“My lawyer will bring the divorce papers tomorrow and you can sign it. Once it's a month, I will have it delivered to the court." Liam explained with calmness. “Fine, but you will have to act according to my rules now," I said, and Liam looked at me with eyebrows furrowed. “I have conditions I would like you to pay keen attention to it." Liam didn't pry too much, and instead, he told me to go ahead. “Okay. I would like to have my separate room." “Fine," Liam agreed without batting an eyelid. “I don't want to share meals with you or anything. I will walk the way I want and do everything I want in my way." “Accepted," Liam replied. I released my hands under my bosom and clasped them together. I bit my lips in nervousness and braced myself. I'm no longer a teenager. “I don't want us having s*x," I said, looking at the wall. A blush crept to my cheeks which made me shut my eyes tight, muttering some curses under my breath. * * * * * * * * Emily had an arranged marriage to Liam Nolan, the ruthless billionaire in Los Angeles.

I asked Vincent and he looked at me before taking his key out from the ignition point."The stalker has been found, Emily," Vincent said,d, and it felt as if my ears weren't working for a while. What did he just say?"The stalker has been caught?" He repeated, and my legs seemed to lose strength, but Vincent already understood my situation. He got out of the car and unlocked the door to my side."I don't want to inform you straight at home, but I want you to be rest assured that he will never text you again, Emily," Vincent said, and I nodded my head."Thank you, Vincent," I murmured as he helped me down to my feet. I clutch my bag to my hand as we make our way inside the station.Another detective was actually in charge of the case. "Miss Emily right?" He asked and I answered yes."Okay, we are to inform you that the

The breeze blows, making the nearby sway left and right. "Have seen him," Rylan said after checking with the camera in his hands. He passed it to me and I looked through it. He was alone sitting on one of the chairs as he looked around for any sign of danger. I must say, he is actually meticulous and pays more attention to whatever is going on right now. Too bad he won't be able to get us until we get close to him.Rylan, who was dressed in all black, pulled the hoodie over his head and began to walk in the direction the asshole was. He was already disguised as a Scorpion right from home in order not to arouse suspicion. Rylan has the same figure as Scorpion which was Why it was very much easier for him to blend.Rylan got inside while I took the cue of his distraction to get close to the window.
LIAM'S POVI parked my car in front of the penthouse and made my way in, Rylan was already waiting for me inside. I had to leave Emily's place at exactly 6 a.m. after making sure she was safe.Without thinking much about what happened last night I pulled the door open and got in. My lead only goes back to one man and he is still in the dungeon."You came late. I hope we still have time" Rylan said, getting up from the couch with a cigarette in between his fingers."I had to make sure she is safe before coming" I rolled up my sleeve and took out my phone from my pocket. I walked towards the safe and punched in the password. I took out the burner phone Scorpion was using and tucked it inside my pocket trousers."Loverboy." Rylan joked and then, his expression turned serious again. "So what are you going to do inside?" He asked and continued, torture him more or kill him?" "I will make him call his boss, that is all," I said and made my way to the underground dungeon while Rylan tagged
EMILY'S POVI found it hard to sleep after Liam left. I couldn't, no matter how much I tried, and guilt kept eating me up.Maybe I shouldn't have acted that way to him.Maybe I should have allowed him to stay since he came here to protect me. Liam knows about the stalker and maybe sooner or later, he will know about Xavier.However, before that could happen, I would have successfully chosen to stay in my father's company. I need to know why Aysel was hell-bent on killing me.I won't be surprised if he was the one who sent the stalker to me. She might have wanted to retaliate but I never thought she could go this far just to make me regret ever humiliating her.John has been in hiding after what happened. If Emily knew about what happened, he would only get angry more. I rose up from the bed and walked towards my window, a shadow loom began the plant. Even in the semi-dark place he was standing, I could make out his features.Suddenly, his head turned in my direction and I closed the
EMILY'S POVIt's been an hour since Vincent left but I was still standing by the window, looking at the sky. My back collided with the wall as I let out a deep sigh. I literally thought I was already getting okay not knowing it was all a lie.It all started when I had an accident five years ago. It was when Aysel tried to hit me with her car. I contacted zone out but I tried to overcome it without Vincent knowing since he is always not at home.It stopped after three years of constantly going to the gym, training both my mind and body. It helps me a lot but not until I saw Thomas, the man who inflicted pain on me in the past. The one I thought was my father not knowing it was all a lie. Being shot in the chest right in front of me, I realised the panic set in again that I might lose again in this lifetime only if Aysel is caught or thrown behind bars for the evil things he has done.I took out my clothes and disappeared into the bathroom to take a quick shower. I sit inside the batht
LIAM'S POVMaddox pulled the door open for me and I walked inside to see them actually working hard to locate who was stalking Emily."When she got the call, I tried to locate the person and it led me here. It was a warehouse, but I don't know why he is going this far," Rylan said, and my frown only deepened."Is it possible that the guy in the dungeon is lying? What if he rest assured that his sister will be taken care of by his boss if they realize he is nowhere to be found for the past two days?" I asked, and Maddox seemed to agree with me that I was right."Okay, you are right," Rylan said and stood up from his seat. "I also found something through the footage you sent to me. He is actually someone in a high position. I am sure he has been Emily before. He can't just target her or should I say he is doing this because of you?" Rylan explained and I couldn't help but think about what he said."Because of me?" I asked, my eyebrows raised in question, I clearly didn't think of this b
LIAM'S POV"Mr Liam, she has already left. Do you still want to come with me to another place?" Fiona asked, and I wasn't even listening to her, and yet she kept talking."Will you love to visit the amusement park with me then?" Fiona asked. I hated women who talk too much. I tolerated her all this while because I wanted to use her but now that the woman I was trying to impress has already left, she has no right to stay here with me."Woman, can't you just read the air and get going." I barked at her and her face fell with shame. I didn't mean to hurt her with my words, but she clearly asked for it by annoying me when she was not my girlfriend."What? I was only trying to...""Fiona," I called, shutting her off and she swallowed hard. "You should have noticed I don't have interest in you. Get the fuck out of here woman." I said in a low menacing voice."What? Why would you hurt me that way? What did I do?" She asked, almost on the verge of crying. "I regret coming here with you," Fi
EMILY'S POV To say I was surprised was an understatement. I am literally beyond pissed right now. Not in my wolf dreams will I think that Liam will have the nerve to kiss me after the warnings I gave him. How dare he invade my privacy because of a stupid movie. I should have known Liam would agree to come with her because I chose the same place. I washed my hands inside the washing sink in the restroom before looking at my reflection in the mirror; this time, I made sure the door was locked. My pupils were a little dilated, while the nude lips had already faded, losing their colour. “Emily, just a few weeks left, and by that time, you should have successfully taken your revenge," I affirm before leaving the room. I walked out of the restroom and made my way outside. To my disappointment, Liam didn't follow me. "Sorry," I murmured when I bumped into someone on the way. The person didn't reply instead, he walked away from the scene. I tucked my hair behind my ear and tried to walk
EMILY'S POV As we walked back to the table, I could feel Fiona's eyes on us, her expression curious. Liam dropped my hand and turned to her. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave," he said, his voice polite but firm. Fiona's face fell, and she reached out to grab his shoulder. "But I thought we were just getting started," she said, her voice filled with pain. I guess she didn't expect Liam to turn her down just like that. My phone rang inside my bag and I took it out and accepted the call. It was Vincent calling me. "Hello, where are you? I would love to come and pick you up." Liam said. I checked the watch to see it was already past 4. "Okay let me forward you the details," I said and forwarded the details to Vincent. "The cinema is just around where you are. Just hold on and wait for me" Vincent said. "Ohh. I didn't know the cinema was close by. I will be outside" I said and ended the call. "Sorry, but I need to get going now, sir," I said and Liam nodded his head. "Ac
EMILY'S POV “I'm done with you, Emily. I never knew you could stoop so low. Bringing a bastard child into my home to claim it's mine?" I felt air suck out of my lungs when my husband, Liam, uttered those words with rage in his eyes. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I held on to the front of my dress. My baby bump couldn't let me stand well but what broke me more was the look Liam gave me. It was filled with disgust and hatred, which made me doubt whatever I was going to say was going to change a thing. "Liam, please, this is our child..." I began but my voice faltered when a slap suddenly landed on my cheek. My gaze became blurry as more tears threatened to escape my eyes. It stung but the person who slapped me was none other than my fake sister. She was the princess while I was nothing but her shadow. “How could you lie to my face?" My sister yelled in front of me with pure hatred in his eyes. She cleaned her hand with a handkerchief as if I were a rag before stomping the handker...
