Instead of giving me a reasonable reply, Liam locked the door and hit the wall in frustration. Bingo. It seems I was right at the end. "Why did you bring me here?" I asked with my brows furrowed while beads of sweat coated my forehead. I didn't even have time to go through the room. "I don't want to be in the same room as you!" I yelled when I realized he wasn't planning to talk. Liam's expression didn't change, but he did take a step closer to me. "You're going to have to stay here with me," he said, his voice firm. "At least for tonight." I shook my head, my heart racing with adrenaline rushing in. I will not sleep in the same room as him if that is what he wants. "No way," I said, trying to back away from him as I shook my head in disbelief. "I refuse to share a room with you Liam. I have a fiance even if he is not my husband yet." Liam's eyes flashed with anger, and he took another step closer to me while I backed away. "You don't have a choice," he growled, his voice low
Liam finally released me from his grip, and I stumbled backwards, gasping for air. "I'll freshen up first," he said, his voice calm and collected. I nodded, still trying to process what I had just heard. Liam disappeared into the bathroom, leaving me alone in the room. Hastily, I walked towards the bed and dropped my small bag. I heard the doorbell ring which prompted me to go to the door to check who was there. I pressed the intercom and Thierry's face appeared. I pulled open for him and stepped back for him to come in. “I brought the luggage with me," Thierry said and I nodded my head calmly. He was holding Liam's suitcase and mine. ”The boss told me to leave this here," Thierry said. “Alright," I replied and accompanied him to the door. I locked the door and walked back to check what Thierry dropped on the bed. Getting to the bedside, my eyes took in the white clothing lying on the bed. It was the bathrobe. Fuck! Don't tell me Liam went inside the bathroom without taking
When I walked back to the suite, Liam was already dressed up in a pair of black pants while he tucked his hand inside the pocket of his pants. I forgot to mention that the hotel suite has a glass wall at one part in which you can look outside the world down from above. Without making a noise, I tiptoed to where my clothes were and quickly brought out the pyjamas I brought with me. My hands roamed inside the suitcase but there was no sign of the pyjamas. I grind my teeth together. Liam was still looking outside the glass wall. He was holding a glass filled with wine in his hand. He wouldn't have noticed me right? The pyjamas should be lying inside the suitcase because I made sure I brought it with me just because I have a feeling that a situation like this might occur in which I will be forced to share a room with Liam. Still, I couldn't find it. “Are you looking for this?" I heard Liam ask and my heart almost jumped out of my chest in shock. I didn't even hear the sound
Woah. I can't believe girls can be so blunt like this. Even when I was crushing on Liam in the past, I never openly confess my feelings. But girls these days are now bold and Georgia is no exception. She never hesitated to go after what she wanted. Georgia let the thin strap of the dress fall off her shoulders, showing off her cleavages. Her smouldering eyes watched Liam with intrigue. The girl is a great seductress but I doubt Liam will be interested when all he wanted was Aysel all these while. I scoffed inside the closet, wondering why I even was there in the first place. “Why are you looking at me that way Liam?" She asked, but I couldn't see Liam's expression because his back was actually facing me. Reading Georgia's expression is actually fun. She will give up sooner or later but she wasn't hurt yet. ”I told you I miss you. Won't you even ask me how I got to know you are here?" She asked with her forefinger in between her lips. She must have followed Liam. The girl is inde
”I wasn't playing hide and seek with you Mr. Nolan. I only want to protect my reputation” I said and sat down beside him. Liam hid a smile between his lips; he raised the fork and chewed the meat on it slowly. I can't believe Liam is smiling right now. Even if it's just for a short moment, I saw it. “It was fun to see you all cooped up inside the wardrobe. Was it fun watching us too?” Liam asked, his voice filled with malice. I scoffed, dropping the fork in my hand as I shot a dead glare at Liam. “Why do you think I was looking for you?” I asked Liam with my eyebrows raised at him. “I saw you, and it felt as if you were about to cry,” Liam replied, pushing my buttons. A laugh actually bubbled out of me like music. “In your dreams,” I said and carried the plate with me. I stood up and left Liam's side, not in the mood to listen to him again when I was supposed to be eating. He didn't say anything more when I left his side and sat down on the bed to eat my food. I was done eating b
”Did you later give birth to that child?" Liam asked out of the blue and my heart almost jumped out of my chest. My lips parted but no words came out. How would I tell him I actually have birth without mentioning his name as the father. “I have done tons of research, Emily, but no record was found about you and Vincent," Liam said, his voice dangerously low, but his voice still held that fucking command like a commander on a battlefield. He has always been like this which is not a surprise to me. This was part of why it was so easy for him to lead his company solely without the help of his father. ”Why do you care?" I asked, and I had to praise myself for not stuttering. A random girl will easily get intimidated by Liam but then, Liam will not pick a random girl. I have heard him occasional times talking about me and how I was actually smart in everything I do. I still remember when I asked his old secretary what Liam does in his leisure time, and he told me Liam spent his time re
I smiled when I found myself running wild in the field of flowers while Xavier continued to laugh while a man chased him. I couldn't picture his face, which made me assume this was a dream. A dream I never wish to wake up from. However, I felt something move beside me. At first, I thought I was still in the dreamland, but then something hard poked my thigh, and my eyes fluttered open. I was greeted by the sunlight that shone through the glass wall. Inhaling the smell of mint into my nostrils, my eyes became wide open when I realized what was going on. I looked beside me and saw Liam's face snuggled inside my neck like a fucking parasite as if he was going to suck me dry. How did we end up in this compromising position? His eyes fluttered open, and I lost my cool but not my confidence. He was surprised to find himself beside me. ”Morning, Emily" Liam said, his morning voice deep and husky, which made me realize I rarely get to listen to Liam's morning voice while we were together.
My nipples were poking the dress, showcasing the swell of my breast. No wonder he was looking at me that way, and strangely, an Idea formed in my head. With a smile on my face, I took off my dress and freshened up. I got out of the bathroom and met Liam pressing something on his laptop. He didn't remember the kiss he gave me last night? This is actually the first time Liam will ever forget about what he did after getting sobered but today, it was actually different. He noticed I was done but he didn't look my way. Instead, Liam stood up and disappeared inside the bathroom. I take my time to cream my body before wearing my fitted gown. We are attending a meeting which actually brought a smile to my face. Everything will start falling into the right place soon. The door was pulled open and it took me a few seconds to adjust my breathing when Liam passed my back. It took us a while before we finally got dressed. Liam was wearing a black suit with his hairstyle on the back. He sur
Vincent agreed to come and pick me up in the evening after we ended the call. I called Chelsea to take Xavier away to her House because I will be busy which is a lie. I returned the phone to the lady at the receptionist and walked back to my office room. I received a message from Liam to come into his office room. I walked into Liam's office, wondering what he wanted me to do. He was sitting behind his desk, a stack of documents in front of him. "Emily, I need you to pick up some documents for me," he said, not looking up. I nodded and walked over to the filing cabinet. I asked for the particular one he wanted, and he mentioned it, which I helped him to find. As I handed him the documents, he looked up at me and smiled. "Thanks, Emily. By the way, I have a surprise for you." I raised an eyebrow, wondering what it could be. "What is it?" I asked, my heartbeat pulsating with the continuous flow of blood. "We have a place to attend tomorrow evening," he said, his eyes sparkling wi
Avery used every ounce of her strength to run into the woods. She has been running for some minutes, not taking a break for once.She didn't offend anyone, so who could want her dead? She didn't stop running as she occasionally glanced at the screen of her cellphone. Just when she looked back, the three men were already close to her. Judging by the way they dressed, she figured out they were probably a thug or something."What do you want?" Avery asked them, and her chest rose and fell simultaneously. Her hands kept shaking and her leg wobbled slightly but she steeled herself.She had to stop running, knowing fully well that they would soon get close to her. "Tell me, who sent you?" Avery asked with so much bravery but inside, she was weeping silently and praying for a breakthrough. Her heels hurt her feet but she was all alone in the wood. She dialed Sebastian's number and waited for him to pick it up but the men were already closer to her. "Look, she is trying to call someone!"
Sebastian cradled Avery in his arms as he headed towards the back door of the mansion. The lights were already on, which made it easier for Sebastian to walk freely into the spacious sitting room. He walked into his room, shutting the door.Sebastian carried Avery into his bedroom in a bridal style and gently laid her on the bed. Sebastian walked into the bathroom and quickly prepared a hot bath.His blood was still boiling in rage. He didn't want to lose Avery the same way he lost Celine.Sebastian came back into the room and took Avery inside the bathroom.Sebastian placed Avery into the warm water, and her eyelids fluttered open. She shivered in the water as her lashes began to shake.A sign that she was not fully awake. Sebastian took in a deep breath as he watched Avery's face."I...I'm...." She shuttered, not knowing where she was."You are safe. I will take care of you now" Sebastian petted her but Avery's heartbeat began to accelerate in her chest.Sebastian heard every beat
Avery left the room after applying make up on her neck to hide the hickeys. She stepped into the photoshoot room fidgeting.She was embarrassed and shy when she saw few men in the room, decorating the photoshoot room with the necessary equipments."You can get into the bath tub now," The photographer instructed Avery and she complied nodding in affirmation. She sank into the bath, allowing the warmth to seep into her pores. The coldness of the water cradled her, soothing her muscle and calming her nerves. "Please relax and gently rub the foam around your shoulders"Avery complied and shots were taken. After trying different posture and styles, she was asked to stand up holding the soap in her hand. The background music song was played."I think we are done here" The photographer said and the prop applauded Avery.Calhoun walked in just in time to see Avery only in a bikini that exposed her hourglass curves and plump round boobs(note breast, is a turn-off for me)He clenched his han
I sat back down at my desk, trying to shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in my stomach after my encounter with Liam. I pulled out my phone and opened up Instagram, scrolling through my feed to distract myself.Perhaps he was trying to get on my nerves by acting like he cared. I don't know what the workers were busy talking about now but I doubted it could be something else apart from me.As I scrolled my Instagram page, I noticed a message in my inbox from an unknown account. Though my fans message me to praise me about my books and all. Maybe this was also one of them.I raised an eyebrow, wondering who could have messaged me at this time. I opened up the message, and my heart skipped a beat as I read the words on the screen."Hi Emily, I've been watching you. You're a beautiful writer, and I love your work. Would you love to be my girlfriend? I love the outfit you wore today" I felt a shiver run down my spine as I read the message, my hands trembling and I had to put
The phone rang, shrill and insistent, and I picked it up, my heart sinking as I heard Aysel's voice on the other end."Emily, I need to see you," she said, her tone curt and commanding. "Meet me at Father's company in an hour."I hesitated, feeling a surge of anxiety at the prospect of facing Aysel again. But something about her tone made me feel like I had no choice."Fine," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "I'll be there."As I hung up the phone, I felt a knot of tension form in my stomach. What did Aysel want to talk about? And why did she sound so angry?I arrived at the company an hour later, my heart racing with anticipation. Aysel was already there, pacing back and forth in front of the reception desk."Emily, thank you for coming," she said, her eyes flashing with anger. "I think it's time we settled this once and for all.""Settled what?" I asked, feeling a surge of defensiveness."Don't play dumb, Emily," Aysel sneered. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. The co
However, the anger she had been trying hard to maintain and curbed suddenly threatened to surface when Avery saw the two people walking her way. Avery didn't bother to get into the elevator when she saw him walking forward with the corner of his lips curled up to form a smirk."Avery," Jessica called, her voice at the peak as she walked towards Avery with Logan trailing behind her.Avery returned the smile faintly while Jessica stood in front of her, her eyes scrutinizing Avery. Jessica stared at Avery from head to toe, and she noticed Avery had somehow changed her style of dressing. "She even appeared to be more beautiful today," Jessica thought, turning to hold Logan's arms while Avery just looked at them."Logan, I forgot to tell you. Avery will be getting married soon," Jessica announced with a pretentious smile on her face, which Avery didn't fail to notice.Logan was shocked to hear this, but he didn't show it. His eyes gaze around Avery's body in lust, but he has a more press
If Avery thought this guy was a devil before, now she is going to claim that he is a sly fox. Sebastian's voice now sounded more aloof and distant.'How could he bring me to his father's house without telling me?' Avery screamed in her mind. Her hazel eyes throw daggers at Sebastian."My name is Avery, father. Nice to meet you, sir," Avery said politely. Her voice calm and soothing.Looking at Sebastian's father, she could see the resemblance, and the man seemed to be in his forties.So young and handsome."My name is Donovan. So you are the one who stole My son's heart?" Donovan, Sebastian's father said in sarcasm as he flashed a beautiful smile at Avery.Donovan was a charmer when his charming smile graced his face showing those dimples. Avery wondered if Sebastian has dimples too but the devil hasn't smiled before. Avery threw Sebastian a hard glare because he hadn't informed her about how to make up the story about how they met. How could he do that without informing her? But sh
After trying different types of dresses, including gowns and some skirts and blouses, Avery finally came out of the dressing room again in a stunning cream dress that reached her knees. The gown is an off shoulder dress that accentuates her feminine curve. Her hips came out more prominently, and her full breasts clung to her chest like her other half.Her long and beautiful neck was exposed to the view, but thanks to her long hair, it covered the side of her neck.The dress showed off her shoulders, and some part of her bosom was displayed to the eyes as a feast.A beauty to behold."This is the perfect dress!" Hazel was in astonishment as she walked to where Avery was standing. She pulled Avery toward the mirror."You should go with this," Hazel whispers, her eyes beaming with happiness. When Avery lifts her gaze to the mirror, she doesn't know what to say about this. The dress is indeed beautiful, but it's too open, and she doesn't like clothes like this."Thank you," Avery replie
