A gentle tap on my cheek was what woke me up from my deep slumber. I yanked my head to my right side only to see I was sleeping on Vincent's shoulder, and I drooled all over his shirt.“Wake up, sleeping beauty," Vincent said, and I became embarrassed. I am sure my cheeks are flushed red by now and Vincent was just grinning, obviously enjoying this little drama play I am performing.“Are we already at the destination?" I asked Vincent, unsure of where we were.”Yes, sleeping beauty. We are at the destination, and the plane is about to land," Vincent murmured as he yawned softly.“Gosh!" I exclaimed, sitting upright. “I am not a sleeping beauty, Vee." ”Then maybe I should call you an ugly duckling." Vincent said, grinning. ”What do you think about that?" He asked, I had the urge to smack that annoying smirk off his face.”As if I would like that petty name. I am not ugly." I said fastening my seatbelt.“Ugly duckling," Vincent murmured, and I puffed my cheeks.“I hate you," I said, po
I woke up sweating hard from a nightmare. My forehead was glistening with beads of sweat which I rubbed off with the covers.It was a dream about my first death and the way Liam looked at me with disgust while Aysel had a triumphant look on her face.I quickly took out my phone and brought out the SIM card in it. I chew it in my mouth making sure it's well grinded.Getting down from the bed, I wore the slippers beside the bedpost and walked inside the bathroom.After spitting out the chewed SIM card, I look at my reflection in the mirror.“Breathe Emily. You will be okay" I said aloud, rubbing my stomach.I can't believe there is no bulge yet but I am still glad a life is growing inside me.”Mummy will take care of you, sweet," I assured my baby and took the toothbrush and toothpaste.Thirty minutes later, I was back in my room putting on a short jean skirt and a blouse. I wasn't planning to use heavy make-up since I will be at home today and I don't know anyone here in Spain.Knock!I
I checked my email contact and found Dad's contact number there. My eyes were fixated on the screen of my phone but I found it hard to press on father contact and dial his number.It's not even been up to a week since I left Los Angeles and yet, Father is already trying to get in touch with me. Only one question plagued my mind. Could it be that Dad already knew that I divorced Liam, or did Liam talk to him about our divorce?Liam told me to cut ties with his father and I doubt he already told Dad.Clearing my throat, I summoned up courage and pressed on the dial number. The line began to ring and I felt my heart skip a beat as the ringing tone intensified.“Hello," I heard Dad's voice booming through the speaker of the phone, but I was hesitant to say anything.”Hello," Dad repeated, and only then was I snapped out of my trance."Dad," I said, my voice trailing off as I fought back the lump at the back of my throat.”It's me, Emily," I croaked, trying hard to fight back my tears, but
Liam's POVThierry got down from the car hastily the moment he parked the car at the parking lot. He walked briskly around the car to the passenger seat before pulling the door open. It has been a tiring day and there is still no sign of Emily. I already believe she disappeared or left the country, which I wasn't aware of.However, what got me puzzled was the fact that no one could locate her, not even Rylan, who was such an expert at finding people.The only information I was given was that Emily was seen at the airport, but the agent refused to disclose any information related to where she was or the flight she took.“Sir, do I need to get the second car prepared for tomorrow?" Theirry asked and I didn't even know where the anger came from.Is he mocking me that we will have to go again in search of Emily?Turning to face him, I knew whatever I was going to say would break him a bit, but I didn't stop myself. Up ”You couldn't even locate her, and you dare ask me if I could go out w
LIAM'S POVI clenched my jaw so hard and I almost heard a crack in my jaw before I decided to loosen up. Whatever Aysel said passed by my ears like a whooshing sound. It was more of a whisper than an actual word. I raked my hand through my hair, while Aysel looked at me as if I was her dessert, too bad that I don't even feel any connection towards her.“Why aren't you saying anything, Liam? I just told you I miss you," Aysel repeated like a frenzy child.She licked her lips seductively and tried to remove the towel wrapped around her body and that was when I lost it all.Abruptly, I closed the distance between us and gripped her by her shoulder. I expected her to cower in fear but instead, she moaned loudly as if I just did something sinful to her.Swallowing back the saliva at the back of my throat, I parted my lips while Aysel looked at me with her doe-like face.“Who allowed you to come in here in the first place?" I asked in a cold tone, my voice reverberating through the walls
EMILY'S POVI yawned softly before going inside the restroom. Taking care of my bath, I stepped under the shower and took a quick bath.When I was done taking my bath, I dried myself with the towel before putting on a thin strap gown.I combed my hair softly, watching my reflection in the mirror. It's been 2 weeks since I arrived in Spain and I must say I love the weather conditions here.I suddenly feel hot from inside and this has been happening for two days straight. I thought it was because of the hot sun but it seems this was part of the pregnancy hormones.Vincent traveled back to Los Angeles to take care of his company and he promised to get back here this week. But I am not sure if it's tomorrow or today.Pulling the wardrobe door open, I picked out a swimming trunk and changed my dress.When I walked out of the room towards the sitting room, there was no sign of the butler's presence.I already know that he will not be in the vicinity right now because it's already past 10 a
LIAM'S POVThe sunlight cast its sun rays inside my office room as I scribbled down some words on the sheet of paper in front of me. I pressed 101 and connect with Kieran. ”Hello Kieran, come to my office now"A few moments later, Kieran walked in with a file in his hand. “Sir, they want your signature signed on this before the construction will commence on the site," Kieran said while I occasionally glanced at the screen of my laptop and the file.“Are the workers planning to start the construction this month or next month? Also, have you cross-checked to see if the signature of Mr. Bigford was there?" I asked, Kieran.He is the new secretary I got after sending Rachel away.”Yes sir. Mr. Bigford has agreed to give us the contract instead of the Sylvester company. The contract documents are among the files I just submitted" Kieran replied.“Come back in fifteen minutes. I need to go through it again before signing." I told Kieran.“Alright sir," Kieran responded with a slight bow.
LIAM'S POVAysel didn't stop grinning and my brows only furrowed, forming deep creases. It felt as if something was not right here, but I could see it right in front of me; Vincent was the one who accompanied Emily to the hospital.“Do you still think that I am joking, Liam? I told you Emily is a cheat!" Aysel snapped like an angry bird, but right now, she wasn't supposed to be the one to be angry when I was the one being cheated on here.“Stop talking, woman," I retorted in a rather calm tone, but it was enough to make Aysel know that I wasn't in a good mood right now.Aysel set her lips into a thin line as she rested her hand on her hips in akimbo.No matter how many times I think about it, it's hard for me to accept the fact that Emily cheated on me with another man.Though I knew she had mixed feelings about me and Aysel, which I didn't try to clear up, everything changed the night she told me she wanted a divorce.I heard the faint footsteps of Aysel. Of course, she is the only o
EMILY'S POVVincent was surprised to see me wide awake when he came in. I try to calm breathing, not ready to reveal anything about Liam coming in.I just guess Vincent will be pissed if he heard about Liam mentioning the stalker. Could it be that he probably followed me here?How I wish I could just see his face.For him to know about where I am, he would have been watching me for a while but I am sure Xavier will be safe because he is with Chelsea.“It has been confirmed that Aysel was arrested and she is now in the Police custody" Vincent explained, stopping me from thinking and my brows furrowed in confusion. I actually thought it was probably a lie when he said that but I know sooner or later, it will be announced. I am more surprised because I told John to arrest Aysel tomorrow, not today. If she was arrested this afternoon, John should have notified me about the change in plan.Vincent doesn't know about my plan and he was here all through so he can't be the one who arrange
Chelsea barged inside the sitting room in her high heels, her loud voice boomed through the room.“Babe tell me, you are ready for this." She said as she dropped her bag on the floor.Chelsea raised her hand high, giving me that killer look. I didn't get a thing about what she was telling me, and she must have sensed it because she parted her lips again. “I have the latest gist for you", Chelsea whined as she tugged on her dress. My eyes narrowed because it felt as if she was speaking in parables which I didn't get.“I don't get what you are telling me, and good morning, big head. You didn't even bother to call me this morning," I said while she brought out her phone and posed for the camera.“I am sure your boyfriend didn't see you before leaving the house," I said, and lose the bun while I used my fingers to massage my scalp.“I told him I have a place to go and I won't be seeing any man," Chelsea said in a dramatic tone. ”I can't believe he actually allowed you to go like this.
Instead, he pushed two fingers in and I rolled my eyes when I saw the white dot forming.My legs shook when he increased his thrust faster, and I began to moan softly. One hand holding his shirt while my free hand holds the railing.Anyone passing by could hear me moaning softly but I didn't care. I didn't mind. I just want to enjoy the feel of his hand against my pussy.His hand touched my clit and I melted like a jelly. Before I could even stop it. I already mentioned Liam's name. I was so close.So close to cumming but then his thrust became sloppy before he finally stopped.”What are you do..." I couldn't finish my words when he suddenly carried me, sweeping me off my feet.His footsteps hammered against the hard floor. It was a hotel suite and I think he was actually looking for a vacant room.He kicked one of the doors open with his leg and dropped me on the bed with a light thud.My hands rest on the bed as I rest on my elbow.”What? Are you scared?" He asked and took off his
"Did you know what happened to her when you were separated?" He asked with his forehead furrowed with brows.”I do not need you to tell me that." I said, acting nonchalant even though I wanted to know everything that happened.”As if you could dig it up yourself. I love Emily, Liam not in the way you could ever imagine. I will take care of her myself," Vincent declared, clearly challenging me, but I can assure him that he will fail.”I hope you will still have the nerves to say that when I uncover every dirty little secret you have." I said and left, not giving him the chance to talk.Rylan's name came to my mind and I called him immediately.“Hello buddy", I said, and he answered immediately.“I seriously need your help, Rylan, and you need to do it because I am asking nicely," I said and inhaled sharply."What is it?" He asked and I couldn't be more calm.”I need you to find every information on Emily from five years ago." I said and I heard a frustrated sigh from the background."
“I’m glad to know she is okay. Maybe I can come tomorrow. Perhaps, ask for her an apology.” Mr Brandon said and I chuckled. He is a very honest man.”I have a lot to say to you. Maybe you could arrange a meeting.” Mr Brandon proposed and I queried my brows.“Of course sir, I would like to know if you will be free tomorrow. Then I can come to you.” I said.”I am free tomorrow. I will see you at the hospital.” Mr Brandon said. I parted my lips to reply but he beat me to it.“Thanks, Liam.” ”I should be thanking you for raising her for me to marry.” I said like a drunken man ready to have up his life.”Guess you didn't want the divorce anymore. I will speak to you tomorrow” Mr Brandon said.“Alright, sir”, I said before hanging up the call.I took another drag from the cigarette and dropped it on the floor before rubbing it with my shoe.I turned my attention back to the atmosphere and everything appeared black except for the small street light. I walked back inside the hospital after t
LIAM'S POVI walked out of Emily's hospital room, and despite that, every bone in me screamed for dominance. It took me a great will to leave Emily's room without ripping Vincent's arm off when he touched her.Never will I think that a day will come when Emily will ever be in danger. I have always believed I will be there to catch her whenever she is about to fall but I was wrong. She almost lost her life to that bitch clothed in human form.And now, there she was lying in the hospital bed. My phone rings inside my pocket and I fish it out quickly, only to see Thierry's name flashed on the screen.”Hello Boss. I got all the necessary footage but I didn't see who caused the fall. It felt as if the camera footage was wiped off the camera." Thierry said, making my brows furrowed in confusion.My hand clenched around the phone when I heard Thierry. This won't stop me from tearing Aysel apart.”Are you going to tell me you didn't find any clue at all?" I asked in a ragged voice.”The peopl
“I have a very important information to pass across to you but in exchange you will need to give me 20 million dollars" My brows furrowed, forehead forming deep creases as I read the message.No one has my contact except four excluding the people in my place of work because this is a new number. My plan was to go home and rest while I wait for the school bus to drop Xavier from school.I hesitated whether to call this unknown number or just ignores the message. But suddenly, my phone vibrated in my hand and there was an incoming call.Looking at the number, a realization dawned on me, seeing that it was the same number that just texted me. Breathe in and out of my nostrils, I called the number and a familiar voice boomed through the speaker.“Emily. Do you recognize me?" The voice said and it didn't took me long to recognize who the owner of the voice is. It was a haunting memory I actually wished to Ignore and forgot but everything came rushing back when I picture the face in my hea
I should see you off. I hope you don't come to this company again. Don't even try to step your feet in here."”I'm not sure about that. Let's watch and see,” I replied, and that seemed to have hit Aysel's nerve."Don't play dumb, Emily," Aysel sneered. "You know exactly what I'm talking, about. The company.” She says spelling the word out for me to hear. Father's company. It's mine, and I'm not going to let you take it away from me." She affirmed and I applaud her bravery.I felt a wave of anger wash over me, and I stood up, my eyes locked on Aysel. "That's not true," I said, my voice filled with mockery. "Father left the company to us and he made the promise to hand over the company to one of us. You are only in this position because I left Los Angeles" ”Did you seriously think he would give it to you?" Aysel asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm. ”It's mine, and I'm not going to let you take it away from me Emily. Mark my words. He is my father, not yours," she barked at me, and
“What is my schedule this morning?" Liam asked and I turned to face him with my two hands crossed in front of me.“You have a meeting with the company shareholders in the next two hours," I said, looking at him while Liam's eyes were still fixated on the screen.”Next,” He said still not looking up.I blinked my eyes and parted my lips. “You have an appointment with Mrs Bridget at exactly 2 pm and it will be held in your office room,” I explained.”Next.””The CEO of K & Tee company also scheduled a meeting with you and it will last for an hour.”“Next,” Liam said and I sighed. I already memorized his schedule for today, but who knew that would be the first thing he would ask me this morning?I took a deep breath and tried to rack my brains for what I missed.“Next”, Liam repeated, and this time, he finally looked at me.If I thought I had seen Liam angry, then I was wrong because if looks could kill, I would be six feet under the ground.”I think that is all Mr. Nolan.” I replied in
