CHAPTER 13 & 14 : When Danger Strikes at School
Jaden bike drove roughly into Oliver’s house, he got down from the bike still holding the gun, he marched straight into the house.
Oliver’s father was sitting on the couch, occasionally sipping from a cup of coffee while reading a newspaper.
Jaden stood in front of him and aimed the gun at him, David flinched and stood up immediately.
“Who are you?” David asked.
“Where’s your son?” Jaden asked.
“Who do you think you are to come into my house and point a gun at me?!” David yelled, trying to appear bold but deep down he was trembling.
“I’ll ask you for the last time, where the fuck is Oliver?” Jaden asked, in a calm voice.
“I’m going to call the police… ” David was about to retrieve his phone when Jaden shot him on the leg, David fell to the floor, groaning in pain.
“I see you don’t like things the easy way, I’ll ask you one more time……where is Oliver?” Jaden muttered, deadly.
“I don’t know….” David muttered through clenched teeths, as he tried to indure the unbearable pain.
“You want to tell me you don’t know where your son is? Do you want me to shoot the other leg?” Jaden asked, with a frown.
“No ..no.. please,….he said he’s going to Brooklyn to see his uncle” David replied, immediately.
“Which airport?” Jaden asked.
“Sureways…..” David replied, Jaden left the house after that.
As soon as Jaden stopped at the airport, his eyes scanned the surroundings.
The airport was filled with lots of people, making it more difficult to spot Oliver but the determination, anger and rage burning inside Jaden won’t let him give up.
He checked the station with the quickest Brooklyn flight, when he finally spotted Oliver a devilish smile appeared on his lips.
Oliver was wearing black pants and a black hoodie, covering his face.
Jaden walked up to Oliver from behind, Jaden gently tapped him and he turned.
When Oliver turned and saw Jaden, he tried to run but a warning from Jaden got him standing still.
“If you move, I won’t think twice in ending your father’s life” Jaden muttered and Oliver gulped.
No matter how wicked Oliver may appear but he cares for his father the most, he’s the only one Oliver has after his mother passed away.
Jaden and Oliver slowly left the airport, they got into Jaden’s car and he drove off, Jaden didn’t utter a single word throughout the drive which made Oliver more scared.
Jaden got down from the car and Oliver followed him unwillingly.
“Why did you bring me here?” Oliver said, trying to appear bold but deep down he was wishing for the ground to swallow him already.
Two men dragged Oliver’s father inside the room and Oliver’s eyes widened, seeing his father was shot.
“Are you mad?!” Oliver yelled, he took a step to his father but Jaden shoot him on the foot, he fell to the ground.
“You bastard!” Oliver sneered.
The two men tied Oliver’s hands and legs, them they brought a huge pot of boling water.
“Wh…what…..are you..going to do?” Oliver shuttered, seeing the boiling water in front of him.
“Throw him in” Jaden muttered and the men threw Oliver into the boiling water.
“No please…. please” David cried as they threw Oliver into the water.
Oliver screamed in pain as the hot water burnt his skin, all he could do was scream because his hands and legs were tied.
Jaden left the building with a smirk as he enjoyed the sweet melody of Oliver’s screamed.
By the time Jaden got back to the hospital, it was already midnight.
As soon as he stepped in his anger was replaced with fear.
Ashlyn and Evelyn were still standing outside her ward, sobbing.
“Is she awake?” Jaden asked and Ashlyn shooked her head.
Jaden took deep breaths to calm himself, he walked into Amelia’s ward, they was no one there, she was just placed under observation.
Jaden walked up to her and sat next to her, his hand slowly caressed her hair, then her fragile face.
“Please wake up, I’m no longer mad at you” He muttered, hoping for a miracle to happen right then.
“Little @ss, are you listening?” He asked, rubbing her earlobe.
“I won’t let you out of my sight again, please wake up……for me” He said.
He saw her eyes twitch but they didn’t open, next her finger moved.
“Little @ss……” He said, slowly as her life support machine began beeping repeatedly.
He ran out of the ward and called the doctor.
After a check up the doctor came out but this time he had a light smile.
“She’s okay right now……well at least she’s out of danger, am sure she’ll wake up soon” The doctor said and walked away.
“Thank God” Ashlyn muttered.
“Gosh I can’t wait to see her….” Evelyn said, cleaning her tears.
“Go home…” Jaden mouthed and they faced him.
“I said go home, aren’t you listening?” Jaden asked, looking pissed.
“But boss, we want to see……”
“I said go home now, and don’t think I’ve forgotten about your punishment….” Jaden said and they quickly rushed out of the hospital.
Jaden went back into Amelia’s ward, he sat next to her again, stroking her hair till he fell asleep.
The next morning as Jaden eyes fluttered open, he slowly stretched his body but paused when he saw Amelia awake and she was staring at him.
“I thought you were going to sleep forever….” She mumbled, lowly.
“When did you wake up?” He asked.
“Some hours ago” She replied and he frowned.
“Why didn’t you wake me up?” He asked.
“Am hungry” She pouted, ignoring his question.
“What do you want to eat?” He asked, touching her messy hair.
“Noddles” She replied.
“Okay? Do you need anything else?” He asked and she shook her head.
He stood up to leave but as he took a step she held the tip of his shirt.
“Are you still mad at me?” She asked, slowly, her innocent eyes piercing into his cold ones.
“Am not” He kissed her forehead before walking away.
She smiled and then her mind went to her what happened yesterday, she rarely had asthmatic attack back in Washington but it’s getting kind of frequent here and it’s annoying.
She feel like talking to her mother right now but she’s not with her phone, she sighed, she suddenly remembered Oliver and how he tried to rape her, if she did have that attack at that time would he have succeeded?
She was still lost in thoughts that she didn’t realize when Jaden came back with the doctor.
“Little @ss….” He tapped her gently and she snapped out of her thoughts.
“Are you alright?” He asked and she nodded.
The doctor did a little checkup on her before leaving.
He brought out the noddles from the bag he was holding and he tried to feed her.
“I can eat myself…” She said.
“With which hand?” He asked and she realized she had a drip attached to her right hand.
“Open” He commanded and she opened her mouth, he fed her until she was filled.
“Are you okay? Do you need more?” He asked and she shook her head.
“Now explain to me why you went to a club” He demanded, crossing his arms.
“I was bored, Ashlyn and Evelyn wanted to cheer me up so they took me to a club and anyways it was your fault…..” She said.
“My fault?” He chuckled.
“Yes, you left me at home all alone, you didn’t even care if I die or if I’m alife….jerk” She sniffled and he smirked.
“Does this look like a joke to you?” She asked, angrily.
“No little @ss but you look really cute when you’re crying….” He said in an annoyingly calm voice.
“You’re the worst” She muttered.
“You’re the best….” He pecked her lips but she wiped it off with a frown.
“Don’t try that again” She warned.
“Or what?” He asked.
“Or… I will….I…… you’re enjoying this right?” She sniffled again.
“Yes, very much” He replied, teasingly.
“I hate you” She laid on the bed, turning away from him.
The beautiful afternoon sun, pierced Into the room through the window, Amelia had fallen asleep again.
Jaden was awake, sitting next to Amelia as she slept, he enjoyed watching her sleep.
He raised his hand to caress her cheeks when the door burst open, Ashlyn and Evelyn walked in and he quickly withdrew his hand.
“Good morning boss” Ashlyn and Evelyn greeted.
“Are you here for your punishment?” He asked.
“Pu… punishment? We came to see her…..” Evelyn muttered.
“She’s fine and you may as well receive your punishment at the same time” He said and they gulped.
“We’re sorry……” Evelyn said quickly.
“Sorry? If anything had happened to her you might be dead by now…..on your knees” He ordered and they immediately went on their knees.
Few hours later Amelia woke up, she sat up and yawned, stretching her body but she got confused when she saw Ashlyn and Evelyn kneeling down and Jaden standing in front of them.
“Baby, you’re awake?” Evelyn smiled.
“Why are you both kneeling down?” She asked, standing up from the bed.
“It’s our punishment….” Ashlyn replied.
“Punishment? For what?” Amelia asked.
“For taking you to a club and almost getting you killed” Jaden replied.
“If I had died then it would have been your fault and what right do you have to punish them?” Amelia asked.
“He’s our boss” Evelyn replied when Jaden stayed quiet.
“Boss?”
“We’re in the black axe gang” Evelyn replied.
“Black axe? I don’t understand, both of you get up first” Amelia said but they shook their head.
“Jaden tell them to stand” She said facing him.
“And why will I do that?” He asked, crossing his hands.
“Are you heartless, their knees must be hurting….” She said but Jaden kept mute.
“Please tell them to stand up” She said in a soft cute and tiny voice.
“It won’t work” He said, not getting swayed by her cuteness.
“If you don’t tell them to stand up then I’ll cry and probably fall sick then I’ll die…..” She sniffled.
“Get up” He said and they both got up.
“Are you guys okay?” She asked and they nodded.
“Don’t mind this chipmunk, he tends to misbehave at times” Amelia said with a serious face, and they almost burst out in laugher but a glare from Jaden made them shut it.
•NEXT DAY•
Amelia was already discharged from the hospital a while ago, she was in the dinning table with Jaden, she was already filled but he kept urging her to eat more and she felt her stomach was going to burst anytime soon.
“I can’t” She shook her head as Jaden tried to feed her again.
“Open your mouth” He ordered but she shooked her head.
He dropped the spoon, and after taking the plates to the kitchen he returned to her.
She gasped when he lifted her up in his arms.
“What are you doing?” She asked.
“I’m carrying you” He replied, taking her to her room.
He placed her on the bed when he got there and silence washed over them.
Amelia kept picking her fingers trying to avoid his gaze, why was he looking at her like that? Doesn’t he have anywhere to be?
“Are you going out today?” She asked out of curiosity.
“No” He replied and she nodded.
“Do you want to go out with me?” He asked and her face brightened.
“Yes” She replied immediately.
“Wear something light, it’s sunny” He said and she nodded.
“Aren’t you going to leave so I can change?” She asked, when he kept staring at her.
“Be quick” He replied and left the room.
She took off her clothes and quickly took her bath, then she walked out of the room to find Jaden waiting for her in front of her room.
“I’m done” She smiled, he took a good look at her string hand, knee gown.
“Is there a problem?” She asked and he shook her head, walking away while she followed him.
“Car or bike?” He asked when they got outside.
“Bike” She smiled.
They both got on the bike and drove off, during the drive Amelia held onto him tightly to avoid falling down, his speed was intoxicating and she felt like throwing up.
“Stop….stop stop” She tapped him when she couldn’t take it any longer and he immediately stopped the bike.
“Are you okay?” He asked, she got down from the bike and faced him.
“Are you trying to kill me? Why are you driving so fast?” She asked dramatically and he chuckled.
“You’re cute” He said.
“You’re impossible, I’m talking about death and you’re telling me I’m cute, which bush did you crawl out of?……..” She was still ranting but Jaden wasn’t listening to her anymore, he was staring at a man dressed in black, he was secretly watching them.
“Hellooooo, chipmunk…..” Amelia called waving her hand in front of him.
“Wait right here….” He muttered and left her looking confused.
He walked straight to the man dressed in black and when the man saw him coming, he took to his heels.
Jaden quickened his pace, chasing after the man.
The man ran into a crowd of people and Jaden lost him.
He sighed as he walked back to where he left Amelia but she wasn’t there.
He was about to start panicking when she returned with a cone ice cream in her hand.
“Sorry, I didn’t get one for you, I thought you wouldn’t like it…” She mumbled.
He nodded and watched her lick the ice cream like a kid, since it was a hot day the ice cream was quickly melting and she was struggling to handle it.
“Boss, he almost caught me….” Sam said over the phone as soon as he got to a safe location.
“And? Didn’t you kill him?” Ben asked, angrily.
“I can’t do it….I just can’t” Sam shuttered.
“Is this a joke to you? Make sure you don’t call be unless he’s dead” Ben said and hung up.
Amelia was still struggling with her ice cream and at this point it was already smeared all over her face and her dress, Jaden was watching her with a smile.
“Is this funny to you?” Amelia pouted.
“A little” He came closer and held her waist, pulling her to himself.
She froze as her body was pressing hard against his.
“Jaden…what are you doing?” She asked, her cheeks flushed.
“You’re so fucking cute” He used his thumb to wipe the ice cream off her face then he released her.
“Let’s go” He climbed on the bike and she did the same, fanning her red cheeks with her hand.
“Where should we go?” He asked.
“I don’t know, I don’t know anywhere here” She replied, he sighed.
That’s true since she came here she’s never been out before only school and back home except the day they took her to a club.
He decided to take her to see some popular sights, like the aquarium, the beach, a petting zoo, and some restaurants.
The moment they got home she fell asleep instantly, she was really tired.
Amelia eyes fluttered open, with a loud yawn she rose up from the bed, she threw the duvet off her body and made her way to the bathroom, after a long soothing shower, she came out and wore her clothes.
She went downstairs and saw Jaden and professor Jordan shouting about something, were they having an argument? But from where she stood she could hear a little.
“Haven’t I told you to stop going to that house?! Can’t you just let go of the past!?” Jordan yelled.
“If you were the one tortured like I was you won’t be saying this” Jaden replied.
“Seriously, so what do you want to do? Do you want to kill them? After that then what?” Jordan asked but Jaden kept mute.
“I won’t warn you again, let go of your past and move on, I’ve also warned you about drug dealing and holding gun but it seems like my words are a joke to you, right?” Jordan said without waiting for a reply he left.
Jaden threw his weight on the couch, he swept his hand through his hair, How did Jordan find out? But he won’t rest until he takes his revenge…… Every night he still gets hunted by his past, is it easy to let go of something that won’t let go of you?
He was still lost in thoughts and staring into thin air when Amelia walked up to him.
“Are you fine?” She asked and he looked at her.
“Don’t be sad, I’m sure siblings fight all the time” Amelia said with a reassuring smile.
He held her hand and made her sit next to him.
“Do you have siblings?” He asked.
“Nope, only child” She replied and he just nodded.
“Let’s go eat so we can go to school” He said and took her hand, he made her seat on the dinning table, after dishing out the food, they both sat quietly.
Amelia noticed that Jaden wasn’t eating, his mind was far across the moon, she placed her hand on his and he looked at her.
“Do you want to tell me about it?” She asked, softly but he removed his hand.
“Are you done eating?” He asked, ignoring her question, Amelia understood that he didn’t want to tell her so she nodded.
“Am done” She said.
The school was oddly quiet today as if they are mourning someone, as Jaden’s car stopped in front of the school all eyes landed on them, everyone was quietly staring.
“Is something wrong?” Amelia whispered to Jaden as they got out of the car.
Just then David and some police men came out of the school, Jaden already understood what this was about.
“Little @ss, go home right now” He muttered, watching David approached them.
“What? Why?” Amelia asked, confused.
“Just go” He said but she shook her head stubbornly.
“You’re under arrest for the murder of Oliver son of Mr. David” One of the police men said as soon as they got to Jaden.
“Little @ss go home” He said but she refused.
“I’m not going anywhere, where are they taking you? I’m not letting you go…..” She said standing in front of Jaden.
“Miss move aside and let us do our duty or else you’ll be arrested for obstructing the law” A police man said.
“But he didn’t do anything!” Amelia yelled.
“Little @ss calm down” Jaden said.
Evelyn and Ashlyn walked into the scene and held Amelia aside.
“Let me go! What are you doing?!” She yelled, struggling with Ashlyn’s grip as she watched them take Jaden away.
“Please let me go!….” She cried, tears falling from her eyes.
She struggled harder and soon she slipped from Ashlyn’s grip, she ran straight to Jaden and hugged him.
“Am not going to let them take you away ……” She cried, hugging him tighter.
He hugged her back and stroked her hair.
“Little @ss, stop crying, the doctor said you shouldn’t stress yourself and I’ll be back soon” He said, softly.
“Stop wasting our time, we don’t have all day” The police man said.
Jaden broke the hugged, cupped her cheeks, wiped her tears and kissed her forehead.
“I’ll be back” He whispered, he signalled for Ashlyn to come over and she did.
“Take her home and take care of her” Jaden said.
Ashlyn forcefully took Amelia away, while she cried like a kid being taken away from it’s mother.
“He’ll be fine, right?” Amelia asked, hugging Ashlyn.
“He will” Ashlyn replied.
Amelia watched as they took Jaden into the police van and drive away but one question was running madly in her head.
Did Jaden really kill Oliver, for her?
CHAPTER 15 & 16 : Amelia’s Ultimate Dilemma
Two days later, Jaden was finally released from the prison, it took a lot from Jordan because it’s not easy getting bail for a murder case but what helped was that he tried to rape Amelia, due to her statement he was finally released.
When Amelia was told he was coming back tonight, she couldn’t contain her joy.
She won’t lie, she really missed him.
After talking to her mom she fell asleep while playing Candy crush.
She soon woke up in the middle of the night to ease herself, she got out of the bed and was about to enter the bathroom when her eyes caught Jaden. He was sitting at her study table watching her.
She ran to him with a smile, immediately he stood she hugged him.
“You missed me that much, huh?” He chuckled, hugging her back.
“I was waiting for you, are you alright? Are you hungry?” She asked, breaking the hug.
“I came back a while ago, I’ve eaten and I’m fine don’t worry” He said and she smiled.
“I’ll be back” She rushed into the bathroom, after she was done she came out.
Jaden was already laying on her bed, with his eyes closed, she stared at his faced wondering if he was sleeping.
He opened his eyes and tapped the space next to him on the bed, she stayed still and he sighed.
“Come on little @ss” He muttered.
“We can’t…. sleep on the same bed ” She mumbled, rubbing her legs awkwardly.
She gasped when he pulled her on the bed, she landed next to him.
Her breath hitched as his hands crawled up to her tummy, he slowly lifted her top and began rubbing her tummy slowly.
He tickled her slightly and she pushed his hand away with a giggle.
He tickled her again and she laughed.
“Stop that” She pushed his hand away.
He pulled her closer and buried his face on her neck, Amelia’s heartbeat multiplied by a million times as he began planting wet kisses on her neck.
His hands went to her @ss, slowly massaging it at the same time.
“Mmhhh…” Amelia unconsciously released a slight moan.
“That’s a turn on” He placed a deep kiss on her lips and she reciprocated, after a while he broke the kiss, her cheeks turned red.
She turned, facing away from him, his hands wrapped away her waist, pulling her closer to himself, her eyes closed enjoying his warm embrace.
The next morning, Amelia woke up, she turned and found Jaden still fast asleep, she blushed when she remembered how Jaden touched her last night, nobody has ever touched her that way.
Normally she won’t let anyone touch her but it’s different with jaden, he just has this ability of making her feel safe and calm.
She stroked his hair for a while, before walking into the bathroom, after having her bath, she came out and was surprised to see Jaden still sleeping.
He normally wakes up early, so what’s wrong?
She decided to let him sleep and left the room, after making breakfast, she ate and returned to the room, Jaden was still asleep.
Is he sick? She checked his temperature but it was normal.
“Jaden….” She called softly, tapping him.
His eyes fluttered open and a slight smile graced his lips, seeing her first thing in the morning just has this amazing feeling.
“Are you alright?” She asked.
“Am fine” He replied.
“I was worried, you overslept ” She mumbled.
“Slept?….” His brow furred, he actually slept peacefully for the first time in years, he also noticed that day at the hospital he slept when she was next to him.
“What’s wrong?” She asked and he shook his head.
“Nothing, are you ready?” He asked.
“For what?” She asked.
“School” He replied, getting up from the bed.
“Yes, you can get ready, I’ll set your breakfast…” She said and left the room.
He went to his room and took his bath after eating breakfast, he drove both of them to school.
As soon as Amelia got down from the car Ashlyn and Evelyn rushed to her.
“Baby, I’ve missed you” Evelyn hugged her.
“Same” Amelia replied, after breaking the hug she gave Ashlyn a quick hug.
“Welcome back boss” Evelyn said and Jaden nodded, immediately Xavier approached him with a grin.
“Dude, you’re finally back, gosh I missed you” Xavier tried to hug him but he walked into the school ignoring him.
“Wait up” Xavier ran after him.
“That witch is back” Regina sneered, folding her fist, as she watched Amelia talk with the girls.
“At least Jaden is back too” Maryjane said.
“It’s not like it changes anything, he still won’t like you” Sandy scoffed and Regina faced her.
“I dare you to say that again” Regina snapped.
“He doesn’t like you, stop being delusional, even before Amelia came to this school, he never liked you, she’s not the problem…..he just doesn’t like you, can’t you…….” A slap landed on Sandy’s cheeks before she could complete what she was saying.
“Are you mad?!” Regina yelled and pulled Sandy’s hair and like that a huge fight broke out.
Maryjane stood aside not wanting to get involved, all the students started filming this amazing scene, it’s not everyday you get to see an Italian princess fighting.
Amelia, Evelyn and Ashlyn were also watching them, Ashlyn couldn’t contain her laugher because Regina was already losing the fight, her nose was bleeding and some of her hair were ripped out.
“Get off me!!…” Sandy yelled and pushed Regina off her, Regina fell to the floor but got up instantly.
She picked a stick from the floor and repeatedly hit Sandy, after a while Sandy caught the stick she threw it to the ground and gave Regina a huge blow on her gut, Regina fell to the floor and started coughing blood.
Sandy smirked satisfactorily watching Regina wiggle in pain on the floor.
Amelia kept wondering what would make them fight when someone pulled her away from the crowd.
She gasped and almost screamed but she calmed when she saw Jaden.
“Won’t you go to class?” Jaden asked, with a slight frown.
“I have ten minutes before my class starts so don’t worry” She replied.
“Who said I’m worried?” He scoffed.
“So you aren’t worried about me?” She pouted.
“No” He replied, curtly.
She was about to reply when someone drove into the school,roaring the engine loudly, with the latest car in the country, everybody’s eyes deviated from Regina and Sandy’s fight and landed on the two hot guys that came out of the car.
👥 Oh my God, they are so cute.
👥 Will you marry me!
👥 I love you.
👥 He’s the hottest guy I’ve ever seen.
👥 My Jaden is still hotter.
👥 I love your shoes.
The older guy named Kelvin walked flashed a charming smile and the screams multiple by a million times.
The second guy named Dylan had a gloomy look on his face but he was just as handsome as Kelvin.
“They’re handsome” The words slipped out of Amelia’s mouth before she could realize it, Jaden faced her with an angry look.
She was still lost staring at their faces Jaden had to step in front of her before she could snap out of it.
“Stop staring….” Jaden snapped, and she sighed.
He took her hand and lead her to her class.
“Class is about to start, don’t go anyway” He made her seat on her seat then he left.
She rolled her eyes.
Evelyn was heading to the cafeteria after her first class, she has an early morning lecture so she had to come very early, she didn’t eat before leaving home.
She saw Jerry with a girl, he was talking to the girl and smiling that’s the first time she has seen him smile and it looks good on him.
Sometimes she wonders maybe he doesn’t like girls that’s why he always chases her away but right now in front of her he’s talking to a girl, maybe he just doesn’t like her, maybe she’s the problem.
She sighed and was about to keep walking when she bumped into Dylan, she staggered and almost fell but he held her waist to avoid her from falling.
“Are you okay?” He asked, with the most angelic voice she has ever heard.
“Yes, I’m fine” She replied, moving back a little.
“I’m Dylan, I’m new here, can I know your pretty name?” He asked.
“I’m Evelyn” She smiled.
“Nice to meet you, are you heading to the cafeteria? Maybe we could go together?” He said.
“Sure, I was heading there, I’m famished” She replied.
“I see you’re a foodie” He chuckled, walking to the cafeteria while she followed him.
Jerry’s eyes followed them till they were out of sight.
“Hey, are you listening?” The girl next to him asked, which annoyed him.
He sighed and walked away.
“Calm down, the food doesn’t have legs to run” Dylan chuckled at the unhealthy pace she was eating.
She mumbled some inaudible words because she had food in her mouth.
“I’m just really hungry” She said after swallowing the food in her mouth.
“Aren’t you eating?” She asked.
“Am not hungry, I only wanted to spend time with you” He replied and she smiled awkwardly.
“But you should try the food, it’s really good” She said.
“I’ll only eat if you feed me” He muttered and she gulped.
“Hey, look at the time my next class just started” She rushed her words and stood up immediately.
“At least give me your number!” He yelled as he watched her run out without turning back, he chuckled at her cuteness.
“Lyn where were you, our class is about to begin” Ashlyn said as soon as Evelyn walked in.
“Sorry I was busy” Evelyn replied, settling on her seat.
“The lecturer is not in school today so it’s a free period!” The class representative said and everyone bursted out in joy.
“Lazy generation” Ashlyn muttered with a sigh.
“Don’t be a book worm Lyn” Evelyn chuckled.
Regina had to go home early because her father called for her.
As she walked into the golden building her heartbeat increased rapidly, she was scared because she knew that her father must have seen the video of her fight with Sunny.
Regina walked into the living room with her head lowered.
“Good afternoon father” She greeted with a curtsey.
“What’s good about the afternoon? When you decided to humiliate our family” Her father’s voice roared.
“Am sorry father, it was a mistake” She replied with her heard still lowered.
“Do you know how many people are mocking us because of this your stupid video?” He asked, showing her the video.
She lifted her head slowly and looked at the video, then her father’s angry face before lowering her head again.
“I’m sorry, I won’t repeat it again” She mumbled.
“I know you won’t, because you’re going back to Italy tomorrow, I know it was stupid listening to your mother when she told me you needed education….” Her father said, folding his fist.
“I’m sorry father please I want to study” She said on her knees, tears rolling from her eyes.
“I’ve been monitoring you and I know you’re only in that school for a boy and you don’t even get good grades” He said with a sigh.
“That’s not true………”
“Will you get out of my sight!” His anger filled voice cut her off, she flinched and ran to her room.
She locked the door and began scattering everything in her room, screaming like a mad woman.
Jaden has been looking for Amelia all over the school.
He frowned really hard when he saw her walking and laughing with Kelvin.
“So I’ve been looking for you and you’re flirting ” He said as they approached him.
“I wasn’t flirting, he asked me to show him around” She replied.
“Do you have a problem with that?” Kelvin asked, in an annoying voice.
“Yes I do have a problem with it” He said, pulling Amelia to his side.
“Why?” Kelvin came closer giving Jaden an intimidating look but Jaden wasn’t affected by it.
“I don’t like anyone around her” Jaden replied, taking a step towards him.
They stood few inches apart, glaring at each other, Amelia gulped staring at them.
“Let’s go home chipmunk” Amelia said, trying to pull him away.
“Chipmunk? That name suits you, perfectly” Kelvin chuckled.
“I dare you to say that again” Jaden said meaningfully.
“What are you gonna do about it?” Kelvin asked, keeping a straight face.
“Jaden let’s go” Amelia said but Jaden wasn’t listening.
“Kelvin, please go please” She said facing Kelvin, he glared at Jaden before walking away.
“Jaden do you want to start a fight?” Amelia sighed.
“Change the name” He muttered, facing her properly.
“Huh?”
“Don’t call me chipmunk, I want a romantic name” He blurted out and Amelia blinked.
CHAPTER 17 & 18 : A Clash with Kelvin
“You want a romantic name?” She asked, smiling.
“Yes, what’s wrong with that, I mean can’t you give me a better nickname…. I hate chipmunk” He said.
“And I hate little @ss” She folded her arms.
“What’s wrong with it you do have a little @ss” He chuckled.
“Stop saying that!” She groaned, walking away while he followed.
“Little @ss are you angry?” He asked, teasingly.
She kept quiet and walked out of the school while he followed her.
“Should I call you little angel?” He asked and she stopped, she turned and faced him with a smile.
“I would like that” She nodded.
“Then change my nickname” He muttered and she sighed.
“Fine, but it depends on how you behave, if you act sweet, I’ll call you sweetheart or sweetie, if you act grumpy I’ll call you Mr. Grumpy, if you act cold I’ll call you stone cold, if you act tough I’ll call you my superman……”
Jaden wasn’t even listening to her, his eyes were on the way her lips were moving, his hand twitched as he strained himself from kissing her right there.
“Are you alright?” She asked and he nodded.
“Were you even listening?” She frowned.
“Let’s go home first” He muttered.
Ashlyn and Evelyn were about to left their class about to go home as soon as their last class ended.
“excuse me” Someone said from behind and they turned to find Dylan with his usual charming smile.
“Can I borrow this pretty lady for a minute?” Dylan asked.
“Sure….you can drop her home when you’re done” Ashlyn replied.
“Thanks” Dylan said.
“Have fun, I’m going home” Ashlyn winked at Evelyn and ran off.
Evelyn faced Dylan waiting for him to say something.
“Let’s sit first” He said, leading her to the cafe right outside the school.
They both sat down and ordered some coffee.
“I want to invite you for my birthday, actually I want you to be my date….” He said and she looked at him.
“It only for the birthday…” He said immediately.
“I’ll think about it” She replied.
“Think fast, it’s tomorrow evening by nine …..you can bring your friends” He said and she nodded.
“Are you done with the coffee?, so I can drop you home” Dylan said.
“You don’t have to worry about that, I’ll take a cab home” She replied.
“What kind of a gentleman will I be if I let a pretty lady like you go home alone….” He said dramatically and she laughed.
“I’ll take you home” He said.
“Fine” She replied.
“I’ll be back, I want to use the bathroom” She stood up, heading for the school’s restroom.
As she was passing by she heard some groans from a classroom, she opened the door and walked in.
Jerry was sitting on the floor, holding his head, his eyes were closed and his body filled with sweat.
“Jerry” She rushed to him, squatting next to him.
“Are you okay?” She asked, worriedly but he was still silent with his eyes closed.
“Jerry!” She yelled in tears and his eyes flew open.
Realizing who was next to him, he pushed her away, she landed on the floor.
“Stay away from me…” He muttered, standing up, still holding his throbbing head.
“Are you fine?” She came closer to him stubbornly.
“Are you deaf? Stay away!” He pushed her and she staggered, leaning on someone’s body.
She turned and found Dylan behind her, he had an angry look on his face,
“Who the fuck do you think you are?” Dylan asked, marching towards him.
Jerry was already standing straight, he ignored them and left, Evelyn was about to go after him but Dylan held her back.
“Where do you think you are going?” Dylan asked, holding her wrist tightly.
“He’s not fine, let me go….” She pulled her hand away and ran after Jerry but he already drove away.
“Let me drop you home….” Dylan said from behind her, she turned to face him.
“I’ll rather take a cab..” She said and rushed away before he could protest.
As Amelia and Jaden walked into the house, Jordan was descending the stairs.
“Good afternoon ” Amelia greeted with a smile.
“How was your day?” Jordan asked.
“It was fine” Amelia replied, he nodded and left without sparing Jaden a glance.
“Are you guys fighting?” Amelia asked.
“Don’t worry about that” He reply, going to his room, Amelia followed him.
As he walked into his room, she made to go to her room.
“Where are you going?” He asked, sticking his head out of his room.
“My room” She replied.
“Come here” He said and she walked over to him, he pulled her into the room and shut the door.
He sat on the bed and she sat next to him, they was silence for a minute before Amelia spoke up.
“I have a group project and am not really sure how to go about it, could you help me?” She asked, bringing out her book from her bag.
“Look at this, I don’t understand what exactly am supposed to do here, if it’s a group work why did the lecturer give me some much work and when I tried to split it everyone said because am the group leader am meant to do the most work, I can’t understand why some people are so lazy……” She groaned while flipping through the pages of her book.
She faced Jaden when she noticed he wasn’t saying anything, she noticed he was staring at her lip, does he want to kiss her?
She swallowed and faced the book again, using her hair to cover her face slightly out of shyness.
He chuckled and removed her hair from her face, he tucked it behind her ear.
He held her chin and lifted it up, making her face him.
She sprang up when he started leaning in attempting to kiss her.
“I want to eat, I’m hungry” She muttered and was about to rush out of the room, he pulled her back and she landed on his laps.
“Where exactly do you think you are going?” He asked, caressing and rubbing her lower lips.
“I’m hungry” She replied.
“Well am also hungry” He said.
“Then let me cook, we can eat together ” She said, attempting to stand but he held her waist firmly.
“I don’t mean that type of food” He sighed.
“Then why type?” She asked, ignorantly.
He didn’t reply instead he kissed her, pulling her body close to him, she immediately wrapped her hands around his neck, tiling her head sideways and kissing him back.
He held her waist tightly, lifting her up,he laid her on the bed without breaking the kiss.
He broke the kiss after a while, letting her caught her breath. His hands when to her skirt, he lifted the skirt up slightly, caressing her tights slowly.
She shut her eyes tightly as she felt him pulling her skirt down, he flung it to the side of the room and returned to kissing her.
This wasn’t right, she shouldn’t be doing this, she should push him away but her body was under her control instead it was responding to his every touch.
She gasped when she felt his fingers in her middle, she shut her legs tight but he opened them back.
He pushed her panties aside slowly inserting his finger into her.
She held her breath as his finger when deeper into her.
“Mmhhh” She let out a raspy moan when he twisted his finger inside her, he added another finger, fingering her in a fast pace.
“Jaden……..” She moaned squeezing the sheets tightly, her back ached as the deep sensation sent shivers down her spine.
Jerry drove into the hospital, after packing his car, he came out and walked into the hospital.
“Have you taken your medicines?” The doctor asked, after he finished Jerry’s check-up.
“No, I forgot” Jerry sighed.
“You can’t keep doing that, your health is in danger here…… your operation is next month you have to take care of yourself” The doctor said, handing him a bag with some medicines.
“I’m going to die soon so this operation is a waste of money” Jerry chuckled and the doctor frowned.
“Don’t talk like that, I have hope the operation will be successful……you can go home” The doctor said and Jerry walked out.
He brought out his phone to check the time and his eyes landed on Evelyn’s picture, he used her picture as his wallpaper.
He smiled before inserting the phone back into his pocket and walking away.
As Amelia woke up the next morning, she yawned, stretching her body, she blinked her long lashes as she realized she was still in Jaden’s room.
Heat creeped on her cheeks as she remembered what happened yesterday, she was still half naked only wearing her bra and top, she didn’t even know where her skirt and pantie is.
The door opened and Amelia used the sheets to cover her body till her head.
She felt some weight at the side of the bed, someone sat beside her, she held the sheets tighter.
Jaden stared at her in confusion, why is she covering her face? Is she shy because of what happened yesterday?
He chuckled and tried to remove the sheets tighter but she tighten her grip on it.
“Little @ss, remove it” He muttered pulling the sheet.
“No, please go away” She said barely above a whisper.
“I’m still with your pantie, you know right?” He asked and she immediately removed the sheet.
“Give it to me” She said immediately.
“What if I don’t?” He asked.
“But why?”
“I want to use it to remember your beautiful scent” He said in a hoarse voice and she gulped.
“I…. I … Want to get ready for school, at least return my skirt” She said.
He stood and picked up her skirt from a chair then he threw it at her.
“Turn around ” She said.
“Why? I’ve already seen it”
“Still” She persisted.
“Fine” He turned around after a few minutes he faced her again. She was already done wearing the skirt.
“Go prepare for school” He said and she left the room.

A lady named Vera was working in her restaurant, she was holding a tray of food, walking out if the kitchen, she walked up to table three with a smile.
“Is there any other thing I can get you?” She asked, dropping the tray on the table.
“No, we’re alright” the customer replied.
“No mommy I want Ice cream” The lady’s son cried.
“Alright baby” The lady said and faced Vera.
“Two plates of ice cream please”
“I’ll get it right now” Vera replied, walking away.
She got the ice cream and dropped it on the table as she was about to leave her eyes caught a man walking into the restaurant.
Her breath hitched, she rubbed her eyes to know if she was really seeing clearly or was she hallucinating.
“Daniel….” Vera muttered, her feet froze, as much as she tried to walk away she couldn’t, she just stay glued to the spot as the man approached her.
“Long time no see, Vera” Daniel base voice came.
“What do you want? Leave my restaurant right now!” Vera said harshly.
“Calm down, I just came to let you know that I’ve found her…..” Daniel smirked and Vera’s heart sank.
“What? How? Stay away from her, stay away from my daughter!” Vera muttered.
“She’s my daughter too and I have as much right over her as you do…” Daniel replied.
“Stay away from Amelia you evil man, stay away from my daughter!” Vera yelled almost in tears.
“I’m not here for your drama, I only came to inform you that I’ve found her, I’ll make sure to give her a quick death….” Daniel winked and walked away.
Vera blinked to process the shock, he found Amelia?
“No no, oh my God, I can’t let this happen” Vera muttered, leaving the restaurant.
The whole restaurant became noisey, they actually heard everything that Vera and Daniel talked about.
As Daniel got into his car, his personal assistant looked at him.
“Have you found her?” Brian asked.
“No” Daniel replied, lighting a cigarette.
“I thought you said you’re going to kill her before this week ends?” Brian raised a brow.
“I haven’t found her but I told Vera that i have, out of fear she’ll lead me right to her” Daniel muttered.
“Smart” Brian chuckled and drive the car off.
As soon as Vera got home she started packing her bag, she has to get to New York right now, she can’t let anything happen to her daughter!
She won’t let that devil hurt her!
Ben stay hidden in a bush next to the school patiently waiting for Jaden to arrive at the school.
His mind wasn’t at ease as he held the gun firmly in his hand.
If he doesn’t do this Ben will kill his family, in order to save his family he has to kill jaden today….he doesn’t have a choice.
As Jaden’s car drove into the school Sam took a deep breath, he pointed the gun towards the car waiting for Jaden to step out.
But as soon as Jaden stepped out students gathered around him as usual, Xavier walked towards Jaden while Evelyn and Ashlyn rushed to Amelia, giving her warm hugs.
“I’ve missed you baby!” Evelyn kissed her cheeks.
“I’m thinking about having a sleepover soon at my place but we’ll have to ask your boyfriend first before he can release you…..” Ashlyn said.
“Which boyfriend? I don’t have a boyfriend ” Amelia said.
“Am talking about Jaden, he’s over possessive like a clingy boyfriend” Ashlyn said.
“That’s not true”Amelia shook her head.
“Let’s go to class” Evelyn said, taking her hand, as they were about to go inside Amelia’s eyes caught the man in the bush.
Her eyes widened when she saw him holding a gun, she traced the direction the gun was pointing to ….. Jaden!
“Jaden!!!!” The moment she yelled his name, Sam shot with the silent gun.
Jaden and everyone turned to face Amelia wondering why she screamed his name.
Amelia rushed to him, checking his body to see if he got hurt.
“Are you okay?” She asked.
“Am fine, what’s wrong?” He raised a brow, at that moment he heard a loud thug behind him.
Sam had missed his shot but It definitely shot someone,

He fell to the floor as blood flowed out of his chest.
Everybody’s eyes widened!
