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
A bitter smile graced my lips as I walked forward to take a closer look at Liam's trousers. Aysel resumed what she was doing while mocking me with her eyes. I took a deep breath in before parting my lips.“It's fine. I actually came here because I was getting some things around here. I will let you be," I said with a faint smile. I turned my back towards them and made my way to the door.“Emily wait," Liam called in a cold and stern voice but I didn't turn back. This is definitely what I want. Aysel has promised to get Liam to his side and I'm glad he is taking my warning seriously but I haven't caught them yet. It was only my assumption.“Let me go after her," I heard Aysel say before I walked out of the room in my high heels.The door was pulled open and then shut. Aysel's footsteps echoed behind me as she walked briskly towards me. She stayed in my line of steps and walked to my front, blocking my view.“What are you doing?" I demanded in a cold tone while looking at Aysel.The
The butler ushered me the moment I got to the doorstep. After leaving Liam's company, I stopped at a restaurant before driving to Father's place.I wasn't surprised when I saw Aysel’s car in the parking lot. She must have run here after I already destroyed her phone. Now that the video will be nowhere to be found, I can't help but sigh in relief. The people I called my family were already sitting in the sitting room and I believe they were probably waiting for me because of the heavy atmosphere in the room. I took off my heels and wore the slippers before making my way to them.“Good evening, Father. Mother," I said with a bow while waiting for his reply.“Emily, how was..."Slap!The sound echoed in the room as I lifted my hand to rub my cheek. I was expecting mother to slap me but I didn't know it would be this fast. Maybe I underestimated her.“How could you, Emily? Why would you slap Aysel and also hurt her hand in the process?" Laura yelled and raised her hand again but this tim
“You knew you caused all this ruckus, Emily. Tell me. What has gotten into you?" Laura asked, seething with anger.Her hand held the fork in a spoon in a tight grip as if she was going to bend it before throwing it at my face.I swallowed the lump at the back of my throat, knowing fully well that I would never give Laura the satisfaction of seeing me weak again.Without replying her, I picked up my phone from the table, including the small purse containing my small makeup.“I will transfer the money for a new phone to Aysel after leaving this place. It will be through bank transfer," I said and I rose from the chair.I heard Aysel scoff before focusing her attention back on me.“And you expect me to believe that? You this fool," Aysel barked at me like a feral dog ready to take a bite.”I told you I would pay for the damages, just like Father said. I don't have any reason to lie," I replied hastily, but before I could turn to leave.Aysel gripped my arm into a tight grip. She was alre
“Get in the car, Emily."I am glad Liam didn't reply but a part of me yearns for his sweet words. Maybe he was going to tell me we can start leaving like a normal couple but that is just my wishful thinking.Liam Nolan will never do anything like that. He is never the type of man to go back on his words but he did it once.When he found out about my pregnancy in the past, he told me he would take care of me till I delivered but all those promises turned out to be fake when he suddenly changed towards me.I got inside the car and sat beside Liam in the front seat. He didn't add anything more but his jaw clenched hard.My body jerked to the front when Liam suddenly started the car and was already driving out.“Are you okay?" He asked in a high-pitched voice, filled with concern and care. I almost fall again for his cool voice.
EMILY'S POV"I already told Thierry to take your car home, I will take you home myself"No. This must be some sort of joke because why would Liam tell me he already told someone else to take my car home.Now, he is volunteering to take me home when he has a place to go to. Aysel is probably waiting for him in the hotel room with red underwear."I don't tell you to do that" I began, placing the coffee back on the table."It's heavy outside Emily. Just come with me when the rain is a little bit heavy." Liam said and took a sip from the coffee."Stop acting as if you have the right over me without telling me first about your plan," I said, my voice rising as I clenched my hand."I won't apologize for that." He said without any remorse. "I never told you to. I said you shouldn't do that again without my consent." I said and looked at him straight."Drink the coffee and let me know when you are ready to leave" Liam said and stood up to leave the room."I thought you needed to be in a plac
EMILY'S POVMy hands clenched into a fist when I realized it was actually Aysel who came in and she was coming towards me intending to know who was inside where I came from. The girl is so persistent and annoying. She even has the guts to show herself in front of me. Really?"So you are still here acting like his slave after all after Father promised to give you his own company. I heard you are going to become the CEO so what are you still doing here?" Aysel asked, trying to walk past me in her high heels but I stopped her with my hand stretched out."You should receive a reply for the stupid words you just uttered, don't you think so?" I asked her and she scoffed, her eyes belittling me. "I am not his slave but you should be ashamed he is not even looking at you. I thought you said you guys were going to marry soon," I asked Chelsea, and her eyes seemed to flutter a bit before she finally relaxed."Yes," she said as she took a step back away from me. "We would have gotten married if
EMILY'S POVFor a second, I could breathe well because I actually thought I was dreaming right now. I mean, how could Liam be reading my novel.My hands itched, and I decided to take a stroll towards what he was reading, my mouth fell open when I saw he also dropped a comment on almost every chapter, and not only that, the account he was using was actually my best reader. He has been following my books for the past six years and yet I didn't even pay more attention to him because I thought guys aren't the type to get invested in online novels.He knew I was writing comics but I never imagined him reading one of them.I shut the laptop and placed it in the nearest table drawer before closing the drawer back. I took the small piece of clothing off the hanger and used it to cover his legs. Looking at his full eyelashes and brows, knots form in my stomach. He looked so beautiful even in his sleep.After making sure the cloth covered him, I wanted to leave but I felt a hand catch my wrist.
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.
