Damn it Amelia , 

Just give Michael a baby . I think she wants too deep down inside .

 

Author's Response:

I am sure she can see a life with Michael. She wants to be a good wife and eventually a mother, but she is not in love with Michael. She is still developing her feelings and she needs to time. Hopefully Michael can understand that.

First of all I would like to say that of coarse you did do the reflection of the major frustrations in this chapter justice. You shouldn’t be doubting yourself! You are always able to convey all the feelings you want to convey no matter what topic, no matter what situation you put your characters in. With that being said, just know that you can relax. The tension and frustrations were all palpable and Amelia’s and Michael’s feelings totally believable, understandable and realistic. And by the way thank you that the chapter took off right where you left off with the previous chapter.

To tell the truth: The tension was so palpable it really made me sick to my stomach because I suffered through the tension together with your characters!.

I think Amelia is in dire need of apologizing to Michael. No matter how upset she was. And don’t get me wrong, because I totally understand and side with her in the matter of slipping any kind of private, delicate information in front of her mother, because it was very naïve of Michael to be honest and to share his feelings with his mother-in-law, who clearly doesn’t give two cents about Michael‘s feelings nor him in general.
Michael though, being the sweet and trusting person, was totally oblivious to this. But it could have been avoided, because I truly believe that Amelia should have sat down Michael a long time ago to tell him that her mother is not his fan, that she is not a supporter of their marriage nor can she be trusted. It’s a shame, really, because if only Amelia would communicate and share her feelings about her frustrations more with Michael, this could’ve been avoided. So I hope that in the future, she will share everything with Michael ( and the same applies to Mike, uniformly )so that they can be on the same page and act as a couple rather than stupidly starting an argument in front of Clarisse or anybody for that matter. They really have to grow as a couple and need to talk about things, things that bother them, things they want to achieve, their inner feelings , turmoils, frustrations and what their goals and dreams are for the near and far future. They need to discuss how to behave in front of people; certain people in his entourage, in her inner circle and how they want to be perceived as a couple in general , you know? They need to be on the same page, they need to be a strong unit, then they will be able to face any turmoil, any tabloid trash, any attempt of slander, anything that will be thrown their way, trying to bring them down. They need to be a force to be reckoned with an intimidating force, so that nobody will dare mess with them. This is what I hope will happen!!! So I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Anyways, Amelia needs to clarify that she is not ashamed of him but on the contrary. They made such wonderful progress recently, but with this action she got them back to zero. And that’s so frustrating! Savanna is totally right Michael was stupid and Amelia had every right to be upset, but the words she used cut Michael deep to the core and no wonder he is upset, sad and devastated . That’s why Amelia needs to come up with something special for him, apologize and clarify that she didn’t ever mean to hurt him with her words. And I can’t wait to see her do that because I really think it’s extremely essential. And I think it’s time for her to make it up to him after everything sweet, wonderful and romantic that he has done for her, I think it’s more than time that she comes up with something special for him to apologize and to set the record straight. I really believe that.
I know the damage in regards of further gossip is done as Savannah confirmed it ( I wonder what Amelia‘s reaction to this will be after she hears it from her friend😱😱😱😱😱😱😱) and simply because of Michael’s naivety, but I’m sure if they stay strong as a couple they can defy anything.
Maybe they can find a way to get back at Clarisse. One thing I suggest is to never let her into Neverland‘s gates anymore for all the gossip and spiteful words she keeps spreading about Michael, for her mean intentions and her wrongful acts and the stunts she has been pulling. She is totally bombarding the marriage and she despises Michael as a person because of his color of skin, because of who he is and how the world perceives him. Michael needs to realize that.
So I sincerely hope that Amelia will not disappoint in the next chapter. That she will make things right and make Michael smile again. And they really need to talk about the baby topic.
And again although Amelia is totally right about the baby talk being way too early into the fresh relationship, they need to talk about it since the topic has come up and has caused so much dispute and confusion, especially since Michael wants something totally different from what she wants in the near future. And that topic needs to be addressed properly! It is very important. And since Michael is going to tour for over a year, it is especially important with him leaving in two days, that they have that talk and that Michael and Amelia are on the same page and don’t part with heavy hearts. I would totally hate that. Michael needs to be able to be at ease once he leaves his sacred home and Amelia behind to totally focus on his art, his craft, his music and the tour in general. The same goes for Amelia and her important job as CEO in her father‘s company. They can’t afford parting ways on bad terms. So please make things right between them. I totally hope that.
Now, about Savanna and Frank: Gosh, what else can I say but: They had it coming, I just knew this was going to happen. It was just a matter of time. I guessed right, it was so evident. I only hope they won’t start arguing again after “doing the nasty”and that they will be friendly around each other, better yet admit their mutual feelings for one another and start dating....I hope for their own good that they didn’t act on impulse, that it wasn’t something erratic out of stress, but the start of something bigger. 😊What a steamy ending for this unfortunate chapter. So again after leaving this chapter with prospect of the beginning of something beautiful, I hope that Amelia will start the next chapter by making everything right with Michael. I am extremely anxious for the next chapter. Michael can’t leave for the tour without Amelia making it up to him, without her apologizing and telling him that she didn’t mean to hurt him but was upset about him naïvely confiding in her mother about his inner feelings. She needs to tell him that she cares and loves him too much to ever think lowly of him . 😘😘😘

I thought it was very interesting that you showed the reaction of both of Michaels important families in his life: His own family by blood and in contrast to that the reaction of his so-called “family of love” or so-called “second family”: The Casio family from Jersey. Interestingly enough and as you observed and described it perfectly, as I believe, his “family of love”, the Casio‘s reacted out of concern for Michael and his well-being whereas his blood family, the Jacksons, were more concerned about questions like: “Why he did it and if the woman he married was just as rich as he is or what good she could contribute to his name or legacy. “ And I genuinely had to laugh about Joseph, being kinda tongue tied, you know, trying to verbalize how “ Michael is not that kind a guy”, you know how you described his reaction and how he was trying to find the right words struggling to get them out. You kind of implied that Michael is a virgin, too, right? So, the both of them are still innocent? That’s so sweet ! I love this a 100%!!!!
To sum it up, you put those reactions in contrast with one another and while the Jacksons are confused, upset and what not, they are not reaching out to Michael whereas in contrast to that his “other family”, Casio’s are reaching out to him, hurrying to pack their suitcases to fly all the way from the East coast to the West coast just to support him. So this action just simply speaks for itself. I’m glad you pointed that out. You are speaking some truth, here , and that kind of reaction from his family was the reason why he distanced himself from them, because he felt that they did not genuinely care about him. And Jermaine was the worst; or Randy mocking his brother for accusing him for an infatuation for white girls, only.....So, two totally different reactions. I wonder, if Janet will reach out to him trying to check on him to find out what’s really going on. There is so much confusion and misunderstanding in her family about Michael’s actions. I hope she will, because she was always the closest to him, at least this is what we know about the two of them.

I thought it was very enjoyable to read about Nicoletta, the Casio family ‘s grandma chiming into the conversation spreading words of wisdom about Mike and Amelia being destined to be together. I really liked how relaxed and matter -of-factly she was. Everyone else was all shocked but she was like: “It’s only natural they would end up being together “. That was very sweet.
I also liked how Amelia sneaked out of her bedroom, that she shared with Michael the night before, being careful not to wake him out of respect for his sleep deprived self. It’s obvious that she cares about him a lot and since we all know, that he is her new crush, it’s just the most wonderful thing to read about how she is reacting towards him and how she is helplessly falling in love with him a little bit more day by day simply because of what he does and how caring he is. He’s the most caring and wonderful person towards her. It’s so wonderful to witness and to read about. The way you are able to write about it, the way you describe it and how he is wooing and romancing her.....it is the most beautiful thing. You always make me feel like a fly on the wall it seems to be so real. You are very talented that way. You always leave me with the need for more chapters whenever you finish one and upload it. I’m addicted! So please give us more. Don’t you ever stop.
And Amelia’s first day as CEO at her fathers company.... I think I was just as nervous as Amelia and you really captured me with your description of how she felt and what it must’ve been like for her. So, no wonder she was exhausted and only want to go to bed but I’m so glad that Michael caught her before she could disappear into her cottage to surprise her with more wonderful things that he once more did for her out of love. what a man!
Wonderful chapter and not boring or a filler at all!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍❤️😘
All I wanna say is: Anything for those most precious, delicate, romantic and lovely Michael and Amelia moments....
So I hope that the next chapter you will upload, will continue right where you left off with this one. This story really is pulling at my heart strings. I love it, I cannot get enough of it.

Man the Jacksons are behaving like savages. Why are they clowning Michael for who he loved..... he loved who he loved. We don't have to agree with who he loves because it's not our business. They act like Michael was incapable of making his own decisions, smh 🤦🏾‍♀️. Joseph being Joseph as usual and only

seeing dollar signs when it came to his son 🙄 yes I understand that they feel hurt by not being invited to the wedding but based on their behavior, I understand why Michael didn't invite them, especially randy. Some of what they said sounds like pure jealousy... 

amelia has so much self doubt and if she wants to run the business, she's got to toughen up and not let those golden boys run her out.

Savages is a very strong word, but I have to agree with you. lol Thank you for reading and commenting.
