Chapter 40_ I hate that name!
Amelia’s grin widened further “I promise to make these few months we have together memorable for you” she silently vowed.

Liam arrived at the company, all the employees stood up and greeted in unison but received silence in return. His assistant came running behind him. “sir.. you have some clients waiting for you in your office” the lady breathed out trying to keep up her pace with him.
Liam already had a hunch on who these uninvited guests were, he entered the office and yes! he was right.
“Yo! man looking all good” James happily remarked as soon as Liam stepped in.
His three mischievous friends were here, he let out a sigh walking towards his seat he buzzed the intercom. “We know where this is going dude! and before you fire anyone just listen to what we have to say” Steven chided.
Liam dropped the idea of sacking his employees who let these guys into his office.
He sat down frustratedly tugging his tie gently “Don’t you guys have important things to do? I’m a very…….
“busy man” the trio completed the sentence cutting Liam off.
“dude we’ve heard that like a billion times, Congratulations anyway” Steven added.
“for what?” Liam demanded.
“Oh about your marriage to that actress” James chided.
James took out a bottle of wine beneath his seat “and that’s why we are here to celebrate” he opened the wine bottle which made a pop sound.
Steven nudged James slightly “what do you think is wrong with the both of them?”.
James snapped his finger “oh don’t you know?”.
James stood up placing his hands into his pants pocket. “our dear friends right here are facing similar problems”.
“What do you mean?” Steven asked.
“Liam doesn’t like his wife because she dominates him and Dylan likes a lady who doesn’t spare him a glance and these two ladies are friends”. James explained grinning.
He took out glass cups from Liam’s wine cellar and returned back to the table. “Wow I’d really like to see the ladies who did this to poor Dylan and Liam”. Steven added.
James poured wine into the glass on the table handing each one a glass each. “So I’ll make a toast”.
James and Steven exchanged meaningful looks ” to our new found sister In-law and future niece and nephews”
Liam’s hand itched to punch James in the face that minute, having children with Amelia? that thought has never crossed his mind before.
Dylan chuckled at Liam’s expression that was turning sour at the thought. “Don’t laugh Dylan you are far worse than Liam you know? still can’t man up to confess your feelings to a girl”. James jested.
And that was it! Liam’s last shred of tolerance was broken “you all can leave now!” he ordered..

Amelia stared continuously at her phone smiling sheepishly, the driver peeped at her through the rearview mirror to find out why she was so happy.
“if you stare at me one more time I’ll take out your eyes” she threatened, the driver gulped and faced the road.
A car suddenly crashed with Amelia’s car “What the heck!” she cursed out opening the door to step out.
At the same time a man came out of the other car looking at the damage he caused. “I’m so sorry ma’am”.
Amelia was surprised on hearing the familiar voice pleading for her forgiveness “Oh it’s you?” Amelia said in sarcasm.
Greg blinked confusedly at Amelia he still couldn’t believe his eyes that the person standing in front of him was his ex girlfriend. She was looking different.
His eyes flashed with hate as he recalled why his life took a huge turn. “Amy?”.
Anger flashed past her hazel orbs that were glaring at him. “oh be quiet I hate that name! only when you call it”.
He was a bit taken back by the ferocity in her voice.
“look at the damage you’ve done to my car don’t think a mere apology is going to fix it”.
Greg swallowed hard, how was he going to pay for the car’s repair? he could barely feed himself now.
“Amelia just let this go” Greg pleaded, he cursed his fate and luck for making him cross paths with her again.
Greg almost peed on himself seeing the hefty men who came down from the car behind the car he crashed just now. They stood behind Amelia heavily armed.
Amelia’s lips drew into a smirk when she saw how scared he was “How can I let this go? you’ll have to pay for the damage you’ve caused”
“Are you doing this because I left you for Jane?” Greg questioned.
Amelia’s face scrunched in disgust “ewww no…. in fact I’m thankful to your brainless girlfriend that I’m able to live in such luxury and comfort if she hadn’t done that I would have still been stuck to a loafer like you”.
“Amelia!” He took a step forward to approach her but stopped seeing the guards gun pointing at him in unison.
Amelia took out her phone “I’ll show you where you truly belong Gregory”.
“hi Liam sorry to disturb your work but someone crashed my car but he couldn’t afford to pay back for repair, do you perhaps need any cleaner or security man at your company?”.
Greg’s mouth fell wide open.
Liam tapped his pen on the table “As long as he have what it takes”.
Amelia winked at Greg “thanks sweetie” she hanged up and faced Greg.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“A cleaner would really suite you better”. Amelia remarked returning back into her car.
Greg watched her car leave and kicked his car in frustration and anger..

Nicholas waited patiently outside star entertainment for Amelia when he couldn’t bear sitting in the car anymore he came down and went in.
His older brother openly declared war against him, he was sure that Liam and Amelia don’t share a real relationship like most couples do.
Earlier he had seen her car come in here after she was done with her shoot.
Amelia approached kelvin who was speaking with the director “Hello” she greeted the two men who responded simultaneously. The director smiled and left the two alone.
Ever since that day they went out on a date she hasn’t gotten a proper chance to explain anything to him. “Kelvin I really wanted to apologize about our planned date that was cut short”.
Kelvin pulled her cheek slightly “there’s no need to apologize Amelia but there’s something I’m still trying to understand, how are you related to Mr Grayson?”.
Amelia forced a smile “he is a family friend”
“Amelia” Chelsea called out walking towards her with two glasses of fruit juice but someone suddenly came out of nowhere knocking the glasses out of her hand.
Nicholas looked down at his pants that the silly girl spilled a drink on, Chelsea looked down in horror. “I’m so sorry” she said wiping the stains off with her napkin.
Amelia was quite surprised on seeing her brother in law. “Hi Nick what a pleasant surprise” she said approaching him.
His frown turned into a smile seeing how happy she was to see him.
He stretched forward his hand and was caught off guard when she embraced him warmly “I’m not your crush who you shake hands with I’m your sister in-law” she whispered to him.
Both kelvin and Chelsea watched in awe.
Amelia pulled out from the embrace and stared at Nicholas “what brings you here?”
Nicholas came out of his daze his heart was beating really fast. “oh I just dropped by to check how things were going down here”.
Amelia turned to kelvin with pleading eyes “Kelvin I’ll see you some other time bye”.
Nicholas was grinning from ear to ear the entire time, he couldn’t believe that she was actually with him now.
“Won’t you have anything?” Nicholas urged, earlier she had requested they visited the restaurant to have lunch.
