MY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MR ARROGANT

Louisa sank into her bed, sobbing her eyes out, she was such a fool to think that anyone could love an orphan like her.

She heard a little knock on the door and groaned out more. Wrong timing! they come at the wrong time.

Nowadays she was too scared to open her door, because one way or the other the person at the door is a follower of Dylan.

She heard the knock again and sat up from the bed. Louisa went to the door and unlocked it but she found no one.

She felt someone brush past her legs heading into the room. “Hahaha very funny Lou I’m not that big”

Louisa stared at the little girl who was smiling sheepishly at her. She glanced around her corridor but found no one there.

“How did you get here?”

Chloe shrugged and dropped her glittering pink colored school bag on the dining table.

“Big bro’s friends picked me up from school today and they dropped me here”

Louisa raised a brow, so it was their doing…..

“Lou I want some cookies and a chocolate milk just like the ones you make for me”

Louisa smiled and touched Chloe’s cheeks “You are so sweet, I wonder why anyone won’t love you”

Chloe blinked multiple times blushing hard at Louisa’s compliment.

“Can you call big bro and inform him that I’m here I’m so sure that he must be so worried”

Louisa paid heed to her and took out her phone from the top of the table.

“Lou your eyes are red, have you been crying?”

Louisa shook her head and went into the kitchen, after the call went through. “Hello Mr Grayson… I just wanted to inform you that Chloe is with me….

Chloe came into the kitchen and stood up on a stool to hear their conversation.

Louisa placed the phone far from her mouth “get off that stool you will fall”

“Can I speak to him?” Chloe asked, before the message could be relayed to Liam, they both had a clear answer.

“No!”

Louisa placed her phone on the counter and turned to Chloe who now had a sad look on her face.

“I’m always nice and respectful to him but he doesn’t like me at all” she sucked and jumped down from the stool.

“Chloe wait!”

..

Liam placed his phone back down when he saw Abby move. He had to bring her into one of the guest rooms for proper rest.

“Abby can you hear me?”

Abby opened her eyes and helped herself up “Ah! my head hurts don’t tell me I passed out again”

“Yes you did”

There was a Knock before the door opened, Stephanie came into the room with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Liam took the glass off Stephanie’s hand and handed it over to Abby.

“Here have this”

Abby accepted the glass and drank it all in one goal, she glanced briefly at Stephanie. There was something familiar and off with this lady and she wondered what it was.

“You may go” Abby dismissed her.

She placed the empty glass on the table beside her bed and turned towards Liam.

“Your mum is still alive? I thought she was dead! everyone also thinks she is dead… how is this even possible? even though I was young when she died I watched her being buried…”

Liam hummed in reply to her, she wasn’t wrong when she said that.

“Yes she was buried before I arrived there, but an old maid overheard the conversation between your mum and grandfather and that was how she helped me dig out my mum after everyone was gone”

Abby gasped in surprise, of course she knew her mum was evil but not till this extent.

“I’m really sorry Liam, my mum and grandfather had done so many things to hurt you and you are still being fair to them”

Liam’s gaze darkened, fair? they will surely get what he has installed for them.

“That’s for a limited time”

Abby lowered her gaze, Liam’s mind was already made up and no one could change it.

“So you called me here for a reason right? why don’t we face the present situation?”

..

.

Amelia placed an earphone over her ear as soon as Liam stepped into the room. She knew what he and Abby were up to but she won’t give in so easily.

She slowly looked up at him when he wasn’t looking at her, he was currently on a phone call and by the look of things it was a female.

“No I’m very free now I can come over if you want, you know I’m very much single”

Amelia squeezed her phone in her palm as she listened to his conversation. although she wore a headphone but it wasn’t connected to any music or device.

Liam sat down next to her on the couch taking his shoes off.

“Oh now? I’m about to take a quick shower….. oh my! a video call in the shower? I don’t mind!”

Amelia’s chest heaved up and down, and that was it! she lost it and turned to him.

She snatched the phone from him “You listen carefully to me lady, he is married to me and you were requesting for a video call in the shower? how shameless of you!”

Liam snatched back his phone from her “Baby don’t be offended by that she’s just a lady I met on the street now she’s claiming to be my wife”

Amelia gasped, baby? he is addressing another lady by that in front of her.

“lots of kisses and bye” Liam smiled and placed the phone in his pocket.

“and what is your problem miss?”

“miss?” she asked back.

Liam walked past her heading towards the vanity table. “Oh I’m sorry remind me of your name again”

Amelia stood in front of him pounding his chest “Baby? lots of kisses? that only belongs to me not some other random lady do you get that?”

Liam caught her hand “Hey be careful don’t punch my heart out, you said you weren’t ready to forgive me yet so I moved on…”

“Moved on? is this some joke to you? you are mine Liam and I’m not going to let any other lady take my place in your life”

“well too bad because…

Amelia placed her hands on his lips “Don’t say it”

Liam grinned from ear to ear before he pulled Amelia into his arms. He kissed the top of her hair softly “I’m really sorry but I had no other option other than this to get your attention”

Amelia’s face scrunched, she rubbed her face on his broad chest and smiled.

“I forgive you Liam but make sure you never doubt me like that ever again”

“you have my word on that”

Liam sighed in relief, at least that phase was over and he was never going to doubt her again.

All of a sudden his eyes went back to the brown parcel on the shelf, where he had seen Nicholas things in it. He already promised not to doubt her but something about that box troubled him greatly.

Why would Amelia lie to him about it? was there something he was not aware of?
