William's POV I stared at the phone as it kept on ringing and when it finally stopped ringing, I took in a sharp breath. The phone started ringing again and it is still Amelia. I gripped my head in frustration. Should I just pick it up? Or not? I watched the phone ring off for the third time again and finally, a message followed. 'Are you asleep? Call me when you wake up' I read her message and I dropped the phone back on the table as I whimpered. I looked at the documents in front of me and I packed them all into the brown envelope in anger. I threw it into my traveling box and I went to bed. Should I tell Amelia about it? Or not? I thought about it for a long while and my eyes felt heavy. I can't tell her about it. That would be my final decision. We are finally happy. We are finally in love. I can't let this ruin it for me, no! I won't even risk it. I closed my eyes as I tried to force myself to sleep but the images from that damn video kept on playing in my head. I opened
Amelia's POV Our lower body is close to each other but I managed to move my upper body to the back a bit to see his whole face. "You look so handsome", I said calmly as I pushed the hair in front of his face to the side. I moved my gaze back to his face and he is looking at me with-- teary eyes? Did something really bad happen in Country A? "William, what's wrong?", I asked quickly in concern and he shook his head before smiling at me. "I just really miss you", he replied and I wasted no time in pushing myself forward and capturing his lips in mine. We kissed for a while and when William was about to deepen the kiss, I pulled away with a grin on my face. "Go and take your bath, you have to go to work", I said and he pouted. "One more time?", he pleaded with a sad pout and I laughed. He started making advances toward me again and when I was sure he was close enough, I held his arm and pulled him towards the door. I opened it before pushing him out into the hallway. "Bye Will
Amelia's POV I stared at the view in front of me and my mouth went agape. I am on the beach. William brought me to the beach. Full disclosure; I have never been to a beach before. Not even for once when I was young. I ran towards the water and it was settling already before going back to William. "We are at the beach", I stated the obvious. "Yes, do you not like the beach?", William asked and I grinned. "I do" I looked at the water again and when I was about to start walking towards it again, William held my hand. "We are not here to see the water, you can always see it next time during day time. It is much more thrilling than", William said and I frowned. "Don't tell me this is another one of your private business meetings 'cause guess what?!", I asked and William looked at me with a grin. "What?", he asked back and my frown deepened. "I am only in a round neck grey top and short trousers and I am very cold right now!", I shouted at William as I gestured at the clothes to h
Amelia's POV We ran around the beach after we finished eating our meal and when I got exhausted and tired of it, William concluded that we should leave for home. Now, we are walking up the stairs with our hands joined together. I can't get enough of William's love and affection toward me. "Good night, Amy", William said when we reached the door of my room and I looked at him. "Good night", I replied and he smiled at me. I stared at him and could not move my legs to go into my room. I stared into his eyes and I could only see two things in them-- desire and lust. "Amy, I-", William started and I hushed him by placing my index finger on his lips. "Just do it already", I replied with a smile and he did not waste time capturing my lips in his again. He kissed me deeply and roughly this time around but I still loved it. My hand move reflexively to the handle of the door and I opened it. William pushed me against the door immediately after we entered the room and the door closed a
William's POV Amelia walked into my office and soon stopped in front of my table. "Here, I finished the contract for Mr. Fernando. You can just review it and change some things in it", Amelia explained and I collected it from her with a sigh. "I can't believe I am going through with this though", I replied and she smirked. I got up from my seat and Amelia looked at me with dagger eyes. "You better check it out before tomorrow", Amelia said and I smirked. "Okay, mummy. I would review it right now", I said in a scared, childish voice and Amelia laughed. I picked up the brown envelope and walked towards the one-sitter couch in my office. Amelia walked behind me and she was in front of me in no time. I stared at how her butts shook as she walked and I gulped. I reached out to it and slapped it playfully with a grin on my face, Amelia gasped sharply before turning to look at me with a frown. "If you keep on gasping like that, my dear. I won't hold myself back any longer", I commen
William's POV I followed after Amelia quickly and she went straight down the stairs and into the car. "Amelia, please hear me out first", I said as I got into the car she turned to look at me sharply and I swallowed back my words. "Are we still going to the event or not?", Amelia asked calmly in her normal voice but I can see the traces of the tears on her cheeks anyways. I gulped as I closed the door to the car and Scott immediately took the hint to drive out of the compound. I looked at Amelia's hand as she still gripped that envelope tightly in her hand. I should be able to talk to her when we get to Country V, right? Cause she looks pissed at me right now. We finally got to the airport and Scott stopped the car. He pulled my luggage for me and Amelia pulled hers. Just the look on her face is enough to give Scott the hint that he should not ask to pull her luggage for her. We got our tickets and soon, our flight number was called. Amelia smiled at a young guy immediately aft
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
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
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.
