Amelia walked down the stairs with her eyes red and puffy. It was the day the contract marriage was supposed to end. Xavier had told her the previous day to get ready for the divorce the next day. She was devastated. She had thought he wasn't going to carry on with the divorce, but she thought wrong.How the hell was she going to raise his child by herself? She knew if they got a divorce, she wouldn't be able to stand him after that.“You are wearing that?" Amelia heard his voice and she raised her head to look at him. He was dressed in a black tuxedo and it made her wonder if it wasn't a divorce they were going for.She was dressed in her regular wear. Her hair was wrapped in a bun and her face held no makeup. Xavier looked like the handsome organized man he was known to be while she on the other hand looked like a dog's vomit.“I don't see why I shouldn't " her voice was raspy. That was the effect of crying her eyes the previous night. “The last time I checked, we are going to a divo
“While I thought about coping with the divorce and everything, I was also thinking of how to take care of the baby growing inside me” she touched her stomach as she turned to look at Xavier. "Yes my love, I am 6 weeks gone” she blurted out and watched as Xavier's eyes widened in shock."Oh my God,” Daphne squealed."Did you know this?” Lucas nudged Xavier who appeared too stunned to speak?"How the fuck do you think I'd know?”."You are the husband duh,” Erica said with a chuckle.Amelia walked towards Xavier and he gave her a warm hug. A child was the least he expected, but he didn't care. As long as it was coming from Amelia.He kissed her and she kissed him back. It was a short kiss, but she still felt the fire rippling inside of her."Aww,” Erica awed. "Now all this makes me wanna have a baby”."We could always arrange that,” Lucas saidPeter who stood by the side with a smile on his face and a glass of drink in his hands was tapped by Wendy.“Oh, Wendy" he called out, taking a goo
A/Nso this is the end guys. Thank you all for sticking till this chapter. Five years later.Amelia took hasty steps as she rolled her bags down the airport. Her heart was filled with ease to the point of her thinking it was going to explode. She tried to keep her smile in check but it was all over the place. She reminisced the last time she saw them and that doubled her happinessShe kept thinking of wrapping her arms around Xavier's. It had been A year since she last saw him and it felt like forever. She thought about Kingsley, her son and the smile widened.“Hey watch it" an angry old lady scolded her.Amelia gave off a nervous smile, but the woman glared at her as she walked past her.“Jeez, y'all need to tone down the makeup a bit" muttered Amelia under her breath. She was talking about the loud lipstick the lady had on her lips.She continued rolling her box with her ecstasy not reduced a bit.“Mum!" she heard from afar and her heart leaped for joy. She turned to the direction t
Amelia;Amelia wiped the excess sweat that dripped from her face, at the same time, tucking her Brunette, frizzy hair beneath her ear. Her hands moved all over the place as fast as possible, washing dishes, rinsing, drying, and handing them over to Stephanie, all at the same time. Her thin lips curved into a smile as she grabbed the last dish on the sink, washing it with her heart filled with ecstasy. That was the feeling she got whenever she was dealing with the last dish. She would have time to sit for a while to rest her aching legs, waiting patiently for the next set of dirty dishes to be dropped. As she was about to wipe the dish dry, another set of dishes were dumped on the sink. Her euphoria instantly turned into fury and irritation. Nevertheless, she exhaled rapidly, picked up the first dish with a massive lump in her throat, and began scrubbing off the stains from it. “Hurry!” Amelia heard from behind, causing her to jolt in fear, which resulted in her splashing a bit of so
Xavier;He stared with casual demeanor at the lady in front of him taking seductive strides towards him with the sly grin not leaving her face, the girl- what’s her name? he couldn't remember The Lady knew she had to do a good job if she wanted him to herself. She tangled a piece of her hair against her index finger as she bit her lips, looking intently at him. She couldn't wait to run her hands through his well-groomed taper fade haircut, messing it up to her satisfaction. His green eyes held indifference, but that didn't stop her. She had a mission and was determined to pull through.She grabbed him by the tie as she giggled slightly. She spread her legs, placing her thigh against his lap. When she was finally settled, she began to glide slowly and precisely, making sure he was leaning against the chair. His face still held nothing. She seems to begin to panic slightly. This was an opportunity that was finally given to her, but she was messing it up. XAVIER FELT NOTHING. The feeli
Amelia looked at him in skepticism as he kept on going. The offer was tantalizing, but she wasn't buying it. She needed money, that was her ultimate priority, but she couldn't just jump on the offer because it has d good terms.“So, what do you think?” the gentleman in front of her asked, snapping his fingers in her face, bringing her back from little doubt paradise. He must have realized that she wasn't listening.“Who is getting married?” She asked. That had to be the first statement that made its way out of her mouth after a long time of silence.“Xavier Garcia”“And he wants a wife, only for a year, why?”“Reasons best known to him,” he shrugged at her“No sexual intimacy?”“I already stated that”“Why me and how did you find me?”“I have been to 16 restaurants in the past 2 days”“Searching for a girl?”“Exactly”“Why didn't you pick one from the sixteen restaurants you went to”“It pretty hard to convince people who live in California”“And you just think I looked stupid enough”
Chapter 4****************Amelia looked down at her worn-out jean trousers as his peering eyes were boring holes into her. She never really ceased to amaze herself. A couple of days back, she had been screaming negatively regarding the whole deal, but here she was, waiting patiently for her supposed interview.She hadn't told anyone about it. Scrap that, she didn't have anybody to tell about her new move. Apart from Wendy, her best friend who didn't know anything about it. No family member to take advice from and no one to give her a motherly view regarding the contract, judging from the fact that her mother died in an accident that occurred 10 years ago. Amelia acted okay, but deep down, she still felt the sting that the wounds in her heart brought. The memory was still fresh in her head because she was in the car when the accident happened. It was raining that day. Her mum wasn't with her glasses, and that was partly Amelia's fault. ****Flashback******"Amelia, please grab my glass
“It's a marriage, and you don't expect me to jump into it without at least knowing anything about it” He leaned back on his couch, taking a sip from his glass. Bacardi, to be precise. “Everything will be stated in the contract” “The contract isn't enough. I would like to know more about you”. “I'm Xavier Garcia, I assume you already know” “No, I want to know more than just your name” she sighed. He was being impossible and that wasn't helping. “You haven't even asked to know anything about me. I thought this was supposed to be an interview”. “No one stated that it was going to be an interview. The offer clearly stated marriage, and you meet my standards”. “I thought you said I wasn't your type” she smirked, squaring her shoulder “And you still aren't” “But…” She sighed in frustration. “Never mind. How will the marriage take place?”. “As soon as you sign the contract, you would be moving in with me, and we shall begin the marriage plans. You would have to see my parents first,
