EMILY'S POV

The club was bustling with people the moment we walked in. I could already spot a few familiar faces of the people working in the company. 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

    EMILY'S POV Mr Smith didn't send for me until everyone began to go their separate ways. Chelsea came to my side and tapped my shoulder lightly.“You ran away for your dear life, huh? 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

    I got to my workplace early today to hear about the good news. I haven't settled down in my seat when I receive a call from the Team leader.“Go to the CEO's office. I was told to direct you there," The team leader said, and I stood up from my seat to obey his command.I took the elevator and stopped when I got to the first floor. 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

    LIAM'S POVTaking a sigh of relief, I walked briskly towards the table, pulling my tie off my neck in frustration. I love the expression in Emily's eyes. The way the fire in her eyes burns ferociously as if she is going to destroy me on the spot.I must admit that she is far different from beforeIf this decision of mine will let her stay stuck by my side, then I am ready to do it again. She will have to work alongside me in this same company she so much despised.I heard the solemn knock on the door before the door was pulled open, and Thierry walked in his long strides.“Sir" He began as he walked closer to me. “She arrived safely to her ride and I didn't tail her further because you instructed me not to," Thierry said and I nodded my head.“What about Smith?" I asked, and Thierry presented the document he had been holding in his hand to me on the table.I checked the files, my eyes scanning through the pages until I saw his signature. Good.“This is the file, and he agreed to all yo

    EMILY'S POVI walked up the narrow driveway to Chelsea’s house. I planned to meet her at her place of work but when she said she was at home, I had no choice but to go to her house. 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... I need to talk to you” I said.Chelsea accompanied me to the sitting room, where the familiar scent of porridge greeted me but I wasn't hungry.“Sit down. You look like you’ve been carrying a heavy load. Let me get you some tea.”I perched on the edge of the plush couch, my fingers fiddling with the hem of my dress. Chelsea soon returned with two mug

After helping him to sleep in the space next to me, I couldn't help but take out my phone. The screen lit up and I went straight to my Inst@gram account. I typed Liam's name on it and waited for it to pop up but there was no one with the account except a few other profiles. What am I even thinking? Liam will never open an Inst@gram account unless it is a fake account with a different name. If I want to find more information then I will have to search for anything about Liam. I need to look up Aysel's name First.I typed Aysel's name in the search bar and her profile was the first thing that popped up with several pictures of her.My curiosity tugged at me and I had to look up every picture.

    EMILY'S POV Liam took a step closer towards me but instead of walking back, I stood my stance with my chin held high. “What makes you think I wouldn't dare if you don't cooperate with Emily?" Liam asked, his head bent to match my height. I swallowed hard at the proximity, my emotions almost getting the better part of me, but I remained still on my poise to not get affected by him. This cruel man has caused me so much harm and I don't think I am ready to go through the same pain again. “I came early like you said," I said with a shaky breath, goosebumps forming on my skin when his hand grazed my neck. “So, I think you should keep your promise," I said and Liam's expression changed as he dropped his hand to his side. It was filled with amusement. “When did I make that fucking promise to you Emily?" Liam asked, his hand tucked inside his pocket as he cocked his head to the left. Liam took several steps back away from me, and that was when I let out a long breath that had been hitch

    EMILY'S POV Blood almost drained from my face when I heard Laura's words. It might have sounded sincere to almost everyone seated at the table right now if they heard her but I know this was an insult to me. She was right. What am I doing with my ex-husband in a restaurant at the same table? Liam ordered what he wanted to eat, leaving both me and Laura alone. He didn't even try to clear the misunderstanding. Instead, he took out his phone and began to scroll. Acting as if he didn't hear whatever Laura said. “I came here because I am Liam's sec..." ”We have things to discuss, mother. Is there anything wrong with that?" Liam asked, cutting me off before I could complete my statement. That son of a bitch. I thought he was going to act dumb in the first place. ”Oh..." Laura said, faking a laugh but Liam saw through her. “Emily, I mean, this is not making sense Liam. Didn't you both divorce?" Laura asked and this time, I was the one who replied. "It is a personal reason, Mother, a

    I relaxed back into the chair, watching as Liam's expression didn't change one bit after what Mr Smith said. Liam leaned back into his chair, a look of interest on his face. "Of course, Mr. Smith. What can I do for you?" Mr Smith took a deep breath before launching into his explanation. "My business is doing well now," he said, a hint of pride in his voice. "But I've been thinking a lot about my personal life, and I've decided that I want to leave my position and sell the company." Mr. Smith repeated as if it was a sentence he had memorized over and over again. I part my lips to say something. I wanted to ask him why he suddenly decided to quit after putting me in this mess. I tried to negotiate with Mr Smith in the first place, and he made a terrible mistake by sending me to Liam. The truth is, I want to know what Liam threatened him with for him to release me in one go. However, whatever I was planning to say got caught in my throat the moment Liam's hand shot out, his fingers

    Xavier was the one who spotted me first before Vincent could even see me waiting at the door.“Mummy!" He cried out as he left Vincent's side. I hugged Xavier tight the moment he ran towards me. My little boy doesn't even look a bit tired, like the adult playing with him.”Mummy, I miss you", Xavier repeated, and a beautiful smile graced my lips. He must have missed me all day because he hasn't seen me.”Mum is sorry. I missed you too" I said and kissed his forehead. He smiled and bugged my neck with his fragile.”Now, go and sleep, Xavier." I said but I noticed a change in Xavier's expression. “I know you want to play more, but mummy and Uncle Vee need to talk." Xavier nodded his small head while I guided him upstairs to go and meet Chelsea. Chelsea smiled at me and carried Xavier inside. I went back to the sitting room while Vincent already stood beside one of the couches.”I want to thank you for today Vincent. I...I was confused about who to call and it was only your name that ca

    I slept off inside the car but occasionally I woke up calling Xavier name. It almost felt like a dream but my instinct kept telling me i missed something and it was only Xavier name that rolled out of my tongue.As if I was actually right, I heard Vincent voice right in my head. “They are both at home safely" Vincent said, his voice smooth and calm. I heaved a sigh of relief as I succumb to the darkness that threatened to engulf me whole.When I twitched my eyes open again, it was the bright light coming from the bedside lamp that caught my attention first.However, slowly, I turn my head sideway and only to see Chelsea beside me.My eyes widened in shock as I sit up on the bed. “Easy Emily. You are going to hurt yourself at this rate" Chelsea said with caution, rubbing my back.“When did you get here Chelsea?” I asked, my voice filled with curiosity and concern. They couldn't have got here unless Vincent went to pick them up. ”And where is Xavier? I can't believe I got drunk when y

    “Alright, everyone, since Mr. Liam knows where Ms. Emily is living, we will have to let the Boss go with her," I heard John say as he bowed his head in front of Liam.“Goodnight, boss," They chorus, offering Liam a deep bow, and I shake my head frantically in disbelief.Are they going to leave me here all alone with Liam?Where is their dignity?Before I could even stop them from leaving they all dispersed as if they weren't here with me just now.“Emily" Liam called my name, his tone soft and apologetic. Or maybe I was the one misinterpreting him.He took a step towards me but I raised my hand in the air. “W...Wait," I said softly, expecting him to back away, but he didn't.I am about to vomit right now because of the alcohol I took. Liam didn't even take anything.”You need to s... step back away from me," I said with a warning, and Liam seemed to notice what I meant.“Where are you living, Emily? I will take you there," Liam said, and that word seemed to snap me back to earth.At l

However, some of the team members weren't with us yet so I thought they wouldBut just as Liam was about to take me away, my phone rang. I stumbled over to answer it, and I heard Vincent's voice on the other end."Hey, Emily," he said. "I'm outside the restaurant. I saw you stumbling out, and I thought I'd come to give you a ride home."I looked up at Liam, who was watching me with a mixture of concern and annoyance. "Vincent's here," I said, as I stumbled over to him. "He's going to take me home."Liam's expression turned dark, and he stepped forward. "I don't think that's a good idea, Emily," he said. "You're in no state to be going anywhere with anyone."But I just waved my hand at him and stumbled over to Vincent, who was waiting for me outside. "Thanks, Vincent," I said, as I collapsed into his arms. "I owe you one."Vincent smiled and wrapped his arms around me, holding me close. "Anytime, Emily," he

    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 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."
