MY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MR ARROGANT

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 glanced 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..

Nicholas 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 uncomfortable look on her son’s face. “Prince what is it? what is it all about?”.

“Grandfather’s darkest secrets” Nicholas mumbled raising his head to meet his mum’s curious eyes.

“What? tell me boy and cut the suspense!” Angie impatiently mumbled.

Nicholas 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?” Nicholas 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 bit late. Whenever this two were alone it always mean trouble.

They plan on how to get rid of Liam or how to create so much problem in the family. “What is going on here?”

Nicholas 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 our company”

Mark knew that wasn’t the case here but he chose to believe. “wow great you’ve finally started to become responsible by the way let me see the presentation I want to make sure it’s for the good of the company”.

Angie’s eyes widened, she turned to Nicholas in worry. “We. ll mark…. I checked everything and it was great don’t worry about it”

“Yes dad! mum already checked it” Nicholas 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!”

Nicholas and mark called out as they reached out to help her up.

“It hurts a lot!”.

Nicholas placed 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 Nicholas arm “You fool! take the file and get out!” she lashed out in a tone almost like a whisper.

Nicholas 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”. Louisa complained.

“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.

“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 explain things to her dear friend..

..

Liam rested his head on Brianna’s lap 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 it comes 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 planting 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 glance 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 glanced 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 glanced up from his laptop when he heard the door open. He couldn’t help but feel angry seeing her disheveled state.

“You came back so late”

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 cologne coming from her and frowned.

“Looks like you had a good time entertaining other men”.

Amelia gasped slightly before shutting his laptop close. “Mr Arrogant! don’t try to act all innocent I learnt it from you”.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Liam rose to his feet grasping her chin slightly. “Staying out late 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 bars late at night and why weren’t you taking any of my calls?”

Amelia smirked, seems like her plan 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 explain 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, he laid 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 and laid 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 guys complimented 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!”
