"My God Luke, what the heck are you doing. balls deep in a common maid. Would your father ever like that?" She said and Luke suddenly scowled.
"What I do is none of your business" he said firmly and tugged on his pants without an ounce of shame. His mother blue eyes suddenly looked sinister.
"You are an idiot Luke" her eyes flickered to Amy's for a moment before they fell on Luke. "You'll have to marry her, to avoid a scandal and to serve as a punishment"
"What?" Luke said in outrage.
"What?" Amy said in surprise but deep down a feeling of joy was slowly spreading.
"No" Luke said suddenly and all of Amy's hopes came crashing down.
"No?" Lady Sarah said and Luke eyes turned stony.
"I am not marrying her" he said and Lady Sarah raised a brow.
"You were practically having sex so why are you so adamant on not getting married." She said and Luke expression was close to a sneer.
"I have sex with everyone here. Including your married friends, it doesn't count." He said through clenched teeth and his mother slapped him hard across the face. Amy gasped, she had never seen his mother this angry with him, never.
"You'll do as I say" she growled and he glared up at her. Venomous rage clouded his eyes and Amy could suddenly see how dangerous he was.
"Don't ever do that again, My boys would not like that even if it was coming from you" with that he turned on his heels and walked away not even bothering to glance back at her. His mother stared at her, though Amy couldn't make out the expression on her face Amy knew it wasn't good, she righted her self and slowly walked to her room. She sighed, and again she felt the tears threatening to spill. She couldn't believe that Luke had not want anything to do with her as if she was some kind of disease or plague. Maybe she should just leave. She had to put this chapter of her behind her forever. Her parents had left her a house in Portugal and a small fortune to start a business, it should be enough. The next morning Amy quietly gathered all her belongings and put them in a bag. Amy met lady Sarah at the pool, casually treading water with her feet.
"What do you want?" The older woman spoke up and Amy sighed.
"I came to aolologize for everything" she said and Lady Bonucci snorted.
"Your apology is not needed, Luke was the idiot to sleep with you" she said and Amy nodded calmly, the statement hurt her but she let that slide, she was putting all this behind her, including this.
"And I want to say that I am leaving" she said and Luke's mother stopped playing with the water with her feet, she slowly turned and turned her icy gaze on Amy.
"Are you so weak willed, to run after a small battle" she said and Amy shrugged.
"I have fought enough, time to go" she said and the older woman turned.
"Then get out, never show your face here again" she said and Amy nodded.
"I don't intend too" she shot back, she was done being nice and soft. Lady Bonucci smiled.
"I like you Amy Blake, we could have been friends" she said and Amy shook her head and walked out of that door, as she basked in the afternoon sun, she grinned. She had never felt so free in her entire life.

Amy sighed as she saw the house, it was just has her parents had described. She smiled to herself and walked in, the inside was fairly spacious and neat. She sniffed when she saw the pictures on the wall similar to the pictures in her bag. She walked closer and picked the picture of her dad off the wall. In the photo her dad was grinning, his hair was windblown and his brown eyes, brown eyes like hers looked full of life, she didn't imagine someone like her dad could die of a car accident. She opened the bedroom door and dropped her belongings. She brought her a pen and her diary.
Hello there,
It has been hours since I left America and here I am in a new country. The air here feels cleaner and there is not much noise as it was back in Miami. I feel so much free and haven't thought of Luke but I still wonder what he must be doing. Does he even care that I left, does he even love me at all.
My house is so beautiful and nice, the country too. Portugal is such a quiet and peaceful country compared to America. The neighbors are friendly and the natural scenery is beautiful. I can't hardly believe I am out of America. I have been there all my life.
She dropped her pen and diary and plopped back on the bed. She still missed Luke very much but she was done with him. He had made her life hell ever since he came back from Italy. Amy still found it hard to believe that he had ever forgotten about close they were as teenagers and foolishly she had given up a her virginity for him to exploit. Amy didn't regret it because she loved him, but she was tired of being his plaything to use and dump away as he pleases. A knock sounded on the door and she rushed to the front door and opened. At the front door was a tall handsome man. Not as handsome as Luke but very handsome that it made Amy stare.
"Hey. Saw you just moved in, came to say hi" he said and Amystared at him. Say Hi? She just moved in.
"It's alright, it's normal here to do so" he said when he saw Amy's face and he smiled.
"Oh" She said and a smile tugged on her lips.
"How nice" she added and extended her hand.
"I am Amy" she said and he grinned.
"Milo" he said simply.
