Married 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

Amelia immediately moved back away from him. She was still surprised by the kiss he had given her earlier. Thank was her first kiss and he just stole it like that. Even though she was with Edward for a while, they had never gotten intimate and she was never kissed by him. She knew he did it to help her but that didn't make it any right. “What are you saying? Do you think it is ok to kiss someone without their permission? Don't try it again.”Nathaniel just sneered as his face contorted into a frown. Amelia shivered as she felt the temperature in the car fall to a lower degree.“I see you do not know how to show gratitude,” Nathaniel said as his eyes narrowed, clearly displeased.Amelia only sighed and yawned as she was very exhausted from today's activities. “Oh! Is that it? Then you could have just said that you want me to show gratitude instead of beating around the bush.”“So it is only when people express it that you know that you are supposed to thank them.”“Don't be unreasonab

Andrew was shocked as Amelia called him to meet with him. He had given her his number the other time but he never thought that she would ever dial it. He was ecstatic nonetheless. But he was somewhat worried. He wondered what was it that made Amelia actively seek him out.Was she leaving Nathaniel and wanted protection from him? No! He had watched too much drama and was thinking a lot of rubbish.Andrew immediately suspended all the activities he had for the day. For the sake of secrecy from the media, they had chosen a not-so-popular restaurant to meet in. Internally, Andrew was very excited. It looked as if they were going on a secret date.By noon he was already at the location of the restaurant where they were to meet up. He entered the restaurant to meet Jonathan sitting at one of the tables. He immediately frowned. What was he doing here? Had Amelia also called for him?Jonathan had already seen him walk into the restaurant so he naturally had to go and meet him. Meanwhile, Jona

“What!!!” Andrew exclaimed. His face was scrunched up already at hearing what Amelia had said. This was bad, really hard. If Nathaniel was doing this, then it would make it harder for him to get closer to Amelia. He couldn't help but remember what Jonathan had said. “You've seen the way Nathaniel behaved because of her. Even if he doesn't care to admit it, he has started to develop feelings for her.”He clenched his fists under the table, he was very anxious inside and was trying his best to let it not spill so that Amelia would not suspect anything. “Calm down,” Jonathan said as he placed his hands on Andrew. Even upon hearing the news, he could still think rationally. Well Andrew was not the scheming type and he could be if he wanted to but he just loved to take life easy and do as he wished.“Amelia, why do you think that Nathaniel wants to do this? Have you angered him in any way?”“I don't think I have. He said it after an argument we had yesterday and he seems to be very serio

Amelia nodded her head as she heard the plan that Jonathan had formulated. Though it was kind of cheesy, she was still ready to try it. After all, she had her foolproof plan just in case that didn't go as planned.Andrew was worried about it. “Jon, do you think it would work?”Jonathan only smiled as he beckoned to one of the waiters “Don’t worry. Though it seems ridiculous, it should work out perfectly. Now let us eat.”Amelia nodded her head in agreement as she picked up the menu. Though it was not a popular restaurant, the dishes here were very good. She had stumbled on this restaurant when she first came back to the country and wanted someplace to eat quietly.“Since I invited you guys here then today's meal would be my treat. Order as much as you want.”“Don't worry, I am a man. I do not need you to pay….”“Alright!” Jonathan said, cutting Andrew off. “Did I ever tell you that I like free things?”Amelia gave a small laugh as she heard him. “No, you didn't. Who would have thought

What?" Andrew exclaimed, stunned by what he'd just heard. Why did he say that? "He never breaks his word, so why did he change his mind so quickly?" Jonathan exhaled and smiled briefly. "I'm sorry, Amelia, but I think our little marketing tactic may have caused this." Amelia was confused. "What does our marketing tactic have to do with any of this?" “The social media post. I believe he might have seen it. You know how netizens are—they can say anything, including how nice we look as a couple. That might have caused him to reveal that you are his wife. Amelia scoffed. "That's not possible. After all, you are his friend. He would never be angry about something like that. Besides, we mean nothing to each other.I can't say the same for Nathaniel. He may have developed feelings for you. Do you think so?" “No, it is not possible. "There is no way he has fallen for me." Andrew gave Jonathan a suspicious look. He knew his friend was very strategic and did not share facts without a cause

Amelia arrived at Brookes Corporation after a short drive. Fortunately, the restaurant where she had scheduled her meeting was only an hour away, so she didn't feel confined on the journey. She stepped out of the car and took in the view of the massive structure before her. The structure was stunning—almost too impressive for this part of the country. The building's design appeared to compete with even the offices she had seen abroad. The Brookes must have spent a lot of time and money to build such a spectacular structure. Amelia entered the building, and the interior was just as incredible as the exterior. She walked straight to the reception desk, where a young woman was, busy with her work.Excuse me, please. "I'd like to see Mr. Brooke," Amelia stated politely. The receptionist looked up and instantly measured her up, her sharp gaze examining Amelia's outfit. When she noticed Amelia wasn't wearing any high-end brands, her attitude changed to one of disgust. To her, Amelia appe

The security turned back to see who it was and they immediately bowed their heads on seeing who it was. Even though the person before them was a driver, they knew very well what power this driver had and knew not to mess with him.“Good day, Mr. Nabu. How may we be of service to you?”“I asked what was going on here. Or do I look like a fool for asking?”“No…. Sir” the security officer stammered. Being with Mr. Jonathan had clearly made him develop an aura that was intimidating to normal people. “I was about to teach this bitch a lesson for trespassing into the company and assaulting the company's staff,” the security officer said and stepped back.Amelia was blocked from Mr. Nabu's view by the security officers when they stepped back. She came into Mr. Nabu's view.His eyes then immediately opened as he knelt. “I'm sorry ma for the inconvenience caused. I should have followed you inside immediately but I needed that take care of something first. I'm sorry for the humiliation and pain

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
Married On A Whim CHAPTER NINETY-SIX - JEALOUS
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
