Amelia yawned as she stood up from the bed. She had a good night's rest after a long time and that brought out a grin from her. The bed was so soft and she found the place strangely comfortable. She gazed around and couldn't help admiring everything her eyes caught. They look so magnificent, including the artwork that rests on the wall. She stepped out of the room and was captivated by how well-built and elegant the place was. Everywhere looks classy and glassy like it was the palace, so beautiful. She kept checking everything out as she walked around the house till she heard a cold voice say behind her,
" don't touch anything",
She looked around and saw a well-structured man looking so breathtaking. He looks more handsome than when she saw him the previous night except that he had swollen eyes like he didn't sleep at all.
Liam couldn't catch a good sleep, he also had to act normal by going to work and pretending like nothing happened. He looked at her feeling irritated at how she looked but he wasn't in for her looks, he needed to keep her by himself every time for his own good.
" you are going out with me", he said adjusting his tie. Amelia got upset at how rude and commanding he was. Even though he's not the killer, he should be kind and appealing not cold and indifferent.
" I don't want to",
" I'm not asking for your opinion",
" I know and I said I am not going", she said firmly,
Liam scoffed, ' Did she just object',
" you have no choice cause I don't trust you",
" you also have no choice cause I don't trust you either",
" hey!",
" I just made myself clear that I am going nowhere, I can report...",
" hey!!", he yelled and scoffed, " are you threatening me?",
"Anything you see but you didn't even let me finish my statement", she replied. She was a princess, no one had ever ordered her around like that, she was well respected, and now? she's not going to tolerate his rudeness, not when she knows his weakness, at least till he finds the real killer.
Liam couldn't believe she was talking back at him, he eyed her and grabbed her arm, dragging her to the car.
" hey let go of me ", she shouted and struggled to free herself from his grip but he was too strong, or perhaps she was too weak. Amelia was so scared and afraid as she watched other cars remembering how they hit the kid.
" do we have to use this thing?", she cried,
" what thing?",
She pointed at the car,
" you mean the car? then should we fly instead?", he replied coldly feeling irritated at how she thought they shouldn't go by car, then should they trek or fly?
"Fly? Did you have wings?", she asked curiously and somewhat hoping he was also a deserted angel or one of the missing angels but Liam felt she was trying to piss him off and she succeeded. He snubbed her till they got to the company.
Everyone in the office was so shocked and confused to see a rough-looking girl being dragged into the office by Liam.
" Did I see him even hold her hand?",
" he even came late to work and that's terrifying",
" I don't know it's also making me develop goosebumps".
Liam closed the door and the window. Amelia yanked her hand free,
" Are you trying to kill me? what's that thing you called a car and why does it always involve killing",
"hey!!!", he yelled. Everyone in the office was startled,
" I knew this was a bad omen", one of them cried.
" Did...did you just call my baby a thing?",
"Baby? That thing is a baby?",
"Hey! Again?",
" How can you be inside your baby, babies are always timid and Small, that doesn't even look like humans",
" w..what?",
" I saw it kill a kid yesterday, it's a murderer",
Liam roughened his head, she was confusing him and it was so annoying. He needs one of his best friends to speak with urgently, he couldn't call Williams cause he could swear that he went to a party all night and will be sleeping at the moment, he doesn't want to call Sophia so he's left with only Ryan. He took his phone and excused himself.
Emma was glad to see Liam walk out of the office, she took this opportunity to quickly go in and drop the files but saw Amelia.
' where did he meet her, she isn't even looking good and neat ', she said in her mind.
" Hi",
Amelia nodded in response,
Emma looked at her once again before she made to leave but then Amelia stopped her,
" is car a baby?", she asked,
Emma looked at her not understanding what she meant by the question. Seeing her confused look, she asked another question,
" What is a car?",
Emma nearly choked, ' Is she kidding me now? like is she asking me that question? ', she looked at her and began to think of what could be the reason for such a ridiculous question. Nevertheless, she replied,
" a car is a means of transportation, instead of trekking to wherever you want to go you will either take a car, or a bus or train, it makes it faster to get to your destination so it's just for transportation",
Amelia nodded, ' Just like wings '.
" but why does it kill?",
" excuse me?",
" I saw it hit a little boy",
Emma eyed her, " you really don't know?",
" no, I'm not from this world",
" excuse me?", now she's getting more confused, she said before Amelia could reply, "That's mainly because the boy or the car driver didn't obey the traffic light, what might have happened was an accident and that's why the government made the traffic light to prevent road accident, and accident can also happen if one of them isn't looking at where they are heading to",
Amelia furrowed her brow not really getting what she meant.
" But why is car baby",
" it is baby to some because they care and cherish it a lot, perhaps because it's their favorite or because it's so beautiful and expensive so ma'am I'd like to take my leave", she said getting tired of the weird, ridiculous, and funny questions. She left before Amelia could ask any other questions.
After the third ring, Ryan finally picked up the call,
" Where am I free to run to, I don't think the tunnel is the safest place",
" We need to see",
" I have lots of female customers piled up in my restaurant, I'm not ready to break their hearts",
" I am serious",
" I heard your celebrity stalker was found dead by the beach what...",
" it's about her",
" what's about her?",
" about her death",
Ryan paused what he was doing,
" you didn't kill her did you?",
" hey",
" so I have no reason to come over",
" I found her corpse on my bed", he whispered to the phone.
" what? how is that possible?", Ryan Chuckled,
" you didn't expect me to be explaining to you on call did you?",
" Wait! Are you serious?", he asked again but he didn't reply, " okay fine, I'm coming",
