”Hello Emily””Good morning Vee. How was your night?””It was fine, dearest”, Vincent replied and continued.”Emily, do you want me to come and take your phone. We will try to find the IP address somehow, and everyone will know who the person is,” Vincent said, and I agreed with him.”Vincent, don't panic because I am fine. Even when I woke up this morning, I noticed there were more guards.” “I'm fine," I said, trying to reassure him. "I will give you my phone when you are back in the evening. You don't need to come with me today.” I said and rubbed my forehead slowly.Vincent's voice was laced with concern. "Emily, I don't know if that's a good idea. What if this person shows up again, and this time, he decides to show himself while you are alone?" I took a deep breath, trying to sound calmer than I felt. "I'll be fine, Vincent. I promise. Besides, I have to go to work. I'll be safe there."Vincent hesitated, then finally agreed. "Okay, but I'm coming to get you at 4 pm. Don't leav
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 with exci
EMILY'S POVI sat in the car, wondering where Liam was taking me. We had been driving for about twenty minutes, and I was starting to get curious."Liam, where are we going?" I asked, trying to sound casual.Liam smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "You'll see," he said. "Just be patient."I raised an eyebrow, but I didn't press the issue. Instead, I sat back and enjoyed the ride.Finally, we pulled up to a boutique. I looked at Liam in surprise. "A boutique again?" I asked. "What's going on?"Liam chuckled. "I told you, it's a surprise," he said. "But I'll give you a hint. It's actually a party, but I have my reasons for going there."I felt a surge of curiosity, but I didn't ask any more questions. Instead, I followed Liam into the boutique.As we walked in, Liam was greeted by the sales staff. "Welcome, Mr. Liam," one of them said. "We have everything ready for you."Liam smiled, his eyes scanning the room. "Great," he said. "I need a stunning outfit for her, and a silver mas
EMILY’S POV Liam might have called it a masquerade party but the truth is, I didn't actually put my hopes up. Maybe it was because I actually believed nothing could come out of this. However, the moment we walked inside, my jaw dropped when I saw the interior design of the hall. Different artworks were actually painted in another part of the hall while a stunning chandelier hung on the ceiling with different spectra of light coming dispersed out of it A gush of confusion flooded my veins when my eyes took in everyone's dress. It felt as if we were all thrown back to the season of Halloween. “Can I?” Liam asked with his arm curved up. His gaze brought me back to earth and I hooked my palm around his arms. Everything seems to stop when we walk in as if I am the only pretty girl in here. We were even putting on masks and I could barely recognise anyone through the mask if not because they spoke. Was it actually true that it's where a gentleman will probably propose to his wife? I
AYSEL'S POV I stomped my feet on the floor as I walked away from the hall. ”You will never try that again woman. You and I had no relationship again. We broke up years ago if that is what you wanted to hear" I recalled what Liam and a deep frown settled on my face. Liam is never going to give me a chance, and this is one of the theories I have come up with, but that doesn't mean I will let Emily trample on me. Even after telling him she was pregnant for someone else, he still wants her back, and yet he claims that he is not interested in her, which is a blatant lie. He was actually smart in everything but when it comes to relationships, Liam is actually the worst person to catch up to. My back hit the railing as I looked down at the dark world from afar. I puff the smoke into my mouth and let it all out, letting some of it come off my nose as I inhale sharply. ”Care to let me join you?" I heard a voice ask behind me. I turned my head, forgetting the fact that I already took o
AYSEL'S POV I knew that name because it was on the list of the shareholder's father. Liam's father was the second on the list, while a foreign name occupied the third one, and Andrew Jones was the fourth person. Rumour has it that he is from Texas, but who knew he already came down here to Los Angeles? ”Why are you asking about Liam when you know who he is? ”You seemed to be in love with him which is not something I am concerned about. I need a favour from you," Andrew said, and I wondered what it was. ”Which is?" I asked. ”I will let you know when I am done with you?" He said and pushed his length all the way in. With each thrust, I moaned loudly. He was attached to playing with me at first but now he is devouring me whole like a beast. I rest my hand on his shoulder, giving him more access to devour me. ”I am cumming" I said, my eyes half open. I salivated and my body shook when my body finally found the release. I moaned loudly, but he didn't stop. Andrew fuck
Yawning softly, my phone rang and I checked who the caller was. It was my baby Chelsea. My head hurt slightly but I managed to pick up her call. ”Hello, Emily; since you will be going to work today, I decided to help take Xavier to school.." Chelsea said from the other end and I smiled, my heart full. Xavier is okay and that is all that matters. ”Wait, you won't even greet me good morning." I teased Chelsea and I imagined her expression in my head. She will be frowning right now before she finally smiles. ”Well, you should know already that Xander is my priority, Emily." Chelsea said and her words brought a smile to my lips. ”God Chelsea. You are such a traitor. Either way thank you for taking care of him" I thanked Chelsea. “You don't have to do that Emily. Now, get prepared for work before Xavier catches me talking to you. That boy didn't stop asking you" Chelsea responded. “That is why Xavier is my son Chelsea. Let me quickly take my bath and get going my love," I said and
EMILY'S POV “I should see you off. I hope you don't come to this company again. Don't even try to step your feet in here." ”I'm not sure about that. Let's watch and see,” I replied, and that seemed to have hit Aysel's nerve. "Don't play dumb, Emily," Aysel sneered. "You know exactly what I'm talking, about. The company.” She says spelling the word out for me to hear. Father's company. It's mine, and I'm not going to let you take it away from me." She affirmed and I applaud her bravery. I felt a wave of anger wash over me, and I stood up, my eyes locked on Aysel. "That's not true," I said, my voice filled with mockery. "Father left the company to us and he made the promise to hand over the company to one of us. You are only in this position because I left Los Angeles" ”Did you seriously think he would give it to you?" Aysel asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm. ”It's mine, and I'm not going to let you take it away from me Emily. Mark my words. He is my father, not yours," s
EMILY'S POV"I will give you the necklace at the right time, Emily. I love the way it fits your neck Perfectly." Liam said and I wanted to smile right now but I swallowed it back. He should keep trying, maybe things will work out between us."I didn't tell you that I don't know how to get a necklace for myself," I said and stood in front of father office room."I didn't know I was the only man who could give you that because how did you know?" He asked and I wish I could run away right now."Well, Chelsea told me," I lied and he looked at me as if he could read through my lie."Why do I not find your answer convincing." He said and I quickly walked past him."I don't care about your opinion," I said and knocked on the door slightly. "Welcome, Liam," He said and Liam offered a bow. We walked towards the couch to sit down. I didn't bother to sit beside him and father seems to have seen what I am up to."I should have come to meet you straight, Father, but I wanted to see Emily first,"
EMILY'S POV"What are you doing here?" I asked Liam because I didn't expect him to find him in my personal office room this morning.And today at that. It's not that the thought hasn't crossed my mind but coming this early is what I didn't expect.I have been meaning to go to Liam's office room to question him about the necklace today but when I called Ms Linda, she told me no one had spotted Liam this morning.But now, he showed up in my office room, wearing a shirt that exposed part of his muscular chest."What do you think? I came to see how you are coping in your new office room. Also, to check if you miss me or not," he replied, and I should have expected that reply.Good that he even came because I have been wanting to ask about the necklace from him."Suit yourself but there is no coffee or tea for you Liam" I said but before he could reply, a knock came from the door."Come in" I said and one of the staff came in. I already forgot her name but she is working in the sales depar
LIAM'S POV"Oh, you wish?" He replied, his voice hoarse and dead. I wonder if he is even eating well.The prosecutor excused us while Thierry was still outside waiting at the door."What is it that you have to say?" I asked as I adjusted my tie around my neck. "Do you think it's all over if you keep me here?" He asked like a loser."I thought you like this place, isn't that why you refuse to say anything?" I retorted but that didn't seem to work because he smiled."You don't really know who you are dealing with Liam. Where did you keep my boys?" He inquired and I could see a hint of fear in his eyes and curiosity."Is that why you call me here? I am actually a busy man and I have a place to go right now" I said, ready to leave but I heard a light thud on the table."Emily," Andrew called, not saying anything more as he looked at me with a smirk on his face.And that one name made me stop but I didn't let the weakness show. I am more of a pro when it comes to hiding my emotions."If I
LIAM'S POVThierry sent a message to me concerning Andrew who is in the prosecutor's custody. Report came to me that he will soon be charged to court and he keeps insisting that he won't talk until he sees me. All evidence points to him making it hard for his lawyer to defend him. There was no breakthrough for him which is why he decided to maintain his right to be silent.However, he was charged to court and yet, he keeps insisting that he needs to see me, which is why I had to dress up this morning just to see him."Sir, do you think we should at least take his underlings to him? If they confess, he will have no choice but to give in because everyone is against him." Theirry said, though I would have done that but I know it won't work because one of them will eventually take the Fall. They will even deny him all because they want him out by all means."Those guys have been trained not to speak up and instead, remain loyal to him," I said and descended the stairs slowly. It still f
EMILY'S POV"Why would I lie about that?" Vincent said, looking at me and I realized he wasn't joking.Then there is only one person my mind goes to, Liam. Could he be the one who gave me the necklace?If it's someone Chelsea knows then it should be Liam since Vincent denied being the one."Vincent, I'm sorry but you need to excuse me for a while. I need to hurry home because Xavier will be back soon" I quickly said and unlocked the door."When will I see you then?" He asked, trying not to pry too much. "I don't know if we will get to see each other because I might be busy. Thanks for the bouquet" I said and shut the door.Vincent waved at me and watched as I drove the car out. My mind was reeling as I gripped the steering wheel, realization dawned on me. Liam's eyes were filled with mischief yesterday and I should have known the way he acted was suspicious. He saw the necklace and didn't bother asking anything about it.The dance, the videos online, it was all his plan all along a
EMILYS’S POVAysel came back with a cup of coffee for both me and Father. I could see the irritating look on her face when she gave me the coffee but there was nothing she could do. She is still at my mercy because I could change my mind. I know Father wanted to make sure principle was uploaded between us compared to Laura who always tried to make sure I suffered.‘Now that you and Emily have reconciled, can you wait in the other room till I'm done with your sister? I need to discuss it with your sister and you aren’t supposed to be there.’’ Father said but I could notice the blood drained from Aysel's face.“But Dad, I thought I should be there because this is something concerning the company."Maybe you have forgotten I owned this place, Aysel. This is my company and you can't tell me how to run it." Father said, anger evident in his voice as he clenched his hand around the glass cup. "Or have you already forgotten what you did?" Father asked and that seemed to work.Aysel took her
EMILY'S POVJust like what I expected of Aysel. My instinct kept telling me she would not stay idle while I worked at my father's company. After the terrible news about her being a bully, the people despise her in the span of 24 hours."Let her go," Father said and the guards let her be. "You can leave," Father ordered the men.Aysel eyes and mine made eye contact and then she tried to fake the pitiful face again.The moment they left, Aysel walked towards Father and went on her knees. She used the tissue in her hand to blow her nose before raising her head.Woah. She actually came prepared."What are you doing here Aysel? Didn't I tell you not to come back here and you want rumours to spread about you again, then the stock price will plummet?" Father asked and Aysel exclaimed no, sobbing with her cheeks wet.She placed her bag on the floor and placed her hand on her lap. “No Dad. I actually came because I realised what I did was bad,” she said and sniffled. The drama Queen wasn’t d
EMILY'S POVI squeezed my eyes open when I heard my phone ringing. I picked up my phone and checked who the caller was. It was Dad calling. Yes. I almost forgot that I will be joining his company today. "Hello, Dad. Good morning," I said and I heard his voice from the other end."Morning Emily. I hope you are already set to come to the company today." Father asked and I smiled and graced my lips because the truth is, I was actually ready to come and I couldn't wait to see what Aysel's face would look like if I eventually saw me at the company."Yes, Father. I will be coming to the company today before 9. am," I responded and Father chuckled."I hope Aysel will come to her senses soon before it is too late. Why can't she even learn from you?" Father asked but I couldn't reply.I knew he was a forgiving man who would likely take Emily if she became remorseful for her actions."I think she will realise sooner than you expect, Father," I said and got up from the bed. When I looked at the
Aysel's POVMy phone rings, stirring me up from my deep slumber. It was already past 9, and I wondered who could be calling me by this time of the night. With my eyes half closed, I dragged my hands around the bed in search of my phone.When I finally saw it, I checked the caller. It was the reporter I gave the job to. I already forgot I hadn't sent the pictures of Emily and Vincent to him.But the hit killer has sent the pictures to me. I picked up the call and pressed the phone to my ear."Hello. Sorry, I should have informed you that the pictures are ready" I said in a low tone, still trying to get rid of the sleep."Ms Aysel. I didn't call you about that. Have you seen the news?" She asked in a nervous tone."Which news?" I asked as I placed the other side of my cheek on the pillow."The video clip of Ms Emily and Mr Liam dancing." She answered and my heart skipped a beat in shock.The video of Emily and Liam dancing?"I don't know what you are talking about. Hold on" I said and q
