Jacob was very angry at the turn of events. It seemed that he had big plans and all fell apart. He couldn't believe that Zach McCord had turned down the proposal. He was keen to buy it when Jacob had made an offer to him a week ago. He couldn't understand what brought about this change of mind. He can always get another buyer, of course, but he was also planning to impress Zach so that he can do business with him in future. But, All his hopes seems doomed now. Hands on his forehead, he sat on the sofa with a brooding look on his face, ignorant of Amelia's presence. She doesn't exist in his world anymore other than the fact that she owns a large sum of his shares which he had himself presented her on their courtship days to prove her that he is serious about her. Those days he was but after marriage, he felt like someone has thrown a bucket of ice water over him when he found Amelia was nothing but an Ice-Maiden. He always been having affairs alongside while he was dating her, but after marriage, for his needs, his quests increased and so did his extra marital affairs.
The only thing that matters to him now was to rectify his mistake and make her sell the shares he had given her. He needed to do them badly and soon. He had already planned out everything when Zach agreed to buy them now he has to find out a potential buyer who will give him a good price. He was completely annoyed with the change of situations.
With much effort and putting in all her strength, Amelia said in a comforting tone,"Jacob"
Jacob looked angrily at her and barked,"Just get the hell out of here. I don't need your pity."
"But...."
"Go," He shouted.
Amelia didn't wait to hear any more. Turning to move out of the room, she almost but fled hurriedly towards the lift fearing that Jacob might change his mind and will start scolding at her or worse humiliate her as he does at home. The lift took her to the ground floor and she speedily walked towards her car, almost being hit by the car that was being parked at the parking area.
"Amelia"
She stopped at the sound of that familiar voice and turned to face Zach McCord, who was now grabbing her by her arms in anger as he said,"Have you lost your mind?"
Her cheeks lost color as she realized the accident, she might have had, if he had not pulled her. She looked at him thankfully and making an apologetic face said,"I'm Sorry."
His expressions softened her apology and he asked,"It's all right, but why you're in such blind rush?"
"Nothing. Just Nothing," she said impatiently as she tried to free herself from his grab.
"Did Jacob said something to you that has affected you?"
She stared at his face dumbly thinking how did he guess that. Was it so obvious that the couple doesn't go well together. "It's nothing like that, Mr McCord," She uttered as she put her hand on her fist, removing his hand from her shoulder.
He let her do that and drawled,"You are lying and I'm quite sure of that."
How? Why? She wondered if he knew about Jacob as well. He might. Half of the world knows about his mistresses. Did he know about his marital life as well? She felt uneasy and looking away from him, without replying to him she turned away.
He grabbed hold of her hands this time.
"Please, let me go," She shook his hands away to be free from him but the efforts failed. His grip on her hand tightened as his mouth twisted in a smile as he said,"I will but only if you tell me the truth."
"Why," she demanded angrily.
"Because I need to know"
"You have no right to ask me questions like that nor to peep into what I and my husband tell each other."
