Married On A Whim CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE - SUSPICION
“What! You have to go now? It hasn't even been twenty four hours. Matte what it is that has happened, you shouldn't just go back like that.”“I'm sorry, I also don't want to leave abruptly like this but I have to go back right now. With the news I've just received, I can't even be relaxed here so I need to go back.”“Who is going somewhere?” Nathaniel said as he came to the room where they were. He walked closer to them and pulled out a chair from underneath the table and sat down beside them.“I'm the one. Something has come up. I need to go and take care of it.”“What is it?”“Excuse me?”“What has come up? Share with me. I want to know the reason why you think it's ok to show up to our outing uninvited and exit yourself whenever you please. Tsk. So bold and daring of you!”“It's a business matter. I can tell you what it is. It's just that I need to go back to Los Angeles right now.”“You can't go back now?”Amelia furrowed her brows. “What do you mean, that can't go back now? Are yo

Amelia went to Nathaniel's room in the lodge and sat down on the chair in the room. She picked up her phone and looked at the message again. She felt livid. That bastard child had made a way to enter into her mother's company. She must make sure to oust him as soon as possible.She checked on the weather forecast and true to Nathaniel's words, there was a storm coming up and she knew better than anyone else that flying in such a tumultuous situation was very dangerous.She immediately picked up her phone and dialed her assistant's number.Ann immediately picked up before the phone could ring out. It was as if she had been expecting Amelia to call her all this while.“Hello ma. What do you want me to do?”“How is the situation in the company? What is he doing there and who supported the decision to make him a head of a department?”“I'm sorry ma. I tried to stall for time but they wouldn't let me. It was as if the yad been monitoring you to know when you would not be around so that they

Amelia was dressed in a cute pink swimsuit that brought all her figure out. Under the pool light, she looked extremely alluring and Andrew could not seem to take his eyes off her as he ogled on. Who could blame him? Amelia was very beautiful and she would have the same effect on any man even if he was celibate.Andrew noticed himself staring, coughed and shifted his eyes. He couldn't make it too obvious that he was interested in her lest she become wary and avoid him completely. But with the way he had stared at her, how could Amelia not have felt it.So that she would not make things awkward between them, she chose to avoid it. She should have gotten a more baggy swimsuit, then what happened wouldn't have happened.She immediately entered the water as soon as she reached it. The water seemed to calm down her nerves. She just closed her eyes and allowed the water to soothe her. Swimming in the pool was jot a bad option. It was rather calming. And right now, she needed a calm mind to th

“My mother was my father's mistress. They had met in a hotel when he went for a business conference. My mother did not know at that time that my father was married. She fell in love with him and like a scoundrel and a rascal that he is, he slept with her and impregnated her.”“The business conference lasted two months, so my mother was aware of the pregnancy before my father left. With joy, she told him of the pregnancy only to receive rejection and stern warning from my father. He then broke the news to her that he was married and already had two children.”“My father then offered to pay her off and make her disappear from his life. My mother refused. She never liked my father for his money and would not accept a dime from him. She resigned from her work in the hotel and left with the pregnancy. She was determined to raise me by herself and make sure that I never meet my father.”“She went back to her parents but she was rejected as they were from a poor background and could not suppo

Andrew was surprised. So he had even met her before and he was not able to seize the opportunity. He wished he could go back in time and correct his mistake. But even if he went back in time that does not mean that Amelia would accept him.“If you knew me from Mayfair University, why were you so averse to me when we met at one of my shopping malls back then?”“I didn't want any trouble or scandal from you. I just wanted to keep a low profile and besides even if I had told you would you have believed me? You would have thought that I'm one of those young girls who go about chasing handsome men.”Andrew smiled. “So your agree that I'm handsome.”“How did you change… ugh forget it. Yes you are handsome. Is there any problem with it. I know how to appreciate beauty when I see it.”“Who is handsome?” they heard Nathaniel ask as he walked up to them together with Jonathan and David. He frowned upon seeing them together in the pool. Even though they were not close, he still felt a rage upon

Andrew frowned. He knew the subtle message Jonathan wanted to tell him. But he was not going to back off. After all Nathaniel did not love Amelia and they were only in a contract marriage. He could even bet on it that they had not consummated their marriage. Not that it mattered though.“Alright. You also do the same. Why don't I pay a visit to your mom? It's been long since I saw her.”“You….”“Alright! That's enough” David quickly intervened before they both start an argument. He then turned to Nathaniel. “I want to ask you something Nathaniel.” Nathaniel furrowed his brows but he nodded nonetheless giving him a go ahead to ask his question.“We all know that you are averse to women and the last thing you would do is to marry. Don't tell me you may have gone past your aversion to women and your are actually in love with her?”“What if I am?”“You selfish bastard. You only think about yourself. Don't forget that there are people still after us. If you don't love Amelia then let her

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

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

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
