~Liam’s POV~
She kicked me so hard last night. My butt was bruised badly. I woke up early and made breakfast for Cassie. She was sleeping like a kid and I just looked at her as the sun shined on her face. I quickly prepared our breakfast and then went to take a shower. I walked towards her bedside and slowly kissed her cheek. ”Morning love” I whispered in her ears as she slowly opened her eyes. “Morning” she said as she stretched her arms and then hugged me. “Did you sleep well babe?” she looked at me still with her arms around my neck. “Yeah, the best sleep I had after coming from Japan” she said as she looked deep into my eyes. She couldn’t have a good sleep just because of me.
I lowered my eyes. I couldn’t face her. I couldn’t look straight into her eyes. She cupped my cheeks and made me look at her. “All that happened is in past now. Forget all that and start over” she
~Liam’s POV~It was almost midnight when I was finally through my work at office. ‘She would me so mad at me’ I said in my mind as I headed for the parking lot outside. “Sup? Going for Cassie?” I turned and saw Steve leaning on his car. “Let’s go together. I was going to make up to Ellie and I know both of our girls are mad at us, so let’s just go and set things right tonight” he winked at me as cleared my throat. “Okay, let’s go” I drove in my car and he followed in his own as we headed towards Steve’s mansion where Ellie and Cassie were staying. “Welcome Mr. Manifold and Mr. Lautner” the butler wished us as we both nodded. “Cassie! Come down, it’s getting late we have to head back!” I called out. “Ellie! I know I am late and I am ready to make it up to you tonight. We can watch your favorite movie and eat ice cream and have some snacks” Steve called his gi
~Steve’s POV~She was mumbling some stuff but I didn’t concentrate on that and just carried her to our bedroom. Suddenly she clutched my collar. “I won’t leave you tonight. I will make you pay for what you do every night to me. You leave me here alone and come at midnights when I am already asleep” she said as she leaned dangerously close to me. I was in a daze and I made her stand on her feet. She was still holding onto my collar. “You know?” she asked me. “Hmm?” I hummed as I was kind of enjoying what she was doing. “I love you” she said and kissed my lips for nanoseconds. Eye raised my eyebrow at her. “What was that?” she looked at me like she wanted to reverse all that happened and delete my memories.She tried to get off but I pulled her close and captured her lips into a slow yet passionate kiss. She moaned in between our kiss as I pinched her waist. And that way I got a c
~Cassie’s POV~I was smiling from ear to ear looking at the positive test in my hand. I broke into tears and held the test tight in my hand. ‘I was going be a mom.’ I wanted to tell Liam. I wanted to see his reaction and wanted to hug him tight but then my face went pale as remembered what Liam said. ‘What if he snatched my child from me? Or worse, what if he asked me to abort it?’ no, I can’t let that happen. I gathered up my courage and dialed a number on my phone. “Hello?” “Sup sister-in-law? Are you okay? Or are you having a hell of a hangover?” I called Steve. “Steve I want to tell you something” he was silent as he seemed to notice that I had been crying.“What is it Cassie?” I heard his serious tone for the first time because he has always been a sweetheart. “I-I am P-pregnant” I finally said it. I heard him sigh. “That’s-that’s a
~Cassie’s POV~I woke up early because I couldn’t sleep all night. I so wanted to kill myself I almost spilled the truth in front of Liam. He woke up right after. “Cassie? Why are you up so early?” I turned to look at him. He just woke up. Am I really running away from this man? Can I really do that? Maybe he isn’t that bad but I can’t risk my child by thinking stuff that isn’t going to happen. “I just felt like waking up early.” I said and starting making our breakfast. “It’s still early, you should sleep more.” I shook my head in no and told him I am not sleepy.He went back upstairs and came down after taking shower and changed in his suit and was ready for his office. It was 8:00 when I served him breakfast. He came towards me and gave me a peck on my forehead. “I’ll come early today and then we’ll go for dinner.” Suddenly my eyes become teary and I looked
~Liam’s POV~“Boss, we searched everywhere but there was no sign of her. We are still trying to find h-e…” he was going to continue saying he couldn’t do the job that was assigned to him, which he says every day. So before he could say that I hung up on him. I was drowned in alcohol; that’s what I do every night. I miss her so much but she just leaves me here with thousands of questions in my mind. I tried to call her thinking maybe she would pick up my call but no she fcking changed her number. I stood up and tidied myself and I walked out of the study room and walked inside my room with a picture of Cassie in my hand.**5 Months Flashback Ends here**~Cassie’s POV~“Suzie, I can’t find my phone.” ugh! This girl is always misplacing my stuff. I wish I could run behind her and catch her so I could beat the hell out of her. “Suzie! Come here!” I was shouting as a man possessed. &ldquo
~Steve’s POV~ It’s been 5 months since Cassie left. Liam, well, he is miserable and has become a lunatic after he found out that she ran away. Till date he has been trying to find her like a madman and trust me, I’m myself kind of scared of him now. He is unpredictable. Sometimes he would be happy that she left so now he has a reason to punish her and sometimes he acts like a psychotic killer who wants to die or kill for her. I don’t understand his state and so I and Ellie decided to take him to a psychiatrist. “You think I’m going mad! So be it, yes I’m mad and no matter when or how, I’m going to find her and make her pay for what she did to me, for what her dumbass mafia father did to my parents and my childhood. Wait till I get my hands on her.” He was yelling at me like a man possessed. I tried to tell him how important it was for him to go to a psychiatrist. But no, he was drowned into his own world of self-torture and madness of punishing h
~Chris’s POV~ I was angry at Liam but I took it all out in front Cassie. I told her things I shouldn’t have said. I told her everything Steve told me except the part that Liam was suffering through SPD and the doctors asked Steve to bring Cassie back. No, I won’t let Cassie go to that ruthless monster again. She suffered a lot and that’s enough. “Sister, don’t be upset. He wasn’t the right guy for you and so you should stop thinking about him and you should move on.” I tried to console her and patted her on her shoulder. Suzie was out for some work and so I stayed with Cassie at home. I was working on my laptop when I heard the bells ring. I went to check the door thinking it might be Suzie. As soon as I opened the door a hard punch landed on my face making me groan in pain. A metallic taste came to my mouth as I knew my mouth was bleeding. I tried to look at the person who hit and my face went pale as soon as I saw who he was. “WHERE IS MY WIFE? Tell
~Chris’s POV~He was furious as hell. I was really scared. What if they started searching the house? Cassie must be in her room. Oh God, help me save my sister. “Bob, go and search the whole house and tell me if you see her.” Liam ordered his men and they roamed around the house like robots. I am sorry Cassie I couldn’t save you from this tyrant. After almost 10 minutes his man gathered again “boss we couldn’t find her here. There was no sign of her but there were clothes of a woman same age as Mrs. Lautner hanging in the closet.” He said and Liam looked at me with bloodshot eyes. “Those are Suzie’s clothes, Cassie’s twin and my sister.” He started massaging his temples in stress and then left the house with his men following him.I breathed a sigh of relief and made sure they were gone. I called my men and told them to search the house if they have hidden any secret cameras by any chance.
~Liam’s POV~I pushed the doors to our room with my lips never leaving her’. She pressed onto my chest indicating for me to stop. “What’s up?” I asked, cupping her cheeks. She shook her head. “Nothing but I just realized that neither I nor you ever said it in the form of words but if we are about to do this so we better say it before.” I knew what she was about to say and I waited for her. “I love you, Liam.” She said making eye contact with me. “I love you too, Cassie.” And with that being said I kissed her and gently pushed her towards the bed.I took my shirt off and I saw Cassie unbuttoning her shirt. I stopped her and did it myself instead. I dug into her neck tasting every inch of it and leaving feathery kisses on it. She moaned and I loved that I had this kind of effect on her even though we spent years hating each other. I made love to her and I must say that I’ve missed her. She’s the mother of my children yet I never touched her or made her feel this way as I am doing rig
~Liam’s POV~What was she doing in a bar? She never drank, I mean as far as I know. She likes to stay out of this kind of addiction. So I sped through the roads and finally, I arrived at the bar. I entered the bar and saw Cassie making weird noises and as soon as she saw me she ran towards me and crossed her legs over my hips giving me a strange and weird hug. I held her tight and asked the bartender to open the door for me. I made her sit on the passenger’s seat andmoved back to the driver’s seat. I started the car and drove towards our mansion. She wascontinuously mumbling something under her breath that was out of my understanding league so I ignored it. We reached our mansion and I parked the car. When I looked at her she had opened the buttons of her shirt giving me a clear view of her black bra.“Cassie, what are you doing? Kids are inside and I don’t want them to see their mother half naked.”She just pouted and made an innocent face. I took her inside and she was doing somet
~Chris’s POV~“What did he say on phone? Tell me Chris, please.” She was continuously asking me about Liam’s phone call. What should I say to her; that her husband wants a divorce? Nah I’m not telling her that. I don’t want to hurt her feelings instead I want to know Arnold’s planning about that clip. What does he wants to do? Is he planning on separating Liam and Cassie and then marrying Cassie afterwards? God knows better what’s up on this man’s mind. “Cassie, he was asking about you and that how are you feeling now. I told him you are good and he asked me to take you to your own home instead, with me.” I lied to her.“My home is that of Liam’s. I am not going with you. I’ve already been away from him for a long time. I want to spent time with him and my babies. Why is he trying to neglect me all of a sudden? Is he trying to take my children away from me? I always though
~Liam’s POV~ “I never knew that Noah was a psychotic killer and how can you think that I was one of them. Do you really think that low of me? Aiden we’ve been friends for years and you thought that I would just hand you over to those who are hell bent on killing you because you knew their secret. You could’ve told us. We would’ve done something about it.” I wanted to know how he ended up like this. “I don’t care about old times now; all I care about is taking what’s mine.” I glared at him. “Cassie is mine and I won’t let you take her from me.” I said and punched him. He took a few steps back and wiped the blood off his lips. He strode towards me and punched me right across in the face. Holy cow! That hurts. My nose was bleeding but I just took my gun out and pointed it towards Arnold. I thought we’d be friends but he wants to be my rival, so be it then. “Think Liam, think. You haven’t heard from your wife for a couple of years now. You really don’t have an idea what
~Liam’s POV~“You left me and Steve at the first place without bothering telling us. Care to explain why?” he was at fault not us. “Do you even know what you so-called fellow mates did to me in the woods?” I have no idea because it was just a prank nothing more than that. “I have no idea because I wasn’t there at the time being.” I reasoned. “No one knows better than you much I’m scared of darkness and being consumed by it.” What he is talking about? “That night……”**Flashback of that night 16 years ago**~Arnold/Aiden’s POV~“Why did you ask Liam to leave? I want to go home leave me.” I screamed at the top of my lungs with all my strength but they just laughed at my grim fate. “This is what awaits for those who try to let the appalling cat out of its bag. Now that you know our little secret how can we let you go?
~Cassie’s POV~Arnold’s maids dragged me towards the stage where he stood with a atrocious sneer on his face. He clenched my hands tightly making them numb. He came closer to me and sniffed. Eww, why’d he sniff me like a dog does to his bone before licking it. “You smell so good.” He said almost moaning it. “How can you marry someone who has already been with someone?” I emphasized the word ‘someone’ indicating to Liam. “I don’t understand.”I let out a small mocking laugh. “You didn’t really notice, did you? I’m mother of two kids and of course they didn’t come to me from the sky.” He laughed. “I know he didn’t pleasure you well. I intend to do so and I’d make sure of it.” How can he say that to me? “He pleasured me like no one else and I don’t think you have that feral side to make me feel that way. Believe it o
~Liam’s POV~He didn’t even think about Cassie and signed her entire life just for some stupid property. Thank God her father is dead or else I’d have killed him by now. Gabriel told us the location of his mansion and penthouse both where Arnold would be most probably. We first went to his house but there was no one in there. Then we headed towards the penthouse. It was a 110th story penthouse.Why the fck did he built such a high building. We walked towards the gate and saw 4 men guarding it. “Is it really necessary?” I looked at Chris.“Come on! Act like a mafia’s son.” He gave me a ‘are you serious?’ look. “Okay, act like your mafia brother-in-law then.” I said and smiled as he smirked and we both loaded our guns. “It’s a restricted area; you can’t enter the penthouse because it a private pro-per…” I shot him before he could continu
~Cassie’s POV~“You roar and so you must bite too” that man joked and laughed in an atrocious way. “Untie her and get her ready for the wedding ceremony because I want to make her mine as soon as possible.” He said and walked out of the door.His men untied me and took me to a room. It was a big room and then three maids came in. “Master told us to get you ready for the wedding ceremony. Do you want to take a bath yourself or you want our help.” The maid asked in terror. “Look, don’t be scared of me, they are forcing me into this marriage; I’m already married and I have two five year old twins. I am happy with my life and your master whoever he is; just tell him that I don’t want to get married.”I pleaded to them and tried to lure them so they could help me run away but they were stubborn. “Madam we don’t want to die at the hands of Master. We also have
~Liam’s POV~My men were on guard and so they were already out handling the situation. I walked out and saw that the men who attacked us looked like some gangster kind of people. “STOP!” I shouted making everyone stunned and stop at their tracks. “Who are you and what do you want?” the men gathered up. “You have offended our master and now our master wants your wife, Cassie” The stout man said making me boil in anger. “Just take her name once again and I’d make sure you meet Lucifer in hell.” I said and shot him in between his eyes. He soon was covered in his own blood.“You are doing mistake boy. Have forgot that your wife and children are still in there and what if I tell you that we’ve activated bombs in your house.” I glared at him. “I offended you. Why are bringing Cassie and my children in all this.” he wickedly smiled showing his awful teeth. “Our
