"Peter...?" A frown formed on William's face. "Yes. It's me" The young man with Elizabeth puffed his chest and continued to say, "You don't know how happy I was when I heard my sister finally divorced the garbage. You were never good for her. Always living off us like a pest" William smiled coldly, "You haven't changed a bit, Peter. Did you come to New Spring to serve your prison time?" This made Peter's face turn ugly. Peter Wilson had beaten someone to death over a debt he owed and his family had to help him escape out of the country to escape arrest.This was a forbidden matter to talk about in the Wilson family." You!" Elizabeth's face was scrunched up, "William, how dare you talk about this matter?"William scoffed gently, "Why can't I say what I want? I'm no longer part of the Wilson, right?"This made Elizabeth's face to be even more scrunched up.Peter gritted his teeth and moved closer to the executive table, "Let me tell you, I'm here to offer an irresistible business p
It was evening and Anna was engrossed in watching TV as usual when she heard footsteps that made her turn around in the direction of the hallway.She was shocked to see William Miller stepping out in a well-tailored white suit and single-pleated trousers that lined down to his ankle when she also noticed his black oxford leather pair of shoes.For a second, she thought she had seen someone else because she had always attributed him to cheap clothes.Lately, she had come to the realization that her ex-brother-in-law was never poor and had regretted everything she had once thought about him.This villa was enough testament to how rich he was.If he hadn't forbidden her, she would have called her sister to let her know about this big truth.He was the one protecting her from Harry Snow now so she naturally listened to him.William frowned slightly as he noticed the way she stared at him with her jaw dropped halfway."Are you alright?" He was forced to ask.Anna quickly composed herself,
The kiss lasted for a few seconds and they both broke away, breathing heavily against each other's face.This had come unexpectedly and the moment was getting heated but,"We are running late..." Amelia managed to say.Her face was still red hot."Yeah... Yes... I guess... Yeah... We have to go" William said incoherently, still trying to comprehend what had happened.Did he actually initiate the kiss just now?Well, it's just for tonight.Amelia tucked her hair behind her ear and laughed nervously, "You didn't come with your limited edition?""Yeah. Modifications in progress" William replied and she handed over her car key to him. "You will do the driving," She told him. "That's right. I'm your boyfriend now" He unlocked the door of the Rolls-Royce Phantom and she entered like a gentle lady with a small smile on her face.William joined her inside and they drove her out of the compound.Meanwhile, Evelyn was seated inside a vehicle with tinted glass in front of the closest bungalow
William looked around and was a little surprised by the crowd all around.Is this all for Amelia?Well, she was a famous person in New Spring and a lot of people could be considered her fan."Oh shit!" He cursed at himself, realizing he was wasting time, and quickly moved to the other side of the vehicle.The door was unlocked and he stepped aside for the woman of the day to be revealed.The party was organized solely for Old Master Sinclair but every Sinclair knew that a good percentage had come around because of the eldest daughter of the family.Such irony.Everyone held their breath and silence ensured for a few seconds when Amelia stepped out in her red ball gown which stood out.But then, her beauty was the center of it now especially now that her hair had been done in a braids style.Even Amelia was surprised by the spectacle as camera lights began flashing from every direction.Reinforcement from the guards had arrived just in time and they quickly controlled the crowd from ge
"Hey! Hey!" William called to Amelia who was moving really fast.He could see how tensed up and angry she was.She gritted her teeth and turned to him, "I'm sorry. I didn't know my mother would act this way"There were visible tears in her eyes and this made William very sad.He placed his hand on her face and whispered, "Don't be sorry. I'll prove to everyone today that I'm not useless. That I'm really capable of being your boyfriend"This made her embrace him and put her hands around his back.Even with tears in her eyes, she laughed gently to say, "The way you speak. I'm beginning to forget we are pretending""Didn't you ask me to make it look real?" William asked and just remained rooted to the spot because she wouldn't let go of him."Well, you are playing your role much too well" Amelia chuckled and just at this moment the double door to the hall was pulled open by the two guards there.Some of the family members who were standing in the hallway had seen the interaction between
“What?” The cousins were all shocked by what they had heard from Lisa but didn’t want to believe her almost immediately.They all stared at Amelia and one of them eventually asked, “Amelia, that isn’t true, right?”Amelia was boiling in rage as she glared fiercely at Lisa who had a proud smirk at the corner of her lips.She was excited about this and wanted to torture Amelia even more.Why was Amelia Sinclair always the talk of the Sinclair family at large and why was she even the number one eminent beauty in her City?Why does everyone get to worship her like a goddess while their parents reprimand them for not being like their Cousin, Amelia?Yes, she was jealous of everything Amelia had and everything she had achieved.She had always been jealous of her since they were a child.When other mothers would be interested in Amelia’s unique beauty above every other female child in the Sinclair.She had always sought an opportunity to get back at Amelia and this one had presented itself.
“Old Master Sinclair is here…!” This announcement brought quietness to the hall and everyone turned around in that direction.The Old Master Sinclair was just arriving in the hall with his walking cane supporting his weight and making successive echoes as he moved.His sons were standing closely by his side as they escorted him in the direction of the tall gold chair in the room that was like a throne.The Old Man suddenly stopped walking and looked around like he was in search of something or rather someone.“Where is my granddaughter?” His voice was grumpy but still audible, “Where is Amelia? Is Amelia not here…”He began to ask his son questions and this made Amelia sigh tiredly.This Old Man was on it again to make everyone believe she was the most important grandchild.“C’mon, Grandpa’s girl, go for it. Don’t keep the old man waiting” Amelia’s Cousin who had invited her, nudged her with her elbow to go ahead.She looked at William and he nodded too, so she left.Almost immediate
William Miller could only stare at Ava as she got up to get close to him.If only he knew she would get drunk and act this way.Amelia stepped in just in time and stopped her sister.Her face was flushed red because of what her sister had said.Even though she was drunk, she was a little excited to see her not resent William for once.“You are drunk, Ava” She grabbed her hands tightly and tried to take her away.“No…” She argued, “I want the 20 Million dollars. We are going back. We—yes—Us”William who knew what she was talking about kept a straight face and pretended to know nothing.Amelia managed to hand over her sister to one of the maids and they took her away.“Ava could be that way” She smiled apologetically at William and he only smiled in return.Only if she knew he was the orchestrator of the Brother-In-Law title.“Father, I worked hard to buy this porcelain for you, produced during the Northern Song Dynasty and is currently valued at five million dollars” This caught Willi
