Chapter 58_ I feel like a jerk!
Liam was about to go after her but halted when he saw kelvin going after her, he pinched the space between his brow before turning to the person behind him.
His powerful eyes met Fred’s mocking ones. “You should have thought things through before making such a move, no one messes with Liam Grayson and go Scot free!”..
..
Amelia returned back to the garden taking in deep breaths. She crotched down taking off her heels that were starting to hurt her ankles. “Damn you Liam!” she cursed throwing them far away from her.
Kelvin placed his hand on her shoulder to comfort her. “Amelia are you alright?”.
“How can I be fine? that arrogant brat tricked me to come here only to witness his engagement, what a smart move he made”
Kelvin held her face gently with his hands “I’m so sorry you had to witness this”. he said pulling her into his embrace.
Louisa ran to Amelia pulling her out of Kelvin’s embrace “I’m here now you can leave”.
Kelvin creased his brow confusedly as he watched Louisa lead Amelia away.
Louisa led Amelia to her car and was about to get in “Where are you off to Lou? you should know by now that I hate losing and I’m not about to give up just yet”.
Amelia opened her purse and brought out her red lipstick reapplying it on her lips drawing a line of confusion on Louisa’s face..
.
Amelia returned back to the hall with all smiles as if nothing happened which bothered Louisa a lot, she knew her crazy friend was up to something.
Liam saw her approaching him and avoided eye contact with her, he was a bit surprised when she passed by his side hitting his shoulder slightly with her’s in the process.
She walked towards Nicholas who was speaking with his mum. “Nick please come with me” She said pulling his hand.
“As you can see he is speaking with me find some other guy to throw yourself at!”.
Amelia narrowed her eyes at her “Excuse me?”.
Nicholas smiled awkwardly shunning his mum with eye gestures.
“You heard me”.
“Don’t force words out of me or else you’ll regret it, Nicholas speak to your mum!”
Nicholas squeezed his mum’s arm slightly “Mum that’s enough! you know how much I cherish this lady here” he said in a lowered tone.
Angie scoffed, words can’t describe how happy she was about old Grayson’s decision, if there was one thing she knew about Liam it was that he loves maintaining his profile in front of the media and business partners.
Old Grayson was really smart to use what he loves the most against him, there was no way that Liam would get out of this mess easily without his name being dragged down.
“Prince, I think you need to go home now and find out what your grandfather is hiding in that drawer which you talked about since he’ll be busy here” Angie whispered to receive a nod from Nicholas.
“I’m sorry Amelia but I have to leave now something urgent just came up” Nicholas apologized before leaving.
Amelia turned around to leave but was stopped by Angie. “Leaving so soon? I told you once before that Liam will only use you and toss you aside like a piece of nothing and now look at what he did” Angie scorned.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Amelia turned to her with a sharp glare “Don’t try to judge other people’s character when you are worse yourself”.
“Hey child don’t disrespect me!” Angie raised her voice a little while pointing her index finger at Amelia.
Amelia flicked Angie’s finger pointing at her and smiled mockingly. “Whatever you or anyone else do or say you can’t change the fact that I’m Liam’s wife the sooner you all start accepting it the better for you!”..
..
Liam felt suffocated in the hall since Allison decided to stick to him all through, Amelia’s nonchalant attitude towards the sudden engagement seemed to bother him a lot.
“Liam you don’t have to worry about anything dear my brother will handle and process your divorce with that actress” Allison said rubbing his arm slightly.
Liam pulled away from her as if stung by an insect…
The next morning
Louisa touched Amelia’s head and retracted her hand immediately. “Amy! you are burning hot” Louisa panicked slightly.
Amelia opened her heavy eyelids, it was obvious from her swollen eyes that she cried herself to sleep.
“forget about it, you know how much I hate hospitals and doctors please don’t send me there I’ll get better once I’m alone”.
Louisa sighed patting Amelia’s hair slowly “Amy, don’t you think it’s time you talk to Liam? he must have a reasonable explanation for getting engaged to Allison last night”.
Amelia sniffed back her tears remembering what transpired last night. “I feel like a jerk! how could I make a stupid mistake for the second time, I faced something similar like this with Greg and now Liam”.
Louisa was touched by Amelia’s plight, when she broke up with Greg she didn’t shed a tear for him so why now?.
There was a knock on the door which diverted Louisa’s attention. “I’ll be back”.
Louisa opened the door, the guard immediately stepped in without seeking permission. “Hey how rude of you” she lashed out immediately.
However the guard was in no mood for her drama, he took out a file handing it over to Louisa. “Young master has instructed me to give this documents to sign before the end of the day”.
Louisa scanned the papers with worry “This is….”
“I’ll come to get it before the end of today” he announced and left the apartment.
She sighed, how on earth was she to break this news to Amelia? a shattering sound brought her out of her thoughts. Louisa glanced at the broken pieces of vase with Amy resting on the table.
“Those are the divorce papers am I right?” Amelia asked in a low tone.
Louisa dropped the file on the table walking towards Amelia. “Something is wrong Amelia, why don’t you talk to Liam about it”
