Chapter 868: The one in charge
Amelia knew she had to get away from that house before his presence consumed her, and she did something stupid she would regret later on. She never wanted to leave Eida and Angela when she knew they needed her. But she had to think of herself this time.
Suddenly, she thought that maybe it was time that she moved on with her life. She already had put on hold her career, babysitting her friends. Not that she did not enjoy her stay with them.
But she realized that now that the baby was born, Evan would probably have reasons to visit the house more often. Honestly, she had discovered that she could not handle seeing him and not being able to have him.
Then, her feet suddenly hit the breaks as her eyes noticed the sudden change in the traffic lights. She felt like her heart almost jumped out of her chest from the strong impact. Luckily, she had her seatbelt on her body, or she probably flew outside her window.
Honking!
Swearing!
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
That followed closely behind as she stared at her side mirror. The other driver behind her was giving her the finger. She probably deserved that for not paying attention to the road. She almost had an accident and probably put others in danger.
.....
“I’m sorry!” She tried to shout back to the other car. But she doubted he heard her. Then, after a few seconds, the lights turned green again, giving her the ‘GO’ signal to move.
However, the earlier event had her still calming her nerve as she tried to recover. As expected, the driver behind her had to swerve to her other side to get passed her. Of course, he had something to say about female drivers as he overtook her car.
After two more deep breaths, she stepped on the gas and moved on her way. She should not let one incident stop her from where she was going. But the funny thing was, she had no idea about her destination.
There was no foundation meeting. It was just a lie to get out of the house. But before she could think about her situation, something caught her eyes. Blinking lights were not far behind her.
She hastily turned her steering wheel, moving aside, thinking it was probably some emergency. But as the sound increased and the police car came nearer, she realized that it was tailing her, asking her to park her car on the side.
Suddenly, dread washed over her, believing she might have committed a violation. The other driver might have reported her. Now, the police stopped her, probably to question her about the earlier incident.
“You have nothing to worry about since no one was hurt. It was just probably the ego of that man.” She thought of the very inconsiderate driver.
As soon as she pulled over on the curb, the police officer stopped and got off the car, walking to her side. She would be crazy not to feel nervous as she tapped on her window. At least it was a female officer, making her less anxious if it was a man.
“Do you know your violation, Miss?” The police asked, making her think if this had something to do with the stop light incident. The uniformed woman leaned down to check on her, asking her name.
“I am not sure. Can you enlighten me?” She asked after giving the officer her information, still unable to think of any other possible reason the officer would stop her.
“Well, Ms. Stewart, it would seem that you were speeding away.” The police officer said.
“Excuse me, but I don’t understand. I don’t think I was that fast.” Amelia was confused, not comprehending what the officer accused her of doing.
“Let me call for backup so that you might understand it better.” The officer waved to her back, signaling for his partner to come to join them.
“I don’t think that would be necessary. If you want to issue a ticket, that is fine with me.” She did not want to worsen her situation, pulling her wallet from her bag to get her license.
The faster this was over, the better.
She believed her day just had gone from bad to worse. All she wanted to do now was to check herself into a hotel room and cry until she fell asleep. At least, if that was even possible.
She was talking about having the worse day ever.
“No need for that.” A familiar voice spoke as she handed her license through the window. When she looked up, imagine her surprise when it was not a police officer in a uniform who stood outside her door.
“I am sorry about the mixed up, but I need to talk to you. It is the only way I can think of.” He paused, rubbing his head in frustration. “I know you are running away from me, but I need to stop you.”
She could not believe that he could do this, even using police officers to do his dirty tricks. She did not know if she should be flattered that he would go to all this length to talk to her or be mad for scaring her half to death.
“Are you crazy? You almost gave me a heart attack.” It might be an exaggeration, but she needed her message sent across.
She did not like the stunt he had just pulled. From all the stupidest things he had to do, she believed this beat all the rest. But she would give him credit for his creativity.
“I am sorry, but there was no way I could catch up with you.” Evan could see that she was pissed. He would face her wrath if, at the end of it all, was a chance for her to forgive him. “Please, give me a chance to explain.”
This time, he knelt on the pavement, just outside her window, before the police officers, begging her to forgive him. It was certainly starting to attract attention as passersby on the street stopped to watch.
“Fine, get inside my car before everybody takes pictures, and we find ourselves on the internet.” Amelia could see several people converging on the other side of her car to snoop on their affair.
Immediately, Evan said thank you to the two officers and climbed into the passenger side of her car. Once he had his seatbelt, she started the engine and pulled out of the sidestreet.
“Thanks for letting me explain.” He quickly said as silence enveloped the small space. He could sense she was fuming, but at least she was willing to listen.
“It was not as if you gave me a choice,” Amelia answered, thinking that it was like he held her against her will at gunpoint, but it was ok.
She needed this to be over soon as she drove somewhere where they could talk privately. This time, she was taking over the narrative. She would be the one in control.
“But just a reminder, no more tricks...” She paused as she looked at the street before turning to him, glancing directly into his eyes. “...no more lies.” For a change, she was the one in charge.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
