It was already getting to the end of the year and it was the end of the journey for final year students at the university. Amelia Robinson held tightly to her suitcase as if she was afraid to lose it .She stood lonely at the entrance of her university,one of the most prestigious in the country.
Everything felt like a dream to her. She just entered college a few years ago, and it felt like yesterday. Friends hugged each other not wanting to part ways. Looking at them the lump in her throat increased. She never had a thing like friend or anything.
Amelia, one must say was a rare piece of gem, very extraordinary. Her straightened coal dark hair rested gently on her but. She also possessed a pair of emerald doe eyes which was almost rare. She looked so innocent and cute and unconsciously seductive.
She was chased by countless guys every day, but she'll just scoff, shrug and give them the cold shoulder. They were only after her mesmerizing and extraordinary looks. She thought.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Her phone vibrated and rang in her pocket. She was pulled back to reality by the ring of her phone. It rang a few more times before she picked it up.
"Uncle, why is the driver so late?..."she asked with that angelic and innocent voice of hers. On the other end, her uncle hesitated before he spoke out.
"Amelia...your car was sent to maintenance so could you just take a taxi home?" he said with a grumpy voice which carried coldness in them and could send shivers down one's spine.
She hesitated for a bit before she hung up the phone.
She took in a deep breath and sighed...what was she even expecting?. She scolded herself inwardly. It was hard to get online taxis these days.
Uggghhh!!!! She sighed in frustration.
At the mansion of the Mona's...
"Uncle Mona I'm back!!"the sweet Amelia shouted when she got to the large hall of the Mona's. She had a smile plastered on her face which looked faker than anything she had ever seen. That's the least she could do huh! She thought to herself.
"Amelia!!!" suddenly a really sweet and tiny voice shouted with joy from behind her. The owner of the voice hurriedly descended the stairs and hugged Amelia from behind with her eyes full of joy and admiration.
Since she became an orphan, she was taken in by her uncle who treated her just like an orphan. No love...just all that she needed to see every next day. Her cousin, Bridget was the only one who actually cared about her feelings and she did everything to keep her happy.
"Amelia I missed you so much" Bridgette who was just the same age as Amelia whined. She was hell childish. Not that Amelia cared, she actually loved her that way. Amelia dropped her suitcase and wrapped her arms around Bridgette...she smiled, this time her smile was more genuine. She handed an LV shopping bag to Bridgette . The smile on their faces grew stronger that it made their cheeks ache.
Amelia knew Bridgette for one was fashionable. Bridgette's surprised exclaim could be heard all over the place...the joy she felt was so visible on her face.
It was a black limited edition fit dress adorned with diamonds which was worth millions .
"You're the best sister ever" Bridgette hugged Amelia.
Just as the two were catching up,the butler who had a grumpy face and always disliked Amelia came for her suitcase and sent it upstairs.
"Oh dear you're back..." Aunt Mona's voice hit her, and she turned in her direction to see her walking side by side with Uncle Mona. As usual the smile plastered on Aunt Mona's face could burn the grumpy face of Uncle Mona if he was a vampire.
Noticing their arrival, she bowed politely. The smile on her face has disappeared, and she looked like an obedient lamb.
"welcome back dea-..."Aunt Mona was caught off by the grumpy Uncle Mona.
"Amelia meet me in my study now"
"Okay"...she replied submissively ...
Amelia sat opposite Uncle Mona at his office. The atmosphere was tense as usual just as it was whenever they met.
The study had a mixture of modern and olden decor. She tried to avoid his intense gaze on her only to be welcomed by the intimidating bull's head on the wall. She flinched at the sight of it. It had always been something she had the urge to take it down ever since she stepped foot in his study.
"You know you don't have time right?" came the voice of Mr. Mona. His voice was so empty and carried no emotions at all. Same could be said for his eyes.
Amelia widened her eyes at his words. Not that she was displeased or something...she was just surprised. However she kept a straight face regardless whatever she did.
She absolutely knew what her uncle was talking about. Her parents were killed and sister were killed leaving her an orphan with nothing except her uncle's loving family kind enough to take her in...and yes she didn't have time.
Lost in thoughts, she nodded. Lifting her head up she looked right into her uncle's eyes.
"What to do..."she said with visible danger dancing in her eyes.
She had to get revenge...every time she talked about her family, she fought the urge not to burst down into tears. The burning rage inside her was just making her stronger and stronger.
Mr. Mona tossed a file to her and without wasting a second she took it. Her gaze hardened as he kept looking at the information in the file.
In the file was the portrait of two young men.
One was just ordinarily handsome but the other was breathtaking.
OMG!!! She screamed inside her head...well it was a sinister scream anyway.
He possessed a pair of unusual red eyes and tousled hair which made him look sexy as hell. He had extraordinary facial features.
Whatever she just couldn't let their faces deceive her.
"Roman Raven and Kenneth Raven..."her voice trailed off...her voice carried something hateful which fingers couldn't be pointed on.
A subtle arc curved on her lips and she clenched her fist. She looked cold and bloodthirsty.
"Kenneth is the one behind the death of your family. He is currently competing with his ruthless bloodthirsty and mysterious younger brother for the position as head of the Raven family "Mr. Mona explained further the information in the file. He kept his voice low and cool as if a little higher will cause them a leak of information.
Of course Mr Mona knew Amelia was lost in her own thoughts to hear what he was saying but he still said it anyway.He just had to get Amelia who was a burden off him.He knew she wouldn't survive even a second messing with the Raven family. He smiled sinisterly in his head. Poor thing thought she got someone to rely on. He thought.
