Chapter 43_ Jealous
Amelia placed the hair dryer on the vanity table with a little more force than normal, she couldn’t believe how Liam managed to warm his way into her mum’s heart.
Liam wondered what was wrong with her, she has been behaving strangely ever since they were at the dining.
Amelia moved back on the chair causing it to make a screeching noise, Liam was getting irritated by the noise she keeps on making.
He was currently on a business video call and he was getting distracted by her constant noise, he sighed taking his laptop off to the balcony.
Amelia was annoyed by his nonchalant behavior and bounced on the bed spreading her arms and legs wide open.
Liam returned back to the room after he was done with his business call, His eyes fell on Amelia who was sprawled on the bed leaving a little or no space at all.
Liam grabbed two pillows from the bed and walked towards the sofa he took a big blanket from his closet and laid down on the sofa.
Amelia sat up on the bed “Liam you can stay on the bed you might get a cramp lying on the sofa” Amelia worriedly said.
Liam remained unmoved from his current position which only made Amelia wonder if he has slept off already, but that was not possible how could he suddenly fall asleep.
She came down from the bed and stood beside the sofa Liam was sleeping on. “I admit I was being a bit difficult but what could I do seeing you get all the attention meant for me” Amelia whined with crossed arm.
In the next second she fell on his body bumping her head against his hard chest after Liam pulled her.
“So you were jealous of the attention your mum was giving me? how childish of you”. Amelia placed her head on his chest listening to his heart beat.
“Yes I was a bit jealous but I’m over it now remember I promised to be nice to you from now on” she pulled herself away from him walking towards the bed.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Immediately Liam’s back touched his bed he dozed off, Amelia heard his deep breathing and raised her head to stare at his sleeping face.
She supported her head with her elbow, she allowed her fingers caress his midnight black hair that was so soft and pleasant to touch.
She glanced towards the wall that leads to the secret compartment and stood up walking to the shelf where the tiny golden statue sat still.
Amelia pulled the dog statue and the wall opened, she looked back at the sleeping Liam once more before going in.
She entered the dark passage till she got to the room where Liam’s mum was staying. The doctor and nurses were already familiar with her by now and didn’t question her presence.
She noticed that the various tubes that were attached to her were nowhere to be found except an oxygen mask that aided her to breath.
“How many more years will you remain this way? your son really needs your love and motherly affection he has been lonely all these years”.
The doctor came over to check on Brianna “Mr Grayson is the one who normally comes around every night I wonder why he didn’t come today”.
“Do you know what happened to her?” Amelia asked with the hope of getting an answer from him since Liam was being too secretive about everything.
“No one except her knows anything but all I know is that she has been in this state for the past fifteen years” the doctor said and left the two alone.
For fifteen whole years? that was a bummer. “so this means that Liam has been waiting for fifteen whole years hoping for his mum to wake up” she mumbled beneath her breath.
Amelia gently took Brianna’s frail hand in hers “don’t worry I’m here now I’ll help you look after your son until you wake up”.
Amelia vowed and planted a small kiss at the back Brianna’s hand. She turned around and began walking away. Brianna’s eyes snapped open immediately Amelia turned away..
..
Amelia returned to the room and snuggled close to Liam placing her head on his chest. She slowly drifted into sleep mode.
Liam opened his eyes slowly the next morning, last night was the first time he had a sound sleep after all these years that passed by.
He turned to his side to find it empty and cold, his eyes scanned the room for Amelia but he couldn’t find a trace of her.
He was quite surprised that she wasn’t around to bug him as always, he walked into the bathroom to freshen up without knocking on the door he pulled it and at the same time Amelia pushed open the door.
She was caught off guard and slipped on the tiled floor, with fast reflexes Liam caught her but slipped also.
Amelia fell into the bath tub pulling Liam with her. Their gazes locked for a moment before Amelia snapped out of her daze “You should have knocked before opening the door what if I was…
Liam smirked placing his finger to her lips “There’s really nothing to hide before me I’ve seen everything”.
Liam whispered into her ears causing her to shudder, Amelia turned crimson red, must he remind her of that night over and over again?.
He carefully stood up and supported her to stand on her feet. “Pervert! stop reminding me of that or I’ll sure I break my promise on being nice to you”.
Liam wasn’t threatened by her silly threat, he couldn’t agree less that he didn’t prefer her daring side to her nice side..
..
Amelia sat in front of the vanity table straightening her hair, she looked through the mirror to see Liam going through a file. “Mr Arrogant” she called out for Liam to look up from his file.
“remember when I told you about a new cleaner you should hire? he ruined my car yesterday and I want him to eat dust”.
Liam wondered who the unfortunate person could be. “who is he?”. Liam replied with an uninterested tone. “Greg!”.
Liam raised his head to meet her face in the mirror, “Sometimes you have to let things go and stop behaving like a kid”.
Amelia scrunched her face but not at Liam’s words but because of her hair, she really didn’t like straightening her hair. “Seems I need to visit the hair saloon before I go on set” she mumbled loud enough for Liam to hear.
“Don’t waste your time and money” he scoffed loudly leaving the room. Amelia gasped turning back to the mirror. “Was that a compliment or an insult?” she asked herself confusedly.
Liam hurried down heading out with his guards who were already waiting for him in the large living room. “Liam don’t leave without having your breakfast”. He stopped in his tracks and turned to Cecile who was smiling at him sweetly.
“Good morning” liam let out a small smile that made him look like he was holding a fart. “Good morning dear” Cecile returned back his greetings collecting his briefcase she led him to the dining table.
Liam didn’t have the heart to refute her kind gestures and offers, he became curious on why Amelia was full of trouble and mischief when her mother was so nice and caring.
He opened his mouth eating from the spoon she used to feed him, Amelia came down to join them for breakfast and again her mum didn’t spare her a glance.
“Good morning mum” Amelia greeted her mum taking a seat next to Liam. “Good morning sweetheart”.
Amelia collected the spoon from her mum “Mum he is my husband not yours I’ll feed him myself since he is now a big baby”
Cecile scolded Amelia with her eyes which made Amelia roll her eyes.
Liam glanced at his wrist watch and stood up. “I’ll be on my way now I’m a bit late for a meeting”
They heard a hurried and fast paced footsteps heading their way, Liam turned back to see his assistant panting heavily. “Boss there is a huge problem”.
“What is it Lucas?” Liam ordered. Lucas breathed out “A part of the company has been burnt badly, we suspect it was done by one of our rival companies”. Liam’s eyes reddened in anger.
