Chapter three:The king’s family
The next morning Amelia stood in front of the mirror, wondering if she had made the biggest mistake of her life.
Today, she would meat Alexander king’s family.
And soon, everyone would believe she was his wife.
She took a deep breath.
“It's only one year”she whispered.
A black car arrived outside her house shortly after.
A black car arrived stepped out.
”miss Rose ?”
“Yes”
“Mr.Alexander sent me”
Amelia grabbed her bag.
“Of course he did”
When she arrived at king mansion,
She couldn't help staring.
The enormous house looked more like a palace than a home.
Before she could knock, the doors opened.
Alexander was standing there.
He looked at her for a moment.
“You're late”.
Amelia frowned.
Good morning to you too.
Something almost resembling a smile appeared on his face.
“Come inside”.
She followed him into the mansion.
Several people were already waiting in the living room.
An elegant older woman stood first.
“Alexander”
“Mother “
The woman turned toward Amelia.
Her eyes immediately became cold.
“So this is her?”
Amelia swallowed.
Alexander place a hand lightly on the back of the chair beside him.
“My fiancee “
His mother started at her.
“You’re getting married?”
“Yes “
“When “
“Soon “
The silence that followed was uncomfortable.
Then a young woman sitting on the sofa suddenly stood.
She looked at Amelia carefully.
“You”
Amelia turned toward her.
“Have we met?”
The young woman didn't answer.
Instead, she looked at Alexander.
“You brought her here?”
Alexander’s expression hardened.
“That's enough, Claire”
Claire laughed bitterly.
“You really expect everyone to accept this?”.
Amelia looked between them.
“What is going on?.
Then an older man walked into the room.
He looked directly at Amelia,
And the moment he saw her face,he stopped.
His expression changed completely.
“You’re Rose’s daughter “.
Amelia stopped.
“Who?”
The man’s face went pale.
“Your father”.
Alexander suddenly looked at him.
“Uncle victor, what did you just say?.
Victor didn't answer.
He continued staring at Amelia.
As if he had just seen a ghost.
Amelia's heart began pounding.
”what do you know about my father?”
Victor finall looked away.
“Nothing”
But Am
elia knew immediately.
He was lying.
And judging by Alexander’ expression
Alexander's knew it too.
