President's Wife

I sat in the wheelchair in which I was stuck in the holiday home. I was wearing patient clothes and my sad look looked out the window to the outside. I just couldn't believe her life had taken such a turn. I had been lying underneath since the accident and the doctors had done their best to save my life. What made me even sadder was that my family turned their back off from me. They sent me to one of the Hendersons' cottages as it was a shame to them what had happened to me. I had wished my life differently, especially with Nathan. He had been my brother, my boyfriend, and had been my fiancé for some time. But he had turned his back to me too. I was devastated that she had no one left. I was alone. I had long been aware that no one thought of me or paid any attention to her. I was lonely in this house. Nobody except me there was no servant in this house. I did everything myself, the food, the cleaning, and even things that I needed help with, I did it on my own. Nobody was worried about her because every single one of them didn't want her. I heard footsteps. Someone came back to check on her. The door opened slowly. I saw from the window glass who it was and I was correct in her guess. It was none other than my fiancé Nathan Henderson and my best friend Victoria Lambert. They came into the room where I was but I did not give any glimpse at all. I kept staring out the window. Tried to ignore them. "Amelia! My best friend" Victoria spoke to me with mockery. "You know Nathan and I are here to give you some good news. Nathan and I are getting married!" What Victoria said to me shocked me deeply. How could it be? Weren't Nathan and I engaged? How can he marry someone else? That must be a lie of hers. It was a lie. I turned halfway with the wheelchair to show you my emotions. Since living alone, I have been able to hide my emotions from everyone else. But I disguised my feelings in front of them to learn the truth from them. "What do you mean you're going to get married?" my voice was broken, although I didn't want to admit to myself the whole thing hurt me very much. Victoria smirked. She liked my reaction to the news she gave me. Nathan, on the other hand, just stood next to my so-called best friend and did nothing but watch. "You are stupid enough to believe that you would marry Nathan. Did you think the Henderson's would allow Nathan to marry you? The whole thing was just a farce to organize the wedding for both of us. And the day after tomorrow will be. Then we will get married." She laughed angrily. I looked from her to Nathan. He laughed with Victoria. That said he agreed with her. I thought he would love me with all his heart. He only played with me, with my feelings, and me. How could I be so stupid that I thought that my heart was now hard as a stone? I had still felt for him but now I was devastated by the news they said to me. I've been chasing a lie all my life that wasn't even the truth. I can not accept this. "Amelia, I just pretended to be your best friend to get close to Nathan. You immediately believed what I told you. In truth, Nathan doesn't love you. Tell her Nathan!" Victoria urged Nathan. He looked at her with an inexpressible expression. He turned his back on her, "I've never loved you and never will. You're just someone that the Henderson's took you in the house. After you don't even remember who you are, we took you in with us." The truth hurt. Of all people, he was the only person I had ever loved. He had broken my heart now more than he had destroyed my world. Without me noticing, Victoria had sprinkled the whole house with gasoline. She took the lighter out of her pocket then lit it. "That is our goodbye to you!" she threw the lighter on the floor where the floor slowly caught fire. Nathan and Victoria had left the house before the fire started. When the house slowly got on fire I could not do anything to help myself out. I knew I was going to die, but the sad thing was that no one would mourn me. The room caught a lot of smoke that I couldn't breathe and my vision began to blur. My eyesight became more and more blurred and slowly my vision came and went again and again, while I coughed again and again to get air. My eyesight went black and I knew I was dying. But I had one thought before I died that if I had one wish then it would be to take revenge on those people who hurt me. I struggled for air to breathe. My heart was hardly beating anymore. Boom... Boom... Boo... B... .... A few days later Nathan was sitting in his office. He was busy with some upcoming projects for other companies. There was a knock on the door "come in" his assistant came in and gave a certificate of something. "This is the death certificate of your fiancee, Mr. Henderson." she waited until he gave her the confirmation whether everything was arranged as he wanted it. He gave her confirmation with a nod. "You can leave." the assistant nodded then left Nathan's office and went on with her work. Nathan looked at the death certificate. He was now relieved but somehow guilty too. He loved her for some time but in reality, he loved Victoria more than she did, which is why he would marry Victoria too. They would then live happily together. I didn't understand where I was in this dark place. Everything was black and dark around me for an instant bus I saw a bright light coming towards me. The light came closer and closer until I was enveloped in this light. I unhurriedly opened my eyes but saw everything unclear I closed my eyes opened them again. In my blurry sight, I saw a black-haired young man in a room. I thought I just dreamt it closed my eyes too then opened it once more where I had a better sight around my environment. I looked around the room where I was but was shocked inside when I saw Nathan sitting beside me in the hospital bed. Why was Nathan here by me? Didn't I die? I did die I knew it but how could it be that I was alive? Nathan saw that I was awake "you're awake!" he sounded relieved that I woke up. I quickly got up from the bed went straight to the restroom where I closed the door behind me because Nathan was behind me. "Amelia! Open the door! Are you okay?" Nathan was worried about my reaction after I woke up. I tried to calm down to figure out what happens to me just now. After I calmed down a little bit and opened the door to go again to the bed. I did not say anything I was just quiet without given a glance at him. Nathan looked worried as he looked at me so quietly and ignoring him. He was certainly trying to think of a way to wrap me around his fingers, once again. I had to be clear to myself that I couldn't allow myself to be exposed. I had to act like I was just that I would start today for myself, my life, and my future to fight for that I needed money. I could only have that when I was working. I then acted like my old self for the first that no one had any suspicions about my behavior. "Amelia, are you okay?" he was concerned about my condition because of my behavior before. I came out of my thoughts looked at him when I mumbled 'yes' his face looked relieved. "Do you remember what happened?" I thought about what he asked, now when I reckoned what happened to me before, I could remember. flashback I and the Hendersons were at a party that was hosted by the Andersons. They celebrated the collaboration with the two companies and they also announced that Nathan and Victoria would take over the company when the time had come in front of the guests and the media. After that announcement, the media took photos of the Henderson and Lambert families together and single photos of Nathan and Victoria. I in the end was standing like an outsider of the family and the event. I felt so ashamed, it was a slap in the face, also showed me that they gave me a message like 'you will never be a part of this family.' But I would never give them the satisfaction to hurt me, to destroy me. My hate for them that I had inside me flowing through me. But I tried not to show them that they hurt me through and through. I went to them to congratulate them officially in front of everyone. They thought with that they broke me into pieces, at first it was like that but the anger took over me for a second, I tried to calm myself down. "Congratulations you two!" I did not show any hints of my hurt from the outside but inside it hurts like hell. I had a neutral tone when I congratulate them. Both families looked at me with disdain when I was standing right in front of them. Nathan muttered 'thanks!' to me while Victoria had a smirk on the corner of her lips. She wanted to signal to me that she had won against me. She wanted to embarrass me in front of Nathan other people in society. I turned around and was going to my table when someone bumped into me, I couldn't keep my balance and fell into the pool but before I fell into the pool I could see who the person had been. Then I fell into the pool and bump my head on the tiles of the pool, then lost my consciousness. flashback ends Sierra Lambert, you are so done. Sierra was Victoria's little sister who was two years younger than Victoria. She is also vicious like her sister plus a copy of her sister but the difference between them both was that Sierra was a little dump also naive too. She was nothing compared to her sister Victoria, just a minion of her nothing else. But one thing was sure she will gonna pay for that. In my previous life, she was also one of the people who hurt me too much. She treated me like a maid more than that like trash. I just pity my old myself because I was too naive to believe them directly. I should have been more mindful around me but I did not and I can not change what happened but I can change what would happen in the future. I came out of my thoughts when he was still waiting for my answer to his question. I just stared blankly at him. He wanted to take my hand but quickly withdrew my hand from his before he could hold it properly? A few minutes later the doctor came in to check her again and then released her. Of course again thanks to me but nobody appreciated it. Not even the Hendersons recognized my hard work and effort. They will pay for what they did to me. Every single person of them. "Yeah." was just my answer to him nothing else. After that, I looked at the window into the beautiful night with shining stars. Nathan on the other hand felt first helpless but then thought that I changed a little bit. It was odd to him that I did not talk to him that much like before. It did not stop him to talk to me in this awkward silence. After a while, the attending doctor came in and carried out a few final examinations because he was then able to discharge me so that I could then go home. I just thanked the doctor for his work to take care of me. I signed the papers before I could let Nathan do it because I didn't want him to take care of me. From now on I wouldn't let anyone hurt me as they did. "Let me take you home," Nathan stated to me. I just started at him without any emotion to him but seriously could he be more annoying than usual. I started to get annoyed by him again it made me want to throw a punch on his face, I knew that would not solve anything so I let it be. "No need to. I can go just by myself." But it looked like that he would not let it happen before I do as he said as I did in the past. Nathan did not listen to me and dragged me to his car while I tried to break myself free. I was so exhausted that I could not even fight against him, that incident drain me a lot of energy. We got home, I got out of the car, closed the door behind me, and walked straight into the house. I climbed a few steps where I was greeted by a worried Victoria. Of course, that was just a mask she wore on her face to mislead the elderly Henderson family members and the others. She came up to me "Amelia are you feeling a little better after the incident" She put her hand on my upper arm while pretending to be worried but in truth, she was just disappointed that I was alive and not drowned. "I'm very well." I hid my true feelings from her and played the naive girl she knew. I knew she was trying to do something so she would blame me. I knew her plan, but I let her hurt herself. I withdrew my arm from her hand took the stairs back went to the right side of the stairs where I was standing and then took the rest of the stairs in the same instant a lot of Victoria off the stairs. Nathan, his parents, and grandparents rushed to Victoria, who was lying on the set of stairs without being exposed. It was a trick from Victoria to frame me, I was aware of that.
