3 YEARS LATER

“Mummy. Are we at our destination now?" Young Xavier said as he hung onto my shoulder. We just got off our flight after leaving Spain several hours ago.

I kissed his cheeks with a bright smile on my lips.

“Yes, Mummy is in Los Angeles," I replied him, and he smiled, looking over my shoulder.

Coming back here was one of my lifelong dreams, and giving Xavier absolute protection was one of them.

Vincent came down from the plane with our luggage in his hand.

“Uncle Vee!" Xavier yelled with her small voice, waving his hand in the air. I chuckled when I saw Vincent flash him a bright smile as he approached us.

“We are here" Xavier beckoned to Vincent. He finally relaxed when Vincent got to our side and stopped jumping.

“You are happy to hear Xavier," Vincent said, mimicking Xavier's cute tone, and I had to stop myself from grinning.

”Yes, Uncle Vee." Xavier replied.

I made a promise to take care of Xavier, but I won't deny him from his father because of the ill-fated relatio

Hello, my dear Readers. I want to apologize for the dragging in the chapters because two readers already gave me a bad review. Emily is back in Los Angeles, so there will be more dramas. I changed the name of her son from Ryan to Xavier because Ryan is a bit similar to Rylan, who is Liam's friend.

    EMILY'S POVThe drive to where Vincent was taking me didn't take long because the driver took a left turn and drove into an estate after forty minutes of leaving the airport.Xavier was busy playing with the toy in his hand while I looked at the view of the city. It's almost the same but there are some slight changes now in Los Angeles city. “It's actually my parents' house. I should have let you know in the first place," Vincent said, turning to face me, his sharp tone cut through my thoughts.I could see the pleading in his eyes as he looked at me. I flashed him a quick smile to calm his racing nerves. It won't be a big deal to know who his parents were.“It's fine," I replied.Even if they were his foster family, the fact that they brought him up well made me realize they are reputable people.The car pulled to a stop. The man in the black suit gets out of the car and rounds it briskly, only to see him at the door.He pulled the door open for us and helped Xavier down before I foll

    “I'm sorry you had to hear that from my parents Emily. They were just concerned about me getting married" Vincent said the moment we got to the spacious sitting room.Vivian and Mr Slyvester were still busy discussing in the dining room. After the heated conversation I had with Vincent's parents, I wasn't sure if society even recognized me anymore as Liam's ex-wife.Vivian knew I gave birth to Xavier, and yet they still wanted me to marry Vincent. He had to intervene before Vivian would drain me with questions and at a point, Vivian carried Xavier on her lap. I could have sworn that Xavier was free in their presence. “I am not angry, Vee and I want to confess that they are nice people. It's really great talking to them." I said in a low tone and clamped my lips against each other to rub the lipgloss well.Vincent rested his back against the wall and crossed his legs. Vincent rubbed his jaw lightly and stared at me with those captivating eyes, his lips set into a thin line.“You mean

    Xavier got enrolled in a new school and was put in the creche class. We both went back home in my new car after paying the necessary fees at his school.“Mummy, Uncle Vee won't come?" Xavier asked in his small voice.I parked the car inside the parking lot and got out of the car after carrying Xavier from the backseat.“Uncle Vee is not coming today Xavier but he will be coming tomorrow morning" I said and he nodded his head like an honest obedient child.Even if he didn't get what I was saying, he nodded his head to whatever I said, and I think this was how Xander learned faster compared to other kids of his age.We were about to walk inside when a call came in on my cell phone. Instead of picking up the call, I walked briskly towards the door and unlocked it using the key.“Mummy, I will ride the car," Xavier said, pouting his cheeks at me.He is already full compared to me who didn't eat anything because of loss of appetite.I put him down and crouched low to the floor in front of

    I already got a nanny to stay with Xavier just for today but my little bunny didn't stop crying for me to stay with him.It was already 9 a.m. when the nanny came in.“Good morning Ms Emily. I am the nanny you sent for. We both talked on the phone last night" The nanny explained and bowed her head slightlyXavier wrapped his small hand around my thighs and kept crying. His voice is distracting me but I try my best to put up my best smile.”I remember you, Ms Linda. I will be back in the evening, just make sure you take good care of him." I said aloud and lifted Xavier off the floor.“Mummy!" He cried out slowly, but I managed to pet him.“I will take good care of him, ma," Linda replied.“His food is already set on the dining table and also his snacks. You can let him play with his toys if he is feeling bored"“Alright ma" Walking inside my room, I dropped Xavier on the bed and pulled out the new dress Chelsea got for me last night.After undressing myself, I put on the new dress and

    My heart drummed loudly in my chest as I sat on the piano bench. Relaxing my arms and fingers over the keys, I breathed in and exhaled before pressing on the keynote and the Melody flowed softly inside the wide hall.Heart beating fast and blood pumping, they listened to the piece of my heart and watched me in amazement. When I finished the note, a round of applause echoed through the walls of the room. “Please clap your hands together for Ms Emily. She has been very talented right from high school till today," The MC said as I made my way towards Vincent.With every step I took, I felt the weight of two pairs of eyes staring at me. I never stopped digging into my back, but I didn't look back to check who it was.“It was an amazing piece," Vincent said, and I couldn't help the pink hue that tainted my cheeks.“Thank you, Vee," I said and tilted my head to where Father was. Everyone was busy discussing it but I have been feeling pressured.A reporter walked towards Aysel and began to

    Perhaps there is something I am mixing up here, or Liam was not in his right mind right now.“And who are you talking about?" I asked, my voice rising but I tried to remain calm.“Good. I know you will deny it. You got pregnant for Vincent, thinking I wouldn't know. You dare cheat on me and even have the guts to file for a divorce." He spat out every word like venom, cutting through the thick air.It felt as if my soul would be ripped out of my body. This was the thought he has had about me since all these days.I swallowed hard, trying hard to fight the lump at the back of my throat that was threatening to make me burst into tears.Who fed him all these lies?And here I was thinking, Xavier might still meet his father in the future.Instead of refuting his claim, I decided to go with the line of his words. I thought I was fine with this.At least this way, we will go our separate ways.“Why are you getting angry when it's just about me cheating? Have you forgotten you did the same? W

    LIAM'S POVI left the hall after the heated conversation I had with Emily. My eyes didn't miss the way her eyes looked at me coldly. She wasn't the same Emily I knew before and I doubt it was because she has been away for a while.The gown she wore did justice to her hourglass shape, and her small pink lips beckoned to me slowly like thunder after the rain, which was why I couldn't stop myself from kissing her.God!I missed Emily and I don't even think I will come to see her again. Walking towards the car, I pulled the door open and turned on the engine; just in time, Emily walked out alongside Vincent with a beautiful smile on her lips.Her once bloodshot eyes filled with disdain now looked at Vincent with affection. They escaped my line of vision the moment they got into the car. I stepped on the pedal, ready to move the car when I heard the echoing footsteps.Raising my head, I saw Aysel walking towards me briskly. She pulled the door open and closed it.I drove the car inside aft

    EMILY'S POVVincent's hand clenched around the steering wheel as he drove towards the street of Los Angeles. He was oddly quiet today which was so unlike him compared to any other day.It felt as if Vincent was angry about something but I didn't know why he was angry.With my hands on my thigh, my darn heart replayed what happened in the restroom. Liam wasn't speaking as if he was in his right mind and this is the first time I will ever see him like this.Not that I bloody care about whatever he is planning to do, but Vincent is someone I cared about a lot.“Emily," Vincent called my attention, and I tilted my head to his side to face him.“Yes?" I replied with a question.“Are you planning to run away from him?" He asked, not looking in my direction for once.Perhaps, I was putting more meaning into this useless question, Vincent, but a part of me didn't want to hide anything from him this time.“I'm not going to run away anymore, but I wish he didn't know about where I was living," I

    Liam didn't let me say anything as he dismissed me from the room right in front of Georgia. I walked inside my office room, trying to watch him through the open blinds separating us but Liam pressed the remote, blocking my view from everything that was supposed to go on in the room.I relaxed back in my seat, my nerves going erratic as I caught a handful of my hair in my fist.The girl sure has ulterior motives but I don't want to dwell on it. With time, I knew she would leave, but I was curious to know what they were talking about.* * *When it was almost 10 am, I picked up my note and pen with me as I stormed inside Liam's office in my long strides, the shoe making a soft click sound on the floor.“You have a meeting with the staff in a few minutes, Mr. Nolan," I said, and my eyes quickly darted around the room; there was no sign of the girl anymore in the room.“Yeah," Liam said, standing up from the seat. Before he left the room, his eyes raked over my body but then, he adjusted

    Liam's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the girl who had just come in, but then pulse his lips, relaxing his back on the chair as he finally remembered who it was.He always has that expression on his face when he is sure of something. I try to remain calm as I take in her appearance. She had a baby face with stunning brown eyes. She used mascara and red lipstick on her lips. For real, she looks pretty.“Come on Liam. Stop acting as if you didn't know me when I fucking had a crush on you for good eight years." She said and turned her head sideways to take a better look at me.“This is Georgia," she said, turning around to show her eight figures to Liam's face. The girl sure has boldness and I love that.“Maybe I changed a little bit but you should still recognize me. I am Maddox's sister for crying out loud" She added and flashed him a smile.I thought Liam would treat her as a ghost when he suddenly took a sip from the coffee I made for him.“Welcome back, Georgia.

    Vincent came in early the next morning before Xander could leave for school. My eyes didn't miss the way they both played with each other before Xander bid Vincent good-bye to go to school. Vincent and I talk as if he didn't just confess to me yesterday but my stupid body reacted to his little touch as if I am a young teenager when I am not.“I will drive you to your place of work" Vincent said when he saw me checking the drawer for my car keys.“You don't have to bother yourself Vincent. I should thank you for staying with Xander this morning" I said and composed my expression, looking at him.“Allow me to stress myself Emily." Vincent said as he walked towards me It took me a great effort not to take a step back away from him.I swallowed hard when he got to my side and tucked some strands of hair behind my ear.“And I told you I won't hold back." Vincent said, his voice barely above a whisper as I held on to the side of my dress.“I won't stop myself from caring for you Emily. W

    “I don't think I can do this, Vee," I said, only for Vincent to shut me up with a raise of his hand. He smiled at me and I could see he wasn't faking it in any way.For the First time, it felt as if this was the first time I would ever see Vincent smile this way. “I thought you would have noticed Emily. I thought I was giving you the signs for you to know that I am actually in love with you," Vincent said, and I shook my head slowly, my palms becoming sweaty.“It wasn't my fault. I mean we are friends. Best friends till we meet again in Los Angeles" I confessed without much difficulty.I didn't stutter or embarrassed myself. I aimed to clear the misunderstanding. I know I somehow use Vincent in order not to appear weak in front of Liam and Aysel.However, Vincent took another step towards me. If 30 centimeters apart before, then I have to say Vincent is breathing the same air as me because there is no space between us anymore.Anytime from now, Xavier's bus will arrive, and I will ha

    I couldn't hold my anger in as I get up angrily. I wouldn't let Liam and Aysel disgrace me. However, Aysel turned to face me as if she knew what I had in plan. Maybe she thought I am going to tell Vincent to stood up from the seat then i will hug him but I didn't.“I have nothing more to do here and if you are that curious to know if he is someone I love, then I will give you the invitation card to our wedding" I said and Vincent stood up alongside me with a bow to the two nuisance in front of me.I walked out of the restaurant with Vincent, feeling a sense of relief that the uneasiness I felt is finally over. We walked towards the parking lot and I hop in. Vincent drived us to my apartment but my nerves didn't calm a bit as I get down from the car.There is this funny question heating me up and I wanted to ask him if my guess was true. I don't want to put Vincent in a tight position. Turning to face him as he closed the distance between us, I asked, "Hey, Vincent, can I ask you so

    For a second, I thought Aysel was joking but it was all true when I saw the seriousness on her face.”Is there anything on my face Emily?" Aysel asked with a blank expression. “You coming right? I will text you the location" Aysel said as she walked back to meet Liam. The two said something which my ear couldn't pick up before they get inside the car.Vincent turned to look at me with his eyebrows. I guess he is communicating with me slowly to either come with Aysel or we should ditch her.My phone beeped in my hand. I checked the notification and saw Liam text on my phone. Actually, Aysel didn't have my number which was why Liam send the location text himself.“He sent the location. I think we should go" I said and Vincent nodded his head with a smile.He kissed my hand before he etwined my hand with his and dragged me to the passenger seat. Opening the car door, he pulled the door open and I get in.Vincent drove the car to the famous restaurant and help me with the door while Ays

    ”Hello, Aysel," I start, clenching my hand against my side while Vincent tries to focus his attention on me, but I doubt it would change a thing because I wouldn't act friendly to Aysel today.“Is there a reason I need to reply to that question you asked? I mean, we aren't that close to sharing something personal," I said aloud for her to grasp what I was saying.Liam eyes look in my direction briefly before he suddenly shifts his attention to Aysel. He didn't bother to walk in to explain himself. Perhaps, he thought I would open my mouth and inform Aysel myself that I am working as his secretary.Aysel laughed cutely, covering the part of her mouth with her hand. ”I'm sorry. It's just that I didn't expect Emily to talk to me that way," Aysel lied through her pretentious face as if I was the wicked person here.I scoffed only to notice a change in her expression. “It wouldn't be hard for you to tell me you came here with your new boyfriend," Aysel said with a scornful look.Calming m

    It was already three minutes past 4 in the evening when I left my office room and walked towards the elevator. Liam left before me and he didn't bother to strike up any conversation with Mr after the heated argument we had in his office room concerning Vincent.I had to admit that he has been acting weird, which is not something I am oblivious to. It's all written on his face compared to in the past when he was good at masking his emotions but things are different now.“Ms Emily, will you be coming to the party? I heard it was thrown because of you" One of the workers working in the management department said, walking towards.She is a lady in her late twenties with a good petite figure. Something any man would be crazy for because of the way she carried herself with her stunning walking steps.However, I cleared my throat when I realized she just asked me a question and which party she was talking about. Or is anyone having a birthday party which I wasn't aware of?“Is there a party

    Call me a Lunatic because the truth is I want to give Liam a slap for calling me a cheating woman when he knows nothing. The fact that he believed whatever lies Aysel told him is still outrageous, considering the fact that I was with him all through and the rare times Vincent appeared varies.“You have know right to say that to me when you are the one having an affair Liam. I only came here as your secretary out of your own will." I said, breathing through my lips as I tried to calm my nerves.”You signed the contract Emily." Liam interjected, acting as if I plead to him to take me back.If only he knew things won't be the same after the 5 month contract expired.“Because you are threaten me with someone else company Liam. You wanted to ruin what Mr Smith has used his life savings to build. You want to ruin it in span of 24 hours" I spat back with venom in my tone.I tried to adjust my expression, taking in a deep breath while Liam only looked at me as I just said something bad. He t
