“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
“I hope you didn't take her words to heart, Emily?" Chelsea asked, playfully pouting her cheeks.I nudged her side with my elbow, still looking at the direction Aysel disappeared to.“I think I have gotten used to her tantrums," I replied in the best natural way I could. Actually, I wish I could believe that, but, indeed, I haven't gotten used to Aysel's attitude because I didn't know what she was capable of. Still, I didn't want to bother Chelsea too much because she also had her life to live. If I had known it was going to be so difficult like this, I wouldn't have started the fight.“I love the fact that you stood up to her, Emily. A part of me has been waiting to see this. I don't have to worry about you anymore. My baby finally grew up," Chelsea ranted before ruffling my hair with her hand.“Who told you I am your daughter, huh? What's with the motherly protection?" I asked Chelsea and this time I was looking at her.“You can't understand even if I explain, Emily but my mind is
However, Father nodded curtly and turned to face me. “She is going to confess right now, but please pardon me, Emily,” Father said and I decided to take his words seriously.This is the second time my father will ever ask me for a favour after the arranged marriage I had with Liam. Even now, he regrets leaving me with him and he rarely calls me after our divorce.”Ms Aysel, are you admitting that you voluntarily pushed Miss Emily down?” the cop asked Aysel and tears trickled down her face as she swallowed hard.“I… I did it,” Aysel said, and I looked at her puffed cheeks as she continued to sob hard like a kid.”I pushed Emily down the stairs,” Aysel said and shot daggers at me when she said that.She must have thought I was going to flare up in her anger but I didn't.“Ms Emily. Do you want us to press charges against her?” The officer asked and for a minute, I recalled what my father said before.“let her go. I only want her to tell the truth.” I said and decided to gamble with her
Emily's pov”You were both caught by the CCTV camera walking down the stairs. And the nearby camera caught you two arguing before you suddenly pushed her down. I believe you know this is an attempted murder?” The cop said and blood drained from Aysel's face, her face flushed red.“I didn't push her down,” Aysel said with gritted teeth and looked at my way. “Tell them I didn't push you. You are trying to manipulate me from telling the truth Emily. I didn't push you down,” Aysel said with her raised at me, but I didn't flinch.This is exactly the kind of emotion I wanted from her. She should feel the same pain I passed through when she pushed me down the stairs. I guess this incident must have jogged her memory back to realize this has happened before but instead of me in her position, she is in my position. “I have other evidence to back up Miss Emily's claim,” the attorney beside me said and took out some files from her bag.She gave it to the Cop and read what was in it aloud for bo
EMILY'S POV“My lawyer will be joining her soon,” she said and walked inside to meet her daughter.My lips widened with a smile, hearing his reply. “It is going to get interesting soon", I said, and not long after, a black van was parked in front of the police station, and high school girls, including college boys, got down.“Where is the bitch. Get her out now!" One of the girls screamed wildly with a crate of eggs sitting on her hand."Get her out! Get her out!" Others chorus in unison."Emily. Don't tell me you did this?" Vincent asked, his eyes calculative as he checked my expression for any hint but I didn't reveal any."Let's get in," I said and walked inside the building. "I didn't know I had crazy fans like this," I added quickly.The police will try to handle the girls outside while I will try to steam things up inside. Vincent approached one of the cops who directed us to where Aysel was being held. Laura was standing outside the receptionist hall while I assumed Aysel was
EMILY'S POV“You this bitch,” Laura said with gritted teeth, her body shaking as she held onto my hand. “You think I will let you go just like that?” She said mockingly and a smirk graced the corner of my lips.She must think I am still the same little weak girl. Well, I am the one in charge now, she can just disappear for all I care.I know she hasn't seen the news yet. Sooner or later, it will circulate the company premises and the shareholders will soon be aware of what kind of person Aysel is.Father might try not to let everyone know about what is going on but I am sure she won't be able to keep her position anymore.“Oh, Mother,” I said in a mocking voice, with my eyes filled with concern. This is just the tip of the iceberg for me. Acting has always been what I would have done if studying in school didn't work out.“I'm sorry but I am in a hurry right now,” I said and took a glance at my wristwatch. “Can I come back to meet you later? I have an urgent matter to attend to.” I sa
The light filtered in through the open window. My phone rang loudly on the bed while I was busy packing the clothes I wore last night inside the bag. Vincent was the one who helped me get a new set of clothes to wear this early morning before I could get discharged. ”Pick the call, I will be outside waiting for you” Vincent said after making sure I didn't forget anything. He took the bag I packed in my clothes away. I wanted to laugh but I actually held myself back. Perhaps, Vincent might already know who was calling which was why he decided to leave. Standing beside the bed, I took the phone and checked the caller ID. It was Chelsea. With my hand clenched around the phone, I gritted my teeth together. How could Vincent tell Chelsea what happened just like that? The phone stopped ringing only for me to realise that I hadn't picked up her call. Chelsea's call came in again and I had to pick it this time. “Emily. How are you?” Chelsea's panic voice filled my eardrum and I bit my
EMILY'S POVVincent was surprised to see me wide awake when he came in. I try to calm breathing, not ready to reveal anything about Liam coming in.I just guess Vincent will be pissed if he heard about Liam mentioning the stalker. Could it be that he probably followed me here?How I wish I could just see his face.For him to know about where I am, he would have been watching me for a while but I am sure Xavier will be safe because he is with Chelsea.“It has been confirmed that Aysel was arrested and she is now in the Police custody" Vincent explained, stopping me from thinking and my brows furrowed in confusion. I actually thought it was probably a lie when he said that but I know sooner or later, it will be announced. I am more surprised because I told John to arrest Aysel tomorrow, not today. If she was arrested this afternoon, John should have notified me about the change in plan.Vincent doesn't know about my plan and he was here all through so he can't be the one who arrange
Chelsea barged inside the sitting room in her high heels, her loud voice boomed through the room.“Babe tell me, you are ready for this." She said as she dropped her bag on the floor.Chelsea raised her hand high, giving me that killer look. I didn't get a thing about what she was telling me, and she must have sensed it because she parted her lips again. “I have the latest gist for you", Chelsea whined as she tugged on her dress. My eyes narrowed because it felt as if she was speaking in parables which I didn't get.“I don't get what you are telling me, and good morning, big head. You didn't even bother to call me this morning," I said while she brought out her phone and posed for the camera.“I am sure your boyfriend didn't see you before leaving the house," I said, and lose the bun while I used my fingers to massage my scalp.“I told him I have a place to go and I won't be seeing any man," Chelsea said in a dramatic tone. ”I can't believe he actually allowed you to go like this.
Instead, he pushed two fingers in and I rolled my eyes when I saw the white dot forming.My legs shook when he increased his thrust faster, and I began to moan softly. One hand holding his shirt while my free hand holds the railing.Anyone passing by could hear me moaning softly but I didn't care. I didn't mind. I just want to enjoy the feel of his hand against my pussy.His hand touched my clit and I melted like a jelly. Before I could even stop it. I already mentioned Liam's name. I was so close.So close to cumming but then his thrust became sloppy before he finally stopped.”What are you do..." I couldn't finish my words when he suddenly carried me, sweeping me off my feet.His footsteps hammered against the hard floor. It was a hotel suite and I think he was actually looking for a vacant room.He kicked one of the doors open with his leg and dropped me on the bed with a light thud.My hands rest on the bed as I rest on my elbow.”What? Are you scared?" He asked and took off his
"Did you know what happened to her when you were separated?" He asked with his forehead furrowed with brows.”I do not need you to tell me that." I said, acting nonchalant even though I wanted to know everything that happened.”As if you could dig it up yourself. I love Emily, Liam not in the way you could ever imagine. I will take care of her myself," Vincent declared, clearly challenging me, but I can assure him that he will fail.”I hope you will still have the nerves to say that when I uncover every dirty little secret you have." I said and left, not giving him the chance to talk.Rylan's name came to my mind and I called him immediately.“Hello buddy", I said, and he answered immediately.“I seriously need your help, Rylan, and you need to do it because I am asking nicely," I said and inhaled sharply."What is it?" He asked and I couldn't be more calm.”I need you to find every information on Emily from five years ago." I said and I heard a frustrated sigh from the background."
