”Are you crazy?" I asked Liam. ”You can say I am. I actually have Vincent's contact. He will be surprised if I send this to him directly. I wonder if the wedding will still be held." He said like a fucking madman. Liam is acting strange and it is so unlike me. He doesn't care about what people think, and he doesn't care about people in general, so why is he acting possessed now? ”What do you want?" I asked with a shaky breath. ”You and your little secret, Emily" Liam said with a wicked smile. My eyes narrowed. ”Me?" I asked to be sure I didn't hear wrong. ”Yes." Liam said with a smile and I tried to break free from his hold. ”I know it's definitely not me so could it be the secret?" I asked with a shaky breath. “What do you need? You want to break me? Hit me? Then do it, and I will do the same, Liam." I said in a whisper. ”I don't want the wedding to be held," Liam said and clicked his tongue. ”Why?" I asked. ”I don't like him" ”For real? So I will need your validation now
We both sat down on the same chair while the waitress told us to order. We ordered food and ate in silence. ”I will pay the bills," Thierry said and followed the waitress. When we were done we all left the restaurant and moved to the venue where the meeting will be held. Thierry drove the car inside and parked it at the front of the building. The moment we got down, different cameras were positioned in front of us and we took one or two pictures. While Liam maintained his hard expression I smiled at the camera. No reporter was allowed to ask the guest questions. We walked forward, maintaining our distance. Getting inside, my eyes wandered around the room, enjoying the pretty atmosphere the people created. “Mr Nolan, it is nice to see you here," Someone said and I couldn't help but look at the person. It was a young man in his early thirties. “Yes. My pleasure." Liam replied and walked towards another group of people. This place is indeed made for businessmen because each part
Mrs Jones? The name felt oddly familiar, but I didn't want to dwell much on me because someone was actually in a bad mood right now. “What have you done woman?" Liam asked in a clenched tone but Georgia didn't look a little bit afraid. Georgia stood up from the chair and took bold steps towards Liam. “That's a wrong question, Liam." She said with a smile and made herself comfortable on the desk. Her nails were painted red with gemstone design on it and she didn't stop showing it to Liam's face as if she just got her engagement ring. “Last night, remember what happened. I can't believe you will do that to me. Sending me out with a fake promise that you will meet me in my room, only for you not to show up." Georgia began in a pained voice and I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with emotions. I clenched my dry hands together and watched the scene unfold right in front of me like a movie. So that was what they talked about. I was right when I said Liam is not interested in that
LIAM'S POV I almost injured myself inside the bathroom this morning. I thought I had gotten past this but it seems I was wrong all along. Am I insane? What made me follow my instinct in the first place. How could I let Emily sleepover, knowing fully well the girl is a wild vixen despite her not trying? I might have acted as if I didn't remember what happened last night but that was a lie. I kissed Emily after asking her a stupid question. Why is it so hard to hate her despite me knowing that he belonged to another man, instead, I only get closer to her. Literally, Emily was expecting me to kiss Georgia next but I only wish to see Emily's reaction. How would she react if I suddenly kissed a woman right in front of her? Georgia grinds her ass to the desk as she continues to smile as if she has won. “I almost fell for your charm, but the last time I checked, you are just a business owner over there,” I said, my words throwing her off balance. I pushed Georgia's head back with
LIAM'S POV One…Two…Three. ”Take care of yourself, Liam. You know my number” Georgia said and winked at me. As soon as she was out of the room, I faced the woman who had been giving me sleepless nights for the past few days. However, I was pissed with her, and I could only mask my anger by clenching my fist tight until my knuckles turned white. “I didn't give you the permission to beg her. Why will you do that?” I asked the stubborn in front of me. ”Because I had to.” Emily replied, not giving me a straightforward answer. “You aren’t in debt with me because the situation would have been different. I will think you are actually trying to score a point for doing that, but that is not the case,” I said and tucked my hands inside my pocket, grinding my teeth against each other. ”Did you know you just made me appear weak? I didn't tell you to convince her,” I added, and this time Emily took a step closer to me. “Why can't I do that when you always try to meddle with my life, Mr. N
EMILY'S POV Liam's scent enveloped me, his commanding tone almost making me bend my knees in cowardness but I don't wish to listen to his command any longer. I parted my small pink lips, ready to say something again, but I am sure I will regret it. Just as I was about to say the word, Liam beat me to it. ”I swear if you say one more thing, I will fuck you. Right here on the table like a beast. And you will find it hard to leave this room because I won't stop until you scream my name.” He said like a devil he was and my eyes widened when I assimilated his words. My stomach churned as if I was going to throw up. Liam and his vulgar words. I was tempted to try him, actually, but my instinct told me to forget about it. Liam nodded his head as he released my shoulder. I heaved a sigh of relief as I dusted my shoulder. Liam took the briefcase and left the room first. ”Emily, you will have to keep up this energy. He will regret it at last.” I said to myself as I walked out of the room to
I walked away from Liam, descending the stairs as I made my way down. Taking another turn, I didn't go inside the hall instead, I walked towards the fountain surrounded by beautiful flowers. Closing my eyes, I breathe in the sweet scent of the flower and spread out my arms wide in the air. ”Heavenly” I muttered and kissed the air At first, I thought this was a hotel, but it was actually not a hotel because they were building built the same way surrounding the house. Whoever owns this building must be a billionaire. That's the only answer I could come up with. Walking deeper inside the field of flowers, I spotted something moving in the field of flowers. I swallowed hard, not going to run away as I walked closer to it. To my greatest surprise, it was actually a human being and a woman at that. ”Hello, are you alright?” I said aloud for the woman to hear and she stretched her back the moment she heard my voice. “Is everything alright?” I asked, and then she turned to face, an
Mrs Jones gave me the flower while I dipped the flower inside and blocked the hole with sand. I picked up the watering can and poured enough water on it. ”All done ma.” I said dusting my hands. ”Thank you for your help. It's usually rare to see young people interested in flowers.” She said and took me to where to wash my hands. ”You are right, ma’am”, I said as we both walked back to the Field of flowers. ”Do you want to sit with me?” Mrs Jones asked and I must confess that she didn't change much. That was also how we met. ”Of course ma.” I said and followed him to where there were two four chairs positioned not too far away from the fountain. We both sat on the seat next to the fountain enjoying the atmosphere. Mrs Jones was the one who started the conservation. ”I don't know if you wished to hear my story but I met my husband here.” Mrs Jones said and I wonder if she is always this open to strangers. ”I know.” I said and a surprise flashed in her eyes. ”You have told me befor
EMILY'S POV It was always late at night when I received a call from Chelsea and she informed me that she was already on her way to my place. Xavier was sleeping soundly in the room when I got a call from her that she was at the gate.She knocked on the door and I quickly walked towards the door to open it. We hadn't caught up in a while and I was excited to see her because we mostly talked on the phone since I resumed in Father's office. "Come in!" I said cheerfully and greeted her with a warm hug. "Chelsea, it's so great to see you!" I exclaimed and kissed her cheek."Same here. I missed you so much..." Chelsea said and we both walked to the sitting room."Sit down," I said and she sat down on the couch."What's going on? There is something you are not telling me and you have been quiet," Chelsea said and I appreciated the fact that she knew something was wrong with me."Liam is sick and I don't know why I am feeling down?" "So when you told me you wanted me to take care of Xavie
AYSEL'S POV"Ma'am. You order for another whiskey" the waitress yelled over the music. I think this is the third time she will be telling me because I have been lost in thought. I had to come here to cool off the steam after the stunt Maria and her friends pulled up at the boutique."Thank you. I actually wasn't listening" I said to the waitress and took the bottle from her. I can't think of a better plan right now but it seems Dad is not forgiving me anytime soon and Emily will be the one enjoying all the luxury.Calling mother was my next option because I needed to remove Emily from my life if I wanted Dad and Liam to finally focus on me. I will call my mother after discussing my plan with the hitman.I fished out my phone from the bag with blurry eyes and dialled the hitman number. The phone rang for the second time before he finally picked it up."Can you make some men come over and rape her?" I said in a slut voice but I hope he will hear me."You will stage it that she commit
AYSEL'S POVI didn't know I was going to see Emily at the restaurant but I felt good after embarrassing her. If not that Vincent stepped in, her video would have been uploaded but the bitch literally has a lot of supporters.After leaving the restaurant, I called Mum and tried to talk with her. However, when she picked up my call and I asked her about the position, I said I wanted to be in the company; Mum replied."I'm still talking to your father over this so you need to be patient." Mother said but I am not sure anymore if I can wait any longer."Mum, I can't live like this any longer. I am being humiliated by my friends!" I yelled and fisted my hair with my palm at the back. The passers-by looked at me and I decided to go inside the boutique later to get a few clothes before going home. Clothes are said to be cheaper here."They all call me fake because my father treated Emily right. Am I not his daughter? Isn't Emily the adopted one?" I asked my mother, my voice a little bit hoa
EMILY'S POV"Brother-in-law, welcome,," Ayselgreetedted Vincent when she saw him. She had that pretentious face as if she was really trying to look out for him.Brother-in-law?I scoffed inwardly watching Aysel as she stood up and let Vincent sit."I didn't know it was you at First. Good morning Aysel," Vincent said and Aysel cast a glance at me.I sat across from Vincent at the rest. Her eyes were flashing with mischief. "Did you know Emily is actually making use of your brother-in-law? She is not interested in you at all." Aysel said; her voice was loud enough and when I thought no one would listen to her anymore, it seemed they couldn't ignore her loud voice.Vincent looked at me but I had to shake my head so that he wouldn't say anything."Vincent, I think we should get going before this nuisance creates a scene," I said and stood up from the chair but Aysel pushed me back, standing in my way with a proud scowl."You're a two-timing gold digger, Emily!" Aysel spat. "You're only wi
EMILY'S POVI parked in the parking lot when I got to the restaurant after Vincent texted me the location. I am not sure if I was supposed to text Liam and see if he replies because curiosity tugged at me.Not knowing how he is has affected my emotions but I want to keep hoping that he will be fine. I just wished I had told Thierry to let me know once he woke up but I didn't inform him.I took my bag and switched off my phone because I didn't want any distractions. Trying to enjoy this moment with Vincent is going to put my mind at rest. I went inside the restaurant and walked to where Vincent was sitting. The moment I saw him, I tried to smile for him not to figure out what was wrong with me."Hi, Vee," I said and smiled, my perfect white dentition showing. I didn't know I was a pro at faking smiles until today."Emily" Vincent said, his voice laced with surprise. He stood up and pushed a chair back for me to sit on."You didn't even inform me that you are already here," he said and
EMILY'S POV"The boss made us clean up your room after you left and we had to keep doing it even though we didn't know why," Annie said and I was curious to ask her more questions."Has he woken up?" I asked Annie because I know some of the maids were aware of what happened last night and the news must have circulated."No," Annie replied and there was a slight change in my emotions. I didn't expect it because I was hoping he would have woken up by now but no one came to my room last night.No one snuggled close to me in the middle of the night. If Liam was awake, he would have done all this but there was nothing like that throughout the night. He didn't sneak inside my room because that was something Liam would have done."He is not waking up," I said, trying to make Annie open up to me as I walked closer to her and held her hand."What happened to him? You know it right?" I asked Annie but she was actually trying not to speak up."I won't tell anyone, I just want to know why he is l
EMILY'S POVI watched as Thierry got inside the car with Liam. I would have chosen to stay beside him throughout the ride but I came with my car and I would need to take it along. I brought out my phone from my bag and dialled Chelsea's number."Hello, bab,." I said when Chelsea picked up."Yes, love," Chelsea replied. "What is it? Why does your voice sound tired?" She quickly added, noticing the change in my tone."Nothing much but I think I will need your help again," I said and continued. "I am actually going to come home late so I don't know if you will be able to take Xavier up from school. I already texted his homeroom teacher that I wouldn't be at home, so they shouldn't bother taking me home," I explained.Though Chelsea will still be angry even if I didn't tell her much, the truth is she is about to get married to the love of her life so she needs to spend more time with her heart robe."No problem. Make sure you tell me everything when you are back." Chelsea said and I answ

EMILY'S POVTwo hours later, I was done correlating the data. Liam is actually helpful and he actually did most of the work. I can boldly say I will be able to do this easily all thanks to him for helping me out.I called John to come and take the result I had already compiled into the file folder as a soft copy. "Can you at least let me go and print out the files?" I asked but Liam was actually against the idea.He hasn't let me go since and I think he is enjoying this. I wasn't in the mood to banter words with him so I let him go."Why can't he do that for you? Your personal secretary, I mean," Liam said but what he didn't know is that John was not my personal secretary but someone who was supposed to assist me. Though I am still his boss, both in and outside of the company premises, I still want him to be free in the company until I learn from him."I wish to do it myself. Thanks got your help." I said and tried to stand up but Liam held me down by placing his hand on my waist."
