All Chapters of Torn between the Alpha and Vampire Lord : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Elena's POVIf there was one person that every time I looked at, it made living as a maid seem like a prize that I should be grateful for, it was Amelia. And it made me feel even worse knowing that she was going through an even rougher time now that she was back at the mansion. I remembered the first time that I met her. I had been sold by my stepfather shortly after my mother died at the age of fifteen and found myself as a maid in this huge mansion. When I entered, my eyes filled with tears, she was the first person that I had seen. The same age that I was even though I didn't know it yet, a gentle smile on her face that seemed like she had rehearsed it several times but it was more sincere than the pitying looks of all of the other maids that I had seen that day. And after that day, I had looked out for her especially when I realized that between the two of us, despite how she made it look like she could handle whatever the world threw at her, she was probably the most fragile

Amelia's POVMaybe there was something in me that had snapped but when I received the message today from one of the maids while I was in the kitchen that Cassius wanted to see me, I wasn't scared. I wasn't terrified. I didn't feel like passing out in fear of what he was going to do whenever I got there. No. I felt power. Unimaginable power and fury like no other. So, instead of heading straight to his bedroom, I nodded and excused myself from the kitchen to my room. Heading straight for my drawer where he had given me revealing casual dresses over the years in hopes that I would wear them but I had never agreed to and had gotten punished for it several times, I decided that today was going to be different. Standing in front of the mirror as I wore the floral dress that was ridiculously short and revealed an insane amount of courage, I took in a deep breath and the scared Amelia vanished before my very eyes. I couldn't be scared. Not when I had a mission. Not if I wanted to esca

Amelia's POV"I would like for you to sponsor me through university. I want to go to college like my peers." I said in one full breath, my lips curving up in a soft innocent smile as I waited for him to process my request. As expected, Cassius's face changed and the mask of the pleasant gentleman slipped from his face almost immediately, revealing the ugliness I was used to. When my smile disappeared from my face, he realized his mistake and quickly tried to fix his gaze but it was too late. I had already confirmed what I was looking for and it meant that Cassius had not changed one bit. I never thought he had, but this solidified my resolve.He was just trying to pretend he had because he was getting what he wanted from me after all this while; my uninterrupted and quick obedience to everything he did.Even though he tried to control the anger in his veins, his glare still shot forward and he pinned me with that hard glare, his menacing face contorted in a monstrous form that beli

Amelia's POVWho do I lean on when I'm losing my balance? Where do I start and where do I begin?These were the questions that plagued me every night when I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, aware that yet again I had failed to get anything worthy from Cassius that would be able to serve as his Achilles heel and would help me to escape. Every day that I had to smile at him and listen to his lies about how he loved me- I was sure that he believed that he was actually in love with me, which was even scarier- drained me. Every day that I had to let him touch me and kiss me ended up with me bending over the toilet seat and vomiting my guts out, scrubbing my skin under hot searing water. I was surprised I didn't have scalds.What was worse was that every day that passed, my hope dwindled because even though Elena had reassured me that Damien was doing everything that he could to get me out of here, I was not sure that he would be able to find a way that did not involve bloodshed. I wo

Amelia's POV"I have known Cassius for over thirty years, Amelia, and he has not changed one bit. Not his physical appearance and certainly not character-wise. He is still the same man who cried as he cut off Sophia's head. He is a monster. And nothing he says can change that. I want you to know and understand that. I regret not trying harder to stop Sophia back then because even though this life is not what I would wish on anyone, she and those girls didn't deserve to die. I would advise you to leave now if you really want to escape because I can see that he has let his guard down now with you. You should run and never look back. You should never turn back because we don't know what he is capable of if he finds you again."Elizabeth was no longer sitting in front of me, saying those words but I could swear that it was the only thing that I could hear when I closed my eyes to sleep last night and it was the first thing that had come to my mind this morning when I opened my eyes. It f
