For the first time in a while, Sean stunned both Amelia and her mother speechless, as they couldn't speak for a good two minutes.
The audacity that they both had to talk to him that way, demanding that he spend more money after all he had done for them.
“How can you say that?!” Amelia yelled the momentary speechlessness had faded off.
“It's not fair now that it's on the other show, is it?” He smirked.
Moving his hand a bit, the glint of the wedding ring that Amelia placed on his hand caught the sun. The reminder of his impending nuptials with her sparked more anger, and he tore the ring off his finger tossing it as far away as he might would allow.
Sean thought that he had found his soulmate, the woman who completed him but clearly, he was wrong.
Amelia didn't have the same objective as he did, only concerned with her happiness in the end irrespective of how it may come about.
“I'm done.” He told her. “Clearly, we were wrong for each other. I thought you loved me, I just…” he trailed off, the words dying on his tongue..
No matter what he says now, he can't change her mind or her mindset.
Turning in his heel, Sean left Amelia standing at the altar much to the consternation of the audience. Murmurings broke out amongst them, and as Sean walked he thought he heard a stifled squeal.
His heart broke with each step he took, the decorations Amelia insisted on which cost thousands of dollars staring back at him.
Just as he was about to cross the doors of the entrance, the bodyguards stationed at the door to keep unwanted guests away blocked his route, their faces impassive.
“What the hell…?” Sean thought out loud. “Move, goddammit it!” He ordered the men but they didn't even acknowledge that someone had spoken. Regardless, Sean tried to push his way out but when he took a step, they grabbed their weapons, the threat clear.
One wrong move, and we might blow your head off.
In anger, he turned around to face Amelia and Mina, her mother who stood with a smug look on their faces. “What is the meaning of this? Let me go this instant!”
“Did you really think it would be that easy? That you could walk like that after embarrassing me?” Amelia took a step forward.
“What do you want?” Sean's hands turned into fists by his side.
Amelia studied her nails as if they were the most fascinating thing she had seen. “Money. If you want to walk out that door without paying the $1 million, then you might as well compensate me before you leave.”
If it wasn't for the serious look on her face, Sean would think that Amelia was messing with him.
Compensate her? What the hell for?
It turns out that he said that out loud because Amelia responded.
“We were together for 3 years, in which I had to endure you,” she waved towards him as if he was a piece of shit. “For that, I deserve a reward.”
Sean sputtered, at a loss for words.
Chloe, Amelia's friend whom she was close with, walked towards the aisle.
“Melly, Sean's right.” She tried talking to Amelia. “These things you're doing don't make any sense. Sean here really loves you and he's bent over backward to give you everything you need. Where do you expect him to see that kind of money?”
Mona's eyes flared up and she opened her mouth to speak but Amelia laid a hand on her arm to stop her, taking the lead.
“Chloe, Chloe, Chloe…” She asks, walking towards Chloe. “It’s amazing how you think your opinions matter. I know you like him, but for shit's sake, don't fucking take his side!”
Chloe started at the harshness in Amelia's tone. “Melly, I-”
“Open your eyes! Can't you see that he's nothing but a loser?”
“Melly, no. It's not what you think…” Chloe tried to defend herself.
“Don't bother explaining yourself to her, Chloe. As a matter of fact, I might choose you over her.” Sean's eyes were hard, staring directly at Amelia. “I chose wrong before but I certainly won't do that again.”
Amelia bristled. “Are you calling me a mistake?!”
Sean could see the fury in her eyes but he wasn't fazed. It was funny how only a couple of hours ago, he was eager to get married to the love of his life and now…he loathed her more than he could possibly imagine.
“Whatever floats your fucking boat.” He spat.
“Look here, in case you think this is a joke…if you don't pay me the $1 million, I'll make it my life mission to ensure that you rot in hell!” Amelia yelled.
A wicked smile spread across his face. “I'd like to see you try.”
Seeing an opportunity to escape, Sean seized it and darted forward escaping the guards.
To his surprise, the guards let him walk out without any interruption.
Walking into the open space, Sean suddenly felt hot and he shrugged off the suit jacket.
Sean stared into the clouds, filled with different emotions that warred with each other.
Anger, defeat, relief…
“What do I do now?” Sean spoke out loud, wondering what to do now.
His phone beeped in his pants pocket, taking him by surprise.
He ignored it, trying to gather his thoughts.
Another notification came in, followed by another, and with a sigh, Sean withdrew his phone from his pocket nonchalantly flipping through the screen.
There was a message from his bank indicating a new transaction notification from his wallet.
His eyes widened when he saw the amount, wondering if it was a fluke.
Counting the zeroes over and over again to make sure, Sean could hardly believe his eyes.
Who the hell would send him 100 million dollars?
Checking his transaction history, the account was flagged as anonymous, not giving him many details.
Holy. Mother. Fucker!
He was rich!!

“So you’re going to do the wedding before you start to show? Why not do it after?” Maeve asked as they lay upside down on the couch. She had a permanent smile on her face these days and Amber liked to joke that she was receiving great sex from Ivan. They had been under the covers for way too long and finally announced their relationship over Sean’s takeover dinner last week, of course none of them were surprised even Mrs Lambert had teased them about it. Sean had passed all the requirements and Clement was serving Jail term for the next two years. Sean knew if he came out he would seek revenge again but he was going to gloat in the beauty of having a wife with him, at the end of the takeover night when he was crowned CEO, he went down on one knee and proposed to Chloe.“Sean wants it soon,” Chloe answered, fidgeting with her sheets.“Sean wants it or you want it? You don’t listen to what he says and he does all you ask!” Amber retorted and they laughed.“I don’t think there’s any ne

The beep from the EKG monitor was the only sound present in the room. Sean had sat just as he was seated throughout the night, holding Chloe’s hands as she received the treatment, the doctors had done a mini surgery and removed the bullet. He also cleaned up the injury and she was still unconscious, Chloe’s eyes had only fluttered open once in the night and the only thing she had said was “Sean” and she went back to sleep.“Are you sure I shouldn’t switch with you? You’ve been keeping watch throughout the night.” Maeve asked him her concern was clear in her eyes. Sean scoffed and shook his head.“No. This is my fault, all of it is my fault and now she is probably fighting for her life.” Maeve sighed. “She's not fighting for her life. The doctor said she’s safe, all that’s left is for her to receive proper treatment. Allow the nurse to stitch up your wounds and let me spend time with my sister.”Her final words did the trick, Sean nodded and stood up, pushing back the chair. “If she

“Your stupid boyfriend is here! How did he locate us?” Drake panicked as the police officer’s voice sounded from the speaker again. He didn’t know how to act or what to say.“Don’t ask me” Chloe muttered under her breath, feeling her chest bustling with emotions, she was finally going to be away from the shackles of captors and ropes!“You have bad taste in men.” He concluded and she raised an amused brow as he continued. “Listen to me, just agree that you wanted to stay away, that way nobody gets hurt. Not you, not me.” Chloe pretended to be lost in thought. A few seconds before her head snapped up and she looked at him.“No, I won’t be doing that, I'd rather die than let you go scot free and I mean that in every possible way.” She snapped at him and immediately he pulled out a knife again and wrapped his left hand around her neck, he placed the knife on her neck and led them downstairs, Chloe groaned in his hands, acting up to hide this year that she felt when he pressed the knife a

Sean would remember to give Amber a hug when next he saw her because apparently, she had the foresight to dial 911 and halfway through their pummeling, the cops showed up. The whole place was surrounded, escaping was out of the plan, Clement wanted nothing but to pluck out his brother's eyes but the cops had their own plan which involved he conflict ending peacefully.Everyone of them including Maeve and Amber were placed in the vehicle and driven off to the station. Only Drake and Chloe were not there which made pissed Sean off especially when he had his eyes on her less done twenty minutes ago.His first instinct had been to drag her out of his arms but holding on to Camille had made that impossible. Camille now sat at the corner of the van looking out the window wondering how she had managed to end up in this exact place again. Maeve was all cuddled up on Ivan in a cozy position, and he made a mental note to ask Ivan what was going on between them later.“Amber,” he muttered an

Waiting for Clement didn’t take long, he came forty minutes later, the sound of his car was the first thing they heard and it was Drake who brought their attention to it. Amber, Maeve and Ivan immediately left, then Sean followed with Camille and stood behind the large banister at the living room exit, hiding his view.Sean's heart was racing at a mile per minute and he prayed that nothing went wrong so they were able to get Chloe. Camille wanted to say something but he pressed his hand over her lips firmly. “If this goes wrong because of you, trust me I will invent ten thousand ways to slowly kill you, so shut up!” He hissed.“If you don’t have something reasonable to say then I swear I will shoot you right here right now” Clement growled as he walked over to where Drake stood with Chloe, he bent toward her and held her chin. “Hello Chloe, I trust they’ve been treating you poorly.” “You don't need to worry about me, it seems you have bigger problems,” she said to him, and he chuckle

The gun remained on Drake's head and the knife remained on Chloe’s neck as the three of them walked into the building again. If Ivan knew better he would have taken the risk and fought her out of Drake's hands, but who was going to believe a man hardened by life’s many struggles would hesitate to cut his prisoner's neck wide open. The knife to her neck was causing Drake to feel sick in the stomach but his fate would be much worse if he let her go without Clement’s consent. “We’re in here!” Maeve called shakily from what looked like it used to be the living room of the mansion, when the three of them came into full view and Ivan saw that Sean had Camille he dropped his weapon. “What in the hell happened here?” He gasped, subconsciously shielding Maeve from any stray bullets that may be fired.“Sean, Maeve!” Chloe cried out loud, all her emotions concentrated into that one word. She wanted to say more and even run into all their arms but Drake placed his palm over her mouth. Ivan watc
