Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 167. Never Left
Haley didn't like where this was going.Somehow, she dreaded what the future had in store. She just realized that she'd fallen for the wrong person all this time,And Liam was here, telling her nothing mattered, still begging her to come back home. Haley couldn't deny that she'd gotten used to loving Liam.A love that had shattered her heart beyond repair. 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. Forget the harsh words I said earlier.”His assumption that she was intentionally making him jealous?Him calling her dumb which earned him a slap?Haley had totally forgotten that already, bigger problems taking up the space in her mind.She forcefully extricated her hands from his
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 168. Memories
It must be morning by now. It had been hours ever since she left him standing on the stairs. Did he spend the night here?Haley had no time to ponder all those thoughts as his figure stopped in front of her. 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. He acted so fast that his rapid movement had Haley blanking out for a second. “Hey-”“Relax. I'll take you to the hospital.” His tone, gentle and calm halted her
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 169. Giving Up Soon
Daryl!Hearing the guy's voice, Haley's eyes instinctively darted to Liam who sat across from her. Their gazes met and none of them spoke a word. Speechless from the sudden intrusion, Haley hoped it was a part of her imagination.And Liam's lack of speech must be due to his anger, for his expression was already dark, and the sign of his fists clenching brought her a sense of dread.She dreaded the fact that Daryl was standing outside her door. She dreaded that she'd have to be forced to stay in the same proximity as both brothers.“Haley-” Daryl's voice came again. “Are you in there? Are you alright?”Haley tightened her hold around the cup. The warmness did nothing to ease her nerves. She felt like vanishing from this place.She wanted to wake up from this nightmare. Liam stood up all of a sudden, heading towards the door. This was it.What she dreaded was about to happen.The last thing Haley wanted was both brothers breaking into a fight in her presence.She just wanted peac
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 170. Handover The Position
~Liam wanted to believe he'd heard her wrong because the moment Haley finished speaking, she fainted.But he wasn't a fool. She'd told him to f*ck off!Why did his love profession always end up in brutal rejection?Was this how it felt like to be hurt?It was an unbearable pain he couldn't handle. If only it was a physical pain. His heart throbbed, and he wished to just embrace her like that.However,She was unconscious in his arms and her life was in danger. If Haley hadn't arrived, only God knew what he'd do to that dumb guy. Daryl's rapid shift in character still astounded him,But the last thing he expected was the guy professing love to his wife. Liam lifted her in his arms. Her body was so light that he could barely feel anything.Had she been eating recently? Yet, she looked fresher than before. Liam found himself admiring her face, her chapped lips devoid of life. He removed the bloody bedsheet from her body, wrapping her with his jacket instead. When they got do
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 171. His Downfall
Shocked at Joye's words, the spoon fell off Liam's hand.Hand over his position?What kind of a ridiculous question was that?Liam threw the assistant a glare, picking up his spoon again. He shouldn't let Joye be here. He should have long sent him out. “Have I become your playmate? When did you learn to crack silly jokes?”But the expression on Joye's face told Liam otherwise.The assistant widened his eyes, blinking rapidly at him. “Don't tell me you're not aware, Sir.”Liam had already scooped another spoonful of his food, but then he dropped it. Was Joye not pulling his legs?“When did that happen?”“Just yesterday, Sir…” Joye cleared his throat, his forehead contorting into a deep frown. “I went to the company this morning and heard all the employees gossiping about it.”That his brother would become the new CEO?Who passed that ridiculous order?If it was the truth, he was supposed to be consulted about it first.It was probably just rumored.“See, Sir…” Joye brought out his

Liam turned around.His fisted hands shook and he struggled to keep them back from flying to the guy's face. Daryl stood in front of him, his face bandaged all over.It was hard to recognize him with that much bandage and gauze. Liam couldn't believe he inflicted this much injury on his brother.He only wanted to bring him back to his senses with just a few punches.He didn't know what came over him.He couldn't stop, probably due to Daryl's provocative words.And if Haley hadn't come in time…“Cat got your tongue, Bro?” Daryl's question snapped him back to the present. “Ha! Is that regret I see on your face? Well, it's too late.”Too late for what?It wasn't like Liam was planning to apologize.An apology was the furthest thing in his mind.And Daryl acting so casually despite these injuries had him doubting if he wasn't faking it.He shouldn't have sustained this much injury. “Tsk.” Daryl chuckled, shoving both hands into his pants pocket. “I wonder what it feels like to sit on t
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 173. Moving In
…At DG Villa Estates. Instead of the blurriness, nausea, and headache, Haley woke up feeling lightheaded.All those heavy feelings were gone. The fever was no more, and apart from a bit of soreness across her body, there was no longer pain. Weird.Sitting up on the bed, she touched her forehead.The image of Liam beating up his brother flooded back to her mind, and everything that had transpired after that.It hadn't been a dream.Haley was a hundred percent sure. She could still feel the traces of the blood where she'd touched them… the fright lingered in her heart about what would become of Daryl. Glancing towards the large windows, Haley blinked at the blinding lights flooding in. She couldn't recall drawing the curtains apart.Was it… Liam?She shifted but something stung her arm, inciting a wince from her. Haley's eyes traveled to the spot, and on seeing the small bandage, realization sank in. She'd been administered an IV Drip.Not only that, there were dozens of drugs
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 174. The Easiest Way
“B- Bro- B-Big Brother…”Her trembling lips wouldn't let her speak coherently.Haley blinked rapidly at the man standing in front of her.Holding onto the door, she found herself unable to move an inch. “Because you don't want marriage, you're hiding here, Haley-” Andrew said, worry mixed with helplessness masking his expression. He stared at her from head to toe, shaking his head. “Lemme guess… you haven't eaten yet. Are you drowning yourself in sadness?”Haley looked down. Indeed, she'd look famished despite eating just now. After all, she was just recovering from a fever which almost took her life. “Uhm, Brother… why're you here?”She was stuttering again, and the frown on Andrew's face deepened.He made way to walk past her, but she blocked his path.To say her heart was racing was an understatement.What if Andrew went in and saw Liam's things?He'd definitely demand to know whom they belonged to.And everyone who knew Joye knew that he was Liam's assistant.What if her brot
