“Hmm! Very sweet,” Nathaniel said as he smacked his lips.

Amelia was confused. She didn't understand the meaning of his gesture just now. It seemed like something a normal couple would do but they were no couple so it wasn't appropriate for him to do something like that.

“Stop thinking too much and start eating. The food is going to get cold.”

Amelia immediately snapped out of her thoughts. She just decided to lay aside the matter for now. Later she would ask him what the meaning of that was.

She then delved into the food. She was not really able to taste it the first time but on tasting it again, it was very sweet. She could see why this meal had won the first place in the competition. Even though she had helped him cook it then, it was against the competition's rules to eat from a contestant's food unless they were given permission.

With Nathaniel's aloof character, it was obvious that he did not allow anybody to eat his meal even her though she had helped in the preparations.

    They soon arrived at the office in no time. “When will you be getting off ma'am” Stella asked Amelia as she alighted from the car.Amelia raised her brow “Since you're also double playing as my bodyguard, aren't you supposed to follow me around.”“Yes! But Mr. Brooke said that you may not like being followed so he said for me to keep my distance except when I am being requested for by you.”“If you need me to follow you around. Then I would gladly do that ma.”“No, you don't need to do that. I'm very comfortable with this arrangement. If anything comes up I'll let you know. But I doubt if there's anything that I won't be able to handle. I'll need you to be back by 5 pm.”“Alright, ma. I'll be here by that time” Stella replied and drove off.Amelia soon entered the office to see everyone bubbling and moving about as if preparing for something important. Was there something that was supposed to happen today that she was not aware of?Amelia was immediately greeted by Vincent upon her a

    “You asked for me ma'am” Ann asked as she entered the room shortly after Mr. Ruffalo had left.“Yes. I want you to exclude some executives from this meeting. Only the department heads who are involved in the sales and distribution should be available and also the shareholders need not be present for this meeting.”“Tell them to start preparing for another cooperation and plan accordingly. Inform me when the executives from the Reynolds Corporations arrive.”“Yes, ma.”Amelia soon got a notification on her phone from the decor company. The materials she had ordered were already ready to be shipped. She directed them to Nathaniel's office. Since the materials were already ready, she might take tomorrow off to sort out the decorations instead of waiting till next week as earlier planned. She immediately dialed Nathaniel's line to inform him of the new development.Nathaniel was in a meeting with his executives when her call came in. He wanted to ignore the call but paused when he saw th

    Amelia finished eating and smiled. The food was very delicious. Even though she had prepared it with Nathaniel yesterday and had tasted it then, she still couldn't get over it. It just tasted better anytime she ate it. If she started a restaurant with this recipe and charged thousands of bucks for this dish, a lot of people would be willing to pay for it. Amelia was feeling generous so she decided to give the remaining pieces of the ravioli she had packed.She immediately rang the intercom. “Ann. Are you there?”“Yes, ma. I'm coming right over.”In the next few seconds, Ann entered her room. From her expression, Amelia could tell that she had been working on something before she called her. She just thought that she must have eaten quite faster than the others. Still, she decided to ask her about it.“What did you eat for lunch, Ann?”Ann smiled as she pressed her lips into a thin line and whispered. “I haven't had anything for lunch ma.”Amelia was immediately furious. “Why didn't y

    She immediately narrowed her eyes and the place became cold. The smile she once bore on her face was long gone and only anger and fury were left in its wake. The recorder was placed in such a place that without a sharp and keen eyesight like hers it would have been impossible to detect it. Why would Ann try to do this to her? Hasn't she been good enough to her? She had investigated her but nothing went wrong during her investigation. Could she have been wrong or was she sent by someone who only contacted her recently? She immediately went to her desk and brought out her laptop. She didn't earn the name “Sneaky Adder” for nothing. She punched her keyboard furiously and within seconds she was connected to all of Ann's devices. She went through them but nothing seemed to tick off.This means she was using a phone that had not been registered under her name. It was hard to track such phones and the only way she could do it was by placing a tracker that would hack the phone signals comin

    Amelia stood up after the call and decided to leave the office but not without planting the tracer on Ann. She took the flask as she stepped out of her office and approached Ann.Ann immediately stood up upon seeing her. “Is there anything you need ma?”Amelia nodded. “No there's none. I wanted to take a stroll in the company and decided to also give you the remaining pack of the food. Ann's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing about the pack of food. “Thank you ma. But ma, you didn't have to come to me yourself, you have just called for me through the intercom.”Amelia smiled. “It's alright. Like I said, I wanted to take a stroll. I'll be back in an hour. Hold the fort for me, would you?“Yes ma'am” Ann nodded. Amelia then handed her the food. As Ann reached out to take it, Amelia held her hand and maneuvered the tracer into her clothes firmly without raising any suspicion from Ann. Amelia then stepped back and left. Before she left her office Amelia had put back the recorder that

    Amelia was surprised, where did Nathaniel want to take her? Was he taking her out for dinner? Amelia giggled in excitement at the thought. But Nathaniel was not one to do dates or maybe something had changed? Amelia immediately headed to her office to arrange her things before Stella got there. She entered her office floor to see Ann beside her desk. She narrowed her eyes at her before adjusting her expression so as not to alert her.Meanwhile, Ann panicked when she saw her. “Welcome ma. You said you won't be back until an hour. Has something come up, do you need to get anything? What is the next move ma?Amelia sneered inwardly. She would have been deceived that Ann was hardworking but now she knew better. She was just a scheming snake who was good at hiding her appearance. Amelia faked a smile as she walked into her office.“There's no need to do anything, Ann. I just got an important call now and I need to go somewhere. I'll be locking the office for now. You can also take a break

    “My mom,” Amelia asked, confused. “Why would you want to pay respects to my mom in this cemetery? My grandfather never told anyone where he hid the body of my mother after she died. Even my father was not allowed to see it.”“But I'm not your father. I am your husband and I'm the most powerful man in this country as you know. Finding out about this is no big deal for me.”Amelia stood rooted to her spot as tears trickled down her face. “You mean you found it,” she said in disbelief. It's not that she didn't believe him but she had used her forces to try to find out where her mother was buried by her grandfather but each search was futile and bore no tangible results. It was as if her grandfather just wanted no one to ever know and had so meticulously hidden it.“Do you find it so hard to believe? I said I have found it. Do you not trust the power of my might?” Nathaniel asked as he stepped closer to her. Truly it had been very difficult for his forces to find out about this. He even h

    Amelia and Nathaniel soon returned to the car. Stella looked at Amelia with pity as she came closer. “I'm sorry about your loss ma'am.”“Thank you, Stella,” Amelia said and then turned towards Nathaniel. “Will it be alright if I ride with you?”“Of course you can. Get in.”Amelia then turned back to Stella. “He would be taking me home. You can go home from here. I'll be safe with my husband.“Yes ma'am,” Stella replied as she nodded and entered the car. Amelia then entered Nathaniel's car and they left the cemetery.Meanwhile, a hooded figure walked out from behind a tree that was far from the cemetery. He had binoculars in his hands. It was obvious that he was using them to spy on the couple as they entered the cemetery.He then brought out a phone and immediately dialed a number. After two rings, the person on the other end soon picked up and an old man's voice was heard at the end of the line.“How did it go? Did they take the bait?”“Yes Sir. It went perfectly well.

    Thud! Ann immediately flew some tables away and coughed up blood as Amelia's fast reflexes kicked in and she gave her a flying kick. Ann was mad with anger but was also in a lot of pain. She never expected Amelia to be able to deflect her attack and even cause her such an injury. There was really a lot she didn't know about her and she could not even afford to mess with her.She knew that she was done for and knew that Amelia would probably not let her go so she tried to get up on her feet and run away but she found out that no matter how she tried to get up, she just couldn't. The fall from the kick had been so bad that she had been paralyzed in her lower back and so was not able to get up.She panicked as she tried once again to get up but she couldn't. “What have you done to me you bitch. Why can't I get up? Come and do something. I can't get up. I can't get up” She wailed as she knew that she was finished. Apart from being unemployed, she was now paralyzed. This was just too much.

    Ann almost fell from her seat when she saw the photos. She never expected that Amelia was aware of the secret that she had been trying to hide for long. She instantly shivered at the thought of this, Amelia could destroy her life entirely and there was nothing she could do about it.“How did you get those pictures?”“That's not the question you should be asking. I know about everything, your plan to sabotage me. Did you really think that it could escape my notice? You truly haven't learned a thing from being around me. You ought to have learnt something and here I was thinking that you were smart. You are clearly just a dummy.”Ann clenched her teeth. She wanted nothing but to rip the photos in front of her to shreds. She had just gone out for one night of enjoyment and she was being dealt with like this. The only thing left for her was to beg. If she played it well Amelia could forgive her and even help her flush out the person.“I didn't mean to do it. I was being blackmailed by som

    “Nothing. Is there anything to feel about him? He is just a business partner.”Ann sighed. It seemed that she may not be able to get anything out of her concerning that. Well, she would find out more when they have eaten to their full. Luckily for her, she had brought a drug to help her deal with the effects of the wine of course she would also try to avoid drinking much but not too little to avoid suspicion.“It seems that you are not interested in romantic relationships.”“Well, you can say that. A relationship is not just for me.”Ann sighed again. “It's a pity. With your beauty, so many men would be dying to have your hand or to be in a relationship with you if you aren't even interested in one.”Ann had never felt jealous about this but she couldn't help her thoughts today as something seemed to change in her when she decided to completely turn against Amelia.“Since you think that the waiter is dashing. Why don't you ask for his number? If it is challenging for you, I can help y

  • Married On A Whim   CHAPTER NINETY-SEVEN – DECEPTION

    Amelia could not believe her eyes when she saw Ann. Ann was wearing the detective earrings that she had created herself. This was one of the products her company made so how could she not recognize it when she saw it on Ann? Instead of being honest with her, she decided to employ such means.This means that she had already made up her mind. Amelia was no fool. She knew that the snake wanted to gather evidence or have something to hold against her and that was why she planned to record her meeting. Amelia made up her mind to deal with her ruthlessly. The small chick had the mind to betray her and then find incriminating information on her.It was a good thing that she had never thought of including her in her other life, if not it would have been a disaster. She had hoped to help her out of her situation but she was shocked to be met with this kind of behavior. Since this was what she wanted, then she would make sure she suffered direly for the consequences that would befall her.Ameli

    Amelia turned to look at him. “Oh, Vincent. He is one of the workers in my company. What's the matter?”“What are you speaking with him so informally? He even called you by your name. Since when is that a proper employer-to-employee relationship.”Amelia's face curved upwards as she gave a small chortle, “He is one of my loyal subordinates and this is how I treat them. Is there a problem with that? Don't you call your female employees by name?”“No I don't” Nathaniel answered his voice becoming frosty.“I call them by the position and role that they have been assigned to play in the company. You should do that too. Maintain a fine line between employee and friends.”“Do you maintain a fine line with your secretary Justin? I don't want to turn this into an argument but I clearly won't listen to you. I have tried this method elsewhere and it has worked perfectly so I don't see the the reason why I shouldn't use it.”“Where?”“Excuse me?”“Where have you tried this technique before? If I

    Ann immediately went silent. She panicked as she didn't know what to do or say. Could her boss have found out about what had happened?“Hello, are you still there?” Amelia asked as she got no reply from her.Ann thought of seizing this opportunity to do what she had wanted to do since morning. She had tried to go to the company against the instructions of her boss and was surprised when she was not let in because according to the security personnel. Amelia had ordered that she was not to be in the office today.She was not sure whether Amelia had found out about her deeds and decided to hinder her from coming to the company today because she was aware of what she wanted to do. But hearing the meeting, she was somewhat convinced that she was not as she would have already gotten her arrested. Still with the little time she had got to know her boss. She knew that she was a very calculative person and could have the patience to bring down her enemies in one fell swoop. She shivered at th

    On the other hand, Nathaniel did not look tired at all. He looked so relaxed as if the work could not compare to other activities he had engaged in. The only thing that gave the fact that he was involved in some work was the way his clothes were soaked in his sweat.His abs were glaring under his shirt and Amelia couldn't help but feel flustered. She quickly shifted her face to one side so that Nathaniel would not look at her flustered face.Meanwhile, Nathaniel sat down on the floor and was lost in thoughts. There were many strange things about Amelia. He needed to find out more about this person who was his wife. From the investigations he had conducted before marrying her, there was no mention of some things that he now knew. If she was capable of hiding that then she was capable of hiding a lot of things too. First was the fact that she knew business so well as if she had been doing business for a long time. Her expertise showed not only raw talent but also experience. But how an

    Amelia turned back to see Nathaniel dressed smartly in a black tuxedo. He looked explicitly charming and she couldn't help but drool at the sight of him. She quickly coughed and brought her head back to normal.“Don't tell me you want us to paint it ourselves.”“You know I don't joke around” Nathaniel answered in a deadpanned voice.Amelia chuckled in amusement. “Don't tell me that you want to paint this room in your tuxedo?”“Of course not. Let me go and change my clothes” Nathaniel said as he entered the private lounge in his office. Soon he came out dressed in casual clothes.Nathaniel then walked up to Justin. “Get the paint and other materials we need now.”Justin immediately went out to gather the things as instructed by Nathaniel.“How do you expect us to paint the room like this? Don't the chairs and other things need to be covered before they get spoiled by the paint? And do you expect us to be the ones to scrape off the paint from the wall? That will take forever and I take

    Ann soon arrived at Nathaniel's office. Unlike last time, she was immediately received by one of the staff whom Nathaniel had prepared to receive her beforehand. Amelia followed the private elevator and headed to Nathaniel's office floor of the building. She was surprised to see some people whom she recognized to be painters in the lobby waiting. She immediately walked up to them.“Good morning gentlemen. Please why are you all here and who called you.”A man who seemed to be the head of their group smiled and walked up to her. “Good morning ma. You must be Miss Stone. We have been waiting for you. We were called by Mr. Brooke. He told us to take orders from you when you arrive.”Amelia was surprised. Nathaniel never informed her of this. She was confused as to what was happening. Just then, Nathaniel's Secretary, Justin, came out of Nathaniel's office space. He immediately walked to her. “Good morning ma'am. I have been expecting you. These men here are painters.
