Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 164. Acting As A Cover
~One moment, Liam was behaving as if he was turning a new leaf and willing to amend his mistakes,And the next moment, it was as if his dark personality never left him, getting worse, in fact. Haley's vision clouded with so much anger that her body began trembling. Hearing his words, her already bad mood turned worse. When her palm flew to his cheek, she couldn't control herself. The resounding sound of the hard slap echoing inside the car jolted them both back to their senses. Liam's pupils constricted, the frown of his face replaced by a look of horror and disbelief. Glaring at him, Haley's breathing was ragged from too much anger.Damnit!She wouldn't be surprised if someday his actions led to her heart attack.What kind of a stupid assumption was that? “Do you even hear yourself, William Nash?” She gritted out. “I don't like you, why would I try to make you jealous?”Because he wasn't kind to her,Anyone who showed her some kindness was intentionally courting her. He coul
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 165. Her New Man

Leah was the only girl Liam protected with his whole life. If Liam had only been acting as a cover for Desmond, it could only mean one thing…No way!Haley gasped, the phone almost slipping out of her hold.Shaking her head, she chuckled. “You're kidding.”“I know, right?” Drake replied. “Everyone would think that… But it's my job to dig into people's secrets.”And he found this!

She found herself subconsciously maintaining some distance, Liam's words echoing in her mind. “Why did you ask?” Clearing her throat, she tried to sound normal. Haley avoided his eyes, in fact, to avoid him reading her discomfort.Her heartbeat had already picked up,And she could swear she was sweaty.Not Daryl!No!Haley regarded him as a brother, a best friend even.Hopefully, Liam's assumption wasn't true.Daryl might just be asking out of curiosity. The deep chortle of his voice snapped her eyes to him. Not only that, Daryl shifted close,

Despite the truths coming out, she doubted if the scars would ever heal. “W- Why did you come?” She forced the words out, struggling to sound normal. Liam stared into her eyes and she stared back, the pool of emotions in his eyes drowning her. “For you…” He stated, taking her hands in his. “Please believe me, Haley… I'll treat you better this time.

Lifting her head, she squinted her eyes.They burned, just like her body. “You're shivering, Haley…” He squatted, his hand trembling as he reached forward to touch her forehead. Haley winced. The coldness of his hand a contrast to her burning forehead made her want him to keep it there for a while.But,He was Liam.And she didn't need his help.Struggling up the floor, Haley pushed his hand aside.She shifted away in an effort to climb up the bed, and Liam let out an exasperated sigh. “You're not feeling well… Stop acting stubborn.”And without waiting for her reply or permission, he scooped her up in his arms.
