Clearly not taken aback by my sudden straddle and kiss, Liam gently holds my waist and pushes me away from his lips and body. He scoffs, sounding in-between mad and confused. "What was that?" He scoffs. I pause. Yeah? What the hell was that? I hear my subconscious slam me about walking around the whole house and letting my thoughts sink in to be futile, only to kiss him when I walk into the room. I let the embarrassment sink in before trying to speak. "You… wanted a loving wife…? I'm sticking to the contract" I shrug. Maybe it was a bad idea meeting up with Ginny and Hannah anyways. Liam gets on his feet. He is quiet, with just his eyes watching whatever expression my face is trying to morph into, because as much as I am trying to play clueless, I am embarrassed as hell. I wonder if he can tell. He scoffs. "Yeah? Did your friends say anything that suddenly changed your mind?" I give no reply.Literally all they did was convince me, this place is far better than the sh
Clearly, I was given the name Scarlett, by my mother and I know that thanks to my grandma. I've been called by the name Scarlett for two decades and more and all of a sudden, a man wants to change my name to Raven. Raven… "Take a seat." Liam sighs. Ignoring my question about the Raven he's always calling me. Or do I look like a Raven he used to know. I listen anyway and quietly take a seat, letting the food in front of my eyes control my legs. I take a seat, and so does Liam. We are both quiet. "You can start eating," He says, noticing how my eyes keep bouncing from his face to the food. I gently take the fork right beside my plate and dig in. I try not to acknowledge the fact that Liam is right beside me, and let myself eat comfortably. "It must be annoying right?" Liam sighs, I turn to him "Hmm?" I say, my mouth already full with duck breast. "Calling you Raven, you find it annoying don't you?" He sighs. I forcefully swallow the food in my mouth before speaking.
Sometimes, people find it difficult to rely on others because they are so used to doing things on their own and being independent that they forget the term "reliable" might refer to someone other than themselves. They go to great lengths to try to cure things on their own and end up hurting themselves.And the only thing they've ever needed to stop suffering was someone to talk to, lean on, and trust. And now standing here with Liam, all I know about this man is that he is wealthy, fit, charming with his looks and is working towards something big he wants to achieve, something he doesn't want me to know. And that's all I know about him, I do know I have never met this man before, even if I have, my memories are not helping, still that doesn't mean I know everything about him. Hugging me so tightly and letting his sigh escape every two or three seconds reveals nothing but how whatever is going on with Liam is killing him on the inside, and the larger picture of how he needs me to be
Before I know it, I am typing fast to reply to the comments as I boil on the inside. Cursing and saying out loud what I'm about to type."Fuck you, and hell, I can handle two of Liam in a bed in one night and he'll beg me to keep go-" What?" Liam's voice stops my every movement and I slowly turn to the door to see him standing there.I immediately hold my breath, and try to act like those words did not just come out of me"What?" I widen my eyes. "What?" He tilts his head. "What?" I purse my lips, planning to shut up for good. "What… did you just say?" He asks, and I watch his Adam's apple move as he gulps slowly. "What did I say? I said nothing" I rush my words, tucking my hair behind both my ears. "Really?" His gaze surpresses mine. I nod. "Okay then" He sighs "We're leaving, get ready." I am too embarrassed to look at him again in the eye and just nod and watches from the corner of my eyes as he leaves my room. I breathe out a sigh of relief as the door clicks close. W
"Now where are you handling two of me in a bed in one night." I froze..Fuck!He did not just say that.I thought he didn't hear what I said. Liam burst out laughing, noticing the horrified look on my face, a calm low laugh that has really built up in him. "I did not mean that," I say when he stops laughing. "Really?" He raises a brow, walking towards the bed and taking off his shoes. "I was just… bluffing." I shrug, Literally the comments just pushed me out to one of my outbursts, I've never handled it with someone like Liam on a bed, needless to say handle two of him. "Bluffing huh?" Liam scoffs and eyes me in a way that leaves me unsettled. "Yeah." I reciprocate the look he gave me. "Of course," He laughs to himself. I look around the room, its coziness is welcoming enough, and then I turn to the man inside the room. "We'll be staying here for the night… together?" I ask. "Yeah, I said so earlier, the hotel we were supposed to-"Yeah, I know" I interrupt him, but n
-The night of scarlett's twenty first birthday-3 years ago… * "You literally wasted our entire time," Ginny yells, swinging her bag as we step out of the taxi we had booked. . The night is young and cold, really cold. "It's my birthday, I don't get to be yelled at for taking an extra time to look good," I shake my head. "Let's just go in guys, it's cold." Hannah sighs, not looking too thrilled. "You know, you both can just go home and leave me to go to the club-"No Scarlett, we promised, and if we leave you, you might spend your birthday with one random silly ass dude." "I promise I won't" I sigh. "Nope" We step into the bar, and it is as boring I expected it to be. I get that Ginny and Hannah wants to spend this special day with me, just like they've always done, it's sweet I get it. But coming to an expensive bar, isn't very much, 'me. Expensive doesn't always mean happy, because according to this bar, expensive is boring. It's just rich ass people or wannabee rich as
-The night of scarlett's twenty first birthday-3 years ago… continues**"You know Eugene, when you brought the idea of a game to kill our boring ass time in this room, I thought you meant something fun. What the hell is this?" I scoff, half sober, eyeing the almost finished cigeratte in his hand. "It's not a popular game, I didn't like it at first, but I got a hang of it and then liked it," "How does trying to guess what we both have in mind a game. It's lame and i am bored" I scoff. "Well, at least I proposed a deal, I am trying to fix the lame air, don't try to nag me like I'm your friends who ditched you. Who pulled the knob out of the door in the first place?" Liam gets on his feet and moves to the window. I sigh. Right, I shouldn't complain, this is all my fault. "I'm sorry," I apologize, getting on my feet too. "Sure…" He replies, hitting the burning edge of the cigarette on the window rack to turn it off. "I just want to do something fun, I've been home all day" I
*current day… . . "So you have zero idea how your hand got on my pants?" Liam asks, taking more steps closer, until our bodies are almost touching and pressing my hand on his body, until I have no choice but to slip it out. "Yeah, I didn't." I say, my eyes still bouncing back to his V-line. "My face is up here" Liam scoffs, lifting my chin up with his fingers, and making my eyes redirect to his face. His eyes. His eyes are not just his right now, it's holding so much, dangerously much. "Raven…" He calls. "if you could have anything right now. What would it be?..."Ah, Raven. Even I forgot I ever wanted to be called by that name and just like that, like the way he calls it, the fact that I forgot but yet he remembered. "If u could have anything right now?" I repeat, getting myself lost. "Yeah anything…" "Right now…" I am lost in thoughts. "You don't have to think, be spontaneous" He smiles…. Where is he getting at? Why would he ask if I could want anything? "Nothing"
Scarlett**FOUR YEARS AFTER…. “I would kill, honestly… anything for some peace and quiet, and less danger right now" I slap Liam's arm and he chuckles. "Just joking…" He says through his teeth as he picks up the toys from the floor and turns off the TV. The moment the TV went off, our babies went off with their cries, turning red. I glance at Liam and let out a sigh.. "This is sure going to be one long day" _ The doorbell goes off and I find myself running down the stairs to get the door. I open the door and Ginny's grin makes me smile. "Now where's my favorite Twin?" She shakes the wrapped present in her hand. I notice Michael behind her, holding a really huge wrapped gift. "They're upstairs, Liam's trying to put Rick in his outfit" I say and Ginny walks inside. "Hey Michael…" I say, the moment he steps in. "I don't mean to pry but that's a teddy bear… right" I touch the wrapped present, and feeling its softness, I breathe out a sigh of relief.. Michael smirks, "Ginn
With Ginny and Hannah now inside the living room, enjoying a warm cup of coffee, and giggling to themselves. I get a plate of cookies ready for them, and when I get back to them, they simply ignore my cookies and Ginny waves her hand. "Go on now… You go first" She says and Hannah nods In agreement. "Why me? We yelled guess what at the door together, and we did not ride a three almost four hours long ass ride to come here and just simply spill it" Ginny scoff and I laugh. "How's Liam by the way…?" Hannah asks. "Yeah, forgot to ask about him," Ginny adds. "He's in a therapy session, he'll be back soon, he's good" I smile. "Good, now spill the tea… we're getting impatient" Ginny urges me. I laugh again, but I go on to tell them about a new product that's going to be made after me, and their reaction just made me feel brand new. "Girl! That's big news" Ginny covers her mouth with her hand. My eyes immediately catch the shiny thing around her middle finger and I grab her hand.
The day is expectedly bright and sunny, and deadly hot. I Decided to sunbathe minutes ago and can already feel my skin tearing apart. I take the shades off my eyes and turn to the pool In front of me.. I don't even know how to swim. How embarrassing can my life get? I get on my feet and walk slowly to the edge of the pool where I take a seat and dip just my legs into the cold water, and it feels nice already. Liam isn't home and my life feels like it's falling apart. He's currently with his walking therapist or whatever they call him, and I feel like I'm having the worst day ever. It's been two days since I had that weird sex dream about Liam… Not weird per say, cause I really enjoyed it honestly, and telling him about it just made us both feel like hell. It was a mistake I shouldn't have went for, cause he just laid there, listening to me talk about fuckin him and I went on to pour out my kinky desire, knowing that if he tries to bang me. He might break more than just his bone
Scarlett "It won't stop raining" I sigh walking away from the window and to the bed where Liam is busy with his phone. "It's not like you're going to do anything with the rain, take a seat" He looks away from his phone and gently taps on the bed for me to come seat. "I don't really enjoy rainy days in the middle of summer, it's just 12pm and yet feels like 12am" I shudder, taking a seat beside him. He wraps me like an infant and gives his attention back to his phone."You're going to hold me and not even look at me?" I scoff, pulling the knee length warm socks to give my legs a proper coverage. He glances at me and gives me one of those smile of his, that excited my every being. He gently drops his phone and steadies his wrapped hand around my waist. "Okay now, careful," I scoff referring to my- our babies and he laughs."I'll be careful… The most careful" He leans down and starts to kiss me gently. His body completely buried mine. Goodness, I've missed this heavenly fe
It's been three weeks since Anne kidnapped me. I don't think I've ever used or thought of the word 'kidnapped' until I started living with Liam. And he started it all this. Liam's better and has been getting some type of therapy Halle recommended, for walking properly. He still uses crutches around the house though, but I am glad his health and everything that that fine body of his has are improving greatly. I could say I no longer need hiding but still stay with Liam in his father's home. Anne has been put to bar after her dirty atrocities were leaked. And hell it was a lot. The night after she kidnapped me. For the freaking second time. Everyone watching the news station at that moment went wild when the news lady started to reveal all her crimes and I don't know who gave them that information but Anne isn't going to be coming out of jail for a very long time. It was said she was partners with a drug dealer who also owned an underground brothel where they make
I make my way towards Liam, a rigid smile on my face. He doesn't look happy, but I can tell the relief he's feeling just by staring at me. I walk up to him and fall to his body like he's not covered in cast. My hands wrap around his neck and I start to cry like a child. He wraps me with his only movable hand and buries his head in my neck. God I miss him so much. Not just miss him because I was kidnapped by his crazy aunt. I missed him, everything about him and mostly his touches and what his face feels like, buried in my neck. I let go of him when I feel my weight becoming too heavy for him. I straighten my posture as I wipe my tears, that is getting frozen already. Summer nights are always the coldest. "Why did you come out… it's too cold." I say, picking up the blanket that had fallen from me while giving Liam a hug. "I couldn't just sit still and watch some weird woman do something to my wife." He scoffs. His wife… I sniff, "But still, you've not recovered fully
Scarlett "You're making this really difficult you know that" Ruby scoffs cupping my cheek and straddling me at the same. I don't reply her and just let my thoughts run through my mind. "Are you even listening to me Scarlett?" Ruby raises my head with her index finger. I glance down at her body which is now open, with her shirt lying on the floor. "What do you need my attention for? You want to have your way with me… go on then" I shrug. Crying or trying to struggle out of this will be futile. My hands are densely tied and even if I do get out of the room, I don't know what's out there. Waiting for me. Ruby scoffs, "You're making this really difficult for me… for us" "There's no us, there can never be an us, not tonight… Not forever" I say, looking at the rope around my wrist. I feel Ruby weight leave mine and she gently goes on to grab her shirt on the floor. She comes back to seat on the bed beside me and after a moment of silence, I hear her breathe. "I don't regret i
LIAM-I am currently exercising self-control while I lie here by myself in my bed. Scarlett and the nurse left the building approximately ten minutes ago, but she still hasn't arrived. I quickly peek at the clock on the wall and then out the window to confirm that the sun is still shining. I realise that it has been a few minutes since Scarlett has left, but I still can't stop thinking about her. All of a sudden, I find myself grinning like a fool while thinking about Scarlett. There is a part of me that is curious about what took place between us over the previous few months that I can't remember, but there is also a part of me that doesn't want to know. When you wake up one day and realise that someone else has already started to make your heart beat faster for them, it is pretty strange. It is not completely strange, but it is strange. And there I was, assuming that love would be difficult for someone like me to experience. I feel… I have no idea, but might this be what it's li
Scarlett~~*What's that smell… Smells really good. I snap my eyes open and the pink ceilings above my eyes, gets me on a chokehold. Where the fuck am I? I sit up, and the lady in front of me jumps. "Oh dang, Mrs. Knight you scared me" she places her hand on her chest. "Who are you?" I ask, looking around. The room looks like a pink unicorn puked all over it. The last thing I remember is… I gasp. Ophelia, Ophe freaking Lia! I try to get out of bed, but I notice my hands are softly tied to a pink rope which is tied against the bed board railings."Who are you and where am I?" I ask the lady in the room, who's now filling two cups with chocolate tea. "I'm sorry, I'm not supposed to say anything" She doesn't look at me. I sigh. She fills the cups with tea and I watch her scurry out of the room with an aloof smile. What the hell. I turn to the ropes around my wrists, and though it looks completely harmless, it still looks like it's completely hard to take off. T
