He was worried about me without a doubt, which was reassuring, not also a bit uncomfortable in the sense I could not shake off the thought at the back of my head that I was a burden to him.

My eyes closed as I immersed myself in the music. It was one of my favourite songs written by Marina Sawyer about a missing rib and an unrequited love.

I was so lost in the moment that I didn't even realize I was singing the lyrics out loud with passion word by word until I felt Vincent lightly tap my cheeks.

“That is also my favourite song", Vincent whispered to the shell of my cheeks before facing front again as he stepped on the pedal. A light chuckle escaped my lips at his mischievous behaviour.

When I spotted my team members, I walked towards them slowly announcing my presence in front of them.“Wow, we almost didn't recognize you in this stunning dress." One of the guys said, taking in my appearance.I rubbed my shoulder slowly. Chelsea brought me a short bum and fish-like net leggings to wear. I matched it up with black heels and a black crop top with an off-shoulder sleeve.Chelsea greeted them, bowed her head slowly at them, and nudged my shoulder with hers.“I always told you Ms Emily has a beautiful shape. You look stunning, "one of the girls said.“You look beautiful yourself," I said, complimenting them. “Have you seen Mr Smith at all?" One of the girls asked me, and I shook my head because I hadn't spotted the CEO since I got here.“Are we going to sit separately, or do we just need to mix with the crowd," I asked w

Let's get going before I bump into him again." I said and Chelsea grinned as she kissed my cheek lightly.”I am so sorry. I actually saw someone I knew so I couldn't call your attention. Also, it was a surprise to see Liam here" Chelsea said and kissed my cheek again.“I will forgive you just this once. I was able to make some friends, though," I said as we both made our way outside.Someone bumped into me, and I almost fell, if not for Chelsea, who helped me out. I was expecting the person to apologise only for me to see that it was a man.He was putting on a face cap, wearing a black Polo shirt and his breath reeked of alcohol.“Aren't you going to apologise for bumping into her?" Chelsea demanded in a clenched tone and I couldn't help but caution her a bit.The man bowed his head before disappearing

This is the first time I will be coming to this place. Despite the dags I have used here, I didn't come to this particular floor.Taking a deep inhale, I knocked on the door and met the receptionist at the door when I got in.“I want to see Mr Smith," I said and the receptionist took the phone, “Your name?" She asked.“Emily," I replied, and she put a call through. When she dropped the call, she faced me.“You can go in. He is waiting for you" “Thank you," I muttered before going towards the entrance. I pulled the door open and stepped in. My eyes took in the serene environment as I looked around.“Yes, I sent it for you, Miss Emily," The man said,d, and I

I clicked on the doorbell and it rang.The door was pushed open, and Chelsea's face popped up behind the door. She was wearing short jersey knickers and a crop top.”Emily, you came," Chelsea said as she made way for me to come in. Today, however, my chest felt tight as if the weight of the world pressed down on me as I walked inside.“Is everything okay?” she asked and I nodded hesitantly, trying to muster a smile, but it didn’t reach my eyes. “Yeah, I just...

    "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.

    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

    I was about to make an excuse to leave and get some fresh air when Liam suddenly took a step towards me. I took two steps back but he wasn't going to back down. I kept walking back, not knowing what was wrong, until Liam pinned me to the wall, and a smile graced his lips.”Why are you so easy to read?” I tried to protest, but he just smiled and kept dancing."I want to go and meet Vincent. Stop trying to fuck with me," I insisted, trying to push him away, but he held my hands and placed them on his shirt.But Liam just laughed, and his one of hands circled my waist. “When did you see him?l," he asked, his eyes glinting with amusement.Just as I was starting to get frustrated, the music stopped, and a man was standing on the stage.Liam released me but he didn't let go of my hand. The man standing on the stage is actually one of the men in this party. He was also wearing a mask. He pulled it off and everyone roared and cheered when they realised it was the Famous CEO of Deleesh Mobile

    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.
