3050 Words
Arrived at the hospital the Hendersons and the Lambert's were waiting for the doctor to end the examination. While we were waiting Victoria's parents were giving side glances to me. Mrs. Lambert gave me a lot of ok that could kill someone to the ground if she could. I didn't even know why I was here waiting with them. I knew that Victoria was alright because she did it once. She was good at acting in front of her parents, the Hendersons, and Nathan but in front of me, that would not even work on me. I could see that Mrs. Lambert couldn't take it anymore attacked me with her venom words. "It's because of you b***h that my daughter is right now in this condition!" I didn't show any reaction to her words or behavior towards her. It was fun to me that everyone gave me the guilt even it wasn't my fault but she was accused of Victoria's acting innocent and naive in front of them. A few minutes the doctor came out of the treatment room. Victoria's parents immediately fled to him to find out the result. "Doctor! Is it serious? Is my daughter alright? Can you say anything?" Mrs. Lambert asked him before the doctor could say anything to them. "Miss Lambert has a slight concussion, which is not bad, otherwise everything is fine. She should only rest a few days, after that she will be better." After his explanation, he went away. Before I could go on my way, I was stopped by Mrs. Lambert and my adoptive mother. "Where do you think where you are going!" Victoria's mother yelled at me like a hyena. You can't even stop this woman in her life from behaving like a disturbed woman, but as a normal person, I think this woman is just as disturbed as my adoptive mother. "Since Victoria is fine, I'll go now." I looked at them with self-confidence and strength in my face without being afraid, as I once did. I wondered how so stupid and naive could be and not even notice it sooner. I had never been so naive and stupid otherwise, it was only my fault that I fell in love with Nathan in my previous life. But this time I will not do that again. I will not let myself fall for him again. I will not fall in love again. "You will not leave here until you apologize to Victoria!" Mrs. Lambert grabbed my arm and even wanted me to kneel in front of her to apologize in front of everyone. "It's not even my fault that she fell from the stairs, it was her clumsiness." I was so angry at this that I had to bear the consequences that b***h try to accuse me. Damn! I tried to calm down and didn't let them see any attitude. I left the hospital after that. At the Henderson mansion, the grandmother, mother, and father of Nathan were already waiting for me in the living room. I didn't have the nerve to talk with them. "You jinx how dare you do that to the innocent Victoria!" grandmother Henderson scream at her out of resentment. "Innocent? Are you a blind old woman? Victoria is not that innocent as you all think." The boldness shocked everyone in the room. You can be so shocked like you want, I would love that too much and I will do that every time to see the real Amelia and not the naive girl you thought. I will take my revenge on all of you but you will not be aware of it until it will too late for you guys to realize it. Mrs. Henderson did not wait to let anyone talk, so she gave her mind to me which did not surprise me even a bit. "You should be thankful to us that we took you on to the Henderson family without us you would be nothing right now. Maybe just a whore." I just laughed at her comment. Is she that dumb that she thought the Henderson family raised me than she was that stupid? "you did nothing other than treating me like a servant than as an adoptive daughter? So everything I come so far was with my hard-earned money and my intelligence to achieve all the things that I achieved." I left them and took the belongings that are not belonging to the Henderson family. I didn't need their money or belongings to achieve my goals and dreams, I pretty did everything with my strength and capability. I took my suitcase with me when I left the room. I didn't look back at the room. When I went the stairs down I saw that Nathan was back. He was talking to his parents and his grandmother. Everyone was staring at me on point when I was at the end of the stairs. "Amelia." I hear Nathan calling at me with bitterness in his voice. "Where do you think you are going you, jinx. You have to apologize to the Lamberts for what you have done to Victoria." Grandmother Henderson announced to me. I turned around to face them one by one with a blank expression, which they thought I would as what they said. But it was not. "You're all fool when you think I would apologize to Victoria. I didn't do anything to her, so basically it was herself that fell the stairs that show I don't have to do anything with it." I looked at them without any guilt to them instead they should be guilty of themselves what they had done to me. They owe me my life. My hate began to rise again. After this, I should just take a break and go for a vacation. "From this day on I don't have any relationship with the Henderson family anymore." I show them the middle finger to signaling to f**k themselves of. Their faces were priceless and took my luggage with me. I left the Henderson family forever. At my apartment, I cleared my suitcase. I put the rest of the clothes I had taken from the Henderson mansion in my closet. At the same time, my stomach started to grumble. I decided to cook something and saw if there was anything left in the fridge. I looked at the empty fridge, there was only a package of orange juice and his due date had passed. I decided to go to the supermarket to buy the ingredients and the important things I need because I live in my apartment again. I bought everything that I needed then I went home to cook for myself. I made spaghetti with garlic sauce for today. It was so delicious. I was proud of my cooking. After dinner, I went to have a shower to wash off today's events, even if she thought about it she had a feeling to vomit. She left the shower and wear her underwear and her pj's and was sitting on her couch trying to relax. But was still thinking about what she should do next now that she served her relationship with the Henderson family. I could look for a job since I had two diplomas one in business and the other in design. Without knowing anything about the Henderson family and without Nathan's idea, I was a freelance designer in the jewelry and fashion sector and the advertising industry. So I could find work anywhere. The first thing I should do tomorrow is to send my applications to work as a freelancer with other companies that I have already cooperated with and seek contact if they have work for me. Until I could find a job I had my savings for any emergencies that could emerge in the future. The next day the time passed quickly. I had so much to do. After my breakfast, I went straight to my one customer to discuss the necessary things about the project. We talked about the necessary details that were missing in your office. Then I said goodbye to her. I made my way to my second client. On the way there I got a message. I only looked at the message when I got to the company. Nathan: Meet me now! It was from Nathan. Did he think that I would let him commend me around as he wishes? No hell! I was not his doll-like want to play. I was fuming right now in the car. A few minutes after that I tried to calm down and breathed in and out a few times. I opened my eyes I was calmed down and wrote him back. Me: I don't have time. A cold and simple reply would be enough. I got out of the car and rushed to an appointment with my client. We discussed the last finish for the project that would be launched. After releasing it would be great that my jewel designs would be launched at the successful jewel company HJ Group. I made a contract with the HJ Group that I had the rights for my designs and without my permission can not be changed. Also, that one of the parties can determine the contract if there are any misunderstandings or problems with each other. I was excited to see what the outcome would be. I hoped that everything would go smoothly and without any hurdle. We went through the drafts for the release and how would it be better for the show. Tomorrow is the day. On the way home I went to the grocery store to buy some ingredients that I needed for tonight's dinner that I would make. Today's menu was Thai Curry with cooked rice and salad with dressing as a side dish. The supermarket was in the vicinity of my apartment. I was walking down the street where I was suddenly bumped into by someone. "Hey! What's that supposed to be!" Did I yell at the person? According to the figure, it was a young man who was about my age or a year or two years older. He turned around to look at me. He wore a black mask on his face that covered his eyes till to his nose and had a black shirt and pants on with black shoes. His eyes were glaring at me for a few seconds when he unexpectedly fell on me. At the same time, I tried to hold him with the bags in my hands but it didn't work so I fell to the ground with him on me. Luckily I didn't hit myself on something but instead of that, I felt something on my lips. When I looked at him I saw that his lips were on mine. I didn't know how to react to this because suddenly I heard men running our way at that time when he fell on me. In this situation, the question arises who is he? And who were these men who were after him? I put him off of me and looked around at first if the men were ist near luckily they weren't. I sighed in relief and breath in and out for a moment then looked for a cap because the bags and the man beside me would take me more than an hour to reach my apartment. When I saw a cap I waved my hand. The cap hold on the side and the driver was so nice to help me with the man and my bags. I said my address to him. On the way, I watched the person next to me I was quite worried that he was injured somewhere because I could smell blood when he was on me and it proved it when I also saw it on my hands. I searched for any wounds that he could have on his body. I found a stab wound on the side of his hip and he was losing blood. I tried to press the wound with my scarf and stop the bleeding until we reached my apartment. When we got there, I took the bags out of the trunk, brought them up to my apartment, and came back down to pay the driver after I had taken the man out of the taxi. I put his left arm around my neck and tried to pick him up. I tried to balance my stability and brought him to the elevator. My gosh was he so heavy! I didn't know how long I could endure to carry him. The elevator stopped on my floor and I carried him to my door that I tried to open with my key with him leaning on me. After many attempts, I was finally able to open the door. I would have taken one step before now I need to take the next step and put it in my bed. With great effort, I dragged him from the corridor to my room. In my room, I tried to put him carefully on my bed without hurting him. I immediately got the first aid kit to treat his wound. I first took off his shoes, took his mask off his face, then opened the buttons on his shirt and looked carefully at the wound. Fine! It wasn't deep! I was relieved that he didn't hurt badly. I had already treated his wound for the time being, but I should remind him that he should see a doctor take a look at it later. I heard a phone ring. When I heard his cell phone ring, I took it out of his pocket and took the call. "Boss! Where are you? Are you ok?" I heard a worried voice from the other line. I heard him agree for a while then I decided to answer him. "Are you a member of the cell phone owner?" I said to him. It was quiet on the other side of the line for a short time. I heard him say something but I wouldn't let him talk. "If you want to see your boss then come to the following location that I will send through his cell phone." I ended the call then I sent the location from his cell phone. I put his cell phone on my dresser next to my bed and covered it with the duvet. In the meantime, I received a call. I looked at the ID it was Nathan. I didn't take the call. What did this bastard want from me? Had nothing better to do, such as looking after his so-called fiancée. His mere call made me angry. I tried to calm myself down. I breathe in and out. He called again I declined his call again but he called again and I knew that he would call until I took the call. I just wanted to be as far from him as I could. "Don't call me anymore!" I shouted frustrated at him. He had some nerve to call me and treat me like a servant, in his dream. I wasn't the naive Amelia anymore. I got a message. When I looked who it was I regretted it instantly. Nathan: I am in front of your apartments building. Me: I am busy. Nathan: If you don't come out I come in. That guy had some nerve. But I had an idea when I got down. He would regret it that he forced me to do this. "Are out of your mind to come here in this late-night!" whisper yelled at him when I reached to him. He looked at me sadly. He just stared at me and longing for attention. But instead of satisfying him, I glared at him without any emotions. "Amelia don't be like that. I know that I did wrong by getting angry at you but you have to understand me Victoria is my fiancee and I can not protect you like before." He said with an apologetic voice. Oh gosh, how could I be so dumb myself when I fell for him once. Then he got a message. It was from Victoria when I looked at the display. He gave Victoria a quick reply. "Nathan. Like I have said the last time. I don't want to do anything with you or the Henderson family or with Victoria anymore." I took a short break to calm down. Hus's attention was now on me again. I took a breath or two then looked seriously and confidently into his eyes. "I only wish that I can live a peaceful life without any disturbance from you and your fiancee. Live your life with Victoria. So I am saying this for the last time stay away from me." Nathan didn't say anything only stand there and glared at me as if his world was crushed. Of course, he had that feeling the reason was that I didn't listen to anything that he said made him a little panic. I left him there alone. In the meantime I woke up in a room that I didn't know. I looked around the room that looked like a woman's room. The bedroom was big with light lavender walls. The furniture in the room was all gloss white and it was antique. From the window, you could see the night with the city lights. On each side of the corner were dark purple curtains. I could see that there wasn't a lot of makeup on your dressing table and only two or three perfume products. It turned out that this woman is also like the other women, whatever their appearance. I should call my people and let them know that they should pick me up. When I picked up my cell phone, the doorbell rang. I got up to get out of the bedroom but the door opened and I saw Carter come in. Carter turned to see me standing by the bedroom door frame. "Boss! You are fine." Carter looked relieved. "I'm fine. Just a small stab wound." My voice was a bit choppy at the end when I spoke to him. I took my cell phone that was on the bedside table, I took the woman's bracelet and left a note.
