A Promise Of Vengeance

Chapter 7: Saturday night

Harley like everyone else couldn’t believe what Amy said about being co-CEO.

A few weeks ago she was thinking of joining her boyfriend Drake’s band and they were going to be on tour for months and now she suddenly wants to run a multinational business…

At that time Harley cursed her fate, at first Amy was told that she could marry into the Anderson family and now she was to be Tate Anderson’s co- CEO, there was no way in hell Harley was going to let it happen…

When Amy told Emily even, she couldn’t believe it, they made plans to go shopping the next day which is Saturday so that she can buy some corporate clothing for when she starts work on Monday…

On Saturday Emily and Amy went shopping as agreed, they then bumped into Amy’s boyfriend Drake and his band, “hello baby, you haven’t called me in days and you weren’t answering your phone” said Drake to Amy as he kissed her forehead…

Amy felt weird when he did that, to her she hasn’t seen or talked to him in four years but to him it’s only been a few days…

In her previous life was too scared to break up with him and tell him about the arranged marriage that he heard from someone else and that is someone is Harley, Drake was really hurt that she wasn’t the one to tell him and thus that is where their friendship ended…

Drake was one of her best friends before he was even her boyfriend and she trusts him more than anyone and now thinking of it, she wasn’t only naïve in her previous life but she was also heartless for hurting the people who love her for real…

“Hey, sorry I have been so busy… I need to tell you something really important, as in now.” she said and they went to talk privately.

“You know I love and care about you a lot, don’t you? I just found out yesterday that my grandmother arranged a marriage for me before she died… I have to get amarried to one of the Anderson brothers” she said making Drake frown…

“The Anderson brothers as in Tate and Charles?” he asked and she nodded, they spoke more and she tried to make him understand her situation and in the end he did…

“I was your best friend before I became your boy friend and that won’t ever change, I know how much you loved your grandmother and this is like her last wish… you do what you got to do Amy, I love you okay and I am here anytime when you need me.” he said as he hugged her…

When she was hugging him she realised that she wasn’t only given a second chance in life so she could get revenge but no, she was given a second chance so that she can make amends…

She came back so that she can unbreak the hearts she broke, to unsay all those horrible things she said to Emily, to Drake and on other occasions to Tate...

She came back to right her wrongs, to spend time with her family and friends, to make a name for herself, after she counted all those things she realised that her purpose isn’t just to get revenge but is to love her loved ones, to be there for them when they need her…

“Hey, you should come to my gig tonight, I will be singing at this new club that is opening tonight… this is the biggest gig I have ever gotten, come on and maybe you will play one song with us for old time sake before you become a big shot CEO.” said Drake nagging her shoulder making her smile…

“Anything for you Drake, see you tonight.” she said as she left with Emily…

“Well that went well, Drake has always been so understanding… he is hurt but because he cares about you he wont show it, you did the right thing now lets shop for the stuff we will wear at the gig that Drake just invited us to.” said Emily as they walked in hand in hand going in and out of every shop…

When they got home Emily and Amy got ready, Harley found them getting ready, she was wearing a red short dress and her blonde hair was in waves that seemed to go on forever…

“Wow, you looked beautiful, where are you going?” asked Emily making Harley smile.

“Well I got invited by a friend to this new opening of a club and I am going there.” she said with her head held high…

“Ohhh really, Emily and I are also going to the same place.” said Amy, “well I would wait for you but apparently there is going to be a huge line and I want to get into the club as soon as I can.” she said leaving them…

Amy and Emily looked at each other, “I told you that I don’t trust her and thank god she said isn’t coming with us and maybe we hopefully wont bump into her in the new club” said Emily as she continued doing her makeup…

Amy now knew what she was dealing with so she was alert and cautious, they got ready and headed to the club where they found Drake waiting for them and they didn’t even have to wait in line…

Tate was entering using the VIP door when he was bumped by two girls, a redhead and a brunette and they didn’t look behind to apologize and kept walking spoiled rich brats…

That is one of the reasons he didn’t want to come but he didn’t have a choice because it’s his best friend’s club and Mike would kill him if he didn’t come, “are you okay old friend?? You look like someone just vomited in your mouth” said Mike making Tate glare at him…

“Fine, let me take you to the VIP room.” he said leading Tate to where his other friends were in the VIP room, when he got there the VIP wasn’t crowded at all and they could see everything that was happening…

They could see the stage and this guy called Drake was performing with his band, “so I will call one of my best friend here, she can sing, play the piano, play the guitar hell she even play any music instrument you put in front of her… come up here Ams” he said looking at the audience…

Tate saw a young girl get up the stage and when she turned around, he was shocked it was Amy, she was wearing a cute leather skirt and a black skeleton t-shirt with a leather jacket…

They handed her the guitar and she played it while singing, the moment she started singing everyone who was seated got up and started dancing, Tate had to admit that she was pretty good…

“you know her? Omg is she the girl you were telling about? The Wilson girl?” asked Mike but his friend didn’t even look at him and just nodded…

His eyes were focused on a particular brunette who was rocking the stage, it was the way she moved, she was confident and she looked alive, the pain he saw in her eyes yesterday was gone the moment she stepped on that stage…

It was also the way she looked at the other lead singer who was also singing with her that bugged him, it was like they have known each other for a thousand years and there was this chemistry between them and he didn’t like it one bit…

She was going to be the Anderson daughter in law and she cant be seen grinding into another guy but he had to admit that she was by far the most beautiful girl he has ever seen…

When she was done singing, she went to the bar and from where he was he could see everything, a guy came and sat next to her and ordered a drink just like hers, he said something to her and she looked around the club and he slipped a pill in her drink…

“Still looking at your future wife ?” asked Mike, Tate finally stopped looking at Amy and looked at Mike, from the look he was given Mike knew that it would be in his best interest to shut up…

Tate looked at Amy again and this time she was drinking her drugged drink, why do people go out when they cant take care of themselves ??? that guy obviously wanted to r**e her but not his watch…

He saw as the guy and Amy left the bar to go outside and he followed them, when he got there he found the guy laying on the ground with Amy standing over him with a smirk on her face…

She kicked him again and again and all that guy did was just look at her like he was powerless it was like he was drugged, when Tate realised that Amy probably switched the drinks he couldn’t help but smile proudly…

He just stood there as he watched Amy kicking the guy’s ass over again, “now tell me who asked you to do this.” she said, Tate couldn’t hear what the guy said but he said something and Amy looked at him before kicking him where the sun doesn’t shine one more time causing him to scream in pain…

She turned around and found Tate looking at him, “I am smoking” he said showing her his cigar, she stood in front of him and looked around her bag, she handed him a lighter…

“If you are going to pretend that you are smoking the do so with a lite cigar.” she said with a smirk leaving him standing there, she turned around one last time. 

“see you on Monday Mr Tate Anderson.” she said.

“I can’t wait.” Tate whispered.
