Everyone froze due to Amelia's declaration. The blindfold on Milo's eyes fell and even Alexei had totally forgotten about the pain he was feeling. Belle who was standing right beside Amelia turned to look at her.
"You're what?" Alexei was the one who asked "I'm his wife. His business wife" Amelia smiled loving the shock she had put on everyone.
"And from what I see here, you are trying to make my husband loose business, and that is not something any wife would want now, is it?" She looked at the two brothers.
"Well sorry to disappoint you, dear business wife, but Milo said he wants nothing to do with the business. We just want to make sure he is not faking by making him sign a contract. So if you could please leave" he smiled sarcastically at her and moved to pick up the pen, but Amelia shot at it and he immediately moved away.
Lorenzo turned to look at her alarmed "Are you crazy, you freaking masked lady" he screamed at her. Amelia moved closer to him, now aiming the gun at his head.
The gang could not do anything because it was against their morals to hurt a woman. Alexei did not even want to get close to a person holding what could end him in mere seconds, so he was well away from Lorenzo. Milo, on the other hand just sat and enjoyed the show of his business wife.
Amelia tilted her head a little while still pointing the gun at Lorenzo "Masked lady? It means you don't know who I am, and that's quite sad" she made the gun touch his head while her index finger was on the trigger "I'm someone who could kill you right now, and make absolutely no one remember you. Yes, your brother's wife can do that".
Lorenzo could feel sweat drizzling down his back. It was the first time a gun had touched his skin, and the cold feeling he felt was like a preparation for death.
"And trust me," Amelia continued "I'm not afraid to pull this trigger right now. So either you let go of my man, or I let go of you. Pick your poison" she said to him.
Lorenzo stared deep into Amelia's eyes and he knew that behind those pretty eyes, there was a maniac in there.
Milo could not get over the words of Amelia. The word 'my man' was probably the only thing he grasped from all the things she said. He did not know if she really meant it, or she had just gotten deep into the role she was playing. Even though she was obviously pointing a gun at his brother, he could not care less and only had eyes for her.
Alexei had looked around after his pain had gone down a little and realized they were the only ones in the room. All the gang members they paid had run off because everything was starting to look more heated than they had presumed. Alexei shut his eyes angrily and mumbled "Those fools".
Lorenzo who was still at gunpoint finally decided to let go, because the lady seemed like she could be there for eternity until Milo was set free.
"Fine, take your man and go" he said in a calm voice even though that was not how he felt inside. He slowly moved his hand to push Amelia's gun from his head, but she only pressed it in, and her actions made him shut his eyes in fear.
Amelia stared into his eyes some more, and then she hit the gun twice on his head softly "Good boy". She moved the gun away and went to Milo to remove the chain on his left hand.
As she walked to him, Milo could not get his eyes off her. She moved to his back and removed the chain from his hand, and he stood up.
Milo looked at Amelia for a while before he looked to his brothers "All this would have been avoided if you just believed what I said about not having anything to do with the company" he massaged his wrists because the chains had left them feeling sour.
Alexei looked to him and gave him a brotherly smile. He had suddenly turned a whole 180° because of his slight fear of Amelia. "Don't worry brother, we understand you now. We will not bother you on this matter again. You truly do not want anything with the company, and we see it" he said to Milo.
Milo looked at him with a raised eyebrow "When did I say that?" He asked "What?" Lorenzo shouted angrily and wanted to move straight to Milo, but one look from Amelia stopped him.
Milo smiled sweetly at both of them before looking to Amelia "My wife seems to have interest in it. What type of husband would I be if I don't give her what she wants?". This made Amelia stare back at him.
