Chapter 41: At the edge

Chelsea sat on the edge of the couch, her thoughts jumbled. Liam’s visit lingered in her mind, particularly his piercing gaze and the way he said her name.

“You’ve been pacing for ten minutes,” Reese quipped from the kitchen doorway.

Chelsea turned, startled. “I’m not pacing.”

“Oh, sure,” Reese replied, grinning as she walked in. “You’re just… strategically walking in circles.”

Chelsea sighed and sat down. “What do you want, Reese?”

“I want to know why you haven’t said yes to Liam yet.”

Chelsea groaned. “It’s not that simple.”

Reese sat beside her, an exaggerated sigh escaping her lips. “Girl, it is that simple. The man likes you. You like him. End of story.”

“It’s not a fairytale,” Chelsea muttered, brushing her hands against her jeans.

“Fairytales are overrated,” Reese said with a wink. “But starting over? That’s worth it. Think of this as your clean slate.”

Chelsea frowned, unsure of what to say.

Reese leaned closer, her voice softening. “You deserve to be

    Chapter 42: Secret and motiveChelsea spent the morning immersed in her kitchen duties, her hands working methodically as her mind wandered to the surprise Liam had planned the previous night. She had managed to maintain composure during their outing, but his intentions toward her lingered heavily in her thoughts. Reese had been ecstatic about the evening, teasing Chelsea relentlessly when she returned home, but Chelsea still struggled to interpret Liam’s feelings and her own.By mid-afternoon, the bustling energy in the kitchen was palpable. Staff moved about swiftly, prepping for the week’s events, and Chelsea tried to focus on her responsibilities. She was stirring a sauce when the head chef entered with a phone in hand.“Chelsea,” he called out. “Liam wants to speak with you. It’s urgent.”She quickly wiped her hands and followed him to the staff phone in the corner. Taking a deep breath, she picked it up.“Hello?”“Chelsea,” Liam’s deep voice came through the line, calm but firm.

    Chapter 43: Dinner to remember Dinner at Liam’s mother’s house was a grand affair. The dining room, bathed in warm golden light, was adorned with elegant centerpieces and fine china. Chelsea sat quietly, feeling both out of place and curious. Despite the opulence, there was a warmth in the air, largely thanks to Liam’s mother, whose kind smile eased some of Chelsea’s nerves.As the courses were served, Liam’s mother set down her glass of wine and fixed her gaze on him. “Liam,” she began with a touch of curiosity, “are you and Chelsea seeing each other?”Chelsea’s breath hitched, her heart pounding as she glanced at Liam. He remained calm, meeting his mother’s gaze without flinching.“We’re taking things slowly,” he replied evenly, a small smile playing on his lips.Liam’s mother gave an approving nod, her eyes twinkling. “That’s good to hear. Relationships built on a steady foundation often last the longest.” She turned to Chelsea with a warm smile. “And how are you finding things he

    Chapter 44: Dinner AftermathThe drive back from Liam’s mother’s house was steeped in a contemplative silence. The warmth of the evening still lingered, the golden glow of the sunset casting long shadows across the road. Chelsea stared out of the window, her mind replaying the events of dinner—the way his mother and grandmother had treated her, the subtle undertones of their questions, and most importantly, the quiet strength of Liam’s presence beside her.“Are you alright?” Liam asked, his voice breaking through her thoughts.Chelsea turned to him, offering a small smile. “I’m fine. Just thinking.”He nodded but didn’t press further. She appreciated that about him—his ability to give her space without making her feel abandoned. The rest of the ride passed in a comfortable quiet, each lost in their own thoughts.When Liam pulled up outside her house, he stepped out to open her door, a gesture she’d grown accustomed to but still found endearing.“Thank you for tonight,” she said as she

    Chapter 45: A planned surprise Liam leaned back in his chair, tapping a pen against the polished surface of his desk. The idea had been forming in his mind for days, and now he was ready to set things in motion. He pressed the intercom button and summoned Valerie, his personal assistant.Within minutes, Valerie entered the office, her clipboard in hand, ready to take notes.“You called, sir?” she asked.“Yes, Valerie. I need you to book a reservation at the most exclusive restaurant in town,” Liam said, his tone decisive. “Make sure it’s for tomorrow evening.”Valerie nodded, scribbling on her notepad. “Of course, sir. Anything else?”“Yes,” Liam continued, a faint smirk playing on his lips. “I want you to shop for a very sexy dress—something bold but classy. Include lingerie, a swimsuit, and whatever other girly things you think might complement the outfit. Don’t hold back on the price.”Valerie’s eyebrows shot up slightly, but she maintained her professionalism. “Understood. I’ll h

    Chapter 46: Dawn of a new startThe sterile atmosphere of the hospital hung thick in the air as Adams, Sandra, and his mother waited outside the operating room. The rhythmic tick of the clock on the wall seemed louder with every passing second, amplifying the tension. Sandra sat beside Adams, clutching his hand tightly, while his mother paced back and forth, her expression unreadable but clearly troubled.Suddenly, the sound of approaching heels echoed down the hallway. A well-dressed woman in her early forties, carrying a sleek leather briefcase, walked toward them. Her presence was commanding, her gaze sharp and unwavering."Good evening," she began, her voice professional but tinged with urgency. "I’m Vera Morris, the legal representative of Mr. Maxwell—the patient currently in surgery. I’ve been trying to reach you."Adams stood, his brows furrowing. “You’re my father’s lawyer?”“Yes,” Vera replied, glancing at his mother briefly before turning back to him. “I need to inform you o

    Chapter 47: Morning with blissThe morning sun filtered through the curtains of Chelsea’s bedroom, bathing it in a warm glow. Despite the beauty of the day, her thoughts were anything but serene. She sat on the edge of her bed, her fingers absentmindedly tracing the intricate lace of the red dress Liam had sent. His words from the night before echoed in her mind.“You’ll wear it for me tomorrow.”Chelsea sighed, her emotions a whirlwind. Liam’s gestures were grand and romantic, but they came with a weight she wasn’t sure she was ready to carry. Reese’s words of encouragement had helped ease her doubts, but the fear of getting hurt still lingered.Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at her bedroom door.“Come in,” she called, already knowing it was Reese.Reese poked her head in, a bright smile on her face. “You’re not still sitting here overthinking, are you?”Chelsea gave her a weak smile. “Maybe.”Reese stepped inside, plopping down beside her on the bed. She picked up the dres

The events of the previous night still played on her mind, replaying Liam’s kiss and the way he had treated her like she was the most precious thing in the world. But with those memories came a pang of doubt.She had just finished brewing her morning coffee when there was a knock at the door. Reese, as usual, was quicker to answer.“It’s for you!” Reese called, her voice teasing. “Guess who.”Chelsea rolled her eyes but felt her heart race. She walked over to find Liam standing at the doorway, his presence filling the small space. He was dressed impeccably in his signature tailored suit, holding a leather-bound file.“Good morning,” he said with a smile that made her pulse quicken.“Liam, hi,” she managed, stepping aside to let him in.Reese smirked knowingly before excusing herself. “I’ll leave you two alone.”Chelsea shot her a glare, but Reese just winked and

Liam sat beside her, his presence commanding yet calming.When they reached Chelsea's home, Liam stepped out and opened the door for her."Thank you," she said softly, stepping out into the cool night air."I'll walk you to the door," Liam said, his voice low and firm.They reached the entrance, and Chelsea fumbled with her keys, nervous energy coursing through her. She turned to him, her expression tentative."Tonight was... incredible," she said. "Thank you for everything. The dinner, the university... it’s all overwhelming, but in the best way."Liam's gaze softened, his eyes tracing her face. "You don’t have to thank me, Chelsea. You’ve earned it. I just want to see you happy."The way he said her name sent a shiver down her spine. For a moment, she thought he might lean in, but instead, he reache

    Chapter 78: A Woman’s InstinctThe sound of heels clicking against marble echoed through the hallway as Chelsea and Liam exited the office hand in hand. Their fingers were tightly entwined, and the soft smile on Liam’s lips said it all,he wasn’t just leaving work, he was leaving with the woman who currently held his heart.As they approached the elevator, Chelsea pressed the button and leaned slightly into his arm, stealing a glance at him. He looked relaxed for once—something rare since his return. She smiled to herself, savoring the small victory of having his attention, even for a few hours.But the peace shattered when Valerie’s sharp voice rang through the corridor.“Mr. Hemsworth!” she called, jogging toward them in her nude heels, a thick manila file in her hand. “I have some documents that urgently require your signature.”Liam turned slightly, his expression slipping into one of impatience. “Valerie, not now. I need to leave. You can handle it tomorrow.”She stepped closer, h

    Chapter 77: A ReunionThe ocean waves crashed gently against the shore as Reese stood on the sand, her heart pounding with urgency. The salty breeze tangled in her hair, but she hardly noticed as she scanned the vast stretch of the beach, hoping to find him.She had checked the docks, the nearby restaurants, even asked around the hotels lining the beachfront. Every time she showed a picture of Gerald, she was met with the same response,no one had seen him.Frustration and desperation clawed at her. What if she was too late? What if he had already left? The thought sent a sharp pang through her chest.Reese clenched her phone in her hand, her fingers trembling slightly. She had never chased after a man before, had never allowed herself to be so vulnerable. But this wasn’t just any man. This was Gerald.Taking a deep breath, she turned towards the ocean, her eyes blurring with unshed tears. Maybe it was foolish to come here. Maybe she had miscalculated everything.Then, just as she was

    Chapter 76: A Change of HeartReese paced back and forth in her bedroom, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. Every few minutes, she would sigh, glance at her phone, then shake her head as if shaking away whatever thought had taken hold of her.Chelsea, who had been lounging on Reese’s bed, watched with growing amusement. "You know, for someone who claims she wants nothing to do with Gerald, you sure look like someone going through a crisis over him."Reese stopped in her tracks, narrowing her eyes. "I am not having a crisis."Chelsea raised an eyebrow. "No? Then why are you acting like a lovesick teenager?"Reese huffed, running a hand through her hair. "I just... I don’t know, okay? He keeps appearing in my life, and now he’s leaving. It’s just... weird."Chelsea smirked. "Weird? Or something else?"Reese shot her a glare before flopping onto the bed. "You're impossible."After a few moments of silence, Reese finally admitted, "Gerald is leaving tonight."Chelsea’s expression so

His mind was already occupied with the ongoing company projects when the door swung open. His mother, Olivia Hudson, walked in, her expression unreadable.He leaned back in his chair, watching her as she gracefully took a seat across from him. "To what do I owe this surprise visit, Mother?"Marina folded her arms, her gaze sharp. "I wanted to talk to you about your father’s health."Adams’ fingers stopped moving. He straightened slightly. "His health?"She nodded. "I traced his calls—every single one of them. Ever since you found out he was dying, I became curious."His eyes narrowed. "How long have you known?""A few years," Marina admitted, her voice calm but firm. "Two years before your marriage, to be precise."Adams clenched his jaw, his mind working through the implications. "And who did you trace the calls to?"His mother took a deep breath before speaking. "Liam’s

    Chapter 74: Unfamiliar Faces and Unspoken TensionsChelsea sighed as she unlocked the front door to her apartment, exhaustion weighing down her shoulders. It had been a long day at work, and while she had expected to see Liam at the office, he hadn’t shown up. She knew why,he needed time to process what his mother had told him about his father.Dropping her bag onto the couch, she kicked off her heels and stretched, rolling the tension from her shoulders. The silence in the apartment felt strange. Usually, Reese was home by now, but the place was eerily empty.Where could she be?Shrugging, Chelsea made her way to the bedroom to freshen up. She changed into comfortable lounge wear, tying her hair up in a messy bun before heading to the kitchen. As she started gathering ingredients for dinner, the distant hum of an approaching car caught her attention.She hesitated, then walked toward the window, peeking through the curtains. A sleek black car had pulled up outside, and stepping out o

Kim asked, her voice laced with concern. "Going to meet him alone might not be the best idea. What if he’s dangerous?"Reese let out a soft chuckle, shaking her head. "Kim, I need to do this. I need to know what happened to Jeremy how he survived all these years and why he never reached out."Kim sighed, crossing her arms. "And what if his family doesn’t even know he’s alive?""Then I’ll find out the truth," Reese said firmly. She turned to face Kim. "I totally understand your concern, but I have to give this a shot. If there's even the slightest chance that I can get answers, I have to take it."Kim studied her for a moment before nodding. "Alright, but be careful. If anything feels off, call me immediately."Reese smiled. "I promise."A few minutes later, she was stepping into her car, gripping the steering w

He hadn’t been here in months, avoiding unnecessary family drama as much as possible. However, after last night’s call, he knew he couldn’t ignore his mother forever.As he stepped inside, the scent of freshly brewed coffee and warm croissants filled the air. His mother, Eleanor, sat at the dining table, gracefully sipping her tea, while his grandmother, Beatrice, flipped through a newspaper.Eleanor looked up and smiled. “Liam, you came.”He sighed, taking a seat. “You asked me to.”“Join us for breakfast,” she said, pushing a plate of food toward him.Liam hesitated for a moment but eventually picked up his fork. He wasn’t particularly hungry, but if this was a way to get the conversation going, so be it.His grandmother eyed him over her glasses. “You look tired.”“I’m fine,” he muttered.Eleanor set her cup down, looking at him intently. “Liam, I

She scrolled through her notifications and saw a text from Chelsea that had been sent late last night.Chelsea: Hey, Reese. Just wanted to let you know I’ll be spending the night at Liam’s place. Don’t wait up for me.Reese sighed, placing her phone on the nightstand. She wasn’t surprised things had been heating up between Chelsea and Liam, but something about the entire situation felt… off. Shaking the thought away, she decided to focus on something else.She picked up her phone again and dialed Kim. As soon as she answered, Reese said, “Come over. We’re going to find out who Gerald Hudson really is.”Kim hesitated for a second. “Are you sure about this? What if it’s dangerous?”Reese smirked. “That’s why you’re coming with me.”After hanging up, she moved to the kitchen, brewing herself a strong cup of coffee.

Aria, who had been standing frozen after Liam’s harsh words, turned toward her father in shock.“Dad?” she whispered, her voice barely above a breath.Charles gave her a once-over before turning his gaze to Liam. “What the hell is going on here?”Liam stood his ground, arms crossed over his chest. “You’re here to take your daughter home.”Aria’s shock morphed into rage as she turned back to Liam. “You’re really throwing me out like this? After everything? I should be here, well taken care of, but instead, you’re treating me like I mean nothing to you?”Liam’s expression didn’t waver. “That’s because you don’t mean anything to me, Aria.”She gasped, her eyes filling with tears. “You don’t mean that…”“I do,” Liam replied coldly. “And you shouldn’t bother coming back here because I’ll make sure the guards know you’re no longer welcome.”Aria clenched her fists. “You
