Author POV
The next morning, Amelia woke up to the soft rays of sunlight peeking through the curtains. The events of the previous night lingered in her mind, but she tried to push them away, focusing on the present. She sat up in bed and glanced at her phone, it was already 8:30 AM. She was naked covered by the duvet, a bit disheveled from their brief exchange and Edward was nowhere to be seen.
The bed beside her was empty, the sheets still slightly disturbed where he had been lying. She sighed, her thoughts swirling again. She couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something he wasn’t telling her... that's what she felt.
Amelia stood up and made her way to the bathroom to freshen up. She ran her fingers through her hair gazing at her reflection. She was married now her life had changed in ways she hadn’t expected. Looking at herself in the mirror, she was trying to process what was happening right now and what she should even do? But at the end lost.. thinking that she is too weak for all this. Though she have left the brown family house but the harsh memories in that house didn't leave her. Those things hided her beautiful memories with Aunty Siya and Brother Noah.
Once she was done in the washroom, she went downstairs and found Maria preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
“Good morning Amelia” Maria greeted her with a warm smile.
Amelia smiled back though it felt strained. “Good morning, Aunty Maria"
“i was going to bring breakfast to your room” she said as she was done with making breakfast specially for her.
"It's okay Aunty Maria, i will take it myself" she said
"No no, you sit in the dining table, we will serve you" Maria said.
She sat down at the table and picked at the food Maria had prepared.
"You wouldn't eat Aunty Maria?" Amelia asked
"No I will have it later" Aunty Maria replied. Amelia looked at the empty chairs, feeling lonely as always like before suddenly.
"Mr. Edward have gone to the office long ago, he told me to serve your breakfast in your room" Maria informed
"I see..." Amelia replied
Maria seemed to notice her unease, her eyes flicking briefly to Amelia’s face. "You seem a bit distracted. Is everything okay?"
Amelia hesitated before responding, trying to sort through her thoughts. “I’m fine... just tired, I think.”
Before Maria could ask anything further, Lily came in with a phone and hand it to Aunty Maria.
Aunty Maria smiled and placed it on the table, it was a video call from Edward for her.
His expression softened slightly when he saw her.
“Good Morning wifey” he greeted her with a deep soft voice
She widened eyes, felt flushed with the Aunty Maria and staff presence, Aunty Maria cleared her throat making all of them to go away for there work.
“Good Morning” she replied offering a small smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. The tension from the previous night still hung in the air within her, unspoken but palpable.
Edward was sitting on his office chair, his attention careful on her. He looked over at Amelia as he reached for his black coffee.
“Did you rest well?” he asked, his voice softer now, though still with an edge to it.
Amelia nodded, but the unease was still there “Yeah, I did” she said quietly.
Edward studied her for a moment, his brow furrowing slightly. "You don't seem like you did, or is the breakfast not okay?" he remarked.
She quickly tried to mask her emotions forcing a smile. "Food is delicious... I'm just a little tired from the last night."
"Was I too hard?" He asked but there was a smirk in his face as he recalled about there bed time.
