Chapter 9

He looked taken aback at my sudden outburst but quickly covered it up with a blank face. "Your mom." He said looking at me. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, what about my mom? "Are you seriously going to let her die because of your ego?" He said looking me dead in the eyes. "My mom's not dying!" I lied.

"Oh really? She has a heart disease and needs to undergo surgery in the next two months but you don't have the money to pay for it. So tell me Amelia, how exactly do you plan on making seven hundred thousand dollars in two months?" How the heck did he even know my mom had a heart disease?

"Or your sister that's about to drop out of college because you haven't paid last terms tuition?" He said with a raised eyebrow. All I could do was stare at him with tear glazed eyes.

"I expect you to be ready and packed by seven pm tomorrow. Pack enough clothes for two weeks. We're going to meet my family." And with that said, he stood up and walked out of my house like he hadn't just crushed my soul.

As soon as he left, I just broke down into tears. Through my tears, I called Bella and she came immediately. I explained to her what happened while crying hysterically as my head was rested on her lap and soon started drifting off to sleep.

I groaned as I was awoken the next day by the ringtone of my phone and answered without checking the caller ID. "What?!" I snapped in to the phone, "geez, calm down girl, it's only me." I relaxed when I recognized the voice on the other end as my best friend. "Have you eaten anything? I can bring you some coffee and doughnuts?" I grumbled a yes and thank you then she hanged up the phone.

I tried going back to sleep but it was no use, so I decided to check my phone for the time, it read forty three past seven. I decided to get up and have a shower.

Bella came in when I was in the middle of oiling my body and gave me a huge bear hug. "How are you holding up sweetheart?" She asked and all I did was jus nod my head no.

With all the crying and sleeping I had completely forgotten to ask Alexander the reason as to why he asked me to marry him. I just shook my head to try and get rid of the thoughts about this loveless marriage.

Bella helped me pack my suitcase as I packed I my duffel bag. "Look on the bright side mimi, at least his hot" I chuckled and mentally thanked her for trying to lighten my mood up.

I put my toiletries, my hair and skin products and an extra pair of undies and a bra in my duffle bag while Bella packed the rest of my clothes in my suitcase.

When I walked out of my bathroom, Bella quickly shut my suitcase shut. "What?" I asked, "nothing" she said while looking around and not looking me in the eyes. I just shrugged it off and continued stuffing my duffle bag.

Alexander had sent his driver earlier on to tell me he'd be here to pick me up at seven. So by six forty five I double checked if I had everything. As I was about to open my suitcase, Bella quickly jumped on it and laughed nervously.

"Bella move" I said as I tried to push her off the suitcase. "Mimi, I already checked the suitcase, everything's in here" she chuckled nervously again. I just decided to take her word for it and leave to go change.

Someone knocked on the front door at seven pm sharp. I was wearing dark blue jeans and a white off the shoulder top with white sneakers. All in all, I was ready.

Bella opened the front door and there stood the driver that came earlier on during the day, he helped with my bags and took the to the car while I was saying my good byes to Bella.

The ride to the airport was quiet since it was only the driver and I in the car. The only things he said was that Alexander was already there, waiting for me to arrive and after that he put up the screen separating me from him.

About after thirty minutes later we finally arrived. I hadn't noticed until the driver opened the door for me. As I stepped out of the car I had been looking down the whole time, so when I did look up, I wasn't really surprised to see an expensive jet.

There, in front of me, was the most luxurious jet I had ever set my eyes on. It was white with the tail having the initials 'A.K' in gold bold letters. It was honestly really pretty.

If I thought the outside was beautiful, I was in for a surprise. Inside had white leather seats each facing each other with dark wood coffee tables in between them, the isle had a beige carpet going all the to the back where there were toilets, all in all I was dumbstruck.

I spotted Alexander on one of the chairs and made my way to take a seat opposite of him and just stared at him, waiting for him to notice me.

"Staring's rude." He suddenly said, catching me off guard. "I have questions." I said, confidence surging through my body. At that, he shut his laptop and his grey orbs stared hard at my brown ones.
