“What?” she barely whispered, lost in thought. Liam glared at her as he saw how dazed she was. His suspicion was proving to be true, it wasn't even a suspicion anymore, he had proof. His anger began to come back in waves as time passed between them. Olivia had been quiet, but he could see her pulse quicken by the twitch in her neck. Outraged at her evasiveness, he snapped “Fuck Olivia! Answer me” his voice thundered at her. Olivia whipped her head at him as soon as she heard him yell. She was frightened at first because she wasn't sure how he would react to her answer. She was so flabbergasted that her brain was muddled up. How could he have known? But yelling at her had her head sparkling. Yes it was his child and she didn't tell him, so? He didn't have the right to yell at her. No one had the right to snap at her, she hated it. “Liam, don't yell at me” She threatened, her voice low but dripping with anger. “I damn right will, Olivia. Is the baby mine?” he snapped, furr
Olivia felt really stupid at being caught. She knew they shouldn't have been alone together at all. It had always been a bad idea, now she was about to make headlines the next day, with her dignity not intact.She dragged up her dress to hide her underwear from the intruder's sight, even though Liam was standing protectively in front of her to hide her from his view.She wasn't about to tell him thank you after he had seduced her into what they had just done. She felt weak, she hated how vulnerable she was to his charms.After zipping up her dress, and trying to straighten her messed up hair fruitlessly, she gave up, peering up behind Liam's shoulder to take a proper look at the nefarious man who could be so cruel to take such vile pictures of them.The man had on an evil smirk, his feet glued to the floor, his eyes unyielding with a challenging glint beneath it. Olivia heard Liam's growl rumble through his chest, she hoped he would put his werewolves abilities to good use this time,
“hello ma'am” Olivia turned around.Her blood froze in her veins when she saw the source of the voice. Her body–having a mind of its own–paralyzed in fear. She hadn't seen those eyes in over twenty years, she was petrified. Her heart beat accelerated, her body shook with suffocating fear, her mind was in disarray, her emotions weren't left behind.She thought she had forgotten about him and the rest of them. She thought she was over it and had put the past behind her. But now that he was right there in her view, her memory came back with full force.Oh! Those red bloodshot eyes, she could never forget the eyes. How it flamed with thirst for blood, how it ignited while he snapped their head off, she could never forget. Her hands clenched to tune out the images. Anger at what he did to her parents surged through her like an angry wave before a storm.“Hello ma'am,” the man repeated. This time, his lips curled into an evil smirk, a sparkle of devilishness glinting underneath. He knew
“We've been summoned,” Kelvin announced as soon as he walked into Liam's office. It was expected, there had been several human deaths after the death of the mayor.Humans were dropping like flies, the bite mark on their body being the same as the one found on the mayor. Apparently, the canine of the killer was poisonous, causing instant death to its victim with just a bite.Liam still couldn't connect the dot, nor was he able to point out the killer. Whoever it was, was very skilled at getting away with murder, even his advanced sense of smell couldn't sniff out the scent.It was all uncanny, yet very disturbing. He had not been having enough rest since it all started. It started after the annual ball, which Liam thought was too broad to suspect someone. However, the rest of the humans dying had no political position. He could try and take a wild guess on the killer's purpose, he or she wanted to cause an uproar in this seemingly perfect world. And the person had achieved just
“You called me here?” Olivia furrowed her eyebrow in annoyance. She had thought she was going to be reprimanded for her late coming or something else. She never imagined that Liam could be the reason why she was being called up.She should have known. The disciplinary committee weren't at the top floor of the company, the top floor was majorly for the CEO, her tiredness must have blocked her sense of reasoning.“Yes” Liam replied, folding his hands behind his back, exuding arrogance despite being wrong for tricking her like he did. He knew she would not have come if he had called her himself, he needed to see her. It wasn't just because of the killer he was investigating about, it was also because he cared for her, and wanted to see how she was doing. She looked like she saw a ghost in that recording, and now she looked really pale and sick, she didn't look well at all.“Are you ok?” he couldn't help but ask, concern written all over his features. He fought to keep his hands to himse
The wind was blowing violently that evening, its roar whizzing through the air like it had been doing all through the day. Olivia, still in her office wear, rushed into her car, planning to get home before the rain could start.The day had been strenuous, after walking out on Liam in his office she had dived straight into work despite how tired she was. She could not let her work pile up just because she wasn't feeling too well. Olivia started the car, its engine hiccuping like a gasping swimmer, struggling to stay afloat. It was an old vehicle, one Olivia wasn't planning to change any time soon.She drove away from her company carefully, her eyes fixed on the road to avoid an accident. She had always been a careful driver, Henry had once told her that a grandmother would drive faster than she does.Olivia chuckled to herself in amusement as the thought swiped into her head. She was a bad driver and she knew it. But then, her excuse was that her car couldn't go too fast. It w
Olivia was shivering so hard now, her body was shaking conclusively. She tightened her hands around her tummy, while whispering incoherent words to comfort both herself and her baby.She winced at the sound that came next, it was a screeching sound like he was scratching the car with the baton in his hands. If there was a way for her heart to beat faster than it already was, then that was exactly what was happening.It was as if the stalker was hunting a prey. He was trying to scare her as much as he could before doing any other thing. She didn't know what he wanted, all she knew was that she was afraid.Liam was still not available, she wasn't even sure he would be able to get there on time before she gets brutally murdered. He could be somewhere far away for all she knew, she needed to protect herself and her baby with utmost urgency.Then an idea popped into her head, an idea she shouldn't be considering, only she was. The thought of taking it on appeared plausible enough.
Silence saturated the air, no one willing to break it. Olivia was at the passenger seat beside Liam, her hands folded together on her laps, depicting her uneasiness at being in an enclosed space with him after what just happened between them in the rain. His touch still lingered on her body, especially his warm breath on her erect nipple, though her clothes were wet, she still felt hot all over at his electrifying touch. Liam cleared his throat awkwardly, the silence between them deafening, he casted her a glance, and watched from his side eyes how tense she was in his vehicle. His car's engine thrummed steadily down the road, both hands on the wheel while he drove. Realization then dawned on him that he was just driving, he hadn't asked her where he should be driving her to. “Where am I taking you?” His hoarse voice broke the silence between them. Olivia jumped at the sound, it was unexpected. “My bad!” She proceeded to give him the address to Henry's house, she couldn't sta
