Chapter 19

“Come in,” Mason said as he stepped through the door of his penthouse apartment. He set Amelia’s bags down in the hall before he stood back and watched as she nervously stepped inside.

She had been quiet since they left her parent’s house. First they had to go back to Mason’s hotel room to collect his belongings, then they set out on the long drive back to New York.

About twenty minutes into the journey, Amelia fell asleep and Mason was glad that she finally seemed at peace in herself. He spent most of the journey worrying that she would wake up and realise the enormity of what she had just done, and insist on going back.

Mason was happy she was coming back with him, it was what he wanted, but this wasn’t how he wanted it to be.

He thought about Amelia’s father and the things he had said. He wished he could have said the man was just an asshole, and the things he said were bullshit, but in his heart he knew Charlie was right.

He did work with some less than desirable characters, but Mason never had any dealings with them that wasn’t always above board. Yes, he was well paid, but he always acted professionally.

Still, he wished he could stand by every decision he had made and say he had acted like a decent human being every time, but he knew he hadn’t, and that’s why he knew Charlie was right in a way.

He didn’t agree with how he treated Amelia, far from it. He would have liked nothing more than to knock both Charlie, and his little sidekick, Jeremy on their asses for how they had spoken to Amelia, but he knew that Charlie was really only trying to look out for his daughter, even if he went about it the wrong way.

He needed to make him see that yes, although he might not have been the nicest human being in the past, how he felt about Amelia was a game changer. He just didn’t know how he could do that.

“You must be starving,” Mason said as he led Amelia down the long hallway to the spacious living area. His home was bright and airy. Mason hated clutter, everything had to have its place, but his home was warm and welcoming. Mason was happy to be back there.

Having Amelia here was very new for Mason. He had always made it a point of not bringing girls back to his home. This was his space, his sanctuary. He had always preferred to keep his long string of girls, separate from here. That was, until he met Amelia.

Now, seeing her here, standing in the middle of his living room, it felt right. It felt like she belonged.

“I am not really hungry,” she replied as she turned to look at Mason. She looked so sad, it almost broke his heart.

“But you have to eat,” Mason pushed. “Maybe we could settle you in first, then we can order some food. A pizza perhaps.
