Chapter 97_ Prickly heat powder 2
Abby laughed out loud as she listened to Liam’s explanations. “Bro you are so funny of course she is bound to be upset, she must have thought of something so pretty and all you could get is prickly heat powder?”
“If only you had come when I asked you to, this wouldn’t have happened” Liam said in his defense, he had zero idea when it came to ladies gifts and all that.
“You should have sounded polite, I’m not one of your guards who you can order around”
“Hi Abby!”
The two were jolted out of their conversation as soon as she showed up.
“Amelia” Abby stood up and drew her into a warm hug and pulled away.
“You are getting thicker Amelia, tell me what’s the secret?” Abby said with a teasing wink which made Amelia’s cheeks flushed.
Amelia returned her gaze to Liam who avoided making eye contact. She smiled walking towards him. “Liam you never told me that Abby was here” she said with pouted lips.
“I just got here Amelia and I was about to come to your room before you appeared and by the way Liam got something for you, I bet you will love it this time around”
Amelia squinted her eyes at him, what more gift could he possibly get for her?
“I did?” Liam asked to receive a wink from Abby, “Yes of course I did get you another gift”
..
.
Abby blindfolded Amelia and led her out of the room with Liam tailing after her.
“As far as it’s not prickly heat powder” she said sarcastically, Liam itched his head, he was also curious on what surprise she was talking about.
Liam’s phone buzzed, he answered the call immediately as soon as he saw who it was. “what? how did he get into the house?” only he knew about the other secret tunnel to his house and no one else.
“I will be back before you know it” He announced and ended the call.
Amelia pulled off the blindfold and touched his arm in worry. “Liam is everything okay?”
“Fred broke in and tried to hurt your mum we will leave tomorrow morning”
Amelia nodded in understanding “How dare he? I will break his bones when next I see him”

Louisa slammed the door behind her resting her back against it.
“Lou please open the door and hear me out!” Dylan banged on the door hurriedly.
Everything has become a huge mess since the media were involved now. “Louisa, I never knew that they were only putting on an act”
She sat on the floor with her back against the door, she didn’t want to hear any explanation from him. She placed both hands against her ear, nothing he says or does now would make her change her mind.
“Go away! I don’t want to see you or hear any explanation, just get the f**k out!” She yelled crying her eyes out.
Dylan kicked the door in anger and ran his hand through his hair, his family had managed to ruin everything for him in the span of one hour.
“I promise to clear everything out without tarnishing your name”
Louisa stood up in anger and opened the door. “And how do you plan on doing that? you are the main reason for all these! if only you had tried to clear things out with your parents this wouldn’t have happened”
She raised her finger staring at the ring in disgust, she closed her eyes while trying to yank it off. “Ahh..” she screamed in pain.
“Lou you will hurt yourself” Dylan said worriedly holding her two hands in place.
“Let me go!”
She yanked his hands off from hers “Don’t touch me, I will get the ring off no matter what it takes and I will send it to you as soon as possible”
Dylan’s released a soft gasp, does she really despise him that much?
“What is wrong in getting married to me?”
Louisa’s lips parted in surprise, was he out of his mind? she just broke up with Jake a few days ago and he expects her to move on and that too with him?
“Everything is wrong Dylan! I hate spoilt and rich brats like you, do you think I’m one of those girls who you have a night stand with?”
Dylan hissed in annoyance, he massaged his temples. She was still judging him with all that?. “Lou I don’t live that lifestyle anymore, I am a changed person now”
“How many ladies have you said that to so far? I’ve heard that line like a billion times, have you forgotten that you visit the bar I once worked at frequently? you tell that to every single lady you come with!”
“Lou…
Louisa stepped back into her apartment and slammed the door at his face..
.
Jerry and Jenna bowed their heads as they received some scoldings from Dylan.
Luciana rolled her eyes at the family drama she was witnessing, they were the weirdest family she had ever come across.
“Look honey we did everything just for your sake, how can we sit back and watch you throw your life away?”
“I didn’t ask for your help, you’ve only made matters worse now she thinks I tricked her into this”
Olivia walked up to her brother and touched his arm. “I’m so sorry bro this was all my idea, but I promise to speak to her on your behalf”
Dylan shook his head and left the house, if he stays back for a minute he might say or do something that he might regret later on.
“Honey I’m so sorry” Jenna called out..
..
Dylan entered his car and drove out of the compound, Louisa’s words hurt him deeply today, his grip on the steering tightened.
“I will never show you my face again nor will you hear from me anytime soon” he whispered to himself.
He didn’t blame her for thinking that way about him infact, he deserved every bit of it, maybe this was karma.
His phone rang out, he swiped the answer button. “Hey man what’s popping?”
“I know everything Dylan, and I know what is going on in that silly mind of yours, don’t you dare run away from this city”
Dylan chuckled at Liam’s good guess, of course he wanted to leave the city, that’s what he does whenever he faces problems.
“Liam you are lucky, and I envy you a lot sometimes, at least you have the person you truly love by your side”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Dylan don’t be stupid!”
“It’s just for some months I will return after that for now bye”…
“Don’t hang….
Liam hissed in anger, Dylan was fond of running away from his problems instead of dealing with it head on.
“Is he okay?” Amelia asked worriedly to receive a nod from him.
“Speak to Louisa, Dylan wasn’t at fault”
“I will try my best” she replied and placed her head on his chest. Louisa only needs time to calm down.
