Liam wasn’t feeling comfortable with the way Andrew was staring at Amelia. He walked towards him folding his fist together.
Elliot noticed Liam approaching Andrew with his fist folded and immediately rushed to meet him.
“As much as wanna punch him too, but you can’t at least not here”Elliot whispers to Liam trying to calm him down.
Andrew, Elliot and Liam have always been enemies since when they were small, they never liked each other as Andrew always insulted them saying they were not in his class.
Flashback to the past
Liam and Elliot were playing football together, Liam accidentally kicked a ball inside someone’s compound.
“Oh no, our ball”Elliot panics before rushing to the house as Liam follows from behind.
There saw the gate was opened and smiled seeing their ball laying on the ground. Liam was about to go get the boy when Elliot held him.
“What are you doing?”Elliot questioned.
“I’m going to get the ball”Liam admits staring at Elliot as he was crazy for holding him.
“Are you crazy!”Elliot snaps , Liam was dumbfounded as he didn’t know what Elliot was trying to say.
“What if there is a dog in there and it bites you” Elliot pointed out.
“Well I’m not scared of dogs”Liam chuckles and was about to go when Elliot pulled him back.
“Don’t go okay, I will go instead”Elliot yells running inside before Liam can protest.
Elliot reached the ball and squatted down to pick the ball. He held the ball when a pair of feet stood in front of him.
Elliot slowly looked up and saw a kid about his age glaring at him. Liam who saw what was happening from afar ran towards them.
“Let’s go Elliot” Liam pulled him up, staring at the kid strangely.
“Hey have I seen you somewhere before”Liam announced trying to recall where he saw this kid last.
“I don’t think it’s me you saw”The kid finally spoke out, scoffing a little.
“Well okay, I’m Liam, nice to meet you”Liam stretched his hand towards him.
“I’m Andrew”He tells him ignoring his hand, Liam waves his hand at him asking not to leave him hanging.
“Won’t you shake me”Liam giggles with his hand still stretched.
“Sorry but I don’t shake filthy things”Andrew spits out, making Elliot shocked.
“How dare you, you are the filthy one here, not my brother!”Elliot claps back at him, feeling irritated by Andrew’s attitude towards Liam.
“Calm down Elliot”Liam tries calming Elliot down as Andrew stares at them with disgust.
“What are you guys even doing in my house?”Andrew suddenly questioned.
“We came here to get our ball, we are leaving now”Liam tells him and grabs Elliot by the arm to leave.
“So you filthy things won’t even thank me for letting you get your ball”Andrew scoffs, making Liam and Elliot halt at their tracks.
“Thank you” Liam gave him a fake smile before rolling his eyes.
“Now can we go”Elliot looks over at Liam holding his hand.
“You are really stupid you know Elliot, can’t you thank me too”Andrew reprimands Elliot from behind.
Elliot turned back and gave Liam the ball before running towards Andrew. Liam mouth widened when he saw as Elliot jumped on Andrew pushing him down.
“Elliot no!” Liam runs towards them.
He tries stopping Elliot who gave Andrew a punch on the face. Andrew returned the punch and the both of them started fighting as Liam tried to separate them.
End of flashback
“So you telling me you came all the here to invite my staff , that has nothing to do with the field you are in and deals with books?”Liam questions Andrew, a bit suspicious by his unexpected visit.
“Well you see I came to invite them because of Amelia”Andrew admits, Liam eyes widened as everyone began to murmur while looking at Amelia who seemed to be as shocked as them.
“What?” Liam scoffs, staring at him with disbelief evident in his eyes.
“Uhm I mean I came here to invite everyone including Amelia because of you”Andrew immediately changed his words making Elliot roll his eyes.
“That’s clearly not what you said but sure”Elliot whispers while rolling his eyes, Andrew gazes at Elliot and smirks before walking towards him.
“Hey Elliot good to see you again”Andrew greets, stretching out an invite to him.
“Well I can’t say the same”Elliot gave him the fakest smile ever before collecting the invite, Andrew returned the fake smile before leaving.
Andrew turns to leave, he was about to open the door when he stopped and looked back to see all gaze on him.
“I hope you all can attend, especially you Amelia”Andrew gave her a small wink before leaving.
Amelia felt like she was about to collapse as everyone was now staring at her. Liam went inside his office and slammed the door behind him hard, everyone flinched at the sound but Claudia smirked seeing how nervous Amelia was.
Claudia pov
I wonder why Amelia is nervous around that guy, she is definitely hiding something that he knows. I must find out what’s going on between them, cause it’s gonna help me out in my plan.
Andrew was thinking about Amelia, he recalled how angry Liam was when he said his main reason for coming was to invite Amelia.
“Jealousy doesn’t suit you Liam scott, I can’t believe you are pretending to be your mortal enemy just for a girl”Andrew chuckles before leaving the building.
Amelia was pacing around in the office when Laila approached her.
“What’s wrong girl?”She asked, seeing her current state on how worried she was.
“Why did that guy come here?”Amelia unconsciously asked Laila as she was thinking straight anymore.
“You mean sir Andrew, I don’t know”Laila shrugged not knowing the reason for Andrew’s visit.
“Oh gosh”Amelia groans in frustration ruffling her hair.
“Hey what’s wrong, do you by any chance know him?”Laila curiously asked.
“No him?”Amelia scoffs, Laila nodded waiting for her reply.
“He is my..”Amelia cuts herself short immediately she realised she was about to expose her secrets to Laila, if Laila knows the whole world is definitely gonna know and Liam too.
“Is your what?” Laila hastily asked.
“Nothing,”Amelia mutters.
“Ahh Camon Amelia”Laila pleaded for her to continue but she ignored her and walked away leaving Laila standing there confused.
“Ahh is your what?”Laila yells chasing after her.
Liam was in his office feeling stressed about everything, He kept thinking about Andrew and Amelia which made him a bit confused.
“Does he know her from anywhere?”Liam questions out loud, The door suddenly opens revealing Elliot. He closed the door behind him before walking towards Liam’s desk and taking a seat.
“Can you please stop thinking about that motherfucker?”Elliot frowns, seeing him lost in thought.
“I’m not thinking about him”Liam lied blinking nervously.
“Oh really bruh?”Elliot scoffs.
“What?” Liam grins.
“I know when you are lying okay”Elliot tells him.
“Well I’m not, anyway are you going to the party?” Liam suddenly asked him.
“Of course I wanna see what that fool has planned out,”Elliot admits.
“You just love drama”Liam chuckles slightly.
“Aww you know me so well”Elliot smirks.
Liam and Elliot were talking when Amelia entered the office. They gaze went to her immediately as she stood there nervously with a cup of coffee in her hand.
“Yes, can I help you?” Liam coldly asks.
Amelia shivers from his cold tone towards her, Elliot glances at the both of them wondering what was wrong.
“I came to give you your morning coffee,”Amelia replied slowly.
“You can drop it down,”Liam tells her without even looking at her.
Amelia drops the coffee and immediately leaves the office, Elliot looking a bit stunned, making Liam give him the questioning look.
“What?”Liam questioned his stunned look.
“Didn’t she see me here too, she didn’t even get me a cup too”Elliot scoffs with disbelief laced in his tone.
“You can have mine”Liam tells him, chuckling slightly.
“Thanks dude”Elliot grins, sipping a little of the coffee and gagging at the taste.
“Ahh have forgotten how much I hated coffee”Elliot frowns dropping the cup down, Liam chuckles slightly while going through some files.
“So dude, You’re gonna have a heart transplant next month”Elliot’s words made Liam’s gaze divert from the file to him.
“What?” Liam asked, a bit confused.
“The doctor said they have a heart coming next month”Elliot utters, trying not to look at him.
“Where did they get a heart from?” Liam questions him.
“Hmm”Elliot hummed a bit nervously as he avoided eye contact with him.
Liam noticed his nervousness and frowns, he knew that Elliot was a selfless dude when he comes to him and won’t think twice before giving him his heart. Which made Liam a bit suspicious if the heart he was talking about was his.
“Are you sure you aren’t talking about your heart?”Liam suddenly asked Elliot, choking a little as Liam raised his eyebrows, now confirming he is indeed giving him his heart.
“Are you fucking crazy dude, I can’t believe you are thinking of giving me your heart are you fucking dumb!” Liam barks at him standing up from his chair, he couldn’t believe he was thinking of giving him his heart.
Elliot didn’t answer and watched as Liam kept ranting silently, Elliot was holding himself back as he was at the verge of snapping too.
“Who the fuck do you think you are to give me your heart!” Liam yells , Elliot couldn’t take it any longer as he pushed the chair backwards standing up.
“Who do I think I am huh?!”Elliot yelled, making Liam a bit stunned.
“I I’m your fucking brother, I am the only one you have in this world we only have each other. So what the hell do you mean by who I’m i?!” Elliot snaps as tears come rolling down his eyes.
“Hey Elliot that is not what I meant, I’m just saying I can’t have your..” Liam started but was cut off by Elliot.
“Why can’t I give you my heart huh, if you truly see me as your brother you will accept the heart!” Elliot yelled as Liam stared at him, unable to believe his words.
“Are you even listening to yourself right now, you want to give me your heart”Liam scoffs.
“So you think I won’t feel guilty all my life, and blame myself for everyone I love dying!”Liam yelled , Elliot gazed down not knowing what to say.
“How do you even think, you are the only one I have, the only one I can trust and now you also want to leave me, I’m that terrible to stand!” Liam yelled as tears rolled down his eyes.
Elliot immediately pulled him to his embrace, As they both cried on each other’s shoulder. Amelia opened the door and saw them crying which made her worried and confused.
“Hey what’s wrong?”Amelia rushed to meet them, Elliot and Liam immediately pulled away to swing Amelia.
“What are you doing here huh?!”Liam snapped at her, Amelia flinched a little scared.
“Why are you guys crying?”Amelia asked, ignoring Liam’s attitude towards her.
“None of your business now leaves!” Liam yelled.
“Hey dude calm down okay”Elliot tries calming Liam down as Amelia stares at him with disbelief and confusion.
“Did I do anything wrong?”Amelia asked at the verge of crying too.
“No you didn’t , he isn’t just in a good mood”Elliot tells her hoping she understands.
“Okay”Amelia mutters as a tear drops from her eyes.
Amelia leaves the office, Elliot turns to Liam stunned. Liam groans ruffling his hair before sitting down on his chair.
Amelia pov
I don’t know what’s wrong with Liam and why is he angry at me? Did Andrew tell him anything, omg I’m sure Andrew must have told him everything that why he was behaving like that. But wait why were the both of them crying?
Andrew was in his office, he was playing with the pen on his desk when images of Amelia flashes through his mind making him smirk.
Flashback
Andrew was in his office when the detective he hired to spy on Amelia and get information about him entered .
“Any news?”He questions the man hoping for something good.
“Yes I found out, she got into an accident four months ago,”The man announced.
“Last four months ago”Andrew repeats as he recalled that was the time Amelia left his house. He didn’t know she had an accident after that.
“She lost her memory after that, and stayed with her boyfriend who appears to be Liam scott. But from my sources I heard she believes he was her former boyfriend Andrew”The man stated , Andrew eyes widened as he was shocked.
“Okay you can leave”He tells the man , The man bowed a little before leaving.
Andrew pov
So Amelia lost her memory and thought I was Liam scott, wow this is really interesting but wait we meant months ago after the day she lost her memory and she was able to recognize me. That means she was pretending to lose her memory in order for her to stay with Liam. I wonder if Liam knows she has being lying to him all this while.
“I have to get to the bottom of this,”Andrew declared.
He went to Liam wine company that day to ask Amelia about what really happened months ago and didn’t see her but Liam.
“What are you doing here?”Liam asked him, looking at him suspiciously.
“I came to see Amelia,”Andrew admits.
“Why do you wanna see her?” Liam scoffs, staring at him with disbelief.
“Well I just wanna ask her something”Andrew frowns a bit annoyed by his questions.
“Who are you to her?” Liam asked curiously.
“I’m her high school friend”Andrew decided not to tell Liam he was Andrew cause he wasn’t too sure about everything the detective said.
“Okay”Liam mutters as if he was thinking about something.
“Well I heard she was your girlfriend”Andrew utters, watching Liam’s reaction carefully.
“Well yes and so?”Liam scoffs, Andrew smirks as Liam had just confirmed his doubts on what the detective said.
“Oh okay”Andrew said.
“So what are you doing here?”Liam asked.
“I came here to buy some of your product for the part I’m hosting” Andrew tells him.
“But you do know your company produces wine too”Liam scoffs.
“Well can’t I patronise my business rival I mean partner”Andrew corrected himself chuckling a bit.
“I prefer rivals”Liam smirks, Andrew was feeling irritated as he hated the shit outta Liam but he held himself as he didn’t want to look suspicious.
“So you can go, I have my people send it to you okay”Liam tells him, Andrew nodded before leaving as Liam watch him leave
End of flashback
“I won’t rest until I bring you down Liam scott!”Andrew yells.
