Chapter 4: Crossing the line

Amelia rushed off leaving Liam behind, "How did I let this happen" Amelia bursts out in tears, walking as fast as she could, Liam trying to catch up with her "Amelia, Amelia wait!", Amelia walking faster "Leave me alone Liam! This never should have happened, I am married, I have kids! ". Liam stopped chasing after Amelia and let her walk away.

Amelia got back to the mansion, luckily no one was there to witness the state she was in, she ran upstairs to go and take a shower and wash off the events that just occurred. Amelia breaks down taking a seat on the floor just letting the water wash away her tears and the guilt she was feeling. "How did I allow this man to go so far" she leans back against the shower's wall and closes her eyes. "Just breath, this won't happen again" Amelia collects herself she turns of the shower, grabs a towel and went to go sit on the bed. Logan enters the bedroom "Hi Honey, I'm back what a day it was", he picks Amelia up from the bed gives her a kiss and a tight hug. As he kisses her he whispers in her ear "I love this towel around you, but do you know where I would like it the most?". "Where?" Amelia asked. " On the floor" as Logan tries to remove the towel Amelia steps back "Not now Logan, I don't feel well". Logan steps back to have a look at his wife "Are you okay?", Amelia walks to the closet to get some clothes "yes think it was too much sun I should feel better in the morning". Liam hugs his wife "OK honey just take it easy" he gave his wife a hug and left the room. Amelia puts on some sweats and a tshirt. She walks to the mirror to look at her appearance, she ties her hair into a bun. " I need something to eat" Amelia went to the kitchen. Luckily the men are all outside having a swim, Elizabeth is sitting on one of the deck chairs reading a book. Amelia grabbed some left over sandwiches and headed back to her bedroom. After finishing her sandwich, Amelia decided to take a nap.

Whilst the men were swimming, Liam noticed not seeing Amelia for the whole afternoon and asks Logan where she is. "Amelia is not feeling well, she probably overdid it with the tanning" while hitting the volley ball back to Steven "you know woman always trying to improve their appearance". Steven got out of the swimming pool and dried him off with his towel "I am going to order us some pizza for dinner". Later that evening everyone sat around the deck table enjoying their pizza except for Amelia, she was sitting on their balcony listening to the chatter. Steven went upstairs to go check on Amelia, he approached her and tapped her on the shoulder "Steven you gave me a fright!" she yells at him as she returns from the daze she was in. "Just checking if you are ok, haven't seen you the whole day" Steven takes a seat next to her. "I am fine, wasn't feeling well," Amelia tries avoid looking at him with tears in her eyes. "ok then, you know I know better than anyone, let me know if you need to talk" Steven gives her shoulder a light squeeze and steps out. "I need to keep it together, before anyone notices, I need to talk to Liam, but not now, it is too soon" Amelia went back to bed. The next morning Liam is nowhere to be seen, Amelia feels quite relieved as she doesn't have it in her do deal with him or face him.

Liam is driving to one of the most beautiful lookout points. He parks his car, gets out and starts walking. The entrance of the lookout point has a green arch with lots of flowers as you walk further you enter a tropical forest, he follows the signs that heads to the highest point. He finds a spot and sits down. The view of the ocean is breathtaking, he relives the events of the previous day "what is this woman doing to me, I am falling in love with her and I can't have her. I need to talk to her, I need to tell her the truth" . Liam heads back to his car, on his way back to the mansion he is thinking about what he is going to say to her. He pulls up in the driveway and got out, entering the house his looking for Amelia. Amelia is busy in the kitchen preparing some lunch, Liam enters the kitchen "Amelia, we need to talk". Amelia looks at him "Now is not the right time, anyone could walk in here at any minute". Liam walks closer to her grabs her by the shoulders "I don't care I need to tell you something and it can't wait, the first day I met you I thought you were the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and when I got to know you I started falling in love with you, you make me feel things that I haven't felt in a long time and it is making me crazy knowing that you are angry because of what happened the, but I don't regret it". Amelia steps back "I can't deal with this right now, I can't tell you what you want to hear". Amelia walks out of the kitchen to join the others, pretending that this conversation didn't happen. "I can't let this get to me, I can't allow it, even though I feel the same...".
