I could not talk to Chelsea after the surgery because she fell unconscious after it was done from exhaustion. Since it was expected she would be unconscious for almost a day, I just got her some flowers and a get-well card I placed by her bed to show I was there. A sigh left my lips as I gave her a last glance before leaving her room. Vincent was Waiting for me outside because he felt I needed my privacy. He was very considerate in everything. "Have you thought about what I told you?" He suddenly asked leaving puzzled. "What are you talking about? I am kind of lost?" I wracked my brains trying to figure out what he was talking about. "I heard from a little birdie you told your dear hubby I am your lover. You didn't accept my offer but you are always using my name to your advantage." My heartbeat plunged to my stomach. How did he find out about that? Vincent had an amused look as he observed my expression. "You are cute when you try to hide your true emotions."
I was not the only one who found this side of Liam weird; I could see the surprise on his friend's face. "I never thought I would see this side of Liam, love makes people change." Ivan teased with his green eyes sparkling with mischief. Benjamin let out a short chuckle in response. Kyle was rigid as ever, but it still made me feel a bit off. My cheeks started to burn hot, and I tried my best not to look too much. The new steak didn't take long for it to arrive. Liam was taking his attentive lover to play to the peak. He was so caring to even help me cut my steak into smaller pieces, while still conversing with his friends. Meeting Liam's friends was not as nerve-wracking as expected due to Liam's earlier warning they were mindful of their words. After Liam was done cutting the steak I was expecting him to slide the plate to me. The next thing he did was pick up a piece of meat to feed me in front of his friend. I bit my lips as my nervousness took over again. He go
"I look forward to that, but unfortunately, we have guests to attend to now. The punishment will be later." There was this menacing presence around him that made me scared to my bones. He was terrifying. Liam leaned forward and the aura around him calmed down a bit, but his eyes were still cold. His reaction to me touching the piano was so adverse. Despite the danger that rang around me and how serious Liam was, I was super excited and anticipating what l he planned to do. My head was screaming and warning me of the danger but yet my body was intrigued. That was how fucked up Liam made me. "You don't scare me." I spat at me. My eyes were shooting daggers at him. His eyes were still cold despite the fact he was smiling. "If you are not scared, then why are you shaking like a bunny? All you can do is glare at me but it's cool as long as your eyes are on me. You just can't resist looking at me." He was annoying his level of narcissism was beyond my comprehension.
(Emily's pov) The window curtains rattled when the cool morning breeze blew into the room giving goosebumps that crawled all over my body. ' Why is it so cold this morning? ' I thought as I snuggled closer to a source of warmth under covers. It was so warm and comfortable, like hugging a teddy, only that this teddy didn't have fur and was enormous.It also felt like naked skin. It felt like I was also naked with my skin pressed against someone's skin. My eyes immediately popped open. It was then it dawned on me that I was snuggling close to Liam and we were both on the bed. Bloody hell what happened last night.Every muscle in my body ached like it was crushed in which was not far from the truth. I was most likely crushed under Liam, I didn't need a detective to figure out what happened last night."Darn it, Emily. You fucked up." I muttered to myself. I probably gave in to Liam, and we had sex. From the after-effects on my body, it was one crazy night, and I didn't remember a thin
EMILY'S POV “I'm done with you, Emily. I never knew you could stoop so low. Bringing a bastard child into my home to claim it's mine?" I felt air suck out of my lungs when my husband, Liam, uttered those words with rage in his eyes. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I held on to the front of my dress. My baby bump couldn't let me stand well but what broke me more was the look Liam gave me. It was filled with disgust and hatred, which made me doubt whatever I was going to say was going to change a thing. "Liam, please, this is our child..." I began but my voice faltered when a slap suddenly landed on my cheek. My gaze became blurry as more tears threatened to escape my eyes. It stung but the person who slapped me was none other than my fake sister. She was the princess while I was nothing but her shadow. “How could you lie to my face?" My sister yelled in front of me with pure hatred in his eyes. She cleaned her hand with a handkerchief as if I were a rag before stomping the handker
EMILY'S POV My heart kept pounding hard as I made my way to the car while Liam's bodyguard got into the driver's seat. “Take me back to the penthouse," I said with bloodshot eyes as soon as I locked the car door. I took a long deep breath, trying to tame the anger that threatened to burst any second. There were three knocks on the car window before I finally heard Liam's voice. “Emily, tell me what is wrong," Liam asked, but I didn't bother to look at him. I was pissed to see him with my sister again after everything he has done. I don't even know how my sister got to know I was in the hospital. I want to leave this place right now. “Won't you get this car out of here right now?" I said to the bodyguard with my voice octave at peak. He stepped on the pedal and drove out of the parking lot at the speed of light. I watched Liam stand in the parking lot through the mirror, but I didn't bother to have any ounce of regret for him. I remember sharing the good news with him in my pas
EMILY'S POVMaybe I heard wrong because Liam suddenly stepped back only to sit on our matrimonial bed. He crossed his long legs over another and undid the tie around his neck.“What do you mean Liam? Why a month?" I asked with uncertainty. The chandelier cast its soft glow on Liam, and he appeared even more attractive.“Just like you said" Liam began and undid the next two buttons of his shirt. His taut muscles caught my eyes and butterflies seemed to flap their wings in my stomach.This was one of the reasons women wished to bow their feet at Liam's feet. He is just too perfect and too handsome and I wasn't an exception to not get affected by his charm.Liam's next words seemed to bring me out of my world, and I shot a glare at him.“We were both forced into this marriage, Emily, and I won't stop you from leaving." Liam declared with confidence.Good. Liam wasn't going to deny the claim about my sister which is fine. I was right all along.“Then why after a month?" I asked without a
LIAM'S POVI rested my back against the Porsche while I occasionally glanced through my wristwatch. It's already past 6 P.M. but Emily hasn't come out since I stood outside. It's unlike Emily to get this late at dressing up because she has always been quick.Everything about Emily today has been full of surprises and it makes me wonder if she somehow hit her head against the hard floor during the car accident.I wasn't even sure if this was Emily's way of paying me back after the fruitless marriage of two years we both had or because of the loveless marriage.She even accused me of cheating with her sister which was something I couldn't deny because Aysel has been trying everything possible to make me send me green signals.I will do anything for Emily but not divorce. Divorce is never an option and not having sex with Emily...No, I won't call it sex. Making love to Emily is something I will never get tired of. Sex with Emily has always been amazing and it took me a great effort not

Aysel continued to display how knowledgeable she was by talking to most of the businessmen with familiarity to show how lacking I was. Some of them even started to praise her but it didn't matter to me. This was not my kind of crowd. My goal was to live my best life and not to waste my time chasing ghosts like chasing Liam's love. "Miss Reynolds is so knowledgeable, Mrs De Marco you should converse more with your sister." One chirped in, probably feeling he was giving me very good advice. "I will bear that in mind. Thanks for the valuable piece of advice." I chimed with a pleasant smile even though I knew deep down I would rather die than take advice about any from the vixen called Aysel. Aysel's head was held high at their praise probably riding high on clouds. "I believe investing in making cheaper phone brands is still a better choice not that I am saying luxury brands are wrong but if for example there is a cheaper phone that can go the same thing as the expensive
It was like a spell was cast on me, I could not look away from him even though I wanted to. He asked me how it felt to touch him. Trust be told, it felt heavenly to feel his body under my palm. "You said you would make me crawl back to you, but you are the one seducing me now, Liam. Are you that desperate to get your dick in my pussy?" I sneered at him with a smirk on his lips. "I didn't say I won't seduce you, little red; you want me badly, but why won't you admit it? All you have to do is pull off my belt and say the words." He placed my hand on his belt buckle, his grey eyes were still locked on my hazel ones. It felt like if he looked away for a second, the spell he had on me would be broken. I took in a deep breath as my eyes glanced down at his trousers; I could see she was slightly bulging. My hand left his buckle and crept around his waist to his back tracing the outline of his tattoos I always wanted to do. Since this was a rare chance to come by there was no way
Liam gave me an accusatory look as he entered the room. "What made you so red little red?" He asked me using that annoying nickname. I ignored him and peeked outside to check if there was any sign of Aysel but the coast was clear. ' Where did that vixen go to?' I wondered with my brows furrowed. "What are you searching for?" The devil whispered into. His breath was fanning my ear giving me a tingling feeling on my ear. I jolted due to shock and ended up slamming against Liam's chest I didn't expect him to be so close to me. "Why are you acting so jumpy?" He asked me. His arms naturally wrapped around me to steady my step. "Why were you so freaking close? My heart almost jumped out of my chest." I gasped trying to catch my breath. Liam stepped back to have a proper view of me. His eyes were prying, trying to understand what was going on. He opened his mouth to talk but was interrupted by the doorbell. Liam opened the door. "Did you order room service?" He glanced
“I have very important information to pass on to you, but in exchange, you will need to give me 20 million dollars," My brows furrowed, my forehead forming deep creases as I read through the message.No one has my contact except four people, excluding the people in my place of work, because this is a new number. I planned to go home and rest while I waited for the school bus to drop Xavier from school.I hesitated whether to call this unknown number or just ignore 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. My brows were twitching seeing the number. 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 take me long to recognize who the owner of the voice was. It was a haunting memory I actually wished to Ignore and forget, but
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
