Chapter 17: Nightmare in the daytime

~ The Next Day ~

Amelia hurried out of her apartment and locked the door. She had just ten minutes to get to the company. Though she could still make it, she wanted to get there as soon as she could.

She had woken up late because she left the party very late. James wasn’t ready to leave the party when she wanted to, so she had no choice then to stay back with him.

Before she could walk away from her door, Elena’s door opened, and Amelia turned back. She saw Elena standing at the door.

Elena smiled widely at her, but Amelia was too pained to smile back at her. She remembered what she did to her the previous night.

“Good morning, Amelia. When did you return yesterday?” Elena asked, and Amelia exhaled.

“I returned very late. You must have been sleeping when I came back,” Amelia answered coldly.

Elena noticed the way she acted, and she stepped out of her apartment and shut the door behind her.

“What is wrong, Amelia? You don’t sound happy.”
