Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 47. Being The Center of Attention
Haley's palm flew to that spot on her neck, her heart sinking. Apprehension filling up her heart, she dared not stare into the guy's eyes. Damn! William Nash deserved more than a crash in the head! “Ha,uhm… it's just- it's just a mosquito bite.” Haley bit her lips. Quickly, she loosened up her hair, letting it fall over her shoulders to conceal her neck. “That mosquito must be a master at his job.” Daryl cleared his throat, a hint of laughter in his tone. Haley blushed. She stared out of the window and took in a long drag of the air. If she hadn't been so frightened, she wouldn't have instinctively hit Liam with the vase. If only he'd listened to her warning to stay away from her. An awkward silence hung in the air after Daryl's last statement. None of them spoke a word until the car finally pulled over. “You're not lively around my Bro. Hope he's not bullying you.”Haley didn't see his question coming. He must be a very watchful person to detect the tension between her
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 48. Quitting The Job
~A ghost, really?Standing up from his chair, Liam clenched his fists, irritation taking over. “You must be tired of living.”But she stood still, blood draining from her face.As if she'd lost her tongue, her lips parted, her wide eyes glued to his face, unblinking. Haley should have been in the seventh heaven last night when he lifted that rule.Who knew the crazy girl would smash his head with a vase? That spot throbbed with pain, and Liam's hand subconsciously went up to touch it. Was she having mental issues as rumors had it? Last night was the most bizarre experience for Liam. He couldn't believe Haley didn't want him to touch her.“Any last words?” Liam left his desk, still she remained rooted to the spot. He used that opportunity to trap her by the wall. As she flinched away, he couldn't help the subtle smile tugging at his lips. Haley squeaked, shrinking in his presence. “Y-You… you. You're not gonna revenge, right?” “Great idea.” Liam took a strand of her hair, t
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 49. Acting Indifferent
Pushing the door slightly, Leah stepped into the office, her eyes wandering around the place, looking like a lost kitten. Her gaze strayed to him, and she smiled, lowering her head. What was she doing here? Liam frowned.Wasn't she supposed to be resting at home? Last week, she'd complained about feeling weak and dizzy. Liam gave her a month's leave to fully recuperate at home. She never told him what caused her illness and he had to hear about her pregnancy from his mother. Liam's thoughts wired back to that business trip. If he'd drunk less, he wouldn't have made such a huge mistake!Still, why couldn't he remember a thing? Leah hesitated by the door as her fearful gaze darted to Haley.She looked shocked for a while. “I- Uhm, I- I didn't know you were here, Mrs. Nash. I- I'll take my leave.”“Come back,” Liam called out. She hadn't even said what brought her. Was she very scared of Haley that she was leaving so soon?“Why did you come?” He asked. How did she even know th
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 50. Keep Her Promise
…At The Employees’ Area. The whispers weren't only loud, but distracting as well. Also disturbing was the anger in Haley's heart. Why was she even angry? She wasn't at all surprised that Leah would visit Liam in this place, but weren't they gutsy for thinking they could order her around? “That lady has spent more than an hour inside.” “Yeah, I heard she went to the CEO's office directly.”“Then is she the rumored wife?”“Well, she looks pregnant. She must be the mysterious Mrs. Nash.”The employees gossiped nonstop. They must have seen Leah entering Liam's office.To evade the gossip, Haley contemplated going to the rooftop, But the employees wouldn't leave her alone. “Does it mean we've been worried for nothing?” Amby blocked Haley's path, folding her hands. The girl's once-forced smile was now filled with genuineness. Amby tried to hook her arm around her, but Haley sidestepped. “Oh please stop acting all mighty now,” Amby snickered. “You don't even stand a chance anymor
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 51. Stay Away From Him
A promise?What promise? Haley glanced at him, taking in his serious expression. She couldn't recall making him any promises.Ah, did he mean repaying him for saving her from the basement? Maybe Daryl expected her to return the favor which was normal.But Daryl didn't ask for anything in return, and she couldn't remember making any promises to him.Well, it was only right that she returned his kind gesture. “I'll treat you to dinner, what do you think?” She asked. Daryl didn't nod or reply, a faint smile forming on his face. Weird! Was that not what he expected to hear? “You weren't referring to the basement, were you?” “Forget it.” He shook his head, laughing softly. But Haley only found his behavior strange. If he wasn't referring to saving her from the basement, what other favor had he done her?Was it about driving her home last night or this food she was eating?“What do we have here?” He changed the topic, taking the tablet from her hand and checking out her draft. “Y
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 52. Sign The Divorce
What now?Why should Haley stay away from his brother?Staring into Liam's eyes, was that jealousy she saw? Haley snickered, arching a brow. “Don't you trust your own brother?”“It's you I don't trust!”Oh!Haley was supposed to have gotten used to his poisonous remarks, yet, they never ceased to hit the right spot. Bottling in her anger, and gripping the tablet hard so her fists wouldn't accidentally fly to his bandaged forehead, Haley took in a deep breath and smiled sweetly. “Mr. Nash, did you know poking your nose in someone's business is the number one crime of the century?”“You’re my wife. I won't let you bring down my reputation under my watch!”More like trampling upon his pride. Seriously, Haley couldn't understand the man.Who knew the man she married would turn out this troublesome?“As you can see, I'm busy.” She lifted her tablet. “Go look for someone else to fight with, Mr. Nash.”Liam scoffed. “Did you think I have nothing to do? I wouldn't even look for you if it'
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 53. Working Miracles
~Divorce!Didn't she have any other thing to say?Seriously, Liam was fed up. He'd had enough of her mentioning divorce all the time. But she would soon return to her senses. Once she fell into his trap and he taught her a lesson, she'd stop mentioning divorce and things would go back to normal. As her figure disappeared from the rooftop, he unclenched his fists.In no time, Haley would admit that she couldn't do the assignment. Then he would catch her red-handed and finally teach her a lesson! Minutes later, Liam was still standing in the same spot, his stare fixed on the direction she took. Joye appeared, scratching the back of his neck, his eyes full of confusion. “Sir, I just bumped into Madam. She appeared mad though.”“Are you two fighting, Sir?” Joye went on. “Why was the Madam in a bad mood?”“None of your business.” Liam broke out of his trance, shoving both hands into his pants pockets. “Have you sent Leah home?”“Erm, yes.” Joye nodded.The assistant cleared his thr
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 54. Bet on Her
Liam couldn't believe his ears. Haley said that? Was his assistant telling the truth? Well, what would Joye gain out of lying? ‘He could go to hell!’That woman was getting out of hand. Haley was irritating him on purpose. What did he need to do to make her stop this foolishness?“Erm, Sir. It's normal.” Joye smiled nervously. “Relationships are not always a smooth road. Maybe there's something Madam wants that you haven't given her yet.”Causing her tantrums?What else did Haley need from him?Liam had lifted that rule about being intimate only once a month. He'd promised her to return home often,Yet, she wasn't affected. What other thing did Haley want from him?Liam sank into a deep thought, searching his memory.Throughout their three years of marriage, she'd never requested anything… except that night.Haley wanted a child with him.Was that the cause of her hate because he couldn't give her what she wanted?
