"Come here, you sweet thing." Matt pulled her into his arm and had her pinned back to the door.
"Matt stop," Regina whispered, afraid that someone might hear them. But before she could free herself from his firm grip, he crashed his hungry lips on her.
"Matt.." Regina's voice came out in a muffled sound as she tried to free her lips from her brother-in-law's ravaging kiss.
"I missed you, baby. Tell me you missed me too." Matt said cupping and squeezing her breast as if he was milking a cow.
"This is not the right time, Matt." Regina forced him away from her. "We have a big problem on our hands. Amelia survived and is on her way home. We have to act fast."
"We will deal with that after a quickie." Matt forcefully flipped his sister-in-law around and roughly made her bend over while grinding his crotch on her big round ass.
"Matt," Regina called in a suppressed voice, wishing she could kick this man whore on the dick. But she knew the consequences of doing that.
Matt was her karma and she still needed him to ensure her unmovable place in the Shawls family.
"Five minutes," Matt said hungrily as he unzipped his trousers.
Gritting her teeth and clenching her fist, Regina was forced to give into her brother-in-law's voracious sexual appetite while openly mocking his fat wife for not satisfying his needs.
"Now we can talk," Matt said sluggishly as he cleaned himself up and fixed his zippers.
"I honestly think this is no longer a safe place to do this. Greg or someone else can find out. We have to stick to the former routine." Regina said, her gaze as cold as ice.
"I will have you wherever and whenever I want you, Gina," Matt said scornfully, his initial adoration vanished within the twinkle of an eye. "Do not forget who I am to you. You and Gwen both belong to me."
"I haven't forgotten." Regina hissed as she entered the bathroom to clean herself up.
"How do you want me to take care of that little brat since your foolproof plan failed?" Matt asked, going through his phone and checking the recent updates on social media about Amelia. "Do you want her dead?"
"No." Regina came out of the bedroom all cleaned up. "She's very smart to have made herself famous again within a shot interval. If we go after her now, people will suspect foul play. All we need is a scandal for her to go back into hiding and then we can take her out."
"When you make up your mind, feel free to let me know." Matt unlocked her door and let himself out.
"Bastard!" Regina wiped a single tear that escaped her eye. "Your time will come."

When Marcus told her that Blaze would be at the airport to pick her up, Amelia initially doubted him until she got into the black-tinted limousine and saw him tapping away on his laptop.
"You came!" Amelia almond shaped eyes widened in a slight thrill.
"I am a man of my word." Blaze lifted his eyes from his laptop screen to behold the beauty before him. She was looking way more gorgeous and elegant than he had imagined.
"You are famous, Amelia." Blaze picked up his iPad and handed it to her. "Everyone is talking about you."
"Wow!" Amelia's eyes brightened as she read different heartwarming comments.
While some fans addressed her as a superwoman, others tagged her as a goddess of beauty. Many sympathize with her over her husband's infidelity, while the majority begged her to divorce the cheating scum. But the part that got Amelia giggling to Blaze's fascination was the part where a well-known rich and powerful influencer who goes by his Instagram name, Hercules, openly proposed to her, while calling Jerry a dickless loser.
Without giving it any thought, Blaze, who could barely hold back his emotions, closed his laptop and set it aside, before moving closer to her.
"Have I told you that you look so beautiful, Amelia?"
"Umm...thank you, Mr Anderson." Amelia looked up from the iPad screen, eying Blaze suspiciously as he lifted his hand to touch her silky hair.
"Blaze...sweetheart." He said pushing her hair aside to reveal her slender neck. "Just call me Blaze."
Amelia could feel her heartbeat increasing and heat rising to her flushed cheeks as his finger softly brushed across her skin while touching the diamond necklace on her neck. But she recalled how he had aroused her in the past and trashed her afterwards.
"Ahem...Mr Blaze, I must remind you that we are business partners and not lovers. You need to keep your hands to yourself. You're making me uncomfortable and I do not appreciate it."
Blaze felt stung and hurt by her words. He held her stern gaze for a short before withdrawing his hand his initial soft gaze turning cold. He shifted back to his original position and resumed working on his laptop without saying anything to her.
Amelia instantly regretted saying those words knowing how he had gone overboard to make this day possible for her.
"I guess that must have come out wrongly. What I meant to say...."
"It's fine." Blaze's voice was void of any emotion. "We will be approaching your home shortly. You should get ready."
"Okay." Amelia nodded her head, leaning back on her seat, while stealing side glances at Blaze, who seemed so engrossed in whatever he was doing.
"Umm... Thank you for the jewelry, the clothes, the private jet experience, the bodyguards and everything else." She said, trying to put a smile on his face.
"It's part of the arrangement," Blaze said coldly without taking his eyes off the laptop screen.
Amelia didn't like the tension between them so she tried complimenting him instead.
"Did I mention that you were looking exceptionally handsome today in your well-tailored grey suit?"
"..."
Amelia swallowed the lump in her throat.
"Umm... Is it safe to call my aunty and friend now?"
"Yes."
"Okay," Amelia released a sigh as she dialed Stacy's number. She asked her to come down to the mansion, immediately. Next, she dialed her aunt's number and covered her ears from the thrilled scream before informing her that she was on her way to the mansion.
"That's for you." Blaze pointed to a luxury velvet ring box on the table in between the bottle of wine and red velvet cake.
"Another gift." Amelia's forehead slightly furrowed seeing how Blaze was spending so much money on her.
She slowly picked up the box, her heart beating really fast. She could guess what was inside as she opened it.
But nothing prepared her for the rare and priceless beauty within.
Inside the ring box what a stunning and jaw-dropping engagement ring featuring a rare 8.5-carat pink diamond.
"Oh my god...Blaze. This is too much. I-I don't know what to say. This is simply too much for me. How am I supposed to repay you at the end of this contract." She turned to face him, her eyes moist. But Blaze didn't take his eyes from his laptop screen as he spoke.
"You're rich girl, I'm sure you can figure that out."
Amelia could tell that Blaze was a very emotional and sensitive young man seeing that he was still angry with her.
"Sir, we have arrived at the Shawls mansion." Fred, his personal driver announced.
"Thank you, Fred."
Amelia closed the ring box and put it inside her small bag.
"When you're done here, Marcus will take you to your new home. Everything has been arranged." Blaze said, tapping away on his laptop.
Moving closer to her angry future husband, Amelia slowly closed his laptop forcing him to look up.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Blaze shot her a nasty glare.
"Saying thank you and I'm sorry."
Before Blaze could open his mouth to say something else, Amelia crashed her soft lips against his, kissing him briefly before pulling away.
"I'll see you later," She picked up her fancy small handbag and climbed out of the car, head held high, leaving Blaze in a complete daze.
