CHAPTER 3-AMELIA
1104 Words
AMELIA'S POV
This man sitting down here saved my life, something none of my family members couldn't do.
Instead, they wanted me dead or sold as a s*x slave.
"What a life!!" I said to myself while in deep thought.
After minutes of silence between the both of us, I decided to speak first.
"Mr. Paul, or should I call you Patrol Paul? "I said and we both laughed.
" You can call me Patrol Paul when we are alone and Mr. Paul when we are outside because people know me as Mr. Paul and we wouldn't want anyone to know my true identity. "He said to me.
" Yes. That's true "
" So you were really the one that saved me." I asked to be sure. A driver or, I would say, a bodyguard saved me without expecting anything from anyone.
"I never knew good people still existed." I thought.
"Thanks to you am alive. I am really grateful for everything. " I said gratefully.
" You are welcome, Miss Lopez."
" Your father helped me when I had nothing, so it was time for me to return the favor. "
I just smiled at him. I didn't even know what to say again. I was speechless.
" So the old couple I stayed with are your parents." I asked him.
"Yes, they are my parents. I didn't know where to take you, so that was the only place I could think of and my parents were happy having you there."
"They wanted someone to stay with them since I am their only son "
"I see the resemblance. That's why I asked."
I said to him, making him smile.
"Yeah, people say that a lot." He said to me, smiling.
"So what is the next step to take?" I asked him, so I could know what I should be doing and what I shouldn't be doing, so I don't make a mistake.
"Waiting for your orders, Boss." He said to me.
I was surprised when he called me that, but I didn't show it. But I knew why he addressed me that way,
"We are now talking business."
I sighed.
"Tomorrow I will call you and let you know what I want you to do for me "
"As you can see, I just came back, so I wouldn't want to spoil my mood concerning matters about these people.
"Tomorrow Mr. Paul." I said to him with my eyes closed.
"OK Boss, I will take my leave now, so you can rest." He said to me and stood up to leave.
Then I remembered something I wanted to tell him.
" Mr. Paul, I want to ask you something."
" Okay, go ahead." He said to me, looking at me more intensely.
" I want to go see my friend Emma tomorrow. Hope that's okay. "
" I just want to make sure she won't be a threat to us, because I don't trust
anyone."
"Yes, you can go see her. I investigated if she joined hands with these people to harm you, but I found nothing."
"She has been asking after you ever since she heard you were dead, but I gave her a deaf ear. "
" But even if you go see her, don't tell her anything about our plan, or about how you escaped. Find something else to tell her, till we are sure we can trust her." He said to me like a father protecting his child.
Now I miss my dad a lot, and I wish I could see my Mom, even though I don't know my Mom's whereabouts.
"OK, I will do that. "I replied.
" Do you need anything? Should I send for food?" He asked, concerned.
" No, I don't need anything for now. When I go to meet my friend, Emma, I will find something to eat." I said to him, totally exhausted, I was yawning.
"You must be very tired. I will take my leave now."
"And don't hesitate to call me with the number you used earlier, if you need anything. "
He said to me.
" Yeah, I will." I responded.
" And please, where am I going to stay? "
I just remembered that, because this beautiful condo can't be mine.
" You are already staying at your house. "
" Wow." I whispered to myself, so he wouldn't hear it.
"OK thanks." I said.
You are welcome "
" And the phone I gave you won't leave a trace of anything you do. "
He said and stood up to leave, and as he was about to go, I said something to him….
" I want everything concerning them, everyone connected to them.
" Everything that has happened in their lives in the past seven years since I left."
" Every single detail that could be of help to us "
I said suddenly, I didn't know why I wanted it now, instead of waiting until tomorrow.
But one thing is certain, I didn't come here to play around, I can't sit back and watch them enjoy what belongs to me. They will pay for what I have gone through over the past seven years.
I am sure he must be shocked, but I turned my back to him, avoiding his expression.
"Your wish is my command, Boss," he said, and left immediately.
I ordered takeout for dinner that night. When I was done eating, I went up to my room to sleep. I was happy because I am going to see Emma, my friend , tomorrow.
" I can't wait to see her," I said, and slept off.
**********
THE NEXT MORNING
I woke up feeling energetic.
" Now I have the energy to go out. "
I said to myself.
After taking my clothes out of my bags, I arranged them in the beautiful wardrobe I never thought I would have again.
I was so happy.
In about thirty minutes, I was done with everything I needed to do, then I went down from my room and sat on the couch in the living room, so I could call Emma.
I dialed her number to see if she would pick an unknown number, and luckily she picked it.
" Hello, who is this?" Emma said to me over the phone.
I couldn't speak, I was speechless from hearing her voice for over seven years.
" Hello "
She said again, that when I found my voice, I decided to speak to her.
"Hey," I said to her.
"Who is this please." She asked.
"AMELIA."
