MY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MR ARROGANT

Silence engulfed the dining area as they stared at each other in shock, Nicholas was the first to come out of it.

“what?! Liam what is she saying? you got married to her?”.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Liam shot him a glance that was enough to keep him quiet. Mark faced his father who had a small grin on his lips.

Allison laughed out loud as if Amelia just dropped a joke “what do you mean by that? everyone here knows that I’m Liam’s future wife”.

Amelia’s curved upwards ‘well that was new Liam never told me’.

Angie stood up walking to Amelia, she held Amelia’s wrist almost crushing it with her tight grip.

“mum!” Nicholas tried to butt in but was shunned back “save it son! some girls are just so shameless that they lie so boldly through their teeth”.

Amelia frowned the grip was getting tight, she didn’t want to disrespect Liam’s mum but she was asking for it. “ask your son he is right here!” Amelia raised her voice a little she doubts if she could tolerate Angie again.

Angie spat in disgust as her sharp eyes landed on Liam “why would you think that he is my son? I share no relation with this brat!”.

“Angie!” mark yelled banging the table.

Amelia swallowed hard looking at Liam for help, “why are you quiet now say something and why is your mum denying you? I thought you were the weird one but clearly it runs in the family” Amelia blurted out.

She bit her tongue itching her head weirdly “I’ll pass this time, she isn’t my mum why don’t you do what you do best”.

Amelia squinted her eyes does this mean that this lady squeezing her wrist wasn’t Liam’s mum? “Tell me did he hire you to come here and pretend to us all? he knows well enough that he has been betrothed at birth to Allison”.

Things were getting more difficult for Amelia to take in Liam didn’t brief her about his family drama but he did warn her to stay away from them.

Liam didn’t want to get involved he wanted Amelia to sought things out this time, she always have a way out of all her problems.

“So? he is all grown up now to make decisions for himself and that’s why he got married to me!” Amelia replied pulling out her wrist forcefully from Angie’s grip.

Allison held Angie from falling due to the impact of Amelia’s sudden pull.

Angie’s eyes blazed in anger “how dare you?”. Angie screamed.

Amelia ignored her and walked over to Liam “Liam let’s go” she took his hand in hers leaving the dining.

Angie felt threatened by the smirk on Liam’s face, she knew that something big was coming for her.

Liam placed his hand in his pocket staring at Amelia “What? don’t stare at me that way, you saw how she was ogling at you and as a wife my duty is to support my husband even though he is so arrogant”.

Liam took in a deep breath walking away, he might run mad if he argued with her.

Amelia made a face at his back, “just how much more will he keep hiding from me?”.

Angie rushed into Nicholas room a vase flew right in her direction grazing her arm “honey!” she held Nicholas from destroying his room further. “get hold of yourself son!”.

Nicholas heaved a breathe pulling his hair tightly “seriously mum? why? why should I have to fight Liam for everything that I want? Why do we share the same interest in everything”.

“Nick? do you know that lady?” Angie asked.

“of course mum! she is the lady I’ve been searching for all these days! do I really have to fight with him over a woman now? mum Liam has gone too far this time”.

Nicholas went out of the room in anger “Nicholas!” she called after.

“oh goodness what a cramped situation!”..

..

..

Amelia followed the path Liam went through, she came out of the building to see him sitting beside the swimming pool.

She walked to his side taking a seat beside him, she watched his side profile for a while, his hair was swaying due to the wind.

She looked ahead “you could have prepped me about your family and your issues with them” Amelia said looking at Liam.

Liam remained quiet, she reached out her hand and held his arm that was resting on the wooden chair. Liam tried to retract his arm “let’s not start this now” Amelia reasoned.

Liam gave up the idea and relaxed “I know we are not an ideal couple but there are some certain things you have to tell me”.

Liam stood up abruptly walking along the edge of the big pool. “why are you suddenly interested in knowing about me?”.

“don’t you know? that lady in there was saying bad things about you!”.

Amelia walked to him and pulled him forward “stop hiding things from me”.

“Will you just stop bugging me? don’t you get it? we don’t share any relationship for me to tell you my family affairs!”.

Amelia felt taken aback by his harsh words, was that really the case?

She moved back from him heading into the building and at the same time Nicholas who was on his way to meet his brother bumped into Amelia that was hurriedly coming his way.

Nicholas wrapped his arm around her waist to stop her from falling. “be careful you might fall”

Nicholas anger died down immediately he held her.

“I’m so sorry” Amelia apologized before entering the building.

Liam’s knuckles tightened as he watched his brother and Amelia. Nicholas walked towards Liam to receive a punch from him.

Nicholas touched his nose that was starting to bleed, his eyes darkened as he attacked Liam but was thrown to the ground.

Nicholas got up from the ground “was it that upsetting? I felt worse when I found out that you were already married to her why do you keep fighting with me for everything?”.

“you are a complete fool, if you really liked her you wouldn’t have sent her to my bed that night the deed is done now she is my wife and there’s nothing you can do to change that”.

Nicholas jaw clenched at Liam’s words, of course he knew he was wrong he shouldn’t have let the lady he liked go to his biggest competitor he was so blinded by greed to see that.

“you just wait and see Liam! just the way she leaned on me I will make sure to have her by all means maybe it can begin with a stand just like you did to have her!”.
