Amelia’s POVI plopped down on the bench at the bus terminal, oblivious to the looks that were coming my way. I was still shivering and trembling from my ordeal. I couldn’t think straight as all that clouded my mind was the bastard that almost took advantage of me. I just nearly got sexually assaultedI just nearly got sexually assaultedI just nearly got sexually assaultedThe words played over in my head over and over again as I rocked back and forth on the small bench I was seated on. Eventually, the adrenaline died down and I entered into a state of shock. I stared blankly at nothing for a while and only came back to my senses when someone approached me, asking if I was okay or if I needed help. At her words, I immediately burst into loud, angry sobs. The stranger was obviously alarmed at my strange behavior and hurriedly walked away from me after that.I called out at her quickly retreating back, "I'm sorry for startling you!" But she did not even look back. I sniffed and turned

Amelia's POVWe were the only ones in the elevator, so I asked her, "Why did you stop me from going back inside? I heard mom sobbing.""Because…""Blaire." "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. And this… incident with the jerk whose name we shall not mention is and will most likely weigh heavily on their heart. It was clear the way they were trying to get you to go back to Florida. Just let them process this on their own, it would be better that way."She had been talking while staring at the floor, but when she looked up, she saw the lone tear rolling down my righ

Eddie’s POVI winced when James mentioned Amelia's name right in front of Chloe. I had forgotten to tell him about Chloe's outburst earlier so he hadn't known to speak subtly without mentioning her name. James raised an eyebrow at my reaction and I grimaced, nodding towards Chloe's direction. Surprisingly enough, no reaction came from Chloe. James was still staring at me as though I had home crazy fur to the way I was acting. I stared at Chloe’s face to see if she was pouting or had heard James when he talked about Amelia and thankfully, all her attention was on her food. I subtly heaved a small sigh of relief because I did not think I would have been able to handle it if hearing Amelia's name had provoked a reaction from her.My mind briefly wondered and I paused as I contemplated why Chloe was so adamant on having Amelia as our chef. She had never really known her and had only met her twice. Once at the party which was the first time I had seen Amelia in a long while and the sec

Eddie’s POVI was so tired and needed to rest but I have to make sure Chloe had something to eat before retiring for the day. I went to the kitchen and prepared a simple meal for her, spaghetti and chicken. I served her the food with shaky hands, hoping she would find no fault in it and watched as she ate to her fill. When she was done, I took her to her room, helped her with her assignments, bathed her and dressed her up in her pajamas so that she could sleep early.She told me that it was too early to sleep and that she wanted to play some games and also watch some cartoons. I explained to her that dad had an hectic day at work and needed to rest but she insisted that I should play the games with her. I finally gave in to her request when she was about to cry. I watched as she was busy playing for hours and finally she got tired and slept off. I was so happy when I found her sleeping on the floor. I carried her gently and laid her on the bed. I closed the door gently to avoid waking

Amelia’s POVThe ride back home was silent and tense as I and Blair returned to her place and then she tried all her best to make me forget about how I almost got sexually assaulted earlier. She tried to make some funny conversations by trying to bring up some of my funny moments but I wasn’t even in the mood to talk about them. I could tell Blair was trying hard and I truly appreciated her for what she was trying to do and for being such a good friend , but no matter how hard I tried, I just could not seem to stop shaking every couple of minutes. I would stare off into the distance or be in the middle of something when I would feel phantom hands all over my body, reminding me of Raymond's wandering, insistent hands. I eventually left where I had been seated in the living room with Blaire and went into the bedroom, curling up on the bed as I continued to think about what I had gone through at the hands of that jerk, Raymond. Blaire followed me into the bedroom, her face creased wi

Amelia’s POVJust when I was about to lie down and sleep, Mr James started calling my number repeatedly. I angrily switched off my phone and tossed my phone away. I found my pillow and then laid back on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Blair returned back to the room some hours later with a tray containing food and drinks. I told her to eat without me, explaining that I was fine but she insisted that I had a bite of the food. I finally gave in, stood up to eat. My mood brightened a bit as we ate. Just as a good medical practitioner, Blair was able to counsel me properly on what happened to me earlier and I was thankful that I had someone like her as my best friend.We continued discussing and then started talking about her wedding dress. She told me that she would be going to check their wedding hall the next day and then asked me if I would accompany her to the place. I agreed to go with her to check the place and as I switched on my phone to show her some other wedding gown

Eddie’s POVI love you Amelia. Please don’t leave me. What can I do to prove my love to you? I woke up suddenly and then realized that I had been dreaming about Amelia. I truly missed her for me to have a dream about her and I could only hope that James was able to convince her to return back to work. I groaned inwardly cradling a pillow to my chest. The sun was beaming through my blinds causing me to stir. Usually, waking up was a simple task for me; I was a morning person after all but thinking about the stress I would go through while taking care of Chloe, I wanted to return back to bed but I needed to work and had to get my little Princess ready for school. I groaned when the first beam of sunlight hit my face. Picking up my alarm clock on the nightstand, I looked at the time. “Ugh, why is it so early?” I placed my clock back on the surface and slowly began to sit up. Crawling out of my warm bed, I walked to her bathroom and jumped into a warm shower to take my bath.I quickly p

I couldn't just sit there wallowing. Just then an idea, fueled by desperation and a flicker of hope, sparked in my mind. I instructed James to send Amelia a portion of her first salary, a silent plea for reconciliation.He sent the money to her and I was hopeful that she would call or text James when she received the payment but all I received was silence. The silence amplified my anxiety. Finally, James turned to me and blinked rapidly before talking to me. "She received it," he said, his voice hesitant. "But... no reaction." “No thank you, no call, just silence,” he added. The air in the room seemed to thin, suffocating me. Anger flared, hot and immediate.I was so furious but then the anger cooled, replaced by a cold dread. Had he pushed her away so far she wouldn't even consider a bridge?I told Jame
