“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.
“Kiss me, Emily and you will have the key," Liam said with a smug smile.I knew it was just a simple word, but it made my heart beat rhythmically against my chest. Just a kiss but I don't think Liam deserves it.He towed my car away only for me to see it at the garage. Liam must have followed me and he already knew I was angry.Normally, Liam knows I want the keys right now. Maybe he already guessed I needed the piano for something important.“What games are you playing again? You agreed to give me the key." I said in a calm tone.Liam shook his head blatantly while he raised his finger in motion for me to stop.”I didn't agree but I told you to follow me," Liam replied me in his calm, deep voice and fuck, he was right.“I only need the key. We are already divorced, and I am still here because of your father. You don't have to keep passing your boundary." I explained with my eyebrows furrowed.My hands are no longer on my hips, but now I clasp my palms together while I look at Liam wit
I actually thought Liam wouldn't follow me, but the devil was even the one who showed me where the room was. I stepped in without sparing Liam a glance as I walked towards the piano bench in the semi-dark room.The large curtains were drawn a little bit back which made me wonder if Liam came to this room in the past.Liam switched on the light while I sat quietly on the comfy chair in front of the piano. The white light illuminated the room, and I wish I could relish in the beauty of the room, but I know why I came here.I looked behind me to see Liam already leaving the room but I was wrong because he suddenly shut the door.With a sigh, I said, “Are you not going to leave? Aysel is waiting for you." “That is jealous Emily speaking. I owned the house, remember?" Liam responded in a playful tone. He walked towards the couch pushed to one corner of the room and sat down.For real, he is in a good mood, unlike any other day. “You can just give me some privacy," I managed to say before
LIAM'S POVThe drive to the club took me a lot of hours before arriving at the destination. Rylan had already dropped a message that he was in the club, but I ended up leaving the house because my emotions were in turmoil. I could feel my heart weigh with guilt when I saw Emily playing the piano in the room. She seemed so engrossed in whatever song she was playing, but it felt as if I had heard that melody somewhere.Undoubtedly, this wasn't because my dead sister also loves playing the piano, a fact that remained hidden till today. However, it was because Emily also played the piano with a smile on her face, and this time she wasn't faking it but she also cried.I don't know why she did but part of me was curious to know whatever reason it was for shedding that tear.The car pulled at the garage before I stepped out of the car. It was already dark and the city of Los Angeles was already bustling with different neon lights and street light positioned on the side road.Burying my emoti
EMILY'S POV My breath stiffened when I heard the door creak softly. I knew I was supposed to be sleeping, but I woke up in the middle of the night because of the nightmare I had. I pretended to be asleep when I heard the faint echo of his footsteps. It was none other than Liam. He doesn't have to speak for me to know he is the one. But what is he looking for in my room?Annie already told me Liam left the mansion, but why is he back in my room in the middle of the night?The bed dipped because of his weight on the bed, and I steeled myself, not daring to make a move.His mint smell invaded all my senses and I relaxed when he suddenly hugged me from behind.“You are messing up with my head, Emily and you aren't even trying," Liam said in a whisper but I fucking heard every word that came out of his sleep.Funny to realize that whenever I sleep with you, it's different. And no demons are chasing me in my dream.If my eyes were opened right now, I would have rolled my eyes at him becau
The guards were already standing outside the mansion while Thierry was missing. I know he is probably with Liam right now which is why I make my way towards the gym building. The grass on the ground made my legs ticklish but I was more concerned about seeing Liam and his expression once he finally saw what I was wearing.The gym door was left wide open which made me walk in without having to knock to announce my presence.I made my way inside and saw Liam punching the bag in the gym room. His upper body was left bare while sweat dripped down his body. My fragile heart skipped a beat when he finally shifted his gaze to me. His hot gaze traveled down my body before returning to my eyes again.I shrugged my shoulders and walked in deeper. I wasn't dressed like someone who came to exercise in the gym room. Instead, I appeared to be a thorn in the flesh of Liam because he couldn't stop looking at me for like three minutes.Becoming uncomfortable and picking the smallest decibel on the fl
Liam was already done taking his bath. He came out wearing a round polo shirt with a pair of jean trouser that was a little ripped. The clothes fit Liam perfectly and I wonder if there is anything Liam doesn't look good in.Even if he wore a rag right now, I am sure a lot of people will recognize him as the CEO of the LN group of companies.I knew I was supposed to refuse to come with Liam but instead, I followed him in the same car while Thierry drove the car. “Are you still not going to divulge the information now that we are on the road?" I asked Liam with a smug smile.“It's not as if I can get down from here right now. We are already on the road." I added looking at Liam beside me, whose attention was somewhere else.He held the tab in his hand and continued to scroll through it. I know Liam is a busy man, but where is he taking me while also engrossed in whatever he is busy doing?I didn't bother to repeat myself, knowing fully well we would arrive at the destination soon.How
I stopped breathing the moment I stepped out of the dressing room. I don't know if it was because of the way the dress fit me perfectly like it was made for me. I just need to tell Chelsea I won't be wearing the dress.Meanwhile, I became tongue-tied when my gaze suddenly fell on Liam instead of Chelsea.“Holy shit!" Chelsea exclaimed like the psycho she was, but I couldn't even look at her.. instead, my gaze was locked in Liam's, whose expression became unreadable because of the way he looked at me from head to toe.He was drinking in my appearance and I became uncomfortable. Liam shifted in his seat and moved his finger to his jaw, rubbing it slowly. He was supposed to compliment the dress and let me know if it was okay or not, but he just didn't say anything.“Is there another dress she can try on?" Liam said with uncertainty and only then did I realize I was holding my breath.“I think I love this," I told Chelsea, who frantically smiled at me with a wink.I looked at her from the
Knock!And my heart nearly jumped out of my chest when I heard another knock. My eyes widened as I walked briskly towards Liam and dragged him by the collar of his shirt.His face was marred with amusement but it disappeared as if it wasn't just there a minute ago.Maybe I was actually hallucinating right now because how in the world did I manage to drag Liam across the room.“See Liam. Let's forget about the games you played in front of everyone while we were eating.” I said, the words rushed out of my lips. ”Georgia is at the door right now, you will have to do as I say.” I said, my hand not leaving his collar, nor did I miss the way his eyes raked my body.Another knock came, and I lost my cool. I opened the wardrobe and pushed Liam in without batting an eyelid. I was expecting him to have a look of shock, but instead, he was actually looking at me as if he could read through me. It was as if he got my plan that I was actually trying to pay him back the same way I had to hide in th
Georgia unlocked the door of the room as if to distract herself. She just asked me a question, and truth be told, I'm debating in my mind about how to reply her.“Why did you think he had fallen for me? I don't think he has a heart to the extent of falling in love with someone like me” I replied, trying not to disclose my past relationship to her. She was the same girl who visited Liam all in the name of having sex. “Come on, Emily,” She said, giving me a light tap on the shoulder before pressing the switch and the light from the bulb brightened the room, swallowing every darkness present.”Did you know how many women were dying just to be in the same space as Liam?” Georgia asked and I had to flash back. I was once like that too.”We all know he is a very handsome man and a successful man at that. He is every woman's dream.” She made that mental note, and I want to agree with her, but I am actually a successful woman. Though Liam wouldn't be aware right now I knew he already had a d
I stopped eating when I heard what Liam said. Georgia stood up and smiled at me. “I will show you to your room,” she said, and I replied okay. “You can show Liam to his room while I assist Emily here,” Georgia said and beckoned me to follow her. I carried my small purse, ready to leave, when Liam suddenly said.“I would love to share the same room with her,” Liam said and my mouth opened in shock. The only person who didn't appear surprised in the room was Liam.Even Andrew had to suppress his emotions by raking his hand through his hair in a slow move but I caught the little action.“Emily, What do you say?” Liam asked with his head cocked to one side with his eyebrows raised in question.Anyone would think it was actually a question but I know Liam wasn't expecting me to say no. He actually meant it when he said he would like to have us sleep in the same room. But then, I didn't forget when he said he would love to have a woman brought to his room.He is still a promiscuous man whi
“I actually forgot to ask what your name was before,” Liam said while I felt someone touch my leg underneath the table. My eyes grew wide, my heart beating fast when the leg trailed up towards my thigh, and I went rigid.I looked at Liam's way and I swear, he wasn't smiling at me or doing anything. He just kept eating his food while he waited for Mrs Jones's son to say something.”Ohh, my name is Andrew Jones.” He said, and I frowned when I heard what he said just now.He clearly said his name was Andrew Jason when he Introduced himself to me this morning at the hall. Maybe he made a mistake. Jones and Jason are actually the same.“And how is Georgia related to you, if I may ask, and what makes you think Emily is not interested in me? I love women who play hard to get.” Liam said with a straight face while his leg trailed my legs up.“I am interested in her and soon we will be dating officially. I think Ms Emily is not interested in you because she wasn't contributing to what you said
Okay.Someone should please tell me that this is a dream but it wasn't.”What did you just do!" I heard a female voice demanded rashly and I swallowed hard, my heart beating fast in my chest like a freight train.It felt as if I was bathing naked with very icy water that made my skin crawl. Did I just pour the wine on the Lycan's king suit? And to make things worse, Vera was actually beside me when it happened. “I'm...I'm sorry," I said aloud, my lips quivering. I went on my knees, I quickly regained my senses and brought out a white handkerchief to dab the Lycan king thigh neat, but the future Luna slapped my hand away.“You think you can touch him with that filthy hand?" She demanded harshly. My side almost hit the floor but I staggered forward with my head bowed deeply. At least, I have been taught to always act as a slave to the superior, but suddenly, my eyelids flutter,r and cold liquid splashes on my face.“I told you to leave and you are still here?" She asked, resting her
I brought out my phone and decided to text Chelsea instead. After sending the message, I took my phone back inside my purse. Liam and I didn't talk until we got to the destination. Thierry got down first and unlocked the door for me to step out. I was surprised by his kind gesture. I didn't even realise when I said Thank you.Liam looked at me as he adjusted his shirt. He walked inside the restaurant while I followed him closely. Few people were eating but compared to Los Angeles, I doubt people will recognise Liam just like that.We both sat down on the same chair while the waitress told us to order. We ordered food and ate in silence.”I will pay the bills," Thierry said and followed the waitress. When we were done we all left the restaurant and moved to the venue where the meeting will be held.Thierry drove the car inside and parked it at the front of the building. The moment we got down, different cameras were positioned in front of us and we took one or two pictures. While Lia
“I have decided to take her in but the Elders need to have a meeting with me. If she is someone they will choose" Lycan King Zayn and my heart only beat wildly against my rib cage. It felt as if ice water was poured on me. He is going to take in another woman in place of me. His Beta reply came almost immediately. ”They have always wanted you to take in a woman from a powerful family. This is their long-awaited wish, my king." It's happening. This is why he refused the bond. I am just a slave to him.”You will have to meet me here when it's 10 am sharp. Tell the princess to come to my chamber." LYCAN King Zayn said.”Yes, my king. And I needed to report what I saw yesterday. The guards who tried to rape Davina are in the dungeon. What should I do with them?" The Beta asked but a frown settled on my face. If they are talking about me, are the guards the Beta was referring to the two guards I saw yesterday?”I should come down myself. You can leave," The Lycan King said without givi
I smiled when I found myself running wild in the field of flowers while Xavier continued to laugh while a man chased him. I couldn't picture his face, which made me assume this was a dream. A dream I never wish to wake up from.However, I felt something move beside me. At first, I thought I was still in the dreamland, but then something hard poked my thigh, and my eyes fluttered open. I was greeted by the sunlight that shone through the glass wall. Inhaling the smell of mint into my nostrils, my eyes became wide open when I realized what was going on. I looked beside me and saw Liam's face snuggled inside my neck like a fucking parasite as if he was going to suck me dry.How did we end up in this compromising position? His eyes fluttered open, and I lost my cool but not my confidence. He was surprised to find himself beside me.”Morning, Emily" Liam said, his morning voice deep and husky, which made me realize I rarely get to listen to Liam's morning voice while we were together.He
I walked away from Liam, descending the stairs as I made my way down. Taking another turn, I didn't go inside the hall instead, I walked towards the fountain surrounded by beautiful flowers. Closing my eyes, I breathe in the sweet scent of the flower and spread out my arms wide in the air. ”Heavenly” I muttered and kissed the air At first, I thought this was a hotel, but it was actually not a hotel because they were building built the same way surrounding the house. Whoever owns this building must be a billionaire. That's the only answer I could come up with. Walking deeper inside the field of flowers, I spotted something moving in the field of flowers. I swallowed hard, not going to run away as I walked closer to it. To my greatest surprise, it was actually a human being and a woman at that. ”Hello, are you alright?” I said aloud for the woman to hear and she stretched her back the moment she heard my voice. “Is everything alright?” I asked, and then she turned to face, an
