Amelia’s POVI had no idea why, but it felt like home to me. Actually, that was untrue, I knew why I had immediately felt a sense of peace wash over me the moment I stepped into the room. I tried to lie to myself that it was the plush carpeting that felt like I was sinking my feet into sand or that it was the beautiful reading corner that made my body itch with excitement to use it and fingers tremble with the urge to hold a sweet-smelling book. However, my lips curled themselves into a wry smile as I grudgingly admitted to myself that my strange comfort was not due to any of what I had listed or the other luxuries of the room or house, but…It's because of that memory, isn't it? Blaire's voice asked in my head.I tried to shoo it away.Go away, Blaire.Not until you admit to yourself the truth.I mentally rolled my eyes even as the flashback washed over me.I remember once talking with Eddie late in the night as we snuggled with each other.

Amelia’s POVI was so shocked when I saw Eddie and his daughter. I couldn’t believe that he was the one I would be working. I was so angry with the way he treated me. He fired me instantly and I also left his place angrily. I hailed a cab and told the driver to take me to Presbyterian Hospital and all I did was sobbed inwardly during the drive. I saw that the driver occasionally glanced at me but I ignored him and to avoid him probing into my personal life, I wiped off my tears. When we arrived at the hospital, I paid the driver and after making sure that I wasn’t looking like someone that had been crying so that my parents wouldn’t be worried, I headed into the hospital and then went to my mom’s room. I dropped my luggage outside and I met her sitting with her husband. They were both happy to see me but with my mom, I knew she would notice that I wasn’t feeling good enough. She quickly noticed my mood and then asked me what was going on with me.“Is everything alright, Amelia?” My d

Amelia’s POVEnough of thinking about Eddie, Amelia. He kicked you out, declaring that you can not work for him, and he did so ruthlessly and cruelly. You should not let him take up space in your head.I stared blankly into space, hurt filling my chest as I thought about how he had called Mr. James and how he had not even looked at me when I was leaving.I did not want to work for him anyway, I thought to myself defiantly as I blinked away the sweat that rolled down from my eyes.I quickly discarded the thoughts about Eddie and then cleared my throat to get my father’s attention. He turned back to look at me and then asked if I was back. I approached him and then told him about the interview I would be going for by 3 pm.

Amelia’s POV I was so scared seeing how Raymond stared at me like a prey he was ready to devour. I plastered myself against the wall, unable to keep the tremor out of my voice as I pleaded with him, telling him that I wasn’t interested in the job anymore.Chills ran down my spine as he stalked me, I kept my back to the wall and continued watching him like a cornered mouse as we faced off against each other.“You got the job already, Amelia. All you have to do is give me what I want and I will do the same too,” he said.I stared at him, unable to keep the disdain off my face and voice as I vehemently shook my head. I took a quick glance at the door, wondering if I would be able to make it to the door without him catching me. He must have guessed what I was doing as I tried to calculate the odds. He yelled at me angrily, telling me that I was making him feel like a bad person. He approached me but I moved away from the door and hurriedly moved back away from him. He did not stop coming

I couldn’t think straight as all that clouded my mind was the bastard that almost took advantage of me.

"She was clearly crying because of what… you know… what happened with the jerk whose name we shall not mention.""Exactly, I guessed so, Blaire. Which was why I wanted to go back in and comfort her and assure her that you are not.""But you are not, Amelia. And they know it. And they feel guilty, your mom especially. This recent incident must have made them feel even more worse. To them, they probably feel like a burden, like they are holding you back or down.
