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 got 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's text on my phone. Aysel didn't have my number, which was why Liam sent 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 entwined my hand with his and dragged me to the passenger seat. Opening the car door, he pulled the door open, and I got in. Vincent drove the car to the famous restaurant and helped me with the door whi
EMILY'S POV I couldn't hold my anger in as I got up angrily. I wouldn't let Liam and Aysel disgrace me. However, Aysel turned to face me as if she knew what I had planned. Maybe she thought I was going to tell Vincent to stand up from the seat and then I would 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 was finally over. We walked towards the parking lot, and I hopped in. Vincent drove us to my apartment, but my nerves didn't calm a bit as I got out of the car. There is this funny question heating me 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
EMILY'S POV “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 centimetres 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 ar
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 goodbye 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 E
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. What can I d
EMILY'S POV 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
We arrived at the venue where the party will be held alongside the team members. However, some of the team members weren't with us yet, so I thought they wouldn't. 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, Emil
I was laughing and joking with the team members, and I even managed to convince Liam to join in on a few rounds of karaoke even though I knew it was the alcohol working, I couldn't resist teasing him. But as the hours passed, I started to feel the effects of the champagne. I was getting dizzy and disoriented, and I stumbled a few times as I tried to walk. The team members were all laughing and teasing me, but Liam was looking at me with a concerned expression on his face. “I think Miss. But 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
Chelsea barged inside the sitting room in her high heels, her loud voice boomed through the room.“Babe tell me, you are ready for this." She said as she dropped her bag on the floor.Chelsea raised her hand high, giving me that killer look. I didn't get a thing about what she was telling me, and she must have sensed it because she parted her lips again. “I have the latest gist for you", Chelsea whined as she tugged on her dress. My eyes narrowed because it felt as if she was speaking in parables which I didn't get.“I don't get what you are telling me, and good morning, big head. You didn't even bother to call me this morning," I said while she brought out her phone and posed for the camera.“I am sure your boyfriend didn't see you before leaving the house," I said, and lose the bun while I used my fingers to massage my scalp.“I told him I have a place to go and I won't be seeing any man," Chelsea said in a dramatic tone. ”I can't believe he actually allowed you to go like this.
Instead, he pushed two fingers in and I rolled my eyes when I saw the white dot forming.My legs shook when he increased his thrust faster, and I began to moan softly. One hand holding his shirt while my free hand holds the railing.Anyone passing by could hear me moaning softly but I didn't care. I didn't mind. I just want to enjoy the feel of his hand against my pussy.His hand touched my clit and I melted like a jelly. Before I could even stop it. I already mentioned Liam's name. I was so close.So close to cumming but then his thrust became sloppy before he finally stopped.”What are you do..." I couldn't finish my words when he suddenly carried me, sweeping me off my feet.His footsteps hammered against the hard floor. It was a hotel suite and I think he was actually looking for a vacant room.He kicked one of the doors open with his leg and dropped me on the bed with a light thud.My hands rest on the bed as I rest on my elbow.”What? Are you scared?" He asked and took off his
"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. I walked back inside the hospital after t
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
