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
Amelia’s POVLet’s meet at 5:00p.m at Midvale Restaurant. Is that fine by you?I woke up and saw Eddie’s message immediately when I was awake but I ignored it. I thought about replying immediately, but I hurriedly put my phone down on the bed the very moment I opened the keyboard. I refuse to be that silly Amelia who once always replied immediately and always put him first. Besides, he is nothing to me now, just a troublesome client that I have to deal with. I took a deep breath and continued, as I tried to mentally prepare myself for the day and what was to come. You are strong, you are professional, you are hardworking, you will surely get there and things will be fine. Your mom will be fine, your career will be fine and you will even treat Eddie with nothing but professional respect. And after this, you will be free of him and certainly glad to be. You've got this, Amelia!I got up from my bed and began to carry out my morning routines, journaling and a little bit of yoga, wishin
Amelia’s POVEddie's words rang over and over again in my mind on the way back to the hospital. I stared with unseeing eyes at the passing scenery through the window of the cab, my heart beating painfully in my chest.He had broken up with me so cruelly. Did he think one measly apology in a restaurant would resolve that?I scoffed inwardly and tried to convince myself that what I was feeling at that moment was just anger and distaste at Eddie's actions, and not sorrow and regret for what could have been. The cab driver turned on the radio and music immediately began playing. I immediately recognised the song as 'Lover' by Taylor Swift. Tears began to burn in my eyes as the song brought back memories of when Eddie and I had been in love and feeling on top of the world. I immediately had a flashback.(Flashback)'Babe?'I was staring at the screen of my laptop, frustrated by my brain's stubbornness. I had a paper due soon and no matter what I did or wrote, it did not seem enough to me.
Eddie’s POVHearing the indifference in Amelia's voice when she politely accepted my apology made me deflate inwardly. I braced myself for her next words and I had been right to. Immediately after claiming that she had accepted my apology, she went on to dash my hopes of us ever reconciling. I was so sad when Amelia left me alone at the restaurant after telling me that she didn’t want to have anything to do with me again. I stared after her as she walked away from the table, taking my heart with her and dropping it on the floor outside the restaurant. After watching her leave, I remained at the table, staring aimlessly into space until I reluctantly left the place to go back home. On the drive home, the weight of the unresolved tension between Amelia and me hung heavily in the air. The streetlights blurred into streaks of light as I drove, my mind replaying the conversation over and over again. The ache in my chest intensified with each passing mile.I couldn't shake off the feeling o
Amelia’s POVMy heart thumped loudly over and over again until it was all I could hear as I stared at the bills that had been sent to me on my phone. My ears began to ring and tears of frustration welled up in my eyes as I wondered how I would be able to pay off the bills. My eyes grew bigger and bigger as I counted the number of zeros on the receipts. Breathing heavily, I exited the email app and went straight to the calculator app on my phone to calculate the total."Oh my goodness," The soft words escaped my lips as I finished calculating the total. The tears I had been struggling to hold back eventually flowed over and I rapidly wiped them off. Blaire approached me at that moment and her small smile changed to a look of concern as she saw my face.“What’s wrong, Amelia? When did you get back? Are you okay?” She asked.I stared blankly at her, unable to help the tears that flowed freshly at the concerned tone of her voice.“What should I do, Blair?” I sobbed out, hopelessness wash
