Loving The Enemy

AMELIA’S POV

After the Wellingtons destroyed my life, my mother decided to leave Wellington city with me when I was just fourteen years old. My father had just died and my mother wanted a fresh start.

When I was eighteen years old, my mother died from a heart attack and I was left all alone in the world as an orphan. That’s when I started plotting against the Wellingtons. I was so angry that everything had been taken away from me and I needed someone to blame. You see, my father died because of the Wellingtons. That’s why I hate them so much.

I’m twenty-three years old presently, so I’ve had five years to perfect my plan.

First, make Michael Wellington fall in love with me. I’m a beautiful woman. I’ve always known it and I’ve had many years to practice how to seduce a man. Michael doesn’t stand a chance once I start with him.

My life didn’t just end when my mother died. I decided to become the best version of myself. Besides, if you want to play with fire, then you have to be just as hot.

I decided to become filthy rich. No one really knows who I am because I work online and keep to myself. In order for me to ruin someone as rich and powerful as Michael Wellington, then I had to become rich and powerful myself. And so, I did.

I just wish my parents were alive to witness my success. They would have been proud of the person I turned out to be. Money makes the world go round and maybe if I had enough money back then, I would have been able to give my mother the treatment she needed and she would still be with me today.

My loss didn’t turn me into a cry baby, or a quitter. No, it made me stronger and offered me the motivation I needed to carry out this plan.

I have a list of all the people that have been hurt or have died because of the Wellingtons. You’d be surprised how many people this family has hurt. All for money and power. One by one I will give each of these families the justice that no one else could give them.

However, what’ll hurt the most is when Michael Wellington finds out who is behind his downfall. I will make him fall for me, then I’ll make him trust me. I will insert myself into his life until I find out all his dirty little secrets.

Then I’ll crush him.

He won’t see it coming. My best tactic is manipulation. It won’t be easy, but the last thing I’ll do is underestimate myself. I have to be smarter than him, more cunning than him.

I don’t know the man and he doesn’t know me, but I know all of his sins and that’s enough. Game on.

The first thing I did before moving back to Wellington was to buy a house. I had it equipped with everything I would need to carry out my plan two months before moving in.

And of course, I bought one of the most expensive properties that belonged to Michael Wellington himself. That was enough to make him notice that there’s a new millionaire in town. I’m sure he was even more intrigued when he found out it was a woman who had bought the property. That’s probably why he sent me an invitation to a fund-raising ceremony his family is hosting tonight.

Another tactic to make people think they’re angels. But I know better. I know who they are when everyone else isn’t watching. And soon, everyone will know too.

The party started two hours ago but I deliberately wanted to be late. My limo is currently outside waiting for me. I settle for a tight red satin gown that hugs my figure in all the right places. It has spaghetti straps that show off my shoulders and a good portion of my back.
