FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO

Chapter 88 - 88: The Contract Reminder

Amelia felt a cold shiver run down her spine at Blaze's direct question and his nerve-wracking gaze. She didn't recall letting Pascal or Clay into her aunt's home. So there was no freaking way they would have eavesdropped on her and reported to their boss. Or did her unsecured re

Amelia clenched her left fist as she picked up the document with her right hand and read out condition number two.

"You are never to meddle in my personal affairs or those of my family. Breeching of this condition will attract penalties based on my discretion."

Amelia dropped the documents on the counter, her blood slowly boiling with anger as she felt Blaze's piercing gaze boring a hole through her forehead. She picked up her drink and gulped down the entire content of her glass, the alcohol in the Martini giving her the needed courage to face him.

"By now, you must know that I'm a very temperamental man and I hate people disregarding my rules especially if it is stated clearly in black and white. Not only do you disregard my instructions which are fixed to protect you from your unknown enemies and those leeches called your family, but you also compel my employees to flaunt my rules. So I ask, Mrs Amelia Anderson, do you have a problem following rules or do you just enjoy getting on my nerves."

"Maybe if you are a little straightforward with me, I won't have any problems following the rules." Amelia raised her face to meet Blaze's darkened gaze. Her heart was drumming erratically in her chest as she watched Blaze slowly move around the counter like a hungry jaguar on the prowl about to pounce on its prey.

"You think I'm not been straightforward with you?" Blaze snarled, pulling her spinning chair closer to him so that they were face to face. His strong alcoholic minty breath was so intoxicating and overwhelming. He trapped Amelia between his arms and rested both hands on the counter while leaning closer until they were just a breath away.

"Yes."

Amelia inhaled sharply, her body trembling a little with a mixture of fear and rage as she activated defensive mode. She could feel his scorching breath fanning against her reddened face as though someone had turned up the heat in the room. Her eyes darted between his and the three-quarter-filled bottle of martini on the counter, ready to pick it up and smash it on his head if he made the mistake of manhandling her like he did the last time.

"I think you're not being completely honest with me." Amelia's lips trembled as she spoke. "You knew my father and you didn't mention it to me."

"You never asked," Blaze replied coldly his hard gaze, belittling.

"I don't have to ask to know such a sensitive detail. You have no idea how stupid I felt when my father spoke about you, asking me to stay away from you."

"Maybe you should listen to your father," Blaze replied between clenched teeth.

Amelia bit down on her lower lips, rage seeping through her veins at Blaze's infuriating words. But she wasn't done asking her questions.

"Why didn't you tell me that my father and your father were once fr..."

"Don't!" Blaze boomed in Amelia's face, causing her to flinch in horror. He moved away from her, turning his back on her as he clenched and unclenched his fist, raw anger seeping through his veins. He moved further away from Amelia, unable to stand his enemy's daughter any longer.

"You are hereby forbidden to speak of my father or snoop around my family affairs." Blaze barked his chilly words, his firm back still on her. "For flaunting my rules, you will no longer have full command of your bodyguards. They will only follow my directives and act based on my instructions. And if you break any more of the contract conditions, there will be other cruel punishments that will deprive you of your basic needs. This is your last warning." Blaze stormed out of the villa, picking up his phone and car keys.

Amelia remained seated on the stool, her body trembling like a jellyfish out of water. Beads of sweat crowded her forehead, as her body quivered with a mixture of horror and anger. She watched as Blaze disappeared out of sight, her heart aching at his bitter words.

Now, Amelia was more convinced that there was a bitter feud between her husband and her father. If Blaze hated her father, it only meant he blamed him for his father's death.

More than ever, Amelia was eager to get to the bottom of the truth even if she had to suffer one or two punishments from her husband.
