”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
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.He
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
