MY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MR ARROGANT

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.

Dylan 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..

.

Dylan 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 glanced briefly at him.

“I asked you to get a cab but you decided to walk all the way home….”

“You left a lady on the street so late 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 Dylan, 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 the last couple of days? what happened to that Dylan who never yells or scolds me? even though I said hurtful things to him he just laughs it off…

Dylan’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 of coming late 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 glass off James hand and gulped down the content in one go.

She scrunched her face and sniffed the glass “Yuck! what’s this stuff?”

Dylan stroked his chin trying to know where he knew this lady from, he knew that he has seen her somewhere but where exactly?

“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.

Dylan 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, this lady 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 nonchalantly, 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.

Dylan pulled Steven’s arm, as they stood up “Okay this is getting really uncomfortable, we will be over there waiting for you so… enjoy!” Dylan jested stressing his last 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 glass, 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!” she lashed 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 collar “I dare you to say that once more!”

Dylan and Steven who were watching them from a distance rose up to their feet. “that was quick” Steven mumbled.

“Let’s check it out” Dylan 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 placed 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 placed 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.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“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 glance at her and urged her to come 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 incomplete please don’t make me go through this again” mark pleaded taking her hands in his.

Amelia’s eyes watered at the sight, she glanced 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 declared 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”
