Once there lived a rich and successful family which moved in new york from london in the early 1860s to start a trading company there. It was pretty successful and the family more than comfortable. It was the family of Mr Adam lewis .He had a wife and a daughter named Amelia . She was sweet clever and naive little knowing that the world is not always a happy place.
When the girl turned 19 her parents were ready to get her married to the charming son of the johnsons. He was the kind of man that every girl woud like , tall, muscular, dark hair, face of a leader and just like any other girl Amelia fell in love with him. She loved him more than anything but this fellow does not . He was ready to marry her.......... and ready to get the wealth of both the families.
One day Amelia was in her garden reading the new book her mother got her ." Amelia !" a voiced called behind her. She slowly turned with a smile on her face knowing it was he fiance . " James ! " she cried out . "i havent seen you in a long time" she said as she planted a kiss on his lips. He pulled away " Hello there you look beautiful as always dear "as he said this he saw something that caught his eye.
Amelia was wearing a chain with a gold Pearl pendant ! he brushed her black hair away from her neck to get a proper look. "This is very beautiful !" "thank you" said the naive girl ." It belonged to my grandmother. now that im 19 my mother gave it to me as she got it when she was 19."
"So how was your day ?" She asked smiling ear to ear. She loved talking to James. She loved to hear his deep voice and his smile which made her hear skip beats. She never wanted to leave him. She always wanted be near him.
While James did not give any damn about her. He was used to girls falling over for him. Born in a rich family and gifed with good looks, his ego was big. Amelia was pretty, but the amount of money her family owned was more than pretty.
His parents told him more than once that he will not finda any oher girl like their darling soon-to-be daughter in law, whom they were very fond of. They loved Amelia's childlike innocence and her family as well. But James nodded it away He did not want her, He waned the beautiful money that her family owned.
Yes she was pretty with beautiful brown eyes which gleamed always and with thick jet black hair like silk and fair skin and plump rosebud lips. But the other girls were pretty too. She was just 'another girl' to him.
Bu to Amelia James was special. She never saw anyone with striking features like him. His deep Hazel eyes, well defined cheek bones and dark ebony hair was enough to get her hypervenilated. His kisses was more than enough to brighten her day, although he never kissed her often. The wants of this couple was very simple. She wanted him, He wanted her money.
"James do you like it ?" Amelia asked tugging onto her pearl necklace. "Of course ! But it's beauty is nothing compared to yours" He smiled. He got up and plucked some easter Lillies for her. "Your flowers." He smiled and gave it to her.
"Lillies ! how did you know ?" She asked. She expected him to say "I know my future wife better than anyone" or "If iam going to get married to you, I should know you right ?" but he shrugged and answered "Lucky guess"
Small disappointment but who cares ? "James thank you." She smiled. The couple was walking down her garden and soon reached the pavillion. "James do you really love me ?" Amelia asked. Something deep down her heart was not sure.
He may say yes but everytime he sees her he did not get that complete joy and happiness. "Of course Amelia ! Why would you ever ask such a silly question ?" He said. "Then............" she began "Then what ?" He asked.
"Umm James, I just dont know, a small voice inside just puts these negative thoughts inside." She twisted a small lock of her hair, looking down. "Well do no listen to them." He smiled and came closer to her.
He placed his hands on her waist and gently pulled her into a kiss. She smiled, blushing and enjoying every momment she could be with him.
