MY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MR ARROGANT

Amelia raised her head from her phone smiling at him “I’ll have lunch will Liam”.

The smile on Nicholas 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 Nicholas”.

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 hour later Nicholas car pulled up in front of Liam’s company, he watched how Amelia happily jumped out of the car in excitement.

She turned back to him “thanks for your company brother in-law, 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 his laptop shut.

“have you….”

She placed 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 flashed 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 placed the takeouts on the table in front of the couch. Liam stared down at the table displaying 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 accompanied me to a restaurant to get lunch for you and I”. Amelia explained 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 you committed that I’m not aware of”.

Amelia stuck out her tongue at him “Liam come 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”.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Liam choked on his meal and coughed out uncontrollably. 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”..

..

Nicholas 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 ever comes out Liam will surely kill Nicholas.

“You are willing to take the blame upon yourself?”

“Father she is my wife and he is also my son so I’ll do anything to save their heads”

Nicholas 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. Nicholas 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”.

Nicholas 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 you come up with great ideas” Nicholas 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 exclaimed in shock and pulled out her phone.

Amelia glanced 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?”.

Liam peeped at the clock it was almost closing hours so he closed his laptop 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 planted 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 plastered 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 explanation.

Liam was confused on how to start a conversation with his mother in-law.

Amelia saw the uneasiness in Liam’s eyes and held her mum’s face “mum I’ll explain everything to you come 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 now last 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 relationship…

“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” she comforted 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 ventilated. 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 lifetime commitment” 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 the compensation 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. Dylan hurried in “Liam I’m here” he said catching his breathe.

Dylan looked around “dude you said you were under attack”.
