Circle Of Love

Chapter Six

Three days later, Amy sat there in the bedroom sitting by the window staring out at the sky. When Lucas found her, he knocked Matthew out and tied her up and carried her out the door and brought her back to his estate and locked her in the bedroom. She tried to escape but there was no way out. She was a prisoner of her husband. He assured her that Matthew was okay and that he's returned home. He allowed JJ and Sam to visit her but under the watchful eye of a guard. She sat there with tears running down her cheeks as she heard the door being unlocked. She wiped her face and just stared out the window.

"Good morning dear wife," Lucas said. She didn't say anything.

"Not speaking I see, I brought you some food," Lucas said. She still didn't speak.

"I know you are upset and all that, you didn't give me much choice, I know you didn't have a choice in this marriage and to tell you the truth, neither did I," Lucas said.

"Then why do this," Amy said.

"Because I'm attracted to you, they showed me a picture of you and I fell for you," Lucas said.

"I'm in love with Matthew," Amy said.

"I know you are, but you are my wife, you have to let him go, Amy, for your safety and for his," Lucas said.

"Are you threatening him?" Amy asked.

"No, I wouldn't do that, I couldn't do that to you," Lucas said.

"Then what," Amy said.

"My rivals, they believe in true love and honor, if they find out that my wife is in love with another man, both of your lives would be at risk," Lucas said.

"Oh god," Amy said.

"I can't lie to you, Amy, I swear to you," Lucas said.

"So I have to let him go and never talk or see him again," Amy said.

"Amy, I'm not going to take you away from your job, you will still see him, just can't be his girl anymore," Lucas said.

"Oh god," Amy said.

"I'm sorry," Lucas said.

Three days later, she arrived at the agency where she was met by her brothers and Matthew. They sat down and she explained everything. Matthew took her hands in his.

"Amy, I want to be with you more than anything, but if our safety is at risk, we should do what he says," Matthew said.

"I know, if anything happened to you, it would kill me," Amy said.

"We will always be friends, I can't lose you from my life," Matthew said.

"I will always love you," Amy said.

"And I you," Matthew said

"I'm sorry it has to be this way," Amy said.

"I know, Amy, it's okay," Matthew said.

"I'll have to come pack my things from the condo," Amy said.

"Sis, me and Sam already started doing that, we knew you would have to be with Lucas," JJ said.

"Hey everyone," Frank said.

"Hey Frank," Amy said.

"Hey Frank," Matthew said.

"Hey Frank," Sam said.

"Hey Frank," JJ said.

"How's things going with Jamie?" Amy asked.

"Amazing, we are officially a couple," Jamie said.

"That's great," Amy said.

"Amy, how you holding up?" Jamie asked.

"I'm hanging in there," Amy said.

"We had to end our relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend and be friends," Matthew said.

"Oh?" Jamie said.

"It's a long story," Amy said.

"I believe I know why, Nick told me about mafia families and how they want to make sure that the wives stay true to their husbands," Jamie said.

"Yeah, I have to be the doting wife to Lucas," Amy said.

"Miss Amy, time to go," Greg said.

"Hold up, you have to deal with him?" Matthew asked.

"Unfortunately," Amy said.

"I know my place, she's my boss now as well," Greg said.

"One step out of line and he's fired," Amy said.

"And that's what Lucas told me as well," Greg said.

"So she can't work here anymore?" JJ asked.

"Lucas said he doesn't want to take me away from my job so I came here to work," Amy said.

"Let me call him," Greg said. He went out the door. Amy sat there.

"I don't like that guy," Matthew said.

"Me either but I have to put up with him," Amy said.

"Okay he agrees with you, he will pick you up at five," Greg said.

"Fine," Amy said.

"Matthew, I need you and JJ to come look at the swim trunks for the shoot in Miami," Frank said. They left the room. Amy got out her camera and began cleaning it.

"You okay?" Jamie asked.

"Not really no," Amy said.

"I'm here for you," Jamie said.

"Thanks Jamie," Amy said. Jamie hugged her and went out the door. Amy continued cleaning her camera equipment.
