“She sure must be suffering from a split personality disorder”, Drake thought to himself as he raked through the internet.

The reporters and bloggers made sure they captured the moment she detached her gown, and posted headlines like Dinkins daughter is mentally deranged, some said she was suffering from multiple personality disorder, some also said it was deep betrayal and grief.
The well known Amelia Dinkins was a conservative lady who had clean records and no scandal up unto her dramatic wedding.

Amelia could not believe her eyes as she shook her head in disbelief, she managed to hold her sobs as not to make known her presence. Leonard had been immersed in his arousal that he did not notice her presence.
Jennifer was half naked, as Leonard had unhooked her bra and was hungrily devouring her round plump breast, they were both moaning wildly, the quay was deserted enough for their privacy to be guaranteed.
Amelia tried to walk away but her legs were stiff, she could not bear to look at the betrayal right in front of her, all she could do was hide in the shadow to eavesdrop on her fiancé `s vigorous thrust into her best friend`s sweet pot and their wild moans. Her suppressed sobs ringing loudly in her ears made her scream at the top of her voice.
She woke up with a jolt and the reality washed over her, she was sleeping on a king sized bed while the Infinity Demon Widower had been watching her.
“Are you okay?” He asked with what sounded like genuine concern evident in his voice
“How long was I out?” She asked ignoring his question
“About four hours maybe, it is almost 6pm”, he responded watching her with rapt attention
“Am I making headlines already?” She questioned gesturing towards his pc tablet
“Of course the Dinkins daughter seems to have lost her mind, others said you have a split personality, by the way you are less photogenic as you are more beautiful in person and that moment you detached your gown you looked like supergirl, that was the moment the bloggers chose for you on the internet”, he said with humour evident in his demur
Amelia laughed in spite of herself “I didn’t know the infamous IDW has a great sense of humor”, she said teasingly
“What is IDW?” He inquire curiously
“I guess that is your homework, she stood up from the bed to move out of the room, but he stood up quickly to block her way, where does she think she was going?”
They stood face to face and stared into each other's gaze.This dangerous attraction wouldn’t do either of them any favour, Drake reasoned, but his lustful side had been unsettled since she offered him to sleep with her.
“I need to get food, I am famished and by the way why were you watching me sleep, or were you considering my offer”, Amelia boldly asked
Drake was flustered, this woman definitely must have a split personality, vulnerable one minute daring the next, he had to be wary of her.
“I will order it brought for you, we cannot have any of the other guests recognizing the latest celebrity”, he responded sarcastically intentionally avoiding her latter question
She smiled weakly at him “why were you watching me sleep? you could have checked into a different room” she stubbornly pestered
“I had to be sure you feel no funny inclination of hurting yourself, it would taint my integrity”, he proudly pronounced
Amelia rolls her eyeballs , this man thinks too highly of himself, well he was famous for that
“If you are considering the tendency of me committing suicide I can assure you, you have nothing to fear, those losers do not worth dying over”.
Drake chuckled inwardly, this woman sure is a piece of work, he finds her interesting and intriguing
“What about my offer Mr Harris?”
“Call me Drake, and as for your offer, I do not sleep with vulnerable women, maybe in a more pleasant scenario I would be more than pleased to pleasure you”.
“I am not drunk nor vulnerable Drake, it is my choice, I need a distraction from my problems, and you are insanely sexy”
“That is my definition of vulnerability, you aren’t in your best judgment so I cannot lay with you” his cheeks flustered when she called him sexy.
He swallowed hard trying so hard to sound convincing enough, “I will have your food brought in”.
He moved out of her view to pick up his phone and dialed the reception to place her choice of order. Amelia took his distraction as an opportunity, she covered his mouth with hers and dared him to resist her. Amelia didn’t give Drake a chance to process his emotions, she lurched at him full force, his gaze turned lustful and he kissed her back hungrily.
They both caressed each other`s body, Drake reached under her garment and unhooked her bra to cup her perky breast. Amelia was so aroused that she arched her body towards his hardness. A knock at the door brought back the sense of reality into both of them, they tore away from each other and tried to adjust their garments, the waitress had brought Amelia`s dinner.
Amelia cursed under her breath, what a bad timing it is, she opened the door and collected the food from the curious part time teenager whose curiosity was obvious as she scanned the room for a male`s presence. Drake had hid himself at the far corner out of shame, Amelia slammed the door on the girl's face, drooped the food on the table.
She faced Drake and blurted “I knew you cannot resist me, I can smell your arousal a mile away”.
Drake had a sudden flashback of a beautiful blonde woman, she had smiled lovingly him and said “you cannot resist me Drake” Drake was jolted back to reality and coldly responded to Amelia
“I will never sleep with you Amelia Dinkins”, he walked out of the room and slammed the door.
Amelia felt terrible, she couldn’t bring herself to turn over to Drake on bed. She could tell he wasn’t fine but it eluded her on the best way to console him. She felt him stir slightly and thought of talking to him but her intuition kept holding her back.Bella let out a loud cry and she had no choice but to get up, to her surprise, Drake did the same, he was silent but collected Bella from her arms and patted her back lovingly. All the whole, his gaze was locked on Amelia, his unreadable expression baffled her.“Are you okay babe?” Amelia questioned suspiciously.“I am not.”Amelia was silent, she hadn’t expected such honesty from him, for the first time he was laying his emotions flat on the ground for her to see. She moved close enough and gave him a bear hug, Bella wasn’t comfortable as she started to wiggle out of her mother’s grasp.Drake kissed her forehead and Amelia reluctantly pulled away, she kept her gaze on him till he ended up speaking out his mind.“I feel like I am go
The ambience in the Harris mansion had been disturbed replaced by wails and tears. Dickson Harris kept pacifying his wife Pamela but he could barely hold himself together too.Drake felt nothing but total guilt, Ryan had died because of him! He had persuaded him to go in the first place and the orchestrator of the accident was his anonymous enemy.He had called his threat a bluff several times, and the second time it has left a huge blow on him, a huge blow he and the Harris will never recover from.Amelia held her hand over her mouth, she had barely spoken a word since the declaration of Ryan's death. It was her fault, the tragedy could have been averted if she hadn't been quiet, she thought inwardly.Everyone in the house seems to be lost in their own grieving heart. Dressed in black were the entire household as they had just returned from burying his body.The world around them seems to be in a stand still as everyone finds it difficult to express themselves. Even Cole had been on
“Drake, he is burning up.”Amelia's concerned voice rang loudly in his ear, he closed his eyes briefly, relieving himself of the tension that had overridden him. He stretched forward his hand and carried Jayden whose body temperature had risen above normal.Fear gripped him!He picked up his phone and called the emergency service. He kept pacifying Jayden who was tearing up endlessly. Brian and Ryan walked in on them, the scene unfolding before them was baffling.Drake had just granted Ryan the opportunity to go on his proposed date with Brian while he handled the business dealing alone but right now, they were all speechless.Drake was agitated, it was taking the security service longer than expected to get to the mansion. Drake loosened his silk turquoise blue tie and loosened his suit jacket .“I will go Drake, take Jayden to the hospital.” Ryan said suddenly.Without a second thought, Drake picked up his car key after making up his mind.“Ryan, I believe in you, thank you.”“I won
“Spill it Gab!”Maya said coldly, she hadn't meant to treat her confidant like that but keeping such a huge secret from her had nettled her so much. She felt so silly for blindly thinking she was the only one going through an emotional torture.“He came to me shortly after you found out about his child, but that night he got so drunk and tried to have his way with me till I knocked him out and escaped.”Maya's eyes met hers, Gabrielle didn't blink, she was telling the truth, she could tell. Everything looked like a crazy dream she wouldn't mind waking up from but it was all okay, she wasn't going to allow herself to be dragged down.“Let's go shopping.”Gabrielle's eyes widened, she had expected a different word from her, was Maya still mad at her? She couldn't tell, her expression was totally unreadable.She was still looking at her friend and wondering what she was thinking when her phone rang loudly, she checked the caller identity but it was strange, she reluctantly picked up the
“It has all been sorted now.”Amelia felt herself relax the moment that word left Drake’s tongue. She eased her agitation , Leonard's trap had failed. She had contemplated reaching out to her father for help but decided against it hoping desperately the Harris will be able to resolve it all on their own, fortunately they did.Everything had been falling in place lately except for her slow leg recovery, Jayden had added on so much weight and he looks almost healthy now. Three months of careful care had done the magic.Strangely, the peace and stability worried Amelia,Everyday felt like it was going to end with bad news but it never did, Drake lay down on the bed beside her, staring intently into her amber eyes.“You keep me hooked, you know that?”Amelia couldn't help but blush, the Infinity Demon is starting to work his magic on her, she felt herself melting under his scrutinizing gaze. She couldn't help but wonder if the forever was going to remain this way.She wanted to respond wi
Ryan felt the tumbler slip out of his hand and fell. Water splattered everywhere and the broken pieces of the tumbler scattered. Two of the cleaning crew in the restaurant rushed over to clear the mess.He staggered forward towards Gabrielle whose left eye had tears streaming down her soft cheeks already. Understanding set in between them without any word as Ryan drew her into an embrace.Maya couldn't believe her eyes, Gabrielle had kept such information away from her, she felt hurt and foolish. She knew asking her about it was the right reasoning, but at that moment, she couldn't reason at all.Ryan and Brian returned home after accompanying the two ladies back to their apartment. The day seemed to have an heaviness embedded in its softness as they got home to see everyone panicking.Drake was pacing endlessly while Cole kept shaking like a jellyfish. Amelia was out of their sight and so was Jayden. Ryan tried to inquire what happened but Brian didn't seem interested,he was immersed
