Chapter 18_ Naked 1
Nicholas was enraged as he came out of his brother’s office, his pride was hurt after Liam said those words to him.
His guards saw him approaching with long strides, they opened the grey Maybach for him to step into, he turned back taking one more glance at the building.
“you would hear from me soon Liam Grayson”.
Angie got up when she saw her son coming into the house, her brows creased seeing his red face.
“honey are you alright?” Angie worriedly asked.
“how will I be alright mum?! that brat insulted and questioned my manhood I won’t spare him this time!”
Angie watched him leave, her lips curled into a smile as her mind plotted. “don’t worry son, leave this all to your mum to handle” she whispered.
This weekend old Grayson called for a family meeting, she will make sure to use this to her advantage.
Liam who was in a business meeting received a message from an unknown number, after reading the text he turned off his phone and focused on his business partners. “so Mr Xander you are trying to tell me that if I invest in your project I’ll get twenty percent profit? do you think I’m stupid? security!”
The security ran in less than five seconds ” throw them all out and if I see anyone of them near this building you all will face my wrath!”.
The investors stared at each other in awe, they’ve been business partners for more than thirty years even before Liam was appointed CEO of the company.
“but…
Liam raised his hand to silence them, the guards grabbed each of the elderly men and sent them out of the company.
His eyes turned to his phone again, he picked it up and left the conference room.
Amelia stepped out of the room where she was locked in, she followed the guard who led her to the living room.
She saw an old man sitting on the sofa, she knew he was powerful because of the aura he was emitting.
She met his grey orbs that seemed to be staring into her soul, she waved at him but got scorned at immediately. “have you no manners young child?”
Amelia raised a brow at his words, nobody speaks to her in such tone just who does he think he is?
“listen old man no one speaks to me in such tone, and what are you doing in my house? I tried being polite but you took it as an insult” Amelia retorted.
Old Grayson stood up at once, “such audacity! who let this mad woman into this house?!” he barked.
The guards and servants bowed their head in silence, no one wanted to get into his bad books or else they had a death wish.
Amelia’s eyes narrowed at the old man “you old rat! how dare you….
She felt a palm covering her mouth to stop her from speaking further.
Amelia smelt that familiar masculine scent, it was Liam! what was he doing back here so early?!
Old Grayson’s eyes darted to Liam who was behind Amelia. “what brings you here grandfather?”.
Amelia’s eyes widened “gr.. a… nd father?!” her lips pursed into a thin line as she face palmed herself.
She bit Liam’s palm making him flinch from the sudden sharp pain.
Amelia wiped her lips several times, she suddenly went down on her knees with her hands placed together in a pleading pose.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Liam’s eyes almost popped out from its sockets seeing Amelia on her knees “I’m sorry for how I spoke to you earlier but you had no right calling me a mad woman….”
She bit her tongue “I meant please forgive me” she pleaded dramatically.
Old Grayson patted her head picking her up “how are you related to this dummy?” he asked casually.
Amelia blinked ‘did he forgive me?’ “I’m his….”
“I don’t think any of this concerns you? and by the way why are you at my house? I told you years back that I’m done with you and your family so I’ll be glad if you could just leave” he spoke arrogantly.
Amelia’s eyes furrowed, it seems he had problems with his family “that’s no way to speak to an elder” Amelia barked but instantly regretted it, everyone casted her a gaze at the same time even the servants.
“whether you are in the family or not, this weekend I want to see you in the Grayson’s ancestral home for a meeting” old Grayson stated and left the house.
Amelia watched the old man leave, she could swear that she saw a pang of pain flash past his eyes, she faced Liam.
“sometimes you have to think carefully how your words might hurt others before speaking!”
As if struck by lightning he suddenly remembered that she was supposed to be locked up and not up here.
“who released you from your punishment?” he barked at her face.
Amelia also didn’t have an idea about that all she knew was that the gate was opened for her and she left.
He turned to his guards “old Grayson did”.
Liam furrowed his brow, how did old Grayson find out about his captive?.
“I guess he had a heart all along, why don’t you try to be like your dad and grandfather?” Amelia nonchalantly commented.
Liam grabbed her hand turning her to face him, his face inched closer to hers “if you say that one more time I promise you’ll regret it” he threatened.
Amelia smiled mischievously at him, their faces were only inches apart “dear husband don’t you know? this naughty wife of yours isn’t scared of you at all”.
She gently brushed her lips against his cheeks and stepped on his foot before leaving for her room.
Liam gritted his teeth, just when he thought he could control the world with his power and wealth a daring woman walked into his life.
He dismissed his servants to their duty posts, right now he had urgent matters to deal with.
His eyes darted to the closed doors of his room.
Amelia stepped into the room, she wasn’t surprised that he turned the room back to its usual boring color of black and white.
She knew he must have gone back to the office by now, without wasting much time, she stripped herself naked, she didn’t have a bath last night.
The door suddenly opened, she turned around to see Liam rooted on the ground staring at her.
