he still did not pay. I talked to him in a very nice way and he promised to pay me the next week", he continued before suddenly crouching down to my level. "By talking to him, I mean I beat him up until he was a pulp, you know that right?", he asked and I raised my head before smiling at him. "Of course", I replied and he grinned. "I like you, you are so dumb", he stated "We can't say, I might not kill you after all", he added with a meaningful grin and I knew that I would rather choose to die instead. "The sto
William's POV "Please get in, boss", Scott said to me and I looked up at him in grief. I pulled Amelia's traveling box and placed it inside the back seat before getting into the passenger seat again. "Gold casino", I said sternly and Scott drove away quickly. We arrived at the casino in no time and people were still flocking inside to gamble "Where is my father?", I asked immediately after I saw my father's assistant. "Sir", the assistant greeted first with a bow. "Where the fuck is my father?!", I shouted and he gulped. I guess he finally realized that I am in a bit of a rush and I am not here for some greetings. He escorted me to a room at the back of the casinos where one could no longer hear the noise from the casino. I opened the door and it turns out to be an office. Father is sitting on his chair but he has his back turned to the door. "William, you are here", he said slowly before finally turning in his seat and facing me. I looked at him and he has a burning cigare
William's POV I quickly packed my clothes into my luggage and made my way out of the hotel. I checked out of the hotel and took a cab to the airport. I joined the queue where one would get tickets back to Country D. "Hi", I said when it finally reached my turn. "Hi, what ticket would you like to get?", she asked and I sighed as I closed my eyes first to breathe properly. "Please, did a certain Amelia Pritchett come to buy tickets here?", I asked and she went through her recording book. "That's right sir. She left on the plane a few minutes ago", the young lady replied and I breathed in sharply. "When is the next flight to country D?", I asked impatiently. "In the next 45 minutes sir", she replied calmly. "I need to get on that plane", I replied and she furrowed her brows. "I am sorry Sir but the number of people for that flight has been recorded", she replied and I brought out my CEO card and hit on the table. "You don't want me talking about how you treated me badly when I
Amelia's POV "Hi", I heard Joanna's voice from behind me and I sniffed as I looked all around this dusty room. "Hi", I heard William's low but very deep voice from behind me as well and I fought the tears as they threatened to fall again. "I am going to leave you two", Joanna said and I quickly blinked away the tears. "Thanks", was all William reply with before Joanna's clicking heels sound followed. The room became really quiet after that and I heard William's footsteps coming toward me. "Hi", he said to me as he stood in front of me, not taking his seat and I gulped. "I saw you walk into this room with Joanna", he said again and I looked up at him. "What do you have to say, William?", I asked sharply. "We need to talk", William said and I looked up at him. "Is that not what we are doing right now?", I replied coldly and he just stared at me. "I am very sorry for what I did, Amelia. I should not have kept it away from you and I am now realizing my mistake. Please, can yo
William's POV It's the event day and Amelia is sitting in front of the vanity mirror as she combed her hair. I sighed before going into the bathroom. I wore my suit and Amelia is still in front of the vanity mirror, just staring at herself. Neither of us has spoken a word to each other today. I looked at the blue dress Amelia is putting on and I smiled bitterly. I thought of how we had decided and ordered that particular dress after we had disagreed on tons of clothes. It was always about me saying the dress she picked is too short and showy or Amelia saying the dress I picked is too big and long. We finally agreed on this royal blue dress that reaches her knee but has hands with no sleeves. I had complained about the v-shaped neck of the cloth but when Amelia had glared at me at that moment, I had shut my mouth. Looking at her, dressed in it now is captivating. The top part of the gown is firm and it just fits her perfectly the way the gown flows freely from the waist to her k
