Amelia’s POV
I was so angry as I dashed out of the restaurant, heading to my house. My head ached so badly as I thought about why I just had to meet Eddie at that moment and to think that she would be working for him made my anger more intensified.
I quickly hailed a taxi to get home to gather my thoughts.
“Golden apartment, please," I said to the driver. The old man drove slowly which pisses me off every second.
"Step on it, please," I said to him.
We finally arrived at my apartment. I paid him instantly and ran into my apartment, locked my door behind and quickly ran to my bed. I laid back and thought about how lovely Eddie was to me six years back and how hurt I was when he broke up with me.
Memories began to replay in my mind and my thoughts slowed down as I began to get lost in the past. I had seen him around at the university a few times but I never had the chance to talk to him.
Eddie stood out effortlessly in the sea of students at the university. His commanding presence, paired with his remarkable height, elevate him above the rest. Towering over most, he possessed an innate charisma that drew people, mostly girls, toward him like moths to a flame. His features, a blend of strength and gentleness, were accentuated by his deep, expressive eyes that held a glint of mystery.
His athletic build, chiseled jawline, and the confident way he carried himself made heads turn wherever he went. The term "demigod" was an understatement when describing Eddie. He wasn't just attractive; he exuded a magnetic charm that seemed to enchant everyone he encountered.
His auburn hair wasn't always perfectly styled; sometimes it would be a bit messy, and he'd jokingly run his hand through it, grinning sheepishly. He had this infectious laughter that could light up any room, coupled with a knack for making even the most mundane moments exciting.
He was always involved in various volunteer programs, dedicating his time to helping the community and supporting causes close to his heart. His genuine care for others was evident in the way he interacted with everyone, making each person feel seen and valued. Despite the fact that he came from a rich family, he was so humble and I was also attracted to him because of his personality.
I was finally able to talk to him for the first time when I saw him sitting on a bench under a tree, looking so down which was unlike him. However our conversation didn't last as my friend, Blair, that I was waiting for called out my name and I had to leave.
Our second encounter was at a local bookstore, where our fingers brushed while reaching for the same novel. Our eyes locked, and within moments, and to my surprise he struck up a conversation first and our conversation lasted for hours. His infectious laughter and genuine interest in my passions had instantly drawn me closer to him.
When it was getting late, I had to leave for my house and he offered to take me home. We also exchanged our contact information before he zoomed off. I was unable to sleep that day as I wasn’t really sure about what I felt for him. I explained to Blair about whom I met and she was so jealous that I was so close to the hot and the most handsome man every lady in school would do anything to have. I told her about my feelings for him and then she advised me to ask him to take me on a date and if he agreed to do so, definitely he was also interested in me.
“Are you sure he would like to date someone like me?” I asked Blair.
“What did you mean by someone like you? You are also beautiful, intelligent but the only problem I have with you is your sharp mouth. Aside from that, you guys are a perfect match,” she said.
I rolled my eyes at her and then went to my room. I stared at my phone, checking if he had sent me a message or called me. I waited so long for his call but he didn’t call and without knowing it, I slept off.
I woke up the next day and the first thing I did was to check my phone. I was so happy when I saw that Eddie had sent me a message. I checked the content and he asked if I would be free that evening.
I quickly replied to him, telling him that I would be free after class. His message came immediately again, sending me the location and time to meet. I hurriedly stood up from my bed, dashed off to my bathroom to get ready for class. I carefully selected my clothes, putting on a short red gown, matched with a black purse and heels. I packed my hair in a messy hair bun and completed my outfit with a simple make up. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror and when I was satisfied with my look, I hurried out of my room, bidding Blair goodbye and explaining to her that I had got a date that evening.
“Go girl,” she said.
I smiled at her and then exited our apartment. I attended my lectures and during the whole day, I was so happy and my mind was with Eddie.
It was finally time for us to meet, so I quickly hailed a taxi and went to the address he gave me. When I arrived, I was astounded by the massive restaurant in front of me. It was stunning, and then my gaze was drawn to Eddie, who was standing by the door. He approached me, spreading his arms for a hug.
I was shy as he wrapped his big arm around me. He let me go and then led me in. I was even more surprised to learn that he had rented out the entire place to me. His question caught me off guard as we sat waiting for our food.
“Will you be my girl, Amelia?”
Amelia’s POVI was so happy when I heard him asking me to be his girl and I quickly accepted his proposal. Accepting his proposal marked a significant moment, one that paved the way for my first kiss. His gentleness during that moment lingered in my memory, making it a cherished experience. It was a delicate dance of feelings—a step into a new chapter, a moment that lingered vividly in my heart, leaving an indelible mark of affection and the thrill of embracing something new and special.The moment unfolded with a blend of excitement and nervousness. As our lips met, his tenderness enveloped me, making the experience both exhilarating and sweetly serene but then our sweet moment was ruined by the chef. The chef cleared his throat informing us that our food was ready. I was a bit embarrassed when the chef caught us kissing and I blushed so hard.A tantalizing aroma of roasted meats, freshly baked bread, and exotic spices hung in the air. The chef artfully places platters of food on the
Amelia’s POVI spent my days going back and forth from work to my apartment, ignoring Eddie's calls and messages inviting me to his place. My boss was always asking how I knew Eddie, and all I could say was that he was just a friend.It was finally the day for the event and Eddie and I had chatted the previous night, informing me about our flight details, telling me that we would be taking off by 10 a.m. I thanked him and then hung up immediately. I woke up and hurriedly took my bath, my mind racing as I thought If I would be able to handle such a big event without causing any trouble. I ignored the thoughts and quickly got out of the bathroom.I put on the red Gown I had chosen the previous night to avoid getting too late to the airport. I looked at the mirror to check myself out, and I decided on just applying mascara, eye liner, and chapstick. I then placed my hair in a bun as usual and had to check myself out again.Nothing too fancy, just something to make me feel comfortable, c
Amelia’s POVI looked at Eddie who was also shocked, probably at the sudden revelation from his child. He held her daughter closely, telling her that he needed to talk to me. “I can explain myself, Amelia,” he replied to me.“Just give me the chance to explain myself,” he added. I only stared at him, almost tearing up because I was so hurt. I had chosen to remain single ever since he broke up with me hoping that he would come back to me one day but instead he went ahead to get married and then have a child or probably children. I stared at the cute little thing tugging on his trousers and my heart felt so heavy just because I imagined that she could be my daughter with Eddie.I knelt down to her level, almost in tears and then asked her to come closer. She smiled at me and then came running to me. I hugged her tightly before asking her name.“My name… is Chloe,” she said, shyly looking so adorable.“Who are you?” She asked.“Me?” I asked as her questions came as a shock because I h
Eddie’s POVI was so sad as I watched Amelia got into the cab angrily, ignoring me. I brought out my phone and dialed her number but she wasn’t picking up.Fuck! I muttered to myself.I wanted to apologized to her for what I did in the past and also explained to him about my present situation but she wasn’t ready to listen to me. I walked back into the hall, took Chloe to her nanny and then went to continued my discussion with my guests as it would be rude if I left the hall without proper goodbye. I was finally able to excused myself from the guests, asking James, my personal assistant to take over. I returned back to my house with Chloe and her nanny. “Dad, mom said she is coming back this weekend,” Chloe said to me immediately I took her to her room. Hearing about her mother, Jenna, infuriated me but I maintained my composure in the presence of Chloe. I forced a smile and then bent down to her level.“Are you that excited to meet your mom?” I asked her.She nodded her head, smil
Amelia’s POVI was taken aback because I had never seen my father become so enraged the way he was when I told him about Eddie. “I don’t want to see you with him ever again, Amelia,” he warned me sternly.“I won’t dad,” I replied to him curtly.He sat beside his wife, still irritated. He turned to me and warned me once more to Istay away from Eddie.“I’m not sure if you are aware of what happened between me and his father two years ago. He was a big part of why my company went bankrupt,” he explained.Looking and feeling uninterested about what actually happened between him and Eddie’s father, I was more determined not to ever cross paths with Eddie again.“I promise to stay away from him, dad,” I assured him. He felt a bit relieved when I made such a promise to him and then mom smiled at him, telling him to calm down. I was so delighted when I saw her smile and so was my dad as well. He started feeding her some fruits and the sight was so beautiful. Just then Blair came in and I qui
Amelia’s POVI was so happy for Blair that she would be having a new family of her own after the death of her parents seven years ago. I glanced at her and I could see the happiness written all over face. One could easily tell that she was in love and not just with anyone but to the love of her life. I turned my attention back to the surroundings and I could see some changes around. Just then she made a stop at an intersection. My eyes wandered around and just then landed on the biggest building in New York City, Stark Investment.I stiffened at the sight of it. I turned to Blair who also noticed the change in my mood as I asked her to start the car and drive away from there.“Are you okay, Amelia?” She asked.“I’m fine, Blair. Let’s just get out of here,” I said to her, struggling to keep my eyes from going back to the building. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat and cursed silently as my eyes eventually and inevitably started back to the building once again.“Why the rush?” She aske
Eddie’s POVI was still staring at Amelia’s pictures admiring her beauty. . She was standing beside me in a picture, smiling heartily at me with an air of confidence, her tall and curvy silhouette drawing me closer and can even caught anyone attention even from a distance. Her long, wavy blonde hair cascaded gracefully down her shoulders, catching the light and adding a radiant glow to her overall appearance.Her striking blue eyes sparkled with warmth and enthusiasm, framed by perfectly arched eyebrows that accentuated her facial features. Her complexion was flawless, radiating a healthy and natural glow that complemented her beauty. A subtle touch of makeup highlighted her features, enhancing the already captivating charm of her face.Amelia’s wardrobe exuded both style and sophistication. She was dressed in a chic ensemble that accentuated her curves, showcasing her tall and statuesque figure. The fabric of her outfit clung tastefully to her frame, emphasizing her natural grace and
Eddie’s POVI stared at the clothes for a while, nervously hoping they would do. As I caught myself straightening another non-existent crease in the shirt I had planned to wear, I chuckled to myself. I had not felt that excited and jittery in so long, specifically six years. The only time I had had such feelings was when Chloe was about to be born. Other than that, my life had been miserably dull and Chloe had been the only light in my dark world.But that will soon come to an end, I assured myself. I continued with my task, chuckling occasionally as I thought of Amelia and the way she had acted towards me that day we met. She was just so adorably cute, and the best thing about that is that she did not even know that she was. My chuckles died down as I thought of how beautiful she was now. Amelia had always been beautiful and while we were still in college, she had that subtle pretty girl next door look. But when I saw her in her boss's office, my first thought had been nothing… My mi
