MY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MR ARROGANT

Cecile stroked Amelia’s hair slowly, she had a small smile plastered 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 and come out victorious”

Amelia smiled and nodded her head “Thanks mum….. you made me the awesome lady 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 glared 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 glad I found a crazy lady as a wife”

Amelia gasped softly “Well…. guess what? I’m glad 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 placed 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 today come 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 placed 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 of coming into her original home, she had changed and that was because of her poor dumb husband.

Nicholas appeared rather upset, half of his head was covered with a white neat bandage which made him look like an idiot.

“If Liam eventually comes 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”

Nicholas 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 the large 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?” Nicholas asked in unbelief.

“Stop sounding like your mother when you know exactly what I did” Old Grayson said with a loud scoff. If ever a competition was held for foolish people he was that these two would make it to the first position.

Clara pointed at the top shelf where a white big hairy teddy bear was resting on. “I want that one”

Louisa glanced towards Dylan 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.

Dylan placed his two hands into his pocket, his gaze landed 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!”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“What?!”

Dylan suddenly hard the urge to take back his words, but Clara beat him to it, she stepped on his foot to stop him from speaking.

“Don’t keep me waiting!” Clara said impatiently, she could tell that Louisa and Dylan still had a long way to go in forming a relationship.

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 this lady claiming 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, Dylan was taking the blame for what she did.

“Your shelf wasn’t wobbly infact someone was!” he glanced 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…..

“This lady 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 salary for two months.

Louisa turned to Dylan with an apologetic look as cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Clara touched Dylan’s arm. “honey let’s go to another mall… I couldn’t find anything to my taste over here”

Dylan nodded to her words and began walking away with her.

“So when are you planning to pay up? or should I call the cops?” The Manager’s voice broke her out of her reverie, she sprinted towards Dylan and held him back.

“Dylan you can’t leave yet now….. how do I pay for all that? this wasn’t entirely my fault”

Clara yanked Louisa’s hand harshly from Dylan’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 Clara, she fixed her gaze on Dylan, 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 Dylan.

Louisa turned around in hurried footsteps and began destroying everything on each shelf.
