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
Chapter 37Lucie’s povDriving out, I realize I don't even know where I'm going. I might have missed a turn or something but shii, I'm just going to keep driving till I hit the fun part of town.It's been so long, I mean since Amelia and I got married I haven't really been outside. I've been trying so hard to be the perfect man for her that I forgot how to have fun and live my life. So tonight, that's exactly what I'm going to do and since she doesn't care about my feelings I might even get me a…… my train of thought goes south pretty quick and it comes to me that I haven't gotten some in so long. What if she's getting some from him right now? The thought sneaks into my head. Thinking about her being wrapped around someone else, kissing and touching.My speed accelerates at these thoughts I know aren't true, I mean Amelia is not that type of girl and then it hits me I haven't seen her in three years before she came home and we got married. I don't know what her life was like when she
Lucie's pov The drive home was sorta tense with Tony insisting on driving all the way through.I kept asking for a turn at the wheel but he was so focused on the road and often chided me for being so irresponsible. “Like, that the beaten, you could have been seen. Whatever happened to composure, I'd expect this kind of behavior behavior anybody else but not you!!!.” “I've apologized, what more do you want from me?? If Amelia had just agreed to the God damned dinner date we wouldn't even be here in this situation. I mean why couldn't Mother just mind her business. She just had ad to go snooping on Amelia, who does that to their new daughter in law, might I mention only daughter in law.And for fuck’s sake what is taking the team do long to gather information on that Adonis guy??” I didn't realize I had burst out loud saying all these stuff and shocked Tony into a stunned silence.“Hey man look, it's not what you think Amelia and I are just starting out and we don't really know each
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.
