Married On A Whim CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE - COUNTER ATTACK
Amelia walked into her office that morning, with a cold look and a domineering aura. Her look of displeasure was evident in her face by the frown she wore on her face. She had just returned from the private island yesterday after the weather had been able to calm down and return to normal.The trip had not been fruitless and useless for her. She was able to talk to Jonathan about the invitation and had gotten that sorted out. She had also been able to relax, calm down and think properly on how to deal with her stepbrother. She immediately called for a meeting upon her arrival at the office. With the reform she had done when she just arrived as the new President and CEO of the company, she had no problem with organizing the meeting as everyone was on their toes and were always punctual.“Ann! What is the status report? Are all the stakeholders and department heads already seated in the conference room?”“Yes ma” Ann replied as she pulled out two documents from the file that she was ho

One of the shareholders, Mr Anakin stood up. “He was just given the position a week ago. There's no way you would expect him to start performing up to expectations.”Amelia raised her brows at him. “Oh really!”“What would you have had him do?” Mr Anakin fired a question at her.“Mr Vincent” Amelia called as she crossed her legs and took a look at her nails.“Yes CEO.” he replied straight away and stood up from his seat. His heart was beating in excitement. He was happy at any opportunity to be useful to Amelia.“How long was it when I appointed you a departmental head before we had a meeting?”“It was a day ma.”“And were you able to present a report and detailed guideline on what to do?”“Yes ma I did. It was in the meeting that I brought up the idea of our now best selling jewelry collection, “Frozen in Time.”“Thank you Mr. Vincent. You can have your seat back. So we have seen that it took Mr. Vincent only a day after his appointment to come up with new projects and plans for the

The meeting continued immediately and each of the department heads presented their report on how they had planned for the next phase that they would soon enter.Amelia's head was plopped against her chair as delicate frown lines appeared on her forehead. Her brows were furrowed and her eyes were slightly closed. She was tired from the meeting as they had taken quite a while to go through each of the plans that had been drawn up by the department heads.She was happy for one thing though, and that was that she had removed her stepbrother from the department head position. With no real power in the company, the chances of him doing anything harmful to the company were next to none. She knew she couldn't keep him on that stage for long. She had to find a way to oust him from the company.“So this is what you do all day. Just relax behind your chair and give orders'' She heard as a figure walked into her office. She knew the voice mad and could not be bothered to even open her eyes.“Mmmm

Vincent was stunned but he quickly found a way to overcome it. “I don't mean it in any way. And if you want me to keep adding honorifics to yours, then that's fine by me. Or you could just call me by my name in a private discussion. You have helped me realize my potential. I felt that it would be ok if you called me by name.”“Alright, Vincent. Don't blame me for not going back to Mr. Vincent.”“I would love you to even call me Vin,” he thought but only nodded as he could not bring himself to say that to Amelia. This was a good progression for now. He would find ways to take it some steps further.“I'm guessing you called me here to discuss some designs with me?”“Oh yes. Just give me some seconds” Amelia said as she brought out a sketch pad from her drawer. Vincent's eyes widened in fascination.“I didn't know you could draw too.”“I'm not good. It's just something, I picked up growing up. Here, I want you to see this” she said as she opened the sketch pad. Vincent's eyes danced acr

Amelia got to the Grand Stone's Residence by 5 pm that evening. If it was in her power, she would never come here but until she fully uncovered everything, she had to just grit her teeth and just obey the old man. Even with her forces, she was still not able to make a headway in recovering what was hers from this man. She could only lay low for now and think of a better way to go about it.Amelia looked at the house as she entered it. It was kind of quiet as opposed to the time she came here for Master Stone's age celebration. She looked at the paintings on the wall in awe. Her grandfather had a very nice collection of famous paintings which he displayed on the wall. He had removed them during her s age celebration to avoid them from being stolen as each painting was worth millions of dollars. It could be said that the paintings on the wall were worth more than the house and all that was in it.She had always known that the man had a great interest in art and would collect artworks fr

Amelia grunted but sat down on the dining table nonetheless. She chose not the say anything and watch how everything would unfold this evening.“Grace” Master Stone called out and soon and middle-aged woman who was in her fifties came out and walked to the dining table. Grace was the only middle-aged woman in the mansion. Amelia did know what but get grandfather had kept her in the house since and she was the only servant who could speak directly to him.Just like he was, Grace was a ruthless and wicked lady. It was as if she was her grandfather's apprentice in machinating wickedness. She was a part of the people who made life hell for Amelia after she had lost her mother. Amelia was also going to deal with her as soon as she was done with her grandfather.Master Carter then passed a painting that was on the other side of the table to her. “Put this painting on the wall in the hallway. Take time to make sure that it is in a very good view.”“No problem,” she said as she made to go wit

Master Stone was surprised when he saw who had entered the dining room. He was in the business industry so of course he was naturally familiar with Nathaniel. He had seen him in one of the business newsletters where he had been published as the most successful businessman in the country. He knew what power, position, and authority that he held. This was not someone he could trifle with.“Mr. Brookeeee. What brings you to my abode Sirrrrr?” Master Stone said as he panicked. He did not have any business relations with him. How could he? They were not from the same class and might never be even in ten lifetimes. Had he offended him in any way?“You!!”“Excuse me, Sir?” “You brought me to your house. After all, you are the grandfather of my wife. How could I not come to pay my respects? I'm sorry for not coming earlier. I was so busy with a lot of things but I'm here now. What I don't understand is why you want to marry off my wife to another person?”“No! No! No! That's not what is happ
Last Updated : 2024-09-21Married On A Whim CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX - BLINDING GIFTS
Amelia was immediately dumbfounded. Why was he kissing her? What was happening? Was this necessary? Before Amelia could process her thoughts, he stopped and cleaned his lips. Amelia's face immediately turned red and her cheeks burned with intensive heat. She could not bring herself to look him in the eye.Meanwhile, Nathaniel behaved as if nothing had happened and looked at Edward. Like I said earlier, my marriage to my wife is none of your business. I won't give you any more warning after this. He then looked at his bodyguards and signaled them. They immediately sprung into action and took Edward out of the house.Master Stone just watched and did nothing to intervene. How could he intervene even if he wanted to? He was somewhat reluctant and the gift that was brought to him by Edward was precious. He had a very high love for paintings and he was very glad to have received one from him.Nathaniel then walked close to him and stood in front of him. “Let me introduce myself properly, g

Married On A Whim CHAPTER HUNDRED – PARALYZED
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.
Married On A Whim CHAPTER NINETY-NINE – TRUE COLORS
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
Married On A Whim CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE - MEETING UP
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
Married On A Whim CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR - QUESTIONS
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
Married On A Whim CHAPTER NINETY-THREE - SYNERGY
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
Married On A Whim CHAPTER NINETY-TWO - PAINTING
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. Mr Brooke has inst
