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
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
