Kyla felt her heart beat violently as she approached the front door of the mansion. She prayed silently that Susan was wrong, and it wasn't what she explained. Liam followed him silently, watching as age hesitated at the door.“Kyla, are you going to tell me what happened? You had me driving here like a maniac?” Liam complained, finding it did that she didn't want to say anything.Kyla pushed the door, ignoring Liam, who stood steps away from her. She felt her bottom lip shake as she saw her ex-husband sitting on her couch talking to the kids.“Ooh Mommy's here, hello hunnie,” Blake greeted, his face covered with a smile.“What are you doing here, Blake?” Kyla asked, her eyes wide with shock. She hadn't seen him in all those years, she didn't understand what he was doing in her house.Meanwhile, behind her, Liam felt anger surge inside him as he looked at the man who once mistreated Kyla. He thought his ears were playing tricks on him when he heard him call her hunny.“Love, what is t
Days turned into a week and still no word from Amber. Since the day of the phone call, she appeared to have ghosted her. The project was halfway done, making Kyla feel fear grip her heart. The closer they got to completing the project, the nearest their day of leaving came. She hadn't heard from Liam for a week as he said he would go for a business trip. Kyla looked at the twins playing outside, making her smile, feeling content. They had been talking to their father more, and they appeared to have become more vibrant. Kyla was yet to accept the new turn of events in her life. She didn't know what to do with Liam, but she thought she would talk to him once he came to visit the twins. Her heart beat with anticipation as she thought of seeing him again. She noticed she was never in control around him, it was like he was her weakness. “Ma'am this came in for you,” Susan called, handing her a letter, making her knit her brows confused. Not many people knew her address, but it appeare
Liam felt his whole system feel like it was shutting down as Dr. Liz stood there speechless. “Dr. Liz? You sent doctor Ben, right?” Liam repeated his question, feeling his mind freeze.“No, I haven't sent anyone, what are you even talking about? Where's my niece?” Dr. Liz asked, looking at him suspiciously. She never liked him and to find him talking nonsense, well, it didn't help his case.Liam stood the twins in his hands, turning to the staircase.“If you didn't send anyone, then who did I leave my Kyla with?” Liam asked, feeling confused, but soon his mind remembered the letter, making his face dawn with realization.“Susan, take the kids, I'll go check on Kyla!” Liam said, handing the twins to Susan as he almost tripped running upstairs.Dr. Liz followed quickly behind, confused at what was going on. The atmosphere in the mansion changed to deafening silence and pure fear.Liam felt his hands grow weak as he clicked the door open to see a convulsing Kyla on the bed alone. Foam co
She pushed the door gently as she pushed the door to the master bedroom. The muffled moans drew her in, making her heart twist painfully with every breath she took. On opening the door, Kyla closed her eyes, not ready to reveal what awaited her.It was as if her mind were refusing to imagine or even see the person she loved and trusted most in that bed with another woman.The moans increased as if didn't notice her presence, making her bite her lip to prevent a whimper from escaping.Summoning up some courage, she opened her eyes gently only to see her nightmare come into life. There he was, Liam laying naked holding a woman she knew too well who was riding him like a deranged horse.“Liam,” she called, her voice cracking just enough to push out his name. Her eyes stung with heavy tears as she thought of how unfortunate she was.Why was it that all the men she loved did that to her? Was she not good enough? Her heart stung as Liam's eyes connected with hers. What broke her completely
Liam heard his phone notify him of a text message, seeing it was from Amber. As he read it through, he couldn't understand what his father was doing at the mansion. He gave Kyla one last glance before turning to his vibrating phone.It was Justus calling, making him wonder what might have been a miss in the office. “Love, I'll be back soon,” Liam said, kissing Kyla's forehead gently before rushing out of the door.“Jus, what's up?” Liam said, receiving the call. “I have to tell you something but promise you won't get angry,” Justus said, his voice tense and hesitant.“Man I don't have time for jokes right now, can you imagine dad is at the mansion? Heading there now,” Liam responded, going to the parking lot.“Urm that's why I called, he kind of forced me to tell him everything, you know how your father is, once he wants to know something he goes for it, he threatened to…” Justus explained trying to compose his statements correctly.“What! Jus are you mad? How can you tell him ever
Liam cursed mentally as he remembered he had left his car keys in the study room. He was so angry at hearing his father defend that woman that he forgot.As he clicked the door open, his ears almost became deaf from a piercing scream that was unmistakably Diana's.“Baby, what's wrong?” Liam dashed next to her, asking worriedly, inspecting her for any injury. Finding none, he followed her eye line which settled on his father lying on the floor motionless.“Oh god, dad?” Liam called, trying to tap him gently at the same time holding his daughter comfortingly.“Li, what's happening here, I heard screa...” Amber's voice stopped mid-way as she saw everything clear as daylight before her.Amber froze to the spot, not sure what to do. “Amber take Diana upstairs I'll get dad to the car,” Liam instructed trying to hold himself together.Amber nodded, pulling the hesitant little girl whose eyes were filled with fear.“Come baby, don't be scared grandpa's just sleeping okay,” Amber comforted, hu
Kyla's face was covered in astonishment at the newly found authority in his voice. She tried hard to suppress her rising anger at his sudden rudeness and coldness. Did he think he had the right to just order her around like he owned her? Kyla scoffed loudly at Liam's one-sided decision. “And you think I'll just follow you blindly?” She asked scornfully.Liam looked at her, his face cold and emotionless. “Yes you will Kyla, and you know why? Because you're my legal wife and if you try anything stupid like running away, you'll go on your own and leave the kids to me!” He threatened no sign of joking in his words.Kyla felt her eyes sting as tears threatened to pour out at Liam's coldness. Liam didn't miss the look of hurt that possessed her face, but if he had to turn into that to keep her face, then he would. Almost losing her last time made him know just the amount of risk she was facing.“Liam, you're heartless, and you can't force me, I'll fight you with everything I have!” Kyla fi
Liam knocked gently on the door before pushing it open. He gritted his teeth as he found Isabelle sitting on his father's bed to top it making his father smile.“Son, come here, Isabelle just told me of expansion in California with Mr. Vane,” Daniel announced, pride filled in his eyes.Liam scoffed audibly at his father's statement, he knew exactly what he wanted to imply.“That's good dad, it's just business, why are you so excited?” Liam dismissed, making Isabelle's smile dissipate.“Son, you should be grateful to your wife here, she's always looking out for you,” Daniel said, displeased at his son's ungratefulness.“Dad, don't push him too much, I'm sure he's tired of handling so many things at the same time,” Isabelle interjected, smiling at Liam which he didn't bother returning.“You see, son, this is the type of woman you keep, not that…” Daniel tried to point out, but Liam couldn't have it.“I just came to see how you're doing, but considering you have the time to talk rudely o
