Amelia point of View:
"so tell me how all this happened?" I asked softly while taking a bite of my food.Ace and my Dad looked at each other before dropping their spoons."Dad was sick, really sick and he was at the point of dying" Ace started.my eyes wide out before looking at Dad who just looked away from me."we didn't want to tell you because we knew you were also going through alot" Ace mumbled with a frown."so uhm one day Frank and Toney came over, they came looking for you, and I wasn't around." Ace mumbled with a pause."Dad fainted and they helped him get to the hospital before calling me." He said."Lucie helped Dad out, he payed for everything and-" Ace mumbled with a sigh."and? what " I asked softly looking at both of them."and in return he wants you to forgive and marry him" Ace said making my eyes wide out."Marry him, that's fucking crazy, how much did he pay I'll work and pay him back " I said with a raised eyebrow.but the look dad and my brother shared, I knew it was more than what I could get."tell me this is a joke Dad " I whispered softly.I didn't want to marry him, after all he did to me, now he wants marriage?this has to be a fucking joke."I'm sorry Lia, I didn't know what to do, I promise his a nice man his not like before " Father begged.Shaking my head, I looked at my food, I didn't feel like eating anymore."I'll be in my room" I mumbled before walking away before Any of them will say anything.why? why all this.why all this now, I didn't want anything to do with Lucie not after what he did.but why would he want marriage.was this another game of his?questions by questions but I still didn't get an answer.closing my room door, I lay down on the bed.was all this money his doing also?if yes, then I'm fucking done for for real.Why would he help my father anyways, he knows I'm related to him, so why.if I keep asking myself all this questions, I won't get a reply until I find him and ask.so I rolled off my bed, grabbed my hoodie, and phone.and made my way outside."where can I find him?" I asked my brother whose eyes wide out."I can take you there, but uhm frank and the others are also with him" he explained while walking towards the door."don't care, I wanna meet Lucie, not them" I replied with a frown.nodding his head, we walked towards the door then walked towards his car.when we were both in.Ace looked at me before letting out a breath."please don't hate Dad for this, you can be angry at me, but not him" he begged."how did we get all this house and money?" I asked softly."uhm this is from Lucie father, he said I can work under him, so all this money is from me, I built this house, everything is ours" he said.nodding my head, I looked outside the window, having nothing else to say.My brother let's out a sigh, then drove off.Amelia's Point of ViewWe finally arrived at a bigger mansion, which had more bodyguards.Damn, what if I wanted to eliminate all of them? I wouldn't be able to leave without getting shot."Come on, they are all inside," Ace mumbled.Nodding my head, I opened the car door, then jumped out.I was still short, which I didn't like.We walked towards the entrance when a man with tattoos stopped us."Sir Ace, is everything okay?" He asked while staring at me with a raised eyebrow.But I kept my face emotionless, just like my uncle taught me."Everything is fine, Mark. My sister just came back, and we wanted to meet Lucie and the others," Ace explained.The marked man nodded his head before taking a step back from us, then opened the door, not before bowing his head.Ace looked at me before walking inside.I made sure to give Mark a look before smirking when his face paled.Guess my looks do give chills.Walking in, I looked around the mansion. I didn't want to stare too much before looking
Amelia's Point of View:The next morning, Dad and Ace woke me up, saying we had to get ready for a dinner date with Lucie's family. Was I happy? No! I hate dates, especially fancy ones."Do I have to wear a dress?" I asked my dad and my brother, who were in my room looking for a dress for me to wear, but the thing is, I had none. My uncle hates dresses or short outfits, and he didn't want his bodyguards staring at me, so I had to burn all of them. I cried that day."I thought you loved dresses, mi love. What happened to all of them?" Dad asked with a frown before walking towards my chair."Well, your brother burnt all of them. He didn't like them and said it makes you look and feel like a girly girl, so he didn't want that from me," I replied with a smile.Dad shook his head before letting out a breath. "You and your brother need to go to the mall and get a dress. This dinner is really important, Amelia," he said.A scold made its way to my lips. "It's important for you both, and no
Amelia point of View;The moment we arrived at the party, I already knew it was a big one.the amount of cars parked outside, and the amount of bodyguard's I had seen everywhere, made things more worse to me."Is Lucie and his family members Mafia people?" I asked softly.I needed to know before I plan to do anything with my life.Father nods his head before letting out a breath."Amelia, if you don't want this, I really understand, but please just for me, maybe just stay with him for 1 year, and if you love him, then you guys can decide what to do next" Father mumbled softly."it's all good father, I won't act up in the party, let's just go please" I said with a smile.I was really not going to act up, but if I meet anyone from school and they bully me there about my new body.then I'll make sure to kill one person at least.all my uncle training can't go to waste.The sound of the car door opening made me snap my head up.my brother stood there, his hand out waiting for me, a smile
Amelia's Point of View:Osiris Walker and Verena Walker—both their names held power. "Osiris" means "God of death," while "Verena" means "to respect." Once again, I found myself pondering how my father got me into this world, but leaving it was going to be difficult."Father, mother, this is Amelia, my wife-to-be," Lucie declared loudly, ensuring they could hear him. Osiris turned towards me, his grey eyes, similar to Lucie's, staring at me before nodding his head. It was no surprise; everyone knew he seldom spoke to anyone except his wife. If she approved of me, that's when he would acknowledge me."Oh my, you are so beautiful!" Verena exclaimed with a smile. Before I knew it, I was in her arms as she jumped up and down with me. She certainly had lots of energy."Thank you so much, ma'am," I replied politely, giving her my best smile."Nonsense, call me Verena; you are my future daughter-in-law, so we must get to know each other!" she insisted, her kindness and sweetness shining thro
Amelia's Point of View:The race had already started before I arrived; I came late because Han didn't want to leave. He kept asking why I left the party without telling my family members. But after begging him with food, he agreed and left. So, I had a little food date with that man baby.Rolling my eyes, I could feel the people screaming and hyping the race. There was something about racing that I was obsessed with. It all started when one of my uncle's men, Gray, he was the best biker I'd ever met.I remembered that day. I came out of the mansion, my book in my hands. I got bored of staying indoors. That's when I saw it, his bike, there in all its glory. I couldn't help but grasp and ran towards it, before I could touch it, Gray grabbed my arm. I had no idea where he came from, but from the scold he gave me, I knew I had crossed the line.I had the biggest crush on him, but I was only 18 then, and he was 25. It took only one year of training, and I became a mini version of him. But
Amelia point of View;"So where have you been all these while?" I asked Gray.we were both in my room, I couldn't stop staring at him.he looked more handsome than before, His face and Body looked different."I was kidnapped, the day I left the mansion for the mission, The Russian Mafia came and attacked us, killed everyone except me" He mumbled with a frown."I have been with them , for 1 year and some months, before escaping, but I had to plan everything, so I managed to get some of his men to work with me" Gray continued."Before we left that place, one of his men placed a bomb in it, and it exploded." He Finally said with a sigh."I'm sorry I made you worry my little Trouble maker" He mumbled with a smile, while giving my cheek a squeeze."Just don't leave anymore, you had no idea how I felt!" I whispered softly looking at him.Nodding his head, he placed a kiss on my forehead before wrapping his arms around my waist.Did I tell you guys I have a ; "CRUSH ON THIS MAN!!"He always
Amelia point of View:"So tell me, why did you leave the party yesterday?, rumors had it that Lucie father was so pissed when he didn't see you!" Han said making me roll my eyes."Saying all this won't help me, you know?" I said to him.to which he laughed about.Then placed the ice cream in his mouth.Today was our little Date, tomorrow I had to go shopping with Lucie mother for my wedding dress."Are you happy about the wedding? it's in two days" He mumbled.Shaking my head, I let out a breath."I don't know if am ready Han, you know how I feel about Lucie, am not sure his parents know that he bullied me" I explained.Because from the looks they gave me, they maybe thought I and Lucie were inlove with each other, just like them."Don't think to much girl! it's just a year, by the time you know it, you are off, now back to the question, why did you leave the party yesterday?" He asked and said."I went to a race" I replied softly looking at him.his eyes wide out before laughing."T
Amelia's point of view;"So, what do you think of this dress?" I heard Lucie's mother say.making my head snap up, before looking at what she is pointing."uhm, it's good, just has too many flowers on it " I replied softly, looking at it like it could kill me.Again, everything cute and bubbly makes me sick."let's see another one then my darling," she said softly with a smile.I only nodded my head, I did feel bad.we had been in this fancy place for an hour and a half, and I still didn't like anyone.it just looked so cute, I know the old Amelia would probably pick everything.but this didn't like any."you know what! I'll take this one, it looks really beautiful." I whispered.I saw the way she stared at the dress, it looked like she had already pictured me in it.and leaving it just like that, made me feel bad."Really!" she said excitedly, from the way her eyes wide out with joy.I knew I made the right choice by picking this.Nodding my head, I gave her a smile before walking to
### 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
