Amelia's POV I got into the car and Scott started the ignition. I stared at him and fumed. "It wouldn't have hurt you to pick me up a bit later, you know", I said and I saw Scott smile through the rear mirror. Whatever... Scott continued driving and I just looked outside, at the malls, the small shops, the park and the tall buildings around the city. "You must be really close to William sir", I heard Scott say and I turned to look at him. "What do you mean? Why do you say that?", I asked curiously. "He does not usually ask me to pick people up for him. Not this frequently", Scott replied and I sighed deeply. "Don't worry, if it's about the stress, you won't be in any stress any longer. I... I am going to live with him now, so you can just-", I had not finished talking when Scott cut me off rudely, shutting me out of my slow talking fantasy. "What?!", he shouted before looking back at me. "Hey! You can just use the rearview mirror to look at me and talk. Face the front back
Willaim's POV I was working on a file the Press team submitted when a knock sounded on the door. I checked my wristwatch, an hour has passed. That must be Scott then. "Come in", I called out and the door pushed open. "You are finally back", I said as he stood in front of me. "What news do you have?", I asked before he could say anything. "She met with a friend, that's all", he replied "A friend?", I asked with squinted eyes but it seems this guy is not getting my intentions at all. "What type of friend, Scott?!", I shouted and he held back a laugh which somehow managed to make a short sneezing like sound out of his nose. "Are you laughing right now?", I asked and he quickly brought his hand to cover his mouth. "Of course not, boss", he replied with a straight face and then cleared his throat I massaged my forehead and closed my eyes before opening them and looked up at Scott. "She was with a friend but the friend is a girl and they seemed very close. That's all", Scott fin
Amelia's POV I woke up and I feel so agitated. I looked at the alarm clock at the bedside table and my eyes went wide. 12:45am! I can't believe I slept for that long. I gripped my hair tight before getting out of the bed. Immediately, my feet touched the cold floor, my stomach rumbled. Great! I hope Mary left some food for me for dinner. I went downstairs and I found the remaining food in the pot. I took a dish from the rack and served myself a meal quickly. After I was done, I looked around in boredom. I had slept so early and near bedtime that now that it is bedtime, I don't feel like sleeping any longer. I groaned before finding my way towards the couch facing the television in the sitting room. I took my seat on it before stretching forward and I grabbed the television remote. I changed channels and finally, a movie. Not just a movie, an horror one I that. I beamed. Just that the movie had started like thirty minutes ago and I had missed the entirely beginning but I w
Willaim's POV "He tried to rape me!", she shouted before leaving and my mouth went agape. I caught a glimpse of her face, particularly her eyes before she left... She looked angry. I think she remembered how it had happened too, 'cause there was pain in her eyes. Okay, I think I said too much but which animal would try to rape a lady? I could feel my blood boiling in anger. What insolent?! FLASHBACK... Saturday afternoon.. Amelia's POV I was bored inside the house and Mary suggested that I take a walk outside. I agreed almost immediately, it would be like a change of view for me. I would get to see the whole compound too. I walked out of the front door and walked around the compound with no destination, I walked to the side of the house. The beautiful flower plants there caught my attention. I have not even for once, noticed the flowers growing at this side of the house. I walked down, towards the back of the house when a man came into view. Not even a man, he looks like a
William's POV I sat on the couch and took my head in my hands. Why did I do that anyways? It's not like I care that she is angry but seriously, I can't help but feel bad after knowing what truly happened. Every sane man would but this is not actually my fault if you think about it. It's not like I knew what really caused her to leave her job before. Trust me, I wouldn't have said all that I said. I am not a coward, you know. Mary came into my view and I looked up at her. "Dinner is ready, you should get Amelia", she said with a smile and I nodded positively. "Okay, I will take a shower first", I said standing up and she nodded before leaving. I got upstairs and I stood in front of that door for a long time before moving away swiftly. I don't think I would be able to call her for dinner today, Mary can just do it herself. I shrugged before making my way to my room. After some minutes, I went downstairs and Mary had served the food for the both of us. "Where is Amelia?", Mar
Amelia's POV I went downstairs after some time and I met William in the dining room, already having breakfast. "Good morning", I decided to start this day again. No apologies from anyone, no remembering the past, nothing. It's just going to be a normal Sunday morning. "Morning", he replied, looking at me as I pulled a chair out. Seems he understands what I am trying to do as well. "Where is Mary?", I asked as I took my seat. "She does not stay here on Sundays", William replied. "Who cooked this then?", I asked in confusion. "Mary", he replied which earned a frown from me. "I do not even want to pry further", I said and he chuckled. We finished eating and I stood up to take my dishes away to the kitchen. He stood up as well and I grabbed his dish quickly. "What are you doing?", he asked as I arranged all the dishes on the rectangular tray I picked up from the dining table. I am guessing Mary uses this when she gets to be the one to pack the plates away from the dining tab
Mirabel's POV I walked into my son's house just to see a fair color, brunette haired lady standing in front of the couch. 'Who is she?', was the first question that shot up to my brain immediately I saw her. 'A one night stand?', another thought came. Only that if she was one of William's night stands, she should have left by now and also at his house? Would he take a night stand to his house? Not sure about that. Even if she is a night stand, I am overjoyed. My son has never been with any girl intimately before, well not in front of me. The girls I knew, he made sure to let me know that they were just his friends. I stared at the lady in front of me. She was looking at me in surprise too. "Who-?", I started to speak up, the silence in the room was getting too much and unbearable for me. "I guess I would have to introduce you two", William's voice rang from my side as he continued speaking. The next thing I knew was that I was holding this young lady's hand. William had int
Amelia's POV A lady came into my view. She was wearing a blue free gown that reached just above her knee. The cloth has a u cut, so her boobs were not showing at all. In short, she looks really decent. She walked inside and then, that was when I saw the guy behind her. "You could have just barged in as you always do", William said, stopping me from assessing the guy behind the new girl. "Whatever", the girl scoffed and William frowned. "Mia!", William's Mom shouted suddenly in joy as she stood up from my side. I breathed a sigh of relief. At least these new people have removed me from whatever I was in before but now there is more people. Great. I stood up as a sign of courtesy and William's Mom pulled the girl called Mia into an hug. "Auntie", the girl replied back as they hugged. She looked up all of a sudden and when she saw me, I could see the surprise look on her face. William's Mom pulled herself away from Mia and hugged the guy shortly as well. "How have you two bee
