Watch Me; SHINE chapter 45
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

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

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

### 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

Amelia's point of view:"I don't think this is a good idea, Lia," my older brother, Ace, said softly, looking at me.A sigh left my lips; he had been overprotective again."It's just one party, Ace, and I promise if anything happens, I'll call you," I begged him.But he still shook his head at me."Don't you understand that those kids will make fun of you because you are...""Fat?" I asked with a tilted head.A sigh left his lips before looking away."Look, I'm just trying to help you out here. Don't go to the party. Stay with me. We could both watch a movie, do anything you want, Amelia. Just don't go," he said softly, his eyes searching mine."I want to go, Ace, that's all I asked. If anything happens, I'll call you and never go to any party again, I promise," I whispered."Let her go; she's going to be the one crying back," I heard someone say from the door.Turning my head, I looked into the eyes of my father, a scold on his lips."But Dad-" Ace mumbled."Enough; she wants to go, s

Amelia's point of view:"Wow," I whispered, looking at the house in front of me.No, not a house; it's a freaking mansion."Cool, right? One of the school basketball players, Toney, owns it," Frank said.Nodding my head, I looked outside the window; I could see people moving, which made my heart race."You could just go; I'll wait here for you," I mumbled softly, looking at him with a smile.Only to receive an eye rollback."Get your pretty ass out!" Frank ordered, hopping out of his car.A sigh left my lips before whispering a little prayer.I needed it; I needed the prayers.Frank opened the door for me, his head tilted to the side."I'll protect you, Lia, just like I always do," he said softly.Nodding my head, I wrapped my fingers in his.Then hopped out."If anything goes wrong, I'm leaving," I stated."Whatever you say, boss," Frank said, making me giggle.With that, we walked towards the entrance.I could already feel people's eyes on us, watching our every move.Maybe they are

Amelia's Point of View:"Wake up, it's time for school!" my father said bluntly.Rolling my head, I gave him a small smile to which he returned."I see you didn't come back home crying, guess everything was fine, right?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.Nodding, I thumped him up, and he chuckled before walking out of my room.Letting out a breath, I slowly rose from my bed.I think I'll tell my Dad to homeschool me; all this isn't working out, especially what Toney said. But I have to think positively, right?Shaking my head, I walked toward my closet, then brought out my black hoodie and baggy pants.I didn't want people staring. Walking towards the toilet, I looked at myself in the mirror. Slapping my tummy, I watched it bounce back like water, making me groan. I think I should start working out soon. Maybe I eat too much.Shaking my head, I walked into the bathroom, making sure to lock the door behind me. I pulled off my clothes, then grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste, going thro

Amelia's Point of View:"Why is this fat girl coming towards us?" I heard Lucie ask loudly, making the room feel smaller with his booming voice.Not this, Lord, anything but this.I could feel Toney throwing glances at him, but he didn't care."What do you mean? She's friends with us, Lucie," Alex mumbled with a frown.Lucie let out a chuckle before shaking his head. Then he stood up from his chair and walked out of the class, leaving everyone with dropped jaws."Did I do something?" I asked with a frown."No, he's just a grumpy ass," Toney mumbled with a smile. "Come on, let's study," he whispered softly.Nodding my head, I walked toward the empty seat next to Frank. By the time I was about to sit down, a guy from the back pushed the chair, making me fall.Immediately, I let out a cry of pain when I landed on the ground. "Sorry, didn't see you there, piggy," he said with a laugh, making everyone join in the laughter.My eyes welled up with tears as I continued to stare at the boy.

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.

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

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

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?
