To You, with Love

PROLOGUE

I always thought love was like those fairy tales or those Disney movies where he makes sacrifices just to be with you. I was wrong, though. This is the reality we're talking about and I have never and I will never experience something like this because it's simply NOT REAL.

I was walking to my first job in a while with this thought, because I worked really hard to get my parents' permission. They refused this job, even though I loved it. It was a chance for me to start a new life away from the memories of my college days.

My phone started ringing, and as soon as I saw my savior's name, I couldn't help but smile and answer her call. I said, "Good morning, MS. Harper." It was the first thing I said before she replied, "Good morning, MS. Oliver. Actually, I called to check if you're lost by any chance."

"No need to worry, MS. Harper; I'll be there in five minutes."

"Great, see you later."

"See you later, MS Harper."

I finished my call and started walking faster just to get to my destination, and I got there safe and sound. I rang the doorbell, and a huge security guard approached me and asked, "Name." "Amelia Oliver."

"Wait a moment, please." "Okay." I never thought he would add the word "please" at the end.

"MS. Harper is waiting for you inside. You may enter." Now he was talking in a calm tone, and in response, I just nodded and started heading inside. The house was so big, and the garden was bigger, too. I was excited to see this house from the inside.

Before I could knock on the door, it was already open and I saw a silhouette of a woman before she walked toward me. How can I describe her? She was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. She had brown hair with brown hazel eyes that shone brightly in the sun, and her smile was lethal. While I was transfixed by her beauty, she began to speak, "Hi MS. Oliver, how are you?" She said.

"I'm fine, MS. Harper, and it's a pleasure to work with you." I smiled. She chuckled before she added, "You're not working WITH me, you're working WITH him." She pointed at the little boy behind her.

The reason why I accepted this offer was none other than this little boy, because from now onwards I'll become a better teacher for him and I have to help him.

"Luke, come greet your teacher." She spoke to the little boy behind her. He was hiding, and I finally knew his name.

He started walking slowly towards me, and he whispered, "Hello, my name is Luke. It's nice to finally meet you." He didn't even look at me while speaking.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Luke. My name is Amelia, and I'm your teacher." I kneeled to get to his height. He was really small and had a cute face.

He finally looked at me with a weak smile. Then Ms. Harper broke the silence and said, "Let's go inside." I nodded and followed her.

She mentioned that she took a day off to show me around and check if her son would make any mess. She also mentioned that she had never left her son alone with someone else before.

"Please have a seat." I nodded and thanked her, then she walked to the kitchen and I was left alone in this huge living room.

I must say, this house is amazing and incredibly designed. I really loved the view outside, and I loved everything about this place. It looked like a dream come true.

"I designed this house, if you're wondering." I was surprised to hear that, but I knew she was an amazing woman as soon as I talked to her on the phone.

"Hello, I'm calling for the announcement you made on that website," I said while waiting for a response.

"Hi, yes I made that announcement. If you're interested, would you like to come over next Monday?"

"Yes, of course I would love it." Is that it? I'M FINALLY GETTING A JOB.

"Great, then I'll see you on Monday." The woman said, with a rushed tone. She was probably busy, "Oh, right, I'll send you the address."

"Okay, I'll be there at eight."

"Alright, goodbye, see you"

"See you," she ended the call. I still can't believe I got a job this fast. It was the happiest day of my life since graduation.

"Please have some," MS. Harper smiled, while pointing toward the plate that had cookies and the cup of coffee on the table. I thanked her and took a sip from my cup of coffee.

Suddenly, she spoke, "I should probably explain what's going on right now." I just nodded.

"Before, I'll introduce myself. My name is Sofia Harper. I hired you as Luke's teacher because I can't take him to school yet. I just don't want him to meet his father. It's a complicated story."

We sat there in an awkward silence until she added, "Just like I said before, I designed this house because I'm a designer in a company. All these years, I kept taking my son with me to my workplace just because I couldn't leave him with someone else. I'm too scared that his father might take him away from me, even though we're not in the same city. I can't sleep without worrying about him. I hope you understand what I mean." I know nothing about her past life, but I already think it was a sad one. Not to mention, she's trying her best to give her son the best life he can have.

"I was married to this guy, whom I loved so much. He meant the world to me. We've had a wonderful life where everything was amazing until one day, I caught him cheating on me with his secretary. I felt devastated and betrayed. I divorced him and came back here. When I arrived here, I learned I was pregnant, so I decided to start a new life with this child without him knowing his existence. But it wasn't that easy. I would've suffered more if it wasn't for my brother's help. He saved our lives and he was the best father figure Luke could ever have. I can't thank him enough. He even allowed me to bring him every day to his company. Even though he hated being disturbed while working," she beamed while mentioning her brother.

"I'm sorry if I reminded you of your past." I added.

She really is a wonderful woman after all. I liked her even more. "It's okay, I wanted to tell you about this anyway. I'm just glad my son is living a cozy life. He deserves the world."

"Yes, he does."
