Amelia's point of View:"So you have no idea who those men were?" My Dad asked me for the second time.rolling my eyes, I picked up the chicken, the wedding was finally over, but some people still stayed having meetings.Even Lucie and his father had to leave, which Lucie didn't want to do."I know their Gang, not them, The white Cross ain't good people Dad and you asking this, you have no idea who they are," I mumbled."I need to know what Ace did or said to Angel's father to let him allow them to get married this way," I said.it felt too easy to me like this marriage was just a simple one.I know how Angel's father behaves like, so it felt like a set-up.one the white Cross gang isn't a New York gang, their leader stays in Mexico, which means they were sent here."Ace told me it was Angel's doing, maybe she cried to her Dad about it, you have noticed she doesn't even talk to anyone except him" Dad mumbled with a sigh."You think little spoiled princess talked her Dad into this?" I
Amelia point of View:A breath left my lips when I was done with my little decoration with the first man.his lifeless eyes looked at mine, no movement."YOU ARE CRAZY!" The other Guy yelled at me from across the room."Me?" I asked with a titled head.I did tell them, just answer and I'll let them go, but they didn't want to."I told you, just tell me all I need to know and I'll let you go with your friend's Body." I said softly, giving him a smile."I don't know anything, someone just told us to come kill Ace and his wife Angel, we really don't know" He said before letting out a sob.shaking my head, I looked at Han.who stared at me with wide eyes, guess he didn't expect me to kill him.I do hate killing but if I get pissed I lose control."So no one sent you? or you don't know the person that sent you?" I asked him."Please, I have told you all I know!" he begged to which I shook my head at."I just need to know a name, of the person or maybe a description of what they look like,
Amelia's point of View:"Amelia, your husband is here!" Father announced while walking passed my room.a groan left my lips before using my bedsheets to cover my face."why didn't you come back home? do you have any idea how worried I was?" I heard Lucie say and asked."I can't come over to see my Dad?" I asked.I didn't want back because I missed here, I missed my Dad.for some reason I feel like that kind of ameila, always feeling sad for no reason.or maybe it's cause I killed those men? maybe that's why I feel This way."Can I ask what happened at the wedding yesterday?" Lucie asked me then sat next to me.a sigh left my lips before sitting straight."just some unwanted quests around that's all, I took care of them," I said but mumbled the last part so he wouldn't Hear.but from his head tilted sideways, I knew he heard it but didn't ask anything."Can you come back home now?" the house is really quiet without you love" He mumbled while staring at me."For just a day, and it's alr
Amelia's Point of View :"One, two, Three, Come on Girls I need good poses" Lucie's mother yelled.making me sigh, this is the 11th time and I am so tired, that I can't even feel my feet."Is everything ok Amelia?" Verena asked me.Shaking my head, I gave her a smile before standing up straight.After eyeing me for a while, she walked towards the other girls."Hard huh?" I heard someone ask making my head lift.only to see a boy with brown eyes and Dark brown hair, his full lips and beautiful jawline made my mouth drop slightly."Nah just never tried this before!" I replied softly before smiling at him..."My name is Adonis what about you?" He asked softly with his charming smile.'You are married, Amelia!' My mind said but I shut it out."Amelia, we both have A's in our names!" I said with a giggle making him chuckle.'Lord please help me! Giggling? why the heck are you giggling!" My mind yelled again."I could teach you if you want, maybe some private lesson would be fine!" He sugge
Amelia's Point of View : "Where have you?" was the first question Lucie asked the moment I walked in. "today was my model try out, why are you asking?" I asked with a frown. "I know that but your model try out ended hours ago so where have you been Amelia!" he asked again, this time taking off his coat. "why do you freaking care Lucie? I went for my model try out that's all that matters, where I went to was non of your business!" I replied with a sigh. then walked towards the door. only to be pulled back. "are you cheating on me Amelia?" Lucie asked slowly. the look in his eyes looked so different. he looked scared, nervous. "No! why would you say that?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. only to let out a chuckle when I remembered what happened today. "your mother told you didn't she?" I asked him. taking his arms off me, he took a step back then let's clear his throat. "Doesn't Matter, I just wanted to know where you went, you can go get cleaned up, we have somewhere to be
Amelia's povThe meeting ends and I head to my modeling classes prepared to confront Verena on her misdeed .On getting in, I bump into Adonis which is quite awkward since we don't talk. He shyly says"hi",but before I can respond Verena walks in spies us with an "I knew it" expression on her face.I immediately start stomping towards her, with the very intention of giving her a piece of my mind'What?' she arrogantly said. I assess her trying to evaluate the quickest way to hurt her and I decide on emotional blackmail.' I trusted you and this is how you repay me!!, by telling your son I'm cheating on him', 'well a cheater you want and a cheater you will get', I say before she can even get a word in.I try to walk away but she holds me back ‘now listen here you little slut, I will not let you ruin my son's image. All that he's worked for will not go away just to please your ungrateful self …..’‘ I didn't ask for any of this’ I yell back ‘ it's an arranged marriage or did you forget,
Amelia's pov On arriving home,I meet Lucie at the door. He says ‘hi’ which I fluidly ignore and walk past him into my room without even bothering to watch for the look on his face.I've got plans and sitting at home isn't going to work for me. There's still the matter of who sent those guys and why. I've got to go see dad so we can discuss strategies. I wonder if Ace will be there but I doubt the newly married lover boy will leave his wife(also what's her deal anyway?,like how did my brother manage to bag her). We've got to take this matter to Osiris, but that's Ace's job.I get changed and ready to leave the house when Lucie suddenly comes out of his room and asks ‘ what's wrong with you?, Where are you going? ’ once again without missing a beat I reply ‘ I'm a cheater, you don't need to know where I'm going’ he looked struck and I was pleased and started walking away, when I got to the door I turned and smiled sweetly before adding the last blow ‘ don't wait up, I won't be coming
Lucie's povThe meeting with dad is over and honestly I don't know what the fuss is about. I mean I do understand that it isn't safe anymore and that there's something threatening our empire, all that dad has worked for over the years and I fear that we might have a mole in our midst but I'll keep that to myself until i make more investigations.Amelia's left for the agency and I just can't get my head wrapped around what mom said about her being a cheater. I've always felt she wasn't that way, but if this turns out to be true he's never going to live to regret it and she….well we'll see. Although, I wish she'd speak to me,I need to do something for her but she seems to rebuff everything that I do except the painting of her room,but that wasn't even my idea. No, I need something fresh but what, I hate to ask for help but I think I'll have to resort to that soon. Trying to put Amelia out of my mind, I go to work not feeling quite like working though. I call in my assistant Regina Wi
### Chapter 47: Beneath the SurfaceRegina sat in her small apartment, a single lamp casting long shadows across the room. She’d barely slept since the incident, her mind a whirlwind of fear and regret. The events of the last few days had unraveled faster than she could comprehend, and she was starting to feel like a puppet, yanked around by strings she couldn’t see.Her phone buzzed on the coffee table, startling her out of her thoughts. She reached for it, her hands trembling slightly as she saw the name on the screen: Ivy.Regina hesitated before answering, her voice barely above a whisper. “Ivy?”“Regina,” Ivy’s voice was sharp, all business. “We need to talk. Now.”Regina swallowed hard, her heart pounding in her chest. “What’s going on? Did you hear anything from… you know, them?”There was a pause on the other end, followed by a sigh. “Not over the phone. Meet me at the usual spot. Fifteen minutes.”The line went dead before Regina could respond. She stared at her phone, feelin
Lucie sat behind his massive desk, eyes fixed on the darkened screen of his laptop. The silence of his office was oppressive, broken only by the distant hum of the building's air conditioning. He couldn't stop replaying the events of the past twenty-four hours in his mind—Amelia’s cold demeanor, the scandalous video, and the look of fear in Regina’s eyes when she’d tried to explain herself earlier that day.“Goddammit,” Lucie muttered under his breath, rubbing his temples. He knew he should be focusing on damage control, but his thoughts kept drifting back to Amelia. They had just started to rebuild their relationship after months of tension, and now this.The door to his office creaked open, and Tony stepped inside, his expression serious. Lucie looked up, nodding for him to come in.“Any updates?” Lucie asked, trying to keep his voice steady.Tony closed the door behind him and walked over to the desk, his movements deliberate. He placed the folder Claire had given him earlier on th
Tony couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. As he left Lucie’s office, his mind raced with thoughts of Regina and the strange encounter he had with her in the hallway. Her nervousness, the way she blurted out her fears, and the fact that she was so convinced she would be fired all pointed to something deeper. He had seen many people in tough situations, but this felt different—like a desperate attempt to cover something up.Walking down the corridor, he pulled out his phone and dialed Amelia’s number. She picked up on the second ring, her voice laced with irritation. “What is it, Tony? I’m in the middle of something.”“Just checking in,” Tony replied, trying to sound casual. “I wanted to see if you’re okay after… everything.”There was a pause on the other end. “I’m fine,” Amelia said, her tone softening slightly. “Lucie’s a mess, though. He thinks I’m going to leave him over this.”“Are you?” Tony asked, more out of curiosity than concern.Amelia sighed. “I don’t know. It
Chapter 44After the meetingThankfully, the meeting is over. Now to head on to Lucie's office so we can interrogate his PA and get her to round up her friends. Damn bitcj must have planned it all. I wonder if Amelia has seen the video, I mean Lucie was all cold during the meeting so she's probably seen it and is giving him grief over it. Women, he was as clueless to the workings of their mind as an elephant had business on a plane. They were very cunning and looked you dead in the eye when hurting you. Though they had to be hurt first, women never worked without the motives and signals they received from their emotions. God, this is why I'll never get married. As Tony pondered on all this he accidentally walked into someone causing her to drop all her papers. “Oh, my bad, I wasn't looking where I was going. Bit of a klutz, that's what people usually say. Oh God, I'm blabbering I'm gonna stop now.” Tony wasn't even paying attention to anything she was saying, he was struck. Well here
Osiris pov I know that boy has been spoiled by his mother, what happened to my cold hard son, the man he was before. I know that his mother means well but she needs to stop interfering in his marriage. Amelia is a really nice girl, I mean she's got her own skeletons in her closet, maybe much more than Lucie but that's not what this is about. The boy is trying to get to know the girl and all this things keep popping up . God, marriages these days are so complicated, back then it was just you and your wife and family was only consulted when advice was sought. As Osiris stands at his window with a tasteful view of the city, he ponders on who and why someone would want to do this. He was getting too old for this. God forbid he actually said those words aloud but it was the truth. This is supposed to be Lucie's time to run the company and handle the family, the streets and his clubs and not to forget his marriage or was he too young for all of this. One of the requirements was for him t
Unknown pov The video has been uploaded by our man and he's really going good, I'm a bit shocked they came to the studio together but then the car parked and it seemed to take forever but she eventually alighted and it looked like she was crying. The plan is going well and if it goes at this rate, in the next couple of months the great Lucie and his family are going to be begging at feet they never even knew existed. This is so exciting, I almost want to blow this all up but I know it's too early and it would have no effect because they would present a united front or at least from what I've seen a not do united front . Well that's their problem, I've got other things to go put in order. Let the games continue and here's to a lot of drama. I'm gonna need some wine and maybe popcorn for the drama that's about to unfold. Till another time. Lucie's pov On arriving at work, I notice all the staff are throwing me looks, the men in admiration like we're in high school and I've just na
The next morning I wake up in Lucie's arms and for a couple of seconds I'm a bit disorientated as I can't remember what happened or where I am. Then it all comes back to me, I start blushing and look down at myself and yes I'm naked. Slowly and quietly I untangle myself from him and get off the bed. Walking down the hall feeling scandalous and wondering what I'd do if one of the help caught roaming the hall stark naked. With that thought, I giggle and break into a run heading for the den. On getting there, I peek in to check if the coast is clear and feeling like a teenager, I scoop my nightie off the floor and put it on hastily and exit to my room.I head directly for the shower, as I get in and start to wash off I realize how tender and sensitive I am around the areas where he touched. I feel so light and really didn't know that sex or at least as close as we got to it was this blissful. I can't believe I came twice, God, Lucie's gonna think I'm a little girl who can't hold her own
Amelia's pov Damn, what's going on here? Are Lucie and I really kissing, this evening wasn't even supposed to go down like this. I'm supposed to be mad at him.He's such an amazing kisser, whoa Amelia calm down and enjoy the moment. Oh my God, am I really straddling him. This is even wilder than my kiss with Gray, don't think about that now.Are we moving?, shit he's putting me on the table, damn this feels so good. Lucie starts tracing kisses down the side of my neck and bites down. Ohhhh,that feels goo….. he's sucking the hollow of my neck. And I'm pulling him closer not wanting to let go, this is so exciting and scary at the same time.He lifts his head, “Lucie, why'd you stop?” He lifts his head and I see that his eyes have darkened, his breathing is ragged and short. Why's he looking at me like I'm a piece of food? Abruptly he turn and walks towards the door, thinking it's a sign, I follow only for him to stop.me with an “I'll be right back” A bit put off by the fact that he
Lucie's povAmelia…damn I thought she wasn't coming home. Fuck, this is all her fault anyway, let her see me like this.Shit.. let me hurry into my room,as I hurry across the hall into my room her door suddenly open and there she is in a pair of sexy lingerie. Sucking in my breath, I stare at her hungrily. “And where do you think you're coming from at this hour of the day? I guess I'm not the only cheater around here. Smelling like a woman perfume all half drunk and rugged looking” she raps out to me. Slightly dumbfounded, I blink at her rapidly because I'm stuck on how little clothes she's putting on, how sexy she looks and how she doesn't realize how arousing she looks right now. All these thoughts get me hard instantly and upset me in the process.Suddenly the day's events flash through my mind and filled with rage I let her have it “ well isn't this just rich, you think you can accuse me falsely just because my mother made a simple mistake in judgement about your friend? No d
