EMILY'S POV After getting some foodstuff from the grocery, I drove home to find the apartment empty. Liam wasn't in the mansion and the staff had already left for their various homes. I already forgot this is the time of the month they usually get a week's vacation. The bodyguards are the only ones that will be on the premises for the next few days. My heart felt heavy when I got to the sitting room, seeing it all empty. The maid already cooked food and set the table. My food is probably inside my bedroom because I already gave the maids the order to serve me in my bedroom. “Let's freshen up first, Emily," I said to myself before ascending the stairs. After taking my bath, I wore pajamas and ate the food. When I opened my message box, Chelsea had already dropped a message for me. **Chelsea: I am back in the country. I will be coming to take you out tomorrow morning." I read the text and smiled knowing fully that Chelsea would put me through. I quickly type back to her. “I to
“Let's check if this cunt is made for another man, Emily," Liam said with the corner of his lips pulled like a psycho.“You can't touch me. You don't have the right to..."Everything happened so fast as Liam pinned my hand over my head. My eyes widened in shock while I tried to get my legs together and clasp it shut but the devil didn't give me the chance to.“Liam, you can't do this," I said, shaking my head while my voice dropped low. Almost like a whisper but he fucking heard me.“I will just check Emily. Don't fret." He replied with a wink before lowering his head to my thighs.“You promised to obey my rules, Liam," I said with a hint of anger.“You should have known I have a problem listening to orders," Liam interjected, raising his head to look at me.His jet black hair tousled to his forehead while his full pink lips made my body heat up. I was already imagining him kissing me.This damn heart of mine is going to cause the death of me!Liam gets his second knee in-between my t
I was sure Liam didn't come home last night but what I didn't fail to notice is that, Liam's breath reeked of alcohol but strangely, it wasn't disgusting to me.Liam is unpredictable which is why I have planned to double up my games. I already used two days to gamble around after waking up in this body which is why I won't waste any more time.I brushed my hair, facing the dressing mirror. I dropped the brush when I saw Annie come towards me after dropping my food on the small table beside the bed.Annie took the brush and began to brush my hair. Chelsea already told me she would get here soon with the dress which was why I already took my bath.“Should I apply the makeup ma'am?" Annie asked me with her voice low.“Don't bother Annie, my friend will be here soon," I said and talk of the devil, Chelsea appeared right at the door.“Surprise!" She screamed in excitement, holding a bag in her hand. I rolled my eyes at her before telling Annie to leave the room.Annie and Chelsea exchange
“That was why I said I wanted to see you. I am not even sure if he wants me, but I don't know the best way to make Liam pay." I ranted in a low voice, but Chelsea heard me.She took my hand and placed it on her palm while her gaze was locked with mine. Without saying anything, I knew she was angry about how things turned out.“Emily," Chelsea called softly, her voice sweet like honey. “You got me, girl," Chelsea reassured me. ”I would have gouged his eyes out of his eyeballs if not because of you. You know I am a good fighter right?" She asked with a stoic expression while her eyebrows were raised.A low chuckle escaped my lips when I realized Chelsea was trying to make me laugh.“What? Emily, you think I am joking?" Chelsea asked with her eyes widening, and I laughed hard at her expression.“We both know you can't even face Liam. You guys don't even talk?" I confessed and it felt like a blow to Chelsea's face because I was right.Liam and Chelsea are like cats and rats. They are lik
I can't believe Chelsea took me to the top boutique in Los Angeles. This is the famous store celebrities and world-class people visit to get clothes.The car pulled into the parking lot. We both stepped out of the car and walked towards the main entrance. The staff waiting at the door welcomed us inside with a pleasant smile.“You should have told me you were bringing me here. Did you know the dress here is fucking expensive?" I asked in a whisper while the staff led us inside.My jaw dropped at the interior design of the boutique. The light illuminated the wide space while different dresses were arranged in rows.“Oh Emily," Chelsea said, drawing my attention back to her. I knew she must have frequented this place in the past while all I did was bury my head in my room.“You are the wife of the hottest billionaire right now in Los Angeles. I mean, Liam is hot in town right now." Chelsea added with a shrug of her shoulder.I shook my head slightly before smiling at her coldly and she
I sat nervously on the couch in the sitting room while watching my favorite movie series. Though, at a glance, it looked as if I was concentrating on the movie, the truth is I was nervous, and I couldn't stop thinking about how tonight was going to be.Liam didn't promise to come home straight and we aren't even chatting. I looked at my phone, checking for his message but what was I thinking? He wouldn't even text or call me and I doubt whatever plan Chelsea has taught me is going to work.“Wear that sexy night dress and wait for him in the sitting room. I am sure he wouldn't be able to push you away if he saw you." Chelsea's name replayed in my mind. One thing I didn't tell Chelsea is that Liam is interested in my body but not in my heart. I want him to fall for me, not to lust after me, but Chelsea already assured me to remain calm.The car honked loudly outside, which made me spring out of the couch. I tiptoed to the giant window and pulled the curtains aside slightly.Liam's car
“Tell me, Emily. What games are you playing?” Liam's voice dripped with sexiness while his large, calloused hand traveled down my thigh. I knew what he wanted, and a sense of pride filled me, knowing that Liam wanted me, but too bad this was only going to be a game.Involuntarily, I moved Liam's hand away from my neck and escaped from his trap but I don't think the devil is ready to let me go right because his forehead formed deep creases when I turned to look at him.“You must have a tired day, Mr. Nolan. I would like to retire to my room," I said with a look of tiredness.Liam's gaze traveled down my body as he ruffled his hair with his hand. I took a few steps back momentarily but the devil took two steps towards me.The atmosphere grew tense and the only sound that filled my ears was my rapid breathing.“Come here," Liam rasped in a low voice. Seeing the look in Liam's eyes, I made my way to the staircase, but that was the only fucking mistake I shouldn't have made.I felt the d
My knees wobble as I lean towards the staircase railing. My breathing still came out uneven and a lone tear escaped the corner of my eyes.“Oh, good Lord," I whisper with a shaky breath. I wiped the tears off my face with the back of my hand before making my way inside my room. I locked the door with a click and switched on the light in the room. My phone vibrated on the bed, prompting me to check who just messaged me.A smile spread across my lips when I found out it was Chelsea and not only that, Aysel also messaged me.Sitting on the bed, ignoring the wetness in between my legs and the aching need, I clicked on Chelsea's message first.“Tell me, did it work?" Chelsea asked with a crying emoji.Out of frustration, my fingers worked fast on the keypad of my phone.“It fucking worked, you bitch, and now I'm going to sleep with an aching body," I replied before letting out a sigh.Chelsea's reply came almost immediately. “Go girl. Let's hope you turn the tables around. I will be waiti
EMILY'S POVI drive to Liam's company after leaving Xavier's school and inform the teacher about how Xavier's classmates are actually trying to cheat him because he doesn't have a father.What got me puzzled was when his homeroom teacher told me a man had already come to meet him and this man claimed to be Xavier's friend. When she gave the description, it aligned with Vincent at first, but then I didn't think Vincent would come to Xavier school without informing me."I actually thought it was his Dad at First Miss Emily" I recalled what the teacher said, causing a deep frown to marred my face as I parked the car in the company parking lot.I got down from the car and took my bag with me as I made my way upstairs. I took the elevator to Liam's office. The elevator door opened and I walked out after greeting the receptionist. The weather forecast already revealed the probability of rain falling today.With my umbrella still inside my bag, I get into my office room and spot Liam in his
EMILY'S POV"Okay, thanks for having me here, Emily," Chelsea said as she threw herself on the couch, her legs sprawled out. "Feel at home babe. Thanks for taking care of him." I said and took the Chelsea bag from the floor.Chelsea yawned softly and I already guessed that she was hungry. "Xavier already has a special place in my heart," Chelsea said in between her smile.I winked at her before taking my bag alongside the Chelsea bag.However, Xavier, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly took out a piece of paper from his bag."Mummy" Xavier drawled out in his weak voice."Yes, baby," I replied and opened my arms wide for him to come in. He always has something to say whenever he calls me that way."See this," Xavier said and showed me the paper."We have a parent and teacher meeting on Thursday, and I want Daddy to come," Xavier said and my heart skipped a beat, ears ringing because I didn't expect him to say that.Chelsea had the same expression as me, and she came to my rescue.
EMILY'S POVMy heart beat loudly in my chest and I swear, I didn't even feel this scared when Liam kissed me.Fuck.Why am I even thinking about him again when Vincent was the one standing in front of me. He just told me I am beautiful, with his lips barely touching mine, but I am afraid I can't feel the spark.There is no fucking chemistry between us, and it is ruining me. I don't want it to be as if he took advantage of me when I kissed him whereas I didn't want to.I placed my hands on his chest and pushed him away from me but he didn't bulge neither did he kiss me."I'm sorry Vincent. I can't do this." I said and saw pain flash in Vincent's green eyes. He was already expecting me to say that so why is he looking at me that way?"Why?" Vincent asked and released my waist, but his body still caged me to the cabinet. I could feel his hot breath on my lips."Because I don't feel the same," I said, keeping my eyes focused on him. I won't crawl back like a weak woman and let him feed
EMILY'S POVVincent opened the car door for me to step out and get out of the car with a smile on my face. "Thank you, Vee," I said while he closed the door."Welcome to my place Emily. I think this will be the second time you will be coming here." Vincent said with his hand raised in the air. He walked towards the entrance of his mansion while I followed him."Oh come on. It's not my fault Vincent. You know I have been busy lately but we do go out several times, " I said and laughed in between my talk."Okay," Vincent murmured with a smirk at the corner of his lips. "I'm glad you actually followed me here today."I should be thanking you for helping me. You are actually a rare gem" I said, praising Vincent."Come on, what are friends for?" He said and unlocked it for me to step in before closing the door behind us."And I should be glad you are safe because you are my fiance," Vincent said, and I stopped in my tracks.Did he mean it when he said I am his fiancé? Because the truth is,
EMILY'S POVI thought Vincent was actually going to take me elsewhere but to my astonishment, the car stopped in front of the police station. "Is there something wrong?" I asked Vincent and he looked at me before taking his key out from the ignition point."The stalker has been found, Emily," Vincent said,d, and it felt as if my ears weren't working for a while. What did he just say?"The stalker has been caught?" He repeated, and my legs seemed to lose strength, but Vincent already understood my situation. He got out of the car and unlocked the door to my side."I don't want to inform you straight at home, but I want you to be rest assured that he will never text you again, Emily," Vincent said, and I nodded my head."Thank you, Vincent," I murmured as he helped me down to my feet. I clutch my bag to my hand as we make our way inside the station.Another detective was actually in charge of the case. "Miss Emily right?" He asked and I answered yes."Okay, we are to inform you that the
LIAM'S POVRylan and I got to the location. It was already past close to 7 a.m. before we got there. Rylan makes sure to check the environs for any possible shadow lurking in the shadow. The breeze blows, making the nearby sway left and right. "Have seen him," Rylan said after checking with the camera in his hands. He passed it to me and I looked through it. He was alone sitting on one of the chairs as he looked around for any sign of danger. I must say, he is actually meticulous and pays more attention to whatever is going on right now. Too bad he won't be able to get us until we get close to him.Rylan, who was dressed in all black, pulled the hoodie over his head and began to walk in the direction the asshole was. He was already disguised as a Scorpion right from home in order not to arouse suspicion. Rylan has the same figure as Scorpion which was Why it was very much easier for him to blend.Rylan got inside while I took the cue of his distraction to get close to the window.
LIAM'S POVI parked my car in front of the penthouse and made my way in, Rylan was already waiting for me inside. I had to leave Emily's place at exactly 6 a.m. after making sure she was safe.Without thinking much about what happened last night I pulled the door open and got in. My lead only goes back to one man and he is still in the dungeon."You came late. I hope we still have time" Rylan said, getting up from the couch with a cigarette in between his fingers."I had to make sure she is safe before coming" I rolled up my sleeve and took out my phone from my pocket. I walked towards the safe and punched in the password. I took out the burner phone Scorpion was using and tucked it inside my pocket trousers."Loverboy." Rylan joked and then, his expression turned serious again. "So what are you going to do inside?" He asked and continued, torture him more or kill him?" "I will make him call his boss, that is all," I said and made my way to the underground dungeon while Rylan tagged
EMILY'S POVI found it hard to sleep after Liam left. I couldn't, no matter how much I tried, and guilt kept eating me up.Maybe I shouldn't have acted that way to him.Maybe I should have allowed him to stay since he came here to protect me. Liam knows about the stalker and maybe sooner or later, he will know about Xavier.However, before that could happen, I would have successfully chosen to stay in my father's company. I need to know why Aysel was hell-bent on killing me.I won't be surprised if he was the one who sent the stalker to me. She might have wanted to retaliate but I never thought she could go this far just to make me regret ever humiliating her.John has been in hiding after what happened. If Emily knew about what happened, he would only get angry more. I rose up from the bed and walked towards my window, a shadow loom began the plant. Even in the semi-dark place he was standing, I could make out his features.Suddenly, his head turned in my direction and I closed the
EMILY'S POV It's been an hour since Vincent left but I was still standing by the window, looking at the sky. My back collided with the wall as I let out a deep sigh. I literally thought I was already getting okay not knowing it was all a lie. It all started when I had an accident five years ago. It was when Aysel tried to hit me with her car. I contacted zone out but I tried to overcome it without Vincent knowing since he is always not at home. It stopped after three years of constantly going to the gym, training both my mind and body. It helps me a lot but not until I saw Thomas, the man who inflicted pain on me in the past. The one I thought was my father not knowing it was all a lie. Being shot in the chest right in front of me, I realised the panic set in again that I might lose again in this lifetime only if Aysel is caught or thrown behind bars for the evil things he has done. I took out my clothes and disappeared into the bathroom to take a quick shower. I sit inside the b
