Chapter 112: Elaborate Act
Maria could barely contain her joy and pride as she watched her son hop down from the car, looking all smart and dazzling in his well-fitted white blazer.
Blaze hurried around the car to the other rear door and opened it up for his slightly timid wife, to the admiration of his grandparents. He extended his right hand towards Amelia, a breathtaking smile framing his handsome face, leaving him second-guessing whether this was real or all pretend.
Although a part of her yearned for this whole experience to be real, the other realistic part of her didn’t see a future with him. He was simply too unstable, ruthless and arrogant. Moreover, she wanted kids and he had made it abundantly clear that he didn’t want any.
Taking a deep breath, Amelia accepted his hand, returning his smile with a plastered one. She promised herself that she would enjoy this part of him to the fullest after all she had paid the price for it. At least, she deserved to be happy even though it wasn’t meant to last for more than the weekend.
Holding Amelia’s hand to his chest as though they were inseparable, Blaze led her to his awaiting family.
“She looks so beautiful, way prettier than the formal lady that dumped him.” One of Blaze’s female cousins stated enthusiastically.
“She also has a great sense of fashion.” Another female cousin, who happens to be a fashionista, pointed out, admiring the way Amelia’s white long Caribbean-like lace gown sat comfortably on her fair skin, giving her a modest yet sophisticated look.
“They look so in sync with one another.” Another of Blaze’s maternal uncle’s wife noted, alongside other complimenting comments.
While everyone gushed over the approaching couple, Henry didn’t seem to fall for their elaborate act. He already knew about their contract marriage and he also knew that love was not an option for the angry young man called Blaze. He didn’t want to see Amelia get hurt especially with the way Blaze was going about this. He was afraid Blaze might be misleading Amelia with all this affection.
“My sweetheart!” Maria stepped forward to receive her children, her sky-blue eyes brimming with a cosmic smile.
“Mum…” Blaze extended his other free hand towards his mother but she playfully pushed his hand away and said.
“I was referring to my daughter-in-law, not you.”
“I feel jealous right now.” Blaze grinned.
Amelia chuckled sweetly as Maria scooped her away from Blaze’s arm.
“How was your trip?”
“It was smooth.”
Amelia soaked in Maria’s refreshing fruity perfume in her warm embrace while Blaze greeted his grandparents.
“Grandpa, Mamo.”
“Blaze, my boy.” Luther Anderson, patted him on the shoulder, making room for his emotional wife.
“My sweet Darian.” Blaze’s grandmother called him fondly, opening her frail arms to embrace him. She stroked his hair tenderly and kissed him softly on his cheek before releasing. “How have you been, my child?”
“Awesome, Mamo. What about you? You didn’t seem to age one bit from the last time I saw you.”
“Is that flattery I sense?” Kelly arched her eyebrow.
“Not at all, Mamo. You really look great.”
“Thank you. By the way, you finally got married like you promised. I’m impressed. All I need now are grandchildren from you both before I leave this world.” Mamo said beaming at the young beside Maria.
A crease appeared on Blaze’s forehead but they quickly disappeared.
“We will do our best…ahem!” Blaze called Amelia’s attention to him. “Mamo, Grandpa, I would like you both to meet my wife, Amelia Anderson.”
“Good afternoon, ma’am, good afternoon sir. It’s so good to finally meet you two in person.” Amelia curtsied before them, smiling sweetly.
“It’s Mamo and Grandpa, my darling.” The old woman opened her arm and embraced Amelia.
“Welcome home, my child.”

“Thank you, Mamo.” Amelia felt completely overwhelmed by the tenderness of the old woman.
“I trust your journey down here wasn’t stressful.”
“Not at all.”
“How are your family back at home?”
“Fine.” Amelia smiled feverishly, praying the old woman wouldn’t ask anything further about her family.
“Amelia, thank you for marrying this young stubborn man.” Luther Anderson beamed, also engulfing his granddaughter-in-law in a tender embrace. “I do not know how he was able to capture a beautiful angel like you. But I can see you too will make such a great couple.”
“I wish!” Amelia was tempted to say. Rather she maintained her smile and said. “Thank you, grandpa.”
One by one, Blaze introduced every member of the family to Amelia. They were all receptive towards her and welcomed her into the fold.
“Attention everyone.” Vera clapped her hands in the air, gaining their attention. “Since everyone is here and accounted for, let’s all move to the back of the mansion.”
They all chorused a response and followed her lead.
Amelia looked back at Blaze, who was currently engrossed in a conversation with Eugene’s elder married brother. She was amazed at how swiftly his personality had changed from an aggressive and hostile individual to someone more endearing, almost like a normal man. It felt good to see this rare side of him even though it wasn’t meant to last. She turned her head to the other side and saw Henry staring longingly at her. She smiled genuinely at him and was about to join him when one of Blaze’s cousins hijacked her attention.
“So Amy, tell me, how did you and my cousin meet? Did he scare you with his bad temper?” Olivia, Blaze’s tall and super hot cousin asked in a friendly voice, interlocking her arms with Amelia’s.
“Nah!” Amelia shook her head, admiring Olivia’s captivating grey eyes up close. There was no denying the fact that beauty ran in the Anderson family, with their signature grey eyes.
“More like persistently annoying.,” Amelia said the first thought that came to her mind before reverting to the revised version of her first meeting with Blaze just as they had both rehearsed earlier.
More of Blaze’s cousins dotted around Amelia, bombarding her with more questions until Blaze came to her rescue.
“Stay with Henry and Eugene for now. I need to be beside my mom when the ceremony commences.
“Sure,” Amelia replied, smiling as Henry made his way towards her.
