Amelia jerked up from Rey's lap in fright. Her eyes widened in surprise as her heart raced faster than normal.Her father here? He never informed her of his arrival. No one was aware that he'd be coming home.Rey was equally in surprise but there was no expression on his face as he maintained composure.Mr. Brown stared at them with so many questions brewing up in his mind. He threw his suitcase on the couch as he walked towards them.Mr. Brown's presence was anything but ordinary. His tailored blue suit and crisp white shirt gave him an air of professionalism, while his neatly trimmed hair and polished black shoes showed respect for attention to detail. But it was his eyes that truly commanded attention, sharp and intense as they fixed on Rey and Amelia. There was a quiet, yet unmistakable sense of power and authority that radiated from him, making Amelia tremble with every step he took closer. "Dad.. you're.. you're home, welcome back." Amelia stuttered in a fit to break the awkwa
"Okay, so what else did you do?" Mr Brown asked as he dropped the glass of water.Amelia sat on a couch across the room, staring into the night from the window."Well, I didn't do much. I spent most of my time on outings. Went to the beach, went for a picnic, went to the cinema, went to a few nightclubs, did some shopping, attended lots of parties, and had a sleepover. Honestly, I had a lot of fun these past few weeks, I can't even keep count of the places I went to."Mr Brown hummed."Night clubs?" He asked, looking surprised.Amelia wasn't supposed to talk about that. Her dad hated her attending those and she just blurted it out amidst her talk."Umm…no no. Did I say nightclubs? No no no." Amelia chuckled nervously as she rose from the couch.Mr Brown stared at her intensely."I meant Chelsea went to a few nightclubs. And she made video calls while she was at the party so that's what I meant."Amelia's lie sounded so stupid and she only realized it after she finished talking. Mr B
Amelia banged her leg on the door. He already left, she said to herself."I can't believe he left without me seeing him." Amelia frowned as she walked into her room.She had gone to check her dad in his room but he had already left for the meeting.Amelia looked forward to having breakfast with her dad. But now that he already left for the office, she didn't feel like having breakfast anymore.Amelia's frown softened as she felt her phone in her jeans. "I'll just put a call through." And with that, she dialed her father's number but it forwarded into voicemail.She called a few more times and then it rang. Amelia's heart raced as she waited for a response.The call went through, Amelia didn't wait to hear who was on the phone before speaking."Dad, why'd you leave without seeing me? Couldn't you at least wait for us to have breakfast? Yes, I know you told me about the meeting but you could have at least come to say bye. Dad, I'm so mad." She complained."Uh.. ma'am Mr Brown is curre
Amelia covered her mouth as she tried to endure the pain from Rey's massage. Tears brimmed at the corner of her eyes before they finally coursed down her cheeks. Rey took a glance at Amelia's face, "Princess, you're crying? I'm sorry if it hurt you that much. I was being as gentle as possible."Amelia breathed in and out, "You don't have to apologize, just continue."Rey twisted her toe and Amelia whimpered in pain.Amelia's whimpers aroused Rey but he maintained composure. He couldn't be thinking about that right now, Amelia would call him a pervert.He swallowed hard as he massaged her toe, the feel of her skin on his palm made him feel excited.Her feet were so soft and it made Rey's mind run wild with thoughts.Rey took another glance at Amelia. Her face was a pool of tears already. He stopped massaging her legs as he reached out to wipe her tears with his thumb. He caressed her so tenderly that it made Amelia red."You're such a crybaby." Rey teased."Don't call me that," Amelia
As the days went by, Mr Brown's little spark of suspicion grew.He knew there was something between Amelia and Rey but he was yet to figure it out. Or maybe, he was yet to find enough evidence. They were keeping their tracks clean so he was going to create his evidence himself. He drummed his fingers on his glass as he created schemes in his mind."Hey Dad, what are you thinking about?" Amelia's voice snapped him out of his thoughts."Oh dear, you're here. You're looking so beautiful." Mr Brown complimented his daughter in a fit to distract her from her question.Amelia tugged a shy smile as she swayed her hair out, "Thanks, Dad." "So, any outings for today?" Mr Brown asked.Amelia got lost in thought for a while and then she shook her head, "No. I doubt it." Mr Brown dropped his glass on the table as he turned to the sofa, "But then what would you be doing all day?" Amelia shrugged, "I don't know. I didn't set out any activity for today so I guess I'll just stay home."Mr Brown sm
Mr Brown didn't say anything about what he had seen. He went into his car and drove away in a rage. He almost crashed into two other cars twice as he drove. He got to the office and when he was greeted by the secretary, he ignored her greetings.He finally sat on his chair, placed his hands on his forehead, and shut his eyes, trying to calm himself down.The secretary, Susan, was at her table when the accountant walked up to her."Is Mr Brown in now? I have to see him,” she said."Oh yeah. He finally came. You must be exhausted from coming down here multiple times." Susan said, her voice laced with laughter."You understand. I am exhausted. I'll just go see him now.""Careful. He seems to be in a bad mood today." Susan warned."Don't worry about me." The accountant responded. Susan only shrugged in response.The accountant walked in to see Mr Brown sitting on his chair with his hands on his forehead. She thought he was sleeping, so she turned to leave."What do you want?" She heard h
Mr Brown still had the thought of firing Rey in mind. He didn't know how Amelia would feel about it.The next day, during dinner, he decided to talk to her.Amelia on her part was glad to see her father, he couldn't make it to dinner the previous night so she couldn't tell him about her day."Dad, what happened yesterday? You just ran away." She started."Yeah, you were having fun at the arcade so I didn't want to disturb you I got home late." He explained.Amelia's eyes narrowed slightly."The arcade? How did you know I went to the arcade?" She questioned, looking at him suspiciously."Oh, I.. um ... someone saw you." Mr Brown quickly said."Uh-okay," Amelia responded. She heaved a sigh of relief as she almost thought he had seen her with Rey."So how was your day? And the arcade?" He asked."Fine, I guess." Amelia didn't understand why her father kept talking about the arcade."Just fine?" Mr Brown asked again and Amelia sighed."Dad, is there something wrong? Go ahead and say it."
Amelia stood by the hallway pouting. She didn't like what her father had said to her, so she was determined to stand there pouting until he apologized to her. Rey was still having a meeting with her father. Amelia was tempted to go listen to their conversation but she wanted to prove how mad she was to her father, so she refused to move an inch.Rey soon returned upstairs after Mr Brown was finally done speaking to him. He was a little startled to see Amelia standing close to the stairs pouting."Princess, what is wrong with you? And why are you here?" He questioned."Go away, Rey. I am waiting for my father and not you." She responded."Really? What do you intend to say to him?" Rey asked again and Amelia rolled her eyes."That is between my father and I." She said."Is it about me?" Rey asked again."No, it isn't. Leave me alone." Amelia gasped."Yo, relax. If you are going to stand here pouting or boiling or whatever it is you are doing right now, I think it is best you go to bed b
