“Hello, miss, the fare,” the taxi driver said, bringing her out of her train of thoughts.“Oooh, I’m so sorry,” she said sharply, trying to get back to reality. She gave the taxi driver a seven-dollar note, and they hopped out of the car. They walked to the box office to purchase movie tickets, each costing about twelve dollars.After they were done at the ticket sales counter, they went to the other side of the counter to get bowls of popcorn before going inside the cinema. They entered the cinema just as the movie was about to start. Harriet and Harrison quickly settled into their seats.As the movie progressed, the twins and Amelia were engrossed, savoring the movie with the popcorn. After a few minutes toward the ending of the movie, Sebastian strutted inside the cinema. He sent a message to Amelia, saying, “Where are you guys? Signal to me.” Amelia tilted her head to the back as she saw Seb’s message.As she did, she noticed Seb looking around the cinema, hoping to find them. She
Bzzzz! Bzzzz!! Bzzzz!!!Amelia gasped into reality at the sound of her phone’s alarm by her bedside. She was startled awake by the sound of her phone’s alarm which was stationed on the stool at her bedside. She stretched her hand to her phone on the stool to stop the alarm sound. She hit the stop button to silence the phone alarm. “Argggggh,” she complained, while she placed my phone back on the stool.It seemed as if she shut her eyes and opened her eyes and it was dawn already, she took her phone on the stool and checked what the time was 5:03 pm, she wanted to go back to sleep but she had to prepare breakfast for her siblings.She walked to the bathroom to wash her teeth after she spat out her mouthwash.She rinsed her mouth and stared at the mirror; checking her face if there were no abnormalities. While she stared at her reflection, she remembered the moment she had just enjoyed with Sebestian some hours ago. Blush skittered around her face as she recollected the moments.She rin
He dropped by her house with the twins by his side. Amelia rushed to embrace Harriett and Harrison. She felt relieved."Thank you, Seb, I overreacted, I am sorry", she said, beaming.Sebastian smiled back, he attempted to leave, but Amelia held his hand and told him to stay back for the night. He agreed.The twins felt a twinge of guilt for putting her in distress. "Amelia, we are sorry", Harrison apologized, pouting his mouth. Amelia ruffled his hair with care.She told the twins to change their clothes and have dinner. They went to their room immediately."Mia Bellezza, I am sorry I startled you. Harriet suggested we go to an amusement park after their school closes, but I couldn't say no. I forgot to contact you.", Sebastian illustrated, his voice laced with concern."It's fine seb, Harriett and Harrison are okay and you were with them"The twins came out of their room and sat down to have their dinner. Amelia served the food and they all ate in silence. Amelia tries to lighten up
The next morning, Amelia couldn't get a wink of sleep throughout the night. Due to the worries about the absence of Harrison and Harriet.A loud knock resonated through Amelia's ears, she thrived to slide out of her bed and open the door. Excitement rushed through her, as she opened the door. Harrison and Harriet hugged her tightly."My dearies, where have you been, I missed you guys a lot. I promise to never let you guys go'' Amelia cried out, still holding onto the twins.Amelia brought them into the apartment but spotted a black Audi car outside before locking the door."We are sorry, for placing you in a tight spot, a man threatened to kill you if we didn't comply with his instructions, I don't want to go back Amelia", Harrison cried out, clasping onto Amelia's arm. Sebastian strode out of the room, he got excited to see the twins."Omg, you guys are back. I heard your conversation. I hope you are not hurt?", Sebastian asked, searching for wounds on their body. He seemed relieved
Seattle, 22nd November, 2023. *.*.*.*.*.AmelieTHE Hall was adorned with only what could be described as opulence,the kind that Amelie could only wish for in her dreams. A cascade of crystal chandeliers shone over the exquisitely dressed guests who mingled beneath.Her heart raced alongside the high-tempo ballroom music that echoed through the walls of the beautiful room. Her fingers toyed nervously with the stem of the champagne flute that she had collected from a waiter earlier on, hoping to blend into the crowd as one of them.And blend in she did.Dressed in a body-hugging emerald green silk gown that matched her bright eyes and left nothing to the imagination, her golden blonde hair cascaded down in soft waves, framing a face adorned with delicate features and lips that pouted, begging to be kissed.Her best friend, Hailey, had wasted no effort to make her look sophisticated and elegant on the outside but on the inside, she was still the same Amelie Campbell, a blubbering shy m
AmelieAs she rushed through the morning, trying to make up for the lost time she had wasted while asleep the previous night, her mind still reeled from the whirlwind of events that had happened the night before.She was trying to prepare her younger twin siblings, Harrison and Harriet for school. Soon enough, she packed their bags and walked them to the doorstep where the school bus soon came to pick them up. She sighed in relief, glad that they hadn't missed the bus.She kissed both of their cheeks, wishing them a happy day and also reminding Harrison to eat his meal as he always forgot to do so.When she turned, she could feel the stares of the neighbors bore on her but whenever she turned to meet their eyes, they pretended to do something else.Shaking her head, she went into her room where her curiosity took over.Who was Sebastian Romano?She brought out her phone and typed in his name into her search engine. In less than two seconds, it had brought up so many results.Sebastian
“W..what?” She asked, When he made no signs of saying any other thing to her, she continued.“How can you propose such a thing? Marriage.. It's a very serious thing.” She mumbled.It did not matter if she liked him or not. she had always dreamt of marrying someone whom she was in love with. Someone that she could spend the entire day with, her entire years on this earth with and still love the person no matter what happened.She didn't want to marry someone just because a scandal had broke out.“I know it is.” Sebastian affirmed.“If you do, then why are you saying this? Is it because of your reputation? I saw that you are usually not seen with girls. Some even say you're gay.” She blushed at her last sentence.Sebastian suddenly laughed, a deep reverberating sound that echoed throughout her body and tingled everywhere from the top of her head down to her sole of her feet.“Gay? Why don't you tell me, darling? Did I seem gay to you last night?” He asked, his voice deep and husky.The
Sebastian strode towards Amelie and she cowered back almost instinctively. He growled, angry that she was scared of him because of whoever the idiot was.He turned to the man, rage that he has never felt before swirling around his chest, throughout his entire body.He strode to him and picked him up by his shirt and then slammed him on the wall. He didn't waste time to put his hands around his neck.“What gave you the right to think you could lay your filthy hands on my future wife?” His voice was terrifying, meant to strike fear and yet Amelie could find herself liking the way his voice sounded.It made her feel hot, the way he spoke because he was angry that someone had tried to hurt her.She felt protected.Maybe she would like the marriage arrangement after all.She rushed to them when she saw that his right hand was wrapped around her father’s neck, his face turning from red to blue.“I asked you a question, lowlife.” He taunted.“Wait, if you continue like this, you'll k..kill h
