Amelia's pov On arriving home,I meet Lucie at the door. He says ‘hi’ which I fluidly ignore and walk past him into my room without even bothering to watch for the look on his face.I've got plans and sitting at home isn't going to work for me. There's still the matter of who sent those guys and why. I've got to go see dad so we can discuss strategies. I wonder if Ace will be there but I doubt the newly married lover boy will leave his wife(also what's her deal anyway?,like how did my brother manage to bag her). We've got to take this matter to Osiris, but that's Ace's job.I get changed and ready to leave the house when Lucie suddenly comes out of his room and asks ‘ what's wrong with you?, Where are you going? ’ once again without missing a beat I reply ‘ I'm a cheater, you don't need to know where I'm going’ he looked struck and I was pleased and started walking away, when I got to the door I turned and smiled sweetly before adding the last blow ‘ don't wait up, I won't be coming
Lucie's povThe meeting with dad is over and honestly I don't know what the fuss is about. I mean I do understand that it isn't safe anymore and that there's something threatening our empire, all that dad has worked for over the years and I fear that we might have a mole in our midst but I'll keep that to myself until i make more investigations.Amelia's left for the agency and I just can't get my head wrapped around what mom said about her being a cheater. I've always felt she wasn't that way, but if this turns out to be true he's never going to live to regret it and she….well we'll see. Although, I wish she'd speak to me,I need to do something for her but she seems to rebuff everything that I do except the painting of her room,but that wasn't even my idea. No, I need something fresh but what, I hate to ask for help but I think I'll have to resort to that soon. Trying to put Amelia out of my mind, I go to work not feeling quite like working though. I call in my assistant Regina Wi
Lucie's pov Still excited about the surprise I call the flower company to know if they've delivered the flowers and set up.the arrangement. I called the co earlier and asked him to prepare something special for Amelia and I. I also asked him to make some homemade ice cream.This is gonna be so fun I say to myself plus she has no idea, should I go pick her up from work? Nah that would just give it away and besides we're still not talking. My hope is that this dinner date will break this wall we're beginning to create because I want my wife.This is just the beginning for us, I'm going to shower her with so many things that she never going to want to leave. Although I have to remind myself not to over do it because Amelia isn't a materialistic person. Work goes by, Regina pops in often and really it's beginning to annoy me like what does she want, so when she walks in towards the close of the work day to announce that my friend would like to speak to me for a couple minutes; she's mak
Amelia's point of view:"I don't think this is a good idea, Lia," my older brother, Ace, said softly, looking at me.A sigh left my lips; he had been overprotective again."It's just one party, Ace, and I promise if anything happens, I'll call you," I begged him.But he still shook his head at me."Don't you understand that those kids will make fun of you because you are...""Fat?" I asked with a tilted head.A sigh left his lips before looking away."Look, I'm just trying to help you out here. Don't go to the party. Stay with me. We could both watch a movie, do anything you want, Amelia. Just don't go," he said softly, his eyes searching mine."I want to go, Ace, that's all I asked. If anything happens, I'll call you and never go to any party again, I promise," I whispered."Let her go; she's going to be the one crying back," I heard someone say from the door.Turning my head, I looked into the eyes of my father, a scold on his lips."But Dad-" Ace mumbled."Enough; she wants to go, s
Amelia's point of view:"Wow," I whispered, looking at the house in front of me.No, not a house; it's a freaking mansion."Cool, right? One of the school basketball players, Toney, owns it," Frank said.Nodding my head, I looked outside the window; I could see people moving, which made my heart race."You could just go; I'll wait here for you," I mumbled softly, looking at him with a smile.Only to receive an eye rollback."Get your pretty ass out!" Frank ordered, hopping out of his car.A sigh left my lips before whispering a little prayer.I needed it; I needed the prayers.Frank opened the door for me, his head tilted to the side."I'll protect you, Lia, just like I always do," he said softly.Nodding my head, I wrapped my fingers in his.Then hopped out."If anything goes wrong, I'm leaving," I stated."Whatever you say, boss," Frank said, making me giggle.With that, we walked towards the entrance.I could already feel people's eyes on us, watching our every move.Maybe they are
Amelia's Point of View:"Wake up, it's time for school!" my father said bluntly.Rolling my head, I gave him a small smile to which he returned."I see you didn't come back home crying, guess everything was fine, right?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.Nodding, I thumped him up, and he chuckled before walking out of my room.Letting out a breath, I slowly rose from my bed.I think I'll tell my Dad to homeschool me; all this isn't working out, especially what Toney said. But I have to think positively, right?Shaking my head, I walked toward my closet, then brought out my black hoodie and baggy pants.I didn't want people staring. Walking towards the toilet, I looked at myself in the mirror. Slapping my tummy, I watched it bounce back like water, making me groan. I think I should start working out soon. Maybe I eat too much.Shaking my head, I walked into the bathroom, making sure to lock the door behind me. I pulled off my clothes, then grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste, going thro
Amelia's Point of View:"Why is this fat girl coming towards us?" I heard Lucie ask loudly, making the room feel smaller with his booming voice.Not this, Lord, anything but this.I could feel Toney throwing glances at him, but he didn't care."What do you mean? She's friends with us, Lucie," Alex mumbled with a frown.Lucie let out a chuckle before shaking his head. Then he stood up from his chair and walked out of the class, leaving everyone with dropped jaws."Did I do something?" I asked with a frown."No, he's just a grumpy ass," Toney mumbled with a smile. "Come on, let's study," he whispered softly.Nodding my head, I walked toward the empty seat next to Frank. By the time I was about to sit down, a guy from the back pushed the chair, making me fall.Immediately, I let out a cry of pain when I landed on the ground. "Sorry, didn't see you there, piggy," he said with a laugh, making everyone join in the laughter.My eyes welled up with tears as I continued to stare at the boy.
Amelia's Point of View:For the past week, it's only been bullying; people would call me names like "Piggy bank," "Fat Amelia," "Moo" as if I were a cow. They never pushed me or anything, just laugh and make fun of me.As for Lucie, all he does is watch; he never spoke to me, just watched. The other girl with Pink hair made it worst. Sometimes she would pour things at me, pull my hair, and put her legs out so I could fall. But she only did it when I was alone, when the boys were not with me.As for my dad and brother, they had no idea what was going on with my school life. They kept asking me, though, but I didn't want to tell them. I liked this town because of Toney and Frank, and I didn't want to leave."Is piggy all by herself!" I heard Jake said with a smirk. His fingers laughed loudly while looking at me. But I just rolled my eyes and looked away. Just stay quiet and they'll leave."What, you can't talk anymore? Come to think of it, I haven't heard you speak before. Are you
