When Amelia was approached by Liam Walker, it was safe to say she was in pure and utter disbelief, of course it's not everyday, the most eligible bachelor in town offers you a multi millionaire contract because you lost your cool in a supermarket.
Liam had enough, he was exhausted and tired of his sister and mother's way of life, they were selfish, entitled and downright disrespectful, he left the mansion for them, lived alone in one of his estates, anything to avoid the drama and then it happened.
Going grocery shopping had always been the bane of his existence but living alone thought him better, somewhere around the utility section, it started out as an altercation, which he had paid no mind to, just wanting to get on with his day, but then it went on as the man, as opposed to the woman would not relent, nor admit to his fault, even threatening physical violence while at it, it seemed to be never ending, drawing out for way too long until 'She' appeared, she was equally as fierce, if not more, subduing the man and forcing an apology out of his unwilling mouth. And in that moment, he had an epiphany, he had finally found her. A match for the unruly duo he had at home.
She needed the cash, he needed the facade. Now, Amelia lives as Mrs Walker, one mission at hand, to tame the Walker ladies, who at the realisation that she was a threat, would do anything to get her out of their lives and business.
I looked at his eyes and put up a strong face. His eyes bore into mine as much as mine into his. It was like he could read my mind and reach out to my soul just by looking into my eyes. I tried to read his thoughts, too, but it felt like he had blocked me out this time. Nothing seemed clear to me anymore. Tears were burning behind my eyes and threatening to pour out. I forced myself to hold them back and asked him, "Just revenge?"
Without a ting of emotion on his face, he said, "Just Revenge."
