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.
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
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 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 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 POV “I'm done with you, Emily. I never knew you could stoop so low. Bringing a bastard child into my home to claim it's mine?" I felt air suck out of my lungs when my husband, Liam, uttered those words with rage in his eyes. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I held on to the front of my dress. My baby bump couldn't let me stand well but what broke me more was the look Liam gave me. It was filled with disgust and hatred, which made me doubt whatever I was going to say was going to change a thing. "Liam, please, this is our child..." I began but my voice faltered when a slap suddenly landed on my cheek. My gaze became blurry as more tears threatened to escape my eyes. It stung but the person who slapped me was none other than my fake sister. She was the princess while I was nothing but her shadow. “How could you lie to my face?" My sister yelled in front of me with pure hatred in his eyes. She cleaned her hand with a handkerchief as if I were a rag before stomping the handker
EMILY'S POV My heart kept pounding hard as I made my way to the car while Liam's bodyguard got into the driver's seat. “Take me back to the penthouse," I said with bloodshot eyes as soon as I locked the car door. I took a long deep breath, trying to tame the anger that threatened to burst any second. There were three knocks on the car window before I finally heard Liam's voice. “Emily, tell me what is wrong," Liam asked, but I didn't bother to look at him. I was pissed to see him with my sister again after everything he has done. I don't even know how my sister got to know I was in the hospital. I want to leave this place right now. “Won't you get this car out of here right now?" I said to the bodyguard with my voice octave at peak. He stepped on the pedal and drove out of the parking lot at the speed of light. I watched Liam stand in the parking lot through the mirror, but I didn't bother to have any ounce of regret for him. I remember sharing the good news with him in my pas
EMILY'S POVMaybe I heard wrong because Liam suddenly stepped back only to sit on our matrimonial bed. He crossed his long legs over another and undid the tie around his neck.“What do you mean Liam? Why a month?" I asked with uncertainty. The chandelier cast its soft glow on Liam, and he appeared even more attractive.“Just like you said" Liam began and undid the next two buttons of his shirt. His taut muscles caught my eyes and butterflies seemed to flap their wings in my stomach.This was one of the reasons women wished to bow their feet at Liam's feet. He is just too perfect and too handsome and I wasn't an exception to not get affected by his charm.Liam's next words seemed to bring me out of my world, and I shot a glare at him.“We were both forced into this marriage, Emily, and I won't stop you from leaving." Liam declared with confidence.Good. Liam wasn't going to deny the claim about my sister which is fine. I was right all along.“Then why after a month?" I asked without a

LIAM'S POVI parked my car in front of the penthouse and made my way in, Rylan was already waiting for me inside. I had to leave Emily's place at exactly 6 a.m. after making sure she was safe.Without thinking much about what happened last night I pulled the door open and got in. My lead only goes back to one man and he is still in the dungeon."You came late. I hope we still have time" Rylan said, getting up from the couch with a cigarette in between his fingers."I had to make sure she is safe before coming" I rolled up my sleeve and took out my phone from my pocket. I walked towards the safe and punched in the password. I took out the burner phone Scorpion was using and tucked it inside my pocket trousers."Loverboy." Rylan joked and then, his expression turned serious again. "So what are you going to do inside?" He asked and continued, torture him more or kill him?" "I will make him call his boss, that is all," I said and made my way to the underground dungeon while Rylan tagged
EMILY'S POVI found it hard to sleep after Liam left. I couldn't, no matter how much I tried, and guilt kept eating me up.Maybe I shouldn't have acted that way to him.Maybe I should have allowed him to stay since he came here to protect me. Liam knows about the stalker and maybe sooner or later, he will know about Xavier.However, before that could happen, I would have successfully chosen to stay in my father's company. I need to know why Aysel was hell-bent on killing me.I won't be surprised if he was the one who sent the stalker to me. She might have wanted to retaliate but I never thought she could go this far just to make me regret ever humiliating her.John has been in hiding after what happened. If Emily knew about what happened, he would only get angry more. I rose up from the bed and walked towards my window, a shadow loom began the plant. Even in the semi-dark place he was standing, I could make out his features.Suddenly, his head turned in my direction and I closed the
EMILY'S POV It's been an hour since Vincent left but I was still standing by the window, looking at the sky. My back collided with the wall as I let out a deep sigh. I literally thought I was already getting okay not knowing it was all a lie. It all started when I had an accident five years ago. It was when Aysel tried to hit me with her car. I contacted zone out but I tried to overcome it without Vincent knowing since he is always not at home. It stopped after three years of constantly going to the gym, training both my mind and body. It helps me a lot but not until I saw Thomas, the man who inflicted pain on me in the past. The one I thought was my father not knowing it was all a lie. Being shot in the chest right in front of me, I realised the panic set in again that I might lose again in this lifetime only if Aysel is caught or thrown behind bars for the evil things he has done. I took out my clothes and disappeared into the bathroom to take a quick shower. I sit inside the b
LIAM'S POVMaddox pulled the door open for me and I walked inside to see them actually working hard to locate who was stalking Emily."When she got the call, I tried to locate the person and it led me here. It was a warehouse, but I don't know why he is going this far," Rylan said, and my frown only deepened."Is it possible that the guy in the dungeon is lying? What if he rest assured that his sister will be taken care of by his boss if they realize he is nowhere to be found for the past two days?" I asked, and Maddox seemed to agree with me that I was right."Okay, you are right," Rylan said and stood up from his seat. "I also found something through the footage you sent to me. He is actually someone in a high position. I am sure he has been Emily before. He can't just target her or should I say he is doing this because of you?" Rylan explained and I couldn't help but think about what he said."Because of me?" I asked, my eyebrows raised in question, I clearly didn't think of this b
