Chapter 107_ The lesson they deserved
Amelia moved back a little away from the fire, she enjoyed watching the fear that crossed past their faces. She smirked as her eyes met old Grayson’s grey orbs that were glowing in anger.
“This is only the beginning Mr Grayson, you will watch your apartment burn out in front of you and you won’t be able to move from that spot!” she scorned and turned around to leave.
“You thought this was our initial plan? we only did that to plant a doubt in Liam’s mind but brace yourself dear you will soon face the bigger one”
Amelia gritted her teeth in anger, her last shred of sanity was broken. She walked towards the table and grabbed another bottle.
Louisa held her back taking her out of the apartment.
“Let go of me!! that oldie deserves to die!” she screamed out frantically pushing and scratching Louisa.
Louisa closed her eyes and threw a slap at Amelia to bring her back to her right mind.
Amelia released a breath “Thanks I really needed that! we’ve done enough”

Brianna closed the magazine she was reading when Cecile strode in hurriedly.
“Umm.. Cecile” she called out, Cecile stopped and turned to the direction of Brianna.
“I’m so sorry I didn’t see you there” she apologized walking towards the woman on the wheelchair.
“You look so furious”
Cecile ran her fingers softly at her hair and released a sigh. She didn’t know if she should tell Brianna about what her silly daughter did, she also had every right to know since it concerned her son too.
“I had a very hectic day at the hospital today” she lied.
Brianna sighed in relief “So how did the test go? should we be expecting some good news?”
Brianna’s face glowed in excitement which made it hard for Cecile to speak the truth.
“I need to check something I will be back”
Her ex husband and daughter has made her so mad today.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Stephanie came into the living room to meet the strange woman present there.
Brianna gasped softly, no one was supposed to see her except the trusted servants who had worked with Liam for some years.
“What are you doing in the main building? the servants quarters is at the other side”
Stephanie gulped down, was she seeing things now this lady had a striking resemblance to the late Mrs of the Grayson’s.
“You… are…
Stephanie stuttered pointing at Brianna in fright “Ghost!”
“I’m not a ghost you idiot! I’m Liam’s aunt not his dead mum, now go back to the servant quarters”
Stephanie scurried away holding her chest, she stopped at the corridor and took a last glance at the woman.
“Liam’s mum died years ago I’m sure she must be telling the truth”

Clara brought her hand forward and touched Dylan’s fisted hand that was resting on his laps.
“I’m a lady but I’m not so down like you, please smile at least once”
Dylan released a breath, he hated himself so much for ever being a playboy. Louisa didn’t want to have anything to do with him because of this stigma.
“Do you know how it feels for someone who you love to misjudge you even after you’ve changed your old habits?”
Clara nodded “I know how it feels Dylan, I met Karl at a brothel where I once used to entertain different men but he took me out of that filthy and disgusting world”
“And?” Dylan asked obviously piqued, looking at her alone one wouldn’t know that she was once a slut, she looked like a rich heiress.
“Karl gave me everything I wanted but I never knew that it was as a result of pity, I thought he loved me, he constantly reminded me of the favor he did for me”
Dylan was disheartened by her revelation, he squeezed her hand softly.
“I will promise you one thing Clara”
Clara’s eyes shone in anticipation. “What? tell me!” she requested eagerly.
“I will make Karl crawl on his kneels to have you back in his life, that’s a promise!” he declared to see her smile.
“And I will help you get Louisa no matter what it takes”
Dylan smirked, he didn’t believe that would be possible any more given the present situation.
“Don’t bother, I guess this was an eye opener for me to never toy with a lady’s feelings and I’ve learnt my lesson”
“Don’t kill your feelings like a coward try telling her first and hear her response”
Dylan bowed his head, he just can’t go through that same pain ever again. His phone rang on the picnic table.
He stared at the caller id, he wondered what Liam wants right now.
“Hey buddy!” he greeted with a hint of boredom in his tone.
“I need you back in the city as soon as possible it’s urgent”
“Liam don’t track my location bye!” he ended the call hurriedly. The last thing he wanted was for anyone to know his hideout.
“You are a weird guy, how I wished to receive calls from my friends too but I don’t have any except Karl”
“Well you have me now” he grinned, Clara chuckled and shook hands with him.
“Yeah friends!”
..
A chair was thrown across the room, the henchmen present in the room trembled slightly. “What do you mean by…. you can’t find her? it’s not like she’s a spirit to completely disappear from the surface of the earth!”
Karl barked in anger and sat down on the sofa in the room, he pulled out a stick of cigarette from the box lying on the marbled table, he lit it up and took in a long drag.
He released the smoke slowly which clouded his bloodshot eyes.
“Find her soon or else you will have me to contend with”
“Yes boss!”
His men left the room leaving him alone, “You can’t go away from me Clara you owe me your life!”
Karl heard a firm footstep approaching him, he glanced back to meet the last person he wanted to see.
“You!”
“You and your sister has made me look like a fool on several occasions, I’ve been frantically running around looking for Amelia while you on the other hand refused to come with me”
Karl stood up and turned to his father “You really want us back into your life?”
Anthony nodded “Yes! son”
“I have a condition” karl said with a slanted smile, he threw down the cigarette and stepped on it.
“I will do anything to have you both in my life”
“Really? okay how about you walk on the sun! if you can do that I will happily go home with you!” Karl scorned mockingly and started walking away.
“I left your mum because she was having an affair with my best friend”
Karl froze for a while and turned back to Anthony. “She did? and what of aunt Cecile? did she also have an affair? and I heard that you got married again after your divorce with aunt Cecile”
“What are you trying to prove here?”
“You don’t know how relationships works Mr Hart and you can’t keep them either”
“That’s not true Karl”
Karl tilted his head his head to the side “Prove it!”
