Leo's POV

Leo took a stare at his watch again, he has absolutely lot count of how many times he has done that since 30 minutes now.

He knew pretty well that she was a mannerless being that he shouldn't expect any good from her but he couldn't help but wonder how heartless she could be to keep him waiting this long when she knew he is a very busy person.

Not able to wait for her again he stood up from his seat to leave, immediately he raised his head he saw her sitting at her usual spot at the center of the restaurant then he walked over to her table.

" For how long have you been here?". He asked trying his very best not to let his anger take over.

" I have been here for some couple if minutes now". She replied smiling brightly at him obviously wanting to anger him.

" Do you know that you kept me waiting for over an hour? And were you not informed that I already paid for a table for us over there, and would you say you didn't see me when you came in?". He asked pointing at the seat he just left.

When he noticed that his actions were beginning to get the others attention to them he smiled at her and stopped talking.

" I did keep you waiting and so what? And weren't you also informed that I reserved a table here also? I spent my money on this table too". She said pointing at the opposite chair for him to sit.

This was a game if power and taking charge and she had in mind to show him that she was in charge here. She had noticed him immediately she entered the restaurant, he was sitting with his back facing the door. She was just not going to call him so she had been looking at him all the while she was here.

If things were going to work between them then she would definitely make him get used to her doing things her own way . After all she was the lady, and she is just as rich as he is . And rich ladies like herself likes it when things are been done in their own way and not the other way around.

After all she knew just how much he was going to gain from getting married to her . So in her opinion he would have to earn every penny he was going to gain from the marriage.

Ryan sat down opposite her . Most people that knew him would say that he is a very calculative person. He will never say or do anything without thinking it through.

He already knew the game she was playing and he understood fully well what she is trying to do, he knew she wanted things go be done her own way. There was no way he was going to allow that happen but just for today and the fact that they were in public he would let this one just pass.

He was really tempted to walked away from this brat but he just couldn't afford to. He was doing this for his grandfather, he would do almost everything for him.

" It's fine , it doesn't really like matter where we are seat tte only thing that matters is that we are her . Let's just make our order".

He said with a tight smile as he waved for the waiter to come over to their table

Amelia's POV

She smiled sweetly knowing that she has just won the first of the many argument that are to come.

She had no appetite for food at the moment and he happened to be on the same page as her, so they just ordered a bottle of wine.

Both of them sat down quietly thinking if what to say to the other person. They had been enemies since they could remember and they had absolutely nothing in common.

Leo knew that as the guy it was on him to likely start a conversation, he had to bring up something to talk about just anything no matter what it was.

" So did you know about the engagement before or after the news had it?" He asked in a causal manner.

She looked at him considering if she could answer him truthfully or not.

" After". She simply answered without saying anything else making it known to him that she was not ready to begin any conversation with him.

But still with the attitude Leo still decided to try again.

" What do you like"? He asked her.

. " I don't know that you would be this old fashioned, shouldn't you be doing or saying something new?". She said trying hard to frustrate him to silence. She had intended to tell everyone how boring it is to be with him when she gets home.

" See I don't like to be in this date with you, there are a whole lots of things I can do with this time am wasting here right now. We both know that we hate each other really much. So can you at least stop being so I reasonable and keep a small conversation going".? He asked slightly annoyed.

" Oh. So I am being unreasonable? She let me tell you I don't make conversation with people that i don't like. I don't like you and I definitely do not like the idea of getting married to you so don't even think of getting any funny marriage ideas in your head. I am just here right now for the sake of my parents". She said smiling sweetly.

" That's even the best, I can see that at least we have a common understanding here. Which is great, we don't like each other and we don't want to marry each other. That's the best thing you have ever done, so we can just skip all this and save ourselves the stress and go our separate ways". He said standing up from his seat and she did the same.

Amelia's POV

Amelia looked down at her phone again, so it was true all along. Currently she was looking at some pictures in her phone. A picture of Addison and Leo sitting opposite each other at a restaurant.

The internet was on fire with the news of this date, it was like what everyone has been waiting for to see all this while. Everyone wanted to know if this two cat and rat would eat up themselves when they finally meet.

But to their surprise Addison was smiling continuously like she was actually enjoying the date. Amelia really hoped that the date doesn't go well.

Her heart twisted as she felt a little pain in her chest.

" God if you are really going to help me then please let it be today. The next Time Leo goes on a date I want to be the one sitting next to him".

Just as she finished speaking her phone rang . It was her other boss at the place where she works that was calling.

" Amelia, please can you come over to the shop? The other boys are all tied up with work and I need your help to help me deliver something to a customer right away".

" Okay ma'am, I will be on my way immediately".

" Aunty please I need to rush over to help my boss with some deliveries, I will be back immediately I am done". Amelia told Mrs Houston.

" Alright dear, don't be late". With that she ugred her to go ahead as she continued to serve her customers.

Getting to the shop Amelia took the things she was to deliver without wasting much time .

After giving her the address as all she left for her direction and not long after she left she was knocked down by a car.

Addison's POV

Getting into her car she thought to her self,

" That really went well". She was very sure that she had successed In pissing him off.. and she had made sure to always smile because she was sure that people were taking pictures of them.

" Ma'am where are we heading to now?". The driver asked cutting her thoughts.

" To the usual spot that I and the girls meets at. I need to see them".

Addison at the club house.

" You can't go in, you can't get in without a membership card". The bouncer at the club house told the guys and thier girls that were currently standing at the gate.

Addison could clearly hear them arguing as she approached, but to her that was none of her business because she thinks the poor should definitely know that it not places like this that they should be seen at .

Just as she was walking through the gate , one if the men at the gate was about to throw a punch at the bouncer but unfortunately for Addison the pounch had landed on her head instead and she collapsed.

    Amelia's POV Amelia and Leo sat quietly as the driver drove the car slowly following Mr Armstrong. "What on earth had possessed her that made her to ask him to take her home?" Amelia asked herself silently. " Well, maybe because he was the only familiar face she knew and trusted at the time". Who are you kidding girl. You asked him to come with you because you are clearly in love with him, it had absolutely nothing to do with being familiar or not being familiar. The voice in her head told her. So what was she supposed to do now? How will she supposed to react now? What was she supposed to say? She wished he would just start up a conversation. Leo looked outside the window, he didn't know what to say or do. He had no idea how he was supposed to feel about this sudden change in her behavior. He probably should just stay quiet and allow her rest. He decided to steal a glance at her to see what she was doing only to catch her staring at him. He immediately turned is fac

She wasn't used to such a luxurious moment and the bed was just to different from the floor she was used to sleeping on. She had carried the duvet which was nearly folded on the far end of the bed and spread it in the floor. That was the only that she would be able to fall asleep. Getting up from the floor she glanced at Allison who was still soundly asleep and seems to be talking in her sleep. The time was just 5: 30 Amelia stepped into the bathroom and I looked like she was in a beauty parlor. There were beauty products every here and there.

He said with a grin making Leo cock a brow. "I don't remotely find this situation funny. And what I find even less funny is finding my fiancee's credit card in your bedroom". Leo said with a frown of disapproval. "'She is really your fiancee?." Andrew asked with a smile before standing up to put on a shirt. Why had she said those things about him in her drunken state?

Mrs Armstrong asked making her jump in shock. 'How did what go?'. Allison wondered wildly looking at her father who was watching her. As though he realized she didn't know what her mother was talking about he quickly asked. "Yes, how was the welcome party? It seems everyone gets to have a welcome party these days."

He had been unable to sleep earlier so he had decided to go out and start his search for his aunty. The earlier he found her the sooner he could return to his home. He didn't know how he felt about the news of his aunty's death. He hadn't really given much thought to the idea of not finding her alive. He wondered how his grandmother would feel about that. She shouldn't have started this search in the first place. She started too late and now she was only going to get hurt. Maybe her only consolation would be her granddaughter who to the best of his knowledge was still alive. He was supposed to be feeling jetlagged but he wasn't. It was like he was buzzing with excess energy and he needed to knock himself off so he could rest. He pulled a polo shirt over his taut b

Was he possibly gay and was interested in her? With slumped shoulders she walked over to where he was standing. She decided she wasn't going to avoid him this time. "What do you want this time?". She asked in a resigned voice. "How old are you?". he asked idly. "I'm twenty-one. Why?". she asked eyeing him suspiciously. He didn't know how to say what he wanted to say, he felt lonely and needed a friend to hang out with.

"She will have to go." Mr Armstrong said making Amelia widen her eyes in surprise. "What? You remenber she is your daughter right? Not me. I'm talking about Addison." Amelia said reminding him like he had forgotten. "Yes. I'm aware it's her. But she has never lived on her own before. I think it's time she experienced life away from the family.

"I'm not a lesbian and neither am I bisexual." Amelia announced the moment the doors were shut. "That was quite direct." Leo said with an awkward smile. "I'm sorry I misunderstood your relationship with her. You just seemed so into her... so I just assumed.." he said allowing his words trail off with a shrug. "You could have asked me, instead of running off to my father." She pointed out, Since he was bent on marrying Addison because of both their family backgrounds she was just going to act like Addison and not allow her emotions get in the way. "Yes, I should have done that. I'm sorry." Leo apologized remorsefully. "It's fine. Let's just go have lunch." Amelia said before looking out of the window.

"She just said she doesn't want you here anymore! Can't you see it's a big deal? The only reason you don't feel offended about this is because you are the one who was caught saying that not me. You're ruining my own reputation." Amelia said glaring angrily"Reputation? It takes money to have a reputation. You don't have it." Addison said and when she saw the hurt look on Amelia's face she quickly felt sorry. "I'm sorry. I'll fix this but we have to leave for work now."
