MY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MR ARROGANT

Amelia gently came down from the stairs and stood in front of them. She was greatly surprised that they were in Liam’s house.

Nicholas 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 this lady 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 Nicholas 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.

She turned to Nicholas for some explanations on who the little girl was. “She is my younger sister” Nicholas said almost immediately.

Angie glared at Amelia “come on son we have other important things to do take Chloe out with you”.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Nicholas 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 young lady 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 hesitated coming out from her hiding place 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 the lady 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 becoming 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 claimed 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 accident that was committed 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 explain 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 who lay 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 the lady 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 that lady 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 planning 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 slapt 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 Nicholas 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 Amelia completely 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 claiming 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 accept him as your brother, I’ll always support you”.

“Don’t you think it’s a little late for that?” The mother and daughter snapped their heads to the door.
