Since She Met Lucian

Amelia bit her lower lip and quietly retreated her steps, not wanting to disturb the seemingly loving couple.

When she left, she couldn't ignore the overwhelming sadness that she was feeling. It didn't help that tears were falling down her face too.

It was a nice day outside. As she walked, she felt the cold wind blowing in her face. Trembling in her thin coat, she didn't expect for today to be a chilly one. She thought that by now she would be sweating buckets.

She stood at the corner of the street and looked at the busy city. Suddenly, she wondered where she should go.

She pulled up Courtney's number on her phone, hesitating for a while. They had just seen each other the other night after all. That night, Courtney expressed her worries about how Amelia was acting. Who knows what Courtney would do if she saw Amelia like this? She might even confront Lucian!

With that, she decided that she wasn't going to tell Courtney about her deal with Lucian. She just thought it was better that less people knew about it and she also just didn't want Courtney to worry about her.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed startling her that she almost dropped her phone. It was Lucian calling.

A bitter smile emerged on her lips. 'Why is he thinking of me while he's with his girlfriend?'

For some reason, she felt sad. Even though she knew that her marriage with Lucian was just fake, she still cared about their relationship.

When her phone stopped ringing, she sent Lucian a text message that wrote, "I'm going shopping. Enjoy your day with Sasha."

After that, she took a deep breath. When she was about to cross the street, her phone vibrated again.

It was Lucian calling again. She rejected the call without hesitation.

If Lucian called again, she was going to turn off her phone so he couldn't call again.

She didn't even know why she wasn't answering his calls.

As much as she wanted Lucian to be happy with Sasha, there was still a part of her that felt sad.

When she recalled what she had told Iris, she felt distressed. It didn't help that Lucian had overheard her too.

Who wouldn't be embarrassed? She practically confessed her love to a man but was rejected ruthlessly.
