Amelia's POV
Even though she knew that every little time she waste could bring her money and better future, she still couldn't help sparing some of her time to fantasize. Amelia kept scrolling through the internet to see if there was any single or new information she needed to know about the greatest, sweetest and dreamy bachelor and CEO of the town and his current way about. If she needed to have a sweet and smooth fantasy then she needs to know where he was at the moment. Just then she comes across a news that has his current location in it, of course he was somewhere in the xxxxx country on a business trip and he was also visiting 'Charity's' motherless baby home for his yearly charity. Getting this information she gently closed her eyes to create the perfect picture. There she was with her Prince in shining armor. She was wearing a beautiful flowered gown with yellow background, holding hands with her Prince smiling and looking lovely at each other as he continues to proclaim his undying love for her. She widened her smile more when he cupped her face in his hands and brought his lips close to hers, she pouted her lips with closed eyes giving him permission to go ahead . All of a sudden she felt a full force of chilled water on her head and then she immediately opened her eyes "Silly girl, so you think you can just sit here daydreaming instead of working and you will expect to collect money from me by the end of the day". Her boss screamed at her with anger written all over her. She stood up immediately. "Am so sorry ma'am, I was.....hhh". " Shut that mouth of yours up because I know exactly what you were doing. This is definitely not the first or second time you are doing this. Haven't I told you several times to keep your little silliness to yourself untill you get home". Her boss asked. " You see the reason why you are so poor, you simply don't know the value of time. So, have you ever thought that if he dreams and fantasize as much as you do he would be the rich man that you are thinking about right now? You better get out from here and go do the dishes before I sack you this time". Mrs Houston had no choice but to collect the phone and walked away angrily. The truth is that, no matter how much Amelia had fu*k up no matter how annoyed Mrs Houston was , she just can't sack her, because she and Amelia's mother had been really good friends before she and her husband died an untimely death. Amelia needed money to meet up with her up keep and the least she could do for her late friend was to employe her daughter. She just didn't want Amelia to engage in her footless fantasies and end up just like her mother. On the other hand, Amelia just couldn't get why Mrs Houston is just so mean . She sees not wrong in her just trying to spice up her sad life a little with nice fantasies, it always helps keeping her in a good vibe. The very first time she had met CEO Leo, it was completely by accident. She was in a hurry to go deliver the goods that some clients asked for. Due to the fact that she wasn't paying much attention to the road her motorcycle got knocked out by his car . He had treated her so nicely that day, he made sure she was safe and then he didn't miss the chance to complement her beauty also. Just the thought of that alone still made her blush. She smiled to herself and began to wash the dishes, she could swear with her last breath that they would definitely meet again. They were meant for each other it's only a matter of time and all this would come to pass. Addison's POV " How dare you? You stupid idiot". Addison screamed as she slapped the waiter currently serving her just because she spiled wine on the table cloth. "Am really really sorry ma'am, it was a mistake". The waiter pleaded with his head down. "Go ahead and call me your manager you disgusting idiot". Addison yelled ignoring the unpleasant expression of other people present there. "Sis don't you think you are taking this too far? He poured the wine on the table not you it was a common mistake". Allison said feeling embarrassed by the stares the were getting, this sister of hers will never change. "Keep quiet baby sis, you seriously have to learn from me. Because you can't allow people gets away with little mistakes like this, or else they will make greater mistakes". Addison said smiling proudly at her sister. "Am very sorry ma'am, I will take care of it immediately ma'am". The manager said signalling to go with him. "Sis, this is absolutely not cool, you are going to make this Man lose his job just for such small mistake". Allison said sadly. " Don't worry my baby, he will surely learn from this , just enjoy your meal okay". Addison said Leo's POV " Please prepare the flight, our job here is done so I have to leave this place as Soon as possible, my old man is already calling to see me". Leo said to his personal assistant as he dropped the call with his grandfather. His ways of life never size making people wonder, Different people has different thoughts of him, Different news about him And this interests him really much to the extent that he had the interest of reading every single thing they have to say about him, there was always a story to tell His grandfather had sounded really serious on the phone. That made Him eager to hear what the old man had to say this time, Was there a news about him that the old man has seen and himself haven't seen it? He wondered. "Did I miss any story?". He asked his personal assistant. "None that I know of sir, or we should say your grandfather is cooking something else himself". He answered with a calm expression. He could clearly see that his boss was worried about the sudden summon. "I really hope that whatever it is that he is cooking this time does not up set my stomach". Leo said with a tight face as he approached the airport.He really isn't a fan of air transportation, if there was any other easy was of flying then he would have gladly used it. THE HANSLEY'S MANSION "That was quite fast ". The old man said with a cheerful smile as Leo entered the house, it always feels good having his grandson around him. "You didn't leave me with any choice. You really do know how to get me running to you". Leo said as he seat down. " I must say, am curious to know why you summoned me". He said pouring out wine for them both. "Well, I called you here to let you know that you are getting married". He is a very straight forward person, he never likes beatings around the bush so he just dropped the blash like it's wasn't a big deal and then waited to see his ground sons reaction. Leo seat still like he didn't just heard the old man talk. If he was really expecting him to start shouting or something then he won't get any. The thing is he had decided not to waste his time with a lady since the only one he ever loved and wanted to marry betrayed him.And this old man knew very well about this , and he also knew that his grandfather wasn't the type to make a decision that won't favour him in anyway. He never made decisions without a reason. "To whom?". He asked. "Addison Armstrong". He answered.Amelia's POV Amelia seat down staring at emotionally at the news paper in front of her, she already has different kinds of things going through my mind right now. "Now you can perfectly understand what I have been trying to keep you away from all this time right? You know how much time you have wasted dreaming of a man that is far more above you level?". Mrs Houston said nodding her head pitifully at her. "But we are meant to be together, I know it. Right from the very first time I saw him on the TV I knew he was mine, and when I asked the deity for a sign to show me that he is throughly mine then that accident happened". Amelia said stubbornly. " The deity Definitely don't lie right? That was a sign right?". She asked Mrs Houston hoping that at least for once she would get encouragement from her. "You this silly girl, will you wake up from your dream, that accident was something that could have happened to anyone, it's nothing close to being a sign. And there is no deity anywhere
Amelia's POV Amelia paced round the small room she shared with Mrs Houston's daughter as though she would leave a hole . " See Amelia , if you continue like this there is a possibility that you will leave a hole on the floor by the time you done". Zoe said in her usual sarcastic manner. Amelia knew what Zoe said was right but she just couldn't help worrying. Okay she isn't a golddigger or something, she truly loves Leo to the extent that even if he had nothing she was really ready to be with him. But for the deity that she really had her hopes on to have given her a false sign like she didn't matter was pissing her off, if when she first asked them for a sign and they didn't give any she would have just stopped all this her daydreaming. "Amelia!!!!!! Are you sure that you are listening to me at all?". Zoe asked just to be sure that she wasn't just making noise, so Amelia on the other side heard her clearly but she had nothing to say because it will always bring same result as usua
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 sea
Amelia's POV Amelia had always had serious issue with her physics teacher, because she couldn't get why someone would ever say that light travels faster than sound. Ok maybe it made sense when the person might have studied it from the " lightening and thunder" perspective. Have you ever considered the reason why people are asked to talk to their relatives in coma ? This just added to her point when she was trying to open her eyes, she could clearly hear all the discussion going on around her , even though her eyes and her brain were having some kind of disagreement. " Please stay still ma'am, you may have a concussion". Said the nurse who was standing beside her checking her vitals. " Did she just called me ma'am?". Amelia thought inwardly, she looked around slowly. This place sure looks like a private ward, or even a VIP ward.What am I doing in an hospital and a VIP ward at that, who in the world had made such mistake of bringing her here? Now how am I supposed to pay for the h
Amelia's POV The doctor looked at Addison as she approachs the bed , he took notice if her pale face and of course her teary eyes. He could clearly tell that she was not okay at all, but there was no need to use the tranquilizer on her because she seem calm at the moment. Amelia could tell that the doctor was closely observing her, she had no idea if how to react . She couldn't pretend to be Addison, there was absolutely no way she could get away with it . She could never carry herself the way Addison did and neither could she be as arrogant and mannerless as her. The whole thought of it was making her have more headache. As she finally got to the bed, she sat down and closed her eyes. " Miss Addison, do you really not remember anything at all?". The doctor asked her. " Doctor what do you mean by that? What is wrong with my baby?". Addison's father asked as he entered the ward with his wife and younger daughter. Allison and Mrs Armstrong rushed on to Addison's bedside, hugg
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
THE ARMSTRONG'S "Did you noticed the way she looked at him when he stepped in?". Mrs Armstrong asked her husband chuckling as she thought about it. "I had to push her with my elbow before she could close her mouth". Allison said smiling. "Maybe the accident isn't such a bad thing at least something good is coming out from it. I hope she regains her memory soon". Mrs Armstrong said suddenly looking serious. "You don't have to worry honey, am sure she will be fine. All we need to do now is to inform Leo about her current situation". Mr Armstrong said as they got down from the car. Immediately they got down from the car peace slipped her hand into Leo's linking with Leo's hand which made him turn to look at her in surprise. Mr and Mrs Armstrong just pretend not to have noticed what had happened. Amelia had decided that she was going to make the best use of this opportunity she has been presented in while it last. Everything might go back to normal or she might just wake up a
Addison's POV Addison woke up the next morning with a heavy headache, she looked round the room in disgust. She still couldn't come to believe the fact that she would have to live in the rat hole till further notice. They had simply laid a blanket on the floor where she slept. She remembered all Zoe had told her about Amelia, miss goodie two shoes . She needs to find out what was going on at home, she tried to reach for her phone and she remembered that Amelia had lost it during the accident. She needed a phone, she got up from the floor and looked around the room and then the house. It looked like everyone had gone out leaving her asleep. Her stomach rumbled and she remembered that she hadn't eaten the previous night before sleeping off. She saw the plate of food covered on the table, she went and uncovered it just to find boiled yam and fried egg, she looked around for side dishes and found none. She couldn't eat such a meal, she had never eaten like that before there has a
Leo's POV What was going on? "Fiancee? I don't know anything about that." Andrew said with a frown. So her name was Addison Armstrong? She would just remain Princess proud to him. Leo took out his phone and handed it over to Leo who read the headline with a frown before flashing him a grin. "Well, lucky you I didn't murder someone or rob a Bank." 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? "Yes she is." Leo told him with a blank expression on his face. "'She was very drunk and quite talkative too." Andrew said as he stood by the mirror to brush his
Amelia's POV "Where the heck were you?". Amelia asked Addison hotly the moment she stepped into the office. "Can you reduce your voice please? My head is aching terribly." Addison pleaded. She was wearing sunglasses because of the light which was still affecting her eyes. "What happened to you? What did you do?". Amelia asked closing the blinds in her office so the other staff would not see what was going on inside. "How did the meeting go? Were you able to sign the contract?". Addison asked curiously as she ignored Amelia's question and sipped from the cold cup of coffee on the table. "Yes I did. Now answer my question. What happened last night and why in heaven's name were you not taking my calls this morning?". Amelia asked again as she took off the stiletto heels she had been wearing and paced the office bare footed. "What happened last night? I don't understand your question". Leo asked w
Andrew's POV "I'll just settle for princess proud then. So tell me, why do you want to knock yourself out so bad?". Andrew asked. Addison ignored him completely and without glancing his way she stood up to go inside, she came out with two extra bottles of scotch. "Since you can't afford it, you can keep that one, Just don't touch these ones". She said pointing slowly to both bottles she placed on the ground, before sitting down. "So why are you here?". Andrew asked looking at her curiously. "To drink. Or you're blind?". Addison asked as she opened one bottle and took a long gulp. "I'll like to be alone, so kindly excuse me". She told him turning her back to him completely before she started talking to herself. "Loveth, Victoria and Sofie. You're all evil bitches!". she said holding her heart which was still aching because of the conversation she had heard. She had s
THE ARMSTRONG'S Allison's heart was beating really fast as the cab dropped her in front of her house. What was she going to say she had been doing? She pushed open the door gently and could only hope her mother wasn't in the living room, she wasn't a very good liar and her mother knew that. "You're back? How did it go?" 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." Mr Armstrong said with a small smile making Allison smile. "It was fun. I actually had fun." Allison said honestly. "I'm glad you did. I'm sure glad you're growing up now and have abandoned your silly dancing dreams." Mrs Armstrong said making Allison wince.
Andrew's POV Andrew stepped out of the bathroom with the towel in his hand as he dried his hair before walking over to sit on the sofa in his hotel room. 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
Allison's POV After the dancing class Allison stepped out as usual when she believed everyone must have left and nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw Liam leaning against the wall again. She thought they were done with the harassment, so what was it this time? What did he want again? Hadn't she told him where he saw her? Why was he waiting for her again? 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. He didn't have much friends because of his condition, People had always seen him as a weirdo especially when he started acti
Amelia's POV "I don't know if Mom-- I mean your wife. I don't know if she told you about the misunderstanding in my room this morning. But she says she wants Addison out of the house. What can we do?". Amelia asked Mr Armstrong. They were both seated comfortably in his office after she returned from lunch with Addison and he returned from Mrs Houston's restaurant. "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. Maybe that will help her appreciate what she has and be less arrogant." Mr Armstrong said thoughtfully. "How will she survive? How will l cope without her? I can't fit into her shoes." Ame
Amelia's POV By the time Amelia arrived at the car park outside her office Leo was already there waiting for her, he opened the car door for her before turning to get into his own seat. "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.
Amelia's POV "Lesbian buddy? Really?". Amelia asked Addison angrily after Mrs Armstrong left the room. "It's not a big deal. Don't worry about it." Addison told Amelia off handedly. "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." Addison said before they heard a slight knock on the door. "Who is it this time? Is today a family meeting day?". Addison asked under her breath when Allison pushed the door open. "Hey baby!". Amelia called out with a smile. "I wa
