Chapter 4 iv

Zack pov

We finished dinner at Amelia's house, I felt so full no am not only talking about the food but also the satisfaction of the misery of a certain person I hated.

It had taken a lot of self control for me not to burst out laughing when I saw Amelia's reaction to the whole thing.

This marriage is going to be so much fun I thought.

When I finally departed from my family, I decided to go out to celebrate, I called Lucas my long time friend to join me in this celebration.

"Lucas, I am in a great mood today, I'm coming over to your place, let's go out" I said immediately he picked up the phone.

"What happened to have you in this mood if I may ask? " Lucas asked

"I am finally taking my revenge on Amelia" I said diping my hands into my pocket before I continued " we are being forced into an arranged marriage to each other. "

"How did that get you in a good mood, besides you don't sound like you are being forced. One would even think you have been waiting for this marriage. " Lucas replied

"Bro I was forced, but now I am beginning to think it might not be a bad idea. As long as Amelia is in discomfort, I am happy. I don't mind being forced into this marriage as long as I get the chance to torment her" I said happily, skipping around a little.

" Wow Zach, I would have expected you to be over what happened between you two, it's been years" Lucas said

Lucas and Zach have been friends since they were little. He knows all about the drama between Zach and Amelia and has always tried to be the mediator between them,but all to no avail.

"Don't worry Luke" I said " I'll get over it soon, after my sweet revenge. "

"You are such a child" Lucas said to me

"Whatever" Zach replied "Get ready I'm on my way. "

People normally see me as a hardened man who has no heart, but am far from that, yes I am a tough man but with a soft heart.I made sure to guard my close circle and do not let anyone in.

Lucas is one of the few people that know the real me, he knows that deep down all these hardness, there is a soft mushy heart that am always trying to protect.

I arrived at Lucas' house in 20 minutes. Lucas' family are also into drug trafficking, this was one of the reasons me and Lucas became close. We understand each other and the dangers and restrictions that came with our family business.

Lucas was already waiting outside when I came, he got into my car immediately I stopped at the front of the house.

"Hey man, sooooo congratulations I guess" Lucas said

" Thanks man, you should have seen Amelia's face when she found out. I took the honors of breaking the news myself to her" I said proudly

" You did " Lucas said " I thought you guys don't speak. "

"We don't, but I found an opportunity, her dad invited my family over for dinner" I went on to explain the event to Lucas while taking short breaks to burst out laughing.

Lucas stared at his friend with amusement, only a few things could make Zach this excited. As much as he pitied Amelia, he couldn't help but be happy to see Zach in this mood.

As they got to the club, they immediately went to the VIP section. The club they came to "Sliver" was one of the biggest clubs in town.I and Lucas were well known in the club, we ordered drinks and went to sit and relax.

Immediately we sat down I noticed a particular tiny person in the other side of the VIP section and the person who was dancing looked eerily familiar.

Turning to Lucas I said "look who we have here. "

Amelia Pov

I was having fun in the club, me and Tiffany were dancing and having fun. I was almost forgetting about a certain person called Zach and the stupid arranged marriage. As I and Tiffany moved and danced we laughed.

"That guy is checking you out" Tiffany said to me

"Really" I said as I tried turning around to check who it was but stopped I decided to dance a little more to flirt with this guy before looking at him.

I smiled as I swayed my body before turning to check out the guy. I froze as our eyes met. It was non other than the stupid idiot husband I was soon going to get married to Zach.

Tiffany noticed her reaction and said "what's wrong, he's cute". Tiffany didn't know Zach or how he looked, she knew about what happened between he and me of course because I told her.

And she supported me by also hating the person she only knew by name.

"That's Zach" I said turning to her

"What, wait that Zach, like the Zach." Tiffany replied and I nodded my head.

"Wow" Tiffany said, " I didn't expect him to be this handsome. "

Amelia shot her a frightening look and said "he is not handsome, he looks like the crocodile we saw at the zoo. " I said glaring at her.

Tiffany laughed and said "do you want to leave? " she asked me.

I contemplated leaving. I came here to get away from Zach and would prefer not to see him, but on the other hand, I got to the club first. If anyone should leave, it should be Zach, plus if I left it would make Zach think his presence makes me uncomfortable. I decided I was going to stay and enjoy my night.

With that I replied "No"

" l am going to ignore him and have fun" I said turning away from him and kept on dancing. I couldn't believe some minutes ago I was putting more effort into dancing to flirt with a guy I didn't know was Zach.

As we danced, I noticed from the corner of my eye that Zach was leaving. I smiled smugly and said to myself "that's right, leave Zach, run to Mummy and daddy". I felt like a winner.

"He's leaving" Tiffany said loudly because of the music.

"of course he is" I replied "he dares not stay in my presence. "

A few minutes later I had begun to forget that I saw Zach when I heard from the loud speakers.

"Amelia? Miss Amelia Williams? "

I turned to look for the person talking. I saw the DJ speaking " can I get the spotlight on her..., yes that's her" I looked around confused and conscious of the spotlight on me.

I then understood when she heard the DJ say " Miss Amelia Williams, your fiance has dedicated a song to you, he wishes to dance with you. Clear the dance floor everybody and welcome her handsome fiance Zach Fernandez. "
