Allison's POV "Was it possible he liked boys or was he just possibly suspicious of her?" Allison wondered as she got into a cab. She glanced down when her phone started ringing, it was a call from her father again. "Hey pumpkin, I hope you're on your way home?" Chairman Armstrong asked in a whisper. "Yes I am, Is there a problem?". Allison asked with a frown. "Yes, Your mother is here and I just told her you left the office for home already. Make sure you get home before us. We are about leaving the office, I only excused myself to make this call." Chairman Armstrong said. "Okay. Thanks Dad, I love you." Allison said deeply touched that her father was going through so much stress to help her actualize her dreams. She wasn't going to allow that crazy person whoever he was to put her father's efforts to waste. "I love you too pumpkin. See you later." Chairman Armstrong said
The Armstrong's By the time Chairman Armstrong and his wife got to the house Allison was already in her room completely transformed to the young lady she was. She was lying in her bed with her laptop. She needed to know who that young man was and his position in the company. She checked the company profile but didn't find his picture, she only saw the names of people occupying various positions in the Company. She paused when she saw Liam. 'The chairman had a son?' she wondered, She couldn't remember ever hearing about Chairman Hemsworth having a son and For this person to be the president of the company he definitely had to be the son of Chairman ... or was he just a family relation? She wondered completely distracted from the original reason she had visited the company's page. Maybe if he was young and handsome she could consider bumping into him and flirting with him. 'That wouldn'
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
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 "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
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
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
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.
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
