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 POVMy fingers moved slowly on the keyboard as I tried to write the last chapter of my comic book before sending it to my illustrator and editor. The last chapter of a book for a writer was meant to be emotional and the truth is I was emotional about writing this chapter because this comic is similar to me and Liam's life story.“THE END" I typed and sent the document file to my editor and illustrator. Yawning softly, I stretched my back before walking out of the room. Vincent will be back soon, since it's already 8 p.m. Mateo, the butler already served the dishes out on the dining table but I didn't have the appetite to eat yet. Undoubtedly, Vincent wouldn't want me to sleep without eating anything. Still, I sat on the long couch and turned on the TV for the 8 O'clock news.While watching the News, I picked up my new phone and scrolled through social media and that was when I saw the news about Liam. I already made sure I used the same Instagram account I was using becaus
EMILY'S POV”How was your day though?" I asked Vincent, trying to lighten up the tense atmosphere. The air was thick with tension between us.Vincent and I are adults, so if he chose to peck my cheeks, I don't necessarily want to count it as a big deal, but my amber eyes didn't miss the way his long eyelashes fluttered as he moved his gaze towards me.”Cool and also hectic." Vincent replied, dropping his spoon as he looked at me.Dabbing the corner of my lips with the napkin, I placed my hands on my thigh rubbing it slowly. “Okay," I said.“Why are you crying in the first place Emily? Don't lie to me," Vincent said, crossing his hand over his chest.My heart skipped a beat when he suddenly moved his body forward on the chair. My face was just a few inches away from him and I could taste his breath on my lips.Sensual and intoxicating, I found myself entranced by his dark eyes. If not because of Vincent being friendly with me, I would have said that he was somehow interested in me. He
Vincent saw me off to my room and bid me good night before walking back to his room. I closed the door behind me and slammed my back against the door with a light thud.Breathing through my parted lips, I couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief because, somehow, Vincent made me forget what had happened recently.His presence made me feel whole.”It's fine, Emily," I said in my head and wet my lower lips with my tongue.My phone rang again in my hand. Checking it, Chelsea's name flashed on the phone screen. This is the fourth time she will be calling me in the space of thirty minutes while I was busy eating downstairs.“Hello, Chelsea," I said, walking down to the side of the queen-size bed. The chandelier hung at the ceiling Illuminated the dark room. I sat on the edge of the bed, bringing my phone close to my ears.Chelsea's voice broke through the speaker of my phone. Instead of returning my greetings, she goes straight to the point.“You have seen it, right?" She asked, her voice
“You know your Dad didn't see you that way, Emily?" Chelsea asked, and I nodded my head because she was fucking right.“Still, I don't want to cause an endless fight in the future. I would like to take care of my child for now," I replied, and Chelsea sighed deeply.“How could I forget about that Emily?" Chelsea inquired and I rolled my eyes at how Dramatic she suddenly became.”You are such a duck head buddy." I said with sarcasm and Chelsea laughed out loud.“Anyone would think you are joking right now Emily but I know this is what you want. I respect your decision, baby," Chelsea replied.“I love you, Chelsea," I said in between my smile.“If I told you I don't Love you, I don't think I will have a good night's rest today," Chelsea answered.Though she is not with me right now, I know she is trying her best not to act like she missed me. I know she did.“I miss you, Chelsea," I confessed with my lips set into thin lines.Chelsea wasn't there for me in my past life but in this lifet
LIAM'S POVAysel didn't stop finding a way to get in touch despite making it clear to both my workers at home and the office not to let Aysel.She seems to have been monitoring me for all these days, and it makes me wonder if Aysel has always been clingy like this or if I was the one who didn't pay more attention to her in the past.”Sir, the car is ready to be taken out," Thierry said behind me.I was sitting casually on the couch, busy surfing through my phone after a long day at work. I didn't even know when Thierry walked inside.Though I remember telling him, I would need the Mercedes Benz before 6 pm. Perhaps it was because my attention wasn't focused here; regardless, Thierry reminded me.“I will be with you shortly," I replied, standing up from the couch. “Alright, sir," He replied with a bow before walking out of the room.Picking up the car keys on the glass center table, I checked the time on my Rolex wristwatch to check the time. It was just five minutes to 6 pm.I walked
LIAM'S POV”Hey Liam" Aysel called softly like a kitten which got Rylan's brows furrowed with confusion.It's good to know that Maddox wasn't here because he would have told me he was right about me making out with Aysel behind Emily, and that was what probably pulled the trigger for the divorce.Aysel didn't stop there, instead, she placed her disgusting hand on my shoulder and I almost gagged when I smelled her heavy perfume. I let her do whatever she had in mind because, seriously, I wasn't planning to use her to plan my revenge on Emily, but tonight, I don't know if it was because of the alcohol, even though I only gulped down half of the bottle, I didn't feel a little bit better and I want to break her.No amount of alcohol could quench my thirst. “Hi," Aysel called softly, looking at Rylan's way, which only relaxed into the chair, watching the scene unfold.“I told you to forget about her, Liam. She is not worth it, and I can give you whatever you want," Aysel said in a flirta
Okay.Someone should please tell me that this is a dream but it wasn't.”What did you just do!" I heard a female voice demanded rashly and I swallowed hard, my heart beating fast in my chest like a freight train.It felt as if I was bathing naked with very icy water that made my skin crawl. Did I just pour the wine on the Lycan's king suit? And to make things worse, Vera was actually beside me when it happened. “I'm...I'm sorry," I said aloud, my lips quivering. I went on my knees, I quickly regained my senses and brought out a white handkerchief to dab the Lycan king thigh neat, but the future Luna slapped my hand away.“You think you can touch him with that filthy hand?" She demanded harshly. My side almost hit the floor but I staggered forward with my head bowed deeply. At least, I have been taught to always act as a slave to the superior, but suddenly, my eyelids flutter,r and cold liquid splashes on my face.“I told you to leave and you are still here?" She asked, resting her
I brought out my phone and decided to text Chelsea instead. After sending the message, I took my phone back inside my purse. Liam and I didn't talk until we got to the destination. Thierry got down first and unlocked the door for me to step out. I was surprised by his kind gesture. I didn't even realise when I said Thank you.Liam looked at me as he adjusted his shirt. He walked inside the restaurant while I followed him closely. Few people were eating but compared to Los Angeles, I doubt people will recognise Liam just like that.We both sat down on the same chair while the waitress told us to order. We ordered food and ate in silence.”I will pay the bills," Thierry said and followed the waitress. When we were done we all left the restaurant and moved to the venue where the meeting will be held.Thierry drove the car inside and parked it at the front of the building. The moment we got down, different cameras were positioned in front of us and we took one or two pictures. While Lia
“I have decided to take her in but the Elders need to have a meeting with me. If she is someone they will choose" Lycan King Zayn and my heart only beat wildly against my rib cage. It felt as if ice water was poured on me. He is going to take in another woman in place of me. His Beta reply came almost immediately. ”They have always wanted you to take in a woman from a powerful family. This is their long-awaited wish, my king." It's happening. This is why he refused the bond. I am just a slave to him.”You will have to meet me here when it's 10 am sharp. Tell the princess to come to my chamber." LYCAN King Zayn said.”Yes, my king. And I needed to report what I saw yesterday. The guards who tried to rape Davina are in the dungeon. What should I do with them?" The Beta asked but a frown settled on my face. If they are talking about me, are the guards the Beta was referring to the two guards I saw yesterday?”I should come down myself. You can leave," The Lycan King said without givi
I smiled when I found myself running wild in the field of flowers while Xavier continued to laugh while a man chased him. I couldn't picture his face, which made me assume this was a dream. A dream I never wish to wake up from.However, I felt something move beside me. At first, I thought I was still in the dreamland, but then something hard poked my thigh, and my eyes fluttered open. I was greeted by the sunlight that shone through the glass wall. Inhaling the smell of mint into my nostrils, my eyes became wide open when I realized what was going on. I looked beside me and saw Liam's face snuggled inside my neck like a fucking parasite as if he was going to suck me dry.How did we end up in this compromising position? His eyes fluttered open, and I lost my cool but not my confidence. He was surprised to find himself beside me.”Morning, Emily" Liam said, his morning voice deep and husky, which made me realize I rarely get to listen to Liam's morning voice while we were together.He
Liam hid a smile between his lips; he raised the fork and chewed the meat on it slowly. I can't believe Liam is smiling right now. Even if it's just for a short moment, I saw it.“It was fun to see you all cooped up inside the wardrobe. Was it fun watching us too?” Liam asked, his voice filled with malice.I scoffed, dropping the fork in my hand as I shot a dead glare at Liam. “Why do you think I was looking for you?” I asked Liam with my eyebrows raised at him.“I saw you, and it felt as if you were about to cry,” Liam replied, pushing my buttons.A laugh actually bubbled out of me like music. “In your dreams,” I said and carried the plate with me. I stood up and left Liam's side, not in the mood to listen to him again when I was supposed to be eating.He didn't say anything more when I left his side and sat down on the bed to eat my food. I was done eating but to sleep right now was the problem. Looking at Liam's way, he was still sitting on the couch with a glass of wine in his han
Woah. I can't believe girls can be so blunt like this. Even when I was crushing on Liam in the past, I never openly confess my feelings. But girls these days are now bold and Georgia is no exception. She never hesitated to go after what she wanted. Georgia let the thin strap of the dress fall off her shoulders, showing off her cleavages. Her smouldering eyes watched Liam with intrigue. The girl is a great seductress but I doubt Liam will be interested when all he wanted was Aysel all these while. I scoffed inside the closet, wondering why I even was here in the first place. “Why are you looking at me that way Liam?" She asked, but I couldn't see Liam's expression because his back was actually facing me. Reading Georgia's expression is actually fun. She will give up sooner or later but she wasn't hurt yet. ”I told you I miss you. Won't you even ask me how I got to know you are here?" She asked with her forefinger in between her lips. She must have followed Liam. The girl is inde

The hotel staff served the food inside the plate and left. Liam sat on the couch and made himself comfortable. He didn't bother to call me as he picked up a fork and a spoon. He wasn't looking at me as if he was going to rip the clothes off my body now.Rubbing my palms together, I sat on the small space left beside Liam. At least, he wouldn't dare to touch me since I am hungry right now.I dug in the spoon, ready to eat when but the moment the fork touched the food, the doorbell suddenly rang.I froze, wondering who could be at the door this late at night since the hotel staff already left. Liam stood up, a look of curiosity on his face, and walked over to the intercom. He pressed a button, and a voice came through the speaker."Hello?" the voice said and Liam's eyes flicked to me, and then back to the intercom. "Georgia," he said, his voice low and even. "What are you doing here?"I felt a surge of panic as I heard Georgia's name. What was she doing here? And why was Liam letting h
When I walked back to the suite, Liam was already dressed up in a pair of black pants while he tucked his hand inside the pocket of his pants. I forgot to mention that the hotel suite has a glass wall at one part in which you can look outside the world down from above.Without making a noise, I tiptoed to where my clothes were and quickly brought out the pyjamas I brought with me. My hands roamed inside the suitcase but there was no sign of the pyjamas. I grind my teeth together. Liam was still looking outside the glass wall. He was holding a glass filled with wine in his hand.He wouldn't have noticed me right?The pyjamas should be lying inside the suitcase because I made sure I brought it with me just because I have a feeling that a situation like this might occur in which I will be forced to share a room with Liam.Still, I couldn't find it.“Are you looking for this?" I heard Liam ask and my heart almost jumped out of my chest in shock. I didn't even hear the sound of his foots
