MY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MR ARROGANT

Amelia stared at her phone screen worriedly, she was currently on a video call with Louisa.

“I tried talking to her Amy but she …. please speak with her”

Louisa turned the phone towards Chloe, who was sitting quietly on the top of a drawer.

“Sweetie, is everything alright?”

Chloe raised raised her head, and rubbed her eyes that were red.

“I don’t want to talk to anyone!” she protested placing her small hands against her ears.

“See what I said?” Louisa asked, Amelia sighed at the other end.

“She is in such a bad mood, what could have happened to her?”

Louisa glanced briefly at Chloe before moving a distance away from her. “Mr Grayson is being unnecessarily harsh on her, I know his stepmom and half brother has done so much to him but Chloe is just a child”

Amelia tapped her head, that husband of hers never learns, she had said a lot when it came to how hard he was on his sister.

Just then he came in with a smile, “Dear wifey I already …” he paused mid way after she glared at him.

“Liam what exactly did you say to Chloe to upset her? she doesn’t want to talk to anyone”

Liam snorted, how dramatic of her, “well… good for everyone!”

“This is super serious, I’ve told you before that Chloe isn’t responsible for anything that happened to you, why can’t you see how much she truly adores you even though she was raised by your family who hates your existence?”

Amelia shook her head, how could she convince Liam on this? Chloe must have grown up hearing all soughts of things about him, but she still chose to accept him as her brother.

Amelia took his hand and placed her phone on his palm.”Fix this up and make sure to put a smile on her face otherwise I won’t speak to you anymore” Amelia threatened.

Liam stared at the screen, he could tell that the child was angry, but how was he going to cheer her up?

He cleared his throat to gain her attention but she remained unmoved.

“Chloe guess who wants to speak with you” Louisa muttered.

“I said I don’t want to speak with anyone!” Chloe yelled folding her arm.

“And what about me?”

Chloe raised her head to stare at the screen which Louisa was holding in front of her.

Her face brightened up a bit “Are you still upset with me? Clara?…

“it’s Chloe Liam!” Amelia lashed out at him, she knew he was doing this on purpose.

“Oh my bad! Chloe, I’m very … sorry for how I spoke to you a while back please forgive me”

Chloe tapped her chin for a while “I will think about it!” She pressed the red button and ended the call.

Liam sprang up to his feet staring at the blank screen.”Can you believe her bad manners? she wants to think about my apology? I’ll rip her mouth off as soon as I get the chance” Liam mumbled irritably.

Amelia chuckled “She is such a sweet little child Liam, don’t get so upset, and I think I love what she did, serves you right!” Amelia scorned..

Old Grayson came into the ward where mark was, he drew out a small stool which was placed under the bed and sat on it.

“Mark… are you awake?”

Mark’s eyelids fluttered open, he closed his eyes once more when he saw who it was.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I don’t want to talk to you for so long either, all I want to know is what happened between you and Liam?”

Mark remained quiet which annoyed old Grayson “will you speak up? I have various means to make you talk!” He threatened.

However, mark reached out to the small button beside his bed and pushed it several times. A nurse hurriedly walked in.

“Mr Grayson… the patient needs rest now if you don’t mind”

Old Grayson forced a smile at her, he returned his gaze back to his son, he leaned forward to mark. “You are trying to get rid of me .. huh? I will be back” He whispered and ruffled mark’s hair.

“Please take very good care of him, we have information that his life is in grave danger!”

The nurse nodded as response and watched him leave, mark opened his eyes after he heard the door close.

“If he tries to come in here again, you have every right to stop him”. Mark said softly to the nurse.

Karl entered his study room and banged the door shut after which it was opened again.

“Don’t try to avoid my questions Karl!” Anthony yelled furiously.

Karl slammed his hand on his desk “Mr Hart! you are in my territory! don’t try to raise your voice at me!”

“You know who your sister’s husband is and you don’t want to say his name? or are you perhaps scared of him? don’t I have the right to know about him?”.

Karl opened his drawer and took out a packet of cigarette, he took one out and lighted the butt. “She was with you today! why didn’t you ask her? I’m not Amelia…. go and meet her yourself and question her, how will I know who she got married to? we never get along with each other”

“Don’t lie to me Karl, even if I am blind I will still be able to see the affection and love you have for her, they are very visible”

Karl hissed in anger, he closed his eyes for a brief second. “Where did I go wrong?”

Karl’s question brought a pang of pain in Anthony’s heart. “You have every right to be mad at me, I admit I treated you unfairly but I need to know who your sister got married to”

“I don’t know…..”

“Clara Benson, a twenty four year old lady who lost her parents at an early age and was later sold into a brothel where…..” Anthony paused seeing that he had gotten Karl’s attention.

“I can give you every detail you need to know including her whereabout” Anthony mumbled and sat down in front of the huge table.

Karl’s demeanor softened, he had been searching for her ever since she left, he had thought it was one of those times they have argument and she leaves for a day or two but this time it was different.

Her absence had made him realize that he was nothing without her, she was his shoulder to cry on, his best friend, his fight mate and most importantly the only lady that caught his attention without doing much.

“Where is she?” his voice came out in a low growl.

Anthony brought out a brown envelope from his inner pocket and placed it in front of Karl. Karl picked the envelope and tore it open to reveal a picture of Clara.

“This picture was taken two days back, why don’t we make a deal, I will tell you her exact location and you will tell me who Amelia’s husband is”

Karl maintained eye contact with Anthony “Why are you so obsessed with Amelia’s husband?”

“Why are you so obsessed in finding Clara?” Anthony questioned back.

“And how do you expect me to trust your words?”

“Skye blue hotels room 105, in Goshen”

Karl’s lips parted in disbelief, as he stared at the picture in his hands. He didn’t think she will ever run to that place.

“I kept my part of the deal now it’s your turn”

Karl returned his gaze to Anthony “Liam Grayson!”
