ONE NIGHT STAND

CHAPTER FOUR

The revelation of Amelia and Alexander's affair reverberates across the internet, crashing like a wave against the shore.

Ariana's eyes widened in shock as she scrolled through, it was all over the internet and she was shocked at how she was just seeing and hearing it.

She slams her laptop shut, her mind races, the thoughts of revenge whirling like a tornado in her brain.

She reached for her phone and dialed her father's number, Mr. Wellton.

Mr. Wellton is the one who approached Alexander first and promised him that his company would go globally if only he got to marry his daughter.

Alexander married her and he fulfilled his promises too.

"Hello Dad, do you see what's going on on the Internet" She said, after her father picked up his call.

"Good Morning Ariana, you can't even greet? what is that?"

"Good Afternoon Dad, it's Alexander, Alexander, and the new lady she's going out with, Daddy everyone has seen it, why are you pretending not to see that Dad? You can't tell me you are just hearing this from me"

"Ooh... about that, I would talk to him, you just need to be calm, how dare he betray my daughter? He betrayed my daughter's trust, Ariana left him to me"

Ariana furiously cut the phone.

"I can't wait for my dad, I need to do something urgently, I need to teach her a lesson, I am sure she doesn't know who she's dealing with, yes, she doesn't know but I'll let her know, I would…”

She picked up her phone and dialed her personal assistant number.

"I want you to get me the information of the lady captured with my husband, the Maureen Company Manager, get her information for me including her background"

"Alright, I will do that now"

She hung up the phone.

"How dare Alexander play me? how?"

Hours later, Ariana received mail, the message was about Amelia.

Ariana's assistant stalks through Amelia's background and sends a mail to Ariana.

'Amelia was once married and because of Amelia's inability to give birth the marriage ended. Amelia got pregnant, and how she got pregnant, is still what I am making researching on. She started working at Maureen's company as a cleaner. After she gave birth, she was promoted to Marketer and finally, she is now the Manager of Maureen's Company. Amelia met your husband at Newton Building when she had a presentation, but she was not able to present, that was when they met each other

Ariana devours the information like a starved beast, the details of Amelia’s past coming together like a twisted jigsaw puzzle. Her eyes glow with malicious intent as the final piece falls into place. She has all the ammunition she needs, and the next step in her plan begins to unfold.

She sent back an email to her assistant. 'The details aren't complete, what time does she go to work, what time does she leave work'

Thinking of what to do, she receives mail again.

'Amelia arrives at woke at precisely 9:00 AM working day and leaves promptly at 4:00 PM'

"Okay, leave the rest to me," She said with a smile.

While taking her coffee and going through her laptop, Alexander arrived at home.

Ariana’s devious grin widens at the sound of Alexander’s footsteps, her mind churning with the possibility of payback.

“My dear husband,” she coos as he enters the room, her voice sweet as honey but with a venomous edge.

"How are you doing, my beautiful wife"

"I am fine, and you?"

"I am fine, I am quite busy at home but I missed you, so I came home to see you"

Ariana places her hand on his, "I miss you too darling, I am sipping this coffee, do you care for it?"

"Sure, I wouldn't reject anything coming from my wife"

Alexander accepts the cup of coffee with a smile.

Alexander was about to sip the coffee when his phone rang, It was Amelia calling.

Alexander and Ariana both gaze at the screen of his phone.

"Work related right?" Ariana smiled.

Alexander nodded and smiled back, ignoring Amelia's call.

"I am going to the bedroom, and I need you there now"

"Honey, I am sorry I won't be joining you now, I'll join you later because I am having an online meeting with a brand," Ariana said

Alexander nodded in understanding and left the room.

Alone in the bedroom, Alexander settles back into his chair, his thoughts turning to Amelia. He dialed her number, and she picked up.

"Hello, my beautiful Amelia"

"Hello, my prince charming"

"Sorry, I couldn't pick up your call, I was on a video conference app on my laptop"

"It's fine, are you home"

"Yes, I am, any problem?"

"No, I just want to hear your voice, I miss you"

"I miss you more, we will see tomorrow, I'll come to your office"

"That would be good, looking forward to that"

He hangs up the call.

Back in the living room, Ariana watches her husband's retreating form, her mind already racing with her next move. She picked up her phone and dialed a number.

"I need you to gather up at least five boys for me, I'll send you the rest of the information in your mail"

"I need you to gather up at least five boys for men for me, a giant man, I'll send you the rest of the information in your email, Understood?"

"Yes, consider it done" the man's cold, efficient voice replied.

Ariana smiled.

Amelia was driving to her home when a group of men attacked her, she was forced to leave her car, and they started beating her up.

Just then, a man showed up.

Tom is a giant man, a twenty-eight years old man.

He went to rescue her and the men ran away.

“Where is your house?, I'll give you a ride you to your house”

Amelia could barely talk, though she was not really injured. She was able to describe her house to him.
