LIAM'S POVI walked into the company premises and checked the smart watch on my wrist. I was a few minutes late for the scheduled meeting with my colleagues. I had woken up late and ran into traffic on the way too. I stepped into the elevator and clicked on the top floor button while tapping my fingers on my elbow, waiting patiently for the elevator to stop. The moment the elevator stopped and opened, I got off and quickened my pace to the office. I pushed the office door open, and immediately all eyes fell on me. A few of them held their hands over their lips to keep their giggles out of ears, but I heard them. I had expected them to give this reaction upon seeing my hair, so I wasn't surprised. "You are here quite late, sir." My assistant walked up to me before handing me a blue folder. I stared at the folder as curiosity sparked inside me. We didn't discuss anything earlier, so I wondered what it was. Without wasting much time, I nodded and opened it, scanning through the messa
LIAM'S POV Being Maggie friend, if there was anyone that had been with me in those early days after her death, it was most definitely her.Ariel had been away for a while, but at that moment she stood before me — beautiful and all, we got along really well, all pass marks for a woman that tickedaby boxes. She must had impressed everyone a lot, to the extent that all everyone did was talk about her.“When did you get back?" I had asked.I wont say I was so keen on having her there , even if I agree they shared alot of things in common aside a striking resemblance, I really had a special thing for listening to her opinion and it did counted.She didn't give any answers to what I had said but instead planted a kiss on my chin.“I got back just yesterday." She planted a kiss on my chin. She had been supportive quite alright but safe was smittened by the idea of being a more prospective woman, in ways that I couldn't understand— she was probably the reason I was still unmarried. Well i
SARAH'S POV Standing right there I was confused as I didn't Know what had come over me, why had I decided to do this and approach him in this manner, I clearly wasn't thinking.He was clearly intimidating, for a minute I could have almost laughed heavily about his ruffled pink hair but my heart was weighing too heavily at that moment.“Don't keep me waiting!" He barked out as we both were standing so close that I could perceive his scent, liquor and sweat intermixed.“I just wanted to ask if it is all fine to, you know, talk." "Of course… " he answered.I was surprised that he had said yes, it was one of those spontaneous things he did that left a hint that he was approachable.Still no matter how the situation was at that moment, I still couldn't find my word's.My heart was beating heavily —I was so confused. One moment I had thought all this was going to be easy and all that I had to do was walk up to him. I didn't know what to do at that moment, I didn't know if I was supposed t
SARAH'S POV “Yes, start explaining." He muttered.The fact that I was still trying to fix my heart that felt distant made it harder to comprehend.Like a drifting leaf, I stood there waiting for the dust to settle.Where will I be at the end of all of this?“Answer!" He grunted. As he did , he took a step forward, I had backed away slowly…I raised my eyes to see the towering figure of the as he made way into the room. At first I was startled by his arrival, wondering what had taken him so long to come apologize and he came with this twist.How did he even find the bottle! Still I couldn't take away many brute facts from the back of my head, the more I stood there still waiting, the more I was starting to sense that bit of Unease.Soon as he walked closer, he stoid right where he should be— Right before me, in a very intimidating manner. “i am sorry for doing that to you .” I spoke calmly like any other should.In my situation, Still I felt that heaviness at the back of my mind.It
SARAH'S POV It was hard and absurd trying to recollect anything that had happened over the last six hours.The moment I opened my eyes, what I felt was that sharp pain at the back of my chest that was all narrowed down to my heart that hadn't stopped pacing all through the night. It was difficult to play through my thoughts as I kept wondering why he kept treating me the way he was, the good part of it was the fact that I was starting to get used to it and the bad part?Well, the bad part was —I Scoffed, my thoughts was distracted as my the room swirled round yet it looked the same regardless, at that moment I opened my eyes slightly.“I promise you, I didn't say anything to her." I could hear Abigail's voice. I must have made an awkward movement as the two of them turned toward where I was.“Oh thank goodness you are awake ma'am."Abigail grimaced making way to the bed." What happened?” I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head.“You passed out -” she muttered.I was shocked a
LIAM'S POV I took a sip of my drink, it had this bitter—sweet taste as it was. I was still trying to get my mind through everything that was happening at that moment.The liquor sank to the back of my throat, with all that was happening that moment, the best I could do was just accept all of this, it was to get myself thinking through this matter that appeared to be happening rather unexpectedly.I had asked for some water from the maid and for a change, yet it was strange how far time was starting to creep by slowly. I was about to call the maid to get me something else when the door to my study opened. At first I was startled as I was expecting no one at that moment.It was Sarah. “How are you doing?" I had questioned as she walked In.It had only been two day since we found out everything, since I got to know that she was carrying my child.“We need to speak." She had muttered.It to me that the last thing I Wanted to do was rapport with her. They were invading my thoughts and
LIAM'S POV “Ariel?" If asked I'd say this was most definitely one of those awkward moments, I hadn't seen this woman here since Maddie died and now?I was shocked as words were locked up behind my throat in a lump that was too bitter to swallow.What could I do?That moment, I was more confused than I had ever been, it was difficult to get through that bit of daze at the back of my mind, it left me rather confused.With each passing moment, there was that bit of urge to just get rid of the feeling that was racing through my heart that moment.I needed an answer, why was she here!" Surprised to see me. “She asks.I forced a smile." You didn't tell me that you were coming.”Was I shocked as she had said? Most definitely! At that moment, I was Still right there, shocked at the entire situation, without much to do than just watch with that feeling of anxiety. She was the last person that I was expecting to be right here.For a moment, perhaps two …I had followed the trail of the woman
SARAH'S POV I was confused. I didn't know what I wanted to do. Do I keep the baby or do I not? This question bothered me all day and I couldn't get a simple reply for it. It was driving me crazy. All I could do was pace from one corner of my room to the other and yet answers were not falling from the sky."You just have to take it easy, Ma'am. Pacing from one end to another isn't going to solve anything," Abigail said to me.We were together in the room. "I know it's not going to solve anything, Abigail. But at least I hope it can help me get things off my mind," I replied.I was still in that state of confusion when I heard a knock on my door. I looked at Abigail in surprise."Were you expecting anyone, Ma'am?" She asked me and I shook my head negatively.Then I walked towards the door and opened it to find someone standing outside my door holding something that looked like a package. "Hello Ma'am, this is for you," the person said, handing me the package. I looked from the pers
