    A firm footstep was heard, Jane and Greg raised their head to see who it was.

    Their jaw dropped. Ady stood before them, ck shoulder length hair with an intoxicating hazel eyesbined with heart shaped lips. She was putting on a red mini gown that clinged lovingly to her body properly entuating her figure, her purse danglingzily on her hand. Thisdy was the definition of beauty.

    ¡± I know well that she won¡¯t go¡± Jane argued.

    ¡°Come on give me that¡± Amy collected the card and tore it to shreds.

    ¡°are you a Friend or an enemy? you know what Jane said was right¡± Amy hissed.

    Cecile sighed, her daughter was just too much. Louisa picked up her purse and left the house.

    The most awaited night in the city came, the night when different elites meet under one roof.

    The hall was filled with guests of high ss men and women in morous outfits screaming wealth.

    Different limo¡¯s were parked outside the venue as important personalities stepped out with their partners.

    A limo parked and a guard ran out to open the door for the person in there.¡±Greg stepped out with Amelia by his side.

    She was putting on a royal blue off shoulder body hug gown with a side slit all the way to her thighs showing off her long fair and smooth legs.

    Her hair was styled into wavy loose coils, she smiled seeing the media were hovering around she and Greg.

    Meanwhile Jane was fuming in anger, like always it¡¯s all about Amelia. wherever she steps into she draws all the attention to herself.

    Jane hurriedly walked past her with her date since no reporter was facing her way. she just had to exercise a little more patience before she gets rid of her for good.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    Immediately Amelia stepped into the hall all eyes were on her, some admired the goddess of beauty while others were filled with envy.

    Greg was astonished on how Amelia could overshadow him, Jane was right that was her natural talent.

    Nobody was looking at him they were staring at his partner instead, his eyes

    wandered around the hall till he spotted Jane at a corner.

    He could tell from her expression that she was angry, he made an eye contact with her to assure her.

    He sighed in confusion, he used to like Amelia but ever since Jane started making advances towards him he couldn¡¯t stop himself from falling into her trap.

    ¡°I¡¯ll get us a drink¡± he hurriedly left. When Amelia wasn¡¯t looking at his direction, he sneaked Jane out of the hall.

    Jane struggled a bit with him, ¡°let me go Greg¡± Jane whined.

    Greg grabbed her shoulder ¡°listen to me Jane, I¡¯m not enjoying this either you have to understand my situation¡± Greg tried to reason but Jane wasn¡¯t having any of it.

    e on Greg what situation are you talking about? there¡¯s nothing hard in breaking up with her¡±.

    Greg sighed this girl doesn¡¯t understand anything, how would he tell her that he wantedto have some fun with Amelia before letting her go.

    ¡± I know you don¡¯t have the guts to do it, so watch me ruin her life and her petty career¡±.

    Jane stated leaving Greg behind to think further.

    Amelia looked around wondering where Greg disappeared to, it was really hard to find him in this hall since there were lots of guests.

    At another part of the hall

    Two men were busy discussing ¡°hope everything is set?¡± Nichs asked the man he hired.

    ¡°yes boss all we need is set¡± the man responded.

    Nichs let out an evil smile. Liam will definitely get into a big scandal after this night and he was sure that he won¡¯t be able to get out of it, his grandfather made a big mistake byparing him to his step brother..

 Chapter 3_ Drugged 3

    Jane took two sses of wine from a waiter passing by, luckily for her her supposed date has gone to mingle with a few business men.

    She opened her purse and brought out a tinybottle with white pills in it.

    She slipped some of the pills into the ss of wine meant for her dear friend.

    Nichs was speechless after he witnessed what the girl did, ¡°wow she haspleted my work¡± he mumbled.

    He watched her hand it over to another girl, even if the girl was pretty he didn¡¯t let his emotions get the best of him.

    Amelia thanked Jane as she sipped the wine slowly, she failed to see the smug smile stered on her friend¡¯s face.

    Jane collected the ss from Amelia when she was done, as soon as Jane left Nichs came over to Amelia.

    ¡°hi¡± Nichs greeted politely. Amelia turned to him with a sweet smile, Nichs felt his heart skipped a beat seeing her smile.

    ¡°hi¡± Amelia greeted back.

    Nichs suddenly started feeling a little guilty seeing that the girl was extremely beautiful for this kind of cheap move.

    Anyway it was already done and he couldn¡¯t do anything else about it, he doesn¡¯t want his step brother toe out of his room to make his opening speech.

    His reputation must be ruined starting from tonight, he noticed the drug was already taking its effect seeing her sweat.

    ¡± your date is waiting for you¡± Nichs lied.

    Amelia suddenly felt stuffy inside the hall ¡°okay where is he?¡± Amelia searched around but couldn¡¯t spot him.

    ¡°he is outside¡± Nichs urged he was happy when she finally left the hall.

    Jane smiled meaningfully as she watched a man lead her friend out, now she could only imagine the rest.

    Amelia walked a little more before she started feeling dizzy, she missed a step and was falling backwards but was caught by Nichs.

    Amelia felt her body being lifted off from the ground before she cked out.

    Nichs carried her in bridal style to a room in the hotel and heid her carefully on the bed.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.

    Right now the only person remaining was his brother, he took out his phone and called one of his men.¡±where is he?¡± Nichs spoke impatiently.

    Few minutester, Nichs felt satisfied seeing his hard work finally paid off, the two were still unconscious but soon enough the drugs would start taking its effect on them.

    He saw Amelia move slightly before he went out of the room.

    Amelia opened her misty eyes, her body was feeling weird, she let out a soft cry. Something was wrong with her and at the same time the man beside her moved.

    He slowly opened his eyes, his body was feeling funny from the inside, he cursed silently knowing what was wrong with him.¡¯he has been drugged¡¯.

    He heard a soft moan beside him, it was ady she was tearing off her dress.

    His mind was already clouded with the drug¡¯s effect on him, he pounced on Amelia like a starving lion that was released from a cage.

    They pulled roughly at each other¡¯s clothes ripping and tearing them apart.

    Amelia felt her body burning with intense pressure, her body wanted something but she has no idea of what it wants.

    She felt the cool breeze brush on her bare skin, she and the man we¡¯re both naked.

    Amelia felt her legs being forcefully pulled apart, she let out a cry when he thrust deep into her.

    Tears fell out of the corner of her eyes from the sharp pain, after a few more thrusts the pain gradually dispersed reced by pleasure.

    Their moans filled the room, since they were given heavy doses they had a few more rounds before passing out.

 Chapter 4_ A gift

    Amelia¡¯s eyes opened slightly trying to adjust to the brightness. Her brows furrowed in confusion seeing the unfamiliar room, her eyes went down to find herself naked under the duvet.

    The events fromst night yed in her head, she looked around the room but no one was there.

    She pulled her hair hard, she just had a stand with a stranger.

    She scurried to the floor picking up her dress, but it was torn so badly. She opened the wardrobe searching for anything appropriate to wear.

    She grabbed a ck pajamas since it was the only thing making sense in there.

    She went to the bathroom to freshen up, she turned to the mirror looking at each hickeys the monster made all over her body, as if marking his territory.

    She turned on the shower allowing herself get soaked, Amelia cried in the bathroom for a while and came out after she was done.

    Amelia stepped out of the bathroom to meet someone else in the suite. The man sat proudly on the sofa with his legs crossed, his grey eyes stared at her in mockingly.

    Amelia blinked her eyes at the male god before her, he had jet ck hair that was perfectly gelled she couldn¡¯t even see a stray hair, his high cheekbones, perfect jawline and full lips. all these features in one person made her speechless.

    She saw his eyes narrowed down at her, it suddenly dawned on her that he was the shameless man who took advantage of herst night.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes turned red in anger this man took away her innocence, ¡± you were the shameless man that took advantage of a helplessdy¡±

    Liam raised a brow at her outburst, he got up the next second.

    ¡°it was just a stand think of it as a gift from me to you¡± Liam pointed out and in the next instance Amelia grabbed his index finger that was pointing at her.

    ¡°it might be a stand but not all girls are dying to be on your bed especially not me¡± Amelia muttered through gritted teeth.

    Liam caught hold of her neck ¡°I can be scary, don¡¯t try to act special, I willpensate you for your loss¡± he muttered as he stared at the red stain on the bed sheet.

    Amelia met his eyes ¡°well I¡¯m not scared of you Mr. arrogant¡± she released the grip on her neck.

    Liam narrowed his eyes at her retreating back, that was new everyone is always scared of him.

    Immediately she got to the hotel¡¯s lobby, the same media who were admiring herst night flocked around her throwing insulting questions at her.

    ¡± ma¡¯am is it true that you are having an affair with a driver in yourpany?¡± a reporter asked. ¡°ma¡¯am tell us how long has this been going on?¡± another reporter asked.

    ¡°ma¡¯am do you know that your contract with star entertainment is over?¡±.

    Amelia closed her ears she didn¡¯t want to hear anything anymore so she ran out of the hotel.

    Jane was intertwined with Greg on the bed both of them celebrating their victory, they were currently watching the news, they smiled in satisfaction seeing Amelia¡¯s face on the news.

    Now they were sure that she would nevere out of this mess.T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.

    The door opened with a loud bang, Amelia in her disheveled state came into the room with a cigarette burning in-between her fingers.

    Jane and Greg both jerked up as a result of the loud bang, but as soon as they saw her they tightened their embrace more.

    Amelia stared at them in disgust, she couldn¡¯t believe that they could do this to her, she lost everything in just one day.

    ¡± don¡¯t you know how to knock beforeing in?¡± Greg barked at her.

    Jane got off the bed immediately and stood in front of Amelia ¡± is there a problem?¡± Jane mocked before letting out a loudugh.

    Her eyes found its way to the hickeys on her neck ¡°oh wow you really had a good timest night¡± Jane continued.

    Amelia was dazed ¡°where did I go wrong? you were my best friend, how could you do this to me?¡± she asked innocently, tears were beginning to form in her eyes.

    Jane scoffed ¡± Amelia, you¡¯ve done so much to me, everything is always going your own way nobody sees me whenever you are around, I can boldly say this to your face Amy that I enjoyed seeing your life ruined to bits¡±.

 Chapter 5_ Ruined

    In a fit of rage Amelia pt Jane across her face, Greg came down from the bed pulling Jane to his side, he held Amelia¡¯s hand tightly ¡°have you lost your mind? if you try this madness again I will make you pay dearly¡± Greg threatened but was pt instead by Amelia.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes turned red ¡± you both have managed to ruin my life, how could I be so foolish to trust you both with everything but what did I get In return? betrayal¡±

    ¡°you deserved every bit of it¡± Greg announced and was pt for the second time.

    He became angry that he tried to raise his hand on her but it stopped midway. Amelia pressed the cigarette butt on his arm, Greg retracted his hand, the spot turned red. ¡°don¡¯t you dare try to raise your hands on me, you can¡¯t bully me, you know what? I wish you both a happy life together, I will surely make aeback and when I do I will make sure you regret ever messing with me¡± Amelia said and stormed out.

    Meanwhile¡­..

    Nichs was enraged his n failed again, once again Liam got lucky instead of his scandal being released it was thedy who got the thrashing.

    His name wasn¡¯t even mentioned in the affair between that was circted.

    One of his men ran into his study room panting slightly ¡± boss he is here and he looks very angry¡±.

    Nichs panicked a bit, how did Liam find out?. The door flew open, Nichs swallowed hard seeing his brother¡¯s face turn red in anger.

    ¡°brother what brings you here?¡± Nichs tried to y smart.

    Liam caught hold of Nichs shirt and sent a punch to his face causing blood to rush out of his nose.

    ¡± keep the pretense to yourself, now let me give you a taste of your own medicine¡±.

    Liam¡¯s men came, one of them stepped forward with a small box handing it over to Liam who forced the pills into his brother¡¯s mouth.

    Liam took a ss of water from the table and forced him to drink. Nichs was panting heavily and sweating profusely.

    He tried to choke out the pills, Liam saw what he was doing and gave him a smack on his head.

    He then instructed his men to leave the study ¡°this will teach you to never mess with me like that in the future¡±.T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.

    Liam let out a wry smile and left the study locking the door behind him.

    Too bad, no one was in the room to relieve him of the pain that he will feel when the drug start taking its effect.

    Nichs banged the door from outside, he was sweating so much already¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Amelia arrived at her apartment and threw herself on the sofa in her room, her phone rang beside her.

    She picked it up, it was her manager ¡°Martha¡±.

    Martha sighed hard from the other end ¡± Amelia have you seen the news? boss is really upset you have brought a bad name to ourpany and I¡¯m the most ashamed¡± Martha scolded.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t take your call for you to scold me, your boss already fired me¡± Amelia said impatiently.

    Martha scoffed ¡± you still have enough pride to talk back, your whole career has been ruined to bits. you know what? you deserve whatever that ising your way, sleeping with your driver cheap slut¡±.

    The call went dead, Amelia sighed and threw her phone farther away from her.

    She wouldn¡¯t let anyone trample on her again, her eyes set in determination¡­..

    Amelia heard light footsteps approaching her ¡°Amy¡± the person called out, Amelia recognized that voice instantly.

    She turned to Louisa the only one who had good intentions for her, now she understood everything Louisa really tried to help her out of Jane and Greg¡¯s clutches but she was too stupid to understand then.

    Louisa ran to Amelia¡¯s side and embraced her tightly ¡°I¡¯m sorry I should have listened to you earlier¡± Amelia broke down.

    Louisa¡¯s eyes turned red in anger, now that she was here no one is allowed to bully Amelia ever again she vowed silently.

    Liam shot him a look ¡®take responsibility¡¯ he mused silently, thatdy insulted his pride today, she must be punished.

    He rang the inte and his assistant came in and bowed before him ¡°I need you to do something urgently¡±¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Amelia took out her phone there were several missed calls from her mum and some of her fellow actress.

    She really wasn¡¯t in the mood to talk to anyone so she switched off her phone and turned on the TV.

    She sighed in frustration all news channel were talking about her affairs, she tuned in to another channel.

    Her mouth dropped someone leaked the pictures and videos ofst night to the public, how shameless of that person, at least he was involved now.

    She knew this was Jane and Greg¡¯s doing, they¡¯ve given her the final blow,izens were already criticizing her.

    Her eyes narrowed at the screen ¡°he isn¡¯t the man I saw today¡± she mumbled, she knew he looked familiar but this morning she was too angry to think things through.

    Louisa came into the living room and turned off the TV. ¡°Amy the videos were leaked out few minutes ago, we have to leave now theizens are crazy they are heading here¡± Louisa worriedly said pulling Amelia out of the room.

    Amelia smiled scornfully, she picked up her dark spectacles and face cap so she won¡¯t be recognized easily.

    She came out of her apartment in a hurry with louisa, a luxurious car stopped in front of them horning for them to get in.

    Amelia and Louisa exchanged looks as if asking ¡®do you know them?¡¯. They quickly got into the car since they could see angry mob heading there way¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­..

 Chapter 7_ A new beginning 2

    The ck Porsche pulled over in front of a building. Amelia and Louisa exchanged looks as to where they were.

    Amelia came down from the car and yanked the driver from his seat ¡°where have you brought us ? you piece of dirt¡±.

    Louisa on the other end pulled Amelia away from the driver she knew how crazy Amy could get, they first needed to know where they were before creating a scene.

    The surrounding was serene and the building itself was majestic it was painted with white and gold.

    A middle aged man in ck suit walked up to thedies and bowed slightly, he was a butler in the building.

    ¡°This way miss, young master is waiting for you¡± he announced with a bow.

    Amelia found it corky wondering who this young master was, her mind darted to the rude young man this money ¡®could it be him? nah I doubt he could never be so kind enough to help me out¡¯.

    The butler left them in therge living room, the girls looked around them everything in here was shinny and sparkling.

    Amelia set her eyes on a tiny golden sculpture of a dog, even though she hated dogs the sculpture was really cute.

    They heard footsteps approaching, Amelia suddenly grasped the tiny sculpture inserting it in her pocket.

    Louisa caught her friend in that act and scolded her with her eyes since it was toote to drop it.

    The girls heart beat drummed wildly in anticipation as the footsteps grew louder and louder.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes widened as saw who just stepped into the room, Liam walked over to the long couch and sat down elegantly.

    ¡°I should have known that it was you¡± Amelia stated grumpily meanwhile Louisa was still trying to catch her breathe, she knew who he was.

    Liam Grayson, the name rolled on her tongue, but how did Amelia meet the big shot of their country?

    Liam scowled out the girl who was ring back at him with the same intensity.

    Dn please show miss Louisa around¡± Liam ordered, Louisa was flying on cloud nine hearing him address her with her name.

    Liam turned to thedy in front of him, he watched her sit on the couch without a worry in the world.

    His brows collided against each other, how dare she sit when he hasn¡¯t asked her to sit? ¡°I didn¡¯t ask you to sit yet!¡± His voice thundered into her ears.

    Amelia rolled her eyes at his attitude ¡± you didn¡¯t ask me to stand either so let¡¯s get this over with what do you want?¡±.

    Liam smirked, thisdy doesn¡¯t know who she is dealing with yet.

    He picked up the file on the table and threw it at her ¡°you have been publicly shamed, how can you stoop so low as far as having an affair with your driver?¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s face turned red like a meatball, ¡°you were the driver who I had an affair with¡±. She stated.

    Liam was caught off guard by her bluntness ¡°you have no idea who you are messing with¡±.

 Chapter 8_ The nasty contract 1

    Amelia scoffed at his words ¡°don¡¯t try to instill fear in me Liam Grayson I¡¯m not scared of anyone¡±.

    Liam knew this won¡¯t lead anywhere if they keep on going like this ¡°you should be¡± Liam pointed out.

    Amelia looked down at the file with her ¡± what is this about?¡± She inquired.

    ¡± We both have been wronged by the people we consider family, you are facing a huge bacsh and I¡¯m on a really tight spot how about we get married¡­¡­.

    Liam wasn¡¯t even done talking when Amelia butt in after hearing the word marriage ¡°I¡¯m not interested, I rather face this scandal forever than to get married to you no one will be able to tolerate your bad attitude¡±. Amelia said in one breathe.

    Liam massaged his temples ¡± I wasn¡¯t done yet and don¡¯t be under the impression that I like you, because you are wrong you are thest person I could ever get married to but since the situation at hand is very critical this is the only way out of this mess, the marriage is only for a whole year after that we go out separate ways and you will get fifty million as apensation¡±.

    Liam exined while Amelia went dumb the huge amount kept on ringing in her ears, fifty million to put up with this brat.

    ¡°Where is the pen?¡± She questioned, he handed her the pen which she used to sign where necessary.

    After she was done, she stood up ¡± congrattions husband¡± she said sarcastically throwing the file back at him copying what he did to her earlier.

    Liam remained unmoved for some second before he pulled Amelia to sit on hisps harshly with a smug smile.

    Amelia who was taken by surprise went into a daze seeing how close she was to him right now.

    Liam inserted his hand into her pocket pulling out the tiny statue she took earlier before pushing her off hisps, he took out a napkin dusting his suit pants especially where she sat.

    ¡°Get your things over here before noon I have to register this papers¡±. He stood up and was walking away before he added ¡°petty thief¡±.

    Amelia narrowed her eyes at him if not for the huge amount that she will receive she would have not signed those stupid papers.

    Meanwhile¡­¡­¡­¡­.

    Dn showed Louisa around he noticed her face was getting red by the minute, so he stopped and touched her forehead ¡°are you okay?¡±.

    Louisa was left in a trance even if his hands were no longer there she could still feel the warmth lingering on her forehead.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

    ¡°Yeah I¡¯m okay¡± she managed to smile at him.

    Dn ransacked his head on how to start a conversation with her, ¡°umm¡­ my bad I¡¯m Dn¡± he stretched forth his hand for a hand shake which Louisa took without hesitating.

    ¡°Louisa¡± she mumbled.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll call you Lou¡± he announced walking forward while Louisa blushed behind him.

    Dn didn¡¯t know why she was acting weird but he liked her cute behavior, he doubts if she is as calm as she looks.

    ¡°So what do you do for a living?¡± He asked hopefully the conversation couldst longer than the rest he tried to have with her.

    Louisa blinked ¡°I¡¯m a waiter at a bar¡±. Dn noticed she was embarrassed to answer that.¡±do you like your job?¡± He asked to receive a short stare from her.

    He doesn¡¯t know why but something was pulling him towards her, he wanted to probe further into her life but considering they just met he doubts if she would open up to him.

    ¡°I¡¯m notining about it¡± she replied honestly, it was at that bar she met Amelia ever since then they became close friends because she visited frequently with Jane and Greg.

 Chapter 9_ The nasty contract 2

    Louisa¡¯s phone beeped and she excused himself to answer it, Dn watched her side profile for a while she was a prettydy no doubt.

    Her whole countenance changed instantly into a fierce one making Dn slightly shudder, he knew it, he knew thisdy was putting on a facade and pity face to fool him.

    She was tough just as her friend, he couldn¡¯t help butugh inwardly at Liam who just sighed a death wish with Amelia.

    He wondered who would dominate each other since the both of them seem to stubborn.

    Louisa returned back to his side and unknowingly took a step back.¡±sorry that was my boyfriend¡±.

    Dn nodded to her words with a forced smile, she was such a good actress and knows where and when she could put on her show.

    Louisa saw Amelia approaching them with hurried footsteps, Dn was awed by the way she carried herself gracefully.

    She was really pretty, Amelia caught up with them and pulled Louisa with her¡­¡­¡­..

    At Grayson ancestral home..

    An old man with gray hair sat on the sofa in therge hall like living room he was exuding a deadly aura anyone who came near in shudder even without him saying any words to them.

    He was mad at his rebellious grandson, Nichs was lying in the hospital in a critical condition after he was given an overdose of a drug.

    His eldest grandson was to be med for that, a middle aged man strolled in with hurried footsteps ¡± dad what were you saying on the phone?¡± Mark who just flew in from the country asked his wife was not picking his calls so as Nichs.

    ¡°That terror you gave birth to caused your son a great harm go to the hospital and see for yourself¡± old Grayson said fiercely, even at his age he still looked stronger.

    Mark was left puzzled so he hurried back out to go to the family¡¯s hospital.

    Mark arrived at the hospital, his wife and some of the family were present he rushed to his wife who was weeping.

    His heart leaped, he was rmed ¡®has Nichs died?¡¯ he asked himself hoping it was something else.

    ¡°Honey what is wrong with Nick?¡± He asked which made her sob more.

    His little daughter held his arm ¡°big bro is inside the room, we found him asleep in his study and that¡¯s why we brought him here¡±. ra spoke cutely, mark gave her a small smile but he was sure that wasn¡¯t the case here.

    ¡± Nick was brought in unconscious, he was in a bad state when we found him but don¡¯t worry the doctor is checking up on him¡±. Martha exined, she was mark¡¯s only sister.

    The door opened as the doctor stepped out, ¡°Mr Grayson you are here, we¡¯ve gotten him under control we found out he was given a pill that could make any person sexually active and high but there is a high chance that he might suffer a side effect after taking an overdose¡± the doctor broke to the family.

    ¡°What side effect doctor?¡± Mark asked he just hope nick was going to be okay.

    The doctor pulled off his sses ¡°there is a high chance that he might be impotent after this¡± the doctor added and left their sight.

    Angie wailed further, she immediately got up and seized mark¡¯s shirt ¡°this is all your fault mark! If only you have gotten rid of that boy for a long time this wouldn¡¯t have happened to my son, did you hear what doctor said nick might be impotent¡±.

    Mark silently endured her pounding on his chest, ¡°Angie Liam wouldn¡¯t do anything like that unless he was provoked it could be Nick¡¯s fault also¡± mark exined to receive a tight p from her.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

    Martha quickly pulled ra out with her so the couples can sought themselves out.

    ¡°Mark ! do you think my son is foolish enough to do that? the truth is you are not able to move on after that witch died so you are trying to atone your sins by caring for her son¡± Angie breathed in anger.

    At the mention of his first wife he lost his temper ¡± don¡¯t bring Brianna into this matter, and don¡¯t you dare forget that Liam is Nichs older brother he is also my son and I know him well enough that he wouldn¡¯t bite unless he has been bitten so what I¡¯m asking of you is to teach that empty headed son of yours some values of our family¡±. Mark said irritably and left the hospital, he couldn¡¯t tolerate it whenever Angie mes brianna for all her misfortune.

 Chapter 10_ Husband 1

    Mark sat still in the car for some minutes, he needed to clear his head out.

    After some time he ordered the driver to move, his thoughts were in conflicts.

    Just what has Nichs done to warrant such punishment from Liam?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Amelia returned to her home to get her things, when she reached her house with Louisa she saw how torn apart everything was.

    Her eyes zed in anger, Jane was going too far and she needs to be stopped in time or else she will do more damage to her.

    Louisa sighed in disappointment there was nothing here to take anymore it has all been ruined to bits.

    ¡°I won¡¯t spare Jane for this¡± Amelia mumbled under her breathe.

    Louisa touched her shoulder before pulling her in for a hug.¡± Amy think about it, you really don¡¯t need all this stuff anymore because you are now Mrs Grayson do you know what that title holds?¡±.

    Louisa tried to give Amelia a new hope, Amelia thought about it for a while and nodded in affirmation, it was true though.

    Amelia walked over to her table and picked up a photo frame of she and her parents, that was the only thing that survived the rampage.

    Amelia returned back to her new husband¡¯s mansion.

    She went into the living room but he wasn¡¯t there so she assumed he has gone out already.

    She turned back to leave when she saw a man standing in front of her.

    She could see shock written all over his face, her hands unconsciously touched her face to see if something was on it.

    Mark smiled at her cute reaction, Amelia saw the slight resemnce between him and Liam.

    she assumed him as his father.

    ¡°good afternoon¡± she smiled at him.

    Mark didn¡¯t know if he should be happy or sad seeing ady in his son¡¯s house.

    ¡°dear are you here for Liam?¡± Mark suddenly blurted out.

    Amelia let out a chuckle ¡°yes he is my boyfriend¡±.

    Mark raised a brow at her, Liam Grayson was the only guy he knew so far that sees women as a big taboo.

    They heard footsteps approaching them, their heads snapped to the direction, it was Liam.

    When he saw the man beside Amelia his eyes darkened, this man doesn¡¯t have any right to step his foot into his house as long as he lives.

    Amelia stared in confusion the two men before her were behaving like secret lovers who were shy to look at each other in the eye.

    Liam threw a file on the table in anger ¡°what are you doing here?¡± he coldly asked.

    Mark sighed he knew he had wronged Liam and his mum but he was trying to make up for his mistake, however Liam wasn¡¯t over it yet.

    Amelia was taken aback by the tone he used to respond to his father. ¡°Liam what did you do to your brother? he is lying critically on the hospital bed¡±.

    Liam scoffed at his father¡¯s words, his eyes showed no regret whatsoever of what he did. instead it seemed as if he wasn¡¯t satisfied by the news.T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°you should be happy that he is still breathing, do you know what that son of yours did?st night I was drugged and had an affair with the worstdy in this world. you should be bowing down and thanking me for sparing his worthless life¡±.

    Liam angrily spoke, Amelia could see tears forming in his father¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°how dare you speak to your father in that tone?¡± Amelia chipped in.

    Liam hissed pulling Amelia¡¯s wrist roughly ¡°don¡¯t speak to me in that tone anymore or else you have a death wish and he isn¡¯t my father, I only have a mum¡±.

    Amelia pt his hands off her wrist ¡°you are really ungrateful, is this how to behave with someone who gave you a name?¡±

    She pushed his chest, ¡°I¡¯ll give anything in the world to have my father with me now, and you? speaking so coldly to him do you care to know how your words might hurt him?¡±. she added.

    Mark was speechless, no one has ever raised their voice at his son and no one has also stood up for him like she did.

    He is the one who everyone mes because he couldn¡¯t control himself.

    Liam¡¯s face turned red, his fist tightened by his sides. thisdy was crossing her boundaries.

    ¡°if you care so much about him why don¡¯t you let him be your new father let him marry your single mum¡±.

    Liam¡¯s eyes further darkened when he received a tight p from Amelia

 Chapter 11_ Husband 2

    Mark was quite shocked by what he was witnessing right now.

    The veins on Liam¡¯s neck almost popped out.

    Amelia breathed heavily in anger ¡°if you say one more thing about my mum again I won¡¯t spare you¡±.

    Liam turned to his father disgusted by his presence, he held his wrist and took him out of his house. ¡°don¡¯t try toe into this house again¡±.

    With that he mmed the door at his dad¡¯s face, Amelia couldn¡¯t believe how heartless the man she just got married to could be.

    Liam started walking towards her but she remained unmoved from the spot she was standing.

    Amelia stared back with the same intensity as he was staring at her.T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°you dared raised your hand at me!¡± he barked at her.

    Amelia sighed if she had seen this side of his earlier she doubted if she would have signed those papers.

    ¡°that¡¯s because you brought up my mum which wasn¡¯t necessary¡±.

    Liam smirked at her words ¡°but I wasn¡¯t wrong if you wish to see my dad happy set him up with your mum¡±.

    Amelia was furious at his words that she pt him again twice.

    Liam caught hold of her neck pushing her backward until her back touched the wall.

    ¡°how dare you raise your hand to me?¡±.

    Amelia sneered at him pulling off his hand that was holding her neck.

    ¡°that¡¯s because you deserved it, and trust me I don¡¯t feel any remorse about it. I¡¯m not scared of you husband¡±.

    On hearing the word husband from her his stomach churned with disgust.

    ¡°happy married life husband¡± Amelia said sarcasm evident in her voice.

    ¡°consider it the beginning of your nightmares¡±.

    Liam mumbled.

    Amelia smacked her lips and winked at him ¡°and I¡¯ll be waiting for you in my nightmares¡±.

    Liam left her and went to his room, he broke everything in sight. No one, no one has ever disrespected him like that girl did.

    At Grayson¡¯s ancestral home¡­..

    Nichs hands were fisted by his sides he just got discharged but he was still on a wheelchair.

    His mum stroked his head slowly, she could feel his pain.

    Angie¡¯s eyes were very red from crying all day, she was at least happy that her dear boy was still alive, the doctor said he might be impotent but she strongly believed that he still has a two percent chance to recover.

    That son of a b*tch did this to her prince, she won¡¯t let him off this time.

    ¡°mum I¡¯ll destroy his life if I eventually be impotent¡± Nichs said amist tears.

    ¡°haven¡¯t you plotted enough? he only gave you a taste of your own medicine!¡± mark who just entered said.

    He was enraged when Liam told him what his foolish son did.

    Angie stood up in anger walking towards him ¡°why? has he fed you with more lies? my son can never be wrong!¡± Angie defended.

    Nichs bowed his head down avoiding eye contact with his father.

    ¡°really? ask this foolish boy what he did! he drugged his elder brother, I knew Liam wouldn¡¯t attack without a cause¡± mark added.

    Angie pped her hands scornfully¡±wow mark, so you choose to believe what that boy said than your son¡¯s words?¡±.

    ¡°Liam is also my son, and I hope in the future you will teach him to be more like Liam¡± mark said and left their presence.

    Angie shook in anger Liam was bing her problem nowadays, she kissed her son¡¯s head trying tofort him.

    Later that night at Liam¡¯s house¡­

    Amelia¡¯s phone beeped by her side it was her mum, she didn¡¯t know how to exin all this to her mum so she turned off her phone.

    Since it was getting dark, she decided to change into a breathable fabric but realized that she didn¡¯t have any clothes except the one she was putting on.

    Due to the fight between she and Liam shepletely forgot to go shopping an idea popped into her head since she couldn¡¯t go out because of the scandal and all those nosy Media.

    She hurriedly left for Liam¡¯s room, when she stepped in the first thing that came to her mind was, if Liam was a demon everything in his room were either ck or white.

    Her eyes itched by the sight, she loves colours a lot seeing this only made her want to puke.

    Nevertheless she went into his walk in closet, she blinked severally. ¡°what is wrong with him?¡±

    From his suits to his shirts, tie, shoes and everything she couldn¡¯t mention now we¡¯re all either ck or white.

 Chapter 12_ Rainbow 1

    Amelia randomly picked a white shirt in frustration, nothing in his closet were making sense at all.

    She changed into the shirt and was about leaving the room when she came face to face with Liam.

    Liam¡¯s brow furrowed seeing her in his room and at the same time putting on his shirt.

    ¡°who gave you the permission to enter this room, and why are you wearing my shirt?¡± Liam barked, it was only the first day of their contract marriage and he was already stressed out.

    Amelia stood akimbo with her hands on her waist, ¡°so what if I came into your room and wore your clothes am I not your wife?¡±.

    Liam didn¡¯t want to argue further, thisdy is just so full of herself.

    He grabbed her wrist to throw her out of the room, Amelia pt his hands off.

    ¡°were you trying to throw me out just now? i really didn¡¯t want to stay but you leave me no choice, I¡¯ll spend the night here¡± Amelia announced.

    Liam sighed and headed to the bathroom if he stayed any longer she was sure to drive himpletely nuts¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    At a bar

    Dn came into a bar with some other guys, when they stepped in the girls were whispering and murmuring at the same time.

    They were admiring the group of three friends actually they were four but it seems thest one wasn¡¯t present.

    Thest one was Liam, he was the hardest to ever approach.

    The three guys sat on an empty table, James looked around for a waiter and spotted one immediately.

    He called out and thedy turned with a smile approaching their table.

    James smirked as he saw thedy approaching him, her hips was swaying as she took steps further to him.

    ¡°may I take your order?¡± she asked with a sweet smile.

    Dn who was busy on his phone didn¡¯t see who the waiter was.

    She took their order and left.

    ¡°that is one good looking girl, definitely my type ofdy¡± Jamesmented.

    Dn raised his head to see who he was talking about but she was long gone.

    ¡°James I thought you just got yourself a new chick¡± Steven scolded.

    Dn let out a smallugh ¡°one woman is never enough for us, we don¡¯t know about you¡±.

    Louisa returned back to their table cing the different bottles of wine, whiskey and beers.

    She shook her head as the table was filled up, rich people didn¡¯t know where to spend their money.

    Dn raised his head to have a glimpse of the waitress his friend was talking about.

    Their eyes met Dn was quite surprised even though she told him that she worked at a bar.

    Louisa simply left without saying a word to him, James nudged Dn ¡°dude close your mouth or else a bug might fly in, I told you she was good looking¡±.

    Dn tried to find her but he couldn¡¯t see her due to the crowd.

    He excused himself and followed the direction she went to.

    Louisa went back to the counter to attend to some people. she was surprised to see Dn sitting in front of her.

    ¡°why are you following me?¡± asked Louisa.

    Dn smiled at her words ¡°I wasn¡¯t following you around, it¡¯s just by chance that I saw you here¡± he exined.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    ¡°ok so what do you want?¡±.

    Dn tapped his chin¡±what do I want?¡± he asked himself continuously.

    Louisa wasn¡¯t in the mood to joke around one mistake then her boss will fire her.

    ¡°say what you want to say! I¡¯m busy and I don¡¯t want to get fired¡±.

    Dn nodded at her words and left her sight, his lips curved into a mischievous smirk.

    Dn returned back to his friends, he watched how Louisa take orders and at the same time some of the guys tried to touch her.

    His hands folded under the table that his fists turned light purple.

    This job wasn¡¯t for someone like her, James traced Dn¡¯s line of sight.

    ¡°do you know her?¡± James asked seeping his beer slowly.

    Dn nodded ¡°yeah kind of¡± he mumbled.

    Louisa¡¯s heartbeat raced as she stepped into her Manager¡¯s office.

    When she entered the man looked at her with a killer gaze, her heart pounded she tried to remember if she did anything to warrant such looks.

    ¡°Louisa you are fired¡± the man said.

    Louisa¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°but sir I didn¡¯t do anything that could make you fire me!¡±.

    The manager adjusted his sses ¡°you spilled a drink on Dn Wesley¡¯s shirt and he has ordered me to fire you or else he would close down this bar¡±.

    Louisa¡¯s face turned red, when did she spill a drink on him? that dummy will have to answer her question.

    Louisa left the Manager¡¯s office heading straight to Dn.

    Dn saw her approaching him he shed her a smile which turned upside down the moment she pt him.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

    The music died down, the crowd gasped at the sight.

    Dn was shocked by her audacity, he has never been pt before.

    Louisa grabbed his cor ¡°why did you report me? I didn¡¯t spill any drink on you¡±.

    Every inch of feelings James had for Louisa died that minute.

    ¡°Lou¡­.¡± he tried to exin. ¡°don¡¯t say anything further¡± Louisa yelled angrily at him and left the bar.

    James and Steven let out a loudughter, Dn¡¯s expression was priceless right now.

    He shot them a look which they ignored andughed out more¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Liam came out of the bathroom after changing into his sleep wear, he frowned seeing as Amelia slept on his bed.

    He breathed in anger as he pulled her off the bed, she fell with a light thud.

    Amelia held her head ¡°I¡¯ve you lost it?¡±. she massaged her head slightly.

    Liam didn¡¯t feel any regret for what he did instead heid on the bed leaving her on the ground.

    Amy¡¯s chest moved up and down, she suddenly jumped on him on the bed refusing to let go.

    Liam tried to free himself from her grip but she was putting a hell of a fight for it.

    ¡°what is wrong with you?¡± Liam grunted trying to move.

    Amelia ignored his question and maintained her position on top of him.

    After a few more struggle Liam gave up and suggested he left the room but Amelia wasn¡¯t having any of it.

    He suddenly regretted getting married to her, he knew she was troublesome but he didn¡¯t expect it till this level.

    Amelia smiled inwardly she enjoyed the new position¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­..

    The next morning Liam woke up and tried to move but realized that she was still on top of him, he pushed her off his body.

    Amelia rolled to the soft mattress and smiled she has been awake for a long time but she just enjoyed that position.

    Liam caught her smiling face and was upset, his body was aching so bad and she was enjoying it.

    She opened her eyes only when he left for the bathroom.

    Amy came down from the bed, it¡¯s time she starts acting how a wife would. so she went to his closet to pick something for him to wear to the office.

    She left for the kitchen to make him a quick breakfast, she had no idea of what he likes so she made a simple toast and tea for him.

    Liam came out of the bathroom, his eyes darted around around the room he sighed in relief that she wasn¡¯t around.

    His eyes darted to his bed and he saw the clothes she picked for him.

    Amelia ced the simple breakfast she made on the long dining table, she wondered why he needed a dining like this when he was the only one living in the house.

    She waved at his guards that were standing waiting for their boss they simply smiled at her with a bow.

    Earlier the maids stopped her from making breakfast since she was Liam¡¯s wife now, however she chased them out of the kitchen.

    Now they were all lined up in a straight line watching her move about the kitchen.

    She heard footstep descending the stairs, she assumed it to be Liam.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes narrowed when she saw him putting on a different outfit other than the one she picked.

    He met her re and was about to head out when she blocked his way.

    ¡°move¡± he ordered.

    Amelia ced her hands on her hips and shook her head ¡°no you can¡¯t leave yet you haven¡¯t had breakfast or wear the outfit I picked¡±.

    Liam was starting to get impatient now ¡°I¡¯mte already get out of the way!¡± he yelled at her causing everyone in the room to shudder except Amelia.

    She stepped back like she had given up but in the next second she dashed to the kitchen and the thing she did next shocked everyone.

    Liam looked down at his shirt which she spilled ketchup on.

    ¡°I hope this teaches you never to raise your voice at me, don¡¯t think I¡¯m doing all this because I love you I¡¯m only trying to make you a human being¡± she stated and watched him return to the room in anger.

    Amelia winked at the people present in the room before following her dear husband to the room.

    She came in to see Liam ransacking his closet.

    ¡°why are you so stubborn? just wear what I picked out for you or else you won¡¯t leave this house¡±.

    Amelia spoke mischief written all over her face.

    Liam nced at his wrist watch before he took the clothes from the bed and entered the closet.

    Amelia smiled meaningfully¡­..

 Chapter 14_ Rainbow 3

    Liam came out putting on the clothes she chose for him but found the room empty.

    He went downstairs to see her standing by the dining, he peeped at his watch, it wasn¡¯t as if he waste but he just couldn¡¯t stand her.

    Liam was trying his very best to tolerate her because she was ady and his wife at that.

    He had no choice but to sit down for breakfast, he hardly ever ate breakfast at home.

    He sighed this was just day one out of three hundred and fifty five days, he asked if he could really tolerate her for so long.

    After he was done eating he stood up to leave ¡°I hope this madness you pulled off today won¡¯t take ce ever again, it seems you didn¡¯t read the contract that you signed with me!¡±

    ¡°you haven¡¯t thought about how you would clear your name from that scandal and here you are imposing your rights on me whatever you do nobody should know about our marriage or I¡¯ll just prove it to be another scandal for you¡±.

    Liam said in one breathe he dropped a card on the table and left the house with his guards.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes widened when she saw the card it was a ck card, her evil mind started plotting again. ¡°so my husband left me this card to buy whatever I want, so nice of him¡±.

    Later that afternoon¡­¡­.

    Amy picked up her phone and opened her Instagram ount that was flooded with insults fromizens.

    She brought out the engagement ring from her purse and wore it on her finger.

    She took a quick snap of the ring on her finger before posting it.

    *I¡¯m sorry you all for thete update guys

    I¡¯m engaged the man in that video was

    my fiance*.

    After she posted it on her timeline, she left to freshen up.

    Within thirty minutes of posting her engagement to someone.

    Amelia¡¯s phone vibrated multiple times from notifications to phone calls her¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.

    Amelia was driven to the mall by her new driver, she rxed on the seat that was superfy.

    She brought out her phone after feeling it vibrate, her lips curved into a smile seeing the sudden change of events.

    Her face darkened, she remembered clearly when she told everyone that she would make aeback.

    Those who have wronged her should better get ready for her wrath.

    The car pulled over in front of the mall she could tell this was for the high ss society.

    She elegantly came down from the car that was opened by one of the guards who were tailing her earlier.

    People who recognized her as an actress surrounded her in seconds, she had no idea how the media came in less than thirty minutes.

    She smiled at the shing and clicking cameras taking her pictures.

    ¡°miss we saw your recent post on Instagram is it true¡±

    Amelia lifted her finger to them ¡°I¡¯m engaged¡± she managed to say, she was stuck in the crowd her guards managed to pave way from her.

    When she entered the mall she realized that it was almost empty.

    Amy fondled with the ck card in her hands, she went to thedies section everything her eyes caught she ordered for it immediately, she was having fun swiping the card continuously.

    Liam who was having a meeting with his business partners raised a brow receiving the notifications of debit every two seconds.

    He smirked was she trying to create a hole in his ount? his business partners exchanged looks when they saw the statue smile.

    Amelia knew she would provoke him by doing that so she continued swiping the card till she saw a call it was an unknown number.

    She had a feeling that it was him so she answered ¡± what are you trying to do?¡±

    Amy heard his voice at the other end, she wasn¡¯t surprised on how he got her number.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    ¡°I¡¯m trying to dig a deep hole in your bank as your punishment¡±.

    Liam ced his hand in his pocket ¡°well I¡¯ll like to see you try¡± he mumbled and ended the call.

 Chapter 15_ Rainbow 4

    The sales assistant¡¯s eyes widened by the pile of things on the counter, she called for backup immediately because it will take her a whole day to pack everything if she did it alone.

    Amelia sat on the armchair where they receive vip customers.

    After a few hours she was informed of the packaged goods, the guards shook their head slightly.

    The amount of things thisdy bought could clothe an entire city.

    Amelia came out from the mall, she has been busy on her phone all these while that she failed to notice the green truck behind her car.

    The reporters gathered around her again seeing the mass quantity of goods she bought.

    The guards paved way for her and led her to the car.

    When they were on the highway, she noticed a green truck has been following their car. ¡°why is the truck following us?¡± she asked the driver who itched his head weirdly.

    ¡°ma¡¯am the truck is loaded with what you ordered¡±.

    Amelia face palmed herself, she didn¡¯t realize that she bought all those, she was just having fun swiping the card.

    She let out a dryugh ¡± as far as it¡¯s not out of my money¡±.

    Liam was in his office when Dn came i looking down.

    Liam massaged his temples as he watched Dn sit in front of him.

    ¡°why do you look so down more than I do?¡± Dn inquired.

    Liam sneered at him ¡°and who told you I look down? if you have nothing important to say I suggest you leave my office¡±.

    Dn remained still on his seat he was having a bad day, for some reasons he has been thinking aboutst night¡¯s incident. He couldn¡¯t believe he was pt at a public ce.

    ¡°have you ever been pt by ady publicly?¡± Dn sarcastically asked.

    Liam arched a brow at him and scoffed ¡°tell me more¡± sarcasm evident in his tone.

    Dn sat up right ¡°don¡¯t tell me that your new wife pt you¡± Dn said resisting the urge tough.

    Liam¡¯s hand turned to a fist, thinking about that makes his blood boil.

    Dn erupted inughter on seeing Liam¡¯s expression.

    Liam who was already pissed of remembering how he was pt three times in one day got more angry seeing his friend having a good time with it.

    ¡°you don¡¯t need to be angry Liam, I also got ptst night¡± Dn¡¯s facial expressions changed the next minute.

    Liam turned on the t screen tv to avoid more teasing from Dn.

    The first thing he saw was his wife¡¯s face on TV, Dn also watched the tv with raised brows ¡°Liam isn¡¯t that your wife?¡±.

    ¡°I wish she wasn¡¯t¡± hemented¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Jane who was preparing breakfast came out after hearing Amelia¡¯s name on the TV.

    She saw Greg watching the news intently, he suddenly got up smashing the remote control.

    Jane rushed to his side ¡°Greg what is wrong?¡±.

    ¡°the actress whose affair with her driver got leaked hase out to speak about her sudden engagement saying that wasn¡¯t her driver but her fiance¡±.

    ¡°so our country owe Mrs Amelia Hart a big apology over the false video that was leaked to the public¡± the reporter announced.

    Jane¡¯s jaw tightened seeing that smile stered on Amelia¡¯s face, she knew well enough that that smile was a threat to her.

    Greg pulled Jane into a hug stroking her hair ¡± we will figure things out¡± he assured.

    Jane was very furious her head was in chaos Wondering who Amelia¡¯s fiance was.

    That girl always have a way out of trouble, herst sanity was broken when she saw the list of entertainment industries willing to have a contract with her.

    This time Jane knew that someone bigger was backing Amelia behind the scenes.

    She has made a vow never to allow Amelia experience happiness as long as she lived.

    Greg eyes shed with hate and envy towards the man who got engaged to Amelia, he still has something for Amelia even though he was with Jane.

    Amelia chuckled seeing herself on the tv, she had a big bowl of popcorn by her side.

    She had a hunch that Liam had something to do with the offers that she was receiving from the entertainment industries.

    She scoffed suddenly everyone wants to partner with her, she made up her mind to decline their offer. One thing she hated in her life were two faced people.

    Liam faced the screen again, he had promised Amelia that he would help her clear her name from the scandal if only she got married to him.

    He has fulfilled part of his deal now she owed him a lot.

    Liam received a phone call and answered it after hesitating for a while.

    ¡°Wow husband you truly are amazing, but you know what I¡¯ll rather prefer to partner somewhere else than thosepanies¡± Amelia said at the other end.

    Liam went numb those were the top entertainment industries in the country. ¡°so you want to work at a low ratingpany?¡±.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    Amelia snapped a piece of popcorn in between her finger before tossing it away ¡°no I want the best of the best¡±

    Liam tapped his hand impatiently on his desk ¡°look miss I don¡¯t have the time for your madness I¡¯m a very busy man¡± Liam replied coldly to her.

    ¡°I want to work at star entertainment¡± she announced while Liam ended the call.

    Liam returned home in the evening, he saw the dining were filled with various types of meal, he left for his room.

    The moment he stepped in, he stepped out again to check if this was really his room.

    Amelia who was on the bed found his attitude strange and shrugged.

    The door opened again as he stepped in, he looked around the room till he spotted her sitting on the bed.

    ¡°what is the meaning of this?!!¡± his voice echoed into her eardrum that she ced both hands on her ears.

    She hadpletely changed his whole room to something entirely it was all colorful and sparkling.

    ¡°I had to do a few changes since this is also my room¡± Amelia defended herself.

    ¡°By turning my room into a rainbow?!!¡± he barked further.

 Chapter 16_ Locked up 1

    Amelia raised a brow at his attitude ¡°you can thank meter¡±. She replied nonchntly as she filed her finger nails.

    unbeknownst to her Liam hates new changes in his life for some reasons best known to him alone, he roughly pulled Amelia out of the bed.

    ¡°hey let me go you¡¯re hurting me¡± Amelia struggled to break free from his grip.

    Liam dragged her out of the room, the servants who passed by scurried away from the sight.

    Earlier they tried to warn their young miss about the changes she made but she was adamant on doing it since it was her room also.

    Amelia crashed to the ground in a room, she watched Liam lock the iron gate behind him before tossing the key out of the window.

    ¡°let me out of here you as*hole¡± Amelia got up and kicked the door in frustration.

    She looked around the room, it was empty not even a single thing was present in it except the white walls.

    Was he trying to make her depressed or what, ¡°that jerk! he should be happy that I changed that boring room of his to something attractive¡±.

    Liam returned to the room, he was enraged. thatdy has crossed all the limits today, he had tolerated enough.

    He began smashing everything that was changed in the room after he was done he left the room.

    The servants, bodyguards and everyone who worked with him were assembled in therge living room.

    His grey eyes were fierce as he stared into space, he lit up a cigarette that was burning in his finger.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    ¡°from today onwards, everything will happen ording to my wishes andmand.¡±

    He turned to the servants ¡°go and restore my room the way it has always been!¡± he ordered and they left.

    He faced the drivers ¡°on no ord must you let that crazydy leave this house alone even if she fights you for it, right now I¡¯m giving you all an higher authority than her¡¯s, you may leave¡±.

    The drivers bowed and left the living room. ¡°and you all should be on standby don¡¯t let her leave that room for the next one week guard the entrance¡±.

    Liam massaged his head he knew Amelia well enough, thatdy was hell on earth. he knew she would find a way out like she normally does.

    The guards left to guard the door immediately,

    Now only the cooks were remaining, his eyes pierced through them that they shook to the core

    ¡°in the next seven days no food or water should be taken to that room on no ord even if it¡¯s a matter of life and death! except I say so¡±.

    He ordered and dismissed them.

    Amelia paced back and forth in the empty room she heard footstep approaching the room, she rushed to the door to check who it was.

    She scoffed loudly ¡°so he sent his stupid guards to guard the door¡±.

    The guards bowed at her when she touched the iron bars ¡°don¡¯t just stand there let me out!¡± she ordered while they ignored her.

    She hissed irritably and sat at a corner humming a tune with her eyes closed.

    She must say, this was far the most painful punishment she has ever seen.

    The white gloss paints were already making it hard for her to see clearly and the emptiness further added to depress her more.

    Amelia shook her head, she wouldn¡¯t give up now that stupid husband of hers must be happy about his victory but that won¡¯tst long.

    Her calctive mind started plotting, she doesn¡¯t know how long she was going to stay in here.

    ¡°how long will I stay here?¡± she casually stated asking one of the guards.

    The guard shed her a small smile ¡°for a whole week¡± he simply stated.

    ¡°That jerk wants to keep me locked up for a whole week!?¡±.

    After some hours he returned back to the room, everything were back to how it used to be now.

    He moved to the wall and moved a dog¡¯s statue, the wall opened like a door. immediately he stepped in it closed back.

    Anyone who saw that would assume it to be a normal wall but it was a secretpartment.

    Amelia rolled like a ball on the ground, she was so hungry. it¡¯s been hours since she was brought here but no one brought food to her.

 Chapter 17_ Locked up 2

    Amelia held her tummy, she made a vow to make Liam pay for keeping her Starving this way.

    Just when life was about to leave her, she saw a chocte bar being pushed into the room.

    She looked up to see who it was, it was that guard who smiled at her earlier.

    Amelia stood up and picked the bar of chocte, she wanted to thank him but she saw him cing his index finger on his lips.

    She took that as a cue, that means Liam nned to starve her because of some stupid furniture which she changed.

    She tore open the chocte wrapper and started munching on it, in the next few seconds she finished it all.

    She saw the guard stretch his hand into the room again, her brows furrowed.

    There was nothing with her, what could he possibly want?

    It suddenly dawned on her, Amelia sneakily ced the empty wrapper on his palm to avoid being seen by the other guard.

    Liam came out of the secretpartment and headed out of the door, he met his butler standing by the door with his head bowed.

    ¡°young master, young miss didn¡¯t have anything for lunch today and it¡¯s almost dinner time¡±.

    The butler bowed his head but heard nothing he looked up to find only him in the hallway.

    It seems his master wasn¡¯t ready to forgive Amelia yet.

    Liam headed to the room where he locked up Amelia, his guards where on standby guarding the room from all angles.

    When they saw him approaching they bowed as a sign of respect.

    He peeped through the bars to see what Amelia was up to, Amelia felt a piercing gaze on her.

    She met his eyes that were mocking her, she didn¡¯t want him to have the finalugh.

    Liam¡¯s blood boiled when he saw how happy she was, she was smiling and also waving at him.

    Amelia saw the anger that shed past those grey orbs of his and further widened her grin. ¡°did you miss me that much? don¡¯t worry I don¡¯t want to leave here anytime soon I¡¯m happy In here at least there is no arrogant Liam in here¡±.

    Liam¡¯s face darkened further as he stormed out of the ce, he was upset that she wasn¡¯t begging to be released like every normal people does instead she was happy.

    Amelia¡¯s smile turned upside down when he left ¡°jerk¡± she mumbled.

    The guard who gave a bar of chocte shook his head at her. his miss was just something else but he must say she really fits that arrogant boss of his.

    The next morning¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Liam was having breakfast when his butler walked to him. ¡°young master, miss has requested your presence¡± the butler bowed.

    Liam¡¯s face brightened up, it seems she has finallye to her senses to beg.

    After he was done having breakfast, he went to the room where he had locked up Amelia.

    He knocked on the gate with a smirk waiting to hear an apology.

    Amelia arched a brow as to why he was smiling, she blew air on her fingers.

    ¡°I asked your guards to let me out so I can ease myself but he said I should ask for your permission, so?¡± she blinked severally at him.

    His grip on the iron bars tightened, she called him here for this?.

    ¡°If you really want to hiss yourself you can just do it right there!¡± he mumbled and was about to leave.

    ¡°wait! there is something else¡± Amelia called out, Liam¡¯s smirk returned back to his handsome face.

    Amelia went closer to the bars and wiped her whole palm on his white shirt.

    Liam looked down at his shirt in shock before facing her again he tried to grab her but she went back smiling mischievously.

    ¡°if you really want to teach me a lesson then you have toe in here for that!¡± she said turning her back to him.

    Earlier she had wiped her palms on the dusty floor just to get back at him.

    She turned back to face him but he was long gone.

    ¡°just how am I supposed to pee?¡± she screamed at the guards.

    Nichs waited patiently for his brother to arrive in his office, he needed to speak things out with him.

    The door opened as Liam stepped in with his assistant who was tailing after him.

    Nichs face darkened seeing his step brother, Liam walked past him like he was not there at all to his seat and rang the inte.

    ¡°you all are fired¡± he simply stated and sat downpletely ignoring his step brother.

    ¡°Liam what you did to me was very wrong!¡± Nichs started and banged his hand on the table.

    ¡°I almost died in the study if it wasn¡¯t for Chloe who found me!¡±.

    Liam acted as if no one was present in the room with him.

    ¡°Liam I¡¯m talking to you?¡± Nichs yelled as his hands swiped off everything on Liam¡¯s table.

    Liam met his brother¡¯s gaze ¡°I¡¯ll only count to three if you are not out by then, you will be sorry for yourself¡±.

    Right now he was mad, it seems Amelia and Nichs has been created just to make his life a living hell.

    ¡°none of that shit works on me again! you¡¯ve dered war Liam, up until now I have tried to be a good brother to you, but your ego is just too big for you to¡­..¡± Nichs was rendered speechless after he was punched by Liam.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

    It seems as if the punch brought him back to his senses ¡°did your mother ask you to act tough?¡± Liam scoffed.

    ¡°too bad you can never be a man again¡± Liam mocked.

    He watched his brother change to different shades of red before leaving his office.

    He has been having a bad day since today, and it started from Amelia.

    Liam massaged his neck, he was starting to regret ever signing a contract with Amelia.

    That girl has been driving him insane since they got married.

 Chapter 18_ Naked 1

    Nichs was enraged as he came out of his brother¡¯s office, his pride was hurt after Liam said those words to him.

    His guards saw him approaching with long strides, they opened the grey Maybach for him to step into, he turned back taking one more nce at the building.

    ¡°you would hear from me soon Liam Grayson¡±.

    Angie got up when she saw her soning into the house, her brows creased seeing his red face.

    ¡°honey are you alright?¡± Angie worriedly asked.

    ¡°how will I be alright mum?! that brat insulted and questioned my manhood I won¡¯t spare him this time!¡±

    Angie watched him leave, her lips curled into a smile as her mind plotted. ¡°don¡¯t worry son, leave this all to your mum to handle¡± she whispered.

    This weekend old Grayson called for a family meeting, she will make sure to use this to her advantage.

    Liam who was in a business meeting received a message from an unknown number, after reading the text he turned off his phone and focused on his business partners. ¡°so Mr Xander you are trying to tell me that if I invest in your project I¡¯ll get twenty percent profit? do you think I¡¯m stupid? security!¡±

    The security ran in less than five seconds ¡± throw them all out and if I see anyone of them near this building you all will face my wrath!¡±.

    The investors stared at each other in awe, they¡¯ve been business partners for more than thirty years even before Liam was appointed CEO of thepany.

    ¡°but¡­

    Liam raised his hand to silence them, the guards grabbed each of the elderly men and sent them out of thepany.

    His eyes turned to his phone again, he picked it up and left the conference room.

    Amelia stepped out of the room where she was locked in, she followed the guard who led her to the living room.

    She saw an old man sitting on the sofa, she knew he was powerful because of the aura he was emitting.

    She met his grey orbs that seemed to be staring into her soul, she waved at him but got scorned at immediately. ¡°have you no manners young child?¡±

    Amelia raised a brow at his words, nobody speaks to her in such tone just who does he think he is?

    ¡°listen old man no one speaks to me in such tone, and what are you doing in my house? I tried being polite but you took it as an insult¡± Amelia retorted.

    Old Grayson stood up at once, ¡°such audacity! who let this mad woman into this house?!¡± he barked.

    The guards and servants bowed their head in silence, no one wanted to get into his bad books or else they had a death wish.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes narrowed at the old man ¡°you old rat! how dare you¡­.

    She felt a palm covering her mouth to stop her from speaking further.

    Amelia smelt that familiar masculine scent, it was Liam! what was he doing back here so early?!

    Old Grayson¡¯s eyes darted to Liam who was behind Amelia. ¡°what brings you here grandfather?¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes widened ¡°gr.. a¡­ nd father?!¡± her lips pursed into a thin line as she face palmed herself.

    She bit Liam¡¯s palm making him flinch from the sudden sharp pain.

    Amelia wiped her lips several times, she suddenly went down on her knees with her hands ced together in a pleading pose.

    Liam¡¯s eyes almost popped out from its sockets seeing Amelia on her knees ¡°I¡¯m sorry for how I spoke to you earlier but you had no right calling me a mad woman¡­.¡±

    She bit her tongue ¡°I meant please forgive me¡± she pleaded dramatically.

    Old Grayson patted her head picking her up ¡°how are you rted to this dummy?¡± he asked casually.

    Amelia blinked ¡®did he forgive me?¡¯ ¡°I¡¯m his¡­.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t think any of this concerns you? and by the way why are you at my house? I told you years back that I¡¯m done with you and your family so I¡¯ll be d if you could just leave¡± he spoke arrogantly.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes furrowed, it seems he had problems with his family ¡°that¡¯s no way to speak to an elder¡± Amelia barked but instantly regretted it, everyone casted her a gaze at the same time even the servants.

    ¡°whether you are in the family or not, this weekend I want to see you in the Grayson¡¯s ancestral home for a meeting¡± old Grayson stated and left the house.

    Amelia watched the old man leave, she could swear that she saw a pang of pain sh past his eyes, she faced Liam.

    ¡°sometimes you have to think carefully how your words might hurt others before speaking!¡±

    As if struck by lightning he suddenly remembered that she was supposed to be locked up and not up here.

    ¡°who released you from your punishment?¡± he barked at her face.

    Amelia also didn¡¯t have an idea about that all she knew was that the gate was opened for her and she left.

    He turned to his guards ¡°old Grayson did¡±.

    Liam furrowed his brow, how did old Grayson find out about his captive?.

    ¡°I guess he had a heart all along, why don¡¯t you try to be like your dad and grandfather?¡± Amelia nonchntlymented.

    Liam grabbed her hand turning her to face him, his face inched closer to hers ¡°if you say that one more time I promise you¡¯ll regret it¡± he threatened.

    Amelia smiled mischievously at him, their faces were only inches apart ¡°dear husband don¡¯t you know? this naughty wife of yours isn¡¯t scared of you at all¡±.

    She gently brushed her lips against his cheeks and stepped on his foot before leaving for her room.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    Liam gritted his teeth, just when he thought he could control the world with his power and wealth a daring woman walked into his life.

    He dismissed his servants to their duty posts, right now he had urgent matters to deal with.

    His eyes darted to the closed doors of his room.

    Amelia stepped into the room, she wasn¡¯t surprised that he turned the room back to its usual boring color of ck and white.

    She knew he must have gone back to the office by now, without wasting much time, she stripped herself naked, she didn¡¯t have a bathst night.

    The door suddenly opened, she turned around to see Liam rooted on the ground staring at her.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes widened

    Liam remained calm and walked towards her with a smirk stered on his handsome face.

    ¡°Get out!!!¡± Amelia screamed at him picking up the duvet, she wrapped it around her body.

    ¡°There¡¯s really no need to hide your body from me, I already saw you naked remember that night?¡±

    Amelia heaved in anger and embarrassment turning to different shades of red.

    ¡°You! You are shameless Liam don¡¯t you know how to knock?¡±

    ¡°Knock? this is my room and I cane in whenever I want to, and besides the guest room is downstairs you are always weed there, but if you choose to be stubborn then I might have to be watching a strip show from today onwards¡±

    Liam shamelesslymented but he regretted it the next minute.

    Amelia smiled mischievously, she can¡¯t let him win now.

    She ced her hands on his chest pushing him slowly to the bed ¡°what are you trying to do? get off me!¡± Liam yelled at her.

    Whenever he saw that mischievous smile on her face he was sure that she was up to something.

    Amelia ced her index finger on his lips teasingly before climbing on him.

    Liam¡¯s eyes narrowed at her level of shamelessness, Her hands roamed around his chest.

    The duvet she tied around her lowered showing off her fair and perky mounds, he gulped hard.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    This girl was trying to seduce him, he saw her face inching closer to his, she slightly brushed her lips against his.

    Liam hissed his little brother down dare was getting active rapidly because of her teasing.

    Amelia smiled in victory feeling the budge beneath her.

    Liam was speechless when she got up from him. ¡°Dear husband I hope you¡¯ll learn your lesson!¡± She turned around heading into the bathroom.

    Liam sighed in frustration his little brother was now standing proudly.

    He cursed slightly getting off the bed, he heard the water running and a humming tune followed.

    It looks like she was having a good time after she awakened his junior!

    Louisa clutched the file tightly, she had been to variouspanies in the quest of getting a good job after she was fired.

    Whenever she remembers the reason she was fired anger engulfs her whole being.

    Right now she was on her way for another interview, she barely have twenty minutes to get there.

    It seems fate doesn¡¯t want her to get a job either, she stood under the scorching heat waiting for a cab.

    She saw a car approaching and waved for it to stop, instead it sshed mud on her.

    ¡°What the f*ck?¡± She cursed loudly, her clothes werepletely ruined even her face and file didn¡¯t miss the harsh treatment.

    The car stopped and reversed back, the ss whined down ¡°here I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t see you there¡± he said stretching a box of tissue paper.

    Dn kept on stealing side nces at Louisa, she was constantly sighing and cracking her fingers.

    The car pulled over into the parking lot, Louisa felt the car stopped moving, she came down from the car and stared at the building in awe.

    Dn came down and stood beside her, ¡°go in I¡¯ll wait right here¡± he replied with a smile.

    Louisa stared at him weirdly, was he foolish? can¡¯t he see her unkempt state?

    ¡°Do you really think I¡¯ll be let into the building with my current state?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ll never know if you don¡¯t try, don¡¯t worry I already spoke to them on your behalf ¡± he assured.

    Louisa walked into the building, she saw the gazes the employees gave her as she walked past them, she really felt like a fool, she shouldn¡¯t have listened to Dn ande in here dressed like this.

    She went to the front desk, thedy raised her hand to stop her froming closer.

    Louisa frowned at the rude behavior, it seems no one has manners in here. ¡°I¡¯m here for an interview, please direct me to the floor¡± Louisa forced a smile trying to be polite.

    The receptionist scoffed loudly ¡°oh sorry you just came in through it¡± she replied scornfully.

    The phone beside her rang, she picked it up.

    Louisa felt embarrassed and was about heading out when the receptionist called back ¡°excuse me miss, the twentieth floor¡±

    Louisa was surprised but nevertheless she quickly left.

    The receptionist watched her back in wonder.

    Louisa breathed in and stepped into the CEO¡¯s office, ¡°hi miss please take your seat!¡±

    Louisa raised a brow at the young man who looked somewhat familiar to her, as if struck on the head it suddenly dropped.

    He is one of those spoilt brat who visits the club where she worked at before she got fired.

 Chapter 20_ Star actress 1

    Louisa maintained her poise and sat in front of him, he collected her file and examined it in less than five seconds ¡°okay I¡¯ve seen enough!¡± he mumbled bringing out a file.

    Louisa was perplexed, something wasn¡¯t right here ¡°please sign this papers¡± James said with a smile on his face.

    Louisa stared at the file in confusion why does she need to sign a file, James saw the hesitation in her eyes.

    ¡°it¡¯s a two year contract with thepany which states that you won¡¯t leave until the contract expires and if you wish to stay after the contract expires then it¡¯s your choice¡±.

    Louisa found it weird whichpany does that? but what other choice does she have?.

    She picked up a pen ¡°and what if I breach the contract?¡± she asked.

    ¡°then you will have to pay a sum of twenty million¡± James replied with a mischievous grin.

    Louisa sighed and scribbled down her signatures everywhere necessary.

    ¡°here¡± she passed the paper back to James who smiled victoriously, ¡°so you¡¯ll resume tomorrow¡± Jamesmented.

    She smiled in relief, finally she has gotten a job that doesn¡¯t involve bars what could possibly go wrong?

    The door opened, she heard footsteps behind her, Louisa turned her to see who just stepped in, her brows furrowed.

    She saw two guys behind her, those mischievous rich brats that drinks at her bar and worst of it Dn was here.

    James excused himself from the CEO¡¯s seat, she watched how Dn returned to the spot where James left.

    Racheal was filled with shock that she left her mouth opened. ¡°you? what is going on here?¡± Racheal shrieked.

    Dn picked the signed documents on his table ¡°you just signed a contract with mypany foolish girl¡±.

    The trio had a goodugh watching Louisa¡¯s expression, she looked really funny right now.

    ¡°you are the owner? how came i didn¡¯t know this?¡±.

    Dn¡¯s smiling face turned serious¡±I was quite shocked when I saw that you applied for a job in mypany, I saw it in your file and I knew that if I told you to work for me you¡¯ll bluntly reject the offer¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not sorry that I stooped to this level but what can I do seeing you in a bar?¡± Dn exined with a grin.

    Louisa¡¯s eyes turned fierce ¡°I don¡¯t want to work here anymore¡±

    James held her shoulder¡±no no no my dear you can¡¯t do that! if you do then you have to pay twenty whole million for breaching the contract I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t want that?¡±

    Louisa threw down the hand he ced on her shoulder¡±fine have it your way!¡± she barked and exited the office.

    James and Steven had a smug smile stered on their faces as they stared at Dn.

    ¡°what?¡± he shrugged.

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe you called me out here to help you with this! what if I wasn¡¯t so close to yourpany?¡± Jamesmented taking out the wine he brought with him.

    ¡°but guess what? you are here now and you did the job!¡± Dn scorned picking up one ss of the wine James poured out.

    ¡°cheers to our new found sister inw¡± Stevenmented clicking his ss with James ss.

    ¡°wait what?!¡± Dn flew up immediately.

    James and Steve exchanged gazes andughed out loud..

    Amelia dressed up into a simple outfit, it was so boring at home her phone vibrated.

    it was Louisa, seems like her friend was having a bad day.

    She creased her brows when she saw the guards around her, she folded her hands beneath her bossom.

    ¡°now what?¡± she questioned,

    ¡°boss asked us not to let you out miss¡± a guard informed her.

    She let out a scoff, was Liam out of his mind she wasn¡¯t a prisoner or something to be kept hostage does he want her to die from depression?

    Her eyes narrowed at them ¡°let me through or else you¡¯ll regret it!¡± she warned but no one seemed to listen to her.

    Amelia tied her shoulder length hair with a band, before heading to the kitchen.

    The moment she came out the guards panicked slightly, she was with a lighter ¡°now let me go or I¡¯ll make you a roasted meat¡± she threatened.

    The guards stepped back no one wanted to be burnt alive, Amelia smiled as they parted way for her, she blew off the me and headed out.

    Louisa waited patiently for Amelia, a car stopped in front of her. She wondered who that could be again, the ss whined down to reveal that mischievous smile.

    Her mood was ted in seconds as she hopped into the car.

    ¡°Amy you are looking all good¡± Louisa eximed,

    Amelia blushed slightly ¡°you aren¡¯t bad either tell me is Jake giving you a hard time?¡±.

    ¡°no he dares not¡± Louisa replied which made them bothugh.

    ¡°I¡¯m actually going shopping, I need a few things¡±

    Amelia brought out the ck card examining it, ¡°look at this Lou, I just love swiping this card why don¡¯t we buy the whole city with this?¡± Amelia suggested.

    Louisa stared at the card in awe, ¡°are you sure your husband won¡¯t be mad about this?¡±

    ¡°of course that¡¯s what I want!¡± Amelia replied ¡°driver take us to the mall¡±.

    They arrived at the mall but this time it wasn¡¯t empty, some elites were present doing some shoppings also.

    Louisa felt herself being pulled in by Amelia to thedies section and sighed. Amelia just loves doing what makes her happy.

    Amelia spotted a silver heels and gasped, it looks pretty, it has little pearl stone adorned on it.

    ¡°wow!!¡± the twodies admired, just as Amelia raised her hand to pick it from the shelf where it was kept, it was pulled out of her hand.

    Amelia and Louisa raised their heads to see who that was, they met with that familiar face.

    ¡°I¡¯ll take that! oh my it¡¯s you Amy and your new sidekick¡± Jane scorned.

    Amelia¡¯s teeth gnashed in anger, ¡°why would you try to buy something that you can¡¯t afford? don¡¯t you see that this mall is where the upper ss shop at?¡± Jane mocked.

    ¡°don¡¯t forget your ce Amelia, you are no longer a star actress but a pornstar, I wonder who you slept with again to clear your name! and who is the unlucky man who got engaged to you?¡±.

    Amelia turned red in anger, Jane smiled seeing her expression but her smile fell after she was pt twice by Amelia.

 Chapter 21_ Star actress 2

    Jane¡¯s hand touched her cheeks, ¡°you cunning b*tch!¡± Jane spat in disgust just as Amelia raised her hand again for the third p, she felt a strong hold on her wrist.

    She faced the person who held her hand and her anger boiled more, ¡°if you darey another finger on her you¡¯ll regret it!¡± Greg threatened.

    Jane rushed to his side feigning tears ¡°baby, I only wanted those heels when I tried to get them she pt me saying all kinds of mean things¡±.

    Greg tried to console the grown up baby holding on to him.

    Louisa stepped forward ¡°hey drama queen will you please take your tears somewhere else? and besides Amelia saw those heels first so she must have it¡± Louisa stated.

    Greg stared at the heels and collected it from Jane, ¡°it¡¯s pretty and my soon to be wife must have it!¡±.

    Amelia scoffed and held his wrist tightly ¡°I saw it first and I must have it¡±.

    Greg tried to get rid of her hand on his but it seems she wouldn¡¯t back down that easily.

    ¡°look Amelia this costs over two thousand and you can¡¯t afford it, you are no longer in the limelight anymore so please save yourself from embarrassment now you still have the chance!¡± Greg angrily spoke, by the minutes her grip was tightening on his wrist.

    Jane intervened to free Greg from Amelia¡¯s grip, ¡°let go of him you b*tch!¡± Jane cursed.

    Louisa didn¡¯t know what to do, she just sat down to witness this life scene they were putting on, she knew well that Amelia was enough for the two foolish couple.

    ¡°okay! fine then Amelia have it¡± Jane scorned she was sure enough that Amelia wouldn¡¯t be able to afford it.

    ¡°why babe? I thought you liked the heels¡± Greg asked.

    Jane folded her arms ¡°of course I like it but I want to watch her embarrass herself, she can¡¯t afford it¡±.

    Amelia and Louisa threw a mocking gaze at the two, she went over to the counter to pay for the shoes with the ck card.

    Greg and Jane were shocked when they saw the card, ¡°where on earth did you steal that from? it was embarrassing enough when we found out about your affair with a mere driver and now? you¡¯ve resulted into stealing?¡± Gregmented.

    Amelia rolled her eyes at his words and swiped the card but it was rejected, she swiped it again, it was rejected she did that for almost one minute before the sales rep. stopped her ¡°ma¡¯am, if you keep doing that it will spoil the machine, I don¡¯t think that card is good¡±.

    Louisa got up and walked to the counter ¡°Amy what is wrong? I thought Liam gave you this?¡± Louisa whispered to receive a nod.

    Amelia cursed Liam inwardly, of all times to do this why now?.

    She heard stifledughtering from Greg, Jane, some nosy people and even the sales rep.

    Her fists tightened as she cursed Liam in her mind continuously, because of him she was being humiliated in public.

    Jane matched forward and pulled the heels off Amelia¡¯s hand, smiling scornfully she ced Greg¡¯s debit card on the counter. ¡°didn¡¯t I tell you that you will only humiliate yourself? you brought that stupid card in here to fool everyone, shameless!¡±.

    Amelia was in no mood to argue with Jane, infact she wasn¡¯t paying any attention to her, her mind was focused on how to end Liam, because of him¡­. oh gosh! she loves winning but today she lost.

    Jane pushed Amelia from the front of the counter, Amelia closed her eyes with the thought that she would fall and hurt herself but she felt a pair of arms around her waist supporting her from falling she smelt that familiar masculine scent.

    ¡°who dares bully my wife?!¡± his voice thundered in their ears.

    Amelia looked up in shock, how did Liam find out that she was here?.

    Liam helped her stand well on her feet again as his sharp grey orbs pierced through everyone present there.

    Greg refused to believe that he was seeing Liam Grayson and worst of all he just addressed Amelia as his wife or did he hear wrong?.

    Jane was unable to catch her breathe she only sees him on tv whenever he was interviewed, but now she was seeing him in person, he was so hot and handsome.

    Greg stepped forward ¡°Mr. Grayson it¡¯s an honor to finally meet you!¡± Greg eximed excitedly with his hands stretched out for a handshake.

    Liam didn¡¯t even give him a look but turned to Amelia ¡°you were in a rush that you mistakenly took the wrong card, that one is blocked use this instead¡± Liam urged her giving her a simr ck card, Amelia collected it and almost kissed him out of joy he saved her from humiliation in the nick of time.

    ¡°thanks honey¡± she replied.

    Greg and Jane were totally confused on what was going on, how did Amelia know Liam and it seems they were involved romantically.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    Jane¡¯s eyes zed with anger and envy, her lips formed a smirk as she stepped forward. ¡°Mr Grayson did you just address this filth as your wife?¡±

    Jane scorned, Liam remained expressionless as he listened to what the foolish girl in front of him had to say ¡°Incase you don¡¯t know thisdy here had a stand with her driver and to crown it all she just got engaged to a man, she publicly announced it to the media, do you really want to spend your beautiful life with a sad story like her?¡± .

    Jane smiled victoriously, seeing the way that Liam listened and looked at her she assumed that he believed what she had said.

    Amelia guaged Liam¡¯s expression, she hopped he doesn¡¯t believe that.

    Liam frowned at the stupid girl in front of him, what was she bbing about?.

    Louisa stood in front of Jane ¡°how much lower can you stoop? take your lousy self out of here now!¡±.

    Amelia grabbed the heels from Jane and moved to the counter swiping the card this time it was approved.

    She stared at the pretty heels in victory, Liam saved her face today.

    Greg who was somewhat embarrassed when Liam refused his handshake he held Jane from saying things that could provoke Liam further.

    ¡°Mr Grayson don¡¯t be offended by her attitude, she can be overly dramatic sometimes¡±.

    ¡°by the way I¡¯m Greg Harrison¡±. Greg introduced with a small bow which made Louisa roll her eyes as always still dreaming to fly high.

    Liam raised a brow ¡°Harrison? yourpany recently came to mypany for investment¡± Liam asked to receive a nod from Greg.

    Liam brought out his phone raising it to his ear, ¡°I want all the shares of the Harrison¡¯s group ofpanies before the next twenty minutes¡±. Liam ordered.

    The smile on Greg¡¯s face freezed, Liam held Amelia¡¯s hand lovingly as he led her out of the mall.

    Greg felt his phone vibrating, he picked it up and his face stiffened he ran after Liam who was heavily guarded outside the mall.

    Louisa watched the expression on Jane¡¯s face and smiled ¡°you should know by now how much Amy loves winning and yet you messed with her so face the consequences!¡±.

    Louisa smiled further seeing Jane¡¯s face go sour. ¡°you knew about him?!¡± Jane asked in shock, when she was still so close to Amelia she was always the first to know everything about her because Amelia never hides anything from her.

    ¡°of course I knew! who else did Amelia have a stand with if not Mr Grayson? this time I must apud your foolishness, for the first time your stupid ns benefitted Amy!¡±.

    Jane paled further, how was all these possible? she actually moved Amelia from grass to grace, now she is the wife of Mr Grayson.

    She held her mouth in shock as tears streamed down her face, this wasn¡¯t the tears of regret but anger! she has vowed to never let Amelia happy.

    ¡°bu¡­ but¡­ she was engaged few days back¡± Jane stuttered still trying to give herself some hope.

    Louisa sighed at the pitiful Jane ¡°that was just a facade to stop the scandal that you created, how was I foolish? you deliberately stopped me from attending the party by sending that false invite about Damien¡¯s party of course I was angry when Amelia said those words to me, it hurt me deeply but you know what? she has two shield backing her now, I and Mr Grayson¡±.

 Chapter 22_ Bickering

    Greg watched Liam leave with Amelia, his whole life was in a mess after Liam made one phone call, his father will definitely skin him alive once he finds out about the mess he had created.

    Liam sighed exasperatedly once the car hit the highway, ¡°you are unbelievable!¡± Liam started tugging his neck tie.

    Right now he didn¡¯t know if he should be angry or not, Amelia grinned from ear to ear running her hand through the edges of the box she was holding which contained the heels she bought. ¡°you are a great actor also believe me you will surely be more sessful in the entertainment industry¡± Amelia expressed.

    Liam sneered at her words, he suddenly felt tempted to push her out of the moving car, ¡°have you lost it?! what were you thinking fighting over a stupid heel? have you forgotten the shopping spree you did few days ago? for crying out loud a mini truck was almost filled up!¡± Liam spoke rashly jerking Amelia a bit.

    Amelia narrowed her eyes down at him ¡°don¡¯t you dare call my shoe stupid and besides you almost humiliated me in public by freezing my card! I almost lost these heels because of you!¡±.

    Liam removed his coat, he might go mad if he keeps talking to her she is just so¡­.. urgh!!This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    ¡°of course I had to stop you from wasting a part of yourpensation fee¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s smiling face fell after she heard what Liam just said, was he for real? ¡°wait I have been spending a part of my money? howe you never told me, if I had known I wouldn¡¯t have spent so much the other day and on these heels¡± she whined.

    Liam smirked, this was what he wanted. She has to understand that she can¡¯t always win, meanwhile Amelia didn¡¯t miss that smirk.

    ¡°okay nevermind I ept it that way but since this card is limitless I¡¯ll rather spend your money from now on¡± she replied cing the card in her pink purse.

    Liam frowned, that was his personal card, he tried to reach for her purse but Amelia was faster, she held it tightly in her arms.

    ¡°let me have it!¡± he ordered, Amelia pouted her lips ¡°mind your tone, I hate lousy people!¡± she dered while Liam wasn¡¯t having any of it.

    He grabbed her hand pulling her towards him harshly ¡°honestly I have never met anydy like you in my life! so troublesome and¡­¡­ urgh! nevermind!¡±.

    Amelia pulled her wrist out of his grip and smacked his arm ¡°listen to me carefully Liam I have never met a man like you in my life who fights with his adorable wife all the time, you know when I was with Greg he never fights with me!¡±

    Liam¡¯s hands turned into fist, he held her shoulder shaking her lightly ¡°are youparing me to that cheap ex of yours? at the end of everything did he stay with you?¡± Liam barked at her.

    Amelia gently removed his hand on her shoulder before giving it a tight squeeze ¡°dear husband please don¡¯t ruin my mood, for once in your life you did a good thing by teaching those rascals a big lesson please don¡¯t loose the teeny weeny respect you gained from me today¡±.

    Liam sighed as he took one more nce at thedy beside him if only he had known about her stubborn and self willed nature he would have saved himself the trouble of getting married to her.

    Earlier today when he was at the office, he received a call from Amelia¡¯s guard that she threatened to burn them to death if she wasn¡¯t let out. after an hour he received another call about her encounter with her ex boyfriend and his new girlfriend.

    He had to drop everything and rushed down there because he froze the card he gave her.

    Amelia continued admiring her new heels ¡°darling when are you nning to sign me up with star entertainment, I¡¯m bored sitting at home all day!¡± she whined stroking his arm tenderly.

    Liam massaged his temples for a while before holding her hand that was causing some weird feeling in his body. ¡°I have had enough of you, what makes you think that I would sign you up in my entertainmentpany?¡± Liam inquired.

    Seriously of alldies at the party that night why did Nichs pick this troublesome one.

    e on Liam, star entertainment is under your name why should I work for other industries when my husband owns the best¡±.

    Liam sighed and made a phone call, so far today she has seen the power of his phone call, her eyes brightened when she heard him talking about her.

    The driver looked through the rearview mirror, it seems his boss and miss loves bickering a lot, this was the far worstbination ever where no one wants to listen to the other..

    ..

    ..

    .

    Later that night¡­.

    Amelia picked up her ringing phone, she smiled when she saw the caller ¡°mum!¡± she cried out hearing her mum¡¯s voice again, a lot of things happened to her in her mum¡¯s absence.

    ¡°don¡¯t worry about me I¡¯m good how about we meet tomorrow? I have a lot to say to you okay? good night sweet dreams love you¡±.

    Amelia sighed if only her dad could just call to check on her, she missed him a lot but since he got married again the father daughter bond they once shared has been strained.

    She got up from the bed picking up a cigarette she lighted it taking a long drag before releasing it out.

    She walked to the window after hearing a horn, Liam was back.

    Amelia groaned slightly, he was back with his troubles, after a while she heard the door open with footsteps behind her.

    ¡°what are you doing?¡± his voice rang in her ears, she turned to him.

    ¡°smoking out the window!¡± she simply stated walking towards the bed.

    Liam walked towards her and snatched the cigarette from her ¡± if you want to do this, do it outside!¡± he barked further.

    Amelia frowned at his rude behavior ¡°hey Liam give that back!¡± Amelia stood up to get her cigarette back from him, Liam raised it above him.

    ¡°this isn¡¯t fair!¡± she whined, she couldn¡¯t reach it because of his height.

    She watched the cigarette fall slowly to the ground before Liam stepped on it.

    ¡°don¡¯t smoke in here again¡± Liam warned and was about to leave.

    Amelia pushed him back with all her strength as if Liam knew what was going through her mind that minute he pulled her along with him to the floor and their lips met.

 Chapter 23_ Meeting the Graysonâ€™s 1

    Amelia got up with a wicked grin on her lips, drawing out her phone she took a quick snap at his current position. ¡°dear husband I don¡¯t mind circting this photo of you on the floor I bet your admirers would love to see this¡±.

    She tied her hair before hitting the bed, Liam was bbergasted, since she came into his life she has been the one calling the shots but not any longer.

    Liam pulled off his coat heading into the bathroom.

    The night was very cold as rain poured down heavily, a thunder bolt jerked Amelia she kept on turning and tossing.

    She turned to Liam who was sleeping peacefully like a log of wood. two things she was scared of the most were dogs and thunderbolts.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Amelia waved her hand over his face to check if he was really asleep. There was another loud thunderbolt she looked towards the window, white and blue lights were shing in the sky.

    She inched towards him little by little until she felt her skin touching his. ¡®oh goodness his body is surprisingly warm¡¯ she thought inwardly before slowly drifting into sleep.

    The next morning Liam woke up only to find his troublesome wife on him sleeping sofortably as if he was the bed.

    He saw her clutch unto him tightly rubbing her head on his chest.

    Amelia sluggishly opened her eyes, she looked at the other end of the bed. ¡®where did he go so early?¡¯ she asked herself confusedly.

    Liam hissed at her dumbness before he pushed her off his body.

    ¡°stupid! what on earth?!¡±.

    The leftover sleep in her eyespletely disappeared as she fell to the ground. ¡°Liam! have you lost it? why would you push me off that way?!¡±

    Amelia questioned standing up to her feet.

    ¡°please don¡¯t ruin my mood this morning¡± Liam replied getting off the bed. ¡°hey Mr arrogant you are always in a bad mood¡±.

    Liam got up from the bed and left for the bathroom, he didn¡¯t have the time for her drama.

    ¡°how pathetic!¡±.

    Liam entered the room after he was done bathing, he paused for a second seeing Amelia still in the room she should be downstairs by now looking for a new drama to create for him.

    Amelia raised her head from the magazine she was reading, her jaw dropped open as she swallowed hard.

    Liam was only putting on a towel that hanged loosely around his thin waist.

    His hair was still dripping, her eyes traced the water that dropped from his hair gliding down to his perfect abs till it disappeared into the towel.

    Liam saw her gwaking at him and let out a smirk, ¡°you know girls can¡¯t deny my charm¡± Liammented.

    Amelia blinked out of her daze ¡°well you see I was wondering why you have a pot belly! you are so far the worst I¡¯ve seen¡±.

    Liam¡¯s jaw clenched, pot belly?! ¡°what?! pot belly?!¡± Liam asked checking himself out.

    Liam took in a deep breathe, she was obviously trying to provoke him but that won¡¯t work. he turned around facing the mirror just to be sure.

    Amelia smiled taking quick nces at him her eyes darted to the remote control beside her.

    Liam creased his brow for some reasons the room was getting cooler, he faced Amelia who seemed busy reading the magazine.

    He shrugged the thought off, another wave of cold breeze brushed through his exposed skin, his head immediately snapped to the air-conditioner present in the room.

    ¡°why is it dropping?¡± he asked but received silence in return. Liam searched around for the remote control ¡°have you seen the remote control for the Aircon?¡± he asked pushing down the magazine she was reading.

    ¡°wow! is there an air-conditioner in this room? I have never seen it so why would I see the remote?¡± Amelia scorned.

    Liam massaged his temples in frustration he might go mad before their one year marriage contract ends. he went into his walk-in closet.

    Amelia turned off the Aircon rubbing her arms slightly. ¡°jerk!¡±.

    Liam headed down his men were already waiting for his arrival in therge living room, Amelia heard his voice from the kitchen and hurried out.

    ¡°Liam you can¡¯t leave without breakfast¡± Amelia called out to receive a re.

    ¡°I¡¯ll have something on my way! and yes you can go to star entertainment today, pack your bags we are leaving for Grayson¡¯s ancestral home tomorrow morning¡± Liam stated before leaving the house.

    Amelia was too overwhelmed to stop him from leaving, she was so happy for the second time In that week Liam did something good to make her smile she will start her career again..

    ..

    ..

    Louisa turned on the bed, she opened her eyes slowly trying to adjust to the light.

    She came down from the bed stretching and yawning at the same time.

    Reality suddenly dawned on her, it was her first day of work, her head snapped to the clock she barely had thirty minutes to get ready.

    Like a sh she dashed into the bathroom to freshen up.

    In twenty five minutes she got dressed and left for the office, ¡°howe I woke up sote?¡± she screamed at herself hailing down a cab.

    Once she entered the building her breathing became heavy, her heels made soft clicks as she hurried to the front desk.

    It was that same receptionist who spoke to her rudely the other day ¡°hi I¡¯m a new employee here where is my assigned desk? please check for my name¡± Louisa said hurriedly.

    The receptionist eyed her before turning back to herputer without uttering a word to Louisa.

    Louisa¡¯s eyes zed ¡°I¡¯m asking you a question!¡± Louisa screamed banging her hand on the desk.

    The receptionist jerked from the sudden bang and faced Louisa.

    The other employees passing by faced them nobody has been able to challenge Lancy because she had a deep connection with their boss so she does whatever she pleases.

    ¡°how dare you raise your voice at me?!¡± Lancy spoke snapping her fingers to dismiss the others who were standing by.

    ¡°pardon? I only asked you a question that pertains your job but you ignored me, you are lucky that we are not outside if not you¡¯d have been admitted into the hospital by now! stupid!¡± Louisa said before leaving.

    His employees were just like him, manner less!

    Without knocking she pushed the door open and stepped into his office.

    Dn¡¯s eyes narrowed at her he was currently on a call ¡°yeah! I¡¯ll get back to you¡± he said and hanged up. Louisa walked to his table ¡°why did you create a scene downstairs? she was just trying to be nice to you¡± Dn said to receive a sharp re from Louisa. ¡± nice?! that rude punk you call receptionist caused a scene not me! and why are you questioning me? you should question her instead or is she one of your numerous things?¡±

    ¡°Louisa!¡± Dn barked at her ¡°mind yournguage¡±.

    Louisa breathed out in anger ¡°or what? you are going to fire me? please do because I don¡¯t want to work here either¡±..

 Chapter 24_ Meeting the Graysonâ€™s 2

    Dn sighed she had such a bad temper ¡°Louisa have you forgotten about the contract you signed yesterday? forget it! you are my secretary so your post is outside¡±.

    Louisa brought out a pencil from her purse and snapped it into two releasing her breath. Dn raised a brow at her, she dropped the pencil into the waste bin before going out.

    ¡°weird!¡±

    ..

    .

    Inside a dressing room at star entertainment, the crashing and shing sound was heard as ady threw down everything she came in contact with her manager tried to calm her down but got thrashed at in return. ¡°calm down miss, the producers have a good reason for their decision¡± her manager tried to exin.

    Evelyn¡¯s eyes zed in anger she was the star actress of this industry who darese against her, her role has been given to someone else. ¡°tell me what does she have that I don¡¯t have? I have been working with them for years now I¡¯m the most beautiful actress they could ever see so why? and who is this intruder who stole my spot?¡± Evelyn barked at herself.

    Everyone snapped their heads to thedy that just stepped in, they awed at the goddess. She was putting on a mini red strapless gown that barely reached her thigh.

    Her feet was adorned with a pretty silver heels that sparkled whenever a ray of light falls on it.

    Her hair was let loose on her shoulders, she raised her hand to signal her guards from following her.

    Amelia smacked her red lipstick that gave her a sexy look, her hazel eyes that were covered with dark shades pierced through the crowd that were starting to form.

    She doesn¡¯t know why but whenever she goes out she draws every attention to herself.

    Evelyn paused her madness hearing the slightmotion outside her dressing room ¡°wow she is truly a goddess of beauty¡±.

    ¡°Evelyn doesn¡¯t stand a chance against her, poor thing must be crying her eyes out after she was rejected today¡±.

    Evelyn¡¯s eyes darkened hearing that from people who once used to admire her, She walked to her vanity table retouching her makeup after she made sure she was okay she left the dressing room.

    Her manager stared in shock.

    Evelyn came out from the dressing room, she was pushed out of the way by the guards that were escorting her. She couldn¡¯t even get a look at her face except her hair.

    Amelia was about to step into the room but stopped raising a brow at the guards ¡°do you n to follow me in here too? I told you earlier I love my privacy so I¡¯ll suggest you go back to your boss and tell him that I really don¡¯t need you¡± she said before entering the room.

    She looked around the room, this one was biggerpared to her other room. Ady rushed in panting slightly ¡°I¡¯m sorry I¡¯mte there was a traffic jam¡± she exined with her head bowed down.

    Amelia cleared her throat ¡°you don¡¯t have to worry I just came in¡± Amelia said going to the vanity table.

    Thedy¡¯s head turned to Amelia in wonder, with the car and guards she came with earlier Chelsea thought that she must be a spoilt heiress of some affluent family.

    She watched Amelia¡¯s back view, she really had a great figure. ¡°I¡¯m Chelsea your manager¡±.

    Amelia reapplied her lipstick before facing thedy behind her.T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°Amelia Hart¡± Amelia stated to see Chelsea in shock.

    ¡°Amelia Hart?¡± she called out confusedly, she was really pretty even more than that Evelyn that parades herself like a queen.

    ¡°I heard I¡¯ve been given a role can you brief me on it?¡± Amelia asked snapping Chelsea out of her daze.

    Chelsea nodded and pulled out a script from the drawer.

    The door opened as ady stepped in, Amelia and Chelsea turned to the door to see the intruder who just stepped in.

    Evelyn¡¯s eyes zed as she looked around the room, her dressing room was twice smallerpared to this. hatred was evident in her eyes. Amelia¡¯s hazel eyes met with Evelyn¡¯s ck ones that was ring at her.

    ¡®so what if she is pretty I¡¯m still the star actress! I won¡¯t let her have her way¡¯. she had done a lot before she could reach this far and she won¡¯t let a newbie take it away from her? no way! she has even gone as far as sleeping with some producers to get this role.

    ¡°I believe I can only have one manager not two ¡± Amelia remarked.

    ¡°who do you think you are?¡± Evelyn scornfully stated. Amelia took a step forward ¡°Amelia Hart¡± Amelia replied with her head held high.

    Evelyn¡¯s face darkened when she heard that name, how would she forget about her she stole a role from her twice when she was newly signed up with an entertainment industry two years ago.

    ¡°oh I¡¯ve heard about you! I¡¯ve heard a lot about your recent scandal that went viral on the inte, you cheap slut! having an affair with a mere driver? how shameless! what do you think? that you wille here and outshine me? in your dreams loser. Evelyn scorned.

    Chelsea blew out invisible sweat from her forehead, she knew this wouldn¡¯t end well between the two as the re was already getting intense.

    ¡°Amelia we still have to go to¡­.¡±. Amelia signaled for her to remain quiet ¡°I have to show this miss her way out¡±.

    Evelyn¡¯s face reddened hearing Amelia address her as ¡®miss¡¯ ¡°it¡¯s Evelyn Simpson¡±.

    Without hesitating Amelia pulled Evelyn out of the room with Chelsea running after her. ¡°Let go of me!¡± Evelyn screamed at Amelia.

    Evelyn examined her wrist it had turned red in color after Amelia released it from her grip.

    ¡°how dare you touch me? you have some guts and you know what? I was wondering how a newbie like you managed to get the lead role or did you perhaps shamelessly throw yourself at a producer to ept you?¡±.

    A deafening sound echoed, the people who witnessed it were shocked to the core and we¡¯re somewhat happy that someone was able to teach that Evelyn some manners.

    Evelyn turned her face furiously at Amelia, Amelia¡¯s guards stepped forward but she dismissed them.

    This was her problem so she would have to handle it herself.

 Chapter 25_ Meeting the Graysonâ€™s 3

    Evelyn¡¯s eyes zed, no one has ever treated her the way thisdy was doing. ¡°how dare you hit me slut?¡± Evelyn barked to receive another tight p from Amelia.

    ¡°people never learn their lessons with a p so I make sure to hit them for the second time, the next time you pull this stunt with me I¡¯ll tell you why my name is Amelia Hart!¡± Amelia wore back her shades and walked away with her guards tailing after her.

    Evelyn¡¯s manager rushed to her side ¡°let¡¯s get going your shoot starts in thirty minutes time¡± Stacy said pulling Evelyn out.

    Chelsea kept on stealing nces at Amelia ¡°what you did back there was epic, someone needed to teach that Evelyn a lesson she thinks she is superior to everyone¡± Chelsea grimaced.

    ¡°i hate lousy people like her, she is more like Liam so arrogant!¡± her phone vibrated in her purse, she brought it out to see the caller, her lips formed a mischievous smirk Chelsea was curious on why she smiled so she sneaked a peek ¡®Mr arrogant?¡¯ she mused softly.

    ¡°Chelsea go ahead I¡¯ll be with you shortly¡± she said watching Chelsea leave.

    ¡°Mr Arrogant did you miss me that much for you to call?¡± her grin widened.

    Liam massaged his head at the other end ¡°what did you just call me?¡±.

    Amelia tapped her chin as if in deep thought ¡°oh I remember, Mr Arrogant; now tell me why you called I have to meet the producers¡±.

    Liam sighed ¡°you had to create a scene today didn¡¯t you? what were you thinking? it was your first day today you¡¯ve barely spent an hour but you¡¯ve already gotten into a fight¡± Liam scolded.

    Amelia rolled her eyes at his scolding ¡°I¡¯m not surprised on how you found out since your nosy guards keep chasing after me all day, they are now much closer to me than my own husband¡± she narrowed her eyes at the guards.

    ¡°and I¡¯m sure they will tell you how many bathroom breaks I had today, so dear husband you know I don¡¯t look for trouble or else I¡¯ve been provoked she started it¡±.

    she turned to the guards ¡°didn¡¯t you tell him how thatdy barged into my dressing room and caused trouble! you were meant to guard my door but you allowed her in¡± she scolded.

    Liam creased his brows, his wife was such a drama queen.

    ¡°I heard you¡¯ll be having a shoot today, head back home once you are done¡± Liam ordered.

    ¡°hey wait a minute I¡¯ll be meeting my mum today after I¡¯m done with my shoot¡±.

    ¡°I hope you have a sleepover there¡± Liam said and hanged up the phone.

    ¡°hey Liam¡­ urgh! he hanged up does he mean I¡¯m a problem to him, I won¡¯t spare him today¡± she mumbled as she started walking.

    Amelia and Chelsea walked into the producer¡¯s office, the middle aged man with grey hair who was sitting behind the desk looked up to see who just stepped in.

    ¡°Hello I¡¯m Amelia smith¡± Amelia announced and sat down in front of him with one of her legs over the other.

    Mr Mark smiled at the beauty in front of him, Mr Grayson was right when he said he had the perfect person for the role and he wasn¡¯t wrong.

    ¡°Mr Mark¡± he happily stretched forth his hand which Amelia took without dying.

    Amelia turned to Chelsea who was standing behind her ¡°you are not my guard take your seat¡± Amelia said more like an order.T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.

    Chelsea let out a weirdugh as she took a seat beside Amelia.

    ¡°so Amelia I believe you¡¯ve been briefed about your role? if not I can exin¡± Mr Mark said to receive a nod from Amelia.

    He cleared his throat ¡°your character in the movie will be about a dominatingdy, and so far I¡¯ve heard only goodments about you from Mr Grayson he strictly told me that only you can have this role because it suites your character¡±

    ¡°he must be a big fan of your movies since it¡¯s very rare of him to check up on the entertainment industry he runs¡±

    No one saw the smirk that adorned her cherry lips, so Liam was passing a message to her indirectly.

    ¡°please go through the script we barely have thirty minutes, the shoot is about twenty five minutes long, since you are the female lead you are bound to have enemies in the movie¡±.

    Amelia raised a brow ¡°who could the enemy be?¡± Amelia asked her gut feeling already knew who it might be.

    ¡°Evelyn Simpson, she will be the enemy¡± Mr Mark responded.

    Amelia rested her back morefortably on the chair things were getting interesting.

    She collected the script going through it, she must confess Liam was right it looks like the movie was made about her.

    When she was done going through the script, they headed out for the set..

    ..

    .

    Louisa sighed as she looked at the closed door beside her, she needed to submit this file to him but she just couldn¡¯t bring herself to go in after what transpired earlier this morning.

    She summoned all the courage and opened the door stepping in, Dn¡¯s head snapped to the door, he had been watching her for a while now from the CCTV camera, he didn¡¯t believe that she woulde in.

    He closed theptop hurriedly e in I won¡¯t bite¡± he urged, Louisa took steps forward and handed the file to him.

    He flipped through the pages ¡°it is well organized¡±.

    She turned to leave but was stopped by Dn ¡°Lou about earlier I found out about the incident between you and Lancy you were not in the wrong and I misjudged you I¡¯m sorry¡±

    Louisa blinked, did he just apologize? wasn¡¯t he like the rest of his friends? spoilt brats.

    ¡°it¡¯s just your habit, jumping into conclusions without seeking further there are some things that sorry can¡¯t fix¡± Louisa reasoned.

    ¡°I ept your apology¡± she added leaving the office.

    ¡°Thisdy is weird if she was to ept the apology why lecture me?¡± Dn mumbled to himself.

    Liam came down from the helicopter closely escorted by his guards.

    He walked into the building which he justnded on that has an helipad above it.

    His grey eyes scanned the vicinity till he found who he was looking for. Nichs!

    Nichs eyes widened he hadn¡¯t done anything this time to receive such a visit.

    His hands clenched by his sides, so this was a wellid trap his brother set up for him and he stupidly fell for it. his mum was going to be mad for this silly mistake..

    ¡°you and your mother are heading to your doom!¡±

 Chapter 26_ Meeting the Graysonâ€™s 4

    Amelia went through her script for thest time before going on set, she was to meet the male lead today.

    A loud shriek from thedies filled the air as a tall young man stepped in.

    Amelia craned her neck to see who that could be, she was dressed in a blue ripped up jean with a pink crop top.

    Her feet was covered with a white sneakers, she tapped her legs impatiently as she waited for the male lead.

    She saw a tall guy emerge from the crowd that were holding him back, his ck eyes met with her¡¯s before he shed a smile at her.

    Amelia slightly turned to check if someone was behind her. He approached Amelia and extended his hand for a shake.

    ¡°Kelvin Smith¡± he mumbled for Amelia to take his hand. ¡°Amelia Hart¡±.

    ¡°it¡¯s a pleasure to meet you miss Hart¡± kelvin said stressing the ¡®miss¡¯ a bit.

    They heard a shriek from the crowd ¡°don¡¯t they look good together?¡±.

    Amelia blushed slightly, the male lead was so handsome and nice, kelvin was the male star of the entertainment industry.

    He had everything, the looks, the charm and the charisma.

    The director signalled for everyone to take their ce, Evelyn¡¯s nails dug into her skin as she heard what everyone around her were saying, they all think that the new actress looked good together with kelvin.

    Stacy stared worriedly at Evelyn she just hoped that Evelyn won¡¯t create any drama.

    ¡°and action!¡± the director screamed.

    Lisa(Amelia) was walking down the street looking at the scribbled words on a piece of paper she came to visit her aunt for the first time and seemed lost, the paper flew out of her hand it contained her aunt¡¯s home address.

    She gave it a chase until a car rolled over it, ¡°no no no!!¡± she screamed chasing after the car, the paper was stuck on one of the tires.

    Lisa screamed at the car to stop without wasting any much time she picked up a stone and aimed at the windshield, the car screeched as it came to a halt.

    The front door opened as the driver stepped out, he looked at the damage the girl had caused ¡°why did you do that?¡± the driver scolded.

    Lisa itched her head weirdly because of a stupid paper she broke someone¡¯s car.

    The driver went to the backseat to open the door, Lisa looked around curiously as she took a step forward to know who was in the car.

    A talk figure came out from the car, overshadowing her with his height she unknowingly took a step back.

    His lips formed a thin line as he stared at the girl in front of him who was ring back at him. Lisa blinked he was too good to be true. His harsh voice brought her out of her trance. ¡°foolish girl what were you thinking breaking the windshield!¡± the young man scolded her.

    ¡°look Mr I¡¯m sorry I broke your windshield I only wanted this!¡± she exined taking the paper out from the tire it was now stained with mud it was useless now.

    Lawrence was angry at the girl¡¯s stupid excuse ¡°hope you have enough cash to fix it¡±.

    Lisa¡¯s brows furrowed as she sized him with her eyes ¡°I already told you that I¡¯m sorry and besides why didn¡¯t you stop when I asked you to? I will only fix your car if you fix my piece of paper or else we are even!¡± Lisa turned around from him and left leaving Lawrence puzzled.

    ¡°and cut!¡± the director shouted again ¡°that was brilliant, excellent work guys¡± he added.

    Kelvin gave an high-five to Amelia as they both left for their dressing room ¡°that was great it felt natural¡± kelvinmented.

    Amelia smiled at his words ¡°you were also good too you reminded me of Mr Arrogant¡± Amelia chuckled.

    ¡°what?¡± kelvin asked confusedly.

    ¡°oh nevermind I¡¯ll see you tomorrow then bye¡± she said and left with Chelsea.

    Kelvin stared at her back for some seconds and turned toe face to face with Evelyn. ¡°hi¡± Evelyn greeted to receive a nod from him before he left.

    Amelia got dressed into her former clothes and headed out of the building, she felt her phone vibrate ¡°mum, I¡¯m done with my shoot where can we meet?¡±.

    Cecile sighed at the other end ¡°honey I can¡¯t make it today there was an emergency at the hospital I have to work extra hours see you some other time okay?

    ¡°yes mum take care¡± Amelia stared at the phone, ¡°where then can I spend the rest of the day?¡± she thought for a while before she got into the car.

    Liam came down from the helicopter heading into hispany¡¯s building, his brother and step mom were trying to y smart with him, he made sure to teach that step brother of his a big lesson.

    He was about to step into the elevator when he heard a little noiseing from his employees, he turned around walking towards them to know what was going on.

    He saw ady in shades walking towards his direction, she looked so hot in that red body hug gown.

    When she got nearer he immediately recognized thedy, she walked past him hitting his shoulder slightly with her¡¯s in the process.

    There was a loud gasp from his employees, shock were evident in their face who else was she here to see? and she just hit their boss.

    Liam wondered if she really didn¡¯t see him or she was just pretending.

    Amelia stepped into the elevator the doors were about to close when Liam entered pushing the buttons.

    He turned to Amelia cing one hand above her head ¡°what are you doing here? and why are you dressed like that?This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    Amelia rolled her eyes at his question ¡°listen Liam I can wear whatever I want and I came here to see my husband is anything wrong with that?¡± Amelia questioned back.

    Liam gave up there was no point talking to her now she always have an answer for everything.

    The elevator¡¯s door opened ¡°I know what you are thinking, I didn¡¯t want your employees to know about our rtionship that¡¯s why I passed you by don¡¯t feel bad about it¡±.

    Liam said nothing and walked into his office the whole floor belonged to him alone.

    Amelia was awestruck by the view in front of her, it was spacious and looked like his living room instead of an office.

    ¡°wow Liam sometimes you can sleep here and forget toe back home so I can have the whole room to myself¡± Amelia suggested.

    Liam took his seat behind the desk ¡°why are you here? I hate uninvited guests¡±.

    ¡°well I¡¯m not a guest I¡¯m your wife whether you ept it or not! anyway my shoot went well and I met kelvin today he is the male lead of the movie I was featured in¡±.

    ¡°he is really cool and good looking too¡± Amelia praised taking a seat on the furry white sofa. ¡°Liam I love this sofa it¡¯s sofortable can you get a pink design?¡±.

    Liam gritted his teeth in annoyance ¡°why do you talk so much?!¡± he barked at her.

    Amelia stood up ¡°hey Liam mind your tone don¡¯t yell at me!¡± she raised her voice a little.

 Chapter 27_ Meeting the Graysonâ€™s 5

    Liam stood up and walked towards her inrge strides, he grabbed her arm ¡°If you want to remain here then you have to be quiet or else the door is widely opened for you to leave understood?!¡± Liam coldly spoke pushing her back to sit on the sofa.

    Amelia stood up to retort back but was pushed back down ¡°don¡¯t try to act smart look around we are the only ones on this floor I canmit a murder here and no one will ever find out, if you don¡¯t want to be a victim of murder then I suggest you keep your mouth shut!¡±.

    Amelia let out heavy breathes as Liam walked away, ¡°you rascal do you think you can scare me? hmp! I am not scared of you one bit no matter how tough you seem to be!¡±.

    Liam got up from his seat again walking towards her ¡°let¡¯s see about that!¡± he pulled her by her wrist taking her into an empty room. it was made of ss this time.

    He pushed her in closing the ss doors ¡°Liam let me out! what¡¯s your obsession with empty rooms?¡± Amelia asked banging the door hard.

    Liam¡¯s face was void of any emotion, he picked a small mic ¡°you see this little ce you are in right now is actually soundproof so no matter how you scream or yell it won¡¯t help¡± Liam dropped the mic and left for his office.

    Amelia sat grumpily on the floor although it looked like a ss it was more like a concrete wall, ¡°why would he even need a ce like this? does he torture people here?¡±.

    She took in a deep breath ¡°Amelia you can do this it¡¯s just a matter of months after that I won¡¯t get to see him anymore and a whole fifty million will be there to support me¡±..

    ..

    ..

    Louisa checked the time it was already closing hours but she had to work extra hours since Dn gave her a workload to handle.

    After a few more minutes she stretched and stood up packing her things to leave, Dn also came out of his office at that moment ¡°you are still here? it¡¯s gettingte already¡±.

    Lou nodded at his words following him out of the building ¡°I can drop you off at your apartment¡± Dn offered which Louisa bluntly refused.

    ¡°no don¡¯t bother my boyfriend will be here any minute¡±.

    Dn forced a smile at her words and bade her goodbye, he walked towards his car and got in.

    He saw a car pull over beside his car, a young man came out from it.

    Louisa happily ran towards Jake throwing herself into his open arms, Jake slightly twirled her around before nting a kiss on her lips. ¡°how was your first day at work?¡± his hands slowly dropped holding her slender waist.

    ¡°it was a bit stressful but I¡¯m alright now I¡¯m famished let¡¯s go to a restaurant¡± Louisa suggested pulling Jake to the car.

    Dn witnessed everything for some reasons he felt ufortable watching her with another guy, he sighed and signalled his driver to move.

    Liam closed hisptop it was already past eight in the evening, he got up from his seat heading towards the soundproof room where he locked up Amelia.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    Liam opened the door, she was fast asleep he walked into the room made of ss and tapped her cheeks ¡°wake up it¡¯ste already¡± his brows collided as he received silence in return.

    He sighed and lifted her up, Amelia snuggled on his chest with a smile on her lips. ¡°so you were awake?¡± Liam mumbled walking out of the room.

    His guards saw him approaching with ady in his arms and hurriedly went to open the door.

    ¡°you are really a weird person Liam, your punishments are just too crazy to think about¡± Amelia mumbled with her eyes still closed.

    Liam ignored her words, her head slowly fell to his shoulder when the car started moving.

    Liam gently pushed her head to rest on the headrest but it fell right back on his shoulder again, he tried that for a few more times before Amelia held his arm resting her head on his shoulder again.

    ¡°shameless!¡± Liam angrily muttered. Amelia squeezed his arm ¡°I¡¯m not shameless you are my husband and I have every right to¡­¡­¡±.

    Liam was confused if she was asleep or not, he heard her soft breathing and concluded that she was asleep.

    The next morning Liam slowly removed the piece of clothing that just fell on his face, he opened his eyes to see a pink bra in his hands another piece of dress fell on him again.

    His brows furrowed as he turned to the closet, he came down from the bed walking to the closet ¡°what are you doing?¡± Amelia heard the voice behind and turned around. ¡°oh Liam you are awake?¡±.

    ¡°know where to keep all your creepy things¡± Liammented cing the pink bra around her neck.

    Amelia gasped ¡°Liam you shameless man don¡¯t pretend as if it¡¯s your first time holding a bra remember how you tore up the one I was putting on that unfortunate night?¡±.

    Liam reddened in embarrassment ¡°what are you up to? your things are everywhere!¡±.

    ¡°have you forgotten? you told me that you and I will be going to your ancestral home today and your grand dad called while you were asleep but don¡¯t worry I said exactly what you would have said to him¡±.

    Amelia replied taking out a pink box ¡°and you don¡¯t have to worry I packed yours earlier¡±. she added.

    Liam¡¯s eyes narrowed at her ¡°who asked you to do all of these? and what are you so happy about?¡±.

    ¡°well I¡¯m your wife and I should be happy because I¡¯ll be meeting the Grayson¡¯s for the first time!¡± she squealed in excitement.

    ¡°there is no need to be excited about meeting them because you are not allowed to speak or meet anyone of them they are dangerous and that¡¯s my order!¡± Liam stated and left for the bathroom.

    Amelia stuck out her tongue ¡°like I always listen to you!¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s lips carved a smile that seemed tost forever which annoyed Liam. ¡°how long will you keep on smiling like that?¡± Liam muttered irritably.

    Amelia rolled her eyes at his words e on you¡¯ve deprived me of talking to them don¡¯t try to deprive me of this smile¡±.

    Amelia was over joyous she was finally going to meet her husband¡¯s family, the Grayson¡¯s.

    At the Grayson¡¯s mansion

    Angie paced around her room in anger, that brat dared to touch her son again, Nichs held his mum¡¯s arm ¡°do you think he wille today? I overheard grandpa talking to ady today it seems Liam has a girlfriend¡±.

    Angie rolled her eyes at her son¡¯s stupidity ¡°honeye on! ady? I doubt it, even if I hate Liam to the core I know well what he is capable of doing¡±.

    Nichs was sure that he heard a female¡¯s voice or else his ears were deceiving him now after Liam beat him to a pulp yesterday.

    ¡°our n of getting his signatures on the documents might have failed but I still have onest move to y¡± Angie muttered.

    Nichs ears stood up ¡°and what is that?¡±

 Chapter 28_ Mr Arrogant is cute

    Amelia gasped when the car pulled into the Grayson¡¯srge gates, ¡°woah!¡± she eximed.

    Her heart drummed in anticipation as the car sped through the long pathways with tall trees by the side of the road.

    The white majestic building came in view, Amelia¡¯s eyes were about to pop, ¡°Liam if your family are so fancy then what happened to you?¡± She narrowed her eyes at him.

    Liam ignored her words, the car came to a halt a guard came forward to open the door for Liam to step out.

    The servants came forward to get their luggages, Liam walked a distance before he realized Amelia wasn¡¯t following him, he turned back walking towards the car.

    Amelia heard a slight knock by her side, she whined down the windshield to hear what Liam was talking about.

    ¡°what are you doing?¡± Liam asked in frustration, ¡°I¡¯m only rehearsing what you told me earlier¡± Amelia replied.

    Liam opened the car¡¯s door and pulled her out taking her into the building.

    Amelia frowned Liam wasn¡¯t letting her admire the beautiful interiors, he was just pulling her in till he got into the room.

    ¡°Liam that¡¯s no way to treat me¡± Amelia whined examining her wrist. ¡°look don¡¯t try to embarrass me here!¡±.

    Amelia rolled her eyes ¡®as if I¡¯m a child¡¯.

    There was a knock on the door, Liam went forward to open it.

    The butler bowed ¡°young master your grandfather has called you out for breakfast with the rest¡±.

    Liam mmed the door shut which left Amelia puzzled ¡°Liam that was¡­.¡±

    ¡°enough! don¡¯t you understand anything or are you empty headed? if you really want to have breakfast go and have it but don¡¯te haunting my dreams once you¡¯re dead!¡±.

    Amelia found his words strange, she gave up the thought of reasoning with him and looked around the room.

    Liam should take over from his family on color sense, ¡°Liam when will I meet everyone?¡±

    Liam sighed wondering what else to say to her, she was just unbelievable. ¡°I want to meet your mum first I¡¯m sure she is nothing like you¡± Amelia said but regretted it the next minute. Liam grabbed her chin pushing her backwards till her back hit the wall hard.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you know how to keep quiet?! If I hear any more word from you then get ready to face my wrath!¡±

    For the first time Amelia felt scared of his threat it was as if a whole new Liam was in front of her, a different wave of emotion passed through his grey orbs.

    Liam moved away from her running his hand through his hair. Amelia creased her brow as to why Liam was acting strangely.

    At the dining table Florence tapped her feet impatiently on the ground ¡°nick are you sure that Liam came here or you¡¯ve started seeing things¡± she whispered.

    ¡°mum a maid told me that Liam was here¡± Nichs whispered back.

    ¡°then where is he?¡± Florence mumbled loud enough for Nichs to hear. ¡°you know how egoistic he can be! he wants us to throw a grand party for him before hees down¡± Nichs said sarcastically.

    Mark watched the two intently, weren¡¯t they tired of plotting against Liam?.

    Old Grayson held his son¡¯s arm shaking his head slightly.

    ¡°Liam isn¡¯t here yet, I guess he doesn¡¯t want to have breakfast with us¡± Mark said letting out a small sigh. He heard Liam brought ady with him he was sure it was that samedy he met at Liam¡¯s house.

    He nced up one more time before digging into his meal.

    Amelia stared at Liam who was sitting still, she has never seen him this upset, she walked towards him sitting down in front of him.

    Liam faced the other way ¡°Liam did I say something that I shouldn¡¯t have said?¡± Amelia asked to receive silence in return.

    Liam let out a scoff has she ever cared about what she says to him?.

    Amelia stood up with her hands on her waist ¡°Liam I was only trying to be nice the least you could do is to reply¡± Amelia scolded and was about to walk away when she was pulled back causing her to sit on hisps.

    ¡°what are you made of? why don¡¯t you back down easily? I clearly asked you to keep quiet but you¡­¡±

    Amelia covered his mouth with her palm ¡°please don¡¯t lecture me¡±.

    Liam¡¯s grey orbs met with her hazel eyes, their gaze locked for a few seconds ¡°you know Mr Arrogant is cute whenever he is upset¡± Ameliamented.

    Liam¡¯s brows raised at her words, he watched her hand slowly moved to his dark hair pushing the loose strand of hair to ce.

    Amelia got up from hisps and sat on the bed since Liam has instructed her to stay within this four walls.

    ¡°Liam what transpired between you and your family? I also want to know¡±.

    Liam clenched his jaw she gave up the thoughts since he wasn¡¯t responding.

    ¡°we will only go down for lunch for now let them have their breakfast alone¡± Liam mumbled loud enough for her to hear.

    He knew exactly what was running through Angie and his step brother¡¯s minds..

    Amelia slowly opened her eyes she fell asleep while watching a movie, she looked around the room but Liam was nowhere to be seen.

    Her phone beeped by her side she picked it up it was a text from Liam. ¡°sleepyheade down for lunch¡±. Amelia read aloud.

    ¡°sleepyhead? that jerk!¡± She came down from the bed pulling out her pink box.

    ¡°I have to be my best if I want to impress them or else Liam would be so embarrassed it¡¯s not like I care though¡±.

    Angie was the first to leave for the table, her phone rang by her side picking it up she made sure no one was around ¡°yes dear? get here as soon as you can¡± she smiled in satisfaction.

    Liam walked into the dining room ignoring Angie¡¯s presencepletely. ¡°Don¡¯t you think that you are biting more than you can chew Liam? you tortured my dear son so much now wait and watch how I ruin your life in front of you¡±.

    Liam met her sharp hawk like eyes ¡°I hate foolish women and you are no exception what more can I expect from your stupid son?¡±

    ¡°Liam!¡± Nichs voice resounded in the room. he walked towards Liam inrge strides but stopped beside his mum.

    Liam raised a brow ¡°coward! still hiding under your mother¡¯s wings? when will you ever grow up to be a man?¡±.

    Nichs fumed in anger.

    Old Grayson stepped into the dining with mark ¡°what is going on here?¡±.

 Chapter 29_ Liam is mine alone 1

    Nichs faked a smile walking towards his grandfather, ¡°grandpa you have nothing to stress about, mother and I were just trying to strike a conversation with Liam but you know how he is¡±.

    Old Grayson looked between the mother and son he knew well enough what they were up to.

    Mark smiled holding Liam¡¯s shoulders ¡°son it¡¯s been so long you came by¡±.

    Liam shrugged off mark¡¯s hands resting on his shoulders, ¡°Mr Grayson don¡¯t you know how much I hate it whenever you touch me? don¡¯t try it ever again!¡± Liam coldly uttered.

    Mark forced an awkward smile taking his seat next to his father.

    Angie gritted her teeth, ¡®this brute doesn¡¯t know his ce in this family if only mark had gotten rid of him earlier i wouldn¡¯t have been getting my hands dirty¡±.

    Liam checked his wrist watch it¡¯s been a while since he sent that text to her or was she still sleeping? he sighed. it would be better if she stayed back in the room actually.

    Or else she would create a scene down here, he knew well that the instructions he gave were just wasted words, she would do the exact opposite. Crazy girl.

    Nichs and his mum sat opposite Liam, Angie¡¯s phone vibrated, she read the text she just received with a grin.

    ¡®this is just going to be fun¡¯.

    Soon after soft clicks on the marbled floor were heard.

    Liam let out a soft breath ¡®was it really necessary to wear heels? we are just having lunch down here¡¯ he mentally screamed.

    The clicks got closer till ady came in view everyone froze in their ce especially Liam, he couldn¡¯t believe his eyes.

    Angie smiled in satisfaction seeing the look that crossed Liam¡¯s face.

    Her ck orbs rested calmly on Liam, she was putting on a blue body hug gown with ck heels.

    ¡°hello everyone¡± she greeted maintaining eye contact with Liam.

    Nichs was awed by the sight his mum was a genius. Old Grayson¡¯s heart skipped a beat.

    Florence knew the silence was going tost forever if she didn¡¯t chirp in ¡°wow Allison is that really you?¡± Florence pretended to be surprised.

    Allison grinned walking towards Liam, she drew out a seat next to him and sat down ¡°of course aunt, I had toe here when I found out that Liam was here¡± Allisonmented reaching her hand to touch Liam¡¯s fisted palm on the table.

    As if stung by a insect he retracted his hand, he knew Angie and her son were up to something but who knew that it would be to this extent.

    Mark knew this was his wife¡¯s doing ¡°Allison I thought you wouldn¡¯t be back until you graduated from college¡±.

    Allison picked up her cutlery seeing as the cooks were already filling the table ¡°well uncle you see¡­ I had toe earlier than expected because Liam and I have a long way to go, if you understand what I mean¡±.

    She picked up a piece of steak with her fork.

    Mark turned to his father, ¡°Allison where are your parents?¡±.

    Old Grayson asked, this setup wasn¡¯t good and who informed Allison about Liam¡¯s arrival? his eyes darted to the mother and son smiling at each other.

    He wondered what their motive this time could be. Liam¡¯s veins almost popped out.

    Allison ced her hand on hisp ¡°Liam aren¡¯t you happy to see me?¡±.

    Liam held her hand beneath the table giving it a tight squeeze ¡°why wouldn¡¯t I be?¡± Liam mumbled through gritted teeth.

    Allison tried to force a smile but deep down she wanted to scream out, she felt his grip tightened luckily for her another clicking footsteps was heard.

    Angie and the rest creased their brows on who that could be. only Liam knew that it was his drama queen wife that wasing.

    Allison raised a brow as thedy stepped into the dining room, Nichs heart skipped a beat she was thedy he has been looking for.

    And here she was in front of him, Amelia could see the shocked looks on their faces ¡°like seriously Liam didn¡¯t you prep them about me? my entrance has been wasted now, all thanks to you¡±.

    She mumbled irritably, old Grayson let out a smirk seeing the look of embarrassment that crossed past Liam¡¯s face.

    Allison was perplexed on who she was and why on earth was she addressing him so casually.

    Angie got up immediately facing the strangedy ¡°who are you? and what are you doing here?¡±

    Amelia¡¯s face wrinkled, she was wrong he has the same nature as his mum.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

    Mark smiled at Amelia ¡°deare and seat you don¡¯t need to give any one an introduction¡±.

    Amelia was moved by his kindness, she pulled out a chair sitting at the other side of Liam.

    Her mouth watered by the sight of such delicacies in front of her, picking up her cutlery she dug into the food as if she had been starved for days.

    Liam¡¯s face reddened by the sight, he knew thisdy was too stubborn to do as he said she would end up killing him from embarrassment.

    Amelia raised her head up feeling the gaze opposite the table, she met with the pair of grey orbs staring intently at her.

    He looked a bit like Liam but of course her husband was more handsome and matured ¡°hello I guess you must be Liam¡¯s brother, he never talks about you¡±. Nichs smiled and nodded at her ¡°yeah you are right¡±.

    Amelia had a feeling that she had seen him somewhere but where exactly? or was it because he looked like Liam?

    She brushed off the thoughts, she noticed one thing about the male¡¯s of the family, they all had grey eyes but Liam¡¯s eyes were a bit different from theirs maybe because it held too much mystery.

    Liam leaned a bit whispering into her ears ¡°stop embarrassing me!¡± he scolded.

    Allison flew up immediately dropping her cutlery in the process ¡°alright that¡¯s it! will you all just sit here and pretend as if a stranger didn¡¯t just walk in here?¡±

    They were startled by her outburst, Amelia tapped her head slightly standing up she walked towards Allison.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t see you there but I¡¯m not a stranger¡±.

    Allison felt threatened by the sarcasm evident in Amelia¡¯s voice.

    The rest were piqued by the live drama going on in front of them. ¡°I¡¯m Amelia, Amelia Grayson¡± Amelia replied stretching her hands forward for a handshake.

    Everyone dropped their cutleries as Amelia spoke. Allison narrowed her eyes ¡°Grayson? are you a long distant family member? I haven¡¯t heard of you before!¡±.

    ¡°No I¡¯m Liam¡¯s wife!¡±.

 Chapter 29_ Liam is mine alone 2

    Silence engulfed the dining area as they stared at each other in shock, Nichs was the first toe out of it.

    ¡°what?! Liam what is she saying? you got married to her?¡±.

    Liam shot him a nce that was enough to keep him quiet. Mark faced his father who had a small grin on his lips.

    Allisonughed out loud as if Amelia just dropped a joke ¡°what do you mean by that? everyone here knows that I¡¯m Liam¡¯s future wife¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s curved upwards ¡®well that was new Liam never told me¡¯.

    Angie stood up walking to Amelia, she held Amelia¡¯s wrist almost crushing it with her tight grip.

    ¡°mum!¡± Nichs tried to butt in but was shunned back ¡°save it son! some girls are just so shameless that they lie so boldly through their teeth¡±.

    Amelia frowned the grip was getting tight, she didn¡¯t want to disrespect Liam¡¯s mum but she was asking for it. ¡°ask your son he is right here!¡± Amelia raised her voice a little she doubts if she could tolerate Angie again.

    Angie spat in disgust as her sharp eyesnded on Liam ¡°why would you think that he is my son? I share no rtion with this brat!¡±.

    ¡°Angie!¡± mark yelled banging the table.

    Amelia swallowed hard looking at Liam for help, ¡°why are you quiet now say something and why is your mum denying you? I thought you were the weird one but clearly it runs in the family¡± Amelia blurted out.

    She bit her tongue itching her head weirdly ¡°I¡¯ll pass this time, she isn¡¯t my mum why don¡¯t you do what you do best¡±.

    Amelia squinted her eyes does this mean that thisdy squeezing her wrist wasn¡¯t Liam¡¯s mum? ¡°Tell me did he hire you toe here and pretend to us all? he knows well enough that he has been betrothed at birth to Allison¡±.

    Things were getting more difficult for Amelia to take in Liam didn¡¯t brief her about his family drama but he did warn her to stay away from them.

    Liam didn¡¯t want to get involved he wanted Amelia to sought things out this time, she always have a way out of all her problems.

    ¡°So? he is all grown up now to make decisions for himself and that¡¯s why he got married to me!¡± Amelia replied pulling out her wrist forcefully from Angie¡¯s grip.

    Allison held Angie from falling due to the impact of Amelia¡¯s sudden pull.

    Angie¡¯s eyes zed in anger ¡°how dare you?¡±. Angie screamed.

    Amelia ignored her and walked over to Liam ¡°Liam let¡¯s go¡± she took his hand in hers leaving the dining.

    Angie felt threatened by the smirk on Liam¡¯s face, she knew that something big wasing for her.

    Liam ced his hand in his pocket staring at Amelia ¡°What? don¡¯t stare at me that way, you saw how she was ogling at you and as a wife my duty is to support my husband even though he is so arrogant¡±.

    Liam took in a deep breath walking away, he might run mad if he argued with her.

    Amelia made a face at his back, ¡°just how much more will he keep hiding from me?¡±.

    Angie rushed into Nichs room a vase flew right in her direction grazing her arm ¡°honey!¡± she held Nichs from destroying his room further. ¡°get hold of yourself son!¡±.

    Nichs heaved a breathe pulling his hair tightly ¡°seriously mum? why? why should I have to fight Liam for everything that I want? Why do we share the same interest in everything¡±.

    ¡°Nick? do you know thatdy?¡± Angie asked.

    ¡°of course mum! she is thedy I¡¯ve been searching for all these days! do I really have to fight with him over a woman now? mum Liam has gone too far this time¡±.

    Nichs went out of the room in anger ¡°Nichs!¡± she called after.

    ¡°oh goodness what a cramped situation!¡±..

    ..

    ..

    Amelia followed the path Liam went through, she came out of the building to see him sitting beside the swimming pool.

    She walked to his side taking a seat beside him, she watched his side profile for a while, his hair was swaying due to the wind.

    She looked ahead ¡°you could have prepped me about your family and your issues with them¡± Amelia said looking at Liam.

    Liam remained quiet, she reached out her hand and held his arm that was resting on the wooden chair. Liam tried to retract his arm ¡°let¡¯s not start this now¡± Amelia reasoned.

    Liam gave up the idea and rxed ¡°I know we are not an ideal couple but there are some certain things you have to tell me¡±.

    Liam stood up abruptly walking along the edge of the big pool. ¡°why are you suddenly interested in knowing about me?¡±.

    ¡°don¡¯t you know? thatdy in there was saying bad things about you!¡±.

    Amelia walked to him and pulled him forward ¡°stop hiding things from me¡±.

    ¡°Will you just stop bugging me? don¡¯t you get it? we don¡¯t share any rtionship for me to tell you my family affairs!¡±.

    Amelia felt taken aback by his harsh words, was that really the case?

    She moved back from him heading into the building and at the same time Nichs who was on his way to meet his brother bumped into Amelia that was hurriedlying his way.T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.

    Nichs wrapped his arm around her waist to stop her from falling. ¡°be careful you might fall¡±

    Nichs anger died down immediately he held her.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry¡± Amelia apologized before entering the building.

    Liam¡¯s knuckles tightened as he watched his brother and Amelia. Nichs walked towards Liam to receive a punch from him.

    Nichs touched his nose that was starting to bleed, his eyes darkened as he attacked Liam but was thrown to the ground.

    Nichs got up from the ground ¡°was it that upsetting? I felt worse when I found out that you were already married to her why do you keep fighting with me for everything?¡±.

    ¡°you are aplete fool, if you really liked her you wouldn¡¯t have sent her to my bed that night the deed is done now she is my wife and there¡¯s nothing you can do to change that¡±.

    Nichs jaw clenched at Liam¡¯s words, of course he knew he was wrong he shouldn¡¯t have let thedy he liked go to his biggestpetitor he was so blinded by greed to see that.

    ¡°you just wait and see Liam! just the way she leaned on me I will make sure to have her by all means maybe it can begin with a stand just like you did to have her!¡±.

 Chapter 30_ Liam is mine alone 3

    Nichs staggered into the room where the blood dripping from the corner of his lips and nose, Angie gasped seeing her son in that state she rushed to his side examining his injury.

    ¡°honey are you alright?¡±.

    ¡°how can I be alright in this state mum?¡± Nichs replied in irritation.

    Angie helped him to seat on his bed ¡°you fought with Liam and he thrashed you like a loser¡± Angie sarcastically said pressing her napkin on his bleeding nose.

    ¡°mum! you are also a loser remember how you were confident about your ns on bringing Allison here! everything is going wrong for us don¡¯t you see?¡±.

    Angie sighed ¡°I never expected that Liam would bring ady home and his wife at that!¡±.

    Nichs stood up walking towards the window ¡°mum you¡¯ve made useless ns that doesn¡¯t seem to work I have onest card to y against Liam¡±.

    ¡°what is that?¡±. Angie curiously asked.

    ¡°Amelia!¡±.

    Angie¡¯s eyes almost popped out of its sockets ¡°have you lost it? you want to go after his wife? he will murder you!¡±.

    ¡°oh mum! please stop, this is the only way out Liam made me go through hell in all of these years but now I finally have the perfect tool to get back at him¡±.

    Angie rolled her eyes at his foolishness she believed that Allison was still useful to her.

    ¡°mum please get me an icepack¡±.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

    Angie nodded and left the room.

    Amelia was heading towards her room when she met Allison.

    ¡°Excuse me miss!¡± Allison said spitefully holding Amelia back from leaving.

    Amelia harshly pulled her hand out of Allison¡¯s grip. ¡°Amelia Grayson!¡± Amelia corrected.

    Her gut feeling was telling her that Allison was the reason Liam got married to her in the first ce.

    ¡°stop saying that!¡± Allison barked.

    Amelia folded her hands ¡°why? should I go by yourst name instead?e on now I¡¯m married to Liam so it¡¯s normal if i bear hisst name¡±.

    Allison grimaced in anger her face turned red ¡°Liam can never be yours¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s lips quirked upwards in mockery ¡°But Liam is mine alone since I¡¯m married to him and I don¡¯t appreciate it when otherdies ogle at him especially cheap ones like you¡±.

    Allison raised her hand to hit Amelia but her hands were caught in mid air just in time by Amelia.

    Allison¡¯s hand raised to her cheek after Amelia pt her hard ¡°Don¡¯t make me more angry than I already am or else you¡¯ll regret it¡±.

    Liam raised a brow watching the show in front of him, he watched Allison stomp away in anger.

    ¡°Some people never learn¡± she mumbled still unaware of Liam¡¯s presence behind her.

    She took a step forward to leave but felt herself pulled back till she felt the wall behind her, Liam ced one of his arm on the wall above her head.

    Amelia faced the other way avoiding his eyes ¡°You shouldn¡¯t attach yourself too much on matters concerning me you¡¯ll only get hurt at the end¡±.

    Amelia pushed him back ¡°listen you fool I did that to save your face from embarrassment don¡¯t think I¡¯m into you¡±

    Liam ced his palm over her mouth ¡°you speak too much save the energy for your shoot¡±.

    Amelia peeked the tip of her tongue on his palm before taking it off ¡°You know Liam sometimes I wonder if you are injured right here¡± she pointed to her head.

    ¡°You are crazy, I¡¯m having a shoot tomorrow so I¡¯ll go practice and you know? Kelvin¡¯s role speaks a lot about your personality, Arrogant and grumpy so I think I need you for my rehearsal¡±.

    Liam¡¯s face scrunched as he was led into the room by Amelia.

    .

    .

    .

    Liam¡¯s eyes snapped open he turned to his side on the bed when he heard soft snoresing from her.

    He remembered the crazy things he did to help her rehearse she made him take the role of kelvin while rehearsing.

    The corner of his lips raised a bit, her hair was sprawled all over the pillow some falling on her face. His curious hands moved to her face pushing the strands of hair behind her ears.

    Out of reflex Amelia caught his hand, she opened her eyes with suspicion.

    ¡°Mr Arrogant were you trying to strangle me in my sleep? I know you hate me but why killing me? we both made an agreement that we¡¯ll go or separate ways after a year¡­..¡±

    Liam wanted to yell but he didn¡¯t find his voice, ¡°are you going nuts now? you don¡¯t worth dying by my hands¡±

    Amelia gasped when he was about to get up she jumped on his back.

    Liam was speechless, it seems everyday all she does is think of a new way to torture him ¡°what are you doing now? get off me¡±.

    Liam said trying to get her off him, ¡°apologize to me or else I won¡¯t move an inch¡±.

    Their was a knock on the door Liam walked to it with Amelia glued to him like a leech, her legs were wrapped around him below the belt! he was sure that she was doing it on purpose.

    Liam opened the door while Amelia bit his ear, Nichs frowned at the sight in front of him he thought his elder brother was such a loafer when ites to love and romance.

    ¡°Grandpa wants you in the study now¡±.

    Amelia raised her head to face Nichs ¡°Hi Nick¡± she waved and smiled.

    Liam shut the door with a bang he walked over to the bed and carefully dropped Amelia.

    ¡°That was your brother Liam I can see sincerity in his eyes.¡±

    ¡°Then you must be blind¡±.

    Amelia got up from the bed and stood in front of him ¡°you are so pathetic and lonely the least you could do is to be humble before me I¡¯m the only one in your life right now¡±

    ¡°A few weeks ago you weren¡¯t with me and I lived till I met you, I died the instance you came around¡±.

    ¡°what are you sucking about? Liam maybe it¡¯s time you live for something¡±.

    Liam walked towards her while she moved backwards ¡°so since you are the only one in my life should I live for you?¡±.

 Chapter 31_ One thing in common

    Amelia took a deep breathe and ced her palm on his chest to stop him froming further. ¡°I suggest you live for thedy who wille into your life after I¡¯m gone¡±.

    Liam¡¯s lips twitched a bit, his eyes met hers trying to read them.

    Amelia let out a sigh of relief when he left the room sometimes whenever he stares at her that way she feels funny from her insides.

    ¡°even if he doesn¡¯t express his feelings I know how lonely he is¡±.

    Liam stepped into the meeting chamber, this was where their family discussions were held whenever every members of the Grayson¡¯s gather.

    When he stepped in he drew attention to himself as everyone raised their heads to him.

    Old Grayson sneered at him, Liam ignored his grandfather and sat down on his assigned seat. He prayed silently for the meeting to be over because whenever all the Grayson¡¯s meet under one roof it¡¯s always chaos.

    ¡°now that Liam is here we should hear his side of the story¡± old Grayson said.

    Liam arched a brow when he heard his name, Nichs turned to his mum for help his grandfather will definitely side with Liam. Angie shook her head slightly there was nothing she could do now.

    ¡°Liam your brother was found unconscious in the study room right after you left the house¡±.

    Liam stared at old Grayson he was sure that his grandfather knew everything. ¡°Father you know that he will only me my son why don¡¯t you just give him the punishment he deserves?¡± Angie flew up.

    Old Grayson¡¯s eyes were enough to shut her up, Angie nervously sat down if Nichs is found guilty he would be punished severely.

    ¡°i was drugged by your son and you are trying to cover it up? how many more lives will you ruin old witch?¡±

    Angie sharply turned to Liam ¡°keep quiet! it seems your mum didn¡¯t teach you how to respect your elders¡±.

    ¡°Angie! I have told you countless times not to drag Brianna into any of your mess¡± mark scolded.

    ¡°don¡¯t you dare call my mother¡¯s name with your filthy mouth! don¡¯t pretend to care now you lost the right to I and my mum years ago after you abandoned us for this crazydy and her son¡±.

    Liam rose up to his feet, this was one of the reasons he hates attending these meetings they always look for a way to piss him off.

    Mark looked stared down at his feet, how could he exin this to his son?.

    ¡°that was the best decision my brother ever made by leaving you and your pathetic mother I¡¯m sure that wherever she is now she must be having a good time with other men just like she always wanted¡± Martha, mark¡¯s sister scorned.

    Liam¡¯s face darkened he gripped his chair hard resisting the urge to act irrational.

    ¡°if you had a little kindness in you, you might be married with kids by now think about your worthless life before pointing a finger at my mother, her only mistake was falling in love with your spineless brother!¡±.

    ¡°Enough Liam!¡± old Grayson roared.

    ¡°you are equally at fault don¡¯t raise your voice at me talk to your family instead and tell each and everyone of them never to get involved in my matters again¡± Liam yelled back at his grandfather.

    ¡°Liam you¡¯ve just proven to be the beast we know you as, don¡¯t you think you are going too far? you¡­..¡±

    Liam sent a punch to Nichs face that made fall from his seat. ¡°honey!¡± Angie rushed to her son on seeing the blood oozing out from the corner of his mouth.

    In just one week her son has lost a lot of blood because of Liam¡¯s beatings now she has had enough.

    Allison rolled her eyes at the family drama she was witnessing right now, she really didn¡¯t care if they burn the house down all she wanted to hear in this bloody meeting was her alliance with Liam.

    Angie moved quickly to Liam raising her hand to hit him her hand froze on mid air as she felt someone holding it.

    Her eyes turned to the person who dared interfere, she met with a pair of hazel orbs with a cold gleam in them.

    ¡°how dare you¡­¡±This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°don¡¯t you dare raise your hands to my husband!¡±

    Amelia spoke with such ferocity, she added a bit more pressure to Angie¡¯s hand.

    Allison sat upright, this was an unexpected turn of events, who even let her in?

    ¡°this is the gathering of the Grayson¡¯s who asked you to interfere in our matters and who the heck are you?¡± Martha spat irritably.

    Amelia let go of Angie¡¯s hand, ¡°aunt just let it be! some people just don¡¯t know their ce so what can we do about that? interfering in family matters that has nothing to do with her¡± Allison added.

    ¡°I have every right to get involved since I¡¯m a Grayson whether you believe it or not I am Liam¡¯s wife you are the imposter in here, you have no rtion with this family or perhaps you n on taking Liam as your brother!¡±

    She turned to Angie ¡°and you! what were you trying to do? I don¡¯t me Liam for being cruel to you, you deserve it!¡±.

    Liam was moved for the first time someone stood up for him ever since he was a child he stood all alone during difficult times.

    Old Grayson mmed his staff on the table to shut Amelia up ¡°that¡¯s enough child¡±.

    ¡°enough? you sat down there watching how they insulted Liam and¡­

    Liam¡¯s big palm covered her mouth from spurting words ¡°shh now keep quiet¡± he whispered softly into her ears.

    She tried to resist but was quickly led out of the chambers before she says anything else. he knew there would be drama but he didn¡¯t expect the drama queen to arrive.

    Liam closed the door behind him resting on it ¡°what? stop staring! I was only passing by when I overheard your conversation with them I wasn¡¯t eavesdropping¡± Amelia rified with her fingers crossed.

    ¡°did I ask for an exnation?¡± Liam pulled off his coat and threw it on the bed.

    ¡°why did you say all that? I haven¡¯te across such a bluntdy other than you before¡± he added.

    ¡°I said that because we have one thing inmon¡±.

    Liam¡¯s brow arched ¡°and what is that?¡± he asked suddenly interested.

 Chapter 32_ Abandoned

    Liam stared curiously at Amelia he wanted to know what Amelia had inmon with him since they never agree with each other¡¯s words.

    ¡°My dad also left my mum years back and that was the most chaotic years of my life¡±. Amelia stared down at her feet, it was true that her parents separated years ago but she was deprived of their love.

    Liam wasn¡¯t so surprised about it, he had read her profile earlier so he practically knew everything about her and her family. ¡°Lucky you¡± Liam muttered and opened the wardrobe.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes narrowed at his back ¡°What? it¡¯s not as if your dad abandoned your mum and ran off with another woman¡±.

    She nonchntlymented and failed to see how Liam stiffened a bit by her words.

    Liam turned to her ¡°Can you exin to me why none of my clothes are in here?¡±

    ¡°I packed all your clothes¡± she walked to the wardrobe slightly pushing Liam aside ¡°do you now need sses? all these are your clothes¡±.

    She took out a navy blue t-shirt wrapping it around his neck ¡°what were you expecting when I packed your things? I love colors Liam and when I was packing your clothes I felt lifeless¡±.

    Liam fumed in anger grabbing her shoulders ¡°did I ask you for a change?¡±.

    ¡°as your wife I¡¯m supposed to do that! do you realize how boring you are? you are too formal and serious with your life¡± Amelia reasoned Liam was too boring for her likeness.

    Liam took a deep breath releasing her shoulder he turned around and walked into the bathroom for a quick shower.

    The sounds of music rocked the whole clubhouse, strong scents of alcohol mixed with cigarette lingered in the air.

    At a table by the corner of the clubhouse Dn kept on taking shots upon shots of alcohol. ¡°what do you think is wrong with him?¡± Steven whispered softly to James who had a teasing smile.

    ¡°he is mad because the girl he likes doesn¡¯t even spare him a nce¡± Jamesughed further.

    Dn narrowed his eyes at them, he harshly ced the tiny ss cup on the table.

    ¡°will you both keep quiet? I¡¯m trying to sought things out!¡± Dn scolded.

    ¡°what? are you looking for a new strategy to get closer to her? why don¡¯t you just tell her about everything¡±.

    Dn gritted his teeth in anger he just didn¡¯t know what he was feeling, whenever he remembers that night he witnessed Louisa and her boyfriend being affectionate he gets angry.

    ¡°what¡¯s the use? have you forgotten our code? we only y but never fall in love, she has a boyfriend and I despise him to the core!¡± Dn angrily spoke.

    ¡°his condition is bad James do you think that he really fell for thatdy?¡± Steven whispered.

    Jamesughed out loud ¡°have you lost your mind just like him? you know well enough how he changes Ladies every now and then! do you think that he can have such feelings for ady he just met?¡±

    Dn ignored their bantering as he stared to one direction.

    Louisa and her boyfriend were seating at the other end, they were chatting away happily.

    He shook his head slightly picking up his beer. ¡°poor Dn haven¡¯t he suffered enough? of all clubhouse house to party at why did they choose this one?¡± Jamesmented staring at Dn¡¯s line of sight.

    Jake pushed the loose strands of hair falling on Louisa¡¯s face behind her ears ¡°why are you turning red? do you have a fever?¡± Jake touched her forehead but found it normal.

    ¡°I¡¯m just feeling a bit weird normally I¡¯m the one to take other people¡¯s order but today I¡¯m sitting¡­. you know what I mean!¡±.

    ¡°I¡¯ll get us a drink¡± he whispered before leaving her side.

    James nudged Dn ¡°dude she is alone now go and talk to her and I will keep her boyfriend busy¡±.

    ¡°and I will stay here cheering you two¡± Steven sarcasticallymented.

    James left the table and Dn followed suit, he was quite drunk already as he approached her table he staggered a bit.

    Louisa was startled when someone dropped beside her with his head on the table.

    She tapped his chin but he wasn¡¯t responding, she couldn¡¯t see who he was because of the disco bulbs present in the clubhouse.

    ¡°Lou¡­.¡±

    She heard him mumble ¡°Dn? why are you in this state?¡± she raised his head gently.

    Louisa looked around Jake was nowhere in sight ¡°Of all tables to crash on why mine?¡± She mumbled irritably.

    Jake smiled at the waiter before turning away, his movement was restricted when James appeared in front of him all of a sudden ¡°Hey there fe¡± James smiled at him.

    Jake dropped the two ss of wine with him on a table and shook hands with James ¡°I have always wanted to talk to you about your partnership with mypany¡±.

    Jakes eyes widened as James led him to a table far away from Louisa and Dn.

    Louisa nced one more time at Dn he was sitting with his head raised backwards ¡°why did you drink so much? and where are your drinking buddies? answer me you jerk!¡±

    Dn faced her with a straight face ¡°you speak to him lovingly but when you are with me you speak harshly with me!¡­..¡±

    Amelia smiled at the sight before her, Mr Arrogant was actually wearing a different color apart from ck and white.

    Liam felt like disappearing into thin air, never in his wildest dream did he think that he would be putting on a Pyjamas like this.

    ¡°wow Liam you look adorable wearing that¡±.

 Chapter 33_ Stary night

    Amelia approached Liam adjusting the neckline of the pyjamas ¡°Sometimes add a little color to your life it suits you better¡±.

    Invisible smoke wereing out of Liam¡¯s ear, he hated what he was putting on. He ignored herpliments heading to the bed.

    Amelia tailed after him ¡°Iplimented your outfit but you didn¡¯t respond back!¡±.

    Liam pulled the duvet over his bodyying down on the huge bed he closed his eyes turning his back against her.

    In the next second the duvet slipped away from his body, he sat up turning to his side.

    Amelia wrapped the duvet around herself backing him.

    ¡°You know sometimes I wonder how your ex tolerated your weird behavior¡±. Liam said for Amelia to sit up sharply.

    ¡°excuse me?!¡±.

    ¡°I don¡¯t repeat myself twice!¡± Liam replied.

    He pulled the other end of the duvet however, Amelia refused to let it go. ¡°take that bad or you¡¯ll regret it!¡±.

    ¡°You¡¯ve had your way all day so don¡¯t invite trouble for yourself wild cat¡±.

    Amelia gasped ¡°wild cat?¡± she threw herself at him which made her end up straddling him. she held his face in her palms staring at him intently. ¡°I dare you to say that again¡±.

    Liam was startled by her sudden movement, he frowned on seeing her smile, that smile that meant danger.

    ¡°what are you doing?¡±.

    ¡°don¡¯t you know? just imagine we are under the Stary night lost in each other¡¯s eyes¡­.¡±

    Liam blinked confusedly at her ¡°and then boom I threw you off the roof for being a jerk!¡±.

    Amelia rolled her eyes at his statue like face ¡°what were you thinking Mr Arrogant? that I was lost in your eyes? oh please those eyes are void and full of emptiness what can I possibly find in there?¡±.

    Liam held the back of her neck causing her to flinch a bit, ¡°you like ying smart don¡¯t you?¡±.T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°oh no I¡¯m so scared of you¡­..¡±.

    Liam suddenly mmed his lips against hers he felt her body go limp by his sudden attack. Amelia tried to pull out from his strong grip.

    She then realized that her strength was no match to his, she gave up the struggle to free herself.

    Liam pulled back from her ¡°the next time you pull such stunt again I promise to cross every boundaries!¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s lips formed a smirk, Liam was openly challenging her she loves winning and she wasn¡¯t ready to let him win now.

    Just when he thought it was over Amelia pulled him to herself iming his lips.

    Liam was taken back he didn¡¯t expect the sudden counter back from her.

    She sucked on his upper and lower lips simultaneously.

    Amelia didn¡¯t want to back down just yet she wanted to teach her husband a lesson in return also.

    Her tongue slipped into his mouth teasing him further, Liam¡¯s hand went to the back of her head, he deepened the kiss.

    Their tongues were intertwined fighting for dominance, their childish y went further into a heated and passionate moment.

    Liam¡¯s hand slowly crawled up into her dress cupping one of her perky mounds, he gave it a little squeeze causing a moan to escape her lips which gave Liam a chance to probe further.

    Both of them were equally lost in the moment, Liam suddenly pinned Amelia on the bed hovering around her.

    A part of him was already getting harder by the moment, he pulled away from the kiss and sat on the bed.

    ¡°Let¡¯s not do something that we might regret tomorrow¡± Liam mumbled to her heading to the bathroom again.

    He really needed a cold shower now, Amelia could hear the faint sounds of water. She grabbed a pillow by her side screaming into it. ¡°Amelia you fool! what were you trying to do just now?¡± she scolded herself.

    Liam returned to the room after spending almost thirty minutes taking a cold shower quenching the fire she lit in his body.

    She was fast asleep, he sighedying at the other end of the bed.

    Liam stared into darkness for a while, the phone on the drawer rang beside him, he picked it up.

    Seeing who the caller was he excused himself from the room.

    His face darkened ¡°I¡¯m on my way¡±.

    Amelia sat up on the bed after Liam left the room hurriedly ¡°where on earth is he going? it¡¯ste already¡±..

    ..

    Liam arrived at his house after a thirty minutes drive from his ancestral home. His guards were all lined up in front of the building.

    They bowed in unison when he stood in front of them, his grey orbs pierced through the surroundings. ¡°where are they?¡±.

    Amelia woke up to an empty bed the next morning, ¡°he didn¡¯t return homest night¡± she mumbled heading to the bathroom.

    She had a shoot today and she has to be on set by ten o¡¯clock and this was just quarter past nine.

    She freshened up quickly ransacking the wardrobe for what to wear. Her eyes caught a royal blue mini skirt.

    ¡°Hmm how about I wear you instead!¡­.¡± she paused a bit staring at the empty room, ¡°I knew something was missing, had he been here I would have received an ear full so early in the morning¡±.

    She dorned on the mini skirt with a crop top and a white sneakers to match.

    Her phone vibrated on the bed it was the producer, Amelia ignored the call and applied light makeup to her face.

    Her phone vibrated again taking that as a cue of herteness to work she dashed out of the room bumping her head into someone¡¯s chest.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry¡± she apologized hurrying off.

    Nichs stared at her back and smiled to himself ¡°you just made my day¡± he whispered.

    .

    .

    .

    Evelyn smiled meaningfully, the producer and director were all waiting for Amelia¡¯s arrival on set she could see the line that has started forming on his forehead.

    Everyone knew how strict he was when it came toteness, Amelia¡¯s role will be taken away and given to someone else and that someone will be her.

    Not too long Amelia came in with some guards tailing after her, she raised her hand to stop them froming further.

    Evelyn¡¯s grin widened, Amelia walked up to the director and exchanged pleasantries with him. ¡°did I keep you all waiting for so long?¡± Amelia asked even though she knew the answer.

    The directorughed awkwardly ¡°no no no we just got here¡±.

    Evelyn flew up in rage, ¡°what the hell?¡±

 Chapter 34_ Brewing danger 1

    Amelia turned to Evelyn with a questioning face. Evelyn walked towards Amelia with anger, she hasn¡¯t forgotten how Amelia humiliated her in public.

    ¡°we¡¯ve been waiting for almost an hour¡± said Evelyn.

    ¡°what is this producer? will you change the rules because of her?!¡± She added.

    Amelia looked back and forth between the producer and Evelyn. Mr Mike shed her an awkward smile. ¡°Miss Hart it¡¯s nothing of that sought go and get ready the shoot starts in twenty minutes¡± Mr Mike announced.

    Amelia smiled at him and left for her dressing room.

    Immediately she left the producer casted Evelyn a menacing gaze ¡°Miss Simpson next time watch what you spill out¡±. he angrily mumbled and left the set. His career would have been over if he had punished Amelia like he normally does to others who camete.

    He was sure that Mr Grayson wouldn¡¯t spare him since he was the one who rmended Amelia for that specific role.

    Amelia changed into another dress and was heading out of her dressing room when she met Kelvin.

    ¡°hi miss Hart¡± kelvin greeted.

    Amelia smiled at him ¡°don¡¯t be too formal with me you can call me Amelia¡±.

    Kelvin nodded in affirmation walking out with her ¡°I was wondering if we could have lunch today after our shoot that¡¯s if you don¡¯t mind¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s cheeks reddened, she bit her lower lips slightly ¡°not at all¡±..

    ..

    Liam came out of his room at his mansion someone tried to break into his home while he was away.

    Only one of them was caught and was unconscious after his men beat him to a pulp. One of his men ran up to him ¡°boss he is awake!¡±.

    Liam walked quickly withrge strides to where the man was tied up.

    He roughly pulled a chair to sit in front of the young man. The young man cowered in fear as Liam stared at him with murderous intent.

    ¡°Who sent you here?¡± Liam questioned through gritted teeth.

    Cold sweat broke out on the man¡¯s forehead, his lips quivered slightly mumbling some incoherent words.

    ¡°it¡­. w.. a. s.. ad.. y¡­.¡±

    Liam sent a punch to his face ¡°speak out clearly now!¡±.

    The man raised his head slowly ¡°I only carry orders from my superiors I have never seen the boss¡±.

    Liam frowned, who would dare mess with him this way?.

    Liam rised to his feet kicking his chair away in anger, ¡°You don¡¯t want to talk? beat him up and make him beg for death until he spill out every details of who sent him¡±.

    Liam ordered and was about to leave, ¡°please don¡¯t, we didn¡¯te here to attack you¡­¡­ we came for thedy!¡±.

    Jane walked aimlessly on the road in agony, after that day that Liam wrecked Greg of all his assets her life was also ruined.

    She only depended on Greg¡¯s money for her upkeep and now that he is penniless she is also suffering from it.

    Her rent was due and she could be kicked out of her apartment anytime soon.

    Jane stopped on her tracks when she saw a familiar face walking out of a restaurant with some guards behind him.

    Her mind tried to remember where she could have seen him before it suddenly dawned on her, crossing to the other side of the road she approached him before he could enter his car. ¡°Excuse me!¡± she reached her hand out to him.

    Nichs retracted his hand staring at the weirddy before him ¡°how dare youy your filthy hands on me?¡±.

    Jane¡¯s jaw clenched in anger ¡°you don¡¯t know me but I definitely know you¡±.

    Nichs signalled his guards to throw thedy out of his sight.

    Jane wriggled in the guards strong grip ¡°I know everything about Amelia Hart and her husband Liam Grayson¡± Jane screamed.

    Nichs who was about getting into the car stopped and turned to her, only the family knew about Liam¡¯s marriage to Amelia.

    ¡°let her go¡±..

    ..

    Nichs stomach churned in disgust at the pace at which she was eating like she had been starved for a long time. Jane gulped down a ss of water and belched.

    She met his piercing eyes which were filled with irritation. ¡°excuse my bad manners¡±.

    He didn¡¯t know why but he found her a bit familiar. ¡°what do you know?¡± he questioned.

    Jane¡¯s brows collided ¡°You must have known about Amelia¡¯s affair with Liam Grayson but I strongly believe that Amelia didn¡¯t have anything to do with Liam that night¡±.

    Nichs squinted his eyes at thedy before him, it looks like he picked up a maddy from the street. ¡°what are you talking about?¡±.

    ¡°don¡¯t pretend like you know nothing, don¡¯t you remember? that night I saw you taking Amelia out of the hall after she was spiked so how did she end up with Liam if she was with you?¡±.

    ¡°so you were thedy who spiked her drink?¡±.

    Nichs face changed instantly.

    ¡°Yes I am! and I¡¯ll do it again if I get the chance¡±.

    Nichs fell into a deep thought, ¡°so what do you want?¡± Nichs questioned.

    Jane¡¯s eyes turned red in fury ¡°I want to separate Liam and Amelia forever, because of Amelia I lost everything and I want her to go through the same pain over and over again¡±.

    The corners of his mouth drew into a smirk, he has seen the right tool to separate Amelia from Liam. ¡°let¡¯s make a deal, I¡¯ll help you get back on your feet again only if you help me separate Amelia from Liam!¡±.

    Jane¡¯s greedy eyes shone brightly ¡°consider it done¡±.

    ¡°And remember no harm should fall upon Amelia not even a single scratch or else I¡¯ll wipe off your existence¡±..

    Lisa walked into a fairly old building, she was about to knock when the door opened.

    ¡°aunt!¡± she eximed throwing herself into her aunt¡¯s embrace.

    The middle aged woman smiled ¡°Lisa? you are unbelievable!e in your cousin has been dying to meet you again¡±.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    Aunt Kathy pulled Lisa into the house.

    ¡°Nancye here your dear cousin is here already¡± Kathy called out.

    Nancy(Evelyn)zily came out of her room chewing a gum harshly. Nancy casted Lisa a gaze full of hatred.

    ¡°mum! why did you invite her over? you know how much her presence irk me so much!¡±.

    Kathy narrowed her eyes at her daughter ¡°Nancy! behave yourself she is your cousin¡±.

    ¡°Maybe yours not mine¡± Nancy chided leavings the sitting room.

    Kathy saw Lisa¡¯s downcasted look and went to stand beside her. ¡°don¡¯t feel bad Lisa you know how bad tempered Nancy is?¡±.

    Lisa smiled at her aunt ¡°don¡¯t worry about it aunt I¡¯m starving¡±.

    ¡°And cut!¡± the director screamed.

    Amelia let out a sigh, ¡°thank goodness that is over¡±.

    Chelsea rushed to Amelia with a bottle of water, she uncorked the bottle of water gulping a mouthful.

    ¡°Amelia it¡¯s time for that lunch we agreed on!¡±.

 Chapter 36_ Brewing danger 2

    Amelia¡¯s cheeks flushed by his bluntness, he just asked her out in front of everyone.

    ¡°Since I won¡¯t have anymore shoot today I think it¡¯s a yes, give me some minutes I¡¯ll be with you shortly¡±.

    Kelvin nodded in agreement mesmerized by her pretty smile.

    Few momentster Amelia changed into her former clothes, kelvin saw her approaching his car.

    He walked towards the car opening the door for her to get in like a gentleman.

    ¡®tsk Liam never does that!¡¯ she thought inwardly..

    ..

    Liam sighed for the umpteenth time in a row he has been trying to reach Amelia for quite some time now but her phone was out of reach.

    His car pulled over in front of star entertainment, after alighting his pace was hurried.

    Mr Mike and the directors stood up on seeing him. ¡°Mr Grayson! what brings you here?¡± Mr Mike came forward stretching his hand for a handshake which was ignored by Liam.

    His hawk like eyes searched the vicinity he was in searching for someone. ¡°Where is miss Hart?¡± Liam demanded impatiently.

    ¡°Mr Grayson she left right after she was done with her shoot¡±.

    ¡°darn it!¡± Liam cursed silently.

    ¡°She went on a date with kelvin¡±

    Liam heard a voice behind him¡­¡­¡­..

    Kelvin stared at Amelia who was picking on her food ¡°what is wrong?¡±

    Amelia raised her head when she heard him speak.

    ¡°I¡¯m okay, it¡¯s just that I¡¯m a bit stressedtely¡±.

    Kelvin chuckled ¡°is he stressing you that much?¡± Kelvin said wiggling his brows at her.

    Amelia blinked severally ¡°What? kelvin! no I don¡¯t mean that!¡±.

    Heughed out at her cute reaction, ¡°What do you think I mean?¡± he asked curiously.

    Amelia blushed red in embarrassment luckily for her, her phone vibrated on the table.

    It was a text from Liam, ¡®get out of there this minute¡¯. she read out slowly.

    ¡®who does he think he is to order me around?! hmph!¡±..

    Liam read her reply with creased brows ¡°damn this stubborndy!¡±.

    He came out of the car heading into the restaurant hurriedly.

    His eyes darted around searching for her until he spotted her by the ss window side with a guy, at that moment Kelvin leaned forward to Amelia to whisper something to her ears.

    Liam¡¯s hand tightened as he matched straight to Amelia jerking her off her seat, without waiting to hear any exnation he pulled her out with him forcefully.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    Amelia winced in pain ¡°Liam what is wrong with you? let me go you are hurting me!¡±.

    Liam pushed her into the car and got in afterwards. ¡°hey¡­.

    ¡°Don¡¯t start now!¡± Liam cut her off, anger very obvious in his voice and eyes.

    ¡°you have no idea of how your life is in brewing danger! instead you went out on a date with some guy¡±.

    ¡°I called you multiple times but you¡­¡±

    Liam sighed exasperatedly looking straight ahead.

    ¡°W.. what do you mean by that? and what danger are you talking about?¡± Amelia asked feeling somewhat scared.

    Liam ignored her question, his phone made a beeping sound he raised it to his ear ¡°I need more backup they are tailing us!¡±.

    Amelia sat up looking through the side mirror she saw a truck behind them heading towards their car in full speed.

    ¡°shit!¡±.

    Liam embraced Amelia slightly, the truck rammed their car.

    Amelia let out a loud shriek tightening her embrace on Liam.

    The car skidded on the road till it hit the asphalt causing it to stop abruptly..

    ..

    Liam sat outside the lobby waiting for the doctor toe out it¡¯s been a while since Amelia was admitted into the hospital.

    Luckily for her no major injury was sustained. He picked up his phone that vibrated in his pants pocket ¡°good keep an eye on them¡±.

    Liam stood up as soon as the doctor came out ¡°there¡¯s no need to worry Mr Grayson nothing serious at all¡±.

    ¡°She fainted due to shock nothing more¡± the doctor said and left Liam standing alone.

    Liam opened the door to her ward ¡°Hey be gentle with that! I really don¡¯t need a bandage¡± Amelia whined at the nurse.

    The nurse sighed, this was far the worst patient she has ever treated.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes met his, the nurse finished tending to her bruises and left the two alone.

    ¡°your stubbornness nearly caused you your life today!¡± Liam scolded.

    Amelia narrowed her eyes at him ¡°me? you know what I¡¯m pretty sure that it¡¯s one of your numerous secret lovers that tried to kill me, please reassure them that I won¡¯t steal you away, you are definitely not my type!¡± Amelia stated.

    Liam was perplexed, ¡°Crazy girl, it looks to me that you are fine now. we are not going back to the ancestral home¡±.

    Amelia hopped down from the bed and pretended to be weak, she dramatically fell back down hoping for Liam to hold her back from falling.

    As if realizing what she was about to do he moved out of the way causing her to crash heavily on the ground.

    Liam started walking away ¡°get up and stop fooling around!¡±.

    The door closed with a slight bang ¡°jerk! heartless! Arrogant man!¡± she cursed through gritted teeth rubbing her sour butt thatnded heavily on the ground.

    Amelia returned back with Liam to his house, she was quite surprised to see the number of heavy bodied guards surrounding the environment with different kinds of weapon.

    ¡°Liam! I hope you aren¡¯t thinking of restricting my movements!¡± shemented.

    It was more easier for her to fight off her former guards because they weren¡¯t really hefty but now?¡­. she was sure sure that these new guards will squeeze her to a punch if she dares act smart with them.

    ¡°Hmm kind off¡± Liammented walking into the building.

    Somewhere in the city.

    There was loud crash as a man violently threw down everything on his table, she escaped death yet again. How unlucky he truly was, one of his Henchmen came in bowing slightly ¡°Boss the truck driver has been caught by Mr Grayson¡±.

    His brown orbs were filled with anger in the next second a loud bang was heard as the henchmen fell down covered in a pull of his own blood. ¡°Worthless! and useless! you came in here with such news hoping to be apuded?¡±.

    ¡°What are you staring at? get rid of the body you bunch of worthless fools!¡± he yelled at his remaining henchmen.

    He ran his hand through his hair, ¡°Why is the Grayson getting involved in my affairs now? all i want is thatdy dead! Amelia Hart your doom is not too far!¡±.

    Ady walked into the room looking at the disheveled state ¡°don¡¯t you think you are over reacting? it¡¯s obvious your n is bound to fail since the Grayson¡¯s are involved now!¡± thedy said walking towards him.

    In the next instance he pulled her harshly to himself ¡°You are just a thing to y with don¡¯t try to get yourself into my personal life¡±. He pushed her with a bit too much force towards the long sofa.

    His lips formed a deep smirk as he pulled his shirt off, thedy shook her head slightly trying to get up from the couch.

    ¡°I like it when you act feisty¡±.

 Chapter 37_ Boss of me

    Amelia paced around her room wondering who could possibly want her dead, ¡°who is responsible for this and why?¡± she questioned herself.

    ¡°you really don¡¯t know? you are bound to have enemies with your bad attitude, don¡¯t be surprised if you found out that I¡¯m responsible for your attack¡± Liam sarcastically said staring at hisptop.

    Amelia rolled her eyes at his words ¡°just focus on your work¡±.

    Her eyesnded on the tiny dog statue she tried to steal the other day. She walked towards the shinny little fe calling her attention.

    When her hand was just about to touch it, Liam caught her hand ¡°don¡¯t try to steal it this time¡±.

    ¡°You are not the boss of me to tell me what to do and not do, we are only bound by a freaky contract¡±. Amelia argued.

    ¡°so you know everything about the contract huh? and yet you are having a rtionship with someone else¡±.

    Amelia raised a brow ¡°Liam! how could you think like that? and by the way why are you acting like Imitted a huge crime?¡±¡­..

    ¡°You¡¯vemitted a crime!¡± Liam angrily said jerking Amelia a bit..

    ..

    Louisa stared into space earlier today Jake almost ended their rtionship because Dn passed the night at her house. She picked up her phone again trying his line again.

    She sighed, the telephone rang beside her ¡°I¡¯ll be there¡±

    She stood up from her seat picking a file from the table she entered his office.

    Dn was concentrated on hisptop when she entered his office ¡°drop the file on the table and make me a cup of tea¡± he ordered without raising his head up.

    Few minutester she returned with a cup of tea cing it on his desk. He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

    Almost immediately he spat it out jerking out of his seat ¡°what is the meaning of this Lou?¡± Dn raised his voice a little.

    Louisa rushed to his side ¡°what is wrong with it?¡± she questioned.

    She picked the teacup taking a sip, ¡®oh goodness! I added salt instead of sugar¡¯ she scolded herself inwardly.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry it was a mistake I¡¯ll make another cup for you¡± she apologized.

    Dn waved her off ¡°don¡¯t bother it looks like you are trying to kill me because of what happenedst night¡±.

    He returned back to his seat picking up the file she brought ¡°What is wrong with you today Lou? this isn¡¯t what I asked for!¡± he scolded.

    Louisa sighed today wasn¡¯t really her day, Jake was refusing to pick her calls and it was affecting her work. ¡°I¡¯ll do the necessary amendment¡±.

    Dn knew something was bothering her, he also had a hunch on what it could be.

    Louisa¡¯s phone beeped, her sour mood suddenly lightened up like a sun it was a text from Jake.

    ¡® I¡¯m sorry Louisa I was in a business meeting and couldn¡¯t take your call, I hope you understand see youter. love you¡¯.

    Those sentence alone sent her flying high in the clouds.

    Dn cleared his throat to bring her out of her Dreand, he saw how ted her mood became after reading something on her phone.

    ¡°Huh¡­.. Louisa drop what you are holding on the table there are some documents I kept inside that room over there I need it now hurry up¡± Dn pointed to a room adjacent to him.

    Louisa dropped her phone on his desk and left for the room after she was gone he picked up her phone going through it his lips formed a smirk.

    ¡®so he is the reason? tsk¡¯. he mused slightly irritated.

    He dropped her phone back when he heard her footsteps approaching. ¡°I couldn¡¯t find anything in there¡±.

    ¡°don¡¯t worry about it I¡¯ve seen what I was searching for¡± he dismissed her.

    Louisa found his attitude strange she picked up her phone from his desk and left the office.

    Few dayster,

    Amelia looked through her window, after she was involved in that ident Liam has tightened the security around her she couldn¡¯t even step out of her room without being escorted like a thief.

    There was a knock on the door she walked to the door, just who could it be now?

    She opened the door to find the new maid that Liam hired to tend to her needs. ¡°yes? is anything wrong?¡±.

    Amelia doesn¡¯t know why but she gets a bad vibe from thisdy in front of her. she bowed slightly, ¡°Young master requests your presence¡± she said softly with her head still bowed.

    ¡°Liam is around?¡± she asked herself.

    Amelia came out of her room with her maid tailing behind her.

    She got downstairs to find the living room empty, she left for his study room to find it empty also.

    ¡°Where could he have gone?¡±..This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

    ..

    The maid entered Liam¡¯s room after making sure no one was around.

    She touched the walls to check for cracks or any abnormal part, she knocked the wall slightly cing her ears on it to check for any off sounds.

    ¡°darn it boss nothing is in here!¡± She cursed silently.

    She quickly left the room and almost immediately Liam came out of the secretpartment in his room.

    He looked around the room it smelt different, he walked towards the vanity table picking Amelia¡¯s body spray and sniffed it.

    The door opened as Amelia stepped in ¡°how did you get in here? I was looking around for you¡±.

    ¡°Did you get a new spray?¡± Liam inquired. ¡°why? do you want to criticize me? well no¡± she said collecting her spray from him.

    Liam¡¯s eyes scanned the room, he was sure that someone was here a while ago, Amelia also followed his line of sight. ¡°is something wrong? I mean you were suddenly interested in my body spray¡±.

    ¡°Do you smell something unusual?¡± Liam asked.

    Amelia sniffed the air ¡°yes! I can smell your abnormal behaviour¡±.

    ¡°I thought you left for work a while ago why did youe back so early? and besides what do you need me for?¡±.

    Liam ced his hand into his pants pockets walking around the room, something was not right.

    ¡°why would I need you? I never called you okay?¡± Liam arrogantly stated walking to the golden tiny dog statue his eyes examined it for a while.

    ¡°hey there! Mr Arrogant you asked that weird maid to call me don¡¯t lie now!¡±.

    Liam¡¯s squinted his eyes at her ¡°what?¡±.

    After he entered the secret room earlier today he never came out until now.

    ¡°you heard me!¡±.

    Liam headed out of the room hurriedly ¡°Weirdo!¡± she called after.

    .

    .

    .

    The maid shivered slightly under the scrutinizing gaze of Liam, he stood up from his seat walking towards her.

    Amelia watched the scene in front of her with a puzzled look. ¡®what is he trying to prove?¡¯

    Her eyes almost popped out of its sockets when she saw Liam leaning forward to the maid.

    ¡°Liam!¡±

    He was a bit startled by her outburst ¡°have you no shame? what are you trying to do?¡±.

    With folded hands, she gave him a strange look which made her look really funny.

    ¡°guards!¡± he suddenly called out.

    In mere seconds six hefty men came forward ¡°take her away and make sure she spills everything she knows!¡± Liam ordered which made the maid flinch.

    ¡°w.. w.. hat are¡­. you saying boss?¡± the maid panicked slightly.

    His guards held her arm pulling her out of the living room.

    Amelia came forward standing in front of him ¡°see? I knew she was up to no good but you never listen to me! and were you trying to kiss her a while ago?¡±.

    She scrunched her face in disgust.

    Liam flicked her forehead slightly ¡°crazy girl¡± he mumbled and left leaving her to fume by herself.

 Chapter 38_ Nice lady 1

    A dart flew across the room to the picture on the wall hitting it on target, a young man rose to his feet walking to the wall ¡°and like that she will be gone!¡±.

    Ady rolled her eyes at his fantasies she was quite sure that his n would fail again like it normally does.

    ¡°Boss!¡± a man ran in panting heavily. Thedy lit up her cigarette she could tell he was here to announce the boss multiple failure.

    ¡°what is it this time?¡± his voice echoed in therge room.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°Boss the maid we hired to perform the task has been caught¡±.

    His eyes zed in anger, he turned sharply gripping his henchman¡¯s neck tightly. ¡°say that again!¡±.

    A loud bang echoed in the air. Thedy walked up to him holding his arm. ¡°If you keep on doing this we are sure to run out of henchmen, why don¡¯t you let me handle thisdy myself!¡±.

    .

    .

    .

    Liam went through the file he was holding, someone was trying to kill Amelia and then frame him for the murder.

    ¡°Boss she also didn¡¯t know who the mastermind is¡±.

    Liam paced around and stopped as if realizing something. ¡°That henchman mentioned something about ady! go and get a full description of thedy from him, if anyone asks about me tell them that I have gone to the office¡±.

    Amelia returned back to the room slightly irritated ¡°That brat called me crazy!¡±.

    Her eyes found its way again to that tiny statue of a dog, she marched to the shelf where it was ced and reached out for it.

    She picked up the statue on the shelf which seemed to be stuck, she applied a bit more force to it.

    She heard a crackling sound and the wall opened like a door, her jaw dropped in shock and in awe.

    Never in her wildest dreams has she thought of something like this, her curiosity was piqued on what Liam must be hiding in there.

    She nced towards the door and sighed before stepping into the dark passage. She turned on her phone¡¯s torchlight for a better view.

    There were several strange drawings and writings on the wall which she couldn¡¯t decode.

    Amelia felt her heart mming against her ribcage, ¡°you are a bravedy don¡¯t be scared¡± she silently encouraged herself.

    She walked a little further and found herself in arge room.

    She stopped on her tracks seeing nurses and several doctors moving around the room. She also noticed the weird gazes that they were throwing at her.

    ¡°does he run a secret organization?¡± she asked herself confusedly.

    Amelia shrugged and moved further into the room and what she saw shocked her to the core.

    In front of herid a fraildy on a bed with several tubes attached to her body and Liam was resting his head on the bed holding her slender hand between his own. she stood rooted to the ground unable to decipher what was going on.

    ¡°What is going?¡± she questioned her inner self.

    Liam felt another presence beside him and turned to his side, his lips quirked up. ¡°nothing you do surprises me anymore¡± Liam mumbled obviously irritated by her sudden appearance.

    Amelia shifted her gaze from thedy to Liam, his eyes were slightly red. did he cry?

    Thedy¡¯s eyes suddenly snapped open which made Amelia scream.

    ¡°her¡­.. eyes¡­ opened just now!¡± she stuttered trembling slightly.

    The doctor examined the woman on the bed and turned to Amelia ¡°it¡¯s totally normal, she does that once in a while¡± the doctor exined.

    ¡°Liam what is going on? and who is she?¡±

    ¡°Your curiousity will definitely be the end of you!¡±

    Amelia swallowed hard hearing the tone he used on her.

    Liam stood up walking to her in steady steps, he took a nce at thedy on the bed and his eyes softened a bit.

    She swallowed hard and for the first time she was scared of the consequences of her actions. ¡°I¡¯m sorry I just had¡­.

    He grabbed her arm taking her out of the room with him.

    Amelia crashed on the bed harshly ¡°What was that for? tell me who she is Liam¡±.

    Liam scowled at her, her guts was just something else ¡°What on earth are you made of? don¡¯t you ever get tired of behaving foolishly?¡±.

    ¡°Liam is she your mum?¡±

    Amelia asked innocently she noticed that whenever she talked about his mother he gets upset easily.

    She got up and walked towards him, cing her hand on his arm ¡°Tell me Liam! is she your mother?¡±

    Amelia urged him to spill his heart out, today she really saw how lonely he was. A proud man like him was crying his eyes out for ady.

    Liam sat on the bed massaging his head he hates it whenever he sees his mother in that condition and whenever someone mentioned her name it reminds him of her pitiful condition.

    Amelia could feel his distress and felt moved by his state she gently climbed on the bed going behind him.

    Her fingers went into his hair giving him a soothing head massage ¡°Liam it¡¯s okay to share your problems with me I promise to listen to you¡±.

    Liam closed his eyes as he felt her fingers in his hair that was somehow helping to relieve his plight. ¡°Why should I tell you my problems? you can¡¯t solve any of it if I tell you¡±.

    His jaw tightened as he felt the pressure she exerted on his head.

    ¡°you are always ready to fight with me Mr Arrogant don¡¯t you get tired of it? I¡¯m trying to be supportive who would believe me when I tell them that I actually saw the almighty Liam Grayson crying his heart out today¡± Amelia sarcasticallymented.

    Liam¡¯s thick brows drew together ¡°are you making jest of me?¡±

    Amelia came down from the bed and stood in front of him ¡°take it as you want¡±.

    Liam got up and headed out of the room, Amelia sighed she really pitied Liam..

    ..

    Louisa waved her hand as soon as she saw Amelia walking into the restaurant. Amelia smiled as the two embraced each other warmly. ¡°looking all good¡± Louisa teased.

    Amelia¡¯s cheeks turned crimson red ¡°you look more chubby now tell me what¡¯s the secret?¡± Amelia asked wiggling her eyebrows teasingly.

    ¡°Amy!¡± Louisa called outughing out.

    Louisa¡¯s face turned serious instantly ¡°Amy I¡¯ve been meaning to ask how your rtionship with Liam has been progressing? thest time he dropped by at mypany to speak with Dn he looked lonely¡±.

    Amelia shrugged ¡°Why should I care Lou? after a year we will both go our separate ways!¡±

    Louisa sighed touching Amelia¡¯s hand on the table ¡°won¡¯t you at least make these months you have with himfortable and memorable for him who knows you both might work things out between you two¡±.

    Amelia fell into deep thought digesting what Louisa said.

    Louisa called out for a waiter who took their order and left.

    ¡°Thanks for the advice Lou I¡¯ll make sure to work on it¡±. Amelia promised.

    Louisa raised a brow unconvinced, she knew Amelia well by now. ¡°Amy don¡¯t take me for a fool okay? prove it to me that you will start acting nice to him please¡±.

    Amelia grabbed her phone almost squishing it with her hand.

    Liam who was in the conference room with his business partners felt his phone beeped on the table. He took a nce at the text from his wife ¡®Hope you had lunch?¡¯.

    He stood up from his seat and left the conference room ignoring his partners.

    He raised his phone to his ear ¡°what crime have youmitted to ask me about lunch?¡±.

 Chapter 39_ Nice lady 2

    Ady hurriedly walked in knocking a tray out of a waiter¡¯s hand which spilled on Amelia¡¯s dress ¡°you jerk!¡±.

    Amelia stood up staring at the mess the waiter had created. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry it wasn¡¯t his fault I was the one who pushed him¡± Ady apologized.

    ¡°I¡¯ll talk to youter okay?¡± Amelia ended the call with Liam and turned to thedy.

    Louisa waved the waiter off and stood by Amy¡¯s side ¡°it¡¯s okay¡± Amelia said forcing a smile.

    Thedy¡¯s eyes shone brightly ¡°oh my you are Amelia Hart! the actress¡­. oh my gosh.. I¡¯m a super fan by the way I¡¯m ra¡±.

    Amelia had to behave sane since most people who weren¡¯t aware of her presence came flocking around her. Seems the super fan ra blew her off.

    Her guards saw the small group of people that were starting to form around Amelia asking for either a photo or an autograph.

    They stood up from their various seats in the restaurant, they came in as ordinary civilian because she didn¡¯t want to draw attention to herself.

    They knew she could be attacked if not careful, Louisa shrieked when she felt a sharp object grazed past her hand.

    Amelia¡¯s guards came to her aid guiding her out of the restaurant.

    She let out a sigh of relief when she was out of there, ¡°I¡¯m sorry it was my fault¡± ra apologized holding her ears.

    Louisa came out hiding her injured arm away from them she couldn¡¯t believe that someone tried to harm Amelia in there.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it dear, it was just an ident¡±

    ra smiled and watched Amelia enter the car with her friend..

    ..This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    Liam¡¯s eyes remained still on the tv, he was watching the thirty minutes clip of Amelia¡¯s encounter at the restaurant.

    ¡°pause it there!¡± he ordered sitting up straight with shaky hands his assistant paused the video.

    ¡°now zoom in¡±.

    Liam reached out for his phone on his desk when he found something in the background.

    Amelia felt her phone vibrating in her purse she took it out on seeing who it was she quickly answered it.

    ¡°Is Louisa with you?¡± she heard him speak and turned to Louisa. ¡°Yeah she is¡±.

    ¡°Here he wants to talk to you¡± Amelia handed the phone to Louisa feeling confused on why Liam wanted to talk to her friend.

    Louisa raised the phone to her ear ¡°Hi¡±.

    Liam didn¡¯t respond for some seconds his gaze returned back to the video. ¡°You were injured by someone in the crowd¡±.

    Louisa cleared her throat wondering how he knew about it ¡°well yeah¡­.. I don¡¯t think it was meant for me but Amy¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s curiously stared at Louisa she was itching to know what they were talking about that concerns her.

    ¡°Good don¡¯t mention it to her¡± he hanged up and let out a smirk staring at the screen again.

    The car stopped in front of Louisa¡¯s apartment, Louisa hurriedly came down she didn¡¯t want to be pressured by Amelia¡¯s questioning gaze.

    ¡°Lou tell me what is wrong, you both were clearly talking about me¡±.

    Louisa shed her an awkward smile and ran into her apartment, she didn¡¯t want to get on Liam¡¯s bad side by spilling out anything.

    Amelia watched her disappearing back and sighed. ¡°That Liam! I¡¯m sure he must have threatened her to remain quiet¡± she mumbled beneath her breathe.

    Liam returned back home he was surprised that the lights were still on, when he passed by the dining area his nose was assaulted by a strong aromaing from the lined up dishes on the table.

    He headed to his bedroom to find her drying her hair.

    ¡°Finally you are back Liam!¡± she eximed but what shocked Liam was the excited tone she used to speak to him.

    Amelia smiled and dropped the hair dryer walking closer to him, she took off his coat and tie.

    Liam went numb and dumb on why she was being an extremely nicedy since today. ¡°why are you being nice all of a sudden?¡±.

    ¡°I¡¯m always nice but you don¡¯t see my good side only the bad sides¡± Shemented unbuttoning his shirt.

    ¡°Freshen up and go down for dinner okay?¡± She picked up his clothes and left the room.

    Liam freshened up quickly and headed downstairs for dinner he was famished and felt like he could eat an entire city.

    Amelia sighed in relief when he came down but instead of sitting next to her he took a seat at the farther end of the table.

    ¡°I¡¯m trying to be nice to him but he wants a great distance it seems he likes being alone¡± she mumbled.

    Liam met her mean gaze and looked away he had to be careful since she was being too nice for his liking.

    ¡°It¡¯s not like I¡¯m going to bite you if you sit next to me¡± Amelia started moving to sit beside him.

    She took out a te dishing out his meal for him, Liam stared at the food in front of him and picked up his cutlery but hesitated.

    ¡°I hope you are not thinking that I poisoned your food!¡±

    He picked up his cutlery and started eating slowly he wanted topliment her cooking skills but he gave up the idea he didn¡¯t want her to think highly of herself.

    Amelia smiled in satisfaction when he was done eating he wondered why she wasughing now ¡°I have a confession to make Liam, I really poisoned your food¡±.

    Liam choked on his own spit and gulped down a ss of water. ¡°At least the poison will send me far away from you and your drama¡± Liam muttered and left the dining.

    Amelia caught up with him and stood akimbo in front of him. ¡°You know? today I was curious on what you told Louisa that was really weird and I¡¯m sure it was about me¡±.

    Liam led her to his study room ¡°have a seat¡± he offered her.

    ¡°it¡¯s not like I need your permission to sit¡±

    Liam let out a breath he brought out a drawing of ady ¡°Do you know her?¡±.

    Amelia blinked confusedly at the drawing ¡°No I don¡¯t¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s thedy who sent the truck driver to attack you¡±. Liam announced to her.

    ¡°Well go and find her since you have her picture¡± Amelia suggested.

    ¡°She changes her face weekly to avoid being recognized by people this is her original face¡±.

    Amelia was irked by the thought of undergoing face surgery every week. ¡°only a psycho will do that¡±.

    ¡°That¡¯s why you need to be extra careful or else you want to be killed¡±..

    ..

    ¡°Liam open your eyes won¡¯t you get ready to leave for the office?¡±

    Liam opened his eyes to see Amelia¡¯s face over his, he closed his eyes silently cursing beneath his breathe. Of all things to see so early in the morning why her?

    He got up from the bed heading to the bathroom.

    Minutester he came out of the bathroom to find the clothes she picked out for him ignoring her choice he walked to his closet to find it empty except a piece of paper that was glued inside.

    ¡®i know how stubborn you can be

    so I hid every clothe you own so

    get dressed in the outfit I picked¡¯

    Liam squeezed the piece of paper with his palm, his wife was so daring.

    Amelia smiled imagining Liam¡¯s expression once he finds out that all his clothes have gone missing, she drew out a stool to reach for the flour on the top shelves.

    She attempted climbing on the stool but was stopped by the cooks ¡°Ma¡¯am please don¡¯t master will skin us alive¡± they both pleaded.

    ¡°I will do it myself now stand back¡± she added an authoritative tone to scare them off, they reluctantly took a step back and watched her climb the stool.

    The stool wobbled and she lost her bnce falling backwards just when she thought of breaking a bone and dying she felt herself on someone¡¯s arms.

    Liam stared at her in displeasure before dropping her down ¡°Woah that was close thanks a lot Liam¡±.

    Liam turned to the cooks who bowed down their heads immediately ¡°and you were watching? is this not your job?¡± he scolded.

    ¡°No Liam it was my fault I actually asked them to stand back¡±.

    Liam was marvelled at her level of thinking ¡°You asked them to stand back? were you actually trying tomit suicide in my own house?¡±.

    Amelia rolled her eyes leading him out of the kitchen to the dining. ¡°Have your breakfast¡± Amelia urged.

    ¡°I¡¯m in no mood for your breakfast¡± he stated.

    Amelia rolled up her sleeves taking a spoonful of rice mixed with chicken sauce and shoved it down his mouth.

    ¡°I spent all morning making that for you and you are refusing it? I¡¯m done with this!¡± she faked anger and left the dining.

    Liam picked up a napkin wiping the sauce that smudged on his lips. picking up his cutlery he began munching on his meal.

    Amelia smiled peeping at him behind the wall.

 Chapter 40_ I hate that name!

    Amelia¡¯s grin widened further ¡°I promise to make these few months we have together memorable for you¡± she silently vowed.

    .

    .

    .

    Liam arrived at thepany, all the employees stood up and greeted in unison but received silence in return. His assistant came running behind him. ¡°sir.. you have some clients waiting for you in your office¡± thedy breathed out trying to keep up her pace with him.

    Liam already had a hunch on who these uninvited guests were, he entered the office and yes! he was right.

    ¡°Yo! man looking all good¡± James happily remarked as soon as Liam stepped in.

    His three mischievous friends were here, he let out a sigh walking towards his seat he buzzed the inte. ¡°We know where this is going dude! and before you fire anyone just listen to what we have to say¡± Steven chided.

    Liam dropped the idea of sacking his employees who let these guys into his office.

    He sat down frustratedly tugging his tie gently ¡°Don¡¯t you guys have important things to do? I¡¯m a very¡­¡­.

    ¡°busy man¡± the triopleted the sentence cutting Liam off.

    ¡°dude we¡¯ve heard that like a billion times, Congrattions anyway¡± Steven added.

    ¡°for what?¡± Liam demanded.

    ¡°Oh about your marriage to that actress¡± James chided.

    James took out a bottle of wine beneath his seat ¡°and that¡¯s why we are here to celebrate¡± he opened the wine bottle which made a pop sound.

    Steven nudged James slightly ¡°what do you think is wrong with the both of them?¡±.

    James snapped his finger ¡°oh don¡¯t you know?¡±.

    James stood up cing his hands into his pants pocket. ¡°our dear friends right here are facing simr problems¡±.

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Steven asked.

    ¡°Liam doesn¡¯t like his wife because she dominates him and Dn likes ady who doesn¡¯t spare him a nce and these twodies are friends¡±. James exined grinning.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    He took out ss cups from Liam¡¯s wine cer and returned back to the table. ¡°Wow I¡¯d really like to see thedies who did this to poor Dn and Liam¡±. Steven added.

    James poured wine into the ss on the table handing each one a ss each. ¡°So I¡¯ll make a toast¡±.

    James and Steven exchanged meaningful looks ¡± to our new found sister Inw and future niece and nephews¡±

    Liam¡¯s hand itched to punch James in the face that minute, having children with Amelia? that thought has never crossed his mind before.

    Dn chuckled at Liam¡¯s expression that was turning sour at the thought. ¡°Don¡¯tugh Dn you are far worse than Liam you know? still can¡¯t man up to confess your feelings to a girl¡±. James jested.

    And that was it! Liam¡¯sst shred of tolerance was broken ¡°you all can leave now!¡± he ordered..

    ..

    Amelia stared continuously at her phone smiling sheepishly, the driver peeped at her through the rearview mirror to find out why she was so happy.

    ¡°if you stare at me one more time I¡¯ll take out your eyes¡± she threatened, the driver gulped and faced the road.

    A car suddenly crashed with Amelia¡¯s car ¡°What the heck!¡± she cursed out opening the door to step out.

    At the same time a man came out of the other car looking at the damage he caused. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry ma¡¯am¡±.

    Amelia was surprised on hearing the familiar voice pleading for her forgiveness ¡°Oh it¡¯s you?¡± Amelia said in sarcasm.

    Greg blinked confusedly at Amelia he still couldn¡¯t believe his eyes that the person standing in front of him was his ex girlfriend. She was looking different.

    His eyes shed with hate as he recalled why his life took a huge turn. ¡°Amy?¡±.

    Anger shed past her hazel orbs that were ring at him. ¡°oh be quiet I hate that name! only when you call it¡±.

    He was a bit taken back by the ferocity in her voice.

    ¡°look at the damage you¡¯ve done to my car don¡¯t think a mere apology is going to fix it¡±.

    Greg swallowed hard, how was he going to pay for the car¡¯s repair? he could barely feed himself now.

    ¡°Amelia just let this go¡± Greg pleaded, he cursed his fate and luck for making him cross paths with her again.

    Greg almost peed on himself seeing the hefty men who came down from the car behind the car he crashed just now. They stood behind Amelia heavily armed.

    Amelia¡¯s lips drew into a smirk when she saw how scared he was ¡°How can I let this go? you¡¯ll have to pay for the damage you¡¯ve caused¡±

    ¡°Are you doing this because I left you for Jane?¡± Greg questioned.

    Amelia¡¯s face scrunched in disgust ¡°e no¡­. in fact I¡¯m thankful to your brainless girlfriend that I¡¯m able to live in such luxury andfort if she hadn¡¯t done that I would have still been stuck to a loafer like you¡±.

    ¡°Amelia!¡± He took a step forward to approach her but stopped seeing the guards gun pointing at him in unison.

    Amelia took out her phone ¡°I¡¯ll show you where you truly belong Gregory¡±.

    ¡°hi Liam sorry to disturb your work but someone crashed my car but he couldn¡¯t afford to pay back for repair, do you perhaps need any cleaner or security man at yourpany?¡±.

    Greg¡¯s mouth fell wide open.

    Liam tapped his pen on the table ¡°As long as he have what it takes¡±.

    Amelia winked at Greg ¡°thanks sweetie¡± she hanged up and faced Greg.

    ¡°A cleaner would really suite you better¡±. Amelia remarked returning back into her car.

    Greg watched her car leave and kicked his car in frustration and anger..

    ..

    Nichs waited patiently outside star entertainment for Amelia when he couldn¡¯t bear sitting in the car anymore he came down and went in.

    His older brother openly dered war against him, he was sure that Liam and Amelia don¡¯t share a real rtionship like most couples do.

    Earlier he had seen her care in here after she was done with her shoot.

    Amelia approached kelvin who was speaking with the director ¡°Hello¡± she greeted the two men who responded simultaneously. The director smiled and left the two alone.

    Ever since that day they went out on a date she hasn¡¯t gotten a proper chance to exin anything to him. ¡°Kelvin I really wanted to apologize about our nned date that was cut short¡±.

    Kelvin pulled her cheek slightly ¡°there¡¯s no need to apologize Amelia but there¡¯s something I¡¯m still trying to understand, how are you rted to Mr Grayson?¡±.

    Amelia forced a smile ¡°he is a family friend¡±

    ¡°Amelia¡± Chelsea called out walking towards her with two sses of fruit juice but someone suddenly came out of nowhere knocking the sses out of her hand.

    Nichs looked down at his pants that the silly girl spilled a drink on, Chelsea looked down in horror. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry¡± she said wiping the stains off with her napkin.

    Amelia was quite surprised on seeing her brother inw. ¡°Hi Nick what a pleasant surprise¡± she said approaching him.

    His frown turned into a smile seeing how happy she was to see him.

    He stretched forward his hand and was caught off guard when she embraced him warmly ¡°I¡¯m not your crush who you shake hands with I¡¯m your sister inw¡± she whispered to him.

    Both kelvin and Chelsea watched in awe.

    Amelia pulled out from the embrace and stared at Nichs ¡°what brings you here?¡±

    Nichs came out of his daze his heart was beating really fast. ¡°oh I just dropped by to check how things were going down here¡±.

    Amelia turned to kelvin with pleading eyes ¡°Kelvin I¡¯ll see you some other time bye¡±.

    Nichs was grinning from ear to ear the entire time, he couldn¡¯t believe that she was actually with him now.

    ¡°Won¡¯t you have anything?¡± Nichs urged, earlier she had requested they visited the restaurant to have lunch.

 Chapter 41_ She is my wife!

    Amelia raised her head from her phone smiling at him ¡°I¡¯ll have lunch will Liam¡±.

    The smile on Nichs face freezed. Amelia stopped a waiter passing by ¡°I¡¯ll have two takeouts¡±.

    His grip on his cutlery tightened at the thought of Liam and Amelia having a private moment, he has been under the impression that Liam and Amelia were only pretending to be married.

    He forced a smile at her ¡°Okay then¡±..

    ..

    Liam¡¯s gaze returned to the man in front of him, he was one of Amelia¡¯s guards ¡°Boss she went out for lunch with Sir Nichs¡±.

    Liam dismissed the guard who was already shaking with fear.

    His nut head step brother never learns his lessons, what will he achieve by getting Amelia into all of these?.

    An hourter Nichs car pulled up in front of Liam¡¯spany, he watched how Amelia happily jumped out of the car in excitement.

    She turned back to him ¡°thanks for yourpany brother inw, see you some other time¡±.

    Amelia ruffled his hair with her hand before going into the building.

    Amelia opened the door without knocking and went into his office ¡°Check for the files on that shelf¡±.

    Liam said without lifting his head up, Amelia walked towards his table closing hisptop shut.

    ¡°have you¡­.¡±

    She ced her finger on his lips ¡°it¡¯s me! your wife¡±.

    Liam turned his face away from her in frustration, he was a bit surprised on seeing her here ¡°What are you doing here?¡±

    Amelia shed him a toothy smile ¡°I came here to make sure you have lunch¡±. she replied pulling up from his seat taking him to the white fluffy sofa in the office.

    She ced the takeouts on the table in front of the couch. Liam stared down at the table disying most of his favorite dishes, his mouth watered at the sight. ¡°Where did you go after your shoot?¡± Liam demanded.

    ¡°I met nick at star entertainment and he apanied me to a restaurant to get lunch for you and I¡±. Amelia exined scooping a spoon filled with rice.

    Liam suddenly lost the appetite to eat after hearing what she just said. ¡°I¡¯m not hungry¡±.

    ¡°open up¡±. she stretched her spoon filled with food to his mouth. ¡°Have something to eat at least¡­ please¡± she pouted her lips.

    Liam just couldn¡¯t point a finger at her sudden change, he ate from the spoon and collected it scooping his meal himself.

    ¡°what crime have youmitted that I¡¯m not aware of¡±.

    Amelia stuck out her tongue at him ¡°Liame on I¡¯m trying to make up for my past mistakes and you have my word I have changed for the better¡±.

    ¡°You hid all my clothes today just so I can wear the one you picked out¡± Liam snorted.

    ¡°well I¡¯m sorry okay? I¡¯m just trying to add more colors to your dark life¡±.

    Liam choked on his meal and coughed out uncontrobly. Amelia rushed to his his side patting his back and at the same time helping him drink some water.

    ¡°Are you alright?¡± she asked worriedly but was ignored, Liam rose up from the sofa heading into the restroom.

    ¡°I hope he is alright¡±..

    ..

    Nichs returned home after he dropped Amelia at Liam¡¯s office, he could only imagine what must be going on there now.

    He was passing by his grandfather¡¯s room when he over heard his grandfather¡¯s conversation with his dad.

    ¡°When are you going to tell Liam the truth you¡¯ve been hiding? your son hates you to the core thinking you were the one who killed his mother¡± old Grayson said through gritted teeth.

    Mark sighed frustratingly nobody understands his situation if he spills anything to Liam he will get Liam¡¯s respect back but loose his other son.

    ¡°Father just let things be this way¡± mark pleaded, if the truth everes out Liam will surely kill Nichs.

    ¡°You are willing to take the me upon yourself?¡±

    ¡°Father she is my wife and he is also my son so I¡¯ll do anything to save their heads¡±

    Nichs felt a slight grip on his arm, he turned around to see his mum. ¡°mum I¡­..

    Angie pulled him out of the corridor taking him into her room and made sure the door was well closed.

    Angie paced around the room worriedly what she was scared of has started haunting her. Nichs held his mum¡¯s shoulder to stop her from moving ¡°Mum this is bad if Liam should find out that we had a hand in his mother¡¯s death then we will be done for¡±.

    Angie cleared her throat, she could only imagine what Liam would make her go through. ¡°No son our truth can¡¯t be revealed to Liam your father won¡¯t dare say anything to him or he would suffer the consequences¡±.

    Nichs stared at his mum in anticipation ¡°mum I have a perfect solution for everything, why don¡¯t we get rid of Liam? if he dies then we have no problem¡±.

    Angie knocked his head slightly ¡°You fool! how many times have we tried to kill that stubborn mule? he never dies just like his mother, even though Brianna is dead she keeps on haunting my dreams¡±.

    ¡°it¡¯s not like youe up with great ideas¡± Nichs scorned.

    Angie rolled her eyes at her son¡¯s foolishness ¡°you are just as foolish as your father, good for nothing¡±..

    ..

    Cecile¡¯s once smiling face fell as soon as she stepped into her daughter¡¯s house that was all ruined to bits. ¡°oh my goodness!¡± she eximed in shock and pulled out her phone.

    Amelia nced at her phone on the table and hurriedly picked it up. ¡°mum!¡± she cried out excitedly.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry mum I¡¯m on my way¡±.

    Amelia said heading to Liam ¡°Liam is it okay if I take my mum home?¡±.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    Liam peeped at the clock it was almost closing hours so he closed hisptop heading out first. ¡°What a weird man¡± she mumbled.

    Amelia walked around the living room waiting for her mum, earlier Liam sent a driver to go get her instead of them.

    The door opened as Cecile stepped in ¡°mum!¡± Amelia called out throwing herself into her mum¡¯s embrace.

    Cecile nted a kiss on her daughter¡¯s forehead lovingly. ¡°my baby girl I missed you so much¡±.

    Liam felt warm, he recalled how he used to behave whenever his own mum was alive. Right now he somehow enjoyed seeing the genuine smile stered on Amelia¡¯s face.

    Cecile pulled out from the hug and that¡¯s when she noticed a man in the room and a very familiar one at that. Her worried eyes returned back to her daughter for some exnation.

    Liam was confused on how to start a conversation with his mother inw.

    Amelia saw the uneasiness in Liam¡¯s eyes and held her mum¡¯s face ¡°mum I¡¯ll exin everything to youe with me¡±.

    Cecile hesitated for a while but gave up and followed her daughter.

    Amelia took her mum to a room she prepared for her specifically.

    Cecile sat down with folded arms staring at her daughter to begin. Amelia swallowed hard ¡°What are you hiding from me Amy? tell me¡±. Cecile urged.

    ¡°Mum it¡¯s not a really big deal?¡±.

    Cecile stood up at once ¡°Not a big deal? I left only for a month and everything has changed your house was torn apart and you are living with a man none of these is making sense to me call Jane and Greg they are the only one who can give me an¡­¡­

    Amelia covered her mum¡¯s mouth with her palm ¡°Mum please stop and listen¡±

    Cecile sighed, her daughter was just unbelievable.

    ¡°Mum I lost everything you are mentioning nowst month, my love, my friend, my house everything because I trusted the wrong person¡±.

    Cecile¡¯s face changed into a concerned one ¡°what do you mean dear?¡±.

    ¡°Greg and Jane were secretly in a rtionship¡­

    ¡°What?¡± Cecile flew up immediately. ¡°that night at the opening ceremony Jane spiked my drink and I had a stand and was involved in a scandal¡±.

    Cecile drew her daughter back into her arms patting her back slowly, she couldn¡¯t believe such a thing happened to her daughter while she was away.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry you had to go through all that¡± sheforted sobbing gently.

    Amelia pulled away from her mum wiping her tears ¡°mum don¡¯t cry at least they showed me their true colours¡±.

    ¡°And who is that man?¡±.

    Amelia turned her back against her mum ¡°he is the man I had a stand with¡±.

    ¡°oh! well who is he?¡± Cecile inquired.

    ¡°Liam Grayson¡±.

    Cecile¡¯s jaw dropped ¡°you mean?¡­..

    ¡°yes mum and I¡¯m his wife¡± Amelia added.

    Cecile felt hot in the room even though it was well ventted. Learning about her daughter¡¯s ordeal in just one month while she was away was very hard for her.

    ¡°We had an agreement that we will only be married for a year due to the scandal¡±.

    ¡°do you think that marriage is a joke? it¡¯s a lifetimemitment¡± Cecile reasoned but Amelia¡¯s mind was already made up.

    ¡°I know why you are saying this, dad was wrong for leaving you but we can start our lives afresh after I receive thepensation money from Liam¡±.

    Cecile massaged her head ¡°Amy are you sure about this?¡± Cecile worriedly asked it¡¯s not as if Amelia was going to listen to her opinion, whenever her daughter makes up her mind it was hard to convince her.

    ¡°Yes mum!¡±

    Liam was a bit restless it has been a while since they left. Dn hurried in ¡°Liam I¡¯m here¡± he said catching his breathe.

    Dn looked around ¡°dude you said you were under attack¡±.

 Chapter 42_ He is handsome

    Liam¡¯s attention turned to the mother and daughter duo who just came in, he couldn¡¯t help but notice the striking features Amelia had with her mum.

    Dn looked back and forth between the two women and smiled now he understands why Liam called him telling him he was under an attack.

    Liam was confused on what to do so he turned to Dn for help which thetter ignored.

    Cecile slowly approached Liam who stood up at the same time, Dn was enjoying the show. Liam looked like a child caught stealing candy.

    Cecile could see how ufortable he was so she simply embraced him.

    Liam was caught off guard, he felt warmth again that feeling that only his mum could give him. ¡°you don¡¯t need to say anything dear I understand¡±.

    Amelia smiled at the sight before her ¡°my daughter told me a lot about you and I¡¯m very grateful¡±.

    Dn excused himself and left the living room to answer a call, Liam felt her pull away after sometime. ¡°you can call me mum just like my silly daughter does¡±.

    ¡°Mum don¡¯t bad mouth me¡± Ameliained.

    Liam smiled at her which made Amelia¡¯s heart beat weirdly, this was the first time she saw his genuine smile.

    ¡°you have raised a very good daughter¡± Liam said through gritted teeth staring at Amelia. ¡°so nice and charming and extremely obedient to everything I say¡± he added.

    Amelia muffled augh she knew exactly that Liam meant the opposite of his words.

    ¡°mum let¡¯s make dinner Liam is a very busy man¡± Amelia said seeing how ufortable Liam was getting by the minutes.

    Cecile ced a kiss on his forehead and left with Amelia.

    Liam watched her back leaving and felt the warmth he felt earlier leaving him. He has longed for his mother¡¯s love for so many years that he really missed her now, how he wished that it was his father in the current state of his mother.

    That murderer had no right to live after what he did to his precious mum. Dn returned back into the living room to see the distress written all over Liam¡¯s face.

    ¡°She is a nicedy don¡¯t get all worked up for nothing¡± Dn tried tofort him.

    Cecile chopped some vegetables while Amelia sat on the kitchen counter eating an apple, The maids were sent out earlier because Cecile doesn¡¯t like sharing the kitchen with anyone else.

    ¡°Amy, he is handsome and he is really a good man I hope you aren¡¯t troubling him?¡±.

    Ameliaughed loudly at her mum¡¯s words, good my foot! she screamed inwardly. ¡°Yeah you can say that¡± she rolled her eyes.

    ¡°But I can¡¯t help but feel his loneliness, where is his family?¡±. Cecile mumbled.

    ¡°He has some problems with his family and he stays alone I can also feel how lonely he is but what can I do when he throws his arrogant self around?¡±.

    Cecile sighed she knew her daughter well. she knew how troublesome Amelia can be. ¡°You are something else, not all girls gets this chance like you do¡±.

    ¡°And by the way call Louisa over I want to see her it¡¯s been so long¡±

    An hourter, the maids helped Amelia and Cecile fill up the long dining table. Liam and Dn could only gulp down their saliva as the mouth watering dishes tortured their noses.

    The door opened suddenly as two other guys stepped in. Liam angrily turned to Dn on why he invited them over, Whenever they were around they create trouble for him. James who was holding a bottle of wine came in together with Steven.

    ¡°oh dear sister inw¡± James called out to Amelia before twirling her around.

    Amelia was startled and surprised she has never seen them before but she could tell that they were close to Liam.

    ¡°You might not know us but we¡¯ve heard a lot from your darling husband!¡±.

    Dn stood in between James and Steven holding their ears ¡°ignore this fools¡± Dn said pulling them away.

    ¡°Hey Liam never told us that his wife was so beautiful in real life¡± Amelia heard one of them speak out making her blush slightly.

    ¡°Aunt¡± Cecile heard a voice behind her and turned to louisa before she could say a word Louisa embraced her tightly.

    James and Steven exchanged meaningful gazes and smiled ¡°Dn is sure to die of a heartbreak before he leaves tonight¡±.

    Cecile stroked Louisa¡¯s hair softly. Louisa saw Cecile as a mother figure her own parents abandoned her at birth.

    Cecile left the dining room and went to the living room where the boys were having a discussion. She walked towards Liam pulling him up with her e on boys dinner is ready¡±.

    Amelia drew out her chair to seat next to her mum but was shooed away by her mum, she was dumbfounded when her mum pulled out the same seat for Liam.

    ¡°Mum that¡¯s not fair¡± Amelia said sitting next to Liam, she really wanted to sit next to her mother to have a hearty chat with her but Mr Arrogant got in the way.

    Louisa pulled out a chair to sit opposite Amelia but Steven took the spot. ¡°Sorry but it¡¯s taken¡± Steven said mischievously.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    She wondered why on earth Liam would have these jokers as friends, they were just trouble to anyone who crosses their paths.

    ¡°freak!¡± she irritably mumbled going to the next seat, ¡°No no¡± James stopped her from sitting ¡°this one is also taken¡± he said winking at her.

    Dn knew what his friends were up to, he couldn¡¯t help but curse inwardly ¡°As a true gentleman I¡¯ll help you get a seat¡±.

    James smiled eerily at her, he held her shoulder walking to a seat next to Dn and guided her to seat. He leaned forward to whisper into her ear ¡°Be careful not to choke on your meal¡±.

    Amelia was feeling envious of the fact that her mum was ignoring her because of someone named ¡°Liam¡± she bunny quoted it.

    Her mouth fell open as Cecile fed Liam his meal and also wiped the smudge on his lips with a napkin. ¡®is he a baby now?¡¯ she screamed inwardly.

    Amelia came back to her senses when she felt a spoonful of food going into her wide opened mouth.

    James grinned teasingly ¡°dear sister inw if you keep your mouth open like that a fly might fly in¡±.

    The room erupted inughter, Amelia blushed hard in embarrassment.

    The house was full of life today thanks to Dn¡¯s friends, for once she could see the happiness in Liam¡¯s eyes and unknowingly got lost staring at him.

    Louisa¡¯s hand knocked down a sauce from the table staining Dn¡¯s white pants after Steven pushed her hand.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry¡± she panicked wiping the stains out with her napkin.

    Dn got up from his seat looking down at his stained pants. ¡°I¡¯ll help you clean ite with me¡± Louisa said leaving with Dn.

    Steven winked at Dn and whispered ¡°thank meter¡±..

    Louisa took out a tissue box from the bathroom cleaning off the stains on Dn¡¯s pants. Dn really didn¡¯t care about the stain he just wanted to talk to her since his mischievous friends already created a perfect alibi.

    ¡°Lou can I say something?¡± Dn inquired.

    Louisa looked up to him ¡°you can say whatever you want to say¡± she simply said and continued taking out tissues.

    Dn lifted her from her crouched position ¡°I don¡¯t know how you will feel if I say this¡±.

    Louisa raised a brow ¡°Why? it¡¯s not like you are about to confess your love to me¡± Louisa jokingly said causing the smile on Dn¡¯s face to freeze.

    Dn forced a chuckle ¡°silly girl what made you think like that?¡±.

    Louisa gave up cleaning his pants ¡°It¡¯s impossible toe off¡± Louisa groaned..

    ..

    Amelia stabbed her steak with her knife chopping it to small pieces, all these while her mum didn¡¯t spare her a nce because of Liam.

    Liam felt like he would burst any moment he waspletely filled up, he didn¡¯t want to hurt his mother inw¡¯s feelings so he continued eating till he felt like a balloon.

    ¡°Should I get more?¡± Cecile asked to receive an immediate answer from Liam ¡°No! mum I¡¯m full already¡±.

    ¡°You know aunt Liam loves it whenever his wife feeds him with her own hands, they are almost inseparable from each other that¡¯s the reason sister-inw is fuming in envy right here, looks like Liam will have some scoldingster¡± James said teasingly that made both Liam and Amelia choke on their meal.

    If looks could kill then James would have been dead by now, he avoided Liam¡¯s gaze and focused on his meal.

    Dn and Louisa returned back to their seats, James didn¡¯t miss the blush on Louisa¡¯s face, he could only imagine what must have transpired between them.

    James stood up with the bottle of wine he was holding, he went around the table filling everyone¡¯s sses. ¡°Now for a toast¡±¡­..

    Liam felt like strangling James his toasts were always absurd and annoying. ¡°To the great news Liam and Amelia will tell us soon enough!¡±

    Liam¡¯s grip on his cup tightened, his sick friend mentioned this again. Cecile smiled happily wiggling her eyebrows at Amelia who was blushing hard at the moment.

    Liam forced a smile at James toast and clicked his ss with his mother inw¡¯s taking a mental note to punish James so severely that he won¡¯t ever say things like that again to anyone.

 Chapter 43_ Jealous

    Amelia ced the hair dryer on the vanity table with a little more force than normal, she couldn¡¯t believe how Liam managed to warm his way into her mum¡¯s heart.

    Liam wondered what was wrong with her, she has been behaving strangely ever since they were at the dining.

    Amelia moved back on the chair causing it to make a screeching noise, Liam was getting irritated by the noise she keeps on making.

    He was currently on a business video call and he was getting distracted by her constant noise, he sighed taking hisptop off to the balcony.

    Amelia was annoyed by his nonchnt behavior and bounced on the bed spreading her arms and legs wide open.

    Liam returned back to the room after he was done with his business call, His eyes fell on Amelia who was sprawled on the bed leaving a little or no space at all.

    Liam grabbed two pillows from the bed and walked towards the sofa he took a big nket from his closet andid down on the sofa.

    Amelia sat up on the bed ¡°Liam you can stay on the bed you might get a cramp lying on the sofa¡± Amelia worriedly said.

    Liam remained unmoved from his current position which only made Amelia wonder if he has slept off already, but that was not possible how could he suddenly fall asleep.

    She came down from the bed and stood beside the sofa Liam was sleeping on. ¡°I admit I was being a bit difficult but what could I do seeing you get all the attention meant for me¡± Amelia whined with crossed arm.

    In the next second she fell on his body bumping her head against his hard chest after Liam pulled her.

    ¡°So you were jealous of the attention your mum was giving me? how childish of you¡±. Amelia ced her head on his chest listening to his heart beat.

    ¡°Yes I was a bit jealous but I¡¯m over it now remember I promised to be nice to you from now on¡± she pulled herself away from him walking towards the bed.

    Immediately Liam¡¯s back touched his bed he dozed off, Amelia heard his deep breathing and raised her head to stare at his sleeping face.

    She supported her head with her elbow, she allowed her fingers caress his midnight ck hair that was so soft and pleasant to touch.

    She nced towards the wall that leads to the secretpartment and stood up walking to the shelf where the tiny golden statue sat still.

    Amelia pulled the dog statue and the wall opened, she looked back at the sleeping Liam once more before going in.

    She entered the dark passage till she got to the room where Liam¡¯s mum was staying. The doctor and nurses were already familiar with her by now and didn¡¯t question her presence.

    She noticed that the various tubes that were attached to her were nowhere to be found except an oxygen mask that aided her to breath.

    ¡°How many more years will you remain this way? your son really needs your love and motherly affection he has been lonely all these years¡±.

    The doctor came over to check on Brianna ¡°Mr Grayson is the one who normallyes around every night I wonder why he didn¡¯te today¡±.

    ¡°Do you know what happened to her?¡± Amelia asked with the hope of getting an answer from him since Liam was being too secretive about everything.

    ¡°No one except her knows anything but all I know is that she has been in this state for the past fifteen years¡± the doctor said and left the two alone.

    For fifteen whole years? that was a bummer. ¡°so this means that Liam has been waiting for fifteen whole years hoping for his mum to wake up¡± she mumbled beneath her breath.

    Amelia gently took Brianna¡¯s frail hand in hers ¡°don¡¯t worry I¡¯m here now I¡¯ll help you look after your son until you wake up¡±.

    Amelia vowed and nted a small kiss at the back Brianna¡¯s hand. She turned around and began walking away. Brianna¡¯s eyes snapped open immediately Amelia turned away..

    ..

    Amelia returned to the room and snuggled close to Liam cing her head on his chest. She slowly drifted into sleep mode.

    Liam opened his eyes slowly the next morning,st night was the first time he had a sound sleep after all these years that passed by.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    He turned to his side to find it empty and cold, his eyes scanned the room for Amelia but he couldn¡¯t find a trace of her.

    He was quite surprised that she wasn¡¯t around to bug him as always, he walked into the bathroom to freshen up without knocking on the door he pulled it and at the same time Amelia pushed open the door.

    She was caught off guard and slipped on the tiled floor, with fast reflexes Liam caught her but slipped also.

    Amelia fell into the bath tub pulling Liam with her. Their gazes locked for a moment before Amelia snapped out of her daze ¡°You should have knocked before opening the door what if I was¡­

    Liam smirked cing his finger to her lips ¡°There¡¯s really nothing to hide before me I¡¯ve seen everything¡±.

    Liam whispered into her ears causing her to shudder, Amelia turned crimson red, must he remind her of that night over and over again?.

    He carefully stood up and supported her to stand on her feet. ¡°Pervert! stop reminding me of that or I¡¯ll sure I break my promise on being nice to you¡±.

    Liam wasn¡¯t threatened by her silly threat, he couldn¡¯t agree less that he didn¡¯t prefer her daring side to her nice side..

    ..

    Amelia sat in front of the vanity table straightening her hair, she looked through the mirror to see Liam going through a file. ¡°Mr Arrogant¡± she called out for Liam to look up from his file.

    ¡°remember when I told you about a new cleaner you should hire? he ruined my car yesterday and I want him to eat dust¡±.

    Liam wondered who the unfortunate person could be. ¡°who is he?¡±. Liam replied with an uninterested tone. ¡°Greg!¡±.

    Liam raised his head to meet her face in the mirror, ¡°Sometimes you have to let things go and stop behaving like a kid¡±.

    Amelia scrunched her face but not at Liam¡¯s words but because of her hair, she really didn¡¯t like straightening her hair. ¡°Seems I need to visit the hair saloon before I go on set¡± she mumbled loud enough for Liam to hear.

    ¡°Don¡¯t waste your time and money¡± he scoffed loudly leaving the room. Amelia gasped turning back to the mirror. ¡°Was that apliment or an insult?¡± she asked herself confusedly.

    Liam hurried down heading out with his guards who were already waiting for him in therge living room. ¡°Liam don¡¯t leave without having your breakfast¡±. He stopped in his tracks and turned to Cecile who was smiling at him sweetly.

    ¡°Good morning¡± liam let out a small smile that made him look like he was holding a fart. ¡°Good morning dear¡± Cecile returned back his greetings collecting his briefcase she led him to the dining table.

    Liam didn¡¯t have the heart to refute her kind gestures and offers, he became curious on why Amelia was full of trouble and mischief when her mother was so nice and caring.

    He opened his mouth eating from the spoon she used to feed him, Amelia came down to join them for breakfast and again her mum didn¡¯t spare her a nce.

    ¡°Good morning mum¡± Amelia greeted her mum taking a seat next to Liam. ¡°Good morning sweetheart¡±.

    Amelia collected the spoon from her mum ¡°Mum he is my husband not yours I¡¯ll feed him myself since he is now a big baby¡±

    Cecile scolded Amelia with her eyes which made Amelia roll her eyes.

    Liam nced at his wrist watch and stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll be on my way now I¡¯m a bitte for a meeting¡±

    They heard a hurried and fast paced footsteps heading their way, Liam turned back to see his assistant panting heavily. ¡°Boss there is a huge problem¡±.

    ¡°What is it Lucas?¡± Liam ordered. Lucas breathed out ¡°A part of thepany has been burnt badly, we suspect it was done by one of our rivalpanies¡±. Liam¡¯s eyes reddened in anger.

 Chapter 44_ His other side

    Liam arrived at hispany that was already crowded outside, the fire brigades were trying to put off the fire while the media¡¯s flocked around the scene.

    His guards parted ways for him through the crowds as he stepped forward to get a clearer view..

    ..

    ra walked towards the boss who was watching the news with a smirk stered on his thin lips. ¡°You know messing with Liam Grayson means death for you, do you have a death wish? I have seen this man ruin people¡¯s lives with a single phone call¡±.

    Karl swiftly got up from his seat and walked towards the window overlooking the city from it. His eyes turned viscous ¡°if he hadn¡¯t gotten involved in my affairs then I wouldn¡¯t have done that¡±.

    ra stood beside and hesitated to speak for a while. ¡°Your aim was Amelia Hart, you know how powerful Liam Grayson is? it will only take him a snap of his fingers to find out who is responsible for this and guess what? he won¡¯t spare you¡±.

    Karl suddenly gripped her chin pushing her backwards till she felt her back on the wall ¡°Do you think I¡¯m a fool? there¡¯s no way Liam will find out and besides I have him where I wanted him to be¡±.

    Karl grinned evilly ¡°Now his whole attention will be focused on hispany which means Amelia Hart will be all alone¡±.

    ra pulled his hand off her chin, she could barely move a muscle around that area due to his tight grip. ¡°what exactly did she do to warrant such hatred from you?¡±.

    Karl turned his back at her walking towards his table, he picked up a lighter and ignited it. ¡°All I can tell you is that destiny works in mysterious ways¡±.

    His brown eyes were filled with the mixture of anger and hatred.

    ..

    .

    Amelia stopped in front of Liam¡¯spany, it was indeed really crowded just like she saw on the news, she knew how much Liam has done for him toe this far in the business world and she wouldn¡¯t stand it if someone was to destroy all his hard work.

    Her guards stopped her from going into the crowd ¡°If you try to stop me I¡¯ll make you pay dearly¡±.

    ¡°Ma¡¯am you can be attacked in the crowd, boss asked us to never let you out alone¡± one of the guardsmented.

    Amelia took out a pepper spray can from her purse ¡°if anyone of you want to get blind be the first to step forward¡± she threatened and began walking away into the crowd.

    Amelia squeezed her way through the crowd identally knocking down a reporters camera ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡± she apologized picking it up.

    ¡°you are Amelia Hart the actress¡± The reporter suddenly blurted shing his camera at her. Amelia smiled but she has something else to do now so she shushed him and went further.

    She saw Liam from a distance answering the reporters question as she was about to move towards him she saw a reporter sneaking backwards towards the building¡¯s back entrance.

    Amelia found his attitude suspicious and strange and followed him. The reporter ran to the building and pulled out his phone. ¡°Boss I nned everything in a way that nobody will ever trace it to you, Liam Grayson won¡¯t be able to get out of this mess anytime soon¡±.

    Amelia pulled his shirt from behind and pt him immediately he faced her. ¡°you are responsible for all this¡±. She threw another pt to his face again.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

    The man pulled Amelia towards him with a table knife against her throat, Amelia stopped moving when she felt the sharp side of the knife on her neck.

    She heard his irritatingughter torturing her ears. ¡°You foolish woman, now wait and see what the boss is gonna do to you I¡¯m going to be rich who knew that you would stupidlye out here¡±.

    Amelia stepped on his foot and pushed him with all her might till he hit the ground, she picked up a handful of sand throwing it at his face before running out of there.

    The man groaned on the floor as he massaged both his toes and eyes. Amelia ran till she was mixed in the crowd again, her ankles were hurting from running on heels. She bent down to take them off.

    A loud gunshot was heard before everywhere turned rowdy, Amelia cursed silently she was only able to take one of her heels off. Her guards were scattered everywhere looking for her after they heard the gunshot.

    Liam was guided into the car immediately after the shot was fired, now his suspicion was right this was a well nned scheme. His car was already moving away when he saw Amelia guards moving around.

    ¡°Stop the car!¡± he ordered getting off the moment it stopped.

    The guards saw their master approaching them with hurried footsteps, everyone were running for their dear lives which made it difficult for them to spot Amelia. ¡°what are you all doing here?¡± He asked impatiently.

    They bowed their head down with fear, ¡°boss miss came here to see you but she is nowhere to be seen¡±. Liam fisted his hand by his side that was turning white by the second.

    ¡°What do you mean by that? your job is to protect her from¡­..

    Liam yelled in anger and remembered the gun shot that was fired few minutes back. ¡°shit!¡± he cursed kicking his car¡¯s tire in anger.

    Liam looked around it was empty now except from he and his guards that were still present, his eyes spotted a shiny object a few metres from where they were. He walked towards it to find a silver heel.

    He picked it up examining it closely, this was the same heel she dragged with her friend. ¡°boss ma¡¯am wore that heel today¡±..

    ..

    Amelia opened her heavy eyelids, her head was hurting badly. ¡°Oh goodness!¡± she mumbled. She slowly sat up to examine her surroundings she was knocked out on their way here because she was throwing in a fit.

    She found herself in a strange ce and before she could get up, two men ran to her and tied her to a chair.

    Amelia furrowed her brows struggling to get out of the chair ¡°Hey let me go!¡± she yelled at them but soon realized that she wasn¡¯t alone in the room.

    Karl smiled in satisfaction seeing his biggest enemy sitting in front of him, ra walked into the room and sat on Karl¡¯sps. Amelia blinked in confusion, wasn¡¯t she the super fan who blew her cover the other day?.

    ra felt sorry for Amelia but her hands has been tied there was nothing she could do to help her.

    Amelia had a strange feeling that she knew who this guy was his brown eyes reminded her of someone and that was her dad!.

    Karl lifted ra out of hisps walking towards Amelia in slow steps. ¡°Why am I tied up here like a thief? let me out this minute¡± Amelia said struggling to untie herself.

    Karl ced a palm over her mouth to keep her from saying anything further, Amelia bit his palm causing him to flinch from the sudden sharp pain. ¡°You bitch!¡± he pt her in anger.

    ¡°You should thank your stars that I¡¯m tied up here if not I¡¯ll show you what I do to people who dares to bully me¡± Amelia said through gritted teeth, nobody has raised their hand to her before now.

    Karl¡¯s blood boiled in anger, she was still the same as always he grasped her chin bringing her face upward to face him. ¡°Don¡¯t you remember me?¡±.

    Amelia kneeled him below the belt which made him groan in pain. ra ran to him helping him up. ¡°Hey listen actress don¡¯t try to y smart you will die soon anyway!¡±.

    Karl stood up clenching his teeth in pain and anger. ¡°super fan my butt! so all of this was your n? so if you were after me why on earth did you involve Liam Grayson?. Amelia demanded.

    ra left Karl¡¯s side and pulled Amelia¡¯s hair backwards ¡°That¡¯s because he was getting in our way just be lucky that we didn¡¯t kill him¡±.

    One of Karl¡¯s henchmen stepped forward with a gallon of petrol and a lighter handing it over to Karl..

    ..

    Cecile was sobbing gently in Liam¡¯s embrace, all these Feelings were new to Liam he actually didn¡¯t know how tofort thedy who was depending on him to find her daughter.

    His phone rang on the table beside him, he took a nce at it and sat up straight it was a video call and also from an unknown number.

    The call went through and the first thing he saw was Amelia tied up on a chair with a ring of fire around her.

    He could hear a male voice from the background ¡°Liam Grayson you must be wondering who I am but that doesn¡¯t matter she is about to die but surprisingly she wanted to talk to you first before she leaves this world¡±.

    Cecile let out a shrill cry looking at her daughter surrounded by fire. ¡°Won¡¯t you say anything to her?¡± Karl asked impatiently.

    Amelia smiled mischievously at his face on the screen ¡°Mr Arrogant don¡¯t listen to what this fool is saying, I read a fortune cookie that said I will live a long life so I won¡¯t die anytime soon¡±

    Liam couldn¡¯t believe thisdy, she was at the brink of death and she was joking around with that smile that meant danger.

    ¡°Please tell my mum that I won¡¯t die now I¡¯m sure she must be crying her eyes out believe me she more dramatic than I am and besides two of my heels fell off today please help me find them you know how much I fought before I could get them¡± she winked at him.

    Karl¡¯s face returned to the screen ¡°I¡¯m still confused on what rtionship you both share to act so casual with each other¡±.

    ¡°If anything happens to her I¡¯ll make sure you don¡¯t live to see another day¡± Liam threatened..

    ..

    Amelia coughed out continuously, the fire was getting nearer now and the smoke was going into her eyes. ¡°Hey Karl I never felt remorse for whatever I did to you years ago¡± Amelia said smiling.

    Karl stood up walking towards her but choked back when he inhaled the strong choking smoke surrounding Amelia.

    He took the gallon pouring more petrol around her. ¡°Now you¡¯ll die soon enough and no one will ever find out how you died¡±.

    Amelia grinned ¡°Wait and see Karl! Mr Arrogant won¡¯t spare you once he finds out exactly where I am so you have the opportunity to flee now why you can¡±..

    ..

    ¡°Boss we couldn¡¯t trace the call¡±.

    Liam stood up immediately as if realizing something, Amelia was a smartdy and she wouldn¡¯t give up so easily he knew how much she loves winning. His eyes returned to the heel on the table.

    He smirked realizing what she meant earlier by finding her other heel. ¡°Smart¡± he mumbled heading out with his guards.

    Karl felt threatened by Amelia¡¯s smile, it was really creeping him out. He could barely see her face behind the cloud of smoke, he could only see her determined eyes and smile.

    Amelia closed her eyes praying silently ¡°Liam please follow the clues I left on the way, I¡¯m sure he is smart enough to understand the meaning of my words¡±. She silently mumbled.

    In the next minute a part of the room was blown to bits.

 Chapter 45_ Smiles

    Old Grayson was fuming in anger while he watched the news, Angie nced at Nichs meaningfully nodding at him. ¡°Grandpa see for yourself how ipetent Liam is! our stocks might drop if this isn¡¯t taken care of¡±.

    Nichs said hoping to poison his grand father¡¯s mind against Liam.

    Mark faced his father ¡°father this isn¡¯t Liam¡¯s fault, ident happen and I¡¯m sure it was nothing more than an ident¡±. Mike defended.

    Old Grayson stood up looking at Nichs ¡°time and time again Liam has proven to be the ck sheep of the family stop trying to defend him every now and then¡±.

    Mark sighed walking to his father ¡°What are you talking about? Liam has put every drop of his sweat and blood to make ourpanies go high and stand out in the business world¡±.

    ¡°isn¡¯t it weird that you are doing everything to defend the boy who doesn¡¯t see you as a father that son of yours hates you to the moon and back!¡± Angie scorned.

    Mark raised his hand to silence her ¡°your opinion is not needed here now! why don¡¯t you train Nichs to be a better person instead and let me see how far he will go!¡± Mark spat back.

    Old Grayson banged his staff on the table for the couples to keep quiet. ¡°I have heard enough of you two the only thing left is for Liam to step down from his current position as the CEO of thepany!¡±.

    The mother and son duo stared at each other in shock and disbelief..

    ..

    Amelia coughed out loudly, she couldn¡¯t see anything going on in front of her all she could see was the fire that was alreadying close to her side, Hot sweat broke out from her body as she felt the heat of the fire hitting her skin.

    She could only hear the sound of bones cracking and cries of pleas.

    Liam entered the room where Amelia was tied up, the fire was already spreading, his eyes showed fear when he saw how she was struggling to breathe.

    Some of his guards were fighting off Karl¡¯s men while the rest were with him, ¡°Go and get some water hurry!¡± he ordered.

    Amelia¡¯s head fell backwards gasping for breath, she was quite relieved when she heard his voice and she was also happy that Liam was able to find her. ¡°Liam¡± she called out softly.

    Liam pulled off his coat wrapping it around himself and jumped into the fire where Amelia was tied up.

    He threw his coat down that was starting to burn stepping on it to quench the fire, his gaze returned to Amelia who was gasping for air. He started untying her from the chair, her head fell forward towards him.

    Amelia smelt his familiar scent and slowly opened her eyes ¡°you came¡± she smiled at him before closing her eyes.

    ¡°open your eyes!¡± he called out tapping her chin, Amelia passed out feeling secured that he was around.

    Liam embraced Amelia after a cold water sshed on them, the fire around them slowly quenched after his guards threw water to quench the fire around them

    ¡°Get the car ready!¡± He ordered lifting Amelia up.

    ..

    Liam tapped her chin gently for her to wake up ¡°Amelia open your eyes¡± he whispered gently.

    He saw her eyelids move a bit before her lips drew into a thin smile. ¡°For the first time you called my name¡± she mumbled coughing out slightly.

    Liam stared at her in disbelief, she wasn¡¯t wrong though he really hasn¡¯t address her by her name before now. ¡°Crazy girl!¡± he muttered..

    ..

    The doctor came out of Amelia¡¯s ward walking to Liam ¡°Mr Grayson she is out of danger for now, her lungs were filled with smoke, she is under observation for now¡±.

    Liam sighed in relief ¡°How long will it take for her to recoverpletely?¡± Liam inquired.

    ¡°She will recover within a week¡±.

    Liam nodded in response ¡°Good¡± he mumbled leaving the hospital, he had some unfinished business to deal with..

    ..

    Karl stared at the ground avoiding the gaze of the man in front of him. ¡°I know how to get words out of people like you¡± Liam barked at Karl. He rolled up his sleeves and took off his tie.

    Liam picked up a long whip from the table walking to Karl who was tied to a pir in an underground room he uses to torture people like him, Karl let out a shrill groan when the whip met his skin. The piece of clothing surrounding that area tore because of the impact.

    ra continued sobbing watching how Liam thrashed Karl, Liam continued whipping him until he decided to speak. ¡°Let me speak! I¡¯ll say everything!¡± Karl cried out.

    He couldn¡¯t tolerate anymore beatings from Liam again. ¡°I¡¯m all ears¡± Liam responded pulling a chair to sit in front of Karl.

    Karl spat out blood before facing Liam ¡°It started years ago when I was about nine years of age I was searching for my dad and was lost in the big city. That was when I saw Amelia with her parents and worst of all the man in the photo I was holding was happily walking with the mother and daughter¡±. Kyle paused letting out a soft sigh. Liam was suddenly piqued by his story he could foresee an unexpected twist about toe.

    ¡°I went forward to approach them but wasbeled as a mad street boy who picked a photograph from a studio¡¯s waste bin, few dayster my mother and I saw Amelia rescuing an unconscious boy from a fire we went over to help but my mum was pushed into the fire that imed her life and made me spend my childhood days at the orphanage yearster I found my biological father but I was denied of my right as an heir all because of Amelia, my father had willed everything under her name and the only way to get everything back was only if she was dead¡±.

    Liam rxed back on his seat, he knew this story has a twist ¡°So in other words you were trying to kill your step sister?¡±.

    Karl spat in disgust ¡°I lost my mother because of her and I was deprived of my father¡¯s love and my rights¡±..

    ..

    Liam held the blueprints of his building that was destroyed today ¡°The construction should start as soon as possible¡± Liam ordered giving the blueprints back to his assistant.

    ¡°Liam!¡± old Grayson called out through gritted teeth.

    Liam could tell why his grandfather was here, he turned around to meet his gray orbs that were glowing in anger and it wasn¡¯t only him it looks like the rest invited themselves too.

    ¡°One thing I hate the most is uninvited guests¡± Liam said in disdain walking towards his window looking out. he would rather look out staring at nothing than to stare at their faces.

    He felt a tight embrace that encircled his legs, he knew who it was the only one apart from Amelia who wasn¡¯t scared toe close to him. ¡°Big bro I wasn¡¯t able to meet you thest time you came around¡±. Little Chloe said cutely.

    Liam turned around and gave her a mean look which she totally ignored and tightened the embrace more. ¡°Chloee here this instant!¡± Angie barked angrily at her stubborn daughter.

    ¡°What gave you all the right to step into my home whereas I already forbade you from doing so¡±.

    ¡°we aren¡¯t interested in staying in your home, I havee to make this announcement to you I know you wouldn¡¯te if I asked you to so I have decided to¡­..

    ¡°Take away my position as the CEO of ourpany? before you guys made that decision and barged into my home did you forget that my mother merged herpany with yours?¡± Liam chipped inpleting old Grayson¡¯s words.

    Mark lowered his gaze even he was a little scared to maintain high contact with his son, that was how sour their rtionship has gone. ¡°yes she did but¡­

    ¡°No buts! my mum willed herpanies into my name and as my right as the first grandson of your family I have everything willed to my name so what makes you think that you can snatch what I worked hard for from me?¡±.

    Liam barked angrily at them rendering them all speechless. ¡°But we¡¯ve seen how careless you are when it came to handling thepany of recent¡± Nichs added.

    ¡°So do you think you are capable of handling thepany more than me? well then first you have to be a real man andstly I can¡¯t let an illegitimate son handle thepany that I have worked hard for¡±.

    The room fell quiet as Liam¡¯s words reyed in their minds.

    ¡°And before I loose my cool you all should leave this instant and never show your face in my house!¡± he added.

    ¡°Son it¡¯s not like¡­

    Liam was irked when mark addressed him as his son ¡°I don¡¯t have a father only a mother and I don¡¯t want anything to do with your family and if you think that I¡¯ll leave my mum¡¯spany in your hands then you all her big time jokers¡±.

    Old Grayson clutched his staff tightly, he couldn¡¯t believe the hatred Liam had for the people who gave him a name, he was equally at fault for what was going on how he wished Brianna was still alive to see the man her son has turned out to be.

    In all of themotion going on Nichs mind wasn¡¯t really there his eyes was scanning the whole ce for Amelia, a glimpse was even enough for him.

    Angie was agitated when Liam addressed her son as illegitimate.

    Liam walked out on them ignoring the kid that was calling after him.

    Cecile watched in awe and surprise, how can a whole family turn against there son this way? No one will ever believe that such a reputable family can have such crisis among them.

    She just hope they leave before her drama queen daughteres down from her sickbed to create a scene.

    ¡°That cursed boy! mark did you hear that? you love defending him don¡¯t you? did you see the way he spoke to father? and he called our son illegitimate!¡± Angie barked, Liam was biting more than he can chew.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Mark sat down on the couch bowing his head down in agony, how would he face the world once they find out that his son sees him as a murderer? he couldn¡¯t stand it.

    ¡°he still believes that I¡¯m responsible for his mother¡¯s death, but how can I exin this to him? he can¡¯t even stand me so how on earth can he listen to me?¡± Mark sobbed.

    ¡°So Brianna willed everything to Liam¡¯s name before she died? howe you never told me? my son would have been the owner of those riches¡± Angie mumbled.

    Old Grayson nced at his son and shook his head at his pitiable condition. ¡°Why are you getting emotional? The son¡¯s of the Grayson¡¯s never cries, have you seen Liam cry? so why would you? wipe those tears off¡±. old Grayson scolded.

    ¡°Father mark is always pitiable he gets emotional whenever he remembers that witch and he is trying to atone for his son¡¯s by caring for her pathetic son¡±.

    ¡°What is going on here?¡±

 Chapter 46_ You arenâ€™t that bad

    Amelia gently came down from the stairs and stood in front of them. She was greatly surprised that they were in Liam¡¯s house.

    Nichs was all smiles when he saw the face of the person that he has been dying to see all day.

    Angie rolled her eyes at Amelia, she still hasn¡¯t forgotten how Amelia insulted her few days back. She wondered what her son saw in thisdy that he keeps dreaming and talking about all day long, she could only imagine what Liam would do to nick once he finds out that Nichs has an interest in his wife.

    Old Grayson stared at her from her head to the sole of her feet and left the room, his grandson¡¯s new wife was too daring for his likeness.

    Amelia walked towards the little girl that was ogling at her. ¡°hello¡± she waved before pulling Chloe¡¯s cheeks.

    ¡°Do you know big brother?¡± she asked which made Amelia confused.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    She turned to Nichs for some exnations on who the little girl was. ¡°She is my younger sister¡± Nichs said almost immediately.

    Angie red at Amelia e on son we have other important things to do take Chloe out with you¡±.

    Nichs nodded turning to Amelia once more before he left the room with Chloe.

    ¡°Mark let¡¯s go home¡± Angie said more like an order, she doesn¡¯t want her son and husband to fall into this conniving girl¡¯s charm.

    Mark walked towards Amelia and stroked her hair lovingly ¡°Please don¡¯t leave Liam during this difficult times, he has gone through a lot in his life¡± mark pleaded.

    Amelia nodded at his words and watched his dejected back leaving the room. Angie turned around to leave. ¡°I heard everything you said to Liam, how do you sleep at night when your heart is so full of anger and hatred to your step son?¡±.

    Angie swiftly turned to the youngdy with a menacing gaze ¡°I don¡¯t think your mum taught you how to behave with your elders¡±.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare bring my mum into any of this!¡± Amelia raised her voice a little.

    Cecile facepalmed herself, her daughter was just too much. She hesitateding out from her hiding ce for a while, she took in a deep breathe before mustering enough courage to step out.

    Angie was taken aback on the tone Amelia responded to her words. ¡°I really pity you child, Liam will only toy with your life and abandon you like a piece of junk, or perhaps you don¡¯t have a mum to knock some sense into you just like Liam?¡±

    ¡°She has a mum! and I support my daughter¡¯s choice, if she wants to be with Liam then she have my consent¡±.

    Angie¡¯s head snapped to the person who just appeared, she stared at thedy who must be the same age as her. ¡°Aren¡¯t you shameless? you brought your mum over to suck out some parts of the Grayson¡¯s wealth!¡± Angie spat in disgust and left the room.

    Cecile turned to her daughter pulling her ear slightly ¡°Amy! you are bing more difficult to handle, who asked you to get out of bed? you are still weak¡±..

    ..

    Liam walked into his bedroom, his eyes rested on Amelia who was pretending to be asleep. ¡°Can I have a word with you?¡±.

    Amelia snapped her eyes open and sat up on the bed, she was feeling really dizzy. ¡°Yeah but if it¡¯s about the way I spoke to your stepmom then I¡¯ll pass¡±.

    Liam walked over to the couch adjacent to the bed ¡°Do you recall where you first met Karl?¡± Liam¡¯s interrogative gaze pierced through her.

    Amelia cleared her throat ¡°I guess when we were younger, why? what happened?¡±.

    ¡°He only tried to kill you to avenge his mother¡¯s death, he imed that you pushed his mum into the fire when they were trying to help you move an unconscious boy¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s brows furrowed getting out of the bed ¡°No that wasn¡¯t the case Liam I only did that out of self defense, that woman held a knife and tried to stab me with it, I really didn¡¯t mean to push her into the fire¡±.

    ¡°Where is he I¡¯m going to kill him for what he tried to do with me¡± Amelia said about to stomp out of the room, Liam stood up stopping her from leaving the room.

    ¡°crazy girl! he did all that because he thought you were responsible for killing his mum¡±.

    ¡°So? the fact is that his mom tried to kill me and today he came after my life for an ident that wasmitted years ago who does he think he is?¡±.

    ¡°He is your step brother¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes widened so as her mouth, ¡°What?¡±.

    ¡°He tried telling you and your parents years ago but he was never given a chance to exin anything¡±.

    ¡°That day at the chapel before during the fire incident, he tried telling me about it but I just ignored his words! where is mum?¡± She mumbled and left the bedroom hurriedly.

    Meanwhile Liam was lost in thought, he drew out his phone from his pant pockets ¡°Lucas I need you to find out what exactly happened eleven years ago at the chapel that caught fire, I need the report within an hour¡±.

    He needed to confirm his suspicion about that fire incident..

    ..

    .

    Jane stared at Greg whoy aimlessly on the couch staring into space. ¡°Greg the earlier you leave the city, the better for you¡±.

    Greg turned his head to her ¡°leave the city? isn¡¯t it weird that I left thedy I cherished so much because of you and now you are following another guy?!¡±.

    Jane narrowed her eyes down at him ¡°Were you expecting me to stay with a looser like you forever? I didn¡¯t force you to leave Amelia you chose that path yourself because you couldn¡¯t control your lust!¡±.

    Greg hawled a vase at her in anger which she dodged just in time. ¡°Have you lost your mind? do you really think that I love you? no way! I only wanted to snatch you away from Amelia because I can¡¯t stand to see thatdy happy¡±. Jane said through gritted teeth.

    Greg moved back a little, he didn¡¯t know that he has been living with a demon in human form. ¡°Now she is Liam Grayson¡¯s wife, your envy pushed her to greener pastures how are you going to bring her down this time?¡±

    Jane¡¯s jaw clenched staring ahead of her ¡°the only reason Liam got married to Amelia was because of a stand and now a stand will also ruin their lives, I¡¯m sure that they aren¡¯t into each other they are simply saving their reputation by staying together¡±.

    Greg got up from the bed ¡°What are you nning to do? haven¡¯t you done enough?¡± Greg barked at her.

    ¡°No! I have lost my sense of reasoning! Just the same way I snatched you from her, I will also snatch Liam Grayson and believe me I¡¯ll make it happen¡±.

    In a fit of rage Greg pt Jane ¡°Just wait I will make your evil intentions known to Amelia¡±.

    Jane panicked when he was about to leave the room, picking up a vase from the table she hurled it at his head.

    Greg groaned in pain holding his head till he hit the ground bleeding profusely. ¡°You are really a fool Greg!¡±.

    She turned her back against him ¡°And now for Nichs Grayson! he might think that I¡¯m his pawn to separate Amelia from Liam so that he can have her but i want to see Ameliapletely shattered and deserted by everyone she loves¡±.

    She walked towards Greg who remained still on the ground ¡°it wouldn¡¯t have gotten to this if you hadn¡¯t tried to be a hero¡±..

    ..

    Cecile dropped her bag and rushed to Amelia after she stumbled ¡°Amy! what are you doing downstairs? I asked you to stay in bed you haven¡¯t recovered yet!¡±. Cecile scolded guiding her to sit.

    Amelia stood up ¡°Mum remember when I was young a boy had approached us with a picture of dad iming to be his son!¡±.

    Cecile¡¯s face remained unchanged as she listened to her daughter, nothing about her ex husband surprises her anymore.

    ¡°Hmm I remember¡± Cecile nodded in affirmation.

    ¡°Well he was right! he is dad¡¯s son¡±

    Cecile held her daughter¡¯s shoulder ¡°Honey I knew that boy was telling the truth because I knew the kind of person your dad was¡±.

    Amelia stared back in disbelief ¡°Mum! how could you? if you had said something that day he wouldn¡¯t have lost his mother and my life wouldn¡¯t have been at risk today¡±.

    Cecile sighed ¡°I knew how much you loved your dad and I didn¡¯t want you to find a reason to hate him¡±.

    Amelia closed her eyes and let out a soft sigh ¡°Mum!¡± she called out softly.

    Cecile pulled Amelia into her embrace ¡°I did it for your own good, it¡¯s totally fine if you are willing to ept him as your brother, I¡¯ll always support you¡±.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a littlete for that?¡± The mother and daughter snapped their heads to the door.

 Chapter 47_ Not all stepmomâ€™s are bad

    Karl staggered in with a few guards tailing him, ra held his waist to support his movement. Cecile looked away from Karl.

    Thest thing she wanted to see now was a boy that looked exactly like her husband. Karl didn¡¯t miss the change in expression of Cecile, he misjudged it as anger.

    ¡°The deed is already done now Mrs Hart¡± Karl scorned walking towards Cecile.

    ¡°what do you mean?¡± Cecile asked with little or no emotion in her voice.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it toote to feel remorse?¡±

    ¡°I know that my actions were wrong¡± Cecile admitted.

    Karl shook his head ¡°No you weren¡¯t wrong, you just did what a typical step mother would¡±.

    Amelia raised her hand to stop him from speaking further ¡°Karl not all step mom¡¯s are bad there¡¯s something that you were not aware of that day, your mum tried to kill me with a knife I tried to resist the attack but then she slipped and fell into the fire¡±.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Karl let out a smirk ¡°And that case was sealed up! I had to spend my childhood days without a mother¡±.

    Amelia was moved by his words she could feel the pain behind his words. ¡°Karl give us a chance to relieve you of the pain we¡¯ve caused you¡±..

    ..

    Liam¡¯s lips curved upwards staring at the report on his table. ¡°Boss it was the same fire incident that you were involved in¡± Lucas said with a bow.

    Liam adjusted his tie, drifting into the past.

    FLASHBACK

    Liam coughed out loudly screaming for help, no one wasing forth for help. He hade to the chapel earlier today to pray for his sick mom to recover.

    No one other than he and his nanny knew that his mum was alive.

    His lips quivered in fright, the fire was spreading rapidly around his surrounding before he knew what was going on a small part of the building fell down on him.

    Liam sobbed and screamed for help choking from both the thick smoke and dust that filled the air.

    He finally gave up screaming and when he was about to loose his consciousness, he felt himself being pulled out slowly.

    And that was all he could remember that fateful day.

    End of shback

    That memory were imprinted deep in his mind, ¡°did you find out how that fire started?¡± Liam inquired to receive a nod.

    Later that night¡­..

    Amelia waited patiently for Liam to return, she checked the time again and sighed. she pulled out her phone and tried his line but it didn¡¯t go through.

    Shey down back on the bed and soon drifted into sleep. The door opened and Liam stepped in with a gift box on his hand.

    He took a nce at her and walked over the table cing the box on it.

    He quickly changed into his sleepwear andid beside Amelia who felt the bed sank at the other end.

    She inched closer to him and snuggled beside him with her head on his chest. ¡°you came back sote, where were you? Amelia murmured in her sleepy state.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t get the chance to thank you for saving my life, I owe you a lot¡± she opened her eyes and nted a kiss on his lips.

    ¡°that¡¯s my way of saying thank you¡±.

    Liam stared at the ceiling ¡°I also owe you a lot, years back you risked your life just to save mine, because of that I¡¯m forever grateful¡±.

    Amelia raised her head in shock ¡°Mr Arrogant? were you the boy I saved from that fire?¡± Amelia sat up staring at him with a gleam in her eyes.

    Liam nodded at her words. ¡°Thank you¡± he said to see Amelia dramatically passed out.

    ¡°Maybe I¡¯m still dreaming¡± she pinched herself ¨¤nd cried out after reality hit her.

    ¡°Crazy girl!¡± Liam mumbled.

    A lightening jolted Amelia out of her thoughts, Liam smirked finally he found something that she was scared of.

    Amelia almost glued her body with Liam and raised the duvet to cover her face.

    She heard Liam chuckle and pinched his arm ¡°it¡¯s not funny Liam¡±.

    Soon it began to pour heavily the room was so cold, Amelia turned her back again him and moved backwards towards, taking his arm she ced it on her waist.

    Liam gulped down, she was trying to ignite another fire that he would have to quench with a cold bath.

 Chapter 48_ A passionate night

    ***WARNING MATURED CONTENTS AHEAD SKIP IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE****

    ***********YOUR HUMBLE AUTHOR¡­. BLUE*****

    Amelia ced her hand on his when she felt him retracting his hand from her slender . She turned on the bed to face him.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    Liam wasn¡¯t expecting her sudden movement causing the tip of her nose to brush against his lips.

    Amelia flushed red and met his alluring eyes that was pulling her to him.

    She leaned forward and nted a soft kiss on his lips for a few seconds shocking herself. Liam pulled her back into his arms and devoured her lips like he had been starved for years.

    A small breathless whisper escaped her lips after Liam pulled back from his assault on her lips. ¡°don¡¯t start what you can¡¯t finish¡±.

    She could feel his warm breathe caressing her ears that gained birth to a swarm of butterflies in her stomach.

    Amelia snapped out of her daze, her heart was beating in a weird manner. She got a glimpse of the smirk stered on his handsome face and suddenly went on top of him straddling him.

    Liam who initially thought that his wife had given up was rmed, he knew he would be the one to suffer the consequencester. He tried to pull her off but before he could do so, his daring wife beat him to it.

    ¡°I make sure to finish whatever I start so Mr Arrogant don¡¯t think that I¡¯m going to let you win especially not now¡±.

    Liam was still trying to decipher what she meant by that when he felt her soft lips against his. Her hand went around his neck pulling him forward to further deepen the kiss that she initiated.

    Liam answered her kisses with the same passion as hers. Her mounds crashed against his hard and firm chest teasingly.

    Their tongues danced and synced together as both of them were fighting for dominance since none of them were willing to back down.

    Amelia felt his lips leaving hers, she felt his warm breath on her neck. Liam trailed small kisses along the underside of her neck.

    She bent her head a little giving him ess to explore every nook and cranny of her slender fair and smooth neck.

    His hands slipped into her pyjamas caressing her throbbing mounds, molding and reshaping them to satisfaction small moan escaped her lips which sounded like music to his ears.

    Amelia knew well that she might regret this tomorrow morning but her stubborn body refused to listen to her mind. Liam saw her pyjamas as an obstacle on his way, with a single pull her chest was bare before him.

    Her cheeks flushed pink in embarrassment, she brought her hand to hide her mounds from his eyes that were staring at them greedily like someone with evil intentions and she was right the next second Liam pinned her to the bed with him on top of her.

    A sigh escaped her lips from the sudden position, her hands caressed his hard and firm chest that was almost bare before her.

    How she had wished to touch his firm and chiseled chest whenever he appears with a towel in front of her and now she finally had the chance, her fingers unbuttoned his shirt revealing his perfect abs before her eyes.

    Liam took one of her buds into his mouth sucking vigorously while slowly caressing her other hardened bud with his fingers. She arched her back towards him granting him every ess he needed to go further.

    She let out a soft moan as her hand travelled into his soft hair which she loved caressing.

    He reced her mounds with her lips taking her by surprise, Amelia felt something poking her abdomen and gulped. Liam continued his assault on her lips gliding his deft fingers down her back and nted his hand firmly on her behind squeezing the soft flesh.

    He left her lips and gently pulled off her pyjamas pants which Amelia bury her face in his chest biting her lower lips softly in embarrassment.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to feel shy I¡¯ve already seen everything about you remember¡­¡±

    Amelia shut his mouth with her fiery kisses, she didn¡¯t want Liam to remind her of that night again.

    Liam chuckled at her in between small kisses. Their was a sudden gush of wind which brushed through their body.

    Liam felt his lower part hardening by the minutes, his fingers swept over her most guarded area that was starting to get wet, Amelia let out a loud moan.

    She was feeling different wave of pleasures at that minute which made her mind stop functioning for the time being.

    He trailed small kisses from her neck down to her mounds and settled on her t tummy. His gazended on the shiny jewelry on her navel. He nted a kiss on it.

    He met her misty eyes that were begging him to end the torture but he smirked in return. He was only getting started with his teasing.

    Liam¡¯s hand went to the side of her waist sliding down her pinkcy panty that was the only piece of clothing on her.

    Amelia crossed her legs and brought her hands to close her womanhood from his eyes. He took her hands and pinned them above her head with a single hand while the other gently parted her legs to have a clearer view of her hidden treasure.

    She closed her eyes in pleasure when she felt his hot and wet kisses trailing down her thighs. ¡°Liam¡­.¡± she whispered which sounded more like a moan to his ears.

    He pulled back from his torturing little kisses and grinned at her which made her heart beat faster than normal.

    Her eyes closed back in pleasure as Liam gently licked her down there. ¡°ummm¡­. Liam¡­ please¡±.

    He remained adamant to her words using his tongues to separate the lips of her sex. He sucked andpped her juice making her moan his name in pure pleasure.

    Amelia felt like bursting with pleasure she had never knew existed until now, she clutched onto his hair as his tongue thrusted in and out of her.

    Liam stood up and took off his pants and briefs before he returned to her, Amelia gulped down when she saw his shaft that stood proudly before her. ¡°will that really fit into me?¡± Amelia blurted out in shock.

    it was really huge and she doubted if it will really fit into her. ¡°it is only obedient to certain people¡±. He whispered into her ears.

    Amelia¡¯s curious hands took his long shaft into her palm gliding over it slowly. Liam closed his eyes in pleasure, he knew she would be the end of him. Her pace was really slow he knew she was teasing him.

    He let out a moan when her mouth reced her hand, his hand went to her head guiding her movement. using the tip of her tongue, she made circr motions up and down his length.¡±please¡­. Amelia¡±.

    He pinned her back on the bed iming her lips again, he parted her thigh and guided his shaft to her opening. He met her eyes that were yearning for his touch at that moment.

    ¡°are you sure about this?¡±Amelia heard him whisper and felt like banging her head on the wall. ¡°Mr Arrogant your questions are pointless now¡± she moaned out to him.

    Liam grinned at her response. She moaned out loud immediately she felt him entering waisther ¡°ummm.. Liam¡±.

    He entered slowly since her cave was still very tight, he gently moved his hips at a slow pace for her to adjust to his size. ¡°Liam¡­. mmmm¡­.. go harder¡±.

    Liam obeyed her words and increased his thrusts their tongues danced as each of their bodies moved together in this sacred bond.

    They both knew that they might regret their actions tomorrow but for now they wanted this moment tost for a while.

    The sounds of flesh pounding against each other echoed in their bedroom as they both danced to the rhythm of their lust for each other.

    Pants and moans filled the room while their body glowed with their own sweats.

    Amelia felt a sensation rising from the pit of her stomach, Liam felt her cave clenching around his shaft and increased his pace.

    She slightly shuddered beneath him and the same time he came down bursting his seeds into her. He fell beside her both trying to catch their breaths. He suddenly remembered that he forgot to use protection to prevent pregnancy.

    He opened the drawer beside the bed pulling out a pack of condom, his crazy friends gifted him this on his birthday he thought their gift will nevere in use but now it came in handy.

    Amelia raised her head to check out what he was doing and her eyes widened when she saw him putting on one.

    Before she could say anything he pinned her back on the bed. ¡°Let¡¯s empty the packet tonight!¡±

 Chapter 49_ My gift to you

    Amelia opened her eyeszily, She sat up on the bed groaning slightly. she nced to the other side of the bed to find it empty.

    Her whole body was in pain it felt as if she was molested by a monster. Her cheeks flushed as the events ofst night came flooding back.

    She caught sight of a small note that was sticked on themp beside the bed. Amelia stretched out a bit taking the note and went through it.

    ¡°Think of this as my gift to you¡­¡±

    Amelia¡¯s eyes darkened as she read the exact same words he to her after their stand. She crushed the paper with her hands.

    She hurried down from the bed and headed to the bathroom..

    ..

    Cecile¡¯s face lightened up when she saw her daughter hurrying down the stairs. ¡°Darling good thing you are here I¡¯m about leaving for the hospital¡±.

    ¡°Mum where is Liam?¡± Amelia asked.

    ¡°He told me that he¡¯ll be at one of hispanies branch¡±.

    Amelia nodded and walked past her mum heading out of the house in anger.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    ..

    Liam¡¯s phone vibrated on the table, he picked it up raising it to his ear before he excused himself out of the business meeting he was having.

    He came out of the conference room to receive a tight a tight p from Amelia who was burning in anger shocking his employees that was passing by.

    She took out the rumpled sheet of paper he left for her earlier and threw it at his face. ¡°You still haven¡¯t change? I thought we were getting to understand each other but I was wrong you are still that same arrogant young man I had a stand with months ago!¡±.

    Liam had a stunned look on his handsome face, he had no idea of what he did to warrant such treatment from her.

    He picked the pink colored piece of paper he left for her earlier and unfolded it. ¡°You don¡¯t like the gift?¡± he mumbled confusedly.

    Amelia held his cor ¡°You are a really pathetic man Liam! you think this is a joke? I trusted you enoughst night to give myself to you, after everything you left a silly note like this for me? I hate you!¡± she screamed at him storming out of his sight.

    Liam stared down at the paper on his palm and wondered where he went wrong. He signalled his guards to go with her because it seems she didn¡¯te here with anyone..

    ..

    Amelia stared at her phone worriedly, she just got a message from the hospital that Greg was in a bad condition. Even though Greg cheated her in the past, she still didn¡¯t wish bad for him.

    She arrived at the hospital and was immediately shown Greg¡¯s ward. She took a deep breath and pushed open the door. Her heart almost leaped out of her chest when she saw his condition.

    She doubted if he would ever make it out of this condition alive, the doctor in charge of him came forward to her. ¡°His condition is really bad and he has lost too much blood¡±.

    ¡°What do you think happened to him?¡± Amelia asked the doctor to see him sigh.

    ¡°it seems he was hit with something really hard on the head but thedy who brought him here said he slipped and fell¡±.

    Amelia shook her head in disbelief something was not right here, she took out her phone checking for something when she found it she showed the doctor the photo of Jane.

    ¡°Is she the one?¡± Amelia asked to receive a nod from him.

    ¡°Yes, she said she is his younger sister¡±..

    ..

    Liam was still pondering on what could have made his wife so angry about his gift. There was a slight knock on his door which diverted his attention.

    He watched the door open slowly and ady came in view, she was putting on a thin strap long ck gown that glued to her body like a leech entuating her figures and also exposing the top of her cleavages.

    Liam cocked a brow at the audacity thisdy had to step into his office. Jane¡¯s heart skipped a bit as she ogled at the handsome man in front of her. ¡°Well hello Mr Grayson¡± she greeted him biting her lower lip.

    Liam¡¯s eyes showed pure disgust at thedy who was walking towards him slowly. ¡°Who gave you the right to step into mypany?¡± Liam barked at her as soon as she came near him.

    Jane let out a sly smile, she believed that she could trap Liam into her clutches just like she did with Greg. He was a man after all so it wouldn¡¯t be that hard before she have him wrapped around her fingers.

    Jane bent towards him showing him a glimpse of her cleavage. ¡°Mr Grayson I know how boring Amelia can be and I also know that you both are just faking your marriage, since you are a man you must have certain needs that ady must provide for you¡±.

    She walked elegantly and sat on hisp caressing his chest. ¡°But here I am offering myself to you¡±.

    Liam¡¯s hand went into her hair which made Jane fly on cloud nine that he was equally interested in her. She boldly took one of his hand cing it on her breast.

    In the next instance Liam pulled her hair backwards with a firm grip making her Yelp in pain. ¡°I hate stupid women the most and you are no exception!¡± his piercing gaze made her tremble slightly.

    Liam stood up causing her to fall harshly on the ground. he rang the inte and several of his guards rushed in.

    He averted his gaze back to Jane ¡°you were so desperate toe close to me¡±.

    He faced his gaze ¡°Why don¡¯t you give her what she wants¡±.

    Jane looked up at him in horror shaking her head slightly. ¡°No no Mr Grayson¡­.¡±

    ¡°This is just a taste of your own medicine¡± he scorned at her.

    The guards gulped down exchanging gazes at one another, was the boss really giving them thisdy to have fun with?.

    Liam noticed the hesitation in their faces ¡°That¡¯s my order and if I find out that you ignored it I¡¯ll make everyone of you atone for it with your heads!¡±.

    They immediately went over picking Jane up from the ground who was giving a fit. ¡°Mr Grayson this isn¡¯t right¡­.. No don¡¯t touch me you animals¡±.

    Liam watched them all leave, he felt really dirty after that b*tch got her self on him. He simply walked into his closet for a change of outfit.

    Jane frantically kicked and scratched anyone that came near her until she was tied. She could see the clear lust in their eyes.

    ¡°Because of you we will be able to have some fun time¡±. One of the guardsmented.

    He ripped Jane¡¯s thin clothes off, leaving only her red lingerie which she chose specifically to seduce Liam.

    Tears filled her eyes as screamed out loudly, one of them approached her dragging her into the room.

    He spanked her butt several times before tearing off her lingerie into shreds. He untied her legs and spread them apart..

    .

    Louisa¡¯s jaw dropped when she opened the door to see Amelia with her luggage. ¡°Amy? what happened?¡±

 Chapter 50_ Iâ€™ve moved on with my life

    Amelia ignored Louisa¡¯s interrogative question and helped herself in with her small luggage, ¡°Amy I¡¯m asking you a question¡± Louisa called out shutting the door, she walked towards her Amelia who was gulping down a bottle of water.

    Amelia wiped her lips cing the bottle on the table before raising her head to face Louisa. ¡°What exactly do you want to know? that arrogant brat just doesn¡¯t know how to behave with women he should be lucky that I didn¡¯t break one of his teeth¡±.

    Louisa rolled her eyes pulling Amelia to sit ¡°You know with the little knowledge I have about Liam he isn¡¯t really that bad it¡¯s just you who doesn¡¯t understand him¡±.

    Amelia gasped ¡°Not you too! even my mum thinks that Liam is perfect but all I see is¡­. urghhhh!¡±.

    ¡°So tell me what did Mr Grayson do this time?¡± Louisa lowered her voice.

    Amelia¡¯s finger dug into the couch she was sitting on, remembering the words on that note seems to hurt her a little even more than the first day he said it to her face.

    Louisa carefully listened to Amelia as she narrated the whole thing to her and sighed at the end, ¡°I just can¡¯t believe that Mr Grayson would do something like this¡±.

    Amelia got up heading to the kitchen ¡°I¡¯m starving Lou, I didn¡¯t have my mum¡¯s breakfast because I was really upset¡±.

    .

    .

    .

    Nichs scrunched his face in disgust on seeing Jane¡¯s current state, he couldn¡¯t believe that Liam would actually do this. His step brother really have a weird and unique way of punishing his enemies.

    Jane red at Nichs ¡°Your step brother has invited trouble upon himself¡± she gritted her teeth in anger.

    Nichs sneered at the foolish woman in front of him, he and his mum has been plotting against Liam for years now and it hasn¡¯t yielded any fruit. ¡°What makes you think that you can go up against Liam? you brought this upon yourself, I didn¡¯t ask you to seduce him!¡±.

    Jane got up gripping his shirt ¡± do you think this is a joke? I just got molested by your brother¡¯s men¡±.

    Nichs pulled her hands off his shirt ¡°Why are you pouring your frustration on me? I didn¡¯t send you to his office the original n from day one was for you to separate Amelia and Liam nothing more!¡±

    Jane fell on her seat sobbing, she recalled how does animals had sex with her over and over again after they were done with her they dropped her in a dumpster.

    ¡°Now you will do exactly what I ask you to do and if you want to get rid of Liam then it¡¯s all up to you¡±.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    Nichs smiled meaningfully staring at her reaction to his words..

    ..

    Dn resisted the urge tough as he listened to Liam¡¯s plight. ¡°So? just let her be she doesn¡¯t worth your time forget about her¡± Dn suggested, he knew exactly where he was driving at.

    Liam raised a brow at Dn¡¯s words ¡°If you are not willing to say anything reasonable you can leave¡±.

    Dn stood up to leave the office with a teasing grin on his lips, ¡°You are really leaving?¡± Liam asked.

    Dn turned to him with a serious face ¡°Look Liam I really suck when ites to love matters just figure things out for yourself¡±.

    Liam confusedly stared at him.

    ¡°What? don¡¯t give me that look! if you like your wife what is the big deal in telling her?¡± Dn said feigning anger.

    ¡°I never said that, she was upset because of the gift I gave her and I don¡¯t know why¡±.

    Dn cocked a brow at him ¡°Oh really? then I have the perfect solution for your problem¡±..

    ..

    Liam returned home that night and was greeted with silence, his house was really silent. He hurriedly went into his room but she wasn¡¯t in sight either.

    His gaze furrowed when he found the vanity table where she normally keep all her makeup kits and skincare products waspletely empty.

    Liam was surprised and walked towards the wardrobe to find her own section of clothes empty. He pulled out his phone to call her but she was not taking any of his calls.

    The servants and guards bowed their head as Liam interrogated them like criminals on Amelia¡¯s sudden disappearance. ¡°You were meant to guide her movement!¡±.

    ¡°Boss she threatened to slit her throat if we followed her¡±.

    Liam massaged his temples, everyday he gets to hear her worst threats.

    ¡°She came back looking really upset and packed all her things¡±..

    ..

    Amelia and Louisa were deeply engrossed in the movie they were watching at the theatre, but Amelia¡¯s phone kept on ruining the show. ¡°Just answer it¡± Louisa scolded since she couldn¡¯t focus.

    Amelia took a mouthful of popcorn and answered the call from Liam. ¡°Sorry she can¡¯t talk to you right now, she is resting on my bed¡±.

    Louisa¡¯s mouth dropped as she tried to snatch away the phone from Amelia. ¡°Amy! that wasn¡¯t right!¡±

    Amelia turned off her phone and snapped at Louisa who was staring at her in awe, ¡°I¡¯m not the movie look ahead¡± Amelia replied putting on her dark shade.

    Meanwhile on the other end Steven and James wereughing their guts out at Liam¡¯s expression. Dn nudged them to keep quiet but they ignored.

    ¡°What? I expected this from Dn, not Liam, but seriously dude you and Dn need toe to the fact that you are so poor when ites to the matter of the heart¡± James jested.

    Liam sent Dn a threatening gaze, of all times why now to invite this two over. They joke around on everything which is really annoying.

    ¡°It¡¯s seems she is really upset with you that she had to lean on someone else¡¯s shoulder forfort¡±. Steven added

    Liam hurled his TV remote at Steven who quickly dodged it in time. James raised the bottle of wine with him. ¡°less I forget we should make a toast!¡±

    Dn sneered at him ¡°At this rate you are bound to make your dad¡¯s cer go dry¡±

    Liam pondered hard on what could have made Amelia this upset, he took out the pink note he left for her and went through it because it seems the thing that made her leave was the words on the note he was holding.

    He read it over and over again till it suddenly dawned on him. ¡°darn it!¡± he cursed and stood up leaving the house.

    Dn stood up immediately so as the two ¡°You both are noting with us!¡±..

    ..

    .

    The cab pulled over in front of Louisa¡¯s apartment as the two came out chatting ernestly about the movie they just watched.

    Louisa pulled out the key from her purse and inserted it inside the keyhole only to find the door unlocked. Thedies stared at each other in shock and became alert.

    They opened the door slowly and stepped in, Louisa took a baseball bat behind the door as they approached the living area, the lights were also on.

    Which clearly means someone was present in their apartment.

 Chapter 51_ Arrogant couple

    Louisa clutched the baseball bat tightly walking slowly towards the living room with Amelia.

    They both stopped on their tracks as soon as they saw the intruders. ¡°you?¡± they both asked simultaneously.

    Amelia and Louisa stared at each other in shock, Louisa pointed the bat to Dn who was grinning at her shocked expression. ¡°you! you broke into my home thiste¡±.

    ¡°So it was you Mr Arrogant!¡± Amelia tilted her head to Dn ¡°and you apanied him? just wait you¡¯ll be the cops problem now¡±. She pulled out her phone.

    Liam remained expressionless as she reported him to the cops.

    Dn snatched the bat out of Louisa¡¯s hand and walked towards Amelia. ¡°Youpletely misunderstood the situation give him a chance to speak¡± Dn said taking away her phone and pulling Louisa out with him.

    ¡°Let me go! I can walk by myself¡± Louisa snapped at Dn.

    Amelia walked towards Liam ¡°Why are you here? Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s toote to apologize?¡±

    Liam rose to his feet overshadowing her with his height. ¡°And what makes you think that I¡¯ll apologize to you?¡±

    Amelia¡¯s jaw clenched ¡°What? you arrogant brat!¡± she spat pushing him down to sit back on the sofa.

    Liam took her wrist pulling her down to sit on hisps, he took out the pink note and gave it her.

    Amelia saw the familiar note and got off hisps.

    ¡°You are one weirddy! read it again¡±..

    ..

    Louisa rubbed her arm slightly taking in the city¡¯s view from the rooftop. For some reasons there was an awkward silence between she and her boss.

    Dn¡¯s grip on the railings tightened, he still didn¡¯t know how to start a conversation with her, he caught sight of her rubbing her arms slightly and took it as an opportunity.

    Since the night was chilly and she was also wearing a thin strap gown she was bound to get a cold.

    He gently ced his coat on her ¡°You shouldn¡¯t wear clothes like this on a chilly night¡± he scolded gently.

    Louisa looked down at the coat he draped on her and felt warm. She looked ahead avoiding his piercing gaze ¡°Thank you¡±.

    ¡°Sometimes I get the feeling that you have something to me but you are hesitating¡±.

    Dn nodded at her words, he loosened his tie a bit and let out a breath.

    ¡°I was wondering if we could¡­¡­.

    ¡°Louisa¡±

    Louisa¡¯s heart skipped a bit on seeing Jake who appeared out of the blue.

    Louisa let out an awkward smile and walked towards him, shepletely forgot that she had ns with Jaketer tonight.

    Jake gripped the bouquet of flowers on his hands with a little more force than normal. He wasn¡¯t sure why but whenever he sees this man around Louisa he feels threatened.

    His eyesnded on the white coat draped on her shoulder which matched Dn¡¯s white pants. ¡°So he was the reason you cancelled our ns?¡± Jake asked.

    Louisa shook her head ¡°No Jake I¡­

    ¡°Save it! you can finish up with him¡± He threw down the bouquet of red roses and stormed out in anger.

    ¡°jake! wait and listen to me¡± Louisa called out running after him.

    Jake entered his car and nced up to the rooftop to see Dn holding her back froming after him..

    ..

    Amelia opened the note and read the first part ¡°Look Liam did you reallye here to infuriate me more?¡±.

    Liam turned the paper around for her to read it clearly. Amelia¡¯s brows furrowed as she stared at the paper dumbfounded.

    ¡°I thought you were a smartdy but I guess that I was wrong¡±.

    Amelia sighed, she epted that it was her fault ¡°I really didn¡¯t know that you wrote something else at the back¡±.

    Liam scoffed at her words, ¡°Now do you still think that I owe you an apology?¡±.

    Amelia met his eyes that had a little glow in them ¡°I¡¯m sorry that I misunderstood¡±.

    Liam calmly walked out of the living room ignoring her apology..

    ..

    Liam woke up to an empty bed beside him in the morning, he knew she didn¡¯te back with himst night but a part of him still wished that she did.

    He headed to the bathroom for a quick shower and came out, his eyes darted to the bed but it was empty.

    He walked towards the wardrobe in search for an outfit to wear..

    .

    The maids jaw dropped when they saw their boss sitting on the dining table waiting for breakfast without being asked to.

    They scurried to the kitchen to make a meal for him since the mother and daughter duo left yesterday.

    The cooks served the meals on the long dining table bowing slightly.

    Liam picked up his cutlery, he took a bite out of his fork and dropped his cutlery harshly on the marbled table.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you all know how to make a simple meal? you are all fired! get out now!¡± Heshed out at them storming out of the house with his guards.

    The butler turned to the head chef ¡°you¡¯ve been working here for years and you still don¡¯t know what the young master prefers!¡± he scolded.

    ¡°But there was nothing wrong with the meal, I made sure it was to his taste¡±..

    ..

    Louisa moved around the kitchen making a dish for herzy friend who was glued to the bed like a leech right after Liam leftst night.

    She returned to the room where Amelia was, Amelia saw Louisa approaching and sat up on the bed. ¡°I have never met any couple as arrogant as you and Mr Grayson! what if he didn¡¯t tell you toe back home aren¡¯t you his wife? you can go whenever you want¡±.

    Amelia closed her eyes for some minutes and opened it again. ¡°Louisa which side are you on? Liam is really a character and he needs to change his ways¡±.

    ¡°Amy!¡±This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine if you take his side, you always do anyway¡±. She shrugged.

    Louisa sighed at Amelia¡¯s childish behavior ¡°I¡¯m off to work and please try to patch things up with him¡±.

    Louisa adviced and left the apartment, Amelia picked up her phone to check for missed calls but found none.

    She let out a breath dialing his number, it rang for some time before it was answered.

    There was a brief silence before Amelia chipped in ¡°Hi, well¡­. I think that¡­. I forgot a few things in your house¡­. and I would like to take them¡± She stuttered biting her lips nervously.

    Liam stroked his chin with a smirk ¡°No I double checked and I found nothing that belongs to you in my room, it felt as if my life has returned back to how it used to be¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s heartbeat increased drastically, ¡°You mean you like the way I¡¯m no longer in your house?¡±.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t ask you to leave neither will I ask you toe back, you made that decision yourself so it¡¯s all up to you¡±..

    ..

    ¡°And cut!¡± The director said for the umpteenth time today, Amelia wasn¡¯t really her best today everyone around could notice it.

    Kelvin handed her a bottle of water which she epted gulping a little. ¡°Are you troubled? we¡¯ve been acting a scene for almost an hour now¡±.

    Amelia forced a smile at him, ¡°I¡¯m not just in the right mood for acting today¡±.

    ¡°Maybe an ice cream date will do¡± Kelvin suggested taking Amelia by her hand out of the set which didn¡¯t miss ady¡¯s eyes who was covered in a ck hoodie..

    ..

    Liam¡¯s phone vibrated, he pulled it out staring at the pictures that popped up on his phone.

    ¡°Are they really dating? I heard she went out with him a couple of times¡±

    ¡°I just wished it was true, they look so perfect together¡±.

    Liam¡¯s ears itched from the gossips his employees were whispering among themselves. ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± he yelled at them.

    He tookrge strides walking into the elevator. ¡°Find me everything I need about that actor¡± he ordered his assistant tailing after him.

 Chapter 52_ she is awake! 1

    Kelvin let out a small smile that lightened his handsome face, he had been studying Amelia¡¯s side profile for a while now and couldn¡¯t help but pull her cheeks slightly.

    ¡°Annn¡± the passersby marvelled and shrieked at the two who looked so sweet together.

    ¡°What was that for?¡± she pouted her lips before taking a lick out of her ice cream cone.

    ¡°I just find your attitude cute¡± hemented nonchntly taking her hand in his.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    They were both strolling down the street hand in hand, Amelia felt a bit ufortable with Kelvin¡¯s gestures.

    Jane pulled off her ck hoodie and threw it at the backseat of her car, she smirked gripping the steering wheel.

    ¡°Oh poor Amy! your husband made me take this drastic step, he crossed all the limits and now you will suffer for it¡±.

    She started the car driving in full speed towards Amelia who was totally unaware of the imposing danger.

    In the next minute the car rammed into Amelia who was just about to cross the road with kelvin..

    ..

    Liam¡¯s attention turned to his assistant who just entered. ¡°Boss I¡¯ve gotten everything about Kelvin¡± He announced to see Liam drop his pen.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t find any bad records about him, he is a humble and handsome guy who is cherished by all thedies, he recently signed a contract with our entertainment industry he also has a fan base of¡­..

    ¡°Enough! I didn¡¯t ask you to tell me how good looking he is or how great he is!¡±.

    Liamshed out at his assistant and dismissed him immediately, he picked up his phone that was vibrating on his table.

    ¡°What?!¡±..

    ..

    .

    Liam arrived at the hospital that was flooded with the media and reporters, they parted ways for him as soon as they saw him approaching.

    He was heading to the ward where she was being attended to, he stopped on his tracks where he spotted kelvin filling some forms at the front desk.

    The direction of his movement changed as he started approaching kelvin in fast pace, his eyes were already glowing in anger. Right now Liam¡¯s mind was clouded with anger towards kelvin.

    Kelvin who was clueless about what wasing his way crashed on the marbled table, he raised his head to receive another punch from Liam.

    Dn who just came in rushed in holding Liam back from hitting kelvin further. ¡°Control yourself Liam!¡±

    Kelvin supported himself up, ¡°Not cool dude! don¡¯t vent your anger on him¡±.

    ¡°Mr Grayson I didn¡¯t do anything to deserve such treatment from you¡±. kelvin exined, he was quite surprised when he found out that Liam Grayson was the one hitting him..

    ..

    The doctor came out of the ward with a nurse after giving some instructions to the nurse he turned to Liam. ¡°Mr Grayson¡­.

    ¡°How is she?¡± Liam said cutting off the doctor¡¯s words which only made kelvin more curious about the rtionship between Liam and Amelia.

    ¡°She is still unconscious and under observation¡± The doctor said which drew a line of worry on Liam¡¯s face.

    ¡°Doctor please check on him also he sustained some bruises¡± Dn said pointing at kelvin who was still wincing in pain.

    Kelvin avoided Liam¡¯s deadly stare and followed the doctor.

    Dn turned to Liam ¡°What were you thinking hitting the poor guy, you didn¡¯t give him a chance to speak¡± Dn scolded.

    Liam¡¯s phone vibrated multiple times in his pockets till he decided to answer it, ¡°What?!¡±..

    ..

    Amelia¡¯s eyes opened slowly, her head was banging really hard. A soft gasp escaped her lips as she recalled what happened few hours back.

    ¡°Jane¡­.. she was there¡± she mumbled holding her head.

    The nurse present in the room rushed to her side to stop her from removing her drip. ¡°What are you doing miss? please stay back you are still weak¡±.

    As soon as Kelvin stepped into the ward he saw how Amelia was struggling with the nurse. ¡°Amelia what are you doing?¡±

    He asked pushing her back toy down. ¡°Rx¡± heforted stroking her hair gently.

    ¡°Where is Liam?¡±

    Kelvin dismissed the nurse and faced Amelia again. ¡°He left two hours ago¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes stinged, knowing full well that he wasn¡¯t around. What was more important than her life?.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t mind can I know what your real rtionship with Mr Grayson is?¡±

    Amelia saw the pain that shed past his eyes and sighed, did he mistake her friendship for something else?.

    ¡°He is my husband¡±..

    ..

    Liam slowly walked to the bedside to confirm if what he heard was really true. ¡°Mum¡± his voice which carried pain jolted Brianna out of her thoughts.

    Her brows furrowed seeing the young man before her, she tried to sit up but felt numb. ¡°Take me to Liam, my son needs me now¡±. Brianna pleaded.

    Liam¡¯s gaze softened, he took one of her weak hands to touch his face. ¡°Don¡¯t you recognize your son?¡±

    The old doctor touched Liam¡¯s shoulder ¡°Give her some time toe around Mr Grayson, the image in her head still shows an eight year old Liam¡±.

    Brianna faced Liam in shock, does that mean that her eight year old son is all grown up now. ¡°Liam?¡±..

    ..

    Amelia pointed the scissors at the nurse who wasn¡¯t letting her leave the room. ¡°Miss please put down the scissors you are not fit to leave yet¡±.

    She pulled the needle out of her wrist heading to the door but the nurse blocked her path. ¡°Get out of the way¡± she yelled in anger.

    With a single pull Amelia pushed the nurse out of the door, she opened the door to leave when she bumped into Kelvin who was on his way in. ¡°Ame¡­

    She hurriedly walked past him.

    She knew the media must be flocking around outside so she used the hospital¡¯s back exit to leave.

    Kelvin came out of the hospital through the back exit also but was toote since she boarded a cab.

    ¡°Just where on earth is she going in her current condition?¡±..

    ..

    Jane held the side of her face which was just pt, ¡°How dare you? didn¡¯t I warn you about staying away from Amelia?¡±

    Nichs eyes zed in anger towards the foolish woman in front of him. Earlier today he had watched the news about Amelia¡¯s hit and run ident and he knew who it was immediately.

    He raised his hand to her slender neck strangling her, ¡°maybe it¡¯s time to end you for good!¡±

    Jane groaned feeling breathless from his strong grip, her knees found its way to his groin area.

    Nichs let out a gasp releasing Jane¡¯s neck, she held her neck trying to catch her breathe. ¡°Have you lost your mind? you must know one thing I¡¯m impossible to get rid of and if you try to pull this stunt with me again I¡¯ll make sure I expose you and your mother¡¯s truth to everyone¡±.

    Jane got pt again but this time by Angie ¡°you fool! who do you think you are to treat my prince in this manner?¡±.

    Angie pulled Jane¡¯s hair harshly ¡°Do you know that you are the most wanted in the city at the moment?¡± Angie asked pushing Jane tond on the ground.

    ¡°I can get rid of you with a snap of my finger but no I wouldn¡¯t do that because you have to finish what you¡¯ve already started¡± Angie added..

    ..

    Brianna who was now on a wheelchair couldn¡¯t believe that she had been in aa all these years, she could only imagine what her son must have gone through.

    Liam wiped her tears away with his hands, he sat on his heels in front of her taking one of her frail hands. He nted a kiss at the back of her hand

    ¡°You are awake now and that¡¯s all that matters,

    you have no idea of what I¡¯ve passed through mum, I was greatly wronged by the people I considered family¡±.

    Brianna ruffled his hair slightly just how she normally does when he was a child.

    ¡°And what about your dad?¡±

    Liam rose to his feet, Brianna shuddered slightly she didn¡¯t miss the glimmer of hatred and anger that crossed his face.

    It looked as if a whole new person was standing in front of her now.

    Liam¡¯s heart ached for his mum who still cared about that spineless man who left her for another woman.

    ¡°No one knows that you are still alive¡±.

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Brianna asked curiously.

    ¡°You still care about him don¡¯t you?¡±

    Brianna lowered her gaze, she couldn¡¯t forget how mark left her for her best friend Angie.

    ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for so long for you to wake up and now that you are awake I will ask you only one question which you will answer¡±

    ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°Who pushed you off the balcony?¡± Liam said through gritted teeth.

    Brianna held her head from the pain she was starting to feel while she tried to recall what happened. ¡°It was ¡­

    ¡°Liam¡±

 Chapter 53_ She is awake! 2

    Brianna and Liam snapped their heads to the door to reveal Amelia who could barely stand on her feet. She leaned on the wall for support breathing heavily.

    Liam was dumbstruck he saw her falling and ran up to her supporting her from falling. ¡°you crazydy what were you thinking? and how the hell did you leave the hospital?!¡±

    Liam mumbled worriedly lifting her up, he walked towards the couch next to his mum andid her down.

    Brianna stared at thedy in shock and worry, it was obvious from the way she was looking at Liam and Amelia that she had a lot of questions to ask.

    ¡°I need you toe over to my house this minute¡± Liam hastily said over the phone and diverted his attention to his mum.

    ¡°Who is she?¡± Brianna curiously asked.

    Amelia moved slightly trying to get up but was pushed back toy down. ¡°You are unbelievable! stay back the doctor is on his way¡±..

    ..

    The doctor examined Amelia and shook his head slightly. ¡°Mr Grayson honestly I don¡¯t know how anyone in such a condition would have enough strength to run away from the hospital¡±.

    Amelia narrowed her eyes at the doctor who was only making matter worse. ¡°No one asked for your opinion¡±.

    Liam mped her mouth with his hand, ¡°You can leave now¡± He said to the doctor who left immediately.

    Amelia averted her eyes from Liam¡¯s burning gaze that rested on her while pulling his hand away from her lips. ¡°Why did you leave the hospital?¡±

    She suddenly remembered why she came here in the first ce. ¡°Liam, Jane was the one who ran me over, I saw her¡±.

    Liam sighed exasperatedly, after what he did to Jane he should have known that she wouldn¡¯t rest so easily. ¡°I know! my men are after her¡±.

    Amelia cleared her throat ¡°Why did you hit kelvin?¡±

    Liam¡¯s knuckles turned into a fist, he didn¡¯t regret what he did to that actor. ¡°Why? does it hurt you that much to know that I thrashed your lover?¡±

    ¡°Lover?¡± Amelia unconsciously called out, she held her head that was starting to hurt again. ¡°Am I not allowed to have any male friends? or are you just perhaps jealous?¡±

    Liam gave up talking to her and left the room because right now he felt like he was the one that was actually sick not her..

    ..

    Jane opened her eyes to the unfamiliar surroundings she was currently in, her eyes widened as she recalled how some men came into her apartment and took her away.

    She heard a light footstep approaching the ce she was locked up in.

    As the figure drew nearer blood drained from her face. ¡°Mr.. G.. rayson¡± she stuttered shaking her head slightly.

    His cold and indifferent eyes flickered with evil intentions, his thin lips drew a deadly smirk, the one that sends people wetting themselves.

    He pulled a seat to sit in front of Jane who was for some reason looking fresh and well off, after what he did to her and Greg he doubted if they could ever get out of it.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    A guard walked in with a little box and ced it beside Liam. ¡°Why dodies do the most crazy things? you are a really dumbdy¡±.

    Anger engulfed Jane¡¯s whole being as she red sharply at the man who made her a sex tool for his guards. ¡°You are very lucky that your wife is still alive, I nned on killing her but once again and as always she manages to get out of every situations¡±.

    Liam turned deaf ears to her words and drew out the box, he opened it to reveal several sharp objects. Liam took out a de and waved it in front of her.

    Jane¡¯s heartbeat increased drastically, she wondered what he was nning to do with her.

    She couldn¡¯t even move a muscle due to the fact that she was tied up, she felt a sharp pain in her arm and felt a warm liquid flowing out.

    She nced down at her arm screaming in pain as Liam continued drawing lines on her hand with the de, he dropped the bloody de and took out a small packet containing a white powder.

    Jane screamed and pleaded as she felt a stinging and hot sensation on her open injury after Liam applied the substance on the injury he inflicted on her.

    ¡°arrrgggh¡­ Mr Grayson please spare me¡± Jane screamed continuously.

    Liam held her chin squeezing it harshly ¡°I¡¯m not the one to punish you! the person who deserves to give you the proper treatment will be here any second¡±.

    Jane¡¯s eyes paused at the entrance of the room to see Amelia who was limping towards her.

    Liam got up from his seat wiping his hands that was stained with Jane¡¯s blood.

    Amelia¡¯s stomach churned seeing so much blood oozing out of Jane¡¯s injury. ¡°Well bestie we meet again¡±.

    Jane spat out in disgust ¡°You were never my friend but a big rival to me! I hate your whole existence and I wouldn¡¯t have thought about killing you if your husband hadn¡¯t sent his men to molest me¡±.

    Liam avoided Amelia¡¯s questioning gaze. ¡°He did that to you? you should be lucky that he didn¡¯t hang you to death for what you did to me¡±.

    Amelia sent a p to her face ¡°You made me go through hell, you constantly snatched everything from me, first you went after Greg and made sure he waspletely yours and next you went after my career and made sure that you jeopardized it¡±

    Jane let out a mockingughter ¡°And I enjoyed every bit of it! Amy!¡±.

    Amelia closed her eyes in anger before untying Jane from the chair. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Liam asked surprisingly.

    Jane was also shocked but in the next instance she fell to the ground.

    Liam pulled Amelia to himself ¡°Have you gone nuts? you are still so weak the doctor said¡­..

    ¡°No doctor can tell me what to do with my life, I live by my own terms and rules!¡±

    Liam was taken back from the ferocity in her voice,.

    Jane stood up on her feet only to be kicked back down again by Amelia. ¡°I have been waiting for so long to do this to you¡±.

    Jane smiled mischievously at her foolish friend and husband. ¡°You both have no idea of what is heading your way, what are you waiting for? end me already!¡±

    Amelia pulled Jane¡¯s hair back harshly, ¡°I know where fits you the most¡±

    Jane gave a fit as she was being pushed into the van going to the mental asylum. ¡°Let me go I¡¯m not mad..!!¡±

    Her tantrums were ignored as the van drove off from their sights..

    ..

    Amelia opened the door leading to where Liam¡¯s mum was currently staying. Brianna raised her head after hearing the door open.

    She smiled at the youngdy in front of her, Amelia couldn¡¯t believe that she was actually awake now it felt so unreal to her.

    She knelt down in front of thedy on wheelchair and didn¡¯t know what else to do other than to ce her head on Brianna¡¯s weak legs.

    Brianna touched Amelia¡¯s head with her frail hands..

 Chapter 54_ Old Graysonâ€™s demands 1

    Amelia raised her head gently from Brianna¡¯sps . ¡°I¡¯ll call you mum from today onwards¡±.

    Brianna smiled but was a bit confused on who thisdy was. ¡°Dear how do you know Liam?¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s mouth fell open as she stared nkly at her mum-iw. ¡°That arrogant man didn¡¯t tell his mum who I am to him!¡± she mumbled beneath her breathe.

    ¡°Did you say something?¡±

    She heard Brianna ask and forced a smile ¡°I was just wondering why Liam didn¡¯t tell you that I¡¯m his wife!¡±

    ¡°Because I don¡¯t want my mum to know that she has a crazydy as a daughter inw¡±

    Amelia stood up and turned around to face Liam who just walked in. ¡°Excuse me?¡±

    ¡°You heard me¡±.

    Liam casually stated walking towards his mum and pushing Amelia a little of his way. ¡°I really think you need to visit the mental asylum yourself and do aplete checkup¡±. Amelia retorted

    Brianna looked back and forth between the couples. ¡°Say that one more time and I¡¯ll¡­..¡±

    Liam¡¯s words were caught off after Amelia pushed him to sit on the couch. She narrowed her eyes at him while holding his cor. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I¡¯ll go easy on you because your mum is here, I¡¯m an awesomedy and I don¡¯t get why you hate introducing me to your close ones¡±.

    Brianna couldn¡¯t help but chuckle at the sight before her. ¡°Are you really sure that you both are married? because that doesn¡¯t seem like the case here¡±.

    Amelia averted her eyes from Brianna to Liam who pulled her hands off his cor.

    She cleared her throat facing Brianna ¡°Mum I¡¯ll be on my way now take care bye¡± She dashed out before any question would be raised.

    ¡°Where is she off to Liam?¡±

    ¡°Well¡­.. mum forget it it¡¯s time to rest the doctor asked you not to stress yourself at all it will take a month or more for you to recover and be back on your feet again¡±..

    ..

    Amelia returned to Liam¡¯s bedroom, she was a bit hurt when Liam didn¡¯t try to stop her from leaving earlier.

    Her eyes scanned the room looking for something and when she spotted it she dashed to the table picking it up.

    She stared down at the medium sized gift box she was holding and walked to the bed. ¡°Foolish Amelia just how on earth could you not notice this gift box?¡±.

    She scolded herself while unwrapping it, she opened the box to reveal a dress with a set of jewelry in it.

    Her eyes marvelled at the high taste and quality, she doubted if Liam could pick this himself since he sucks at colours and fashion.

    She gently took out the royal blue gown cing it in front of her body to check it¡¯s perfection and just then the door opened to reveal Liam who wasn¡¯t so surprised.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes widened as if caught stealing, ¡°well¡­.. it¡¯s not what you think I ¡­.. actually¡­. erm¡­..

    Liam walked past her ignoring her exnations, ¡°That dress is meant for my date to wear to theunching of a new project by mypany what are you doing with it?¡±.

    Amelia was utterly surprised, she stared at the dress which she fell in love with few seconds ago. But the thing that shocked her the most was that it wasn¡¯t meant for her but for some date.

    Liam adjusted his tie in front of the mirror, he smirked inwardly seeing her turn to different shades of red.

    He counted numbers inwardly knowing fully well that she will burst out any moment from now. ¡®three¡­. two¡­. one¡­.¡¯

    ¡°A date?!¡±

    She ced the dress back into the box walking towards him.

    ¡°Do you have a problem with that? I¡¯ll deliver it to her today¡±

    Amelia was speechless by his words, he was sounding unconcerned and unbothered which annoyed her to the core.

    She stood in front of him pulling his tie for him to bend forward. ¡°Mr Liam Grayson! have you forgotten that you have a wife?¡±.

    Liam raised a brow ¡°So? haven¡¯t you seen when married men have mistresses?¡±.

    Amelia pointed her index finger at him ¡°You are married to me! tell me who she is! Is it that joker Allison?¡±.

    Liam grinned mischievously pushing her away from the mirror. ¡°Maybe or maybe not¡± He shrugged.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright then so when is thisunching taking ce? I really want to be there to support my husband¡¯s work¡±.

    Liam creased his brow things weren¡¯t going as he had expected. ¡°Well it¡¯s tomorrow night¡±.

    ¡°Good then I¡¯ll meet you there¡±. She said walking towards the box she picked it up and turned back to him. ¡°Get something else for your date I¡¯ll be taking this¡±.

    Liam stared at the closed doors and sighed. ¡°Drama queen¡±..

    ..

    Nichs pressed his ears against his grandfather¡¯s study room listening to the conversation going on between his dad and grandfather.

    ¡°Prince!¡± Angie lowered her voice pulling him out of the door. ¡°What were you doing?¡±.

    Nichs rolled his eyes at his mum ¡°What does it seem like I¡¯m doing? of course I was eavesdropping¡± he mumbled irritably.

    Angie sighed pulling his ear slightly ¡°You fool! we are in deep trouble that witch has been caught and was sent to a mental asylum who knows what she will spill out?¡±.

    ¡°So? now she is off our radar, good for us! you won¡¯t believe what grandpa and father are nning to do tomorrow night¡±.

    Angie¡¯s attention got piqued ¡°Tell me son¡±.

    Nichs looked around before whispering into his mum¡¯s ears. ¡°Really?¡±

    He nodded in affirmation which left Angie floating on cloud nine..

    ..

    Ameliaid on the bed while Louisa massaged her body. ¡°I have nevere across ady like you in my life Amy, you are so daring¡±.

    Amelia let out a toothy smile, she won¡¯t let Liam have thestugh after all she was Amelia, Amelia Hart.

    There was a knock on the door which jolted the two, they stared at each other on who that could be. Amelia quickly changed into her clothes before Louisa opened the door.

    Amelia also curiously opened the door to know who it was but her step was rooted to the ground.

 Chapter 55_ Old Graysonâ€™s demands 2

    Louisa and Amelia exchanged a brief nce before moving out of the way. Old Grayson walked majestically into the room exuding a powerful aura.

    His piercing grey orbs looked around the mini living room fit for a youngdy. He sat down on one of the small sofa¡¯s in the room.

    Amelia snapped out of her daze and walked towards him. ¡°Grandfather what brings you here?¡±

    Amelia stood akimbo, she knew well that old Grayson doesn¡¯t like her at all but what the hell was he doing at Louisa¡¯s apartment?.

    Old Grayson turned to Louisa who took that as a cue to give them some privacy, she watched Louisa leave the room before averting her gaze back to the old man in front of her.

    ¡°Amelia Hart¡­.

    ¡°Amelia Grayson¡± she corrected.

    Old Grayson let out a smirk this was one thing he hated about thisdy, she was too daring and brave for his likeness.

    ¡°What¡¯s the use of bearing a name that is not rightfully meant for you?¡± Old Grayson said in a loud tone with a mixture of sarcasm.

    Amelia¡¯s lips parted slightly as she tried to decipher what he meant by that. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°I know you are only with him because you want to secure a part of the Grayson¡¯s wealth for yourself but I¡¯vee here to make your job easier for you¡±.

    Amelia heaved a deep breath, if not for the sake that he is an old man she would have shown him his way out long ago.

    He snapped his finger and two guards came in holding two brief case each, they dropped it by old Grayson¡¯s side and stood beside him.

    ¡°Three hundred million, I¡¯m willing to offer that if you leave this city and Liam for good¡±.

    ¡°What the¡­.¡±

    He raised his hand to silence her speech, he had been a witness to how much venom she spits out when angered.

    ¡°It¡¯s an order from me! Liam is already betrothed and do you know who she is? Allison and she is the country¡¯s mayor only daughter¡±.

    Amelia folded her arms beneath her bossom staring at the old man in bewilderment. ¡°You sure know everything about me but you must also know that I love winning, I¡¯m not going to leave a task iplete I make sure to finish it¡±

    ¡°And grandpa, I¡¯m never going to leave Liam because of some Allison I don¡¯t care if she is the moon¡¯s daughter¡±. Amelia added, she couldn¡¯t believe how cheap old Grayson was deeming her to be.

    Even if she and Liam do have disagreement and arguments on most things, she couldn¡¯t deny the fact that she was now attracted to him.

    ¡°But you have no other choice¡±.

    ¡°Don¡¯t try to instill fear in me Mr Grayson I¡¯m not scared of you!¡±.

    Old Grayson felt insulted and stood up to his feet with blood shot eyes. ¡°You have two days to decide either you leave willing or you leave by force!¡±.

    Amelia felt something shift in her stomach as soon as she perceived old Grayson¡¯s cologne. She excused herself rushing into the bathroom.

    Old Grayson¡¯s face paled, he turned towards the direction of where she left. His jaw clenched in anger as he went out in anger..

    ..

    Liam¡¯s eyes turned towards the door which flung open, he closed the file he was holding and picked up his mug of hot tea as soon as he saw who it was.

    ¡°You brat!¡±

    Liam adjusted his tie, he took a sip from his mug and twirled his chair to face therge ss window showing off a fair part of the city. ¡°If you are here to make unnecessary demands you better leave before I loose my cool¡±.

    ¡°You know fully well the consequences of your stupid actions¡±.

    Liam twirled his seat to face his grandfather, their powerful set of grey eyes met, he ced the mug on hisrge desk.

    ¡°I think carefully before I make any move and so far I haven¡¯t made any wrong move which I should be weary of¡± Liam seconded.

    He stood up from his seat with both hands in his pants pocket walking slowly towards his grandfather.

    ¡°You made a mistake by dragging that actress into your life son¡±

    ¡°That was one of my best decisions, I told you before and I¡¯ll tell you again I¡¯m not part of your family so your selfish rules doesn¡¯t have an impact on me Mr Grayson!¡±This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    Old Grayson¡¯s chest heaved up and down in anger so far he doesn¡¯t know who is more arrogant and proud between Liam and Amelia. ¡°You should have thought about that before getting trapped in that fire that nearly imed your life!¡±

    What? Liam¡¯s thick brows drew together in anger, he turned sharply to his grandfather who was still standing so proudly as ever.

    ¡°The fire? the reason I¡¯m alive today is because of Amelia, Allison wasn¡¯t the one who rescued me from that chapel and I never asked you to set up an alliance with her for me¡±.

    Old Grayson gnashed his teeth in anger Wondering how on earth Liam could find out about that.

    ¡°You know well that drac is Allison¡¯s brother, he has threatened to drag you through the walls of the underworld if you ever break the alliance with his sister¡±.

    Liam let out a grin ¡°If that¡¯s the case I¡¯ll be waiting for that day toe¡±

    So far the only person who was bold enough to go against him ande after him was his daring wife Amelia Grayson!

    ..

    Amelia held her head which was starting to hurt badly, she got out of the bed heading to the bathroom for a shower.

    Louisa ced a bowl of hot soup on the table, her eyes nced towards the door worriedly hearing Amelia cough out severally.

    She knocked on the door slightly ¡°Amy are you alright?¡±. Louisa worriedly asked.

    ¡°Yeah I¡¯m good¡±.

    Louisa breathed out in relief she moved towards the briefcase that Liam¡¯s grandfather left yesterday.

    ..

    .

    Brianna held Liam¡¯s hand that was fisted on the dining table. ¡°Son I know how selfish and conniving your grandfather can be but make sure you do whatever your heart desires¡±.

    Liam ced hisrge palm over his mum¡¯s hand ¡°Mum grandfather is trying to act and y smart with me¡±.

    Brianna¡¯s eyes teared up ¡°Liam this is all my fault! if I hadn¡¯t¡­..¡±

    Liam squeezed her hands slightly ¡°Shhh don¡¯t say all that, this isn¡¯t your fault in any way, grandfather started this I only want to know two things who started that fire years ago and who pushed you off the balcony I don¡¯t know why but I feel that this two incidents are connected in a way¡±.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry that I¡¯m not really helpful but I can¡¯t remember anything about that day¡±.

    Liam embraced his mum easing the tension that was already starting to build up, he needed to find some certain things. He could sense a conspiracy but by whom?

    ..

    .

    Nichs entered his grandfather¡¯s study room ¡°Grandfather, here you are¡±¡­

    Old Grayson hurriedly closed the file that he was holding cing it in a drawer next to him which Nichs found a bit suspicious.

    ¡®What is this old man up to now? Nichs asked inwardly.

    ¡°What is it boy? you should learn to knock sometimes¡±.

    ¡°Sorry grandfather but there¡¯s something urgent that came up now it¡¯s about Amelia¡±

 Chapter 56_ Engaged 1

    Nichs eyes trailed off to the drawer which his grandfather just locked before inserting it in his pocket.

    Old Grayson cleared his throat to gain back Nichs attention. ¡°What did you find about her?¡±

    ¡°She left the hospital a while ago with a medical report and also she is attending the event this night¡±

    ¡°Well that¡¯s great! if she attends the event then it¡¯s okay, and do something for me find out what report is that, I just hope my fears don¡¯te to pass¡±.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Louisa checked her wrist watch for the umpteenth time, she cursed silently wondering where Dn was.

    Not too long his car stopped right in front of her horning for her to hop in. She opened the backseat of the car to get in but felt her arm being pulled out.

    ¡°Hey let me¡­ Jake?¡±

    Dn came down from his car and stood in front of them.

    Dn held her other arm and pulled her to his side ¡°She is a living thing not some object that you can swindle around¡±. Dn spoke angrily.

    Jake¡¯s anger rose up, this guy always try to make him look bad in front of Louisa. ¡°She is my girlfriend! don¡¯t try to act like her husband¡±.

    Louisa sighed whenever these two meets they always create a scene. ¡°Come on you both don¡¯t start this again and Jake please we arete for a business meeting¡±.

    ¡°Louisa don¡¯t you see that he is trying to create a wedge between us? he is just looking for excuses to be with you!¡± Jake reasoned shaking her shoulder lightly.

    Louisa held his two hands ¡°What are you saying? you know how much I love you! Dn is just my boss nothing more and we can never share that kind of rtionship you are driving at!¡±.

    Dn felt the air around his seize, his heart ached as he heard those words escape her lips. Jake embraced Louisa, that was all he wanted to hear. He didn¡¯t miss the pain that shed past Dn¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°I love you too babe¡± Jake said as he pulled out from the embrace, he slowly dropped his hand down to her waist while maintaining eye contact with Dn.

    Louisa felt ufortable acting intimate with Jake in the presence of Dn. She nced towards his direction but he returned back to the car.

    Jake¡¯s lips drew a victorious smile as he watched his opponent leave, He knew well enough that Dn has something for his girlfriend.

    Louisa bade Jake good bye and turned to leave but was drawn back. ¡°Not so fast, aren¡¯t you forgetting something?¡±.

    Dn¡¯s grip on the steering thightened as he watched the two share a kiss. He gently ced his head on the headrest with his eyes closed.

    Louisa got into the car putting on her seatbelt, she turned to Dn when she noticed that he was oddly quiet. She touched his hand on the steering wheel.

    Dn retracted his hand ¡°You told me that you both are no longer together¡±.

    Louisa smiled at his words ¡°And you believed it? hell no!¡±.

    ¡°We are runningte¡±

    ..

    Allison squealed in excitement when she saw her dress, she was sure that no one would beparable to her tonight at theunching ceremony.

    ¡°Hey make sure my hair and makeup is to perfection, I want Liam¡¯s whole attention to be on me and no one else!¡± She snapped at her maids.

    There was a slight knock on the door before it was pushed open to reveal a tall young man. ¡°Big bro!¡± Allison eximed throwing herself in his embrace.

    Fred twirled his sister and nted a small kiss on her forehead. ¡°I¡¯m just so excited that you are here¡±.

    ¡°I missed you my little devil, get dressed I¡¯ll meet you downstairs¡±.

    Fred said and left the room, Allison¡¯s sharp eyes turned to her maids ¡°As you can see my brother is here make sure I look the best tonight¡±..

    ..

    At arge hall, filled with guests in morous outfit, the gathering of different business men and women. A limousine stopped and a guard came forward to open it.

    Liam stepped out, he was putting on a ck tuxedo with a hint of blue, immediately the media saw who it was they flocked around him totally ignoring his date.

    Allison fumed in anger none of the media and reporters were taking pictures of her. ¡°Ma¡¯am could you please move a little? I want to take a quick photo from this angle¡±.

    She threw down his camera before holding Liam¡¯s arm. ¡°Let¡¯s just go in¡± she said impatiently pulling Liam with her.

    These nosy media just ruined her mood, anyways her friends will be present tonight since she bragged a lot about she and liam getting married.

    Liam held her hand giving it a tight squeeze ¡°If you try as much as to touch me I¡¯ll cut off your filthy hands¡± Liam threatened in a hushed tone.

    Allison quivered under his fierce gaze ¡°Why? are you still thinking about her? well too bad¡±.

    Liam hissed in anger, he would have taught thisdy a lesson if he wasn¡¯t in the public, he needed to maintain a good profile tonight, he collected a ss of wine from a waiter passing by.

    Soon after loud murmuring engulfed the hall as a couple stepped into the hall hand in hand.

    Liam and Allison faced the direction causing the loud murmurs and whispers. His grip on his ss tightened.

    Allison stared at the dress Amelia was wearing and felt out of ce she was supposed to be the only one getting all the attention.

    Amelia held Kelvin¡¯s arm as she casted a nce at Liam who was boiling at the other end.

    ¡°I knew they were together¡±

    ¡°Yeah they met when they got signed at star entertainment and I heard they are shooting a movie together¡±.

    Liam turned to the twodies who were whispering among themselves. ¡°keep quiet!¡±..

    ..

    Kelvin swallowed hard as Liam threw him threatening gaze, ¡°Amelia are you sure about this? I¡¯m really getting ufortable, Mr Grayson keeps on sending me mean gazes¡±.

    Amelia followed Kelvin¡¯s line of sight, ¡°I¡¯ll be back¡±. she held her ss of red wine walking towards Liam and his date.

    Liam saw her approaching and his heart skipped a beat. She really meant business tonight, the dress fitted her perfectly.

    ¡°Mr Grayson! stop sending my date those mean looks, he isn¡¯tfortable with it¡±.

    Allison held Liam¡¯s arm before turning to the otherdy who was Amelia. ¡°Stop looking for excuses to throw yourself at my date¡±.

    Amelia shed a grin ¡°Hey there! I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t see you but I have a quick correction to make darling¡±

    ¡°why are you throwing yourself at my husband?¡±

    Allison swallowed hard, there was no way that she could beat thisdy when it came to arguments.

    Liam knew this wouldn¡¯t end well especially when his drama queen wife was present, he really needed to maintain his profile for tonight¡¯s event.

    ¡°You listen carefully actress¡­.¡±

    ¡°Amelia Grayson!¡± Amelia corrected in a low and authoritative tone.

    ¡°The sooner you start learning how to address me properly, the lesser your heartbreak will be¡±. Amelia added.

    Kelvin was a bit worried as he saw the twodies argue head on, he really didn¡¯t want to get involved in the Grayson¡¯s affairs but Amelia had pleaded with him to be her date just to get back at her husband.

    He hadn¡¯t forgotten how Liam almost destroyed his face at the hospital two days ago.

    He took in a deep breath and started walking towards Amelia..

    ..

    Old Grayson arrived with the other family members, this was the night that he had been looking forward to for thest two days after he came up with a brilliant n.

    Angie held Nichs shoulder lovingly ¡°Prince go on, mingle with a few business men and women you have to start practicing your new life once Liam is eliminated¡±.

    Nichs rolled his eyes at his mum jokingly ¡°Mum! why else did Ie here if not for ¡­.¡±This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    He trailed off staring in one direction, Angie followed his line of sight gnashing her teeth together. ¡°Son look at me, forget her she¡¯s bad news¡±.

    Nichs took his mum¡¯s hand in his ¡°She is your future daughter please respect her¡± he said before leaving.

    ¡°Just who does she think she is? she has managed to trap every guy in her clutches even my prince too¡±.

    Chloe scurried out of her mother¡¯s sight, she hid behind a table staring at the back of her target whom she had nned a sneak attack on since her mum doesn¡¯t want her to visit her big bro she came up with a mischievous idea.

    Old Grayson spotted Liam among the crowd in therge hall talking to a few business partners. He smirked at his foolish grandson who thinks that everything must go his own way.

    The MC climbed up on the podium and tapped the microphone a bit to gain everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Good evening to my fellow business men and women, as we all know we¡¯ve gathered here for theunching ceremony of the new project by the Grayson¡¯s groups ofpanies I would like to wee the host of this splendid event Mr Liam Grayson!¡±

    There was a huge round of apuse as Liam climbed the podium. He let out a little smile and started his speech.

    Angie looked up at the giant golden chandelier dangling over the podium and smiled.

    Meanwhile Amelia secretly admired her husband who was giving his speech but her eyes caught sight of a little girl leaving the hall. ¡°Isn¡¯t she Liam¡¯s step sister?¡±.

    She was a bit curious and followed the direction of where she went.

    Amelia found herself outside a garden and Chloe was nowhere to be found! ¡°Little girl ! where are you?e out dear¡±

    She was greeted by silence in return, she heard a shuffling sound in the nearby bushes and walked towards it. ¡°Are you hiding in there?¡±.

    ¡°Amelia!¡±

    Her hair stood on ends hearing her name, she turned around immediately she recognized the voice. ¡°Nichs¡±.

    His gaze darted to the bush ¡°Did you loose something?¡±

    She turned to the bush still checking around for the little girl ¡°yeah¡­.. I saw your little sister heading out this way but I can¡¯t find her¡±.

    Nichs looked around ¡°Well my sister is very mischievous I¡¯m sure she must have left by now¡±

    ..

    .

    Old Grayson stood on the podium right after Liam gave his speech. ¡°Well my grandson has said it all he has managed to lift ourpanies to the peak, and now for the second part of this event¡±.

    Liam raised his head to meet his grandfather¡¯s eyes, so as the rest of the guests. The hall was filled with whisper and murmurs.

    Dn nudged Liam ¡°What else are you nning to do?¡±.

    ¡°I wonder what he is up to now¡±.

    Louisa looked around for Amelia, she couldn¡¯t go far because of her heels. She hated wearing heels but what could she do? she didn¡¯t want to embarrass her date Dn.

    Old Grayson remained quiet until the noise died down before he continued his speech. ¡°I want to use this opportunity to announce to you about my grandson¡¯s alliance with Allison Williams the daughter of our mayor!¡±.

    The crowd let out a loud gasp before a round of apuse followed suite. This was really unbelievable and a shocking night for them, the media would definitely make a juicy news out of this.

    Liam¡¯s jaw clenched tightly, he took a step forward to object when his phone beeped..

    ..

    Liam walked forward taking Allison¡¯s hand gently pulling her out of her seat. He led her slowly towards the podium.

    ¡°And now to make things official between them¡±

    Angie¡¯s eyes widened at the turn of events, she had actually nned on making the giant chandelier crush Liam to death, but who knew that Liam wouldply to get engaged to Allison.

    Old Grayson handed the rings to the two for them to exchange. Liam looked around the crowd hoping to spot someone but he that was not possible now.

    Allison couldn¡¯t fathom Liam¡¯s sudden change in attitude. She felt endless joy when she felt the cold object sliding into her finger.

    Without wasting any more time she slipped the ring with her on Liam¡¯s finger.

    There was a round of apuse as Liam came down from the podium with Allison, the media were allowed toe into the hall to take pictures of Liam and Allison.

    Mark walked towards Liam in slow steps¡±So this was all your n?¡± Liam started.

    ¡°Son believe me when I say that your grandfather is responsible for all these, he purposely made me stay outte¡±.

    ¡°You never me yourself for anything Mr Grayson but whoever is responsible for this mess today will have me to contend with¡±

    Amelia returned back to the hall with Chloe and Nichs, she noticed the hall was overly rowdy. Louisa spotted Amelia walking into the hall.

    ¡°What is going on?¡± she asked Nichs curiously who shook his head slightly.

    ¡°Mr Grayson just got engaged to Allison Williams, the mayor¡¯s daughter¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s heart skipped a beat as she saw the shiny object gracing Liam and Allison¡¯s finger.

    Liam tried to keep his fake smile in front of the media, his gaze wandered around the hall till it locked with Amelia¡¯s eyes that were asking for exnation.

    He took a step forward to approach her before he could take another step she walked out of the hall.

    Liam felt a grip on his shoulder ¡°I gave you a warning Mr Grayson but you didn¡¯t heed to it, this is just a warning!¡±.

 Chapter 58_ I feel like a jerk!

    Liam was about to go after her but halted when he saw kelvin going after her, he pinched the space between his brow before turning to the person behind him.

    His powerful eyes met Fred¡¯s mocking ones. ¡°You should have thought things through before making such a move, no one messes with Liam Grayson and go Scot free!¡±..

    ..

    Amelia returned back to the garden taking in deep breaths. She crotched down taking off her heels that were starting to hurt her ankles. ¡°Damn you Liam!¡± she cursed throwing them far away from her.

    Kelvin ced his hand on her shoulder tofort her. ¡°Amelia are you alright?¡±.

    ¡°How can I be fine? that arrogant brat tricked me toe here only to witness his engagement, what a smart move he made¡±

    Kelvin held her face gently with his hands ¡°I¡¯m so sorry you had to witness this¡±. he said pulling her into his embrace.

    Louisa ran to Amelia pulling her out of Kelvin¡¯s embrace ¡°I¡¯m here now you can leave¡±.

    Kelvin creased his brow confusedly as he watched Louisa lead Amelia away.

    Louisa led Amelia to her car and was about to get in ¡°Where are you off to Lou? you should know by now that I hate losing and I¡¯m not about to give up just yet¡±.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Amelia opened her purse and brought out her red lipstick reapplying it on her lips drawing a line of confusion on Louisa¡¯s face..

    .

    Amelia returned back to the hall with all smiles as if nothing happened which bothered Louisa a lot, she knew her crazy friend was up to something.

    Liam saw her approaching him and avoided eye contact with her, he was a bit surprised when she passed by his side hitting his shoulder slightly with her¡¯s in the process.

    She walked towards Nichs who was speaking with his mum. ¡°Nick pleasee with me¡± She said pulling his hand.

    ¡°As you can see he is speaking with me find some other guy to throw yourself at!¡±.

    Amelia narrowed her eyes at her ¡°Excuse me?¡±.

    Nichs smiled awkwardly shunning his mum with eye gestures.

    ¡°You heard me¡±.

    ¡°Don¡¯t force words out of me or else you¡¯ll regret it, Nichs speak to your mum!¡±

    Nichs squeezed his mum¡¯s arm slightly ¡°Mum that¡¯s enough! you know how much I cherish thisdy here¡± he said in a lowered tone.

    Angie scoffed, words can¡¯t describe how happy she was about old Grayson¡¯s decision, if there was one thing she knew about Liam it was that he loves maintaining his profile in front of the media and business partners.

    Old Grayson was really smart to use what he loves the most against him, there was no way that Liam would get out of this mess easily without his name being dragged down.

    ¡°Prince, I think you need to go home now and find out what your grandfather is hiding in that drawer which you talked about since he¡¯ll be busy here¡± Angie whispered to receive a nod from Nichs.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Amelia but I have to leave now something urgent just came up¡± Nichs apologized before leaving.

    Amelia turned around to leave but was stopped by Angie. ¡°Leaving so soon? I told you once before that Liam will only use you and toss you aside like a piece of nothing and now look at what he did¡± Angie scorned.

    Amelia turned to her with a sharp re ¡°Don¡¯t try to judge other people¡¯s character when you are worse yourself¡±.

    ¡°Hey child don¡¯t disrespect me!¡± Angie raised her voice a little while pointing her index finger at Amelia.

    Amelia flicked Angie¡¯s finger pointing at her and smiled mockingly. ¡°Whatever you or anyone else do or say you can¡¯t change the fact that I¡¯m Liam¡¯s wife the sooner you all start epting it the better for you!¡±..

    ..

    Liam felt suffocated in the hall since Allison decided to stick to him all through, Amelia¡¯s nonchnt attitude towards the sudden engagement seemed to bother him a lot.

    ¡°Liam you don¡¯t have to worry about anything dear my brother will handle and process your divorce with that actress¡± Allison said rubbing his arm slightly.

    Liam pulled away from her as if stung by an insect¡­

    The next morning

    Louisa touched Amelia¡¯s head and retracted her hand immediately. ¡°Amy! you are burning hot¡± Louisa panicked slightly.

    Amelia opened her heavy eyelids, it was obvious from her swollen eyes that she cried herself to sleep.

    ¡°forget about it, you know how much I hate hospitals and doctors please don¡¯t send me there I¡¯ll get better once I¡¯m alone¡±.

    Louisa sighed patting Amelia¡¯s hair slowly ¡°Amy, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s time you talk to Liam? he must have a reasonable exnation for getting engaged to Allisonst night¡±.

    Amelia sniffed back her tears remembering what transpiredst night. ¡°I feel like a jerk! how could I make a stupid mistake for the second time, I faced something simr like this with Greg and now Liam¡±.

    Louisa was touched by Amelia¡¯s plight, when she broke up with Greg she didn¡¯t shed a tear for him so why now?.

    There was a knock on the door which diverted Louisa¡¯s attention. ¡°I¡¯ll be back¡±.

    Louisa opened the door, the guard immediately stepped in without seeking permission. ¡°Hey how rude of you¡± sheshed out immediately.

    However the guard was in no mood for her drama, he took out a file handing it over to Louisa. ¡°Young master has instructed me to give this documents to sign before the end of the day¡±.

    Louisa scanned the papers with worry ¡°This is¡­.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯lle to get it before the end of today¡± he announced and left the apartment.

    She sighed, how on earth was she to break this news to Amelia? a shattering sound brought her out of her thoughts. Louisa nced at the broken pieces of vase with Amy resting on the table.

    ¡°Those are the divorce papers am I right?¡± Amelia asked in a low tone.

    Louisa dropped the file on the table walking towards Amelia. ¡°Something is wrong Amelia, why don¡¯t you talk to Liam about it¡±

 Chapter 59_ Her cute anger

    Louisa massaged her head as she watched Amelia leave in a hurry. ¡°What is she made of?¡± She mumbled.

    Amelia arrived at Liam¡¯spany but had a problem going in since the guards weren¡¯t letting her go in. ¡°Let me in this minute!¡±.

    ¡°Ma¡¯am boss instructed us not to let anyone into the building¡± the guard replied to receive a tight p from Amelia.

    ¡°If you all stop me one more time then I¡¯ll make sure my fingers are imprinted on your weird faces¡±.

    They cowered back letting her pass through, the rest of the guards sympathised with the guard that got pt. ¡°sorry man we know how much your cheek must be hurting now after all we are victims of her ps¡± one of them joked.

    Amelia pushed open the door leading to Liam¡¯s office ignoring the secretary running after her ¡°miss he is having a meeting!¡±

    Liam raised his head towards the door that flung open. He wasn¡¯t so surprised on seeing her here at the moment.

    Amelia¡¯s hazel orbs shone with anger as she matched towards him. ¡°What the hell is this Liam?!¡± she screamed at him throwing the divorce papers at him.

    Liam caught hold of one of the papers flying around him, he took a nce at it and returned his gaze back to her. ¡°And what is wrong with it?¡± His cold deep voice resounded in her ears.

    ¡°We were bound to go our separate ways once the contract expires¡­

    Amelia picked up a pen from the table and hurled it at him. ¡°You jerk!¡± she yelled walking around the table to stand in front of him.

    She grabbed his cor shaking him slightly ¡°Mr Arrogant have you forgotten that it¡¯s almost impossible to get rid of me? and what were you thinking when you chose to drag that joker into our lives?¡±.

    She stared down at the ring on his finger ¡°You got engaged to herst night in front of the media! your engagement with her is trending all over the inte ¡°.

    Amelia held his hand and pulled out the ring on his finger throwing it far away from their eyes reach.

    Liam pulled her hands off his cor and stood up overshadowing her with his height that she unknowingly took a step back.

    ¡°will you stop this madness? I have important things to do at the moment please help yourself out!¡±.

    Amelia narrowed her eyes at him ¡°I need exnations Liam! what made you get engaged to Allisonst night!¡±.

    Liam avoided her interrogative stare and questions ¡°sign those papers¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s lips parted slightly staring at Liam in awe, she could tell that something was off with Liam¡¯s odd behavior. ¡°Is your grandfather responsible for all these? tell me something Liam¡±

    ¡°Sign those divorce papers, don¡¯t worry I¡¯ll double yourpensation fee¡±.

    Amelia smiled at him which troubled him greatly, whenever she smiles like that he knew something was crazy wasing for him. He mentally prepared himself for whatever was toe.

    He watched her gather the scattered piece of papers on the floor before she started moving towards him slowly. ¡°I¡¯ll sign this divorce papers Liam¡±.

    Liam raised a brow he doubts if she would do that without giving a fight for it. ¡°Great!¡± he eximed handing her a pen.

    Amelia obediently collected the pen, liam watched her scribble down on the piece of paper, he was still unable to believe that she would actually sign it.

    ¡°Here I signed it!¡± she said passing it to him. ¡°And remember Mr Arrogant I¡¯m impossible to get rid of¡± she added before leaving his office.

    Liam couldn¡¯t deny the fact that a part of his heart wanted her to shred the papers to tiny bits.

    Liam ced the divorce paper on his table and was about to sit when he caught sight of what she scribbled down.

    ¡®Until the one year contract marriage

    between us is over I won¡¯t sign this

    divorce papers jerk!¡¯

    His lips drew a smile, he knew it! she wasn¡¯t the one to back down so easily without giving a fight over it. It seems Allison has a toughpetitor..

    ..

    Louisa was a bit startled when the door mmed. ¡°Amy? how did it go?¡±

    Amelia ignored Louisa interrogative question and went towards her wardrobe packing all her clothes into her pink suitcase.

    Louisa was dumbfounded by her sudden behavior ¡°Are you nning to run away? tell me something! where are you packing to?¡±.

    Amelia turned to Louisa for a brief moment before zipping the box. ¡°Well I¡¯m going on a vacation¡±.

    ¡°What? can Ie along?¡± Louisa asked with a glee in her tone.

    ¡°Nope!¡±

    Louisa¡¯s grin turned upside down ¡°Well thanks for the aodation but I really need this right now so bye¡±.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Louisa nodded and hugged Amelia before bading her goodbye as soon as the door closed Louisa smirked, she knew exactly where her mischievous friend was going..

    .

    Liam returned home with his pest of a fiance, he could tell that something was different in his house but he couldn¡¯t point a finger at it.

    He just hope this leech doesn¡¯t snoop around his house and find his mum. ¡°Hmm not bad just as I imagined your interior design to look like, you have such high taste in quality butck a bit when ites to colors¡±.

    Liam was totally oblivious to her questions after his nose was attacked by a strong aromaing from the kitchen.

    After he fired his old chef, the new one seemed a bit okay but this was the first time he perceived the aroma from his chef.

    ¡°Hmm Liam I can¡¯t wait to have dinner¡±.

    Allison noticed the stare and hateful gaze the servants were giving her.

    ¡°Wait over there!¡± Liam strictly instructed her in a harsh and cold tone before going up to his room.

    Allison threw herself on the couch ¡°Wow! this is the life I¡¯ve been dreaming of, I¡¯m the new mistress of this house¡± She screeched excitedly.

    Liam opened the door to his room and at the same time the bathroom door opened.

 Chapter 60_ Stuck in between

    Liam was dumbstruck, Amelia who just stepped out of the bathroom with a white towel around her body and on her head was a bit startled by his sudden appearance.

    Surprisingly her body wasn¡¯t wet at all there was no trace of water to prove that she just stepped out of the shower.

    She walked past him heading to the vanity table, he noticed all her things were back there again.

    ¡°What are you doing here?¡±.

    Amelia ignored his question while she raised her legs on a stool applying her body lotion on her legs exposing her fair and smooth thighs.

    Liam swallowed hard as he watched her hand movements up and down her leg.

    His eyes widened when she was about to take off her towel. ¡°Stop it now!¡± he said in a deep voice walking forward to stop her from taking her towel off.

    ¡°What the hell are you doing?¡±

    His familiar scent waft through her nose, she looked up to meet his gaze.

    ¡°Stupid! do you really think I¡¯ll pull off my towel? move aside¡±

    Amelia allowed the towel drop down to her feet to reveal an armless top with a mini skirt that barely touched her thigh.

    Liam¡¯s breathe hung on his throat as he stared at her. He couldn¡¯t understand what she was trying to do sometimes he fails to understand her.

    Why would anyone in their right mind put on a towel when clothed?

    Amelia noticed how ufortable he was getting with her outfit but she didn¡¯t give a damn about it. She pulled off the towel holding her hair letting it cascade down her shoulder.

    Liam took notice of her new hairstyle with a fringe falling on her forehead.

    ¡°You know today i met kelvin and he suggested this hairstyle but you know what I¡¯ve been living with a man for some months and he never told me about my hairstyle what a loser he is!¡±

    Liam massaged his head he could feel a headacheing soon since there were twodies in his house who despised each other.

    ¡°That wasn¡¯t my question Amelia!¡±

    Amelia tapped her chin slightly staring at him from the mirror in front of her. ¡°You know this is the second time you¡¯ve addressed me by my name which makes me wonder why you don¡¯t say my name¡±

    Liam sighed in frustration pulling her up from her sitting position. ¡°What are you doing back here? I thought I made mention of the fact about our divorce¡±.

    Amelia used theb on her hand to hit his hand that was almost squeezing her arm. ¡°Let go!¡±

    ¡°Yeah you mentioned a divorce but I didn¡¯t sign the paper which means I¡¯m still your wife and I have every right to be here¡±.

    Liam¡¯s lips curved upwards slightly remembering the note she left on the divorce papers.

    She picked up her phone from the vanity table that was vibrating. ¡°Hey dear I¡¯ll be there in a few minutes¡± she said in a low tone which didn¡¯t miss Liam¡¯s curious ears.

    ¡°Look Liam I don¡¯t know what you are trying to prove here but I¡¯mte for a date so please help yourself to dinner¡±.

    ¡°What? dressed like that?¡±

    Amelia shrugged putting on her ck heels ¡°I can dress however I like duh! who are you to decide?¡±.

    Liam was left in a trance which broke as soon as he heard the door close..

    ..

    Allison who already helped herself to the dining dug into the meal the cooks dished out on the table her attention diverted from her meal when she heard soft clicks of a heel descending the stairs.

    ¡°is there ady in the house?¡±

    Amelia tapped her head as if remembering something, she had actually forgotten to tell the cooks to send dinner to her mum inw.

    She was on her way to the kitchen when she spotted ady eating in the dining area. ¡®who the hell is that?¡¯ she asked herself inwardly going towards the dining area.

    Liam came down hurriedly but it seems that he was toote, Amelia already reached Allison. Allison looked up when she felt someone behind her.

    She choked on her ss of water when she saw who was behind her. The look of surprise crossed their faces as they red furiously at each other.

    ¡°How dare you step into my home?!¡± Allison barked rising to her feet.

    Amelia faced Liam with a questioning look ¡°Your home?¡± Ameliaughed out.

    Liam swallowed as he stared at the two drama queens, he really wanted to know where this would end but he knew he would suffer the damage caused.

    ¡°Liam you didn¡¯t tell me that you would bring a guest home if not I¡¯ll have made sure to cook enough meal by looking at the table one would know that she had been starving all her life!¡±

    Allison¡¯s face reddened in anger and embarrassment, she knew she had arge appetite but there was no need for Amelia to rub it on her.

    ¡°What are you doing back here? you and Liam are no longer a couple I¡¯m his fiance¡±.

    Amelia sighed at the foolishdy in front of her ¡°You know what society callsdies like you? a mistress, the otherdy, a fling, a bed warmer, a home destroyer! I can go on and on when ites to giving you names¡±

    ¡°Listen to me actress¡­..

    ¡°Amelia Grayson!¡± Amelia corrected cing her phone and purse on the dining table.

    ¡°Don¡¯t forget that! I don¡¯t know why you are so obsessed with my husband don¡¯t you understand? he is taken¡±.

    Allison looked towards Liam for support but he faced away avoiding her eyes. He couldn¡¯t deny the fact that he was having a good time watching the two argue and fight over him. He felt like a priced possession.

    ¡°You im that he is your husband but who else on earth knows that? no one! it clearly shows how cheap he takes you as!¡± Allison replied scornfully.

    ¡°But my engagement to him is the most trending news all over the inte, so you see actress you are notparable to me in any way!¡±.

    Amelia raised her hand to hit Allison but was caught mid air by Liam. ¡°that¡¯s enough already! don¡¯t you know how to respect my fiance?¡±.

    Liam said obviously trying to provoke Amelia. Allison was on cloud nine when she heard how Liam scolded Amelia for her sake.

    Her once smiling face fell as soon as Amelia picked up the bowl of chocte cake on the dining pressing it against her face which was meant for dessert.

    She pulled Liam¡¯s hand away from hers ¡°You! teach your mistress to stay away from the real mrs. of the house!¡± Amelia said picking up her phone and purse before leaving the house.

    Allison opened her mouth in shock wondering what just happened.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    ¡°I hope this teaches you never to invite yourself to my house ever again!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll make sure that my brother hears about this!¡± Allison screamed wiping off the cake from her face but Liam was long done.

 Chapter 61_ Jealous Liam

    Amelia sat inside the car for a while with her eyes closed. ¡°get out!¡± she ordered with her eyes still closed. The driver nodded and left the car while Amelia took over the driver¡¯s seat.

    She nced one more time at the building where she sighted Allison scurrying out as if she was being chased by a demon.

    She watched Allison drive out before leaving as well..

    ..

    Nichs opened the documents he stole from his grandfather¡¯s study and started going through it.

    Angie rose up to her feet when she saw the ufortable look on her son¡¯s face. ¡°Prince what is it? what is it all about?¡±.

    ¡°Grandfather¡¯s darkest secrets¡± Nichs mumbled raising his head to meet his mum¡¯s curious eyes.

    ¡°What? tell me boy and cut the suspense!¡± Angie impatiently mumbled.

    Nichs handed the file to his mum who went through it. ¡°Oh my goodness! so old Grayson is responsible for that incident and he hid it all these years no wonder the police couldn¡¯t solve the mystery¡±

    Angie was shocked to the core as she read through.

    ¡°Grandfather is really creeping me out how can that oldie hide something big like this from us?¡± Nichs retorted.

    Mark opened the door to his bedroom and was a bit surprised to see his wife and son, he checked the time to find out it was a bitte. Whenever this two were alone it always mean trouble.

    They n on how to get rid of Liam or how to create so much problem in the family. ¡°What is going on here?¡±

    Nichs hid the file behind him smiling awkwardly at his dad. ¡°Well nothing, I just came here to show mum this really great presentation I made for ourpany¡±

    Mark knew that wasn¡¯t the case here but he chose to believe. ¡°wow great you¡¯ve finally started to be responsible by the way let me see the presentation I want to make sure it¡¯s for the good of thepany¡±.

    Angie¡¯s eyes widened, she turned to Nichs in worry. ¡°We. ll mark¡­. I checked everything and it was great don¡¯t worry about it¡±

    ¡°Yes dad! mum already checked it¡± Nichs added.

    ¡°But I insist!¡±

    Mark seconded which jolted the two out of their reverie, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads as they thought of a suitable excuse.

    ¡®Oh goodness, if mark sees this then everything will be ruined¡¯ Angie said inwardly.

    Mark stared at the two who barely moved a muscle, his suspicion was affirmed he knew these two were up to no good just as always.

    Angie took a step forward striking her foot against the cushion. ¡°Arghh!¡± she screamed falling to the ground.

    ¡°Mum!¡± ¡°Angie!¡±

    Nichs and mark called out as they reached out to help her up.

    ¡°It hurts a lot!¡±.

    Nichs ced the file on the drawer helping his mum to the bed. ¡°Looks like you sprained your ankle¡± mark said while examining her foot.

    Mark walked towards the closet to get the first aid kit.

    Angie smacked Nichs arm ¡°You fool! take the file and get out!¡± sheshed out in a tone almost like a whisper.

    Nichs nodded and took the file unknown to him a page fell out slipping under the cushion.

    Angie sighed in relief when he was gone, she resumed her false cry when she saw mark returning with a balm.

    ¡°I¡¯ll apply this to your ankle, it might prevent it from getting swollen¡±.

    Amelia took a shot of alcohol staring at the strip dancers on the stage.

    ¡°Woah Amy! go easy on yourself if you keep going like that then I have to carry you all the way home¡±. Louisained.

    ¡°Why am I feeling this way? so what if he got engaged to little miss Allison I¡¯m still his wife! those nose poking Grayson better understand that¡±..

    Louisa stopped Amelia from taking another shot of alcohol. ¡°Don¡¯t you get it? Liam must have a reason for what he did¡±.

    Amelia shove Louisa¡¯s hand away from her hand ¡°You support him every single time but I have to teach Mr Arrogant that nobody cheats Amelia! and as for that Allison I¡¯ll make sure I scratch her face so bad that no guy will ever look at her¡±.

    Louisa chuckled at Amelia¡¯s outburst, she was indeed happy for her stubborn ass friend who is gradually falling for her Mr Arrogant.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

    ¡°you sound like a jealous wife¡±

    ¡°Me? jealous? of who?¡­..

    Louisa rolled her eyes at Amelia¡¯s naiveness ¡°Don¡¯t you see? you are upset with Liam¡¯s alliance with Allison because you¡¯ve started falling for him¡±.

    Amelia scoffed ¡°As if! I don¡¯t like him one bit hmp!¡±.

    Louisa massaged her head slightly she might have to spend the entire night to exin things to her dear friend..

    ..

    Liam rested his head on Brianna¡¯sp who was sitting on a wheelchair, she ran her fingers through his hair softly. ¡°Are you alright dear?¡± Brianna asked worriedly.

    Liam sighed and let out a soft groan, he loves it whenever his hair was being caressed. ¡°Mum I figured out that old Grayson is in cohorts with the mayor¡¯s son, they both staged my engagement to Allison¡±¡­

    Brianna¡¯s hand that was caressing Liam¡¯s hair froze for a while. ¡°And what about Amelia? Why would you let your grandfather make decisions for you?¡±

    Liam sighed taking his mum¡¯s hand ¡°Trust me mum, never in my wildest dreams have I imagined myself with that trickster Allison I only got engaged to her because of Amelia¡±.

    Liam said and stood up from his crotched position.

    Brianna looked up at him with worry evident in her eyes, her mind was clouded with the thoughts on what could have possibly made Liam get engaged to Allison.

    ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°Amelia was at gunpoint without her knowing, I received a video clip as soon as old Grayson made the announcement of my alliance with Allison¡±.

    ¡°Mum I couldn¡¯t object to the proposal at that point I felt helpless¡±.

    Brianna held his arm lowering him back down, she touched his face slightly. ¡°Dear we tend to do the wrong things when ites to saving the lives of our loved ones¡±.

    Liam blinked confusedly at his mum ¡°What are you trying to say?¡±

    Brianna smiled at him ¡°Amelia moved back in when she found out about your engagement, which means she isn¡¯t ready to leave you yet, go on dear sleep over it and think about it all you want till you get an answer¡±.

    Liam smiled ¡°Of course I will¡±.

    He helped her move from the wheelchair to her bed and tucked her in before nting a soft kiss on her head. ¡°Goodnight¡± he whispered into her ears.

    Liam came out of the room and headed downstairs, he took a quick nce at the clock, it was past eleven already and Amelia wasn¡¯t back yet.

    He dialed her line severally but she wasn¡¯t taking any of his calls.

    Liam returned back upstairs to his room after waiting for almost an hour. Soon after he heard a car pull over.

    Amelia sat in the car for a while, she nced up at the window to see Liam¡¯s bedroom light still on. A silly thought ran into her mischievous mind the next minute.

    She ran her hand through her hair to mess it up a bit, she took out a small bottle of male cologne from her purse. ¡°This will be fun¡±.

    Liam nced up from hisptop when he heard the door open. He couldn¡¯t help but feel angry seeing her disheveled state.

    ¡°You came back sote¡±

    Amelia rolled her eyes walking towards the couch where he was currently sitting on, she opened a drawer next to him pretending to look for something in there.

    ¡°Hmm I didn¡¯t notice how time flew so quickly, I almost had second thoughts of having a sleepover¡±.

    Liam smelt the male cologneing from her and frowned.

    ¡°Looks like you had a good time entertaining other men¡±.

    Amelia gasped slightly before shutting hisptop close. ¡°Mr Arrogant! don¡¯t try to act all innocent I learnt it from you¡±.

    Liam rose to his feet grasping her chin slightly. ¡°Staying outte at night! visiting bars and then you spend time with other men¡±.

    Amelia held his hand pulling it off her chin ¡°Are you trying to rip my pretty face off? listen to me Liam I have every right to live the way I want¡±.

    ¡°I don¡¯t appreciate it when you dress up like this and visit barste at night and why weren¡¯t you taking any of my calls?¡±

    Amelia smirked, seems like her n finally paid off. ¡°Your calls were annoying and simply ruining my beautiful time!¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    Liam was left in a daze for a few seconds

    ¡°Why should I exin myself to you when you never told me about your sudden engagement to Allison¡±.

    Liam pinched the space between his brows with a hiss. ¡°Please don¡¯t bring that up now I have a reason for what I did, but you?¡±.

    Amelia ignored his tantrums and walked away, she smiled in victory, she finally got what she wanted.

    Liam waited patiently for her to freshen up, heid at his part of the bed staring at the ceiling. He felt like screaming his heart out, he was really mad when he saw Amelia¡¯s state.

    Has she already moved on with her life?

    Amelia came out of the closet to see the troubled look on his face, she turned a blind eye to it andid at the edge of the bed creating a big distance between them.

    ¡°By the way are you going back to the saloon?¡±

    Amelia turned towards him when he suddenly spoke.

    ¡°To do what?¡± She touched her hair unconsciously

    ¡°To get back your money¡±

    Amelia¡¯s lips parted in shock and disbelief. ¡°You arrogant brat!¡±

    She picked up a pillow hitting him with it ¡°You have no idea of how many guysplimented my new hairstyle¡±

    She smacked the pillow at him again. ¡°Everyone told me that I was a cutie but my husband is making jest of me how sad¡±.

    Liam caught the pillow with one hand while his other hand encircled her waist, he pulled her closer to him.

    ¡°I guess they were telling the truth then!¡±

 Chapter 62_ Fredâ€™s ordeal

    Liam raised his hand brushing her hair gently ¡°They were not wrong but I find this new look rather¡­¡­.

    ¡°Are you trying to criticize me? look Mr Arrogant I know I look pretty even your fiancee can¡¯t bepared to me¡±. she sucked.

    Liam chuckled at her childish behavior ¡°Hmm I know, by the way what you did to Allison tonight will forever be imprinted in her memory¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s mood turned sour recalling how that little miss donkey imposed her rights on Liam, her cheek turned crimson red remembering the words Louisa said to her that might be true.

    ¡®You¡¯ve started developing feelings

    for Liam¡¯

    ¡°I had to do something, how dare she try to steal my position as your wife if she tries that again I¡¯ll break her jaw!¡±

    Liam¡¯s thoughts drifted back to what his mum said to him minutes ago, ¡®Could it be true? does she want to stay with me?¡¯

    There was an awkward silence between them as they were both lost in their own thoughts. Ameliaid back on the bed.

    ¡®Have I really fallen for Mr Arrogant? arghhhhh!!!¡¯ she screamed inwardly..

    ..

    Liam opened his eyeszily, he turned to his side to find it empty and cold.

    Amelia sat up on the couch adjacent to the bed when she saw Liam smiling to himself, ¡®What could be wrong with him?¡¯

    Liam pulled the duvet off his body and was about to get down when he spotted Amelia sitting on the couch while reading a magazine.

    ¡°You?¡±.

    Amelia raised her head from the magazine which she was reading. ¡°What a nice way to greet your wife so early in the morning!¡± she said rolling her eyes.

    Liam¡¯s eyes turned to the clock ¡°It¡¯s past nine why didn¡¯t you wake me up?¡±

    Amelia closed the magazine walking up to him ¡°Mr Arrogant do you think that I¡¯m your rm clock? why are you ming me when it¡¯s you who sleptte!¡±.

    Liam sighed walking into the bathroom for a quick shower.

    minutester he came out with a towel loosely hanged around his waste while he used another towel to rub his hair. He nced towards the bed to find it empty.

    He ced both his hands on his waste staring at her but she was on a call.

    Liam walked to the closet to pick something to wear. He took out a ck shirt examining it for a while.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°You know when Greg and I were still together I never allowed him wear a ck shirt because it makes him look like a demon instead I prefer it whenever he wears blue¡± She said to the person at the other end of the phone.

    Liam ced the ck shirt back and took out a blue shirt instead.

    After he was gone Amelia ended her fake call, she needed to bring that arrogant husband of hers to his right mind.

    Liam came out of the closet ¡°Are you nning on getting back together with him?¡±

    Amelia tapped her chin as If in deep thought, ¡°Well you see Liam I¡¯m looking for a potential groom just Incase you and Allison eventually get married¡±.

    Liam walked towards her inrge strides pulling her up from her sitting position. ¡°potential groom? I¡¯m not dead yet and to hell with Allison!¡±

    Amelia¡¯s lips slightly parted ¡°Liam all I¡¯m asking of you right now is to tell me why you chose to end our rtionship so suddenly by involving Allison¡±.

    Liam avoided her questioning gaze, he didn¡¯t want to tell her anything, he knew how crazy she can be. She might just invite trouble for yourself.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry I can¡¯t just tell you that¡± he said in a lowered tone. Amelia raised a brow before pushing him to sit on the couch.

    ¡°Well it¡¯s fine then! until you tell me everything I won¡¯t stop looking for a potential groom and by the way I have four blind dates today so who knows the lucky man that might catch my attention today¡±.

    Sheshed out before leaving the bedroom, Liam opened his mouth staring at the closed door..

    ..

    Amelia stared at the building in front of her for a while before she decided to step in with two guards holding two briefcase each.

    She came across the butler who bowed slightly at her. ¡°Where is old Grayson?¡±

    The butler led her to his study ¡°Old master is with a¡­.

    Before he could say anything else she opened the door without knocking.

    ¡°Ding dong!¡± she said as soon as she entered the study room.

    Old Grayson¡¯s eyes widened by thedy¡¯s audacity, Fred also snapped his head to the door, he recognized her immediately as the popr tv actress Amelia Hart.

    ¡°How dare you¡­¡­¡±

    ¡°Save it oldie!¡±

    The room fell quiet, Fred¡¯s jaw dropped in atonishment. Old Grayson rose up at once ring furiously at the rude girl. ¡°I¡¯ve note here to exchange words with you neither will I listen to you¡±

    Fred rxed on his seat, he loved it! her character and her charisma. she was too bold which made him intrigued and was suddenly piqued.

    ¡°Few days back you tried to negotiate with me but today I havee for the same negotiation but this time it has a twist¡±

    ¡°This is the same money you offered me to leave Liam but today I¡¯vee here to return back your money with a request that you end Liam¡¯s engagement to Allison¡±.

    Old Grayson smirked ¡°You are indeed a foolish young woman¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes turned ferocious in the next minute ¡°But there¡¯s only one woman in Liam¡¯s life and that¡¯s me!¡±

    ¡°Then you must be mistaken youngdy!¡±

    Amelia turned to the other soul present in the room ¡°excuse me?¡±

    Fred stretched his hand towards her ¡± Fred Williams, Allison¡¯s older brother!¡±

    Amelia sneered at him ignoring his hand that was stretched in front of her. ¡°You must be thedy who made Allison think ofmitting suicidest night¡±

    Amelia¡¯s brow collided ¡°By the look of things she didn¡¯tmit suicide which is just too bad!¡±

    ¡°Hey!¡± Fred barked at her.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare raise your voice at me!¡± she seconded the next second.

    Things were getting heated in the room by the minutes.

    The door opened as Angie stepped in with mark, they heard noises a few seconds ago and we¡¯re curious to know what was going on.

    Angie scoffed on seeing Amelia, she never liked this actress for any reason.

    ¡°Allison will be Liam¡¯s wife whether by hook or crook!¡± Fred added.

    Amelia narrowed her eyes at him and snapped her fingers.

    ¡°This family has only one daughter inw and that¡¯s me Amelia Grayson! and no one can take away that right from me! not even Allison¡±

    Amelia stated before leaving the study where she met Liam¡¯s zing eyes in front of the door.

    ¡°You are here?¡±

    Without wasting any second he pulled her out with him.

 Chapter 63_ Blind dates

    Amelia struggled to release her arm from Liam¡¯s grip. ¡°You are hurting me Liam!¡±

    Liam released her arm immediately they got outside. ¡°What on earth are you doing here?¡±

    Amelia threw her face to the other side avoiding his eyes. ¡°Oh were you eavesdropping? then I guess you don¡¯t like the way I spoke to your soon to be brother inw¡±

    Liam sighed, she was really unbelievable at times. ¡°Will you just quit acting jealous?¡±

    Amelia gasped ¡°I¡¯m not jealous¡±.

    ¡°Then what are you doing here?¡± he said folding his arm.

    ¡°Well I came here to return the money your grandfather gave to me, his offer was too little so I tried to negotiate with him¡±.

    Liam raised his brow still not getting what she was trying to convey, and what money was she talking about?

    ¡°What money?¡±

    ¡°Well your grandad offered me a whooping amount of three hundred million in cash to leave you for Allison¡±

    Liam let out a sigh of relief, he was d that she chose to refuse the money.

    ¡°but I didn¡¯t ept it because I demanded for five hundred million you see?¡± Amelia added.

    Liam¡¯s once smiling face freezed and Amelia was the one enjoying the reactions on his face. ¡°Well I just hope he agrees to my demand on time, oh! I almost forgot I have a date so see you some other time¡± she said with a teasing grin before walking to her car.

    Liam was unable to move away from his current position all that kept resounding in his ears were Amelia¡¯sst words. Would she really leave him if offered that amount of money?

    The sound of that alone pisses him off, he nced back at the building before leaving also..

    ..

    James and Steven exchanged meaningful gazes, before they arrived at Liam¡¯spany Dn already warned them about cracking annoying jokes. But it seemed the two had blocks In ce of ears.

    ¡°Why are they here?¡± Liam asked obviously irritated by their presence. These two were the worstbinations ever, Dn shook his head in denial of them.

    ¡°Who else do you expect to be here? do you really think Dn will be able to give you a solution to your problem? this dude even sucks more than you when ites to the matter of the heart¡±

    Dn¡¯s lips twitched, James wasn¡¯t wrong, he really sucks a lot when ites to love he only used to be a yboy, he used to be the one to break girls heart but everything changed when he fell for Louisa. It was love at first sight.

    ¡°Look you both need to man up and tell thedies you like your feelings, or perhaps I should do it for you? I mean Liam¡¯s wife is so hot and pretty maybe I should go for her¡±.

    Liam¡¯s gaze darkened he stood up immediately to hit James but was held back by Dn. ¡°Hey bro let it go! you know how silly and mischievous he really is?¡±

    ¡°If you say anything of that sought again I¡¯ll behead you!¡± he threatened.

    Dn turned to James ¡°Do you really think that this is the right time for all these annoying joke? I warned you both¡­

    ¡°Save all those energy for Louisa! don¡¯t lecture us¡± Steven chipped in before Dn could finish.

    ¡°Alright that¡¯s it¡± Dn pressed the inte and almost immediately four guards came in.

    ¡°Take them out!¡± Dn ordered.

    The two stared at each other in awe and surprise although this wasn¡¯t the first time they were being thrown out of Liam¡¯spany.

    The guards pulled them up from their seat taking them out. ¡°Come on Liam we are your friends!¡± Steven said struggling a bit with the huge guard who hoisted him over his shoulder like a bag of nothing.

    ¡°I haven¡¯t even made a toast yet!¡±

    Silence returned back to the office once more, Dn¡¯s smiling face turned serious once more. ¡°Liam you know what James said was right I really suck when ites to this¡±.

    Liam tugged his tie several times, just thinking about what Amelia said to him a while ago seemed to disturb him a lot.

    ¡°I really don¡¯t understand what is going on in her crazy head, she sets herself up on blind dates¡­.

    Dn resisted the urge tough, he didn¡¯t want to be kicked or carried out by those huge guards. ¡°What do you expect? she is clearly hurt, the least you can do is to tell her about Fred¡±

    Liam shook his head objecting the idea ¡°No! I know how crazy she can get, she would really provoke Fred¡¯s anger, I could have stopped him if I wanted but my wife is involved so I have to think with a cool head¡±.

    There was a knock on the door before it pushed open. ¡°Boss we¡¯ve tracked ma¡¯am¡¯s location like you wanted she is currently at a restaurant¡±..

    ..

    Amelia stared at the weird guy in front of her, shezily sipped her juice. ¡®Why can¡¯t I find any guy more handsome than Liam?¡¯ she said inwardly.

    ¡°You know I love watching your movies I¡¯m a huge fan of your work!¡­¡­..

    Amelia massaged her head, this creepy guy just wouldn¡¯t stop praising her, he didn¡¯t even let her say anything.

    ¡°okay thank you I¡¯ll contact youter¡± the young man stood up and left.

    ¡°Next!¡± she called out softly while ticking out his name out of her list.

    Someone else took over the seat where the other guy just got up from.

    Amelia tapped her chin still focused on her notepad. ¡°Geez when will a perfect guy just walk in through that door and sit here?¡±This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°Hmm you can go on to say your name!¡±. she mumbled loud enough for the person in front of her to hear.

    ¡°Liam Grayson¡±.

    Amelia raised her head from her notepad when she heard his familiar masculine voice.

    Her jaw dropped in utter surprise,

    Liam let out a roguish grin which brightened his face.

    Amelia looked around, good thing she booked this whole restaurant for her dates if not another huge scandal will be created. ¡°Mr Arrogant? what are you doing here? as you can see I¡¯m really busy please leave now myst date is on his way here¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m your two o¡¯clock date!¡±

    Amelia squinted her eyes at him feeling lost ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    Liam pointed at her notepad. ¡°why don¡¯t you check for yourself¡±.

    Amelia pointed at thest name on her notepad ¡°your name isn¡¯t here this name here says L. G¡± she murmured which immediately dawned on her.

    Liam¡¯s lips carved a teasing smile while he watched her turn to different shades of red.

 Chapter 64_ Not fair!

    Amelia bit down her lower lip, she was gradually turning red by the minutes. ¡°This is not fair! you hid your true identity which is against the rules¡±

    Liam rxed on his seat ¡°You think I¡¯m unfair? well if you can go on blind dates even though you are married that makes us even¡±

    Amelia stood up from her seat feigning anger ¡°Fine then enjoy your date alone!¡±

    ¡°what? you can¡¯t just leave now! I arrived just in time for our date and you can¡¯t go until we are done¡±.

    Amelia grabbed her purse from the table ¡°Watch me leave then hmp!¡±

    Liam nodded his head in agreement, if she wants to leave then so be it!

    Amelia walked towards the door and tried to open it, she pushed it a few more times before she realized that it was locked.

    Liam rolled the keys on his index finger at the same time whistling.

    She turned back to him ¡°You locked the door!¡±

    Liam shrugged before walking towards her, when he was close enough to her his hands went around her waist pulling her closer to him.

    ¡°How will you leave now? you booked the whole restaurant while I shut it down for the rest of today which means neither of us will leave here until I give an order¡±.

    Amelia didn¡¯t want to let him win, she loves winning, infact winning was her obsession and now she must have the finalugh.

    She touched Liam¡¯s hand around her waist while making small movement on it with her finger. ¡°Well you see Mr Arrogant, you closed the restaurant but who would save you from my clutches?¡±

    Liam smirked at her words even though he failed to understand what she meant by that.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need any saving, I¡¯d rather be stuck here than anywhere else¡±.

    Amelia¡¯s cheeks flushed by his cheesy words that she instantly forgot what she nned on doing to him.

    Liam raised her face towards him with his finger ¡°So do you realize now that you are definitely not leaving here as long as I have the keys?¡±.

    ¡°I guess I give up then¡± she smiled which bothered Liam, he knew she was up to something.

    ¡°I hope you aren¡¯t plotting against me because it will definitely fail¡±

    Amelia nodded while Liam dropped his arm slowly from her waist. He led her back to the table. He sat back down on his seat nonchntly while she remained standing.

    ¡°What a true gentleman you are!¡± she sarcastically stated drawing out a seat for herself.

    Since he wouldn¡¯t let her out she would make sure to torture him so much, she needed to be on set in the next forty minutes.

    Liam cleared his throat ¡°You wanted to know why i got engaged to Allison¡±

    Amelia¡¯s ears stood on end as she listened carefully to him. ¡°Wow Liam! wow¡± she pped her hands. ¡°You address her by her name every single time while you call me whateveres to your mind, it looks like the both of you have been bonding well together behind my back¡±.

    Liam was caught off guard by her words attack ¡°Do you really have to show your jealous side now? I¡¯ll get back to why I don¡¯t address you by your name but for now I need you to listen carefully to me¡±

    ¡°Fine let¡¯s talk about little miss Allison!¡± She said while bunny quoting it..

    ..

    Fred paced around the room, his sister was already getting out of hand. ¡°Fred you have to do something about your sister she is always talking about ending her life¡± Mrs Williams said touching Fred¡¯s arm slightly.

    Fred was worried not because he couldn¡¯t give his sister all that she wanted but because of the otherdy.

    That actress posed as a threat to Allison, from the way she spoke today made him realize that she is really ready to fight for Liam.

    She didn¡¯t seem like someone who is scared of anyone not even old Grayson, gosh some character!

    ¡°Mum! I¡¯m trying my best here okay, I really didn¡¯t know that Liam Grayson was already married if I had known then¡­.

    ¡°You would have set me up with another guy?¡±

    The mother and son duo snapped their head to the door.

    ¡°Allison I meant that¡­¡­

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to hear anything from you big bro¡±

    Fred sighed walking towards her ¡°Listen Allison, I met Amelia Hart today and she was really one fiercedy I understand how you feel but¡­.

    ¡°You won¡¯t be able to help me? you all know how I¡¯ve been dreaming to get married to Liam I even left my studies just to make my dreamse true and you aren¡¯t willing to help me?

    Mrs Williams rolled her eyes at her daughter¡¯s emotional ckmail, she wondered when Fred will realize that Allison was really a spoilt brat.

    ¡°Ally that¡¯s not what I meant, if you really want Liam then I¡¯ll make sure that he will be yours¡± Fred promised pulling into a warm embrace.

    Fred stroke her hair gently, he has never gone back on his words when it came to his sister¡¯s happiness and demands so Amelia and Liam should get ready..

    ..

    Louisa nced at the wall clock in front of her, it was lunch time already but she still had a lot to do.

    Dn watched her movement for a while contemting whether to invite her for lunch or not.

    Luck smiled on him when he saw her leaving, he stood up immediately and went out of his office.

    ¡°Louisa¡±

    Lou looked up to him with a raised brow ¡°Yes boss¡±

    Dn¡¯s face scrunched hearing her address him as ¡®boss¡¯ he had corrected her several times but she just have a mind of her own.

    ¡°We are leaving for lunch some clients areing over for a business deal¡±.

    Louisa nodded before clearing her table, she noticed he was still standing behind her. ¡°Ummm why don¡¯t you go I¡¯ll meet you down¡±.

    ¡°Okay great!¡± Dn simply said walking away..

    ..

    Amelia bumped her head on the headrest after her car came to an abrupt halt. ¡°I¡¯m sorry ma¡¯am¡±

    ¡°Why did you stop?¡±

    ¡°Ma¡¯am some cars are blocking the way!¡±

    Amelia cursed and got out of the car, the guards who were tailing after her car also came out to know what caused the abrupt stop.

    The drivers from the cars blocking the way came down also.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes zed when she saw the person who dared to halt her movement.

    Fred smirked before sitting on his car bo ¡°Well actress we meet again!¡±

    Amelia¡¯s guards were ready to charge but were dismissed by her. She took bold steps towards him. ¡°Move your car out of the way joker¡±.

    Fred jumped down from his sitting position and took a step forward to her but surprisingly she didn¡¯t move back an inch.

 Chapter 65_ Iâ€™m not willing to share him 1

    Amelia pushed him back when he tried toe a little close to her. ¡°Just because you are the mayor¡¯s son that doesn¡¯t mean you can turn the road into yourfort zone, your father is working his ass off to take the city to it¡¯s peak but you are the one ruining his work with yourzy butt!¡±

    Fred regained his stance once again ¡°You speak too much, why don¡¯t you be awyer instead of wasting your time acting movies¡±.

    Amelia smiled at his kind suggestion ¡°Thanks for the suggestion but I think you should first apply that to yourself!¡±.

    Fred pulled Amelia towards his car¡¯s bo while cing both hands beside her trapping her in the process.

    ¡°Now listen I¡¯ll go easy on you only if youply and control that sharp tongue of yours, I really don¡¯t enjoy hitting women but I¡¯ll definitely enjoy torturing you till you¡­..

    Fred groaned loudly and crotched down after being kicked below the belt by Amelia. Fred¡¯s Henchmen stepped forward to hit Amelia but she dodged just in time while her own guards fought them off.

    In less than two minutes the whole ce turned rowdy, as Amelia¡¯s guards and Fred¡¯s Henchmen shed.

    Amelia ran towards her car but before she could get in. Fred held her arm drawing her back to face him.

    He raised his hand to hit her but to his surprise a strong grip held his hand from behind.

    Before Fred could see who the person was a punch was sent to his face causing him to crash to the ground.

    Amelia raised her head to see who her savior was only to find a pair of warm brown eyes staring at her. A soft gasp escaped her lips

    Fred rose up from the floor picking a fighting stance, ¡°Who knew that there was a twist in this story Karl? Fred scorned.

    ra alighted from a ck car not too far from them, she knew this ce was bound to get bloody as far as these two rivals were here. She ran towards Amelia pulling her out of the fighting scene.

    ¡°don¡¯t worry he¡¯ll be fine¡±

    ra assured but Amelia wasn¡¯t having any of it.

    ¡°Look I know that it would be hard for you to trust me now but there¡¯s no other choice¡±

    Amelia nodded and followed ra back to her car, as soon as she stepped into the car they heard the police sirens.

    ra gripped the steering wheel and sped off from the scene..

    ..

    Liam looked up when the door opened abruptly, his assistant hurriedly walked in breathless. ¡°Boss you have to watch the news!¡±

    Liam hurried into the hospital, his mind was already clouded with different negative thoughts. He wondered how many times his wife was going to visit the hospital in a month.

    He let out a sigh of relief when he saw her sitting in the waiting room. Amelia stood up immediately she saw him walking towards her worriedly.

    ¡°Liam you are¡­..

    He pulled her into his embrace not caring about what the people passing by would think or say.

    Amelia was breathless after Liam released her, he held her hand to confirm if she got hurt.

    ¡°Are you alright?¡±

    Amelia nodded while blushing crimson red, ¡°I¡¯m okay¡±

    Liam met ra¡¯s gaze and couldn¡¯t help but feel threatened. He could recall how she and her lover almost killed Amelia in that fire.

    As if reading his mind ra looked away, she knew what she and Karl did was inhumane but now that they¡¯ve realized their mistakes they hoped to correct it.

    Liam¡¯s face turned serious once more ¡°Can you see why I don¡¯t want to tell you anything about Fred? you¡¯ve created another set of enemies for yourself today¡±.

    Amelia looked down at her feet, it wasn¡¯t entirely her fault though. If Fred hadn¡¯t blocked her way then all these wouldn¡¯t have happened.

    Karl came out of the ward after his hand injury was treated, he sustained a cut while battling with Fred his biggest enemy.

    ra embraced him slightly examining his injury ¡°Thank goodness that you are alright! I was really scared¡±

    Karl patted her back softly ¡°I¡¯m good now let¡¯s leave¡±.

    ¡°Karl¡±

    Amelia called out, she walked towards him in slow steps.

    ¡°Thank you for saving me today, I¡¯m forever grateful¡±.

    Karl sneered at her ¡°I tried to end your life once and today I tried to save your life don¡¯t try to trust me I change every minute¡±.

    Karl took a nce at Liam ¡°Thighten the security around her Fred is vicious¡± Karl simply said and left with ra.

    Amelia watched them leave and felt sad, today Karl protected her just like any other older brother would.

    ¡°Are you feeling bad? yes! you deserve to be, I can¡¯t believe this you created another scandal today how will you fix that?¡±.

    Amelia shrugged ¡°Scandals don¡¯tst forever they disappear with time¡±.

    ¡°Oh really? I¡¯ll make sure to punish you so severely¡±.

    ¡°Oh my goodness I¡¯m so scared!¡± She jested with a toothy smile.

    ¡°And by the way Mr Arrogant I saw how worried you were a few minutes ago, were you really scared?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing more scary than you¡±.

    She gasped in surprise ¡°Mr Arrogant I¡¯ll make you pay dearly¡±..

    ..

    Brianna watched the news with a worried expression, she prayed silently for Liam and Amelia.

    She heard the unfamiliar car that screeched outside. ¡°Who could that be?¡±

    she turned towards her personal nurse who was standing behind her. ¡°Take me to my room¡± she ordered, since no one knew that she was still alive except Liam and Amelia she wanted to remain dead in the eyes of others until she could stand on her feet again.

    Allison marched into the house ¡°Where is Liam? I want to see him¡±

    The butler bowed slightly ¡°Miss, young master is not home yet¡±

    Allison nodded dismissing the old butler, since no one except the servants were present she decided to explore the house herself.

    When she passed by the dining she recalled what Amelia did to her, ¡°that b*tchy actress I¡¯ll put her in her right ce soon¡±

    She heard a sounding from one of the rooms upstairs. ¡°Is anyone there?¡± she called out but received silence in return.

    Her curiousity got the best of her as she climbed the stairs slowly to find out what made that noise.

    Brianna heard footsteps approaching her room, it sounded like heels, she turned off the lights and rolled her wheelchair to the back of the door.

    The door pushed open slowly and ady stepped in. ¡°Is anyone here?¡±

    The nurse who left a while ago panicked slightly seeing thedy who just entered the room, she was bound to get fired if thatdy sees Brianna.

    ¡°Excuse me¡± the nurse called out softly to Allison, Allison turned towards the nurse, she raised a brow at the nurse. ¡°Who are you?¡±

    The nurse cleared her throat ¡°Well I¡¯m young miss personal nurse¡±.

    Allison wondered why Amelia would need a personal nurse. ¡°why does she require a nurse if I may ask?¡±

    ¡°Ummmm she is pregnant you see? and Mr Grayson employed me to be her personal nurse to avoidplications¡±.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

    Allison felt like a huge blow has been given to her face. ¡°Pregnant?¡±.

    The nurse nodded whole itching her head weirdly. She watched the restless look on Allison¡¯s face before she stormed out in anger.

    The nurse returned back to Brianna¡¯s room and turned the lights on.

    Brianna rolled her wheelchair after the door was shut. ¡°Ma¡¯am I¡¯m sorry there was no other excuse that I could give¡±

    Brianna smiled at the nurse ¡°You have no idea of how happy I am for what you did, don¡¯t worry you¡¯ll receive a raise¡±

    Allison came down hurriedly from the stairs in anger and at the same time Liam and Amelia entered.

    ¡°What are you doing here?¡±

 Chapter 66_ Iâ€™m not willing to share him 2

    Allison casted Amelia a deadly re, her face hadpletely turned red she stepped slowly towards them.

    Liam couldn¡¯t believe that Allison would show her face in the house after what took ce between she and Amelia.

    ¡°I should be asking you that question! you¡¯ve managed to snatch Liam from me by using your conniving and treacherous ways!¡±

    Amelia narrowed her eyes at Allison to know exactly where she was driving at.

    ¡°If it¡¯s about what happened to your sad brother, I feel no remorse whatsoever and by the way I never snatched Liam¡±

    Amelia took a step forward ¡°He was always mine to begin with and I¡¯m not willing to share him with anyone most especially you!¡±

    Allison sniffed back the tears that were beginning to fall out of her eyes. ¡°You both have dered war, drac won¡¯t spare you¡± Allison said spitefully.

    ¡°Let hime I¡¯ll be waiting! he dared mess with my wife today believe me when I say this the countdown to his downfall begins tonight!¡±

    Allison swallowed hard staring at Amelia¡¯s t stomach, she couldn¡¯t believe that a child is really growing in there, her mind started plotting evilly the next minute.

    Amelia unconsciously touched her stomach when she saw how Allison fixed her whole attention on it.

    ¡°You¡¯ll hear from my brother soon enough¡± Allison said before leaving.

    Meanwhile Amelia felt lost in her own thoughts, that look Allison gave her creeped her out. Liam noticed her uneasiness and was a little concerned. ¡°Are you alright?¡±

    Amelia nodded her head to convince him, but she just couldn¡¯t describe the feeling she felt a while ago..

    ..

    Liam opened his eyes to see Amelia hovering around him, he sat up immediately feeling a bit suspicious by her weird behavior.

    Amelia who wasn¡¯t expecting him to wake up so soon hid her phone behind her back which made Liam more suspicious of her.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Amelia stood up from the bed at once and moved back when he came down from the huge mattress.

    ¡°I¡¯ve lived with you for quite sometime now and I know when you do silly things, tell me now and I might go easy on you¡±.

    Amelia mped her mouth with her palm resisting theughter that was about to burst out, she pointed towards the mirror.

    ¡°Go and have a look!¡±

    Liam tried to understand what was going on in that crazy mind of hers, he reluctantly walked towards the mirror.

    His eyes widened which made Amelia burst out inughter. ¡°Is that makeup?¡±

    Liam touched his face in shock, she even applied a red lipstick to his lips which made him look like one of those witches in movies.

    He turned to her with a questioning brow which further added to his funny look.

    ¡°Come on don¡¯t frown you look cute!¡± shemented in betweenughter.

    ¡°I will get you for this!¡±

    Amelia dashed off seeing as he was chasing after her.

    Brianna heard a series ofughter coupled by fast movements. ¡°Tina¡± she called out to her nurse.

    Tina moved quickly towards her ¡°Yes ma¡¯am do you need anything?¡±

    Brianna nodded ¡°Take me out I think something is going on¡±

    Tina nodded pushing her out of the room..

    ..

    Tina wheeled Brianna to the living room where they witnessed how Liam chased Amelia around the room.

    Brianna smiled at their cute behavior, this scene just made her day, she could see the genuine smile on their faces.

    She shook her head in shock on seeing Liam¡¯s face, she could now understand what must have happened.

    ¡°Hey you two¡±

    Liam and Amelia both stopped as soon as they heard Brianna¡¯s voice. ¡°So you two lovebirds don¡¯t know that other people reside in here?¡±.

    Liam walked towards his mum while Tina bowed slightly to him. ¡°Mum can you imagine what she did to my face?¡±

    ¡°Mum inw please tell him that he looks cute like that¡±.

    Brianna pulled Liam¡¯s ears gently ¡°If you really want to have this love y why don¡¯t you go on a honeymoon with your wife silly!¡±

    She whispered to him, Liam¡¯s face turned red in embarrassment. ¡°Mum will you stop teasing me now, you take her side always¡±..

    ..

    Mark sipped his hot tea staring out of his window, today was Brianna¡¯s death anniversary. Only he knew how much he loves her till date, nobody understands how he felt all not even his wife or children.

    ¡°Dad!¡± Chloe¡¯s tiny voice echoed in the room startling mark a bit. Without wasting anymore time she threw herself into his embrace knocking off his cup of tea.

    ¡°Oh princess! careful¡± Mark said picking her up in his arms. He walked away from the spilled coffee and broken pieces of ss.

    ¡°Daddy you know I heard grandfather saying that big bro will be here today is it true?¡±

    Chloe¡¯s big eyes stared at mark¡¯s dull ones with gleam. Mark simply nodded to assure her, heaven knows how Chloe adores Liam but Liam doesn¡¯t even spare her a nce.

    ¡°Don¡¯t go near the broken piece of ss I¡¯ll get a servant okay?¡±

    Mark nted a kiss on her cheek and went out of the room. In less than a minute a servant came into the room .

    Mark lifted Chloe walking towards the window ¡°Wow daddy it¡¯s really high from up here anyone who falls from here will break a bone¡±

    Mark forced a smile but deep down he was saddened because that was how exactly Brianna died.

    The servant pushed the cushion a little in order to clean the tea that was spreading. He took out a piece of paper that was stuck under the cushion. ¡°Master¡±

    Mark turned towards the servant ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°I found this piece of paper under the cushion it might be important¡±

    ¡°Throw it out¡± he ordered.

    The servant obliged and was about to crumple it when he read the first word ¡°Master this really looks important¡±

    Mark sighed frustratingly dropping his little princess carefully on the cushion. ¡°Let me see that¡± He collected the single piece of paper from the servant and went through it.

    His heart mmed against his ribcage as he read through the paper, he lost his stance and held unto the drawer for support.

    ¡°Daddy!¡± Chloe climbed down from the cushion to hold her dad from falling.

    ..

    .

    Old Grayson searched the drawer over and over again but he couldn¡¯t find it. Anger engulfed his whole being, who would dare enter his study and steal the file he had been hiding from his family all these years.

    ¡°Are you perhaps looking for this?¡±

 Chapter 67_ The bitter truth

    Old Grayson snapped his head to the door to meet mark¡¯s already red and angry set of eyes. Mark took a step into the study room. ¡°Father what is the meaning of this?¡±

    Old Grayson swallowed hard staring at the paper in his son¡¯s hand. ¡°mark that is the¡­¡­.

    ¡°save it dad!¡± mark roared banging his fist on the table. ¡°All these years you lied to us all about mother¡¯s death, you were the one who murdered her in cold blood¡±

    Old Grayson maintained a calm expression as he watched mark rant on. ¡°You knew who murdered Brianna but you chose not to talk instead you closed down the case how could you do this dad?¡±

    ¡°It was for your own good son if your mother didn¡¯t die you wouldn¡¯t have been living in all these riches!¡±

    ¡°Dad!¡± mark stared at his father in disbelief, he staggered back a little knocking over some books on the shelf.

    ¡°And yes I shut down Brianna¡¯s case because I didn¡¯t want the media poking their nose in our family¡¯s affair¡±

    Mark was speechless, old Grayson¡¯s exnation was ridiculous. ¡°How do you sleep at night? aftermiting these crimes you deserve to be punished father¡±

    ¡°You are making the same mistake that Brianna and Becky made, I admit that I had a hand in Brianna¡¯s murder but it was your son who pushed her off the balcony, the only crime Imitted was to bury her alive¡±.

    Tears streamed down marks face, he moved backwards till his back touched the wall. ¡°How can you be so cruel? now I feel what Liam felt for me all these years, that child thinks I¡¯m the one who killed his mother but it was you all along!¡±

    Old Grayson threw his face at the other side, he fell into a deep thought. ¡®If mark is with one piece, then where is the rest?¡¯

    ..

    .

    Angie collected the file from Nichs who was on his way out. ¡°have you lost your mind? you fool! where do you think you are going?¡±

    ¡°Where else? I¡¯m taking this to Liam!¡±

    Angie pt his head ¡°You dummy! do you think Liam would throw a party for you once he finds out that you were the one who pushed his mum off that balcony? use your tiny brain for once!¡± Angie fired at Nichs.

    ¡°So what? he is bound to find out sooner orter, don¡¯t you see? if he finds out about grandfather¡¯s scheme he will surely leave this family for good which makes me the heir to the Grayson¡¯s wealth¡±

    Angie face palmed herself, how else could she exin the situation at hand to this foolish son of her¡¯s. ¡°you are as foolish as your father, should I open your head up and scream some sense into it? Liam will definitely skin you alive¡±

    Nichs collected the file back from his mother ¡°Then we have to burn this¡±

    Nichs suggested taking a lighter from a drawer nearby.

    Angie held his hand ¡°We can¡¯t burn this, we can use this to ckmail your grandfather¡±

    Angie said snatching the file back from her foolish son, she flipped through the pages and furrowed her brows.

    ¡°Prince a part has gone missing!¡± Angie panicked slightly.

    ¡°What? it can¡¯t be! it must be somewhere around here¡±

    ..

    .

    Amelia came down from her car escorted by her guards. She stopped on her tracks when she noticed that they were still walking behind her. ¡°Excuse me! you were asked to protect me not to turn to my other skin at least give me some space¡±

    ¡°Amelia¡± Chelsea called out walking to her, she shuddered slightly at the sight of the guards who were now more than before seeing their all ck outfit which made them look like they were here for some funeral.

    ¡°Hmm how tight is my schedule for today?¡± Amelia asked walking into the building.

    ¡°Really tight, by two you have a meeting with the producers by three you have to be on set which ends by five by six you have to¡­..

    ¡°Come on now Chelsea let me breathe first okay¡±

    They arrived at the producers office, where she met the producers and fellow cast of her current movie.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry to keep you all waiting¡± she apologized taking a seat beside kelvin.

    ¡°What made youete? the meeting started thirty minutes ago¡± kelvin scolded.

    ¡°I had urgent work¡±

    Evelyn rolled her eyes at the drama queen, of course as always everything speaks about her and no one else.

    ¡°So we received a contract from a skincarepany asking for one of our actress to be their model¡±

    Evelyn sat up upon hearing that, she smiled scornfully at Amelia. This time she made sure that she would be the one to grab this fantastic offer.

    ¡°I think you¡¯ll be the one to get the offer¡± kelvin whispered to Amelia.

    ¡°And what makes you say so?¡± Amelia inquired

    ¡°Because you are the most prettiest actress in this industry¡± kelvin added with a wink.

    Evelyn heard what kelvin whispered to Amelia since she was seated not too far from them.

    ¡°so miss Hart we think this offer suites you better¡± the producer announced.

    Evelyn stood up the next minute ¡°What?!¡±

    ¡°Miss simpton is there anything wrong? this meeting is over please everyone go to your dressing rooms we will meet at the location given¡±

    ..

    .

    Liam stared at his mum¡¯s sleeping face in worry ¡°there¡¯s nothing to worry about now Mr Grayson she is out of danger¡±

    Liam kissed her forehead before walking out of the room, immediately he stepped out of the room the servants who passed by him felt the murderous aura emitting from him.

    His mum finally recalled who pushed her off the balcony.

    He dismissed his driver and took the steering himself.

    Nichs ran his hand through his hair in worry, the most important part of the document was missing and if his grandfather finds out that he was the one who broke into his study he would be finished.

    Angie threw down the pillow she was holding in anger. ¡°there¡¯s nothing in here prince where on earth could it have fallen off?¡±

    The door opened with a loud bang, the mother and son snapped their heads to the door and before they could react Liam grabbed Nichs by the cor taking him out.

    ¡°Liam let go of my prince!¡± Angie screamed running after him.

    Liam pulled Nichs all the way to the balcony where his mum was pushed off years ago. ¡°Let me go Liam!¡± Nichs screamed as he felt the cold air brushing through his face.

    Mark came out of his room to witness the horrifying scene in front of him. ¡°Liam let go of your brother he might fall¡±

    ¡°Let him go?! it was from this same balcony my mum was pushed off from by your illegitimate son! now he¡¯ll face the consequences of his actions¡±

    Angie fell on her knees in tears ¡°Liam please spare him don¡¯t take my son away from me¡±Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    Nichs yelled when half of his body dangled on the air. ¡°Liam please don¡¯t do this I admit that I was wrong¡±

    ¡°Stop this madness this minute!¡±

 Chapter 68_ The Graysonâ€™s clash

    Amelia took a nce at her phone when she felt it vibrate in her pink purse. ¡°Hello Tina what¡¯s up?¡± She inquired.

    In the next second her face paled ¡°Miss Hart we are ready to shoot!¡± the director called out.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry I have to leave something urgent came up¡± She exined before dashing off.

    In less than thirty minutes she arrived at Liam¡¯s mansion. She threw the car keys at the guard who was tailing after her. ¡°Quit following me around and park the car properly!¡± sheshed out.

    Amelia took a deep breath before pushing the door to Brianna¡¯s room open.

    As soon as she came into the room she saw Brianna gasping for air. ¡°Mum! what is wrong with her?¡±

    Brianna heard Amelia¡¯s voice and tried reaching her hand to her.

    Amelia went over to her side taking Brianna¡¯s fidgeting hand in her¡¯s. ¡°What is wrong with her Tina? mum open your eyes I¡¯m here now¡±

    ¡°She started behaving this way as soon as she had a discussion with Mr Grayson¡± Tina exined putting an oxygen mask on Brianna¡¯s face.

    Amelia pulled out her phone trying to get in touch with Liam but his line was unreachable.

    ¡°What discussion did she have with Liam?¡± Amelia questioned with a piercing gaze, she saw Tina bow her head to avoid her eyes.

    ¡°Ma¡¯am I have no idea¡±

    Amelia narrowed her eyes at her ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that! I knew you must have eavesdropped on their conversation tell me now or you¡¯ll be fired¡±

    ¡°Madam recalled who pushed her off the balcony so Mr Grayson went over to his ancestral home¡±

    Amelia¡¯s eyes widened by the news ¡°Wh.. at? oh no Liam, he might kill the culprit¡±.

    Amelia turned to Brianna whose condition has stabilized and was now asleep. ¡°Don¡¯t worry mum I won¡¯t let anything happen¡±

    ..

    .

    Old Grayson came forward pulling Nichs out of Liam¡¯s grip. Nichs gasped and crawled to his mother who embraced him.

    ¡°You were trying to kill your own brother because of a mistake that happened years ago? so what if he killed your mum?¡±

    Liam was shocked at the outburst from his grandfather. ¡°Oh wow! you finally showed your true colors¡±Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    ¡°Father how could you say such a thing? you have no idea of how much I wish to do the same thing to the person who took my mum and wife away from me¡±

    Angie turned towards mark ¡°So it¡¯s all about her then! you are trying to side with her son? this monster tried to kill our son few seconds ago¡±

    Mark turned to her sharply holding her neck ¡°don¡¯t you dare say anything! if you had instilled some sense into this empty headed son of yours then he wouldn¡¯t have faced this¡±

    Nichs wriggled his father¡¯s hands from his mum¡¯s neck, Angie held her neck gasping softly. ¡°Dad! how dare you¡­..¡±

    His words were caught shut after he received a p from mark. ¡°Keep quiet! if I had done this long ago maybe, just maybe you wouldn¡¯t have dared do something so outrageous like this!¡±

    Liam didn¡¯t have an interest in whatever was going on right now. ¡°Are you guys done with your drama?¡±

    He pulled Nichs harshly once again raining several punches and kicks to him.

    ¡°Have you seen what you caused? Liam let my prince go!¡± she cried out.

    Her sharp hawk like eyes darted around till itnded on the knight statue in the hallway, she ran to it taking out the sword from the statue¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Let my son go Liam!¡± Angie yelled rushing to him with the sword ready to strike Liam¡¯s back.

    ¡°Angie!¡±

    The sword froze on air as soon as she raised it up to strike Liam, the nking sound of the sword dropping on the ground was heard.

    ¡°How dare you try to harm my husband?!¡± Amelia barked at her picking up the sword, she pointed the sharp edge at Angie¡¯s throat.

    Angie moved back slowly while Amelia moved forward to her with the sword still on her throat till her back touched the balcony¡¯s railing.

    Liam turned to her in disbelief, he met her gaze to receive a wink from her.

    Nichs groaned in pain supporting himself up. ¡°What are you doing Amelia? you¡¯ll hurt her!¡±

    ¡°So what if I hurt her?¡± Amelia demanded turning towards him..

    Angie sighed in relief for a moment there she thought that Amelia was really going to stab her to death, she touched her neck just to be sure.

    Nichs swallowed hard as she stepped forward with the sword.

    ¡°Amelia don¡¯t believe what they are saying I didn¡¯t do anything of that sought¡­¡±

    Nichs face fell to the other side after he was pt by Amelia. ¡°Never for once have I doubted you even though Liam warned me to stay away from you! I feel like the world¡¯s biggest fool for ignoring his words¡±

    Old Grayson¡¯s eyes narrowed at thedy who has been ranting on and on. ¡°Enough already!¡±

    Amelia looked towards him ¡°Enough? whenever it¡¯s about Liam you try to ignore and choose to stop me from speaking, the truth is you don¡¯t like Liam you prefer this illegitimate grandson of yours I don¡¯t me Liam for treating him this way! he deserves much more worse than death itself!¡±

    She turned to mark ¡°And you! you im to love Liam and his mum but all I see is selfishness, you knew all these years that Nichs was the one who pushed Liam¡¯s mum from the balcony but you chose to take the me upon yourself to save this ungrateful son¡±

    Liam stared proudly at his wife, he didn¡¯t have any intention to stop her right now he was thrilled at her perfect timing but he wondered how she came to know about all these.

    Mark bowed his head letting the tears he has been holding all these while flow down. His son only knew half of the truth what will he do once he finds out that old Grayson was the one who buried his mum alive iming that she was dead. and his beloved grandma?

    ¡°I¡¯m really guilty of your usations but I did everything to save my two sons¡±..

    ¡°Now I feel the same hatred towards my dad for what he did to Brianna and my mom!¡± He added gnashing his teeth.

    Everyone felt the gravity of mark¡¯s words for the first time.

    ¡°He killed my mum and buried Brianna alive!¡±

 Chapter 69_ The punishment

    There was an ear piercing silence in the hallway where the Grayson¡¯s were gathered.

    Angie and Nichs stared at each other in shock only them knew about it, so how did mark find out about it?

    Liam was dumbfounded at the level of wickedness of his grandfather. He remembered the old maid who helped him hide his mum when that fire broke out in the chapel years ago.

    Now he finally understood everything, old Grayson purposely sent him out to pray for his sick mother that day to divert his attention.

    Liam took slow steps towards old Grayson ¡°You were the one who started that fire in the chapel to get rid of me, then you buried my mum alive¡±

    Old Grayson raised his hand to stop Liam froming towards him further. ¡°I got rid of them because they were a pain in the neck to me!¡± his voice came out firm which showed no remorse whatsoever.

    ¡°Or perhaps they were heiress of affluent families, you married grandma because she had the right resources for your blooming business and my mum? she was also a heiress of a reputable family, you got your son married to her after you were done with her you got rid of her¡±

    Angie gasped at the revtion of old Grayson¡¯s real motive, ¡®so does this mean he will also get rid of me?¡¯ she thought inwardly.

    ¡°I did everything for our family! we are all respected today because of our wealth and resources¡±

    Amelia held the sword to his throat ¡°You are so lucky that you are way older than me if not I wouldn¡¯t have hesitated to teach you a lesson myself¡±

    ¡°You three havemitted a huge crime and by the way Liam I Know the perfect ce for them¡± she added

    ¡°Whatever punishment that you give them Liam just remember that they are still your family¡± Mark suggested.

    Liam raised a brow at him ¡°And who told you that you are going to be spared?

    He took out his phone and tapped on it for sometime before he faced them again. ¡°Your punishments has been decided, none of you are allowed to step into this house and any other house that belongs to this family because they are all under my name! and for the records your bank ounts has been frozen¡±

    ¡°You all will have work to feed yourself or you can die of starvation for all I care¡± Liam said, his voice cold and icy..

    ..

    Liam held Amelia¡¯s hand taking her into his room in the Grayson¡¯s home. ¡°You crazydy! who asked you to be a superhero? I would have been the one who got hurt but you had to get in the way!¡± Liam scolded taking out the first aid kit.

    He returned to Amelia dressing the injury on her palm which was caused by the sword.

    ¡± should I have watched you get stabbed and slowly die?¡±

    ¡°so what if I died?¡±

    Amelia ced her other palm over his lips to stop him from speaking further.

    ¡°If you die who will I fight with? or argue with? you are now connected to my heart Liam and if you try as much as to say anything that concerns death again I¡¯ll surely break your limbs¡±

    Liam¡¯s gaze softened as heprehended her words, he pulled her into his embrace and nted a kiss on her forehead.

    ¡°I promise that I won¡¯t say such words again¡±

    Their was a little knock on the door before it was pushed open, Chloe stepped into the room.

    Liam massaged his temples, this little girl was like a thorn in his flesh. ¡°Big bro are you really going to throw us out?¡±

    Amelia touched her chest admiring the cutie in front of her.

    ¡°Is anything wrong? you are going with them! go on and pack your tiny luggage¡± Liam icyly stated to Chloe.

    Amelia smacked his arm ¡°Liam she is just a kid, she had nothing to do with all of these¡±

    Liam rose up on his feet walking towards Chloe, he bent down to her height ¡°Now listen little girl, if you choose to stay back I¡¯ll make you sleep in a room filled with rats¡±

    A look of fright crossed past the little girl¡¯s eyes, she looked towards Amelia for help. ¡°Liame on, can¡¯t you see how much she adores you?¡±

    ¡°Amelia listen¡­Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    Amelia faced Chloe ¡°Don¡¯t worry you won¡¯t go with them, you will stay with your big bro and I is that okay by you?¡±

    Chloe nodded her head eagerly.

    ¡°See Liam it¡¯s not really that hard to speak with kids¡±

    Liam sighed he could see troubleing if this little girl stays with them, he really didn¡¯t care if she goes away or not.

    Liam returned to the living room with Amelia and Chloe, by now the four people who were asked to leave the house were already standing with their luggages by their sides.

    ¡°Liam you¡¯ll surely regret ever doing this to us¡± Nichs started gritting his teeth.

    ¡°Show them their way out!¡± Liam ordered the guards who were present in the room.

    ¡°Wait! my daughter¡± Angie said rushing to Chloe who was with Amelia.

    Liam blocked her from teaching Chloe with an arm stretched out ¡°she is not going with you¡±

    ¡°Liam! my sister wille with us and that¡¯s final!¡± Nichs barked angrily.

    Amelia used both her palm to close Chloe¡¯s ears ¡°Get out of here you all! she isn¡¯ting with you I don¡¯t want you to poison her innocent mind against Liam you¡¯ve already failed as a mother to teach your son the right path in life and I don¡¯t want the same for this cutie¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll be the one to take care of her¡±

    Angie¡¯s sharp eyes met Amelia¡¯s hazel eyes which had sparks in them. ¡°And what will you teach her? huh? how to disrespect and talk back to her elders?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll teach her to stay away and respond to people like you!¡± Amelia seconded

    ¡°Chloe don¡¯t you want to go with mummy?¡±

    Liam turned to the guards who were still standing idly. ¡°What are you still waiting for? throw them all out!¡±

    A guard grabbed angie pulling her away but she was giving a fit for it. ¡°I want my daughter! let me go!¡±

    Mark smiled at his son, he didn¡¯t me Liam for separating Chloe from them, what he did was right, he knew that he had hurt Liam a lot by keeping the truth away from him, all he hoped for was for Liam to find it in his heart to forgive him.

    Chloe sobbed gently as she watched her mother and brother being dragged out like criminals..

    ..

    Liam entered his car dismissing the driver, his brow furrowed when Amelia entered the backseat with Chloe.

    ¡°What a day!¡± Amelia eximed.

    Liam stared at the girl from the rearview mirror and was tempted to crash the car.

    ¡°Come on Liam, I had a very tight schedule today but I left everything to be here hurry up I have a shoot today¡±.

    ¡°will you take her with you?¡±

    ¡°Not at all, she will go with you instead I¡¯ll be very concentrated on the movie shoot¡±.

    ¡°sure! why not?¡± Liam¡¯s lips curved into an evil grin.

 Chapter 70_ Janeâ€™s condition

    In an empty room with iron bars guarding the entrance and exit. Ady was humming a song while scribbling on the ground.

    An attendant made a little nk noise with a metal rod to gain her attention.

    ¡°Hey! you have a visitor¡± He announced and left as soon as he was done.

    She raised her head to know who came for her, she already had a faint guess of who it might be.

    She stood up walking slowly which caused the chain holding her ankles make noises as she moved.

    ¡°I must confess you really look pathetic in this state!¡±

    Nichs scorned peeping into where she was being held.

    Jane¡¯s eyes turned fierce as she gripped the iron bars tightly. ¡°Has Liam finally put you to your ce? is that why you suddenly remembered me?¡±

    Nichs face darkened in anger ¡°Maybe your guess is right! but I also came here to know how you are currently enjoying your new life¡±

    Jane stared ahead, her eyes were emotionless and empty.

    ¡°I¡¯m the one in a mental asylum but you are out of your mind¡±.

    ¡°I will get you out of here for only a day but you¡¯ll have to do something for me in return to make it happen¡±

    Jane snapped her head to him ¡°I¡¯ve epted my new life! don¡¯t try to implicate me further you and your mum have managed to cover your sins with my head but your days are numbered!¡±

    Nichs banged his hand on the iron bars which jerked Jane from whatever trance she was.

    ¡°It seems you¡¯ve really lost your mind! Amelia and Liam are living a good life in the city and you? they¡¯ve totally forgotten about your existence like a passing cloud! the only way to get out of these mess is to take my help¡±

    Jane raised her arm, staring at the cuts Liam gave her by spelling out Amelia¡¯s name on her skin with a de.

    Her countenance changed to a face of fury, this mark was the only thing that kept her hatred for Liam and Amelia going forward and stronger.

    ¡°I¡¯ll do whatever you want but you have to get me out of here!¡±

    She yelled banging the iron bars, Nichs moved back because of her violent and abnormal actions.

    ¡°Get me out!!!¡±

    Four attendants appeared unlocking her room, one of them flogged her severally with a cane before injecting her.

    Nichs was thrilled and shocked to the core, he held the metal bars as he watched Jane slowly fell unconscious.

    His lips drew a thin ¡°Oh brother you have no idea of what ising your way¡±

    ..

    .

    Angie stared at the tiny apartment in disgust, she pinched her nose looking around the eery room. ¡°This ce Is so filthy! mark is this the best ce you could find?¡±

    Mark turned a deaf ear to her tantrums, he really wasn¡¯t in the mood to argue with her.

    ¡°I¡¯m asking you a question! I can¡¯t live in this condition do something about it¡±

    ¡°If you aren¡¯tfortable with this arrangement then you are free to leave after all it¡¯s you and your son who created this mess¡±

    Angie¡¯s nostrils red up in anger ¡°My son? don¡¯t try to me my prince for your other son¡¯s misdeeds! you never address Nichs as your son it¡¯s all about Liam and his sad mother¡±

    ¡°Will you both keep quiet?! as you can see both the Grayson¡¯s grandsons are responsible for all these, who would have thought that a family as powerful as ours could be facing this¡±

    ¡°You were the mastermind don¡¯t try to act innocent father infact I¡¯m done talking with you both!¡±

    Mark angrily left the apartment and at the same time Nichs stepped in.

    ¡°What is wrong with him?¡± Nichs asked

    ¡°Forget him nick, by the way where did you go?¡±

    ¡°I went out to meet a friend¡±

    ..

    Allison threw down everything in her room in anger ¡°My brother doesn¡¯t love me enough! he doesn¡¯t care about my happiness¡±

    Fred stared into space, his sister has been destroying thingstely because Liam. He tried talking to her severally but her mind was already made up.

    ¡°Ally I already promised you that I¡¯ll get Liam for you why don¡¯t you trust me on that?¡±

    Allison stopped destroying things and turned to him ¡°Trust you? thatdy is still married to him you promised me that they will be divorced before the end of the week¡±

    Fred winced in pain as he tried to get up, he sustained a injury on his chest when he fought with Karl.

    ¡°I got hurt trying to get what you want doesn¡¯t that bug you?¡±

    Allison wiped her tears ¡°I didn¡¯t ask you to go after that actress, thatdy is so full of herself she is maddy! even Liam doesn¡¯t have a chance against her¡±

    Fred stared at her in awe ¡°So you knew how impossible it is to get rid of her and you told me nothing about it¡±This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

    ¡°You im to be a mafia boss and ady is too difficult for you to handle? isn¡¯t that a shameful thing?¡±

    ¡°Allison! that is no way to talk to your older brother¡± Mrs Williams scolded pulling Allison¡¯s arm slightly.

    ¡°Mum let it go! I¡¯m at fault, I¡¯m the one to be med I couldn¡¯t make my own little sister happy¡±

    Mrs Williams turned to her daughter ¡°Are you happy now? I¡¯ve told you times without number to forget about Liam, and you Fred will you really try to break a married couple¡¯s rtionship to appease your greedy sister?¡±

    ¡°Mum! this is the reason why I don¡¯t like talking to you, since you both don¡¯t love me anymore I¡¯ll ask dad for help¡±

    Mrs Williams sighed in frustration her daughter was just too much of a character.

    ¡°Don¡¯t speak to me in that tone youngdy¡± mrs Williams scolded pulling Allison¡¯s ears slightly.

    ¡°Mum what are you doing? you¡¯ll hurt her¡± Fred said worriedly.

    ¡°So? don¡¯t you see that are demands are never ending? she is really spoilt, what if she asks you next time to kill someone for her sake?¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll do it!¡± Fred remarked only to receive a sharp p from his mum.

    ¡°The both of you are crazy! fine do whatever you want! but just have one thing in your mind Liam Grayson doesn¡¯t spare his enemies¡± Mrs Williams said and walked away in anger.

    Fred groaned turning the center table in anger, ¡°I¡¯ll make sure my sister gets whatever she wants no one can stop that from happening!¡±

 Chapter 71_ He doesnâ€™t like me

    Liam entered his office taking off his coat, he wondered how on earth he was supposed to bear this little girl¡¯s presence.

    Chloe entered his office taking a seat on the white fluffy sofa. ¡°You know big bro I love this sofa can you get it in pink design for me?¡±

    Liam stared at her for a brief moment, he couldn¡¯t help but wonder why girls are obsessed with the colour pink.

    ¡°You are alone with me now so you better keep that little hole of yours shut!¡± he scolded.

    ¡°Are you upset with me? I promise I won¡¯t speak¡± she replied pouting her lips.

    Liam returned back to work while she dozed off..

    ..

    Amelia returned home and was greeted byplete silence, she pulled off her gold heels whimpering slightly.

    ¡°Aww I can¡¯t feel my ankles anymore¡± she whined massaging her ankles for a while.

    She went up to Brianna¡¯s room to find her reading a magazine.

    ¡°Hello mum¡± she greeted happily joining Brianna on the bed.

    Brianna closed the magazine and faced Amelia in worry. ¡°Dear did Liam do anything stupid today? he didn¡¯t kill anyone right?¡±

    Amelia held both her hand to assure her ¡°When I¡¯m with Liam there¡¯s nothing to worry about, I managed the whole situation and he gave them a good punishment that they truly deserve, he stripped them of their identify¡± Amelia happily narrated the incident.

    ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°Liam chased everyone of them out of the house, you missed the shock expression on that arrogant old Grayson¡¯s face hmp!¡±

    Brianna sighed in relief at least he didn¡¯t kill anyone, she really wanted to tell everyone about old Grayson¡¯s ways but she was threatened at that time.

    ¡°My son has gone through enough because of me¡±

    Amelia touched Brianna¡¯s face ¡°Mum don¡¯t feel bad I¡¯m here now and you can have my word that I won¡¯t let him out of my grip that easily¡± She jested whileughing out.

    ¡°fine then I have a surprise for you two but I¡¯ll tell you what it is tomorrow morning¡±

    They heard the screeching sound of car driving into thepound.

    ¡°He is back! go and keep himpany¡± Brianna said with a wink¡­

    Amelia returned to her room but Liam was nowhere in sight, she heard the sounds of water rushing in the bathroom, soon after he came out with a hand towel wiping his hands.

    ¡°Where is little Chloe?¡± Amelia asked.

    Liam narrowed his eyes at her ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡±

    ¡°Are you kidding me?¡±

    Amelia walked to him and pulled his tie ¡°I¡¯m talking about your step sister¡±

    ¡°I handed her to a maid don¡¯t worry she is in safe hands¡± Liam said with his fingers crossed.

    ¡°I¡¯m having an early morning shoot Liam do set the rm before going to bed¡±

    Liam removed his cufflinks cing it on the vanity table. ¡°An early morning shoot?¡±

    ¡°Yup! I have to be there before eight in the morning I don¡¯t wanna miss the sunrise¡±

    Liam was confused and his whole expression said it all. ¡°Enlighten me more about your shoot¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s all about a kissing scene¡± she said with a shrug.

    Liam stared at her face from the mirror which showed no hesitation.

    ¡°Come again?¡±

    ¡°you heard me as far as you don¡¯t have any problem with it¡±

    Liam caught her arm pulling her to stand in front of him ¡°A kissing scene? really? so you would just go ahead and kiss a random man!¡±

    A small sigh escaped Amelia¡¯s lips as she stared at Liam in shock.

    ¡°Kelvin isn¡¯t a random man okay?¡±

    Liam was taken aback of all other male actors why him?

    ¡°well that makes everything worse! I don¡¯t appreciate it when other men ogle at you or try to touch you in anyway¡±

    Amelia lifted a brow at his attitude ¡°Geez it¡¯s just a kiss why is it such a big deal for you?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m your husband remember? I have to give my consent¡± Liam defended.

    ¡°Well too bad for you I don¡¯t need your approval for anything I do things ording to my own terms and rules¡±

    Amelia felt her back touched the wall in mere seconds, Liam lifted her face with his finger staring deep into her eyes.

    Her heart skipped beats as Liam¡¯s face came closer to hers slowly.

    Liam¡¯s lips mmed against her¡¯s she felt a swarm of butterflies dance around in her tummy, Her hands went around his neck to support herself and deepen the kiss.

    Their tongues intertwined as they both fought for dominance, Liam lifted Amelia who quickly wrapped her legs around his waist.

    Liam pulled back staring at her face for some seconds ¡°Amelia be honest with me, are you willing to stay with me or are you just fulfilling your role as a wife?¡± he whispered into her ears sending shivers down her spine.

    Amelia opened and closed her mouth unable to utter a single word, luckily for her someone knocked on the door.

    Liam dropped her carefully before going to the door, he already had a hunch on who it could be but he prayed silently against it.

    He opened the door to reveal a maid and his step sister, of course! who else would it be?

    ¡°Master I really tried to tuck her in to sleep but she kept on asking for young miss¡±.

    Chloe rubbed her eyes slightly holding a stuffed pink teddy bear.

    Amelia recognized the bear, she recalled buying that when she did a shopping spree.

    ¡°There¡¯s no problem she can pass the night here¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Liam objected to it immediately.

    Chloe¡¯s eyes teared up, she quickly ran to Amelia who lifted her up.

    ¡°Hush, I¡¯ll put you to sleep okay?¡±

    Liam dismissed his maid and closed the door shut, his eyes went to the little girl who just ruined the moment.

    ¡°Did you have dinner?¡± Amelia asked to receive a nod.

    Liam angrily walked into the closet, Chloe¡¯s sight alone annoys him.

    Amelia helped Chloey on the huge bed before joining her. ¡°What is going on in your little mind¡±

    Amelia said tapping Chloe¡¯s little nose.

    ¡°He doesn¡¯t like me but I did nothing wrong¡± she pouted pulling her bear¡¯s ears.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure he does¡±..

    .

    Liam returned back to the room after a while to find most of the space taken.

    Amelia ced her finger on her lips to stop Liam from talking, it took quite sometime to make her fall asleep.

    Liam shook his head in pity for Amelia who was falling for Chloe¡¯s cute trap, this was one of the main reasons he disliked children of her age they are little devil¡¯s in cute faces.

    He pushed her small frame towards Amelia¡¯s part of the bed. ¡°If she crosses that boundary I¡¯ll break her tiny bones¡± Liam threatened.

    ¡°You are a heartless brother, just assume she was your child would you still treat her this way?¡±This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    ¡°You suddenly want a child? well you won¡¯t be able to have your own child with her staying on our bed!¡±

    Amelia¡¯s face flushed red as she decipher the meaning behind his words.

 Chapter 72_ Jealous husband 1

    Liam woke up to an empty bed in the morning, he looked around therge room to find Amelia with a script pacing around the room.

    He pulled the duvet off his body, anger from nowhere crept into his body as he recalled that she had a shoot today.

    Amelia closed her eyes mumbling some words while moving around.

    ¡°Big sis which do you prefer the blue one or the pink one?¡± Chloe appeared with two bow.

    Amelia hissed dropping her script ¡°I thought I asked you to let the maid dress you up for school¡±

    Chloe pouted her lips blinking her big ck eyes ¡°But I want your help¡±

    Amelia lifted her up to stand on the chair facing the vanity table. ¡°Hmm I prefer the pink one, you know the color pink suites cute girls like you¡± Amelia remarked pulling her cheeks slightly.

    Liam frowned in annoyance, once upon a time she was the first one to wake him up from sleep with her constant weird behaviors.

    Amelia picked her phone that was ringing on the table. ¡°Good morning director don¡¯t worry I¡¯ll be there soon give me half an hour to get ready¡±

    Liam raised a brow, it seems she wasn¡¯t even noticing his existence. He sighed as he left for the bathroom.

    ¡°Chloe please meet the maids to help you get dressed I¡¯m runningte¡±

    Amelia said picking out her outfit from the closet, she took out a shiny ck skimpy gown. ¡°This would do¡±.

    She knocked slightly on the bathroom¡¯s doors ¡°Liam please hurry up I¡¯ll bete for my shoot¡±

    Liam looked up from the newspaper while sitting at the bathtub¡¯s edge.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be done in a minute¡± He replied back flipping through the papers.

    Amelia paced around the room, Liam wasn¡¯t done yet it¡¯s been so long already.

    She sighed picking up her clothes and left the room, of all days why today to spend so long in the bathroom.

    Amelia knocked softly on Brianna¡¯s door before pushing it open. ¡°Good morning mum¡± Amelia greeted opening the thick yellow curtains in the room.

    Brianna raised her hand to cover the rays of sunlight that was reflecting into her eyes.

    ¡°Sorry for interrupting your sleep I just need to use your bathroom since Liam wants to spend all eternity in ours¡±

    Brianna waved her off yawning, Amelia thanked her once more before entering the bathroom..

    .This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

    Liam came out of the bathroom after a while feeling satisfied that she will bete for her shoot, however to his surprise she was sitting in front of the mirror all dressed up applying makeup to her face.

    ¡°You are ready? but how is that even possible?¡±

    ¡°Oh I used mum¡¯s bathroom since you were taking much time¡± She got up picking her purse

    ¡°I¡¯mte already bye¡±

    Liam¡¯s heart skipped a beat staring at her dress. ¡°are you really wearing that? it¡¯s so skimpy and your¡­ ummm¡­.

    He cleared his throat ¡°Is visible¡± He added swallowing hard.

    Amelia grabbed a blue jean jacket from the bed ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m going with this¡± She waved it in front of him.

    She pulled up her dress a bit to cover the exposing part of her breasts.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you wear something more appropriate?¡±

    ¡°Because there¡¯s no time¡±

    She argued and left the room hurriedly.

    ¡°Is she really that excited to kiss that weird guy on set?¡± he asked in unbelief..

    ..

    Amelia arrived at the location for the shoot which was an empty street. As soon as she sat down on a chair meant for her the makeup crew surrounded her retouching and applying more makeup to her face.

    ¡°Miss Hart you arrived sote quickly take your position we have to start filming now you didn¡¯t finish your scene yesterday so today you have to start from where you stopped¡± The director announced.

    Amelia changed her ck heels into the white sneakers she was supposed to wear in the movie. ¡°I¡¯m ready¡± she took a deep breath in and released it after a while.

    Kelvin waved at her which she returned back by waving also. Her heart was mming against her ribcage to the fact that she will have to kiss a man other than her husband.

    ¡°He¡¯s okay with it, there¡¯s no need to be worried about¡± She assured herself.

    The director signalled the cinematographer and cameramen to get ready, they raised a thumb in reply to him.

    ¡°Rolling¡­ sound and action!¡±

    Lisa walked down the street in anger, she had a fight with Lawrence few minutes back and he was acting too big to apologize for his wrongdoings.

    A ck car stopped by her side, when she saw who it was she fastened her pace.

    Lawrence came down from the car chasing after her, ¡°Lisa please hear me out what you saw was wrong she was a college friend of mine years back¡±

    Lisa ced both of her hands against her ears walking faster. ¡°Lawrence please go away I don¡¯t want to see you now¡±

    The director bowed to the man standing in front of him, he was quite surprised on why he was here. ¡°Mr Grayson what brings you here?¡±

    Liam ignored the director¡¯s nosy question as he stared ahead looking at his wife and kelvin who were acting.

    Liam took a seat which the director offered and sat with one leg over the other.

    ¡°Mr Grayson do you need anything to eat or drink?¡±

    Liam waved his hand in objection right now he wasn¡¯t in the mood to eat or drink.

    Lawrence suddenly pulled Lisa back, her chest brushed slightly with his which angered a certain someone.

    He ced a finger under her jaw raising her face towards him maintaining eye contact with her. ¡°Don¡¯t you see how much I love you? do you really think I¡¯d leave you for your cousin sister?¡±

    Lisa blinked her eyes that were starting to be teary. ¡°Then why were you acting overly close with her? you are doing this on purpose to hurt me right?¡±

    ¡°Lisa dear why are you getting upset?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for doubting you, I love you more¡±

    Lawrence smiled at her inching his face towards her slowly when¡­..

    ¡°Cut!¡± ¡°Cut!¡± ¡°Cut!¡±

    The whole crew turned towards the person who would dare ruin this beautiful moment that they¡¯ve been waiting for.

    Amelia freezed, that voice sounded familiar to her.

 Chapter 73_ Jealous husband 2

    Everyone had a creased brow the scene was going great already and yet it was ruined. Evelyn smiled in content she almost kissed her manager out of joy.

    The director swallowed hard staring at Liam ¡°Mr Grayson is anything the matter?¡±Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    Amelia¡¯s mouth dropped as she spotted Liam sitting among the crew members and director.

    ¡°The male lead is a bit sluggish and he didn¡¯t do his part to my satisfaction¡±

    Kelvin gulped down a huge spit ball he of course knew exactly why Liam was here after all his beloved wife was to kiss him in this scene. He blew air on his forehead everywhere suddenly seemed too hot for him.

    Amelia met his gaze and tried tomunicate with him through gestures but his face was indifferent towards her.

    ¡°What is going on in his head now?¡± She mumbled.

    The directorughed awkwardly ¡°Mr Grayson don¡¯t worry he¡¯ll get it right this time¡±

    The director turned towards kelvin and Amelia ¡°You¡¯ll start from the kissing part since the other acts were brilliant¡±

    Kelvin tried as much as possible to avoid Liam¡¯s powerful gaze that was sending jolts of current to his whole body.

    ¡°And action!¡±

    Kelvin lowered his face towards Amelia before he could even reach halfway¡­..

    ¡°Cut!¡±

    Their was a small groaning from the crew as they turned towards Liam they wanted to witness this badly.

    The director itched his bald head, he turned to Liam who was beside him. ¡°Mr Grayson do you have a problem with it this time?¡±

    ¡°Who signed that guy? hecks acting skills¡± Liamined looking around except from Amelia¡¯s gaze, he could tell that she was getting upset.

    ¡°You were the one who offered him a contract after you bought star entertainment from it¡¯s original owners¡±.

    Liam immediately regretted his decision of signing a contract with kelvin. He wasn¡¯t really present on the day of signing because he had no interest in the entertainment industry but after that scandal that threatened to ruin Amelia¡¯s career he bought star entertainment off it¡¯s original owners.

    ¡°Tell him to do better¡± Liam ordered the director who quickly passed the message to Kelvin.

    ¡°And action!¡±

    Kelvin touched Amelia¡¯s cheek slightly before he could even lean forward..

    ¡°Cut!¡±

    Everyone were already getting frustrated, they have always wanted to see the magic and fireworks between these two.

    Amelia angrily walked away from the set heading towards Liam.

    ¡°You keep interfering in between the scenes do you have a problem? we¡¯ve been stuck repeating the same scene¡± She fired.

    There was a loud gasp followed by murmurs, the director quickly intervened. ¡°Mr Grayson I apologize to you on behalf of miss Hart it¡¯s true that we¡¯ve been repeating a scene for a while now and it¡¯s getting a bit ummmm¡­. annoying¡±

    Liam scoffed at them ¡°So how is it my fault that you have a bad actor as a male lead?¡±

    Amelia squinted her eyes at him ¡°Really? then why don¡¯t you show us how to act really well Mr perfect!¡±

    Liam raised a brow, was that a new nickname?

    To everyone¡¯s atonishment, he didn¡¯t take a second to think about. He rose to his feet. ¡°Why not? let me show you how it¡¯s done¡±

    They stared at each other in disbelief even the director was dumbstruck he knew something was off with this two but he couldn¡¯t put a finger to it.

    Amelia wasn¡¯t expecting the reply she got, Liam snapped a finger in front of her to bring her back to her right mind.

    He held her hand taking her to the set and asked kelvin to stand back.

    Amelia squinted her eyes at him suspiciously ¡°What are you doing here Liam? answer me honestly¡±

    The director called their attention ¡°And action!¡±

    Liam¡¯s hand went to the back of her neck inching his face close to hers.

    The rest thought he was simply showing an example but they were surprised when their lips met.

    ¡°we are using this scene¡± the director announced to the camera man.

    ¡°But sir that isn¡¯t kelvin¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a back view don¡¯t worry about it, no one will be able to see his face¡±

    Amelia bit Liam¡¯s lips slightly, it was already way past the time for this scene. ¡°That¡¯s enough now Liam¡± Amelia scolded.

    Liam smirked at her before leaving the set, kelvin returned back to Amelia with a teasing smile on his lips. ¡°You have a really jealous husband¡± he remarked to see her blush.

    It suddenly dawned on her, could this be the reason that he was behaving strangely since today?

    ¡°Don¡¯t turn red! he interrupted the scenes because he doesn¡¯t want any other person to kiss his precious wife¡±.

    Amelia turned to the seat where he was sitting a while ago but it was now empty and he was nowhere to be found.

    ¡°That¡¯s the end of the shoot for today¡± The director announced and left.

    Amelia sighed in relief ¡°Thank goodness! my head was already starting to hurt¡±

    Kelvin excused himself to take a call and at the same time Evelyn made her way to Amelia. ¡°Oh dear I¡¯m sure you must be dreaming about that kiss over and over again don¡¯t think further it was just a once in a lifetime opportunity¡±

    Amelia rolled her eyes ¡°And what is your point exactly?¡±

    Evelyn sneered at her ¡°It should have been me instead of you on this set!¡±

    ¡°Maybe luck isn¡¯t on your side then, try using a different body spray maybe that might help¡± Amelia scorned and walked away.

    Evelyn sniffed her clothes to confirm if she had an odour or something..

    ..

    Amelia returned home after her shoot, her head was really banging, she spotted an unfamiliar car in the surrounding when her car drove in.

    ¡°Who could that be?¡±

    She massaged her head slightly as she came down from the car heading into the building.

    Her brows furrowed when she saw who the intruder was, it seems thisdy never learns her lesson after being humiliated so many times.

    ¡°Hello actress¡±

    Allison waved at Amelia with a wide grin on her lips.

    Amelia sighed the least thing she wanted to do now was argue with this empty headeddy, she took notice of the luggages next to Allison and raised her head in surprise.

    Allison caught the look of surprise that crossed Amelia¡¯s face. ¡°Oh this nearly missed my mind, my wedding with Liam has been finalized today so these are a few of my belongings I¡¯ll be staying here with Liam from now on¡±

 Chapter 74_ Her anger

    Amelia rolled her eyes walking towards the couch opposite Allison.

    ¡°How much lower can you stoop more than this? why don¡¯t you just kill this obsession of yours about my husband¡±

    Allison let out a hystericalughter cing her palm over her mouth. ¡°You got me dear, this luggage isn¡¯t mine¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s yours!¡± She added mockingly.

    Amelia¡¯s gaze darted back to the luggage, now she recognized it on a closer look.

    ¡°Who gave you the permission to go into my bedroom?¡±

    Allison pushed the luggage which rolled andnded at Amelia¡¯s feet.

    ¡°It¡¯s your¡¯s for a limited time, I¡¯ll advise you take your things and leave before it¡¯s toote to do so¡±

    ¡°My marriage with Liam has been fixed already so save yourself the stress and leave while you can to avoid being humiliated¡± she added mockingly.

    Amelia rose to her feet pulling Allison to stand on her feet also. She dragged Allison¡¯s long ck hair backwards which left her screaming and wincing in pain.

    ¡°Up until now I¡¯ve been letting you off the hook you have no idea of how cruel I can be, don¡¯t try to act smart with me, leave here now or I¡¯ll kick you out myself¡±

    Amelia pushed her back to sit on the sofa harshly, these days she and her brother has been getting on her nervestely.

    ¡°Believe it or not you¡¯ll leave sooner orter¡±

    Amelia ignored her tantrums and went to the kitchen for a drink, the maid bowed slightly to her which she nodded to.

    ¡°Make lunch quickly I¡¯m starving¡± Amelia said rubbing her tummy slightly, she didn¡¯t have breakfast before leaving this morning.

    ¡°Miss she is behind you!¡± the maid screamed out alerting Amelia who was gulping down a bottle of water.

    In the nick of time Amelia moved away before the knife could strike her, instead the knife met the refrigerator instead.

    Amelia gasped in surprise staring at Allison¡¯s blood shot eyes that clearly showed how dissatisfied she was about her missed target.

    ¡°You¡¯ve crossed all the limits today Allison!¡± Amelia barked grabbing one of Allison¡¯s hand she turned to the boiling oil and pressed her whole palm into it.

    The kitchen was filled with Allison¡¯s screams and curses.

    ¡°This will teach you never to mess with me ever again¡±

    ¡°Security!¡± Amelia called out and before the blink of an eye they appeared before her.

    ¡°Throw her out and see to it that she doesn¡¯t step foot into this building or it¡¯s surrounding also inform those at the gate!¡± She ordered..

    ..

    Angie pinched her nose as she cleaned the apartment, she threw down the broom in anger ¡°I give up!¡±

    Mark and Nichs turned towards her with lifted brows. ¡°Mum what is the wrong?¡±

    ¡°What do you mean by that? don¡¯t you see our current condition? it¡¯s terrible! I have never imagined living this way and it¡¯s all thanks to Liam and his rude wife¡±

    Nichs rolled his eyes at her tantrums ¡°We don¡¯t like it either, but there¡¯s no other choice than to ept the harsh reality of our lives¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve never cleaned anything until now in my whole life and today I¡¯m forced to work like a servant¡±

    ¡°Angie everyone was equally at fault in all of these who are you trying to pin the me on? there¡¯s no other choice than to ept your new life now¡± Mark remarked.

    ¡°Keep quiet! this is all your fault and that son of yours, of course I do have a choice my father is the wealthiest gold smith in the city I¡¯ll just go back to my family then you all can die like paupers I don¡¯t care!¡±

    Old Observed them from a distance in the room, he couldn¡¯t help but frown at Angie¡¯s foolishness. ¡°Have you forgotten that you were disowned by your family after you chose to get married to your best friend¡¯s husband?¡±

    Angie turned towards him in anger ¡°They are my family are they not? I only have to cry and act pitiful before they ept me back¡±

    ¡°Mum I can¡¯t believe how selfish you are, we all are in this together don¡¯t try to abandone us, I can¡¯t even face my peers they constantly ask me lots of questions about my guards and cars and you were¡­..This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

    He hissed in anger turning over the checkers game he and mark were ying.

    ¡°At least my princess was spared from these hardship¡± Mark mumbled..

    ..

    The door to Liam¡¯s office opened, he really didn¡¯t need to raise his head up to know who just came in.

    ¡°Hello Liam¡± she greeted him excitedly dropping the lunch bag she brought with her.

    Liam noticed the excitement in her voice and he could tell that something wasing for him.

    ¡°What crime have youmitted?¡± Liam asked as he stared at hisptop.

    She closed down theptop ¡°I brought lunch for you¡±

    She announced pulling him up from his sitting position.

    ¡°Should I feel scared?¡± Liam asked stretching his legs a little.

    ¡°Not at all, sit down and have this meal I brought for you specifically¡±

    And that was the cue Liam needed to raise his guards up.

    He took a seat on the white fluffy sofa present in the office.

    Amelia took her time you dish out the varieties of sandwiches she packed for him.

    ¡°I¡¯ll have the turkey wrap¡± Liam said and took the wrap from the table.

    ¡°Sure enjoy!¡±

    Liam stared at her and then turkey wrap for some time.

    ¡°Do you really think I¡¯ll poison you? that thought died long ago¡±

    Liam stared at her in unbelief, did that really happen?

    He took a bite from the wrap and moaned softly ¡°It¡¯s great!¡± Hemented taking another bite.

    He furrowed his brow feeling the rising burning sensation on his tongue, it felt like a thousand fire ants were biting the life out of him.

    He dropped down the turkey wrap taking a bottle of water from the table.

    ¡°It¡¯s good to see that you love it, I spent so much time making these meals specifically for you¡±

    Liam nodded smiling awkwardly, how was he supposed to tell her that this was the most hottest food he has ever eaten.

    ¡°Go on eat more or else I¡¯ll feel really bad¡± She pouted her lips blinking at him cutely.

    Liam hesitated before picking the wrap and continued eating it. He chewed softly while forcing a smile at her.

    Liam suddenly rose up cing the remaining wrap on the table when he couldn¡¯t bear it anymore.

    ¡°Is anything wrong Liam? or should I get more?¡±

    ¡°More? why did you make it so hot? I can barely feel my tongue!¡± Liam cried out gulping down more water.

    Amelia stood up and pushed him back to sit on the sofa.

    ¡°You want to get married to Allison right? and do you really think I¡¯ll let you go that easily? I showed your bride to be a lesson that she wouldn¡¯t forget that easily¡±.

    She grabbed his cor shaking him slightly ¡°And this is your little punishment as well, you were so disturbed about my kissing scene today that you chose to ruin it over and over again i¡­.

    Liam sealed her lips with his to stop her from speaking.

 Chapter 75_ I want to say something 1

    Amelia was caught off guard by his sudden attack, she pulled away from him.

    ¡°Don¡¯t let Allison get into your head, I¡¯ve known her for years now and I can tell you that she knows how to provoke people¡±

    Amelia folded her arm and threw her face to the other side. ¡°And I definitely put her in her right ce today¡±

    ¡°You are acting like a jealous wife¡± Liam scorned.

    ¡°Of course I¡¯m jealous!¡± She blurted out and before she could correct it she met Liam¡¯s teasing smile and wriggling eyebrows.

    Liam stood in front of her and pushed the loose strand of hair behind her ears.

    ¡°You have every reason to be upset with me, just trust me this once and don¡¯t try to create trouble for yourself¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s only if she doesn¡¯t provoke me¡± Amelia mumbled..

    ..

    Cecile sighed for the umpteenth time in a row, her daughter¡¯s line wasn¡¯t reachable and she was getting roasted under the scorching heat.

    She hailed down a cab and was about to get in when ady crashed into her.

    ¡°Are you blind or something?¡± Angie barked furiously staring down at her scattered groceries on the dirty road.

    Cecile took a closer look at her ¡°Are you not thedy of the Grayson¡¯s?¡± Cecile asked still checking her out to confirm.

    Angie raised her head to look at thedy who dared question her. ¡°Oh it¡¯s you! I see you are the mother of that actress¡±

    Cecile looked around but she couldn¡¯t spot a car or any form of security near her and her appearance looked less pleasing to the eyes.

    ¡°Why are you in this state? I thought you move around with those expensive cars¡± Cecile asked which Angie mistook as sarcasm.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure you have known about it by now, your daughter is responsible for this! she is the reason that a great family like ours is leaving with peasantmoners¡±

    Cecile frowned in confusion, whenever she leaves for a while and return everything is bound to change. But this change was the most shocking.

    ¡°even in this state you are still as arrogant as ever, maybe you should change your ways and try to be humble¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t try to insult me miss I¡¯m warning you¡± Angie said furiously.

    Cecile took a nce at the damaged groceries, even though it wasn¡¯t her fault she still felt a little bit guilty. She opened her purse and took out some dor bills and ced it on Angie¡¯s palm.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure this is more than enough to pay for your groceries¡± She said before entering the cab.

    Angie stared at the notes on her palm mumbling under her breathe before she started picking up the groceries from the floor ignoring the onlookers gazes..

    ..

    There was a knock on the door which startled Louisa from where she was sitting, she was watching a movie with a bowl of chips by her side.

    She reluctantly got up from herfortable position. She brushed her ck hair with her fingers before going to the door.

    She opened the door to see Dn¡¯s smiling face, her brows creased in both confusion and surprise. ¡°It¡¯s you? what brings you here?¡±

    He walked past her stepping into the apartment, Louisa closed the door and returned back to the small living room where she found him munching on her chips.

    ¡°Today is my off day that¡¯s why I didn¡¯te to work if that¡¯s why you are here¡±

    She quickly exined herself, whenever he was around she feels weird.

    ¡°Take your seat I didn¡¯t ask for any exnation, we need to talk¡±

    Louisa swallowed hard, she picked the remote control reducing the volume of the tv.

    ¡°You could have just called me and set up a ce for us to meet¡±

    ¡°Are you expecting someone? you are acting like I¡¯m disturbing your privacy¡±

    Louisa shook her head ¡°No that¡¯s not what I mean don¡¯t mind my bad manners I¡¯m all ears¡±

    Dn sat up adjusting himself on the sofa, it was obvious from his actions that he wasn¡¯tfortable.

    ¡°I want to talk to you concerning Liam and your friend¡±

    ..

    A middle aged man walked towards the young man seated in his office. He ced a hand on his shoulder squeezing it softly.

    ¡°Karl, I¡¯m sorry for whatever I did to you and your mum all those years ago¡±

    Karl pulled off Anthony¡¯s hand from his shoulder ¡°What¡¯s the point Mr Hart? I hope you are not trying to toy with my emotions?¡±

    Anthony hissed beneath his breathe ¡°I¡¯m sorry son please forgive me, Amelia already left me don¡¯t go away too¡±

    Karl¡¯s indifferent face stared ahead in anger, he didn¡¯t get the point of what Anthony was trying to do, the deed was already done.

    ¡°You were the one who couldn¡¯t control your lower part who knows how many more children you have out there now I know why Amelia and her mum left you¡±

    Anthony took out a handkerchief from his inner suit pocket wiping his teary eyes. ¡°If my own son can say this about me then what will the world say?¡±

    Karl stood up walking towards the door before he halted. ¡°By the way Mr Hart, just so you know, your daughter still cherish you to this day¡± He added and left the office.

    Anthony took out his phone as soon as Karl left ¡°Follow him and find out about Amelia¡¯s recent location¡±

    ..

    Amelia ced her phone on a table after receiving a video call from Louisa. ¡°Hello dear, look how chubby you are getting¡± Louisa joked.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    Amelia brushed Chloe¡¯s hair gently, she blushed slightly at Louisa¡¯sment. ¡°And you look refreshing is your boyfriend around you?¡± Amelia joked wiggling her brows.

    Louisa took notice of the little girl and couldn¡¯t resist to ask. ¡°Whose child is that?¡±

    Amelia pulled Chloe¡¯s cheeks a little bit ¡°This cutie is Liam¡¯s step sister¡±

    Louisa waved at Chloe who waved back with a cute smile.

    ¡°I want to speak to you concerning Liam¡± Louisa said to see the look of worry cross Amelia¡¯s face.

    Amelia ced the brush on the table and ushered Chloe out to y.

    ¡°Liam? what about him?¡±

    Louisa sighed throwing her hands in the air frustratingly. ¡°Are you serious? didn¡¯t I give you an assignment the other day at the bar?¡±

    Amelia stroked her chin trying hard to remember, she gave up when nothing wasing forth.

    ¡°I seriously have no idea of what you are talking about¡±

    ¡°As you can see Liam and Allison¡¯s engagement is still trending on the inte, don¡¯t you have anything to say to him before he leaves you for the mayor¡¯s daughter?¡±

    Amelia instantly knew where exactly she was driving at. ¡°I already told him that I don¡¯t agree with the alliance¡±

    Louisa ced her hand under her chin ¡°Amy! you didn¡¯t give him a reason to stay with you, what are you waiting for tell him your feelings for him before he leaves you for good¡±

    ¡°Remember you both are only bonded by a contract after a few more months it will be over¡±

    ¡°Lou I¡¯ll talk to youter bye¡±

    ¡°Wait!¡± Louisa sighed staring at the nk screen.

    Amelia wiped the sweat that was beginning to gather on her forehead. ¡°Does Mr Arrogant even have a heart? all he does is to throw his attitude around¡±

    ¡°What are you mumbling about?¡±

    Her heart beat increased drastically as she turned towards him.

 Chapter 76_ I want to say something 2

    Liam walked into the room taking off his wrist watch, he took a nce at her suspiciously. ¡°What is going on in that silly mind of yours?¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± She asked touching her face that was sweating.

    ¡°Are you alright?¡±

    He worriedly asked seeing her sweat, he checked the Aircon but it was still functioning.

    ¡°Yeah I¡¯m okay¡±

    Liam noticed that she avoided making eye contact with him. He walked towards her pulling her face upwards.

    ¡°Are you scared or something? talk to me¡±

    Amelia closed her eyes cursing Louisa for putting her in this situation.

    Liam frowned, her behavior was really weird even more than always.

    She moved back from him and left the room leaving him puzzled.

    ¡°She is definitely up to something¡±

    ..

    .

    Amelia entered Chloe¡¯s room to find her in a sleepy state with the maid by her side reading a bedtime story for her.

    As soon as the maid saw her, she stood up from the side of the bed to grant Amelia ess.

    ¡°Thanks you may leave now¡±

    The maid bowed before leaving the room, Amelia sat on the bed beside Chloe and stroked her hair slowly she knew how hard it must be for her to be separated from her parents at such a young age.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry sweetheart for separating you from your mum and dad, I couldn¡¯t let you suffer for what you knew nothing about and your big brother is making things really difficult for you¡±

    Chloe moved in her sleepy state and ced her head on Amelia¡¯sp.

    ¡°Sleep tight¡±

    Meanwhile Liam closed hisptop, he looked at the time and sighed Amelia should have been here by now.

    He walked towards his drawer taking out a lighter and a cigarette.

    He ced the cigarette in his mouth while he lit the bottom.

    Liam turned towards the window staring at the stars that glittered the sky. He took his time to think about what has transpired in thest couple of months that passed by so quickly.

    He was so lost in his thought that he failed to realize that Amelia stepped into the room.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes scanned the room and when she didn¡¯t see him in sight she sighed in relief. ¡°Is something burning?¡± she sniffed the air walking towards the balcony which was covered with dark thick curtains.

    Liam snapped out of his thoughts as soon as he heard her sneeze and cough.

    He threw down the cigarette and went into the room.

    ¡°Were you smoking?¡±

    Liam raised both hands a little ¡°No, I quit smoking for sometime now¡±

    He defended walking towards the bed, Amelia was no fool she smelt the burnt cigarette around him as he passed by her side.

    She really wasn¡¯t in the mood to argue with him over such trivial issues, what bothered her was Louisa¡¯s words which kept ringing in her head for quite sometime now.

    She bit her lower lip thinking of how to start expressing herself to him.

    Liam sat up on the bed and looked towards her direction, he knew something was wrong with her but she wasn¡¯t ready to tell him anything.

    ¡°You know? I really prefer it when you speak non stop than when you keep mute like that¡±

    Amelia sighed walking towards the bed, shey down staring upwards.

    ¡°Liam, I want to say something¡±

    Liam¡¯s brow furrowed she had her eyes shut tightly.

    Heid back down on the bed to listen to whatever she had to say.

    ¡°Tell me¡±

    Amelia swallowed hard before letting out a sigh ¡°Have you ever fallen for someone before?¡±

    Liam raised a brow, was this really the reason she looked bothered all this while? what a silly question to ask.

    ¡°What will you achieve by asking such questions?¡±

    ¡°I only wanted to know because I like someone but I¡¯m afraid he doesn¡¯t like me too so I want you to exin what it really means to fall head over heels for a person¡±

    Liam¡¯s face freezed, her reply somehow seemed to bother him a lot, no! not bother, it annoyed him a lot.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it funny enough that you have an interest in another man and you have a huge problem when ites to my engagement to Allison¡±Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    ¡°No Liam you really didn¡¯t get me¡± Amelia corrected but Liam wasn¡¯t having any of it.

    ¡°Save it, I¡¯m really sleepy Goodnight¡±

    He turned his back against her, he didn¡¯t want to hear anything from her now.

    ¡°At least hear what I have to say¡±

    She pleaded but Instead of a response, Liam got up and left the room..

    ..

    The next morning, Brianna wheeled herself out of her room, she was passing through Liam¡¯s study when she saw it slightly opened.

    She caught sight of Liam sleeping in the room with both legs on the table.

    ¡°did he work tillte at night? or did he perhaps have a fight with Amelia?¡±

    Brianna¡¯s thoughts drifted away when she saw a little girling towards her direction.

    Chloe clutched tightly onto her teddy bear rubbing her eyes. ¡°Big sis¡± She called out until she crashed into Brianna¡¯s wheelchair.

    ¡°Careful dear¡± Brianna caught her in time to stop her from falling but there was something about this little girl that troubled her.

    ¡°A girl? whose child is she?¡±

    Brianna blinked her eyes multiple times to check if she was seeing things.

    Chloe rubbed her foot ¡°Who are you?¡±

    Brianna lifted a brow, what a cute audacity she has.

    ¡°Chloe is that how to speak to your elders?¡±

    Amelia who appeared suddenly spoke,

    ¡°Good morning mum¡± Amelia greeted nting a kiss on Brianna¡¯s cheek.

    ¡°And you little cutie what are you asking her?¡±

    Brianna touched Amelia¡¯s hand ¡°Whose child is she?¡±

    She already had a hunch on who she might be but she struggled hard to believe otherwise.

    ¡°Mum this little angel here is your step daughter Chloe, I know how hard it must be for you but that¡¯s the truth¡±

    Brianna blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall, as if having Nichs wasn¡¯t enough they still went ahead to have a little girl which shows how much they must truly love each other.

    ¡°Don¡¯t cry, daddy always says brave people never cry only the hopeless cries¡±

    The tears she was holding escaped her eyes staining her cheeks, this was one of mark¡¯s motto when she was still with him.

    Amelia gently wiped her tears away ¡°What¡¯s the point of crying now? it won¡¯t still change anything all you need to do is to ept the harsh reality that life throws at us¡±

    Liam came out of the study room to witness the scene going on in front of his study.

    Only one nce he could tell what must have happened, it was no doubt that Chloe looked a lot like her mother and this was the major reason he disliked her.

 Chapter 77_ I love you Liam!

    Amelia turned towards Chloe ¡°Go to my room and wait there okay?¡±

    Chloe nodded and left for the room, Liam walked out of the study room and held the handles of her wheelchair. ¡°Mum there¡¯s no need to cry over spilt milk¡±

    Hemented pushing his mum away without sparing Amelia a single nce.

    Amelia¡¯s thought drifted tost night¡¯s event, he left the room after she asked that question he didn¡¯t even let her speak, she returned to the room to find Chloe crotched down.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡±

    Chloe stood up and faced Amelia with Liam¡¯sptop.

    Amelia panicked slightly and hijacked it from her, she examined it for a while and sighed in relief when it turned on.

    ¡°What were you doing?¡±

    ¡°I was trying to open the curtains but then theptop fell from the drawer¡±

    Amelia mped Chloe¡¯s mouth shut and looked around, if Liam were to find out he¡¯ll definitely cut off her tiny fingers. She quickly returned theptop to where it was originally kept.

    ¡°Who asked you to touch it?¡±

    She was still scolding Chloe when the door opened.

    Liam massaged his neck, he was cramped all throughout the night in the study at a point he had the urge to go back to the room but his pride beat him to it.

    ¡°I can help massage your neck if¡­.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need your help¡±

    His answer came out sharp and cold which hurt Amelia badly..

    .

    Brianna looked back and forth between the two who were sitting far away from each other in the long dining, she noticed that they barely looked at each other¡¯s direction.

    Now her doubts were confirmed, these two definitely had a quarrel.

    ¡± is everything alright between you both?¡±

    They both raised their head from their meals, their eyes met for a second before they turned to Brianna.

    Liam peeped at his wrist watch and stood up from his seat. ¡°I¡¯m runningte for an important meeting¡± He said and left the dining.

    Amelia avoided Brianna¡¯s piercing stare, she wiped out the smudge off Chloe¡¯s face. ¡°I have to take Chloe to school and I¡¯ll be visiting a friend of mer today¡±

    Amelia took Chloe by her small hands and left the dining hurriedly to avoid further questions.

    Brianna¡¯s lips formed a thin line, something was definitely wrong and no matter what it might be she had something big nned for them.

    ¡°Tina take me back to my room¡±

    ..

    Nichs scribbled down on a paper, today was the day he nned on taking Jane out of the asylum he was lucky enough that they could only let her out for two days.

    The iron gate which guarded her was opened to let her out while anotherdy entered the cage. ¡°You know what you have to do? just act to be Jane for two days you¡¯ll be out soon¡±

    Jane stepped out and smiled evilly, she was finally free now she would make Liam and Amelia¡¯s lives a living hell.

    Nichs waved at her which she totally ignored, she pulled off the number tag from her blue overall which was meant specifically for the mental patients.

    ¡°I kept my promise it¡¯s time to do yours¡± Nichs whispered.

    Jane¡¯s bloodshot eyes sent a chilly feeling down his spine, that was all he wanted, a maddy like her wouldn¡¯t think twice before sending Liam to his early grave.

    And then he would get married to his widowed sister-inw, his thoughts were interrupted when Jane snapped her fingers at him.

    ¡°You fool stop daydreaming about anything I won¡¯t spare either one of them! they made me live and dine with mad patients and now I¡¯ll ruin their lives just as they toyed with mine¡±

    Nichs went numb, did he just invite trouble for himself? what if she really harm Amelia or does anything stupid? So far Amelia was already upset with him he just prayed that Jane doesn¡¯t ruin everything for him..

    .

    Dn closed down hisptop as soon as he saw who stepped in, his expression showed how shock he truly was. ¡°Liam? what are you doing here? you should have asked me toe over to yourpany instead¡±

    Liam helped himself to sit in front of Dn, ¡°Are you alright? you don¡¯t look too good¡±

    Liam lifted a questioning brow ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°I meant to say that you look a bit duller than usual tell me what made you upset¡±

    Liam sighed, he rubbed his jaw slightly, just how was he supposed to tell Dn about his plight without him making jest of him.

    ¡°Is it about you wife?¡±

    ¡°She¡¯s in love with someone else I¡¯m thinking of breaking the contract marriage with her¡±

    Dn¡¯s jaw dropped in shock and disbelief, he stroked his chin and sat up from his seat.

    ¡°That¡¯s really not possible, you are the only man in her life¡±

    ¡°She told mest night and if I¡¯m right I think it¡¯s that actor, kelvin! she¡¯s always singing about his praises every now and then¡±

    Dn sighed, he really doesn¡¯t understand girls anymore, but he felt really bad for Liam, Amelia managed to pull him out of his shell and now she loves someone else.

    What if that wasn¡¯t the case? He took out his phone and sent a message almost immediately Louisa came in.

    ¡°You sent for me¡±

    ¡°We just found out that Amelia eloped with another man who she loves dearly howe you never told me yesterday?¡±

    Liam who was in a deep thought came out of his reverie as soon as he heard what Dn said.

    Louisa looked back and forth between the two, she had a confused expression on her face. ¡°What do you mean by elope with another guy? she doesn¡¯t like any other guy apart from¡­..¡±

    She creased her brow in suspicion, were they trying to get things out of her.

    ¡°Apart from?¡± Dn asked

    Louisa cleared her throat ¡°that was a slip of the tongue¡±

    Liam waved her off, she was only making matters worse for him.

    ¡°What if she is with another guy why does it bother you so much?¡±

    Liam closed his eyes for a while touching the space between his brows.

    As soon as Louisa left the Dn¡¯s office she called Amelia. ¡°Youngdy you have a lot of exnation to do, I can¡¯t believe you ignored what I asked you to do, Fine! I¡¯ll meet you there¡±

    Amelia walked into the restaurant and scanned it till she spotted Louisa sipping a ss of wine. She made her way to Louisa¡¯s table.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for keeping you waiting, I had to stop by the hospital to see Greg, the doctor called¡±

    Louisa stared at Amelia in disbelief ¡°So what if he dies? to hell with him you should be more concerned about Liam not that looser¡±

    Amelia rolled her eyes, of course she always takes Liam¡¯s side.

    ¡°You have no idea of how stupid I feltst night, he must think that I¡¯m a big weirdo and that¡¯s thanks to you¡±Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    Louisa held Amelia¡¯s hand that was on the table, ¡°Liam thinks that you like another guy and not him, he came to Dn¡¯s office today and he looked really mad¡±.

    ¡°So that exins his weird behavior sincest night, oh my!¡±

    Amelia folded her arms, does he really have feelings for her or was he mad because she broke a rule in the contract which states that she must not be involved with any other man apart from him.

    Louisa snapped her fingers in front of Amelia¡¯s face to bring her out of her reverie.

    ¡°When do you n on telling him? or do you want to watch him marry that Allison?¡±

    ¡°No!!, I¡¯ll tell him everything this night I promise¡±

    ..

    .

    Amelia paced around her bedroom mumbling words to herself, she tapped her head at her own foolishness.

    She had been practicing how to start expressing her feelings once Liam showed up.

    Her heart leaped once she heard his car pulling in, She mentally counted his steps after sometime the door pushed open.

    Liam¡¯s eyes darted around till it met her¡¯s, She stood up on her feet to approach him but he walked towards the closet instead.

    ¡°Liam can I speak to you?¡± Amelia asked only to receive silence in return. Was he that upset with her?

    ¡°You misunderstood my wordsst night I really ¡­

    Liam sighed and turned to her with an indifferent face. ¡°I had a really busy and stressful day at the office today don¡¯t try to make me mad¡± Heshed out coldly at her.

    ¡°I only have one man in my life who I truly cherish and love dearly¡­.

    Liam grabbed her arm pushing her backwards till her back touched the wall.

    ¡°Don¡¯t make me mad I¡¯m warning you¡± He pressed her chin slightly sending her warning gazes.

    Amelia roughly pulled his hand away ¡°You fool! you are the man I¡¯ve been talking about all these while!¡±

    ¡°I love you Liam!¡±

 Chapter 78_ Honeymoon trip 1

    Amelia breathed heavily she smacked his arm slightly holding his cor. ¡°Do you really think I¡¯ll elope with another man?¡±

    Liam was rendered speechless he could only stare at her in surprise.

    ¡°Why are you quiet? won¡¯t you say anything? hmp! I knew I shouldn¡¯t have said anything to you¡±

    She turned her back against him feigning anger but to her surprise she heard the door close behind her..

    ..

    Liam didn¡¯t return to the roomter that night which made Amelia worried and restless.

    The next morning at the dining Brianna stared at the couple in front of her, she noticed that they were even more distant than yesterday.

    ¡°Umm Amelia what is going on between you two?¡±

    Amelia turned towards Brianna dropping her cutleries. ¡°You see mum, I also want to know, I told a man that I loved him but he didn¡¯t reply instead he left the room and didn¡¯t appear all through the night!¡±

    Brianna gasped in surprise and turned towards Liam. ¡°And you?¡±

    ¡°Well I have no exnations¡± he shrugged which annoyed Amelia.

    ¡°Mum do you see his attitude? so arrogant!¡±

    Brianna nodded her head in understanding, these two needed time to fix their rtionship.

    ¡°Well you two need time to understand each other better that¡¯s why I¡¯ve arranged for your honeymoon trip which is tomorrow¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Liam and Amelia stared at Brianna in wonderment.

    ¡°I¡¯ve been nning this all week, and I don¡¯t want to hear any form of excuse¡±

    ¡°But mum¡­..

    Brianna gasped for air acting holding her chest ¡°I don¡¯t know how much time I have left but¡­¡­.

    She gasped continuously while Liam and Amelia exchanged a brief nce.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry mum¡± She stabbed her steak maintaining eye contact with Liam ¡°I¡¯ll go on the said trip¡±

    Brianna¡¯s gasp increased, Liam massaged his temples. ¡°I will also go¡±

    Brianna stopped gasping and smiled at them ¡°okay great¡±

    ..

    Amelia opened the closet mumbling to herself while packing her clothes into a pink luggage, Liam nced up from hisptop.

    He had to work from home because of the trip, he was on a business call but ady keeps making noises.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure he likes anotherdy that¡¯s the reason he is behaving strangely with me! I know that because he is on a video call with that samedy¡±

    Liam took a brief nce at her and shook his head slowly he resisted the urge tough out at her behavior.

    ¡°Chloe came down from the bed and sat on Amelia¡¯s luggage. ¡°Big sis if you two leave who will I stay with?¡±

    Amelia touched Chloe¡¯s cheeks pulling it a little ¡°Hmm little cutie I know thedy who can take care of you till I get back¡±

    ¡°You two keep your voice down I¡¯m busy over here¡± Liam scolded.

    ¡°Of course you are busy talking to ady I just hope your signal don¡¯t get crossed¡± She mumbled pulling off the wifi connection. ¡°Oops it did¡± she added in sarcasm.

    Liam stared at her in unbelief, he ced hisptop on the sofa and turned back to her ¡°I was on a business call with ady is anything wrong with that? stop acting jealous¡±

    Amelia bit her lower lip in embarrassment, it seems she misunderstood him.

    ¡°You are heartless Liam, you know what? maybe your mum did me a huge favor by arranging our honeymoon trip I would use that opportunity to look for a handsome young man to spend my life with¡±

    ¡°Okay¡±

    ..

    .

    Louisa admired the dishes on her small dining table. She picked up her cutlery to dig in when she heard the door bell. ¡°Of course! what a good timing¡± She snorted sarcastically.

    She reluctantly got up from her seat moving to the door.

    ¡°Hello¡± Dn greeted helping himself into the apartment, Louisa stared at his back in surprise. ¡®Just when did we get so close for him to visit me every now and then¡¯ she thought inwardly.

    ¡°Hmm I¡¯ll definitely have breakfast here¡± he concluded taking a seat as he sniffed the air.

    ¡°Umm hello, it¡¯s the weekend and what excuse do you have this time to be here?¡± She asked with her hands folded.

    Dn shrugged taking a bite out of his fork ¡± I have every reason to visit you¡±

    Louisa lifted a brow, what reasons does a boss have to visit his employee at home so early.

    ¡°You know the only reasons that I¡¯m talking to you is because you are my boss and you are Liam¡¯s friend¡±

    Dn¡¯s fork stopped mid air, that was harsh however he didn¡¯t let that stop him from eating his meal.

    ¡°I need your help okay?¡±

    ¡°If it¡¯s not work rted stuff consider me out!¡± Louisa grumbled.

    ¡°Come to my house tomorrow night to have dinner¡± He said more like an order.

    Louisa grabbed the table knife on the table pointing it to his throat. ¡°Listen Dn I¡¯m not at yourpany don¡¯t expect me to give you the same respect I give you at the office and to crown it all I¡¯m not going to make it I¡¯m seeing a movie with Jake tomorrow night¡±

    Dn rxed back on his seat staring at her slightly annoyed face. ¡°I don¡¯t mind dying at your hands, your eyes is enough to send me to the seventh heaven¡±

    ¡°If you flirt with me I¡¯ll beat you up!¡± She seconded.

    ¡°What if you don¡¯t have a choice? I mean what if Jake can¡¯t make it tomorrow or any other day?¡±

    Louisa¡¯s lips parted in wonderment, this guy was really something, did he n on harming Jake?

    ¡°Do you n on killing him? if anything happens to my boyfriend I¡¯ll hold you responsible¡±

    Dn shrugged, his mind was made up already tomorrow night Louisa will have dinner at his house and that is final.

    ¡°I hope your boyfriend doesn¡¯t mind? I will definitely spend most of my time here today!¡±

    ..

    Angie held Nichs arm pulling him out of the apartment with her. ¡°You brought her home? have you gone mad?¡±

    Nichs threw his face to the other side avoiding her gaze. ¡°Mum you couldn¡¯t do anything to Liam all these years now I know exactly what to do and please don¡¯t try to stop me¡±This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Angie smacked his head a little ¡°Just tell me where the switch controlling your brain is located at let me see if it¡¯s broken!¡± She scorned pulling his head downward.

    ¡°Mum let go!¡±

    ¡°you fool! do you know what you¡¯ve done? you released Liam¡¯s captive do you n on taking her ce at the asylum as well?¡±

    Nichs rolled his eyes at his mum, she wasn¡¯t getting the point or maybe because she hasn¡¯t seen Jane¡¯s new found crazy side yet!.

    ¡°All you have to do is watch! I¡¯ve done my part the only thing remaining Is for Jane to finish her part, and by that I mean Liam¡¯splete elimination¡± Nichs stressed every words.

    ¡°Are you nning on killing your brother?!¡±

    They both snapped their heads to the door.

 Chapter 79_ Honeymoon trip 2

    Angie swallowed hard as she met old Grayson¡¯s fierce eyes, her stupid son has managed to drag her into his own mess.

    Nichs cleared his throat to speak but was shunned.

    ¡°Save it! I also want to know how to get rid of that stubborn mule¡±

    Angie and Nichs stared at each other in shock. They didn¡¯t see thising..

    ..

    Brianna waved her hand to Chloe urging her toe forward. ¡°Where is Amelia and Liam?¡±

    ¡°Big sis is packing my stuff but I haven¡¯t seen big bro anywhere¡±

    ¡°Hmm that¡¯s okay, I need your little help follow me¡±

    Chloe nodded following Brianna¡¯s slow movement into her room.

    Brianna wheeled herself to her bed, she took a ck box which was resting on top of her bed.

    ¡°Dear do you see this?¡±

    Chloe peeped into the box and nodded ¡°Yes I¡¯ve seen it on tv shows¡±

    Brianna pulled her cheeks slightly ¡°I¡¯ll teach you how to use it but first you must promise me that you won¡¯t tell your big bro or big sis¡±

    ¡°Okay I promise¡±

    ..

    Amelia rolled her eyes at Louisa who wasining about Dn. ¡°I think he likes you¡± Amelia chuckled.

    ¡°Eww no! you won¡¯t believe that he is sleeping on my favorite couch I¡¯ve tried countless times to wake him up but he didn¡¯t budge¡±

    Liam walked into the room pulling off his coat.

    ¡°Hello Mr Grayson¡± Louisa waved at him.

    Liam smiled at her and waved back a little ¡°Hello Louisa¡±

    ¡°Hmm Amelia by the glow on Mr Grayson¡¯s face I think that something wonderful must have happened between you two¡±

    Amelia took a side nce at Liam ¡°Yes the same wonderful thing that happened between you and Dn¡±

    Louisa gasped in surprise ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell him anything?¡±

    Amelia folded her arm ¡°Well I did exactly as you instructed, he had no idea of how nervous I was when I told him that I loved him but guess what? Mr arrogant left the room and he has been avoiding me since then¡±

    Liam who was in the closet smiled at her words which clearly showed how angry she was at him.

    ¡°I know you¡¯ll take his side but don¡¯t bother saying anything, by the way I¡¯ll send Chloe to you tomorrow before I leave¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll be expecting her¡± Louisa grinned from ear to ear.

    ¡°Bye¡±

    ..

    Amelia filed her finger nails watching the the entertainment news. Her lips turned into a mischievous grin when it got to she and Kelvin¡¯s supposed rtionship.

    She increased the volume beyond normal human hearing capacity.

    Liam raised his head from his phone when the tv volume suddenly went high.

    ¡°We¡¯ve been seeing this two recently together for a while, some sources says that they might be together while other sources says that they are shooting a movie together but whatever it might be this two really look amazing together which makes their fans wonder if they are in a rtionship or not¡±

    ¡°We also received information months ago when Amelia Hart came out iming to be engaged but up till date she hasn¡¯t mentioned anything about her engagement to any news source¡±

    Liam gritted his teeth in anger he was really doing all he could to control his anger, his knuckles cracked slightly when a photo of Amelia and kelvin popped up where they were holding each other¡¯s hands

    ¡°Hmm that¡¯s right I never said anything about the engagement again itpletely escaped my mind, maybe I should really post kelvin as my fiance maybe then everyone will finally know the rtionship which we truly share¡± Amelia thought out loud enough for Liam to hear.

    He saw her picking up her phone, his legs moved on their own ord towards her. He pulled her phone from her and turned off the tv.

    ¡°You and I know well enough that the engagement was not real at all infact there was never a guy¡±

    Amelia snatched back her phone ¡°So what? if I tell the media they will believe me, and why do you care? I thought we were going with the silent treatment¡±

    Liam sighed, how was he to exin things to his wife?

    ¡°You are being so hard on yourself, do you want to create another scandal for yourself?¡±

    ¡°Hello, you see this as a scandal but my loyal fans sees I and kelvin as the best couple¡±

    Liam gave up talking to her, he was sure that she would make his life a living hell one day..

    ..

    That night Chloe snuck into Liam¡¯s bedroom after she saw their lights go off.

    She nced back at Brianna who was at the corridor, she gave chloe a thumbs up to go on.

    Amelia opened her eyes as soon as the morning rays fell on her face, She let out a broad smile that brightened her face just like the morning rays.

    She was so happy, today she and Liam would go on their first honeymoon trip.

    She sat up and was about to get out of the bed when she noticed the handcuffs on their hands. Liam suddenly turned which made Amelia crash on his body, her lips pressed softly against his cheeks.

    And just then his eyes opened, his brows furrowed slightly at her level of shamelessness was she trying to take advantage of him while he was asleep?..

    Amelia shook her head slightly she knew what must be going through his mind now.

    ¡°It¡¯s not really what you think¡±

    ¡°You were trying to force yourself on me¡± He said with a raised brow.

    ¡°What? no¡±

    Amelia rolled off from his body and sat up she stared down at the cuffs holding their hands together.

    Liam followed her line of sight and was dumbfounded. ¡°Who did this?¡±

    They heard smallughsing from the farther end of the room.

    ¡°Now you both are stuck together¡±

    Liam got up from the bed pulling Amelia with him. ¡°So it was you little devil¡±

    ¡°Cutie did you do this?¡±

    Chloe smiled once again and dashed out of the room.

    ¡°Did you see that? only a few days with you and see how much she has learned from you¡±

    ¡°Now isn¡¯t the time to me me okay? we have to find the key to open this cuffs¡±

    Brianna highfived Chloe, now those two will surely get along for the rest of the day.

    She heard their fast paced steps descending down the stairs.

    ¡°Chloe!¡± Liam called out to see her hide behind his mum¡¯s wheelchair.

    Amelia panted heavily she had a little bit trouble keeping up with Liam¡¯s pace.

    ¡°I can see she did the job I gave her well¡± Brianna said holding back herughter.

    ¡°Mum how could you? this wasn¡¯t really necessary¡±

    Ameliained bitterly stepping forward, Liam stood rooted on the same spot, Amelia turned back to him when he didn¡¯t move an inch.

    ¡°I want to move¡±

    ¡°But I don¡¯t want to move from this spot¡±

    ¡°Well you two won¡¯t learn that easily, so I made this handcuff especially for you both it only has one key¡±

    ¡°Mum will you please unlock this? we have to leave today¡± Amelia pleaded but Brianna was having non of it.

    ¡°I¡¯m not with the key but you¡¯ll find the key on your bed at the house where I have prepared for you two¡±

    Liam stared at his mum in disbelief, he expected this kind of mischief from Amelia. she has managed to influence his mum and Chloe.

    ¡°But there¡¯s a condition¡±This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

 Chapter 80_ Stuck together

    Amelia sighed, this wasn¡¯t what she was expecting for today. ¡°Geez mum, a condition?¡±

    Brianna nodded her head, it pained her so much that such a beautiful pair were only bonded by a signed paper.

    ¡°Yes dear, if you both don¡¯t work together you will never find the key but when you do find the key you¡¯ll realize how useless the key is¡±

    Liam and Amelia¡¯s brows furrowed in confusion, Brianna was making them more confused.

    ¡°I don¡¯t get you¡±

    Brianna shrugged, ¡°I don¡¯t n on exining it twice, so figure it out yourself!¡±

    ¡°Why do I feel like all these is your fault?¡± Liam started facing Amelia.

    ¡°My fault? you me me for every little thing that doesn¡¯t go your way¡± Amelia murmured.

    Liam turned to his mum ¡°Mum how are we supposed to take a bath and put on our clothes with this on our hands?¡±

    ¡°Then don¡¯t take a bath or change clothes until you get there¡±

    ¡°Wow mum! what an arrangement, you could have just handcuffed only him and given me the keys I promise I wouldn¡¯t have thrown it into a sea¡± Amelia scorned sarcastically.

    Brianna rolled her eyes and wheeled herself away from them, they still had a long day ahead of them to sought themselves out.

    ¡°Of course you are always at fault it was because of you that my mum brought this custom made handcuffs that has only one useless key!¡±

    Amelia¡¯s lips parted slightly ¡°Mr arrogant don¡¯t try to pin all the me on me¡±

    Amelia took a step forward to leave but Liam didn¡¯t budge at all. *cough* ¡°I want to go upstairs now maybe you¡¯ve forgotten but we still have to get ready¡±

    ¡°Well I don¡¯t feel like moving right now, you go ahead I will catch up with you¡±

    ..

    .

    Amelia cleared her throat darting her eyes everywhere except Liam¡¯s direction.

    ¡°I want to pee¡±

    Liam raised a brow at her ¡°So? don¡¯t expect me to follow you in there¡±

    ¡°You have no choice than toe along¡± Amelia said walking away giving Liam no other option other than to follow her.

    Amelia narrowed her eyes at Liam when he was still looking at her.

    ¡°I thought you wanted to pee¡±

    ¡°Yeah! but I can¡¯t do that if you keep staring at me that way!¡±

    Liam sighed and turned his face away from her, his lips moved on its on own as he mumbled some words. ¡°There¡¯s really no need to hide your body from me I¡¯ve seen everything about you¡±

    Amelia sat on the toilet seat releasing all her liquids.

    ¡°Are you not done yet?¡±

    ¡°If you don¡¯t keep quiet now I will change my initial idea and poo!¡±

    Liam¡¯s face scrunched at the sound of him having to stand there while she poo.

    They both gave up the thought of taking a bath since it was impossible for them to take off their clothes with the cuff still holding them together.

    Liam knelt in front of Brianna pulling Amelia down with him in the process, he still has second thoughts about leaving her alone in the house.

    ¡°Mum you know I still have this indescribable feeling of leaving you all alone¡±

    Amelia suddenly had a brilliant thought, she almost forgot her mum was currently in the city. ¡°Liam my mum cane over and stay with her I also don¡¯t want to leave her all alone¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s a good idea¡±

    ¡°I told you both that I will be fine on my own¡± Brianna argued.

    ¡°Trust me my mum is a fun person to be with and she is also a nurse so you have nothing to worry about¡±

    Brianna sighed in defeat and nodded to their words.

    ¡°Bye mum¡±

    ¡°Bye I hope you give me some good news when you are back¡±

    Amelia threw her bag at the guard behind her ¡°Hold that!¡±

    ¡°Hurry up we don¡¯t have all day we might miss our flight!¡± Amelia said impatiently pulling Liam into the car.

    Liam entered the backseat with her before the car moved out of the premises.

    ¡°Big sis can¡¯t I reallye along?¡±

    Liam nced briefly at the little girl ¡°You are not going anywhere if you say one more word I will throw you out of this moving car¡±

    Amelia smacked his arm ¡°She is just a kid Liam stop scolding her¡±

    ¡°A kid? she is a witch, can any normal kid do this?¡± he snorted raising their cuffed hands.

    Chloe bowed her head, her big bro always scold her no matter what she asks.

    ¡°Don¡¯t feel bad Chloe, and Liam your attitude towards her won¡¯t change anything the reality still remains as it is, she is your sister no matter how hard you try to deny it¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to pretend that I like her when I don¡¯t¡±

    ¡°I also don¡¯t like your stepmom at all but I can¡¯t hate Chloe all because she looks like her mum, it¡¯s not her fault¡± Amelia argued.

    Liam corked a brow at her ¡°Then is it my fault?¡±

    ¡°Liam you are taking this the wrong way, the truth is that you haven¡¯t been able to move on from your past, I know you had a rough childhood where you were deprived of your parents love and affection¡±

    ¡°But you were given another chance and yet you are running away from it, it won¡¯t hurt you to love anyone just give it a try¡±

    There was an awkward silence in the moving car, both of them were lost in their own thoughts. The car came to a stop after a while.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    Amelia whined down the windshield when she spotted Louisaing towards their car.

    ¡°Amy¡±

    Amelia guided Chloe out of the car after a brief exchange of kisses.

    A guard stepped forward with Chloe¡¯s baggage handing over to Louisa.

    ¡°Bye big sis¡± Chloe waved her tiny fingers.

    ¡°Bye cutie¡±

    Amelia cleared her throat to gain Liam¡¯s attention, she corked a brow when he still wasn¡¯t getting what she meant.

    ¡°what?¡±

    ¡°Look at the poor girl¡¯s face will you say something or should I force you?¡±

    ¡°Stay away from trouble¡± He mumbled while ring at Chloe.

    Louisa noticed the cuff and was about to speak but the car sped off.

    ¡°am I seeing things now?¡±¡­

 Chapter 81_ feelings we share 1

    Their car pulled over at the airport, Amelia hopped down from the car pulling Liam with her while admiring the white shinny ne before her.

    ¡°Wow Liam I love it!¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t get it for you!¡± Liam scorned pulling her along with him into the ne.

    Amelia¡¯s lips dropped as she saw the insides which looked like a suite. ¡°Finally you did something that I¡¯m proud of¡± she mumbled

    ¡°did you say something?¡±

    ¡°I said it looks great¡±

    She sat down on one of the plush seats, a moan escaped her lips as her butt sank into thefortable seat.

    Liam took the seat in front of her not like he had a choice though since they were stuck to each other.

    ¡°I had no idea that we will be taking our own private jet, you should have told me earlier¡±

    ¡°Our?¡± Liam asked with a teasing tone with a hint of sarcasm.

    ¡°Yeah it¡¯s ours now because I¡¯m your wife¡±

    Amelia nced down at the seatbelt, how were they supposed to put on their seatbelts now?

    ¡°You have to sit on tight if you want to survive¡±

    Amelia stopped one of the guards who was passing by with their baggage.

    ¡°Hey you! help me with my seatbelt¡±

    The guard itched his head, his boss will definitely murder him if he dares to touch his wife.

    ¡°Will you hurry up?¡± Amelia scolded him before he helped her buckle her seatbelts.

    ¡°Now you must hold on tight if you want to survive¡± Amelia scorned.

    Few minutester the ne took off from the ground, Liam ced a earpiece in his ears to prevent hearing Amelia¡¯s non stop screams of excitement.

    ¡°Woah! everything looks so tiny from up here¡±

    Liam hissed in frustration, despite the earpiece in his ear her voice still managed to pierce through it.

    ¡°This isn¡¯t your first time on a ne please stop screaming I feel like my brain might explode soon if you don¡¯t stop¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know about you but I¡¯m very excited and mind you Mr Arrogant we are thousands of feet above the ground don¡¯t try to stop my excitement or I will push you out¡±

    The guard who was sitting behind them almost bursted out inughter, these two im that they were going for a honeymoon but there wasn¡¯t even a trace of affection or love in their behavior.

    Liam swallowed hard from her threat, even though he knew that they were empty threats he could still feel the underlying danger.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you curious on where mum might have prepared for us? I¡¯m dying to know¡± Amelia excitedly asked.

    ¡°it¡¯s one of my houses located at a hilltop¡±

    Amelia¡¯s smiling face turned into a frown ¡°Yeah showoff!¡±

    ..

    .

    Chloe looked around Louisa¡¯s medium apartment, back at the Grayson¡¯s house this was the size of her yroom alone.

    Louisa came out of the kitchen with a ss of chocte milk handing it over to Chloe.

    ¡°Here you go, and please don¡¯t be shy to speak to me I¡¯m almost as fun as your big sis¡±

    Chloe took a sip from her ss ¡°Super nice aunt where is my room?¡±

    Louisa chuckled at the new nickname that she was given.

    ¡°What? i feel that name is too long for you to say why don¡¯t you call me Lou, my name is Louisa but you see few people call me Lou¡±

    ¡°Okay Lou¡±

    Louisa ran her hands to Chloe¡¯s ck hair ¡°I hope you don¡¯t mind my mini apartment¡±

    Chloe¡¯s lips twitched of course she minded but she had to force a nod.

    There was a knock on the door, Louisa rolled her eyes she knew who the nosy fellow was.

    She turned to Chloe ¡°Chloe there¡¯s someone who alwayses here to bother me a lot I¡¯m counting on you to make him ufortable okay?¡±

    ¡°Okay Lou¡±

    She opened the door and her face fell as soon as she saw another guy¡¯s face other than her thoughts.

    ¡°Hello ma¡¯am, a package has been sent for you please sign here¡±

    Louisa looked around just to be sure he wasn¡¯t ying a game with her or hiding somewhere.

    ¡°Ma¡¯am¡± The delivery guy called out.

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Your signature¡±

    Louisa took the notepad and scribbled down on it before handing it over to him.

    Once he left her corridor, she looked around the block, she sighed and gave up when she couldn¡¯t spot him anywhere.

    Louisa picked up the box and went back inside, she examined the box suspiciously.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t order anything who could have sent this? She mumbled to herself.

    She opened the box and saw a note lying inside, she took it out and went through it. ¡°Hi Lou this is the dress I sent for you to wear to my house for dinner tonight¡±

    ¡°This guy is unbelievable! I told him that I won¡¯t be able to make it tonight¡±

    ¡°Is he your boyfriend?¡±

    Louisa¡¯s lips fell apart, she pressed her palm against Chloe¡¯s mouth.

    ¡°Who thought you that word?¡±

    Chloe peeked her tongue at Louisa¡¯s palm ¡°Nick always speaks about his girlfriend all day and when I asked him what the meaning was he exined it to me¡±

    Louisa¡¯s mouth twitched ¡°Of course! what a looser he truly is¡± She mumbled beneath her breathe..

    ..

    Liam faced Amelia as soon as the nended but she was fast asleep, he didn¡¯t know if he should wake her up or let her sleep some more.

    She looked really pretty whenever she was calm and fast asleep, his curious hands brushed back the fringe falling on her face.

    He needed to take in the beauty in front of him, he saw her lips form a smile before it turned into a frown.

    ¡°Is she having a nightmare? or maybe she is just possessed¡± he concluded.

    He snapped out of his daze and his face returned back to the aloof and indifferent face he had been putting on earlier.

    ¡°Hey! wake up¡± He tapped her cheeks gently.

    Amelia let out a small yawn looking around her, she looked out of the window. ¡°Wow how long was I out?¡± she mumbled.

    ¡°Wee back young miss can we please leave now? or do you perhaps n on taking a second nap?¡±

    Amelia angrily stood up and Liam followed suite. ¡°You are weird Liam, it¡¯s not really my fault that I slept off¡±

    ¡°So will you me me for that as well and what do you mean it¡¯s not your fault? I didn¡¯t force your eyelids close¡± Liam argued.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    Amelia stepped on his foot and was about to run off, shepletely forgot that she was still cuffed with him.

    Liam drew her back with a single pull, she crashed on his firm body. ¡°Where exactly are you running to? have you forgotten we¡¯ve been bonded together?¡±

    For a minute there Amelia felt his words had a different underlying meaning.

    ¡°Liam what are the feelings we share?¡±

    Liam¡¯s gaze averted from her face, he has been avoiding a question like this all day long, he held her hand walking out of the ne.

    A ck Mercedes Benz sped towards them and stopped by their side.

    A guard opened the door for them to enter, they really had to reach their destination on time in order to get this cuffs out.

 Chapter 82_ Feelings we share 2

    Cecile held her luggage going to the front desk to check out from the hotel she had been staying for a while now.

    When she got to the first desk, she handed over her keys to the receptionist. just when she was about to leave she spotted a guy and ady entering the hotel.

    ¡°Is that Liam?¡±

    She turned her face away until they both stood beside her.

    ¡°Mr Grayson please this way¡± The manager ushered them in.

    Cecile sighed in relief when she saw it was a different person. ¡°So much resemnce, who knows he might be a rtive of the Grayson¡¯s or perhaps his step brother¡±

    Meanwhile Jane lowered her head to avoid being recognized by Cecile, She ced down her face cap and dark spectacles properly, she knew how curious Cecile was just like her daughter.

    She came out of the hotel and to her surprise a car was already waiting for her.

    ¡°Ma¡¯am we¡¯ve been instructed by Mr Grayson to take you home¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    The guard took her baggage cing it in the other car behind them.

    ¡°My son inw is so considerate unlike my daughter!¡±..

    ..

    Amelia¡¯s jaw dropped in awe as the car sped past the driveway which was lined up with matured trees and immactely trimmed shrubs.

    She gasped at the marbled fountain of arge bird with water pouring out of its beak.

    She thought she had seen it all until the building itself appeared.

    The roof was made of te, with decorative gables and turrets. The exterior was made of a pale stone, withrge windows adorned with intricate stained ss. The front of the mansion had a grand portico, with columns and arge double door.

    The grounds was immactely kept, with a sweeping driveway leading up to the mansion.

    Liam couldn¡¯t contain the feelings he felt as he watched her awe at every little thing that came in sight.

    As soon as the car stopped she jumped out excitedly pulling Liam who unfortunately bumped his head against the car¡¯s roof.

    ¡°Oops I¡¯m so sorry¡±

    Liam red at her ¡°Your excitement will definitely get you into trouble today¡±

    Amelia shrugged and pulled him into the house, she just couldn¡¯t wait to see the insides of this heaven.

    Immediately she entered the front door, she was greeted with a sweeping staircase, made of polished wood and wrought iron railings.

    The foyer was adorned with marble statues and a grand chandelier. And the floor was made of polished stone, with arge area rug in the center. It was like something out of a movie, luxurious and opulent.

    ¡°I love the decor! it¡¯s beautiful!¡± Amelia squealed in excitement.

    Liam sighed, today his eardrums was surely bound to rupture from her constant screams of excitement.

    Her legs itched so much to climb the stairs that were really shinny and tempting. Before Liam could butt in any words he found himself running behind her on the staircase.

    The view that came in front of herpletely warmed her heart.

    The view from therge windows was simply breathtaking. From this vantage point, you can see the entire valley below, with the town nestled in the middle.

    In the distance, you can see the rolling hills covered in lush green grass, with clusters of trees dotting thendscape. On a clear day, you can even see the glistening blue waters of ake in the distance.

    As the sun sets, the sky turns a beautiful shade of pink and purple, with the stars twinkling overhead. It¡¯s was a view that never gets old, no matter how many times you see it.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it beautiful?¡±

    Amelia asked to receive a grunt from Liam, he couldn¡¯t wait anymore to take this cuff off his wrists that was starting to hurt.

    ¡°We have to take this offe with me¡±

    Amelia held his hand to stop him from leaving, ¡°Liam don¡¯t you think that mum did this for a reason? it is obvious she wants us to get along well¡±

    Liam arched a brow ¡°So?¡±

    Amelia stared at him in unbelief, this wasn¡¯t the response she was expecting to hear from him.

    ¡°So? do you want to keep fighting with me forever? if that¡¯s what you want believe me I won¡¯t get tired of it¡±

    Liam released a breathe taking her into their supposed room.

    Liam spotted the key on the bed and sighed in relief walking towards the bed.

    ¡°I guess that¡¯s the key unlock it¡±

    Liam inserted the key into the keyhole but it didn¡¯t fit. ¡°This isn¡¯t the right key¡±

    ¡°So mum made a fool out of us maybe we are bound to remain this way until we return back home¡± Amelia cried out.

    Liam pulled out his phone, he ced the phone on the bedside table as soon as the call went through.

    ¡°Wow you guys reached so fast¡± Brianna said wiggling her eyebrows.

    ¡°Mum this key is indeed useless just as you said earlier¡± Liamined bitterly.

    ¡°Yeah mum you tricked us¡± Amelia added

    Brianna shook her head in denial, this two didn¡¯t get what she was trying to do. She could tell from their expression that they were frustrated.

    ¡°No dear I didn¡¯t trick you two, I made this arrangement especially so you could enjoy some quality time together¡± Brianna exined.

    ¡°How are we supposed to enjoy ourselves if this is on our wrist?¡±

    Brianna tapped her chin as if in deep thought, she turned towards the screen again and shrieked out. ¡°There¡¯s a mouse behind you!!¡±

    Amelia jumped into Liam¡¯s embrace out of fright, not those little monsters.

    Liam held the big baby clutching onto him tightly, they heard two clicks from the cuff and watched it drop to the floor.

    Liam and Amelia exchanged brief nced of surprise and turned to Brianna who was grinning from ear to ear.

    Amelia rubbed her wrist slightly, she bent down and picked the cuff from the floor.

    ¡°it came off¡±

    Brianna nodded slowly to Amelia¡¯s words. ¡°Yes dear, that cuff doesn¡¯t need a key¡±

    Amelia pushed her hair behind her ears, she stared at the cuff then at Brianna.

    ¡°What do you mean mum? it doesn¡¯t need a key?¡±

    ¡°Yes dear, it only gets stronger when you try to pull it apart but unlocks when youe close to each other¡±.

    Liam pulled his ash colored polo in frustration, that was really unbelievable.

    ¡°So I have to go now, I think your mum is here, see you soon bye¡±

    The call went dead, they remained transfixed on their spot trying to figure out how on earth Brianna was able toe out with these kind of creepy idea.

    ¡°You¡¯ve rubbed yourself all over my mum¡± Liam mumbled slightly irritated.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

    ¡°Another me on me?¡±

    ¡°well yeah!¡± Liam eximed.

    Amelia turned slightly red in anger ¡°I also know how to pin me on people¡±

    ¡°Whenever you turn red like that I get reminded of a meatball¡±

    Amelia gasped at his words ¡°oh really? guess what, whenever I see your face I get reminded of a dying donkey!¡±

 Chapter 83_ My heart beats only for you 1

    Amelia stormed out of the room heading into the bathroom.

    Liam kicked the cuff away in anger, she justpared him to a dying donkey, how mean of her..

    ..

    Cecile scanned the whole living room for the presence of a human being. ¡°Hello is anyone home?¡±

    Brianna wheeled herself out and appeared behind Cecile. ¡°Hi there!¡±

    Cecile was startled and jumped out of fright she held her chest while letting out deep gasps.

    ¡°you scared me there, I¡¯m sure you must be Liam¡¯s mum¡±

    ¡°Yes I am and I must say your daughter really looks a lot like you such a beauty¡±

    Cecile blushed red, she getspliment like this often. ¡°It¡¯s nice to finally see you¡±

    Brianna wiggled her brows teasingly ¡°I have a feeling that we will bond really well¡±

    ..

    .

    Amelia came out of the bathroom drying her hair with a pink towel. She took a nce at Liam who was busy on a call.

    ¡°Make sure you send lots of roses I want to make her smile¡± He said and ended the call.

    Amelia folded her arm in jealousy, so Liam really doesn¡¯t have any feelings for her.

    ¡°He wants to send flowers to ady, I hope the thorns doesn¡¯t prick her finger!¡± She threw the towel angrily at him taking her luggage out of the room.

    The corner of his lips pulled up into a roguish grin, her anger was just too cute.

    Amelia opened the door to one of the rooms in the house, she threw her luggage harshly on the ground which slid till it hit a drawer.

    ¡°He doesn¡¯t care about my feelings, he is nning to send stupid flowers for anotherdy, I¡¯m sure it must be Allison! when next I see her I will make sure I pluck her two eyes out!¡±

    Her stomach grumbled slightly she hasn¡¯t had anything to eat since today. ¡°Aww my poor tummy is upset¡±

    She left the room and began searching for the kitchen. She came across one of the servant who directed her to the kitchen.

    When she got there she saw ady giving orders to the cooks.

    Thedy noticed someone was standing behind and turned.

    ¡°Well hello there! I guess you must be Amelia¡±

    Thedy eximed in excitement, she held Amelia¡¯s hands pulling her into a tight embrace.

    Amelia blinked in confusion at the overly jollydy , she could swear that she had never seen her before.

    ¡°Oh my bad! I¡¯m Abby Grayson¡±

    Amelia arched a brow, a Grayson? she ogled suspiciously at thedy. This was supposed to be she and Liam¡¯s private time together.

    ¡°You are a Grayson?¡±

    Abby smacked her lips that was painted red. ¡°Yup! I¡¯m Liam¡¯s older cousin¡±

    ¡°Cousin? I thought old Grayson had only two children¡±This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    Abby¡¯s mouth formed an ¡®o¡¯ shape, she tapped her chin for a while. ¡°You are quite smart! I¡¯m Martha¡¯s adopted daughter I¡¯m sure you know her¡±

    ¡°Yeah she is uncle mark¡¯s sister¡± Amelia said and sighed in relief, for a moment there she thought that Abby was anotherdy who was obsessed with Liam.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry If I¡¯m intruding your privacy but I promise it¡¯s just for one night, the thing Is I ran away from home my mum set up a blind date for me and you know how girls hates blind dates I hope you understand?¡±

    Amelia nodded in understanding and was led away by Abby.

    They went out through the back door and found themselves in the garden.

    Amelia inhaled the soft scent of flowers, Abby pulled Amelia to seat on a bench next to her. ¡°Nice view isn¡¯t it?¡±

    ¡°yeah it is¡± Amelia tried to force a smile but Abby could see the pain behind that false smile.

    ¡°You can consider me a friend to share all your problems with¡±

    Amelia casted a look of surprise at her, was her heartache really visible?

    ¡°Umm I¡¯m okay there¡¯s nothing to worry about¡±

    Abby let out a smile, Amelia couldn¡¯t help but notice the cute dimples on her face.

    ¡°I can see the pain behind that smile of yours, I told you earlier that I ran away from home because of a blind date, I love someone but I¡¯m not sure he likes me too all I can tell you is that I¡¯m almost in the same situation as you are in¡±

    Amelia sighed fixating her gaze at the plush white Lillies in the garden, they were so pure and innocent she somehow wished she was like them.

    ¡°Sometimes people who we truly love might seem near to us but they are really far away from our reach but I will encourage you to keep on trying to win the heart of the person you truly love¡± Amelia adviced.

    ¡°And what about you?¡± Abby inquired. ¡°Will you give up on Liam?¡±

    Amelia got up from her sitting position with folded arms. ¡°No matter what you do you won¡¯t be able to satisfy his big ego¡±

    Abby chuckled, she stood up and held Amelia¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Trust me I know that infact I¡¯ve witnessed it many times and guess what? I¡¯m here to help¡±

    ¡°All the members of the Grayson¡¯s are all proud and arrogant but you are the only nice one I¡¯ve met so far¡±

    Abby threw her hair resting on her shoulder to her back in a dramatic pose. ¡°What can I say? I¡¯m awesome!¡±

    They both let out a heartyughter..

    ..

    Abby gave handed Amelia a blue box with a white ribbon on top of it. ¡°Amelia this here is a dress wear it at sunset, I¡¯ve invited a guy over don¡¯t worry he is my friend¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to dress for another guy!¡±

    Abby massaged her forehead slightly, ¡°The thing we are trying to achieve is to make Liam jealous that he instantly blurts out his feelings for you¡±

    Amelia nced skeptically at Abby, she was here for her honeymoon with Liam how would she be with another guy?

    Her thoughts wandered off to Liam¡¯s phonecall today where he was ordering for a rose to be sent to ady.

    ¡°I will do it! if he can send roses to otherdies then I can receive roses from other men as well¡±

    Abby watched Amelia return to her room mming the door a little more than normal. She squealed excitedly. ¡°I should be a love guru¡± She concluded.

    Amelia nced at the clock, it was already past six in the evening she picked up the box and tore it open. ¡°I just hope everything goes as nned, I haven¡¯t even seen Liam since then¡±

    There was a knock on the door and before she could respond the door opened and Abby¡¯s head popped in. ¡°You are not ready yet?¡±

    ¡°I will be dressed soon just give me few more minutes¡± Amelia pleaded.

 Chapter 84_ My heart beats only for you 2

    Abby gasped as soon as Amelia stepped out of the room, she dropped the magazine she was reading and opened her mouth in awe.

    ¡°You look breathtaking! I can¡¯t describe it¡± Abby screamed excitedly.

    Amelia grinned in affirmation, this was what she was born for. ¡°I¡¯m ready!¡±

    ..

    .

    Abby pulled out her phone hissing in anger ¡°Amelia he is in the garden go and meet him and in the meantime I will look for Liam¡±

    Amelia took a deep breath in, her thoughts were in conflicts. ¡°What if¡­..¡±

    she arched her brow ¡°I¡¯m Amelia Grayson and I¡¯m not scared of anyone so Liam you better get ready for me¡±.

    Amelia went into the garden which was a bit dark, suddenly the lights lit up followed by a slow tuneing from a piano not too far away from her.

    She took notice of the surroundings which was decorated.

    The scene was like something out of a fairy tale. In the background, the moon was shining brightly in the sky, casting a soft, romantic light over the scene.

    There were dozens of balloons, in all different colors, floating in the air. The balloons were decorated with ribbons and bows, and they added a whimsical, magical touch to the scene.

    The roses were in full bloom, their petals glistened in the moonlight. Their fragrance filled the air, adding to the romantic ambiance.

    As she look around, she noticed that there were strings of twinkling lights hanging from the trees, creating a magical atmosphere.

    The warm glow of the lights mingled with the cool glow of the moon, and it felt like she was in a dream. Amelia felt a soft breeze brush through her face, carrying the scent of roses and freshly cut grass.

    She looked around in confusion ¡°what is going on?¡± she mumbled beneath her breathe.

    She took a step closer she noticed ady was ying the piano. Thedy turned to her and smiled. ¡°Abby?¡±

    Amelia awed at the sight before her, she clutched her purse tightly. ¡°I hope she didn¡¯t do all this just to make Liam jealous¡±This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    She heard footstep approaching her, her jaw dropped as soon as Liam stepped into the beautiful scene with a smile which further added to the beauty of the whole scenery.

    To Liam time seemed to freeze for him to admire her. She wearing a stunning red dress. The dress was made of a luxurious, silky fabric that draped elegantly over her body.

    It was a form-fitting dress, with a low-cut neckline and a slit up the side. The dress entuated her curves, and it sparkled with tiny sequins that catch the light.

    Her hair was styled in loose waves, and she was wearing a simple gold jewelry.

    Overall, she looked sophisticated, morous, and effortlessly beautiful.

    Liam smiled as she walked towards him with a confident, elegant stride.

    She was wearing a pair of ssic, ck high heels that clicked softly on the stone path beneath her feet.

    As she walked, her posture was straight but she doesn¡¯t seem stiff or ufortable.

    There was a natural fluidity to her movements, as if she was walking in perfect harmony with the world around her.

    She didn¡¯t rush or hurry, but rather took her time, savoring each moment. It was as if she was aware of the beauty of the world, and she was taking it all in.

    When she got nearer to him, her heart skipped a beat. He was putting on a ssic ck tuxedo, with a crisp white shirt and a ck bow tie. His shoes were shiny ck dress shoes, and he was wearing a boutonniere on hispel.

    ¡°You are looking beautiful tonight¡± Liamplimented to see her blush beet red.

    ¡°You are not bad either, but first what is all of these?¡±

    ¡°What does it look like to you?¡±

    Liam took her hand and raised it up to his lips, he nted a small kiss at the back of her hand. He returned his gaze to her face.

    ¡°I never believed that you could change me so much, I feel more human now Since the moment we met, I¡¯ve known that you were someone truly special, the firstdy to ever stand against me . I feel like I can be my true self around you, and I know that I can always count on you to be there for me when the need arises. You bring out the best in me, and I feel so lucky to have you in my life. I just want you to know how much I appreciate and cherish you, every single day.¡±

    Amelia¡¯s heart mmed against her chest, it still felt like a dream to her. She still anticipated to hear him say those three words to her.

    ¡°Amelia, I love you! my heart only beats for you and no one else¡±

    ¡°I love you more Mr Arrogant¡± She threw herself into his embrace.

    Abby smiled the lovely scene in front of her reminded her harshly of her single life. ¡°Gosh i need a romantic boyfriend just like Liam¡±

    Liam pulled off from her, he wanted to see her pretty face that was already stained with tears. He pulled her face up with his index finger.

    ¡°You look ugly when you cry, please don¡¯t cry anymore¡±

    He inched his face closer to hers and sealed her lips with his. They poured out their emotions and feelings in the brief kiss which they shared.

    Liam moved back a little, he stretched forth his hand with a small bow. ¡°Can I have a dance with you mdy?¡±

    Amelia pinched herself to see if she was in some sought of dream. She smiled cing her hand on his palm.

    Liam pulled her in for a dance, they danced to the rhythm of the slow tuneing from the piano.

    ¡°Liam I wasn¡¯t expecting this kind of surprise from you¡±

    Liam twirled her around ¡°Why? I also have a heart!¡±

    Amelia lowered her gaze biting her lower lips, her mind drifted to two days back where she had said her feelings to him.

    She held his arm a little bit tight giving it a squeeze. ¡°So Mr Arrogant you loved me all these while and you kept quiet about it that night! don¡¯t you think that I should punish you for making me look like a fool?¡±

    ¡°It was never my intention to do that, you are special to me and I wanted you to feel my genuine love and sincerity¡±

    ¡°That exins it all¡± Amelia mumbled

    ¡°so tell me how do you like my surprise?¡±

    ¡°I wasn¡¯t expecting it, and Abby she is such a good actress¡±

    Liam took her hand leading her to the table set for two, he pulled out a chair for her to seat before taking a seat before her.

    ¡°See? I learned a lot from you already, now I pulled out a seat for you remember when you taunted me at the restaurant for not doing so?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I remembered you were such a jerk then¡±

    Liam smiled taking out the champagne which sat in the bucket of ice.

    He popped it open and filled their sses, Amelia raised her ss so as Liam. ¡°I somehow wished James was here to give us a toast but I still got this, to our new lives ahead and our blooming love¡±

    They both clicked their sses with an ear to ear grin.

    ¡°Liam is this our happy ending?¡±

 Chapter 85_ The calm before the storm

    Angie stood up when she saw Nichs walk into the house. ¡°Nick, how did it go?¡±

    Nichs casted his mum a look which showed how angry he was. ¡°It went bad! taking Jane out of that asylum was just a huge waste¡±

    ¡°Tell me son what happened?¡±

    ¡°Liam and Amelia are not in the city they travelled out for their honeymoon this morning and Jane will have to leave tomorrow!¡±

    Angie sighed in frustration, she knew how angry her precious son must be since he has a thing for that actress.

    ¡°What do you expect? they are married so it¡¯s natural for them to go on vacations and honeymoon forget that dear¡±

    ¡°How can I forget this mum? I spent a lot just to get Jane out of there and now Liam and Amelia are gone!¡±

    Angie looked around to ensure mark wasn¡¯t lurking around, she also had an immense hatred for Liam and his wife but seeing her son this way made her blood boil.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

    ¡°prince, please try as hard as possible to get that girl out of your mind, she is bad news!¡±

    Nichs threw down his mum¡¯s hands that were resting on his shoulder. ¡°Stop it mum! there¡¯s absolutely no way that I can erase her from my mind¡±

    ¡°Well you have to try! can you see your state? you look miserable and Liam will definitely end your life if you try as much as to look in her direction¡±

    Nichs raised his head to make eye contact with his mum. ¡°All those years ago when you snatched dad from aunt Brianna weren¡¯t they married? did your parents not try to stop you? and what did you do? you drugged dad and made him sleep with you!¡±

    ¡°Nick!¡± Angie called out and threw a p at his face.

    ¡°You are pointing a finger at me?¡± she pulled his ear. ¡°Did I do a mistake by giving birth to you? you are questioning my character how foolish of you¡±

    ¡°If you are not pure hearted don¡¯t try to teach me what is right or what is wrong¡±

    Nichs stormed out leaving Angie to herself, she let out little pants. ¡°My own son questioned my character today, I have done everything for him and this is how he could repay me¡± She sobbed quietly.

    Louisa heard a knock on the door, she knew it must be Dn. ¡°I¡¯ll be there¡±

    She stood up and went to the door, when she saw the familiar silhouette standing in front of her, her face fell.

    ¡°Jake¡± she whispered softly.

    Jake¡¯s eyes narrowed down to her dress which was too much for a movie date.

    ¡°Were you expecting someone else other than me?¡±

    ¡°Well I ¡­.

    Jake raised his hand to stop her from exining herself. ¡°It¡¯s okay Lou I was only joking, I don¡¯t mind that you took your time to get ready for me¡±

    Louisa forced a smile, Dn would arrive any minute from now. how was she going to fix this mess?

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you see my text?¡± Louisa asked to see him shrug.

    ¡°I saw it but I chose to ignore it, wait! do you have other ns for tonight?¡±

    ¡°Yes she does¡±

    Jake and Louisa turned to Dn who just arrived, he took slow steps towards Louisa.

    ¡°You look really pretty¡± Dnplimented, Jake¡¯s brows creased in fury, not this guy again.

    Louisa blew air on her forehead, she could already predict the scene these two makes whenever they meet.

    Jake suddenly burst out intoughter shocking Louisa and Dn.

    ¡°Louisa did you seriously cancel our date again because of him?¡±

    ¡°Jake it¡¯s nothing like that¡±

    Jake raised a brow at her ¡°Then exin this madness to me!¡±

    ¡°As you can see she is dressed up to go out with me what other exnation do you need?¡±

    Dn said adding more fuel to Jake¡¯s anger, Louisa sighed inwardly.

    ¡°Stay out of this! I¡¯m talking to my girlfriend¡±

    Jake barked angrily at Dn, he doesn¡¯t get why this yboy is busy chasing after Louisa.

    ¡°She is still your girlfriend not your wife stop acting like an obsessed husband¡±

    Jake caught Dn¡¯s cor, pushing him backwards.

    ¡°Do you think you can teach me how to talk to her, there are plenty other girls in the city why don¡¯t you go after them? why must it be her?¡±

    ¡°Jake let him go!¡±

    Dn pulled off Jake¡¯s hand that was gripping his shirt. ¡°Hey! mind how you speak and behave with me , you are taking this too far¡±

    ¡°am I? there are plenty bars and clubs in the city where you can find ady who is willing to offer herself to you¡±

    ¡°Jake I¡¯m sorry that our ns were cancelled maybe some other time¡±

    Jake stared at Louisa in unbelief, she had really changed a lot. ¡°Louisa this isn¡¯t the first time that you are doing this, you keep on making excuses to be with him¡±

    Dn checked his wrist watch and sighed, they barely had few minutes to reach his house¡±.

    ¡°Lou we are runningte¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Jake I will talk to you some other time¡±

    ¡°There won¡¯t be another time¡± Jake uttered bitterly and left..

    ..

    Amelia rested her head on Liam¡¯s bare chest listening carefully to his heartbeat.

    Liam pulled the duvet to cover their body. ¡°Liam I feel worried, my mind is very restless and I don¡¯t know why¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to be worried I¡¯m here with you, all you should be thinking about as of now is how to make our own little family¡±

    A small gasp escaped her lips as she stared at Liam with her face turning red. ¡°Mr arrogant you are unbelievable, you want a baby?¡±

    ¡°I figured out how much you like kids, so why don¡¯t we make our own kids?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not a bad idea though but first you have to break off your alliance with Allison¡±

    Liam released a deep breath, Allison was not a big problem to him at all. ¡°Consider it done¡±

    Amelia smiled tightening her embrace on him, but a part in her heart still felt anxious, it felt like something big wasing her way. Like the calm before the storm.

    Liam¡¯s phone on the bedside table rang for a few seconds before he picked it up. ¡°Make it snappy!¡± he ordered.

    He sat up as soon as heard what happened. ¡°Find her at any cost!¡± he said through gritted teeth.

    ¡°Liam is everything okay?¡±

    ¡°Jane ran away from the asylum¡±

    Amelia¡¯s heart mmed against her ribcage, she knew Jane won¡¯t stay still. she woulde after her.

    Liam saw the uneasiness in Amelia¡¯s eyes ¡°Don¡¯t worry we will find her¡±. Liam assured.

 Chapter 86_ The storm

    Dn pulled over in front of his house, he turned to louisa to see her uneasy face, she has been constantly sighing and folding the hem of her dress.

    He reached out his hand and touched hers to assure her. ¡°Don¡¯t be scared I¡¯m here with you¡±

    He came down from the car and walked to the other side and opened the door for her to step out.

    ¡°Thanks¡±

    They were already walking away from the car when they heard little bangs from the backseat. ¡°I¡¯m still in here¡±

    Dn hurried back to the car and opened the door for Chloe. ¡°Everyone always forgets about me¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry dear¡± Dn apologized helping her out of the car.

    Louisa stared at the building before her, if his family lives in such a big house then what was he doing alone? wealthy peoplevish money when it¡¯s really not necessary.

    Dn nudged her to move forward , he took Chloe¡¯s hand in his. ¡°Lou please don¡¯t get nervous only you can save me from this¡±

    She took in a deep breath and nodded her head, her heart was beating in a weird motion that she couldn¡¯t exin. She tried to brush off the uneasiness she was feeling by letting out several deep breath.

    In arge furnished living room with antiques of high quality and designs a middle aged man and a woman were dancing to a slow beat.

    The moment the door opened, they stopped dancing andposed themselves.

    The woman¡¯s eyes widened when she saw ady and a little girl walking into the living room with her son.

    ¡°Jerry I¡¯ve danced so much that I¡¯m seeing things now¡± She ced the back of her palm on her forehead and passed out dramatically on her husband¡¯s arm.

    ¡°Son! you are here and that too with ady¡± Jerry, Dn¡¯s dad said in unbelief.

    Jenna opened one of her eyes to see if thedy and the child were still present in the room and when she saw them still standing there she stood back on her feet.

    ¡°Honey are you also seeing what I¡¯m seeing?¡± she cried out pounding Jerry¡¯s chest slowly.

    Jerry cleared his throat ¡°Let¡¯s act normal for a while, or else she might leave with her child¡± he whispered.

    Jenna face turned serious like that of strict nobledy, she walked towards them in graceful and proud steps.

    ¡°Hello mum¡± Dn embraced her warmly, he just hoped that they do nothing to embarrass him in front of Louisia.

    Louisa lowered her gaze to avoid jenna¡¯s piercing gaze, she cursed Dn mentally for putting her in this situation.

    ¡°Hello¡± she said nervously while gulping hard, but to her surprise Jenna pulled her into a tight embrace leaving her a little or no air to breath.

    ¡°Hush now call me mum, you¡¯ve lifted off a huge burden off my shoulders, I thought my son was going to die as a bachelor, this is the first time he has brought ady back home I¡¯m so happy¡±

    Dn intervened and separated his mum from Louisa before she suffocates to death but jenna¡¯s hair pins got tangled with Louisa¡¯s hair.

    ¡°Ouch!¡± Louisa screamed hard while trying to detach her hair from Jenna¡¯s hair pins.

    ¡°Wait! you will hurt yourself¡±

    Jerry pulled off the pin from his wife¡¯s hair to release Louisa from the pain that she was feeling.

    ¡°Were you trying to behead our daughter inw? you should be ashamed of yourself¡± Jerry scolded.

    Louisa was about to object but felt Dn¡¯s hands on her shoulder. ¡°Ignore them they are jokers¡±

    Twodies stepped into the living room and were also surprised. ¡°Look who finally decided to show up¡± a slenderdy said walking towards Dn when she was just near him she pulled his nose hard.

    Olivia turned to thedy beside her brother and held her face. ¡°Oh my gosh she is so pretty bro, wait! did you force her toe here?¡±

    Dn massaged his nose gently, he was already turning red from embarrassment from his family¡¯s constant circus show.

    ¡°I¡¯m Olivia Dn¡¯s sister¡± she turned to Chloe who was hiding behind Louisa. She gasped in shock as she stared back and forth between her brother and Chloe. ¡°Bro how could you? I knew this was bound to happen when you keep ying around with different girls¡±

    Louisa waved her hands in denial, this was already going too far. They all thing Chloe is she and Dn¡¯s child and that they were seeing each other.

    ¡°And oh I almost forgot, this is my best friend Luciana¡± Olivia happily announced.

    Luciana brought forth her hand for a friendly shake with a smile. Louisa took her friendly gesture but gasped softly as soon as Luciana¡¯s grip tightened. ¡°Hi I¡¯m Louisa¡±

    ¡°Luciana¡± she said with a smile and released Louisa¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Alright everyone let¡¯s have dinner, I¡¯m just so happy Dn has made me extremely proud of him¡± Jenna said with a broad smile on her lips..

    ..

    Nichs mmed the door shut to stop Jane from leaving the hotel room. ¡°What were you trying to do? we are in a huge mess and you want to leave¡±

    Jane pushed him to sit on the sofa inside the suite, she was done listening to Nichs and his mum they were only using her for their personal gain. ¡°We? did you remember that we were a team when your brother and his wife locked me up in that asylum? No you didn¡¯t! instead you and your mum were jubting my riddance and now that you both have a motive you suddenly remembered me¡±

    Nichs got up from the sofa, he grabbed her neck pushing her backwards till her back hit the wall. ¡°I don¡¯t care about all that we both made a deal and until that task is aplished I¡¯m not going to let you leave¡±Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    Jane gasped for air as soon as Nichs released his grip on her neck.

    ¡°I will make you and your mum suffer alongside with Liam and Amelia, you¡¯ve made me an enemy and my enemies can never be happy as long as Jane lives¡±

    Nichs threw a p to her face, he grabbed her chin squeezing it tightly. ¡°Now listen carefully to me, Liam¡¯s men are roaming all over the city looking for you and if they get you, you can imagine the rest so it¡¯s left for you to decide!¡±

    Jane wriggled his hands off her face, she wasn¡¯t scared of Liam and his wife what makes him think that she will be scared of his guards.

    ¡°I have made up my mind and that¡¯s final! I don¡¯t want to work for you and your mum anymore, what will I gain from you both? nothing! you guys don¡¯t even worth a penny anymore, I heard that Liam has kept everyone of you in your right ce¡± she mocked.

    ¡°Hey!¡±

    Jane raised her hands to keep him mute ¡°Please don¡¯t shout!¡± she snapped at him.

    ¡°Poor little nick! you and your mum don¡¯t know that I¡¯m the storm who was born to destroy your entire family, and my dearest friend Amy I¡¯m sure she must be feeling restless wherever she is right now¡±

 Chapter 87_ A shiny gift

    Amelia pulled off the duvet from her body she had been waiting for sometime for Liam to return back to the room but it seemed Jane¡¯s disappearance was quite difficult to handle.

    She came down from the bed and went around to search for him. She gave up the search and returned back to the room.

    Her phone on the bedside table rang out, she took a nce at the unknown number and frowned. ¡°Who could this be?¡±

    She swiped the answer button and remained quiet. The other end was also quiet, Amelia rose up back to her feet and walked towards therge window.

    ¡°Hello who am I unto?¡±

    A loudughter resonated from the other end of the phone.

    ¡°Jane!¡±

    ¡°Wow! not bad, you still know what myughter sounds like¡±

    ¡°Where are you? and how did you escape the asylum? answer me!¡± Amelia barked angrily at the other end.

    ¡°Oh be quiet! do you think I will give my location to you? well yeah eventually, but that will be as soon as I wipe you and your husband off the face of the earth!¡±

    Amelia paced around gnashing her teeth in anger, if this maniac was let loose she will create a lot of mess.

    ¡°By now I thought you would have given up, aren¡¯t you tired of loosing to me every now and then? I was such a fool to be lenient on you by sending you to an asylum, I should havee up with a more harsher punishment for you¡±

    Jane clicked her tongue, she could feel the restlessness that was starting to rise in Amelia¡¯s tone.

    ¡°Come on bestie there¡¯s no need to regret now the deed has been done, now all you need to do is to wait for my first attack, I can promise you that you won¡¯t see iting, enjoy your honeymoon dear¡± Jane said mockingly and ended the call.

    Amelia¡¯s heart skipped a beat, she has been a victim to one of Jane¡¯s vicious schemes in the past and she wasn¡¯t ready to go through all that again..

    ..

    Fred opened the door to Allison¡¯s ward, for days now she has been crying her eyes out and refused anyone that tried toe into the ward.

    When he entered the room his eyes fell upon her sleeping face. He sighed and sat down beside her on the bed.

    He took her hand that was neatly wrapped with a white neat bandage. ¡°Ally¡±

    He called out softly and began stroking her hair lovingly. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you that I will take care of everything? I promised to make Liam your life partner don¡¯t you trust me anymore?¡±

    Allison¡¯s eyes snapped open, she sat up from the bed pulling Fred¡¯s hands off her head.

    ¡°What are you doing here? didn¡¯t I ask you not toe here?¡±

    ¡°Ally don¡¯t be harsh on yourself, I told you countless times that I will make Liam all yours but yet¡­

    Mrs Williams shut the door a little louder than normal. ¡°And we are back at this again! stop giving her false hope, don¡¯t you two get it? once Liam Grayson says no not even his grandfather has a word against him, move on with your life he is married already¡±This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

    Allison threw her face to the other side avoiding her mum¡¯s gaze. ¡°And as always you fail to understand your own daughter¡¯s feelings, are you really my mum?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t try to disrespect me or else I will hit you so hard that you won¡¯t be able to move out of this hospital bed for a long time¡±

    She faced Fred ¡°And you? is this the way to encourage her wrong doings? I¡¯m waiting for that day to meet that actress one on one and thank her for teaching my two brainless children some manners¡±

    ¡°Mum that is enough for now! sometimes I feel as if you have a huge problem with us the least you could do is to support us¡± Fred cautioned only to receive a tight p from his mum.

    ¡°Your father might be able to tolerate your tantrums but I can¡¯t!, I hope this teaches you not to ever mess with the Grayson¡¯s¡±

    She yelled at them before leaving the ward, she might go nuts some day trying to reason with her children.

    Fred turned to Allison and was about to speak ¡°You can leave now I want to stay alone¡±

    Liam came out of the room in search for Amelia, he dropped the small gift box on the dining table and peeped into the kitchen.

    She was panting slightly while kneading a dough, he muffled augh when he saw flour on her face and hair.

    He sneaked into the kitchen and hugged her from behind. ¡°I can see you are upset with me but why are you venting your anger on the dough?¡±

    Amelia ignored his question and continued with her cooking, of course she was mad at him he went outst night without telling her anything.

    ¡°Amelia please don¡¯t be angry¡± he pleaded resting his head on her shoulder.

    ¡°So you noticed that I was upset? well you don¡¯t have to tell me how sorry you are, I took my time to make this breakfast for you darling¡±

    ¡°When you say things like that I can¡¯t help but feel worried because I know something ising for me so that¡¯s why I bought you something that you would really love¡±

    He lifted her up in bridal style and went out of the kitchen. ¡°Put me down Liam, no matter what you try to do I won¡¯t forgive you so easily! hmph!¡±

    Liam smiled and made her sit on the dining table, he took the gift box and brought it to her face, Amelia narrowed her eyes at him. ¡°Are you trying to bribe me? well I won¡¯t fall for it!¡±

    Liam shrugged and handed her the box which she reluctantly epted. she opened the small box and gasped.

    Inside the velvet box nestled on a bed of ck silk, was a delicate silver chain.

    She took it out and a single diamond caught the light, and sent a dazzling sparkle across the room.

    ¡°I love it!¡±

    She held the chain up to her neck, and as she was about to fasten the sp Liam took it from her and helped her put it on. ¡°I knew you would love it¡±

    The diamond was cool against her skin, the weight of the chain was light, but the feeling of luxury was heavy.

    ¡°So am I forgiven?¡±

    Amelia tapped her chin for a while ¡°If you keep spoiling me with gifts like this I¡¯m bound to be naughty¡±

    ¡°You have always been naughty¡±

    Amelia chuckled and nted a brief kiss on his lips, she came down from the table with Liam¡¯s support and returned to the kitchen.

    Liam stared at her retreating back and let out a sigh. ¡°I¡¯m sorry but this is the only way to keep you safe¡± he whispered.

    ra stared worriedly at Karl who has been sitting in his study room sincest night. She ced the mug of coffee on the table and touched his hand that was resting on hisps.

    He didn¡¯t react to her touch since he was in a deep thought.

    ¡°Karl¡± she called out his name shaking him slightly, he snapped out of his daze and faced her with a frown. ¡°Is anything wrong? haven¡¯t I warned you not to enter here without my permission¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve been sitting here sincest night and I was wondering if everything was alright¡±

    Karl hissed in annoyance, thisdy just keeps on getting on his nerves. No matter how hard he tried to chase her out of his life she just wouldn¡¯t budge.

    ¡°What could be alright if you are here? don¡¯t you get it? you shouldn¡¯t get yourself attached to me and my affairs¡±

    ra shuddered at his cold tone, her eyes sting as his words resounded in her ears. After all these years together with him he still hasn¡¯t changed his cold attitude towards her.

    She held back the tears that were threatening to fall out and forced a smile. ¡°Have your coffee I will go and make something for you to eat¡±

    She turned to leave, however she was pulled back. ¡°How should I make you understand? you are getting on my nerves, don¡¯t forget you are one of those girls I picked up from a brothel don¡¯t try to act different from them¡±

    ra lowered her gaze, her heart sank that she instantly regretteding here in the first ce. ¡°Karl all these years that we¡¯ve been together you¡¯ve always treated me as you like, you think I¡¯m one of those girls huh?¡±

    He inched his face closer to hers gnashing his teeth in anger. ¡°Yes! you are exactly like those girls and why do you sound hurt after hearing that am I wrong?¡±

    ra shook her head, she winced in pain when his grip around her arm tightened.

    ¡°Now do yourself a favour and get out of here! you should be grateful that I picked you out of that horrible ce¡± He screamed at her pushing her away.

    ra crashed down on a shelf, she turned back to face Karl in shock and disbelief.

    ¡°Is this how you are going to treat me? after what we¡¯ve been through together, you only used my body for your greedy needs and you didn¡¯t care about my feelings or anything!¡±

    Karl turned his face away from her, he didn¡¯t want to hear anything from her his mind and head was already in a mess he didn¡¯t want to listen to his heart at least not right now¡±

    ra stood up with the support of the shelf which she crashed into. ¡°I will go¡­.. I will go very far¡­ far away from you and everyone else, you were right, you did me a huge favor by taking me out of that brothel but now you won¡¯t get to see my face or hear my voice ever again¡±

    ra turned her back against him and walked away letting the tears flow out of her eyes like endless stream.

    Karl threw down the mug of coffee in anger, he was alone, no one to confide in, no one to share his problems with. He drove away the only person who stood by him all these years..

    Cecile and Brianna woke up from their slumber in the living room after they had ady¡¯s night only by watching one of Amelia¡¯s movies.

    Brianna let out a yawn, her eyes darted to their surroundings which was littered with the wrappers of the snacks they atest night.

    ¡°We really messed up the whole ce, the servants will curse us all through as they clean up this mess¡±

    Cecile said drowsily, she stretched her arm and got up dusting off the food particles on her dress. ¡°If the kids finds out about this they will tease us so much¡±

    ¡°Yeah especially Amelia, thatdy has a way of making you shed tears with her teasing¡± Cecile mumbled.

    ¡°I have an idea of what we can do today but first we have to get ready¡±

    Cecile nodded while pushing Brianna¡¯s wheelchair back to her room.

    ¡°I almost forgot to mention this but I saw the currentdy of your family on the streets looking all worn out and wretched¡±

    A loudughter escaped Brianna¡¯s lips, this was what she has been waiting for to hear for quite some time now.

    ¡°Serves her right! she snatched away my family that¡¯s just the reward for her selfishness¡±

    ¡°Yeah I don¡¯t like her much either, but don¡¯t you think that your husband needs to find out the truth about you?¡±

    Brianna released a sigh, she doesn¡¯t want to think about mark anymore, the truth was that he didn¡¯t care about her for once.

    ¡°He doesn¡¯t care about me or my son, so why should he know anything about my existence?¡±

    Cecile stopped pushing the wheelchair and walked around to face Brianna whose eyes were already red from crying.

    ¡°Let it all out, we both have simr marital issues, my husband was never faithful and he never loved me, but your husband? I have seen love and respect in his eyes for you¡±

    Brianna drew a deep breath in, she already digested the fact that mark loves Angie and her children and there is no way she was going to believe what anyone tells her.

    ¡°Please don¡¯t ruin this beautiful morning for us I already have ces in my mind to visit today¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no way I¡¯m going to let that happen you are not allowed to leave the house no matter what that was Liam¡¯s strict order¡±

    Brianna scoffed out loud ¡°If you are thinking about my identity being exposed you have nothing to worry about after all I¡¯m a master nner¡± She added with a wink.

    Cecile gasped ¡°You are quite mischievous, you sound just like my daughter¡±

    ..

    Mark peeped into the room to see his father, wife and son so deeply engrossed in a conversation, he became restless, he got a feeling that they were plotting something bad again against Liam, his poor son has gone through enough already but they were not satisfied yet.

    Angie raised her finger to stop Nichs from speaking after she saw someone¡¯s shadow next to the door.

    She ced her finger on her lips ¡°I think it¡¯s mark¡± she whispered to them and stood up from her seat.

    She walked in feather step to the door and pulled it open but to her surprise no one was there, she looked around the small living room but found no one.

    Nichs touched her shoulder lightly ¡°Mum forget it, no one is here dad went out earlier today¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not blind I saw someone¡¯s shadow¡±

    Nichs looked around and found no trace of anyone except them. ¡°It could be anything¡¯s shadow¡±

    Angie nodded her head but deep down she knew that mark was here she prayed and hoped silently that he didn¡¯t hear anything.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

    Amelia walked into the room and spotted Liam busy on hisptop.

    She folded her arm breathing heavily while feigning anger.

    ¡°If you knew that you would be busy on yourptop everyday why on earth did you agree toe here with me?¡±

    Liam raised his head from hisptop to meet her angry face.

 Chapter 89_ Anything for you

    Liam stared at her for a brief second and returned back to his work.

    ¡°Whenever you are angry like that I assume all is well but when you smile I know there is danger lurking around¡±

    Amelia walked towards him and snatched hisptop. ¡°Oh thanks for noticing¡± she replied sarcastically.

    ¡°Hand it over I will be done in less than two minutes¡±

    Amelia ced theptop back beside him ¡°Why not spend the rest of your life with it! I feel like you came for our honeymoon because of yourptop and not for me¡±

    Liam stared confusedly at her, what has he done this time?

    ¡°Did I do anything wrong?¡±

    Amelia waved her hand in denial ¡°No you didn¡¯t do anything wrong, you are a pure soul that cares so much about hisptop than his wife let me give you a quick suggestion, why don¡¯t you walk down the aisle with it¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to be jealous it¡¯s a non living thing¡±

    ¡°You are putting all your time on your work and what about me? I get toe second as always¡±

    Liam bursted out inughter, his wife was just too much.

    ¡°Amelia you are cracking me up¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not as funny as you think it is, I¡¯m quite pissed off and you areughing to your heart¡¯s content¡±

    Liam shut down theptop and stood up, he pulled her into a tight embrace. ¡°I find you cute whenever you try to act annoyed¡±

    Amelia pulled away from him and threw her face to the other side.

    ¡°it will take you a lot before my anger can subside¡±

    ¡°Anything for you¡± Liam replied almost immediately.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes widened in surprise, there was a broad smile on her face which made Liam have second thoughts.

    ¡°Please go easy on me¡± Liam pleaded.

    ¡°I¡¯m not going to hurt you, I will hurt myself but forget all that let¡¯s take a walk to the town nearby I want to explore that beautiful ce¡±

    Liam creased his brows in worry, now that Jane was free he had a strange feeling that she might try to attack Amelia.

    ¡°Of course why not?¡±

    Amelia squealed in excitement as she dashed to her wardrobe to look for something perfect to wear.

    ¡°I will be downstairs¡± He said nting a kiss on her cheek before heading out.

    He summoned all his guards present in the building, he didn¡¯t want to take chances when ites to his wife.

    They all lowered their heads to avoid staring at his piercing grey orbs.

    ¡°We are heading to the small town nearby and as you all know Jane is still on the loose so I want you all to blend in with the ordinary civilians but you must be on alert, I know my instruction is clear enough!¡±

    ¡°Yes boss!¡± The replied in unison and dispersed as soon as Liam dismissed them.

    Few momentster, he heard her hurried footsteps descending down the stairs.

    Amelia stood in front of him twirling herself with a broad smile. ¡°Be honest how do I look?¡±

    Liam took a step backwards to examine her properly.

    She was putting on a navy blue turtle neck top with long sleeves on a ck pair of rugged jeans.

    ¡°At least it¡¯s not exposing any main parts¡± he mumbled which didn¡¯t miss Amelia¡¯s antenna like ears.

    She gasped in shock ¡°Mr Arrogant! it¡¯s not like you are Mr universe¡±

    ¡°You got it all wrong I meant that you look beautiful as always¡±

    Amelia¡¯s cheeks flushed at thepliments ¡°Always? so you mean you always knew I was beautiful all these months and you didn¡¯t bother topliment me¡± She joked wiggling her eyebrows.

    Liam pulled her nose a bit ¡°You don¡¯t need to put much effort when dressing up or applying whatever girls use on their faces, you look beautiful just the way you are¡±

    Amelia raised a brow, who knew that one day a boring workaholic man like Liam would make her blush with his cheesiness?

    ¡°Don¡¯t make me blush so much, I don¡¯t want to forget that I¡¯m still mad at you¡±

    Liam blinked in confusion, sometimesdies were a bit difficult to understand..

    ..

    Cecile wheeled Brianna on the streets, Brianna¡¯s face was all smiles it¡¯s been so long since she stepped out.

    She was putting on arge beach hat and a dark spectacles to avoid being recognized by anyone.

    ¡°Liam will be so upset once he finds out about this¡± Cecileined.

    ¡°He is my son and I know how to handle him, he can never be angry at me for a minute¡±

    ¡°Lucky you! my daughter can be angry at me for months and still eat my meals such a weird girl¡±Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    Meanwhile mark was in a hurry walking in the same direction towards the women who were chatting away happily.

    He was on his way to see Liam to warn him of the horrible things his family were nning against him.

    He was lost in his own thoughts that he failed to see thediesing his way, Brianna¡¯s wheelchair grazed his foot slightly.

    Mark groaned in pain slightly as he examined his foot.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry I¡­¡±

    Cecile swallowed back her words on seeing Liam¡¯s father. ¡°You? I mean Mr Grayson¡±

    Mark forced a smile, he doesn¡¯t know if he should be proud of that name anymore since his family members has managed to tarnish the glory that name used to uphold.

    ¡°Hello¡± mark greeted her, his eyes went to the woman sitting on the wheelchair and was a bit curious.

    Brianna¡¯s heart mmed on hearing his familiar voice, she raised her head a little to have a glimpse at him, Cecile saw what she was trying to do and slightly tapped her hat.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry I didn¡¯t see you there, my sister and I were so lost in our conversation¡±

    ¡°Oh, where is Liam and your daughter?¡±

    ¡°They are not in the city¡±

    Cecile saw the look of disappointment cross his face and sighed.

    Brianna sniffed back her tears multiple times, a white neat handkerchief was ced before her. ¡°Here use this, there¡¯s a flu spreading around maybe you need to see a doctor¡±

    Brianna epted it and wiped her face with it, she smelt his familiar cologne and was about to turn to him.

    ¡°We will be on our way now¡± Cecile said and without waiting for a reply she pushed Brianna¡¯s wheelchair forward.

    ¡°What were you trying to do? you almost revealed yourself to him¡±

    ¡°I thought he loves his wife so much, so why on earth does he look so unhappy?¡±

    ¡°Maybe he still hasn¡¯t moved on yet¡± Cecile concluded

    ..

    .

    Anthony stared out of his car, he fixated his gaze at one particr woman who was pushing anotherdy on a wheelchair.

    ¡°Long time no see Cecile¡± he mumbled silently.

    He raised his phone to his ear still staring at her ¡°Cecile is in this city so I¡¯m sure that my daughter is also here search for her at any cost!¡± he ordered.

    ¡°She has stayed with her mother for so long now it¡¯s time for her toe to her father¡±¡­..

 Chapter 90_ Lurking danger 1

    Amelia¡¯s legs arched from walking for quite sometime now. She turned towards Liam who wasn¡¯t paying attention to her little bodynguage.

    ¡°Did I do something wrong again?¡±

    ¡°My feet are arching from walking why don¡¯t you do something¡±

    Liam released a sigh, earlier he had suggested that they explore the town with their car but she tantly refused saying she wants to feel the nature and here she wasining.

    Liam squat in front of her and urged her to hop on his back. ¡°You can enjoy a free piggy ride from Liam Grayson¡±

    Amelia jumped on his back without wasting any more time. ¡°Can I ask a question?¡±

    Liam rose back to his feet after he made sure she wasfortable.

    ¡°Ask me anything¡±

    ¡°Who taught you how to be so romantic? the Liam Grayson that I knew months back doesn¡¯t even know how topliment ady¡±

    ¡°What can I say? you can find everything on the inte nowadays¡±

    Amelia chuckled at the thoughts of Liam searching the inte on how to please a woman, his face must be really funny then.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need tough, I also saw one of your searches on Google on how to be nice to an arrogant man¡±

    Amelia bit his ear slightly ¡°Mr Arrogant don¡¯t you know that it¡¯s very rude to go through ady¡¯s phone without her permission?¡±

    ¡°If I keep listing the number of times you¡¯ve gone against me without seeking for my permission we. might be awake all night!¡±

    As the couple walked down the cobblestone streets of the town, the sun was setting, casting a warm, golden glow on everything around them.

    They passed by charming shops and cafes, with the smell of freshly baked bread wafting through the air.

    Amelia inhaled the air greedily ¡°Wow Liam let¡¯s try that!¡± she eximed pulling him to the stall to get some bread.

    ¡°Hello¡± she waved at thedy who runs the bread stall.

    ¡°Can we have that¡± Amelia said pointing at the upper shelf where the freshly baked bread were aligned.

    Thedy handed Amelia the bread of her choice, she tore the wrapper munching on the bread, she released a little moan as she savoured the bread.

    ¡°I won¡¯t give you a crumb even if you fall on your kneels¡± Amelia said while Liam shrugged, he simply held her face after she took a bite out of the bread.

    ¡°What¡­

    Liam lowered his face to hers and took a bite out of the bread hanging on her lips. ¡°I don¡¯t ask or beg, I take! you should have known that by now¡±

    The shopkeeper marvelled at the sight before her, she could tell that they were new couples.

    A group of college students who were passing at that time took a quick photo of the two.

    ¡°Learn from him and be a little bit romantic!¡± a blonde girl among them said facing a boy next to her.

    Liam winked at her, she was still puzzled, Liam has been surprising hertely with his cheesiness that she now felt like a novice.

    ¡°You are getting more shameless by the minutes Liam aren¡¯t you worried about our identity being exposed?¡±

    ¡°I would rather be in a scandal with you forever, sooner orter everyone will find out who my real wife is¡±

    Amelia smiled exposing her perfect set of white teeth. Her cheeks might burn before she reaches home today.

    ¡°Do you ept cards?¡± Liam asked the shopkeeper.

    Amelia rolled her eyes but she couldn¡¯t me him though, what on earth does he know other than swiping cards on counters?

    ¡°Liam this isn¡¯t one of those fancy restaurants where you pay with cards, good thing I brought my purse¡±This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    She took out a few bills and handed it over to thedy. ¡°Please keep the change¡±

    ..

    .

    Liam and Amelia walked hand in hand, enjoying the peacefulness of the evening.

    The air was cool and crisp, and they could hear the faint sound of music ying in the distance.

    As they strolled, they felt a sense of contentment and happiness, savoring the simple pleasure of being together.

    Amelia wished this day wouldn¡¯t end, she smiled at Liam who was walking towards her with a cone of ice cream.

    ¡°Wow Liam how did you know my favorite vors? and that too my toppings?¡±

    She asked when he got near to her, Liam tapped his chin as If in deep thought. ¡°I noticed you love the color pink so I applied that sense to your food choices¡±

    Amelia took a lick out of her ice cream ¡°Hmm you are really smart I must confess, and I like you¡±

    As the sun sets, the couple decided to visit a small cafe for a light dinner.

    They sat at a table on the patio, with fairy lights twinkling overhead. They ordered simple, delicious food ¨C a sd, some fresh bread, and a ss of wine.

    As they ate, they talked andughed, enjoying the simple pleasures of life.

    They felt a sense of gratitude for the little moments, and for each other¡¯spany

    As the evening winds down, they took a leisurely walk back to their house, hand in hand. The stars were shining brightly in the sky, and the air was cool and fresh.

    Liam noticed how tired she was after today¡¯s activities, he picked her up in his arms since the walk to their house wasn¡¯t far from them.

    ¡°When next we are going to the town we will use the car, I feel like you¡¯ve put in so much weight¡±

    Amelia smiled and rested her head against his chest. ¡°Thanks for making this day wonderful, I love you¡±

    ¡°I love you too¡±

    Chloe held the tissue box while Louisa took out of it wiping her tears. ¡°You¡¯ve cried enough Lou, I don¡¯t even find him that good looking like Dn¡±

    Louisa raised her head to look at the little girl in front of her. ¡°If you like Dn so much why don¡¯t you let him be your dad or you can as well get married to him¡±

    Chloe ced the box of tissue on the table and pouted her lips. ¡°Maybe you don¡¯t notice but it¡¯s dinner time now I¡¯m starving¡±

    Louisa sniffed back her tears, how could she make this little girl understand that Dn¡¯s parents sees her as their grand child and they¡¯ve nned to get she and Dn married as soon as possible.

    The doorbell rang before it was pushed open, Dn came in panting slightly. ¡°Lou, I¡¯m sorry I couldn¡¯t make it earlier, I had a very tight schedule today at the office plus you weren¡¯t there to assist me¡±

    Louisa stood up immediately she saw him, she held his cor shaking him slightly.

    ¡°Your parents fixed our engagement and you didn¡¯t say anything about it there and it hasn¡¯t even been up to ten hours already your mum posted the news on her Instagram handle as if that was not enough Jake broke up with me because of you!¡±

    Dn¡¯s lips turned into a broad smile as he heard about the break up, he has been waiting for ages for that looser to call it quits with Louisa and now it finally happened.

    ¡°Really?¡±

 Chapter 91_ lurking danger 2

    Louisa¡¯s brows drew together in anger, was it her head messing with her or did Dn just sound so excited?.

    ¡°Why do you sound so happy?¡±

    Dn cleared his throat, he shouldn¡¯t have sounded so excited about the break up at least not in front of her.

    ¡°Why shouldn¡¯t I? now you will be able to put your whole mind and attention on your work¡±

    ¡°Is this some sought of joke? I don¡¯t want to work for you anymore!¡±

    Dn shrugged helping himself to sit on the small sofa. ¡°But you don¡¯t have any other choice dear, I knew something like this might happen that¡¯s the reason I made a two year contract which you signed months ago¡±

    ¡°You tricked me into signing it!¡±

    ¡°Lou Dn is a nice uncle what could go wrong if you marry him?¡±

    Louisa mped Chloe¡¯s mouth with her palm ¡°I rather get married to your brainless brother than to this yboy!¡±

    She faced Dn ¡°see yourself out and please don¡¯te here anymore¡±

    James and Steven had a good timeughing at Dn¡¯s ordeal with Louisa.

    ¡°Okay that¡¯s enough now Steven, Dn needs help with Louisa, but what I don¡¯t understand is how Liam could be better than you¡±

    Dn raised his head from the table, he cursed himself for walking into this bar where he met these nosy fes.

    ¡°Now I see why Liam feels so frustrated with you both around, can¡¯t you see how heartbroken I am?¡±

    James exchanged gazes with Steven, they muffled theirughter. He was heartbroken?

    ¡°Ouch! so sorry man, but I think this is karma, you¡¯ve broken a lot of hearts in the past¡± Steven butted in.

    James was about to speak when he spotted two peopleing into the bar.

    ¡°Looks like luck is on your side Dn, look who we have here¡±

    Dn groaned slightly, his head was banging really hard from all the loud speakers booming with music.

    ¡°who?¡±

    Dn and Steven followed James line of sight, they were surprised to see Jake and a slenderdy with him acting so intimately with each other.

    ¡°That scoundrel has been cheating on Louisa for a while now! I will make him pay!¡± Dn barked

    James held him back from doing anything stupid. ¡°Take it easy! call Louisa over, she needs to stop crying her eyes out because of him¡±

    ¡°She won¡¯t take my call, why does it matter now? as far as he is no longer with her everything is alright¡±

    ..

    .

    On a bright beautiful morning, the golden rays from the sun prated into a room. It fell on Amelia¡¯s sleeping face, her eye lids openedzily.

    She raised her hand to block her eyes from the brightness.

    She groaned in pain, her whole body was aching badly all because of Liam. The door opened and Liam stepped in with a tray which held a bowl with steam pipping out of it.

    ¡°Good thing you are awake I brought you some soup¡±

    Amelia red at him, all because of him she couldn¡¯t move and he was concerned about some soup!

    Liam ced the tray on the bedside table next to her and ran his fingers through her messy hair.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry aboutst night, I can see how tired you are that¡¯s why I asked the maid to prepare this for you, it will replenish your energy¡± he exined innocently.

    She raised the duvet to cover her almost bare body. ¡°How can I ever be angry at you?¡±

    ¡°Well you should be, because when you have enough energy it will be drained again by me¡±

    Amelia gasped and smacked his arm slightly. ¡°Liam you are shameless¡±

    ¡°No I¡¯m not! I just want a little version of you¡±

    Amelia face palmed herself, Liam¡¯s new shamelessness has caused her cheeks to hurt so muchtely.

    ¡°but Liam I signed a contract to be a model for a skincare product, I don¡¯t want to be pregnant then¡±

    Liam¡¯s once smiling face fell ¡°A skincare product?¡±

    He really needed to start paying attention to his entertainment industry, howe he didn¡¯t know about this?This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    ¡°Yeah, don¡¯t you know about it?¡±

    Liam shook his head slowly ¡°I didn¡¯t ept it, there are a lot of models in the industry why must it be you?¡±

    ¡°Liam it¡¯s my career we are talking about here, it¡¯s just for a month and after that we can have kids¡±

    ¡°Is your career more important than creating our own family?¡±

    Amelia took his hand in hers squeezing it slightly. ¡°You don¡¯t understand what I¡¯m trying to say, sure we can have kids but please give me a month to finish my ongoing movie shoot and¡­

    ¡°Forget it, I won¡¯t bring up this topic anymore but in the meantime have this¡±

    He took the tray and ced it in front of him, he took a spoonful of the brown colored soup and blew air into it.

    Amelia sighed, she knew Liam was hurt after hearing her decision.

    ¡°What if it¡¯s a boy? what will you name him?¡±

    Liam heard her suddenly speak, he pulled her cheeks slightly. ¡°Were you messing with me a while ago? but if it¡¯s a boy I think we will call him Aidan¡±

    ¡°Aidan! great name!¡± She remarked as the name rolled on her tongue.

    Angie panted slightly, that witch her son brought into their lives has threatened to implicate them all. ¡°You have to find her or else we are doomed! Liam won¡¯t spare us at all¡±

    Nichs wasn¡¯t paying attention to his mum¡¯s rant and nagging. it¡¯s been four days since Liam left with Amelia for their honeymoon.

    He could only imagine what must be going on between the two.

    ¡°Nick I¡¯m talking to you!¡±

    ¡°What should I do?! we are no longer wealthy what more punishment can Liam give to us? somehow I feel like all these is my fault, I shouldn¡¯t have sent Amelia to Liam¡¯s room that night!¡±

    Angie¡¯s lips parted in disbelief, something huge was heading their way and this fool of a son is busy dreaming about that rude girl.

    ¡°Are you still fantasizing about that actress? it was already enough when you brought Jane out of the asylum and now you are thinking about Liam¡¯s wife, do you want to die twice?¡±

    Old Grayson tapped his finger on the armchair in a slow rhythm.

    ¡°Father won¡¯t you say anything to him?¡±

    ¡°What can I say to you both? you¡¯ve been talking non stop, Jane didn¡¯t run away infact I sent her off to Liam¡¯s location that way we won¡¯t be implicated¡±

    Nichs sat up on the sofa and exchanged gazes with his mum.

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Grandpa that¡¯s much worse if she is caught our names will be dragged out as well¡±

    ¡°Our? speak for yourself¡± Old Grayson said scornfully with a menacing gaze.

 Chapter 92_ You will be blamed for my death!

    Angie and Nichs exchanged brief nces, this conniving old man has created a huge mess and his name won¡¯t even be mentioned..

    .

    Amelia stood in front of the mirror brushing her hair. She could see worry in Liam¡¯s eyes from his reflection.

    ¡°Can¡¯t I talk you out of this?¡±

    Amelia rolled her eyes, her mind was already made up and she wasn¡¯t going to go back on her words.

    ¡°Mr arrogant, you know no matter what you do now I won¡¯t back down, Jane messed with the wrongdy, I will bite back¡±

    Liam released a breath, the fact of her putting her life in danger troubled him greatly. ¡°Don¡¯t let your obsession for winning cost you a lot¡±This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    Amelia lifted a brow, what was he trying to imply? she turned swiftly to him. ¡°I never loose darling, the least you could is to support me, you should know by now how crazy and nut headed your wife is¡± She added with a wink.

    Liam sighed and stood up, he lost! he has never won an argument against her.

    ¡°Please be careful¡± Liam said pulling her into his arms.

    ¡°But there¡¯s no fun in being careful¡± sheined with pouted lips which drew a broad smile on Liam¡¯s face.

    ¡°Crazy girl¡±

    ..

    Liam stared at therge screen in front of him which showed Amelia, she wriggled her fingers at the drone flying around her.

    He tapped the ear pod in his ears, he had to stay connected with her at all cost. ¡°Don¡¯t be scared I¡¯m here¡±

    ¡°You know I¡¯m never scared Liam I¡¯m the bravestdy you can evere across, I hope you know that?¡±

    ¡°When you get back I will make sure to punish you so severely¡±

    Their n was to get a hold of Jane before she causes more trouble, her stay at the asylum has really made her loose her mind for real. Her jealousy was just so inhumane.

    Amelia pulled out her phone taking several selfies and videos of herself, she posted it on her Instagram ount, she knew Jane must be so desperate to find her.

    ¡°And done! now we just have to wait for her to show up¡± she mumbled to herself.

    Jane turned on her phone as soon as it vibrated, she grinned evily. ¡°Wow that was super easy! and guess what bestie I¡¯ming for you¡±

    Now all she had to do was to find out where exactly this was, she zoomed in one of Amelia¡¯s pictures. ¡°This ce is near a cliff, seems like she is alone¡±

    ¡°But her guards? and Mr Grayson?¡± her eyes brightened when she figured out how to get rid of them.

    She hailed down a cab and got in, she needed to reach that location on time before Amelia leaves there..

    ..

    Liam¡¯s eyes narrowed at the screen, he spotted Jane hiding among the rocks in the surroundings. He touched his ear pod ¡°Amelia she is behind you act natural¡±

    Liam rubbed his palm together, he just prayed that everything goes as nned.

    ¡°I hope your men are ready? shoot her dead If the need arises¡± Liam ordered in a firm and authoritative voice.

    Amelia took a step closer to the edge of the cliff, if she steps a bit more closer she knew Jane would take that as an opportunity ande out.

    Jane came out of her hiding ce and walked in feather steps towards Amelia.

    Amelia saw her shadow getting nearer and turned.

    ¡°You!¡± she acted surprised to make it more real.

    Jane smirked spreading her arm ¡°Don¡¯t you miss me bestie? I went through a lot just to be with you now!¡±

    ¡°I have dealt with so many people like you in my life and you don¡¯t stand a chance!¡±

    Jane grabbed Amelia¡¯s arm squeezing it harshly, she brought her hand to Amelia¡¯s face. ¡°Do you see this right here? your husband wrote your name on my hand, but I won¡¯t do that to you, instead I¡¯m about to write my name on your destiny!¡±

    Amelia pt Jane across the face, her jealousy has cost her dearly. She pulled her arm out of Jane¡¯s grip and yanked her hair backwards.

    ¡°you have troubled me enough, you snatched everything away from me but maybe this is my fate thank you for drugging me that night because I got to see you for who you truly are, and I got married into a powerful family like that!¡±

    Jane spotted the drone flying around up in the sky, was this a trap? She walked towards the edge of the cliff. She took a nce at Amelia¡¯s ear and pulled off the ear pod.

    Liam stood up hurriedly and was about to head out. ¡°Darn it!¡± he cursed loudly kicking his seat away in anger.

    ¡°Boss if you intervene now everything will be over she already knows this was a setup our men are all over she won¡¯t be able to get out¡±

    ¡°To hell with Jane! get my wife out of there now!¡± his icy tone shook the tent they were staying in.

    Amelia panicked slightly, Jane was holding tightly to her hands while stepping forward to the edge of the cliff.

    ¡°let me go! what are you trying to do?¡± Amelia screamed.

    ¡°You and your husband were trying to trap me, good thing I brought someone to film this whole drama, you will be med for my death! if I fall off this cliff¡±

    Amelia¡¯s eyes narrowed at Jane, she haspletely gone nuts, all these because of revenge?

    ¡°You want to die? there¡¯s no problem! I will happily push you off!¡±

    Amelia retorted nudging Jane towards the edge, any more step will result her to fall off.

    A look of fear crossed Jane¡¯s face as she looked down at the height. ¡°Amelia let me go! don¡¯t you dare push me!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m Amelia Grayson! no prison cell can hold me for a minute, it appears you¡¯ve forgotten whose wife I am now let me bring you back to your senses¡±

    Amelia drew Jane backwards till her back touched the ground. ¡°You still have a chance to get rid of this jealousy or else you will be in jail for a long time¡±

    Liam arrived at the scene and pulled Amelia away ¡°A.. re you alright?¡± he stuttered checking her body for any possible injury.

    He pulled her into his embrace, he turned towards his guards. ¡°Take her away!¡±

    Amelia sighed in relief, Jane would be taken care of and now she will finally be at rest.

    ¡°You scared me there for a second, who asked you to go so near to the cliff? what if you slipped and fell?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m impossible to get rid of so how can I die so easily?¡± she remarked with a grin.

    ¡°Such a lovely couple, how I wish it was so real? Amy how on earth do you control so many men around you? and when will you tell Liam about you and Nichs affairs?¡± Jane scorned.

    Liam and Amelia exchanged gazes, what was this maddy saying?

    ¡°Don¡¯t act so surprised Liam that¡¯s just the truth and the day you find out, you wille looking for me!¡± sheughed out hysterically as she was led away by several armed men.

    ¡°Liam she¡­.

    Liam ced his finger on her lips ¡°I don¡¯t believe a word she said, she is telling lies, I trust youpletely¡±

    Amelia smiled but deep down she was worried, why would Jane spill such nonsense?

    ..

    .

    Old Grayson smirked, step one of his n has been aplished. He knew Jane would be caught and he had instructed her what exactly to say once she was caught.

    ¡°You¡¯ve done your part, don¡¯t give a fit go with them and you¡¯ll be released as soon as the second phase of my nes into action¡± Old Grayson said over the phone.

    He turned to the mother and son that has been staring at him for some time now.

    ¡°You both are good for nothing, for years now you couldn¡¯t do anything to stop Liam but today with the snap of my fingers his happy days were numbered!¡±

 Chapter 93_ Tantrums

    Cecile stopped on her tracks and turned back, someone has been following her around for some days now, at first she thought it was her head messing with her but now she was sure that she was being followed around.

    She walked into the hospital, she needed to get a particr report about a patient¡¯s health. She entered the doctor¡¯s office ransacking his drawer for it.

    She finally spotted the pink colored report resting on the table. ¡°Hmm this is the one¡±

    She mumbled and inserted it in her bag, the lights suddenly went off, leaving everywhere pitch ck, it immediately dawned on her that she was dressed up like her daughter. Could they be in the hospital?

    ¡°Who is there?¡± she asked to no one in particr

    She saw a shadowing towards her before a middle aged man came into view. His brown eyes flickered in the darkness and the lights came on again.

    Cecile moved back until her back hit the table, her lips quivered in shock and fright. ¡°You?¡±

    Anthony maintained an indifferent face as he stepped closer to her.

    ¡°We meet again!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t¡­e any nearer! I¡¯m¡­ warning you!¡± she stuttered while reaching her hand behind her to see if she could grasp anything.

    He was thest person she wanted to see right now, how on earth did he find her? was he the stalker?

    Anthony lifted a brow and stared at her current appearance. She was dressed up like ady in her early twenties.

    ¡°There is no need to be scared of me Cecile, I mean no harm I¡¯m only here for my daughter that¡¯s all¡±

    Cecile¡¯s hand touched a pen on the desk, she turned the pointy end towards Anthony. ¡°She is not your daughter! she is only my daughter!¡± she yelled at him.

    ¡°Years ago the judge who granted our divorce made clear mention of the fact that Amelia will choose to stay with either of us, but what did you do? you ran off with her!¡±

    Cecile¡¯s breathing became irregr, this man was her worst nightmare, how she prayed never to cross paths with him again. He might brainwash Amelia into leaving her, she knew how much Amelia cherishes her father.

    ¡°She is all grown up and married, you can¡¯t impose those rights on her anymore¡±

    Anthony¡¯s brows drew together in surprise, his Amy was married? but to whom? and when? he returned his gaze back to Cecile.

    ¡°Married?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s all I can say now!¡± she said and hurriedly scurried out.

    Anthony tapped on his phone for sometime before he raised it to his ear. ¡°I need every little details of the guys who has been seen in public with my daughter!¡± he ordered..

    .

    Liam nced back at Amelia¡¯s sleeping face, he was currently on a call with Cecile. ¡°She is sound asleep¡±

    ¡°Her father is searching for her and I don¡¯t want Amelia to meet him¡±

    ¡°I will see to that, have a good night sleep¡± he said and turned around walking towards the bed.

    He snuggled close to her burying his face in the crook of her neck.

    ¡°Was it my mum?¡±

    He heard her speak and was a bit startled, he thought she was fast asleep. ¡°Yeah, she called to check up on us¡±

    ¡°You won¡¯t believe it, I had the craziest dream that my dad came back to take me away!¡±

    Liam raised his head to stare at her face, her eyes were still shut, which meant that she was either talking in her sleep or just pretending to be asleep.

    ¡°Amelia¡± he called out to receive silence in return, he shook his head she was really weird..

    ..

    Chloe pulled off the duvet covering Louisa, she jumped on the bed several times to wake her up but she didn¡¯t even move a muscle. ¡°Lou! wake up!¡±

    Louisa sighed in frustration, this little girl was bing so annoying by the minutes. She ced her pillow against her ears.

    ¡°Lou!¡± Chloe cried out.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    ¡°Go back to sleep Chloe, it¡¯s sote!¡±

    Chloe folded her arm. ¡°Big sis always reads me a bedtime story¡±

    Louisa lifted a brow ¡°So?¡± she had a big problem when it came to wealthy kids. They are the most spoilt set of kids in the world, their demands are also never ending.

    ¡°I can¡¯t go to sleep without listening to one!¡±

    Louisa shrugged and rested her head back on the pillow. ¡°Okay suit yourself! you can as well be a watch guard for me while I sleep!¡±

    Chloe let out a shrill piercing cry, rolling on the bed. Louisa¡¯s lips parted slightly, what is wrong with her?!

    Minutester, Louisa walked hand in hand with Chloe into a mall in their pj¡¯s. Her head was banging hard after listening to her cries.

    ¡°Lou I want that!¡±

    Louisa followed her little finger¡¯s direction and rolled her eyes. her shoulders dropped in frustration.

    She left and returned back with a trolley, she lifted Chloe up and ced her to sit in it.

    ¡°Happy now?¡±

    Chloe nodded her head in excitement, she had always wanted to be pushed around In trolleys whenever she goes to the mall with her mum and sees other mother¡¯s pushing their children in it.

    But her mum always refuses saying ¡®only the poor and miserable people do such things¡¯

    Louisa pushed the trolley to the kids section, she yawned while picking up a story book. ¡°How about this one? it has a nice title, the golden nket¡±

    ¡°Nope!¡± she shook her head, Louisa dropped the book and showed her another one but got the same answer. She tried a few more books and got the same answer again.

    Louisa narrowed her eyes at Chloe. ¡°you shouldn¡¯t judge a book by its cover¡±

    Chloe pouted her lips and lowered her gaze. ¡°I know¡±

    ¡°So which bedtime story do you want exactly?¡±

    ¡°I want to listen to your own made up story¡±

    Louisa¡¯s eyes widened, did she just cone out sote at night to hear this?

    She looked around the mall that was mostly empty.

    ¡°You could have said that earlier!¡±

    Chloe shrugged ¡°I forgive you¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Louisa said almost like a whisper, was it her head or did Chloe just behaved as Amelia would?.

    ¡°You are very naughty!¡±

    Louisa came out of the mall with Chloe on her back, she wrapped her hand on Louisa¡¯s neck to support herself from falling.

    ¡°Lou are you upset with me?¡±

    ¡°Well yeah!¡±

    She waved her hand up and down to stop the cabing towards her but instead it sped past her. ¡°Hey! that was rude¡± she yelled after the cab.

    ¡°Herees another one!¡± Chloe eximed.

    The car shed it¡¯s headlight at them, Louisa and Chloe raised their hands to block their eyes.

    ¡°Uncle Dn!¡±

 Chapter 94_ Annoying Friends

    James horned several times as he stopped the car by Louisa¡¯s side. Steven lowered the windshield with a wide grin.

    Louisa¡¯s jaw clenched in annoyance, of all people to meet why them?

    Chloe pointed to the backseat, where Dn was seated with his head resting on the headrest ¡°Lou Dn is asleep¡±

    ¡°What is wrong with him?¡± Louisa curiously asked.

    ¡°He is drunk to a stupor!¡± James answered.

    Louisa rolled her eyes, of course, what else were they born for other than to get drunk and move around with different girls?

    ¡°I¡¯m not really surprised¡±

    James and Steven faced each other whispering among themself.

    ¡°Hop in we will give you a ride back home¡± Steven suggested.

    Louisa raised a brow, she doesn¡¯t trust these two one bit, but what other options does she have? it¡¯s already sote.

    She walked over to the other side and gently ced Chloe in the car before she got in.

    Louisa stared at the two when the car didn¡¯t move after a while.

    ¡°Can we go now?¡±

    They bursted outughing which Louisa didn¡¯t find funny at all.

    James and Steven came down from the car, she lowered the windshield to know what was going on. ¡°What is the problem?¡±

    ¡°We have to return to our wives and kids so we won¡¯t be able to take you home anymore¡± James said with a smile.

    ¡°What?¡± Louisa asked in surprise, she should have known better not to trust these two fools.

    ¡°And what wives and kids were you talking about? you both don¡¯t even have a real girlfriend, you change girls every hour¡± Louisa added.

    James shrugged ¡°Suite yourself then!, why don¡¯t you drop Dn at his house? we really have to leave now¡±

    ¡°See ya!¡± Steven said and left, Louisa blinked her eyes in confusion. She saw them hailing down a cab before getting in.

    The cab sped past her, they waved at her with a teasing grin on their lips.

    This was the reason she never liked them, they were so annoying and can make any sane person go mad in a matter of seconds.

    ¡°Lou can you drive a car?¡± Chloe asked poking Dn¡¯s chin.

    Louisa took a brief nce at Dn¡¯s sleeping face and had the urge to punch him in the face. She came down from the backseat and took the driver¡¯s seat.

    ¡°I don¡¯t even know this dummy¡¯s house!¡± Louisa mumbled irritably.

    She started the car and drove off slowly, if Chloe hadn¡¯t requested for a bedtime story she wouldn¡¯t have met those two annoying friends of Dn.

    ¡°I wonder how Liam made friends with them¡±

    ..

    .

    Louisa stopped in front of her building, she saw the contrast between Dn¡¯s car and the building and was rmed. ¡®What if they steal his car?¡¯

    She brushed off the thought and came out of the car, she opened the back door and helped Dn out.

    ¡°Oh goodness! he reeks of alcohol and why exactly was he drunk?¡±

    She groaned slightly, his whole weight was on her, Louisa ced one of his hands over her shoulder leading him slowly to her apartment.

    Louisaid Dn down on the bed and sighed, she gently massaged her neck.

    ¡°Lou, Dn took all the space on the bed where would we sleep?¡±

    ¡°So you finally want to sleep? if you had not requested for a bedtime story we would be sleeping sofortable by now!¡± She scolded in a hushed tone.

    Louisa grabbed a few pillows from the drawer and divided the bed into two sections. ¡°There! we can stay on this part while he stay at the other side if he crosses the boundary I will beat him up!¡±

    ..

    .

    Anthony nced briefly at the door as soon as his assistant came into his office. ¡°Sir i have every information which you asked forst night!¡±

    He dropped his pen and collected the file, his assistant was holding.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    He opened it and took out a few photos, he picked a single photo and stared at it with a lot of attention.

    ¡°He is Damien, Amelia¡¯s college friend, he once showed an interest in her but was rejected by her¡± The assistant exined

    Anthony dropped the photo and took out another one.

    ¡°And that is kelvin smith a popr actor who was recently signed at star entertainment where Amelia works, they¡¯ve been seen a couple of times together and were suspected to be a couple, and they are currently shooting a movie together¡±

    Anthony¡¯s eyes narrowed at Kelvin¡¯s smiling photo, he ced Kelvin¡¯s photo aside and picked up the next one.

    ¡°That is Karl¡­..

    ¡°He is my son¡± Anthony said cutting off his assistant.

    He ced Karl¡¯s photo along with Damien¡¯s photo at the left side of the table. He took another one and examined it closely.

    ¡°And that is Liam Grayson, the country¡¯s most youngest and sessful CEO who¡­¡­

    ¡°I know who he is, I¡¯ve heard a lot about him and his unique business tactics and ideas, his family are the most affluent in the country¡±

    He stroked his chin in deep thought and picked thest photo which was nk.

    ¡°This is nk!¡±

    The assistant bowed his head ¡°Thest man is unknown, your daughter got engaged to him months ago and she has refused to reveal his identity or say anything about it again!¡±

    Anthony picked Kelvin¡¯s photo along with Liam¡¯s photo.

    ¡°Where was Amelia spotted with Liam Grayson?¡±

    ¡°At hispany¡¯s projectunching three weeks ago the media¡¯s were present to capture every little details of that night and he owns star entertainment where she works¡±

    ¡°We are missing something¡± he mumbled staring closely at Liam and Kelvin¡¯s photo.

    He doubted if Liam Grayson was the one married to his daughter, it has been a month now since when he submitted an application for partnership to Liam¡¯spany and he hasn¡¯t gotten any feedback till date.

    He believed Liam Grayson was a busy man and he had no time for any rtionship with women.

    So that leaves him with kelvin, he is just the type of guy that can make any girl drool with a simple smile. ¡°It has to be him, Amelia loves attention and he looks like the one to give ady his full attention, I¡¯m very sure that he is my daughter¡¯s husband¡±

    Dn snuggled closer to the soft body before him, he wrapped an arm around Louisa¡¯s waist pulling her nearer to him.

    Louisa¡¯s eyes widened as his hands tightened around her body, she looked around but Chloe was nowhere to be found on the bed and the the pillows which she ced as a boundary were all gone.

    Dn buried his face in her hair inhaling the minty scenting from it, his eyebrows creased in his sleep. Louisa tried to move out of his strong grip which only made him tighten his embrace.

    ¡°Hmmm¡­ stop moving pillow¡± He mumbled next to her ears.

    ¡°This fool thinks I¡¯m his pillow!¡±

    She heard a click, followed by another she turned her head and was surprised to see Chloe with her phone taking pictures of them.

    Dn¡¯s eyelids fluttered open, his brows creased when he saw the unfamiliar surroundings. ¡°Ahh my head hurts so much!¡± he cried out.

    He heard a giggleing from the other end of the room. ¡°you!¡±

    He nced around and finally rested his gaze on thedyying next to him.

    He retracted his arm from her body and sat up, ¡°What Is going on?¡±

    Louisa sat up ring at him. ¡°Are you finally back to your senses?¡±

    Dn nced briefly at Chloe who shrugged her shoulders.

 Chapter 95_ Lies

    Louisa¡¯s chest heaved up and down in anger, she got out swiftly from the bed and grabbed the baseball bat she normally keeps around just Incase an intruder breaks into her home.

    Dn gulped down as he stared at the baseball bat ready to strike him.

    ¡°Please drop that! and exin to me why I¡¯m here¡±

    ¡°Oh! you can¡¯t remember, how about I smack you in the head with this!¡±

    Dn closed his eyes trying to remember what happenedst night but all he received was a banging headache.

    ¡°Gosh! my head hurts¡±

    ¡°it will definitely hurt!¡± Louisa sarcastically said, she dropped the bat on the bed and left for the kitchen.

    ¡°Dn look at this photos aren¡¯t they nice?¡±

    Chloe said waving the phone in his face while jumping on the bed next to him.

    Dn snatched the phone from her small hands and stared at the photos. He gasped while swiping the screen.

    ¡°You little creature¡± he pulled Chloe to sit next to him.

    ¡°You have made my day¡± Dn praised but he wondered how he ended up here in the first ce, he recalled that he was at a bar with James and Steven.

    ¡°Don¡¯t think too much, your silly friends dumped you at the roadsidest night¡±

    ¡°Here have this!¡± she added stretching a bowl in front of him.

    Dn stared at the bowl then back to her frowning face.

    ¡°It¡¯s hangover soup, you don¡¯t worth dying by my poison!¡±

    Dn lifted a brow, and epted the bowl she was holding, his fingers slightly grazed hers which made her shudder.

    ¡°Thanks¡± he said with a small smile.

    ¡°Lou I will bete for school¡± Chloeined.

    Louisa tapped her head, she always forgets about the little girl. ¡°Sorry baby, I almost forgote here¡±

    Dn¡¯s phone vibrated in his pocket, he brought it out to see it was from his mum.

    ¡°Hi mum what¡¯s up?¡±

    ¡°Come over to the hospital son! your mum is in a bad state!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡±

    The call went dead, he drank a little out of the bowl, and stroked his chin he knew this was one of their ploy to get something out of him but his dad¡¯s voice sounded urgent.

    He waited a little more for Louisa before he can leave, after a while she came out with Chloe all dressed up for school.

    ¡°Lou let Dn drop us off today¡± Chloe suggested which Dn agreed to immediately.

    ¡°Yeah I don¡¯t mind¡±

    Louisa sighed, what more could she loose? ¡°Let me get the key¡±

    ..

    Amelia peeped into the kitchen and couldn¡¯t help butugh, Liam was trying to make breakfast and he really sucks at it. She took several pictures of him without him knowing.

    She held her nose from the choking smelling from the burnt foods he tried cooking.

    The kitchen was all messed up, even his cute pink apron was all ruined with different stains.

    The frustrated look on his face made her burst intoughter, she walked into the kitchen and stared at the burnt foods littered everywhere.

    ¡°Mr arrogant, what were you trying to do? you¡¯ve messed up the whole kitchen¡±

    Liam sighed pulling off the apron, ¡°And what are youughing about? I tried didn¡¯t I?¡±

    Amelia dusted his shirt with her hands leading him out of the kitchen.

    ¡°Who will ever believe me when I tell them that Liam Grayson is setting his kitchen on fire because he was cooking?¡±

    ¡°Tease me all you want¡± he said with a frown, he had woken up a little bit earlier than normal to make breakfast for her, even when the cooks offered him their help, he tantly declined.

    ¡°You might be bad at cooking but there are other ways you can prove yourself to me¡±

    Liam narrowed his eyes at her, was she thinking the same way as him?

    ¡°Yeah you can do something other things that responsible husbands do for their wives if you know what I mean¡±

    ¡°Take you out for shopping?¡± Liam asked curiously,

    Amelia waved her hand in denial ¡°Surprise me,dies love surprises¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m very good at giving surprises¡± Liammented while itching his head.

    As soon as she left, he tapped on his phone before raising it to his ear. ¡°Abby I need your help! it¡¯s urgent¡±

    ..

    .

    Dn rushed into the hospital, he received yet another call as soon as he dropped Chloe off at school.

    Louisa felt bad hearing about it and decided to go with him. They were directed into the ward by a nurse.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    Immediately his father and sister saw him they stood up to grant him an ess to sit next to his mum.

    Her eyes were closed and she was breathing with the aid of an oxygen mask.

    ¡°What happened to her?¡± he asked worriedly, he thought that this was not so serious.

    Louisa nced at Jenna, the jovialdy she met the other day was now looking so pale and calm. She felt pity for Dn and didn¡¯t know what to say or do.

    ¡°Her blood pressure shot up, and the doctors said that are chances of recovery are very slim, I¡¯m scared bro¡± Olivia cried out wiping her face with her face towel.

    Dn took Jenna¡¯s hand into his massaging it softly. ¡°Mum I¡¯m here please wake up¡± he whispered softly.

    Jenna¡¯s fingers moved slightly before her eyes fluttered open. ¡°Darling I¡¯m not sure I can make it out of here alive¡±

    ¡°Hush! stop saying stuffs like that¡± Dn scolded,

    Jenna gasped softly ¡°Dn I¡¯ve always waited for the day when you will finally get married and settle down¡±

    She took a brief nce at Louisa and smiled ¡°Louisa dear, pleasee over here¡±

    Louisa snapped out of her daze and walked towards her. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry for what happened to you¡± Louisa expressed herself.

    ¡°I¡¯m d that you are here¡±

    ¡°Mum Shhh¡­. you are going to be fine¡± Dnforted stroking her chin.

    Olivia cried out loud, while Jerryforted her ¡°Dear don¡¯t cry¡±

    ¡± I don¡¯t have any more time but before I leave for good I want you to do something for me son, onest thing that will always make me smile in the afterlife¡± She pulled out the diamond ring from her and handed it to Dn.

    Dn stared down at the ring and returned his gaze to her face, his eyes was already getting teary by the seconds.

    ¡°I want you to make a life timemitment to Louisa now, put the ring on her finger and my spirit will be at rest when I finally die¡±

    Louisa¡¯s eyes widened.. wait! what? was she really serious now? she met Dn¡¯s pleading eyes and sighed, what she was asking was just too much.

    ¡°Mrs Wesley I¡­.

    Jenna gasped for breathe as her chest heaved up and down.

    ¡°Mum!¡±

    ¡°Please make this happen before I die¡± her breathing increased.

    Louisa panicked, this was really a tight spot for her, why did she evene here in the first ce?

    Dn faced Louisa with a pleading gaze, this was his mum¡¯sst wish.

    He went on one knee in front of her with the ring in his finger. ¡°Marry me Louisa¡±

    Louisa¡¯s heartbeat increased, her eyes scanned the room everyone of them were in an emotional state and this was thest wish of a dyingdy.

    ¡°Yes I will marry you¡±

    Dn sighed in relief and slid the ring on her finger.

    He got up and pulled her into his arms, she just relieved him of a huge burden.

    ¡°Now for me to leave this beautiful world¡± Jenna said softly before her head fell to the side.

    The door pushed open with a loud bang as some trumpeters came in blowing the loud instrument. Jerry pulled out a bottle of champagne and popped it open.

    Olivia picked up her phone which she hid at the side of a flower vase.

    Jenna got up from the bed pulling off the mask, sheughed happily. Jerry twirled her around ¡°This is the best day of my life!¡±

    James and Steven walked into the ward with a teasing grin. ¡°Congrats man!¡±

    Dn and Louisa stood rooted to the ground, nothing was making sense to them anymore. They watched in wonderment as they all danced to the sound of the loud trumpets.

 Chapter 96_ Prickly heat powder 1

    Luciana rushed into the hospital ward panting slightly, Olivia had called her earlier and exined the whole n to her.

    She honestly thought that she was the one to get engaged to Dn today but by the looks of things she camete and worst of all it was Louisa who got engaged to Dn.

    ¡°Alright that¡¯s enough!¡± Dn yelled.

    The music died down and they all turned back to stare at him.

    ¡°What on earth is going on here?¡± Dn questioned to see them murmur among themselves.

    ¡°What does it look like to you? we didn¡¯t want you to die as a loner that¡¯s why we staged this act, by the way tell me how was it¡± Jenna replied wiggling her brows.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    ¡°An act? you think my life is a joke? you all messed up big time!¡± Louisa muttered irritably and left the ward.

    ¡°Louisa wait!¡± Dn called after.

    ¡°Hope you are happy now?¡± Dn faced them before he went after Louisa.

    They bursted outughing as soon as Dn left. ¡°They won¡¯t be able to get out of this mess easily¡± Jenna whispered to her husband.

    Louisa came out angrily from the ward she tried to pull the ring out but it was stuck to her finger. ¡°Lou please hear me out!¡±

    She heard Dn yelled behind her, she fastened her pace and came out of the hospital.

    However, her eyes were blinded by the shing and clicking sounds of cameras.

    ¡°We heard you just got engaged to the Wesley¡¯s heir tell us how you feel at the moment¡±

    Dn stopped by Louisa¡¯s side and was as surprised as her his dramatic family also invited the media.

    Louisa moved back a little as they bombarded her with lots of questions. she faced Dn with a creased brow. ¡°So this was your n all along, I shouldn¡¯t have listened to anything you said earlier I¡¯m such an idiot!¡±

    Dn watched her storm out in anger, he closed his eyes in frustration, his entire family were nuts and crazy.

    ¡°Mr Wesley please say something¡±

    ¡°Noments!¡± he yelled at them..

    ..

    Amelia watched the news with so much attention. ¡°How is this even possible? Louisa loves Jake, none of this is making much sense¡±

    Liam came into the room with a small gift box, he hid it behind him while taking a seat beside her. ¡°He finally got over his fear, that¡¯s a good start!¡±

    Amelia raised a brow at him, did he know about this?. ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±

    ¡°Dn loves Louisa¡±

    Amelia gasped, she wasn¡¯t so shocked by the news, she had also noticed Dn¡¯s overly gentle manner around Louisa. ¡°Louisa doesn¡¯t like Dn she loves Jake¡±

    ¡°You once loved Greg, everything is possible¡± Liam replied.

    Amelia narrowed her eyes at him ¡°you dare use my past again me huh?!¡±

    She grabbed a pillow and smacked him with it, she already digested the fact that Greg was her biggest mistake but having Liam who constantly reminded her of it makes her anger rise.

    ¡°I¡¯m just saying, and by the way I have a gift for you which you would truly love¡±

    Amelia¡¯s eyes shone in excitement, she tried to look behind him to see what he was holding. ¡°show me¡±

    Liam presented the small gift box to her which she took happily. She tore open the ribbon and wrappers.

    ¡°I can¡¯t wait to see what¡¯s in¡­¡­.¡±

    Her smile freezed as she pulled out the item out of the box.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you like it?¡±

    Amelia blinked her eyes to check if she was seeing things.

    ¡°Liam this is prickly heat powder!¡±

    ¡°Yeah I know, it was really a tough decision to make?¡±

    Amelia felt like crying andughing at the same time. ¡°I don¡¯t even know what to say I¡¯m just so shocked¡±

    ¡°I knew you would love it¡±

    Amelia snapped her head to face him ¡°Love it? which husband in this life gifts ady this? a prickly heat powder? you are such a weird man¡±

    Liam¡¯s brow creased ¡°I got what you needed¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°I meant to say I overheard you talking to yourself that your powder was finished so I decided to get one for you¡±

    Amelia stood up from her seat feigning anger, Liam was just ridiculous. ¡°Not this type of powder Mr Arrogant I was talking about¡­¡­ arghh¡­. nevermind!¡±

    ..

    Cecile wheeled Brianna to the nearest room when she heard some footsteps approaching.

    She fixed her hair and came out to know who it was.

    Fred scanned the whole living room till he rested his eyes on thedy in front of him. looking at her eyes and face alone he could tell that she was rted to Amelia.

    ¡°It¡¯s nice to finally meet thedy who gave birth to a daringdy like Amelia¡±

    Cecile creased her brow, she knew who this psycho was, Amelia had mentioned a lot to her concerning him and his sick sister.

    ¡°What are you doing here?¡±

    Fred touched his chest as if in shock ¡°Oh my! I guess it runs in the blood, how about I do a quick introduction¡±

    ¡°Scum bags don¡¯t need to do an introduction, they are addressed anyhow, Liam hates uninvited guests please help yourself out!¡±

    Fred¡¯s eyes shed with hate towards the venomous woman in front of him. ¡°Do you know who you are messing with? if you utter one more word I will make you pay!¡±

    ¡°Guests shouldn¡¯t threaten their host it¡¯s considered rude and disrespectful and you can also be kicked out of here¡±

    Fred walked towards the woman and grabbed her chin squeezing it. ¡°Learn how to control that running tongue of yours or I might be forced to pull it out!¡±

    Cecile¡¯s brows drew together, she pt him hard across the face . ¡°You should be punished forying your hands on ady old enough to birth you!¡±

    ¡°Is anyone there?¡±

    Two guards came in and seized Fred, ¡°Sorry ma¡¯am he disguised himself as a servant but this won¡¯t repeat itself again¡±

    ¡°Listen to me Mrs Hart, you and your daughter will pay so dearly for messing with me this way!¡±

    ¡°Take him out!¡± Cecile ordered..

    ..

    ¡°Good you¡¯ve done your part, all you have to do is toy low for a few days¡±

    Angie looked at old Grayson with glee, she wanted to hear the good news that he had to share.

    ¡°Father tell me what happened?¡±

    ¡°Everything that should have happened in the first ce, Liam might have rendered us powerless but he forgot to do one most important thing which will cost him dearly¡±

    Angie handed him a ss of water, all she wanted was to go back to living her luxurious life with Liam out of the way.

    ¡°Liam never makes mistakes so what could it be?¡±

    Old Grayson smiled scornfully at her ¡°He only trusts one person in our family and that is Abby, Abby wasn¡¯t thrown out of the Grayson¡¯s house and she is the only one feeding us information about Liam Indirectly¡±

    ¡°What? but Abby would never go against Liam, how did you brainwash her?¡±

    Old Grayson stood up, his grey orbs turned dark as he stared ahead.

    ¡°Her phone is being tapped without her knowledge and every information I need to know about Liam¡¯s new move is on her phone, she has been calling him frequently¡±

    Angie¡¯s grin widened, finally she would get rid of Liam for good.

    ¡°Fred and Jane are on our sides so imagine what would happen to Liam once he returns from his honeymoon¡±

    ¡°And what If that actress falls pregnant? she will give birth to an heir and everything will be ruined¡¯ again¡±

    ¡°I have that covered¡± old Grayson replied calmly.

 Chapter 97_ Prickly heat powder 2

    Abbyughed out loud as she listened to Liam¡¯s exnations. ¡°Bro you are so funny of course she is bound to be upset, she must have thought of something so pretty and all you could get is prickly heat powder?¡±

    ¡°If only you hade when I asked you to, this wouldn¡¯t have happened¡± Liam said in his defense, he had zero idea when it came todies gifts and all that.

    ¡°You should have sounded polite, I¡¯m not one of your guards who you can order around¡±

    ¡°Hi Abby!¡±

    The two were jolted out of their conversation as soon as she showed up.

    ¡°Amelia¡± Abby stood up and drew her into a warm hug and pulled away.

    ¡°You are getting thicker Amelia, tell me what¡¯s the secret?¡± Abby said with a teasing wink which made Amelia¡¯s cheeks flushed.

    Amelia returned her gaze to Liam who avoided making eye contact. She smiled walking towards him. ¡°Liam you never told me that Abby was here¡± she said with pouted lips.

    ¡°I just got here Amelia and I was about toe to your room before you appeared and by the way Liam got something for you, I bet you will love it this time around¡±

    Amelia squinted her eyes at him, what more gift could he possibly get for her?

    ¡°I did?¡± Liam asked to receive a wink from Abby, ¡°Yes of course I did get you another gift¡±

    ..

    .

    Abby blindfolded Amelia and led her out of the room with Liam tailing after her.

    ¡°As far as it¡¯s not prickly heat powder¡± she said sarcastically, Liam itched his head, he was also curious on what surprise she was talking about.

    Liam¡¯s phone buzzed, he answered the call immediately as soon as he saw who it was. ¡°what? how did he get into the house?¡± only he knew about the other secret tunnel to his house and no one else.

    ¡°I will be back before you know it¡± He announced and ended the call.

    Amelia pulled off the blindfold and touched his arm in worry. ¡°Liam is everything okay?¡±

    ¡°Fred broke in and tried to hurt your mum we will leave tomorrow morning¡±

    Amelia nodded in understanding ¡°How dare he? I will break his bones when next I see him¡±Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    ..

    .

    Louisa mmed the door behind her resting her back against it.

    ¡°Lou please open the door and hear me out!¡± Dn banged on the door hurriedly.

    Everything has be a huge mess since the media were involved now. ¡°Louisa, I never knew that they were only putting on an act¡±

    She sat on the floor with her back against the door, she didn¡¯t want to hear any exnation from him. She ced both hands against her ear, nothing he says or does now would make her change her mind.

    ¡°Go away! I don¡¯t want to see you or hear any exnation, just get the f**k out!¡± She yelled crying her eyes out.

    Dn kicked the door in anger and ran his hand through his hair, his family had managed to ruin everything for him in the span of one hour.

    ¡°I promise to clear everything out without tarnishing your name¡±

    Louisa stood up in anger and opened the door. ¡°And how do you n on doing that? you are the main reason for all these! if only you had tried to clear things out with your parents this wouldn¡¯t have happened¡±

    She raised her finger staring at the ring in disgust, she closed her eyes while trying to yank it off. ¡°Ahh..¡± she screamed in pain.

    ¡°Lou you will hurt yourself¡± Dn said worriedly holding her two hands in ce.

    ¡°Let me go!¡±

    She yanked his hands off from hers ¡°Don¡¯t touch me, I will get the ring off no matter what it takes and I will send it to you as soon as possible¡±

    Dn¡¯s released a soft gasp, does she really despise him that much?

    ¡°What is wrong in getting married to me?¡±

    Louisa¡¯s lips parted in surprise, was he out of his mind? she just broke up with Jake a few days ago and he expects her to move on and that too with him?

    ¡°Everything is wrong Dn! I hate spoilt and rich brats like you, do you think I¡¯m one of those girls who you have a night stand with?¡±

    Dn hissed in annoyance, he massaged his temples. She was still judging him with all that?. ¡°Lou I don¡¯t live that lifestyle anymore, I am a changed person now¡±

    ¡°How manydies have you said that to so far? I¡¯ve heard that line like a billion times, have you forgotten that you visit the bar I once worked at frequently? you tell that to every singledy youe with!¡±

    ¡°Lou¡­

    Louisa stepped back into her apartment and mmed the door at his face..

    .

    Jerry and Jenna bowed their heads as they received some scoldings from Dn.

    Luciana rolled her eyes at the family drama she was witnessing, they were the weirdest family she had evere across.

    ¡°Look honey we did everything just for your sake, how can we sit back and watch you throw your life away?¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t ask for your help, you¡¯ve only made matters worse now she thinks I tricked her into this¡±

    Olivia walked up to her brother and touched his arm. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry bro this was all my idea, but I promise to speak to her on your behalf¡±

    Dn shook his head and left the house, if he stays back for a minute he might say or do something that he might regretter on.

    ¡°Honey I¡¯m so sorry¡± Jenna called out..

    ..

    Dn entered his car and drove out of thepound, Louisa¡¯s words hurt him deeply today, his grip on the steering tightened.

    ¡°I will never show you my face again nor will you hear from me anytime soon¡± he whispered to himself.

    He didn¡¯t me her for thinking that way about him infact, he deserved every bit of it, maybe this was karma.

    His phone rang out, he swiped the answer button. ¡°Hey man what¡¯s popping?¡±

    ¡°I know everything Dn, and I know what is going on in that silly mind of yours, don¡¯t you dare run away from this city¡±

    Dn chuckled at Liam¡¯s good guess, of course he wanted to leave the city, that¡¯s what he does whenever he faces problems.

    ¡°Liam you are lucky, and I envy you a lot sometimes, at least you have the person you truly love by your side¡±

    ¡°Dn don¡¯t be stupid!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s just for some months I will return after that for now bye¡±¡­

    ¡°Don¡¯t hang¡­.

    Liam hissed in anger, Dn was fond of running away from his problems instead of dealing with it head on.

    ¡°Is he okay?¡± Amelia asked worriedly to receive a nod from him.

    ¡°Speak to Louisa, Dn wasn¡¯t at fault¡±

    ¡°I will try my best¡± she replied and ced her head on his chest. Louisa only needs time to calm down.

 Chapter 98_ Nowhere to be found

    The flight back to their city was a quick one, since their enemies used their absence to their advantage.

    Liam¡¯s car drove into the driveway, the doors were also opened for Liam and Amelia to step out.

    ¡°It¡¯s good to be finally home¡± Ameliamented but deep down she wished they didn¡¯t have toe back so early.

    ¡°There¡¯s always a second and third honeymoon but first we have to stop those joy killers before they ruin our second one¡± Liam added with a teasing smile.

    They both entered into the building hand in hand, as soon as Cecile and Brianna saw them they smiled in excitement.

    ¡°Amy!¡± Cecile came rushing towards her daughter pulling her cheeks slightly.

    ¡°Look how chubby you¡¯ve be and you too Liam¡±

    Liam smiled at her and walked towards his mum, he crotched down and touched her face.

    ¡°Are you mad at me? because you don¡¯t look so happy to see us back¡±

    Brianna faced the other side avoiding his gaze, ¡°The honeymoon was supposed to be for a whole month and you are back so early how am I suppose to hear a good news now?¡±

    Amelia blushed red in embarrassment, her mum inw was so blunt with her words.

    ¡°And who told you that we didn¡¯t make use of the little time we have properly?¡± Liam asked his mum while staring teasingly at Amelia.

    ¡°Mum I will be upstairs!¡± Amelia said hurriedly and left the living room or she might die from embarrassment, Liam¡¯s new level of shamelessness was nothing to write about..

    ..

    ¡°Boss they arrived few minutes ago what¡¯s the next move?¡±

    Fred nced towards old Grayson, the phone was currently on loud speaker for everyone present in the room to hear.

    Old Grayson stared ahead calmly, he tapped the long table present in Fred¡¯s base in a slow rhythm. Angie gulped hard, these two were monsters.

    Who would have known that old Grayson harbours such hatred towards his own grandson? and his n? she shuddered at the thought at least one thing was certain, Liam won¡¯t be able toe out of this mess ever.

    ¡°It¡¯s a good thing that he is back, what can I say? that mole thinks he can control the world now that everything belongs to him, everything that we have nned must be executed within this month¡±

    Fred nodded his head and ced the phone back to his ear. ¡°Start the first phase¡± he ordered and hanged up.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    Old Grayson caught a glimpse of Angie sweating profusely. ¡°There¡¯s a need for you to be scared since your son will be involved now!¡±

    ¡°What?! no¡­ no father.. not my prince!¡± Angie screamed in horror. Nichs was her pride and joy if anything happens to him she might not be able to live with it.

    It was fine when they took her little daughter away but not nick. Chloe was just another type of mistake she did. but Nick? he was her life.

    ¡°I already said it and so shall it be, and this could benefit him too since he has an interest in Liam¡¯s wife¡±

    Angie¡¯s lips parted, if Nichs gets a whiff about this, he would do whatever it takes to get that actress without thinking about it.

    ¡°But father¡­.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything anymore Angie! it has been concluded that way!¡±

    ..

    .

    Louisa turned towards the door, she wasn¡¯t in the mood to receive any guest after what happened yesterday with Dn.

    ¡°Lou someone is at the door¡±

    Chloe said pulling off the earpiece from her small ears. She ced them back and resumed watching the cartoon on Louisa¡¯s phone.

    Louisa grudgingly got up and opened the door, her lips parted when Amelia came in view.

    ¡°Amy!¡±

    Amelia rolled her eyes and walked past her ¡°Were you contemting on opening the door for me? we have a lot to talk about¡±

    Amelia ran her fingers through Chloe¡¯s hair slightly. ¡°Hey baby!¡±

    ¡°Big sis¡±

    Chloe jumped in excitement throwing herself into Amelia¡¯s arm.

    ¡°Awwn my cutie baby is looking really pretty hope you didn¡¯t cause trouble for Louisa?¡±

    Chloe shook her head and at the same time crossed her fingers behind her.

    ¡°Did you get something for me?¡± her big eyes blinked in excitement and glee.

    ¡°Yeah I got a lot of choctes and dolls and so many other things only for you¡±.

    Louisa handed Amelia a ss of water and sat at the sofa opposite her. Amelia took a sip out of her ss and ced it on the table beside her.

    She maintained strict eye contact with Louisa. ¡°What the f**k is going on Lou? I am utterly confused on what is going on, who do you love between Dn and Jake?¡±

    ¡°Is that even a question Amy? of course you know who I really love¡±

    Amelia stood up and turned on the tv present in the mini living room. She turned in to an entertainment news channel before returning to her seat.

    ¡°Then kindly exin to me what this is about? you got engaged to Dn when you love Jake and I thought you were some love guru¡±

    ¡°Jake broke up with me¡±

    Amelia stared at Louisa in unbelief, she wasn¡¯t expecting to hear this. She had been a witness to their love and affection towards each other.

    ¡°What? how did this happen?¡±

    ¡°He had seen I and Dn together on multiple asions and had been questioning but few days back he just decided to end things for good¡±

    Louisa stood up from her seat and walked to the table, she picked took a tissue out of the box and wiped her face with it.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry but that doesn¡¯t stop you from moving on with your life, if they leave it means they were never meant for you¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not you Amelia, you were lucky to find love again after Greg cheated on you¡±

    Amelia touched Louisa¡¯s shoulder. ¡°but there¡¯s Dn there for you¡±

    Louisa turned sharply to Amelia ¡°Dn? and what makes you think that? he is the root of all my problems ever since I met him I¡¯ve been loosing things¡±

    ¡°Dn loves you Lou!¡±

    Louisa swallowed hard, what? how can a yboy fall in love? that was the craziest joke she has ever heard. Sheughed out loud.

    ¡°He loves me? or he wants my body just like he did to other girls? I¡¯ve heard him say those words to girls thousand of times and I¡¯m not going to fall for that trick!¡±

    ¡°Well you have to! Dn is nowhere to be found! he left the city yesterday and has promised toe back whenever he moves on from his one sided love for you¡±

    ¡°Big sis can we go now? I want to see all my new dolls¡±.

    Amelia smiled at her ¡°Of course we can but first get your things¡±

    Chloe nodded and ran off. ¡°Lou think about it¡± Amelia said and went after Chloe.

 Chapter 99_ Fever

    Liam snapped his head to the door when it flew open. His brow furrowed when he saw Chloe appear and ran towards him.

    She hugged his legs smiling endlessly. ¡°I miss you the most big bro¡±

    Amelia came in and folded her arm when Liam didn¡¯t move a muscle. ¡°Say something to her or you will spend a night in your study room¡± she threatened In a firm tone.

    Liam cursed through gritted teeth and forced a smile at Chloe. He picked her up in his arms stroking her hair gently.

    ¡°I miss you too little girl¡±

    Chloe grinned from ear to ear, hearing him say that to her meant a lot to her even though he was forced to.

    Amelia walked towards the two and stood on her toes to whisper into Liam¡¯s ear. ¡°We have a lot to discuss Mr Arrogant and believe me I won¡¯t ept any form of bribe from you!¡±

    Liam turned to her with a pleading gaze, he didn¡¯t want to get on her bad side again at least not now.

    He dropped Chloe gently to stand on the couch before turning to Amelia.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    ¡°You of all people should know all these, I don¡¯t like her much please don¡¯t force me¡±

    ¡°Okay, but be ready to sleep alone every night!¡± she said and left for the closet.

    Liam returned his gaze to Chloe, he ced both of his hands on his hips staring at her.

    ¡°What should I do with you?¡±

    Chloe opened her hands at him ¡°You can give me the gifts you got for me¡± she said sheepishly.

    Liam tapped his chin as if in deep thought, she wants a gift then so be it.

    He walked towards his baggage and brought out a shiny silver metal. Chloe¡¯srge eyes widened as she shook her head.

    ¡°Do you remember this?¡± Liam asked waving it in front of her.

    She gulped and managed to nod her head, Liam crotched down and slid her two legs into the cuffs.

    ¡°How do you like my gift?¡± He grinned mischievously at her.

    He helped her down from the couch and guided her out of the room. He mmed the door after that and turned around only to meet Amelia¡¯s intense gaze.

    Liam swallowed hard, did she witness all that? ¡°Where is Chloe?¡±

    Liam sighed in relief and at the same time shrugged, he sat at the edge of the bed taking his leather ck shoes off.

    ¡°She left after a while¡± Liam answered, Amelia narrowed her eyes at him. Whenever he was lying he avoids making eye contact with her.

    ¡°You chased her out didn¡¯t you? I can¡¯t believe how childish you have be¡±

    Liam raised his head ¡°What do you mean by that? I feel like you are trying to look for a way to fight with me!¡±

    Amelia folded her arm releasing a small gasp ¡°Are you trying to say that I¡¯m the one who picks fight? Mr arrogant take back that word or you will regret it¡±

    Liam raised a brow, ¡°And what if I don¡¯t? will you force me to?¡±

    Amelia walked towards the mirror and tied her hair into a bun.

    She walked towards Liam who gulped down, he moved back slowly. His eyes darted around looking for a possible escape from her clutches.

    ¡°I thought you were the almighty Liam Grayson, where are on earth were you running to right now?¡± Amelia teased and burst outughing.

    ¡°Did you think I was scared of you?¡±

    ¡°Well you better be, what did you do with your sister?¡±

    Liam almost coughed out blood, when the word ¡®sister¡¯ got into his head.

    ¡°Umm she left after I gave her the gift I got for her¡±

    ¡°Awwn that¡¯s so sweet of you, it¡¯s good to see you finally change for the better¡± Amelia praised but her mind was not convinced enough..

    ..

    Liam raised his head from hisptop after hearing her sneeze for the umpteenth time in the span of thirty minutes.

    Ameliazily opened her eyelids that were heavy, she sneezed again and this time Liam handed her a box of tissue.

    ¡°You don¡¯t look too good Amelia¡± Liam said brushing her hair with his long fingers.

    He touched her forehead and cursed, she was burning hot. ¡°You have a high temperature, I warned youst night but you didn¡¯t yield to my warning¡± Liam scolded and lifted her up from the bed.

    ¡°It¡¯s just a fever and besides you were the one who wanted a quickie in the tub¡± Amelia seconded, her nose had turned red and her eyes a bit swollen.

    ¡°Now is not the time to remind me of my shamelessness, you need a doctor¡¯s attention¡±

    Cecile saw Liam heading her way with Amelia in his arms. She hurriedly walked towards them to check if she was fine.

    ¡°What is wrong with her?¡± Cecile worriedly asked touching Amelia¡¯s head.

    Amelia opened her eyes ¡°I¡¯m not dead mum it¡¯s just a fever! quit worrying so much¡±

    Cecile rolled her eyes, ¡°I¡¯m sure it¡¯s more than that, you are saying all these to avoid going to the hospital but I¡¯m here which is much worse¡±

    ¡°She is scared of the hospital?¡± Liam asked to receive a nod from Cecile. Now it all makes sense to him on why she runs away from the hospital each time she was admitted.

    ¡°What¡¯s there to be scared about?¡± Liam inquired.

    ¡°The needles¡± Cecile blurted out to receive a re from Amelia.

    Liam couldn¡¯t control his urge tough, now he knows three things she was scared of.

    ¡°Laugh all you want, and mum did you really have to tell him?¡±

    Liam dropped her on the couch in the living room to sit. ¡°liam you can go now¡±

    Amelia made a face at him and watched him leave.

    ¡°You are so lucky to see the man who loves a character like you¡± Cecile stated.

    ¡°Mum!¡±

    Amelia sneezed and sniffed back. ¡°Can you get the right drugs? it¡¯s getting unbearable¡±

    Cecile nodded while checking her pulse, and eyes, her brows creased.

    ¡°Is something wrong?¡± Amelia asked on seeing the change of expression on her mum¡¯s face¡±

    ¡°Yeah I was wondering why you tend to speak too much whenever you are ill¡±

    Amelia rolled her eyes ¡°I got most of my qualities from you so who knows?¡± she shrugged her shoulderszily and rxed on the couch.

    She prayed the fever goes away quickly, she still had a few more scenes to shoot with kelvin and she would like to resume shooting as soon as possible..

    .

    A maid walked towards Amelia who was napping on the couch. She rolled her fingers on her ck straight hair.

    ¡°so pretty In person¡± she murmured, her phone rang out and she moved a little distance away from Amelia.

    ¡°Yeah I got in but with a lot of stress and questions but don¡¯t worry I will do exactly as you say¡± she said rolling her eyes.

    ¡°Make her notice how nice and good you are and after you¡¯ve suceeded we move to the next phase¡±

    ¡°Okay got it!¡± she replied nonchntly and hanged up.

    ¡°Hello there! get me a ss of water¡±

    The maid froze after hearing Amelia¡¯s voice behind her. she turned swiftly with a smile going towards her.

    ¡°Sure ma¡¯am anything else?¡±

    ¡°No that will be all¡± she replied and the maid left, shortly afterwards she returned with a ss of water.

    Amelia took notice of her cute smile and nice personality.

    ¡°Were you hired recently?¡±

    The maid nodded her head in response to her question. ¡°Yes ma¡¯am¡±

    ¡°What is your name?¡±

    ¡°Stephanie¡±

    Amelia returned the ss of water to her and watched her leave.

    Stephanie¡¯s heart danced with joy not only did the actress noticed her, she also called out her name.

    ¡°Well too bad for you Amelia Hart, thisdy you noticed today is about to be your worst nightmare! it¡¯s not my wish though, it¡¯s just all about the money¡± She mumbled.

    ¡°What?!¡±

 Chapter 100_ Talk to him

    Louisa walked grudgingly towards the door and opened it. before she could react Olivia walked hastily into her apartment.

    ¡®I guess it runs in the family¡¯

    She closed the door and returned to the mini living room. Olivia walked out of the kitchen with a bottle of water.

    Louisa released a breath, she wanted to ask a lots of questions to thedy sitting elegantly in front of her.

    ¡°how did you find my apartment?¡± Louisa asked straight to the point.

    Olivia wiped her lips while cing the bottle of water on the table.

    ¡°it was so easy given as you are the new trendingdy on the inte¡±

    Louisa rolled her eyes, of course she knew that and she hated it so much. ¡°Yeah tell me more¡± she said sarcastically.

    ¡°My brother never knew about all that, I was the one who came up with the idea¡±

    ¡°don¡¯t try to cover him up, I know everything¡±

    Olivia stood up and held Louisa¡¯s shoulders ¡°You know nothing Louisa, I misunderstood everything, I thought you and Dn were a couple when I saw the little girl¡±

    Louisa sighed, ¡°That is ridiculous!¡±

    ¡°but Dn is the one getting the thrashing end, he was never wrong and you didn¡¯t help matters either, he left the city and won¡¯t be returning home anytime soon¡±

    Louisa rolled her eyes, rich kids were so spoilt what will he achieve by running away from the city?

    ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know what to say¡±

    ¡°Please do everything you can to bring him back home, I don¡¯t want to spend another year without him around¡±

    Louisa creased her brows in worry, what was she supposed to do? he already left and no one knows his whereabouts.

    ¡°What can I do? I don¡¯t know where he is¡± she said with a shrug.

    Olivia¡¯s eyes darted around till she spotted Louisa¡¯s phone lying on a drawer. She picked it up and ced it on Louisa¡¯s palm.

    ¡°Talk to him¡±

    Louisa stared back and forth between the phone and Olivia¡¯s face..

    .

    Stephanie turned slowly behind her to see a youngdy before her.

    ¡°What were you talking about? there are lots of things to be done get going!¡± the head maid scolded.

    Stephanie sighed in relief, for a moment there she thought that the maid heard everything.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry ma¡¯am I joined today and I don¡¯t know my way around here¡±

    The head maid¡¯s gaze narrowed at Stephanie, ¡°You are a newbie yet you managed to find your way to the kitchen! how strange¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡± she replied with her head bowed down.

    Cecile walked into the kitchen on hearing the littlemotion going on in there. ¡°Is anything the problem?¡±

    The head maid bowed ¡°She was cking off¡±This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    Cecile turned to the maid who was making direct eye contact with her until the head maid pushed her head downwards.

    Cecile found her attitude strange but shrugged the thought off. ¡°That¡¯s okay, you both can leave now¡±

    She took a ss of water along with her and returned back to the living room. She heard Amelia sneeze a couple of times and sighed.

    ¡°Honey you are getting worse, take this drugs I got you will feel a lot better, but what I fail to understand is how you got a cold¡±

    Amelia¡¯s cheeks blushed beet red as she avoided her mum¡¯s gaze. Cecile immediately understood everything.

    ¡°Have this okay?¡±

    Amelia nodded and watched her mum leave before throwing the pills behind the couch.

    Liam¡¯s eyes narrowed at her behavior, was she scared of pills now? he hurried down the stairs and ced his briefcase on the table.

    ¡°You won¡¯t get better if you don¡¯t take your medications¡± Liam scolded taking another pill from the envelope beside her.

    ¡°What are you talking about?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t pretend I saw what you did¡± Liam seconded pushing the pill into her mouth, he raised the ss of water to her lips.

    She scrunched her face up after tasting the bitter drug. ¡°It tastes so bad, yuck!¡±

    ¡°They are meant to taste that way, please get well soon, I won¡¯t go to the office anymore, I would rather stay here to make sure you are okay¡± Liam pleaded.

    Amelia sneezed out into a tissue paper ¡°Tsk you are just like mum you worry for no good reason¡±

    ..

    Louisa ced her phone back on the table ¡°I can¡¯t do it!¡±

    Olivia sighed and picked the phone again and ced it on Louisa¡¯s palm. ¡°he is my only sibling, even though he gets unbearable at times I still love him a lot, please don¡¯t punish him for what he knows nothing about¡±

    Olivia picked her purse and left the apartment without turning back.

    Louisa stared at the phone on her hand and tapped on it several times.

    Dn¡¯s phone rang out for a few seconds before the call was disconnected. Louisa creased her brow in worry and tried his line again.

    Ady ran her hands on Dn¡¯s sleeping face while staring at the screen of his phone.

    She swiped the answer button and waited patiently for Louisa to speak up.

    ¡°Where the hell are you Dn?¡± Louisa¡¯s questioning voice pierced through her ears.

    ¡°He is with the one who he truly loves¡±

    Louisa was dumbfounded by the reply she got, and that too from ady?.

    She ended the call in annoyance. ¡°I knew it! he won¡¯t change so easily, his family and friends are worried sick about him and he is busy enjoying his life with ady¡± She huffed irritably..

    .

    Amelia sat up as soon as she saw marking in. ¡°Father?¡± she sneezed out, she nced up if Liam were to see him he would create a scene.

    Mark walked hurriedly to her. ¡°Dear where is Liam?¡±

    Amelia pointed up ¡°He is on a business call upstairs¡±

    Mark swallowed hard, he was scared of what his son might do once he finds out that he was here. ¡°you and Liam are in great danger, you both shouldn¡¯t havee back to the city¡±

    Amelia¡¯s brows creased in worry, mark was scaring her with his words. She got up from the couch and stood before him. ¡°Danger? what are you talking about?¡±

    Liam came down the stairs in light footsteps, he stood still for some time. ¡°What are you doing here?¡±

    Amelia and mark snapped their heads to him, mark walked forward to Liam. ¡°I came here to warn you about the danger heading your way, your grandfather and stepmom have joined hands with Fred to destroy youpletely¡±

    Liam maintained an indifferent face, ¡°And what were you doing then?¡±

    Liam¡¯s questioned to receive a re from Amelia. ¡°Liam, he came to warn us what more could he do? the least you could do is to appreciate his effort¡± Amelia snapped at him.

    ¡°how are you so sure that he¡¯s not working for them? he could be here to spy on us who knows?¡±

    Amelia rolled her eyes at him, Liam could be unbelievable at times.

    ¡°You have to pay heed to me, this time it¡¯s something big, something that would leave a permanent scar in your life¡±

    Stephanie hid at a corner listening to their conversations. ¡°So he is the one who feeds information to his son¡±.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to be worried about my wellbeing, I¡¯m old enough to look after myself¡± Liam said in hostility.

    ¡°Liam you¡­

    ¡°Don¡¯t say anything further, I wronged him which makes it really hard for him to trust me but listen Liam, I won¡¯t gain anything by harming you¡±

    ¡°Fred entering your house wasn¡¯t an ident, this whole thing was prenned in order to get you back in the city¡± mark added.

    Liam turned around ¡°Leave when you are done¡± he said and began walking away.

    Amelia gritted her teeth in anger, Liam was being unnecessarily harsh on his father. ¡°Don¡¯t worry father, I will talk to him and I will make him understand, thanks for the information¡±

    ¡°Daddy!¡±

    Mark¡¯s gaze averted to the little girl running towards him in excitement. He opened his arms and embraced her warmly.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes stinged by the sight, she suddenly remembered her dad. They had the best daughter father connection which sometimes makes her mum upset. She really missed her dad now.

    ¡°My princess¡± mark said twirling her around, Chloeughed out loud a couple of times.

    ¡°I¡¯m getting dizzy¡± she choked out in betweenughter.

 Chapter 101_ Foolish decision

    Mark nted a kiss on Chloe¡¯s cheeks. ¡°I miss you and your little tantrums I hope you aren¡¯t troubling Liam¡±

    Chloe shook her head slowly, Amelia smiled at them but frowned as soon as she recalled Liam¡¯s arrogant behavior towards his dad.

    Liam returned to his room slightly pissed off, he knew his drama queen wife was on her way here to give him a proper scolding which he already mentally prepared himself for.

    And just as he predicted, the door pushed open ¡°Liam Grayson!¡±

    She called out in a firm tone walking towards him, he closed his eyes ready for whatever wasing for him.

    ¡°I know what you are about to say but¡­

    Amelia raised her hands ¡°No buts! I fail to understand you sometimes how could you speak to your dad in that tone?¡±

    Liam released a deep breath, ¡°Please don¡¯t scold me, he has no right to step into my home!¡±

    ¡°Is that so? he is your dad! and the sooner you start epting that the better for you¡±

    She simply said and left the room, Liam sat down on the edge of the huge bed massaging his head gently.

    ¡°She always takes his side no matter what¡±

    ..

    .

    Dn opened his eyes slowly, he held his head that was banging hard. He groaned sitting up on the bed.

    ¡°Good thing you are awake now¡±

    He heard ady¡¯s voice speak, he squinted his eyes at thedy who just entered the room.

    ¡°Who are you?¡±

    Thedy raised a brow, she took slow steps towards him. ¡°Who am I? don¡¯t you remember or you are just trying to act smart?¡±This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    Dn opened his mouth to speak but received a headache instead.

    ¡°I found you in a really bad statest night so I brought you to this hotel¡±

    Dn got out of the bed and staggered a bit,

    ¡°Be careful¡±

    Dn stood in front of thedy, and there was no doubt that he knew her. ¡°I remember you¡±

    ¡°yeah I know I¡¯m ra¡±

    ¡°Did you follow me here?¡± Dn said while giving her a suspicious gaze.

    ra sighed walking towards the window ¡°It was a mere coincidence, I wanted to get over my feelings for someone that¡¯s why I¡¯m here¡±

    Dn raised his head to meet her eyes, he found sincerity in them and he instantly knew that she was saying the truth.

    ¡°Well good luck on that and thanks for everything I will be on my way now¡±

    Dn said and was already heading to the door when he heard her speak behind him. ¡°Where to exactly? you have no one in this city not even the girl you love¡±

    ¡°And how do you know all these about me?¡±

    ra shrugged and poked the golden sculpture of a small duck. ¡°Maybe you have forgotten but we can all get any information about a popr person on the inte nowadays, and I know you are heartbroken just as I am¡¯

    ¡°I don¡¯t know exactly where you are driving at!¡± Dn said breathlessly sounding almost like a whisper.

    ¡°Let¡¯s make a deal¡± shemented biting her lower lip..

    .

    Angie stood up as soon as Nichs stepped into the room. ¡°Prince!¡±

    Nichs brows creased in worry, he could see the uneasiness in her eyes. ¡°Mum are you alright?¡±

    Angie pulled him into her embrace, her son was her only pride and old Grayson was nning to use him for his selfish motive.

    She feared that Liam might harm him once he found out about their ns.

    ¡°Please leave this city and go very far away!¡± Angie said in a hurry.

    Nichs pulled out of her embrace and cupped her face in his hands.

    ¡°What? tell me what the problem is and why are you sounding this way?¡±

    ¡°Your grandfather wants¡­

    ¡°Angie!¡±

    Angie¡¯s breathing hitched as she heard old Grayson call out.

    Old Grayson¡¯s eyes flickered with anger, was she about to blurt every thing out to him? well If that was the case, he will dly help her out.

    ¡°Nichs dear, your mum wanted to tell you that you can get married to Liam¡¯s wife only if you do one thing¡±

    Nichs interest was suddenly piqued by the news, Angie face palmed herself she just ended her son with her actions.

    ¡°No son just let the actress be, I will find you a better girl¡± Angie said trying to persuade him to change his mind.

    ¡°Wow grandpa! what is it? I will do anything to make sure I get Amelia, mum I¡¯m sorry I won¡¯t be able to listen to you now, you know how much I¡¯ve been waiting for this news!¡± he eximed in excitement.

    Old Grayson released a crooked smile ¡°Go on I will join you soon¡±

    Nichs nodded and left soon after, as soon as he was out of the room, old Grayson grabbed Angie¡¯s chin squeezing it.

    ¡°do you see that? now you have to face the consequences of going against my orders!¡±

    He barked throwing a p at her face ¡°Foolish woman! you wanted to be a saviour now watch how I ruin your son¡¯s life!¡±

    Angie gritted her teeth in anger ¡°You cunning old man!¡± she spat in disgust.

    ¡°My son won¡¯t be used for your greedy needs, just ept that you lost to Liam other than waging silent wars at him, if you really have the courageunch an attack on him in the open and let¡¯s see if you would survive after that!¡± Angie screamed in mockery.

    Old Grayson¡¯s grey orbs sparked with a deadly me, that made Angie instantly regretted her choice of words.

    He grabbed her neck choking the life out of her ¡°I got you married to my son just to get a grip of your family¡¯s wealth don¡¯t think you are the ideal daughter inw I can as well end you just as I did with Brianna!¡±

    Angie held his hand that was gripping her neck really hard, even though he was an old man his grip was still so strong.

    ¡°Let¡­ g¡­. go¡± she choked out.

    Old Grayson released his grip on her neck and stormed out in anger.

    Angie crotched down coughing out loud, she nearly lost her life today because of her loosed tongue.

    She took in several breathes while cursing Liam and Amelia all through.

    ¡°If you both hadn¡¯te in the way my son wouldn¡¯t have made this foolish decision!¡±

 Chapter 102_ The parcel

    Liam nced at the door when he heard a knock, he released a deep breath and forced words out of his mouth. ¡°Come in¡±

    The door pushed open and Stephanie came in fiddling a parcel.

    She ogled at Liam greedily who was sitting at the other end of the bedroom.

    ¡°Young master a parcel came for young miss¡±

    Liam hummed in reply, totally uninterested he pointed at a nearby shelf. ¡°Drop it there and leave¡±

    Stephanie nodded and did as she was instructed, she carefully ced the parcel on the shelf.

    Her brows creased in worry, Liam was supposed to take a look at what was inside the brown colored box.

    An idea popped into her mind, she knocked down the parcel and gasped when the contents spilled out.

    ¡°Oh my goodness! I¡¯m so sorry¡­. I¡±

    Liam averted his gaze towards her and the things scattered around her. ¡°What was so difficult in cing the parcel on that shelf? just get out!¡± heshed out harshly at her.

    Stephanie¡¯s heart mmed rapidly, she turned around and left the bedroom in a hurry.

    Liam sighed as his gaze remained on the items on the floor, he suddenly became interested in what was In the parcel.

    He got up from the couch and walked over to the scattered items which fell out of the box.

    His gaze narrowed at a photo that was on the floor. He picked it up at once. ¡°Why does Amelia need Nichs photos?¡±

    He asked himself and gathered the other items, he noticed these all belong to his half brother.

    ¡°What could she possibly need all these for?¡±

    Amelia came hurriedly Into the bedroom to see Liam scanning through the parcel.

    ¡°Liam what are you doing?¡± she questioned snatching the box out of his hands.

    Liam frowned and pointed at the box ¡°I wanted to know what was in the box¡±

    Amelia rolled her eyes, ¡°Oh! I ordered a new set of hair dryer since the old one was broken¡± she exined taking the box along with her, she ced it on the vanity table and turned towards him.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    ¡°Liam I think we should be weary of what father said today, your grandfather and stepmom are evil¡±

    Liam nodded his head to her in response, his grandfather and stepmom were not on his mind for now, what troubled him was why Amelia would lie about her parcel.

    He returned back to his seat and tried to focus back on his work.

    ¡°The parcel is open already, Liam did you do this?¡±

    ¡°The maid who brought it in dropped it by ident¡±

    Luciana squeezed her sunsses in her hands seeing the newdy with Dn, only she knew exactly where Dn runs off to whenever he faces trouble that was why she followed him here.

    She was the one who took him out of the bar when he was drunk, she left him for a while to get a cab and after she came back to where she left him, he was gone.

    Luciana wore back her sunsses before going back to her car.

    Dn nced down at his phone which ra noticed. ¡°She won¡¯t call, I haven¡¯t received a call either¡±

    He snapped his head towards her ¡°I thought about what you suggested and I¡¯ve made the final decision, let¡¯s do this¡±

    ra¡¯s lips formed a thin line, she thought as much. He was bound to ept her offer what other choice does he have.

    ¡°That¡¯s a great news, so what are your ns for this month that you chose to be away from everyone?¡±

    Dn released a breath ¡°I would try not to think much and I hope it doesn¡¯t pass away quickly¡±

    ra nodded to his words, she understands him better since the both of them were going through the same phase.

    Dn stood up, he brought out his wallet and ced a few bills on the table. ¡°I will be at the hotel please don¡¯t bother me for a few days¡± he said which sounded like a whisper.

    ¡°I can¡¯t promise that!¡± ra seconded and watched him leave..

    Louisa hailed down the car that was approaching her. When it stopped she instantly regretted ever stopping it.

    She turned around and began walking away, but the car still followed her blocking her path. She snapped her head to the two guys who were sitted in the car.

    ¡°Get out of the way!¡± sheshed out irritably,

    ¡°I like it when you are upset because you get much more prettier¡± James jested.

    Louisa¡¯s nostrils red in anger, she disliked these two so much that she cringes whenever they appear before her.

    James and Steven stepped out of the car overshadowing her with their height.

    ¡°Stay right there or I will scream¡± Louisa warned stepping back.

    James stopped a man passing by the busy road ¡°We are trying to kidnap her do you mind saving her?¡±

    The man shrugged and left, James grin widened ¡°So you see? even if we kidnap you no one cares so what will you gain by screaming?¡±

    Louisa folded her arm sending deadly res at the two.

    ¡°What do you both want?¡±

    Steven clicked his tongue ¡°We want to sought things out between you and your fiance¡±

    ¡°He is not my fiance!¡± she retorted almost immediately.

    James scoffed loudly ¡°We witnessed your engagement even the world did¡±

    Louisa screamed in frustration, these two were making her go nuts.

    ¡°Don¡¯t provoke me or I will be forced to beat you to a pulp!¡±

    They bothughed at her like she just dropped a joke. ¡°Your threats don¡¯t scare us¡±

    Louisa took a deep breath in ¡®no Louisa stay calm don¡¯t let them get into your head, now rx¡¯ she meditated.

    ¡°Were you busy thinking about Dn?¡±

    And that was it! she lost her temper she sent a flying kick to James face.

    Steven gasped while blinking continuously, what just happened?

    James fell hard on his car¡¯s bo, he touched his face unable to believe what just happened.

    Steven bursted outughing with James. ¡°Both Dn and Liam signed a death wish with the women they love¡±

    Louisa gnashed her teeth in anger ¡°Your match will find you soon and I¡¯m pretty sure that she would beat the hell out of you¡±

    James stroked his jaw ¡°I¡¯m every girls match you must know that by now¡±

    ¡°Clowns!¡± she muttered irritably walking away from them.

    Steven turned to James in worry ¡°Are you alright?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m alright¡±

    Fred walked into Allison¡¯s bedroom to meet her forcing her things into a luggage.

    ¡°Ally what are you doing?¡±

    He asked worriedly touching her shoulder, she yanked his hand off. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare touch me!¡±

    Fred was taken aback by the tone she used on him, her chest heaved up and down in anger. ¡°Are you nning to leave this house and me?¡±

    ¡°And why shouldn¡¯t I leave? you are not capable of handling your problems so how will you solve mine!¡±

    Fred sighed and took a seat on her bed, ¡°I¡¯ve told you countless times that I will make Liam all yours but you don¡¯t have any faith in me¡±

    Allison smirked mockingly, sheughed out hard at her brother¡¯s words. ¡°Faith? and why should I? I can¡¯t believe how powerless you arepared to Liam, our dad is the mayor and you are a mafia don so tell me how hard it is for you to fulfill my wish!¡±

    Mrs Williams was walking past her room when he overheard the conversation between her children.

    ¡°You im to be a deadly and ruthless mafia boss but that petty actress managed to put you in your ce and don¡¯t let me talk about Liam or you won¡¯t be able to face the world!¡±

    Allison resumed packing her things again, she zipped the luggage and pulled out the long handle. ¡°Have a nice life without me!¡± she said mockingly.

    She stopped on her tracks when she saw her mum standing in front of her corridor. ¡°I know what you are about to say mum and I¡¯m not interested in hearing you out!¡±

    ¡°What is going on?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m leaving this house for good!¡±

    Mrs Williams hummed in reply, so this was another new scheme to emotionally ckmail her brother.

    Mrs Williams snatched the luggage from Allison taking it along with her.

    ¡°Mum what are you doing?¡±

    She ignored them and walked out fast with the luggage, she ced it by the main door of the house.

    ¡°See that! I saved you a lot of energy why don¡¯t you take it from here and leave¡±

    Fred and Allison¡¯s mouth dropped in shock, did they hear wrong?

    ¡°Mum do you really want her to leave?¡±

    Allison¡¯s eyes stinged, ¡°I knew it no one loves me! you were trying to chase me out of the house!¡±

    ¡°Mum can you see how upset she is now?¡± Fred asked walking to Allison.

    ¡°She wanted to leave so I helped her a bit to fulfill her selfish task, can¡¯t you see the truth behind those false tears of her¡¯s?¡±

 Chapter 103_ Greedy needs

    Amelia tapped her feet impatiently, she has been standing in front of Liam for a while now and he hasn¡¯t noticed her presence yet.

    She closed down hisptop and took it along with her.

    ¡°Amelia that was an important presentation¡± Liam mumbled going after her.

    She sat down in the middle of the bed clutching theptop to her chest.

    ¡°Important? and me? if you really love yourptop so much why don¡¯t you get married to it and then let me go!¡±

    Liam massaged his temples, he didn¡¯t even know how to react to this. was she really jealous of hisptop?

    He sat down on the bed next to her ¡°I can¡¯t believe how dramatic you can get I just wanted you to have a little rest given you are ill¡±

    Amelia threw her face to the other side, she wasn¡¯t going to have any of his words today. Today he has to make a decision, he has to choose between she and hisptop.

    ¡°You won¡¯t be able to convince me¡±

    ¡°Listen to me youngdy I¡¯m your husband which means I¡¯m more superior to you so hand me myptop¡±

    Amelia gasped and narrowed her eyes at him, she stood up on the bed staring down at him.

    ¡°Mr arrogant! you think you can use that against me? I won¡¯t give this to you no matter what!¡±

    Liam caught hold of her ankles and pulled her down softly. ¡°Don¡¯t try to create trouble for yourself miss¡±

    ¡°Miss?¡±

    Amelia jumped on his back and held onto him tightly. ¡°Now I would make sure you pay for ignoring me Mr Arrogant¡±

    Liam creased his brow, she has really put on some weight.

    ¡°Oh goodness! what have you been eating? you¡¯ve put in so much weight¡±

    ¡°Are you trying to say that I am fat?!¡±

    Liam shook his head in response, ¡°Please don¡¯t torture me this way I promise to spend less time on myptop from now on¡±

    ¡°you¡¯ve said that a lot of times dear husband and I¡¯m not falling for that lie ever again¡± she grumpily stated pressing herself on him..

    ..

    There was a slight knock on the door before it pushed open. Chloe came inside rubbing her eyes. ¡°Big sis¡± she called out.

    Amelia nced towards the little girl calling out her name. She kicked Liam by his sides to make him move forward.

    ¡°yes darling?¡±

    Chloe¡¯s eyes widened in Glee and surprise, she stretched forth her hands towards Liam.

    ¡°Big bro¡±

    Liam sent her a deadly re only to receive a bite on his neck. ¡°Pick her up and don¡¯t you dare refuse¡±

    ¡°wait! what? I can¡¯t possibly carry two babies¡± he turned towards Chloe. ¡°Go and meet one of the servants now leave¡±

    Amelia jumped down from his back and stretched a bit. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Liam we would leave your room so enjoy!¡±

    She took Chloe¡¯s small hand and led her out of the room. ¡°Amelia wait!¡±

    Mark entered the apartment which was dark, he was about to turn on the lights when it came on. he was a bit startled and was even more scared when he saw the chilly gaze old Grayson gave him.

    He presented a smile going to his father¡¯s side ¡°You are still awake?¡±

    ¡°Where were you earlier today? and don¡¯t think about lying to me!¡±

    Mark sighed ¡°If you knew where I went to then why the question? look father I don¡¯t think I owe you any exnation on where I was at or not I¡¯m not longer a child for you to worried¡±

    Mark walked past old Grayson and stopped once he heard his father speaking.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you tired of being humiliated? you went back to that cursed child of yours and¡­..

    ¡°Liam is not cursed father!¡± Markshed out.

    Old Grayson¡¯s eyes shed with anger, he rose up on his feet walking gently to mark with his hands behind his back.

    ¡°You dared raise your voice at me?¡±

    ¡°Liam is I and Brianna¡¯s child and he can never be cursed! and no matter what he does I don¡¯t hold any grudge against him and do you know why? because he is my flesh and blood but that rule doesn¡¯t apply to you and I want to know why!¡±

    Mark said in one breath, maybe they were taking his silence as weakness and using it as an advantage.

    ¡°You are defending the boy who threw you out of the ancestral home? he chased every single one of us out and you stand here talking back at me?¡±

    ¡°Everyone of us has wronged Liam one way or the other and we are facing our punishments, do you remember that Liam was only eight years old when you chased him out of the house?¡±

    Old Grayson¡¯s fist tightened ¡°Yes I had to do that because I don¡¯t want anything rted to Brianna living in my house¡±

    ¡°And now? you are living in the house fit for beggars, throw your arrogance aside and beg Liam for forgiveness before your hatred get the best out of you!¡±

    Mark said and left the living room, sooner orter someone has to tell old Grayson the truth about his greedy needs..

    .

    Cecile handed the drugs meant for Amelia¡¯s fever to Stephanie. ¡°Go and give this to Amelia, she needs to take this so that her fever can subside¡±

    ¡°Yes ma¡¯am¡± she said and left hurriedly for the kitchen.

    Stephanie nced around the kitchen to ensure no one wasing. She reced the drugs with a new one she took out from her pockets.

    Her phone vibrated in her pockets, when she saw the caller her face brightened. ¡°Yes I did just as you instructed¡±

    Amelia sat beside Chloe stroking her hair gently, she closed the bedtime story book and was about to turn off the lights.

    She heard a knock on the door, thinking it was Liam she ignored it, it came again. ¡°Liam never knocks twice, that arrogant man¡± she huffed and walked towards the door.

    The new maid came in view with a ss of milk and her pills. ¡°Your mum sent this for you¡±

    Amelia smiled at her and was about to collect it but it was snatched away from her grip.

    ¡°I will take it from here you might leave now¡± Liam said dismissing the maid.

    Stephanie turned around and left the corridor, Liam stepped into the room pulling Amelia along with him.

    ¡°Here have this, I know you won¡¯t take the pills without a proper supervision so here I am!¡±

    Amelia threw her face to the other side feigning anger. ¡°Since you¡¯ve touched it I won¡¯t have any of it!¡±

    Liam ced the ss of milk on the table, he took one of the pills from it¡¯s container and pushed it into her mouth before handing her the ss of milk which she drank hurriedly to wash off the drug¡¯s bitter taste.

    ¡°There! that wasn¡¯t so bad¡± he turned towards the bed and smiled seeing the little devil finally asleep.

    ¡°Oh great! she is finally asleep now it¡¯s time to get our own sleep¡± hemented taking Amelia out but he was surprised when she suddenly sat on the floor to avoid being pulled by him.

 Chapter 104 _ The report

    Liam¡¯s brows collided as he stared down at his drama queen wife who refused to move from the floor. without wasting any much time he crotched down and lifted her up with him.

    ¡°You are still a child¡±

    Amelia ignored his words and folded her arm while he carried her out of the room..

    .

    Liamid her on one side of the bed and nted a quick kiss on her lips which she didn¡¯t react to. ¡°Good night and sweet dreams¡± he whispered teasingly into her ear.

    ¡°I¡¯m not interested in talking to you Mr Arrogant¡± she feigned anger.

    ¡°I wasn¡¯t doing that¡±

    ¡°Good!¡±

    She drew the duvet to cover her body, Liam shook his head and turned the lights off.

    ¡°How romantic of my so called husband, he knows well that I am upset and he didn¡¯t try to pacify me in any way¡±

    Liam arched a brow at her words, sometimes he finds it difficult to understand her.

    ¡°But you said¡­.

    ¡°Yeah I said that but as a husband you are supposed to know the right thing to do¡±

    ¡°You are crazy!¡±

    ..

    Liam raised his head in worry as he nced at the direction Amelia ran off to so suddenly.

    He got out of bed and headed into the bathroom to check up on her.

    ¡°Are you alright?¡± He asked worriedly holding her hair in ce.

    Amelia sshed some water on her face and raised her head upwards.

    ¡°I¡¯m feeling nauseous¡±

    She felt her stomach shift, and in the next moment she was throwing up again.

    Liam patted her back slowly ¡°I¡¯m sure your stomach is just reacting to something you ate¡±

    She sshed some more water to her face and wiped her face with a face towel.

    Liam led her back to the room and carefully tucked her back to bed.

    ¡°Have a rest I will get mum for you¡±

    She waved off the idea, her mum will just get worried for no good reason. She tried to think of something that she might have eaten that was reacting with her system but nothing wasing forth to her mind.

    ¡°Liam we will talk to her at dawn right now you have to get some sleep also¡±

    ¡°Alright¡±

    He whispered andid next to her, he ced an arm around her waist rubbing her tummy gently to ease her difort if there was any..

    ..

    Amelia folded her arm as her mum ran several test on her. ¡°Mum just get this over with I¡¯m starting to feel sick staying in this hospital¡±

    Cecile rolled her eyes ¡°You¡¯ve always been sick, we just have to be patient dear your test result will be out soon¡±

    Liam squeezed her hand slightly ¡°You don¡¯t have to be scared I¡¯m here¡±

    She nodded and rested her head on his arm, she wanted to leave as soon as possible. ¡°You are the best¡± she mumbled.

    Cecile had a never ending grin on her lips as she stared at the two, she prayed silently for her suspicion toe true..

    .

    A nurse walked into theboratory searching for Amelia¡¯s test result. She turned towards the monitor in front of her and ran her fingers for a while on the keyboard.

    She pulled off her nose mask and smiled, ¡°I told you very clearly Amelia that I won¡¯t rest till I destroy every thing you love¡±

    Jane wore back her mask when she heard footsteps approaching where she was.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡±.

    ¡°I came for the test results for Amelia Hart¡±

    Theb assistant walked over to the monitor ¡°The results will be out soon¡±

    ..

    .

    Anthony stepped out of his car and stared at the hospital in front of him. ¡°How long can you keep my daughter away from me Cecile?¡± he mumbled.

    Liam¡¯s phone beeped, he brought it out from his pocket and stared down at the screen. He stared around in search for Cecile.

    Amelia noticed his restless movement and raised her head from his arm to stare at his face. ¡°Is something wrong?¡±

    Liam forced a smile at her ¡°Not at all, I almost forgot that I had an important meeting,e on I will drop you off¡±

    Amelia held him back shaking her head, ¡°No Liam let¡¯s wait for my result it will be out soon after that we can leave¡± she concluded.

    Liam took a nce at her, how was he suppose to refuse her now? he didn¡¯t want Amelia to meet her dad since mum Cecile already entrusted him with this responsibility.

    ¡°Okay¡±

    ¡°Miss Hart your results are out!¡± a nurse suddenly appeared before them with a white envelope.

    Liam collected the envelope from the nurse, however it was pulled out of his grip the next minute by Amelia. ¡°Since this reports are mine I will read it first!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m the one to read it first don¡¯t try to argue with me¡±

    ¡°But it¡¯s my body not yours¡±

    Cecile¡¯s gaze narrowed at her troublesome daughter, she walked towards the two who were bickering and snatched the report from Amelia.

    ¡°Since you both are having a hard time choosing who reads the report first, why don¡¯t I go first¡±

    Amelia¡¯s lips twitched a bit, it was her report but they were fighting for it like it¡¯s their inheritance.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    ¡°Fine have it your way!¡±

    Cecile hurriedly tore open the envelope and read through it. Her brows creased as she read through.

    ¡°Mum tell us what does it say?¡±

    Cecile squeezed the report in her palm and ced it on Amelia¡¯s hand. ¡°Why don¡¯t you see for yourself!¡± Cecile mumbled irritably and left.

    Liam picked the report and straightened it for better view. He read through the contents and sighed.

    ¡°Liam what does it say?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯mte for a meeting¡± he said handing the report back to her.

    Amelia¡¯s hands shook slightly as she read through the report.

    ¡°no no this is not true Liam!¡± she called out running after him.

    Liam entered the car and signalled the driver to move, Amelia ran after his car but gave up as soon as it sped off.

    ¡°Liam hear me out!¡± she yelled out.

    Jane came out of the hospital putting on a ck hoodie and blonde wig to disguise herself.

    She smiled in victory on seeing Amelia¡¯s devastated condition.

    A car pulled over beside her, she entered the backseat and took off her wig.

    ¡°I¡¯ve done my part, make yours quick I need to be in the asylum before Liam finds out that I¡¯m gone¡±

    ..

    Amelia read the report again to check if she was seeing things but not even a single word changed from what she read earlier.

    ¡°Amelia¡±

    Nichs heart ached seeing her state, he suddenly pulled her into his arms tofort her.

    ¡°I¡¯m here now don¡¯t worry everything will be fine¡±

 Chapter 105_ Provoked

    Liam pushed open his door to his office which erupted a loud bang. His whole mood has gone sour after he read Amelia¡¯s report.

    His assistant came in panting slightly ¡°Boss the clients are here¡±

    Liam casted her a look of hatred which made her gulp down nervously. ¡°Get out!!!¡±

    She shuddered slightly by the firm and thunderous tone he used on her.

    Liam ran his hand through his hair releasing small gasps, his heart wasn¡¯t convinced that Amelia would do such a thing.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure there is a mistake somewhere, she can¡¯t possibly do anything of that sought¡± he mumbled beneath his breathe while pacing around..

    ..

    Nichs leaned forward to Amelia¡¯s ears and whispered softly into it. ¡°Everything will be okay Amelia¡±

    Amelia pulled away from him and stared at him as if disgusted by his presence.

    Nichs noticed her reaction and bowed his head in shame.

    ¡°I know that you are still mad at me for what happened but Amelia I can¡¯t bear to see you hurt this way¡±Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    Nichs stared at the car quite a distance away from them.

    He knew Jane was doing the second phase of the n and he had to make it believable.

    ¡°I have to leave now¡± Amelia announced and started walking away.

    ¡°Amelia at least tell me what is bothering you¡±

    Cecile rubbed her arm slightly, what her daughter did today was just uneptable. She saw a shadow looming around her and before she could speak a hand was ced over her mouth.

    ¡°I¡¯m here for my daughter and I know she is somewhere around here¡±

    Cecile pulled Anthony¡¯s hand away from her mouth forcefully. ¡°Who do you think you are to determine who my daughter stays with or not¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m her father, so you better tell me where she is now!¡±

    Cecile picked up her purse and hurried out, she didn¡¯t want anything to do with Anthony anymore and he won¡¯t be allowed to see Amelia no matter what!

    Anthony chased after her, he caught up with her and grabbed her arm yanking her into an empty ward in the hospital.

    ¡°You won¡¯t be able to get out of here without giving me an information about my daughter¡±

    Cecile scowled at him, how dare he address Amelia as his daughter? has he forgotten how much he maltreated her in the name of marriage?

    ¡°I¡¯m very sure that Amelia is not your only child why don¡¯t you go back to your numerous mistresses and demand your children from them and let me and my daughter be!¡±

    Anthony raised his hand to hit her but his hand was caught mid air by Cecile.

    ¡°Don¡¯t make that mistake Anthony! I¡¯m not that same weak Cecile who you treated like trash all those years ago if you try as much as to pull a strand of my hair I will surely make you regret it!¡±

    Cecile spat spitefully at him, a part of her enjoyed the different shades of red that crossed his face at that moment.

    Anthony¡¯s eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the woman in front of him, he really didn¡¯t think that she will be able to stand up for herself like she did just now.

    It seems she had changed a lot, the Cecile he knew would have been wailing by now.

    ¡°Spending your time with young men has managed to make you a little bit¡­..

    His face fell to the other side as soon as he was pped by her.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare make that filthy usation against me Anthony there¡¯s a clear difference between you and I and I can never stoop to your level¡±

    She ced her two palm together in a praying pose. ¡°And that¡¯s why I¡¯m asking you to stay far away from I and my daughter we don¡¯t need you in our lives anymore¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve openly challenged my power and authority Cecile¡±

    Cecile folded her arm throwing her head to the side ¡°Amelia is married and she is living with her husband so what makes you think that she would go with you? she is no longer a child for you to im, she is all grown up to make decisions for herself!¡±

    Cecile turned around and left the ward, she walked as fast as she could to leave the hospital..

    ..

    Amelia pushed the door to Liam¡¯s office with the assistant running after her. ¡°Ma¡¯am he doesn¡¯t want any guest!¡±

    Amelia stopped on her tracks when she spotted him sitting calmly behind his desk.

    ¡°Liam what do you think of yourself huh?¡±

    Liam closed his eyes facing the upwards, he was fighting hard to trust her but his mind and head were in conflicts at the moment.

    ¡°Amelia please don¡¯t make matter worse¡±

    ¡°Do you really think that i will terminate our child? is this the trust you have in me? I¡¯m telling you that the report was false, I was never pregnant to begin with!¡±

    ¡°And how do I believe that? you could have just told me that you weren¡¯t ready to have a child yet and I would have understood¡±

    Amelia walked around the long table to stand in front of him, he swirled his chair to the other side. Amelia swirled the chair back for him to face her.

    ¡°I once told you that we can have children once my ongoing movie shoot was over but you¡­..

    ¡°And that was the main reason you aborted my child? this doesn¡¯t seem like something you would do Amelia¡±

    Amelia¡¯s heart skipped a beat ¡°it¡¯s really sad to see that you have no trust in me¡±

    Liam banged his hand on the desk to keep her shut. ¡°All you care about is your career and nothing more! you badly wanted toplete your movie shoot that you chose to terminate my child!¡±

    Amelia threw a p to his face ¡°Keep quiet Liam and don¡¯t question my character I was never pregnant how could you think so low of me?¡±

    Liam drew in a deep breath, ¡°Please leave I don¡¯t want this to escte¡±

    ¡°Are you forgetting something Liam? we never conducted a pregnancy test so why did that resulte out? don¡¯t you find it fishy?¡±

    Liam stroked his chin softly, he doesn¡¯t know what to believe or not, his heart ached for doubting Amelia but the report was against her.

    ¡°I don¡¯t me you at all Liam but hearing you say those words to me hurt me deeply¡±

    Liam watched her leave his office, immediately she stepped out, he took out his phone.

    ¡°Find out about Amelia¡¯s report and get back to me as soon as possible¡±

    ..

    .

    Louisa embraced Amelia who was wailing her eyes out. ¡°Amy it¡¯s okay I¡¯m very sure that Mr Grayson would sought things out by himself¡±

    ¡°How can he do that when he himself doesn¡¯t believe me, he thinks that I terminated my pregnancy and I was never pregnant¡±

    Louisa sighed patting Amelia¡¯s back softly ¡°when did you be such a big baby? forget all that and think of a way to stop this false allegations¡±

    Amelia wiped her tears, as soon as she recalled something. ¡°I know who is responsible for all these, he has been nning for a long time on how to get rid of me and this is how he nned to do it but I won¡¯t spare him!¡±

    ¡°Who¡­.. who could that be?¡±

    ¡°Liam¡¯s grandfather! that oldie crossed the limit with me and I won¡¯t spare him¡±

    ..

    ¡°Boss we have some news about young miss report and we also managed to get this from the CCTV footage of the hospital¡±

    Liam collected the brown colored file from the man in front of him, he tore open the envelope impatiently and went through the contents which stated otherwise.

    ¡°y the footage¡± he ordered calmly stroking his chin.

 Chapter 106_ Ring of fire

    Liam¡¯s gaze narrowed at the screen when Nichs pulled Amelia in for a hug.

    ¡°Mum Cecile was the one who ran the test on Amelia but someone else tampered with the results find out who that was¡±

    His half brother has dug his own grave by touching his wife, he won¡¯t be spared this time..

    ..

    Louisa pulled the car in front of the apartment, and sighed. ¡°Are you sure you wanna do this?¡±

    The sound of the closing doors made her realize that Amelia was no longer in the car.

    ¡°Amy wait!¡± Louisa came out also and ran after Amelia.

    Angie ced the ss of wine on the table andughed out heartily. ¡°You made a very smart move father, that lousy actress will finally be out of our lives¡±

    Nichs sat up ¡°What? that was not in the n! the real n was to separate Amelia and Liam and then I can have her¡±

    ¡°Forget about her she won¡¯t be able to show her face to anyone once we leak the news online¡±

    Nichs stood up at once, he threw down his ss harshly on the floor. ¡°You both made a fool out of me! do you know how much I risked to perform that show? Liam can arrive any second and murder me!¡±

    Angie touched his arm caressing it lovingly. ¡°Honey you have no choice but to ept this truth some people are fond of using other people for their greedy desires and we have fallen a victim to that!¡±

    Angie smiled cornily staring at old Grayson, his greed will one day be the end of him. She had no other choice but to partner with him.

    ¡°An enemy of an enemy is always a friend, I followed that logic son and here we are¡±

    A loud bang was heard as the door shot open, a firm footstep was heard and in came ady, a very angry one.

    Amelia didn¡¯t miss the look of surprise and shock that crossed their faces.

    The trio stood up in unison as they saw thest person they wanted to see.

    ¡°Were you celebrating?¡± Amelia arched a brow and matched forward to them.

    She took the bottle of wine resting on the table and poured out a little into an empty ss.

    ¡°Let¡¯s drink to our satisfaction then! we finally got rid of her!¡± Amelia said mockingly taking a sip out of the ss.

    Old Grayson¡¯s teeth gnashed in anger, he should have known better that thisdy in front of him was just like a ck pigment on a white piece of clothing.

    She was just so impossible to get rid of, he dropped his ss on the table and walked towards her.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you think you are crossing the boundary? this is not your husband¡¯s property where you can stay in, get out before it¡¯s toote¡± he warned sternly.

    Amelia sneered at him, she took a step forward maintaining strict eye contact with him. Her hazel eyes flickered with murderous intent.

    ¡°Have you forgotten that my husband is so influential that I can get this cheap apartment with a snap of my fingers!¡±

    ¡°Listen to me you¡­.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare utter a word!¡± Amelia snapped at Angie.

    ¡°You messed with the wrongdy Mr Grayson because of you the family who held prestige has been smashed to bits just because of your cheap behavior and thirst for power¡±

    Louisa came into the room panting slightly, she had a little bit trouble keeping up with Amelia.

    ¡°You were just a passing cloud dear and now it¡¯s time for you to be up in the sky¡± old Grayson seconded.

    Nichs came forward to sought things out, he honestly didn¡¯t like where this was going. ¡°Amelia please there¡¯s really no need to¡­.

    ¡°I¡¯m the only one allowed to speak at the moment! if you want to help then you should start from your mum and tell her to keep her mouth in check!¡±

    Angie swallowed hard, she was so embarrassed of herself a youngdy like Amelia was speaking so rudely to her.

    She knew better to keep quiet or else she would be tortured.

    ¡°Get out of here while you can, don¡¯t make me embarrass you in front of the neighborhood¡±

    Amelia narrowed her eyes at the old man, she cursed loudly she didn¡¯t even know where exactly to start with him.

    ¡°I¡¯m not the one who will be embarrassed, you will be! everyone will finally know that you are amon civilian who worths nothing! so my advice is for you to keep mute for now!¡±

    Old Grayson red in anger, he had had enough of this sassydy. He raised his hand against her which froze mid air.

    ¡°Don¡¯t forget that she is not alone I¡¯m also here with her and if you try toy you wrinkly old hands on her I will drag you through hell!¡± Louisa said spitefully.

    ¡°You sly bitch let him go!¡± Nichs spat out in anger only to receive an unexpected p from Amelia.

    ¡°Keep that face hole of yours shut! you are still so blind to see what your mum and this oldie are up to! and Louisa? talk to her with respect¡±

    ¡°You tried to end my marriage with Liam but I¡¯ve told you countless times that you can only have I Amelia Grayson as your grand daughter inw¡± she continued.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    Old Grayson¡¯s eyes sparked with a different wave of emotions and anger, thisdy was biting more than she can chew and he knows the perfect person to handle her.

    Amelia walked towards a table where a bottle of alcoholid, she picked it up and uncorked it.

    She walked around them slowly, without their knowledge small drops of alcohol circled them dripping slowly from the bottle she was holding. ¡°I never knew I would be married into such a dramatic family as yours¡±

    ¡°But I have something to tell you old Grayson¡­ fall on your kneels and ask Liam for forgiveness or else you¡¯d be sorry!¡± she smirked at his sour face, how arrogant! it seems it runs in the blood.

    She stopped circling and threw down the bottle of alcohol merely bruising their feet.

    ¡°Have you lost your mind?!¡± Angie flew up in rage, the broken piece of bottle grased past her legs.

    Amelia grinned and shook her head ¡°No! but I¡¯m about to!¡± she brought out a lighter from her pants pocket and threw it down.

    The trios eyes widened in surprise as they were trapped in the ring of fire.

    ¡°Ah! quench it you witch!

 Chapter 107_ The lesson they deserved

    Amelia moved back a little away from the fire, she enjoyed watching the fear that crossed past their faces. She smirked as her eyes met old Grayson¡¯s grey orbs that were glowing in anger.

    ¡°This is only the beginning Mr Grayson, you will watch your apartment burn out in front of you and you won¡¯t be able to move from that spot!¡± she scorned and turned around to leave.

    ¡°You thought this was our initial n? we only did that to nt a doubt in Liam¡¯s mind but brace yourself dear you will soon face the bigger one¡±

    Amelia gritted her teeth in anger, herst shred of sanity was broken. She walked towards the table and grabbed another bottle.

    Louisa held her back taking her out of the apartment.

    ¡°Let go of me!! that oldie deserves to die!¡± she screamed out frantically pushing and scratching Louisa.

    Louisa closed her eyes and threw a p at Amelia to bring her back to her right mind.

    Amelia released a breath ¡°Thanks I really needed that! we¡¯ve done enough¡±

    ..

    Brianna closed the magazine she was reading when Cecile strode in hurriedly.

    ¡°Umm.. Cecile¡± she called out, Cecile stopped and turned to the direction of Brianna.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry I didn¡¯t see you there¡± she apologized walking towards the woman on the wheelchair.

    ¡°You look so furious¡±

    Cecile ran her fingers softly at her hair and released a sigh. She didn¡¯t know if she should tell Brianna about what her silly daughter did, she also had every right to know since it concerned her son too.

    ¡°I had a very hectic day at the hospital today¡± she lied.

    Brianna sighed in relief ¡°So how did the test go? should we be expecting some good news?¡±

    Brianna¡¯s face glowed in excitement which made it hard for Cecile to speak the truth.

    ¡°I need to check something I will be back¡±

    Her ex husband and daughter has made her so mad today.

    Stephanie came into the living room to meet the strange woman present there.

    Brianna gasped softly, no one was supposed to see her except the trusted servants who had worked with Liam for some years.

    ¡°What are you doing in the main building? the servants quarters is at the other side¡±

    Stephanie gulped down, was she seeing things now thisdy had a striking resemnce to thete Mrs of the Grayson¡¯s.

    ¡°You¡­ are¡­

    Stephanie stuttered pointing at Brianna in fright ¡°Ghost!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not a ghost you idiot! I¡¯m Liam¡¯s aunt not his dead mum, now go back to the servant quarters¡±

    Stephanie scurried away holding her chest, she stopped at the corridor and took ast nce at the woman.

    ¡°Liam¡¯s mum died years ago I¡¯m sure she must be telling the truth¡±

    ..

    ra brought her hand forward and touched Dn¡¯s fisted hand that was resting on hisps.

    ¡°I¡¯m ady but I¡¯m not so down like you, please smile at least once¡±

    Dn released a breath, he hated himself so much for ever being a yboy. Louisa didn¡¯t want to have anything to do with him because of this stigma.

    ¡°Do you know how it feels for someone who you love to misjudge you even after you¡¯ve changed your old habits?¡±

    ra nodded ¡°I know how it feels Dn, I met Karl at a brothel where I once used to entertain different men but he took me out of that filthy and disgusting world¡±

    ¡°And?¡± Dn asked obviously piqued, looking at her alone one wouldn¡¯t know that she was once a slut, she looked like a rich heiress.

    ¡°Karl gave me everything I wanted but I never knew that it was as a result of pity, I thought he loved me, he constantly reminded me of the favor he did for me¡±

    Dn was disheartened by her revtion, he squeezed her hand softly.

    ¡°I will promise you one thing ra¡±

    ra¡¯s eyes shone in anticipation. ¡°What? tell me!¡± she requested eagerly.

    ¡°I will make Karl crawl on his kneels to have you back in his life, that¡¯s a promise!¡± he dered to see her smile.

    ¡°And I will help you get Louisa no matter what it takes¡±

    Dn smirked, he didn¡¯t believe that would be possible any more given the present situation.

    ¡°Don¡¯t bother, I guess this was an eye opener for me to never toy with ady¡¯s feelings and I¡¯ve learnt my lesson¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t kill your feelings like a coward try telling her first and hear her response¡±

    Dn bowed his head, he just can¡¯t go through that same pain ever again. His phone rang on the pic table.

    He stared at the caller id, he wondered what Liam wants right now.

    ¡°Hey buddy!¡± he greeted with a hint of boredom in his tone.

    ¡°I need you back in the city as soon as possible it¡¯s urgent¡±

    ¡°Liam don¡¯t track my location bye!¡± he ended the call hurriedly. Thest thing he wanted was for anyone to know his hideout.

    ¡°You are a weird guy, how I wished to receive calls from my friends too but I don¡¯t have any except Karl¡±

    ¡°Well you have me now¡± he grinned, ra chuckled and shook hands with him.

    ¡°Yeah friends!¡±

    ..

    A chair was thrown across the room, the henchmen present in the room trembled slightly. ¡°What do you mean by¡­. you can¡¯t find her? it¡¯s not like she¡¯s a spirit topletely disappear from the surface of the earth!¡±

    Karl barked in anger and sat down on the sofa in the room, he pulled out a stick of cigarette from the box lying on the marbled table, he lit it up and took in a long drag.

    He released the smoke slowly which clouded his bloodshot eyes.

    ¡°Find her soon or else you will have me to contend with¡±

    ¡°Yes boss!¡±This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    His men left the room leaving him alone, ¡°You can¡¯t go away from me ra you owe me your life!¡±

    Karl heard a firm footstep approaching him, he nced back to meet thest person he wanted to see.

    ¡°You!¡±

    ¡°You and your sister has made me look like a fool on several asions, I¡¯ve been frantically running around looking for Amelia while you on the other hand refused toe with me¡±

    Karl stood up and turned to his father ¡°You really want us back into your life?¡±

    Anthony nodded ¡°Yes! son¡±

    ¡°I have a condition¡± karl said with a nted smile, he threw down the cigarette and stepped on it.

    ¡°I will do anything to have you both in my life¡±

    ¡°Really? okay how about you walk on the sun! if you can do that I will happily go home with you!¡± Karl scorned mockingly and started walking away.

    ¡°I left your mum because she was having an affair with my best friend¡±

    Karl froze for a while and turned back to Anthony. ¡°She did? and what of aunt Cecile? did she also have an affair? and I heard that you got married again after your divorce with aunt Cecile¡±

    ¡°What are you trying to prove here?¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t know how rtionships works Mr Hart and you can¡¯t keep them either¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not true Karl¡±

    Karl tilted his head his head to the side ¡°Prove it!¡±

 Chapter 108_ I was wrong

    Liam stared at the closed door in front of him, he had been standing there for a while now, he doesn¡¯t know how to face Amelia after he used her wrongly.

    He mustered enough courage and pushed the door open.

    ¡°Where have you been dear I¡¯ve been waiting for youe over here I¡¯m in the closet¡±

    Liam was taken aback, why does she sound so cool? like nothing happened. He walked slowly towards the closet and saw her fiddling with the buttons on her dress.

    ¡°Good thing you are here, please help me with this¡±

    Amelia smelt Liam¡¯s familiar masculine scent and turned sharply to him in surprise.

    ¡± You?¡±

    Liam smiled awkwardly, why was she so surprised? she was the one who asked him toe here.

    ¡°Yes me!¡±

    Amelia walked past him and left the closet, thest thing she wanted to do now was to talk to him. she was still mad at him for using her of such a heinous crime.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be under the impression that I was happy to see you, I sent for Chloe¡± she rified walking towards the mirror she removed all the pins holding her hair.

    ¡°Amelia¡­.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    ¡°There¡¯s really nothing left for you to say Liam, I need to get some sleep today has been so stressful and I don¡¯t want to wake upte for my early morning shoot¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry I was very wrong for saying all those hurtful things to you¡±

    Amelia ignored him and walked towards the bed, he watched hery down on one side of the bed pulling the whole duvet to herself.

    He let out a small gasp, he messed up big time and he had to atone for it or he will be the one to suffer.

    There was a small bang on the door before it was pushed open.

    ¡°Amy!!!!¡±

    Amelia sprang up immediately hearing the little girl¡¯s scream, she hopped down from the bed. ¡°What is the matter sweetie?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s a monster under my bed¡± she cried out pointing towards the direction of the door.

    Liam pulled off his tie staring at the little girl who just came in.

    ¡°I hope it eats you up¡± he sarcastically said and walked away.

    Amelia patted Chloe¡¯s back slowly ¡°Sweetheart you are being super dramatic, there is no thing such as monsters¡±

    Chloe shook her head in denial, she pulled Amelia towards the bed.

    ¡°I will sleep here, my room is scary a monster is hiding in there¡±

    Amelia lifted Chloe up to the huge mattress and tucked her in before joining her..

    .

    Liam came out from the washroom and creased his brow. Chloe was going to sleep with them tonight?. He reluctantly moved to the bed andid at the other end.

    She suddenly turned smacking him in the face in the process. Liam sat up and felt like strangling her, he nced at Amelia who was fast asleep while this little leech was glued to his wife like a second skin.

    He sighed andid back, he recalled what caused this whole drama in the first ce. Someone deliberately changed Amelia¡¯s report but what would he or she gain by doing so?

    ..

    .

    Amelia snuggled close to the warm body next to her, a smile adorned her lips as she woke up but it fell as soon as she saw Liam next to her and Chloe? she was nowhere to be found on the bed.

    ¡°Liam!¡± Amelia called out pounding him continuously.

    ¡°Wake up.. wake up!!¡±

    Liam released a groan, he sluggishly opened his eyes.

    ¡°What?¡± he asked rubbing his eyes slowly.

    ¡°Where is Chloe?¡±

    Liam itched his head and pointed downward ¡°She must be somewhere around here¡±

    Amelia gasped and hurried down, she spotted Chloe sprawled on the floor. She snapped her head to Liam. ¡°Have you lost it? she could have gotten a cold¡±

    Liam sneered ¡°Is she still breathing? if yes well I guess my n failed¡± he said boredly and returned back to continue his sleep.

    She picked Chloe up andid her back on the bed, Amelia¡¯s eyes narrowed at Liam¡¯s sleeping face, she pulled his legs and yanked him off the bed.

    He fell with a heavy thud groaning slightly ¡°What was that for?¡±

    ¡°You are heartless for doing such a silly thing to a child¡±

    Liam wilthed in pain which drew a line of worry on Amelia¡¯s face. she really didn¡¯t mean to push him that hard.

    ¡°Liam are you alright?¡± she crotched down checking for any visible injuries.

    Liam took her hand and ced it on his chest ¡°I hurt everywhere but I hurt here the most¡±

    Amelia threw her face to the other side, she won¡¯t forgive him so easily.

    ¡°I was wrong and I admit it please don¡¯t be mad at me for so long I can¡¯t bear it for a few hours and I don¡¯t want this tost up to days I might die¡­.

    She ced her palm over his lips to stop him from speaking. ¡°Don¡¯t say such things¡­.

    Liam¡¯s face brightened she had forgiven him but after hearing the word that came out from her lips his whole face turned sour.

    ¡°Save it for the hospital, at least people say theirst wishes over there before giving up the ghost¡± She said with sarcasm and walked away from him.

    ¡°I won¡¯t forgive you so easily Liam¡± she added..

    .

    The door to Louisa apartment pushed open as ady walked in.

    Louisa got up at once, she recognized her to be Olivia¡¯s best friend Luciana but what was she doing here so early at her home.

    ¡°The least you could do is to knock¡± Louisa politely jested.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to ruin my beautiful hands by knocking on your wretched door, I had different contemtions before I decided to step into this mouse hole you call apartment!¡± Luciana scorned.

    Louisa was taken aback, that was rude and harsh and what makes her think that she could juste into her home unannounced and speak rudely to her.

    ¡°Excuse me?¡±

    ¡°Even with your absence Dn¡¯s life, he still looks miserable while you are busy enjoying your life to the fullest¡±

    Luciana said ncing at the bowl of chips and dip on the wooden table.

    ¡°Are you here to talk about Dn? if yes, I would suggest you leave because I know nothing about his whereabouts¡±

    ¡°why did you say yes to him when you know well enough that you love another guy?¡±

    ¡°I think it¡¯s time for you to leave!¡± Louisa seconded.

 Chapter 109_ Mistaken

    Luciana¡¯s hands clenched into a fist by her side, this cheapdy was asking her to leave but she was only getting started.

    ¡°I¡¯m not done with you yet!¡±

    ¡°And I¡¯m not interested in hearing you out, leave before I loose my cool¡±

    Luciana nudged Louisa¡¯s shoulder pushing her backwards.¡± So? will you hit me?e on do it if you have the guts! because of your gigantic ego Dn ran away from his family¡±

    Louisa held the table behind her for support ¡°are you one of his numerous things or are you just perhaps thedy who has a one sided love for him?¡±Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    ¡°How dare you¡­..

    ¡°Please don¡¯t shout! you are in my home¡± Louisa scolded..

    .

    Liam and Cecile exchanged nces as they both stared at Amelia who was sitting at the farther end of the dining table with Chloe.

    ¡°She is still upset about yesterday¡¯s event¡±

    Cecile rolled her eyes, ¡°So? we are the ones to be upset not her¡±

    ¡°The report we saw was a fake one someone tampered with it and I¡¯ve been trying to talk to her but she is¡­. ¡± he sighed while Cecile massaged his shoulders gently.

    ¡°Oh boy! that exins everything¡±

    Amelia narrowed her eyes at them, they were whispering amongst themselves giving her zero attention which she needed now.

    ¡°Big sis I¡¯m full, can we leave now?¡± Chloe spoke out tugging Amelia¡¯s dress.

    ¡°Yeah sure baby¡±

    Tina wheeled Brianna into the dining room ¡°I¡¯m sorry I camete¡± she apologized pulling Liam towards her.

    She nted a kiss on his left cheek and in the meantime a brief kissnded on his right cheek.

    ¡°Bye big bro¡± Chloe chuckled waving at him which only made Liam more upset.

    ¡°Awwn she is so sweet, what do you think Liam?¡± Cecile squealed out.

    Liam forced a smile ¡°Yes! she is the sweetest kid I have ever met¡± he spoke through gritted teeth. Everyone else sees her cute side but all he could see was a devil in disguise.

    ¡°Bye mum Brianna don¡¯t wait for me sote I will have a sleepover tonight¡±

    She announced and started walking away immediately, she knew Liam must be curious and disturbed which was exactly what she wanted.

    ¡°Sleep over? but why? and for what?¡± Liam mumbled loudly.

    Amelia got into the car with Chloe who was endlessly talking about her new best friend at school.

    ¡°I share my lunch with her because she likes yummy dishes¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you a sweetheart?¡±

    ¡°big sis my schoolpetitions ising up¡±

    Amelia buckled her seat belt and rxed on the seat.¡± Wow so what type ofpetition is it?¡±

    Chloe turned to her in surprise ¡± You are interested in it?¡±

    ¡°Yeah why did you sound so surprised?¡± Amelia curiously asked.

    ¡°Whenever I tell my mum or bro nick they ignore me¡±

    Amelia nted a soft kiss on her head, this little girl has gone through a lot in the hands of her witch mother and crazy brothers. None of them seemed to care about her little desires and needs.

    ¡°Well sweetie I¡¯m here now so you can tell me anything you want¡±

    Amelia saw Liam walking hurriedly towards the car, she put on her dark sunsses and stared ahead.

    The driver started the car and was moving slowly when Liam appeared in front of the car.

    ¡°What the heck?!¡±

    Amelia winded down the windshield and popped her head out. ¡°If you want tomit suicide don¡¯t try that in front of my car, there are many highways in the city try going there next time!¡± she scolded.

    Liam walked over to the side of the car and bent a little. ¡°You didn¡¯t bid me good bye or said anything to me¡±

    ¡°Well isn¡¯t it obvious? I¡¯m clearly mad at you and mum¡±

    ¡°For how long?¡±

    Amelia pulled her sunsses to rest on the bridge of her nose.¡± As long as it wants tost!¡±

    ¡°Big bro we are runningte please move away¡± Chloe seconded.

    Liam casted a brief nce before his gaze rested at his angry wife.¡± I will make a promise to you my dearest wife that by the end of today you will forgive me¡±

    Amelia rolled her eyes ¡± Let¡¯s wait and see then! since I¡¯m not returning home tonight you won¡¯t get a chance!¡±

    ¡°By the end of the day you will be in my arms begging me not to let you go¡±

    ¡°what are you waiting for? our wedding?¡± she yelled irritably at the nosy driver.

    She turned towards Liam again ¡°I guess your time starts now!¡±

    Liam watched the car slowly leave till it vanished from his sight..

    ..

    Nichs groaned in pain as his mum dressed his injuries which he sustained from the fire yesterday.

    ¡°Mum be careful it hurts a lot!¡± he yelled at her, Angie pressed the cotton swab on his injury which earned another groan from him.

    ¡°Does it hurt that much? well I¡¯m also hurt because I have a stupid son! thedy you love so much did this to you!¡±

    Mark sneered at them, he has promised never to get himself into their affairs anymore. His daughter inw did the right thing.

    ¡°And you! you¡¯ve been listening to our conversation for a while now won¡¯t you do anything? can¡¯t you see that our son is in pain because of actress?¡±

    Mark brought down the newspaper he was reading, ¡°was I included in the ns you three made? or was I the one who set the apartment on fire? why won¡¯t you let Liam be? that kid has been through enough already! ¡±

    ¡°are you scared of Liam dad? you were the one who willed everything we ever own to his bloody name! I can¡¯t even roll with my friends anymore¡±

    ¡°Liam hasn¡¯t even made any move against us in weeks only his wife managed to put you three to your ces, you have no idea of how happy I am to see you all in this state!¡±

    Old Grayson got up walking to his son ¡°I dare you to repeat that again!¡±

    ¡°Father you brought yourself too low because you wanted everything within your reach, look at what it costed you! and I will say this one more time seeing your current state has brought me so much joy¡±

    Mark¡¯s face fell to the other side after he was pt hard by his father. ¡°Is that all you¡¯ve got?¡± he scorned.

    Mark held old Grayson¡¯s hand hitting his face with it. ¡°Come on give me more! but the truth still remains the same you are greedy and selfish! what were you thinking when you killed your wife and my own wife? you threw Liam out of his rightful home and now you are turning two brothers against each other!¡±

    ¡°What have you gained so far? huh? tell me I deserve to know!¡±

    ¡°Be quiet mark!¡± Angie screamed out, she ced the first aid kit on Nichsps and walked towards the father and son.

    ¡°You love questioning people don¡¯t you? and who is this person you love defending so much? oh wait! Liam, that son of a b*tch!¡­¡­

    Angie held her face in shock as she stared at mark in disbelief.

    ¡°Mum!¡± Nichs called out.

    ¡°I have warned you countless times never to drag Brianna into our matters!¡±

    ¡°You pt me because of that witch who is six feet under the ground? you still love her that much?¡±

    Mark¡¯s chest heaved in anger ¡°nobody not even you can take her ce in my heart¡±

    The shadow that has been lurking around the corridor for a while now turned around and left.

 Chapter 110_ An accident

    A murderous look passed Angie¡¯s eyes, all these years she had always believed that mark loved her but she was wrong he clearly still loves that witch.

    ¡°Mark you¡¯ve disrespected me today and I¡¯m very hurt¡± old Grayson said helping himself to a wooden chair in the almost burnt out apartment.

    ¡°You feel hurt? I thought you were a stone! stones don¡¯t have feelings, do you know how hurt I felt after learning about all the treacherous things you did?¡±

    Nichs knuckles turned white as they were folded into fist balls.¡±dad you raised your hands against my mum which wasn¡¯t right!¡±

    ¡°And what you are doing to Liam is right? Answer me!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯tpare me to Liam he is nothing like me!¡± Nichs yelled.

    ¡°And don¡¯t you forget that! you can never be Liam and you would never be! you are just a product of a very big mistake I made years ago¡±

    Angie gasped in shock and pushed mark harshly which made him slipped and hit his head on the marbled floor..

    ..

    Mark was rushed into the hospital ward by the paramedics. Old Grayson turned sharply to Angie. ¡°if anything happens to my son! you will pay dearly for it!¡± he threatened.

    ¡°it¡­ was an ident father I didn¡¯t mean to do that!¡± she whimpered.

    She prayed silently for mark to be alright, she didn¡¯t want to go to jail for murder since they were no longer influential anymore.

    Liam fondled with his pen with his face facing the ceilings. He was in a deep thought when his phone rang, he raised it to his ear as soon as he heard the next word he sat up on his seat.

    ¡°What?¡±

    He hung up the call and grabbed his coat hurrying out of his office..

    .

    Amelia epted the ss of water from Chelsea while walking towards kelvin. It¡¯s been so long since she saw him or spoke with him, he saw her approaching his way and smiled at her which she returned.

    She handed the ss of water to Chelsea and briefly shook hands with him.

    ¡°Oh my! Amelia I thought you¡¯ve forgotten about me because of your husband¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t forget good people kelvin and by the way you are among them¡± she let out a toothy smile and punched him lightly.

    ¡°Amy!¡±

    Amelia froze for a while hearing the familiar male voice who just called out her name.

    She slowly turned and before she could react, he pulled her into his embrace.

    ¡°D.. ad?¡± she stuttered trying to catch her breathe, her beloved dad was here with her now.

    Anthony pulled away from the hug and nted small kisses on her cheeks.

    ¡°My little Amy is all grown up¡±

    Amelia embraced him once again and that was when she noticed Karl¡¯s presence.

    He avoided her gaze and turned away from the lovey dovey scene between the father and daughter.

    ¡°Dad where have you been all these years? I missed you so much!¡± she cried out staring at his face.

    Kelvin and Chelsea excused themselves since this was a family moment.

    Anthony took her hands in his and led her out of the building. ¡°I will exin everything to you¡±

    Karl sipped his juice slowly staring at the two before him. He once had a dream like this to be close to his father but that dream was shattered years ago.

    ¡°I know you have a lot of questions dear and I promise to answer it all for you¡±

    ¡°Why did you leave us like that? I was very hurt when you left mum and I it was the most devastating years of my life¡±

    Anthony squeezed her hands ¡°I never left you¡­ infact you were taken away by your mum¡±

    ¡°What? mum would never lie to me dad¡±

    ¡°So you think I will lie?¡±

    Karl rolled his eyes and snorted, lying was his nature which made his question extremely ridiculous.

    Amelia stared at Karl for a brief second and then to her dad.

    ¡°You¡¯ve lied once before, if you had said the truth years ago I would have had a big brother who will love me so much and spoil me a lot¡±

    Karl raised a brow, he didn¡¯t want to be here, he just doesn¡¯t have enough courage to face his half sister after what he did to her in the past.

    Anthony ced his hand on his head covered with ck and gray hair. ¡°I swear on my life that I didn¡¯t abandon you, your mum took you away from me¡±

    Amelia gasped softly, so her mum has been lying to her all these years about her dad?.

    ¡°So if this show is about you both why am I here?¡± Karl questioned.

    ¡°I need my children back¡±

    Karl¡¯s mouth twitched, he nced briefly at Anthony ¡°How many times will I repeat this same thing to you? I don¡¯t want to have a father anymore!¡±

    Amelia suddenly stood up and left the restaurant in anger..

    The beeping sounds from the machines and devices attached to mark¡¯s body was heard. The door opened as a tall figure loomed over him.

    His head was covered with a bandage, heshes fluttered open after feeling the presence of another person in the ward.

    ¡°Please don¡¯t kill me this way!¡± he panicked trying to move.

    Liam sat down next to him on the bed and took his dad¡¯s hands in his.

    ¡°I will ask only one question which you would provide an answer to! was this an ident or was it intentional?¡±

    Mark¡¯s eyes rounded in shock, was this Liam? or was his sight affected after the fall.

    ¡°Who pushed you down? and don¡¯t think about lying to me¡±

    ¡°Angie¡±

    He came out of the ward and made a quick phone call. He was about to leave when he heard his name.

    ¡°Liam!¡±

    He turned around to meet his grandfather¡¯s eyes ¡°Add a little respect when addressing me we are no longer in the same status or ss anymore!¡±

    ¡°your father is lying in that hospital bed because of you! You should be lucky that he didn¡¯t suffer any internal injury¡±

    Liam¡¯s lips parted slightly, how was this his fault? ¡°This was the same way you made me believe that my dad was the one who killed my mum¡±

    Old Grayson lifted a brow, did he hear wrong? or did Liam just address mark as his father?.

    ¡°You suddenly ept him as your father?¡±

    ¡°He has always been a father to me but you didn¡¯t let me see the good in him, you instigated me against my own dad all these years! now I finally know what the truth is!¡±.

 Chapter 111_ Toy with my feelingsâ€¦..

    Old Grayson stared back at Liam once more, what truth was Liam talking about?.

    ¡°Don¡¯t stress your weak brain thinking about how I figured it out after all I¡¯m Liam Grayson¡±

    Liam casted a hateful gaze at his grandfather and left. He felt so ashamed of himself after what he heard today.

    Earlier today he went to the apartment they were currently staying at to mock them because of the damage his wife did, but he was shocked by what he heard.

    His guards saw himing out of the hospital and opened the car¡¯s door for him, after he got in he signalled the driver to move..

    .

    Nichs stopped by therge closet in the room when he heard whimpering soundsing from it.

    He opened the door to find his mum rolled up in it, muffling her cries.

    ¡°Mum!¡±

    He helped her out of the closet and guided her to sit, Angie held unto Nichs tightly refusing to let go of his arm.

    ¡°What is wrong? tell me¡± he worriedly asked pushing her loosed hair behind her ears.

    ¡°If he dies your grandfather will send me to jail, I don¡¯t want to go to that horrible ce¡± she choked out in tears.

    She stood immediately and walked to the closet packing all clothes into a small luggage.

    ¡°Nick hurry up and get your things let¡¯s leave this country, we will start our lives afresh¡±

    Nichs grabbed her shoulder to put her in ce, ¡°mum put yourself together! nothing will happen to father so stop all these¡± he sighed throwing down the clothes she was holding.

    ¡°We¡¯vee a long way to back out now, and besides even if he dies Liam wouldn¡¯t even budge and as for grandfather he won¡¯t be able to do anything, remember we still have that file which proves that he murdered his wife and aunt Brianna?¡±

    Angie wiped her tears after hearing what her son said, it was true though, old Grayson would be the one dancing to her tunes. How could she have forgotten such an important detail?

    She pulled Nichs into her embrace ¡°I love you so much my dear boy¡±

    She pulled back nting small kisses on his face, Nichs held her back with a smile.¡±alright it¡¯s enough mum you are embarrassing me, I¡¯m no longer a child¡±

    ¡°You will always be my child¡±

    ..

    Amelia walked angrily into the living room, Brianna gasped In surprise seeing her back so early.

    ¡°Dear you are back so early¡±

    Brianna dismissed Tina who was massaging her legs.

    ¡°Where is my mum?¡± she calmly asked.

    ¡°Oh! there she is!¡± Brianna pointed to Cecile¡¯s direction.

    Cecile smiled a little, her daughter was finally interested in talking to her, she knew Amelia wouldn¡¯t stay upset with her that long.

    ¡°Well¡­ look who finally decided to speak to me first¡± Cecile teased only to receive a re from Amelia.

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe that you would actually toy with my feelings this way¡±

    Both Brianna and Cecile raised a brow, Cecile sighed and walked towards Amelia.

    ¡°You know I would never toy with your feelings so tell me what I did to warrant such a look from you¡±

    Amelia shook her head slowly. ¡°Did dad really leave us or did you take me away from him?¡±

    Amelia watched the color drain from Cecile¡¯s face, ¡°W.. what kind of¡­. question is that dear?¡­. you know the truth¡­..¡±

    ¡°The truth?¡± Amelia butted in.

    Cecile sighed and turned away, she walked towards a couch and sat down.

    ¡°Alright fine! I took you away from your dad but I have a valid reason for doing that¡± Cecile defended.

    What she was scared of all these years finally happened, she was scared of Amelia¡¯s question once she found out that her dad didn¡¯t really abandon her like she believed.

    ¡°What is going on?¡± Brianna asked.

    Amelia sighed and turned to Brianna ¡°My parents had a divorce when I was eight, I had no idea that the judge gave me a choice to choose which of them that I can stay with!¡±

    ¡°My mum took me far away and imed that my dad abandoned us¡±

    Brianna nced briefly at Cecile who was already at the verge of tears.

    Cecile rose up from her seat ¡°I had to take you away because I knew that you would choose your dad over me, I knew how much you love him and thinking about that made me loose my mind that I had no other choice than to run away with you¡± Cecile sniffed back.

    ¡°You think I did the wrong thing? I was only concerned about your happiness what if you ended up with an evil step mom after you choose to go with him?¡±

    Brianna sighed, she and Cecile had simr problems in their marital life, but her¡¯s was worse, her own family hates her so much that they chose to get rid of her.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    ¡°Mum!¡­

    ¡± It¡¯s okay, you can choose to stay with him now if you want!¡±

    Amelia rolled her eyes, her mum was such a drama queen. ¡®Was is really necessary to emotionally ckmail me?¡¯ she thought

    She crotched in front of her mum holding her hands. ¡°When will you stop being dramatic? I was hurt when I found out about this from dad today at least you could have told me the truth¡±

    ¡°I couldn¡¯t risk it¡±

    Amelia narrowed her eyes at her mum who was still feigning her tears. ¡°And who told you that I will choose to go with dad? just because I¡¯m a little clingy to him doesn¡¯t make him my best parent¡±

    Cecile embraced Amelia warmly, hearing her say that meant a lot to her.

    Brianna wiped her tears sniffing back which diverted their attention.

    ¡°Ohe on! I can¡¯t have two dramatic mums!¡± Amelia scolded..

    .

    Louisa nced at the door again, why won¡¯t people let her be? she hoped it wasn¡¯t that pickle Luciana.

    She unlocked the door and instantly regretted it, she touched her head in anger, she could feel a headacheing soon.

    James nced briefly at Steven and before Louisa could understand anything, they carried her out hurriedly.

    Louisa folded her arm staring at the two, they brought her to an hotel and they¡¯ve been staring at her like dummies for a while.

    ¡°Will you speak? or should I force you both?¡± Louisa barked angrily.

    ¡°Hey listen! we are not Dn who tolerates your bad manners so speak to us with some respect¡± James shunned.

    Louisa burst out intoughter as if he just dropped a joke. ¡°Respect you say? and what makes you think that you worth my respect? tell me why I¡¯m here or you¡¯ll kiss your two front teeth good bye!¡±

    James and Steven unconsciously touched their mouths, what would they be like without their two front teeth?

    ¡°We still deserve an inch of it and we brought you here to show you a wonderful surprise¡±

    James ced a box of tissue on Louisa¡¯s hands and shrugged. ¡°You might need this¡±

    Louisa nced briefly at the two and wondered what they were up to, soon after she could hear two people¡¯sughter she recognized it to be a male and a female¡¯s voice.

    Blood drained away from her face as soon as they came into view.

    Jake was with ady which she recognized to be his secretary. He nced briefly at her and smirked.

    ¡°Oh you are here! and that too with two guys!¡± he scorned wrapping his hands around the otherdy¡¯s waist.

    Louisa blinked back the tears that were about to fall. ¡°You told me that she was just your secretary and nothing more!¡±

    ¡°Hey! don¡¯t shout, Dn is also your boss am I right? don¡¯t try to judge me¡± he seconded.

    James held Louisa¡¯s shoulder and faced Jake and his new chick. ¡°Well Mr Jake I believe you¡¯ve been cheating on our dear sister-inw for a while now¡±

    ¡°And what about it?¡± thedy butted in, she walked towards James and pushed his shoulder lightly.

    ¡°Did you expect him to stay with this thing for so long? oh my! I wonder what wealthy guys like you are doing with a piece of sh*t like her¡±

    Kelvin sat still in the car staring at the other car that just blocked his path.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    He saw the other driver step out and he followed suite.

    His brows creased in worry as the man he saw earlier with Amelia stepped out.

    Anthony smiled at him which he found corky, he also returned the smile.

    ¡°Going so soon without saying hello to your father inw?¡±

    Kelvin raised a brow ¡®Father inw?¡¯ he asked himself till it dawned on him.

    ¡°No no no Mr Hart ¡­..

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to be shy!¡± Anthonymented pulling him into his embrace, he patted Kelvin¡¯s back and pulled off holding his shoulder.

    ¡°My daughter is so lucky to have found you¡± Anthony added.

    ¡°Mr Hart Amelia isn¡¯t¡­¡­.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to exin anything, I know it was a shotgun wedding you both had but I¡¯m here now to make it grand and the talk of the town¡±

    ¡°Mr Hart listen¡­.

    Anthony raised his hand to keep him quiet ¡°Mr Hart? you can call me dad, stop acting so formal¡±

    Kelvin breathed out, this man thinks he is married to Amelia, if Mr Grayson gets a whiff about it¡­..

    ¡°I know certain reasons might have led you to think that Amelia and I are a couple but I¡¯m sorry to say that you are very wrong!¡±

    Anthony¡¯s brow drew together ¡°Are you denying my daughter in my presence?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m speaking the truth as a matter of fact she is married to¡­.¡±

    ¡°To?¡± Anthony inquired, he was disappointed to find out that such a wless guy like him wasn¡¯t Married to his Amy.

    ¡°I¡¯m¡­. also not sure Mr Hart¡± kelvin shrugged and began walking away. He drew in a deep breath, thank goodness that he stopped himself from spilling out everything.

    Amelia only told him because she trusted him a lot and he believed that she didn¡¯t want to announce it to the world yet..

    ..

    Alexa turned angrily to Louisa who just spoke ¡°And even the b*tch too speaks!¡± she scorned with a grin on her lips.

    ¡°You can¡¯t even keep your hole in ce that you chose toe here with two guys!¡±

    A deafening sound echoed in the hotel¡¯s lobby, Alexa held her cheek as she stared at Louisa in anger.

    ¡°Louisa!¡± Jake yelled at Louisa only to receive a re.

    ¡°Don¡¯t call my name with your filthy mouth Jake! you have no idea how much I fought with Dn for your sake, he tried to warn me but I never paid heed to him, I never gave him a chance, I was so blinded to see what the truth was¡±

    Jake smirked ¡°Well too bad for you because I heard that your supposed fiance ran away from you doesn¡¯t that say something?¡±

    James threw a punch directly at his face, heunched another attack but was held back by Steven.

    ¡°Let it go dude! he doesn¡¯t worth it¡± Steven said patting James chest slowly.

    Louisa turned around and left the hotel, James nced at Jake. ¡°You will hear from me very soon!¡±

    James pulled Louisa out of the cab she boarded, he took out a bill from his wallet and handed it to the driver.

    ¡°You can go¡± he muttered to see the cab leave before he turned to louisa.

    ¡°Do you finally see what Dn was trying to warn you about? he tried his best and what did he get in return?¡±

    Louisa stifled her cries avoiding eye contact with them.

    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry¡­ I¡­. am such an idiot!¡±

    ¡°only you can bring Dn back to the city, hispany might suffer a huge loss without him, you know the jokers he has as parents? they are not bothered because he does this often¡± Steven added.

    Louisa shook her head ¡°He didn¡¯t run away because of me, Dn ran away to be with ady, I guess he doesn¡¯t know how to tell his parents about it yet!¡±

    James and Steven exchanged nces, that wasn¡¯t true, Dn only loves onedy and that was Louisa.

    James took her phone from her purse and tapped on it for some time¡­

    .

    Dn pulled off his coat throwing it to his bed, he pulled off his cufflinks and threw it out of the window.

    No matter the fun activities he and ra performed together, he still can¡¯t get Louisa¡¯s image out of his mind.

    He picked his phone that was vibrating on therge mattress.

    When he saw the caller id, his heartbeat increased drastically, his hands quivered that he identally dropped the phone like it was a bowl of hot soup.

    He contemted several times whether to ept the call or not.

    After a few more seconds, he swiped the answer button and raised it to his ear. He waited patiently for her to speak up, just her voice was enough.

    ¡°Dn?¡­¡±

    He heard her voice and was relieved however just as he wanted to speak the phone was snatched away from him.

    ¡°Who were you talking to baby?¡± ra asked before ending the call.

    Dn snatched the phone from her but the call was dead. He felt an instant urge of killing her that minute.

    ¡°What were you trying to do?¡± ra inquired folding her arm.

    ¡°She finally called¡±

    ¡°so?¡±

    Dn sighed, after all these days Louisa finally called him.

    ¡°what If she is in danger? she might need my help or something and her tone sounded like she was in danger I have to leave now!¡±

    ra rolled her eyes at him ¡°Ohe on! stop acting so restless and think with a calm head, what if that wasn¡¯t Louisa calling? everyone knows how much you love her, so they will definitely take advantage of it!¡±

    Dn released a breath and sat down on the sofa, he propped one of his legs on the table. ¡°She sounded worried ra¡±

    ¡°She only called out your name, I heard it clearly¡±

    ¡°Can we return this week? I don¡¯t think I can wait for two more weeks¡±

    ..

    James pulled over in front of Louisa¡¯s apartment, she got out of the car and forced a smile at them.

    ¡°Please don¡¯t think about that looser, he doesn¡¯t deserve you!¡± Steven called out.

    ¡°I will move on also, I¡¯m not that weak as you deem me to be¡± Louisa answered back.

    They nodded to her words and waved her off, they both watched her enter into her building.

    ¡°Do you really think Dn can move on within a short span of time, you and I know how much he loves her¡± Steven said.

    ¡°You heard thedy¡¯s voice didn¡¯t you? I guess what he had for Louisa wasn¡¯t love after all, I hope hees back soon, he has a lot of questions to answer¡± Jamesmented and stared at the building once more.

    ¡°She will be alright, she is not a weakdy¡± James mumbled..

    .

    Abby entered the ck car waiting for her at the airport, her cousin brother was just sozy when ites to the matters of the heart. And he doesn¡¯t want to learn either.

    ¡°Take me to Liam¡¯s home first we¡¯ve got a lot of talking to do!¡± she said to the driver.

    She had toe over to this city because of Liam and Amelia, but deep down she knew why she epted Liam¡¯s request in the first ce.

    Minutes after her car hit the road a nosy car from nowhere rammed into her car.

    The two car remained still for a while, after some minutes of catching her breathe she came down from the car and walked elegantly towards the other car.

    She knocked on the windshield of the other car till it winded down. ¡°Care to exin your recklessness?¡± she fired irritably.

    The two guys present in the car stepped out, one had a raised brow while the other had a look of surprise on his face.

    ¡°You?!¡±

 Chapter 113_ Apologize!

    Steven looked back and forth between the two who had a look of surprise on their faces.

    ¡°If it isn¡¯t Miss Maddy!¡± James scorned teasingly while running a finger through his ck hair.

    ¡°It¡¯s Abby knuckle head!¡± she fired back, Abby narrowed her eyes at him. ¡°You crashed into my car the least you could do is apologize¡±

    James raised a brow, he ced his hands on his chest and let out a heartyughter.¡±Oh my! apologize? and to who exactly? please take your car off the road¡±

    Abby nodded her head in understanding but did otherwise, she walked towards his car and pulled out the key.

    ¡°I will dly leave but let me see you do it!¡± she grinned and turned around going back to her car.

    ¡°She ispletely nuts!¡± James said irritably as he watched her car leave, leaving behind a cloud of dust.

    ¡°How did you manage to get along with her?¡± Steven asked still not believing that James could get acquainted to Abby.

    ording to what he heard about her, she was too full of herself and she doesn¡¯t spare any guy a nce.

    ¡°I met her atst year at Liam¡¯s grandfather birthday party, believe me she is real trouble¡± James added.

    ¡°And how the hell are supposed to leave here now?¡±

    Abby smiled in victory as she fondled with the James car key in her hands.

    After all these months she finally ran into him again. ¡°I love you so much mother earth!¡± she squealed in excitement.

    ¡°If you stare at me one more time I¡¯ll snap off your neck!¡± she threatened the driver..

    ..

    Angie was startled when the door was pushed open with a force, she shivered on seeing the armed guards pointing their weapons at her.

    ¡°Mum is everything alri¡­¡­¡± he stopped on his tracks as he saw the guards who were in the living room.

    Nichs brows creased, he recognized them to be Liam¡¯s guards but what on earth were they doing here?

    His gaze darted to the door when he saw a figure entering into the apartment.

    Liam shook his head slowly ¡°Dear stepmom and half brother I hope you are happy to see me?¡± he scornfully said with a sly grin.

    Angie¡¯s heart leaped out of her chest, his grin was thest thing she wanted to see now.

    ¡°W.. what is the meaning of this?¡± She stuttered.

    Liam leaned on the mini dining table for five and picked a table knife, he ran his finger through the blunt edge and returned his gaze to Angie who was ring at him.

    ¡°my drama queen wife did some epic show yesterday so here I am to do mine! take them away!¡±

    Liam ordered, Nichs struggled a bit with a guard only to be hit on the head with a gun.

    ¡°If he struggles again shoot him! I also want some people to feel what it truly mean to loose a loved one¡±

    ¡°No!!¡± Angie¡¯s voice came out firm, what was she without her son?

    Nichs touched his head and stared at his hands that were stained with blood.

    ¡°Blood!! Liam that¡¯s blood!! my son might die please spare him!! he¡­. needs a medical attention¡±

    Liam shrugged and walked out of the room followed by his guards who were pulling Angie and Nichs along with them..

    .

    Abby threw her purse at the guard tailing after her. ¡°Get a car ready I will be out in a few minutes¡± she ordered and went into the building.

    ¡°Liam! Liam!! where are you? I¡¯m here like you wanted!¡±

    Amelia rushed out of the kitchen when she heard the familiar jovial voice.

    ¡°Abby!¡± she called out happily, Abby swiftly turned around.

    ¡°Oh there is thedy! I miss you the most!¡± she eximed pulling Amelia into a tight hug.

    Cecile wheeled Brianna out of her room, they also wanted to know who their guest was. However as soon as Brianna came in view.

    They heard a light thud on the marbled floor, Amelia turned to Abby in shock and turned back to find her mum and Brianna.

    ¡°And there goes your friend!¡± Cecile replied boredly.

    ¡°She is Liam¡¯s cousin sister and she passed out because of mum Brianna!¡± Amelia said irritably at her mum.

    What will Liam do once he finds out about this.

    Abby¡¯s eyelids moved, her lips mumbling some incoherent words.

    Amelia and her mum loomed over her watching her little movement.

    ¡°Do you think she is dead?¡± Amelia asked worriedly.

    ¡°Nah she just passed out, she will be up any minutes from now¡±

    They heard light footsteps approaching them, ¡°What is going on?¡±

    Amelia and her mum exchanged brief nces before moving away from the couch to give him a clearer view of thedy on it.

    Liam¡¯s brows collided as he walked hurriedly towards Abby. ¡°What happened to her?¡±

    Brianna lowered her gaze ¡°she saw me and passed out¡±

    Liam hissed in displeasure, it¡¯s not as if he doesn¡¯t trust Abby to tell her about his mum. He just couldn¡¯t risk it.

    ¡°There¡¯s no problem with that¡±

    Amelia caught sight of the red stain on his white shirt. ¡°That¡¯s blood Liam¡­.¡± She said pointing at the stain.

    ¡°Umm¡± came his shirt reply.

    ¡°Are you hurt dear?¡± Cecile asked taking a closer look.

    Liam caught her hand in his ¡°Don¡¯t ruin your hands by touching his blood, it¡¯s not my blood¡±

    Amelia gasped as she stared at Liam, did he kill someone?.

    Abby eye lids fluttered open, she held her head while sitting up on the couch.

    ¡°Liam..¡±

    They diverted their attention to her, Liam supported her movement.

    ¡°Abby are you alright?¡± Liam asked to receive a nod.

    ¡°Yeah, did I pass out?¡±

    Amelia nodded andughed out ¡°Yeah and it was hrious¡±

    Cecile pinched Amelia¡¯s arm to stop her from speaking.

    ¡°Ouch!¡±

    ¡°I saw a ghost and¡­

    Brianna leaned forward to take a nce at thedy. Abby saw Brianna¡¯s face again and before she could scream out every turned ck again.

    ¡°She passed out again¡±

    ..

    Angie wriggled herself out of the guards grip, she ran towards her son who was on the cold floor bleeding from his head.

    ¡°Please take my prince to the hospital, he might die! how can you all be so heartless?¡± she yelled furiously at the guards.

    They could kill her if they wished but Nichs must not die or else there would be blood.

    She tapped his cheeks to keep him conscious ¡°Prince stay with me, don¡¯t close your eyes¡±Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    She tore the bottom part of her dress and pressed it against his head to stop the bleeding.

    Nichs groaned In pain ¡°Mum¡­. I will be fine right?¡±

    Angie nodded at him, she had to reassure him, if Nichs dies she would tear Liam apart with her bare hands.

 Chapter 114_ You are mine!

    Louisa sank into her bed, sobbing her eyes out, she was such a fool to think that anyone could love an orphan like her.

    She heard a little knock on the door and groaned out more. Wrong timing! theye at the wrong time.

    Nowadays she was too scared to open her door, because one way or the other the person at the door is a follower of Dn.

    She heard the knock again and sat up from the bed. Louisa went to the door and unlocked it but she found no one.

    She felt someone brush past her legs heading into the room. ¡°Hahaha very funny Lou I¡¯m not that big¡±

    Louisa stared at the little girl who was smiling sheepishly at her. She nced around her corridor but found no one there.

    ¡°How did you get here?¡±

    Chloe shrugged and dropped her glittering pink colored school bag on the dining table.

    ¡°Big bro¡¯s friends picked me up from school today and they dropped me here¡±

    Louisa raised a brow, so it was their doing¡­..

    ¡°Lou I want some cookies and a chocte milk just like the ones you make for me¡±

    Louisa smiled and touched Chloe¡¯s cheeks ¡°You are so sweet, I wonder why anyone won¡¯t love you¡±

    Chloe blinked multiple times blushing hard at Louisa¡¯spliment.

    ¡°Can you call big bro and inform him that I¡¯m here I¡¯m so sure that he must be so worried¡±

    Louisa paid heed to her and took out her phone from the top of the table.

    ¡°Lou your eyes are red, have you been crying?¡±

    Louisa shook her head and went into the kitchen, after the call went through. ¡°Hello Mr Grayson¡­ I just wanted to inform you that Chloe is with me¡­.

    Chloe came into the kitchen and stood up on a stool to hear their conversation.

    Louisa ced the phone far from her mouth ¡°get off that stool you will fall¡±

    ¡°Can I speak to him?¡± Chloe asked, before the message could be ryed to Liam, they both had a clear answer.

    ¡°No!¡±

    Louisa ced her phone on the counter and turned to Chloe who now had a sad look on her face.

    ¡°I¡¯m always nice and respectful to him but he doesn¡¯t like me at all¡± she sucked and jumped down from the stool.

    ¡°Chloe wait!¡±This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    ..

    Liam ced his phone back down when he saw Abby move. He had to bring her into one of the guest rooms for proper rest.

    ¡°Abby can you hear me?¡±

    Abby opened her eyes and helped herself up ¡°Ah! my head hurts don¡¯t tell me I passed out again¡±

    ¡°Yes you did¡±

    There was a Knock before the door opened, Stephanie came into the room with a ss of freshly squeezed orange juice.

    Liam took the ss off Stephanie¡¯s hand and handed it over to Abby.

    ¡°Here have this¡±

    Abby epted the ss and drank it all in one goal, she nced briefly at Stephanie. There was something familiar and off with thisdy and she wondered what it was.

    ¡°You may go¡± Abby dismissed her.

    She ced the empty ss on the table beside her bed and turned towards Liam.

    ¡°Your mum is still alive? I thought she was dead! everyone also thinks she is dead¡­ how is this even possible? even though I was young when she died I watched her being buried¡­¡±

    Liam hummed in reply to her, she wasn¡¯t wrong when she said that.

    ¡°Yes she was buried before I arrived there, but an old maid overheard the conversation between your mum and grandfather and that was how she helped me dig out my mum after everyone was gone¡±

    Abby gasped in surprise, of course she knew her mum was evil but not till this extent.

    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry Liam, my mum and grandfather had done so many things to hurt you and you are still being fair to them¡±

    Liam¡¯s gaze darkened, fair? they will surely get what he has installed for them.

    ¡°That¡¯s for a limited time¡±

    Abby lowered her gaze, Liam¡¯s mind was already made up and no one could change it.

    ¡°So you called me here for a reason right? why don¡¯t we face the present situation?¡±

    ..

    .

    Amelia ced an earphone over her ear as soon as Liam stepped into the room. She knew what he and Abby were up to but she won¡¯t give in so easily.

    She slowly looked up at him when he wasn¡¯t looking at her, he was currently on a phone call and by the look of things it was a female.

    ¡°No I¡¯m very free now I cane over if you want, you know I¡¯m very much single¡±

    Amelia squeezed her phone in her palm as she listened to his conversation. although she wore a headphone but it wasn¡¯t connected to any music or device.

    Liam sat down next to her on the couch taking his shoes off.

    ¡°Oh now? I¡¯m about to take a quick shower¡­.. oh my! a video call in the shower? I don¡¯t mind!¡±

    Amelia¡¯s chest heaved up and down, and that was it! she lost it and turned to him.

    She snatched the phone from him ¡°You listen carefully to medy, he is married to me and you were requesting for a video call in the shower? how shameless of you!¡±

    Liam snatched back his phone from her ¡°Baby don¡¯t be offended by that she¡¯s just ady I met on the street now she¡¯s iming to be my wife¡±

    Amelia gasped, baby? he is addressing anotherdy by that in front of her.

    ¡°lots of kisses and bye¡± Liam smiled and ced the phone in his pocket.

    ¡°and what is your problem miss?¡±

    ¡°miss?¡± she asked back.

    Liam walked past her heading towards the vanity table. ¡°Oh I¡¯m sorry remind me of your name again¡±

    Amelia stood in front of him pounding his chest ¡°Baby? lots of kisses? that only belongs to me not some other randomdy do you get that?¡±

    Liam caught her hand ¡°Hey be careful don¡¯t punch my heart out, you said you weren¡¯t ready to forgive me yet so I moved on¡­¡±

    ¡°Moved on? is this some joke to you? you are mine Liam and I¡¯m not going to let any otherdy take my ce in your life¡±

    ¡°well too bad because¡­

    Amelia ced her hands on his lips ¡°Don¡¯t say it¡±

    Liam grinned from ear to ear before he pulled Amelia into his arms. He kissed the top of her hair softly ¡°I¡¯m really sorry but I had no other option other than this to get your attention¡±

    Amelia¡¯s face scrunched, she rubbed her face on his broad chest and smiled.

    ¡°I forgive you Liam but make sure you never doubt me like that ever again¡±

    ¡°you have my word on that¡±

    Liam sighed in relief, at least that phase was over and he was never going to doubt her again.

    All of a sudden his eyes went back to the brown parcel on the shelf, where he had seen Nichs things in it. He already promised not to doubt her but something about that box troubled him greatly.

    Why would Amelia lie to him about it? was there something he was not aware of?

 Chapter 115_ His return 1

    Amelia stared at her phone screen worriedly, she was currently on a video call with Louisa.

    ¡°I tried talking to her Amy but she ¡­. please speak with her¡±

    Louisa turned the phone towards Chloe, who was sitting quietly on the top of a drawer.

    ¡°Sweetie, is everything alright?¡±

    Chloe raised raised her head, and rubbed her eyes that were red.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to anyone!¡± she protested cing her small hands against her ears.

    ¡°See what I said?¡± Louisa asked, Amelia sighed at the other end.

    ¡°She is in such a bad mood, what could have happened to her?¡±

    Louisa nced briefly at Chloe before moving a distance away from her. ¡°Mr Grayson is being unnecessarily harsh on her, I know his stepmom and half brother has done so much to him but Chloe is just a child¡±

    Amelia tapped her head, that husband of hers never learns, she had said a lot when it came to how hard he was on his sister.

    Just then he came in with a smile, ¡°Dear wifey I already ¡­¡± he paused mid way after she red at him.

    ¡°Liam what exactly did you say to Chloe to upset her? she doesn¡¯t want to talk to anyone¡±

    Liam snorted, how dramatic of her, ¡°well¡­ good for everyone!¡±

    ¡°This is super serious, I¡¯ve told you before that Chloe isn¡¯t responsible for anything that happened to you, why can¡¯t you see how much she truly adores you even though she was raised by your family who hates your existence?¡±

    Amelia shook her head, how could she convince Liam on this? Chloe must have grown up hearing all soughts of things about him, but she still chose to ept him as her brother.

    Amelia took his hand and ced her phone on his palm.¡±Fix this up and make sure to put a smile on her face otherwise I won¡¯t speak to you anymore¡± Amelia threatened.

    Liam stared at the screen, he could tell that the child was angry, but how was he going to cheer her up?

    He cleared his throat to gain her attention but she remained unmoved.

    ¡°Chloe guess who wants to speak with you¡± Louisa muttered.

    ¡°I said I don¡¯t want to speak with anyone!¡± Chloe yelled folding her arm.

    ¡°And what about me?¡±

    Chloe raised her head to stare at the screen which Louisa was holding in front of her.

    Her face brightened up a bit ¡°Are you still upset with me? ra?¡­

    ¡°it¡¯s Chloe Liam!¡± Ameliashed out at him, she knew he was doing this on purpose.

    ¡°Oh my bad! Chloe, I¡¯m very ¡­ sorry for how I spoke to you a while back please forgive me¡±

    Chloe tapped her chin for a while ¡°I will think about it!¡± She pressed the red button and ended the call.

    Liam sprang up to his feet staring at the nk screen.¡±Can you believe her bad manners? she wants to think about my apology? I¡¯ll rip her mouth off as soon as I get the chance¡± Liam mumbled irritably.

    Amelia chuckled ¡°She is such a sweet little child Liam, don¡¯t get so upset, and I think I love what she did, serves you right!¡± Amelia scorned..

    .

    Old Grayson came into the ward where mark was, he drew out a small stool which was ced under the bed and sat on it.

    ¡°Mark¡­ are you awake?¡±

    Mark¡¯s eyelids fluttered open, he closed his eyes once more when he saw who it was.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you for so long either, all I want to know is what happened between you and Liam?¡±

    Mark remained quiet which annoyed old Grayson ¡°will you speak up? I have various means to make you talk!¡± He threatened.

    However, mark reached out to the small button beside his bed and pushed it several times. A nurse hurriedly walked in.

    ¡°Mr Grayson¡­ the patient needs rest now if you don¡¯t mind¡±

    Old Grayson forced a smile at her, he returned his gaze back to his son, he leaned forward to mark. ¡°You are trying to get rid of me .. huh? I will be back¡± He whispered and ruffled mark¡¯s hair.

    ¡°Please take very good care of him, we have information that his life is in grave danger!¡±

    The nurse nodded as response and watched him leave, mark opened his eyes after he heard the door close.

    ¡°If he tries toe in here again, you have every right to stop him¡±. Mark said softly to the nurse.

    .

    Karl entered his study room and banged the door shut after which it was opened again.

    ¡°Don¡¯t try to avoid my questions Karl!¡± Anthony yelled furiously.

    Karl mmed his hand on his desk ¡°Mr Hart! you are in my territory! don¡¯t try to raise your voice at me!¡±

    ¡°You know who your sister¡¯s husband is and you don¡¯t want to say his name? or are you perhaps scared of him? don¡¯t I have the right to know about him?¡±.

    Karl opened his drawer and took out a packet of cigarette, he took one out and lighted the butt. ¡°She was with you today! why didn¡¯t you ask her? I¡¯m not Amelia¡­. go and meet her yourself and question her, how will I know who she got married to? we never get along with each other¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t lie to me Karl, even if I am blind I will still be able to see the affection and love you have for her, they are very visible¡±

    Karl hissed in anger, he closed his eyes for a brief second. ¡°Where did I go wrong?¡±

    Karl¡¯s question brought a pang of pain in Anthony¡¯s heart. ¡°You have every right to be mad at me, I admit I treated you unfairly but I need to know who your sister got married to¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­..¡±

    ¡°ra Benson, a twenty four year olddy who lost her parents at an early age and waster sold into a brothel where¡­..¡± Anthony paused seeing that he had gotten Karl¡¯s attention.

    ¡°I can give you every detail you need to know including her whereabout¡± Anthony mumbled and sat down in front of the huge table.

    Karl¡¯s demeanor softened, he had been searching for her ever since she left, he had thought it was one of those times they have argument and she leaves for a day or two but this time it was different.

    Her absence had made him realize that he was nothing without her, she was his shoulder to cry on, his best friend, his fight mate and most importantly the onlydy that caught his attention without doing much.

    ¡°Where is she?¡± his voice came out in a low growl.

    Anthony brought out a brown envelope from his inner pocket and ced it in front of Karl. Karl picked the envelope and tore it open to reveal a picture of ra.

    ¡°This picture was taken two days back, why don¡¯t we make a deal, I will tell you her exact location and you will tell me who Amelia¡¯s husband is¡±

    Karl maintained eye contact with Anthony ¡°Why are you so obsessed with Amelia¡¯s husband?¡±

    ¡°Why are you so obsessed in finding ra?¡± Anthony questioned back.

    ¡°And how do you expect me to trust your words?¡±

    ¡°Skye blue hotels room 105, in Goshen¡±

    Karl¡¯s lips parted in disbelief, as he stared at the picture in his hands. He didn¡¯t think she will ever run to that ce.

    ¡°I kept my part of the deal now it¡¯s your turn¡±This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    Karl returned his gaze to Anthony ¡°Liam Grayson!¡±

 Chapter 116_ His return 2

    Dn turned back once more, he felt as if he was being followed. He turned to ra who was deeply engrossed in eating her cotton candy.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know why you didn¡¯t get any, we both are sad we deserve some sweetness at least¡± ra mumbled.

    ¡°Hmm¡­. so do you notice that someone has been following us around?¡±

    ra¡¯s lips parted, she stopped walking and turned around to check if they were truly being followed but all she could see was people living their normal lives.

    ¡°Nah¡­ I don¡¯t think so¡­ no one knows where we are and so what if we are being followed? what is their aim?¡±

    Dn¡¯s ears picked up a small sound piercing through the air, he quickly pulled ra out of the way and an arrow swooshed her cotton candy nailing it to a tree.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.

    ra and Dn turned back in surprise but they found no one suspicious.

    ¡°Try telling me about its sweetness once more¡± Dn scoffed.

    ¡°It¡¯s not funny¡­. someone tried to kill me!¡±

    Dn rolled his eyes and pulled her out of the vicinity hurriedly.

    ¡°Listen to my advice and let¡¯s go back home, our hideout is no longer a hideout¡±

    ra folded her arm ¡°This ising from a guy who is so desperate to meet his lover again!¡± she teased.

    Luciana banged her fist on the tree where her arrownded, she pulled the arrow out of the tree and tossed the cotton candy away in anger.

    ¡°First it was Louisa and now this b*tch! how much more can I handle? and Dn? was he seriously going to take an arrow for that s*lut?¡±

    She turned to leave when she saw a few people looking at her, she scoffed at them, they must be thinking that she was a maddy.

    ¡°What are you all staring at? it¡¯s not my fault that he has an interest indies with bad reputations and disgusting background!¡±

    ..

    .

    Amelia stretched her arms wide open, she turned to the other side of the bed to see it empty. Today was herst movie shoot and she was so excited about it.

    She drew the duvet to cover her bare body when Liam came in.

    ¡°You are looking so energetic, I bet I didn¡¯t wear you out like I had thought¡±

    Amelia smiled and epted the bowl of soup he brought for her. She noticed he was all dressed up for the office. ¡°what says the time?¡± she asked taking a sip from the bowl.

    Liam nced briefly at his wrist watch ¡°It¡¯s past eleven¡±

    Amelia spat the soup out of her mouth ¡°What? it¡¯s sote! why didn¡¯t you wake me up? I¡¯m supposed to be on set by now, today is myst¡­..

    Liam ced a palm over her running mouth ¡°I spoke to the director, you can go whichever time you deem right¡±

    ¡°And by the way I¡¯m heading to the hospital to see dad¡±

    Amelia who was about to sip the hot soup paused for a while, was it her hearing or did Liam just address mark as his father?

    ¡°W¡­ what did you just say?¡± She asked just to be sure.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry it escaped my mind¡­ he was admitted into the hospital yesterday but he is alright now¡±

    Amelia drew her brows in worry ¡°What happened to him?¡±

    Liam tilted his head to the side, if he ever told her the truth he could already imagine what she would do.

    ¡°He slipped and hurt his arm but he will be fine¡± Liam briefly exined, he picked up his briefcase.

    ¡°Abby has been waiting for you to wake up for a while now¡±

    He walked back to the bed where she was seated and nted a kiss on her lips. ¡°I love you¡±

    She smiled at him, he turned around and began walking away. ¡°Liam¡± she called out.

    He stopped walking and turned around ¡°It¡¯s good to see that you¡¯ve started addressing uncle mark as dad please consider Chloe too¡±. Liam nodded and left the room.

    Amelia sipped her soup slowly, today started on a good note for her how she wished it ended on a good note also..

    .

    Louisa picked up her phone when she saw it shed on. ¡°A new message? from who?¡±

    She dropped her mug of tea on the dining table and sat down to read the message.

    ¡°Hmm¡­ from the Wesley¡¯s¡­. You are to officially resume work on Tuesday by 8:15am failure to do so will result in a strict punishment¡­..¡±

    She sprang up to her feet¡­.¡± Why am I seeing this now? it¡¯s past eleven and by the way Dn isn¡¯t around for me to work with! I better get down there to see what this is about!¡±

    ..

    Louisa panted slightly as she ran into the building surprisingly for her no one was in their respective post.

    ¡°is this some joke?¡± she mumbled irritably.

    She returned to the front desk to make some inquiries everyone¡¯s whereabouts.

    ¡°hello please where is everyone?¡±

    The new receptionist smiled sweetly at her ¡°Oh they are in the meeting room it started twenty minutes ago¡±

    ¡°Meeting? but Dy¡­ I mean the boss isn¡¯t around yet¡±

    The receptionist shrugged her shoulders, Louisa sighed and left for the meeting room.

    She slowly opened the huge door to sneak in and mix with the other employees.

    ¡°Where do you think you are going?¡±

    A low icy voice pierced into her ears, the other employees turned their attention to her.

    Louisa¡¯s lips parted in disbelief as she stared at him, he was resting on the table with his arms crossed.

    Louisa clutched her purse tightly as a thousand questions ran through her mind. She was happy to see him and at the same time angry to see him.

    Dn raised his hand to stop the presentation going on by one of his employees, he walked towards Louisa in a slow pace.

    ¡°What makes you think that you cane to the office anytime you want?¡± he growled at her.

    Louisa raised a brow at him, she noticed the change in his tone, no matter how angry he might be he never raises his voice at her.

    ¡°I¡¯m¡­ so.. sorry I didn¡¯t know¡­..¡±

    ¡°Sorry?¡± he said cutting off her speech.

    Louisa avoided making eye contact with him, she knew he was upset with her and that¡¯s why he wasshing out at her.

    ¡°As per the rules of thepany which states that everyteer will be punished, and I don¡¯t think that you are above that rule¡±

    Louisa snapped her head to him Punished? this wasn¡¯t the first time she wasingte to the office, infact she has never been to the office on time.

    The employees murmured among themselves. ¡°I thought they were engaged¡± ady whispered.

    Dn turned sharply to thedy who just spoke ¡°Hey you! I want your resignation letter in the next twenty minutes for saying rubbish¡±

 Chapter 117_ He has changed

    Dn returned his gaze back to her ¡°What are you waiting for? get out!¡±

    Louisa closed her eyes for a brief second and turned around stomping her way out of the meeting room.

    She came out and threw her purse harshly over a desk. ¡°How dare he speak to me in that tone? he embarrassed me in front of everyone¡± she screeched furiously and kicked the air in anger.

    Louisa paced around the corridor waiting for the doors to be opened, she nced briefly at the clock, she had been standing for up to one hour now.

    What were they even talking about? her hands itched it open the door but she gave up the thought.

    She sat down on a chair and brought out her phone, just then the door opened.

    ¡°I thought you had finallye back to your senses¡±

    Louisa sprang up to her feet and turned to him, she stared at her feet. ¡°Dn I know that you are mad at me but I¡­..¡±Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    ¡°What did you just address me as?¡± he growled at her and grabbed her chin.

    Louisa pulled his hands off forcefully ¡°Okay¡­. that is enough now, I noticed you¡¯ve been behaving strangely, you have no idea of how happy I am to see you back¡±

    ¡°In your absence everyone med me for your disappearance¡­ I called a few times but¡­¡±she added only to be cut off.

    ¡°That¡¯s all in the past now ¡­.. and I don¡¯t like mixing my personal and business life together so do yourself a favor ande with me¡±

    ..

    .

    Louisa closed the door behind her as soon as she entered his office.

    ¡°Darling¡­. there you are I¡¯ve been waiting for so long, anyways thank goodness that you are here¡­.¡±

    Louisa raised her head after hearing the feminine voice in the office, her brows furrowed as she recognized thedy.

    She watched them embrace each other affectionately.

    ra turned towards Louisa ¡°and you are¡­?¡± she asked with raised brows.

    Dn guided her to sit ¡°She? she is just an employee¡­ well forget about her and tell me why you came all the way here¡±

    Louisa folded her arm in anger, did he bring her here to make her watch this? and why was she with Dn? she thought ra and Karl were a thing.

    ra brought out a magazine and opened it in front of Dn.¡±baby look at this¡­. mum asked me to pick a ring design for our wedding which one do you like the most?¡±

    Louisa¡¯s face fell, what wedding? none of these drama was making any sense to her. The world knows that she is Dn¡¯s real fiance so what the hell is going on here?

    ¡°Wedding?¡± she blurted out.

    The two snapped their heads to her direction, ¡°Yeah¡­ do you have a problem with it?¡± Dn asked in a sharp tone.

    Louisa¡¯s lips parted in disbelief ¡°You got engaged to her?¡­. and what about me? you¡¯ve already humiliated me enough when you ran away for some days and now? the world will definitely mock me¡±

    Dn raised a brow at her outburst ¡°Our engagement?¡± heughed out followed by a loud scoff.

    ¡°That wasn¡¯t an engagement, it was a child¡¯s y, I¡¯m only engaged to onedy and our wedding will being up on next month¡±

    Louisa took few steps towards them ¡°And what will I say when everyone asks me about this?¡± she raised her finger revealing a ring.

    Dn stared at her in unbelief, she was still putting it on? he turned to ra who nodded at him.

    He got up from his seat and stood in front of Louisa.¡±take it off!¡±

    ¡°what?¡±

    Dn held her hand and slid the ring off her finger. ¡°You also wanted this weeks back and now I have finally freed you from the trouble¡±

    He passed the ring to ra who examined it for a while, after which she tossed it out of the window.

    Louisa clenched her hands by her side as she sent a chilly gaze to Dn. ¡°I always knew it¡­. I knew yboys never change their habits and that¡¯s exactly what you did¡­ thank goodness that I didn¡¯t fall for your cheap lies¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m still your boss miss Louisa!¡±

    Louisa! now he addresses her with her full name? what happened to him during those days he was away? and how did he meet this fox?

    ¡°Baby I need a cup of hot tea¡­¡± ra whined stroking his arm.

    ¡°You heard her¡±

    Louisa turned around and stomped out of the office, immediately she was gone ra bursted outughing at Dn.

    ¡°Dude.. you are really pathetic¡±

    Dn narrowed his eyes at her ¡°You are unbelievable ra¡±

    ra brought out the ring and ced it on the table. ¡°This ring is really pretty¡±

    Dn gaped in shock, didn¡¯t she throw it out? he thought she did.

    ¡°If this is still here, then what did you throw out?¡±

    ¡°Your car keys!¡± she said nonchntly staring at the magazine.

    ¡°what?!¡±

    ra rolled her eyes at him ¡°You can still find it or get a new car¡± she shrugged.

    Dn picked the magazine she was staring at ¡°I also need a ring¡±

    ra sprang up to her feet in excitement, she walked around the table to help him choose a ring.

    ¡°Believe me¡­ I¡¯m great when ites to picking pretty jewels let me do the honors¡±

    They both heard the door unlocking and before Dn could blink, ra was already sitting on hisps. She brought her face close to his¡­.

    Louisa turned away from the sight, she cleared her throat to gain back their attention.

    ¡°Oh¡­ you should have knocked beforeing in¡± ra scolded and stood up walking towards Louisa.

    She collected the cup of tea and took a sip out of it ¡°You make great tea¡­.. but sadly I¡¯m not really into the tea I prefer coffee¡±

    Louisa red at ra ¡°You can¡¯t order me around!¡±

    ra gasped in shock ¡°Did you just go against my order?¡±

    ¡°You bet I did!¡­. I¡¯m not your servant who you order around¡±

    ¡°You are only serving your punishment foringte to the office and trust me this is only the beginning now do as you¡¯ve been asked to¡± Dn added.

    Louisa pulled the mug out of ra¡¯s grip and turned away.

    ..

    .

    Abby nudged Cecile when she saw Amelia approaching. ¡°This is exactly what I was talking about aunt, what were you doing up sotest night that you slept in?¡±

    Amelia¡¯s cheeks flushed ¡°Please don¡¯t tease me, you should ask Liam that question not me¡±

    Cecile handed her a ss of freshly squeezed orange juice.¡±Have this it¡¯s good for your health¡±

    Amelia epted the ss and drank it all in one go.¡±That was refreshing, I have to leave now mum and please extend my greetings to mum Brianna¡±

    Abby sprang up to her feet ¡°Can I tag along?¡±

    ¡°Yeah sure!¡±

    Abby stole a side nce at Amelia while they were in the car going to star entertainment, Amelia noticed and turned to her with a raised brow. ¡°Is something wrong?¡±

    Abby shook her head and smiled ¡°I was just wondering if you could help me with something¡±

    ¡°Abby¡­. you¡¯ve helped me a lot so I will dly do the same for you too¡±

    Abby stared down at her hands ¡°I came to the city for someone other than Liam¡±

    Amelia¡¯s ears perked up, she wiggled her brows ¡°Is it a guy?¡± she asked to see Abby turn red which answered her question.

    ¡°Tell me what his name is and I will fix your alliance, not me actually, Liam can do that¡±

    Abby face palmed herself, Amelia was just too silly. ¡°Nah¡­ Liam will definitely tease me till the end of time¡±

    Abby pulled out the car key from her purse and waved it in front of Amelia.

    ¡°This belongs to him¡±

    Amelia stared at the key dangling on Abby¡¯s hand, she had definitely seen this somewhere before.

    ¡°By the look of it, I know this person¡±

    ¡°Yup.. you do, he is no other than one of Liam¡¯s friends¡±

    Amelia gasped ¡°I bet it¡¯s not Dn because he is taken¡±

    Abby waved in denial ¡°No! I was talking about James¡±

    Amelia bursted outughing, she wasn¡¯t sure James was a one woman¡¯s man, that dude loves to explore.

    ¡°Yeahugh all you want¡± Abby grumpily stated, Amelia¡¯s face turned serious once more.

    ¡°oh my! you are actually serious¡±

    ..

    Liam entered mark¡¯s ward but surprisingly he wasn¡¯t there anymore.

    He turned to the nurse present in the room ¡°Where is the patient in this ward?¡±

    ¡°He was discharged earlier this morning per your order¡±

    ¡°My order?!¡± Liam growled at her.

    He pulled out his phone out his phone ¡°Block the city¡¯s exits and find the whereabouts of my father¡±

 Chapter 118_ You are pure evil!

    Allison sat on a swing moving back and forth with the help of Fred.

    Her face showed content over thetest news she was hearing, she was such a fool for crying over spilt milk when she had the upper hand all these while.

    ¡°La¡­¡± she hummed softly holding the chains tightly.

    ¡°I love to see you this happy¡±

    Allison raised her face to the sky with a beautiful smile.

    ¡°I can¡¯t wipe this smile off either so let itst for a while¡±

    A maid walked towards them with a Allison¡¯s phone which Fred took immediately.

    ¡°You may leave now¡± he dismissed the maid and turned back towards Allison..

    .

    ¡°Miss Hart! thank goodness you are here we¡¯ve started shooting already, today is thest shoot and itsts for only forty minutes¡± the director announced.

    Amelia sat down on a chair while the makeup crew surrounded her retouching her makeup.

    ¡°Get her costume ready!¡±

    Kelvin took the space next to her and sat, he leaned forward to whisper into her ear.¡±your dad is desperately looking for your husband, he thought you were married to me¡±

    Amelia creased her brow, that was true she never told her dad about who she was married to, but how did he even know that she was married?

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry¡­ I¡¯m sure he gave you a hard time¡±

    Kelvin shook his head ¡°he wasn¡¯t hard on me, but I think you should tell him who your husband is¡±

    ¡°I sure will¡±

    ..

    .

    ¡± It¡¯s a wrap!¡± the director called out, Abby sighed at least her shoot was finally over, now for the big problem that just popped up.

    ¡°Abby I finally did it¡­ the only shoot I have left is for mytest contract about a skincare product but Liam is being unnecessarily worried¡±

    Abby wanted to rejoice with her but she had to see what is trending online now¡­..

    ¡°Amelia you have to see this¡±

    Amelia took a peek at Abby¡¯s phone and raised a brow, the first image that appeared on the screen was Allison. She snorted in disdain.

    ¡°Everyone who witnessed my engagement with Liam Grayson will definitely witness my marriage to him this weekend but I have one request fans¡­..¡± she started sobbing¡­.

    ¡°Amelia Hart has threatened to ruin my wedding please do whatever it takes to stop her, she had been obsessed with my fiance for a very long time and had attacked me on several asions to stay away from him, I¡¯m so scared right now¡±

    ¡°All I¡¯m asking of you all is to help me stop her or else she would kill me¡­.. ¡±

    Amelia nced up and looked around, by the looks of things around here, they all must have watched the video.

    ¡°Amelia this is bad¡­. she yed a very smart move against you¡±

    ¡°so this was the n all along? Liam?¡­. Liam must be making a wrong decision again¡± Abby watched Amelia dashed off from her sight before she ran after her.

    Old Grayson had a smirk on his face that didn¡¯t seem to be leaving anytime soon, he enjoyed the trouble look on his grandson¡¯s face. He had finally suceeded, now Liam was cornered.

    Liam released a breath as he held the pen, he scribbled his signature and ced the pen harshly on the paper.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    ¡°Dear grand father you¡¯ve won this time¡­.¡± Liam praised, his grand father might have yed smart but he still had one move left against him.

    ¡°But you were dumb¡­. I threw you out of the ancestral home and you couldn¡¯t do anything about it¡­. back then the house wasn¡¯t mine I fooled you¡±

    Old Grayson gritted his teeth, so there was basically no point of the signature.

    ¡°But half of the Grayson¡¯s wealth do belong to my mum which includes the ancestral home¡±

    Old Grayson nodded in affirmation ¡°yeah you are right¡­ but isn¡¯t it too bad that she didn¡¯t put any of those properties under your name before she died?¡­

    Heughed out which Liam didn¡¯t find funny at all, how he wished to smack that smile off his face.

    ¡°I couldn¡¯t risk it you see¡­.. your mum wanted to put everything she owned under your name but I couldn¡¯t let that happen that¡¯s why I had to get rid of her at the earliest¡±

    ¡°You are pure evil!¡­..

    The doors pushed open as Angie and Nichs staggered in.

    ¡°I¡¯ve kept a part of my deal, there you have them¡­. where is my father?¡±

    Angie helped Nichs to a chair before she turned to Liam.

    ¡°My son nearly lost his life because of you!¡±

    Liam snorted ¡°nearly? that is bad news to my hearing¡±

    Angie smirked ¡°and guess who has fallen into our trap¡­.. the almighty Liam Grayson!¡± she scorned.

    Liam stood on his feet, he remained calm ¡°I guess so¡­.. I don¡¯t have any right to send you out of the ancestral home only the true owner can which is my mum¡­. ¡±

    Old Grayson narrowed his eyes at his grandson, he couldn¡¯t ce his finger on what exactly was going on in Liam¡¯s head. Liam wasn¡¯t the type to back down so easily, something was off.

    ¡°See you all at the ancestral home for lunch¡±

    ¡°and don¡¯t forget to get your tuexedo ready after all you are getting married this weekend, the least I could do is to be your best man¡± Nichs suddenly blurted out of the blue.

    He groaned in pain as he touched his head, Liam turned to him.

    ¡°unfortunately you won¡¯t be able to attend it because you will be in jail while your mum will be in an asylum and as for your grand dad he will be a permanent patient at the hospital till he dies¡±

    Liam bowed slightly and left the apartment, fear engulfed Angie, she turned to old Grayson.¡±father should we be worried? Liam doesn¡¯t give empty threats¡±

    ¡°don¡¯t be a scaredy cat mum, he lost to us and he was obviously trying to instill fear in us¡±

    ..

    Amelia returned back home, she was a bit relieved after she spoke with Liam.

    She nced up the stairs and ran up as fast as she could.

    Abby wondered what she was about to do, whatever it was she hoped that it wasn¡¯t something so extreme.

    In the next instance she appeared with Brianna on the wheelchair, Abby¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Amelia what are you doing she might fall off the stairs!¡± Abby yelled which alerted Cecile.

    Brianna gasped as she saw the steps below her, she tried to move back but Amelia wasn¡¯t having any of it.

    ¡°Amelia the guards aren¡¯t here to help me down, I will get hurt!¡± Brianna protested.

    Amelia¡¯s lips twitched ¡°that is exactly what I want, for you to get hurt!¡± she fired back.

    Cecile face palmed herself, what was this crazy daughter of hers trying to do.

    ¡°dear do as she says and move back, Liam will be upset once he sees this¡±

    Amelia pushed the wheelchair forward while holding the handle at the back. Brianna screamed, she had a great phobia for heights after she fell from the balcony years ago.

    ¡°You are the root cause of Liam¡¯s problem, it¡¯s only fair if I end you¡±

    Liam came in at that moment and frowned.¡± What are you trying to do?¡±

    ¡°Liam stop her she has gone crazy!¡± Cecile eximed nudging him forward.

    Brianna closed her eyes as the wheelchair rocked forward and backward, her head was already spinning from all that.

    Her hands gripped the wheelchair¡¯s armrest, Liam took steps forward to stop whatever Amelia was doing.

    ¡°No Liam! don¡¯t stop her¡± Abby held him back, Liam yanked her hands off.

    ¡°she will get hurt if she falls again¡±

    Abby shook her head ¡°I know exactly what Amelia is up to¡­. look¡±¡­.. She pointed her index finger towards the stairs.

    Liam and Cecile snapped their heads towards the stairs and were surprised.

    Brianna moved her legs slowly and pushed herself up a little, she pushed back the wheelchair and held unto the step railing gasping softly.

    She turned towards Amelia in disbelief ¡°you tried to kill me I considered you¡­..

    ¡°mum you are standing on your feet!¡± Amelia shrieked out.

    Brianna who hadn¡¯t noticed before fell back and was caught swiftly by Amelia.

    Liam rushed up to her to examine her ¡°Are you alright mum? I knew you still had chances of standing on your feet again¡±

    Cecile climbed the stairs hurriedly and pulled Amelia¡¯s ears taking her away with her.

    ¡°Ouch¡­ mum.. it hurts¡±

    Cecile released her grip and tapped Amelia¡¯s head ¡°Is there a loosed nut in there? do you know how dangerous that was?¡±

    Amelia brushed her hair backwards ¡°I¡¯m Amelia and I love taking risk, well at least it worked! she needed to be on her feet again to support Liam, after all Liam needs her the most now¡±

    ¡°That oldie has messed with us for so long, he has taken his own son hostage in exchange for the ancestral home and in the other hand my name is being tarnished on the inte by him also¡±

    ¡°what do you mean by that?¡±

    Amelia sat down on the bed in frustration ¡°Everything is a mess mum, we were so happy with our lives that we forgot about the engagement between Allison and Liam, she has made me a viin on the inte¡±

 Chapter 119_ She is alive?! 1

    Cecile stroked Amelia¡¯s hair slowly, she had a small smile stered on her lips. ¡°I have nothing to worry about because the daughter I raised is a very brave one, she can tackle any situation she finds herself in ande out victorious¡±

    Amelia smiled and nodded her head ¡°Thanks mum¡­.. you made me the awesomedy I am today¡±

    Cecile raised a brow ¡°Awesome?¡­. I never said that¡± Cecile argued.

    There was a Knock on the door before it was pushed open.

    Cecile ruffled Amelia¡¯s hair slightly and left the room for the two.

    Amelia turned to Liam who had no expression on his face, she knew he must be upset with her considering the fact that she endangered his mum¡¯s life again.

    ¡°I¡¯m¡­ sorry Liam¡­ I had no other option, mum needed to be on her feet again if we really wanted to win this war against your grandfather¡± She said more like a whisper and avoided making eye contact with him .

    ¡°Thank you¡± his reply came out brief and quick which made Amelia raise her head to meet his eyes.

    Was he thanking her?, she thought he would be mad, she could already picture the state of the room if he eventually gets mad.

    Liam took slow steps towards her, he took both her hands in his and gave it a tight squeeze. ¡°You¡¯ve given her a new hope and chance to walk once more¡­. the doctors once said it was never going to be possible but you¡­.

    He pulled her into his arms, almost crushing her in the process.

    ¡°Liam¡­.. I.. can¡¯t breathe well¡± she breathed out, Liam released his grip on her.

    Amelia red at him while taking in deep breaths ¡°Do you want to squash me to death? and what is this? Liam Grayson saying thank you! I knew I was awesome¡­¡±

    Liam pulled her cheeks ¡°I¡¯m d I found a crazydy as a wife¡±

    Amelia gasped softly ¡°Well¡­. guess what? I¡¯m d I found an extremely arrogant man as a husband even though he can be really annoying at times¡±

    Liam lifted a brow ¡°You find these bad qualities in me? but guess who sees me as the man of her dreams?¡±

    Amelia folded her arm and threw her face to the other side.

    ¡°Nobody does¡±

    ¡°I bet Allison does¡­.¡±

    She ced her palm over his lips ¡°From today henceforth you are banned from saying her name and not just that don¡¯t even stare at her or even think about her¡±

    Liam chuckled, he loved her possessive side, he felt quite expensive.

    ¡°I like it when you act jealous, you look so cute that I find it hard to resist pinning you under me¡±

    Amelia blushed hard at his words, she could feel his hot gaze on her and she needed to act fast or else Liam would definitely do as he just said.

    Luckily for her Abby popped in through the slightly ajar door. ¡°Hey love birds we have to be at the ancestral home todaye downstairs we are all waiting for you two¡± she said hurriedly and left almost immediately but not without giving Amelia a teasing smile.

    Amelia touched Liam¡¯s shoulder staring deep into his eyes. ¡°Liam what is this gathering about? can¡¯t we stay out of this? your family members are crazy¡±

    ¡°And now that Fred and Allison had teamed up with your grandfather I can already predict the drama that would unfold over there¡­¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m Liam Grayson no one messes with me and luckily for me I have a very protective and possessive wife so what could go wrong?¡±

    Liam¡¯s reply gave her a ray of hope, she ced her hands together and said a few prayers for all to go well..

    Angie sat down on the long sofa like a queen, within a few minutes ofing into her original home, she had changed and that was because of her poor dumb husband.

    Nichs appeared rather upset, half of his head was covered with a white neat bandage which made him look like an idiot.

    ¡°If Liam eventuallyes here I will inflict the same injury on him also¡± he groaned out taking a seat beside his mum.

    Angie smiled at him, of course he was allowed to do that since she could now stand up against Liam in terms of power.

    ¡°Liam is really a fool! just like his parents even if father was mad, he could never hurt mark¡±

    Nichs turned to his mum ¡°but something bothers me though, what killed Liam¡¯s hatred against dad? he even signed the papers we gave him without having a second thought¡±

    A look of worry crossed Angie¡¯s face, she hadn¡¯t thought of that yet. She knew Liam was up to something but what exactly? that kid was just impossible to get rid of.

    ¡°I¡¯m very sure he is busy plotting his way out of this mess¡±

    Old Grayson walked into therge room with his majestic attire and a golden staff in his hands.¡±This is the feeling and taste of power¡±

    ¡°It sure is father¡­.. but where is mark? he should be here by now since its part of the deal we made with liam¡±

    Old Grayson sneered at the foolish woman sitting before him.¡±If Liam¡¯s sees his father, he won¡¯t get married to Allison, I hope that is clear enough or should I write it out on a piece of paper for you?¡± he scorned.

    ¡°So in other words you kidnapped dad?¡± Nichs asked in unbelief.

    ¡°Stop sounding like your mother when you know exactly what I did¡± Old Grayson said with a loud scoff. If ever apetition was held for foolish people he was that these two would make it to the first position.

    ..

    ra pointed at the top shelf where a white big hairy teddy bear was resting on. ¡°I want that one¡±

    Louisa nced towards Dn but he didn¡¯t give her any face at all. Were they serious now? how was she supposed to reach that teddy bear up so high?

    ¡°You are much more taller than us why don¡¯t you get it?¡± she questioned.

    Dn ced his two hands into his pocket, his gazended briefly at the bear before it returned to Louisa.

    ¡°You have no other choice than to do it¡±

    ¡°And what if I say no? we are no longer in the office for you to order me around¡± she fired back harshly.

    ¡°Get it down or you kiss your apartment goodbye!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡±

    Dn suddenly hard the urge to take back his words, but ra beat him to it, she stepped on his foot to stop him from speaking.

    ¡°Don¡¯t keep me waiting!¡± ra said impatiently, she could tell that Louisa and Dn still had a long way to go in forming a rtionship.

    Louisa cursed them beneath her breathe, she failed to understand what triggered this nasty change in him. He had never yelled at her or ordered her around ever since they met.

    But everything changed when he returned back today with thisdy iming to be his fiance.

    She stood on her toes to reach the teddy bear but ended up knocking down a whole shelf filled with breakables.

    Louisa gaped in horror, the shattering noise was loud enough to alert the sales manager.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry Mr Wesley the shelf must have been a bit wobbly that it fell¡± the sales manager apologized.

    Louisa sighed in relief, Dn was taking the me for what she did.

    ¡°Your shelf wasn¡¯t wobbly infact someone was!¡± he nced briefly at Louisa.

    The sales manager itched his head with a weird smile. ¡°Mr Wesley¡­. I¡¯m sure it was definitely our fault we should have checked¡­..

    ¡°Thisdy here did it¡±

    Louisa felt the blood drain from her face, when he pointed at her. She swallowed hard staring at the damaged goods, if she was to pay for all these she had to earn three times her sry for two months.

    Louisa turned to Dn with an apologetic look as cold sweat broke out on her forehead. ra touched Dn¡¯s arm. ¡°honey let¡¯s go to another mall¡­ I couldn¡¯t find anything to my taste over here¡±

    Dn nodded to her words and began walking away with her.

    ¡°So when are you nning to pay up? or should I call the cops?¡± The Manager¡¯s voice broke her out of her reverie, she sprinted towards Dn and held him back.

    ¡°Dn you can¡¯t leave yet now¡­.. how do I pay for all that? this wasn¡¯t entirely my fault¡±

    ra yanked Louisa¡¯s hand harshly from Dn¡¯s arm ¡°get your hands off him¡­. we didn¡¯t ask you to break the goods so fix this mess yourself!¡±

    Louisa wasn¡¯t paying any attention to ra, she fixed her gaze on Dn, was he going to let her get humiliated this way?

    ¡°Won¡¯t you say anything? you want to watch me getting humiliated right? then that¡¯s what you are going to see¡± she fired irritably at Dn.

    Louisa turned around in hurried footsteps and began destroying everything on each shelf.

 Chapter 120_ She is alive?! 2

    Dn was dumbfounded, she was literally crushing everything in sight.

    ¡°This isn¡¯t going as expected¡± he said to ra in a hushed tone.

    ra shrugged ¡°Well¡­ I find it amusing seeing as you will pay for all these damages¡­. such a temper¡± she chuckled.

    The sales manager alerted the security who came in quickly and held Louisa back down.

    ¡°Call the cops immediately¡­¡±

    Louisa struggled with the security men, scratching and kicking everyone who came near her.

    ra nudged Dn forward ¡°What are you waiting for?¡­. go and stop her¡± she muttered irritably.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡±

    The security men released Louisa from their grip, she sat on her knees gasping softly.

    ¡°You¡¯ve humiliated yourself enough, and I don¡¯t want you ruining my own image in the process¡±

    He pulled her up and held her chin ¡°No one knows that our engagement is over, don¡¯t bring a bad name to me and stop this madness¡±

    Louisa threw down his hand harshly ¡°You care only about your name, do you know what I will pass through once everyone gets to know the truth? Why did you involve me in your crazy world when you know that you leave tasks iplete or run away from them?!¡±

    Louisa took a step back ¡°I felt guilty for what I did to you, I¡¯m sure my words must have hurt you so bad and I was ready to apologize and admit my mistake¡±

    Dn noticed the crowd that was starting to form around them. He had to resolve this matter or else he might be on the headline tomorrow.

    ¡°Don¡¯t lecture me¡­ I didn¡¯t destroy the goods, you yourself did so don¡¯t try to pin the me on me and make me feel bad¡±

    ra rolled her eyes at the two, if things wasn¡¯t resolved right now, those bloody media can arrive any minute.

    She walked towards Dn and took out his wallet out of his inner pocket. She pulled out his card and handed it over to the sales manager.

    ¡°We will pay for the damages¡­. that¡¯s how nice we are¡± she shed a toothy smile at Louisa which only annoyed Louisa the more..

    ..

    Old Grayson rose up in anger, Angie noticed the deadly aura emitting from him.

    ¡°Is everything okay father?¡±

    ¡°Mark ran away from Fred¡¯s henchmen¡± he announced which left them silent for some time.

    Angie ruffled the hem of her dress as she thought of the worst punishment Liam could give her. ¡°I¡¯m so sure that he will make me pass through hell, how can Fred¡¯s men be so ipetent?¡±

    Nichs chuckled, he found this rather amusing, he could see fear in his grandfather¡¯s eyes.¡±Grandfather are you afraid of what Liam will do to you?¡±

    ¡°keep quiet you good for nothing! Liam is only a few years older than you and look at how clever he is while you are busy hiding under your mother¡¯s wings!¡±

    Angie turned sharply to old Grayson.¡±Father mind how you speak to my son! it¡¯s not his fault in any way!¡±

    ¡°So whose fault is it? mine? or perhaps yours? as far as I know, the Grayson¡¯s are all clever but that rule changed when this fool came in¡±

    ¡°Father don¡¯t!¡­

    They heard footsteps approaching the living room. They didn¡¯t need anyone to tell them who it might be.

    ¡°Hello grandfather!¡± Allison eximed walking hurriedly to old Grayson.

    Old Grayson forced a smile at her but red furiously at the person behind her.

    ¡°It wasn¡¯t my fault that he ran away¡± Fred defended taking a seat opposite Angie.

    ¡°You call yourself a mafia boss but you couldn¡¯t even handle a middle aged man¡± Angie fired at him.

    Fred narrowed his eyes at her ¡°Point a finger at me once more and I will make sure you don¡¯t have any fingers by the end of today!¡±

    ¡°Hey! don¡¯t threaten my mum¡± Nichs butted in but was shunned back by Angie.

    She didn¡¯t want him shouting for her sake and develop another headache, he was in a lot of pain already.

    ¡°Rx honey!¡±

    ¡°Can we all stop this? we are a team remember? we have the same goal and don¡¯t forget that I will soon be a part of this family so we need to n ahead of my wedding this weekend¡±

    Old Grayson banged his golden staff on the table ¡°Are you daft child? your ipetent brother here didn¡¯t guard our hostage like he is supposed to and so that means there is no wedding!¡±

    Allison¡¯s lips parted in anger, she had bragged a lot about this wedding to her friends what was she supposed to tell them if eventually this wedding gets called off?This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    ¡°so? I¡¯m not getting married to the hostage, I¡¯m getting married to Liam, what¡¯s the big deal if he escapes?¡±

    Nichs hissed at the level of stupidity thisdy possessed. ¡°Hey miss¡­.. you are quite aware that Liam won¡¯t dance happily to the wedding alter to marry you, we used my father as a bargaining tool and your foolish brother¡­. ¡±

    Allison raised her hand to silence Nichs ¡°Don¡¯t insult my brother¡­ you are nothing whenpared to him¡± she said harshly which made Nichs blood boil.

    Angie shook her head, no matter what this Allison does, she still preferred her to that actress. Amelia was a thorn in their flesh, she was the female version of Liam.

    ¡°Are you all done now?¡± Fred asked with a lifted brow..

    .

    Karl came down from the car after blocking the car in front of him.

    The other car doors flung open, Dn came down followed by ra.

    ra had a straight face when she saw Karl, who knew that she might see him today?

    Karl stared back and forth between the two, he couldn¡¯t help but wonder how they knew each other.

    ¡°ra¡­ I¡¯ve been searching for you all these while¡­..

    ¡°Did I go missing?¡± she said cutting him off, Louisa popped her head out of the car to see what was going on when she couldn¡¯t wait any longer she came down.

    ¡°Yes¡­. you left the¡­.

    Dn wrapped a protective arm around her slim waist which Karl took notice of. ¡°Can you make this quick? we are heading somewhere¡±

    ra folded her arm nodding to Dn¡¯s words, Karl felt the air around him seized.

    ¡°Take your hands off her!¡± he yelled charging towards Dn.

    ra took a step forward blocking his path ¡°Do you have a problem with that?¡± she questioned with a lifted brow.

    ¡°There are tons of problem with that, only I have the right over you not anyone else! I searched every where for you all these days that you were away¡­..

    ¡°There¡¯s no need for this sermon dude¡­. she is my fiancee now¡±

    Karl¡¯s jaw clenched, how dare this brat im ra as his own? but he had no other choice than to believe Dn¡¯s words since ra wasn¡¯t objecting to it.

    ¡°You¡­ left me to be with him? we¡¯ve been together for so long, you know that my life will be a mess without you¡­¡±

    ra¡¯s eyes stinged, Karl only needed time to see his true feelings about her, just when she was about to step forward to him Dn held her back.

    She snapped her head at him to receive a smirk in return. ¡°What goes aroundes around¡± he whispered into her ears.

    ra folded her arm in anger, he was only taking his revenge on her, she did the same thing to him when he tried to help Louisa.

    Karl¡¯s gaze shifted to the otherdy behind them who had been observing everything for a while.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t she thedy who you got engaged to weeks back?¡± Karl pointed at Louisa.

    Dn nced briefly at Louisa and scoffed ¡°I never did that¡­ It was just a prank¡­ right Louisa?¡±

    Louisa threw her face to the other side, that was such a ridiculous thing to ask her.

 Chapter 121_ She is alive?! 3

    A guard walked into the living room and bowed ¡°Master¡­ young master has arrived¡± he announced and was dismissed by old Grayson.

    Angie fanned herself with her fingers, Liam has arrived and she was sure that rudedy must havee with him also.

    ¡°Mum¡­ rx! you worry too much¡± Nichs said squeezing her palm.

    They all heard footsteps approaching the living room until they came in view.

    Liam came in with Amelia, they had a never ending smile on their faces.

    Allison red furiously at Amelia, she stared at Amelia¡¯s tummy which was still t. She suddenly recalled that Amelia was pregnant.

    ¡°Big bro¡­ we have a problem Ipletely forgot to mention that she was pregnant¡± she whispered

    Fred lifted a brow, that wasn¡¯t the case they only brought up that rumor to nt a seed of doubt in Liam¡¯s mind against Amelia.

    ¡°That was a cooked up story¡± he hushed her back but Allison wasn¡¯t convinced at all, the nurse back at Liam¡¯s house told her clearly that Amelia was pregnant.

    Liam took a seat and pulled Amelia to sit beside him. He met his grandfather¡¯s gaze and sneered at him.

    ¡°So I¡¯m here and that too with my wife¡­ tell us what you want and no beating around the bush¡±

    Amelia shed a smile at Allison, she noticed that Allison had been staring at her for a while now.

    ¡°Yeah¡­. his wife¡± she repeated and chuckled, Liam massaged his head. He could feel an uproaring soon and he wasn¡¯t in the mood to argue.

    ¡°Only for a few more days¡± Allison randomly said hoping to annoy Amelia.

    Amelia was about to retort but felt a squeeze on her hand, she shot Liam a look.¡±You know I can¡¯t stand any of them even for a second¡± she spat out.

    ¡°We had a deal¡­. and I¡¯ve done my part now it¡¯s time for you to do your own part¡± Liam said camly. facing old Grayson.

    ¡°You were such a fool for thinking that I would ever partner with you¡­. you¡¯ve been tricked Liam Grayson ¡­. now you worth nothing¡± old Grayson mocked.

    Liam rose up to his feet ¡°Everything you own now belongs to my mother¡±

    ¡°And she is dead! the poor thing didn¡¯t even get the chance to put everything she ever owned under your name¡±

    Liam nodded his head in understanding, so he was right, his mother owned most of the Grayson¡¯s wealth.

    ¡°Okay! enough of all these properties and wealths the most important thing here is my wedding with liam¡±

    Nichs and his mum sighed how could they exin it to this fool that there would be no wedding as far as mark was not in their custody any more.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    ¡°what wedding?¡± Amelia asked sharply

    ¡°Don¡¯t you know? this weekend I will be getting married to Liam and you won¡¯t be able to do anything about it!¡±

    Liam frowned ¡°I¡¯m very sure you are talking about a different Liam other than me¡±

    Allison¡¯s face darkened, if Liam didn¡¯t co operate she will be aughing stock till the end of days. She alone knew how much she had bragged about this wedding to everyone.

    ¡°What are you talking about? don¡¯t you know that she was betrothed to you?¡± Angie interjected.

    ¡°And guess who else has a son¡­ if Liam¡¯s marriage with her doesn¡¯t work then set up your son with her!¡± Amelia suggested to earn a re from Angie.

    Nichs sat up when he heard Amelia speak, even if he was mentally ill he would never get married to such a lousy and spoiltdy like Allison.

    ¡°Do you think that I will get my prince married to this mad woman?¡­

    Angie blurted out but it was toote to take it back she saw the smirk that formed on Amelia¡¯s lips.¡±And so Liam is fit to marry a mad woman? Aren¡¯t you just selfish?¡±

    Angie pointed a finger at Amelia ¡°Don¡¯t speak to me in that manner¡±

    Amelia grabbed Angie¡¯s finger and twisted it until a soft gasp escaped from Angie¡¯s lips. ¡°Don¡¯t point your filthy finger at me or else I will chop it off¡±

    Meanwhile¡­..

    Martha pulled Abby¡¯s ears which earned a scream from Abby.

    ¡°Ouch¡­ mum let go!¡± Abby screamed and wriggled her way out of Martha¡¯s grip.

    ¡°You ran away from home just to be here, do you know how many proposals came for you while you were away and what of the blind dates I arranged for you? you left them waiting at various ces iming to be on your way and here you are!¡±

    Abby folded her arm with her face scrunched, she had tried to reason with her mum about her obsession to get her married off quickly.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t ask you to set me up on dates!¡± she defended herself.

    ¡°So do you want to spend the rest of your life alone? and what did I tell you about staying away from that cursed boy?¡±

    Abby¡¯s eyes widened ¡°Are you referring to Liam as a cursed boy? you know no matter what you say about him I won¡¯t see him that way¡±

    Martha tapped Abby¡¯s head ¡°You better do! once this meeting is over we are going back home¡­. I want you married off before this year runs out!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to get married to anyone! I have a right to choose who I want to get married to!¡± she spat back.

    ¡°If I wait for you to choose then I¡¯m sure you are going to die as a spinster!¡± Martha breathed out In anger. She didn¡¯t want her daughter to end up like her. She squeezed Abby¡¯s arm.

    ¡°Tell me if there¡¯s someone you have in mind already, I will set up the alliance¡±

    Abby bit her lips in deep thought, if she told her mum that she was interested in one of Liam¡¯s friends she wouldn¡¯t even consider it.

    ¡°There¡¯s no one yet but if there ever is I will let you know¡± Abby promised but crossed her fingers behind her back.

    Martha smiled sweetly at her, Abby forced a smile back but deep down she was hurt, the woman who she called her mother tried to murder her favorite aunt.

    She wasn¡¯t Martha¡¯s biological daughter but she was treated like one. Martha had no husband, so she had to adopt a child to ease her lonely life.

    ¡°I will get Chloe¡± Abby excused herself and left Martha¡¯s side..

    .

    Abby struggled keeping up with Chloe, the little girl was a mini version of Amelia.

    ¡°I don¡¯t like your new hair¡­ go back to the saloon and take back your money¡± Her small voice echoed in the hallway.

    Abby pinched Chloe¡¯s mouth and made sure no one was watching. ¡°You speak too much for your age!¡±

    ¡°And you are too old to be arguing with a child¡± Chloe retorted and dashed off.

    ¡°now I know why Liam doesn¡¯t like her much¡± she opened her purse and brought out a small mirror. She examined her hair for a while and suddenly had second thought about it.

    ¡°Is my new hairdo really that bad?¡± she mumbled beneath her breathe.

    Chloe entered the living room, she spotted Amelia standing beside Liam while having a heated argument with Allison.

    ¡°listen to me actress don¡¯t think this is one of your shows where you speak how you want¡­. can¡¯t you see that you are the viin in my love story?¡±

    Chloe hid behind Amelia to avoid being seen by her mother and Nichs.

    ¡°Big sis¡­ I don¡¯t want to stay here anymore¡± she whined tugging Amelia¡¯s dress.

    The room fell quiet as they turned to the owner of the childish voice.

    ¡°Chloe!¡± Angie called out and urged her to step forward.

    However the kid had a mind of her own she held Amelia¡¯s legs tightly refusing to let go.

    ¡°Even your child knows of your despicable ways¡± Liam scorned.

 Chapter 122_ She is alive?! 4

    Cecile massaged Brianna¡¯s legs as they both waited patiently for their children toe back home.

    ¡°I¡¯m having an odd feeling about this¡­. old Grayson is very vicious, I¡¯m scared that he might hurt our children¡±

    Cecile sighed and sat up ¡°I¡¯m also having the same feeling¡­¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t sit here and watch that old hag destroy the lives of my children¡± Brianna mumbled and gripped the handle of her wheelchair.

    Cecile gasped softly and held her back down ¡°You will hurt yourself¡± she scolded.

    Brianna wasn¡¯t having any of it she gripped the wheelchair¡¯s armrest and slowly helped herself uppletely refusing Cecile¡¯s help..

    Mark sighed in relief when the ancestral building came in sight, he had to reach his son and expose old Grayson in front of everyone.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    He stopped on his track when he found some strange looking men surrounding the environment, he didn¡¯t recognize them to be their guards either.

    He concluded on the fact that this men present must be Fred¡¯s men.

    One of the men caught sight of him sneaking around and alerted the others. ¡°Hey! catch him¡±

    Mark sprinted running into the building, he felt a bit relieved after seeing one of Liam¡¯s car parked outside which clearly meant that Liam was still present in the building.

    Fred who was in the living room got a text saying mark was in the building. He sat up and nced briefly at old Grayson trying tomunicate with him.

    Amelia hissed in annoyance and left the living room, if she stayed any longer she was going to cause damages.

    ¡°Such an attitude..¡± Angie muttered irritably.

    ¡°Liam you have two choices get married to Allison or you step down from your post as the CEO of¡­..

    Liam arched a brow ¡°And what makes you think that I will do that?¡±

    ¡°If you want to see your father again then you will have to do it¡± old Grayson scorned.

    Liam massaged his temples ¡°He is your son after all.. you can¡¯ty a finger on him¡±

    ¡°I killed my wife without batting an eye and we can say the same about your mum¡±

    Mark ran into the hallway, he could tell that those men were after him but he must see Liam no matter what happens.

    He could hear the voicesing from the living room, just when he was about to step into it a firm hand was ced over his mouth to stop him from screaming out after which he was injected on his neck.

    The henchman slowly dragged him out of there when he saw mark loosing consciousness.

    He hadn¡¯t gotten far when a ss shattered on his head, the man held his head as he slowly turned around to see who had hit him.

    He met a pair of angry hazel orbs ring at him before he could grab her she grabbed a vase from the balcony beside her and smashed it on his head again.

    The noise was enough to alert everyone in the living room, Liam was the first to sprint out, Amelia had gone out a while ago and he was a bit scared after he heard that noise.

    He rushed towards her and examined her body looking for any possible injury but he found none.

    ¡°Are you alright?¡±

    Amelia nodded and pointed at mark who was onying on the floor. ¡°That goon injected something into his body that is why he passed out¡±

    Liam crotched down and checked for mark¡¯s pulse. ¡°He is still alive¡±

    Amelia dashed off and returned back with a ss of water. She sprinkled some on his face for sometime before his eye lids moved.

    Allison chewed on her nails, she prayed that mark never woke up, if he did her chances of getting married to Liam will be very slim.

    ¡°I pray he dies, if he wakes up he is going to blurt out the whole truth to everyone¡± she mumbled to herself.

    Angie pulled Nichs back ¡°What do we do now? your father got here, this actress has always been a bad luck! what is the point of acting like a heroine?¡±

    ¡°Mum! she is not a bad omen, Fred¡¯s men are just as useless as he is¡±

    Angie smacked his arm ¡°I hope you are not still dreaming about her, she is a curse but we have to divert the me on someone else¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sure she must have done something to him, my poor husband ¡± Angie wailed out pointing at Amelia.

    ¡°You know well enough that Fred is responsible for this, his crazy obsession to get his sister married to my husband has blinded him to harm my father!¡± Amelia fired back.

    ¡°I did no such thing and beside I don¡¯t even know who this man is!¡±

    Liam helped his dad sit up, he turned towards Fred in anger and before thetter could figure out what he was up to, a punch was sent directly to his face.

    Fred touched his bleeding nose and charged back at Liam, Amelia¡¯s brows creased in worry her eyes darted around till itnded on the marbled floor, she picked up a broken piece of the vase and ran in on Fred¡¯s arm.

    Liam pulled Amelia back as they watch Fred groan in pain. Allison ced her palm over his bleeding arm.

    ¡°Big bro¡­ have you both lost your mind?!¡±

    ¡°Your brother crossed all the line when he tried to harm my father!¡± Amelia answered back with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

    ¡°Liam this isn¡¯t over!¡± Fred said through gritted teeth.

    Old Grayson clenched his jaw hard, their ns has gone down the drain. And it was all thanks to thisdy Liam got married to.

    ¡°You won¡¯t be a bother to me anymore¡­..¡± Liam¡¯s icy cold tone sent shivers down his spine.

    ¡°If I had known that you will turn out to be a thorn in my flesh, I would have buried you alongside with your mum!¡± old Grayson stated taking slow steps towards Liam.

    ¡°Definitely father! living without a mother all these years has made him so cruel and foolish¡± Angie added.

    ¡°You are very much alive and your son is this foolish, I can¡¯t imagine when you are dead¡­ I¡¯m sure he will be an imbecile¡± Ameliaughed out dryly.

    Angie¡¯s lips twitched, she clenched her fists by her sides. ¡°You both deserve each other, even though one has a mother she is still so sassy and rude and on the other hand one doesn¡¯t even have a mother so bad!¡±

    ¡°And who told you that they don¡¯t mother¡¯s?!¡± A voice resonated from the hallway.

    Angie¡¯s face paled, she recognized that voice so much, mark¡¯s eyelids fluttered open, he also found that voice very familiar.

    They snapped their gaze to the direction of the voice and two women came in view, one on a wheelchair and the other ring furiously at Angie.

    Brianna pulled off herrge hat and dark spectacles. ¡°His mum is here try asking me that question Angie!¡±

    Angie¡¯s lips quivered as she pointed her fingers shakingly at Brianna. ¡°G.. hos.. t!!¡±

    Old Grayson clutched his chest and fell to the ground with a loud thud.

    Mark¡¯s breathing seized for a while before he could react everything else turned ck.

    ¡°She is alive?!¡± Angie eximed in shock, she shook her head in disbelief and startedughing out loud.

    ¡°You better believe it bestie¡­.. you snatched away my happiness and my family from me, now that the real owner of this house is around let me see anyone who will im my son¡¯s right from him!¡±

    Nichs shook his mum, she wasughing out like a maniac which was already getting out of hands.

    ¡°Mum¡­ what is going on with you?¡±

    Liam released a sly grin ¡°I told you yesterday that you won¡¯t be able to attend my wedding¡­. Your grandfather will be in the hospital till he dies, your mum will be at an asylum and you will be in jail!¡± He brought out his phone and made a quick call.

    ¡°Send them all in!¡±

 Chapter 123_ The taste of victory

    Dn pulled over in front of ra¡¯s hotel, she alighted and bade him goodbye before going into the hotel hurriedly.

    Dn nced briefly at Louisa through the rearview mirror. ¡°When do you n to get off?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t see my apartment in sight¡± she replied back.

    ¡°do you think that I¡¯m your driver?¡± he mumbled and started the car which moved at a slow pace.

    ¡°You are on the driver¡¯s seat I bet you can answer that question yourself!¡±

    Dn stepped on the brakes and the car came to an abrupt stop.

    Louisa looked out of the windshield, she wasn¡¯t anywhere near her apartment yet. ¡°Why did you stop?¡±

    Dn stepped out of the car and opened the backseat where she was seated. with a single pull she was out of the car.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you find a cab from here¡±

    Louisa looked around her surroundings, it was already getting dark.

    ¡°Dn I won¡¯t be able to get a cab from here¡­. it¡¯s getting dark and I¡­.

    ¡°Well that¡¯s your sad story¡± Dn mocked and returned back to his car.

    Louisa watched his car vanish from her sight and cursed after it. ¡°Jerk!¡±

    She clutched her purse as she walked down the deserted street..

    .

    Cecile and Brianna bowed their heads while they received some scoldings from Liam.

    ¡°You both could have gotten seriously hurt today¡±

    Brianna exchanged gazes with Cecile, how could they sit and do nothing when the lives of their kids were at stake.

    ¡°we didn¡¯t die alright! we made your work easier now those evil souls are out of your lives¡± Cecile defended.

    ¡°Come on mum¡­. I know this must have been your idea, and then you lecture me about how to behave like a proper girl¡± Amelia added.

    Brianna touched her head and sighed ¡°Liam why are we still on this? we should be celebrating our victory against those awful people¡±

    Amelia rolled her eyes, these two didn¡¯t quite get what they were driving at.

    Abby came down from the steps hurriedly with a scarf wrapped around her head.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    ¡°Abby what¡¯s with the scarf?¡± Amelia asked trying to take a peek.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing I need to be at a¡­. friend¡¯s funeral¡± she blurted out which the others found weird before they could ask anymore questions she dashed off.

    ¡°It¡¯s getting dark where is she off to?¡±

    Amelia and Liam returned their attention back to the two women who were sneaking their way out.¡±Going somewhere?¡±

    ..

    Nichs banged the iron rods in anger, never in his wildest dream has he ever thought of staying behind bars.

    ¡°Hey! get me out of here!¡± he yelled banging the iron bars.

    He heard a slow footstep approaching his cell, and a man came in view.

    ¡°You?!¡±

    The middle aged man opened his arm with a roguish grin.

    ¡°It is really sad to learn about what happened to you and your family but I had to get involved since this concerns my children also¡± Mr William said gripping the iron bars.

    Liam Grayson didn¡¯t spare his children either and he wasn¡¯t going to take things easy with him.

    ¡°Get me out of here Mr Williams I can help you get the desired revenge after all my mum is at the asylum¡±

    Mr Williams shook his head ¡°you must be aware of how much my daughter loves your half brother, and I¡¯m ready to do anything to make her wishe true¡±

    ¡°And what about Amelia? she is a fiercedy and won¡¯t let anything of that sought happen¡±

    ¡°ording to what I¡¯ve heard so far, you are interested in your sister inw, I make dreamse true, give me only a week and those two won¡¯t be able to stand each other after I am done with them¡± His voice came out t and void of emotions.

    He had heard a lot about this Amelia Hart who tamed such an arrogant man like Liam and at the same time made Fred¡¯s life a mess.

    ¡°Amelia is a lioness¡­ nothing we¡¯ve done so far seemed to yield any fruit¡± Nichs tried to convince the mayor but his mind was already made up.

    ¡°That¡¯s the clear difference between you and I, I¡¯ve been the mayor for years now and I know everything about nning and plottings!¡±

    Nichs moved back into the cell and massaged his head, now he knew where Fred¡¯s and Allison¡¯s foolishness came from.

    ¡°Mr mayor Amelia and the city are two different things, why don¡¯t you go after Liam instead, he is the root cause of all these problems¡­. Amelia has nothing to do with this!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s your part of the story¡± Mr Williams sneered and left the police station. He had to fly into the country after he learnt about his children¡¯s ordeal..

    .

    Louisa stopped on her tracks, she turned back once more but found no one in the deserted street. She could feel someone was following her after Dn abandoned her here.

    She walked hurriedly increasing her pace, and she could feel that her stalker was getting nearer to her.

    A hand went over her mouth to stop her from screaming out, Louisa scratched and bit whoever was holding her.

    She turned behind her to find an unfamiliar man ring at her while holding his arm which she bit, she could also see her teeth marks deeply imprinted on his skin.

    The man reached his hand out to grab her but she bolted off running down the long deserted street.

    She could see his shadowing nearer to her, she looked behind her to see how close he was to her. She crashed into a body in front of her.

    The man chasing after her stopped andughed out loud at her. ¡°Try running away now!¡±

    The other man in front of her pulled her hair back harshly and leaned forward inhaling her scent.

    ¡°We found a very tasty one, get the van ready¡± He ordered taking in Louisa¡¯s features.

    Louisa spat at him in disgust and threw a p at his face which only annoyed him the more.

    ¡°You daredid your hands on me you b*tch!, I will show you what we do to other b*itches like your self!¡±

    The two men grabbed her and pulled her to an abandoned building.

    Louisa screamed out kicking frantically as he fondled with her shirt buttons.

    ¡°Let me go!¡­¡±

    The man smiled eerily at her ¡°Even if I wasn¡¯t paid to do this I won¡¯t have controlled myself if I had seen you walking alone¡±

    He pressed her against the wall and leaned forward to her, before he could move an inch further he was smacked on the head.

    Louisa opened her eyes shaking in fear as she saw the man unconscious on the ground.

 Chapter 124_ Paralyzed

    Louisa raised her gaze from the unconscious man to the person who just saved her. The other man took off to his heels after recognizing who it was.

    Dn pulled off his coat and draped it over her shoulder since most of her buttons have been pulled off.

    He was taken by surprise when she embraced him, she sobbed gently staining his white shirt..

    .

    Dn stopped the car in front of her apartment but she was still so dazed to see that she has arrived at her destination.

    ¡°Louisa¡­.

    He called out to see her flinch, she nced briefly at him.

    ¡°I asked you to get a cab but you decided to walk all the way home¡­.¡±

    ¡°You left ady on the street sote at night what did you expect?¡± she voiced out and opened the door to step out.

    ¡°But I came back¡­ because I still needed an assistant for tomorrow¡¯s meeting¡±.

    Louisa parted her lips in disbelief as she stared at Dn, he was the exact opposite of his former self, what triggered this ugly side of his?

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe how much you¡¯ve changed in thest couple of days? what happened to that Dn who never yells or scolds me? even though I said hurtful things to him he justughs it off¡­

    Dn¡¯s lips pulled into a roguish smirk, so she missed his good side.

    ¡°I got information that Louisa doesn¡¯t like that side of me¡­. anyways goodnight and don¡¯t make the mistake ofingte to the office tomorrow morning¡±.

    Louisa blinked and watched his car move away, she turned around going back into her apartment when she remembered his coat was still on her..

    .

    Abby held the tip of her nose as the strong smell of liquors and cigarette wafted through her nostrils.

    Her eyes pierced through the club house in search for someone, she noticed the weird gazes some people were throwing at her.

    As soon as she found the person she was searching for, she matched towards his table where he was drinking with his friends.

    She drew out a seat, which made a screeching noise on the floor but wasn¡¯t heard by many because of the booming music.

    The three snapped their heads to her, Abby ignored their gazes and pulled the ss off James hand and gulped down the content in one go.

    She scrunched her face and sniffed the ss ¡°Yuck! what¡¯s this stuff?¡±

    Dn stroked his chin trying to know where he knew thisdy from, he knew that he has seen her somewhere but where exactly?This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    ¡°It¡¯s vodka¡± Steven replied while nudging James to speak out.

    ¡°So let¡¯s get straight to the point¡­.. give me back my keys!¡± James said impatiently.

    Abby raised a brow and pulled out the key from her purse, she dangled it in front of him and when he tried to grab it, she pulled it away from his reach.

    Dn leaned towards Stephen and managed to utter a few words to him. ¡°Who is she?¡±

    ¡°Liam¡¯s cousin sister¡± Steven answered.

    James massaged his temples, thisdy was here again to piss him off. ¡°just give me back my keys, there are plenty of guys in here who you can trouble¡± James grunted out.

    Abby shrugged her shoulders nonchntly, she wasn¡¯t ready to give him his keys just yet, the keys was just an excuse to meet with him.

    ¡°I love troubling you dear, why would I go to any other guy when you are here¡± she said blinking her eyes.

    Dn pulled Steven¡¯s arm, as they stood up ¡°Okay this is getting really ufortable, we will be over there waiting for you so¡­ enjoy!¡± Dn jested stressing hisst word, he patted James shoulder and left the table with Steven.

    James tugged his shirt, he suddenly felt hot in the clubhouse because of Abby¡¯s intense stare.

    ¡°Now that they are gone can we talk?¡± Abby started.

    James avoided her questioning gaze, he knew what she might say next and he wasn¡¯t ready for that.

    ¡°there¡¯s nothing to talk about¡± James blurted out still tugging his shirt.

    Abby tilted her head to the side, ¡°You¡¯ve been avoiding me ever since that night¡±

    James attempted to stand up from his seat but he was pulled back down by Abby. ¡°You can¡¯t run away from it this time¡±

    James sighed and filled his ss, he took a deep breath and drank the contents in one gulp.

    ¡°I told you that night was just like every other night I have had, it was also a mistake¡±

    Abby¡¯s face turned pale, she rubbed her palm together to control herself from screaming out at him.

    ¡°A mistake? that was my first night James!¡± sheshed out at him.

    ¡°And I¡¯m sorry about that, it wasn¡¯t entirely my fault, we were both drunk at your grandfather¡¯s birthday party and please don¡¯t ask me to take responsibility¡±

    Abby sprang up to her feet, and caught his cor ¡°I dare you to say that once more!¡±

    Dn and Steven who were watching them from a distance rose up to their feet. ¡°that was quick¡± Steven mumbled.

    ¡°Let¡¯s check it out¡± Dn answered back.

    James touched her hands that were gripping his shirt, she was drawing attention to them which was bad for his image.

    ¡°Abby stop this! my reputation is at stake here¡± he said in a low tone.

    ¡°Damn you and your reputation!¡± she released her grip on his shirt and picked up her purse.

    She ced his keys on the table and turned back to him once more. ¡°Don¡¯t ever cross my path again!¡± she warned sternly and left the clubhouse..

    .

    Martha was led into the room where her father was currently staying in. She walked towards the bed and ced her palm over her mouth.

    ¡°Father I¡¯m sorry you had to go through this, who knew that Brianna was still alive? please get well soon¡±

    ¡°Miss Grayson¡±

    Martha wiped her tears and turned towards the doctor. ¡°Doctor¡­.. what happened to him?¡±

    ¡°He had an attack and I¡¯m sorry to inform you that he is paralysed from the waist down¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Martha¡¯s lips parted as she stared at her father.

    The doctor took in a deep breath and exited the room.

    Martha returned to his side and took his hands in his sobbing gently.

    ¡°Dad can you hear what that insane doctor is saying? please open your eyes and speak to me¡±

    ..

    Amelia had a never ending smile on her lips when she woke up, she checked the time and assumed Liam has gone down for breakfast.

    She hurried down from the bed to freshen up quickly, the new chapter of her life has just began.

    However when she got down, she was surprised at the scene she witnessed.

    Liam took a nce at her and urged her toe over to him, she reluctantly walked over to him. ¡°Liam what is going on?¡±

    ¡°Dad is trying to win back my mum¡¯s heart¡±

    Brianna threw her face to the other side in anger, she knew it wasn¡¯t all his fault but she needed someone to vent all her anger on.

    ¡°Anna don¡¯t make this hard for me, I¡¯ve lived all these years without you and I feel iplete please don¡¯t make me go through this again¡± mark pleaded taking her hands in his.

    Amelia¡¯s eyes watered at the sight, she nced briefly at her mum who shook her head.

    Cecile turned around and left for the kitchen, she knew what Amelia was thinking about and it wasn¡¯t going to happen.

    Amelia followed her mum to the kitchen and sat at the counter sulking.

    ¡°I know what you are thinking honey and that is impossible¡± Cecile dered chopping an onion.

    ¡°Just give me one reason why this can¡¯t happen between you and dad¡±

    Cecile sighed and turned towards Amelia ¡°Amy you are no longer a child, you should understand this better¡±

    Amelia jumped down from the counter and stood in front of Cecile with a folded arm.¡±make me understand mum, I know you and dad still have that deep connection you once shared¡±

    ¡°Your dad and I are divorced and you know what caused the divorce¡± Cecile reasoned.

    ¡°Geez mum¡­ do you know how much it hurt me to watch you stay single and lonely while I grew up?¡±

    Cecile rolled her eyes and returned to chopping the onion. Amelia doesn¡¯t understand what her father was like.

    ¡°If you won¡¯t listen to me then I will make dad understand instead¡±

 Chapter 125_ No way!! 1

    Jenna banged the door to Dn¡¯s room hurriedly, she sighed and turned back to Jerry and Olivia. ¡°He doesn¡¯t want to open up¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe him.. he snuck back in the middle of the night¡± Olivia said in unbelief, normally whenever he runs away like that he spends a month or two and sometimes three whole month away from home.

    ¡°I think we¡¯ve entered a time portal, maybe this is the future, Dn can nevere back so early¡± Jenna mumbled out.

    The door clicked open, Dn raised a brow in suspicion seeing them all in front of his door.

    ¡°What exactly is going on?¡± he questioned but received silence in return, he snapped his fingers at their faces to bring them out of their trance.

    ¡°Dn is that really you?¡± Jenna cried out and embraced him warmly.

    ¡°Okay! what is going on?¡± Dn asked again, he still wanted to know why they were here.

    ¡°The thing going on is that you are back so early and we want to know why!¡± Jerry said to receive a smack from Jenna.

    ¡°Hahaha very funny Jerry, our son came back earlier than normal this time and you are asking that!¡±

    Olivia tapped her head in embarrassment, in their family the children acts like adults while the adult acts like toddlers. They were one weird happy family but sometimes they get on her nerves like right now!

    ¡°You there! go and tell the cooks to make his favorite meals¡± Jenna ordered pointing at Olivia.

    ¡°Mum it¡¯s Olivia!¡±

    ¡°Oh! whatever just do as I said!¡±

    Olivia stomped away, of course as always it¡¯s all about Dn, whenever hees back home after a while of being away, they flock around him andpletely forget about her existence.

    She recalled the time her mum left her for a whole week at summer camp just because Dn returned back home.

    Dn walked past his parents heading down, he didn¡¯t want them ruining his day with their never ending questions.

    ¡°Dn did you visit Louisa?¡± Jenna asked, Dn halted and turned to her.

    ¡°Is she sick? why do I need to visit her?¡± his response came out sharp and cold.

    Jenna gasped softly and touched her chest ¡°Did you hear that Jerry?¡±

    ¡°Dn she is your fiancee¡± Jerry said which Jenna affirmed to.

    Dn peeped at his watch, time was running out for him, he had a meeting with some foreign clients and it was very important.

    ¡°We will talk about this when I get back¡±

    ..

    Louisa stood up with the other employees when Dn arrived. They greeted him in unison which he nodded to.

    He stopped beside Louisa¡¯s cubicle ¡°I know that some of you are burning in anger and I don¡¯t really care about it however miss Louisa can you please tell me why it took you so long to stand up?¡±

    Louisa had a weird look on her face, what does he mean by that? She got up when others did or was he trying to provoke her so early?

    ¡°I stood up when others did¡± she replied through gritted teeth, she felt like pulling his hair so hard.

    Dn narrowed his eyes down at her ¡°In other words I¡¯m telling lies?¡±

    Louisa took a nce around her, her colleagues were already whispering among themselves, why was he trying to embarrass her so early in the morning?Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t say that, I¡¯m sorry if you thought about it that way¡± she apologized with a re.

    ¡°Get the files ready and bring them in¡± he ordered and left for his office.

    Louisa slumped back on her seat and searched for the files he asked for, when she brought it out from her bag a pink pencil fell out.

    She creased her brows and picked up the pencil, the moment she saw it she knew who it belonged to.

    ¡°This belongs to Chloe, but what is it doing in my bag?¡± she shrugged off the thoughts and took the file away with her.

    The business partners were led into the office, Dn stood up from his seat and exchanged handshakes with the three of them.

    He was honestly shocked by their appearance, he thought that they were middle aged business men but who knew that they were about his age.

    ¡°It¡¯s nice to finally meet you Mr Wesley¡± one of themmented and introduced himself as jack.

    Louisa took a seat next to Dn and she could swear that she wasn¡¯tfortable with him anymore.

    ¡°We¡¯ve briefed you about everything pertaining the new project, so this is the agreement documents¡± Dn pointed at the file on Louisa¡¯s hands.

    ¡°Louisa hand it over to them¡± Dn ordered which she did without hesitating, she returned back to her seat and rxed back, her only task in here has been aplished.

    Jack collected the paper and flipped through the pages, his brows drew together and he flew up in rage. ¡°Are you trying to embarrass us Mr Wesley?¡±

    Dn and Louisa exchanged brief nced before they settled on jack.

    ¡°What is the problem?¡± Dn asked, jack handed the file back to Dn.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you have a look yourself¡±

    Dn flipped through the pages and sighed, Louisa was rmed when she saw Dn¡¯s reaction.

    ¡°Louisa what is the meaning of this?¡± Dn asked pushing the file towards her.

    Louisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat as she stared at the weird drawings and writings on the paper, some pages were even torn out.

    Louisa¡¯s eyes widened as she recalled the pencil that fell out earlier. ¡°I¡­.. actually¡­ this¡­¡± she stuttered trying to find a meaningful words to put together.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Mr Wesley but this deal can¡¯t work anymore¡± jack said and left the office with his two associates.

    Louisa bit her nails as she stared at Dn, he was calm now and she could tell that he was about to erupt.

    ¡°Dn this isn¡¯t my¡­¡­¡±

    ¡°I gave you only one task Louisa! just one! did you do this to get a revenge on me? you went too far do you know how much mypany is going to lose because you?¡±

    Louisa shut her eyes tightly, she didn¡¯t want to see his angry face.

    ¡°I¡¯m speaking to you say something!¡± he mmed his hand on his table.

    Louisa jerked a bit from the sudden bang, her mouths moved but no coherent words came out of it.

    ¡°I promise this wasn¡¯t a revenge, this isn¡¯t my doing, Chloe did it¡± Louisa managed to say.

    ¡°Stop making excuses, you will have to fix this mess yourself¡± Dn fired at her and she turned around and left his office.

    Louisa dashed out running towards the elevator, they mustn¡¯t have gone that far. Luckily for her she saw them about to enter the elevator.

    ¡°Mr jack wait!¡± she breathed out panting slightly, she approached them with hurried footsteps.

    Jack raised a brow at her, ¡°Do you want to embarrass us the more?¡± he asked in a hostile tone.

    Louisa shook her head ¡°No not at all¡­. please don¡¯t leave yet, we didn¡¯t do this deliberately actually my niece did that, we¡¯ve been partners for some months now and you¡¯ve never experienced this, please reconsider and give us another chance¡± she ced her palm together.

    Jack seized her a look andmunicated in a hush voice with his associates. She prayed that they reconsider their decision otherwise she won¡¯t be able to face Dn if thepany experiences bankruptcy.

    ¡°Okay we will give you another chance¡± jack said after a while which drew a smile on Louisa¡¯s lips.

    She breathed out in relief ¡°thank you so much¡­.. Please this way¡± she led them back to Dn¡¯s office.

    Dn was surprised when he saw theming in again, he nced briefly at Louisa who smiled weirdly at him.

    ¡°Mr Wesley we¡¯ve reconsidered our decision, please arrange for the right documents tomorrow we have to catch our flight back for a convention¡±

    Dn nodded and shed them a smile, he shook their hands once more and watched them leave.

    Louisa turned to leave also but he called her back ¡°Don¡¯t expect a thank you from me because you caused it in the first ce and most importantly don¡¯t repeat this mistake again!¡±

    Louisa raised a brow, does it look like she was expecting one?

    ¡°I wasn¡¯t expecting one either, if you really don¡¯t want this to repeat itself tomorrow then I think you should give the task to someone else or perhaps do it yourself!¡± she blurted out.

 Chapter 126_ No way!! 2

    Martha collected the tray from the maid and dismissed her, she returned her gaze back to Abby¡¯s closed door and sighed.

    She recalled how upset Abby was when she returned back homest night.

    She pushed the door open and walked into the room, her brows drew together when she saw Abby doing yoga.

    She had expected to see a torn apart room or perhaps a crying Abby cuddled up in a nket.

    Martha ced the tray of food on the table and opened the curtains to lighten up the semi dark room.

    Abby opened one of her closed eyes to see what her mum was up to.

    ¡°Abby can we talk?¡± Martha asked but received silence in return except from the yoga guide master that was speaking on the t screen tv.

    ¡°Hmmm¡­.. this is yoga mum, everywhere is meant to be quiet¡± Abby scolded.

    Martha switched off the tv and folded her arm. ¡°I said we need to talk!¡±

    Abby rolled her eyes and stood up, she grabbed a bottle of water and drank a mouth full.

    ¡°I¡¯m all ears¡±

    Martha took Abby¡¯s hands and led her to sit on the bed.

    ¡°Abby I know you might think that I¡¯m overbearing but I¡¯m doing everything for your own good¡±

    Abby could already predict where this was going and she wasn¡¯t ready to hear it.

    ¡°Mum I know where this heading¡± Abby said hurriedly and was about to get up but was held back down by Martha.

    ¡°Honey listen to me, it was so unfortunate that I couldn¡¯t get married and I don¡¯t want the same for my daughter¡­.. Abby a proposal came for you today and we are to meet them today for lunch¡±

    Abby¡¯s eyes widened, who else in the city has she not rejected? why was everyone so obsessed in getting her Married?.

    ¡°Mum I¡¯m in a bad mood and I don¡¯t want to get married to anyone, reject the proposal¡±

    Martha¡¯s heart mmed against her ribcage, that was what she was scared of hearing, she didn¡¯t want Abby to end up like her.

    ¡°So I don¡¯t have any hope of ying with my grandchildren or dressing you up for your wedding? why am I so cursed?!¡± Martha sobbed gently.

    Abby rolled her eyes, her mum was at it again with her emotional ckmail. ¡°Alright enough mum¡­.. we will have lunch with them but I cannot promise you that I will get married to the guy¡±

    Martha sniffed back her tears and touched Abby¡¯s cheeks. ¡°You¡¯ve just made my day darling here have your breakfast¡±

    ..

    Cecile caught hold of Amelia who was about to leave the kitchen. ¡°Stop this madness Amy! how many times will I say this? I don¡¯t want to get back together with your dad!¡±

    Amelia shrugged off her mum¡¯s hold on her ¡°Why? do you still think that he is the same person who goes around with multiple women? mum¡­. dad has changed, uncle mark also made dad¡¯s mistake but mum Cecile forgave him why won¡¯t you do the same?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯tpare mark with your dad Amelia, mark¡¯s affair was a mistake but your dad? I guess I don¡¯t need to speak so much about it¡±

    Cecile rinsed her hands under the running tap and dried it off with a hand towel.

    ¡°You are being too difficult on yourself¡± Amelia said in a lowered tone.

    Cecile shook her head slowly ¡°With time you will understand everything¡± she replied briefly and left the kitchen.

    Amelia stomped her feet in anger, her mum doesn¡¯t want to understand her point of view, there¡¯s nothing wrong in making up with your ex if you both still love each other.

    ¡°She calls me stubborn but guess who is more stubborn¡± she murmured..

    ..

    Dn raised a brow at Louisa¡¯s outburst, he could tell from her expression that she was having a battle in keeping her cool.

    ¡°Payday is fast approaching mind how you speak to me¡± Dn threatened which didn¡¯t have any effect on her.

    ¡°So? you are going to cut it off by ten percent or more? I¡¯m only tolerating your behavior because we are in the office¡±

    Louisa brought out a pencil from her purse and snapped it into halves. Dn gulped down, was she threatening him by doing that?

    ¡°Are you trying to threaten me?¡± He stood up looking down at her.

    ¡°What type of mentality do you have? I snapped my pencil into halves and you took it personal and assumed it as a threat¡±

    Dn felt like screaming on top of his lungs but he couldn¡¯t, her re was doing something weird to his body system.

    The door to the office pushed open and Jenna stomped in angrily with ra who was tailing behind her.

    ¡°Dn! you¡¯ve got some exnations to do¡± she barked out feigning anger.

    Dn rolled his eyes and slumped back to his seat, he touched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

    These threedies present in his office were created just to torture him.

    ¡°Oh hi Louisa¡± Jenna waved and smiled sweetly at her, she snapped her gaze towards Dn and her sweet smile vanishedpletely.

    ra smiled at Louisa which thetter ignored, she could tell that Louisa was being hostile with her because of Dn¡¯s engagement to her.

    ¡°Mum I told you that I will speak to you when I got back from work, I¡¯m in the middle of an important meeting¡± Dn said impatiently.

    Jenna gasped and darted her eyes around the room looking for his business partners who he imed to be having a meeting with.

    She walked towards the empty chair and smiled at it. ¡°Hey there! I¡¯m his mum and I need him to answer all of my questions if you don¡¯t mind¡±

    Louisa and ra were dumbfounded by Jenna¡¯s behavior, However, Dn wasn¡¯t the least surprised, he must have grown up witnessing this type of crazy things his mum just pulled off.

    ¡°See there?! I spoke to your meeting buddies already now can we talk?¡±

    Dn sighed it¡¯s not like he had a choice, he turned towards Louisa ¡°What are you still waiting for? get back to work!¡± heshed out.

    ¡°Louisa stay back! what I¡¯m about to say also concerns her¡±

    Louisa shrugged, she would be d if his mum scolded him and if possible hit him really hard.

    ¡°Why is this nut head over there iming to be your fiancee? everyone knows who your future wife really is!¡± Jenna pointed towards ra.

    Louisa felt something shift in her stomach when she heard the word ¡®wife¡¯.

    Dn released a breath, he didn¡¯t want to exin this to anyone anymore.

    ¡°Mum she is not a nut head, ra is telling the truth¡­ I had to move on with my life at some point, you were there right? when Louisa med me for everything¡± Dn defended, his head was bound to burst before the end of today.

    Jenna narrowed her eyes at her son ¡°Oh wow! you moved on? to where exactly dummy? you left a very nicedy like Louisa and went for this bony frame?¡±

    ra opened her mouth in shock, she felt like squeezing Dn¡¯s neck, she frowned seeing the grin that was creeping up his face and even Louisa too! his mum was insulting her so bad.

    ¡°Mrs Wesley don¡¯t be so harsh on me¡­ I¡¯m on a strict diet, I don¡¯t wanna get fat and be a burden for Dn¡± ra defended.

    Jenna turned sharply to ra ¡°Well I think you should burden him because at this rate you will be easily blown away by the wind¡­ I want only Louisa for Dn!¡± She concluded.

    Louisa creased her brow wasn¡¯t he affected by how his mum spoke to his fiancee? why was heughing instead?

    ¡°Mrs Wesley you are being too mean! Dn won¡¯t you say something?¡± ra turned red, she knew nothing was wrong with her stature because she had almost the same frame as Louisa.

    Dn¡¯s mum was obviously trying to find fault in her by body shaming her.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    Jenna raised a brow ¡°He won¡¯t be able to say anything because I¡¯m not wrong¡­.. take my advice and be more like Louisa!¡±

    Dn banged his hand on his desk to keep his mum shut. ¡°You¡¯ve been calling Louisa¡¯s name for a while now did she tell you that she was willing to get Married to me? she ims that our engagement was a farce and you are¡­.¡±

    Jenna took a nce towards Louisa ¡°Louisa¡­.. ¡± She walked slowly to Louisa and held her two hands.

    ¡°Is this true Louisa? please don¡¯t say yes¡­.. you¡¯ve shattered my hopes, I thought that you and Dn would eventually be a couple if you gave yourself some time¡±

    Louisa didn¡¯t know how tofort the woman whose eyes had be teary.

    ¡°Mrs Wesley¡­ you are making me feel bad¡±

    For once in a long time Dn felt proud of what his mum was doing, he cheered her up inwardly, one thing Louisa couldn¡¯t resist was a mother tears.

    ¡°My son will remain single if you don¡¯t get married to him¡±

    ra cleared her throat ¡°I¡¯m still here¡± she mumbled to receive a cold stare.

    ¡°Not now skinny!¡± Jenna scolded.

 Chapter 127_ No way!! 3

    Abby stared at her reflection in the mirror for a while, she was putting on a red clinging gown that barely reached her thigh.

    She applied her read lipsticks and smacked her lips together. She was confident that no family would ept such a badly dressed daughter inw like her.

    She picked her ck purse from her bed and hurried out making soft clicks on the marbled floor with her ck heels.

    Martha stood up when she heard the clicks approaching, immediately Abby stepped into her view, she felt the air around her seize.

    ¡°Abby¡­. are you going all dressed up like that?!¡± Martha eximed.

    Abby rolled her eyes and started walking away, ¡°If you ruin my mood I will cancel this lunch date¡± Abby said sternly and left the room..

    ..

    Martha blew hair on her forehead, Abby hadn¡¯te in yet, she smiled sheepishly at the Johnson¡¯s. ¡°has she decided to run away?¡± she mumbled beneath her breathe.

    ¡°So miss Grayson¡­ where is your daughter?¡± Mr Johnson asked adjusting his sses.

    Martha shed a weird toothy smile, how was she supposed to answer that when she doesn¡¯t know where her daughter ran off to.

    ¡°She will be here any minute¡± Martha assured but deep down she was sure Abby ditched her.

    ¡°I¡¯m here¡±

    Martha and the Johnson¡¯s turned towards her direction.

    Martha sighed in relief, she sprang up to her feet and pulled Abby towards the dining table.

    ¡°I¡¯m gonna scold you so bad when we get back home!¡± Martha whispered to Abby in a lowered tone.

    ¡°So this is my lovely daughter Abby¡­. Abby meet the Johnson¡¯s¡±

    Abby smiled and waved at them.¡±Hello Mr and Mrs Johnson and ¡­.

    The girl around her age smiled at her ¡°Oh it¡¯s savanna¡±

    Abby smiled at the girl once more, something about her smile made her remember someone.

    ¡°Mr Johnson I don¡¯t see your son around¡± Martha reminded and almost immediately she heard a screeching sound outside.

    ¡°That¡¯s him¡± Mrs Johnson said with a sigh, she was sure that their son would like thisdy.

    Abby cleared her throat ¡°So Mr and Mrs Johnson I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t likedies wearing skimpy clothes ordies who throw their lives away because I¡¯m definitely thatdy¡± Abby said nonchntly.

    Martha¡¯s smile froze on her face, she pinched Abby¡¯s arm, this daughter of her¡¯s was trying to embarrass her in front of them.

    Savannaughed out ¡°Oh dear, that¡¯s exactly the kind of girl my brother likes¡±

    ¡°Yeah¡­ we don¡¯t have a problem with your dressing, infact we can¡¯t wait for you to be our new daughter inw¡± Mrs Johnson blurted out which her husband agreed to.

    Abby¡¯s face fell, what a weird family this was, why would anyone want her as their son¡¯s wife after seeing her mode of dressing?

    Marthaughed out finally this was working out, she knew how upset Abby must be feeling right now.

    A hurried footstep approached the dining table ¡°Young master he is¡­..¡± The butler swallowed his words after he was red at.

    ¡°Oh here he is¡­. meet our son¡± Mrs Johnson pointed out.

    Abby sulked, she was still upset about this whole fixed date or whatever it was.

    Mrs Johnson pulled him to sit next to her and opposite Abby. He nced briefly at thedy who was mumbling to herself. ¡°Hmm.. not bad¡­ but mum you know I don¡¯t want to get married now¡± he whispered to his mum.

    Martha cleared her throat to gain back Abby¡¯s attention.

    ¡°Dear this is thedy we¡¯ve picked for you¡± Mrs Johnson spoke up which gained Abby¡¯s attention.

    She raised her head and at the same time he stole a nce at her.

    ¡°You?!¡±

    They both rose up to their feet in shock, surprise and anger.

    James blinked his eyes to see if he was seeing things or if it was just an illusion.

    Everyone sitted also rose up to their feet, ¡°So you both already knew each other? then why are we still dying let¡¯s fix the date of the engagement!¡± Mr Johnson eximed in excitement, finally his good for nothing son would be responsible for once in his life.

    ¡°No way!!¡± They both eximed.

    ¡°What is going on?¡± Martha asked to no one in particr.

    Abby picked up her purse ¡°You could have done better mum¡­ I¡¯m not interested in this alliance¡± Abby bursted.

    James frowned ¡°What do you mean by that? I should be the one to say that!¡± he turned towards his mum.

    ¡°Mum I know that you and dad are trying to make me a responsible person.. but this is outrageous I can¡¯t put up with this maddy!¡±

    Abby gasped and climbed on the dining table to get to him. Martha¡¯s eyes widened in embarrassment, she caught hold of Abby¡¯s wrist and pulled her back down.

    ¡°Mum did you see that?¡± James pointed out hiding behind his mum.

    Few minutester, they gathered in the living room, everywhere was oddly quiet, after a little more silence Mr Johnson broke it.

    ¡°Can anyone of you tell me what happened between you two? how about this? let¡¯s hear from you first Abby ¡±

    Abby shrugged ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk about it¡±

    James arched a brow ¡°I will speak first dad, we met at her grandfather¡¯s birthday party where she spilled a drink on my suit, that suit costs millions! and she was too big to apologize¡±

    Abby stood up ¡°Is that all?¡± she red at him, if her anger surge in there will be lots of problem.

    ¡°Do you have any more to contribute?¡± James asked back.

    Abby rolled her eyes and returned back to her seat.

    Mr Johnson leaned forward to his wife, they whispered among themselves for sometime before they turned to the others.

    ¡°Miss Grayson¡­ our children had a conflict in the past, by we believe the past is the past so that¡¯s why we are going to sought out their differences by getting them engaged as soon as possible¡± Mrs Johnson announced with a smile.

    ¡°What?¡± James and Abby barked out, they sprang up to their feet.

    James narrowed his eyes at her ¡°Don¡¯t think I¡¯m dying to get married to you¡±

    ¡°Can¡¯t you see how ted I am about it?¡± Abby asked in sarcasm.

    Martha smiled and pulled Abby back down to sit, she was now relieved, her daughter will get married soon and that too to a nice and wealthy family.

    ¡°I can¡¯t wait to have you as my sister inw¡± savannah blurted out only to receive a cold re from her brother.

    Abby got up from her seat in anger and stomped out, James also excused himself and followed her out.

    James nced around for a while before he pulled her into a room.

    ¡°Let me¡­..¡±

    James ced his finger on her lips and pinned her to the wall.

    ¡°Is this your way of getting back at me for what I did?¡± James questioned.

    Abby pushed him away from her, and pushed her hair backwards.

    ¡°If I had known that this alliance was from you¡­ I would have dly stayed back at my house!¡± She retorted.

    James ran his hands through his hair, he wasn¡¯t ready for marriage or anything that evolves around it.

    ¡°What do you mean from me?¡±

    Abby smacked her purse against his chest ¡°Your parents were the ones who brought the proposal, I did everything I could to stop this madness, I even went as far as wearing this skimpy dress!¡±

    ¡°But who knew that they like girls who dress up like this?!¡± she continued.

    James paced around the room, there must be something wrong somewhere this can¡¯t happen to him.

    ¡°This was bound to happen james! nemesis has caught up with you! all you have to do now is to face it¡± Abby scorned, she couldn¡¯t deny that a part of her heart was happy about this.

    He turned towards her ¡°Don¡¯t you understand? I¡¯m not ready for any of this!¡±

    Abby grabbed his arm and squeezed it roughly ¡°You are not ready? when do you n on taking responsibility for what happened between us that night, huh? I didn¡¯t want to say anything out there but now that we are here I need you to answer that!¡±

    James scowled at her and pulled her hands off his hands.¡±I told you that night was a mistake! stop reminding me of that!¡±

    Abby pt him hard across his face, she grabbed his shirt. ¡°is that what you tell everydy you sleep around with?¡­ well I¡¯m different from them! do you get that?¡±

    She yelled at him and released her grip on his shirt, she opened the door to reveal her mum and the Johnson¡¯s they all had a shocked look on their faces.

    Abby really didn¡¯t care if they heard everything, she walked hurriedly out of their sights.

    ¡°Abby!¡± James called out but she was long gone, he kicked therge vase in anger and slumped on therge bed present in the room.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

 Chapter 128_ Even the dead fightsâ€¦.. 1

    Mr Williams stared at thedy in the locked cell, who was drawing small lines on the wall that she failed to notice his presence.

    He shook the iron bars which made a rattling noise, Jane snapped her head to him immediately.

    The mayor¡¯s face scrunched in disgust at her unkempt state. Jane got up from the cold floor and walked slowly towards him.

    She dragged her feet slowly which were bounded by heavy chains.

    ¡°You must be Jane, don¡¯t fret on how I knew you, I¡¯m the mayor and also Fred and Allison¡¯s father¡± Mr Williams introduced.

    Jane bursted out into aughter, she itched her head weirdly and snapped her head to him once more with a serious face.

    Jane¡¯s grip on the iron bars tightened as she made eye contact with him. ¡°Nobody remembers Jane when they are enjoying their lives! they only remember her when they need her to do crazy tasks¡±

    The mayor nodded his head in understanding ¡°Hmm¡­. you might be right on that one, my son spoke a lot about you, I¡¯m sure you know that old Grayson is being hospitalized, Nichs is currently behind bars and as for his mum she is now your new neighbor¡±

    Jane¡¯s face went pale, Liam got them all, so there was no way for her to get out of here.

    ¡°And what about Liam and Amelia? are they dead?¡±

    Mr Williams smirked ¡°They are very much still alive, I need your help¡±

    Jane scoffed out loudly, what else could they gain from her other than her help?

    ¡°I¡¯m sure you must know by now that I¡¯m Liam Grayson¡¯s captive and it¡¯s almost impossible to get me out of here¡±

    The mayor stroked his chin in deep thought ¡°I¡¯m the mayor dear¡­. leave that all to me, you will be out for some minutes to perform your role which is very important¡±

    Jane¡¯s eyes widened in excitement, she will be finally out.

    ¡°Just tell me what you need me for!¡± Jane asked impatiently.

    ¡°With time you will know¡± he mumbled and began walking away.

    ¡°At least tell me when!¡± she yelled out and punched the iron bars in anger..

    .

    Jenna touched Louisa¡¯s shoulder and smacked her lips. ¡°Louisa I honestly don¡¯t know what spell that witch has casted over my son to make him behave this way with you¡­. I hope you forgive him¡±

    Louisa nced briefly at Dn, she wasn¡¯t the leastfortable with this conversation in the presence of Dn.

    ¡°Mum¡­ what is this? I told you already that I¡¯m with ra now¡± Dn interrupted.

    ra walked hurriedly towards him and smacked him with her purse. ¡°oh you finally found your voice back? she called me all sought of mean names and you were having a good timeughing¡±

    ¡°See what I¡¯m talking about Louisa, I don¡¯t like her one bit¡± Jenna whispered.

    Louisa smiled in content, for once ra did something good, she hoped he lose a teeth.

    Dn sat up and touched his head ¡°Do you want to kill me?¡±

    ra raised a brow ¡°Why didn¡¯t you die? you sat there and watched me being humiliated and that too in front of your lover¡­.¡± ra blurted out while pointing at Louisa.

    She mped her mouth with her palm after she realized what she just did. She smiled awkwardly at Jenna.

    ¡°I meant louisa¡± she corrected herself.

    Jenna narrowed her eyes at Dn, she clearly heard what ra said and fell into a deep thought.

    ¡®What if Dn is only trying to make Louisa jealous? that could be a possibility too¡¯ she mused inwardly.

    Dn knew that his mum had figured out what was really going on between him and ra, even though she behaves dumb, she was really a smartdy.

    ¡°Mum I promise to exin everything to you when I get back home but for now please go¡± he pleaded with a wink.

    Jenna gasped softly, she was right Dn was hiding something from her and she just confirmed it.

    ¡°Well Mr Wesley we will talk betterter tonight!¡± ra said through gritted teeth and left the office in anger..

    .

    Martha caught up to Abby who was about to enter her car. ¡°Where do you think you are going?!¡± Martha barked.

    ¡°I¡¯m going home mum¡­. I don¡¯t want this alliance¡±

    Martha threw a p directly at Abby¡¯s face.¡±Don¡¯t lie to me Abby, we all clearly heard what you said in that room¡±

    The tears that she was holding back flowed out like endless streams, this was the first time her mum had raised her hand to her.

    ¡°You heard everything right? then don¡¯t question my decision¡­. you¡¯ve been obsessed with getting me married because you want to get rid of me but I know someone who can give me all his time¡±

    ¡°Are you talking about Liam? I¡¯ve told you never to bring him up whenever we are having a conversation!¡± Martha scolded.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    Abby hissed in anger ¡°You mean the man who did you a favor by sparing your life? I¡¯m the reason you are still standing here mum! everyone knows you were involved in aunt Brianna¡¯s fake death! you and grandfather buried her alive years ago¡±

    Martha swallowed hard, her daughter knew so much already. ¡°Abby mind how you speak to me and don¡¯t try to divert this matter¡±

    ¡°You knew who he was already, you even slept him with him¡­. so how can you tell me that you are not interested in this alliance?¡±

    Abby took in deep breaths, Liam was the only one who understands her better, sometimes her mum doesn¡¯t get her at all.

    ¡°I¡¯m not that desperate to get married¡­ infact I never was, you heard everything in there, he isn¡¯t willing to take responsibility for anything that happened that night, should I kill myself? he ims that it was a mistake so why are you trying to drive me nuts?!¡±

    Abby yelled out in anger and got into her car, she started it and drove out hurriedly.

    ¡°Be careful!¡± Martha screamed..

    ..

    Liam closed the door behind him and rested his back against it. He stared at Amelia who was sulking, she noticed his presence and shot him a look.

    ¡°Don¡¯t even try to appease me¡± She warned with pouted lips.

    Liam smiled and walked towards the bed, he sat down next to her. However, Amelia got up from the bed and went to the couch.

    ¡°Hey angrydy, I need to speak to you¡± Liam called out.

    ¡°Mr arrogant I¡¯m not ready to talk to you I¡¯m super angry right now¡± Amelia retorted.

    Liam shrugged his shoulder and pulled out a tiny box from his inner pocket. ¡°I guess I will give this to someone else maybe Abby¡± Liam mumbled fondling a red glittering box.

    Amelia ogled at it with the side of her eyes, she saw him stand up to leave and sprinted towards him.

    Liam turned around and arched a brow ¡°Is something wrong?¡±

    Amelia tried to have a glimpse of what he was holding. ¡°I don¡¯t find the couchfortable anymore, I prefer standing instead¡±

    Liam tried his very best to hold hisughter but he failed hard. ¡°You act weird when you get angry and I find you extremely cute¡±

    ¡°Can I see what you got for me?¡± her eyes shone in delight.

    Liam shook his head in denial ¡°I change my mind, I will give it to someone else¡±

    ¡°I will break your bones if that happens¡± she threatened with a cold re.

    Liam massaged the nape of his neck, sometimes her threats renders him powerless. ¡°I got this customized for you¡±

    Amelia ogled at the shiny object dangling on Liam¡¯s hands.

    ¡°Wow I love it!¡±

    Liam smiled and turned her around, he helped her put it around her neck and nted a kiss on her nape.

    Amelia walked towards the mirror to check it out, the ne had her name on it.

    The smile on Amelia¡¯s face froze for a while, Liam didn¡¯t do anything to upset her because he normally got gifts for her to appease her or something.

    ¡°Liam! what did you do?¡± Amelia questioned, Liam felt his heartbeat increase. He smiled awkwardly at her and shook his head.

    ¡°huh?¡­. I have no idea of what you mean by that¡± he questioned, was he that easy to read by her? he hoped that she didn¡¯t suspect a thing.

 Chapter 129_ Even the dead fightsâ€¦â€¦ 2

    Brianna stole a nce at Cecile and sighed, something has been bothering her for a while now.

    ¡°Cecile don¡¯t you think everything is too calm?¡±

    Cecile raised a brow and reduced the volume of tv they¡¯ve been watching.

    ¡°yeah it is¡­.. Liam has kept everyone in their rightful ce so this is what we call true happiness¡± Cecile briefly exined.

    Brianna nodded her head in understanding but she couldn¡¯t shake off the feelings we felt at that moment..

    ¡°I guess so¡­.

    No sooner had she said that when the show got interrupted by a breaking news. Cecile increased the volume to hear what was going on.

    Brianna and Cecile exchanged looks when the mayor came into the screen.

    ¡°Mr Williams can you brief us about the new project that you are about to start in the city?¡± a reporter asked holding the mic to his mouth.

    The mayor nodded in response ¡°We¡¯vee into a conclusion that the mental asylum near the highways will be demolished¡­. so we will be transferring all patients to a different asylum¡±

    Cecile¡¯s brows collided in confusion, that wasn¡¯t really a thing¡­. She shot Brianna a look and she was sure that Brianna was just as confused as she was.

    ¡°That was sudden¡­. he could have made this announcement like a few months ago¡± Brianna murmured which Cecile agreed to.

    Liam watched the news with interest, he just hoped that the mayor wasn¡¯t trying to get involved in this mess.

    He pulled out his phone and made a phone call ¡°I know what he is up to take Jane out of the asylum I know a better ce for her¡± Liam ordered and faced the two who were looking at him in surprise.

    ¡°Now I get it¡­. it all makes sense that he got back after his two children were trashed¡± Brianna murmured and snorted in disdain.

    Liam leaned forward and nted a kiss on his mum cheek.¡±You both should stay out of trouble¡­. honestly I feel like Amelia has been influencing you two with her weird behavior¡±

    Chloe bolted down the stairs, she was holding onto her teddy bear still in her PJs.

    ¡°Big bro¡­. save me!!!¡± She screamed and hid behind Liam.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    Liam raised a brow, it¡¯s not like he was going to save her, he might as well push her into the danger she was running away from.

    ¡°Amelia what has she done?¡± Cecile asked with an interrogative stare.

    ¡°Chloe is bing so naughty¡­. she almost had Louisa fired from her office today, she tampered with a file at Louisa¡¯s apartment¡± Amelia exined.

    ¡°I needed to be useful¡­ ¡± Chloe defended taking a peek at Amelia.

    Liam picked her up and ced her to stand on the couch.

    ¡°And how useful have you be now? don¡¯t you have school to attend to today?¡±

    Chloe folded her arm and threw her face away ¡°I don¡¯t feel like going¡­. my schoolpetitions is starting tomorrow and I have to prepare myself for it¡±

    Amelia rolled her eyes ¡°Chloe stop making excuses.. everything you need is ready what else did we possibly miss?¡±

    Chloe tapped her chin ¡°I have to get my hair done, my nails, and most importantly my dress¡­..

    They snapped their gaze to her before they bursted outughing.

    ¡°If you really want all that then I will do that,e on sweetie¡±

    Brianna leaned forward to Cecile and whispered ¡°I wonder when Liam and Amelia would give us the good news it¡¯s been a while¡±

    ¡°I think they are not ready yet¡­.. but we will have to take matter into our own hands¡± Cecile replied with a wink.

    ..

    ra opened her eyes with a groan as soon as she recalled how she was forcefully abducted she sat up and looked around the familiar room.

    She rose to her feet and stumbled forward, she supported herself and stood upright.

    She dashed towards the door and pulled the knob but it wasn¡¯t opening.

    ¡°Going so fast?¡±

    She jolted in shock and turned back to find the owner of the voice sitting on the couch with his legs propped on the table.

    Karl closed therge book he was reading and stood up, he walked towards her and stopped just in front of her.

    ra¡¯s eyes darted around for any weapon to threaten him with but she found none.

    ¡°What will you gain by bringing me here? have you forgotten that I¡¯m no longer your ything but someone¡¯s fiancee?!¡±

    Karl caught hold of her wrist and forcefully pulled off her ring and tossed it away. ¡°you can¡¯t belong to anyone else while I¡¯m still alive and not even a ring can stop me from iming you as mine¡±

    ra pulled her hand out of his grip ¡°And what if I don¡¯t want you?¡­..

    Karl ced his palm over her mouth and pushed her backwards till her back touched the wall.

    ¡°Please don¡¯t say that¡­ I Know I was wrong, I was such a fool for saying all those mean things to you, your absence made my life a living hell¡­

    ra closed her eyes to stop her tears from falling, how could she still be angry at him? then she remembered Dn, she still had to help him with Louisa.

    ¡°Karl I¡¯m sorry¡­. this can¡¯t work out anymore, I¡¯ve moved on with my¡­..

    Karl sealed her lips with his, he didn¡¯t want to hear the rest of her words. He couldn¡¯t bear her absence for a few weeks not to think of forever.

    ra¡¯s knees weakened, even though her mind was against this, her stubborn body still refused to listen to her. She reciprocated his fiery kisses with the same intensity and passion as him.

    Karl pulled away from her and cupped her face in his hands. ¡°How much more lies will you tell me? your body is saying otherwise¡± he whispered and nted a kiss on her neck, she tilted her neck to give him more ess.

    ¡°Karl¡­ I don¡¯t¡­

    ¡°I love you ra!¡± Karl dered and imed her lips once more, he lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist.

    ra¡¯sst shred of defense was broken, he finally those three magic words that she had always wanted to hear..

    ..

    Old Grayson opened his eyes and smiled at the person who just came into his ward.

    ¡°Long time friend!¡± me Williams eximed taking a seat next to old Grayson¡¯s bed.

    Old Grayson nodded in return, he has been having a hard time epting his new fate of being unable to walk.

    ¡°It¡¯s so unfortunate that your grandson is responsible for everything that is going on in your family¡± Mr Williams scorned.

    Old Grayson closed his eyes for a while and opened it again. ¡°And I heard that your daughter and son had gone into a shocking depression but don¡¯t worry with time they will get used to it¡± Old Grayson replied back.

    ¡°That was Liam¡¯s first mistake, he has invited trouble upon himself and as for his wife¡­. I¡¯ve heard a lot about her.. I must meet this legendarydy who has caused a lot of damages to my children¡±

    Old Grayson¡¯s lips pulled up, he still had a chance to win against Liam. and his friend here will aplish that task he never finished.

    ¡°Liam¡¯s biggest strength is that actress and his weakness is also that actress and his mum¡­. I won¡¯t rest until I destroy their ties¡±

    Mr Williams sneered at old Grayson ¡°Your condition isn¡¯t stable Mr Grayson how will you be able to aplish this task when you can¡¯t move from this spot?¡±

    ¡°Even the dead fights and I¡¯m not dead yet¡­. I might not be able to move, you will be my legs and I will be your head¡­. I have a brilliant n and it must be carried out with immediate effect!¡±

 Chapter 130_ Caught in the act

    Later that night¡­.

    Amelia came out of the shower and searched her table for her hair dryer. ¡°Liam¡±

    Liam raised his head from hisptop, he raised a brow at her. ¡°Hmm¡­ tell me¡±

    Amelia pointed at the vanity table ¡°I can¡¯t find my hair dryer¡±

    ¡°I have no idea¡­.. I thought you got a new one¡±

    Amelia¡¯s touched her head, she hadpletely forgotten about that. She reached for the brown colored box and walked towards the bed with it.

    Liam stole a nce at her, while she fondled with the box, he hid her hair dryer earlier, he also noticed that it was working fine so why would she lie about that?

    Amelia tore the seal open and brought out the new hair dryer out from the box.

    Liam¡¯s brows creased, he ced hisptop on the table and walked towards her. He turned the box upside down but nothing came out of it.

    Amelia moved back from his weird behavior ¡°What else were you expecting in the box?¡± Amelia questioned with a raised brow.

    ¡°I was searching for the bubble wrap¡± Liam blurted out and he pinched the bridge of his nose, he realized how weird it was for a grown up to be so interested in something like that.

    Amelia giggled and walked towards the mirror, Liam could be funny at times. ¡°You are no difference to Chloe¡±

    Liam examined the box, he was sure that this was the exact box which he saw most of Nichs things in.

    He didn¡¯t want to doubt her but the items in it few days ago were no longer there.

    Amelia noticed Liam¡¯s worried face from the mirror, she sat down on a stool blow drying her hair.

    ¡°Are you still sad because of the bubble wrap? howe I¡¯m just knowing about this now?¡±

    Liam forced a smile and returned back to continue his work. ¡°Stop making jest of me¡±

    .

    Louisa closed herptop and stood up, she sighed in relief. She was done with her work for today and now to go home.

    She nced at his door and checked the time, it was already past closing hours and no one was present in the office except she and Dn.

    Louisa packed her things and was about to head out, she reluctantly walked to his door and knocked.

    She pushed the door opened afterwards and went in but it was empty which was weird because she didn¡¯t see him leaving.

    ¡°Dn are you there?¡­..¡±

    The lights suddenly went off leaving her in pitch darkness.

    ¡°Hello..¡± she screamed out and received an echo in return.

    She turned on her phone shivering slightly, she hated being in the dark.

    Louisa heard a noise behind her, she jolted In fright and pointed her phone torch to the direction of the noise but found nothing.

    She hurriedly went out of the office and walked towards the exit.

    She took in deep breaths, her hands shakingly tapped on her phone..

    .

    Luciana smiled at Dn and handed him another ss of liquor. She had snuck him out of hispany today through his office exit after making him tipsy.

    ¡°I need¡­ to¡­ see Louisa now¡± Dn stuttered trying to get back on his feet.

    Luciana helped him back to his seat, she wanted him to get badly drunk until he stops speaking about that Ill fated girl.

    ¡°I told you already I¡¯m Louisa¡± Luciana argued and touched his face.

    Dn released aughter, he threw his head backwards and stared at the disco lights.

    ¡°No you¡¯re not!¡­. go away!¡± he grunted and stood up knocking down several bottles of beers and wines off the table.

    Luciana rushed to his side and supported his movement.

    She saw his phone lit up and when she saw who the caller was her face darkened.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure she must be dying of fear by now¡­ serves her right!¡± she murmured and helped Dn out of the bar.

    Olivia caught a glimpse of Luciana and her brother going out of the bar. ¡°that is weird¡± she mumbled.

    Olivia stood up from her boyfriend¡¯sps and nted a quick kiss on his lips. ¡°I will be on my way now take care¡±

    She bade him goodbye and hurriedly followed their direction.

    She watched them enter a cab, Olivia dashed into her car and tailed behind them.

    She was surprised when she saw the cab pull over in front of a hotel. ¡°what is going on?¡± she asked herself.

    Luciana led Dn to a room which she booked earlier. she helped him to the bed and crotched down to take off his shoes.

    ¡°Louisa¡­

    Luciana pulled off her jacket and sat on him in a straddling position.

    She brushed his hair with her fingers and lowered her face to his. ¡°The only name you are to utter tonight is Luciana¡± she whispered.

    The door opened with a loud bang, Luciana snapped her gaze to it and was rmed.

    Olivia¡¯s lips parted in surprise, she walked towards the bed and pulled Luciana away from her brother before throwing a p to Luciana¡¯s face.

    ¡°How dare you?!¡± Olivia barked out loud, Luciana held her face in anger.

    Dn groaned and sat up right, his vision was blurry but he could still point out that he was not alone in the room.

    ¡°That was a wrong timing Olivia¡­. I was in the middle of something before you barged in, please help yourself out and close the door too¡± Luciana shamelessly mumbled to receive another p from Olivia.

    ¡°You got him drunk and then you brought him to an hotel so that you can have your way with him?¡±

    Luciana grabbed Olivia¡¯s hand ¡°So? I¡¯ve always loved Dn but you couldn¡¯t see that because you were obsessed with Louisa bing a part of your family¡­.¡±

    ¡°So is this what you call love? if I hadn¡¯t followed you here¡­. my brother¡¯s life would have been ruined¡­. and I considered you my best friend!¡±

    Lucianaughed out scornfully ¡°best friend? a best friend who knew about my feelings for her brother but chose to ept anotherdy as her sister inw, our friendship died the day you and your family staged that act to get Louisa into your family!¡±

    Olivia pointed at the door in anger ¡°Get out! or I¡¯ll get the cops involved and trust me you don¡¯t want that to happen because I will make sure you rot away in jail¡­ ¡±

    Luciana gritted her teeth in anger, her epic n had gone down the drain, she stomped out of the room closing the door behind her harshly.

    Olivia turned back to her brother ¡°And you Mr. you couldn¡¯t even repel from her touch¡± she scolded Dn who was in his half state of mind..

    .

    Dn opened his eyes after a jug of water was sshed in his face. Olivia ced the jug harshly on the table and red at him.

    ¡°Olivia what was that ¡­.. ouch!¡± she grunted and held the back of his head.

    ¡°Oh! you are finally awake!¡±

    Dn hissed in anger and came down from the bed, he noticed this wasn¡¯t his room or any of the rooms in his house.

    ¡°Where are we?¡±

    ¡°An hotel and oh.. before you ask how you got here let me exin it in details¡­ you foolishly allowed Luciana to get you drunk and she tried to take advantage of you in your drunken state!¡±

    Dn narrowed his eyes at her, he didn¡¯t find Luciana that way¡­

    ¡°Yay¡­ great you saved me¡± Dn sarcastically stated.

    ¡°You owe me one if not your rtionship with Louisa would have gone sour¡± Olivia blurted out.

    Dn raised his head to her ¡°I¡¯m not with Louisa anymore but with ra¡±

    Olivia rolled her eyes ¡°you told mum a secret and you expected her to keep shut about it? oh dear! Louisa is the only one who doesn¡¯t know about your fake engagement to ra¡±

    Dn snorted, his mum had a problem when it came to keeping secrets.

    Dn picked up his phone and checked the time it was already past nine¡­

    ¡°I have a meeting by 9:30 am today¡± Dn suddenly remembered.

    ¡°Freshen up I¡¯ll settle the bills¡± Olivia replied back which caught him by surprise.

    ¡°With your card¡± she added waving his card in front of him.

    Dn¡¯s eyes widened before he could grab her she bolted out of the door.

 Chapter 131_ The joker 1

    Dn arrived at thepany when he got into the building he was surprised by the little crowd of his employees who were lingering around the elevator.

    ¡°What is going on?¡±

    Immediately they heard his voice they parted ways for him with their heads bowed.

    Dn felt the air around him seized when he saw Louisa unconscious, he also noticed this was the same outfit she was putting on yesterday.

    Before anyone could blink their eye lids, he rushed to her side and tapped her cheeks gently. ¡°Lou¡­. open your eyes¡­ what are you morons waiting for? call the ambnce!!¡± heshed out angrily at them..

    .

    Olivia and her parents arrived at the hospital where Louisa was admitted into. They spotted Dn pacing around mumbling words to himself.

    ¡°Dn¡± Jenna called out pointing at Louisa¡¯s ward ¡°What happened to Louisa?¡±

    Dn hissed in anger, how was he supposed to answer that question? the doctor has even refused to speak to him concerning her current condition.

    ¡°I have no idea mum¡­..¡±

    Olivia¡¯s jaw clenched in anger, she knew who was responsible for Louisa¡¯s condition. ¡°Mum¡­. dad I will be back!¡±

    ¡°Olivia where are you off to?¡± Jerry called out which she ignored.

    Liam¡¯s car stopped in front of the hospital, he and Amelia hurriedly got out.

    He threw the car keys at his guard ¡°Park the car well¡± he ordered.

    Olivia crashed into Amelia on her way out, she quickly apologized only to be pulled back by Amelia.

    ¡°It¡¯s you¡­ I¡¯m so sorry I was in such a hurry¡± Olivia apologized.

    ¡°How is Louisa? is she alright?¡±

    Olivia nodded in response, she needed to get to Luciana before she flees the city.

    ¡°Yeah the doctor is checking up on her¡­. but I have to leave now bye!¡±

    Amelia¡¯s mood was lifted up a bit, at least her friend was alright. Liam ced his hands on her back pushing her forward.

    ¡°I told you that she will be alright¡± Liam mumbled..

    .

    Jane kicked the te of food that was sent to her away in anger. How clever of Liam to pull her out of the asylum before the mayor got to her.

    Now he brought her to his own home which was way worse than the asylum itself.

    She nced briefly at Angie who was still under the drugs effect, they were injected before they were brought here.

    Jane picked the cup of water meant for her and threw it at her face. ¡°you sly b*tch! are you still sleeping?¡±

    Angie¡¯s eyelids fluttered open, she took notice of the change in her surroundings.

    She shot Jane a look after she realized what Jane did. ¡°Have you lost it?!¡± Angie barked.

    Jane rolled her eyes and snarled at her ¡°Don¡¯t show me that attitude! you and your son are the reason that I¡¯m here today¡­. and old Grayson? after all the promises he made he still couldn¡¯t fulfill any of the task¡±

    Angie wiped her face with the hem of her dress ¡°You were blinded by jealousy which led you to your downfall so don¡¯t you dare me my prince and I for your misfortune!¡±

    Jane bursted outughing, she crotched downughing endlessly at Angie.

    ¡°Your prince? and you must be the queen mother¡­.. both the prince and the queen are currently behind iron bars!¡± Jane scorned.

    ¡°Says thedy who dreamt of ruining the life of her best friend¡­. but the rule of karma yed you so bad that you don¡¯t hold any future anymore¡± Angie retorted.

    Jane rushed towards Angie and pulled her hair hard. ¡°I dare you to say that again!¡±

    The guards who has been watching the two arguing for a while shot a sleeping dart on their necks.

    They both wobbled until they hit the ground hard.

    The doctor came out of the ward and stood in front of them.

    ¡°How is she doctor?¡± Dn and Amelia asked as soon as he came out.

    ¡°The patient is conscious¡­ but she is scared right now maybe it had something to do with what happened to herst night¡±

    Dn walked away from them, he took out his phone and raised it to his ear. ¡°Have you found out anything?¡­. good bring it over to the hospital as soon as possible!¡±

    Jenna peeped into the ward and turned to the doctor. ¡°Can we see her now?¡±

    ¡°Mrs Wesley I¡¯m afraid no¡­. only one person can see her at the stage¡±

    Amelia stole a nce at Dn who had a worried expression on his face.¡±Dn you can go in¡±

    Dn raised his head in surprise, him? he had expected Amelia to go in since she was Louisa¡¯s friend.

    ¡°Come this way Mr Wesley¡± the doctor said and led him into the ward.

    When they entered, Dn¡¯s brow¡¯s drew together in confusion, she was avoiding the nurse¡¯s touch mumbling some words.

    He was too surprised to move, immediately she saw him she came down from the bed and hid behind him.

    ¡°Dn¡­. she is trying to kill me¡±

    The doctor released a sigh and pulled off his sses. ¡°we¡¯ve been facing this since she woke up¡±

    Dn nodded and brought her to stand in front of him.. ¡°Louisa she is a nurse¡­.¡±

    ¡°No she is the joker, she tried to stab me with that needle¡­¡± Louisa argued.

    Dn¡¯s phone vibrated in his pocket, he pulled it out and walked a few steps away, only to be clinged onto by Louisa.

    ¡°A joker?¡± he murmured and turned back to Louisa, he could see the fear that crossed her face after he mentioned it.

    ¡°The¡­ j.. oker¡­¡± Louisa stuttered and snatched his phone, she threw it down and smashed it with her foot.

    The doctor called in several nurses who held Louisa back down. He rolled up her sleeves and injected a substance into her body.

    ¡°What was that for?¡± Dn inquired seizing the doctor¡¯s coat.

    ¡°Does she look insane to you?!¡±

    The doctor raised his hands a little higher above his head. ¡°Mr Wesley¡­ this is the only way to keep her under check for now¡±

    ..

    Dn and the rest focused on theptop¡¯s screen with great interest.

    Liam pointed to something on the screen ¡°She wasn¡¯t alone in the office, someone else was there¡±

    ¡°You mean a joker?¡± Amelia asked which piqued Dn¡¯s interest.

    ¡°How do you know about that?¡± he asked.

    Amelia shifted theptop to herself and rewinded it back a little before zooming in.

    ¡°There¡­¡±

    Dn massaged his head, this whole thing wasn¡¯t clear to him yet. ¡°What the hell is a joker doing in mypany? it¡¯s not a circus!¡± Dn murmured irritably.

    ¡°That joker did something to Louisa¡± Liam pointed out.

    Olivia barged into Luciana¡¯s home, she had a feeling that Luciana had a hand in whatever must have happened to Louisa.

    ¡°Luciana!!e out!!¡± Olivia barked out..

    ¡°Honey I¡¯m over here..¡± a voice called out to her.

    Olivia jolted slightly and turned towards the direction of the voice.

    Olivia¡¯s heart skipped a beat seeing an ugly, irky joker in front of her.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    ¡°What the hell?!¡±

    The joker came down from the stairs acting all stupid and dumb like how they behave in the circus.

    ¡°I know it¡¯s you Luciana!¡­¡±

    The joker let out an eeryughter dancing to no music, Olivia walked up to the joker and pulled off it¡¯s mask.

    Luciana¡¯s menacing gaze came in view before she could react a pnded on her right cheek.

    ¡°What did you do to Louisa?¡±

    Lucianaughed out loud and sat down on a sofa. ¡°How can I do anything to her?¡±

    ¡°Keep the pretense to yourself and what¡¯s up with this costume?¡± Olivia asked icily.

    Luciana spranged up to her feet and caught Olivia¡¯s neck. ¡°Why don¡¯t I show you what I really did to Louisa? since you were too eager to find out!¡±

 Chapter 132_ The joker 2

    ra opened herzy eyes, she felt the heavy arm around her waist and gasped softly. That wasn¡¯t a dream¡­. it was real.

    She felt Karl¡¯s hands move slightly under the sheets, his hand found its way to her mounds. He squeezed it softly which earned a moan from her.

    ¡°You are awake?¡±

    She heard his teasing voice asked and pretended to be asleep.

    ¡°I know that you are awake¡±

    ra smiled and turned to him, she ced her head on his bare chest listening carefully to his heart beat.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t want to wake up if this turned out to be a dream¡± ra murmured.

    Karl inhaled the scent of her hair that drives him nuts. ¡°ra let¡¯s get married¡±

    ra¡¯s heart leaped, she raised her head from his chest and stared into his eyes, all she saw was sincerity, her eyes teared up.

    ¡°No.. no¡­ I didn¡¯t say that for you to cry¡±

    ra threw herself into his arms, everything she had ever dreamt of was happening right now.

    A knock came on the door followed by a hurried voice. ¡°Boss Mr Hart is here to see you¡±

    Karl hissed in anger, that man has managed to ruin his mood so early¡­ he wondered what he was here for.

    ¡°ra I will be back¡± He whispered into her ears and nted a kiss on her forehead..

    .

    Karl came down to meet his father in the living room, he had a frown on his face which clearly showed how annoyed he was..

    ¡°Isn¡¯t too early?¡± Karl asked impatiently sitting on the sofa.

    Anthony helped himself to a sofa since Karl wasn¡¯t offering any.

    ¡°How many more times will I prove myself to you before you ept me as your father?¡±

    Karl massaged his head, it was still too early for him to be lectured.

    ¡°Why do you need me back so desperately? you are giving me more reasons to say no to you¡±

    Anthony sat up and met Karl¡¯s eyes ¡°I need an heir, I don¡¯t want my properties andpanies to go to the government when I die¡­ I need you to take over mypany as the new CEO¡±

    ¡°Amelia is still alive and I don¡¯t want to get involved in your family mess¡± Karl answered back.

    ¡°But you are already involved whether you ept it or not!¡± ra said walking towards them.

    Karl got up and pulled her a few steps away from Anthony.

    ¡°Don¡¯t say anything you don¡¯t understand what is going on¡± Karl hushed in a low tone.

    ra rolled her eyes at him and walked away from him. ¡°father ignore what he said¡­. that¡¯s how he has always been, he doesn¡¯t know the worth of people around him until they are gone¡±

    ra shot Karl a mean look before she turned to Anthony once more.

    ¡°Karl is ready to ept you back it¡¯s only his pride that is stopping him from epting you¡±

    Anthony¡¯s gaze rested on Karl but thetter turned away. ¡°Karl¡± Anthony called out.

    Karl raised a brow in response to his father, before he could say anything else, Anthony engulfed him in a warm and hearty embrace.

    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry Karl¡­ please forgive me¡± Anthony apologized.

    The walls surrounding Karl¡¯s heart copsed, this was the feeling to be embraced by a father.

    ra touched her chest and wiped her tears that were falling. ¡°This is so beautiful¡± she mumbled..

    .

    Olivia gasped for breathe as Luciana held unto her neck firmly.

    ¡°What were you saying back then?¡± Luciana scorned.

    Olivia fondled with her purse, she pulled out a pen and stabbed it on Luciana¡¯s hand.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    She inhaled deep breaths and fell to the floor, Luciana held her arm in pain with a groan.

    ¡°You are a wolf in sheep¡¯s clothing¡± Olivia spat out and helped herself off the ground.

    People who tend to hurt you are the ones closest to you and that was what was happening here.

    ¡°You should have known that earlier! instead of wasting your time on me¡­ I think you should be searching for the antidote for your sister inw¡± Luciana spitefully spoke.

    Olivia smirked and pulled off her wrist watch, she smashed it to the ground which Luciana found weird.

    ¡°Three minutes¡­. that¡¯s all it took for me to find out everything about you today¡­ you yourself have confessed to what you did to Louisa¡­. ¡±

    ¡°Last night I wanted to let things slide¡­. but you crossed the line, you are the cops problem now I¡¯ve sent them the signal¡±

    Luciana¡¯s eyes widened and before she could move an inch some police men held her down, she was cuffed and pushed out like a criminal..

    .

    A man walked hurriedly towards the people waiting for Louisa. ¡°Mr Wesley we¡¯ve invited a hypnotist, we figured out that she was hypnotized by the joker¡±

    ¡°But who is this bloody joker?!¡± Dn barked angrily, the joker appearing at hispany wasn¡¯t making any sense at all.

    ¡°Luciana¡±

    They snapped their gaze to the owner of the voice.

    ¡°What?¡±

    Olivia moved closer to Dn ¡°Dn Luciana is the joker, she did something to Louisa and look at this I found this in her room¡±

    Dn collected the small white bottle which contained a green liquid.

    ¡°What is this stuff?¡± Dn inquired and passed the liquid to Liam.

    Liam narrowed his gaze at the bottle, he recognized it¡­. infact he has seen it somewhere.

    ¡°This looks familiar¡­ I¡¯ve seen it somewhere¡±

    Amelia snatched the bottle and opened it, she brought it to her face only to be stopped by Liam.

    ¡°Hey crazy¡­ do you want to die? this is dangerous¡± Liam scolded.

    Amelia rolled her eyes and sniffed the bottle ¡°It smells like¡­. like how do I put it¡­.¡±

    She dropped to the ground surprising everyone, Liam was rmed, he picked her up and dashed into the ward.

    Jenna bit her nails, she turned to Jerry and smacked his arm. ¡°How can you be sofortable while this drama is going on here, we don¡¯t know what happened to louisa and now she also passed out¡±

    Jerry shrugged, he was too shocked to say anything, this was like a scene from a movie.

    Olivia picked the bottle of the liquid which had spilled on the ground after Amelia passed out.

    ¡°Put that back down¡­ I¡¯m not ready to carry you once you faint¡± Dn blurted out.

    Olivia sniffed the bottle hurriedly and pulled it away. ¡°Luciana had the same weird scent on the joker¡¯s costume¡±

    ¡°What if Louisa had actually inhaled this stuff from the joker¡¯s costume?¡± Jerry assumed.

    ¡°But that doesn¡¯t exin why she is scared of the joker¡± Dn added.

    Jenna closed her eyes for a second and opened it. ¡°I get it now¡­. Dn you remembered when you told us that Louisa got a little crazy when you called out the joker?¡±

    ¡°Yeah¡­. I do¡±

    Jenna clicked her tongue ¡°This weird looking man was right when he spoke about the hypnosis¡­. Louisa was hypnotized to act crazy whenever she hears the word joker¡±

    ..

    Amelia sat up and pulled the drip out of her hand shocking Liam and the nurses. ¡°Tell me who inserted this needle into my hand¡±

    Liam breathed out in relief, for a moment there he was scared that something terrible must have happened to her, but seeing her disying her craziness has relieved him a lot.

    ¡°Amelia you passed out and they were only trying to sustain your energy¡± Liam exined.

    ¡°Well I didn¡¯t ask them to¡±

    Liam sighed and helped her out, she was too fine to be where the sick are supposed to be.

    ¡°Come on now drama queen¡± Liam jested nudging her out of the room.

    Louisa opened her eyes after a while of being unconscious. She nced briefly at her surroundings and was a bit surprised.

    ¡°Oh great! you are awake how are you feeling now?¡± The doctor asked.

    Louisa creased her brow, what was she doing in a hospital. ¡°why?¡­

    The doctor shrugged ¡°Even I cannot exin what happened to you¡±

    The door to the ward was pushed open and Dn walked in. He observed that her behavior was normal.

 Chapter 133_ Charade

    Dn stared down as he walked towards her bed, he pulled out a stool and sat next to the bed.

    ¡°Lou¡­ I want to ask you a few questions¡±

    Louisa tilted her head to the side to take a proper look at his face.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to show me your fake sympathy Dn¡­ don¡¯t worry you will have an assistant by your side at the meeting today¡±

    Dn released a breath, he didn¡¯t realize all these while that he was driving Louisa away from him by acting cold towards her.

    ¡°Do you really see me as that kind of person?¡±

    Louisa shot him a look ¡°Yes I do¡­. honestly I hold you responsible for my condition, how can you be so heartless to leave me all alone at thepany and no!¡­. don¡¯t say that it was a mistake¡±

    Dn held her wrist and brought it to his face ¡°If you think that I¡¯m responsible¡­. then I give you every permission and rights to hit me as hard as you can¡±

    Louisa pulled her hand away from his, even if she wanted to hit him, her bat was at home if not she would have murdered him right here.

    ¡°Can you remember anything the joker did to you?¡±

    Louisa shook her head andid back down on the bed, she has had enough of this discussion.

    ¡°Please leave¡±

    The nurse present in the room smirked at the two ¡®No matter how hard any of you think about it no one will be able to find out what really happened or what is about to happen¡¯ she thought inwardly and left the ward. Immediately she came out of the ward, she answered her phone call.

    ¡°Yeah I did as you instructed! when will I get my payment?¡±

    ..

    Amelia sighed and rolled her eyes as her mum examined her, actually she held Liam responsible for this, if he hadn¡¯t snitched about it her mum won¡¯t have been so worried.

    ¡°Mum how many times will I tell you that there¡¯s nothing wrong with me?¡± Amelia whined.

    ¡°Liam how could you let this happen?¡± Brianna asked.

    Liam raised a brow ¡°Me? I warned her not to.. but as always she wanted to be a heroine like in her movies¡± Liam mumbled with a bit of sarcasm in his tone.

    ¡°And you could have been the hero to stop me but what were you doing?¡± Amelia fired back.

    ¡°Are you trying to me me? mum did you see that?¡±

    Brianna and Cecile exchanged looks and shrugged.

    ¡°Big sis!!¡±

    Amelia diverted her attention to the little girl who called out her name.

    Chloe withdrew her hand from the maids grip and bolted to Amelia, she was putting on a pink sportswear and a white sneaker.

    ¡°My sweetie is very pretty¡±

    Chloe giggled and presented two hair bands in front of Amelia.

    ¡°Can you help me decide if I should go with the pink or the white¡± Chloe asked.

    Amelia tapped her chin staring at the two hair bands carefully. ¡°You know I heard that cute girls look more cuter when they wear pink¡±

    Chloe nodded and shot the maid a look ¡°See? I told you¡± she jested and stuck out her tongue.

    The maid smiled in embarrassment, Liam snorted in denial.

    ¡°I think the white is better¡±

    Chloe gasped, he was interested in matters concerning her.

    Amelia raised a brow at him, was he trying to challenge her?

    ¡°No¡­ pink suites her better¡± Amelia argued.

    ¡°No it doesn¡¯t¡­ it only makes her look like a witch¡±

    Cecile leaned forward to Brianna ¡°Why do they argue about everything?¡±

    Brianna sighed and touched her head, if they keep on going on and on like this she would go deaf.

    Chloe stared back and forth between the two as they argued about the color that suites her more.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    ¡°Can¡¯t you both just decide on a color? all my friends must be in school by now¡±

    Amelia sighed and crotched down to Chloe¡¯s height. ¡°Honey why don¡¯t you decide which color you want but remember the color pink is for cute looking girls like you but the yucky colour white is for weird girls¡±

    Chloe fell into a deep thought, she walked towards the maid and handed her the two bands.¡±I will wear both instead¡±

    ¡°Look how matured she is¡­ unlike some people¡± Cecile scorned..

    .

    ra entered Louisa¡¯s ward, her gazended briefly on Louisa¡¯s sleeping face.

    She walked next to the bed and helped herself to sit there.

    ¡°Louisa¡­ I know that you are awake¡± ra spoke softly, pushing behind the loose strands of hair resting on Louisa¡¯s face.

    Louisa opened her eyes and when she saw who was in the ward, she cursed beneath her breathe..

    She had expected Amelia or just anyone else apart from ra and Dn. How was she supposed to recover if she kept on seeing them instead??

    Louisa sat up and shook off ra¡¯s hand that was caressing her hair.

    ¡°Are you here to criticize me? if yes, then you can go ahead¡± Louisa said in irritation.

    ra smiled and ced her purse on herps, she pulled her fingers for a while mustering the courage to speak up again.

    ¡°I know you don¡¯t hate me¡­. ¡±

    Louisa peered at thedy sitting next to her, infact hate was an understatement.

    ¡°Are you kidding me??¡± Louisa murmured.

    ¡°I know where I¡¯m driving at Louisa¡­ the only reason you are showing me this attitude is because of dn, I know you must have felt bad when he broke off his engagement to you¡­..

    Louisa raised a brow, was thisdy trying to rub salt on her wounds? it¡¯s already clear that she and Dn will be married soon, so why reminding her of that?

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to remind me of all these ra, I know where exactly this is going but please spare me the horror¡± Louisa pleaded, she was already getting annoyed by her presence.

    ra shot Louisa a look to keep her mouth shut ¡°at least listen to what I have to say Louisa! Dn and I are not really engaged¡±

    Louisa¡¯s lips parted in shock and surprise before it got reced with a mockingughter.

    ¡°Is that really the case? or did he dump you like he did to otherdies?¡± Louisa scorned with a smile.

    ¡°Dn didn¡¯t dump me infact we were never a thing, we only put up this charade to get back the ones we love¡­.. I got back together with Karl but Dn didn¡¯t get his own lover¡±

    ¡°And why are you telling me all these? I¡¯m definitely not interested¡±

    ra picked up her purse and stood up, Louisa might see her as a calmdy which she definitely isn¡¯t.

    ¡°Okay! I tried being nice with my approach, but you don¡¯t seem to get what is really going on here! Dn isn¡¯t the one responsible for your problems, infact he is doing everything he can to please you and you are busy weighing him down with your attitude!¡±

    Louisa¡¯s lips parted, she released a soft gasp escaped her lips, she stared at ra in shock, was it her imagination or did ra just look super angry at her?

    ra sighed and sat back down, she touched Louisa¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Dn is madly in love with you and I¡¯m still in shock on how you can¡¯t see that, he left the city just so that he could kill his feelings for you¡­¡±

    ¡°I watched him living his life like it had no meaning anymore, you see him as a yboy and a spoilt brat but he has changed and that¡¯s because he knows how much you hate that lifestyle¡­. Louisa he changed his ways just for you¡±

    ra stood up once more and leaned forward to her ¡°The least you could do is to acknowledge him and try to see him with a different view¡­¡± She whispered and left the ward.

 Chapter 134_ Separation 1

    Abby nced briefly at the person who just stepped into her room.

    Martha held her nose as she stared at the ground littered with bottles of wines, beers and cigarettes.

    ¡°Abby!! what is the meaning of this? are you trying to kill yourself?¡±

    Abby drew the duvet over her face, she didn¡¯t want to speak with her mum or anyone else, she made a mistake by leaving the door openedst night.

    ¡°It¡¯s still so early mum¡­ let me be!¡±

    Angered by the reply she got, Martha matched straight to the bed and pulled the duvet off Abby¡¯s body.

    ¡°You have guests waiting downstairs for you, go and freshen up this minute!¡±

    Abby raised her head a little from her pillow ¡°I hope you are not still arranging blind dates for me?¡±

    Martha pointed to the bathroom¡¯s door ¡°To the shower Abigail!¡±

    Abby cursed out loud, whenever Martha called out her full name she was damn serious.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be down soon!¡± Abby mumbled irritably.

    Martha stormed out of the room and mmed the door shut behind her. Abby stared at the closed door for some moments before she screamed into her pillow.

    She flung the pillow across the room after she was done screaming into it, she grabbed her hair tugging it hard. ¡°Why are you so unlucky Abby? Liam and amelia¡¯s love story started with a night stand but yours is super different¡±

    Abby reluctantly got out of bed and went into the shower room..

    .

    Minutester she came down putting on a casual outfit.

    Martha sighed in relief when she saw Abby approaching.

    Abby¡¯s steps froze as she saw who the guests were. She turned around to leave when her name was called out.

    ¡°Abby¡± James called out to her and stood up from his seat.

    Mrs Johnson nudged him forward, which heplied to.

    ¡°Abby he has something to say at least give him a chance¡± savanna voiced out.

    James took her hands and led her out of their parents sight.

    Immediately they were out of sight Abby shrugged his hands off. ¡°What the heck are you all doing here?¡± Abby asked impatiently.

    ¡°I was wrong for saying all that to you¡±

    Abby raised a brow ¡°Is that all?¡±

    Actually she had expected more of the apology, was she wasting her time watching romantic movies?

    James swallowed hard ¡°Abby please don¡¯t make this hard for me¡­. just ept my apology or else my parents will skin me alive¡±

    Abby smiled, she loved the sound of that, she folded her arm and shook her head.¡±Oh really? then I don¡¯t ept your apology¡± she said at the top of her voice.

    James ced a palm over her mouth ¡°I¡¯m ready to take responsibility for whatever happened that night¡±

    Abby pushed his hands off her lips ¡°Were you forced to say that also?¡±

    ¡°No¡­ my family and i came here to finalize the date of our engagement¡±

    Abby¡¯s eyes widened, she could feel her heart racing in excitement.

    ¡°And you agreed?¡± She asked in bewilderment to receive a nod.

    ¡°I guess it¡¯s time for me to be responsible just like Liam and Dn¡± James reply came out brief and quick.

    He took her hands in his and sighed ¡°Please say yes to the engagement, even though we see ourselves as friends or enemies with time we will develop our own special bond¡±

    Abby pinched herself to know if this was all a dream, how she wished to blurt out her feelings for him.

    ¡°I give you my word on that¡± Abby spoke softly and embraced him.

    ¡°You have no idea how depressed I was all these while¡± she mumbled..

    .

    Stephanie fanned herself with a bundle of crispy new notes. ¡°This is the life I¡¯ve dreamed of¡± she moaned out waving it in front of Luciana.

    Luciana stared at her through the iron bars of the cell. ¡°Hey! that money is ours don¡¯t you dare try to spend my share!¡±

    Stephanie turned to her with a corky smile ¡°Well now I have to spend your share since it¡¯s no longer useful to you¡­. what I meant to say is that you won¡¯t be leaving here anytime soon.. I didn¡¯t ask you to attack his fiancee¡­ it was just a simple task and you failed miserably at it!¡±

    Luciana banged her hand on the iron bars with bloodshot eyes. ¡°I swear if I get out of here I will being for your head next!¡±

    Stephanie looked around before returning her gaze back to Luciana. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t gone to the hospital to give Louisa the antidote you would have been dead by now¡­ the mayor and that oldie wouldn¡¯t have spared you either!¡±

    Luciana gritted her teeth in anger, so this b*tchy sister of hers wanted the whole money to herself?

    ¡°Use my share of the money to get me out of here or better still inform the mayor about my predicament¡±

    Stephanieughed out loudly, ¡°Dear sis¡­ enjoy your stay here and please don¡¯t me me¡­. it¡¯s the greed in me speaking¡­ I still have one more task to do before I help you out, I don¡¯t want you ruining all my hardwork like you didst night!¡±

    Stephanie waved her hands and bade her sister goodbye before leaving the police station.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    ¡°Damn that b*tch!¡± Luciana cursed out loudly..

    .

    The doctor nced at his wrist watch, it was alreadyte and Dn was still in the hospital.

    ¡°Mr Wesley¡± he called out.

    Dn raised his head to meet the doctor¡¯s worried face. ¡°It¡¯ste now I think you should go home ande back tomorrow morning since she doesn¡¯t want to see you¡±

    Dn sighed and shook his head slowly at the doctor¡¯s words.

    ¡°I don¡¯t mind passing the night here¡­ it¡¯s up to me to keep her safe this time¡± he replied.

    ¡°If you say so¡­¡± the doctor mumbled and left for his office.

    Louisa closed her eyes when she heard the door open. She felt a lot guilty after over hearing Dn¡¯s conversation with the doctor.

    Dn walked towards the couch present in the ward. He pulled off his coat and helped himself to sit on the couch.

    His gazended on her softly, he knew she was wide awake and was only trying to avoid him.

    ¡°You don¡¯t need to be scared or ufortable Lou I¡¯m here with you¡±

    Louisa cursed herself for being so bad at pretending.

    ¡°You could have gone home and had a proper night sleep on your huge mattress there¡¯s no point for you to stay here¡±

    Dn ignored her words and closed his eyes, he had been so stressed out since today.

    Louisa paused her lips and closed her eyes also, she had said so many mean things to him and yet he spared her every single time..

    .

    Mrs Williams snatched the photo Allison had been drawing all day. ¡°This is Liam Grayson¡¯s photo how did you get your hands on them?¡±

    Allison sat up and snatched it back from her mum. ¡°You don¡¯t have to know about it! daddy knows because he is the one nning it¡­ so would you take your questions elsewhere?¡±

    Allison continued her drawings which made her mum worried. Mrs Williams was really worried for her daughter and her husband was making matters worse.

    ¡°Dad!¡± Allison called out taking her drawings to him.

    The mayor embraced his daughter warmly and examined the drawings.

    ¡°Wow! I¡¯m impressed¡±

    ¡°I told you that I can draw really well¡± she smiled at him.

    ¡°Hmm¡­ you did a good job with Liam¡¯s photo how about we try Nichs photo?¡±

    Mrs Williams was dumbstruck at what was going on¡­ they were hiding something from her and she was sure of it.

    ¡°What is the drawing about?¡± She asked to receive silence in return.

    ¡°I¡¯m asking a question!¡± she raised her voice a little higher¡­

    ¡°Your question is meaningless¡­ as you can see she is happy at the moment don¡¯t try to ruin her mood¡­ and yes I told her to draw whatever she needs or wants and there you have it!¡± The mayor said and walked past her.

    Allison shook her head slowly ¡°There! you got the answer you wanted to hear, curious cat!¡± she scorned.

    Mrs Williams searched around for her phone, she needed to meet Liam in person to inform him of the horrible things her children and husband were plotting against him before it¡¯s toote.

 Chapter 135_ Separation 2

    Amelia¡¯s made a beeping sound, she pulled it out and creased her brow. ¡°Umm¡­ Liam I have to go with Chloe for her schoolpetition¡­ take care¡± She said and nted a kiss on Liam¡¯s cheek.

    ¡°please be careful¡±

    Amelia nodded her head and left the room, as soon as the door closed, Liam closed hisptop and pulled out his phone.

    ¡°Make sure they are guarded well¡­ I don¡¯t want any mistakes this time¡±

    There was a knock on the door before it was pushed open¡­ Stephanie stepped in with a pink luggage which Liam noticed to belong to amelia.

    Stephanie¡¯s eyes widened in shock, she bowed her head and was about to leave with the luggage before Liam stopped her.

    ¡°Wait! where are you going with that?¡± Liam questioned.

    Stephanie massaged her nape acting nervous and scared. ¡°Young miss asked me to bring it to her room¡±

    Liam raised a brow, as far as he knew Amelia she wasn¡¯tzy to pack her things.

    ¡°Drop it in there¡± Liam mumbled pointing at the closet.

    ¡°No master I think I will bring it in when shees back home¡­¡± Stephanie blurted out.

    Liam tilted his head to the side,¡±Are you refuting my order?!¡± He said in a low growl.

    Stephanie gulped down and wiped her sweaty forehead with the back of her palm.

    ¡°No.. no¡­ master.. young miss asked me to bring it in only when she is around¡±

    Liam stood up impatiently and pulled the luggage handle. ¡°Leave this minute!¡± he yelled pointing at the closed doors.

    Stephanie turned around and scurried out of the room.

    Liam hissed in anger, his grey orbs slowly travelled to the pink luggage.

    He became curious on what Amelia was hiding in the box and that too away from him.

    He ced the luggage on the bed and unzipped it, a deep frown etched on his forehead as he stared at her neatly packed clothes.

    ¡°Is she nning to go on a vacation?¡± he mumbled confusedly.

    His eyes caught a green colored sheet of paper that was buried among her clothes.

    Liam pulled out the paper and flipped the note that was folded into two.

    ¡°Hmm.. what does it say?¡± he murmured, and almost immediately the smile on his face vanished.

    He ransacked her neatly packed clothes to find two airne tickets.

    Like the speed of light he dashed out of the room closing the door harshly behind him..

    .

    Chloe pulled Amelia towards her group of friends.

    ¡°Wow.. Chloe¡¯s mum is beautiful just like she says¡± one of the girlsmented.

    Amelia raised a brow ¡°Mum?¡± she whispered to Chloe who shrugged.

    ¡°Yes I told you that I have a very pretty mum and your mum can¡¯t bepared to her¡± Chloe bragged which left a downcast expression on her friends faces.

    Amelia went on one knee to reach their heights ¡°don¡¯t listen to Chloe¡­ I¡¯m sure you must have really pretty mom¡¯s¡± Amelia said trying to lift up their spirits.

    ¡°Well they are definitely not super star actresses¡± Chloe scorned.

    ¡°Chloe!¡± Amelia stood up on her feet taking Chloe away.

    ¡°Don¡¯t scold me for their sake¡­ they make jest of me whenever my mum doesn¡¯t show up for mypetition and sometimes they call me motherless¡±

    Amelia¡¯s gaze softened, she nted a kiss on Chloe¡¯s cheeks and smiled.

    ¡°So you told them that I¡¯m your mum?¡±

    Chloe nodded eagerly ¡°Yes! and don¡¯t ruin my little lie or else I won¡¯t speak to you anymore¡± she said with a pout which Amelia found cute.

    A guard walked towards them and stopped by Amelia¡¯s side¡­ he whispered a few words to her which she nodded to.

    ¡°Listen sweetie I want you to wait right here for me I will be back okay?¡±

    Chloe nodded ¡°Don¡¯t take too long¡±

    Amelia smiled and touched Chloe¡¯s head gently ¡°Come on honey I will be back before you know it¡± Amelia assured and was about to leave.

    ¡°Big sis¡± Chloe called out before embracing Amelia tightly.

    ¡°Awwn I promise that I wille back.. just give me a few minutes okay?¡±

    The guard handed Amelia a phone ¡°Greg has been discharged from the hospital and I don¡¯t want him near this environment make sure it¡¯s well guarded¡± Amelia ordered which he bowed to.

    She moved out of the way for him to leave, right now she didn¡¯t want anything to ruin her new found happiness with Liam.

    She suddenly had the urge to pee and she found the restroom after a two minutes walk in the hallway.

    Amelia entered a cubicle and after a few more minutes she came out feeling relieved. She turned around to leave when she bumped into someone¡¯s chest.

    A soft gasp escaped her lips when she came face to face with the person.

    ¡°You!¡±

    Before she could say anything anymore a liquid was sprayed on her face and she lost consciousness..

    .

    Liam arrived at Chloe¡¯s elementary school, he walked into the building that was bubbling with kids and their parents.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    It didn¡¯t take him long before he spotted Amelia¡¯s guards mixed in the crowd, when they saw him approaching they bowed.

    ¡°Where is Amelia?¡± his icy tone shook them to the core.

    ¡°She left a couple of minutes ago¡­ she was heading towards the restroom¡±

    Liam nced around ¡°And where is she? what is your job exactly?!¡±

    Liam pulled out his phone and tried her line several times but he couldn¡¯t get through, he hissed in anger and suddenly remembered something.

    ¡°track her location, there¡¯s a tracking chip on her ne find her location this minute!¡± heshed out irritably.

    He needed to speak to her unless he might go mad.

    ¡°No¡­ she can¡¯t do that¡­ I trust her enough¡± he mumbled.

    Meanwhile at a hotel¡­.

    Nichs pushed Stephanie out of the room and threw a bundle of cash at her. ¡°Take it and leave! your work here is done¡±

    Stephanie red at him ¡°You have very limited time to do your part before Liam finds out that you are gone¡±

    Stephanie turned around to leave when. she bumped into ady.

    ¡°Get out now!¡± Allison ordered.

    Nichs furrowed his brows on seeing her, he cursed his luck so much.

    Allison raised a brow at Nichs and tried to peep into the room.

    ¡°I know that she is here with you!¡±

    Nichs tried to close the door but got hit on the head by Allison.

    ¡°You fool¡­ you¡¯ve actually helped me a lot by bringing this actress here¡±

    Nichs groaned in pain as he touched his injured head. ¡°Are you mad?!¡± he yelled through gritted teeth trying to remain conscious.

    His head injury hasn¡¯t fully recovered yet, he staggered for a bit and eventually lost consciousness¡­

    Allison smiled and tossed the rod she used on him aside, she walked into the suite to see Amelia peacefully sleeping.

    ¡°You cane in now¡± she yelled and few men came into the room.

    Allison threw herself on the couch present in the suite. ¡°I want to witness a real life drama¡­. poor little Amelia how will you be able to face Liam after this?¡±

    She turned towards the men present with her ¡°You know what to do¡­ make it quick¡± she ordered and took a magazine from the table in front of her.

 Chapter 136_ Separation 3

    Louisa sat up from the bed, she sighed in relief, she couldn¡¯t wait to get back to her apartment.

    The doctor scribbled some words on his notepad before handing it over to the nurse beside him.

    ¡°You are good to go now¡­¡± The doctor said with a smile.

    ¡°That¡¯s a relief¡± she murmured and helped herself down from the bed.

    She had expected Amelia to show up today but she didn¡¯t.

    Louisa came out of the ward, she was a bit surprised to see Dn sitting patiently waiting for her.

    She noticed the dark circles under his eyes, he must have had a tough time sleeping.

    She managed to smile at him, which he returned back also.

    ¡°How are you feeling now?¡± he asked to ease the tense atmosphere.

    ¡°Was I ever sick?¡± she asked in exaggeration which made Dn¡¯s grin widen.

    ra¡¯s words kept haunting herst night that she was wide awake the whole night, was she really wrong with her perspectives about Dn?

    ¡°Thank you¡±

    Dn lifted a brow ¡°What is that for?¡±

    ¡°for everything, even though I was so mean to you.. you still showed me your support¡±

    Dn stared at his feet and nodded in understanding..

    ¡°It was my pleasure Lou¡±

    Louisa snapped her head to him, after all these days he finally called her shortened name.

    ¡°I can drop you off if you want¡± Dn offered which she obliged to.

    He was a bit curious on what brought the sudden change in her attitude towards him, he was sure that there was more to her change in attitude other than her gratefulness to him..

    Liam dismissed his driver and took the steering himself, he roughly drove out of the school leaving behind a cloud of dust behind him.

    His heart pounded hard against his ribcage as he thought of different possible reasons that Amelia would do that to him.

    Within few minutes he got to the hotel, he used the elevator to reach the fifth floor quickly.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.

    As soon as he stepped out of the elevator the red dot on his phone which indicated her location stopped moving.

    He nced at the closed door in front of him and swallowed hard.

    Liam stretched out his hand shakingly to the door, he pushed it open slowly and entered the room.

    He felt the air around him seized by the sight in front of him, he staggered a bit and knocked down a small penguin statue resting on a shelf.

    Amelia rested her head on Nichs bare chest, his arm was strongly wrapped around her waist.

    The noise of the statue was enough to wake them up from their sleep.

    Amelia opened her eyes and was a bit surprised on seeing Liam .. she raised her head from Nichs chest and frowned deeply.

    Her eyes widened when she realized that she was half naked under the sheet.

    ¡°Liam!¡± Amelia called out.

    Meanwhile Nichs had a smile on his develish face, he pulled Amelia to himself. ¡°don¡¯t be scared baby¡­ he was bound to find out sooner orter¡±

    Amelia wriggled out of his grip and threw a p to his face.

    Liam gritted his teeth in anger, his knuckles turned light purple. He walked towards Nichs and threw a punch at his face.

    ¡°You daredy your hands on my wife!!¡±

    Nichs crackled up inughter, which only annoyed Liam.

    ¡°I once told you that I will have Amelia just like how you got her through a stand¡­. now look at her! look at those love bites on her body.. I marked her as mine¡±

    Amelia¡¯s eyes turned red, hot tears flowed down her face, she grabbed her dress that was on the bed and dawned it on.

    Liam threw Nichs across the room after he made that statement.

    ¡°Liam don¡¯t listen to him nothing of that sought happened! he is lying¡±

    Liam swiftly turned to her and grabbed her chin ¡°did I ask you to speak? where did I go wrong? answer me!¡± Liam yelled jerking her up.

    He punched the wall above her head in anger which made her scream out in fright.

    ¡°You once said that I was impotent¡­ I just showed you how manly I can ever be and that too with your wife!¡± Nichs scorned.

    Liam¡¯s eyes rested on her neck where the hickeys were.

    Amelia raised her hands to cover the hickeys, she touched his arm.¡±Liam please don¡¯t believe all these.. I could never betray you this way¡± she pleaded.

    Liam pulled his arm out of her grip ¡°I don¡¯t want you calling my name with your filthy mouth¡­ and I don¡¯t want to see you anymore! I¡¯m so ashamed of you.. I was such a fool to fall for a person as cheap as you!¡±

    Amelia sent a hot p to his face which only fueled his anger.

    ¡°Is this the trust you have for me? you know well how much I love you¡­ I fought everyone just for your sake and you are questioning my character?¡± Amelia fired harshly at him.

    Liam pointed at the bed ring at her ¡°Then tell me what that was! I¡¯m not an idiot.. the signals were there but I chose to believe you because I loved you¡­ and what did you do? you betrayed me by having an affair with my enemy!¡±

    Amelia swallowed hard, her tears flowed down endlessly as she watched Liam leave the room in anger. she mped her mouth with her hands to stop herself from screaming out¡­..

    .

    Liam entered his car and sped off, his heart waspletely shattered, he felt cheated and lifeless.

    He banged the steering and yelled out in pain, he finally understood the feeling of being cheated on. Even though his heart chose not to believe it all the evidence were there.

    The flight ticket he saw earlier and the letter everything¡­ and what about the photos he found in her parcel the other day¡­.

    Liam was so deeply shattered that he failed to see the truck behind his car.

    Mark handed Brianna the flowers he got, she sniffed it and smiled in content.

    ¡°So you still know what my favorite flower is after all these years that passed by?¡± Briannamented touching the white lilies.

    Mark lifted a brow ¡°What do you mean by that? everything about you is imprinted in my heart and it will always remain that way¡±

    ¡°Daddy¡±

    Mark heard his name being called out, he snapped his head to the direction of the voice.

    Chloe ran to him with tears in her eyes, she embraced him sobbing gently.

    ¡°Chloe? why are you crying?¡± Mark asked worriedly stroking her hair.

    Chloe rubbed her eyes ¡°Big sis has gone missing and we can¡¯t find her¡±

    The ss of juice on Cecile¡¯s hands fell down causing a shattering noise.

    ¡°What?¡±

    A guard hurriedly walked into the living room, he had a worried look on his face as he stared at them.

    ¡°Master there¡¯s a huge problem¡± he announced which got them all worried.

    ¡°What is it?¡± mark inquired his heart was already beating faster than normal.

    ¡°Young master was involved in an ident few minutes ago¡±

    Brianna gasped and passed out¡­.

 Chapter 137_ The final laugh

    Allison squealed in excitement and ran into her father¡¯s embrace. ¡°I love you so much daddy! you did it!¡±

    The mayor patted her back gently, his daughter¡¯s happiness was his happiness.

    ¡°I don¡¯t keep false promises¡±

    Mrs Williams walked into the room, she shook her head at the sight before her, her husband and children can do anything they want even if it means ruining other people¡¯s lives to get what they want.

    Allison¡¯s smile vanished she pulled away from her father ¡°Dad I will be upstairs¡± she announced and was about to leave.

    ¡°Don¡¯t leave yet Allison¡± Mrs Williams called back.

    Allison rolled her eyes and folded her arm beneath her bossom. ¡°I Know what you are about to say and trust me I¡¯m not interested in any way!¡±

    ¡°You should be! you all havemitted a huge crime by separating those two¡­ don¡¯t you have any empathy?¡±

    Allison nced briefly at her dad ¡°Dad please deal with this¡± she nonchntlymented and walked out.

    ¡°You should be correcting her mistakes and not helping her instead¡±

    The mayor raised a brow ¡°If you have a problem with her happiness, you are very free to leave this house or just pretend to be supportive¡±

    ..

    Cecile massaged her head in worry, Liam was in a bad condition and Amelia was nowhere to be found.

    ¡°Daddy will big bro be okay?¡± Chloe innocently asked to receive a nod from her dad.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    Mark wiped his face with a white neat face towel, he was in a tough situation whereby his wife and son were being hospitalized.

    There was a littlemotion as three guys hurriedly came into the building.

    Cecile and mark turned their attention to them, they recognized them to be Liam¡¯s friends.

    ¡°Uncle.. aunt what is the doctor saying about his condition?¡± Dn inquired with a worried tone.

    The door to the ward opened, the doctor came out.¡±Is he going to be fine?¡± James inquired

    ¡°He lost a lot of blood¡­ I can¡¯t say anything just yet because he is under strict observation¡­¡±

    Cecile ced her palm over her mouth muffling her cries. she wondered which of their enemies had casted such an evil eye on their happiness.

    ¡°And what about my wife?¡± mark asked worriedly.

    ¡°She is okay and awake you can see her now¡± the doctor announced and almost immediately mark dashed off.

    Dn turned to Steven and James, he knew something about this ident was fishy.

    ¡°I will find out what caused this ident¡­ you both will go out and find Liam¡¯s wife by the looks of things she is missing¡±

    They nodded to his words and hurriedly left the hospital. Dn turned to Cecile who was still trying to reach Amelia¡¯s line.

    ¡°Aunt.. don¡¯t worry about anything we will do our best to find your daughter and at the same time¡­ I will make whoever that is responsible for Liam¡¯s ident pay dearly¡±

    ..

    Amelia ran in front of a moving vehicle, she waved her hand for the driver to stop. The car made a screeching noise before it came to an abrupt halt.

    She nced back and saw the mening after her, without wasting much time she entered the car.

    ¡°Move! what are you waiting for?!¡± she yelled at the guy who gulped down nervously and started the car, he sped off and soon joined the highway.

    Amelia threw her head back on the headrest, she noticed the guy was staring weirdly at her.

    ¡°I can swear that you didn¡¯t pick a maddy or a thief¡± she blurted out which somehow amused him.

    He offered her a napkin which she epted and wiped her tears¡­

    ¡°Who were they?¡± he questioned.

    He was a bit startled when she suddenly bursted out into tears.

    Regardless of who he was she still cried her eyes out, what was the use of living if everything she had was all gone?

    The car stopped by the roadside, he nced at her when her cries became too much.

    ¡°miss.. can you tell me what¡¯s wrong? I¡¯m heading to the airport and I don¡¯t want to miss my flight¡±

    Amelia sniffed back her tears and raised her head to meet his eyes.

    He was a bit taken aback, he recognized her as the popr tv actress that his sister daisy loves talking about.

    ¡°You are Amelia Hart!¡± he eximed in shock and surprise.

    Amelia was in no mood to smile at a fan, what happened back at the hotel shed back to her mind, it all felt like a dream¡­ and what about the look of hatred and disgust she saw in Liam¡¯s eyes¡­

    She cursed her fate so much¡­. why does everyone she loves have to leave her at some point?

    She wiped her tears and stared ahead ¡°I¡¯m not weak¡­ Liam hates me so much now that he sent his guards after me to get rid of me¡­ take me to the airport¡±

    Jason had a weird look on his face, he had no idea of what she was talking about, but he obliged since he needed to be at a business meeting..

    .

    Few dayster after the ident¡­..

    Louisa handed Dn a mug of hot tea, they¡¯ve been searching for Amelia for days now.

    Dn stared at the mug with a raised brow, he still didn¡¯t know why exactly she was acting all nice to him¡­

    ¡°ra told me everything¡± She said after a while, Dn hissed in annoyance.. that ra gave him off.

    ¡°Hmm cool¡± he muttered and epted the mug from her.

    Louisa pulled her fingers, she was still contemting on how to say what was on her mind.

    Dn noticed her uneasiness ¡°Do you want to say something?¡±

    Louisa licked her lower lips ¡°Yeah¡­ ra told me that you both weren¡¯t really in a rtionship¡­ so does that mean that our engagement is still valid?¡±

    Dn was intrigued, he loved where this was heading and he decided to y dumb.

    ¡°I don¡¯t get what you are trying to say Louisa¡±

    Louisa released a deep breath ¡°Are we still engaged?¡±

    Dn had a teasing smile on his lips, he simply shrugged his shoulder and took a sip out of his cup..

    ¡°It all depends on you Lou¡­ what do you really want?¡±

    Louisa¡¯s heart skipped a beat, what does she really want? he knew well what her answer will be so why was he still asking?

    ¡°I think we should call it off¡± she said in a really low tone.

    Dn raised his mug to her and ced it back on the table..

    ¡°Is that what you really want? anyway I think I have a better solution¡­ how about we give our rtionship a trial for one month and see where it leads us to¡±

    ..

    Brianna touched Liam¡¯s face and sobbed gently,¡±Liam why have you been avoiding my questions? where is Amelia?¡±

    Liam tried his best to stay still but the mere mention of her name seemed to give his pretense away.

    Liam raised his hands and pulled off his oxygen mask..

    ¡°Mum¡­ if you want to see me recover then you have to promise me that you won¡¯t mention that name ever again¡±

    Cecile touched his arm and caressed it lovingly.

    ¡°Liam dear¡­ please don¡¯t punish me this way.. I¡¯m very certain that you know about Amelia¡¯s whereabout¡±

    Liam groaned out loudly as he clutched his chest gasping for air¡­

    ¡°Liam!.. what is wrong?¡± Brianna asked worriedly, the door pushed open as the doctor came in to examine Liam..

    ¡°Please you all can leave now¡­ he is still so weak¡±

    A nurse showed them their way out, however when they got out they were surprised to see Allison and her brother waiting patiently for them.

    ¡°You!¡± Cecile pointed at Allison and pulled her hair backwards, Allison flinched from the sharp pain as she tried to free herself.

    Fred separated Allison from Cecile¡¯s grip, he had to say that both mother and daughter shared the same crazy nature.

    Allison massaged her scalp softly while ring at thedy in front of her.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure she had something to do with Amelia¡¯s disappearance.. thisdy is vicious!¡± Cecile spat out irritably.

    Mark held Cecile from attacking Allison once more, they were in a public ce which would be really bad for their reputation.

    ¡°I had a hand in your daughter¡¯s disappearance? don¡¯t you know where Amelia is?¡± Allison had a scornful smile on her face which Cecile badly wanted to p off.

    Brianna grabbed Allison¡¯s arm shaking her ¡°Tell me where she is¡±

    Allison pulled off Brianna¡¯s hands from hers ¡°Dear soon to be mother inw don¡¯t make me hate you¡­ aren¡¯t you aware of what your so called Amelia did?¡±

    Mark, Cecile and Brianna all had a confused look on their faces.

    Allison smacked her lips and tilted her head to the side..¡±well I guess it¡¯s story time, and this story is really shocking so hold your breath¡±

    ¡°Your daughter, Amelia was found in a hotel room with her brother inw Nichs¡­ they had such a romantic time together¡­ Liam found out about it and that¡¯s what resulted this ident, simple and straight forward¡±

    Cecile gasped in shock, her daughter was not that kind of a person, she was pretty sure that Allison was telling lies.

    ¡°How dare you speak ill of my daughter?¡± Cecile yelled and sent a sharp p to Allison¡¯s left cheek.

    Fred grabbed Cecile¡¯s chin pushing her backwards until her back touched the wall harshly. ¡°Listen to medy¡­ don¡¯t try to make that same mistake or else I will make you pay dearly!¡±

    Cecile pulled his hands off her chin and pushed him away¡­

    Brianna wheeled her wheelchair to him and stepped on his foot.

    Fred groaned in pain, he hopped to a seat and began massaging his foot.

    ¡°This is just a warning¡­ if you try as much as to bad mouth our daughter I will cut off your legs!¡± Brianna warned.

    Allison hissed in anger ¡°But that doesn¡¯t change the fact that your daughter is a cheap sl*t! why don¡¯t you ask Liam about it? after all he was there to witness that disgusting scene¡­ and don¡¯t be surprised that your daughtermitted suicide because she couldn¡¯t face the shame!¡±

    Chloe threw down everything in sight, she didn¡¯t want to talk to anyone until her big sises back home.

    ¡°Chloe have your meal dear¡­ Amelia is missing¡± Abby tried to console the little girl.

    ¡°No! I don¡¯t want to have any! big sis promised me that she will be back and I know that she always keeps her promise¡±

    Abby gave up and threw herself on the sofa, this was what she had to face after Amelia went missing.

    ¡°Where on earth are you Amelia? everything is all messed up¡± Abby murmured to herself.

    A sigh escaped mark¡¯s lips as he stared at the mess Chloe created, this has be a usual routine for the past six days.

    ¡°Sweetie what have you done?¡± mark asked calmly, he peered at Abby who looked worn out.

    Chloe folded her arm ring at her dad ¡°Only big sis is allowed to call me that! I¡¯m not having my meals until she is back!¡±This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    ¡°Uncle I think we should hire a nanny for her.. she is bing really difficult as the day goes by!¡± Abby suggested.

    ¡°Yeah you are right!¡± mark seconded to Abby¡¯s suggestion, they already had a lot of problems and Chloe was just causing more problems for everyone during this tough times.

    Chloe shook her head at the idea, she doesn¡¯t want a nanny.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want any nanny!! I want big sis!!¡± her tiny voice pierced through their ear drums.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure you would love your nanny¡± mark smiled at her and left the room..

    Abby sat up when Chloe turned the ss table over.

    ¡°Hey!¡± Abby called out only to receive a re from Chloe.. she let out an awkward smile.

    ¡°I meant carry on¡­ good thing this isn¡¯t my house and your brother is super rich to get a new set of furnitures¡± Abby added and left the sitting room, she could hear the sound of things breaking behind her.

    Cecile walked into his room and stared at her feet in embarrassment..

    She ced her palms together ¡°Liam I¡¯m really sorry about what my daughter did¡­ I know that she was wrong¡­ I am leaving your home, even though Amelia messed up big time¡­ I don¡¯t think our rtionship should downgrade this way¡±

    Liam sighed and forced a smile at Cecile, he knew it wasn¡¯t her fault but her presence around him just reminds him of Amelia.

    Cecile had been a great mother figure to him when he needed a mother by his side.

    ¡°How can I ever be mad at my mother? you were never at fault¡­ and neither was your daughter, after all we only had a contract marriage which ends in a few months time¡±

    Cecile wiped her tears and left his room, she just lost a son as well as a daughter¡­

    Liam stared at the closed doors, he walked towards the vanity table and stared at the mirror¡­

    Everything in this room reminded him of her, his smile froze as he saw her waving at him in the mirror.

    He sharply turned back but saw no one, he faced the mirror again and saw her smiling happily at him again.

    In a fit of rage he punched the mirror so hard with his fist¡­

    The mirror shattered and was stained with blood, blood dripped down from his fist that tightened.

    Thedy in ck sunsses was wearing a ck satin gown that fell to her ankles.

    The fabric was smooth and luxurious, and the dress was tailored to perfection.

    The neckline was low and elegant, revealing just a hint of her pale skin. Her jewelry was simple and tasteful, a string of pearls around her neck and a pair of diamond studs in her ears.

    Her shoes were ck stilettos, adding the perfect amount of height and sophistication.

    She was a vision of timeless beauty, a woman who knows her own worth and carries herself with grace.

    Thedy in ck spectacles had a yful smile on her lips, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

    She was a woman of wit and charm, and she moved through the room with a natural grace.

    Her voice was low and melodic, and herughter was like music. She had a way of making everyone in the room feel at ease, her warmth and charm contagious.

    A firm footstep was heard as a figure entered the room, he stared at the damages in the living room and raised a brow.

    ¡°Oh great! you are back¡­. I¡¯m in no mood to listen to one of your endless lectures¡±

    mark¡¯s brow drew together, he crotched down to her height and pulled her cheeks.

    ¡°If you keep destroying my properties then I have no other choice than to send you to your big brother I¡¯m sure he will handle you well¡±

    Chloe rolled her eyes ¡°Like I¡¯m scared of him!¡± she scoffed loudly and left the room.

    Mark sighed and stood up, he turned to the maids ¡°Get her things ready and send her to Liam¡¯s home!¡± he ordered.

    Liam was the only one who can handle her now, speaking about Liam what is he up to?

    The door to a silver Rolls-Royce phantom opened as a tall figure stepped out of it¡­.. He fastened his cufflinks as he walked through the shing camera of the media¡¯s.

    His grey orbs were focused straight ahead of him, there was a littlemotion as his guards tried to fight off the reporters who were following Liam .

    ¡°Mr Grayson! one question¡±

    He had a straight face as he walked on the red carpet, the double doors were opened as he stepped into the building.

    An average height man with a bald head stood up quickly upon Liam¡¯s arrival.

    ¡°Mr Grayson you are here.. it¡¯s an honor to meet you in person, I¡¯m Mr Thompson¡± The man excitedly said stretching his hands forward for a handshake.

    Mr Thompson smiled awkwardly as he withdrew his outstretched hand which Liam ignored.. he led Liam into a conference room which contained arge amount of business men.

    He was led to sit on his designated seat at the VIP table.

    Mr Thompson walked up on stage and whispered a few words to the MC. He collected the microphone and tapped on it.

    ¡°Good evening gentle men¡­ as we all know about the projectunching we have the man of the year¡­ Mr Liam Grayson¡± he announced to see everyone rised up on their feet pping their hands.

    Liam got up from his seat and walked to the podium, the microphone was handed over to him by Mr Thompson.

    He released a breath as he held the microphone ¡°As you all know that achievement don¡¯te easily to you without you working hard for it¡­ I want to dedicate all my sess and hardwork to thedy who had been by my side when others were nowhere to be found¡­

    Allison had a never ending smile on her face, she knew he was talking about her.. it would be so nice if he calls her name out in public, she stared at his handsome face on the screen and squealed in excitement.

    ¡°My sess can only be dedicated to no other than my precious mum¡­ Brianna Grayson!¡± Liam dered with a smile..

    There was another round of apuse as Liam stepped down from the stage¡­

    .

    Amelia pulled off her heels as she got into her room. ¡°Oh gosh¡­ today was hectic!¡± she eximed as she stared herself in the mirror.

    Jason came in and handed her a brown envelope. She stared at the envelope in confusion

    ¡°It came in today¡­ you¡¯ve been contracted as the new model for Benson¡¯s skincare¡±

    Amelia¡¯s lips parted in surprise ¡°Wow that¡¯s super cool¡±

    Jason creased his brow and remained quiet for a few seconds. ¡°Is it me or is this house unusually peaceful?¡±

    The sound of giggles filled a room, as four kids yed video games.

    ¡°Wow¡­ your room is super cool, I will tell my dad to make my room sparkle like this!¡± one of the kidsmented.

    ¡°When do we get to meet your parents?¡±

    Aidan turned to his friends with a raised brow ¡°You love my room? but I hate sparkles and you want to meet my parents? I bet you don¡¯t really mean it!¡±

    The girl among them stood up and ced her two hands on her waist.¡±There¡¯s really no need to act all grumpy about everything¡±

    Aidan hummed in reply and returned to his video game¡­ his new friends were a thorn in his flesh always bugging him with ridiculous questions.

    The door to his room opened and Amelia stepped in, she gasped softly as she saw all the kids present in the room, she hopped to get to them because of the toys littered around.

    ¡°Who is she Aidan?¡±

    Aidan raised his head and smiled ¡°That¡¯s my ssic mum¡± he said with a bored tone.

    Amelia waved her hands at them and rested her gaze on Aidan. ¡°Aidan do you care to exin?¡±

    Aidan shrugged and returned his attention back to his game.

    ¡°Aidan¡¯s mum¡­ you are pretty¡±

    Amelia blushed hard at thepliments, however she still wanted to know what they were doing in her house sote at night..

    ¡°Aidan can we talk?¡±

    Aidan nced back at her and shook his head before he continued his game.

    However in the next minute he was carried out by Amelia.

    Aidan had a calm expression on his face as he was being interrogated by his parents.

    ¡°Aidan we are waiting¡± Jason said

    ¡°Can only mum speak from now on? thanks!¡±

    Amelia sighed, her son was so unbelievable and his arrogance was nothing to write home about.

    ¡°honey can you tell us why you invited a bunch of your friends without letting us know first? who knows their parents might be worried¡±

    Aidan narrowed his eyes at her ¡°Well their parents aren¡¯t worried, and they are having a sleepover¡­ I hope I made myself clear enough¡±Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    Amelia and Jason exchanged looks, Jason leaned closer to Amelia.¡±Are you sure you gave birth to him?¡± he whispered.

    ¡°Aidan! don¡¯t speak to me so rudely¡­ now apologize!¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything wrong for me to apologize, by the way send our snacks and drinks upstairs.. I¡¯ll be in my room¡± Aidan said and left the room.

    Amelia face palmed herself and left for the kitchen. Aidan will make her go nuts one day with his rude and arrogant behavior.

    His arrogance reminded her of someone though, she couldn¡¯t help but travel down the memoryne.

    A tear slipped out of her eyes which she quickly wiped off¡­

    ¡°There¡¯s really no need to cry over spilled milk Amelia¡­ what¡¯s done is done¡±

    Amelia chuckled and wiped her tears ¡°Oh.. you are here¡±

    Jason offered a face towel which she epted ¡°Amelia it¡¯s five years already at least you can tell me his name¡±

    Amelia shook her head, If she did that she was sure that he would do something stupid. And Liam Grayson was not someone you can mess with.

    ¡°Umm.. Jason can you please go and check what the kids are up to?¡± I¡¯ll join you soon¡± she asked to divert the topic.

    Jason sighed, she wasn¡¯t ready to open up to him just yet.

    ¡°Okay¡± he nodded and left the kitchen..

 Chapter 140_ The return 1

    The door to Liam¡¯s office flung wide opened as Allison forced her way in.

    ¡°Liam!¡±

    ¡°just do as I say¡± Liam mumbled to the person over the phone before he turned to her.

    ¡°You do know that I can punish you so badly for barging into my office that way and too with no appointment¡± Liam said with a serious tone.

    Allison banged his table harshly as she red at him. ¡°Our wedding ising up next month what are you doing about it? and what was thatst night? you praised your mum instead of me?¡±

    Liam buzzed the inte, he had no time to spare on a crazy fellow like her.

    ¡°I¡¯m talking to you Liam! are you still thinking about that b*tch?! the one who cheated on you with your half brother?¡±

    Liam sprang up to his feet and caught hold of her neck ¡°If you say one more word¡­ I¡¯ll send your corpse to your father, don¡¯t try to test my patience and abilities¡±

    Two guards entered his office, he released his grip on her and pushed her towards them.

    ¡°Take her away and if she steps into this building again you will have me to deal with¡±

    Allison struggled with them as they pulled her out ¡°Let go of me! argghh¡­ you can¡¯t do this to me Liam¡­ leave me scoundrels!¡±

    The door closed and peace returned to the office once more..

    His gaze trailed off in one direction, he stared at the pink fluffy sofa in his office.

    He changed it from its white design to a pink one after Amelia suggested it.

    Everyday felt like a nightmare without her by his side, he had gotten so used to her around even though it was just few months they spent together.. but she betrayed his trust, no matter how hard he tried to erase her from his mind, he still failed at it..

    .

    Amelia had a smile on her lips when she woke up, she turned to her side but Aidan was nowhere to be found.

    ¡°Aidan¡± she called out only to receive silence in return¡­

    She came out of his room and headed downstairs.. ¡°Is Aidan downstairs?¡± she asked one of the servants that was passing by.

    ¡°Yes ma¡¯am¡±

    Amelia sighed in relief and went down, she could smell a mouth watering aromaing from the kitchen..

    ¡°Hey mum!¡± Aidan waved as he pulled her to sit next to him.

    ¡°Hello Aidan¡¯s mum¡± the kids greeted with a smile stered on their faces.

    Aidan leaned forward to Amelia¡¯s ear ¡°Your husband is making breakfast to impress me and my friends¡±

    ¡°Address him as your dad¡­¡±

    Aidan paused his lips, that would be in his dreams, he hated it whenever he calls Jason his dad.

    ¡°Nah I will pass it this time¡±

    Jason walked into the dining room and sat down while the maids did the serving.

    ¡°You made breakfast today, what¡¯s so special about today?¡±

    Jason¡¯s grey orbs stared at her ¡°I met you today!¡± he announced with a grin on his lips.

    Amelia¡¯s face fell, today was the exact date she left Liam and everyone else.

    Jason noticed the change in her expression and sighed..¡±The kids are here at least you have to act happy, don¡¯t ruin your mood this morning please¡±

    Aidan shot jason a look ¡°What did you say to make my mum sad?¡±

    Jason smiled and ruffled Aidan¡¯s hair, sometimes Aidan reminds him of someone he knows.

    ¡°Oh the cutie wants to fight me for his mum¡¯s sake¡±Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    Amelia kissed Aidan¡¯s cheeks and whispered some words into his ears which made him smile.

    ¡°We need to talk after breakfast Amelia¡± Jason announced which she nodded to..

    .

    Jason handed a white sheet of paper to Amelia, she collected it and began scanning through it.

    ¡°This is a transfer letter Jason why would your dad do that?¡±

    Jason sighed ¡°there¡¯s a feud going on between my rtives and the only way to do resolve that is if I go back to our city permanently¡±

    Amelia¡¯s lips parted, she spranged up to her feet as she saw the city on the paper.. the city where she had left everything behind.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure there must be some other way to resolve their issues without us going back there¡± Amelia worriedly stated.

    Jason held her shoulder ¡°I can promise you that all will go well¡­ and it¡¯s a good thing also I can get to expand my business over there¡­ an investor recently called me for a one on one chat¡±

    Amelia sighed in defeat, what other choice does she have?

    ¡°So when are we leaving?¡±

    ¡°This weekend¡± Jason announced and left the room.

    Amelia crumpled the sheet of paper and threw it away in annoyance.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to see him anymore¡±

    ..

    Brianna massaged Liam¡¯s stiff shoulders gently, her poor son has been working endlessly to punish himself.

    ¡°Liam dear¡­ the mayor called¡±

    Liam closed his eyes, he was enjoying the feeling of her hands on his shoulder which worked like magic.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure his daughter must have mentioned our bad encounter today¡± Liam murmured.

    Brianna sighed ¡°When will you get to move on with your life? at least pity me and give me some grandchildren¡±

    Liam held her hands on his shoulder, he sat up and stared at her face.

    ¡°Mum¡­ I¡¯m really sorry that you won¡¯t be able to hold or y with your grandchildren because I¡¯ve decided not to have any or get married to any otherdy¡±

    Brianna ced her palm over his mouth ¡°Stop saying such¡­ don¡¯t make me upset with you.. I already told you that you should forget about whatever happened between you and Amelia¡±

    Hearing her name again seemed to pull a string in his heart.

    ¡°Mum you knew how much I loved Amelia.. we nned a future together¡­ that day she left I was nning to propose to her¡­ but what did she do?¡±

    Brianna nted a kiss on his forehead ¡°I know what it feels like¡­ I really didn¡¯t see her as that kind ofdy, I guess we were wrong about her¡±

    Liam closed his eyes and rested back on his seat, he thought his feelings for her would have been dead by now but.. darn! he was wrong.

    He felt like ending it all, she came into his life like a cloud and left also the same way she came.

    ¡°She didn¡¯t even say goodbye, ore to see me onest time¡­ she could have given me a valid reason¡± he murmured.

    Brianna stroked his hair slowly, she had tried to set him up on blind dates over the years but he tantly declined them all.

    The door to his office opened after a small knock, his assistant came in with a brown envelope.

    ¡°Good day ma¡¯am, boss this came in for you just now¡±

    Liam epted the envelope and waved her off, ¡°Liam who is it from?¡±

    Liam pulled out several photos from it and his gaze darkened.

    Brianna picked a photo and stared at it in disgust, in the photo was Amelia and Nichs embracing each other in what seems like a hospital.

    Liam noticed how happy she was in the photos with Nichs which made him wonder how she hid such a big thing away from him.

    Brianna gathered the photo and shredded it to small pieces, her son has gone through enough to be constantly reminded of her.

    ¡°Who sent it?¡± she turned the envelope upside down and a white note slipped out.

    Liam picked up the note and stared at the words scribbled on it.

    ¡®Today makes it five years in which you lost your

    wife to me, that day was the best thing that has

    ever happened to me¡¯

    Liam crumpled the sheet of paper in his palm, he didn¡¯t need a genie to tell him who this note was from.

    Even though Nichs was in prison he still managed to send him this¡­ maybe it was time he paid that scoundrel a visit.

 Chapter 141_ The return 2

    Aidan sat grumpily as he watched his mum pack his clothes.

    ¡°Mummy do we really have to go? I just made new friends¡±

    Amelia nced briefly at him and smiled ¡°Honey we have no other choice, daddy got transferred so we have to leave too¡± Amelia said mimicking Aidan¡¯s cute little voice.

    ¡°Why can¡¯t he go alone?¡±

    Amelia dropped the clothes on the bed and stared at him.

    ¡°he is your dad and we all have to go together because we are a family¡±

    Aidan shook his head and helped himself down from the bed.

    ¡°Well I¡¯m not going anywhere.. you both can go without me!¡± he yelled at the top of his voice and matched out of the room.

    Amelia touched her chest while she stared at the closed door. ¡°How disrespectful! and such a temper¡±

    ..

    Liam raised his head when his door was pushed opened, a girl about ten years of age marched straight to his desk, he watched her pull off her backpack and threw it across his office.

    Chloe ced both hands on the desk and red at him.

    ¡°I¡¯m here now! dad sent me to you so that I can get someshing¡± she scorned.

    Liam raised a brow, he still couldn¡¯t believe that she was still upset with him all those years when he couldn¡¯t find her big sis.

    He pointed at the fluffy pink sofa at the farther end of the room.

    ¡°Sit over there!¡± He ordered and returned his gaze back to hisptop.

    However, hisptop was closed down, he raised his head to meet her cold re. For a second there he thought he saw Amelia¡¯s trait in her.

    ¡°You can¡¯t order me around Mr Arrogant!¡±

    Liam¡¯s lips parted in shock and surprise, how rude and mannerless of her.

    It¡¯s been years now and no one has addressed him by that.

    ¡°What did you just call me?¡± his voice came out in a low growl which didn¡¯t seem to move her, not even a strand of her hair.

    ¡°Are you upset about it? well that¡¯s a good thing.. I was even more upset when I found out that you were the reason big sis left¡±

    Liam rxed back on his seat, not this again.. he sighed and pointed his finger to the fluffy sofa once more.

    ¡°to the sofa¡­. now!¡±

    Chloe¡¯s lips twitched, she threw her hair resting on her shoulder to the back, before folding her arm.

    ¡°And what if I decide to remain standing? what are you going to do about it?¡±

    Liam¡¯sst shred of sanity was broken, he sprang up to his feet and walked around the table.

    He grabbed Chloe¡¯s arm and pulled her into a room in his office.

    ¡°Big bro let me out!¡± Chloe yelled banging the closed door.

    Liam sighed in relief and returned back to his work..

    .

    Jason squeezed Amelia¡¯s hands, he could feel how scared and tense she was.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry I¡¯m here with you¡± He assured which Amelia didn¡¯t find assuring at all.

    Jason doesn¡¯t know who her ex husband was, she tried to assure herself that all will be well.

    ¡°Dad, why is mummy sad again? did you say something to upset her?¡± Aidan questioned with furrowed brows.

    Jason stared at the cutie from the rearview mirror, he could tell from his glowing grey orbs that he was upset.

    ¡°Amelia can you see how our son is ready to fight me? why don¡¯t you get married to your mum instead and let¡¯s see if you can do better than me¡± Jason jested with a smile.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure that I will do a lot better than you¡± Aidan murmured.

    Their car stopped in front of a five star hotel, Jason came down and opened the door for Amelia to step out.

    He walked to the back seat, just when his hand was about to touch the door, Aidan pushed the door open which hit Jason pretty bad.

    ¡°I¡¯m not a kid for you to do that!¡± Aidan arrogantlymented and stood beside his mum.

    Amelia lifted his face up ¡°Aidan say sorry¡± Amelia scolded.

    ¡°And why should I? he was the one who made me lose my new friends¡± Aidan defended.

    Amelia sent an apologetic look to Jason, but thetter didn¡¯t mind.

    ¡°You both can go in.. I¡¯ll send in the luggages¡± Jason said which Amelia nodded to.

    Liam came down from his car, beside him was the trouble called Chloe.

    ¡°Chloe listen I¡¯m having a meeting here with a few business partners don¡¯t ruin in it for me and I promise to get you whatever you really want¡±

    Chloe¡¯s eyes shone in greed, she knew he would stick to his promise¡­. her pupils dted when she recalled how he locked her up in that sound proof room.

    ¡°I guess it will be double now since you locked me up¡±

    Liam sighed and nudged her back to start moving, she was a real pain in the butt.

    ¡°Yeah.. double¡± Liam repeated.

    ..

    Amelia moved to the front desk with Aidan by her side.

    Aidan looked up to his mum and saw how deep the conversation between she and the receptionist was.

    He slowly moved back until he mixed up with other people.

    ¡°Room 506¡± the receptionist said with a smile which Amelia returned back.

    ¡°okay thanks¡­ Aidan can we¡­..

    She blinked her eyes multiple times to check if she was seeing things since Aidan was no longer by her side.

    ¡°Aidan¡± she called out only to receive weird gazes from people.

    ¡°sorry¡± she whispered, while she continued her search for her son.

    Aidan stared at the interiors of the hotel with a smile on his face¡­

    He raised his head to look up at the ceilings which were really high.

    ¡°Wow..¡±

    Meanwhile¡­.

    ¡°Big bro¡­ is it okay if you actually give me your card? I can get whatever I want that way¡±

    Liam stopped on his tracks and stared at her ¡°I will give it to you only if youply with me or else I won¡¯t¡±

    Chloe folded her arm and shook her head in protest. ¡°I want it now!¡±

    Liam pinched the bridge of his nose, where on earth did shee from, he pulled out his wallet and handed her his card.

    ¡°Here¡­ now the deal is done and closed.. don¡¯t bug me anymore!¡±

    Chloe stared at the card with glee, he actually handed the card to her..

    ¡°I love you big bro¡± she called out which Liam ignored.

    His lips drew a thin line, Chloe¡¯s attitude was just like Amelia¡¯s.

    ¡°Boss the clients are here¡± One of his guards announced to him.

    Liam nodded in response and stood in front of the elevator.

    The elevators door opened and a small boy around five years of age came out with two other elderly.

    Liam¡¯s brow drew together as he stared at the little boy who was also staring back at him with the same curiousity.

    The guards exchanged meaningful gazes, no one needed to tell them what was going on because it was very clear.

    Aidan¡¯s lips parted in surprise as he stared at the tall man towering over him.

    Liam was intrigued and shocked by what he was seeing.

    ¡°Wow.. big bro he looks a lot like you¡± Chloe broke the silence.

    Liam crotched down on one kneel as he stared at the boy. ¡°Hey¡­ handsome¡±

    Aidan smiled sweetly at Liam ¡°You are more handsome..¡± Aidan replied back.

    Liam blushed a bit and touched his hair that was so soft to feel.

    ¡°Can you tell me what your name is?¡± Liam inquired.

    ¡°Aidan!¡±

    Aidan and Liam snapped their heads to the direction of the voice.

    Jason walked towards them and was surprised by who he saw.

    ¡°Mr Grayson ¡­. it¡¯s truly a pleasure to meet you again!¡± Jason eximed.

    Liam rose up to his feet and epted Jason¡¯s outstretched hand.

    ¡°If I¡¯m correct you are Mr Miller¡± Liam asked in uncertainty which Jason nodded to.

    ¡°Yes you are right Mr Grayson!¡±

    Jason turned to Aidan ¡°Aidan your mum and I were worried sick about you¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Mr Grayson If he really troubled you¡­. he is the mischievous type¡± Jason apologized.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    Liam forced a smile and pointed a finger at Aidan ¡°he is your son?¡± Liam asked in curiousity.

    Jason nodded ¡°Yeah he is¡­ you can tell from the way he looks¡± Jason said which made Liam lift a brow.

    ¡°You came all the way here with your family?¡± Liam asked.

    ¡°We¡¯ve moved in to the city permanently, I would also love for you to meet my wife¡± Jason replied back.

    Chloe squinted her eyes at the boy, sure enough he looked like her big bro but he still had the same features as Jason who was his father.

    ¡°Hmm.. how about dinner tomorrow night?¡± Jason asked to receive a nod from Liam.

    ¡°Bye super handsome uncle¡± Aidan waved back to Liam.

    Liam smiled back in return and watched their backs leave.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t he a cutie big bro?¡±

 Chapter 142_ What a small world 1

    Amelia stood up when she saw Aidan and Jason approaching.

    ¡°Aidan¡­¡± Amelia called out and pulled him into her embrace.

    ¡°You silly little boy.. you have no idea of how worried I was¡±

    Aidan held her face in his small hands and smiled ¡°Mummy you know that I can never get lost¡­ nobody will be able to tolerate me for so long¡±

    Jason cleared his throat ¡°And what about me champ?¡± Jason asked before lifting Aidan on his shoulder.

    ¡°Yay! an aerone ride¡± he giggled.

    Amelia picked her purse and followed the father and son duo to their suite..

    .

    Ady sat on a rocking chair hummed a tune, herrge hat that sat on her head shielded her from the rays of the sun.

    ¡°Mum look what I caught!¡±

    She hummed in reply, her daughter was at it again.

    ¡°I¡¯m sure it must be cute just like you¡± she murmured without taking a look.

    The little girl pulled off her mum¡¯s hat and wriggled the little mouse on her mum¡¯s face.

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s really cute just like you!¡± the girl said with a giggle.

    Louisa shrieked in fright and jumped out her seat, she heard a giggleing from the little girl.

    ¡°I scared you didn¡¯t I?¡±

    ¡°Nora!¡± Louisa called out and chased after the mischievous child.

    Nora bumped into a body, she raised her head to meet her aunt¡¯s teasing smile.

    ¡°Did you y a prank on your mum again?¡± Olivia asked picking her up.

    Louisa stopped just in front of them panting slightly..

    ¡°Louisa if you keep chasing her around you will wear yourself out, kids these days are super mischievous and restless¡±.

    ¡°Aunt¡­ mum was so scared of the toy mouse¡± Nora said in between smallughs.

    Louisa raised a brow ¡°Hmm¡­ she is so spoilt and just too much.. I did everything I could to make sure she didn¡¯t end up as a spoilt brat¡±

    Olivia ced Nora down to stand on her own two feets.¡±You gave her everything Lou¡­. but she didn¡¯t get a father¡¯s love¡±

    Louisa¡¯s countenance changed,¡±Olivia let¡¯s not talk about this now please¡­¡±

    Olivia touched Louisa¡¯s shoulders ¡°I respect your wishes.. I¡¯m the most ashamed because he is my brother.. he only runs away from his problems without fixing it¡±

    Louisa touched her head that was starting to hurt so bad, whenever she talks about Dn she gets a headache that takes so long before it goes away.

    ¡°He promised you that he will be back¡± Olivia added trying to change Louisa¡¯s mind.

    ¡°It¡¯s been five years since then¡± Louisa said briefly and left..

    .

    Aidan picked one of his action figures that was on the bed.

    ¡°Mummy, do you know who I saw today?¡± Aidan asked.

    Amelia pulled off her ear rings and reced it with a simpler one.

    ¡°No honey¡±

    Aidan walked to the vanity table where Amelia was changing her essories.

    ¡°I saw big me¡±

    Amelia ruffled his hair and stood up from the chair. ¡°There¡¯s no one like that¡± She said with a chuckle.

    Aidan moved back a little to give her ess ¡°Of course there is¡­ he was super handsome just like me¡±

    Amelia picked up a magazine from the table and started reading it.

    ¡°I know that you are super handsome, stop rubbing it on my face¡±

    Aidan climbed the sofa his mum was sitting on and collected her magazine.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    ¡°No mummy, he was very tall and cute¡±

    Amelia sighed and sat up ¡°oh wow.. yay!¡­ can I have my magazine back?¡± sarcasm was evident in her tone

    ¡°Daddy knows him¡±

    Amelia massaged her head, she rxed back on the sofa.

    ¡°Aidan please don¡¯t trouble mummy, I know your new friend was super handsome but please can I have my magazine back?¡± Amelia pleaded with a pout.

    ¡°Here! have your magazine I will go out and find a new mummy that will give me all the attention I need!¡±

    Amelia blinked fast when the door closed with a loud bang.

    She picked up a jacket and her purse before leaving the room..

    .

    Allison marched her way to the suite where Liam was having his meeting. She narrowed her gaze at the guards who were not letting her in.

    ¡°sorry miss you can¡¯t go in, that¡¯s the order¡± one of the guards said only to receive a sharp p from Allison.

    ¡°I¡¯m the soon to be Mrs of the Grayson¡¯s don¡¯t you dare go against my wish¡± sheshed out but to her surprise the guards bursted out intoughter.

    Allison¡¯s veins almost popped out of her neck, these measly guards were making jest of her.

    ¡°Soon to be.. not yet! step back miss or we will be forced to take actions against you¡±

    Allison¡¯s lips twitched, she was sure this was Liam¡¯s doing, he was doing everything he could do to humiliate her.

    ¡°Go in and tell your boss that I need to see him¡± Allison ordered.

    ¡°The boss gave us full authority to throw anyone who tries to cause a ruckus out of the hotel, please miss save yourself from the embarrassment¡±

    Chloe skipped her way out of the room, her smile turned into a frown on seeing who it was.

    Allison forced a smile at the little girl, even though they don¡¯t go along well with each other, Chloe was still her ticket of entering the suite now.

    ¡°Hello Chloe¡­

    Chloe narrowed her eyes at Allison ¡°Don¡¯t try to act sweet with me¡­ and no! my big bro is busy please don¡¯te in and embarass him!¡±

    Allison¡¯s face turned red in anger, she red at the guards and then to Chloe.

    ¡°You all just mark my words! after I be the new Mrs of the house¡­ I will make you all eat dust especially you little girl!¡± Allison barked angrily.

    ¡°well you can only get married to my brother if I¡¯m dead!¡± Chloe replied back.

    Chloe turned to the guards ¡°Do you need an invitation to throw her out? do it already!¡± she ordered which they obliged to.

    Allison moved back when she saw the guardsing towards her.

    ¡°Good riddance!¡± Chloe murmured and went back into the room.

    Allison kicked the air as she was dragged out, they pushed her into an elevator and had a good timeughing at her..

    .

    Amelia spotted Aidan talking to a randomdy, it wasn¡¯t a new thing though.

    Sometimes whenever they go out together people stop by to admire him, he got all his features from his father so what more do people expect other than a dashing son.

    ¡°Aidan¡± Amelia called out, she saw him nced briefly at her before waving thedy goodbye.

    Aidan drew circles with his foot as his mum approached him.

    ¡°What were you discussing about with thatdy?¡± Amelia inquired.

    Aidan shrugged ¡°I¡¯m just looking for a new mum who will give me all the attention I need¡±

    Amelia chuckled ¡°What a silly little boy you are Aidan, you can only have one mum and that¡¯s me¡±

    She lifted him up and groaned slightly ¡°Oh goodness! your dad tries enough to lift you every now and then¡±

    ¡°Girls are weak¡­ while boys are strong¡­ by the way you can think of this as a gift from me to you¡­ not everyone is privileged to carry me around¡±

    Amelia gasped softly ¡°Where did you hear that from?¡±

    Aidan wiggled his brows ¡°That¡¯s a ridiculous question to ask mum.. I go to school so I learn new words everyday¡±

    Amelia touched the tip of his nose ¡°Now you have to be muted until I touch your nose once more¡±.

    Aidan giggled and wrapped his hands around Amelia¡¯s neck.

    At the same time different thoughts ran through Amelia¡¯s mind, everyday Aidan does or say things Liam once said to her.

 Chapter 143_ What a small world 2

    Liam returned home that night in deep thought, he couldn¡¯t get over the connection and feelings he felt when he saw that little boy.

    ¡°Liam¡± Brianna called out as she came down from the stairs, she could see the distress written all over his face.

    Liam jerked out of his thoughts and rested his gaze on his mum.

    ¡°Liam are you alright?¡± Brianna asked worriedly touching his forehead.

    Liam heaved a deep breath and shook his head, he led his mum to sit on the couch.

    ¡°I¡¯m not okay.. because I didn¡¯t speak to you all day¡±

    Brianna sighed in relief, she ran her fingers through his jet ck hair. ¡°Hmm.. I can feel something else is wrong with you¡±

    ¡°I can tell you everything mum Brianna¡± Chloe who just came in said and walked to them.

    Brianna raised a brow and nodded her head for Chloe to go on.

    ¡°Big bro saw a little boy today who looks like him and even more handsome than he is¡­ that¡¯s why he has been sulking all day long¡±

    Liam narrowed his eyes at the bber mouth Chloe, she had the ability to read him thoroughly.

    Brianna had a surprise look on her face ¡°A boy who looks like Liam? so what¡¯s wrong about that? everyone has a doppelganger¡±

    Liam pinched the space between his brows and sighed¡­. this little girl will be the end of him one of these days¡­

    ¡°Chloe what made you think that way? didn¡¯t you see his dad at the hotel?¡± Liam hissed out in irritation.

    ¡°just admit that you are jealous over little Aidan, he has the looks more than you¡± Chloe said with her tongue sticking out.

    Brianna chuckled these two half siblings had a unique bond between them. Whenever they argue about little things she can¡¯t help butugh out.

    ¡°Mum I will be in my room¡­ this girl is driving me nuts¡± Liam murmured and left for his room..

    .

    Amelia sighed for the umpteenth time in a single minute, they were currently in the elementary school where Aidan was enrolled at but he has refused to step out of the car.

    ¡°Come on baby.. mummy will bete for her shoot¡± Amelia cooed which fell on deaf ears.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to study here, I love my old school better!¡± he strongly protested.

    Amelia adjusted his cor a bit and helped him out of the car.

    ¡°I promise you that you would love it here¡±

    Aidan pouted his lips ¡°You promise?¡±

    Amelia nodded and raised her pinky finger ¡°I pinky promise you.. now let¡¯s get you going¡±

    Amelia waved at Aidan as he went into the ssroom with the other kids.. she sighed in relief that she was able to convince him.

    She got into the car and signalled her driver to move, her photo shoot starts in twenty minutes.

    As soon as Amelia¡¯s car left, another car drove in, one of the guards in ck came out and opened the door.

    Chloe stepped out followed by Liam, she nced up at him with a raised brow.

    ¡°Do you want to learn also big bro?¡± She asked with a teasing smile.

    ¡°And what if I say yes?¡± Liam questioned back to see her shrug.

    ¡°I have to be in a meeting now bye!¡± he waved at her..

    .

    ¡°Mrs Miller!¡±

    Amelia turned to the direction of the voice, she smiled when she saw her manager approaching.

    ¡°You have a guest waiting for you¡± Her manager announced.

    Amelia furrowed her brows slightly confused, she just arrived at the city yesterday so who would possibly want to see her now?

    ¡°A guest?¡± she asked just to be sure or else she was hearing things now..

    Amelia followed her manager till they got to a closed door¡­ which happens to be her dressing room.

    She stared briefly at her manager then to the closed door..

    ¡°Okay thank you¡±

    She pushed the door open and stepped into the room¡­

    She saw a lean figure peering at the vanity table which contained all her makeup.

    ¡°Excuse me!¡±

    On hearing her voice, the person moved and turned to her with a smile.

    ¡°Wow!¡­.. What a small world Amelia¡±

    Amelia gasped out in surprise as she approached him.. ¡°Kelvin?¡±

    Kelvin shed her a toothy smile which brightened his face.

    Amelia took notice of his more matured looks and style.

    They exchanged brief handshake with a never ending smile on their faces.

    ¡°So you are Mrs Miller now?¡± he asked in a low tone.

    ¡°Yeah I am¡± Her voice came out more like a whisper.

    Kelvin raised a brow, it was obvious that he was confused, thest time he checked she was Mrs Grayson.

    After theunching of their movie he never saw her again and when he had tried to find out about her whereabout on social media he came to a dead end.

    ¡°Did you run away or something? because it seemed to me like you were not in the city¡­ I searched for you and I even asked about you from Mr Grayson¡­.

    Amelia snapped her gaze towards him as soon as Liam¡¯s name was mentioned¡­ she could imagine how he would have reacted to Kelvin¡¯s question.

    ¡°How did you find out that I¡¯m back in the city?¡± Amelia questioned trying to divert the topic.

    She was not yet ready to tell anyone about her ordeal with Liam.

    Kelvin shrugged his shoulders ¡°I have my ways¡­. it¡¯s a good thing that you were the model contracted for my cosmetics products¡±

    Amelia¡¯s lips parted in surprise ¡°How am I knowing about this now?¡±

    Kelvin narrowed his eyes at her ¡°I feel like there¡¯s a lot more that we need to discuss¡­.¡±

    ..

    Jason ced both palm on his tighs, he felt like Liam was interrogating him more than necessary.

    ¡°Okay I think we can have the remaining discussion at your home tonight¡± Liam suggested which Jason agreed to almost immediately.

    ¡°Mr Grayson it would be a honour but sadly we are currently staying at an hotel¡­ our house is under renovation..¡± Jason exined.

    Liam nodded in understanding, he handed Jason a blue colored file.

    ¡°we can meet at a restaurant and you can bring your fiancee also, so that we can get acquainted¡±

    Liam forced a smile at Jason but deep down he hated the fact that the world knows Allison as his fiancee ¡°that works too¡­.¡±

    Jason rose up from his seat and stretched out his hand towards Liam who epted it without hesitation.

    ¡°It was nice doing business with you Mr Grayson¡± Jason added and left the office.

    Liam stared at the closed door and sighed, he was upset with the fact that Allison would have to appear with him tonight.

    He pulled out his phone and hesitated for a while before cing it to his ear.

    ¡°get yourself a new dress, we are going out for dinner tonight¡± Liam said which sounded like an order.

    Without waiting for her response, he hung up the call and ced his phone harshly on his desk.

    Meanwhile at the other end¡­.

    Allison squealed out in excitement, she ran to her mirror and stared at her reflection.

    ¡°He finally wants to spend sometime with me! oh my gosh¡­.. what if he has actually developed feelings for me?¡± she ced her palm over her mouth.

    Since Liam has called her out for a dinner date, she would make sure to be her best for tonight¡¯s dinner.

    Allison picked up her phone and tapped on it several times before raising it to her ear.

    ¡°Hey Winnie! sorry I can¡¯t hang out with you tonight, Liam just asked me out on an official date¡­ I think he wants to confess his feelings to me¡­ I knew he was just pretending to be harsh on me¡­.. I¡¯m so excited and I can¡¯t wait for tonight!!¡±

 Chapter 144_ Those memories 1

    Amelia hurried out of the car, she arrived a little bitter at Aidan¡¯s new school because of the traffic jam.

    She noticed most parents were already with their kids.. she didn¡¯t have to search too far before she spotted him sitting on a bench with a girl who was endlessly talking to him.

    She smiled in relief, her baby boy already had a friend on his first day in his new school.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    Aidan had a certain urge to mp the bbering girl¡¯s mouth with a peg. He simply nodded to everything she said to him.

    His gaze trailed off and that was when he noticed his mum..

    ¡°Mummy!¡± he called out and took to his heels, he jumped into Amelia¡¯s opened arms and nted endless pecks on her cheeks.

    ¡°Aidan what is this now? did you miss me that much?¡± she asked in between smallughs.

    ¡°More than you can imagine¡± he giggled.

    Amelia¡¯s gaze returned to the girl who was ogling at them with a small smile on her lips.

    ¡°Hi¡± Amelia waved at her.

    The girl walked towards the mother and son stretching forth her hand.

    ¡°I¡¯m Nora nice to meet you Aidan¡¯s mum¡±

    Amelia was awed at her bold attitude which reminded her of her younger self.

    Aidan had a frown on his face, he doesn¡¯t like it when other kids makes friend with his mum.. she was his alone.

    ¡°You also have a mummy right? go and make friends with her and leave my mummy alone!¡±

    Amelia mped his mouth shut with her palm, she knew how possessive he was over her.

    She pulled Nora¡¯s chin ¡°Don¡¯t listen to what this naughty Aidan says I¡¯m also your friend but where is your mum?¡±

    Nora¡¯s face lit up ¡°Mum!¡± She dashed off to thedy standing a few feet away from them.

    ¡°Haven¡¯t I warned you not to talk with strangers?¡± Louisa scolded pulling Nora¡¯s chin affectionately.

    ¡°She is my new friend¡¯s mum¡±

    Louisa took a nce at thedy having a hearty chat with her son.

    Her brows drew together at the familiar sight, she gently took Nora¡¯s hands in hers and walked slowly towards Amelia.

    ¡°Excuse me¡± Louisa called out, Amelia turned to thedy seeking her attention with a smile.

    The smile on Amelia¡¯s face froze as she stared at her Louisa.

    ¡°Amy?¡± Louisa called out in surprise and shock like she had seen a ghost.

    They both engulfed themselves in a tight embrace that wasn¡¯t ending anytime soon.

    Aidan and Nora exchanged brief nces ¡°Yay! our mums know each other¡± Nora eximed which Aidan didn¡¯t find interesting one bit.

    Louisa and Amelia pulled away from each other with tears in their eyes.

    ¡°Where on earth did you run off to? we searched every where for you¡±

    Amelia wiped her tears with the back of her palm ¡°I will exin everything to youter Lou¡­. but please you have to promise me that you won¡¯t tell anyone about our encounter or that I¡¯m in the city¡±

    Louisa nodded her head in understanding, her eyes darted to Aidan who was standing next to her.

    ¡°Is he you and Liam¡¯s son?¡± she didn¡¯t need any DNA test to tell her whose child Aidan was, it was clear enough.

    ¡°No! he is not!¡±

    Amelia fondled with her purse and brought out a card, she ced it on Louisa¡¯s palm and hurriedly walked away with Aidan.

    ¡°Amelia wait!¡±

    Amelia entered her car and drove off, she didn¡¯t want anyone asking her questions concerning her son.

    Aidan was she and Jason¡¯s son and that is that!¡­

    .

    Allison twirled in front of her mirror, she had spent most of her time today at the spa because she wanted to look pretty for liam..

    ¡°Oh girly you are looking all pretty!¡± she murmured to herself.

    There was a small rasp on her door which interrupted her moment of admiration.

    ¡°Young miss the chauffeur is here¡± the servant announced.

    Allison gasped and wore her ck heels to match with her red dinner gown.

    She wanted tonight to be so memorable for her that was the reason she spent so much to take care of her skin.

    She hurried out of her room and out of the house, she saw the ck car waiting for her.

    Allison fixed her hair and got into the car but to her surprise Liam was not in the car.

    Her eyes zed in anger, she reverted her gaze to the chauffeur.

    ¡°Where is my date?¡± Allison barked out loud.

    ¡°I¡¯m here to drop you off at the designated location¡­ I know nothing about your date¡±

    Allison took in a deep breath, she imagined a million more reasons why Liam couldn¡¯t pick her up himself.

    ¡°Who knows.. he might be nning a romantic date for me¡± she blushed hard at the thought.

    The car pulled in front of a hotel, she also noticed this was the same hotel Liam¡¯s guards threw her out of.

    The chauffeur stepped out and opened the door for her with a bow¡­

    Allison had a million thoughts running through her mind as to why Liam chose a hotel instead of a five star restaurant¡­

    ¡°Does Liam want to take our rtionship to the next stage? that could be a possibility too¡± her cheeks flushed crimson red at the naughty thoughts that crept into her head.

    Her phone rang out, she smiled seeing as the caller was Liam.

    ¡°Hi¡±

    ¡°Room 503¡± his reply came out short with no hint of emotion.

    Allison stared at her phone for some seconds, his tone doesn¡¯t sound like he was going to profess his love for her or something.

    Without wasting anymore time, she found her way to the elevator.

    In less than five minutes, she stood in front of room 503 blushing hard at what might happen if she stayed in the room together with Liam¡­

    The door opened to reveal Liam, he massaged his nape staring at the weird look on Allison¡¯s face¡­

    He cleared his throat which brought her out of her daydream.

    Allison stared down at her feet biting her bottom lips.

    ¡°Liam¡­ I can¡¯t believe that you want to actually take our rtionship to the next level¡­ If you know what I mean¡­. I¡¯ve been waiting for this day for a while also¡­¡±

    Liam arched a brow at her and walked past her ¡°Foolish!¡± he murmured which she heard loud and clear.

    Allison¡¯s face paled, has she been imagining things? why else did he call her over here if not to spend some time with her?

    ¡°Liam wait!¡±

    She called out but it fell on deaf ears as his footsteps fastened a bit..

    .

    They got into the elevator with a few other people, the doors were about to close when a foot was ced in between the closing doors.

    ¡°Jason you¡¯ll hurt yourself!¡±

    Liam¡¯s face freezed as he heard the familiar voice.

    The elevator opened up again, Jason took Aidan¡¯s hand guilding him in followed by Amelia.

    ¡°Mummy don¡¯t worry about daddy¡­ he is a superman just like he ims to be!¡±

    The family of three failed to notice the two who were frozen with shock at their back.

    Liam stared at Amelia¡¯s familiar back and then to Aidan.

    The doors opened once more, Aidan was the first to step out followed by his parents.

    Liam came out of his daze and hurried out of the elevator..

    ¡°Amelia!¡±

 Chapter 145_ Those memories 2

    Allison pulled the dazed Liam back into the elevator, her head was in chaos right now.

    Just why would that stupid actresse back now? just when her wedding to Liam was just a few weeks away.

    Amelia stared down the hallway, she thought she heard her name.

    Jason nudged her back forward ¡°Let¡¯s get going you don¡¯t want to keep them waiting¡±

    ..All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.

    Liam pulled Allison¡¯s hand roughly from his arm ¡°Don¡¯t touch me anymore!¡± he barked out loud.

    Allison furrowed her brows ¡°Don¡¯t speak to me in that tone Liam! are you upset because she is back? or because she is with another man?¡±

    Liam grasped Allison¡¯s chin ¡°One more word and I will make you smell death!¡±

    He threatened her and followed the direction of where Jason went with Amelia.

    Allison threw her purse harshly on the ground ¡°Why do you have toe back now?! you¡¯ve tormented me so much¡­. just why??¡±

    Jason pulled out a seat for Amelia to sit on in the restaurant before taking a sit beside her.

    ¡°Mummy can we visit the park this weekend?¡±

    Amelia picked up the menu going through it ¡°Ask your dad if he will be there, you know I can make time to keep youpany¡±

    Jason narrowed his gaze at Amelia ¡°So you are saying that I don¡¯t make time for you both?¡±

    ¡°Yes! you make excuses every single time only mummy spends time with me!¡±

    Jason nced briefly at Amelia who shrugged ¡°He is not wrong¡±

    Aidan giggled on seeing Jason¡¯s pouted lips ¡°Mummy doesn¡¯t he look like Mr sleepy?¡±

    Meanwhile¡­.

    Liam¡¯s hand clenched into a tight fist, he has been observing the three for a while now who were chatting away happily.

    Jason¡¯s gaze rested on Liam who was a few steps behind Amelia.

    ¡°Mr Grayson¡­¡±

    ¡°Handsome uncle¡± Aidan called out.

    Blood drained off Amelia¡¯s face when she heard the name which she has been scared to hear for a long time.

    Liam walked around the table and sat opposite Amelia with Allison by his side.

    Amelia¡¯s head slowly raised up to meet his killer gray orbs peering at her in shock, surprise and anger.

    Jason touched Amelia¡¯s folded hands on the table and smiled at Liam.

    ¡°Mr Grayson¡­ meet my wife Amelia Miller and our bundle of joy Aidan¡±

    Allison sighed in relief at least she was married but this boy¡­ this little boy had a striking resemnce to Liam.

    Amelia¡¯s heart beat increased as she saw Liam¡¯s hand stretched out in front of her, he had a sly grin on his lips which further added to her increasing heartbeat.

    ¡°it¡¯s nice to finally meet you Mrs Miller¡± Liam uttered with clenched teeth..

    Amelia epted his handshake, a gasp escaped her lips as his hand tightened on hers.

    Liam released his grip on her hands and took Allison¡¯s hand in his.

    ¡°And this is Allison¡­ my soon to be wife¡±

    Amelia darted her eyes away from him, Allison was on cloud nine, Liam finally epted her in front of this b*tch!.

    Jason noticed Amelia¡¯s uneasiness, he leaned forward and whispered some words into her ears which she nodded to.

    ¡°Mummy I told you that I saw big me but you didn¡¯t believe me¡­ now see for yourself¡±

    Amelia panicked and sprang up to her feet ¡°Jason I will be back!¡± She hurriedly said and dashed out.

    Jason¡¯s grey orbs rested on Aidan then to Liam, now when he thought of it¡­ there was a striking resemnce between them which cannot be ignored.

    ¡°See daddy? I told you and mummy that I¡¯m a superstar¡­ isn¡¯t that right handsome uncle?¡±

    Liam nodded and picked his phone ¡± I have to make an important call excuse me¡±

    ..

    Amelia sshed more water on her face as she stared at her reflection.

    Seeing Liam agained stirred up all those memories and emotions that she had been suppressing for years.

    The door closed behind her with a bang which jolted her, she turned swiftly to check who it was only to be cornered by Liam.

    His grey orbs stared into her hazel ones trying to read them.

    ¡°What are you doing here?¡­ this is the female¡¯s restroom¡­ leave or else I will scream¡±

    Liam¡¯s expression remained the same, ¡°Then do it!¡± His voice came out in a low growl.

    Amelia swallowed hard, she didn¡¯t imagine that Liam would shamelessly follow her here.

    ¡°You had the nerves to actually get married and live happily after ruining my life?!¡±

    ¡°I ruined your life? in what sense exactly? you were the one who chased me out of your life¡­.

    Liam grabbed her chin squeezing it harshly ¡°Say that one more time! I had to cut you out since you turned out to be a crook, you knew about the feud going on between Nichs and I, and yet you were having an affair with him!¡±

    Amelia pushed Liam a little away from her ¡°Your mentality hasn¡¯t changed a bit throughout the years that passed by¡­. yourck of trust towards me caused everything¡±

    Liam peered down at her ¡°That Aidan is our son isn¡¯t he?¡±

    ¡°No he is not!¡±

    Liam¡¯s hands went round her waist pulling her closer to him..

    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare lie to me! tell me the truth!¡±

    Amelia smirked ¡°You want the truth? then listen to me¡­ Aidan is I and Jason¡¯s biological son¡­¡±

    Liam moved back from her, she has changed¡­ perhaps the years they were apart has changed her a lot..

    He punched the wall in annoyance, She actually got married and had a child while he remained alone all these years..

    ¡°You are lying to me! that boy has my features¡±

    ¡°Your features? as in your hair color and texture and his eyes? but Jason has all those features as well does that make jason your brother?¡± Amelia retorted.

    He watched her storm out in anger and groaned out loud.

    Amelia returned back to the restaurant, she picked her purse and pulled Aidan down from his seat.

    ¡°Jason Aidan and i have to leave now something urgent just came up see you at the hotel¡±

    Amelia turned around to leave and at the same time Liam came in, she reverted her gaze away from him and walked past him with Aidan.

    Liam returned back to his seat, he had a foul look on his face which Allison understood.

    They must have had an argument or so but whatever it was she was happy that Amelia won¡¯t be an hindrance to her since she was married to this Jason guy..

    .

    Anthony pulled a seat out for Cecile in the dining which she tantly declined, she helped herself to a seat next to Karl and his pregnant wife ra.

    Anthony had been trying his best for some months now to win her over.

    ¡°Mum Cecile you are being too harsh on dad¡± Karl said with a sigh.

    Cecile arched a brow at him ¡°Being too harsh? on what grounds exactly? haven¡¯t I told him that I¡¯m not interested in him anymore?¡­¡±

    Anthony sighed, he knew Cecile was still upset with him over what happened in the past¡­ he reached for her hand on the table which she retracted as soon as he touched her.

    ra smiled at Cecile¡¯s childish behavior ¡°Mum Cecile is trying to act hard to get¡­¡± she jested which the rest found funny except Cecile.

    ¡°Amelia won¡¯t be happy if she finds out that you are refusing to ept me back¡±

    Cecile dropped her cutlery ¡°And that¡¯s why she is your daughter, you both never keep to your words and promises! she has been gone for years and she didn¡¯t bother to call or check up on me¡±

    ¡°Everyday we get to witness a childish part of you mum¡­ you both can take your bantering elsewhere.. you don¡¯t want to wake up my baby¡±

    Karl murmured while running his palm on ra¡¯s baby bump.

    Cecile picked up her phone when she saw Louisa¡¯s name on her screen.

    ¡°Yes Louisa¡­ how are you dear?¡±

    ¡°Amelia is back in the city Aunt!¡±

 Chapter 146_ He is my son!

    Jason stared at Amelia¡¯s back as she blow dried her hair.

    ¡°Is everything alright Jason?¡± She asked worriedly.

    ¡°Mr Grayson is your ex husband am I right?¡± he asked with certainty.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    Apart from the striking resemnce between Liam and Aidan, he noticed how Amelia and Liam were behaving at the table a while ago.

    Amelia dropped her hairdryer on the table and turned to Jason with a creased brow.

    ¡°What makes you say so?¡±

    Jason sighed, his gaze rested on Aidan¡¯s sleeping face before he returned his gaze to Amelia.

    ¡°I¡¯m not a fool Amelia¡­ when will you pour out everything to me? it¡¯s been five years already!¡±

    Amelia stood up from her seat, she noticed his eyes was getting red by the minute..

    She walked towards a drawer and pulled out a tiny white bottle.

    ¡°Yes he is¡±

    Jason sat back down while she raised his head backwards. She pressed the eye drops gently into his eyes.

    ¡°Does it still itch?¡±

    ¡°Hmm¡­ not as much as before¡± he replied back with a small nod..

    Amelia ced the small container back into the drawer.

    ¡°It all started with a one night stand¡­..

    Jason sighed at the end of her narration, he could almost feel what she must be passing through at the moment.

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry to hear that¡±.

    Amelia chuckled, she never regretted meeting Liam he was one of the best things that ever happened in her life.

    ¡°But what shocks me the most is why Liam wants to get married to Allison¡­ he hates thatdy so much!¡±

    ¡°Time changes everything Amelia¡­ maybe he eventually fell for her during your absence who knows?¡­ do you still love him?¡±

    Amelia snapped her head to Jason, does she still love Liam? was there ever a time she forgot about him? Aidan was always around her to constantly remind her of Liam.

    ¡°No matter what your decision is Amelia¡­ just know that I will always support you¡±.

    Amelia smiled at him, he has been a good man from day one when she met him¡­.

    .

    Liam returned home in anger, he pulled off his neck tie and threw it across the room..

    Allison came in closely followed by Brianna, they were a bit worried.

    ¡°Dear are you okay?¡± Brianna asked worriedly as she touched his arm.

    Allison snorted ¡°How can he possibly be okay? your favorite and wless ex daughter inw has returned back to the city!¡±

    Brianna gasped softly, if Amelia was back so why was Liam this mad?

    ¡°Liam I thought you said you werepletely over her¡­ why are you looking all down like she still mean a lot to you?¡±

    ¡°Well that changed when I knew that I have a son with Amelia!¡±

    Brianna was taken aback by his tone and also his words¡­

    Allison rolled her eyes at Liam words ¡°A son? just because he has the same features with you doesn¡¯t make him your son Liam!¡±

    ¡°Stay quiet!¡± Liam warned.

    Allison folded her arm and tilted her head to the side ¡°And why should I? don¡¯t forget that Nichs also has the same features as you Liam and as for Amelia¡¯s new husband¡­ Aidan definitely has the same features as him!¡±

    Liam digested Allison¡¯s words but he still had a feeling that Aidan was truly his own flesh and blood.

    ¡°He is my son!¡±

    ¡°Amelia had an affair with Nichs when she was still with you¡­ maybe Aidan is the product of that affair or perhaps Jason is really Aidan¡¯s father!¡±

    Liam pointed at the closed door ¡°Get out this minute!¡±

    Allison hissed in anger and stormed out of the room, she wasn¡¯t willing to stay here either, she smiled at mark who was standing by the corridor and left the building.

    ¡°Liam please think with a cool head¡­ if he really is your son.. do everything you can to bring him back home with you¡±

    ¡°And Amelia?¡±

    Both mother and son snapped their gaze to mark who was standing at the corridor.

    Mark stepped into Liam¡¯s room ¡°What will happen to Amelia? do you think that she will just sit back and watch you take her child away from her?¡±

    ¡°Dad you don¡¯t understand what I¡¯m trying to say¡­.

    Mark raised his hand to stop Liam from speaking. ¡°You were wrong Liam! you were wrong when you didn¡¯t trust your wife enough to see that she was innocent all these while¡­. did you ever find out what really happened that day?

    ¡°Dad I¡­.

    ¡°Not now Liam! think with a calm mind¡­ and you will see everything crystal clear!¡±

    He turned briefly to Brianna ¡°I can¡¯t believe that you were actually advising our son to take Amelia¡¯s child away from her¡­ don¡¯t you know the feeling of being separated from your child?¡± Mark asked in disbelief..

    .

    Mr Williams and Fred sat up as soon as Allison angrily walked past them..

    ¡°Ally¡± her dad called out to her.

    Allison turned to them with a cold re, she wasn¡¯t in the mood to say anything to anyone.

    ¡°Is something wrong?¡± Fred asked.

    Allison walked towards them and sighed ¡°Well I have some good news for you both!¡­. the Amelia who you imed to have killed years ago is back with Liam¡¯s son!¡±

    Fred exchanged gazes with his dad, was that even possible?

    ¡°What? are you even sure of what you are saying?¡±

    Allison pulled off her heels and kicked them away ¡°I had dinner with her is that more believable?¡±

    Fred leaned forward to his dad ¡°I think she has lost her mind, she¡¯s iming to have had dinner with Amelia¡± Fred jested.

    Allison¡¯s lips fell apart, she saw the sides of their lips pulled upwards into a grin.

    ¡°Do you think that I¡¯ve lost my mind? the truth is she was never dead in the first ce! and now that she has a son for Liam I doubt if he would ever get married to me!¡±

    The mayor¡¯s face turned serious, looking at her expression he didn¡¯t find her words as a lie. ¡°Are you serious?¡±

    Allison opened her palms in surprise ¡°You didn¡¯t actually believe what I was saying all these while? thanks a lot for ruining my mood even more!¡±

    ..

    Ameliaid beside Aidan on the huge bed in the room, she watched his sleeping face for a while and couldn¡¯t help but caress it.

    ¡°Baby has anyone ever told you that you look handsome while you are asleep?¡­ I won¡¯t let anyone take you away from me alright? you are only my child and no one else¡¯s!¡± she whispered nting kisses on his cheeks.

    Aidan stirred on the bed and ced his head on Amelia¡¯s arm..

    ¡°Mummy¡­¡±

    Amelia gasped in surprise, how long has he been awake?

    ¡°You are awake?¡±

    Aidan hummed in reply with his eyes still closed ¡°Who is Liam?¡±

    Amelia¡¯s face turned pale, she stroked his hair gently. ¡°I have no idea¡±

    Aidan opened his eyes slowly ¡°Telling lies is bad remember? I¡¯ve seen you write his name out whenever you help me with my homework¡±

    Amelia smiled ¡°Oh that!¡­.. it¡¯s your dad¡¯s other name¡­¡±

    Aidan closed his eyes again and slowly drifted into sleep.

    ¡°Goodnight honey, sweet dreams too¡± She whispered into his ears before turning off the lights.

    She fell into a deep thought, her son was a smarty pants just like his father¡­. he has started suspecting her too..

 Chapter 147_ The truth 1

    Liam¡¯s car stopped in front of Chloe¡¯s elementary school, he waved her good bye after she hopped down from the car.

    ¡°Make sure to keep the school secure and safe¡± he said briefly to the guards who were in charge of Chloe¡¯s protection.

    He saw another car drive into the school premises, Amelia stepped out with Aidan.

    Liam¡¯s once fallen expression was lifted within seconds.

    Chloe bumped into Amelia¡¯s body and groaned out ¡°Excuse me miss!¡±

    Amelia turned to the girl who was behind her ¡°I¡¯m so sorry dear¡­¡±

    Chloe¡¯s jaw dropped in shock and disbelief, she blinked her eyes multiple times to check if she was still seeing things.

    ¡°Big sis?¡±

    Amelia raised a brow, till a gasp escape her lips ¡°Chloe¡±

    Aidan frowned, everybody wants to make friends with his mummy even this girl too.

    Chloe held unto Amelia¡¯s waist tightly refusing to let go..

    ¡°I¡¯m so upset with you big sis¡­ you promised me that you will be back but you never came back¡± Chloe cried out.

    Amelia touched Chloe¡¯s face wiping the tears that stained her cheeks. ¡°Chloe.. you¡¯ve grown really fast¡­ I can¡¯t believe that this is my little troublemaker¡±

    Aidan coughed out ¡°I¡¯m your little troublemaker remember?¡±

    Chloe took notice of the boy who she met at the hotel.. she didn¡¯t need anyone to exin anything to her.

    Liam leaned back on the seat as he watched them from a distance.

    ¡°You can move now¡± he murmured to the driver, could he have made a mistake about Amelia?

    ..

    Amelia walked into the restaurant where Louisa had called for them to meet up¡­

    She walked into the restaurant and noticed no one was in there¡­

    She heard the slow steps behind her, Amelia turned only to receive an unexpected p¡­

    She took a look at the person and she met with her mother¡¯s burning gaze.

    ¡°Mum?¡­..

    Louisa stepped in also and made an apologetic look at her.

    Amelia gasped for breathe when Cecile engulfed her into a tight embrace¡­

    ¡°Stupid girl! do you know how upset I am with you?¡±

    The dam in her eyes broke open as tears flowed down from her eyes¡­.

    Cecile pulled away and stared at Amelia in disbelief¡­

    ¡°Amy.. are you crazy? you left without even seeing me first?¡±

    Amelia led her mum to a seat ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to run away mum¡­ i had no other choice¡­ what was life when the people you love don¡¯t trust you at all?¡±

    Louisa bowed her head ¡°Amy I¡¯m sorry but I had to inform your mum about your arrival¡­ she was the most worried about you¡±

    Amelia nodded in understanding ¡°It¡¯s okay Lou¡­ I understand¡±

    ¡°Have you seen Liam?¡± Cecile asked with worried eyes.

    Amelia nodded her head ¡°Yes mum¡­ and he is still the same as always¡­ he wants everything to go his own way¡±

    Louisa took a seat next to Cecile, they both wanted to hear a side of Amelia¡¯s story before jumping into conclusion.

    ¡°Amelia what really happened that day? and what made you think that you can run off just like that?¡±

    Amelia swallowed hard as she recalled that awful day that ended the rtionship between she and Liam.

    Cecile and Louisa listened attentively to her with worry etched on their faces.

    Liam picked up the telephone that was beside him, he raised it to his ear.

    ¡°Hmm¡­ let her in¡±

    The door opened and Mrs Williams entered the office.

    Liam offered her a seat which she epted, he didn¡¯t have a problem with the mayor¡¯s wife because she appeared to be the only good soul in her family.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry foring unannounced.. I know that you are always busy¡­¡±

    ¡°Hit the nail on the head Mrs Williams¡± Liam said cutting her off.

    ¡°I¡¯m the most ashamed of my children and husband¡¯s behavior Mr Grayson¡­..

    Mrs Williams paused her speech when she took notice of the red light shing in her purse, she became alert her suspicion was true, they were keeping an eye on her and also monitoring her movement..

    She ced a finger on her lips as she brought out a white envelope from her purse..

    ¡°My daughter won¡¯t stay single forever I hope you know that?! so all that I¡¯m saying is for you to get married to her as soon as possible¡­ I already printed the invitation cards per the wedding date!¡±

    Liam raised a brow, why did she suddenly change her words?

    She casted him an apologetic look and raised her purse for him to see the red light shing, he scoffed at the mayor¡¯s foolishness..

    What was the use of all this? she pointed to the envelope on the table and mouthed some words to him¡­

    ¡°It contains the whole truth, please go through it¡± Liam murmured as he read her moving lips¡­

    ¡°you may leave now Mrs Williams, thanks for whatever this is¡± he murmured.

    Mrs Williams made a thumbs up to him and left his office..

    Liam¡¯s eyes travelled to the envelope on the desk, he took it and stared at it for a while wondering what truth it contains.

    He went through the scribbled notes for sometime, his eyes turned red in anger.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    With one swipe everything resting on his desk was thrown to the floor..

    .

    The mayor stood up as soon as he saw who just badged into his office and the amount of armed men who followed him in, he ced down the telephone and swallowed hard.

    ¡°Son inw what brings you here?¡± The mayor smiled but deep down he was worried and should he say scared?

    Liam pulled out a seat and sat down proudly with one of his legs over the other.

    ¡°Call the city council members and inform them of your resignation as the mayor!¡±

    The mayor¡¯s jaw dropped in shock, he wasn¡¯t ready to resign yet, so what was Liam talking about?

    ¡°What do you mean by that?! who are you to tell me what to do?¡± Mr Williams yelled out and rose to his feet, he red furiously at Liam who had a sly grin on his lips.

    Liam snapped his fingers and a guard stepped forward with aptop..

    A short clip was yed which showed Allison and Fred dangling over a hot boiling oil.

    The mayor¡¯s eyes widened as he stared at his children, he pointed to theptop ¡°What is the meaning of this Liam?¡±

    Liam¡¯s face remained indifferent ¡°Pick up your phone and call the city council concerning your resignation! or else your children gets fried like a chicken!¡±

    The mayor¡¯s hands shakingly reached for his phone, he tapped his hands on his phone for a while and brought his shaky hands to his ear.

    ¡°I¡¯m calling to inform you about my resignation from my current post as the mayor¡±

    Liam smiled I¡¯m victory and rose up to his feet.

    ¡°Liam let them go now¡­ they will get hurt so badly!¡± the mayor yelled out as he watched the ongoing clip which showed Fred and Allison crying out¡­

    Liam banged the desk with his hands ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have messed with me five years ago the way you did! You separated Amelia from me so that your daughter can get married to me, but guess what Mr mayor? I will make sure that your daughter remains single for the rest of her life!¡±

    ¡°And that goes for your son also!¡± he added.

    Liam made a hand gesture and in seconds the mayor was bundled up by some hefty men¡­.

    ¡°Take him away!¡± Liam ordered.

    ¡°Liam you are making a mistake! don¡¯t do anything foolish¡­¡±

    Liam hummed in reply and rolled up his sleeves, the mayor and his children has been taken care of¡­ now it¡¯s time he pays a visit to his old man, the real mastermind and the one who nned out everything¡­

    ¡°Old Grayson!¡± Liam muttered through clenched teeth.

 Chapter 148_ The truth 2

    Old Grayson¡¯s eyes snapped open when he heard footsteps approaching his room¡­

    His eyes widened when he saw his grandson standing next to his bed..

    ¡°Long time no see grandfather!¡± Liam murmured, he walked next to the bed and touched old Grayson¡¯s legs.

    ¡°I bet if I stab your legs a thousand time, you won¡¯t feel any pain¡±

    ¡°W.. what¡­ are.. you doing in here?!¡± He panicked looking for anything in sight to grab for defense.

    He knew Liam was here to harm him or make him suffer¡­

    ¡°Don¡¯t feel scared grand father¡­ I¡¯m not here to harm you okay?¡± Liam said in a calm voice which made old Grayson even more anxious and scared¡­

    Liam rose to his feet with a sinister smile on his lips ¡°I came here to have a word with you¡±

    Old Grayson tried to reach for his bedside button but Liam beat him to it..

    ¡°Save your energy forter¡­. no one will being forth even though you hit the button a million times!¡±

    Liam pulled out his phone from his pocket and showed a clip to his grandfather¡­.

    ¡°This was a shocker to me too grandfather¡­ I never knew you dealt in drugs and arms & ammunition, this was recovered by the government earlier today¡­ do you know your punishment?¡±

    Liam smiled in satisfaction seeing the tense look on old Grayson¡¯s face. He yed another clip and presented in front of old Grayson.

    ¡°As you can see¡­ your best friend is there too.. the ex mayor, you both embezzled public funds for your selfish interest¡­ the court will definitely give you a life sentence¡­ or wait a minute!¡±

    Liam brought out a white colored envelope from his inner pocket and opened it¡­

    ¡°This contains all the evidence against you about how you brutally murdered your wife in cold blood and for attempted murder ofdy Brianna Grayson¡­.e on grandfather you will definitely get a death sentence¡±

    Old Grayson¡¯s breathing became unstable, he gasped in and out for air..

    Liam¡¯s eyes turned bloodshot ¡°Your evil ways are over grand father¡­¡±

    Liam murmured to see old Grayson close his eyes and remained still¡­.

    .

    Amelia creased her brow as a car stopped in front of her car, blocking her path..This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    She gawked at the expensive car and the ones tailing behind it and frowned.

    She knew one man who could be bold enough to stop her movement..

    And she was right, she watched a guard run out and opened the back seat door.

    Amelia took in a deep breath beforeing out of her car, she stood akimbo ring at him while he walked slowly to her.

    ¡°Take your car off the road! just because you are wealthy doesn¡¯t mean you can turn the road to yourfort zone!¡± Ameliashed out angrily.

    Liam ced both hands in his pocket as he stood before her. ¡°I was about to say the same thing to you too¡±

    Amelia arched a brow, thest thing she wanted to do was to speak to him.

    ¡°Listen to me Mr Arrogant¡­.

    She cleared her throat ¡°I meant Liam Grayson take your car off the road I¡¯m runningte for a meeting!¡±

    ¡°Why did you stop yourself? go on! call me what you feel isfortable with you.. I¡¯ve been yearning to hear you call me that for years¡±

    Amelia furrowed her brows, what was he talking about? yearning to hear her voice?

    ¡°Don¡¯t bring our past here! the past is the past! learn to move on!¡±

    Liam closed the gap between them and wrapped his hands around her waist giving her no space for a fit..

    ¡°You¡¯ve managed to move on but I¡¯m still stuck in the past.. our past.. i realized that I was wrong.. I misjudged your character¡±

    Amelia wriggled trying to get out of his grip but he wasn¡¯t willing to let go..

    ¡°Let go of me Liam¡­ I¡¯m someone¡¯s wife.. you have no right to touch me¡±

    Liam ced a palm over her mouth ¡°You are no one¡¯s wife! I¡¯ve punished those who messed with us.. now we can start our lives afresh¡±

    Amelia pushed his chest and stepped out of his grip..

    ¡°You must be mistaken Liam Grayson! I should leave my husband and son to be with you? that is never possible¡­ I love my new family and I don¡¯t want it to end like the old one.. so I¡¯m suggesting you stay far away from me!¡±

    Liam grabbed her wrist and yanked her back in his arms..

    ¡°You and I know who Aidan¡¯s real father is! do you n on keeping him away from me as well?¡±

    Amelia quivered under his scrutinizing gaze ¡°You want to know who Aidan¡¯s father is? then I will show you!¡±

    She pulled away from him and walked back to the car and came back with a white envelope.

    She grabbed his palm and ced the envelope harshly on it. ¡°Because of your ims I did a DNA test to show you who Aidan¡¯s real father is¡­ now it¡¯s in your hands!¡±

    Liam stared down at the envelope and tore it open, he pulled out the white sheet and scanned it for a while with creased brows.

    ¡°This is not true Amelia!¡­. I know you well enough.. you can¡¯t possibly do this!¡±

    Amelia smirked ¡°you know me well? but you couldn¡¯t trust me all those years ago, I¡¯m sure you know the truth now, stay far away from my son and I.. you are not weed anywhere near us!¡±

    She mumbled irritably and walked back to her car, she reversed back to follow another route.

    Liam crushed the paper in his hands, he stared at the back of her moving car and yelled out in frustration.

    ¡°This is a lie!!¡±

    ..

    Steven and James sighed as they stared at Liam¡¯s downcast expression, after learning about his ordeal with Amelia, they felt bad.

    ¡°Listen man¡­. Amelia is definitely angry with you, infact anyone in her ce is bound to be mad.. all you need to do is to give her time¡± James said with a sigh.

    Liam raised a brow at the two, since when do they start behaving mature?

    ¡°She has a son with that Jason guy¡­ it will be really hard for you to win her back Liam, she is already married to him¡± Steven added

    Liam tugged his neck tie in frustration, he didn¡¯t know what to believe anymore.. his mind was clouded..

    How could he have doubted her that way? when he knows fully well that their enemies were looking for ways toe in between them.

    Steven¡¯s brows drew together in surprise as he stared at his phone..

    ¡°Guys.. this just came in.. the mayor has resigned from his post and he is currently bankrupt¡±

    James frowned ¡°That doesn¡¯t make sense¡­ unless someone conspired against him¡± James said in betweenughs.

    His face suddenly turned serious, he exchanged brief gazes with Steven and then to Liam.

    Liam raised a brow seeing them stare at him in suspicion¡­

    He shrugged and threw his head backwards ¡°He deserved it¡­ I¡¯m still waiting for one more news though¡± Liammented nonchntly ignoring the surprised looks of his friends.

    The mayor and his family messed with him big time.. and he has punished them ordingly, the other news he was waiting for now, was that of his grand father¡­..

 Chapter 149_ Steps to win her back 1

    Chloe sat with Aidan on a bench, both waiting for their drivers toe pick them up.

    ¡°Can I ask you something Chloe?¡±

    Chloe gasped in surprise, he was finally interested in talking to her after all her attempts to strike up a conversation with him.

    ¡°Yes.. you can ask me¡± Chloe replied back in enthusiasm.

    ¡°How do you know my mummy?¡± Aidan asked looking at Chloe as if trying to read her mind.

    Chloe chuckled ¡°Awwnn¡­ cute! your mummy is also my mummy¡±

    Aidan frowned and shook his head ¡°No! my mummy is not yours okay? she is only mine¡± he said with a pouted lips.

    Chloeughed out at his outburst, she tapped his nose gently. ¡°you know? I was your mum¡¯s first little cutie and she loved me a lot¡­ so you see we are more like siblings¡±

    A car pulled over in front of them and red it¡¯s horn. ¡°My big bro is here¡­ your mum isn¡¯t here yet¡±

    Aidan looked around and sighed, he knew she must be on her way.

    Liam winded down the windshield, as he stared at the boy with Chloe¡­

    ¡°I will speak to youter¡± he murmured and ced his phone down.

    He stepped out of the ck colored car and walked towards them..

    ¡°Handsome uncle..¡± Aidan called out with a smile as Liam approached them..

    He creased his brow, that was a weird nickname to give, it seems it runs in the blood of the mother and son.

    ¡°Big bro.. I was just talking to Aidan about big sis, he seems so jealous of me¡±

    Liam returned his gaze back to the boy ¡°Of course he will be after all we both have some things inmon¡±

    Liam lifted Aidan in his arms ¡°Am I right Aidan?¡± he asked to receive a small nod from Aidan.

    Chloe turned to Liam ¡°Big bro can we take him home?¡±

    ..

    Amelia arrived at the kindergarten, she creased her brow as she didn¡¯t see Aidan in sight..

    She walked towards the bench he normally sits on while waiting for her..

    Ady approached her with a smile ¡°Hello Mrs Miller who are you here to see?¡±

    ¡°You are Aidan¡¯s ss teacher, I¡¯m here to pick him up.. I¡¯m sorry I came sote¡±

    Thedy opened her register and scrolled for Aidan¡¯s name¡­

    ¡°His dad picked him up today at exactly 2:30¡±

    Amelia sighed in relief and thanked the teacher before leaving..

    ¡°Jason can be so frustrating, why didn¡¯t he tell me? I will scold him so bad!¡± she murmured under her breathe.

    Jason excused himself from the meeting to answer Amelia¡¯s phone call.

    ¡°Hi¡­¡±

    ¡°Well Mr Miller didn¡¯t you think that it was necessary to inform me about you picking Aidan up from school today?¡±

    Jason chuckled at the other end ¡°Is this some kind of prank Amelia? I¡¯ve been stuck at the office for four hours now¡­ I didn¡¯t pick Aidan up from school¡±

    The smile on Amelia¡¯s face washed off, she sat up in the car.

    ¡°Are you serious?!¡±

    Jason heard the tension behind her voice and creased his brow in worry..

    ¡°Is everything okay?¡±

    ¡°Aidan¡¯s ss teacher just confirmed that you picked him up from school earlier today!¡±

    ..

    Brianna pointed at a dress in the magazine she was holding..

    ¡°honey isn¡¯t this pretty? I bet I will look younger wearing this¡±

    Mark sighed and took a look at the dress,¡±dear you look pretty in anything you wear.. ¡±

    ¡°Daddy!¡±

    Mark was caught off guard when she suddenlyunched herself into his arms..

    ¡°Hello mum Cecile¡±

    Mark and Cecile sighed in relief, she scared the hell out of them a while back.

    Chloe handed her backpack to the maid who stood beside her..

    ¡°Guess who came back with us today¡± Chloe asked gleefully.

    The couple exchanged looks and shrugged, who else could they expect anymore?¡­

    Liam walked hand in hand with Aidan, the smile on Cecile and mark¡¯s face freezed out of shock and disbelief¡­

    ¡°Aidan¡± Chloe said waving her hands by her side..

    Mark was the first toe out of the shock, he stood up from the sofa and walked towards Liam and the boy..

    ¡°Liam who is he?¡± Mark¡¯s hoarse voice came out as a whisper..

    Liam smiled at his dad ¡°Well this is Aidan¡­ Amelia¡¯s son¡±

    Brianna broke out of her reverie and stood up also ¡°Amelia¡¯s son? mark are you seeing what I am seeing? I ate too much that I¡¯m seeing things¡±

    Mark swallowed hard as he pointed at Aidan ¡°Liam this boy is the little version of you..¡±

    Liam sighed, he thought that was the case until he saw the DNA test report earlier today¡­

    Aidan creased his brows, his daddy¡¯s other name was Liam so why were they addressing handsome uncle as Liam?

    Brianna suddenly pulled Aidan into her arms kissing the life out of his cheeks..

    Mark turned to Liam ¡°Did you take him away from Amelia?¡±

    ¡°Nope he didn¡¯t, actually his mum didn¡¯te on time to pick him up so I asked big bro to drop him here¡± Chloe defended.

    Mark pinched the space between his brows in annoyance..

    ¡°Well Amelia will definitely interpret it the wrong way¡­ take him back to her¡±This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    Aidan clinged unto Liam¡¯s legs ¡°my mummy won¡¯t be mad if I spend some time with handsome uncle¡±

    ..

    Meanwhile

    Amelia drove roughly on the her way to her child¡¯s kidnapper.

    She knew only one person who has been eyeing Aidan for a while now..

    The guards opened the gate after hearing a familiar horn, without caution she drove into the premises making a screeching noise.

    She stepped out and those guards and servants who remembered her gaped in awe at their former young miss..

    She barged into the living room to find it empty, she looked around on noticing the changes made in what she once called a home..

    Amelia¡¯s eyes caught a glimpse of the tiny dog statue she tried to steal on her first day in this house¡­.

    Time flies so fast¡­ her reverie was cut short when she heard giggles and chucklesing from the rooms upstairs¡­ she also recognized it to be Aidan¡¯s voice..

    ¡°Liam Grayson!e out and show yourself to me!¡± she yelled out¡­

    Soon after she heard footsteps descending down the stairs¡­

    Liam met with her cold re, he nonchntly walked over to a couch and sat down proudly with one leg over the other which felt nostalgic to her.

    He had expected her arrival sooner orter and now that she was here¡­ it¡¯s drama time from the drama queen herself!

    ¡°What gave you the right to pick my son from school huh?!¡± she barked out folding her fist by her side..

    Liam smirked ¡°He gave his approval dear wifey¡±

    Amelia¡¯s ears turned red in anger ¡°Wifey? haven¡¯t I warned you to stay far away from my son and I?¡±

    Liam shrugged ¡°It¡¯s not like I¡¯m near you or something and before you me me for kidnapping your precious son.. I have two witnesses who can vouch for me¡±

    Amelia gritted her teeth in anger, she took fast steps towards him annoyance..

    ¡°Mummy¡­ you came¡± Aidan¡¯s voice made her stop on her tracks..

    ¡°Baby¡± Amelia reached out to him and pulled him into her arms..

    ¡°Geez why is everyone being so overly affectionate with me today?¡± Aidanined.

    Mark and Brianna came out after hearing a small noise¡­ they were shocked to the core on seeing Amelia in the living room.

    ¡°Amelia¡± mark called out softly¡­

    Amelia turned to them with a small smile ¡°Hello Mr and Mrs Grayson it¡¯s been so long.. nice to see you once again!¡±

    Brianna creased her brow, what¡¯s with the formality? has their rtionship downgraded to this level now?

    Amelia snapped her gaze back to Liam who had a calm expression on..

    ¡°Neither Aidan nor I needs any favors from you Liam Grayson¡­ stay with your limit or else I will file aint against you for harassment!¡±

    Liam raised a brow, aint? what cell in the country would be able to hold him even for a second?

    ¡°If trying to win back your wife is a harassment¡­ then I¡¯m ready to spend the rest of my life in a cell Amelia!¡± His voice came out in a low growl which made her heart skipped a beat. She hated the fact that he still makes her heart beat in a funny way.

    Jason sighed in relief when he saw both mother and son in the room.

    ¡°Thank goodness.. where did you find him?¡± Jason curiously asked.

    Amelia ced her purse on the bed and turned to him with furrowed brows.

    ¡°Who else? that Liam Grayson still doesn¡¯t want to learn¡±

    Aidan tugged Amelia¡¯s dress ¡°Mummy handsome uncle isn¡¯t at fault here, I agreed to go with him¡±

    Amelia sighed and propped him next to Jason ¡°Jason talk to him.. he is bing really stubborn¡±

    Jason ruffled Aidan¡¯s hair a bit ¡°Hey little man¡­ you got your mum and I worried¡±

    ¡°Can I ask you something Jason?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s dad Aidan!¡± Amelia corrected with a firm tone, Aidan only calls Jason dad in public ces but when they are alone he calls Jason whatever namees to his little mind¡­

    ¡°Is he?¡± Aidan replied with the same tone which caught Jason and Amelia off guard.

    ¡°You told me that my daddy¡¯s other name was Liam.. and everyone I¡¯ve met so far with handsome uncle thinks that he is my daddy because of our resemnce! and Liam is handsome uncle¡¯s name too!¡±

    Jason and Amelia exchanged gazes this smarty pants has be really suspicious.

    ¡°Aidan don¡¯t you trust me?¡±

    Aidan¡¯s orbs met his mum¡¯s hazel eyes that were almost at the verge of tears.. ¡°You don¡¯t want to tell me the truth mummy¡±

    ..

    Nora took selfies of herself while Louisa braided her hair..

    ¡°You¡¯ve been taking selfies for a while now.. is there something specialing up?¡±

    Nora shook her head and ced the phone on the bed next to her..

    ¡°Mum.. tomorrow is my parents and teachers meeting¡­ parents are expected toe¡±

    ¡°is that why you are so happy? you know I will always be there honey¡±

    Nora chuckled staring at her reflection, she touched her pony tail..¡±Yeah I¡¯m excited because.. I get to see my dad¡±

    The small smile on Louisa¡¯s face washed off as Nora¡¯s words reyed in her mind..

    ¡°You told me that daddy wille back home when I clock five¡±

    Louisa sighed, how was she supposed to exin this to Nora.. her father doesn¡¯t even know that she is existing..

    ¡°Of course he will be there!¡± Louisa assured but deep down she knew it was impossible.

    ¡°Yay! I can¡¯t wait to see what he looks like¡­ do you think he will like me?¡±

    Louisa lifted Nora up and took her out of the room ¡°you are a lovely girl¡­ so daddy will definitely love you a lot¡±

    Nora nted a quick peck on Louisa¡¯s cheek ¡°I love you mum¡­ but I will love my daddy a bit more¡±

    Louisa pouted ¡°I think you are being unfair¡±

    ¡°No I¡¯m not! I bet grandma would know better, can we go visit her?¡±

    Louisa nodded in approval, deep down she was scared of this tomorrow¡­ what would she tell her daughter if her dad doesn¡¯t show up?

    ..

    At night¡­

    Liam sat still in the car as he stared at the glowing sign in front of him.

    ¡°Come on dude! get out of the car!¡± James excitedly murmured.

    Liam sighed, earlier he had asked them for suggestions on how to win back Amelia¡­ and now they brought him to a clubhouse..

    Steven opened the car¡¯s back door and pulled Liam out..

    ¡°A clubhouse? do I look like you both? and how will this help me with Amelia?¡± Liam fired at the both of them..

    ¡°Hey go easy on us man¡­ we are only trying to help.. wee here when ever we want to forget our sorrows and pain¡± Steven exined which Liam didn¡¯t find helping at all.

    Liam stared at the sign again¡­ if he was to be seen in a ce like this, his image will be tarnished..

    ¡°Nah I¡¯m good¡­ I can¡¯t go in there¡­..

    His voice trailed off as he spotted a familiar person going into the clubhouse¡­

    Liam took a sip out of his ss as he stared at the farther end of the clubhouse.. who would have thought that he would see his biggest rival here.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    James nudged Liam ¡°Now you know something about him that Amelia doesn¡¯t know¡±

    The three gulped down as they watch ady send a p to Jason¡¯s face..

    ¡°I hate you Jason!¡± her voice trembled slightly as she walked away hurriedly from the clubhouse.

    Jason sat back down and sighed, things were turning bad for him in his rtionship.

    ¡°So the perfect Mr Miller is also a cheater, I¡¯m sure Amelia would be shaken by this news¡± James butted in..

    Liam smirked, he would surely use this to his advantage¡­.

    .

    The next morning¡­

    Amelia arrived at Aidan¡¯s school, today was the parents and teachers meeting..

    ¡°so Jason couldn¡¯t make it?¡± Louisa asked with a raised brow..

    Amelia simply nodded, at least she was present that was all that matters.. she noticed the sad look that crossed Louisa¡¯s face and was worried.

    ¡°Is everything alright Lou? you look down¡±

    Louisa sighed and stared at Nora who was talking non stop to Aidan who didn¡¯t seem interested.

    ¡°Actually.. Nora is a little bit too excited today¡­ she wants to meet her father today¡±

    Amelia narrowed her gaze at Louisa, she hadpletely forgot to ask who Nora¡¯s dad was..

    ¡°Isn¡¯t he around? and who is he by the way?¡± Amelia asked.

    Louisa gripped her arm ¡°Dn is her dad¡±

    Amelia¡¯s lips parted in surprise, did Louisa and Dn really had a rtionship like that?

    ¡°Dn? as in Liam¡¯s closest friend?¡± Amelia asked again just to be sure..

    ¡°Yes that Dn..¡± Louisa murmured with a small sigh..

    Amelia held Louisa¡¯s hands taking her to a bench ¡°I never knew that you both will eventually make out your rtionship because it seemed pointless at that time¡±

    Louisa squeezed the helm of her dress, she didn¡¯t even know where to start from.

    ¡°Actually Dn suggested we give our rtionship a month¡¯s trial.. we were actually progressing a bit¡­ but one day we had a little too much to drink and we¡­..

    Amelia touched Louisa¡¯s hands resting on herps.. ¡°Go on and tell me Lou¡±

    ¡°We got intimate and the next day he called over the phone.. expressing how sorry he was for the previous night¡¯s incident and that was thest I heard from him¡­ ¡±

    Amelia sighed and pulled Louisa in for a quick embrace.¡±I¡¯m really sorry about that, you could have tried to reach out to him¡±

    Louisa smiled ¡°He only told me that, he will be back¡±

    Louisa¡¯s mind drifted back to that day when he had said it to her over the phone..

    ¡°if you can wait for me¡­ then I will be back for you¡±

    His words were deeply imprinted in her heart and since then she had been waiting for his return¡­

    Nora ran towards her mum ¡°Mum is dad here yet?¡± she asked in excitement¡­

    Louisa shook her head with a smile ¡°No dear.. he isn¡¯t.. he is stuck at work¡±

    Nora¡¯s face fell as she heard her mum¡¯s words, Amelia took Nora¡¯s hands and pulled her gently towards her.

    ¡°Listen Nora.. Aidan¡¯s dad isn¡¯t here too because he is stuck at work¡±

    Nora pouted ¡°but why can¡¯t he make it today? I have been waiting for this day toe for a while now¡­¡±

    ¡°Nora don¡¯t worry your dad will make it today.. I assure you¡± Louisa¡¯s eyes widened at Amelia¡¯s words¡­ where was she going to find Dn?

    ¡°Amy are you sure?¡± Louisa whispered and asked in surprise.

    Amelia smiled at Nora ¡°Go and y I will get your dad for you okay?¡±

    Nora nodded with a smile and dashed off to y with Aidan..

    Louisa turned sharply to Amelia as soon as Nora was far away from them..

    ¡°What? how are we supposed to do that?¡±

    Amelia winked at Louisa with a mischievous smile ¡°Nora doesn¡¯t know who her dad is¡­ call James or Steven over to act like him, and someone has to represent Aidan¡¯s dad as well¡±

    ¡°Why? we are not dead yet!¡±

    Amelia and Louisa¡¯s gaze snapped to the two men standing a little distance away from them.

    Louisa and Amelia were both shocked and surprise at the same time¡­

 Chapter 151_ Dadâ€™s to the rescue

    The twodies peered at the men in front of them in surprise..

    Liam had a smirk on his lips as he stared at Amelia.. he touched Dn¡¯s shoulder and nodded at him..

    Liam stood beside Amelia and leaned down to her ear.. ¡°Let¡¯s give them a little privacy don¡¯t you think?¡±

    Liam didn¡¯t give her space for a protest, he simply pulled her dazed self along with him..

    Dn massaged the nape of his neck as he stared at the dazed Louisa, he took a step forward to her.

    ¡°Lou..

    Louisa snapped her head to him, he was really here¡­

    Dn approached her slowly with a small smile, when he was just near her he pulled her into his embrace..

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry it took me so long¡­ I couldn¡¯t bring myself to face you after that night¡­¡±

    Nora¡¯s eyes widened when she saw the man with her mum¡­

    ¡°Yay!! daddy is here¡± She squealed in excitement and ran towards their direction.

    Dn pulled away from Louisa to stare at her face, only to be engulfed in another hug but this time by Nora¡­

    Dn stared down at the little girl hugging his legs, he snapped his gaze back to Louisa.. the uncanny resemnce between them was undeniable.

    ¡°Louisa.. is she your daughter?¡± Dn asked in disbelief which made Louisa turn red in anger..

    ¡°Is she only my daughter?.. you would have known you had a daughter if you hadn¡¯t decided to run away like a headless chicken!¡± Louisa breathed out in anger, she didn¡¯t miss the look of shock that crossed his face..

    Dn gasped softly as he stared down at Nora who was throwing her hands up to him..

    ¡°Daddy pick me up¡±

    ..

    Amelia wriggled her wrist off Liam¡¯s grip ¡°Don¡¯t you learn Liam? what are you doing here?¡±

    Liam arched a brow at her and adjusted his cor ¡°I hold thergest share in this school and besides that I¡¯m here for Aidan and Chloe¡±

    ¡°You aren¡¯t Aidan¡¯s father to represent him.. Jason would be here anytime soon¡± Ameliashed out to see Liam burst intoughter.

    ¡°Well he won¡¯t be leaving anytime soon.. I increased his workload so he won¡¯t make it¡±

    Amelia grabbed his neck tie in anger, she rolled it slowly around her wrist till he bent close enough to her..

    ¡°Listen to me Mr Grayson, I don¡¯t know why you are so obsessed with I and my little family.. I warned you yesterday, don¡¯t make me file a restraining order against you!¡±

    Liam shrugged and blew a kiss to her ¡°Don¡¯t waste your time with that, I¡¯m only trying to save you from your heart break, the man you im to be your child¡¯s father is actually cheating on you¡±

    Amelia realeased the grip on his tie and rolled her eyes at him..

    ¡°No one asked you to keep an eye on my husband.. you are only looking for a way to tear my family apart and I won¡¯t allow it!¡±

    Liam grabbed her hand and twirled her around ¡°As long as Liam Grayson still lives you can¡¯t belong to anyone apart from me¡±

    Amelia stepped on his foot and sent a punch to his chest..

    ¡°Go on, do as you want but just know this.. I love Jason and I won¡¯t leave him because of you!¡±

    A pang of pain shed past his orbs which Amelia didn¡¯t notice¡­

    ¡°The more you say that.. is the more I have enough reasons to get rid of that Jason! I might havemitted a great mistake but now that I¡¯ve realized it.. I will definitely win you back Amelia¡±

    Amelia tilted her head to the back with her arms crossed¡­¡±Don¡¯t bother trying.. move on too¡± She answered back and walked away from him..

    Dn ced both hands in his pockets as he stood next to Liam¡­

    ¡°How did it go?¡± Liam turned to Dn briefly to see him sigh..

    Dn massaged his nape ¡°She is still pretty mad at me¡±

    ¡°Seems like we messed up big time!¡± Liam concluded as they both watched the twodies chat away happily¡­.

    Cecile massaged her head when she saw her room filled up with rose petals and gift boxes..

    She already knew who this love freak was, it was non other than Anthony..

    Cecile returned back to the sitting room where he was..

    ra nudged Karl when she saw Cecile approaching..

    ¡°Who sent those flowers and gift boxes up to my room?¡± Cecile asked facing Anthony..

    Anthony had a weird smile on his face, Karl and ra had suggested this to him¡­. and now they were secretlyughing at him..

    ¡°Actually.. I.. did Cecile¡± Anthony said in a lowered tone..

    ¡°I didn¡¯t tell you that I needed red roses or gifts!¡± Cecile fired back at him..

    Karl sighed, this went bad¡­ this wasn¡¯t what they were expecting at all¡­

    ¡°Mum Cecile¡­ this was actually I and ra¡¯s idea.. dad was against it but we persuaded him a lot before he agreed, please don¡¯t me him¡±

    Cecile walked towards the couch where Karl and ra were sitting on.

    ¡°So this idea was brought up by you two?¡± Cecile asked which they nodded to¡­ and in the next second she pulled their ears¡­

    ¡°Ah¡­ mum Cecile it hurts so bad!¡± Karl screamed out..

    ¡°Mum.. my baby is crying because you are pulling my ears¡± ra said with a pout..

    Cecile released her grip on them and ced both hands on her hips..

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe that you both will actuallye up with this ridiculous idea¡­ I really don¡¯t know the difference between you and Amelia Karl!¡±

    ¡°Cecile you can punish me instead they weren¡¯t really at fault, they were only trying to help me¡±

    Cecile returned her gaze back to him ¡°And who said you won¡¯t be punished? of course you all deserves to be punished and now for your own punishment¡± She said with an evil smirk¡­

    ra leaned towards Karl ¡°She won¡¯t actually punish him now, would she?¡±

    Karl shrugged and stroked his chin, Amelia definitely got her mum¡¯s mischievous side¡­.

    Anthony gulped as he stared at the room littered with rose petals and sorry cards¡­

    ¡°You know what you have to do, take them all out with your hands while I have some alone time¡­ and remember not even a petal should be left in here¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve spent thest seven months trying to make up for all my mistakes but you are not giving me a chance to amend them¡± Anthony trailed off.

    Cecile sat on the sofa while reading a magazine, she stared at him for a brief second when she heard him speak.

    ¡°you won¡¯t be able to understand what it means to be tagged as a divorcee when you have a child that expects much from you¡±

    Anthony took a step forward to her ¡°I¡¯m sorry about that Cecile that¡¯s the reason I¡¯m doing everything I can to make things work out between us again like before¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you understand that this is hard for me? I don¡¯t want to make the same mistake twice¡­ I was ready to look past your numerous affairs and save our marriage but you asked for a divorce¡­ just so you could get married again to your childhood sweetheart¡±

    ¡°Give me one more chance Cecile.. everyone deserves a second chance at least.. You know how much Amelia loves seeing us both together when she was still so young¡± Anthony tried to persuade¡­

    Cecile closed her eyes for a brief second and snapped them open again¡­

    ¡°You want a second chance? then you will get it! as long as you are willing to do something in return¡± Cecile mouthed in a firm tone.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    ¡°I will do anything.. even if it means sacrificing everything I have¡± Anthony replied back, of course he was willing to do anything to have his family intact and in ce.

    They¡¯ve been separated from each other for years now, now it was time theye together as one happy and full family¡­

 Chapter 152_ Angry ladies

    A hall was filled with teachers, parents and their respective kids¡­

    Aidan and Nora were the most happy set of kids present there.. they were d that their parents were able to make it.

    Aidan who was sitting in between Liam and Amelia stared back and forth between his parents..

    Every other kids were chatting away happily with their parents but his and Nora¡¯s parents wore a straight face..

    He got up from his seat and stood in front of them with furrowed brows..

    ¡°handsome uncle can you please move to the center seat? I want to sit here¡±

    Amelia was about to protest against it but Liam beat her to it..

    ¡°Sure.. why not¡± Liam remarked and adjusted to the center seat pushing Amelia a bit..

    Aidan shed a toothy smile at his mum who was fuming in anger..

    Amelia adjusted a little bit, she didn¡¯t want to make any skin contact with Liam but to her surprise Liam adjusted again¡­

    She raised her head to him with a questioning face to see him shrug nonchntly¡­

    She adjusted once more for Liam to move even more closer to her¡­

    Amelia nced around briefly before facing Liam ¡°Will you just stoping closer? don¡¯t let me snap at you¡± She warned..

    Liam shed her a smile and nodded but he did the exact opposite¡­ He adjusted once more¡­

    Aidan face palmed himself.. at least Nora¡¯s parents must be doing great¡­ right?

    Nora folded her arm in anger, she bet Aidan¡¯s parents were doing a lot better than her own parents. it seems as if her own parents were statues.

    ¡°Dad I think mum is running a temperature¡± Nora suddenly blurted out which caught Dn and Louisa by surprise..

    Dn instantly raised his hand and touched Louisa¡¯s forehead ¡°Are you alright Lou?¡±

    ¡°I was alright before you touched me!¡± she snarled at him..

    Nora sank back into the chair, she only made things worse..

    However, a small thud brought her out of thought, she nced towards the direction of the sound to see Aidan¡¯s mum on the floor.

    Amelia red furiously at Liam who had a roguish grin on his lips right now, she has fallen off her seat because of him and now she was the center of attraction¡­

    ¡°Give me your hand¡± Liam urged which she ignored, she rose up from the floor and smacked his chest with her purse..

    ¡°I hope you are happy now!¡± Amelia asked through gritted teeth¡­.

    Aidan and Nora watched their supposed parents argue at a distance..

    ¡°What do you think is wrong with them?¡± Nora asked. She thought today will be a really perfect day for her but it turned out so sour..

    ¡°Maybe they don¡¯t like each other¡±

    Liam had a smile stered on his lips while he watched Amelia rant on and on which further added to her anger..

    ¡°Do you know how humiliated I was? if you had stoppeding so close to me.. I wouldn¡¯t have adjusted and eventually fallen off my seat!¡±

    Liam tapped her nose ¡°How is this my fault? I didn¡¯t ask you to move away from me¡­ we needed to act like a happy family and that was what I was doing¡± Liam defended with a chuckle.

    ¡°Bying close to me? you pervert!¡± she fired..

    .

    James and Stevenughed their guts out as they stared at the two who were down because of their lovers.

    ¡°Okay let me get this straight Liam and Dn¡­ you both are facing simr problems.. you both can actually work together and exchange ideas on how to woo them again¡± James suggested to receive a re from Liam.

    ¡°You know? I¡¯m never tired of pushing that button¡± Liam pointed his finger to the inte.

    Dn sighed, now he feels how it is to be mocked by this two.. now he understood how Liam felt few years ago.

    ¡°Ignore them Liam¡­ we have to find a way, we have two angrydies to appease¡±

    Liam sighed softly, Amelia was super mad at him and it will take a lot to appease her..

    ¡°We have to think of something so fast¡± Liam added.

    ¡°I have to be at my parents house now, they don¡¯t know that I¡¯m back yet¡± Dn cried out..

    James touched Dn¡¯s shoulder squeezing it softly ¡°Sometimes running away from your problems isn¡¯t the best solution Dn, this is the reason Louisa is mad at you¡­ like seriously I had expected you and Liam to be happily married by now..¡±

    ¡°Will you stop reminding us about our mistakes? we¡¯ve admitted it and now we are trying to fix it!¡± Liam muttered irritably, he hated himself so much for not trusting his wife.

    Steven rxed back on his seat with a loud scoff ¡°Well we will keep reminding you two until you change¡±

    ..

    Jason returned to the hotelter that night, he went into the suite to find it empty.

    He sighed as today was very hectic for him, he had to handle all the responsibility since Liam entrusted everything to him..

    His phone beeped and he read the message immediately since it was from Amelia..

    e join us for dinner¡¯

    Hearing the word ¡®dinner¡¯ alone made his stomach grumbled out loud, he chuckled at the sound of it, he hasn¡¯t had a proper meal today.

    Amelia waved her hand to Jason when she spotted him scanning around for them, he smiled and walked to their table..

    He pulled out a seat and sat down next to Aidan, he ruffled Aidan¡¯s hair a bit..

    ¡°I know you aren¡¯t upset with me little man¡± Jason¡¯s grey orbs rested on Aidan.

    ¡°Nah I¡¯m not.. handsome uncle took your ce as my dad.. my ssmates were super jealous of my cool new daddy¡± Aidan replied with a wide grin.

    Amelia rolled her eyes, ever since they left his school he has been talking about his handsome uncle all day which has started irritating her ears¡­

    Jason raised a questioning brow at Amelia who shrugged her shoulders..

    ¡°Aidan table manners¡­ eat your meal and stop talking¡± Amelia scolded..

    To their surprise another chair was pulled out and someone upied it..

    The familiar cologne waft through Amelia¡¯s nose and she didn¡¯t need anyone to tell her who that was..

    ¡°Mr Grayson I¡¯m d you could make it here on time¡± Jason murmured.

    Amelia¡¯s gaze narrowed down at Jason, he shed her a small smile and an apologetic look.

    Liam turned to his side and smiled evily at Amelia ¡°Hi Mrs Miller.. we meet again¡±

    Amelia could read the underlying meaning behind his words..

    ¡°Yes.. it¡¯s almost like you¡¯ve been stalking me¡± she replied back with a crooked smile¡­

    ¡°Handsome uncle I was just talking about you¡­ but mummy scolded me for it¡± he said with a pout on his lips..

    Liam leaned forward to Aidan¡¯s ears and whispered..

    ¡°Yeah you are right¡± Aidan added¡­

    Jason took the ss of juice on the table and was about to drink it when Aidan knocked it down while trying to reach for the bread..

    ¡°Oops! I¡¯m sorry dad..¡±

    Jason stared down at his pants and stood up ¡°I will be back¡±

    ¡°Aidan you never stay still.. now you¡¯ve ruined your dad¡¯s pants¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to scold him¡± Liam defended stroking Aidan¡¯s hair ¡­.

    Amelia threw a mean gaze at him ¡°Stay within your limits.. no one asked you for your opinion¡±

    Amelia picked Aidan up and left the restaurant with him¡­

    However Liam was more interested in talking things out with Jason¡­.

    .

    Jason entered the male¡¯s restroom, he pulled out a tissue from its box and wiped his pants.

    His phone vibrated in his pocket, he pulled it out and smiled seeing the caller..

    ¡°Hi¡­ what? breakup? but why?¡± Jason¡¯s heart beat increased drastically¡­

    He stared at his phone and sighed deeply, he turned on the tap and sshed water on his face, he was having troubles with his girlfriend because of Amelia and Aidan..

    The door opened and Liam stepped in with a fierce gaze, this Jason actually had the nerves to cheat on Amelia while he was working his ass off for her to notice him again¡­

    Jason turned towards the person who just came in and a gasp escaped Liam¡¯s lips¡­.

    Liam¡¯s eyes rounded in shock as he stared at Jason without uttering a word to him, he dashed out of the restroom.

    Jason found Liam¡¯s attitude strange, he nced towards the mirror in front of him and was shocked as well..

    He touched his left eyes and nced down at the sink¡­ one of his contact lenses hade off revealing his ck orbs¡­..

 Chapter 153_ I will do everything in my powerâ€¦..

    Amelia was startled when she heard several knocks on her door.. thinking it was the room service she called for..

    She opened the door and to her surprise she was pulled out of the room, her backs touched the wall gently¡­

    Her heart pounded hard as she stared at Liam¡¯s burning eyes¡­

    ¡°What do you want this time?!¡± she fired at him..

    Liam had a small smile on his lips as he stared at her.. ¡°Aidan is our son¡­¡±

    ¡°No he is not!¡± she retorted..

    Liam ced a finger over her heart shaped lips. ¡°Please don¡¯t lie to me anymore.. Jason isn¡¯t Aidan¡¯s dad.. I am¡­ we both are his parents¡±

    Amelia pulled off his hand away from her lips and stepped away from him..

    ¡°What makes you think so? didn¡¯t I show you the DNA test report? stop getting your hopes up high¡±

    ¡°Anyone can forge that report Amelia¡­ please don¡¯t make our son suffer this way by separating him from his real father¡­ I know I was wrong and I have epted it¡±

    Amelia moved back into the room and mmed the door shut..

    She rested her back against it as she muffled her cries with her palm over her mouth¡­

    Few minutester Jason walked into the room dejectedly, by the looks on Amelia¡¯s face he could tell that Mr Grayson must havee here..

    ¡°Jason you took so long¡­¡±

    Jason sighed and stared at everywhere else apart from her eyes, he needed to tell her the truth.

    ¡°Amelia.. actually Mr Grayson knows about my real identity¡±

    Amelia sat up, what could Liam possibly know about Jason?

    ¡°What? what did he find out?¡±

    Jason pulled off one of the contact lenses and raised his head to her¡­ she released a sigh and tapped her forehead..

    ¡°He saw me without one of these.. I¡¯m sorry for giving you out this way.. it wasn¡¯t on purpose¡± Jason apologized..

    Amelia paced around, Liam already knew the truth what if he finds out that she and Jason weren¡¯t actually married?

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to figure things out so soon..¡±

    Jason sat on the bed, he also wanted to voice out and tell Amelia how bad his rtionship with his girlfriend has gone..

    ¡°Amelia there is something else again¡­ Veronica broke up with me today? she really thinks that we are married given that I hardly spend time with her¡±

    Amelia sat back down, there was no doubt that their pretense would definitely end here tonight.. since Mr Arrogant figured everything out..

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry I will speak to her on your behalf¡­ you don¡¯t need to worry about anything¡±

    Jason smiled at her ¡°Thanks.. now I will have to look for a perfect reason for our fake divorce because of my parents¡±

    ¡°there¡¯s still time for that..¡±

    ..

    Louisa massaged her head as she watched Nora yell her lungs out..

    ¡°Nora dear it¡¯s sote please lower your voice¡± Louisa pleased but to her surprise Nora¡¯s voice only intensified..

    ¡°I want my daddy!!¡±

    Louisa ced both hands on her ears, she might go deaf if she keeps yelling that way.

    ¡°Nora please¡± Louisa pouted blinking her eyes which didn¡¯t have any effect on Nora¡­

    Jenna, Jerry and Olivia stood up from the dining when they saw Dn strode in..

    They all had a look of shock on their faces like they¡¯ve seen a ghost..Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

    Dn itched the back of his neck, by the look on their faces they must be thinking that he was a ghost ¡­

    ¡°Mum, dad, Olivia¡­ it¡¯s me Dn¡± he said briefly..

    Jenna was the first toe out of her shock, she slowly walked towards him and just when she was near him¡­ a p was sent to his face¡­

    Olivia gasped, her mum has never raised her hands to her beloved son but now she did¡­ Even Dn was surprised, he had expected a big warm hug or even a kiss from her¡­

    ¡°You foolish boy! why did youe back home? you could have just remained there forever¡­ you were gone for five years!¡± Jenna yelled furiously at him¡­

    Dn reached out to her and held her shoulder taking her to a seat..

    Jenna squealed out in tears which Olivia found a little bit too much¡­

    ¡°Mum! I¡¯m so sorry.. I never knew that I will take so long to return¡­ I just couldn¡¯t face you all or Louisa after what I did¡±

    Jerry pulled Dn up from his crotching position and smacked his head ¡°So you think running away is the best choice? you left Louisa all alone.. do you know how much humiliation she suffered when you got her pregnant and disappeared?¡±

    Dn wiped his face with his palm, Louisa¡¯s anger towards him was justified, he infact does not deserve to be forgiven so easily..

    ¡°And that¡¯s why I¡¯m back.. I¡¯m ready to correct all of my mistakes this time¡±

    Dn walked towards his sister Olivia and pulled her into his arms..

    ¡°I miss you the most..¡±

    Olivia gasped for breathe as his grip on her tightened.. ¡°I¡¯m going to die bro¡± Olivia choked out.

    Dn chuckled and released his grip on her, he was back home now and with his family also¡­

    ¡°You have to help me Olivia, Louisa doesn¡¯t want to hear me out.. and she doesn¡¯t want our daughter near me either¡±

    Olivia touched his hands that were ced together in front of her¡­

    ¡°Even If you do not ask.. I will still do this for you, after all I have a strong liking to both mother and daughter¡±

    ¡°Thank you¡±

    ..

    Amelia jerked out of the bed when the strong ring noise from a trumpet reached her ears..

    She got out of bed and wore her pink fluffy slippers..

    ¡°Who could that be so early in the morning?¡± Amelia murmured rubbing her eyes..

    She opened the door and a st of red roses was dawned on her, a look of confusion crossed her face, today wasn¡¯t her birthday¡­

    She stared at the men in uniform blowing the trumpet and some otherdies in red spraying her with flowers..

    Anotherdy stepped forward with two big gold colored boxes. ¡°Ma¡¯am this is for you¡± Thedy said with a smile..

    Amelia reluctantly collected the box with an awkward smile..

    ¡°Thank you?¡±

    They all bowed down to her before leaving, Amelia stared at their backs with raised brows..

    ¡°What was that about? and who sent them?¡±

    She returned to the room and ced the box on the bed staring at it in suspicion..

    ¡°Mummy who sent them?¡±

    Amelia turned towards Aidan who just woke up from his slumber..

    ¡°I don¡¯t really know¡­ let me take a look¡±

    She opened one of the gift box to see a pink colored card..

    ¡®You are my everything and I can¡¯t imagine my life without you in it again¡¯

    Amelia arched one of her brows, she knew exactly where this came from..

    ¡°Hmm.. he never learns¡± she snorted and brought out a silver heel, her eyes narrowed down at the heel¡­

    This was the same heel she fought Jane for all those years ago¡­

    ¡°He kept this?¡±

    She examined the heel and saw a piece of paper ced under the heel with some scribblings by the side of it..

    ¡®i knew how much you loved this heel.. that¡¯s why I still kept it.. with the hope that you mighte back and fight for it¡¯

    Amelia chuckled and ced the heel aside, she pulled out a set of diamond ne..

    She peeped back into the box, only to notice most of her old stuffs in it¡­

    ¡°He still kept them?¡±

    ¡°Mummy do you know who sent it?¡± Aidan asked going through the items in the box.

    Amelia nodded and jerked up a bit when her phone rang beside her.

    She picked it up hesitating for a while seeing the unknown number, she already had a hunch on who it might be..

    ¡°Hello¡­

    ¡°This is just the beginning Amelia¡­ I will do everything in my power to bring you and Aidan back to my life¡­ so brace yourself for it¡±

 Chapter 154_ Their promises

    Amelia got up from the bed on hearing his familiar masculine voice..

    ¡°Well Mr Arrogant¡­ you should better stop trying to woo me back.. I don¡¯t want to be with a man who doesn¡¯t trust my words at all¡±

    Liam sighed at the other end, he was ready to atone for his mistakes but she was constantly reminding him of his mistakes¡­

    ¡°Please don¡¯t make this hard on me.. I¡¯m really sorry Amelia.. find it in your heart to forgive me¡±

    ¡°Well sorry.. because my heart is already full so there¡¯s no space for you in it! hmp!¡± she ended the call with a huff¡­

    ¡°Mummy was that handsome uncle?¡± Aidan asked..

    ¡°Not at all dear..¡±

    .. H

    Louisa snapped her eyes open on hearing giggles and loudughsing from her living room.

    ¡°Who did Nora let in?¡±

    She came down from the bed itching her messy hair..

    Louisa walked into the living room and her jaw dropped in surprise..

    ¡°Daddy look at it go¡± Nora giggled as she controlled the flying drone¡­

    She stared at the ground that were filled with different toys¡­

    ¡°What is going on in here?¡±

    Nora and Dn¡¯s gaze rested on Louisa who just showed up..

    ¡°Good thing you are awake now¡­¡± Dn said with a small smile.

    Louisa stepped further into the room gaping at the toys..

    ¡°that wasn¡¯t the question I asked¡­ and by the way what are you doing here? I thought I told you to stay away from I and Nora!¡±

    Dn touched Nora¡¯s head ¡°Why don¡¯t you take your toys outside I want to speak to your mum¡±

    Nora nodded and dashed out of the living room leaving the two alone..

    Dn released a breath and shed her a smile ¡°Lou.. I actually dropped by to see you and Nora¡±

    Louisa folded her arm ¡°Why? were we sick? or are we about to die?¡± she asked in sarcasm..

    Dn chuckled ¡°there¡¯s nothing wrong if I dropped by to see you both.. after all we are a family¡±

    Louisa pointed to the floor littered with all manner of toys..

    ¡°And this? forget the toys! you don¡¯t have any right to step into my home and call my daughter yours and what family are you talking about?¡±This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    Dn took steps to her ¡°Louisa please don¡¯t use those hurtful words on me, I can¡¯t bear it any more, I know I made a mistake.. I shouldn¡¯t have ran away like a coward.. it¡¯s just that I couldn¡¯t bring myself to face you after that night¡±

    Louisa inhaled deeply and pointed to the door ¡°The exit is that way¡­ leave when you are done!¡±

    ..

    A loudughter erupted from James and Steven as they stared at Liam and Dn¡¯s gloomy faces..

    By the looks of things, things didn¡¯t go as they had nned..

    ¡°I think Louisa and Amelia are in cohorts to make you both suffer for a long time.. you have no idea what those two must have gone through while raising your children¡± James said with a sigh, he would be a dead meat if he dares try this with Abby¡­

    ¡°I knew from the beginning that Amelia and Louisa would be the ones to bring you both back to your senses now look¡­ you two are running around looking for a way to win them over¡± Steven added with a chuckle..

    Liam and Dn exchanged gazes, from their expression one could tell how dis satisfied they were by the oue of their ns..

    ¡°Well I¡¯m relieved by the way to know that Aidan is mine and Amelia¡¯s son.. and that Jason guy.. I¡¯m looking for ways to get rid of him¡± Liam murmured.

    Dn snapped his head back to Liam ¡°why don¡¯t we go to his house and break his two legs¡± Dn suggested which Liam agreed to without hesitation.

    ¡°Yes you are right! let¡¯s do that tonight..¡±

    James raised his hand on air ¡°Excuse me you both! it seems you¡¯ve lost your mind.. break his legs? I expected this from myself and Steven not you two!¡±

    Steven banged the desk ¡°Hey you fools! I have an idea that does not involve breaking legs or whatever!¡±

    ¡°What is it?!¡± Dn asked..

    Steven Drummed on the table in a particr tune ¡°Be like Romeo¡­¡±

    James smacked Steven¡¯s arm jokingly ¡°Have you forgotten how poor this two are at doing things like that? So we will help you guys and in return we will get something in return¡±

    ¡°Deal!¡±

    ..

    Amelia and Louisa hugged briefly before pulling away from each other..

    Nora ran out of her room when she heard Amelia¡¯s voice, which meant that Aidan was also here¡­

    ¡°Aidan!¡± Nora called out excitedly, for once Aidan was d to see her..

    ¡°Come check out my new toys¡±

    Amelia and Louisa admired their kids for a while with a smile¡­

    ¡°If only their crazy fathers had watched them grow up.. what a perfect family it would have been¡±

    Louisa chuckled at Amelia¡¯s words and sat down on one of the plush cushions..

    ¡°Lou¡­ Liam figured everything outst night..¡± Amelia mumbled..

    ¡°Dn was here this morning.. he is asking for I and Nora to return home with him¡±

    Amelia scoffed out loudly ¡°Same as Mr Arrogant.. he has promised to win me back but not on my watch..¡±

    Aidan and Nora gasped in shock as they listened to their mothers..

    ¡°So handsome uncle is really my daddy?¡±

    Nora squinted her eyes at Louisa ¡°So mum doesn¡¯t want to ept daddy back? I will make sure her n fails!¡±

    ¡°So our mummys don¡¯t want to ept our daddys apologies.. but we will make sure that it happens¡±

    ..

    Allison stared at her face in the mirror which had burn injuries on it.. Liam has kept part of his promise when he said that she won¡¯t be able to get married to anyone..

    ¡°Dad, is there really no way for you to arrange money for my face surgery? I don¡¯t want to look this way.. I¡¯m hideous!¡±

    Mrs Williams came into the mini apartment with a tray of food..

    ¡°You should have thought about that before you decided to go against Liam Grayson¡­ I warned you several times but you didn¡¯t pay heed to me!¡±

    Allison knocked over the tray of food off her mum¡¯s hands..

    ¡°I¡¯m not interested in eating this garbage!¡±

    The trio present in the room stared at Allison in shock.

    ¡°That meal wasn¡¯t for you! but since you threw it away it¡¯s yours now¡­ you think you can still act spoilt? look at your surroundings this is a ce where people who mess with Liam Grayson are worth to live!¡± Mrs Williams barked out..

    None of this mess was her fault and yet she was suffering with them¡­

    ¡°Things were going just fine until you decided to bring up your obsession with Liam Grayson and now look where it hasnded us all!¡± Fred added scolding Allison..

    Allison smashed the mirror and stood up to her feet..¡±Why are you all trying to paint me bad?! I didn¡¯t n to involve that old Grayson.. infact you all are to be med for whatever happened to my face!¡±

    Allison¡¯s tears flowed down like endless streams, no one will be able to get married to her because of her face..

    She stared at her right hand, she recalled the day Amelia dropped her hand into a hot pot of boiling oil..

    ¡°Those two have managed to ruin my life!¡± She barked out loud..

 Chapter 155_ The phase 1

    Jason ced the luggage into his car and turned back to Amelia and Aidan with a small smile..

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe this is goodbye..¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s goodbye just for now.. you have every right to live your life the way you want it¡± Amelia replied..

    Jason turned to Aidan and ruffled his head a bit ¡°I think I will miss you the most little man¡­ Don¡¯t trouble your mum okay?¡±

    Aidan nodded, he was happy that Jason was finally leaving which means his real dad wille for his mum..

    ¡°Are you sure that you both will be okay?¡± Jason added to receive a nod..

    ¡°Aidan and I will be staying with my mum and dad for a while.. you have nothing to worry about..¡± Amelia assured..

    Jason pulled in the two for a brief hug, he was really going to miss them¡­ they were almost like his real family..This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    ¡°Take care..¡± he murmured before going into his car..

    Amelia and Aidan waved at the moving car till it vanished from their sights..

    ¡°Thank goodness that he is gone now¡± Aidan murmured..

    ¡°What was that?¡± Amelia asked..

    Aidan shrugged and turned around walking into the hotel building¡­.

    .

    Karl¡¯s smiling face fell as soon as he saw Amelia walking into the living room with a boy, he stood up in surprise¡­ he wasn¡¯t expecting her to show up and that too in his house..

    Amelia shed him a small smile ¡°Hi Karl.. long time no see¡±

    Karl snapped out of his daze when she threw herself into his arms¡­

    ¡°Amelia¡­ you¡­..

    ¡°I know you are mad at me.. you can hit me as much as you want after all you are my older brother¡± Amelia bbed¡­

    Karl held her shoulder back as he stared at her false tears..¡±You still haven¡¯t changed¡± he jested and pulled her back into a tight embrace¡­

    Aidan had a worried look on his face, just when he was happy that Jason was gone.. another mister appeared out of nowhere to steal his mummy..

    Karl returned his gaze to the little boy who was ring furiously at him¡­ he felt a chilly feeling run down his spine.. no doubt he had the same chilly gaze as his father..

    ¡°Looks so much like his dad.. and by the way Amelia you¡¯ve got a lot of exining to do¡­¡±

    Karl stopped a servant and pointed at their luggages ¡°Prepare a room for them¡±

    Amelia stared down at her feet, she just couldn¡¯t pretend to forget what she did all those years ago to Karl and his mum¡­

    ¡°Karl¡­ I¡¯m really sorry for what happened all those years ago¡­

    Karl ced a finger on her lips..¡±Forget about all that.. I once tried to kill you remember? so let¡¯s say that we are even now¡±

    ¡°Karl!! where is my pizza?!!¡±

    Karl and Amelia shuddered slightly as the voice reached their ears..

    Karl pinched the space between his brows, who knew that having a pregnant wife like this would be so difficult?

    ¡°was that ra?¡±

    Karl nodded with a sigh, he had forgotten to ce an order for the pizza she asked for..

    ra came out from her room rubbing her baby bump..

    ¡°You are such a monster Karl! I asked for a pizza and you couldn¡¯t get it for me!¡± rashed out irritably totally oblivious to Amelia¡¯s presence..

    ¡°Honey It skipped my mind, I will ce an order for one right now¡±

    ra squinted her eyes at him for a while to see if he was telling the truth..

    ¡°Fine! order one!¡± She yelled out irritably..

    She turned to leave when she noticed ady in the room, her eyes widened when she recognized her to be Amelia, Karl¡¯s half sister..

    Her eyes rounded in shock ¡°Amelia?¡±

    However Amelia¡¯s eyes was fixed on ra¡¯s baby bump¡­ ra embraced Amelia warmly..

    ¡°ra you and Karl are expecting?¡± Amelia asked to see ra rubbing her bump..

    ¡°Yes we are..¡± ra¡¯s eyes fell on Aidan who was oddly quiet as if examining his new surroundings..

    ¡°Your son? he is Mr Grayson¡¯s carbon copy.. I will be so upset if my baby eventually ended up looking like Karl¡± ra said with a pout which Amelia found funny except for Karl..

    ¡°What why?¡±

    ra rolled her eyes ¡°Well for starters.. I don¡¯t want my baby to look like his irresponsible dad who couldn¡¯t even give me what I needed the most¡±

    ¡°But the pizza is on its way¡±

    Amelia chuckled moments like this reminded her of her endless bickering with Liam¡­.

    .

    Amelia heard a knock on her window, she nced at the time but it was alreadyte.. and which normal person would want toe in through the window?..

    She picked up the purple colored umbre at the back of the door and held unto it firmly approaching the window in slow steps¡­

    She swiped the curtain open and saw a figure leaning on the balcony, without wasting any more time she used the umbre against whoever that was¡­

    ¡°Thief.. thief.. you dare try to break into my home? I will show you¡± She yelled using the umbre on him.

    The masked figure jumped into the room while Amelia chased him around with the umbre hitting him at every chance she got..

    ¡°Stop it.. I¡¯m not a thief¡± the voice came out breathless..

    However Amelia wasn¡¯t having any of it, she pulled off the mask and gasped in shock..

    Liam groaned out loudly as he remained on the floor.. ¡°I told you I wasn¡¯t a thief¡±

    ¡°You?!¡±

    She used the umbre on him again ¡°How dare you break into my home?¡±

    Liam cursed silently as he helped himself from the floor, he staggered for a bit and copsed on the bed..

    Amelia dropped the umbre and pushed her loose strands of hair behind her ears, she stared at his still body and panicked slightly¡­

    ¡°Did I kill him?¡±

    A knock came on her door which startled her for a bit, she rushed to the door and was surprised to see Karl and ra outside her room with a worried expression on their faces¡­

    ¡°Is everything alright in there?¡± Karl asked trying to peep into the room..

    Amelia blocked his path smiling weirdly ¡°What makes you think so? it¡¯s sote why are you both here?¡± she inquired..

    ra squinted her eyes at Amelia ¡°We clearly heard you screaming thief..¡±

    Amelia itched her head andughed out loudly ¡°Thief? oh yeah my bad.. that was actually¡­.. a y! yes a y.. I was rehearsing for it.. don¡¯t mind me I¡¯m so silly¡±

    Karl sighed, he had thought that a thief had actually broken into his house sote at night but it turned out to be a false rm..

    ¡°Okay if you say so¡­ goodnight once again¡± ra said with a yawn..

    Amelia smiled at her ¡°Goodnight¡±

    She closed the door and walked towards the bed but Liam was not there anymore, she walked towards the window that was slightly opened¡­

    ¡°Where is he? did he leave?¡± She murmured to herself¡­

    She closed the window and turned around only to crash into a hard body..

    ¡°Were you sad that I left?¡± his voice came out hoarse..

    Amelia pushed him to the bed which earned another groan from him..

    ¡°Don¡¯t you ever learn?¡± Amelia asked obviously irritated¡­

    Liam remained still on the bed ¡°Are you still trying to y dead? hahaha very funny¡± sarcasm evident in her tone.

    Few minutes passed by and he wasn¡¯t moving his body yet¡­

    ¡°Liam are you alright?¡±

    An hourter

    Amelia paced around in the hospital lobby, she hope he doesn¡¯t die or else she would spend her life in jail¡­ No one knew she was at the hospital apart from the male servants who helped her to sneak Liam out of the house to the car¡­

    The door to his ward opened and the doctor stepped out with Liam..

    The moment she saw Liaming out her eyes rounded in shock¡­

 Chapter 156_ The phase 2

    Amelia¡¯s jaw dropped as she saw Liam using two crotches with a cast on his arm and his head was also wrapped in a white neat bandage..

    Was it this bad? she only used a harmless umbre on him not an iron rod..

    Liam hopped groaning in pain, he turned to the doctor who was aiding his movement.

    ¡°I¡¯m good now¡±

    ¡°Are you sure Mr Grayson? you don¡¯t look too well to be discharged now¡±

    Amelia walked towards them and pointed to Liam ¡°I¡¯m very sure that it wasn¡¯t this bad doctor!¡±

    The doctor sighed ¡°Ma¡¯am.. I¡¯m very surprised myself as to why he is able to stand on his feet.. he is in a bad state to be discharged¡±

    Liam¡¯s face fell ¡°Yeah.. I have to go back home tonight because no one will look after me in the hospital.. my parents have moved to our ancestral home¡­ ouch!¡±

    Liam groaned out in pain, the doctor turned to Amelia with a small smile..

    ¡°Ma¡¯am you don¡¯t want him to die now do you?¡­ if he dies you will be held responsible.. you have to help him till he recoverspletely¡±

    Amelia folded her arm in protest, of course she didn¡¯t want him to die neither was she going to take care of him like a child even Aidan doesn¡¯t need that much care¡­

    ¡°Doctor.. forget about her.. she won¡¯t be able to look after me properly.. and besides that I will try tomit suicide so that she will be held responsible for my sad and painful death¡± Liam said with a pout¡­

    Amelia¡¯s teeth clenched in anger, so he wants to be a baby once again? then so be it!

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry doctor.. I will take so much care of him that he would beg for death instead!.. that¡¯s my promise!¡± she said through clenched teeth.

    Liam gulped down, he could tell that he was in for a long ride but he doesn¡¯t mind as far as it brings out the best for him¡­.

    Amelia held his arm giving it a tight squeeze, ¡°Just get ready for my wrath¡­ you totally deserve this for breaking into my home¡±

    Liam walked slowly away, he turned back to the doctor and winked at him..

    ¡°I will be d to face your wrath¡±

    ..

    Amelia took Liam back to his house, she helped him to the bed and was about to turn off the bedsidemp..

    ¡°No don¡¯t do that!¡±

    Amelia creased her brow ¡°Why? I thought you can¡¯t fall asleep with the lights on¡±

    ¡°You still know what I prefer..¡± Liam murmured to receive a sharp re..

    ¡°Hey! are you ready to sleep or not? I¡¯m runningte..¡± She said impatiently..

    ¡°What if I want to pee at night? how will I¡­?¡±

    Amelia raised her hand on the air to stop him from speaking further..

    ¡°Then do it on yourself!¡± she murmured and walked to the door however when she pulled it.. it was jammed..

    ¡°Why isn¡¯t it opening?¡± she mumbled trying to open the door, she heard a chuckleing from Liam..

    ¡°Even the door doesn¡¯t want to let you leave¡­ stay here for tonight..¡±

    Amelia turned around and started walking to him instead¡­ she climbed on the bed moving her hands on his body in search for the keys to the door..

    ¡°Hey slow down.. if you really wanted to seduce me, you should take your time¡±

    Amelia grabbed a pillow next to her and smacked it at his face.. ¡°Seduce you? you don¡¯t even worth my time anymore! give me the keys now!¡±

    Liam groaned out in pain when she touched his arm. ¡°Ahh!! that hurts!¡±

    Meanwhile¡­.

    Louisa nced briefly at the window when she heard a knock..

    She pulled out her protective bat under her bed and approached the window with it¡­

    She swiped the curtain open toe face to face with Dn.. she shrieked out in fright and hit the bat on him several times¡­

    Dn wobbled on thedder he used to reach her window which was on the second floor of the building¡­

    ¡°Lou.. it¡¯s me Dn!¡±

    Louisa raised the bat above her head catching her breathe¡­ for a moment there she thought that it was a burr¡­

    ¡°Why are you trying to break into my house sote?¡± she inquired¡­

    Dn gulped down as he saw her raising the bat again¡­ ¡°I wasn¡¯t trying to break in.. you didn¡¯t give me a chance to apologize properly to you this morning so I¡¯m back¡±

    Louisa folded her arm ¡°Oh¡­ you are here to apologize?.. well I¡¯m sorry for this!¡±

    ¡°Sorry for what?¡± Dn asked in confusion, in the next second his eyes widened as thedder fell backwards¡­

    Louisa smiled in satisfaction hearing his screams till a loud ssh was heard¡­

    ¡°And stay out!¡± She yelled out and closed her window¡­

    Dn swarm back up to the edge of the pool, he stared at her window and sighed¡­

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe I followed James and Steven¡¯s stupid idea¡­ I¡¯m sure Liam and Amelia must be doing better than I and Louisa¡±

    ..This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    James and Steven held their guts as they listened to Liam and Dn¡¯s encounter¡­

    ¡°Gosh.. I can¡¯t believe this!¡± James choked out in betweenughter, he couldn¡¯t decide who was more pathetic between the two..

    Amelia beat Liam to a pulp and on the other hand Dn has caught a cold after he fell into the poolst night¡­

    ¡°Yeah..ugh all you want!¡± Dn murmured, this was totally their idea in the first ce..

    ¡°Of course that¡¯s what we are doing!¡± Steven added and shook hands with James¡­

    Liam released a breathe, so far he thinks his problem with his wife was much more than Dn and Louisa¡­

    The door opened and all smile washed off their faces as soon as Amelia stepped in¡­

    ¡°Oh wow¡­ sister inw, it¡¯s so good to see you again¡± James said with a smile only to receive a chilly re¡­

    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to end up like your friend here.. I guess you know what to do¡± Amelia threatened cing a finger on her lips..

    She turned towards Liam with raised brow ¡°Excuse me Mr.. you were not supposed to get out of bed till you are well.. anyways it¡¯s your choice¡±

    She ced a white envelope on his desk ¡°This are your drugs¡­ take it after you¡¯ve had a meal¡±

    ¡°Where is the meal you are talking about?¡± Liam questioned..

    ¡°you have a female secretary am I right? I¡¯m sure she knows how to cook tasty meals for you! jerk!¡± she snarled at him and left the office.

    James and Steven resumed to theirughter, Liam¡¯s wife was obviously the hardest one to be apleased..

    ¡°Okay you two have done phase one.. so the next step will be¡­ the patient Romeo¡±

    Dn waved his hands in protest, he wasn¡¯t going to be a part of this n anymore¡­ he could still feel some waters from the pool were still inside his ears..

    ¡°Your psycho n almost killed mest night.. I¡¯m not interested¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not like you have a better n.. you love sick freak! and by the way I¡¯m not Louisa who pushed you off from adder¡± Steven scorned¡­

    ¡°Liam you said she attacked you with an umbre right? howe you have so many injuries?¡± James asked in suspicion..

    Liam sneered at him, no one except him understand.. from what he noticedst night Amelia still cares for him.. and he had to feign being injured to get her attention..

    ¡°Mind your business!¡± Liam hissed out in annoyance.

    ¡°are you ready for the next part?¡± Steven asked again, this time a little bit more serious..

    Dn and Liam exchanged gazes, what other choice do they have? they just hoped this new n doesn¡¯t im their lives¡­

    ¡°Yeah we are ready¡±

 Chapter 157_ Under the rain

    Aidan tapped his mum¡¯s phone for a while, he needed to talk to Nora urgently..

    When the call went through he heard Louisa¡¯s voice from the other end¡­

    ¡°Amy! it¡¯s great you called..

    ¡°It¡¯s Aidan aunt, can you hand the phone over to Nora please?¡±

    Louisa chuckled ¡°Oh Aidan.. Nora Aidan is on the phone!¡±

    Nora dashed into her mum¡¯s room she also wanted to talk to Aidan..

    ¡°Thanks mum.. I will be in my room¡± Nora said and went off without waiting for Louisa¡¯s reply..

    Nora closed her door shut before cing the phone to her ear¡­

    ¡°Hello Aidan¡±

    ¡°Hi Nora¡­ my fake daddy Jason is gone now.. but I want to go to my daddy¡¯s new house that is really big.. but my mummy doesn¡¯t want to forgive my daddy¡± Aidan exined with a pout..

    ¡°I came up with a brilliant ideast night to teach our mums a lesson and also help our dads¡±

    ¡°Wow! can you share it with me?¡± Aidan asked¡­

    ¡°of course.. but make sure your mum is far away from you right now..¡±

    ..

    Ameliabed Aidan¡¯s hair into ce, she noticed he has been hesitating to speak for a while..

    ¡°What is it Aidan? you can tell me¡±

    Aidan sighed ¡°Can we go visit daddy this weekend?¡±

    Amelia dropped theb on the table and pulled his cheeks a bit..

    ¡°am enough for you okay? I can spend all my time with you¡±

    Aidan shook his head in protest, ¡°No mummy! I want to spend time with you and daddy.. my new friends at school brag a lot about their parents!¡±

    ¡°But Aidan¡­.

    Aidan got down from the chair ¡°I don¡¯t want to speak with you!¡± he yelled at the top of his voice and stormed out banging the door a little harder than necessary¡­

    ¡°Such a temper!¡±

    Her phone rang out¡­ she stared at the caller id which was from an unknown number.

    ¡°Hello?¡±

    ¡°Look out of your window¡±

    She recognized the voice and walked towards the window¡­

    Liam waved at her with a smile which annoyed her, she wonders who let¡¯s him in everytime or does he sneak his way in?

    Amelia turned her back against him with the phone to her ears..

    ¡°You are supposed to be on bed resting what are you trying to achieve?¡±

    ¡°I won¡¯t rest till you are back into my life with our son..¡±

    Amelia turned back to the window staring down at him..

    ¡°You know well that this is my brother¡¯s house not your territory, I suggest you leave here and stop wasting your time on me¡±

    ¡°Well guess what wifey?! I won¡¯t move an inch from here until you ept me back into your life!¡±

    Ameliaughed out loudly, she knew he was joking¡­ with the amount of pain she inflicted on himst night.. she doubted if he will be able tost out there for an hour more¡­

    ¡°Well let¡¯s see you try!¡±

    Amelia threw her phone to the bed and sat on the chair next to her window reading a magazine¡­.

    .

    Cecile walked into the room with Anthony, she nced around till she spotted Karl massaging ra¡¯s feet..

    ¡°Hey mum Cecile and dad!¡± Karl called out as soon as he spotted them..

    ra pulled off her feet from Karl¡¯sps and smacked his arm¡­

    ¡°I told you not to do that!¡± ra scolded..

    ¡°You both are back? so early?¡± Karl uttered.

    Cecile folded her arm beneath her bossom and hummed in reply ¡°Yeah.. someone couldn¡¯t keep to his words!¡±

    Anthony snapped his head to her ¡°Keep to my words? I practically did everything you said.. I jogged for two hours.. then ran half a mile and back!¡±

    ¡°That sounds like torture!¡± ra blurted out and mped her mouth shut..

    ¡°Amelia is here with Aidan¡± Karl announced to see the two freeze on the spot¡­

    .

    Louisa looked out of her window with a frown, Dn doesn¡¯t learn¡­ she touched her forehead with a sigh..

    ¡°You want to stand under this scorching heat? didn¡¯t you break a bonest night?¡±

    She heard his deepughter and cringed e raine sun.. I will remain here till you ept me back into your life¡±

    Louisa huffed and brought out a novel ¡°Well you can remain there! while I read this really interesting novel I got!¡±

    She threw herself on her bed and began reading her novel¡­

    Meanwhile¡­..

    Cecile¡¯s jaw dropped as she saw Liam standing under the scorching sun while her daughter was reading a magazine..

    ¡°Liam is out there! let him in¡±All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.

    Amelia hissed out and closed her magazine ¡°Mum he has been standing there for hours now.. I wasn¡¯t the one who asked him to do that!¡±

    ¡°Amelia! he is injured he can¡¯tst any longer out there on crotches¡­ where is your human sympathy?¡± Cecile scolded¡­

    Amelia nced briefly at her mum ¡°I heard from ra and Karl that dad has been trying his best to woo you but you don¡¯t give him a chance.. where is your human sympathy?¡± Amelia questioned back..

    Cecile went numb¡­ she opened her mouth to speak but no words came forth¡­ she shook her head before going out¡­

    Amelia woke up after feeling a chilly breeze graze past her skin¡­

    She sat up with a yawn

    The weather suddenly changed into a chilly one, she rubbed her arm slightly and reached for the window.. when she spotted Liam still standing on the same spot¡­

    She looked at the sky.. the clouds were already getting darker and it might rain anytime soon..

    ¡°Are you nning to die out there? go back home! it can rain any moment!¡±

    Liam smirked and blew a kiss to her, Amelia caught the invisible kiss in her hands on threw it back at him which earned a smile from Liam..

    ¡°I¡¯m willing to get drenched if it means that you will forgive me¡±

    On hearing his response she shrugged and closed her window..

    Soon after it began pouring hard, a thunderbolt jerked Amelia out of her thoughts..

    She opened the window once more and to her greatest surprise Mr Arrogant was still standing there! he was shaking visibly as the little cold drops of water touched his skin..

    ¡°Get out of the rain Liam! you will fall ill!¡± sheshed out irritably but it fell on deaf ears¡­

    .

    The others who were ying cards had a look of surprise on their faces as they saw Amelia ran past them with an umbre¡­

    ¡°Mummy it¡¯s raining heavily out there.. you will get a cold!¡± Aidan yelled after¡­

    Cecile creased her brow.. does this mean that Liam was still out there?

    Liam could barely move a muscle anymore, he was on the verge of breaking down but he didn¡¯t want to give up just yet..

    He suddenly felt the rain cease falling on him and when he nced up he saw a purple umbre over his head shielding him from the cold drops.

    His gaze slowly trailed down and he met with an angry set of eyes peering at him.

    ¡°If you had wanted to die¡­. why did youe here? you could have stayed at your home and performed this show!¡± Amelia barked out loudly st him

    ¡°then why did youe out? you could have stayed back and watch me slowly die¡­

    Amelia ced her palm over his mouth ¡°Like I said you could have done this at your house not my brother¡¯s house!¡±

    She took one of his arm and slowly led him into the house¡­

    Louisa handed Dn a cup of hot tea, he had a towel around his neck which he used to wipe his wet hair¡­.

    ¡°Thank you¡±

    Louisa arched a brow at him, she was mad at him but not to the point where she wished him dead..

    ¡°Now you must feel like a hero am I right?¡± Louisa fired at him..

    ¡°I said I will do anything it takes to get you back into my life Lou¡­ did you underestimate my capabilities?¡± Dn asked..

    Louisa turned away from his intense stare ¡°I will get you something to eat¡­¡±

    She murmured and began walking away, she pulled the door only to realize that it was stuck..

    ¡°This is locked!¡±

    She banged the door hoping for it to reach Nora¡¯s hearing..

    ¡°Nora!!¡±

    However she heard a chuckle from outside her room..

    ¡°hey now mum! you are stuck with daddy in there¡­ this door will only be open if you two make up!¡±

    Dn sipped his tea in delight, how he wished to kiss his little angel right now..

 Chapter 158_ Little angel

    Amelia threw a towel at Liam who was shivering from cold..

    ¡°I will get you a new set of clothes..¡± she said briefly and was about to leave the room..

    ¡°You should have left me out there if you only pitied me¡­ I don¡¯t need your pity Amelia.. all I need is for you to ept my sincere apologies¡±

    Amelia faced him once more ¡°Do you think by apologizing to me everything will go back as it used to be?¡­¡±

    Liam took a step forward with the help of the crotches..¡±Tell me whatever needs to be done and I will make sure I do it!¡±

    Amelia rolled her eyes, he still doesn¡¯t get what this was all about..

    ¡°You won¡¯t understand any of it¡± she said simply and stomped her way to the door, she frowned as it didn¡¯t open at the first pull.. she tried once more but it was still the same¡­ stuck!

    ¡°Mum¡­ Aidan¡­ anybody there?! this door is jammed!¡± Amelia screamed out, to her surprise she heard a knock on her door..

    ¡°Don¡¯t bother shouting mummy¡­ I locked the door and the key is with me.. until the both of you make up and decide to be friends only then can the door be opened¡­. have fun!¡± Aidan said with a giggle..

    Liam chuckled holding back hisughter, on hearing his chuckle she snapped her gaze back to him..

    ¡°You find this funny? your son is just like you! he does whatever he wants! do you realize that your clothes are still dripping.. you can fall Ill and you find this amusing?¡±

    Liam had the sudden urge to pick Aidan up and send small kisses on his cute cheeks¡­

    ¡°He was with you all these years and he still has my nature¡­¡±

    Amelia turned back walking to the wardrobe present in the room¡­

    She searched through it and her eyes caught out a pink bath robe, a sinisterughter adorned on her lips as she stared at the bathrobe and couldn¡¯t help but imagine the look on his face when she shows him this!¡­

    ¡°Here! this is the only thing that can fit you¡±

    Liam stared at the bathrobe then to her straight face, was she doing this intentionally just to punish him?¡­

    ¡°it will be a little bit too short for me! and it¡¯s pink in color¡± Liam concluded in horror, he can¡¯t picture himself in something like that, he would look weird in it..

    ¡°Well what other choices do you have? the door is locked and the rain won¡¯t stop anytime soon or else you are willing to die from cold¡± Amelia ced it on the bed and stood in front of him..

    Her hands went to his shirt buttons, pulling them off slowly until his chest came in view¡­ she looked away from it.. since her mind was now focused on naughty thoughts¡­

    She disliked the fact that her heart still beats weirdly whenever he was around her.

    Liam continued watching her reactions as she fondled with the buttons on his shirt..

    He knew by her reactions that she still had something for him..

    ¡°Why are you so scared to admit it?¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± she blurted out when she heard him speak so suddenly¡­

    Liam lifted her face with a finger under her chin ¡°Look deep down into my eyes and tell me that you hate me¡±

    Amelia blinked her eyes, his finger alone that was under her chin was doing some weird things in her body..

    She snapped out of his charm.. she couldn¡¯t loose her guard now.. Liam has to go through what she went through all those years that they were apart¡­

    Amelia collected his crotches and ced it carefully on the floor¡­

    ¡°You need to change into this before you get a¡­.

    Liam sneezed out cutting her speech off, he rubbed his nose gently and nodded to her words..

    Amelia supported him Into the bathroom to change his clothes¡­

    She came out leaving him alone to his privacy, she touched her chest, her heart has been beating faster than normal ever since he stepped into her room¡­

    .

    Louisa had the urge tough out loud at Dn¡¯s face, she knew he hated whatever he was wearing but there was no other choice than for him to wear her pyjamas¡­ even though it was a little bit tight for him..

    Dn pulled the arm of the Pj that was glued to his body like a second skin..

    The worst of it all, it was purple in color only he knew how much he despised shy colors like this..

    ¡°Are you sure there isn¡¯t anything else other than this?¡±

    Louisa closed her novel and faced him with a bored look.. ¡°You could have brought an extra set of clothes if you wanted to get soaked under the rain¡­ I didn¡¯t ask you to stay under the rain!¡±

    ¡°But I had to.. because I still want you¡±

    Louisa went loss for words, she nced briefly at him.. ¡°You could have talked things out with me that morning before you left so suddenly¡­ you have no idea of how stupid I felt to have trusted someone like you¡­ I hated every single day thinking that I was the one at fault¡±

    Dn¡¯s lips parted as a sigh escaped his lips, how was he supposed to face her after what he did? he was the one who persuaded her to have a drink that day..

    Unfortunately for the both of them, they were both drunk to a stupor..

    ¡°I didn¡¯t want to see your hatred towards me¡­ there was only one option that came to my mind as of then..¡± Dn exined..

    Louisa looked out of the closed window, watching small drops of water sliding down the ss nonchntly¡­.

    ¡°The truth is.. you have always been a coward Dn.. instead of tackling your problems head on.. you run away and leave everything behind.. the problem you left behind won¡¯t solve itself.. it will only get worse!¡±

    Dn swallowed hard as he digested her words, so does she hate him now? hasn¡¯t she realized her feelings for him yet?.

    ¡°I¡¯m a coward and I admit that¡­ but now I¡¯m ready to fight back fiercely for what¡¯s mine.. but you are not giving me a chance¡±

    Dn sneezed out, he felt his fever has intensified after he got drenched under the rain¡­

    Louisa ced her novel on the table and walked to a drawer.. she opened the drawer and brought out a pill..

    She took a jug of water next to the bedsidemp and poured a little amount into the ss..

    ¡°This will help you relief your fever..¡±

    Dn epted the ss of water and pill with a small smile.. he knew it.. even though she was acting to be tough in front of him.. deep down she still cared..

    But what exactly was stopping her from speaking her heart out?

    Dn ced the cup on the table when he was done¡­

    ¡°I can promise that I¡¯m not only here for Nora but for you too¡± he said suddenly to see her freeze for a while¡­

    Liam stepped out with the pink bathrobe and felt like vanishing into thin air..

    Amelia closed her magazine when she heard the bathroom¡¯s door opened..

    She suddenly bursted outughing startling Liam in the process..

    Liam had a grin on his lips also at least he had given her a reason tough..

    ¡°Mr arrogant you look beautiful¡­

    She jested crackling up inughter, Liam¡¯s ears were getting redder by the moment¡­

    ¡°You know how much I hate this color.. and yet you..

    He sighed at the end and limped towards the bed where she was sitting on..

    ¡°It¡¯s good to see you smile andugh again after all these years.. I missed your smile the most¡±This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    Amelia¡¯s smile freezed on her lips, Liam was at his cheesiness again..

 Chapter 159_ I will think about it 1

    Karl narrowed his eyes at the little boy who was ring back at him..

    ¡°Did you lock them up in the room?¡±

    Aidan shrugged and waved the key in front of Karl for him to see..

    ¡°Yep.. I did it!¡± Aidan dered proudly..

    Karl faced the others in shock¡­ was it only him seeing how rude this kid was?

    ¡°Did you see that mum Cecile?¡±

    Cecile shook her head, all she saw was her adorable grandson.. she blushed hard, she was now a grandma..

    ¡°Come on Karl.. he is just a kid stop sulking about it and by the way I love what he did!¡± ra defended taking a bite out of her sandwich.

    Anthony massaged his head, he had a lot to speak about with Liam and Amelia.. and aside from that he has tried his best when it came to Cecile but she was making things harder for him..

    ¡°Aunt with the big belly is absolutely right! I did the right thing!¡± Aidan eximed¡­

    Karl muffled hisugh as he stared at ra ¡°Aunt with the big belly!¡±

    ra pouted her lips.. what a weird nickname, but at least it came from a cute soul¡­.

    .

    Amelia got up from the bed and was about to head to the couch when Liam reached his arm out to her¡­

    He drew her back which resulted to her falling on him¡­ Liam¡¯s arm went around her waist to stop her from moving¡­

    He searched through her hazel orbs trying to read them¡­

    ¡°Stop making this hard for me¡­ I already apologized to you severally.. what more do you want me to do?.. just name it and I will do it¡±

    Amelia scoffed.. well since he already promised to do anything she asked for, she better use it to her advantage¡­

    ¡°Will you really do anything I ask of you?¡±

    ¡°I will do anything to have you back into my life, I give you my word on that!¡±

    Amelia tapped his pointed nose with an eery smile which drew a thin line of worry on Liam¡¯s forehead.

    ¡°Then listen to this.. I would appreciate it if you stop trying to win me over¡­ things can¡¯t work out anymore between us¡±

    Liam corked a brow, was this her final decision? well he can¡¯t just sit back and watch..

    ¡°Why don¡¯t we let your body decide that¡±

    Amelia¡¯s brows creased, if he were to do that, she would fail miserably at it¡­

    Liam¡¯s arm tightened even more on her when she tried to move out of his grip..

    ¡°Liam let go!¡± She gasped out¡­

    Liam inched his face to hers slowly, he only wanted to find out if she was still in love with him or not¡­

    ¡°Liam what are you doing?!¡± she panicked pushing his chest¡­

    Liam ignored her question and ced his other hand at the back of her head pushing her face upwards¡­

    Her eyes involuntarily closed on its own when his breath lingered on her lips for a moment, she waited for the next action but it wasn¡¯ting just yet¡­

    She opened her eyes to see the smirk on his face, Amelia cursed herself inwardly¡­ she just gave herself out to Liam how foolish of her¡­

    ¡°How many more lies will you tell yourself Amelia?¡±

    She swallowed hard as his stare pierced through her soul¡­

    ¡°Just admit it Amelia and stop punishing me this way¡­ the more you say hurtful words to me¡­ the more I keep ming myself for being so stupid not to trust you¡±

    Amelia blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall¡­ she couldn¡¯t deny the fact that she still has feelings for him.. but what he did five years ago made her heart ache that she questioned herself several times if she made the right decision¡­

    ¡°Liam do you know what it means to be devastated¡­ that¡¯s what I felt when you hurled usations at me¡­ when no one was defending you¡­ I made sure they all ate dust and what did I get in return?¡±

    The tears she had been trying to stop, cascaded down her face¡­

    Liam¡¯s heart hurt a lot seeing her shed tears because of his actions¡­

    He stood up on his two feet and pulled her into his arms¡­ She must have gone through a lot during those times..

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ I am the one at fault please don¡¯t cry.. I can¡¯t bear to see you cry this way¡­. please¡±..

    .

    Dn abruptly pulled Louisa till her back touched the wall..

    ¡°I dare you to say that again!¡­ You will get married to another man?.. you want another man to take care of our daughter and what about me? huh?.. am I a pile of nothing that can be ignored?¡±

    An inch of fear crossed Louisa¡¯s eyes as soon as she saw his anger¡­.

    ¡°You weren¡¯t there with me for thest five years what makes you think that you will be there for the next five years?.. yes! I will get married to another man if¡­..

    She swallowed back her words as Dn¡¯s lips mmed against hers..

    Louisa pushed his chest with her palm over the sudden assault on her lips..

    Dn grabbed her two hands pinning them with one hand above her head¡­

    His tongue delved into her mouth seeking every nook and cranny¡­

    Louisa¡¯s knees weakened as she felt a tingling feeling from the pit of her stomach..

    Dn pulled back from his assault and stared deep down into her eyes..

    ¡°You reciprocated! and yet you want to get married to another man?¡± Dn asked in sarcasm¡­..

    He unpinned her hand from the wall and wrapped his arm around her thin waist¡­

    With a single pull she was standing so close to him, she bit her lips unable to stand his intense stare..All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.

    ¡°Speak up Lou.. do you still want to get married? or am I more than enough for you?¡±

    Her heart mmed against her ribcage, how was she supposed to answer that? she wanted to speak out but no words came out¡­

    Dn¡¯s lips drew a thin smirk as he ced a finger under her chin..

    ¡°I thought as much¡­ blushing red already? but I¡¯m the one with the fever¡±

    Louisa felt like vanishing into thin air, her face flushed hard in embarrassment¡­

    ¡°Dn¡­ I¡­ actually you are running a temperature¡± Louisa murmured trying to divert their conversation to another topic entirely..

    ¡°stop trying to divert the topic and give me an answer.. just forget about my health! what¡¯s the big deal if I die?¡±

    Louisa ced her palm over his mouth and sat a sharp re to him¡­

    ¡°If you die¡­ you leave me no choice than to get married and then Nora gets a new dad!¡± Louisa blurted out¡­ the moment she realized what she had spilled out it was already toote¡­

    Dn¡¯s lips drew into a teasing smirk..

    ..

    Nichs banged the wall in anger as he listened to Fred, all their effort has gone down the drain¡­ there was nothing more left to destroy again..

    ¡°Your dad is such a failure! have you forgotten how much he bragged about putting Liam in his ce¡­ now look at where he was downgraded to¡±

    Fred reached into the thin iron bars and pulled Nichs orange overall..

    ¡°you fool! you and your mother and that cunning grand father of yours are responsible for everything that happened!¡±

    ¡°Tell that to your b*tchy sister who couldn¡¯t control her obsession over Liam¡­ I kinda like what Liam did to her ugly face¡­ I can only imagine how hideous she must be now!¡±

    Fred gritted his teeth in anger, if not for the iron bars, he would have broken Nichs bones into tiny pieces¡­

    ¡°Your own half brother locked you up in this cell with no hope ofing out¡­ well I may as well break this shocking news to you¡­¡±

    Nichs gripped the iron bars as he red at Fred, who knows what bad news this fool wanted to drop..

    ¡°Your mum has really gone insane after spending thest couple of years with that psychopath Jane! they are both currently the city¡¯s most psychopathic patients that are difficult to control¡±

    Fred smirked seeing the look of horror that crossed Nichs face¡­ but he wasn¡¯t done yet..

    ¡°And your grand father¡­ the poor old fool is no more.. it seems to me like you are the only surviving sane family member left, watch out for your head!¡± Fred scorned and let out an eeryughter..

 Chapter 160_ I will think about it 2

    James and Steven bursted out intoughter as they listened to Liam and Dn¡¯s previous day encounter..

    They were both very sure that thedies were in cohorts with each other, even the kids too..

    ¡°I can only imagine Liam in a mini bath robe and you too Dn.. seriously a purple PJ but I thought you hated that color!¡± James jested tugging Steven¡¯s shirt..

    ¡°Exactly!.. but it¡¯s not as if I had any extra clothes at that time¡­ you have no idea of how many hours I stood under the scorching sun!¡± Dn mouthed as his thoughts drifted back to the previous day..

    ¡°Hmm.. tell me all about it! I stayed under the rain too¡­ if not for the rain.. I bet I would have been standing outside her window by now!¡±

    James and Steven shook hands, their love coaching finally paid off.. at least the two didn¡¯t seem downpared to the previous day..

    Dn tapped Liam¡¯s shoulder and massaged it gently..

    ¡°We just need to give them a little more time toe clean with us¡±

    James pulled out a bottle of wine and ced it on Liam¡¯s desk¡­

    ¡°It¡¯s been so long since I¡¯ve done this!¡± he chuckled.. Abby had strictly warned him about drinking and he kinda missed her right now..

    It¡¯s been two years she left the country to study.. he nced briefly at Liam then to Dn..

    He and Steven would end up being thrashed once Liam and Dn finds out the truth they¡¯ve been hiding from them¡­

    ¡°So what¡¯s our next move?¡± Dn inquired, he couldn¡¯t wait for Louisa to ept him back.. even though she tried hide her emotions¡­ he wanted her to say out those words he had been dying to hear for a long time¡­

    Steven and Dn exchanged brief nces before turning to the two..

    ¡°All we have to do now is to¡­ sit. drink. and watch!¡± Steven said raising his ss to his lips¡­

    James smirked and handed Liam a ss so as Dn..

    He poured wine into their sses and sat back down..

    ¡°But why do we have to sit and watch? this is urgent you know?¡± Dn questioned..

    Steven snapped his fingers at James ¡°Exin to them dude!¡±

    ¡°well what was the response you two got yesterday from your lovers?¡±

    ¡°I will think about it!¡± Liam and Dn mumbled at the same time¡­

    They faced each other in surprise, was this a kind of setup from thedies?

    ¡°Wow.. same answers¡± James pointed out with a smallugh¡­

    He cleared his throat and continued his speech.

    ¡°It¡¯s obvious that they are having second choices.. which is good.. so you both need to ignore them for today.. I¡¯m sure they must have gotten used to your disturbance by now¡±

    ¡°Smart!¡± Steven praised pping his hands¡­

    ¡°And what if it doesn¡¯t work?¡± Liam questioned with a stoic face..

    ¡°I¡¯ve dealt with manydies.. and I can say that they are books for me¡­ I¡¯ve read and understood their weird behaviors¡±

    ..

    Amelia walked into the dining table down casted, she took a seat beside her dad and nted a small kiss on his cheek¡­

    ¡°Good morning¡±

    Everyone exchanged meaningful gazes, she looked a bit worn out..

    ¡°Amy! are you alright?¡± Anthony asked which she nodded to..

    Aidan squinted his eyes at her ¡°She is upset because daddy hasn¡¯t called yet!¡± he suddenly blurted out..

    Amelia felt all eyes turned to her, she sighed and dished out her meal herself.. this smarty pants Aidan had the ability to read her mind just like his father..All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.

    ¡°What makes you say that Aidan?¡± Amelia questioned.

    Aidan nonchntly shrugged ¡°It was just a guess.. and it seemed to me that I was correct!¡±

    ra chuckled pulling Aidan¡¯s cute cheeks ¡°Awwn Amelia.. you and Liam are so lucky to be blessed with this cutie.. anyway do you care to tell us what happened behind those closed doors yesterday?¡±

    Amelia¡¯s cheeks turned red in embarrassment, what a question to ask..

    Karl took a bread from the table and stuffed it into ra¡¯s mouth..

    ¡°You talk way too much.. you never talk like this before!¡± Karl scolded..

    ¡°Karl let it go.. it is as a result of the pregnancy.. I faced this also.. and look at thedy I gave birth to¡± Cecile added with a sneer

    Amelia gasped out¡­ was her mum indirectly calling her a talkative¡­

    ¡°Dad!¡± Amelia called out¡­

    ¡°Cecile stop teasing her that way¡± Anthony said with a pleading gaze¡­

    Throughout the time of the breakfast, while others banter endlessly, Amelia was way too down that she left the table first despite being thest one to arrive there!

    She returned to her room looking out through her window.. if he would eventually show up but she was wrong he didn¡¯t show up..

    She heard the door to her room open and turned around to see who it was..

    ¡°Mum¡± Amelia called out softly and pulled her mum to the bed..

    Sheid down on the bed but propped her head on Cecile¡¯sps..

    ¡°I knew it! something was definitely wrong with you, I saw you staring out of your window.. are you perhaps waiting for him?¡±

    Amelia closed her eyes as Cecile¡¯s fingers caressed her hair softly..

    ¡°Now I know how you feel mum.. I know how it feels to be around someone who hurt you deeply in the past¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to be disheartened.. we are all humans and we make mistakes too.. I know sometimes it¡¯s difficult to forgive but we do it either ways¡±¡­

    Amelia took in a deep breath, ¡°Mum.. be honest with me.. does Liam deserves my forgiveness?¡±

    Cecile chuckled which Amelia didn¡¯t find funny at all..

    ¡°Your heart already knows the answer.. Amy do you still love Liam?¡±

    Amelia¡¯s heart skipped a beat, does she still love Liam? was that even a proper question?

    ¡°I still love Liam so much mum.. I never forgot him in any way.. I just wished he had trusted me enough.. then we would have both raised Aidan with a lot of love¡±

    Cecile stroked Amelia¡¯s hair as she wailed out loudly¡­

    .

    Louisa hurriedly walked to the door as soon as the first knock came..

    She opened the door wide opened with a smile etched on her lips, sadly the smile faded off her face as the person came into view..

    ¡°Hie in¡± She said in a calm voice trying to force out a small smile

    Olivia narrowed her eyes at Louisa, she didn¡¯t miss the look of disappointment that crossed Louisa¡¯s face when she saw her¡­

    ¡°Were you expecting someone else?¡±

    Louisa shook her head in denial and led Olivia to the living room..

    They heard a loud bang which startled them and soon after Nora dashed down the stairs¡­

    ¡°Aunt!¡± she cried out before throwing herself into Olivia¡¯s open arms..

    ¡°Awwnn cutie must have missed aunt so much!¡± Olivia nted a small kiss on Nora¡¯s cheek..

    ¡°Did daddye with you?¡±

    Olivia shook her head to see Nora pout, ¡°Awnn don¡¯t look so sad.. daddy couldn¡¯t make it here today.. he had urgent work to do.. but he asked me to take you shopping¡±

    Nora¡¯s eyes rounded, she was going to go shopping..

    ¡°Yay! I¡¯ll go change quickly.. I will be right back!¡±

    Olivia and Louisa smiled as they watch her happily run off..

    Louisa¡¯s smile vanished quickly.. ¡°let me get you something to eat or drink¡±

    Olivia held Louisa back from leaving.. ¡°If I wanted something I would get it myself¡­ but since you asked let¡¯s make something together¡±

    Olivia chopped the vegetables, she noticed Louisa had been sighing for a while now..

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry that I couldn¡¯t make it to Nora¡¯s school the other day¡­ I was a little bit busy¡±

    ¡°oh.. you don¡¯t need to apologize.. her dad was there and so was I¡±

    Olivia nodded ¡°Cute! I didn¡¯t actually believe that he would return back home but I guess I was wrong because he did!¡±

    ¡°Me neither.. Nora seems to love him a little bit more than me..¡±

    Olivia chuckled, that was the sweet rtionship between a father and his daughter¡­

    ¡°You know what they say? daughter¡¯s love their dad a little bit more than their mum¡¯s.. and they are much closer to their dads too so you can¡¯t me Nora¡±

    ¡°She barely knows him and yet I can¡¯t stop her from singing his praises every now and then!¡±

    Olivia¡¯s lips drew into a smile ¡°whenst did you speak with Dn?¡±

    Louisa¡¯s lips parted slightly, she returned back to chopping the vegetables..

    ¡°Yesterday¡± She murmured..

    ¡°Wow!.. he has beening back home a bitte nowadays because of Vanessa¡±

    Louisa¡¯s smile freezed, that name sounded so familiar, a gasp escaped her lips as she suddenly remembered..

    ¡°His receptionist?¡± She asked in surprise to receive a nod from Olivia..

    ¡°Yeah! you nailed it! her family thinks that Dn is still single so they want to set up an alliance¡±

    ¡°What? but he is Nora¡¯s dad and my¡­

    Olivia raised a brow at Louisa¡¯s outburst, that was exactly what she wanted to hear all along..

    ¡°He is your¡­?¡± Olivia asked¡­

    Louisa grabbed a pan and ced it over the cooker¡­

    Olivia turned off the cooker and raised Louisa¡¯s face up with a finger..

    ¡°Go on¡­ I¡¯m all ears.. say it out loud Louisa, your opinion matters to Dn the most¡­ do you just want to be his child¡¯s mother or you also want to be a part of his life?¡±

    Louisa¡¯s mouth opened and closed like a fish in need of water¡­

    ¡°I..¡±

 Chapter 161_ I love you! 1

    Olivia sighed and stared back at Louisa who suddenly went quiet..

    ¡°I came here to tell you this.. Dn will agree to the alliance only if you don¡¯t want anything to do with him¡±

    ¡°He won¡¯t.. he was here yesterday and he told me that I¡­.

    Louisa paused her speech midway¡­ she turned on the tap and ced her hands under the running water..

    ¡°Louisa¡± Olivia called out only to be ignored, she watched Louisa pull off her apron and walked hurriedly out of the kitchen¡­

    She followed suite and saw Louisa picking up her purse..

    ¡°Louisa where are you off to?¡± Olivia called after, the door mmed behind Louisa as she left the house..This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    Nora came down and stood before Olivia ¡°Aunt what do you think about this dress?¡± she asked twirling around..

    Olivia caught Nora¡¯s shoulder to stop her from twirling herself around..

    ¡°You look like a princess in this dress¡± Oliviaplimented with a wink which earned a giggle from Nora¡­

    ¡°But where is mum?¡± Nora asked scanning the living room for any trace of her mum..

    Olivia itched the back of her neck, she would also want to know that..

    ¡°I think she went to get something¡­ however we have the whole day to ourselves to go shopping and look what I got!¡±

    Nora gasped as she stared at the ck card Olivia brought out from her purse¡­

    ¡°Wow.. what does it do?¡± Nora curiously asked as she ogled at the ck card

    ¡°This little thing here is magical¡­ you can get anything you want with it.. and guess who gave it to me¡±

    Nora tapped her chin for a while ¡°Dad?¡±

    ¡°Yup! you nailed it princess!¡±

    ..

    Dn handed a pen drive to his business associates ¡°This contains every little detail you need about the new project¡±

    His assistant bursted through the door and rushed to Dn¡¯s side.. he leaned forward to Dn¡¯s ears mumbling a few words to him¡­

    Dn stood up from his seat and shook hands with the two foreign men in front of him..

    ¡°I will send you an emailter on.. something urgent just popped up¡±

    The two men nodded in understanding and left his office..

    Dn diverted his gaze back to his assistant ¡°What do you mean by ady is making a scene out there? call the security on her¡±

    The lean figured assistant adjusted his sses a bit ¡°Sir you have to take a look for yourself.. I think she is well acquainted with you¡±

    Dn¡¯s brows drew together, who could that possibly be? was it one of his previous girlfriends? or perhaps Olivia? nah! Olivia wouldn¡¯t create a scene¡­

    He rose up to his feet and went out of his office, he was a little surprised to see who thedy was..

    ¡°Lou?¡±

    The security men who were surrounding her parted ways for Dn..

    Louisa red at him walking to him in a slow pace..

    ¡°Why? are you so shocked to see me? do you think that I am here to ruin your little office romance?¡± she scorned and folded her arm under her bossom..

    ¡°Lou what are you talking about? and what are you doing here?¡±

    Dn questioned scanning their surroundings, he took her hands to lead her away..

    She pulled her wrist out of his grip ¡°Don¡¯t touch me you liar!¡±

    Dn was taken aback, he dismissed everyone who was in sight..

    ¡°Lou.. I know that you are upset about something¡±

    ¡°Yes I am! you cheap liar!¡±

    Dn pinched the bridge of his nose releasing a sigh..¡±You¡¯ve been calling me a liar, can I at least know what I lied about?¡±

    ¡°After all the fake pleas you said to me yesterday.. you still want to get married.. and to who exactly? to some stupid irky creature!¡±

    Dn lifted a brow, she sounded like a jealous wife..¡±Lou¡­ who told you this?¡±

    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be worried on how I figured out that you want to get married to Vanessa¡­¡±

    ¡°Oh Vanessa?.. you still remembered her?¡± Dn asked with a chuckle..

    Louisa gaped at him in shock.. he wasn¡¯t denying it which meant that it was true..

    She plunged herself closer to him and started pounding his chest with her fist..

    ¡°You jerk! do you know how this decision of yours is going to affect Nora and I?¡±

    Dn rubbed his chest and shrugged arrogantly ¡°I tried didn¡¯t I? I had to agree to the alliance because you were not ready and besides that.. Vanessa loves me whereas you don¡¯t!¡± He uttered in his defense¡­ he knew Olivia had yed her role in this one¡­

    ¡°She loves you? so? you won¡¯t get married to her Dn!¡±

    Dn folded his arm, he tilted his head to the side to take a proper look at her reddened face¡­

    ¡°Give me one good reason why I shouldn¡¯t get married to her, if it¡¯s valid enough then.. I might have a change of mind¡±

    Louisa swallowed hard ¡°Because you are Nora¡¯s dad!¡±

    Dn¡¯s face fell.. was that all he was to her? he sighed at the end.. he didn¡¯t expect much either¡­

    ¡°Is that all? well that reason isn¡¯t valid enough.. I¡¯m sorry but I have urgent things to do.. by the way you shall receive the first wedding invitation card¡± He said with a smirk and began walking away when she called out to him..

    ¡°It¡¯s not only that Dn!¡±

    Dn swiftly turned to her again ¡°Make it quick.. I don¡¯t have much time¡±

    Louisa gulped down, she bowed her head staring at the flooring..

    Dn nced at his wrist watch, twenty seconds went by without her saying anything else¡­

    ¡°You clearly don¡¯t have anything to say.. so bye!¡±

    He shook his head at her and backed her once more walking away..

    ¡°I love you!¡±

    Dn¡¯s body stiffened when she spoke out.. his eyes almost popped out of its sockets¡­

    He faced her once more ¡°Did you say something?¡±

    Louisa¡¯s face flushed, she avoided his gaze and pushed her loosed strands of hair behind her ears..

    ¡°I.. I love you Dn¡±

    Dn¡¯s jaw dropped in surprise, his heart pounded hard as her voice reyed in his head¡­ She loves him too.. she finally said it, after all these years¡­

    .

    Martha smiled sweetly as she embraced Abby.. ¡°Mum I missed you soooo much¡­ even though you trouble me a lot!¡±

    Martha pulled Abby¡¯s cheeks ¡°You silly girl.. I missed you more¡±

    Abby stopped a servant walking by ¡°Take this up to my room¡­ thanks¡±

    She pulled her mum to the sofa to sit ¡°So mum listen.. I have decided to tell Liam about my engagement to James..¡±

    The smile on Martha¡¯s face vanished ¡°Do you think that he will approve of it?.. look who¡¯s in a hurry to get married now..¡±

    Abby blushed hard ¡°quit the teasing mum! and I¡¯m sure that Liam will approve of it, he understands me too well¡± Abby said cing her hands on Martha¡¯s..

    Martha chuckled ¡°you just got back.. I think you should see James first then Liam¡±

    Abby nodded and nted a quick kiss on Martha¡¯s cheeks..

    ¡°let me freshen up a bit.. gosh! I missed home..¡± Abby eximed¡­

    Aidan smiled at his mum and urged her to make the phone call..

    ¡°Please do it mummy.. I promise it will be very quick¡±

    Amelia nodded and ced the phone to her ear, it rang for a few seconds before it was answered..

    ¡°Hello¡±

    Amelia cringed from his deep masculine voice, she handed the phone to Aidan..

    ¡°Aidan.. your dad¡±

    She called out handing the phone over to him which he happily epted¡­

    ¡°Hello daddy¡±

    Liam sat up from his seat on hearing Aidan¡¯s voice, hearing the word ¡®daddy¡¯ from Aidan¡¯s mouth caused some weird bubbly feelings in him..

    ¡°Oh it¡¯s you Aidan.. how are you?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m good but mummy isn¡¯t¡±

    The smile on Amelia¡¯s face disappeared, she tried to snatch the phone but Aidan dodged her¡­.

    ¡°What happened to your mum? is she alright?¡± Liam inquired rising up to his feet¡­

    ¡°Nope she is not¡­ I heard her speaking to grandma earlier that she was missing you a lot¡±

    Amelia¡¯s eyes rounded, she caught up with him and snatched the phone away from him..

    ¡°Ignore what he said.. he is telling lies¡± Amelia stuttered pacing around..

    ¡°No I¡¯m not! I also heard you crying out¡± Aidan retorted..

    Amelia pt her forehead, she heard a chuckleing from the other end¡­

    ¡°You find this amusing Mr Arrogant? actually that never happened.. Aidan is telling lies¡±

    ¡°Hmm¡­ I think I know who the liar is here Amelia¡± Liam teased¡­

 Chapter 162_ I love you! 2

    Louisa swallowed hard as Dn turned back to her, she bit her lower lips avoiding his intense gaze on her..

    ¡°Say that one more time¡±

    Louisa raised her head, doesn¡¯t he know how hard this was for her? her face turned red..

    ¡°I.. said.. I love you¡± She stuttered staring at his face, in the next second she was pulled into a tight embrace by dn¡­

    ¡°You have no idea of how long I¡¯ve been waiting for you to say that..¡±

    Louisa buried her face on his chest inhaling his masculine scent..

    Dn pulled away from her back a little bit when he heard her small sobs¡­

    ¡°Louisa are you okay?¡±

    Louisa nodded her head and wiped her face with her sleeves..

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry Dn for everything I made you go through¡­¡±

    Dn wiped away the fresh years that rolled down her cheeks with his hand..

    ¡°Please don¡¯t cry anymore because of that..¡±

    ¡°But I..

    Dn imed her lips in his, he didn¡¯t want her ming herself for everything¡­

    Her love was more than enough for him, he was already ready to start afresh with her and their daughter¡­

    .

    Amelia bit her fingers as she listened to hisughter over the phone.. he found this very amusing.

    ¡°Aidan is a child, I¡¯m sure he didn¡¯t hear what my mum and I were discussing¡±

    Liam stroked his chin staring out of the floor to ceiling window in his office..

    ¡°Stop trying to hide the fact that you are still so obsessed with me.. I can read through you¡±

    Amelia squinted her eyes, obsessed? ¡°Stop thinking highly of yourself, I don¡¯t even remember your name anymore.. so what makes you think that I¡¯m obsessed with you?¡±

    ¡°mummy but you told me that daddy¡¯s name is Liam have you forgotten? you always write that name on papers when you are less busy and sometimes on my home¡­ ¡±

    Amelia mped his mouth shut with her palm, he might look like his dad but he definitely got his talkative nature from her¡­

    ¡°Well¡­ I have to go now.. I¡¯m busy in the kitchen¡±

    ¡°The cooks already made breakfast mummy¡± Aidan muffled into her palm.

    Amelia disconnected the call before Aidan bs all her secret to Liam¡­

    Meanwhile¡­ Liam smiled at the other end as he stared at his phone¡­ ¡°Crazy¡± he murmured and returned back to his seat..

    Amelia blushed hard in embarrassment at what happened a while ago shed back into her head¡­

    ¡°You owe me a thank you¡±

    Amelia snapped her head to him, of course! he was the main reason for her embarrassment and now he was asking for a thank you!.

    ¡°Thank you?¡± Amelia asked back in disbelief, thank you for what exactly? for making her look desperate in the eyes of Liam..

    ¡°You are wee¡± Aidan replied back and walked away from the room..

    Amelia threw herself on the bed, this father and and son will make her go mad one day with their arrogance..

    ¡°I¡¯m sure Mr Arrogant must be happy now.. Aidan . made me look like a desperatedy¡±

    She pulled a pillow over her face and screamed into it¡­.

    .

    Abby opened the door hurriedly to James office, she hadn¡¯t informed him of her arrival yet¡­

    However her feet glued to the ground when she saw his female assistant leaning beside him¡­

    They were both focused on theptop to notice her arrival.. but that wasn¡¯t the annoying part.. what annoyed her was the way thedy was dressed..

    She was putting on a white shirt with the first three top buttons open, which exposed the top of her cleavages and her ck skirt that glued to her body which barely reached her knee.

    And as for James, the dummy doesn¡¯t know what thedy¡¯s motives were..

    Abby marched straight to the table and closed theptop shut..

    The two raised their heads up to meet her deadly re..

    ¡°Abby?¡±

    Abby¡¯s gaze rested on thedy who was now feeling ufortable..

    ¡°Are you here to work? or to seduce your boss?¡±

    James raised a brow, he took a quick nce at his assistant beside him and that was when he noticed her outfit¡­

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry ma¡¯am¡± thedy apologized and hurried out of the office¡­

    James jerked up to his feet, he went around the table and pulled Abby to himself..

    ¡°What a surprise Abby you could have informed me¡±This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    Abby wriggled herself away from his embrace ¡°Don¡¯t pretend that you are happy to see me, go on.. spend all your time with your assistant!¡±

    ¡°Ohe on.. I swear I didn¡¯t notice her outfit at all..¡±

    Abby scoffed out loudly ¡°Hearing that from you is even more unbelievable..¡±

    James rubbed his temples, they just met after two long years and she was already suspecting him so much..

    ¡°Abby.. don¡¯t start now.. please¡± he pleaded taking her hands in his¡­

    Abby smiled at him and hugged him tightly ¡°I missed you James¡±

    She pulled back from him and stood on her toes, she nted a kiss on his lips..

    ¡°I think it¡¯s time you speak to Liam concerning us¡± Abby said in between kisses..

    James heart pounded hard, he could even hear his racing heart beats¡­ Liam was his friend but he was a bit nervous to talk to him concerning his engagement to Abby..

    Abby rubbed his chest with her palm to ease him, she noticed the difort look on his face..

    ¡°trust me it will be okay.. Liam isn¡¯t that scary like you deem him to be after all he is your friend¡±

    James sighed and nodded maybe it was time that he man up and talk to Liam about this¡­

    ¡°Okay.. I will speak to him about it tomorrow¡±

    Abby pushed him backwards slowly until he fell on the couch in the office..

    ¡°And in the meantime let¡¯s have this moment to ourselves¡±

    ..

    Amelia came out of her room, earlier a servant came to inform her of a guest..

    She heard a girly chuckle and instantly knew that it must be Louisa and Nora..

    However when she reached the living room, she noticed how everywhere was oddly quiet, everyone sat still as if they were mourning..

    ¡°Is everything wrong?¡±

    ¡°Big sis!¡±

    Before Amelia could react, Chloe threw herself at her..

    ¡°Chloe you? how did you get here?¡±

    ¡°Daddy brought her¡± Aidan chirmed in, she turned her gaze to him and that was when she noticed the other person in the room..

    A gasp escaped her lips, what was he doing here? now she understood why everywhere was quiet.. no one wanted to annoy him by speaking..

    Liam stroked Aidan¡¯s hair and helped him get off hisps..

    Aidan ran to Amelia waving a car key in front of her..

    ¡°Look mummy.. daddy bought a car for me¡±

    Amelia reverted her gaze from Aidan to Liam who had a devilish smirk on his lips..

    ¡°Mum.. Karl, why did you let him in?¡±

    Karl and Cecile exchanged weird nces itching their head..

    ¡°Well you see.. we called him over because you¡¯ve been indoors for a while now¡± Cecile exined..

    Amelia¡¯s eyes rounded when she heard the weird exnation..

    ¡°Mum!¡±

    ¡°We didn¡¯t want you to die of depression.. so we called him over to give you somepany¡± Karl added..

    Amelia pulled her hair, today everyone were tattling out her feelings shamelessly..

    First it was Aidan, now it¡¯s Karl and her mum.. she didn¡¯t miss the smile that was growing on Liam¡¯s face by the minutes¡­

    ¡°You don¡¯t need to be a drama queen everytime..¡± Liam spoke out which earned him a re from Amelia¡­

    He rose up to his feet and stood in front of her ¡°We need to talk¡±

    Without waiting for her response, he held her arm leading her out of the room¡­

    As soon as they left a round ofughter followed, ¡°daddy got me a car.. I can¡¯t wait to drive it around the city¡±

    ¡°Karl! when are you going to gift our baby a car?!¡± ra blurted out¡­

    Karl massaged his head, ra can be ridiculous at times..

    ¡°At least wait for the baby to be born ra.. you try to look for ways to paint me as a bad dad¡± Karl argued..

    ¡°Of course you are!¡±

    ..

    Liam mmed the door to Amelia¡¯s door closed and pinned her against it..

    ¡°Everyone tattled on you.. let go of your ego and say that you love me too and stop being difficult on yourself¡±

    ¡°I guess they were all lying to you¡± Amelia retorted back..

    ¡°How about I find out myself!¡±

 Chapter 163_ I love you! 3

    Amelia gasped softly when Liam suddenly pulled her forward to him..

    His hands settled on her waist while his eyes locked with hers..

    ¡°Liam let go..¡±

    ¡°I want to hear you say that you love me¡± Liam whispered into her ears sending shivers down her spine.. she gripped onto his arm for support when she felt her knees weaken..

    Amelia heaved deep breaths when he nted small kisses on her neck, he left her slender fair neck and took her lips in his..

    ¡°Just say it¡± He murmured in between kisses, Amelia¡¯s hands found its way to caress his hair¡­

    He lifted her off the ground and her legs went around his waist..

    ¡°Liam put me down¡±

    Liam ignored her tantrums and moved to the direction of the bed, he gentlyid her down on the bed..

    He pulled off his coat and loosened his ck tie a bit before taking a seat on the sofa adjacent to the bed..

    Amelia sat up hurriedly.. she blinked severally at Liam who had a grin on his lips..

    Liam raised a brow at her ¡°What? were you expecting something else?¡± he chuckled..

    Amelia got down from the bed and stood in front of him..

    ¡°You are heartless! and cruel!¡± She sted, her chest heaving up and down..

    Liam shrugged and rxed back in his sitting position, ¡°How am I heartless and cruel? I told you a while ago that we needed to talk, so what were you expecting?¡± he mouthed wiggling his eyebrows at her..

    Amelia reverted her gaze away from him folding her arm..

    ¡°I have nothing to say to you!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m sure you have a lot to say¡­ like how much you have missed me¡±

    Amelia faced him once more ¡°Look Liam I know my brother and my mum called you here.. but you have to know that I really don¡¯t want to be part of your life anymore¡±

    Liam sighed and rose up to his feet, he inserted both of his hands into his pockets..

    ¡°Well you don¡¯t have to actuallye back because I¡¯m leaving the country for good with my mum, dad, Chloe and Aidan¡±

    Amelia snapped her head back to him ¡°What? I¡­ meant¡­.. yay! good riddance¡­ and no! Aidan won¡¯t go with you¡±

    ¡°he is my son after all.. and I feel it¡¯s really necessary to leave because I might find a suitabledy for myself and also as Aidan¡¯s stepmom¡±

    Amelia pushed him back down to the sofa.. ¡°Find a suitabledy and get Aidan a stepmom?! I¡¯m not dead yet!¡± she blurted out..

    Liam¡¯s lips pulled upwards into a smirk ¡°But you don¡¯t love me anymore.. that¡¯s the main reason I want to move on with my life¡­ don¡¯t worry you can drop by once or twice in a year for a visit¡±

    Amelia walked to the bed and grabbed two pillows¡­

    ¡°So you want to get a gooddy to be your wife and Aidan¡¯s stepmom¡­¡±

    She swiped the pillow at him¡­¡±And then you can toss me aside like I¡¯m nothing!¡±

    She barked and hit the pillow against him once more..

    Liam caught the pillow before it hits him for the third time..

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing to be jealous about! I¡¯m sure she will love me more¡± Liam added..

    Amelia threw down the pillows and grabbed his cor¡­

    ¡°Liam Grayson.. have you forgotten that you have only one woman in your life? you think I will let you leave so easily?!¡±

    Liam¡¯s two hands went to the back of his head, this wasn¡¯t the reply he was expecting to hear..

    ¡°Is that all? I have a lot of things to do at the office¡±

    ¡°You cannot rece me with some other woman Liam.. and as for Aidan.. he won¡¯t get a stepmom¡±

    Liam yawned dryly and pulled her hands off his cor..

    ¡°So in other words.. you want to be my wife but how am I certain that you won¡¯t leave me at the end? I mean Aidan still needs a mum¡±

    Amelia ced her palm over his lips to stop him from speaking further.. that was enough torture for one day already..

    She couldn¡¯t picture Liam and Aidan with anotherdy other than her..

    ¡°I¡¯m not the one who leaves tasks iplete¡­ I make sure to finish them.. you should know that by now!¡±

    Liam scoffed ¡°Not convincing enough.. I need something like an assurance that you will always be there for me¡± he murmured..

    ¡°what if I said that I¡¯m not willing to part yet with you because I love you!¡±

    Liam got up from the sofa¡­ he was damn speechless..

    ¡°What did you just say?¡±

    ¡°Will you still pretend that you didn¡¯t actually hear anything?¡±

    Liam pulled her into his arms, she ced her head against his hard chest while he stroked her hair gently with his eyes shut¡­ this felt like a dreame true to him..

    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry for being an idiot all those years ago Amelia¡­ please forgive me.. I give you my word this time not to hurt you.. I promise¡±

    ¡°Awnnn¡±

    The two pulled away from each other and averted their gaze to the door..

    Amelia ced a finger on her lips and walked in light steps to the door, she pulled the door opened and immediately ra stumbled forward into the room..

    Amelia caught her back from falling¡­ ¡°ra? and all of you! how shameless¡­ I don¡¯t have my privacy anymore!¡±

    ra¡¯s face flushed in embarrassment, she shed a toothy smile as she stared at Liam¡¯s indifferent face.. she pouted her lips and sent Amelia an apologetic look..

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Amelia actually it was Karl¡¯s fault! I didn¡¯t want to eavesdrop but he forced me to!¡±

    Karl gasped in disbelief, why was he the main target everytime something didn¡¯t go her way¡­ he turned towards Cecile..

    ¡°Mum Cecile please be honest who brought us here in the first ce?¡±

    Amelia touched her forehead and closed the door before turning back to Liam¡­

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry you had to witness that!¡±

    Liam took her hands in his ¡°Nah I don¡¯t mind, Amelia you and Aidan will always have a special ce in my heart¡­ will you return back home with me?¡±

    Amelia itched her head, she would love to but her contract marriage with Liam was over..

    ¡°Liam.. yes i will definitely return back home with you. but..¡±

    Liam lifted her up and twirled her around, he didn¡¯t want to listen to her buts..

    ¡°No buts! you said yes and I¡¯m not taking no for an answer!¡±

    ..

    Cecile pulled Liam in for a warm hug..¡±I¡¯m so d that Amelia forgave you¡±

    ¡°yeah me too.. but I really want to apologize to you mum Cecile about how I misunderstood your daughter thereby hurting your feelings in the process¡±

    Cecile touched his shoulder and smiled ¡°Parents can¡¯t hate their kids or stay mad at them for so long and you are more than a son to me..¡±

    Cecile gave way when she saw Anthony approaching..

    ¡°Mr Grayson¡­¡±

    Liam smiled and epted Anthony¡¯s handshake ¡°I think Liam is okay¡­ let¡¯s not be formal¡±

    Anthony nodded and led Liam slowly away ¡°So this is the first time that we are speaking one on one¡±

    Liam smiled in return ¡°Well that was because Amelia never introduced you to me..¡±

    Anthony stopped walking and faced Liam ¡°Amelia is my only daughter.. since she chose you.. I trust her decision..¡±

    Liam caught sight of Amelia happily chatting away with Chloe and Aidan..

    ¡°I promise not to let you down.. how about dinner at my ce? it would also be an opportunity for the two families to get well acquainted what do you say?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s an honour.. to dine with the Grayson¡¯s¡±

    Karl patted Liam¡¯s shoulders ¡°I believe we had a bad start.. we can always make a new beginning¡±

    ¡°Sure¡±

    Amelia met his gaze and grinned from ear to ear.. her ears reddened when he blew a kiss to her..

    ¡°Mummy.. don¡¯t you think daddy is the most handsome man you have ever seen?¡±

    Amelia sighed and nodded ¡°Oh.. and what about me?¡± Amelia fixed her hair hoping to get a praise from her son too..All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.

    Aidan rolled his eyes ¡°This is daddy¡¯s moment not yours!¡± he scolded..

 Chapter 164_ The happiness we deserve 1

    Ameliaid down on her bed and turned off the bedsidemp off.. she stared at the ceilings for a long time with a smile on her lips..

    A knock came on her window which startled her out of her thoughts.. she came down slowly from the bed..

    ¡°What if that is actually a thief?¡­¡± Her eyes found its way to the shelf a few steps away from her..

    She tiptoed to it and grabbed the flower vase on the shelf..

    ¡°I will teach that thief the lesson he deserves!¡± she murmured and returned back to the window¡­

    The knock came again but this time hurriedly which jerked her out..

    She raised the ceramic vase above her head ready to strike as she opened the window..

    ¡°Thief!¡±

    Arge palm covered her mouth to stop her from screaming¡­

    ¡°Shh it¡¯s me!¡±

    Amelia heard the familiar male¡¯s voice and turned on the bedsidemp..

    ¡°You! it¡¯s sote already! and why didn¡¯t you use the front door like a normal person?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not a normal person and besides that I love this new way ofing into your roomte at night¡± Liam shamelessly whispered into her ears..

    A hurried knock came on the door, Amelia swallowed hard.. she must have alerted them when she yelled out earlier..

    ¡°Liam.. don¡¯t make a sound¡±

    Amelia inhaled deeply and walked to the door.. she opened her door to meet everyone standing with a worried look..

    ¡°Amy are you alright?¡± Anthony asked worriedly trying to take a look into the room..

    Ameliaughed out dryly ¡°Yeah I am.. and why are you all here I¡¯m pretty sure it¡¯s past eleven¡±

    Karl and Cecile released a sigh, they were all worried when they heard her scream thief..

    ¡°We clearly heard you calling out thief a while ago.. move aside¡±

    Amelia stood in front of the door blocking Karl¡¯s path..¡±You all worry too much.. I wasn¡¯t screaming for help.. it was actually for a y..¡±

    ¡°You said that two days ago Amelia¡± ra inputted in her drowsy state¡­.

    ¡°Well¡­ yeah¡­ that part was cut off because I didn¡¯t get the screaming part well enough.. so I¡¯m training my vocals to scream even louder¡±

    Cecile massaged her head and walked away.. this was a huge waste of time.. Amelia shed them a weird smile before they left..

    She puffed her cheeks with air before realeasing it with a sigh..

    She closed the door and turned back to the room but Liam was not in sight..

    ¡°Liam where are you? I know that you are in here¡± She whispered searching for him¡­

    Her eyes darted to the slightly opened window..¡±So he left!.. why did he show up then?!¡± She murmured angrily andid back on her bed..

    She closed her eyes to sleep and just then she felt the other part of the bed sank¡­

    ¡°Were you upset that I had left?¡± Liam whispered into her ears and pulled her close enough to him¡­

    ¡°Kind of¡­ and why are you here sote at night?..¡±

    Liam nted small kisses on her lips ¡°I couldn¡¯t fall asleep so I came here to have a sleepover, I hope I¡¯m not intruding your personal space?¡±

    Amelia tilted her neck to the side as he trailed the nape of her neck with kisses..

    ¡°Of course you are!¡±

    Liam chuckled and hovered over her ¡°We have plenty of time to give Aidan a sister before the day breaks¡±

    Before Amelia could digest his words, Liam pounced on her like a starving lion¡­

    .

    Amelia snapped her eyes open when she heard a knock on her door..

    She turned to her side to see Liam still asleep, reaching for her phone she gasped..

    ¡°it¡¯s 10:30 am already?¡±

    She took his arm off her waist and picked her nighties off the ground..

    A groan escaped her lips¡­ ¡°You monster! are you happy now?, I can barely walk!¡±

    She dawned on her clothes and walked hastily to the door..

    ¡°Hey mum.. good morning¡±

    Cecile sighed and handed the breakfast tray to Amelia¡­

    ¡°You missed breakfast so I brought some for you¡±

    Amelia smiled ¡± Thanks mum.. I¡¯m sorry I woke upte¡±

    Cecile raised a brow as her eyes settled on Amelia¡¯s neck¡­¡±Hmm.. looks to me like you had a good time alone with the thief¡±

    Amelia¡¯s lips parted to speak but seeing her mum¡¯s teasing smile only made her cheeks reddened¡­

    ¡°Okay thanks for the meal¡­¡± She closed the door and walked to the bed with the tray¡­

    ¡°Liam.. breakfast is here!¡±

    Liam groaned out and pulled her back next to him..¡±I have my breakfast here with me.. I don¡¯t need anymore breakfast other than you¡±

    Amelia wriggled her way out of his grip ¡°Oh no you don¡¯t!..¡±

    Liam sat up and ran his fingers through his messy hair..

    ¡°please¡± he pleaded..

    Amelia picked a toast from the tray and pushed it into his mouth¡­

    ¡°You should be at the office.. it¡¯s almost eleven am.. and mum knows that you are here¡±

    ¡°Hmm¡­ I¡¯m the boss and I can go at anytime I want.. so.. how about we start from where we finishedst night¡±

    Liam took the tray away from the bed before turning to her..

    ¡°Liam.. everyone is awake.. let go¡±

    Liam pinned her down under him ¡°I¡¯ve been starving for five whole years¡­ I promised myself to drain you outpletely if you ever came back¡±

    ..

    Liam entered his office, he wasn¡¯t surprised to see his nose poking friends present there..

    ¡°Hey man!¡±All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.

    Liam walked around the table to his seat, he shed them a smile which they found weird¡­

    ¡°Is something on my face?¡± Liam asked swirling around on his seat..

    ¡°Not really.. you are behaving just like him¡± Steven mumbled pointing at Dn..

    James squinted his eyes at the two who had a never ending smile on their faces..

    ¡°Did Louisa and Amelia forgive you both?¡± James inquired..

    Liam and Dn nodded with a smile ¡°Yeah Louisa did and also confessed her feelings to me¡±

    James and Steven eyes rounded in surprise..¡±Wow that was fast and what about you Liam?¡±

    ¡°Dinner at my house today..¡±

    ..

    Liam paced around the room impatiently as he waited for Amelia and her family to arrive..

    ¡°Liam rx.. she will be here soon¡± Brianna said reaching her arm out to him..

    ¡°But mum¡­.

    ¡°Shhh¡­ your friends are here so I think you should go keep thempany¡±

    ¡°Hey Liam..e over here¡± Dn called out..

    Liam sighed and moved to where they were.. He snatched the ss from James and dawned its content in one go..

    ¡°Who knows why thedies are taking so long toe¡± Dn uttered taking a sip out of his ss..

    ¡°Hmm.. Abby is here¡± Liam pointed out to Abby who just came in..

    James gulped and pushed the bottle of wine far away from his reach.. if she sees that she will definitely kill him..

    He saw hering towards them and his heart skipped a beat..

    ¡°Hello guys..¡± she waved at them, her eyes rested on James for a brief second before she embraced Liam¡­

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯te to see you as soon as I returned.. I hope you are not upset with me?¡±

    Liam tapped her chin ¡°Silly.. what makes you think that I will be upset with you?¡±

    Abby smiled at Liam before turning to James ¡°That reminds me.. you once told me that you wanted to talk to liam about something important!¡± she said through clenched teeth..

    James was taken by surprise at her outburst, he felt Liam¡¯s gaze on him..

    ¡°Yeah I wanted to tell you something Liam..¡±

    Liam stood up from his seat when he saw Amelia walked in with Aidan followed by the rest of her family¡­

    Amelia¡¯s eyes scanned the whole living room until she spotted him with his friends¡­.

 Chapter 165_ The happiness we deserve 2

    Liam smiled at Amelia as she approached him.. just when he was about to pull her into a hug..

    Aidan came in between and hugged him instead ¡°Daddy¡±

    Liam lifted Aidan up in his arms ¡°Hey champ! how are you?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m so excited to be here again.. and we also came in the car you got for me¡±

    Dn took a nce at his wrist watch and sighed, Louisa and Nora haven¡¯t arrived yet¡­

    ¡°Look at that.. now there¡¯s a third wheel between them¡± Steven jested which earned aughter from them all..

    Liam ced Aidan down just as he wished, ¡°Did you doll up just for me?¡± Liam whispered to Amelia..

    Amelia rolled her eyes.. and pulled out a seat for herself..

    ¡°What do you think?¡±

    Soon after they all began filling the empty spaces on the long dining table¡­

    Brianna took a seat next to Cecile.. it¡¯s been so long since they saw and chatted heartily with each other..

    ¡°Cecile I hope you are no longer upset with Liam for what he did.. if you still are.. I beg of you to forgive him¡±

    Cecile touched Brianna¡¯s hands resting on herps..

    ¡°Liam is like a son to me.. and I can¡¯t stay mad at my son for so long¡±

    The cooks started filling the table with mouth watering dishes..

    ra inhaled the air and licked her lower lips ¡°Karl I feel like I¡¯m going to die if I don¡¯t eat prawns¡±

    Karl¡¯s gaze trailed the long table in search of prawns..

    ¡°Where exactly did you see prawns? please don¡¯t start your weird cravings here.. you can have lobsters instead¡±

    ra frowned and threw her face to the other side ¡°More reasons our baby won¡¯t look like you¡±

    Abby shot James a look across the table which made him choke..

    She grabbed her phone and went through it for a while before cing it down.. and almost immediately James phone beeped¡­

    He picked it up and read the text which she just sent to him.. ¡®Tell him! or I will¡¯

    ¡°Abby is anything wrong?¡±

    Abby snapped her attention to Liam and shook her head.. Liam studied her facial expression for a while and then to James..

    ¡°I hope he isn¡¯t troubling you?¡±

    James shed Liam a smile.. ¡°Not at all Liam..¡± he answered quickly before Abby blurt out everything to him..

    Dn raised his phone to his ear.. he wanted to be sure if Louisa and Nora could make it tonight.. However he heard her ringtone around the dining room..

    ¡°Louisa.. good thing that you could make it..e take a seat next to me¡± Amelia ushered..

    Louisa walked into dining room and happily walked around the table.. she sat down next to Amelia and exchanged pleasantries with everyone..

    ¡°we were stucked in traffic¡± Louisa murmured squeezing Amelia¡¯s hand..

    ¡°Oh.. well you are here now.. so do you have anything to say to me? like something that happened recently?¡± Amelia said teasingly..

    Louisa¡¯s gaze rested on Dn who was happily chatting away with Nora..

    ¡°Yeah.. Dn and I made up¡±

    Amelia ced a hand on Louisa¡¯sps ¡°Liam and I also made up¡­ I think this is the happiness we deserve..¡±

    Louisa smiled in return, she felt a gaze on hering from across the table, she slowly lifted her head up to meet Dn¡¯s teasing smile..

    James suddenly stood up when he couldn¡¯t bear Abby¡¯s threatening gaze anymore.. he excused himself and left the dining¡­

    Abby dropped her cutlery and stood up also ¡°Please excuse me.. I have an urgent call from my doctor¡±

    Liam stared at her back hurrying out.. he stared at James empty seat and then to Abby¡­ he felt something was wrong.

    ¡°Daddy I want that¡± Aidan pointed pulling Liam out of his thoughts¡­

    .

    Abby snatched the cigarette from James and threw it down..

    ¡°You coward! you came out to smoke! isn¡¯t Liam your friend? why are you scared to talk to him about us?¡±

    James turned to her with a sigh ¡°That¡¯s the point Abby.. Liam is my friend.. I¡¯ve known him since we were kids.. and I don¡¯t want to ruin our friendship.. what if he gets mad when he finds out the truth?¡±

    Abby pushed him to the wall ¡°So you are going to keep mute about it? Liam will also understand after all he loves Amelia..¡±

    James pinched the space between his brows, how on earth could he exin things to Abby? Liam¡¯s anger was like a ticking time bomb and he didn¡¯t want to witness him erupt..

    ¡°Abby.. please understand my situation.. Liam will murder me once he finds out that I¡¯m interested in his cousin sister¡±

    ¡°Oh.. really?.. then watch me tell him myself!¡±

    She turned around and left the hallway, James ran after her to stop her¡­

    .

    Abby returned back to the dining room and sat down.. James also came in and sent an apologetic look to her..

    ¡°Is there something that I¡¯m not aware of?¡± Liam suddenly spoke rendering the room silent¡­

    Abby casted a look at James whoter sighed ¡°Yes Liam¡± he murmured..

    Liam¡¯s whole attention was fixed on James and whatever he had to say..

    ¡°Actually Liam.. I¡¯m in a serious rtionship¡±

    Liam raised a brow, that was actually very surprising to him.. He had always known James to be a yboy but hearing the word ¡®serious rtionship¡¯ from him was really shocking..

    ¡°Wow.. great.. I almost can¡¯t believe it and who is this unlucky girl?¡± Liam teased..

    James met Abby¡¯s gaze for a brief second ¡°Abby!¡±

    A gasp escaped from everyone¡¯s lips except Liam who still had an indifferent look on his face..This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

    ¡°Abby? which Abby?¡±

    ¡°Your cousin sister¡±

    Liam spranged up to his feet and walked around the table..

    He pulled James up from his seat threw a punch directly at his face..

    ¡°Hey Liam! back off!¡± Dn yelled out holding Liam from attacking James any further..

    ¡°Do you think Abby is one of those girls who you have a stand with? she is my sister!¡± Liam barked out..

    ¡°Don¡¯t hurt him Liam.. I¡¯m sorry it was my fault I pressured him so much.. James isn¡¯t like that anymore.. he is actually my fiance.. we got engaged three years ago¡±

    Liam¡¯s lips parted in unbelief.. His gaze went back to James..

    ¡°Fiance? Abby don¡¯t tell me you already agreed to marry him.. or did your mum force you into it? and why am I just knowing this?!¡±

    Abby shook her head ¡°No Liam.. this was my decision.. I¡¯m sorry we didn¡¯t inform you sooner¡±

    ¡°Liam.. you don¡¯t need to be upset.. you should be happy for Abby.. she actually told me about her liking to James few years back¡± Amelia added¡­

    Liam¡¯s anger subsided a bit, but he couldn¡¯t believe the fact that James was Abby¡¯s fiance..

    Dn chuckled.. this was amusing to him, who would have thought that James would end up with Abby and that too.. Liam¡¯s family..

    ¡°Dude.. you just have to ept your new fate.. you got James as an inw..¡±

    Liam touched James shoulder giving it a tight squeeze¡­ ¡°If you dare try to hurt her in any way.. then I will make you pay dearly¡± Liam threatened..

    James pulled Liam in for a bro hug ¡°I give you my word Liam..¡±

    Steven stood up and turned to Dn who wasughing his heart out at the thought of James and Liam bing iws..

    ¡°Dn.. I think you should know about this too¡­ I love Olivia¡±

    Amelia took a bite out of her fork, things were only getting interesting by the seconds..

    Louisa gasped and turned to Dn who was about to burst out..

    ¡°What?!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ve been seeing each other for the past one year¡±

    Dn¡¯s lips parted in disbelief.. just why? why does it have to be them?

    ¡°My sister? for a year?¡± he muttered through clenched teeth..

    He took a step forward only to be held back by Liam.. ¡°Let it go dude.. he is now your brother inw¡± Liam chuckled copying what Dn said earlier¡­

 Chapter 166_ The proposal 1

    Dn¡¯s hands turned into tight fists as he stared at Steven.. ¡°I don¡¯t ept it Liam.. I¡¯ve seen this guy break girls heart like they mean nothing to him.. and he actually came for my sister?!¡±

    ¡°Dn.. I can say that about you too.. you know?¡±

    Dn averted his gaze back to Louisa who just spoke.

    ¡°Are you actuallyparing me to this guy Lou?¡±

    Louisa sighed and stood up, she walked around the table and stood in front of him..

    ¡°You were once like them.. but you changed, that doesn¡¯t mean they can¡¯t change also.. I¡¯m also someone¡¯s sister.. haven¡¯t that thought crossed your mind yet?¡±

    Dn fixed his gaze on her, he fell into a deep thought digesting each words she said..

    ¡°I guess you are right¡± he murmured before turning to Steven¡­

    ¡°And you listen! I hope you are not nning to dump her because if you do.. I wille for your head!¡±

    Steven chuckled and embraced Dn ¡°I¡¯m actually serious with her¡±

    Brianna stood up and apuded ¡°Wow.. that was epic.. these four friends are quite something.. anyways we should give a toast!¡±

    James dashed to Brianna and guided her back to her seat..

    ¡°Aunt.. this is my thing okay? just rx back¡±

    Everyone had a heartyugh as they had their meals¡­.

    .

    Amelia stopped walking and faced Liam who had been quiet since she declined his offer to stay back for tonight¡­

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to be upset about it Liam..¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not so mad about it because I know how toe to you whenever I miss you or when I can¡¯t fall asleep¡­¡±

    Amelia stood on her toes and nted a quick kiss on his lips..

    ¡°By being a thief? when are you going to grow up Mr Arrogant?¡±

    ¡°Wow.. I can¡¯t believe I still go by that name¡±

    Amelia heard the sound of the car¡¯s door closing taking it as her cue to leave..

    ¡°So this is goodnight?¡±

    ¡°Yeah I guess so.. it was a wonderful time with everyone today and especially you..¡±

    The car¡¯s ss whined down ¡°Mummy do we really have to leave tonight?¡±

    Amelia blew Aidan a kiss and turned back to Liam ¡°Goodnight¡± she whispered and nted a kiss on his left cheeks before hurrying to the car¡­

    ¡°See you tomorrow daddy¡± Aidan waved as the car moved away slowly¡­

    .

    ¡°When are you nning to move back in with Liam?¡±

    Amelia broke out from her thoughts and she faced her mum..

    ¡°Mum.. Liam and I don¡¯t actually share a rtionship as of now.. so I guess when we..

    ¡°Get married?¡±

    Amelia nodded and stared out of the moving car, she actually wanted to remind Liam about their contract marriage which was over but her mouth just kept mute the whole time..All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.

    ¡°Whichever way.. I trust your decision this time¡­ I don¡¯t want Aidan to stay away from his dad either, so you and Liam should work things out quickly..¡±

    Louisa stared out of the car to examine her surroundings..

    ¡°Wow.. I love it daddy¡± Nora eximed in excitement as her face glued to the ss¡­

    Dn patted Nora¡¯s head and stepped out of the car.. he walked around to the other side and opened the door for Louisa..

    ¡°Hmm.. trying to be a gentleman¡± Louisa teased, taking his hand which he offered..

    ¡°Olivia showed me a picture of this house.. if I¡¯m right it¡¯s yours¡±

    Dn nodded and opened the backseat for Nora to step out¡­

    ¡°Thanks daddy..¡±

    ¡°So you brought us here.. instead of our house..

    Dn ced a finger on Louisa¡¯s lips to stop her from speaking..

    ¡°My parents gave you that house.. only out of pity because you were carrying my child back then.. but this here is our new home.. which is filled with lots of love and happiness¡±

    ¡°Daddy can we go in now?¡± Nora bounced up and down tugging Dn¡¯s shirt..

    Dn nudged Nora forward ¡°Go on in.. we will be there with you shortly¡±

    Nora obliged and dashed into the building¡­

    ¡°I know what must be going on in your mind now.. our engagement was only a joke at that time that my parents and sister nned out.. but now..¡±

    Louisa felt the air around her cease as Dn¡¯s eyes locked with hers..

    The air was still and there was a soft breeze blowing. Dn closed the gap between he and louisa and took her hands in his.

    He looked into her eyes and whispered, ¡°You¡¯ve made me the happiest man in the world by epting me back into your life¡±

    Louisa smiled biting on her bottom lips, she maintained eye contact with him¡­

    Dn reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box.

    He went on one kneel and opened the box to reveal a beautiful diamond ring, Louisa gasped and ced her hand to her mouth in surprise, she didn¡¯t mentally prepare herself for this tonight¡­

    ¡°And that¡¯s why I want to make things official between us.. Louisa will you marry me?¡±..

    Louisa could feel her heart pounding and racing at the same time¡­ her eyes sting a bit, she stretched her left hand to him and nodded¡­

    ¡°Yes.. I will marry you Dn¡±

    Dn sighed in relief with a wide smile, he pulled out the ring from its box and gently slipped it on her finger.

    Louisa looked at the ring and then back at dn, her eyes shone brightly with happiness. ¡°It¡¯s perfect, I love it! and I love you¡± she said and leaned in to kiss him.

    The couple held each other close, knowing that this was just the beginning of their journey together. The rest of their lives will be filled with love, happiness, andughter.

    ¡°I love you more¡±

    ..

    Amelia ogled at Louisa¡¯s finger feeling a bit envious ¡°Wow.. it¡¯s beautiful.. Dn is quite romantic you know.. I¡¯m so jealous of you Louisa¡±

    Louisa blushed and sipped her juice, she nced around before leaning forward to Amelia..

    ¡°How about you and Liam?¡± Louisa whispered

    Amelia released a deep breath ¡°Liam sneaks into my room at nights like a thief.. I¡¯m actually reconsidering to move up to thest floor.. that way he won¡¯t be able toe in without breaking several bones at least..¡±

    Ameliamented which theyughed to¡­ Louisa sighed..

    ¡°I think you should give him more time¡­ I¡¯m sure he has something big in store for you¡±

    Amelia pouted, she hoped that was the case, she nced at her phone¡­

    ¡°Oh Lou.. I¡¯m sorry but I have to be on set now.. lunch time is over¡±

    Louisa picked her purse ¡°Well I have lots of spare time now.. can I tag along?¡±

    ¡°Sure! why not? it would be great to see me on set.. but make sure you don¡¯t make funny faces at me¡±

    Louisa chuckled and followed Amelia out of the restaurant¡­

    ¡°Miss Hart! there you are..¡±

    Amelia was pulled to sit on a chair while the makeup crew surrounded her retouching her makeup..

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry I camete.. she is at fault¡± Amelia pointed at Louisa..

    Louisa¡¯s lips parted in disbelief.. Amelia hasn¡¯t changed a bit..

    ¡°Oh really?.. now I¡¯m at fault?¡±

    Amelia chuckled and waved off thedies buzzing around her..

    ¡°Okay I think that is enough now.. thanks¡±

    Louisa and Amelia heard a smallmotioning from a distance away from them..

    ¡°The media? who the hell called them over?¡± Amelia bursted out¡­ she had never had a good review about those nosy bloodsucking people in human forms¡­

    They find ways to twist an article and make you the viin.. all her experiences with them were mostly bad..

    ¡°Rx Amy! this ce is an open ce I¡¯m sure they are here for their favorite actors and actresses¡±

    Soon after a ck car drove in followed by other cars..

    The back door was opened by a guard and a tall figure stepped out with a megaphone¡­.

    He walked elegantly and sat on his car¡¯s bo, Louisa nudged Amelia..

    ¡°That¡¯s Liam Amy!¡±

    Amelia bowed her head turning all red.. she wondered what on earth he was doing here..

    ¡°Don¡¯t hide your pretty face away from the world darling.. it¡¯s our moment¡± Liam continued and jumped down from the car¡­

    Every step he took caused thedies heart to beat faster than normal.. Amelia itched her nape, she bit her bottom lips..

    ¡®What is he up to now?¡¯ she screamed internally..

    She closed her eyes and soon after she heard a gasping from the crowd..

    She opened her eyes and to her surprise Liam was on his kneels in front of her..

    ¡°Miss Amelia Hart.. will you do this extremely arrogant young man here a huge favour by getting married to him?¡±

    ¡°Say yes! say yes Miss Hart!¡± The crowd shrieked out..

    ¡°Aidan will be so happy to learn of the news.. he will get to stay with his dad everytime¡± Louisa added with a smile..

    ra snorted ¡°Liam and Dn are super romantic but that rule changed when Karl came along¡±

    Karl turned to Cecile with rounded eyes ¡°mum Cecile.. did you hear that? she is at it again!¡±

    ¡°Karl you should know that ra is only pulling your legs..¡±

    Amelia stood up from the sofa and pulled Louisa along with her, they both left the sitting room¡­

    ¡°So what are your ns as for now? you have everything you ever wanted¡±

    Amelia stopped on her tracks and stared at Louisa.. ¡°There¡¯s one thing remaining though¡± Amelia added with a smirk..

    Louisa stared at the Amelia in disbelief ¡°Amy are sure about this? Liam won¡¯t be happy if he finds out!¡±

    ¡°Ma¡¯am please sign here¡±

    Amelia collected the pen from the attendant and scribbled on a sheet of paper..

    ¡°There!¡±

    ¡°Mummy what is this ce?¡± Aidan said tugging Amelia¡¯s dress¡­

    Louisa touched her forehead, it was a good thing Dn picked Nora up from school today otherwise her ears will blow out from her never ending questions..

    ¡°You will find out soon enough honey¡± Amelia mouthed back to him as they were led further into the hall..

    The attendant came to a halt when they reached a particr room guarded with heavy and thick metal bars..

    Louisa and Amelia gasped at the sight before them¡­

    ¡°You have exactly twenty minutes ma¡¯am¡± the assistant said briefly and turned back walking away.

    Amelia knocked slightly on the bars to gain the two eery lookingdies attention..

    ¡°Look who we have here!¡± Amelia scorned..

    The twodies stopped humming tunes and crawled slowly to their guests..

    Jane¡¯s pupil dted as she stared at the people standing in front of her¡­

    ¡°Hey former bestie¡­ how are you doing?¡±

    Jane snarled at Amelia before letting out an ear piercing shriek¡­

    Amelia smiled in satisfaction and rested her gaze on the otherdy¡­ who for some reasons thinks she was a cat¡­

    ¡°And you too Angie!¡±

    ¡°Mummy are they animals?¡±

    Louisa and Ameliaughed out loudly at Aidan¡¯s question..

    ¡°Well in order words yes! they are extremely dangerous to be left out in the open¡­¡± Louisa chirmed in..

    Amelia crotched down to Jane who was on her fours..¡±You made my life a living hell.. you snatched everything away from me without batting an eye and now guess what? I got everything back¡­ and look at him¡±

    She pointed her finger to Aidan ¡°Do you recognize who this boy is? he is my son.. Liam and Amelia¡¯s flesh and blood! I believe this is the rule of karma.. what goes around always and most definitelye around!¡±

    ¡°See?¡­ there¡¯s a mirror out there.. bring it in!¡±

    Amelia and Louisa exchanged confused looks, did they really loose their minds or were they just faking it?

    ¡°Amy let¡¯s leave¡­ they are both crazy.. there¡¯s no point talking to them¡±

    Angie suddenly reached out to Amelia¡¯s hair tugging it..

    ¡°Where is my prince? huh? you killed him didn¡¯t you? you killed my prince!!¡±

    Amelia pulled Angie¡¯s hands away from her hair, she watched Angie stand to her feet and started banging her head against the wall¡­

    ¡°Wow.. this is interesting!¡± Louisa murmured staring at Angie¡¯s level of insanity¡­

    ¡°That¡¯s true.. where is Nichs though? and old Grayson?¡±

 Chapter 168_ The happy ending 1

    Few weekster¡­.

    A church was decked out in flowers and greenery, with white roses and lilies adorning the altar and pews.

    Gands of ivy and ferns draped the archway where the bride and groom would exchange their vows.

    Hanging from the ceiling were hundreds of tiny fairy lights, giving the church a magical glow.

    The smell of fresh flowers filled the air, mingling with the scent of beeswax candles that flickered in the candbras.

    Amelia glided down the aisle, her gown flowing behind her like a cloud.

    The fabric was soft and light, embellished with delicate beading andce. Her veil floated behind her, held in ce by a small tiara on her head.

    Her face was radiant, her eyes shining with

    happiness. As she walked, the crowd fell silent, captivated by her beauty.

    Her every step was graceful and elegant, and it seemed like time itself had stopped to watch her journey down to him¡­

    As she made her way down the aisle, all eyes turned to the person who was walking beside her, her father.

    He looked proud and happy, his arm linked with his daughter¡¯s. His face was beaming with love and joy as he watched her take the biggest step of her life.

    Amelia held on to him tightly, grateful for his presence and support. Even though he hadn¡¯t been there for her since she was a child she was still proud that he was giving her away to the man she loved.

    ¡°I¡¯m so d that you are here today to give me away¡±

    ¡°If I don¡¯t give you away who will? don¡¯t ruin your makeup by shedding tears now¡± Anthony said in return¡­

    Amelia smiled back at him as she stood beside Liam.. she took notice of his attire.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
