"Aren't you ashamed, Sophia? What's all this?" Keith asked, his disappointment and annoyance evident. Amelia couldn't hold back a laugh, emitting a soft chuckle with her voice low, and she looked at Keith, smiling. Sophia, in response, became angry and burst into tears.
"You jerks! Keith, you'll regret what you did to me!" she exclaimed, a hint of resentment in her voice.
Going closer to Amelia, planning on slapping her, Keith intervened, firmly gripping Sophia's hand. "I despise the fact that someone like you is interested in me, Sophia. It disgusts me. Do not attempt anything foolish by touching my wife, and consider leaving now. You're ruining our day," he asserted with stern resolve touching a fake smile at her.
After the chaos Sophia caused, leaving the hall in disgrace and embarrassment, every activity resumed its normal course. Standing aside, they received everyone's congratulations and blessings. Amelia's body trembled with nervousness, fear, and apprehension.
"We'll be leaving soon," Keith said, holding her hands tightly, his voice calm as he noticed Amelia's sudden change. She nodded in agreement, offering a smile.
"Goodbye, Lisa. Thank you, everyone. See you soon," she sniffed, bidding her friends farewell as they smiled back at her.
"Call me anytime, love. I'll be there for you," Lisa said, hugging her tightly.
"Mrs. Amelia, we should leave now," George suggested. "Coming. Thank you," she replied, turning to say goodbye once more to her friends. "Bye," she waved.
In the car, a hush settled; no one spoke. Keith handed her the phone, saying, "I'm sorry it took long. Here's your phone." She thanked him, took her phone, and switched it on.

She couldn't hold it in anymore; she wanted to strangle Amelia so badly. She wished her dead because of what she did. Who does she think she is?" Sophia seethed, sipping her drink as she replayed every bit of the disregard that Keith did to her today. "ARGHHHHHHHHH" she became more pissed and pissed till she broke all the bottles of tequila that was next to her.

The car came to a halt in front of a breathtakingly beautiful, long building. As the engine turned off, Keith opened the door and extended his hand to her.
Intrigued, she thought to herself, "What's wrong with him? Why is he acting all sweet? Someone who was cold to me just yesterday."
Surveying the surroundings as they entered, the garden caught her eye with its beauty, prompting her to express, "Wow." Pleased with the sight. "Welcome, ma'am," a sweet voice greeted her. "My name is Anastasia, and I'll be working for you from today." She smiled warmly. Amelia reciprocated, saying, "I'm Amelia. Nice to meet you."
As they entered the living room, her attention was drawn to a painting on the wall.
It was a painting depicting a child crying as he watched his mom leaving him. "This painting," she murmured, her eyes welling up with tears. "My painting," she said, her emotions evident. Despite being a fashion design student, painting was one of her talents, something she enjoyed more than anything.
Amelia's POV:
Dad returned home on a Sunday evening after missing for three days. He came back drunk and battered, looking rough. I had been stressed and cried during those days, fearing he had run away and left me. I couldn't go anywhere, not to school, not outside. I locked myself at home and started painting without eating anything."
"When he came back, I was dozing off. When I woke up, the painting was gone.
"Dad, where did you take my painting?" I cried out loud. Before I could finish talking, he took my paint palette and smashed it on my head. "When you're done with all you're doing now, draw more of it," he mumbled. He was so drunk that he fell when he finished blabbering his words. I was furious and almost had a heart attack because that painting was my newfound love. I poured all I had into it. I fell for it the moment I was drawing it. Why would my father do such a thing to me? I turned and saw him sleeping on the floor, but I couldn't help but take him to his room because if he woke up there, it would be the end of me."
