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
AYSEL'S POVIt's been over six hours I have been in the hotel room but there was still no sign of him. At first, I had a doubt that he hadn't seen my message, but I was a little confused that Emily might have hidden the paper from Liam.I took my phone from the bedside and dialled Liam's number, but he didn't pick up. I called his line several times before dropping the phone back on the bed.Liam is not coming, and he already sees the message, which is why he is ignoring my calls. If only there was anything I could say to make him realize Emily is nothing but a slut but there was no way for me to do that. He believed her over me and showed care towards her compared to when we were even together. My phone buzzed, and I checked who sent the text. My cheeks heated up when I saw Liam's name flashed across the scene. I clicked on it and checked the content of the text."When the rain stops falling, you should go home" I read the text out loud and chuckled in shock.I dropped the phone an
LIAM'S POVA smirk graced my lips when I remembered the way Emily acted today at the office. I was a little bit suspicious that she already read the letter Aysel left behind, but she proved me right by telling me that I had a place to go. My car key jingled in my hand while my eyes trailed to her room window. I will only leave until she turns off the light that shows she is about to sleep.A slow love music played gently while the rain already stopped falling. I know Xavier is not at home but I have been looking forward to meeting him again at the school. It's going to be a surprise if I show up as his father but I sincerely want to treat him well because I was absent during his birth.The guilt won't stop eating me up unless Emily forgives me, which I doubt she will. She is so stubborn and hardly lets go of grudges, which was a trait I didn't notice until she suddenly left when I told her.I still regret that moment now, and the guilt is still there, beating me every day, reminding
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 rested my back against the Porsche while I occasionally glanced through my wristwatch. It's already past 6 P.M. but Emily hasn't come out since I stood outside. It's unlike Emily to get this late at dressing up because she has always been quick.Everything about Emily today has been full of surprises and it makes me wonder if she somehow hit her head against the hard floor during the car accident.I wasn't even sure if this was Emily's way of paying me back after the fruitless marriage of two years we both had or because of the loveless marriage.She even accused me of cheating with her sister which was something I couldn't deny because Aysel has been trying everything possible to make me send me green signals.I will do anything for Emily but not divorce. Divorce is never an option and not having sex with Emily...No, I won't call it sex. Making love to Emily is something I will never get tired of. Sex with Emily has always been amazing and it took me a great effort not
EMILY'S POV The time seemed to stop the moment Liam crashed his lips over mine. Maybe I was hallucinating but I wasn't sure either if this was an illusion. Though it felt so real. His mint smell enveloped me, throwing me into a whirlwind of emotions while my heart pounded loudly against my ribcage. Goosebumps spread across my exposed skin, and I shivered against his tall frame. His free hand rested on my waist and I felt so small, so powerless and fragile against Liam's chest. Liam would never kiss me. He never did except when we were having sex, but what changed? I shook the stupid thought that filled my head, almost making my head fuzzy away. I pressed my hand on his chest, trying to push him away but Liam didn't bulge. Who am I kidding? Liam has spent most of his leisure time in the gym. There was nothing he was not good at, even the kissing part. My hormones took charge, and I moaned into the kiss like molten magma. The sound that escaped my lips scared me because Liam sudd

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,
