MY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MR ARROGANT

Liam arrived at his company that was already crowded outside, the fire brigades were trying to put off the fire while the media’s flocked around the scene.

His guards parted ways for him through the crowds as he stepped forward to get a clearer view..

..

Clara walked towards the boss who was watching the news with a smirk plastered on his thin lips. “You know messing with Liam Grayson means death for you, do you have a death wish? I have seen this man ruin people’s lives with a single phone call”.

Karl swiftly got up from his seat and walked towards the window overlooking the city from it. His eyes turned viscous “if he hadn’t gotten involved in my affairs then I wouldn’t have done that”.

Clara stood beside and hesitated to speak for a while. “Your aim was Amelia Hart, you know how powerful Liam Grayson is? it will only take him a snap of his fingers to find out who is responsible for this and guess what? he won’t spare you”.

Karl suddenly gripped her chin pushing her backwards till she felt her back on the wall “Do you think I’m a fool? there’s no way Liam will find out and besides I have him where I wanted him to be”.

Karl grinned evilly “Now his whole attention will be focused on his company which means Amelia Hart will be all alone”.

Clara pulled his hand off her chin, she could barely move a muscle around that area due to his tight grip. “what exactly did she do to warrant such hatred from you?”.

Karl turned his back at her walking towards his table, he picked up a lighter and ignited it. “All I can tell you is that destiny works in mysterious ways”.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

His brown eyes were filled with the mixture of anger and hatred.

.

Amelia stopped in front of Liam’s company, it was indeed really crowded just like she saw on the news, she knew how much Liam has done for him to come this far in the business world and she wouldn’t stand it if someone was to destroy all his hard work.

Her guards stopped her from going into the crowd “If you try to stop me I’ll make you pay dearly”.

“Ma’am you can be attacked in the crowd, boss asked us to never let you out alone” one of the guards commented.

Amelia took out a pepper spray can from her purse “if anyone of you want to get blind be the first to step forward” she threatened and began walking away into the crowd.

Amelia squeezed her way through the crowd accidentally knocking down a reporters camera “I’m sorry” she apologized picking it up.

“you are Amelia Hart the actress” The reporter suddenly blurted flashing his camera at her. Amelia smiled but she has something else to do now so she shushed him and went further.

She saw Liam from a distance answering the reporters question as she was about to move towards him she saw a reporter sneaking backwards towards the building’s back entrance.

Amelia found his attitude suspicious and strange and followed him. The reporter ran to the building and pulled out his phone. “Boss I planned everything in a way that nobody will ever trace it to you, Liam Grayson won’t be able to get out of this mess anytime soon”.

Amelia pulled his shirt from behind and slapt him immediately he faced her. “you are responsible for all this”. She threw another slapt to his face again.

The man pulled Amelia towards him with a table knife against her throat, Amelia stopped moving when she felt the sharp side of the knife on her neck.

She heard his irritating laughter torturing her ears. “You foolish woman, now wait and see what the boss is gonna do to you I’m going to be rich who knew that you would stupidly come out here”.

Amelia stepped on his foot and pushed him with all her might till he hit the ground, she picked up a handful of sand throwing it at his face before running out of there.

The man groaned on the floor as he massaged both his toes and eyes. Amelia ran till she was mixed in the crowd again, her ankles were hurting from running on heels. She bent down to take them off.

A loud gunshot was heard before everywhere turned rowdy, Amelia cursed silently she was only able to take one of her heels off. Her guards were scattered everywhere looking for her after they heard the gunshot.

Liam was guided into the car immediately after the shot was fired, now his suspicion was right this was a well planned scheme. His car was already moving away when he saw Amelia guards moving around.

“Stop the car!” he ordered getting off the moment it stopped.

The guards saw their master approaching them with hurried footsteps, everyone were running for their dear lives which made it difficult for them to spot Amelia. “what are you all doing here?” He asked impatiently.

They bowed their head down with fear, “boss miss came here to see you but she is nowhere to be seen”. Liam fisted his hand by his side that was turning white by the second.

“What do you mean by that? your job is to protect her from…..

Liam yelled in anger and remembered the gun shot that was fired few minutes back. “shit!” he cursed kicking his car’s tire in anger.

Liam looked around it was empty now except from he and his guards that were still present, his eyes spotted a shiny object a few metres from where they were. He walked towards it to find a silver heel.

He picked it up examining it closely, this was the same heel she dragged with her friend. “boss ma’am wore that heel today”..

..

Amelia opened her heavy eyelids, her head was hurting badly. “Oh goodness!” she mumbled. She slowly sat up to examine her surroundings she was knocked out on their way here because she was throwing in a fit.

She found herself in a strange place and before she could get up, two men ran to her and tied her to a chair.

Amelia furrowed her brows struggling to get out of the chair “Hey let me go!” she yelled at them but soon realized that she wasn’t alone in the room.

Karl smiled in satisfaction seeing his biggest enemy sitting in front of him, Clara walked into the room and sat on Karl’s laps. Amelia blinked in confusion, wasn’t she the super fan who blew her cover the other day?.

Clara felt sorry for Amelia but her hands has been tied there was nothing she could do to help her.

Amelia had a strange feeling that she knew who this guy was his brown eyes reminded her of someone and that was her dad!.

Karl lifted Clara out of his laps walking towards Amelia in slow steps. “Why am I tied up here like a thief? let me out this minute” Amelia said struggling to untie herself.

Karl placed a palm over her mouth to keep her from saying anything further, Amelia bit his palm causing him to flinch from the sudden sharp pain. “You bitch!” he slapt her in anger.

“You should thank your stars that I’m tied up here if not I’ll show you what I do to people who dares to bully me” Amelia said through gritted teeth, nobody has raised their hand to her before now.

Karl’s blood boiled in anger, she was still the same as always he grasped her chin bringing her face upward to face him. “Don’t you remember me?”.

Amelia kneeled him below the belt which made him groan in pain. Clara ran to him helping him up. “Hey listen actress don’t try to play smart you will die soon anyway!”.

Karl stood up clenching his teeth in pain and anger. “super fan my butt! so all of this was your plan? so if you were after me why on earth did you involve Liam Grayson?. Amelia demanded.

Clara left Karl’s side and pulled Amelia’s hair backwards “That’s because he was getting in our way just be lucky that we didn’t kill him”.

One of Karl’s henchmen stepped forward with a gallon of petrol and a lighter handing it over to Karl..

..

Cecile was sobbing gently in Liam’s embrace, all these Feelings were new to Liam he actually didn’t know how to comfort the lady who was depending on him to find her daughter.

His phone rang on the table beside him, he took a glance at it and sat up straight it was a video call and also from an unknown number.

The call went through and the first thing he saw was Amelia tied up on a chair with a ring of fire around her.

He could hear a male voice from the background “Liam Grayson you must be wondering who I am but that doesn’t matter she is about to die but surprisingly she wanted to talk to you first before she leaves this world”.

Cecile let out a shrill cry looking at her daughter surrounded by fire. “Won’t you say anything to her?” Karl asked impatiently.

Amelia smiled mischievously at his face on the screen “Mr Arrogant don’t listen to what this fool is saying, I read a fortune cookie that said I will live a long life so I won’t die anytime soon”

Liam couldn’t believe this lady, she was at the brink of death and she was joking around with that smile that meant danger.

“Please tell my mum that I won’t die now I’m sure she must be crying her eyes out believe me she more dramatic than I am and besides two of my heels fell off today please help me find them you know how much I fought before I could get them” she winked at him.

Karl’s face returned to the screen “I’m still confused on what relationship you both share to act so casual with each other”.

“If anything happens to her I’ll make sure you don’t live to see another day” Liam threatened..

..

Amelia coughed out continuously, the fire was getting nearer now and the smoke was going into her eyes. “Hey Karl I never felt remorse for whatever I did to you years ago” Amelia said smiling.

Karl stood up walking towards her but choked back when he inhaled the strong choking smoke surrounding Amelia.

He took the gallon pouring more petrol around her. “Now you’ll die soon enough and no one will ever find out how you died”.

Amelia grinned “Wait and see Karl! Mr Arrogant won’t spare you once he finds out exactly where I am so you have the opportunity to flee now why you can”..

..

“Boss we couldn’t trace the call”.

Liam stood up immediately as if realizing something, Amelia was a smart lady and she wouldn’t give up so easily he knew how much she loves winning. His eyes returned to the heel on the table.

He smirked realizing what she meant earlier by finding her other heel. “Smart” he mumbled heading out with his guards.

Karl felt threatened by Amelia’s smile, it was really creeping him out. He could barely see her face behind the cloud of smoke, he could only see her determined eyes and smile.

Amelia closed her eyes praying silently “Liam please follow the clues I left on the way, I’m sure he is smart enough to understand the meaning of my words”. She silently mumbled.

In the next minute a part of the room was blown to bits.
