AMELIA'S POV
"I get it. Whatever you did was for Madeleine's own good."
I thought it would take me a day to explain them what was going on in my life? Why was Owen a.k.a my dad was forcing me to do all the shit? Why did I try to hit on Asher a.k.a Regina's husband? The reason was him being filthy rich. And most importantly who was this little kid standing beside me? But it took just several minutes to explain all this.
Ana was much patient person but I wasn't sure about Regina. I thought she would panic or get angry at me and throw me out of this house but instead she listened to me with extreme patience.
"So you're my little sister?" She said as she held Madeleine little hands in hers, who was now standing in front of her.
Madeleine nodded at her.
"Ayyy!", Ana squealed jumping out of her seat waving her cellphone in Regina's face, "I am late! What will D think of me?!"
"Nothing. He knows you're a clumsy rat!" Regina rolled her eyes.
"Blah Blah Blah! Rebs...shit...Amy. I am gonna call 'ye Amy. Okay so I gotta go. We'll meet soon 'kay? Don't forget about me...you two." She said smiling at us.
"You're my sister too?" Made interuppted pointing at Ana.
"Yes! We are the four musketeers. We're gonna rule the world!" Ana squealed again.
Dad had married Lucy, their mother just when I was born saying they were old lovers. Dad never loved mom. He barely even talked to her. He spent most of his time in New York. I had never seen Lucy but my mom told me that she died after giving birth to Anastasia.
"Don't worry about her, Mady. She's a bit too intelligent. You want some cookies?" Regina asked her and she nodded her head meekly.
"Okay. Gotta go. Bye!" Ana pecked Made and hugging me quickly, she sprinted out of the house.

"Come on, we'll get some cookies." Regina grabbed Made's hand and headed towards the kitchen, "Just coming, Am."
"Where's Asher?!" I asked her.
"In the study!" She shouted as she turned around a corner and disappeared.
I leaned back into the soft cushions and looked up at the ceiling. At last, I was able to lighten the weight on my shoulders since Regina and Ana forgave me.
"Yeah. I think that would work." I heard a deep voice far behind and I quickly turned around to see Asher descending the stairs with another man in a striking attire.
His muscles rippled through his gray jacket as the luxurious Armani suit seem to fit him perfectly. He looked just like an Abercrombie model with those piercing chocolate brown eyes and dark brown locks. His chiseled jaw emphasized the light stubble on his face. Then I realized who he was. He was that Mr. Rude!?! Mr. Rude who bought the company I desperately wanted to get in?
Positive.
They reached the floor still talking about buisness when Asher turned around and his eyes widen as he noticed me sitting on the couch.
I abruptly stood up as his gaze turned into death glare.
"What are you doing here?!" Asher growled at me and I flinched at his raised voice.
"I-I...am...I was just-"
"Asher!" I heard Regina from the other corner and quickly turned around to see her walking towards us with Madeleine at her side stuffing herself with cookies with one hand and holding the jar with other hand.
"Madeleine! Come here!" I whisper yelled at her.
She ran to my side and kept eating those cookies as she stared at the couple almost glaring at each other.
I glanced at Mr. Rude who was looking at me with that smirk on his face making him look even sexier.
I averted my gaze back towards the couple who was whispering with each other.
After few minutes of whispering, yelling, smirking and frequent rolling of eyes with continuous stuffing of mouth with cookies, I realized I should really leave but just then Asher turned around and faced me,

"You can stay for the lunch." He said and my mouth dropped at the sudden change.
I begin, "No, I ca-"
"Please?" Regina pleaded, "It'll be fine. Just stay. Plus here Asher's friend is also joining us!" She gestured at Mr. Rude.
I looked down at Madeleine.
"I wanna stay!" She said giving me her toothy smile.
"Umm...okay." I said looking at Regina.
"Okay then come on! Lunch's ready!"
I followed Regina in the dining hall.
"You want any help?" I asked Regina.
"Oh no its fine. Maids will manage."
"Oh!" I totally forgot she's wife of a billionaire.
Asher sat in the lone chair in the middle while I sat with Regina along the side with Madeleine beside me.
Mr. Rude sat in the chair opposite mine.
Asher and Mr. Rude whose name I came to know was Alarick kept talking about business while Regina kept talking with Mady. And what I was doing? I was awkwardly sitting in the middle and gawking at Alarick.
Asher started, "So Rebe-"
"It's Amelia." I interrupted before he could say the name.
"Right Amelia, Is this girl your sister?"
He asked as the maids began placing delicious dishes in front of us. The aroma of baked and roasted beef filled the room. Its lunch right? Not dinner.
"Yeah. Madeleine's my sister." I said as everyone began eating.
"You're not related to Owen anymore?" He asked.
I gripped the hem of my dress and gulped my anger on hearing his name, "No. I'm not." I said curtly and began serving Madeleine as she kept humming twinkle twinkle.
"Where's your mother?"
Bile rose into my throat and my hand shivered as I placed the meat loaf on my plate. Why is he questioning me?!
"She...She died of cancer."
"Oh! I am sorry for your loss." He said as he took the bite of his food. His voice was out of any sympathy while his face was devoid of any vestige of emotion.
I wonder why he isn't talking to his friend or whatever he was.
I stuffed another spoon in Madeleine's mouth as she kept drumming her little fingers on the edge of the table.
"Uhmm..hummm" she scrunched up her face.
"Madeleine!?!" I whisper yelled at her while Regina chuckled bringing all attention to us.
"Not a fan of peas?" She asked chuckling.
"I hate peas!" Mady squealed.
"Madeleine! Its food. Apologize!" I raised my voice.
She looked down and brought her hands up and joining them together, she closed her eyes.
"Sorry Jesus for insulting food when some of the people don't have it. I'll never do it again."
And then she opened her eyes.
"That's like a good girl." She looked up at me and smiled goofily while I smiled back at her.
"I think my kids would be perfect if you're going to be their aunt." Regina said looking at me.
I glanced around and blushed a little as I felt everyone's gaze on me.
No words left my mouth and I just chuckled in response. I wonder how life can change utterly just in a speck of time.
Once, I was a girl who wore those skimpy dresses with plunging necklines. The one who caked her face with makeup. The girl who never knew how to blush. Shame? Shame and modesty never knocked on her door.
And now here I am blushing on a simple compliment.
Regina took a bite of her food as she looked at Alarick smiling,
"So, how's the life going, Mr. Knight?"
