Since She Met Lucian

Amelia didn't know what to reply to Lucian. 'How do I get rid of this man!' she thought, praying for divine intervention. After taking a deep breath, she decided that it was time to face him. Swiftly, she raised her head to look at him.

The scene she saw scared her stiff and made her heart skip a beat. Right behind Lucian was Shelly, staring menacingly at her.

"It's late now. Let me send you back." Lucian told her, oblivious that Shelly was with them.

After the initial shock had worn off, Amelia, who just came back to her senses, said in a very low voice, "Miss Shelly..." Her heart started beating incredibly fast and cold sweats began to appear on her forehead. It was as if her body was preparing her for the mess that was going to happen.

Shelly stood hidden from the light. Despite that, Amelia could still clearly see the expression on her face—cold, exasperated, dangerous. Even though Lucian was standing between them, she could still feel the sharpness of her glare.

Lucian was able to quickly pick up the fear clouding Amelia's eyes. Because of that, he turned his heads towards the place Amelia was staring at.

"Lucian, you... How could you do this to me!" Shelly emerged from the darkness and into the light. Her eyes were already moist with tears as she pointed her fingers back and forth between Lucian and Amelia.

"Miss Shelly, we are not..."

"Shut up, Amelia!" Shelly shouted, her voice filled with anger and hurt. With her shaking hands she pointed at Lucian and Amelia's interlocked hands, saying, "Did you really think that no one will notice that?"

To appease the angry Shelly, Amelia quickly let go of Lucian's hand. Unfortunately, that didn't help the situation—instead, Shelly became more furious, it showed on her face.

In contrast to an obviously panicking Amelia, Lucian looked very calm and collected. "Let me send you back first," he gently repeated, completely ignoring Shelly and turning his gaze back to Amelia. This surprised Amelia.

'What is this guy doing?' she thought, completely scandalized by Lucian's course of action. 'Is he trying to make everything more complicated than it already is?'

"Mr. Lucian," she finally said in a firm tone after a few moments of silence. "Could you please respect me?" She angrily stepped away from Lucian, glaring at him as if to warn him against going anywhere near her. After doing that, she looked up at Shelly and bowed deeply. "Miss Shelly, I'm so sorry," she said. "I didn't expect what happened. Please do not worry, this will never happen again."

Lucian, however, was not having any of it. "Nonsense!" he bellowed, making the two women near him jump. "Watch your language, Amelia!" With defiance on his face, he started walking towards Amelia.

"Lucian, you heard her!" Shelly shouted, running after Lucian and holding him back. "Don't make a fool out of yourself!" Looking at the two people in front of her, Amelia couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

She wanted to hide and run away, but instead, she faked a smile and said in a heartfelt manner, "Mr. Lucian and Mrs. Shelly, I wish you all the happiness in the world."

As she turned around to leave, she felt a hand clamp down on her shoulder so tightly that it hurt. She knew it was Lucian, and so she tried her best to shake it off, but unfortunately, she couldn't.

After seeing what Lucian was doing, Shelly couldn't help but shed some tears. "Lucian, are you really going to do this to me?" she loudly lamented. Her voice was so full of sorrow and pain that even Amelia felt so deeply for her.
