Amelia POV
The hall remained silent, every eye on us. Even those who had been flirting had stopped. Cameras clicked more and more.
Daniel glared at me, swallowed hard. “I don't know what you are talking about”
Kayden smiled, “of course he does not. How would you know what you did? How would you have the guts to admit to the world that you almost killed me, that you actually killed my whole family and still they took the company. And also Amelia money”
Daniel's eyes moved to mine, he took a step closer, his blue eyes softened for a while, he grabbed my shoulders “look Amelia. I might be bad. But he is worse than Amy. He is a monster and he is just with you to take revenge on me. That is all he would kill you when he is done”
I galRed at him, how dare he. After framing me, after putting bury control pills on my drink and leaving me in jail for three whole months while he spent my family money. He had the audacity to tell me what to do or who to be with.
“You should…” Kayden began but I stopped him.
Taking a step forward to Daniel, my heart racing. “How dare you? How dare you advise me on what to do huh?” I asked hitting his chest
“After you betrayed me and left me to rot in jail you are here telling me what to do. Really? Have you gone insane?” I asked, glaring at him.
“Amy, I am sorry. Please just….” He began.
“Your sorry is not going to work. Neither is that pity look on your face. You need to understand that… she is my wife now. And that I, your step brother, came solely for revenge. To avenge you all, your mum, that brat you call your wife who is by the way pregnant with my God father child who she spent so much time with and also with you. My dear lovely brother”
Mummring filled the crowd. Even I was as shocked as everyone was. Colour drained out of Daniel's skin.
His blue eyes got darker. He turned to Ashley who stood by his side, looking everywhere but his eyes.
“Is this true?” He asked, his voice cracking.
“No, no babe is true. Why would I pin another man child on you?” She asked, tears stood on her eyes.
“I am so offended that you had to ask me such a question before everyone. What do you take me for? A slut or what? Why would I…. Why would you even contemplate that the child is not yours?” She asked, tears stood on her eyes, some flowing freely, washing off her mascara.
Kayden smiled “Awwn” he said calmly and turned to the crowd. “So you guys don't even trust each other. After the lavish party and all that”
Daniel opened his mouth to talk but stopped. He received a notification, his mum, Ashley, almost everyone.
The murmuring increased. Daniel glared darkened the more. He took a step forward. What do you mean with this email? He asked.
Kayden shrugged “you can read can't you. I have sent it to all the shareholders and everyone that needed the information. For now henceforth the company ceased to be your property, it should be mine but I am giving it to Amelia. My wife”,
I took a step backward, my eyes met his own. Goosebumps licked my skin.
I leaned in and Kayden bent to my level as I whispered to his ear “what the hell are you doing?” I asked.
He winked at me “You will soon find out”
Daniel laughed, his voice echoing around the room “She? Amelia? The boss? How?” He asked. “Who even gave you the right to do transfer shares when you don't have none”
Kayden smiled at him, not saying a word. After a while he tapped his shoulders “okay I will leave you to your celebration. See you tomorrow I'm at the office bye” he said waving at them.
I followed him, walking beside him, my legs shaking, my.head trying so hard to wrap around what just happened.
Immediately we got to the car I turned to.h
Anger boiling in my blood, mixed with surprise.
“What was that for? I asked, folding my arms against my chest
“What was it for? He asked, a smirk on his face as he turned on the car engine.
“That display. That show you carried out there. What do you want from me? How come you know all of them? Even Ashley and you said that she is your God father’s child? What the hell is going on here. How did you get hold of the company shares and why am I been the boss”
He remained silent. Not saying a word.
I shook my head. This must be mad to think that I won't say a word.
“Kayden, I am talking to you. Answer me!” I snapped.
Still he remained silent. He turned slowly to look at me, his hands still on the wheel. “ You look beautiful, Amelia. And more hot when you are angry, Amy”
I closed my eyes, praying for some sort of patience to come to me. “Are you serious?”
“Does it look like I am joking?” He asked.
“Yes! Because you have a very annoying smile on your face and you seem to be enjoying it. Look, I get that you are the non-emotional kind of person who does not like talking and having a blank ugly facial expression everyday. But I am your wife on paper and it would be nice for me to know you just a little or else take me back to my prison”
He shook his head “Nahh, you would never go back to prison and also don't ever call me ugly”
“Ugly!” I spat out
His grip tightened around the steering wheel, the car came to a sudden halt. He turned off the car and looked at me, his blue eyes penetrating into my soul.
He pointed his index finger at me “look I did not bring you out here to question me. I told you what I would be doing for you. Making you get revenge and get what you wanted and that is exactly what I am doing. So who I am or what I am or I am doing is none of your business! Do I make myself clear? Don't expect any emotional bond from me! You should be more mature and learn how to let business be business, don't mix it with pleasure. I might not be as good as you think!” He warned and turned on the car engine.
I remained silent throughout the ride, tears filling my eyes.
I grabbed the helm of my gown. Why did I always have to end up like this? Unwanted by everyone.
This was worse because this was like a prison and I was in it.
My mind trailed to how scared Daniel was when he saw him, how he had warned me.
How dangerous was it that Daniel had to get scared and if I was the ex wife of the man who killed his family.
It won't be long before he starts to take his revenge and it will be with me.
I have to do something. I have to find a way out and leave this too. I can't be caught up between Daniel and Kayden.
Immediately we get home, I storm off. Slamming the door hard.
“Amelia!” He calls my name but I am already upstairs, not bothering to listen to what he has to say.
I pace around the room looking for a hideous. Somewhere to go and I can't find any.
And then, I look at the window. I am on the first floor but I can escape. I can jump off and hold on to a rope and run away.
I have to do this.
I stare at the place I had stayed for a while, place my ring on the table and without any more hesitation.
I jump. Except that….
