Sweat beads rolled in his face down to his almost bare chest as he increased his speed on the treadmill. After what seemed like ten minutes, Liam stopped wiping his face clear. He felt hands touch him from behind making his skin stiffen at the sudden intrusion.

“Babe, if you're done, how about I help you relax, we haven't spent time together alone, I miss you,” Isabelle whispered into his ear trailing kisses on his shoulder region.

Liam closed his eyes tightly, trying to control what he felt as he turned around to face her.

“Isabelle it's been years can't you get the memo? I don't want to be with you,” Liam said, gritting his teeth in anger at Isabelle's persistent nature.

After they got married, Isabelle had been clingy and if it were not for that drunken wedding night, Liam would never have touched her.

“How can you say that, Li?” Isabelle asked, not knowing she had just poked her finger into a lion's nose.

“What did you just call me?” Liam asked, his every word filled with anger.

    Liam looked at the two women before him as he gulped down a glass of water in an attempt to bring himself back to reality.“What's happening here Isabelle? How is Stella here and alive?” Liam asked for the fourth time as the two women looked at him as if he were performing theatrics.“Well, Li it's really me, I survived, and I've been trying to locate you through Isabelle, but she always said you disappeared after the accident,” Stella said, but even a blind man could sense the devious intentions under her words.Isabelle held Liam's hands, he couldn't allow the situation to overturn and put her in the spotlight. “That's not true Liam, she knew all along you were my husband, I met her accidentally and trust me, I was shocked as you are,” Isabelle said, trying to divert the blame from her.Liam looked at the exchange between the two women, feeling disgusted at how much they struggled to blame each other.“Li I didn't…” Stella started, but Liam couldn't bear to listen to any more lies

    At the apartment, Kyla confirmed yet again if the documents were intact and in order. She had an important deal to sign with the prominent company that was offering her company a contract.She needed to look presentable and alluring to ensure everything went on smoothly. “Baby, I have to leave for work, be good at school okay? And don't give Susan a hard time,” Kyla said to the boy, who nodded with a spoonful of cereal in his mouth.“Susan if you need anything, just call me okay?” Kyla said, bidding them goodbye. “Mommy, you promised to take me to your workplace today,” Dylan, who appeared to have swallowed his food in a hurry, whined, making Kyla smile.“Susan will bring you over after school okay, mommy will be busy for the morning hours, is that okay?” Kyla explained, noticing how happy he looked.“Okay mommy, bye,” Dylan agreed, throwing his hands up in joy.As Kyla drove out of the compound, she felt stupid for feeling anxious about the essential meeting she had prepared for, f

    Amber felt her breath hitch at seeing her brother at the entrance. She felt her heart beat faster as she watched her fears come into reality.“Li? Justus?” Amber called out as she froze on one spot. “What are you doing here?” Liam asked, still contemplating whether to hug her or just stay glued to his spot. The joy of seeing his sister again was unexplainable.“Amber? How are you doing?” Justus asked mentally laughing at his confused behavior. Seeing her again was like a dream come true. Who would have thought that they would meet at the company.Liam set aside his son as he hugged his sister who was still speechless with a woman behind her who looked at them in confusion.The presentation turned into a reunion meeting as Amber couldn't keep her heart hard.“How are you here, Amber? Where's Kyla?” Liam asked, looking at Amber who held Dean in her arms.“Li, you know I can't talk about that, but I'm sure she's fine wherever she is,” Amber responded, evading his question as she prayed

    Kyla froze with the boy in her hands, not sure how to react. She lifted her gaze, locking it with the man she never knew she would see again.“Hey, champ, how was school?” Kyla asked as she shifted her attention to her son.“It was good Mommy, I missed you so much,” Dylan said as he stretched his hands wide to show just how much he missed her.Liam watched the mother and son bond, feeling a lump form at his throat. How much had he missed while he focused on an ungrateful woman who did nothing else but lie?“Mommy, will you take me to have ice cream?” Dylan asked as his eyes sparkled in excitement.“I will but first go find your nanny Susan, I need to have a word with this gentleman,” Kyla said, not sure her son understood her words as she set him down.“My dad?” Dylan asked, looking at Liam who fought hard to find his smirk. It was surprising how the boy insisted on calling him dad. It gave him a sense of pride and joy.Kyla, on the other hand, felt her breath choke at her throat. “D

    Liam walked into the office as he looked at his sister with questions crossing through his mind. Just how much didn't he know?“I asked a question, Kyla? How much have you been keeping from me?” Liam insisted, looking at her in an entirely new angle. “That's none of your business, Liam! Just stay out of my life, the only thing connecting us now is this contract,” Kyla responded, feeling anger spike in her.Liam walked closer to her, his height making him look domineering. “See that's where you're wrong Kyla, Dylan is my son, and I'll not let you keep me away from him,” he said sternly.Kyla closed her eyes, not sure how to argue with that. Dylan looked like his father from head to toe, how could she deny him being his son?“And so what, Liam? Don't you already have a family to look after?” Kyla asked as she felt her blood boil at his words.“Even though that's the case, Dylan is mine Kyla, you cannot take that from me,” Liam warned, feeling his anger get to the better part of him.Ky

    Her heart beat fast in anticipation with every step she took towards her house. She had just gotten a call that had news that made her day feel renewed. It was oddly silent as Kyla approached her house, being a weekend she expected the usual chatter of her son in the house. As she pushed the slightly opened door she heard deep laughter come from her son's playroom. Who would have invaded her house without her permission?She silently tiptoed to the room, slightly pushing the door only to be met by her son's wide smile as he flew in the air courtesy of Liam.“Hey mommy, look, I'm flying,” Dylan shouted excitedly as soon as he saw his mother. Kyla's eyes were, however, fixed on the man who stared back at her as if he owned the place. It had been days since the phone conversation where Liam didn't bother her again.“What are you doing here, Liam?” Kyla asked, surprised at how the two even became that close.“Mommy, uncle Liam picked me up from school today with Aunt Amber, he even brou

    Her hands trembled as she looked at the little boy who lay helpless on the cold floor. What had she done now? Kyla felt someone shake her off the position making her gasp in shock. She quickly collected her mind only to find Liam's eyes on her full of disbelief mirroring her guilty ones.“Liam I …" Kyla stuttered not sure what to say at that point.“Not now Kyla, what did you feed him?” Liam asked, looking at the packet of cereal on the table quickly before he realized just what had gone wrong.“He's allergic to peanuts, I need to take him to the hospital,” Liam said, heading out with the boy in his hands.“Amber look after Dylan, I'll drive Liam to the hospital,” Kyla said, gathering herself from her disoriented state. As Liam settled the boy in the car, he lifted his gaze only to meet Kyla, who was already in the driver's seat.“I'm driving you to the hospital Liam, you don't know around, and I feel respon...”“Then drive fast,” Liam's cold voice came cutting her off.

    At the door stood the nurse holding a tray of medications in her hand, while the little girl clung to his hand tightly.“I don't want to take those things,” She said, her mouth against Liam's shirt making her voice come out muffled.The nurse smiled, walking towards them. “Sweetie, it's just one medication, so you'll be able to go home soon,” the nurse said, trying to convince her.“Mr. Liam help me, I can't take it, it makes me feel sleepy,” Diana cried out, her eyes becoming watery. Liam felt his heart twist at her horror, not knowing what to do he held her cheeks gently. “How about this princess, I'll help you take it, okay?” Liam offered, watching the girl's eyes grow wide.“Really? Will you take one too?” She asked, her eyes lighting up. “Yes, I will,” Liam confirmed, smiling at her. “But you're not sick? Nurse won't that be bad for him? My Mommy said only sick people take medicine,” Diana argued back, her face full of confusion.Liam chuckled lightly, “how about you take one

    The cool evening breeze of Miami Beach hit her barely covered skin. It had been a long night of after-party and bidding goodbye as they prepared to travel. Kyla stirred in bed, her eyes opening slightly as a smile graced her lips. She couldn't help but feel her heart reap in joy as she remembered the previous event of her wedding. If she thought it would be good, then she was mistaken, everything exceeded her expectations. It was nothing short of pure Bliss and exceptional. Kyla straightened her arm, only for it to fall on the cold empty spot of her husband's side. They lay all night, tossing and turning in the sheets. Making love through the remaining hours of the night, through their tiredness, until all Kyla could remember was her passing out. She sat up looking at the open window which ushered in the cool breeze from the sea. She hadn't had time to enjoy the beach, as they arrived during the night. Setting her bare feet to the cold floor, she shivered as she walked to the bath

    “Hurry or we're going to be late,” Amber almost screamed at her husband who was struggling to keep his tie straight.“Hunnie, can't you see I'm trying to keep this damn thing straight!” Justus replied in his defense, his tone full of annoyance, but Amber laughed at him in return.Justus huffed out loud giving up on his quest making him shrug his shoulders in defeat. A loud cry resonated in the room making Amber close her eyes tightly. Any other day would be okay to hear the pleasant sounds of baby Kendra, but today was just not the day.Justus muffled his chuckle, but Amber didn't miss it, making her throw him a look angrily.“You're enjoying this, right?” Amber asked, looking at him sharply.“Hunnie, I'm not enjoying anything but my little princess seems to be feeling worse than me,” Justus teased, raising his brow at her.It's been four months since Amber delivered a bouncing baby girl. She could never forget that day for anything, from the grand hall to the last bit of her deliver

    Kyla tapped on the accept button, hating that she couldn't get rid of the foul feeling that stuck to her stomach. “Hello, Jus, what's up?” Kyla asked, her eyes brows knitted together in confusion.“Kyla, it's Liam, he's in trouble, the meeting went sideways, please come to the address I'll send you,” Justus said, getting straight to the point, panic evident in his voice.Kyla felt her body tremble and feel weak at the same time. Her legs failing to support her, making her buckle, almost sending her to the ground. She glanced at the phone, which appeared to have been disconnected.“What! Amber, I have to go, Liam's in trouble!” Kyla said in panic as she headed out, Amber hot on her heel as she struggled to catch up.“What happened? Wait for me, Kyla,” Amber said behind her, making Kyla slow down to help her down.They boarded the car quickly to the location sent, Kyla tapped her fingers on her thigh restlessly.

    The party slowed down as nightfall neared everyone in the rush to get back to their places or other things.Kyla spotted Amber and Justus on one corner, already inseparable after their blissful moment. Kyla felt hands engulf her waist from behind. The familiar tingles telling her who it was before she could even see his face. “Why do you look jealous of Amber and Justus, Love?” Liam asked, whispering into her ears.“I just feel happy for them, at least Amber had her husband all evening unlike me,” Kyla said hinting on how busy he had been all evening.“Love, you know I love you right, I can't promise I'll spend the night with you, I have a meeting that was just set up impromptu,” Liam said making Kyla feel her heart dampen. She turned slowly, looking at him for any signs of teasing but found none.“Babe, are you seriously telling me, you'll be occupied tonight? What time will you be back?” Kyla asked, pouting as she looked at him.“I don't know for sure, but Justus will be accompany

    “Surprise!” Many voices shouted at once making Kyla and Liam halt suddenly in shock. Kyla was aware of what was happening, but she didn't expect something this grand would be done within a short time. Liam looked around, feeling his legs get weak at the beautiful scenery of what was once in ashes. As the lights came on Liam chuckled on seeing his family already present. It appeared everyone was aware except him, the burner with his late dad's name moved him to tears.‘IN LOVING MEMORY OF DANIEL STORM: HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE ON’Clapping came from every corner of the cheerful hall. “Babe, I hope you like it,” Kyla muttered beside her husband, throwing her dad a knowing look.Liam turned around hugging Kyla tightly before holding her at an arm's length and placing a kiss on her forehead.“I love it, thanks love, I love you so much,” Liam said, looking around, his eyes full of admiration.Kyla smiled broadly as she hugged him tightly, her heart beating fast in gratitude.

    Liam sat up carefully looking at them, concern swimming in his eyes.“What is it champ?” Liam asked worriedly as Kyla sat on the bed next to him. It was unsure for Dean or the twins to wake up crying in the middle of the night for nothing.Dean, overwhelmed by whatever he was going through, cried even harder as Kyla hugged him comfortingly. Kyla placed her hand on his forehead to check if he was hot or sick, but everything appeared fine.“Tell us what's wrong baby, did you have a nightmare?” Kyla said, feeling her heart twist at seeing him like that.Dean nodded fresh tears brimming in his eyes. “Mommy, is being dead a bad thing?” Dean asked, looking at his mother curiously, his glassy eyes filled with tears. Kyla and Liam looked at each other both in surprise and confusion. “Why would you ask that, champ? Where did you hear the word from?” Liam asked, worry evident in his voice. No parent would imagine their child asking them about death. “I heard uncle saying that my parents are

    Feeling tense and uncertain Kyla retired to her room as soon as dinner was over. She hasn't stopped contemplating on how to tell Liam about their unborn baby. She paced around the room picking her on her nails nervously. Lost in thought, she jumped slightly at the feel of familiar hands around her waist. “What's up love, what are you thinking about?” Liam asked, placing his head between her neck and shoulder.Kyla felt her stomach muscles tense at the thought that Liam could feel she was expectant. “Love, if this is about what the kids said…”“There'ssomethingihavebeenkeepingfromyou,” Kyla said so fast that she had to catch her breath. If Liam wasn't keen to listen he wouldn't have grasped anything she said.“What? I didn't get you,” Liam said, standing before her, his gaze fixed on her. Kyla fixated her eyes on his chest, unable to maintain eye contact. She didn't know how to say the words out slowly, they could seem like just two words, but she couldn't understand why it was so

    She huffed out loudly trying to get the fatigue that hang on her like a branch. Being in the hospital for days hadn't done her any good. Liam sat next to her driving her home, from the look on his cringed forehead one could tell he looked tired. Kyla looked at him intensely making his eyes brows knit before smiling slightly.“What is love, out with it,” he asked his eyes still fixed on the road, but he couldn't miss the flushed look on Kyla's face.“What? What are you talking about?” Kyla asked biting back the smile that spread on her lips uncontrollably.“You've been staring at me for minutes love, is there something you want to say?” Liam insisted, throwing her a side glance with his eyebrow raised before focusing back on the road. He could have sworn he felt the way her gaze boreholes on his face. She appeared lost in thought for quite some time.“Well, it's nothing babe, I was just thinking of how amazing you are,” Kyla answered, hiding the blush that graced her cheeks.“Mmm ama

    Kyla cracked her eyes open slightly, furrowing her brows from the bright white light in the room. It took her a while to process what was happening. Her dad! “Dad?” Kyla muttered, but her voice came out croaky and strained. She tried calling, but no sound came out this time, her throat feeling as if someone had dragged bags of sand through it. Kyla couldn't push the image of seeing her dad lying on the floor bleeding. She had to go see him no matter what. He had to have survived for the sake of her sanity. Something heavy on her bed side made her freeze as she tried to sit up. Kyla popped her head letting her eyes search for whatever it was that was restricting her movement. Her eyes rested on Liam who appeared to have fallen asleep with his brows knitted in worry. Kyla stirred trying to stay in a comfortable position as she watched him carefully. He had really gone through a lot in the past few days. She couldn't trade him for anything in the world. Liam could have sworn h
