I stay where I am and watch Liam leave my side to the podium in the room.

Fuck.

This is getting my nervous system crazy.

"Ma'am," I hear someone call behind me, and turn around…

"Here," The talk man behind me says, handing me a small but unique glass cup.

"Your husband will make a toast soon" He beams as I take the glass cup from him.

My husband..

The word makes my stomach churn, but I just draw a smile and nod, leaving him to walk away.

I watch as everyone gets their cup filled with wine, and I clutch my cup to myself as I turn to Liam who has been speaking for a while.

"It's an honor having you here tonight, believe me, it's really an honor…

I let Liam words drift again as I feel someone's presence beside me.

These people are not letting me focus on my husb-liam.

"Excuse me ma'am" The man who had led us to the private room, smiles beside me and I nod.

He is wearing gloves now with a brand new wine bottle different from the rest, he pops the bottle open beside me, and el

    I exchange a quick glance with Liam before turning to the woman in front of us. She's in heels too but we're both clocking the same height, she has nice brown hair that constructs her face and high cheek bones perfectly well. I can clearly remember her name 'Anastasia collin', age. Thirty five, was once pregnant but lost her child, and is married to the late mayor, who's kind of not late, Harry Houston. According to the book, which warned that she's a very sly person and also a narcisst, I am glad my memory is doing a great job right now. "Anna" Liam calls, getting way close to me, like he's protecting from a really bad energy. "Liam, look at you, all grown up." she kisses her teeth."Well, what can I say?" Liam gently shrugs with a smile. The lady turns to me, "And your wife" she beams "Scarlett you are way prettier in real life than you are in photos" She waves her hand. "Thanks…" I nod with a smile. "Oh dear, you and Liam are sure one hell of a perfect match. But I never

    "But he fuckin touched you!" Liam is fuming in anger and not even trying to hide it behind one of his creepy smiles. "He saved me from that stupid waiter" I replied, adjusting the towel on my body. "But he still touched you." Liam raised his brows up way too forcefully. "Yes because he was trying to save me, get this together Liam, do you expect him to save me some psychokinetic powers or what?" I try not to raise my voice. We are in the private room I was brought into after the small incident with the waiter, and after waiting inside by myself for ages, Liam had burst in the room to tell me how he didn't witness the whole incident but had seen a glimpse of Draken holding my waist.Wow. "You have hands, he could have held your hands, why go all the way to touch your waist? I don't even want him or anyone touching any part of you" "Okay you're getting weird, you're supposed to be grateful to Draken, but you're here yelling at me. What the hell" I scoff, knowing if this goes on I

    Despite telling me to go inside the suite room to rest and ignore literally everything I had seen, I disagreed and proceeded to help Vilda clean the mess Liam had made. We both silently and carefully pick the broken glass from the concrete floor, I let myself wonder.. Why would Liam just break things? Was he mad or was it accidentally, if it was an accident then a lot of things wouldn't be broken, he also smashed the television.. "Ouch" I wince as my finger gets pricked by a sharp broken bottle. Vilda immediately get on her toes "Scarlett, I did warn you, please ignore this, sir Liam would definitely not like it if you get yourself wounded by a mess he made, if he finds out he's going to snap" "It's just a small cut" I wave it up, ready to start helping again when Vilda stops me.. "Leave it alone, I'll handle it" She says, sternly. "But… I stop talking and let it go. "But why would Liam do something like this? What happened?" I ask. Vilda sighs, "It's nothing to worry your

    -The evening of Liam Knight showing off his wife to the guest present at the gala he hosted and to the public got off to a great start. The people loved how pretty and elegant she was, and even some of the guests testified how magnificent she looked in real life in pictures. She is unquestionably someone who should be kept as a wife; she is an excellent choice. But why did things turn out the way they did? The fact that Liam Knight wasn't seen with his wife throughout the entirety of the night and that she was seen with another man, a very good friend of Liam's named Draken Kennedy, who had rescued Liam's wife after a crazy accident, led many of the guests to testify that this couple appeared emotionally distant from one another. Surprisingly, Liam did not show up to defend his wife or investigate what had gone wrong even after the incident had taken place. The question is now... let's go back to the headline.-I let my fingers scroll on Ruby's phone as I scroll up to the headline tha

    "I am pregnant," "What… why?" "What do you mean why? I had sex and now I'm pregnant and I don't know how to deal with this shit.""Well Ginny, I don't know what to say to be honest" I shake my head, but I am honest. "The fuck." Ginny curse. "Okay, maybe you don't know what to do but I'm pretty sure Liam would understand right?" "No he wouldn't, it's your child not mine" I say starting to walk away. "Scarlett…" I hear Ginny call behind me. "Scarlett, fuckin answer me" She yells. "Scarlett!" "Scarlett…" I feel a tap on my shoulder and gently open my eyes. The hell. That was a dream? A really messed up dream. I feel myself breathe and turn to my side, taking his familiar scent. "Liam…" I call. "We're here," He announces and walks out of the car. I thought he wanted to leave, but he leaves me shocked by opening the car door for me. The driver normally does that. I walk out of the car feeling a bit wonky, and as I take a step, I feel a rush of waves hit and I see my body co

    I gulp, still standing still. And now I don't know if it's weird or I want this man to grab both of my breasts. Liam seems to be reading my mind, as I feel his hands gently ascending my body as I remain still.As Liam's hand nears my breast, my breathing becomes erratic, and all my head wants is for his hand to seize it in its entirety.Like hurry up.I am already sobering up, and I honestly do not want to.As his hands finally approach and he presses his touch across the softness of my breast, I feel tingling in my toenails.The room is very silent, and I also sucked my bottom lip in quietly.Liam and I don't have any relationship that qualifies us for sex; we're just doing this marriage thing for the sake of the media, and while we kissed in public, I don't think it qualifies us for sex. We don't need any passes right now, do we? We're young, energetic, and... sexually active.Is it the alcohol, or is it something else? I don't want to get sober for whatever reason.Whatever is hap

    I open the door to the suite's room and it reveals Ruby, looking enthusiastic as ever, dressed in a very short Jean pair of shorts and white T-shirt. "Mrs. Knight '' She beams, stepping in with her purse and some kit. I close the door behind us and then to Vilda to see her looking at me in a way that says, this isn't right. Well if she wants to know what's not right, it's Liam ghosting me. Yeah. Ruby and I step into the suite's bedroom and I close the thick foggy glass behind us, so Vilda can hardly hear anything we would say. The living room is big and far away from the bedroom but still, it's safer to close the door. I don't want her walking in on us and yelling, don't tell a stranger about your relationship with Liam. Ruby's not a stranger, and Vilda can never do that. She would rather not get involved with a lot of things.I think sooner or later she might quit being my bodyguard, because a day ago she told me I was a lot of work, and that I am too much to handle for anyo

    I take a step back and shake my head at Ruby. "What the hell was that?" I scoff, She throws in scattered glances before deciding to let her eyes meet mine. "I'm sorry" She sighs. "It's just that you're like…. You're… She's finding it hard to finish her words. "I'm what?" I slam. "I'm sorry" she rolls her eyes and shuts them. "You said you wanted to have fun and stuff and I just got carried away and I just did that… I'm really sorry, can we rewind time or erase that. I am really sorry." "Ruby my definition of fun is not with gi-" I take a pause and let out a sigh. "Sure, I'll forget about it" I nod, not planning to press on it more. "Thank you" She says through her faux smile. "Thanks for your time though" I nod.. She beams, "Anytime" With Ruby gone, I fall on the soft bed and breathe out a sigh, not neither her words or action get to me. I pick up my phone and check the time, when I notice a message from Ginny. I Tap on the message and it opens to a writeup and a li

    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
