Betrayed by My Beta Mate Chapter 4

4 Friends

Amelia POV

I grab a sundress from my bag and sandals so I’m ready when Lily gets here. I sit on the couch and about an hour later a knock sounds on the door. I look out the peep whole first, but it’s not Lily. It’s not Atlas either, so I open the door. “Hi, Amelia, right” the young man says. “Yes, how do you know my name?” “Sorry I’m John.” “Lily asked me to bring you some dinner and to let you know she’ll be up as soon as she can.” “We had some rowdy guests she’s dealing with.” He pushes the cart in that I didn’t even notice he had. This time it only has one covered dish on it. “Thank you, John.” “You’re welcome, just call the desk if you need anything else.” “I will” I say before I shut the door locking it. John is human, so I have no reason to think he knows who I am or who Atlas is. Besides, I’m starving and the food smells good. I’m always starving anymore. I was worried, with all that’s happened, I wouldn’t be able to eat, but thankfully I still have my appetite. I lay my hand on my bump. Are you making mommy hungry bean? I take a seat and uncover the plate. Oh, my goddess, it’s chicken Alfredo. I love pasta and white sauce is my favorite. I start eating with gusto. I’m almost done when a knock sounds on the door again.

I go and look out the peep hole and this time it’s Lily. She comes in and sees my eaten plate. “I’m glad you enjoyed the food.” “I did, I hope you got to eat something too.” “Don’t worry about me I’m not growing a person.” “I’ll eat when we get to my apartment.” “Are you ready to go see the apartment?” “Absolutely” I say and we head down to her car. “There’s actually an open apartment three doors down from mine.” “That’s great, I’ll know my neighbor” I laugh. We pull into a parking garage attached to the apartment building. “You’ll have a card to get into the parking area.” “This apartment complex is pretty secure.” “The owner really cares about people.” “Do you remember how I said people helped me when I didn’t know anyone?” “Yes, I do” I say. “The owner of the building was one of those people.” “That’s wonderful that he actually cares about the people that rent from him.” “I’m sure that isn’t a common thing.”

head to a desk. “Hi Mark this is Amelia, the girl I told you about.” A man that I assume is the person in charge is behind the desk. “Nice to meet you, Amelia.” I shake his hand and he comes off around the desk with a set of keys. “Follow me and I’ll show you the apartment.” We get into an elevator and take it to the third floor. We pass two doors and stop in front of the third. The apartment reads 315 on the door. “My apartment is 317” Lily says. I smile because I’m really glad that I met Lily. He opens the door and we head inside. I look around and honestly, I love it. It’s not fancy, but I don’t need fancy.

on my face. “No, I was thinking about something else.” “I would love to go shopping with you.” “I’m not going to pressure you to talk to me but know that you can if you ever want to.” “I can’t thank you enough for all the kindness and your friendship.” “So, it’s a date then, shopping tomorrow” Lily says. We drive back to the hotel since I can’t really stay in my apartment until I get a bed. I get out of the car and lean down in the window. “Thank you, again Lily.” “What time should I be ready for tomorrow?” “I’ll pick you up and we can have breakfast.” “So around nine.” I wave and head into the hotel. As I walk, I get this weird feeling like I’m being watched. As I pass the desk, the guy from earlier John, waves at me. “Have a good evening, Amelia” he

Amelia” Star says. “We both are” I smile. Once I’m dried off and, in my pajamas, I sit back down on the couch. I look at the phone I laid on the table. I think about the last conversation I had with my mother. I think about not seeing them and having this pup without them. “Why don’t you just call them Amelia?” “They aren’t the ones that hurt you” Star says. “They are going to want me to come home and that can’t happen.” “I know my mother thinks I’m wrong because none of us thought Atlas could do such a thing.” “Amelia, your parents love you.” “If they understand what he did they would support you.”

Atlas POV

killed Elias before she saw me. I can’t worry about that right now. I plead with her to believe me but she won’t listen. When she says she intends to forget me, Silas is at the surface. The line goes dead and I throw the phone, breaking it against the wall. I look at my mother-in-law and she looks shocked and terrified. I push Silas down. “I’m sorry” I say to her and my father-in-law. “I will replace the phone.” She lays her hand on my arm. “Give her
