MY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MR ARROGANT

Abby glanced briefly at the person who just stepped into her room.

Martha held her nose as she stared at the ground littered with bottles of wines, beers and cigarettes.

“Abby!! what is the meaning of this? are you trying to kill yourself?”

Abby drew the duvet over her face, she didn’t want to speak with her mum or anyone else, she made a mistake by leaving the door opened last night.

“It’s still so early mum… let me be!”

Angered by the reply she got, Martha matched straight to the bed and pulled the duvet off Abby’s body.

“You have guests waiting downstairs for you, go and freshen up this minute!”

Abby raised her head a little from her pillow “I hope you are not still arranging blind dates for me?”

Martha pointed to the bathroom’s door “To the shower Abigail!”

Abby cursed out loud, whenever Martha called out her full name she was damn serious.

“I’ll be down soon!” Abby mumbled irritably.

Martha stormed out of the room and slammed the door shut behind her. Abby stared at the closed door for some moments before she screamed into her pillow.

She flung the pillow across the room after she was done screaming into it, she grabbed her hair tugging it hard. “Why are you so unlucky Abby? Liam and amelia’s love story started with a night stand but yours is super different”

Abby reluctantly got out of bed and went into the shower room..

.

Minutes later she came down putting on a casual outfit.

Martha sighed in relief when she saw Abby approaching.

Abby’s steps froze as she saw who the guests were. She turned around to leave when her name was called out.

“Abby” James called out to her and stood up from his seat.

Mrs Johnson nudged him forward, which he complied to.

“Abby he has something to say at least give him a chance” savanna voiced out.

James took her hands and led her out of their parents sight.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Immediately they were out of sight Abby shrugged his hands off. “What the heck are you all doing here?” Abby asked impatiently.

“I was wrong for saying all that to you”

Abby raised a brow “Is that all?”

Actually she had expected more of the apology, was she wasting her time watching romantic movies?

James swallowed hard “Abby please don’t make this hard for me…. just accept my apology or else my parents will skin me alive”

Abby smiled, she loved the sound of that, she folded her arm and shook her head.”Oh really? then I don’t accept your apology” she said at the top of her voice.

James placed a palm over her mouth “I’m ready to take responsibility for whatever happened that night”

Abby pushed his hands off her lips “Were you forced to say that also?”

“No… my family and i came here to finalize the date of our engagement”

Abby’s eyes widened, she could feel her heart racing in excitement.

“And you agreed?” She asked in bewilderment to receive a nod.

“I guess it’s time for me to become responsible just like Liam and Dylan” James reply came out brief and quick.

He took her hands in his and sighed “Please say yes to the engagement, even though we see ourselves as friends or enemies with time we will develop our own special bond”

Abby pinched herself to know if this was all a dream, how she wished to blurt out her feelings for him.

“I give you my word on that” Abby spoke softly and embraced him.

“You have no idea how depressed I was all these while” she mumbled..

Stephanie fanned herself with a bundle of crispy new notes. “This is the life I’ve dreamed of” she moaned out waving it in front of Luciana.

Luciana stared at her through the iron bars of the cell. “Hey! that money is ours don’t you dare try to spend my share!”

Stephanie turned to her with a corky smile “Well now I have to spend your share since it’s no longer useful to you…. what I meant to say is that you won’t be leaving here anytime soon.. I didn’t ask you to attack his fiancee… it was just a simple task and you failed miserably at it!”

Luciana banged her hand on the iron bars with bloodshot eyes. “I swear if I get out of here I will be coming for your head next!”

Stephanie looked around before returning her gaze back to Luciana. “If I hadn’t gone to the hospital to give Louisa the antidote you would have been dead by now… the mayor and that oldie wouldn’t have spared you either!”

Luciana gritted her teeth in anger, so this b*tchy sister of hers wanted the whole money to herself?

“Use my share of the money to get me out of here or better still inform the mayor about my predicament”

Stephanie laughed out loudly, “Dear sis… enjoy your stay here and please don’t blame me…. it’s the greed in me speaking… I still have one more task to do before I help you out, I don’t want you ruining all my hardwork like you did last night!”

Stephanie waved her hands and bade her sister goodbye before leaving the police station.

“Damn that b*tch!” Luciana cursed out loudly..

.

The doctor glanced at his wrist watch, it was already late and Dylan was still in the hospital.

“Mr Wesley” he called out.

Dylan raised his head to meet the doctor’s worried face. “It’s late now I think you should go home and come back tomorrow morning since she doesn’t want to see you”

Dylan sighed and shook his head slowly at the doctor’s words.

“I don’t mind passing the night here… it’s up to me to keep her safe this time” he replied.

“If you say so…” the doctor mumbled and left for his office.

Louisa closed her eyes when she heard the door open. She felt a lot guilty after over hearing Dylan’s conversation with the doctor.

Dylan walked towards the couch present in the ward. He pulled off his coat and helped himself to sit on the couch.

His gaze landed on her softly, he knew she was wide awake and was only trying to avoid him.

“You don’t need to be scared or uncomfortable Lou I’m here with you”

Louisa cursed herself for being so bad at pretending.

“You could have gone home and had a proper night sleep on your huge mattress there’s no point for you to stay here”

Dylan ignored her words and closed his eyes, he had been so stressed out since today.

Louisa paused her lips and closed her eyes also, she had said so many mean things to him and yet he spared her every single time..

Mrs Williams snatched the photo Allison had been drawing all day. “This is Liam Grayson’s photo how did you get your hands on them?”

Allison sat up and snatched it back from her mum. “You don’t have to know about it! daddy knows because he is the one planning it… so would you take your questions elsewhere?”

Allison continued her drawings which made her mum worried. Mrs Williams was really worried for her daughter and her husband was making matters worse.

“Dad!” Allison called out taking her drawings to him.

The mayor embraced his daughter warmly and examined the drawings.

“Wow! I’m impressed”

“I told you that I can draw really well” she smiled at him.

“Hmm… you did a good job with Liam’s photo how about we try Nicholas photo?”

Mrs Williams was dumbstruck at what was going on… they were hiding something from her and she was sure of it.

“What is the drawing about?” She asked to receive silence in return.

“I’m asking a question!” she raised her voice a little higher…

“Your question is meaningless… as you can see she is happy at the moment don’t try to ruin her mood… and yes I told her to draw whatever she needs or wants and there you have it!” The mayor said and walked past her.

Allison shook her head slowly “There! you got the answer you wanted to hear, curious cat!” she scorned.

Mrs Williams searched around for her phone, she needed to meet Liam in person to inform him of the horrible things her children and husband were plotting against him before it’s too late.
