Chapter 58: Beyond Appearances

Amelia’s POV

While I was still staring at Cindy, Williams grabbed my hand. “Let her be, she can rant but there’s no way she’s going to stay here.” He muttered.

“I don’t want to sit here and watch her sit on the couch staring at me.” I got up from the couch to leave. 

“Where are you going?” 

“I will be in the room.” I muttered, with a low voice.

I expected him to follow me to the room but he didn’t.

“Don’t tell me you are going to sit here with her while I stay there alone.” I said.

“You’re just unbelievable, I can’t believe you are saying this.” Cindy spat, rudely. “You should get your things out of that room because I will be sleeping in there with him tonight.”

I was speechless, unsure of what to say to her. I didn’t want to exchange words with her, all I wanted was to go into the bedroom. I didn’t know what I was going to do there but I just wanted to leave. 

Cindy's presence won’t stop me from being happy and I felt Williams knew exactly what to do, there was no point fighting her. 

I watched her standing from the couch. She walked to where Williams was standing. She placed her hand on his chest. I couldn’t take that but I waited for Williams' reaction. I fixed my gaze on him expecting him to punch her but he didn’t. Why was I jealous? Do something, I muttered within me. 

Why will he just sit and watch her touch him like that? I guess Cindy was doing all of that to make me jealous but I didn't want to give her the chance to think I was jealous. 

I watched Williams hold her hand, which she had placed on his chest, and he pulled it away slowly. “Don’t do this.”

“Are you saying this because Amelia is here? I can just fuck you here so she can watch.”

I smiled. 

“She isn’t saying anything and she’s not stopping you, let’s do this quick.” She said, removing her bra.

“What do you think you are doing?” Williams asked.

That was not the reaction I was expecting from williams. She was going too far than I expected. 

“You can naked yourself, there's a hidden camera in here so I will let you do what you want.” I lied.

“What?” She said, putting on her bra quickly.

“It must have captured your boobs, how will you feel seeing this all over the internet?” 

Williams stood, letting me do the talking. He was wondering if I was really serious about the hidden camera. They had no idea I was lying but I thought it would be a good idea if I did something like that. “You’re still standing here? Nah, don't put your clothes on, The camera needs to capture everything.”

“Williams, you stood here and watched her speak to me in this manner, what  kind of person are you huh?” 

Amelia quickly grabbed her bags and left. 

She shut the door on her way out and I was glad she had done that. I didn’t have to go through the stress of closing it myself.

“Why are you staring at me like that? Or you actually wanted her to stay? I can call her back while I leave.” I said. 

Williams rolled his eyes, “I will be in the room.” 

I nodded, I thought I could act upset but I found myself walking behind him.

Author’s Pov

Cindy stood outside the apartment for a while. She didn’t come with her car and there was no cab passing by. Just then she saw a familiar face. It was Dorian. What was he doing out here? She stopped the car, “You’re here to see Williams?” 

“Nah, just stopped by to visit the nearby orphanage home.” He said. “What about you? I guess you’re here to see your fiance.” 

She rolled my eyes, how was I to tell him Williams sent me out of his house because of Amelia. She thought.

“Are you okay?” 

“Huh? yeah— Can you take me home?”

Dorian could sense something was off but he wasn’t sure, She rolled her bag, he opened the car door and she got in.

“So tell me, what actually happened? He sent you out?” 

Cindy just wanted him to drive without bringing up any conversation. “Can you stop talking?” 

Dorian knew she was rude despite the fact that he was trying to help her. She doesn’t see that as a favor. 

“You can stop the car over there.” She said, pointing at a cafe along the roadside. 

Dorian stopped the car, Cindy got down immediately. Dorian watched her walk into the cafe, he thought joining her was a good idea. So he stretched his hand,  took the jacket from the back seat in his car, put it on quickly and then left the car. I walked into the cafe, I sighted her sitting at a corner. I then approached her.

“What are you doing? Do you have to follw me here?” 

“You look so heartbroken and sad, I thought its best you tell me what is going on.” 

“What the fuck is wrong with you? Just leave.” She spat.

“Nah, I can’t leave you in such state.” He paused. “Waiter— get us some drinks” He said.

Cindy sighed. “Yeah, I need that,” 

They waited for the bartender to bring the drinks, after a while it was brought to their table. Cindy quickly gabbed a bottle, she had drank like she'd been thirsty. 

“Take that slowly.” Dorian muttered, she was getting herself drunk already. 

“Get me more drinks—” Cindy murmured, 

Dorian ordered more drinks for her, they were both getting themselves drunk. Cindy was so drunk already, She sat on the floor, Dorian who was also drunk was unsure of what to do. Thwe were already causing a scene. 

“You should leave now,” The person in charge of the cafe said. 

Dorian struggled to get Cindy up to her feet, “Jeez, I don’t have any idea of where she lives.”

“William—William, You can’t continue to do this to me.” She said, with a low voice.

Dorian drove to a hotel, he didn’t have her address and he thought taking her to his house was not a good idea.

He struggled to take her in because she was already half asleep. Dorian noticed someone was spying but it was like a flash, the person had taken a picture of them and drove off fast. He just tried to put that aside. “It’s nothing.” He tried to assure himself.
