Claudia was walking all alone in the middle of the street lost in thoughts. The scenes of Elliot saving her replayed in her head making her heart skip a beat.
“What’s wrong with me?”Claudia groans in frustration as the men she hired to kill Elliot block her path, interrupting her thoughts.
She looks at them a bit nervous before smiling devilishly at them making them a little scared.
“Boss, why didn’t you just let us kill him?”One of them asked.
“You see, I couldn’t just let you kill him”Claudia started while pacing around as they listened to her quietly.
“If I had let you guys kill him, I would have definitely been suspected”Claudia explains as they stare at her confused.
Flashback
Claudia pov
I was taking Elliot to where the men were waiting for him so that they can end him, when I noticed from my side eye was Amelia looking at us leaving which made me nervous seeing she was spying on us. I wanted to tell Elliot that I forgot what I wanted to say but that stupid fool that doesn’t mind her business had to intervened as she pulled Amelia with her making it more difficult for me to kill him since Amelia had seen me with him last.
“Why did you bring me here?!”Elliot snaps at her as she sees the men approaching his way slowly but quickly pulls him to a hug and signals them to leave.
“What’s going on, let’s go!” Elliot yells trying to push her away but she holds him tight.
“I love you,” Claudia confessed.
End of flashback.
“I had to pretend to be in love with the idiot so he wouldn’t suspect I had any plans in bringing him there,”Claudia explained as they nodded.
“So when should we kill him?”They both asked in unison.
“No need for those boys, cause I have a feeling he can get me closer to what I want”Claudia tells them with a smirk on her face.
“Let’s have fun Elliot”She chuckles deviously.
Elliot was in his house thinking about what had transpired between him and Claudia.
Elliot pov
That girl is definitely hiding something, and most definitely up to something. She thought I didn’t see those men behind me holding a knife, I can’t believe she tried to kill me. But what is the reason for her wanting me died? I should tell Liam about this, but I have to first gather enough proof cause I know she is behind every bad thing that happens in that office.
“Well Claudia I will beat you in this game of yours”Elliot declares while gulping down some wine.

Amelia ran out of the room running with all her strength as Liam came out chasing after her with speed.
“Get back here teddy!” Liam yells while running after her.
“Never you pervert!”Amelia screams, increasing her speed as the dogs were barking outside.
“Please teddy” Liam stops to catch his breath before collapsing to the ground making Amelia halt at her tracks and run towards him.
“Liam!”She called out for him but got no response.
“Omg Liam are you okay?”Amelia yells while shaking him but he didn’t open his eyes making her panic.
“Okay okay calm down Amelia he is probably just joking”She tried calming herself down but failed as tears started dropping down from her eyes.
She immediately checked to see if he was breathing and breathed out a sigh of relief when she felt his pulse, she reached forward to his forehead and saw he was burning up, making her gasp.
She immediately brought out her phone and called Elliot.
Elliot was drinking when he saw his phone ringing, he picked it up and saw the true caller’s name reads Amelia and wondered why she was calling him before picking up.
“Hello Amelia, what’s it?” Elliot asked through the phone.
“Can you stop crying and tell me what’s wrong?”Elliot rolled his eyes a bit annoyed at the fact she wasn’t responding well.
“Liam what happened to him!”Elliot immediately stood up.
“I will be right there, everything will be fine”He assures her before hanging up.
Elliot immediately took his keys and drove to Liam’s place.
Amelia managed to carry Liam even though she struggled while doing it, she managed to lay him on the bed.
“Oh God I pray nothing happens to him”She silently muttered and was about to leave the room when he held her hand.
“Amelia!”He called out for her, making her turn to look at him immediately.
“Thank goodness you are awake li…”Amelia immediately cut herself short.
“I caught you,”He announced, giving her a weak smile.
“Yes you did”She agrees, cleaning her tears.
“Why are you crying?” Liam frowns a bit before sitting up on the bed and pulling her close to him as she sat on his lap.
“Well you fainted a while ago”Amelia tells him but he seemed unfazed.
“Oh yeah probably because I’m stressed out”Liam concludes, making her frown.
“We are going to do a check up on you in the hospital tomorrow”Amelia announced.
“No I don’t wanna go to the hospital”Liam whines hugging her.
“Let’s go, we are going to the hospital tomorrow or even you take these pills”She utters, grabbing the medicine on the counter and a glass of water.
“Fine” Liam scoffs before collecting them from her, he swallows the pill and uses water to flush it down.
“Now that I took the pills, what do I get as my reward?” Liam smirks, holding unto her waist.
“Uhm you get” Amelia mutters and tries freeing his grip on her waist but fails.
“You think I will let you escape from me again teddy?”He scoffs before throwing her on the bed and climbing on top of her.
Amelia screams a bit stunned by his sudden action and tries to stand up but he pushes her down back.
“Get off me”She whines trying to push him away but he didn’t budge as he held her hand and pinned it to the bed.
“You are not going anywhere young lady”Liam smirks leaning down towards her lips but she immediately turn her face away making him kiss her neck.
“Playing hard to get, okay let’s play”Liam pinned her two hands on the bed making her look at him as she was unable to move.
“Please let go of me”Amelia whines but he didn’t listen.
“Teddy I want you”Liam admits making Amelia gulp.
“Uhm I don’t think you are in the right shape to be saying that”Amelia blurted out making him gasps before getting off her.
“What?”She sat up in the bed wondering what she said was wrong.
“Did you just stylishly call me fat?” Liam scoffs as Amelia blinks trying to comprehend what he just said.
Liam gestures for her to say something as she burst out in laughter making him groan.
“What’s so funny?” Liam asked, frowning.
“Aww does my baby think he is fat?”Amelia mocks him with the most babyish voice ever frowning.
“You call me fat,”Liam pointed out.
“No I didn’t, I meant you are not in the right shape to be thinking about sex cause you are weak”Amelia explains.
“Who says I’m weak?” Liam scoffs, pulling her close but she jerks her body away from him, making him groan.
“Why can’t you just be a good teddy for once”Liam whimpers.
“Why can’t you stop being a pervert for once”Amelia fires back.
“Well you made me a pervert” Liam admits.
“I did no such thing”Amelia scoffs.
“You were always a pervert to begin with”she added as she pulled out a new bed sheet from the wardrobe.
“No I wasn’t, I was always a chill dude with no woman in his life and thought about work only until you came into my life”Liam confessed as she turned to see him staring at her deeply.
“Okay enough with the stories”Amelia breaks their little staring contest making Liam groan.
“No, you were just about to give in to me”Liam whines.
“What makes you think that?”Amelia scoffs, crossing her arms.
“Really teddy?”Liam smirks while walking closer to her.
“Yes, stay back”Amelia warns, pointing her finger at him making a stop in his tracks.
“Teddy, you know you’re supposed to be nice to me after what you did,” Liam tells her as she stares at him confused.
“And what did I do to you?”Amelia questions a bit of oblivion to what he was trying to say.
“Don’t you remember how you laughed at me along with Elliot when that noodles came falling on my head”Liam rolled his eyes reminding her.
“Oh that was hilarious,”Amelia admits, giggling a little.
“It’s not funny”Liam glares at her.
“Well it was actually, you need to see your face as the noodles were on your hair”Amelia said between laughs.
“I’m sure I was Looking hot as usual”Liam licked his lips making her cringe.
“No you weren’t,”Amelia frowns.
“You don’t need to lie teddy, I know you secretly drool over me”Liam smirks.
“No I don’t”Amelia nervously mutters.
“Oh really”Liam looked up at the ceiling like he was trying to recall something as Amelia stared at the ceiling wondering what he was looking at.
“What are you looking at?”Amelia asked, a little curious.
“Hush I’m trying to make you remember, flashback”Liam utters, hoping the author will take them back to this morning when Amelia woke up.
Flashback
Amelia woke up with a splitting headache, she felt like her head was pounding and tried standing up but collapsed down back to the bed.
Liam came in with a glass of lime water in his hand and handed it to her without even looking at her.
“Thanks”She thanked him as she collected the glass from him.
He ignored her and went to the bathroom, closing the door behind him, making her feel sad that he didn’t even say a word to her.
After some minutes Liam came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his torso with water dripping from his hair onto his wet body.
Amelia gulps seeing his wet body as he walks towards his wardrobe to get dressed. She closed her eyes a bit trying not to look as he released his towel.
Liam saw Amelia drooling over him as she kept on peeking through her hands at him giggling softly, he turns to her direction and she immediately laid down.
Liam chuckles smirking at the sight of her drooling over his body. He felt like teasing her but ignored her since he was still mad and got dressed before leaving the room.
End of flashback
Amelia covered her mouth, shocked at how he knew she was staring at him.
“You see teddy, I guess I’m not the only pervert here”Liam tells her.
“You can’t prove anything,”Amelia whimpers.
“I think I just did, with the little flashback”Liam declares muttering silently thanks to the author.
“Well I don’t care, all I know is that I was not drooling over your body”Amelia concludes.
“Okay what were you drooling over at them?”Liam suddenly questions her, making her gulp.
“Well I was thinking about spicy noodles when I was drooling, you probably think it was because of your body I was drooling because I was looking in your direction”Amelia lies nervously.
“So you do admit you were looking in my direction”Liam smirks.
“Uhm …I”Amelia stutters, not knowing what to say.
“Just accept the fact teddy, you know I’m hot”Liam boastfully utters.
“Fine you are hot, now can I change the bedsheet in peace”Amelia said waving the bedsheet at his face.
She was about to remove the bedsheet when Liam who was now close to her held her hand stopping her.
“What do you do now?”Amelia groans, feeling tired already.
“What are you doing?”He obviously questions her.
“I wanna change the bedsheet okay, cause I’m sleeping”Amelia pointed out the obvious while rolling her eyes.
“Why change it?”Liam asked, making her look at him a bit dumbfounded.
“Cause it is dirty,”Amelia said.
“How we didn’t even have sex on it yet”Liam bluntly pointed out.
“What”Amelia choked on her word.
“Let’s have sex on it first”Liam tells her while licking his lips.
Amelia felt weak in the knees as she lost her balance and fell to the bed while dragging Liam along with her.
“I don’t understand teddy, if you want me so bad why pretend not too”Liam smirks, placing her hair beside her ear as she stares at him unable to speak.
Liam smirks, noticing her state and using the opportunity to lean towards her, As soon as their lips were about to touch the telephone beside them rang, interrupting the moment.
Liam groans as Amelia uses the opportunity to push him off her and sits on the bed fixing herself. Liam whimpers before picking the phone up.
“Yes, what is it?” Liam barks at the person on the line as Amelia stares at him quietly.
“Elliot is at the door?” Liam questions looking at Amelia a bit curious.
“Oh I totally forgot I called him here when you fainted”Amelia gasps standing up.
“Tell him to get the fuck outta here!”Liam commands the person on the line as Amelia yells before collecting the phone from him.
“Listen, open the door for him okay”Amelia orders sternly before dropping the phone.
“Why let him in?” Liam frowns.
“The dude came here in the middle of the night, just to check up on you and you just wanna chase him away?”Amelia stares at him in disbelief before leaving the room.
“Well I don’t care”Liam yells following her downstairs.
The door opened wide and Elliot was standing with a bag smiling brightly.
