All Chapters of Black Lace: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

"Hectic day?" Ryan came with two cups of coffee on Amelia's desk when she smiled and replied, "Still learning."Sun sank lower in the sky, the light of day draining away, giving way to the velvety dark of night, crickets chirping, dusky, colours subdued in the fading light, the first buzz of mosquitoes, street lights click on, day winding down, the first star in the night sky, short June darkness, the air became cooler, evening landscape, twilight had fallen, the sharp shadow of the lamppost had faded into the dark of the sidewalk, fading light, only the faintest of light shone through the leaves, soon it grew dark, darkening sky, a close silence in the dim evening light.The first thing she thought about was... "Hope..." she murmured and Ryan somehow heard it as he took a sip of his coffee saying, "Who is Hope?""My best friend. We live together," she replied and gave a nod."I heard some brave things about you," he said out of nowhere when she was busy read

Amelia did not open the door neither Christian forced her to do so. It was her choice and he respected it."Do you want to know where did I first saw you?" he asked and she breathed so that he can know he can speak."Silver moon... where you first dragged by Richard. We got bumped into each other... that's where I saw your beautiful yet frightened face. You were pure like an ocean pearl, Amelia. Nothing... and no one is this world I had seen this magnificent. Your beauty is out of this world.""Blair always used to say to me that I must appreciate her, explain how is she looking... compliment her but I never did... because I didn't know how to do this. But with you... the words automatically come out of my mouth. I'm not making that up neither I am telling you to open this door if you don't want to.""I am tired, Amelia. And I want your support, I want you to love me... just like you loved Stig... even if my name is Christian Valentino... I will always remain

"Blair!" Christian slammed his hand on the table and Amelia who just walked in with a tray of coffee in her hands was startled."Shout as much as you can. I am your fiance and I will come whenever I need to," she said and stood up, turned to leave when she grazed Amelia's shoulders and the tray of coffee slipped from her hands and fell on the floor, shattering into a million pieces."Watch your back " murmured Blair before walking out of the cabin."Amelia!" he stood up and walked to her to see if she was hurt by something."I am okay," she replied when his face was filled with fidgety."Are you okay?" she asked sitting beside him on the long sofa when he replied, "I am sick and tired of this relation."He just looked her closely and she was nothing looking like an assistant. She was in her vans, wearing jeans and a check shirt. It looked like she was at her college or came in a picnic."Christian... I..." she was interrupted by

As Christian was about to hit Ryan with the crowbar, the quick female voice interrupted them by saying, "Wait!"All three of them turned to see Amelia with her breaths high as she was panting went on her knees."Amelia!" Christian threw the crowbar on the ground and ran to his girl who was breathing heavily, her forehead full of sweat."C-Christian... do... not... kill... him..." she said breathing deeply when he replied, "Okay, relax."Ryan when saw the attention was being diverted quickly grabbed the crowbar and was about to hit Kristopher when he grasped the crowbar in the midway, smirking."Will you double-cross your father, now?" Kristopher asked grinning when he pushed Ryan and he fell on the ground."I thought you are a nice guy," Amelia said making a disgusted face when Ryan was bowing his head down, both of his hands tied."I can't believe you've been sleeping with my fiance," Christian scoffed when the marketing manager repl

The house looked like a cut out from Architects Today magazine. It was beautiful but not in the olde-worlde quaint kind of way she was usually drawn to. Everything was geometric, which is about almost any pitched roof abode with square windows, but on this chalet, she couldn't help but notice it. The roof was flat for a start and the door as wide as it was tall. The windows took up entire walls with only polished steel beams to break them into yet more rectangles. The look would have been entirely metallic like a mini downtown skyscraper had it not been for the cedar beams of the external porch and the matching raised plant beds that contained only white blooms.All the newest features were built into the house with no sentimentality for the old ways. Every luxury of life was present there. Amelia was roaming around the chalet observing everything closely."Christian... this is..." she was lost with words when Christian replied, "You like it?""I lo
