A Lie, A Scandal And A Wedding 17. In A Meeting With Clarissa
Liam sat in the car, looking out of the window, staring at the restaurant where he was supposed to meet Frank and Clarissa. Even though the car pulled over some thirty minutes ago. He dreaded seeing him. What news will he have for him now? Has he found a new lead? Things didn't add up. Liam couldn't believe it had been five years since the death of his parents. And every time a new lead comes up, it looks like they've just died.“Are you not going in?” Liam came out of his thoughts to look at Noah, who was seated across from him in the limousine.Liam ignored his words but rather asked him instead, “How's Maya? Has she left the office?”Noah snorted at him; he knew what Liam was doing, and he wasn't going to allow it. “You are stalling my question, and you know it,” He told him, already opening the door.Come, let's go in and have it done already.” He waved Liam over, who reluctantly got out of the car. He heaves a loud sigh. “That's right, let's get this done so I can go home to b

Liam staggered to the elevator and pressed the key to the penthouse. He didn't want to risk being seen by anyone, especially not in this state.The door opened and he walked into it, he pressed it close and watched Noah running over. Liam stopped the elevator with his foot and called to him“ Go home, Noah. I don't need you here to babysit me” Noah looked at the boss, a feeling of sadness enveloping him. He hated to see the boss like this. He didn't know what to say, which was why he nodded and turned back towards the parking lot where his car was parked. He got into it and drove off, hoping the boss would be okay. Maybe being alone will finally help him to sort out his problems.Liam sighs as he lets go of the elevator door and rests his head on the wall, letting his bag drop to the floor with a loud thud.He held his head as he thought back to that night. He would give anything to change everything. To make everything right. If only he didn't make that phone call.“What do you mean

The sunlight pouring through the glass window caused Liam to shield his eyes with his hands as he turned to stretch his body.He opened his eyes slowly, and turned to take in his surroundings. He was disoriented for a few seconds before the memories of yesterday came flooding through his memory lane.He made to stand up, but froze as soon as he noticed the hairs. Mass and mass of thick hair overflowed his duvet. He freezes. He slowly rises and stares at the lady in shock.“Maya?” He frowned as he paced to and fro the room lost for words.“What is she doing here?” He wondered. No matter how hard he searched his mind, he couldn't remember seeing her yesterday.Just as he made to wake her up, the elevator dinged as Noah stepped into the floor, he opened the door and shouted his boss's name since he knew his boss would still be in bed.But he didn't envision his boss running to meet him, almost naked, with a brief on, as he put his hand on his mouth signalling him to shut up.Noah nodded

“And what's wrong with my favourite daughter-in-law, today?” Maya turned toward Mr. Powell with a smile on her face. She saw him descend the stairs from the other side of the room. She stood up and went toward him, wiping the frown from her face.“Why Grandpa, I'm your only daughter-in-law?” Maya told Liam's grandfather as he chuckled and put his arms around her shoulder, letting her guide him to the couch.“Of course, and you are my favourite”“So, what's wrong with you? You've been moody since she came back from the office ” Mr. Mason asked his daughter-in-law as he turned to watch her frown before taking her eyes off him.“It's nothing, grandfather,” Maya replied with a shrug. How could she explain to Liam's grandfather that she was jealous of Clarissa, a faceless woman who calls Liam every time they are together?Liam's grandfather looked at her with a slight twitch of his eyebrows which shows he didn't believe her but he didn't press her on it instead, he brought out an album an

Liam walked into the Hotel Estia with Maya looking around him with awe.“Woah! This is so beautiful ” She exclaimed excitedly, covering her face from the harsh sun with a straw hat.Liam turned to smile at her, he watched her run around the sand aimlessly while spreading her hands around her. She was so beautiful. A unique beauty that makes Liam ache with desiring her. He wants her so bad. And Liam Powell wasn't one to back down from any challenge as he hoped to make use of this vacation to the best of his ability.

Liam dropped Maya gently on the couch and half ran into the bathroom. He came back with a heavy white towel, he wrapped it around Maya and bent to look into her eyes. “This should help,” He told her as he draped it around her shoulder and tightened it around her. Maya nodded. The chatter has subsided but she still feels a bit cold from staying in the water for too long “Here,” He hands the two ends for her to hold. He stood up and gazed at her “I'll go make coffee. That should help also.” Liam told her, already rushing to the kitchen. He switched on the coffee maker and started with the coffee. Thirty minutes later, Maya snuggled into her towel, holding her coffee which she sipped at intervals, head resting on Liam's shoulder. The cold has finally subsided, giving way to the awareness that rises from being close to Liam. She shakily dropped her cup on the saucer. And fold her hands together on her lap. Anything to keep her from touching Liam. Liam noticed Maya's quietness and

“Welcome to La Cuisine. Would you like a secluded seat?”Liam turned to the middle-aged woman who was welcoming them into the restaurant. She looked to be the owner of the restaurant. Liam knew she had taken one look at him and his partner to know they were important people.“No, thank you.” Liam nodded at her before turning to see everyone busy with their meals ignoring them“Out here with them will be better,” He told her. Madame smiled and ushered them to a vacant chair by the window.“I hope this will do," The woman looked at Liam apologetically.Liam nodded. He sat down on the chair and stretched his legs while motioning Maya to do the same. Any place with people will do. He couldn't bear being alone with her. He may be tempted to take advantage of her. Even when he had been a youth, he hadn't been a raving one.“Do you like it?” Liam asked Maya as she sat in front of himMaya nodded. She turned to look around the building, it was a little shop painted in brown and cream. Where t

Maya followed Liam down the road away from where they've parked their car “Where are we going?” She asked him as they kept climbing hills.Liam stopped and turned to her “There's a flea market around here. I want us to look around who know” He shrug as he pointed ahead “You might find something you like”Maya paused as she watched him walk ahead, his dark jeans tightening as he moved his legs, driving the feeling she has been trying to diminish ever since he started eating.She didn't know Liam was a noisy eater. With all the oh's and ah's, she won't be surprised if her panties is soaked already.“Why do I feel like there is more to this? '' Maya suddenly muttered to herself. She continued watching him before she shrugged and turned to follow him down the hills.The flea market was full, different shops were showcasing different wares. From baked cookies to cheap furniture and decorations.“I used to come here a lot just to watch them” Liam said to her as they stood side by side at th

She told me that" Liam replied as he folded his hands behind his head and watched her with half closed eyes.Even though he was glad to see that she was jealous of Fiona, he was already getting tired of her ranting. It's been a week already and she will stop throwing accusations at him."I'm not being paranoid. I saw her kiss you the other day in the elevator" Maya continued loudly. She was getting angry with him. Why couldn't he see her point and send Fiona away. Liam raised his eyebrow, " That was just a chaste kiss, Maya. Come off it" He told her pretending to sleep so she might stop her ranting.Fiona was going to be the wedge in their relationship. She came here to wreck trouble for Maya.

Maya gasped as she looked at the result in her hands in shock. “Congratulations, Mrs. Powell” Doctor Gordon told her all smiles as he relaxed back on the chair. He was excited to be the one sharing such interesting news with her.“You be having a baby very soon”Maya's rose to take in the doctor's excited smile“ Doctor I___three___weeks”Maya stammered dangerously. She didn't need the test to know when she took in, it was that night. That night in Estia, they had sex. And now they've made a baby. A tiny little human that needs her love. “Oh my God” Maya screamed excitedly, tears streaming down her face as she clutched the result tightly in her hands.

“Hello,” Maya said as soon as she answered the call. A part of her was wondering why Alexander was calling her. She thought they'd ended everything between them, the last time he came here to meet her. Moreover, Liam had promised not to demolish their house again or did he go against his promise again? Maya wondered as she stared into the eyes of the man she would ever love, who was coming over to meet her.Today, like every other day, he was dressed in a black suit, a white shirt complete with a navy blue tie. Maya suddenly remembered the party they were to attend the next day, she couldn't help feeling excited. She wanted to see Liam in a tuxedo. She knew it would look good on him just like his normal clothes did.“I need to see you. Can we meet up?” Alexander's voice spilled into the phone as Maya gripped the phone tightly.

"Give me your lips, Maya" His voice is heavily laden with desire.Maya's eyes closed as she drew closer to Liam, her mouth open slightly to suck in air.Her body had stiffened since she heard that husky voice from Liam. Her body taut like an electric current was zinging through her body.."You taste even better today, Darling" Liam replied as he let go of her lips to trail kisses down to her throat."I want you so much. I want to be deep in you. I want to hear you scream my name" He whispered as he stopped on the cleavage of her purple chiffon top.He let his fingertips trace the necklace he had gifted her one time at a diner he took her too. It was a golden chain with a key pendant which he had made for her.It was one of a kind. And it was his way of indirectly telling her that she owns the key to his heart. It was his way of telling her that he loves her."Yes, Liam. Take me" Maya gasped as his finger grazed the fuller part of her boobs. She jumped as if been burnt. No matter how ma

Charles sat in the cafe sipping tea with a burger he had ordered earlier . His eyes went to the watch at the back of his wrist to check the time. He frowned as soon as he noticed Alexander was thirty minutes late.Has he chicken out? Charles wondered as he stared out of the transparent window again, checking the busy road for any sign of Alexander. "Fuck" He swore angrily as he stood up. His hand went to his pocket to extract his wallet as he pulled out some cash. He was about to place them on the table when the door dinged, signalling a new customer. His eyes raised and he took in Alexander who was looking around the shop before his eyes finally rested on him.Charles smiled as he motioned him over. A part of him was glad that everything was falling into plan. If everything goes well then Maya would pay for insulting him. He had wanted her to choose his sweet side but she had refused.

A Lie, A Scandal And A Wedding 33. Mr. Daniel Clinton
The Sun shines brighter in the sky. Mrs Clinton donned her makeup, picked up her Luiz Vuitton bag and went out of her room. She walked down the stairs giggling excitedly. She had played them smartly and she was glad.Since Liam had chased her husband from the company, he no longer pays them a monthly allowance and the one Grandpa Mason gave to them was so small that it couldn't sustain their household not to talk of it being enough to meet her personal needs. She paused as soon as she noticed her husband pacing around the sitting room.She glared at him. This was all his fault, if only he hadn't left that company she wouldn't have had to stoop so low as to purchase a counterfeit. She hopes no one notices at the Marshall's party.“Where are you going?” Mr. Clinton bellowed at his wife who had ignored him and instead moved towards the door.Even since the incident at the office, she has been avoiding him.“I'm going to the Marshall's party.'' She called to him. She turned to look at him

Maya smiled. She did tell Alexander that Liam would do anything for her. She knew he was attracted to her.“I don't want you to chase anyone from that house,” Maya responded. She smiled at him.“And what are you willing to give me in exchange?” Liam inquired of her. He smirked as soon as he saw the shock on her face.“Really, Maya? Do you think I was going to give up a billion-dollar project and not want anything in exchange?” Liam asked her. Just who the hell does she think he was? He might love her but he was a businessman at heart.Maya gulped as she avoided his eyes. He was willing to let go of the house in exchange for what she could give him. And what could that be?
