MY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MR ARROGANT

Old Grayson was fuming in anger while he watched the news, Angie glanced at Nicholas meaningfully nodding at him. “Grandpa see for yourself how incompetent Liam is! our stocks might drop if this isn’t taken care of”.

Nicholas said hoping to poison his grand father’s mind against Liam.

Mark faced his father “father this isn’t Liam’s fault, accident happen and I’m sure it was nothing more than an accident”. Mike defended.

Old Grayson stood up looking at Nicholas “time and time again Liam has proven to be the black sheep of the family stop trying to defend him every now and then”.

Mark sighed walking to his father “What are you talking about? Liam has put every drop of his sweat and blood to make our companies go high and stand out in the business world”.

“isn’t it weird that you are doing everything to defend the boy who doesn’t see you as a father that son of yours hates you to the moon and back!” Angie scorned.

Mark raised his hand to silence her “your opinion is not needed here now! why don’t you train Nicholas to be a better person instead and let me see how far he will go!” Mark spat back.

Old Grayson banged his staff on the table for the couples to keep quiet. “I have heard enough of you two the only thing left is for Liam to step down from his current position as the CEO of the company!”.

The mother and son duo stared at each other in shock and disbelief..

..

Amelia coughed out loudly, she couldn’t see anything going on in front of her all she could see was the fire that was already coming close to her side, Hot sweat broke out from her body as she felt the heat of the fire hitting her skin.

She could only hear the sound of bones cracking and cries of pleas.

Liam entered the room where Amelia was tied up, the fire was already spreading, his eyes showed fear when he saw how she was struggling to breathe.

Some of his guards were fighting off Karl’s men while the rest were with him, “Go and get some water hurry!” he ordered.

Amelia’s head fell backwards gasping for breath, she was quite relieved when she heard his voice and she was also happy that Liam was able to find her. “Liam” she called out softly.

Liam pulled off his coat wrapping it around himself and jumped into the fire where Amelia was tied up.

He threw his coat down that was starting to burn stepping on it to quench the fire, his gaze returned to Amelia who was gasping for air. He started untying her from the chair, her head fell forward towards him.

Amelia smelt his familiar scent and slowly opened her eyes “you came” she smiled at him before closing her eyes.

“open your eyes!” he called out tapping her chin, Amelia passed out feeling secured that he was around.

Liam embraced Amelia after a cold water splashed on them, the fire around them slowly quenched after his guards threw water to quench the fire around them

“Get the car ready!” He ordered lifting Amelia up.

..

Liam tapped her chin gently for her to wake up “Amelia open your eyes” he whispered gently.

He saw her eyelids move a bit before her lips drew into a thin smile. “For the first time you called my name” she mumbled coughing out slightly.

Liam stared at her in disbelief, she wasn’t wrong though he really hasn’t address her by her name before now. “Crazy girl!” he muttered..

..

The doctor came out of Amelia’s ward walking to Liam “Mr Grayson she is out of danger for now, her lungs were filled with smoke, she is under observation for now”.

Liam sighed in relief “How long will it take for her to recover completely?” Liam inquired.

“She will recover within a week”.

Liam nodded in response “Good” he mumbled leaving the hospital, he had some unfinished business to deal with..

..

Karl stared at the ground avoiding the gaze of the man in front of him. “I know how to get words out of people like you” Liam barked at Karl. He rolled up his sleeves and took off his tie.

Liam picked up a long whip from the table walking to Karl who was tied to a pillar in an underground room he uses to torture people like him, Karl let out a shrill groan when the whip met his skin. The piece of clothing surrounding that area tore because of the impact.

Clara continued sobbing watching how Liam thrashed Karl, Liam continued whipping him until he decided to speak. “Let me speak! I’ll say everything!” Karl cried out.

He couldn’t tolerate anymore beatings from Liam again. “I’m all ears” Liam responded pulling a chair to sit in front of Karl.

Karl spat out blood before facing Liam “It started years ago when I was about nine years of age I was searching for my dad and was lost in the big city. That was when I saw Amelia with her parents and worst of all the man in the photo I was holding was happily walking with the mother and daughter”. Kyle paused letting out a soft sigh. Liam was suddenly piqued by his story he could foresee an unexpected twist about to come.

“I went forward to approach them but was labeled as a mad street boy who picked a photograph from a studio’s waste bin, few days later my mother and I saw Amelia rescuing an unconscious boy from a fire we went over to help but my mum was pushed into the fire that claimed her life and made me spend my childhood days at the orphanage years later I found my biological father but I was denied of my right as an heir all because of Amelia, my father had willed everything under her name and the only way to get everything back was only if she was dead”.

Liam relaxed back on his seat, he knew this story has a twist “So in other words you were trying to kill your step sister?”.

Karl spat in disgust “I lost my mother because of her and I was deprived of my father’s love and my rights”..

..

Liam held the blueprints of his building that was destroyed today “The construction should start as soon as possible” Liam ordered giving the blueprints back to his assistant.

“Liam!” old Grayson called out through gritted teeth.

Liam could tell why his grandfather was here, he turned around to meet his gray orbs that were glowing in anger and it wasn’t only him it looks like the rest invited themselves too.

“One thing I hate the most is uninvited guests” Liam said in disdain walking towards his window looking out. he would rather look out staring at nothing than to stare at their faces.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

He felt a tight embrace that encircled his legs, he knew who it was the only one apart from Amelia who wasn’t scared to come close to him. “Big bro I wasn’t able to meet you the last time you came around”. Little Chloe said cutely.

Liam turned around and gave her a mean look which she totally ignored and tightened the embrace more. “Chloe come here this instant!” Angie barked angrily at her stubborn daughter.

“What gave you all the right to step into my home whereas I already forbade you from doing so”.

“we aren’t interested in staying in your home, I have come to make this announcement to you I know you wouldn’t come if I asked you to so I have decided to…..

“Take away my position as the CEO of our company? before you guys made that decision and barged into my home did you forget that my mother merged her company with yours?” Liam chipped in completing old Grayson’s words.

Mark lowered his gaze even he was a little scared to maintain high contact with his son, that was how sour their relationship has gone. “yes she did but…

“No buts! my mum willed her companies into my name and as my right as the first grandson of your family I have everything willed to my name so what makes you think that you can snatch what I worked hard for from me?”.

Liam barked angrily at them rendering them all speechless. “But we’ve seen how careless you are when it came to handling the company of recent” Nicholas added.

“So do you think you are capable of handling the company more than me? well then first you have to be a real man and lastly I can’t let an illegitimate son handle the company that I have worked hard for”.

The room fell quiet as Liam’s words replayed in their minds.

“And before I loose my cool you all should leave this instant and never show your face in my house!” he added.

“Son it’s not like…

Liam was irked when mark addressed him as his son “I don’t have a father only a mother and I don’t want anything to do with your family and if you think that I’ll leave my mum’s company in your hands then you all her big time jokers”.

Old Grayson clutched his staff tightly, he couldn’t believe the hatred Liam had for the people who gave him a name, he was equally at fault for what was going on how he wished Brianna was still alive to see the man her son has turned out to be.

In all of the commotion going on Nicholas mind wasn’t really there his eyes was scanning the whole place for Amelia, a glimpse was even enough for him.

Angie was agitated when Liam addressed her son as illegitimate.

Liam walked out on them ignoring the kid that was calling after him.

Cecile watched in awe and surprise, how can a whole family turn against there son this way? No one will ever believe that such a reputable family can have such crisis among them.

She just hope they leave before her drama queen daughter comes down from her sickbed to create a scene.

“That cursed boy! mark did you hear that? you love defending him don’t you? did you see the way he spoke to father? and he called our son illegitimate!” Angie barked, Liam was biting more than he can chew.

Mark sat down on the couch bowing his head down in agony, how would he face the world once they find out that his son sees him as a murderer? he couldn’t stand it.

“he still believes that I’m responsible for his mother’s death, but how can I explain this to him? he can’t even stand me so how on earth can he listen to me?” Mark sobbed.

“So Brianna willed everything to Liam’s name before she died? how come you never told me? my son would have been the owner of those riches” Angie mumbled.

Old Grayson glanced at his son and shook his head at his pitiable condition. “Why are you getting emotional? The son’s of the Grayson’s never cries, have you seen Liam cry? so why would you? wipe those tears off”. old Grayson scolded.

“Father mark is always pitiable he gets emotional whenever he remembers that witch and he is trying to atone for his son’s by caring for her pathetic son”.

“What is going on here?”
