❤ Engaged To My Enemy 🚫 [ SonAmy AU ]

Chapter 61 | 'The Confrontation'

Sonic's POV: 

Even though it was pouring rain when I got back to the Manor, I allowed myself to collapse upon my bed. My phone suddenly started to buzz with notifications. I opened one of them to see a video of Amy and me from earlier. We were both soaking in the rain as we engaged in a heated argument, completely unaware that we were being recorded and photographed. As each minute went by, it became more and more popular as the hashtag for the video ascended the leaderboards. I had to reload the site for the newer videos and for various news outlets and celebrities to start popping up. Before I glanced at the comments under the clips I watched, I frowned at the sight of them utilizing my name to obtain more views.

LOL, wasn't that Sonic and his fiancee who pretended to be in a relationship for months? I think another engagement of his this time has come to an end, lol!

It was really obvious from the start, they weren't made for each other lol. I think this was just a publicity stunt...

OMG, THIS WAS THEM???

Publicity stunt? The girl is a nobody lol. Get your facts right.

Imagine having your breakup under the rain, that tells you that shit's about to go down... LOL

Sucks to be him!! LOL!

Lol, this is just two teenagers breaking up. But when Sonic Mexuis is in the picture, I suddenly get really interested...

Even when Sonic is in the rain, he still looks heavenly!

I thought I'll never get to see the day that Sonic got dumped!! LOL!!

The comments area would continue to load fresh remarks even if I tried to scroll to the bottom. I set my phone down after seeing half a million views in only thirty minutes. Even though I would give anything to go back in time and tell Amy the truth, I am aware that I still lack the confidence to do so.

Of course, it's not a big deal for me to inform her that I head up a sizable, top-secret agency tasked with catching the person who killed my aunt. To learn what she is hiding from me, I even went out of my way to hack her uncle's laptop.

But yeah, I still lied to her. But what choice do I have? Knowing her personality, she's the type to help. If I told her and then ask me if there was any way she can help, I'll have a heart attack. But I did still tell her lies. What options do I have, though? Knowing her personality, she will do whatever it takes to try to stop me.

...

 
But then again, she's probably back home, packing her things and getting ready to go back to London. And I might never get to see her again, just because I still chose to lie to her. But maybe this was for the best. She'll be safe and happier back there than staying here. 

But do I really want her to go back to London? 

...

I hastily got up, grabbed my phone and keys, and rushed for the door, vowing to "make things right." But just as I was about to open the door, my mother entered. She gave me a wide-eyed gaze. Her voice was surprisingly soft when she asked, "Where are you going?" compared to what I anticipated given the recent news events. She ought to be screaming right about now, claiming that I should be grounded because I've tarnished the family name. Of course, it's too early to say that because she does have some of the worst mood swings in our entire family. I stepped back from her as I discreetly hide the car keys behind me. I asked, "Mom, what brings you to my room?" 

She then smiled and said, "Well, I was gonna ask you to join me and your father for dinner?" I stared at her in surprise, well of course I should. She had never invited me to dinner by herself, always ordering a maid or her butler to fetch me for dinner. Or maybe never at all. "Dinner? But it's past 7... and I'm not really hungry." I told her, avoiding eye contact. "Oh, well that's unfortunate." My mother sighed. I looked at her and faked a smile, "Yeah, sorry. You see, I really have to go now--"
