AMELIA'S POVI watched the days turn into weeks as I tried to crack the case of who murdered my baby. I still hadn't told Max or anyone else and it was eating me up. It felt like the weight of what I knew was a little worm in my stomach that was legitly eating me up. However, I was lost on who to tell. Who would understand and not fully criticize me and blame me for being such a bad and negligent woman and mother. So, I kept it bottled in and carried on like everything was normal. Everyone felt relieved that I'd moved on from the passing of Xavier. I noticed the eagerness in the face of the maids and in that of my family too. However, it was all a charade. When I was in the corner of my room, all alone, my mind wandered to Xavier and who could have possibly killed him. This worm eating me up on the inside began to show on the outside too. I began to have bouts of dizziness and lightheadedness. Even through it all, I always tried to appear brave and strong before anyone. My parents
AMELIA'S POVWeeks went by, and so did days, I sat on the sofa, my eyes glued on the huge TV that settled on the wall.Tears left my eyes, making my heart constrict as more tears flowed out.I was upset, I was sad, I was tired.A lot has happened, and a lot was going to happen. I knew about the risk it would take leaving for the family house, but home was a place to go when one felt down.My eyes went to the door for the umpteenth time, praying Max wouldn't barge in just in time to see how vulnerable I looked.I cleaned my eyes, making sure there was no trace of tears in my eyes, before I went back to my thoughts.I didn't want him to see me like this. I didn't want him to see how pathetic and unhappy I was.For the past few days, Max has been trying to make me cheerful, but there hasn't been any improvement at all.I was yet to tell him about the bad news, the news I knew he wouldn't take well either.Another message popped up, and I clicked it after scrolling for about thirty secon
AMELIA'S POV"Don't do that." I snapped, as the car turned sharply."You don't tell me how to drive, sweetie." Rick smiled.The phone rang.He huffed but still picked up the call, and I sighed when I saw the caller ID."Hello, Rick? How's the journey going?""He's trying to fucking kill me. This fucker needs to go learn how to drive a fucking tired truck that needs a life-changing engine. Oh, My!" I yelled at the top of my voice. "Did I just say Engine?!" My voice raised to a pitch that made Rick cover his ears. "He needs new Engines, baby. Help a friend!" "Seems like you're managing her well, then Rick." Max sighed in relief. "It seems like you're not listening to me, baby. We have been cussing and yelling at each other ever since we left for the...!" I trailed off, holding my head, which seemed to be heavy due to the yelling."Stop yelling, baby. Rick is just doing his job." Max chuckled.I groaned."Don't fucking tell me you told him to do all this shit." I mumbled, glaring at Ri
AMELIA'S POV When I arrived in Homeland, it wasn't the same as when I left it.Sniffling, I covered my nose as the thick fumes from the train station made me more sick.God help me that I got home safe and sound.I felt like sitting down."Hello, pipsqueak." "Oh, fuck! Thank God. I was going to faint anytime soon." I heaved a deep breath of relief and smiled at the tall man in front of me."Grace told me to come get you. Said you were talking about some strange illness." The man in front of me said, grabbing two pieces of luggage in one hand.I sighed.Thank God! I was going to faint."Thank you, Dan." I mumbled."Anything for you, princess," Dan said, pointing at the old truck he brought.Why was everyone bringing trucks today?"Why didn't you bring another car?" I frowned.Dan chuckled."I almost left this one as well, we would have taken the train if Grace didn't convince me that you were sick and ready to drop dead. God bless that woman." Dan said, dramatically.Two mi
AMELIA'S POVMy eyes widened as I saw the caption at the bottom of it."I know what you're searching for." It wrote. "Here's the proof, real proof." It read. "Be careful and make sure you catch whoever is responsible for the death of the poor child."I dropped the burger I had picked and clicked on the screen.it was my little child who was just premature.He was too small to even take such a thing.A lone tear ran down my face, I cleaned it; looking up to the door to see it lock.Thank God!Humans were evil.They had no conscience, and for that, I read going to be the demon they'd never seen.I grabbed my phone, anger rising like an inferno burning all over me."What is It?" "Can you help me with something? You have to hear me out on this one, Matt." I groaned. "It's about my child, and I think I know just who killed my little sweetie," I said.That seemed to pique Matt's interest, because something fell, he cursed in different languages, and then a Fuck! rang in the air."What the
LUKE'S POVI wanted nothing more but to get this shit over with and got back to the mansion to see the doctor that was currently taking care of Eve.She had been down for days now, and no matter what they do, she hasn't responded to treatments.I had gotten a call earlier from Brenda and was told that it wasn't going well. That irked me badly.She had to survive, and she would!"I was forced to be here and had to eat to survive." The young lad mumbled, his eyes meeting mine.He had the nerve."How dare you?" I growled, and he shuddered, probably because of how deep my voice was. I glared at the little lad who had dared to defy me."You are no King to us, Luke." For the first time in so many years, someone called me by my name, and it wasn't someone greater like my rival, but a little lad I had taken under my wings, someone who fed from my hands.I growled, grabbing the lad's neck as I stood up from the chair."You're pathetic. You're leading us to our deaths while claiming to be a gr
AMELIA'S POVI sat on a stool as I watched Maria quietly.Not only had she yelled like a mad woman, she had sent me flying down with the racks of clothes because of her Boss.Who knew that the Boss they were trying to avoid by hiding behind the rack was standing behind them the whole time after he had stepped into the mall?Well, I shook my head as I got bored.That was all on Maria. Why avoid someone when you didn't steal from them?"Miss....""Mrs Moon. Amelia Moon." I corrected the man that stood in front of me."Don't talk to her, she's my sister. Talk to me if there's anything you want to talk about." Maria came to stand in front of me, glaring at the man who was once her Boss."Well, I have nothing to say to you, Maria. Move aside." He said, gently pushing her off by grabbing the hand of her polo, which seemed too big for her."And what do you want to say?" She went back to her position."About me courting you." The man said without batting an eyelash.'He seemed serious.' I tho
AMELIA'S POV"I couldn't keep a baby alive. It was my fault that my baby was dead. It was all my fault and no one's to blame, and there was no way I'd lose a husband." I dialed Penelope's number, putting the phone on speaker as I proceeded to get my clothes.I'd be leaving very soon."Hello.""Hello, Penelope," I called out."Ma'am?" She sounded tired.Of course, she was."How have you been, Penelope?""Tired ma'am." She said. "And likewise the Boss." She said.I facepalmed."How long has he been in the office?" I asked."Ever since two days ago. He only went out once to see Mr. Rick and came back afterward. He has been working non-stop, Ma'am. And I'm afraid he would drop dead anytime soon." She said, more like pleaded."What about Crystabelle? Has she come looking for me?""She came yesterday, but for something else. She came to get a file concerning a kid that was missing last week, but other than that, nothing else." I bit my lips.I should be there, carrying out my task as the
