EMILY’S POV What did Liam mean by thanking him? “I don't understand what you are talking about,” I said, hoping he would give an explanation. Liam took out his phone and unlocked it. “I guess I didn't know what happened yet.” He said and whipped his head to where Vincent was standing. The truth is, I think I can now arrange the pieces together. Liam knows my plan. “About how you stage the fall.” He completed it and my shoulder dropped. It took me more than 10 seconds to finally gather myself together. The revelation actually shocked me. I wasn't expecting Liam to say that. How did he know? “You don't have to look frightened or anything. I knew it would be hard to fall when I knew the kind of person. This is like a sort of revenge,” He said, almost revealing all my plans, and I swallowed hard. “Then why didn't you say anything? I would have handled everything myself without your help.” I said out of shock but there was no evidence of it in my voice. “Let's say I did it out of
AYSEL’S POV “Mum, you can't tell me to just sit around when Dad already made it clear that I am no longer allowed to enter the company premises,” I said, my voice usually loud today compared to any other day and I don't know why I was even taking out my anger on Mother when he clearly did her best Still, I am disappointed in her for letting me sleep over in a cell room. “Aysel, Mother will never let that happen, hun. I will talk to your father…” She said, her voice laced with worry but I didn't even care. I cut her off before she could finish her statement. “What? You are still going to talk to Dad. Just like the same way you refused to bring in a lawyer that should have helped me in the interrogation room.” I yelled and yanked her hand away from touching me. “Aysel” She screamed and gripped my shoulder. “I told you it was because he told me the lawyer was on his way. I didn't know it was a lie.” Mother said and swallowed hard. “It was not intentional for me to look at you that
AYSEL'S POV The moment I ended the call, his message came in. I can't believe he wasn't even living that far away from here. I kickstart the car engine and drive out of the compound. A few minutes later, I parked the car In front of the huge gate and honked loudly. Two men walked up to the gate and pulled it open. I drove in slowly and stopped when they instructed me to stop. The men checked my face before allowing me to go in and I drove in. Getting down from the car, I walked towards the entrance and pressed the doorbell gently. The door opened, and I came in; my eyes darted around the room. “I told you to leave now, can't you hear me?” I heard a familiar voice yelling. A girl squealed before running out of the room. She passed me by with her clothes clutched to her hand. Walking towards the sitting room, I saw Andrew putting on his trousers. He took the glass containing the wine from the table and drank from it. “Why are you standing there all alone? Come here,” He said, and
EMILY'S POV Xavier kissed my cheek before going outside with Chelsea because his school bus was already around. I was already done preparing for work when Chelsea came back “What is going to happen now?” Chelsea asked and I puffed my cheeks before exhaling. “I will just go to work like a normal secretary but I won't let him have his way with me,” I said and packed my hair into a bun. “The worst scenario is to inform him I already have a child,”, I said, and Chelsea's eyes almost popped out of her socket. “What?” She asked with her eyes widened. “He won't take that information lightly Emily,” Chelsea said and I know she was actually trying to tell me to reconsider this, but I can't., Liam will have to deal with this information himself and I even wonder why I decided to keep him from him when I can just inform him that Vincent is the father. He already accused me of getting pregnant for him so this won't cause a shock to me. He will finally find a good reason to hate me more “He
LIAM'S POV My ears picked up the sound of my phone vibrating. I picked up the phone and pressed it to my ear. Slowly, I walked up to the glass wall and stood at the side watching the world from above. ”Hello Liam,” Rylan's voice broke through the speaker. “Buddy,” I said and waited for what he had to say. “Concerning What you asked me to do. I am done. Now listen attentively.” Rylan said, and I heard the sound of something rustling. “Okay,” I said, urging him to continue. “Emily has a stalker around her, just like you suspected”, Rylan said in a calm tone and sighed. My expression changed when I heard that and my hold around my phone tightened. If I press the phone tighter, it will break into pieces. “Elaborate more, Rylan, and don't leave out any information,” I said, my voice clenched. “She has been receiving flowers from a stranger and I managed to gather this information from the nearby dashcam Camera. He actually tried to avoid being caught on camera, which means he is n
LIAM'S POV Rylan's call came in again, and I picked it up, causing a distraction as I stood up again from the chair. “Hello”, I said, and Rylan's voice broke through the speaker. “Liam”, He called, a little bit restless. “You were right; there is actually one of them who receives a call outside and finally goes inside the hospital,” Rylan said, and a frown settled on my face. “Name of the Club,” I asked as I rubbed the back of my neck. I am already getting frustrated. I was right after all about the stalker. “RV Clubhouse,” Rylan said and forwarded a message to me. “I just sent the picture to you”, He said, and I moved the phone away from my ear to see who it was. Clicking on the photo, the front of the Club building was sent to me. “Good. Let me pay them a visit.” I said and walked towards my table to take my car key. “Description Liam. I will look for him myself. I have men.” Rylan cut in before my hand could touch the key. My hand hung in the air. I took a silent sigh bef
LIAM'S POV “Do you think you can seriously force me to marry you back?” Emily asked and I drew her closer to me by her hand. Since she was wearing heels, her head almost reached my shoulder. “If I need to force you, then I will. If that is what you want.” I said, and Emily scoffed, followed by a low chuckle. I actually miss the jovial Emily. Even when we were on the verge of getting divorced in the past, I enjoyed the time we used together and our little banter. “You can't have a woman that way, Liam. I keep telling you, you can't.” Emily said and jerked her hand away from my hold. I knew she was not the type to be handled roughly, which is why I am trying to take things slowly with her. At least, with the help of the therapist, I have been able to learn a lot about how to treat Emily. I am doing everything for her so that I won't fail, and tonight, I will still go and visit the therapist myself. “Then do I need to win your heart?” I asked and a silence followed. “Will you stop
EMILY'S POV I never planned to let Liam know this way but I can't take it when he keeps trying to mess with my emotions. The news came as a shock to Liam and his expression was something I couldn't even recognise. This is the second time I will be seeing him getting surprised and terrified. “You have a child?” He asked, his tone dry as if he wasn't a little bit bothered by my confession. “Yes. I have a child. You must have heard the news about how I got pregnant for Vincent. It's true, after all, and I didn't abort the pregnancy.” I said to break him more so he wouldn't think I was joking. I never denied the pregnancy in the first place. “Get out,” He said, his voice unusually calm. I was actually expecting him to yell at me and throw me out, but he did the exact opposite, though he instructed me to leave his office room. “What?” I asked, trying to irk him more. “Leave.” He repeated in a more serious tone. And I did. I left his office room and locked the door. I sauntered
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
