EMILY'S POV Laura came to her daughter's rescue just in time. “I won't allow you to do that Brandon. Aysel is your daughter before you even know this so-called Emily. She is trying to ruin it.” Laura said but Father ignored her. Aysel felt a bile rise up in her throat as the officer led her towards where she was going to write her statement. She couldn't believe what was happening. Her father, the man she had always admired and respected, was turning against her because of her character but she failed to realise that. That's what she deserved for playing dirty. “You will learn how to speak to me, Laura. I am still the head of the household.” Father snapped but then, he grabbed the back of his head. “Meet me at home then you will see the huge loss your child caused to the company I built with my sweat.” Father retorted back and left the police station. Laura walked towards him, “So now she is no longer your child Brandon. This is a misunderstanding. At least try to get her out of h
EMILY’S POV What did Liam mean by thanking him? “I don't understand what you are talking about,” I said, hoping he would give an explanation. Liam took out his phone and unlocked it. “I guess I didn't know what happened yet.” He said and whipped his head to where Vincent was standing. The truth is, I think I can now arrange the pieces together. Liam knows my plan. “About how you stage the fall.” He completed it and my shoulder dropped. It took me more than 10 seconds to finally gather myself together. The revelation actually shocked me. I wasn't expecting Liam to say that. How did he know? “You don't have to look frightened or anything. I knew it would be hard to fall when I knew the kind of person. This is like a sort of revenge,” He said, almost revealing all my plans, and I swallowed hard. “Then why didn't you say anything? I would have handled everything myself without your help.” I said out of shock but there was no evidence of it in my voice. “Let's say I did it out of
AYSEL’S POV “Mum, you can't tell me to just sit around when Dad already made it clear that I am no longer allowed to enter the company premises,” I said, my voice usually loud today compared to any other day and I don't know why I was even taking out my anger on Mother when he clearly did her best Still, I am disappointed in her for letting me sleep over in a cell room. “Aysel, Mother will never let that happen, hun. I will talk to your father…” She said, her voice laced with worry but I didn't even care. I cut her off before she could finish her statement. “What? You are still going to talk to Dad. Just like the same way you refused to bring in a lawyer that should have helped me in the interrogation room.” I yelled and yanked her hand away from touching me. “Aysel” She screamed and gripped my shoulder. “I told you it was because he told me the lawyer was on his way. I didn't know it was a lie.” Mother said and swallowed hard. “It was not intentional for me to look at you that
AYSEL'S POV The moment I ended the call, his message came in. I can't believe he wasn't even living that far away from here. I kickstart the car engine and drive out of the compound. A few minutes later, I parked the car In front of the huge gate and honked loudly. Two men walked up to the gate and pulled it open. I drove in slowly and stopped when they instructed me to stop. The men checked my face before allowing me to go in and I drove in. Getting down from the car, I walked towards the entrance and pressed the doorbell gently. The door opened, and I came in; my eyes darted around the room. “I told you to leave now, can't you hear me?” I heard a familiar voice yelling. A girl squealed before running out of the room. She passed me by with her clothes clutched to her hand. Walking towards the sitting room, I saw Andrew putting on his trousers. He took the glass containing the wine from the table and drank from it. “Why are you standing there all alone? Come here,” He said, and
EMILY'S POV Xavier kissed my cheek before going outside with Chelsea because his school bus was already around. I was already done preparing for work when Chelsea came back “What is going to happen now?” Chelsea asked and I puffed my cheeks before exhaling. “I will just go to work like a normal secretary but I won't let him have his way with me,” I said and packed my hair into a bun. “The worst scenario is to inform him I already have a child,”, I said, and Chelsea's eyes almost popped out of her socket. “What?” She asked with her eyes widened. “He won't take that information lightly Emily,” Chelsea said and I know she was actually trying to tell me to reconsider this, but I can't., Liam will have to deal with this information himself and I even wonder why I decided to keep him from him when I can just inform him that Vincent is the father. He already accused me of getting pregnant for him so this won't cause a shock to me. He will finally find a good reason to hate me more “He
LIAM'S POV My ears picked up the sound of my phone vibrating. I picked up the phone and pressed it to my ear. Slowly, I walked up to the glass wall and stood at the side watching the world from above. ”Hello Liam,” Rylan's voice broke through the speaker. “Buddy,” I said and waited for what he had to say. “Concerning What you asked me to do. I am done. Now listen attentively.” Rylan said, and I heard the sound of something rustling. “Okay,” I said, urging him to continue. “Emily has a stalker around her, just like you suspected”, Rylan said in a calm tone and sighed. My expression changed when I heard that and my hold around my phone tightened. If I press the phone tighter, it will break into pieces. “Elaborate more, Rylan, and don't leave out any information,” I said, my voice clenched. “She has been receiving flowers from a stranger and I managed to gather this information from the nearby dashcam Camera. He actually tried to avoid being caught on camera, which means he is n
LIAM'S POV Rylan's call came in again, and I picked it up, causing a distraction as I stood up again from the chair. “Hello”, I said, and Rylan's voice broke through the speaker. “Liam”, He called, a little bit restless. “You were right; there is actually one of them who receives a call outside and finally goes inside the hospital,” Rylan said, and a frown settled on my face. “Name of the Club,” I asked as I rubbed the back of my neck. I am already getting frustrated. I was right after all about the stalker. “RV Clubhouse,” Rylan said and forwarded a message to me. “I just sent the picture to you”, He said, and I moved the phone away from my ear to see who it was. Clicking on the photo, the front of the Club building was sent to me. “Good. Let me pay them a visit.” I said and walked towards my table to take my car key. “Description Liam. I will look for him myself. I have men.” Rylan cut in before my hand could touch the key. My hand hung in the air. I took a silent sigh bef
LIAM'S POV “Do you think you can seriously force me to marry you back?” Emily asked and I drew her closer to me by her hand. Since she was wearing heels, her head almost reached my shoulder. “If I need to force you, then I will. If that is what you want.” I said, and Emily scoffed, followed by a low chuckle. I actually miss the jovial Emily. Even when we were on the verge of getting divorced in the past, I enjoyed the time we used together and our little banter. “You can't have a woman that way, Liam. I keep telling you, you can't.” Emily said and jerked her hand away from my hold. I knew she was not the type to be handled roughly, which is why I am trying to take things slowly with her. At least, with the help of the therapist, I have been able to learn a lot about how to treat Emily. I am doing everything for her so that I won't fail, and tonight, I will still go and visit the therapist myself. “Then do I need to win your heart?” I asked and a silence followed. “Will you stop
EMILY'S POVI watched as Thierry got inside the car with Liam. I would have chosen to stay beside him throughout the ride but I came with my car and I would need to take it along. I brought out my phone from my bag and dialled Chelsea's number."Hello, bab,." I said when Chelsea picked up."Yes, love," Chelsea replied. "What is it? Why does your voice sound tired?" She quickly added, noticing the change in my tone."Nothing much but I think I will need your help again," I said and continued. "I am actually going to come home late so I don't know if you will be able to take Xavier up from school. I already texted his homeroom teacher that I wouldn't be at home, so they shouldn't bother taking me home," I explained.Though Chelsea will still be angry even if I didn't tell her much, the truth is she is about to get married to the love of her life so she needs to spend more time with her heart robe."No problem. Make sure you tell me everything when you are back." Chelsea said and I answ
EMILY'S POVTwo hours later, I was done correlating the data. Liam is actually helpful and he actually did most of the work. I can boldly say I will be able to do this easily all thanks to him for helping me out.I called John to come and take the result I had already compiled into the file folder as a soft copy. "Can you at least let me go and print out the files?" I asked but Liam was actually against the idea.He hasn't let me go since and I think he is enjoying this. I wasn't in the mood to banter words with him so I let him go."Why can't he do that for you? Your personal secretary, I mean," Liam said but what he didn't know is that John was not my personal secretary but someone who was supposed to assist me. Though I am still his boss, both in and outside of the company premises, I still want him to be free in the company until I learn from him."I wish to do it myself. Thanks got your help." I said and tried to stand up but Liam held me down by placing his hand on my waist."
EMILY'S POVLiam came again to visit me and I doubt he will even get tired of this. He is a CEO, for crying out and if we are spotted together, there will be problems because not everyone will love our Union and most people don't even know we were divorced in the past.Linda called me this morning and tried to express herself about how she misses me. One other thing she mentioned is that she wishes Liam and I were actually together.I mean, she is so honest and keeps telling me that the chemistry between us actually clicked. Just see that; she is literally the best girl any man would want because she can see through People.Shaking the thought off my mind, I walked towards Liam and sat down in front of him."What is it again?" I asked in an irritating voice because if care is not taken I will get accustomed to Liam's presence in the office room."You can keep doing whatever you want. I just want to keep on watching you," Liam said with a playful grin on his lips and I swallowed hard.
AYSEL'S POVI thought Dad would reach out to me but he didn't. I was even more surprised when I didn't receive any call from Dad though I was planning to go back home this week.I called Mum and tried to explain what had happened to him but Mum told me he already told Father she would be coming back from her trip today.I could only hope she would be back now because it's already been an hour.I called Mum's number and put the phone on speaker."Hello Mum," I said to the phone."You should have begged him when he told you to. Why didn't you stall it back then." Mum's angry voice boomed through the speaker and I have a feeling that this is bad news.She doesn't have to spell it out for me to know that father didn't change his mind."I talk to him but you know his words are always the final say. He told me you have to keep being a good girl while he will watch you for the next five months." Mother said, her voice laced with frustration."This is why I told you not to steal too much from
EMILY'S POVOn getting home, Xavier's school bus came just in time. The guards opened the door while I took Xavier with me inside. He sat on the couch silently watching a cartoon on the iPad in his hand.I took out my clothes and dipped myself inside the bathtub, washing myself."I don't want to see you getting hurt because of what happened. Please make sure you are happy even if you are planning out your revenge on Emily" I recalled Chelsea's words which brought a smile to my face.But why do I still feel empty, as if I haven't done anything? Because after what Aysel did, she is still living fine.However, it's not how it was in the past because she could no longer live the lavish lifestyle.My phone rang and talked of the devil, it was actually Aysel calling. Now, let's hear what the bitch has to say. I picked up the call and put it on speaker while I continued to wash myself."Hello," Aysel said, her voice breaking through the speaker. "So you think I wouldn't know you are trying
EMILY'S POV"No. I don't think I can let you go that quick," Liam said and walked towards me.I wanted to take a step back but then it was too late to even leave when he was looking at me like that. "Don't touch me," I said and he stopped."Now I'm hurt," Liam said in a dramatic tone and all I could do was smile."I will get going then," I said ready to leave."I got you this." He said and gave me a Lily flower. I wanted to laugh at him at first but then I realized Liam knew what he was doing.I had to hate the rose bouquet after what the stalker did by sending a rose bouquet every time. This is part of the reason I hated it because it has been filled up with a bad memory of this stalker."I don't want to take it from you," I said and tried not to stare at him too much.Black fits him perfectly compared to any other colour."Oh, you don't like Lily right?" Liam said with no offence."I got you this too" Liam replied and opened the car only to bring out a peony bouquet.When he saw th
EMILY'S POV"I will give you the necklace at the right time, Emily. I love the way it fits your neck Perfectly." Liam said and I wanted to smile right now but I swallowed it back. He should keep trying, maybe things will work out between us."I didn't tell you that I don't know how to get a necklace for myself," I said and stood in front of father office room."I didn't know I was the only man who could give you that because how did you know?" He asked and I wish I could run away right now."Well, Chelsea told me," I lied and he looked at me as if he could read through my lie."Why do I not find your answer convincing." He said and I quickly walked past him."I don't care about your opinion," I said and knocked on the door slightly. "Welcome, Liam," He said and Liam offered a bow. We walked towards the couch to sit down. I didn't bother to sit beside him and father seems to have seen what I am up to."I should have come to meet you straight, Father, but I wanted to see Emily first,"
EMILY'S POV"What are you doing here?" I asked Liam because I didn't expect him to find him in my personal office room this morning.And today at that. It's not that the thought hasn't crossed my mind but coming this early is what I didn't expect.I have been meaning to go to Liam's office room to question him about the necklace today but when I called Ms Linda, she told me no one had spotted Liam this morning.But now, he showed up in my office room, wearing a shirt that exposed part of his muscular chest."What do you think? I came to see how you are coping in your new office room. Also, to check if you miss me or not," he replied, and I should have expected that reply.Good that he even came because I have been wanting to ask about the necklace from him."Suit yourself but there is no coffee or tea for you Liam" I said but before he could reply, a knock came from the door."Come in" I said and one of the staff came in. I already forgot her name but she is working in the sales depar
LIAM'S POV"Oh, you wish?" He replied, his voice hoarse and dead. I wonder if he is even eating well.The prosecutor excused us while Thierry was still outside waiting at the door."What is it that you have to say?" I asked as I adjusted my tie around my neck. "Do you think it's all over if you keep me here?" He asked like a loser."I thought you like this place, isn't that why you refuse to say anything?" I retorted but that didn't seem to work because he smiled."You don't really know who you are dealing with Liam. Where did you keep my boys?" He inquired and I could see a hint of fear in his eyes and curiosity."Is that why you call me here? I am actually a busy man and I have a place to go right now" I said, ready to leave but I heard a light thud on the table."Emily," Andrew called, not saying anything more as he looked at me with a smirk on his face.And that one name made me stop but I didn't let the weakness show. I am more of a pro when it comes to hiding my emotions."If I
