Married On A Whim CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE - AN INVITATION
A few days had past since the incident at the Stone's Grand residence. Amelia had been avoiding Nathaniel since that night. She had decided to move out from the room they were both occupying together.They were only married in name and not by love or any other string emotions, so there was no reason for them to stay in the same bedroom. And plus Amelia was no fool she found out that she had an attraction to Nathaniel which was not good for their relationship. The less contact she had within the better.She had not been able to sleep well these past few nights. Anytime she felt Nathaniel on the bed, her body immediately became tense and she would not be able to sleep properly.Meanwhile Nathaniel had noticed and only smiled to himself everytime. With her falling for him, it would be easier for him to achieve his plans if taking her company.On this day Amelia had gone to work late because she had slept late due to her not being comfortable on her bed. Fortunately her going to late wou

Amelia slept in the office that night and the next day, Ann brought some clothes for her to wear. Ann was really capable as she had taken note of the brand of clothes that Amelia usually wore but Amelia couldn't help but notice that the clothes that Ann had picked weren't really her style.“Why did you pick this style of clothes Ann? You know that this is not the style of clothes I usually wear”“Oh! The people you would be meeting at the socialite gathering are all sophisticated people ma. Though your usual style of clothes is good. They are not suitable for the kind of gathering you are going to”“You need clothes that would make you stand out. From working with you, I have learned that you are not bothered about the envious gaze or jealousy from people”.“Wearing this style of clothes would attract attention to you, both positively and negatively. The clothes would make you stand out and I can assure you that they are expensive and are worth you wearing them” Ann explained.Amelia

The ladies in the room quickly adjusted themselves and stopped talking as soon as she entered the room. Amelia pretended as I'd she hadn't heard what they had said and sat down on one of the chairs in the room. “Good day. I'm happy to meet everyone. It such a privilege to be invited by you all to your gathering” Amelia said but rolled her eyes in her mind.As she spoke, a few women came to meet her. She was glad that Ann had chosen such a dress for her as she could see them all staring at her clothes. Their clothes were undeniably good but they were nothing close to the ones she was wearing.“Nice to meet you, Miss Stone. I'm Sandra. Is it right if I call you by your first name Amelia?Amelia surveyed the person before her. She was beautiful but not the type that would drag a person's breath away. Just easy on the eyes. She had those fake smiles plastered on her face and Amelia could tell at once that she was only faking it and the woman may harbor evil intentions toward her.“No ne

Amelia could have never known that there was a person so good at disguising their true intentions that her discerning nature failed to capture them.Amelia oblivious to the fact that she was being targeted against went to the food section. Apart from the occasional street food she usually ate. It had been a long time since she consumed so much junk like this. She was surprised as she had expected the socialites to be all cocktails and expensive dishes and not this.“Staring at the food. You must be surprised too”Amelia turned towards the voice and saw a lady who looked to be in her forties. She looked refined and regal but with a hint of youthful blush on her. She remembered that this was the woman who had been talking about her when she had come to the gathering. “That surprised look was the same as every one of us in the gathering gave when I asked that street food be served at the next gathering. Now all that have tasted it have no problem with it. I hope you won't have problems

Instead of answering the question, she just laughed as if she was having a good time. “Oh! Amelia. Why don't you tell her or don't you want to acknowledge your sister now that you are famous?Sylvie's eyes narrowed as he finally figured out who the person was. She snorted in contempt. How was this shameful disgrace of a daughter able to enter their gathering?“How did you get into this gathering? And how did you know about the invitation that I sent to Amelia? “It's not hard seeing as everyone in the gathering knows it. I should be the one accusing you. I am obviously of the same social status as the people in this gathering and yet I was not invited.“But you were quick to invite this slut who dared to seduce LA's most dashing young man, Jonathan Bailey. Maybe you want her to give you tips on how to seduce men so that you can rise above your current status. Do I doubt that will be possible seeing as you are advancing in age”.“Slap! Slap!”Sylvie immediately launched two slaps on h

Before anyone could control the situation. Someone had taken a glass of champagne and poured it on Becca.Becca immediately screamed as she felt the champagne touched her clothes. Even though these clothes were not as expensive as the ones Amelia wore, they still cost a lot of money and she had saved up a while to get such clothes for herself.In anger, she grabbed onto the woman who had done this and slapped her hard. “How dare you pour champagne on me? Do you know how much my clothes are worth?The woman was livid. She hated the way Becca had insulted Madam Sylvie and naturally wanted to take revenge for her. She didn't expect that Becca would fight back and even slap her.She had never been slapped in her life and now this bitch actually did it. She was going to kill her. She immediately reached into her wallet and threw a stack of cash on Becca. “That was payback for ruining your dress. How about the payback for the slap you gave to me?Becca moved back in fear as she heard what

And with the way she had only defended Sylvie with her words which automatically defended Amelia, there would not be suspicion against her. She would just need to plan better and more carefully next time to deal with Amelia.With Becca gone, the people who had crowded together soon dispersed with others going to continue their catching up with acquaintances.Cass walked closer to Amelia's hugged her. “I'm sorry that such a thing had to happen in your first time at our gathering. Such a thing had not happened before. We would make sure to find the culprit and deal with whoever the person is”.Amelia, who originally had a good opinion of Cass, saw her in a better light. Even as the other people left without saying anything she came forward to give her comfort.She disengaged the hug. “I have a few things to do. I'll be leaving now. Just enjoy the rest of your time in the gathering before you go back later” she said as she left the room.Unknown to Amelia, those words that she had said w

He had met a lot of women in the past but no one could stir his heart like she did.

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
