Ethan POV It’s been a week since my argument with Mel. She hasn’t come by or texted me. I’ve tried calling her a couple of times but her phone is going straight to voice mail.How much of a princess is she? She’s not even trying to talk to me. I know I was a little too much. But I really don’t like people making decisions about my life without asking me first. She stepped over the line but I like her way too much to stay away from her. This has to stop right now. I walk out of the flat towards the lift. I press the lift button and when the doors open I am greeted by Mrs Lovegood, she is a sweet lady that lives in the penthouse. She struggles to walk so sometimes I do her food shopping. Doesn’t really hurt to help people out when we can.

Amelia POVHere I am sitting on this horrible mattress. It smells horribly here. I don’t have a bathroom. They only gave me a bucket to do my needs and it was never emptied. Food and drink have been brought regularly. But since I got to meet Rupert I haven’t been tied up again. The room has no windows and only a really dim light.I hear footsteps and I stand up. Here I am. Another beating on the way. That’s all they do now. They send different people every couple of hours and I fight them. They all look worse than me, but hey, I was trained for this. I bet I don’t look great right now. My hair is probably all greasy and it stinks. I have cuts and bruises all over my body. But my adrenaline to figure out a way to get out of here keeps me going.

Ethan POV “Did you come alone?” - Harry asks me and I nod my head. I know they are about to storm in. They will kill everyone on sight and then ask questions.“Good, finish her” - Harry says and I see two guys walking to Amelia. I can see the fear in her face for the first time ever. I can’t cope with that look in her face so I start to try and free myself but they point a gun at Amelia’s head. Shit. Shit. Hurry up, Raphael. I see Amelia crying and I wink at her. Exactly at the same time, we start hearing guns going and it’s like fucking war again. I battle my own demons with the noise. It brings me back to all the missions I’ve done especially the last one. The one that fucked me up big time. I flinch at the sounds

Amelia POV It’s been a few days since I got home and I still can’t get myself out of Ethan’s house. I feel safe and secure here. Not that I am afraid because I am not. I know that daddy has people guarding this place and if I go out I will have security. Daddy will never let me be alone now. And besides, I know Ethan would follow me anywhere. I have been on autopilot and a routine. My days are all the same. Wake up and have a shower. Get dressed in something comfortable and have breakfast. Sit in the living room watching some tv. Have lunch and go to the bedroom to read for a little bit. Avoid all phone calls or texts. Go back to the living room to watch some more tv. Have dinner. Talk to Ethan for a little bit and then go to sleep. I made sure Ethan goes to work every day. I can’t handle him being around me all day. I do l

Ethan POVAfter Sandy left I couldn’t stop thinking about what was happening. How was I going to tell Mel that I was going to be a father? How am I going to explain Sandy to her? Sandy was never anything serious. I never called her my girlfriend. She was always someone I could just have fun with with no strings attached. I never liked one night stands with people I didn’t know. So we became kind of friends with benefits. But then she became too clingy and I sent her away. I am not proud of this but I ghosted her. And now. The ghost from my past appears in front of me with a baby that she claims it’s mine. I made up my mind and I am not telling Amelia anything about it until we do the DNA test. I will book it tomorrow. I just hope the results come back fast. Fuck.
