Day time dreamers
A ceramic plate flew towards Amelia just as she opened the door, she instinctively dodged to the side and the plate shattered on the ground.
Amelia frowned and walked into the living room and saw that the family of three was all in the living room.
Amelia raised a brow and walked in only to see plates on the ground.
“Amelia you’re finally here” Luke turned to Amelia and said with a small voice as if putting in a lot of effort to console her.
Amelia felt sick when she saw her father putting in much effort to console her, she was disgusted at the two-faced man.
But even though she had a strong hatred for her father, there was still this part of her that had hopes for him, for him to change and stop being greedy.
Amelia immediately went soft as she lowered her tone and said: “You called me here, what’s going on??”
“You see there’s a reason we called you here but first of all, relax, and you… what are you still doing, go get your sister a cup of brewed coffee” Luke immediately pretended scolding Jolie.
Amelia felt something was wrong when Jolie obediently smiled and went to get her coffee.
This wasn’t a simple invitation.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Jolie soon came back with the cup of coffee placed it on a small stool and brought it close to Amelia
“Sister I recently came out first in my tea-making class so I decided to personally brew this coffee for you, please try it and tell me what you think!!” Jolie said with a flattery smile that made Amelia want to puke on her face so her disguise could fall off.
“Mhm, sure..” Amelia said with a shallow smile without taking the coffee on the stool.
Jolie glared at Amelia when she wasn’t paying attention, Jolie tried to suppress her anger as she stood there like a butler ready to take her orders.
“Come on daughter, drink the coffee your sister made for you, you would give her some face right??” Marion said with a small smile.
Amelia looked at the mother and daughter, was Marion trying to put her in the tight spot??.
Amelia took the coffee and brought it close to her mouth, sipped a bit, and dropped it again while nodding “It’s very nice, well done Jolie”
Marion exchanged secret glances with Jolie and Jolie tried to conceal her small smile.
“Thank you, sister,” Jolie said and went to sit close to her mom.
“So why was I called here??” Amelia asked mr Luke.
Luke cleared his throat and looked at Amelia with a tender gaze “You know, the last time we came to your house, it didn’t turn out good and we are deeply sorry for causing trouble for you..”
Amelia remembered the day the two couples came and they were rebuked by Alexander and dragged out of the house.
“Oh, that day you and Marion were driven out of my house?? oh that, I remember!” Amelia said with a shallow smile and felt secretly delighted when she saw Marion’s face turn purple due to embarrassment and anger while Luke’s face paled.
But being the shameless man, Luke didn’t drop the matter to at least have a bit of dignity “So… we would like to propose something to you, you see, I know you aren’t favored in your marriage, you got married without love. For your good, I and your mother concluded to go meet Mr. Lorraine Ron and tell him we want to swap you with your sister here, you know, she is fitter than Alexander’s wife because she is a beauty and has a lot of social networks that could benefit alexander and his business, just step down for your sister, I know you love her a lot and have her in your heart” Luke said and looked at Jolie.
Jolie blushed and hugged her mother’s arm and Marion nodded at Amelia “That’s true dear, by that time, you’ll get to live your carefree life again, you know, going to the bar, coming home late and playing with friends”
Amelia’s veins pop up on her forehead in fury, she looks at her father in utter disappointment. that part of her that wanted her father immediately quenched like fire that came in contact with water.
Luke Robertson was truly a two-faced and ugly-minded man.
Marion must have a hand in this arrangement.
“And I want you to think it positively, when you agree to this arrangement, we’ll hand over all your mother’s properties to you,” Luke said with a smile and Amelia was immediately infuriated.
Since her mother died, all her things were infringed by Luke while some of her mother’s jewelry was taken by Marion and her daughter, and now, they wanted to bribe her with something that was hers, to begin with??.
Amelia felt ridiculous, no wonder they offered her coffee.
“In your wildest dreams…” Amelia managed to say and the smiling expression on Luke’s face immediately dropped as a cold face emerged to show his true colors.
“You dare, you have no choice, you must give way for your sister whether you like it or not,” Luke said in fury
“Don’t be so unfilial as to watch your sister suffer” Marion reprimanded Amelia but within her, she had much more hateful words to say but held on because Luke was there.
“You can’t be with Alexander so don’t even try declining this offer, you don’t have what it takes, so just leave me to fix things for you,” Jolie said impatiently and stared at Amelia.
Amelia gave her a tight glare which made Jolie tremble in fright, she wasn’t and hadn’t been able to withstand Amelia’s hard look, she gave her a dread feeling.
Amelia let out a cold laugh “Want me to step down?? You all must be a dreamer, daytime dreamers, I was sold without my consent just to treat your daughter and now, your daughter is healthy and you want me to leave my marriage for her?? You lie, I’m not leaving my home” Amelia said in fury, if not she had show some filial piety, she would have given them the real piece on her mind.
She felt ridiculous.
“You choose to do it the hard way, I tried but since you play dumb, then bear with the consequences,” Luke said with a high level of disgust towards her.
Amelia immediately felt something was wrong and she got up from her seat but just then, two hands grabbed her arms and she tried to struggle
Two burly men were holding her captive as she tried to struggle.
“Dad what’s the meaning of all this shit??” Amelia was so angry, she was a bit dizzy and her arms lost a total amount of energy and she felt something was off with her body system.
