Married On A Whim CHAPTER THIRTEEN - COUNTERSUIT
Amelia decided to stay at the office that day so that she could prepare herself for the court case the next day. She needed to be fully prepared in case of any trick the perpetrator had up his sleeve.The message that popped up showed that it was Mr. Alex that was responsible for the mishap of the company but she had a gnawing feeling that it was more than this.She sighed as she looked at the documents in front of her. She had analyzed the evidence in front of her and with it everything should lead to her success but she felt an unease within her.Ann entered the office to meet her in a daze. The light called on the desk and broke Amelia from her reverie.“I'm sorry ma but Mr. Vincent would like to see you,” Ann said.“Alright send him in” She could be SE some company right now.One of the reasons she was also comfortable staying in the office was because all through the week Nathaniel had stayed at work so the house was very boring and lonely at home. At work, there was Ann and work

The reporters were like hawks ready to eat down their prey as they swarmed her with questions one after the other.“How do you plan on solving the issue of the famous model Anna Lopez calling your jewelry trash”“How can we be sure that your jewelry is authentic and not fake like Anna Lopez described”“How do you expect the public to trust you again after such an incident has occurred”“Do you think all these problems arose because of your incompetence as a CEO to handle the business?”“You have certainly won the case against Vanity Fair House but can you win the case of the pack of trust that has been built by your loyal customers?”Amelia smiled and waited for them to ask their questions before she intervened.“Thank you all for your questions. Today I'll be clarifying the news on our profits that have been circulating in the country”.“Firstly, as you have just witnessed, Stone Jade Palace does not sell pirated works nor do we engage in breaking copyright laws. We are an honest com

Amelia decided not to go to work again but to celebrate her achievement by shopping. She decided to also use the time to visit some places she knew in the neighboring areas. After being abroad for long she needed to familiarize herself with the changes in the place.“You two can carry on to the company. Ann! Announce to the staff that they can take a break for the rest of the day in light of our win in court today. Also, schedule a meeting with the executives tomorrow. I need to execute the second phase of the company” Amelia said as she dropped them off close to the company area.Amelia decided to go to Shantel Stores. They sold the best bags there and she wanted to be in a better mood by buying things she liked. Soon enough, she arrived at the store and picked out some bags she liked.As she went to the checkout, there was a scuffle between one of the two people.“Don't touch those bags. Where are the attendants in this place? How would you allow a nobody to come and touch expensive

SLAP!This time it was Shany who did the slapping. “How could you say that it was a mistake? You had the nerve to cheat and you call it a mistake?Edward grew livid but tried to calm himself down. “Don't listen to this lady. Who is she to you anyway. How come I don't know her and what right does she have to interfere in our relationship”.Amelia chuckled and said “Like I told you earlier. There is no relationship between the two of us anymore. I am a married woman now. You are free to spend it with whomever you choose”“Since you are now the CEO of the company. It means you must have been married” Edward said, realizing it.“Didn't you hear all that I had said earlier. You must be really daft. And to think I ever liked you”.“You whore” he said pointing to her. “You quickly found a replacement for me. Is that not absurd? You must also have been cheating and have used this opportunity to get down with your lover”Amelia sneered as she looked at him in disgust. “I am nothing like you.

Amelia got home that evening feeling happy and exhausted at the same time. Everything had gone according to plan and the stock prices had even gone higher than she had expected. This was a good achievement.Although she couldn't help but feel sour over her meeting with Edward. She had poured all of herself into loving him so it was impossible for her not to feel hurt after catching him cheating.She would never go back to him of course, but that doesn't mean she couldn't feel angry about it. The more she thought about it, the more her mood turned sour, and soon the happiness from her achievements was gone.She entered her room to see Nathaniel on the table beside the bed, reading the news on his tablet. This scene brought inexplicable warmness to her heart and she quickly shrugged it off.She was not expecting him to be at home since he had not been around for the past week. They haven't even had any proper conversation since they got married. They were basically strangers who were co

The next day Amelia got to the office and called a meeting with the executives and the heads of department. They were to launch the second phase of the company development.As regards when she had first had a meeting with the executives, this time they were a lot calmer and more respectful than before. She could see that they were all happy with the recent development in the company's stock price.“You all were quick to kick at me when the stock prices were dropping and now you don't even dare to acknowledge the fact that I had increased the stock price by five times its original value” she sneered.“You have done well” they chorused at the same time.Amelia didn't take their praise to heart. She had managed to shut them up for now but in the future, if there is any crisis, they would be the first to complain and move for her to step down from her position.“The reason why I have called for this meeting is to execute the second phase of the development of my plan to take this company

Amelia quickly went out and headed to the meeting room. She made sure that everything was ready for the cooperation. Soon enough the executives from Reynolds Corporations came into the meeting room.Amelia greeted them all perfunctorily and gestured to them to sit down so that they could start the meeting. If she could secure this cooperation, then things would turn around for the company. It would bring more investors to invest in the company and would take the company to greater heights.The meeting went on smoothly as Amelia presented her business proposal to them. After scrutiny and proper discussions, they agreed.The executives of Reynolds Corporations were surprised at how fast the meeting had gone. Their boss, who was known in the company for his decisive decisions, did not waste time in accepting the business proposal.Usually, for them, it would take a lot of meetings and discussion groups for them to approve business cooperation.They were surprised when their CEO told them

Ann was surprised, but she immediately complied and called the make-up artists to prepare her for the photo shoot. Fortunately, the clothes that had been prepared for the model were the same size as hers and so she wore them without any hassle.Ann was very pleased and complimented her. “You look really beautiful ma. Nothing like your usual terrifying office self. You look like a fairy in a painting that has come to life.The only problem now was finding a male to pose for the photo shoot. Ann quickly thought of something but she was hesitant to say it. Amelia noticed her discomposure and asked. “What is it that you are thinking”.“Ma'am we have two handsome males who were even mistaken to be models and celebrities. Can we not just ask one to do the photo shoot?”Just then Vincent walked into the room. He was stunned upon looking at Amelia. He quickly fixed his expression and averted his gaze.“I heard that we are having problems with the Models showing up. I hope you don't mind ma CE

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.

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
