MY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MR ARROGANT

A dart flew across the room to the picture on the wall hitting it on target, a young man rose to his feet walking to the wall “and like that she will be gone!”.

A lady rolled her eyes at his fantasies she was quite sure that his plan would fail again like it normally does.

“Boss!” a man ran in panting heavily. The lady lit up her cigarette she could tell he was here to announce the boss multiple failure.

“what is it this time?” his voice echoed in the large room.

“Boss the maid we hired to perform the task has been caught”.

His eyes blazed in anger, he turned sharply gripping his henchman’s neck tightly. “say that again!”.

A loud bang echoed in the air. The lady walked up to him holding his arm. “If you keep on doing this we are sure to run out of henchmen, why don’t you let me handle this lady myself!”.

Liam went through the file he was holding, someone was trying to kill Amelia and then frame him for the murder.

“Boss she also didn’t know who the mastermind is”.

Liam paced around and stopped as if realizing something. “That henchman mentioned something about a lady! go and get a full description of the lady from him, if anyone asks about me tell them that I have gone to the office”.

Amelia returned back to the room slightly irritated “That brat called me crazy!”.

Her eyes found its way again to that tiny statue of a dog, she marched to the shelf where it was placed and reached out for it.

She picked up the statue on the shelf which seemed to be stuck, she applied a bit more force to it.

She heard a crackling sound and the wall opened like a door, her jaw dropped in shock and in awe.

Never in her wildest dreams has she thought of something like this, her curiosity was piqued on what Liam must be hiding in there.

She glanced towards the door and sighed before stepping into the dark passage. She turned on her phone’s torchlight for a better view.

There were several strange drawings and writings on the wall which she couldn’t decode.

Amelia felt her heart slamming against her ribcage, “you are a brave lady don’t be scared” she silently encouraged herself.

She walked a little further and found herself in a large room.

She stopped on her tracks seeing nurses and several doctors moving around the room. She also noticed the weird gazes that they were throwing at her.

“does he run a secret organization?” she asked herself confusedly.

Amelia shrugged and moved further into the room and what she saw shocked her to the core.

In front of her laid a frail lady on a bed with several tubes attached to her body and Liam was resting his head on the bed holding her slender hand between his own. she stood rooted to the ground unable to decipher what was going on.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“What is going?” she questioned her inner self.

Liam felt another presence beside him and turned to his side, his lips quirked up. “nothing you do surprises me anymore” Liam mumbled obviously irritated by her sudden appearance.

Amelia shifted her gaze from the lady to Liam, his eyes were slightly red. did he cry?

The lady’s eyes suddenly snapped open which made Amelia scream.

“her….. eyes… opened just now!” she stuttered trembling slightly.

The doctor examined the woman on the bed and turned to Amelia “it’s totally normal, she does that once in a while” the doctor explained.

“Liam what is going on? and who is she?”

“Your curiousity will definitely be the end of you!”

Amelia swallowed hard hearing the tone he used on her.

Liam stood up walking to her in steady steps, he took a glance at the lady on the bed and his eyes softened a bit.

She swallowed hard and for the first time she was scared of the consequences of her actions. “I’m sorry I just had….

He grabbed her arm taking her out of the room with him.

Amelia crashed on the bed harshly “What was that for? tell me who she is Liam”.

Liam scowled at her, her guts was just something else “What on earth are you made of? don’t you ever get tired of behaving foolishly?”.

“Liam is she your mum?”

Amelia asked innocently she noticed that whenever she talked about his mother he gets upset easily.

She got up and walked towards him, placing her hand on his arm “Tell me Liam! is she your mother?”

Amelia urged him to spill his heart out, today she really saw how lonely he was. A proud man like him was crying his eyes out for a lady.

Liam sat on the bed massaging his head he hates it whenever he sees his mother in that condition and whenever someone mentioned her name it reminds him of her pitiful condition.

Amelia could feel his distress and felt moved by his state she gently climbed on the bed going behind him.

Her fingers went into his hair giving him a soothing head massage “Liam it’s okay to share your problems with me I promise to listen to you”.

Liam closed his eyes as he felt her fingers in his hair that was somehow helping to relieve his plight. “Why should I tell you my problems? you can’t solve any of it if I tell you”.

His jaw tightened as he felt the pressure she exerted on his head.

“you are always ready to fight with me Mr Arrogant don’t you get tired of it? I’m trying to be supportive who would believe me when I tell them that I actually saw the almighty Liam Grayson crying his heart out today” Amelia sarcastically commented.

Liam’s thick brows drew together “are you making jest of me?”

Amelia came down from the bed and stood in front of him “take it as you want”.

Liam got up and headed out of the room, Amelia sighed she really pitied Liam..

..

Louisa waved her hand as soon as she saw Amelia walking into the restaurant. Amelia smiled as the two embraced each other warmly. “looking all good” Louisa teased.

Amelia’s cheeks turned crimson red “you look more chubby now tell me what’s the secret?” Amelia asked wiggling her eyebrows teasingly.

“Amy!” Louisa called out laughing out.

Louisa’s face turned serious instantly “Amy I’ve been meaning to ask how your relationship with Liam has been progressing? the last time he dropped by at my company to speak with Dylan he looked lonely”.

Amelia shrugged “Why should I care Lou? after a year we will both go our separate ways!”

Louisa sighed touching Amelia’s hand on the table “won’t you at least make these months you have with him comfortable and memorable for him who knows you both might work things out between you two”.

Amelia fell into deep thought digesting what Louisa said.

Louisa called out for a waiter who took their order and left.

“Thanks for the advice Lou I’ll make sure to work on it”. Amelia promised.

Louisa raised a brow unconvinced, she knew Amelia well by now. “Amy don’t take me for a fool okay? prove it to me that you will start acting nice to him please”.

Amelia grabbed her phone almost squishing it with her hand.

Liam who was in the conference room with his business partners felt his phone beeped on the table. He took a glance at the text from his wife ‘Hope you had lunch?’.

He stood up from his seat and left the conference room ignoring his partners.

He raised his phone to his ear “what crime have you committed to ask me about lunch?”.
