Chapter 23_ Meeting the Grayson’s 1
Amelia got up with a wicked grin on her lips, drawing out her phone she took a quick snap at his current position. “dear husband I don’t mind circulating this photo of you on the floor I bet your admirers would love to see this”.
She tied her hair before hitting the bed, Liam was flabbergasted, since she came into his life she has been the one calling the shots but not any longer.
Liam pulled off his coat heading into the bathroom.
The night was very cold as rain poured down heavily, a thunder bolt jerked Amelia she kept on turning and tossing.
She turned to Liam who was sleeping peacefully like a log of wood. two things she was scared of the most were dogs and thunderbolts.
Amelia waved her hand over his face to check if he was really asleep. There was another loud thunderbolt she looked towards the window, white and blue lights were flashing in the sky.
She inched towards him little by little until she felt her skin touching his. ‘oh goodness his body is surprisingly warm’ she thought inwardly before slowly drifting into sleep.
The next morning Liam woke up only to find his troublesome wife on him sleeping so comfortably as if he was the bed.
He saw her clutch unto him tightly rubbing her head on his chest.
Amelia sluggishly opened her eyes, she looked at the other end of the bed. ‘where did he go so early?’ she asked herself confusedly.
Liam hissed at her dumbness before he pushed her off his body.
“stupid! what on earth?!”.
The leftover sleep in her eyes completely disappeared as she fell to the ground. “Liam! have you lost it? why would you push me off that way?!”
Amelia questioned standing up to her feet.
“please don’t ruin my mood this morning” Liam replied getting off the bed. “hey Mr arrogant you are always in a bad mood”.
Liam got up from the bed and left for the bathroom, he didn’t have the time for her drama.
“how pathetic!”.
Liam entered the room after he was done bathing, he paused for a second seeing Amelia still in the room she should be downstairs by now looking for a new drama to create for him.
Amelia raised her head from the magazine she was reading, her jaw dropped open as she swallowed hard.
Liam was only putting on a towel that hanged loosely around his thin waist.
His hair was still dripping, her eyes traced the water that dropped from his hair gliding down to his perfect abs till it disappeared into the towel.
Liam saw her gwaking at him and let out a smirk, “you know girls can’t deny my charm” Liam commented.
Amelia blinked out of her daze “well you see I was wondering why you have a pot belly! you are so far the worst I’ve seen”.
Liam’s jaw clenched, pot belly?! “what?! pot belly?!” Liam asked checking himself out.
Liam took in a deep breathe, she was obviously trying to provoke him but that won’t work. he turned around facing the mirror just to be sure.
Amelia smiled taking quick glances at him her eyes darted to the remote control beside her.
Liam creased his brow for some reasons the room was getting cooler, he faced Amelia who seemed busy reading the magazine.
He shrugged the thought off, another wave of cold breeze brushed through his exposed skin, his head immediately snapped to the air-conditioner present in the room.
“why is it dropping?” he asked but received silence in return. Liam searched around for the remote control “have you seen the remote control for the Aircon?” he asked pushing down the magazine she was reading.
“wow! is there an air-conditioner in this room? I have never seen it so why would I see the remote?” Amelia scorned.
Liam massaged his temples in frustration he might go mad before their one year marriage contract ends. he went into his walk-in closet.
Amelia turned off the Aircon rubbing her arms slightly. “jerk!”.
Liam headed down his men were already waiting for his arrival in the large living room, Amelia heard his voice from the kitchen and hurried out.
“Liam you can’t leave without breakfast” Amelia called out to receive a glare.
“I’ll have something on my way! and yes you can go to star entertainment today, pack your bags we are leaving for Grayson’s ancestral home tomorrow morning” Liam stated before leaving the house.
Amelia was too overwhelmed to stop him from leaving, she was so happy for the second time In that week Liam did something good to make her smile she will start her career again..

Louisa turned on the bed, she opened her eyes slowly trying to adjust to the light.
She came down from the bed stretching and yawning at the same time.
Reality suddenly dawned on her, it was her first day of work, her head snapped to the clock she barely had thirty minutes to get ready.
Like a flash she dashed into the bathroom to freshen up.
In twenty five minutes she got dressed and left for the office, “how come I woke up so late?” she screamed at herself hailing down a cab.
Once she entered the building her breathing became heavy, her heels made soft clicks as she hurried to the front desk.
It was that same receptionist who spoke to her rudely the other day “hi I’m a new employee here where is my assigned desk? please check for my name” Louisa said hurriedly.
The receptionist eyed her before turning back to her computer without uttering a word to Louisa.
Louisa’s eyes blazed “I’m asking you a question!” Louisa screamed banging her hand on the desk.
The receptionist jerked from the sudden bang and faced Louisa.
The other employees passing by faced them nobody has been able to challenge Lancy because she had a deep connection with their boss so she does whatever she pleases.
“how dare you raise your voice at me?!” Lancy spoke snapping her fingers to dismiss the others who were standing by.
“pardon? I only asked you a question that pertains your job but you ignored me, you are lucky that we are not outside if not you’d have been admitted into the hospital by now! stupid!” Louisa said before leaving.
His employees were just like him, manner less!
Without knocking she pushed the door open and stepped into his office.
Dylan’s eyes narrowed at her he was currently on a call “yeah! I’ll get back to you” he said and hanged up. Louisa walked to his table “why did you create a scene downstairs? she was just trying to be nice to you” Dylan said to receive a sharp glare from Louisa. ” nice?! that rude punk you call receptionist caused a scene not me! and why are you questioning me? you should question her instead or is she one of your numerous things?”
“Louisa!” Dylan barked at her “mind your language”.
Louisa breathed out in anger “or what? you are going to fire me? please do because I don’t want to work here either”..
