Chapter 21_ Star actress 2
Jane’s hand touched her cheeks, “you cunning b*tch!” Jane spat in disgust just as Amelia raised her hand again for the third slap, she felt a strong hold on her wrist.
She faced the person who held her hand and her anger boiled more, “if you dare lay another finger on her you’ll regret it!” Greg threatened.
Jane rushed to his side feigning tears “baby, I only wanted those heels when I tried to get them she slapt me saying all kinds of mean things”.
Greg tried to console the grown up baby holding on to him.
Louisa stepped forward “hey drama queen will you please take your tears somewhere else? and besides Amelia saw those heels first so she must have it” Louisa stated.
Greg stared at the heels and collected it from Jane, “it’s pretty and my soon to be wife must have it!”.
Amelia scoffed and held his wrist tightly “I saw it first and I must have it”.
Greg tried to get rid of her hand on his but it seems she wouldn’t back down that easily.
“look Amelia this costs over two thousand and you can’t afford it, you are no longer in the limelight anymore so please save yourself from embarrassment now you still have the chance!” Greg angrily spoke, by the minutes her grip was tightening on his wrist.
Jane intervened to free Greg from Amelia’s grip, “let go of him you b*tch!” Jane cursed.
Louisa didn’t know what to do, she just sat down to witness this life scene they were putting on, she knew well that Amelia was enough for the two foolish couple.
“okay! fine then Amelia have it” Jane scorned she was sure enough that Amelia wouldn’t be able to afford it.
“why babe? I thought you liked the heels” Greg asked.
Jane folded her arms “of course I like it but I want to watch her embarrass herself, she can’t afford it”.
Amelia and Louisa threw a mocking gaze at the two, she went over to the counter to pay for the shoes with the black card.
Greg and Jane were shocked when they saw the card, “where on earth did you steal that from? it was embarrassing enough when we found out about your affair with a mere driver and now? you’ve resulted into stealing?” Greg commented.
Amelia rolled her eyes at his words and swiped the card but it was rejected, she swiped it again, it was rejected she did that for almost one minute before the sales rep. stopped her “ma’am, if you keep doing that it will spoil the machine, I don’t think that card is good”.
Louisa got up and walked to the counter “Amy what is wrong? I thought Liam gave you this?” Louisa whispered to receive a nod.
Amelia cursed Liam inwardly, of all times to do this why now?.
She heard stifled laughter coming from Greg, Jane, some nosy people and even the sales rep.
Her fists tightened as she cursed Liam in her mind continuously, because of him she was being humiliated in public.
Jane matched forward and pulled the heels off Amelia’s hand, smiling scornfully she placed Greg’s debit card on the counter. “didn’t I tell you that you will only humiliate yourself? you brought that stupid card in here to fool everyone, shameless!”.
Amelia was in no mood to argue with Jane, infact she wasn’t paying any attention to her, her mind was focused on how to end Liam, because of him…. oh gosh! she loves winning but today she lost.
Jane pushed Amelia from the front of the counter, Amelia closed her eyes with the thought that she would fall and hurt herself but she felt a pair of arms around her waist supporting her from falling she smelt that familiar masculine scent.
“who dares bully my wife?!” his voice thundered in their ears.
Amelia looked up in shock, how did Liam find out that she was here?.
Liam helped her stand well on her feet again as his sharp grey orbs pierced through everyone present there.
Greg refused to believe that he was seeing Liam Grayson and worst of all he just addressed Amelia as his wife or did he hear wrong?.
Jane was unable to catch her breathe she only sees him on tv whenever he was interviewed, but now she was seeing him in person, he was so hot and handsome.
Greg stepped forward “Mr. Grayson it’s an honor to finally meet you!” Greg exclaimed excitedly with his hands stretched out for a handshake.
Liam didn’t even give him a look but turned to Amelia “you were in a rush that you mistakenly took the wrong card, that one is blocked use this instead” Liam urged her giving her a similar black card, Amelia collected it and almost kissed him out of joy he saved her from humiliation in the nick of time.
“thanks honey” she replied.
Greg and Jane were totally confused on what was going on, how did Amelia know Liam and it seems they were involved romantically.
Jane’s eyes blazed with anger and envy, her lips formed a smirk as she stepped forward. “Mr Grayson did you just address this filth as your wife?”
Jane scorned, Liam remained expressionless as he listened to what the foolish girl in front of him had to say “Incase you don’t know this lady here had a stand with her driver and to crown it all she just got engaged to a man, she publicly announced it to the media, do you really want to spend your beautiful life with a sad story like her?” .
Jane smiled victoriously, seeing the way that Liam listened and looked at her she assumed that he believed what she had said.
Amelia guaged Liam’s expression, she hopped he doesn’t believe that.
Liam frowned at the stupid girl in front of him, what was she blabbing about?.
Louisa stood in front of Jane “how much lower can you stoop? take your lousy self out of here now!”.
Amelia grabbed the heels from Jane and moved to the counter swiping the card this time it was approved.
She stared at the pretty heels in victory, Liam saved her face today.
Greg who was somewhat embarrassed when Liam refused his handshake he held Jane from saying things that could provoke Liam further.
“Mr Grayson don’t be offended by her attitude, she can be overly dramatic sometimes”.
“by the way I’m Greg Harrison”. Greg introduced with a small bow which made Louisa roll her eyes as always still dreaming to fly high.
Liam raised a brow “Harrison? your company recently came to my company for investment” Liam asked to receive a nod from Greg.
Liam brought out his phone raising it to his ear, “I want all the shares of the Harrison’s group of companies before the next twenty minutes”. Liam ordered.
The smile on Greg’s face freezed, Liam held Amelia’s hand lovingly as he led her out of the mall.
Greg felt his phone vibrating, he picked it up and his face stiffened he ran after Liam who was heavily guarded outside the mall.
Louisa watched the expression on Jane’s face and smiled “you should know by now how much Amy loves winning and yet you messed with her so face the consequences!”.
Louisa smiled further seeing Jane’s face go sour. “you knew about him?!” Jane asked in shock, when she was still so close to Amelia she was always the first to know everything about her because Amelia never hides anything from her.
“of course I knew! who else did Amelia have a stand with if not Mr Grayson? this time I must applaud your foolishness, for the first time your stupid plans benefitted Amy!”.
Jane paled further, how was all these possible? she actually moved Amelia from grass to grace, now she is the wife of Mr Grayson.
She held her mouth in shock as tears streamed down her face, this wasn’t the tears of regret but anger! she has vowed to never let Amelia happy.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“bu… but… she was engaged few days back” Jane stuttered still trying to give herself some hope.
Louisa sighed at the pitiful Jane “that was just a facade to stop the scandal that you created, how was I foolish? you deliberately stopped me from attending the party by sending that false invite about Damien’s party of course I was angry when Amelia said those words to me, it hurt me deeply but you know what? she has two shield backing her now, I and Mr Grayson”.
