Amelia rushed towards the hospital with tears in her eyes. When the nurse had called her to tell her that her mother was dead she knew that everything was lost. Not only was she now an orphan but all her financial sacrifices were in vein. Now there was nothing stopping Havier from coming after her. Havier was a fearless mob boss that controlled the Sky city underground, if it wasn’t for the fact that Amelia’s mother had been friends with Havier’s deceived mother then the mob boss wouldn’t have given her the money for the bills. That money had cost her house.

“Martha please tell me that it’s a lie please tell me that my mother isn’t dead! How can she be dead she was fine just a few days ago you told me she was doing well,” Amelia cried pitifully while hugging the blond nurse who was trying to comfort her.

“I’m sorry sweetie I wish I knew but it just happened, there was nothing we could do by the time we got there she had already ate all those pills and didn’t have a pulse…Here take this,” Martha said holding a thick envelope to Amelia and said “we found it on her bed, we didn’t have the heart to look into it because it had your name on it.” With that Martha left the grieving Amelia alone.

Amelia looked at the thick envelope feeling a sense of dread in her. Jessica, her mother had also worked in the underground circle as the Head Madam of the Jade brothel while her father was Raphael Gomez, Havier’s father’s right-hand man before he had gotten into a fight with the silver tongue Gang and was killed. Amelia had been the one who received his head in the mail that day. Her mother had never been the same and had suffered a psychological episode that landed her in this mental institution but now she’s dead. The first thing she saw was a letter with tear stains on them before she could read it three nurses came around the corner and one sat beside her while the two stood lazily around her.

“So did you go to the interview?” the one wearing pink scrubs and leaning beside a trolley asked.

“Yeah, I did and I didn’t get in the rich woman who was carrying out the interview was really mean. She didn’t let me talk. She doesn’t care if you have twenty years of experience or even just an intern as long as you are pretty she’ll give you a shot I mean one hundred thousand dollars a month. Too bad I didn’t get it.” The girl sitting next to Amelia said,

“Yeah too bad the woman is too picky huh, with that much money I can buy a house and retire after three years,” said the nurse sitting beside her, “The interview didn’t take long but at least I got to a change to enter the Sky Star Continental Hotel, the hotel is as beautiful as they say it is. You know even if I didn’t get the job at least I met that captain who was staying there and he’ll be taking me out tomorrow on a wonderful date. I may not have gotten the job but I bagged a rich man, just you all wait in two years I’ll have a house in Lanterns Peak with those famous Billionaires and Celebrities.”

As the young woman bragged Amelia couldn’t help feeling more intrigued so she asked. “Excuse me, you said there’s a job interview happening? “

Before Amelia had a chance to say more the nurse in pink gave her a dark look making Amelia shrink into herself.

Suddenly the third girl who had been quiet until then whispered into the ears of the other, “That’s the daughter of the crazy woman who just offed herself yesterday night, the rest of the nurses says that she’s bad news, Havier is looking for her.” She said loudly enough for Amelia to hear and feel the red wash all over her face, these nurses were completely disrespectful.

“Nothing, there’s a wealthy lady in Sky Star Continental Hotel that’s holding interviews for a stay at home nurse, they say it’s for a big shot and all that, they do it every Wednesday. I’m sorry about your mother we heard about it,” the nurse in pink said but Amelia could see that she didn’t mean it, they left almost immediately leaving her in her own thoughts. Amelia shook her head and opened the letter that she held in her hands

My Dear Amelia,

If your reading this now know then that means I have made the decision to take my own life, this isn’t a decision I made lightly rather I fear that the ghosts of my pasts are out to get me. Know that I love you even though I was not a very good mother to you I still care. You must know that your father and I adored you.

Amelia, my sweet beautiful rose, I am not your biological mother. When your father was still working with Raphael he had been given a task, to eliminate a family but when he was done he found a two baby girls all alone in their cribs and crying. I had just had a miscarriage two days and lost my own little girl and was told that I would never give birth again so your father took you and sent the other to a local orphanage we were young and we only had room for one. It wasn’t long after your father died that I found out that your father had been killed because of you, because your grandparents wanted your father dead.

I was scared of losing you that’s why we went to live with the Cheng family, I wanted to keep you safe, I was selfish, I was in pain, the love of my life had died and I took it out on you and although I hated seeing your face every day you I still cared deeply enough not to be able to let you go. But now they are coming after me, the file contains everything that you must know.

Amelia, I found your sister a few weeks ago when I escaped the left wing of this hospital, she looks like you, I knew it was her. Unfortunately I was too late, she was dead, her name was Scarlett, and I’ve attached all you need to know about her in the file. She has no one and she died all alone, her body is still in the morgue, please bury her well, it’s our fault. I’m sorry for everything, The Black Orchid is hunting me down and I’d rather kill myself than let him find me, live well Amelia, I love you, run, if the black orchid comes after you run! Scarlett looks like you, take her name and don’t look back, start a new life please, he’s coming run!”

Amelia felt like her whole world was going to crumble down, this was absolutely insane, now she just found out that her mother was not her real mother that she had a dead twin and her father had killed her parents? What more did she not know? And who was the Back Orchid? Why was her mother so afraid of him? Amelia looked at the contents in the envelope and felt her heart and body grow colder and colder. Her sister’s name was Scarlett, she had been an high achieving student all her life and had been a nurse before she had been involved in a car crash with her fiancé and died on the spot, they both had no extended family so no one cared when they died. Apparently the Black Orchid was the king of the underground, where Raphael was the big boss he was the owner of everything and everyone, there was no mob that did not obey him. Amelia Thought that she really didn’t know anything about the underground life, she always thought that Havier would be her main problem but if this man was after her then he would be after her as well. Amelia didn’t have another choice she had too run. She stood up and walked towards the exit of the hospital, Amelia had no one else and she felt bitter, her life had always been one mess after the other, the only time she truly felt happy is when she lived in the Cheng Family. Although the family had been mean the boy next door had been a friend to her a few one summer and she had never forgotten him. He had even given her a ring Amelia wore around her neck, it was pure gold and although she had been tempted a lot of times, no matter how ugly things got or how hungry and desperate she got she never wanted to loose it’s her treasure hers and hers alone.

“Are you going to come in Miss?’ A voice asked. Amelia looked up in a daze a noticed a man staring intently at her holding open a door, It was only then that she realized that she was in front of the golden glass framed of the Sky Star Continental hotel.

Amelia”…”

“Are you here for the Interview?” the door man asked looking at her with a forced smile, to him this was the eighty third candidate this day and it was close to nighttime now, the snow was falling harder this time. He knew the ins and outs of the hotel and knew how to distinguish between a guest, a resident from the pent house like Mr. and Mrs. Stewart that were residents of the hotel, not only that but majority of the interviewers had read hair a requirement that made no sense to him but he didn’t care.

“Yes, yes I’m here for the interview,” Amelia said before she could think. The doorman gave her a smile and pointed “It’s the third door on the right by the elevators.”

“Thank you,” Amelia said and walked towards where he pointed finding a woman dressed in black staring at her.

“Documents.” The woman asked her cold eyes gazing at her while holding out her hand. Amelia felt the fear come onto her but she pressed on and handed the documents in the envelope in to her. Amelia was thrown into the room before she had a chance to introduce herself. She didn’t know anything about medicine so this was hopeless, they’d just laugh at her and let her go.

A well-dressed woman was behind the desk staring her down,

“No, everything about you is wrong,” The woman began Amelia could see the anger in her eyes,

“Madam Eleanor she has red hair and it looks natural shouldn’t we give her a chance, you said you didn’t want bottle dye blonds and she’s a pure ginger give her a try will you?” The woman who had just brought her in began but the boss who she now knew was Eleanor shook her head viscously.

“I don’t care look at her Noah would eat her alive! There’s nothing she can tell me that I can’t notice. She’d probably been raised on a farm with a happy family and never had to worry a day in her life, she looks like she says please and thank you. Noah will wipe the floor with her I need someone with-“Amelia had heard enough. She had just lost her mother and found out her life was a lie but now this proud peacock standing there thinks that she had lived a sheltered life! A sheltered Life! The audacity!

“ You have no right to talk about me like that in front of my face. Who do you think you are? You have no idea who I am or what I’ve gone through, I’m here to look for a job I’m not here to be your show cow. forget this! I have enough problems on my own I’ll see myself out,” Amelia roared feeling angry, she took the papers on the desk.

“Wait.” Eleanor said staring at the woman in front of her, she wasn’t angry that the girl had talked to her like that but rather impressed, a month of looking for the perfect girl but none of them had the spirit she had. Eleanor had lived a long life and watched the death of her children, Noah was her last blood her grandchild but ever since he had been in that cursed accident that left him crippled he changed, He didn’t need a nurse, her grandson had the best of the best of the best physicians, She needed someone to keep an eye on him, she needed him not to be alone. She wanted to find him a friend.

“My grandson,” Eleanor began “Is a Gallagher man, he’s just like his grandfather and father he is a self-absorbed man with a god complex, he is viscous and rude, manipulative and most importantly a very powerful man. He got into an accident a year ago that almost cost him his life… what’s your name?”

“Amelia.” She said.

“Is that what the A in the paper stands for?” Eleanor asked with a raised brow. Amelia cursed under her breath. Damn it! She had forgotten that she was impersonating her dead twin, she was supposed to be Scarlett.

“It is, my parents used to call me that.”

“You’re an orphan?”

“I remember them… it’s been a rough few years for me,” Amelia replied trying to cover it all up.

"He's constantly in pain, even with all his money Noah's so lonely, and yet He trapped himself in that damned castle, he's given up. He's welcoming death and I can't lose him. The job Amelia isn't just about his physiotherapy but to give him something more, he needs hope. Noah needs to live again. Can you do that? Can you give me back my son?"

this was her final shot. There's always a way and she had experience dealing with these types of situations but she was nervous if she does this there's no going back. She's already in too deep.

"Yes, I believe I can,"

"Then you have the job. But Amelia remember you don't get to quit no matter what my son puts you through. The plane leaves for Ireland tomorrow. Make sure you're at the airport by 6.00 am."

Amelia walked out of the hotel and into the snowy night still shocked at what just happened, the happiness was bubbling within us but there was also the worry that came with it. When she finally noticed that she was standing in the middle of the falling snow she realized something. That name, it sounded familiar. She ran towards the subway station shaking slightly as she felt the cold seeping through her skin.

She fumbled through her purse trying to find her cell phone, the name was too familiar. Amelia’s heart gave out once she saw the google search display. Noah Gallagher she was going to be the nurse of the most powerful man in Europe. The big-time Billionaire playboy that had constantly been in the tabloids.
