EMILY'S POV"Wow, Mr Theodore, we didn't know you were actually this good." One of the ladies commented and offered him a bottle of water to drink."I didn't do anything, and we still have more to do",, Mr Theodore sai,d, and everyone agreed with him. I could say he is actually the lead here. I looked at the white team and figured out Liam was sitting casually on the chair with his hands crossed over his chest. His eyes bore into mine, which made me question myself if I had done anything wrong, and since when has he been looking at me that way?Mr Vaughn took the mic again and explained the next game, which also involved two people forming a partner."I will ask each person a question about his partner and you are to answer correctly because the other partner will also be asked the same question," Vaughn said and continued."We will gather information within a few minutes and you have five minutes to decide and choose your own partner," Mr Vaughn concluded.There was no one I had a P
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 POVLiam walked away, leaving me and his father outside. I didn't try to stop him because I knew Liam and his father were like a cat and rat. They aren't on good terms and sometimes, I do blame myself and think maybe it was because his father forced us to be together.I was still angry that Liam kissed me right in front of everyone. I know this was part of the rules in the contract I signed in my past life.We are supposed to act like a real couple whenever we are outside but the moment we stepped into the car or got home, everything changed. I wouldn't hesitate to trample on Liam today, humiliating him was part of my plan of coming here.“Liam is still as cold as ever but I am glad he is warm to you. He can be difficult sometimes, but try to understand him," Liam's father assured me in a warm tone. I wished I could tell him things weren't like what he thought because Liam was in love with my sister, not me. “Thank you, Father. I know you will become close friends at some po
“Woah. I guess everyone could see that. Mrs. Nolan and Aysel are wearing the same dress." The MC spoke into the microphone.I smiled at Aysel who managed to smile back at me. She must be weeping inside now because I remembered how she boasted about how much the dress cost in my past life.She had blabbered that they were just two copies of it and she was probably the first one to get it which was why I begged Chelsea to get the same dress.It was worth the trouble after all, I want to see if her ego has been crushed now. This is just the beginning of Aysel's misery.“This is the definition of a happy family. This is what we call true love between two sisters." The MC continued while the people clapped their hands with a smile on their faces.Aysel walked towards me and pulled me in for a hug. I hugged her back, returning the gesture.“You surprised me, Emily. You should have let me know you will be getting the same dress." Aysel said with gritted teeth. Her voice was barely above a wh

EMILY'S POVLiam settled down beside a beautiful Lady which I hadn't seen before, or should I say she actually created a space for him. That was when I realized there were many faces which I could not recognize around her. Mr Theodore tapped me and I looked at him."I guess you haven't seen them either," he said and I nodded my head."It must have shown in my expression for you to have noticed that," I said, and Theodore replied immediately."I could fathom that was the issue because of the way you keep looking around. They actually came to grace the event from other branches." Mr Theodore said. I smiled and rubbed my thighs slowly. He is right about that because the headquarters was actually located here while there were other branches all over the world."Who is the woman beside the CEO? Is she also among the workers managing another branch?" I asked Mr Theodore without trying to raise suspicion."You are very " I heard Theodore say. The MC interrupted our conversation when he sudd
EMILY'S POVThere was a deep frown on my face when I realized it was actually Liam who called me deep in the night. I wasn't planning to call him back but I could picture his face when he asked me if I was fine. He will never ask something randomly like that unless there is something that triggered it.The question is, what was it?I rose up from the bed and looked through the window but there was no sign of Liam in the vicinity.What am I even thinking about?Did I expect Liam to actually show up in my house all of a sudden?"Come on, Emily, stop thinking in that direction," I whispered in a quiet tone and shut my eyes.I tried to catch some sleep as I rolled on the bed.***Chelsea was the one who greeted me. Good morning, First this morning. She wouldn't stop talking about how she spent the night with her fiance and how much she actually missed him.She knew I love having conversations with her which actually made Chelsea not hold back. "I think we might get married in the next tw
LIAM'S POVAfter listening to what Thomas said, my view of Emily's family became vile, and all I wanted to do was devour each and every one of them until there was nothing left. However, part of me wants Emily to know the truth no matter what. I want her to hear the confession from Laura herself and nothing more.Thinking about the fact that I and Aysel almost did something in the past, I realized how much of a fool I am. I have only loved three women all my life and it starts with my mother, my sister and Emily.Even as a teenager, I have always wanted to be the friend of the eldest daughter who is the most brilliant. I have watched the way the little one tries to bully her sister. However, I began to notice the difference in them as they grew up. The eldest daughter took almost all the traits of their father while the junior did not take everything from her mother.I and Aysel didn't exactly date but she claimed to everyone that we were together. I wanted to get closer to the olde
EMILY'S POVI was on my way to the Chelsea store in order to pick up Xavier, who was already back from school when I took a Left turn only for my phone to ring.I was surprised to receive a call from Vincent. I have been trying to get to him through the phone but his line was unreachable until he called me."Hello, Vee. How have you been?" I asked, hoping that he would answer. "I am fine. Can you meet me at my place today?" He asked and I hesitated for a moment, but my curiosity got the better of me."Okay, I'll be there," I said, trying to sound casual. He ended the call and disconnected the connection of my ear pods.I arrived at Vincent's place and got out of the car. I felt a sense of unease when I got to his place. Something didn't feel right.Vincent greeted me with a warm smile, but his eyes seemed intense as my eyes took in the decorations in the room. At first, I thought he prepared everything for me.The walls were decorated with flowers and red balloons. A large tall cake
LIAM'S POVAfter leaving the company premises, a text from Rylan made me drive to Andrew's company. It is going to be fun to see his shocked face once he receives the two shocking news simultaneously.I was satisfied with the expression I saw on his face; now he would realize I was not someone to toy with, and no one had the right to go after my woman. I do not toy with Emily and if she is to be in pain? I should be the cause and no one else.I drove away from his company and drove back to the hospital. Thierry had informed me that Thomas had woken up. Unlike morning when he was scared, he seems to be calm now.I quickly made my way to his hospital room, eager to hear what he had to say Since he wasn't done in the morning. I know this is shocking news because it seems my suspicion was right after all.I went inside the room, Thomas looked up at me with a mix of fear and determination in his eyes.Thierry excused us and went outside; he actually did a good job today."What do you have
ANDREW'S POVI sat in my office, enjoying the quiet morning hours. My cock was throbbing against my trousers when I saw her picture. Emily is a fine woman and I can't wait to have her suck my dick while I will also ram into her pussy. I dipped my hand inside my pants and grabbed my dick. I began to rub it slowly, my precum licking but it wasn't enough. I want to thrust it inside her warm hole.I could feel the orgasm building up, but my happiness was short-lived when my phone rang, shrill and loud.The call is from one of my assistants. I picked up the call and put it on speaker, still masturbating with my dick."Boss, we've got a problem," my assistant's voice was laced with panic and I stopped. I tucked myself back, but I was still fucking hard."What is it?" I asked, my heart racing with the thought of what could have caused the panic in his voice."Someone's raided the business, and all our men are being taken away," he replied, his voice trembling.My anger flared, and I slammed
AYSEL'S POVI was on my way outside to meet my friends when my phone buzzed with an incoming message. I glanced at the screen, and my eyes widened as I saw the report from the man I had hired to follow Emily. He has always been good at his job which is why I can't discard him.The photos showed Liam and Emily talking in the parking lot, their faces inches apart. My anger flared as I realized they were getting closer to me but they didn't kiss.I think this is more than enough to cause a stir online. Liam would try to take action to bring the photos down, but if a different blog posts it, it won't be a problem.I applied my make-up and put on a baggy trouser with a white top. I forwarded the photos to a reporter I knew, along with a message instructing her to upload the photos with a caption that would humiliate Emily."Secretary tries to seduce her boss," I typed and clicked send.I couldn't help but smile as I imagined Emily's reaction when she saw the photos. She would be shocked, a
LIAM'S POVI sat in my study room, staring at the report on my desk and going through it. Thierry already found a link; Thomas was Emily's foster Father before she got adopted by the Brandon Family. My phone rang and I pushed the file aside and picked up the call."Hello, sir," Thierry spoke,, and his words were transmitted to my speaker. "Yes," I replied."Sir, he has woken up now in the hospital room sir. But there was something off about him; he looked scared, and no one could approach him. I am scared he might have lost his memory." Thierry said and a deep frown etched my face. I think he might be faking it.My curiosity was piqued, and I felt a sense of urgency wash over me. "I will be there," I said and ended the call. I grabbed my car keys and headed out to the hospital, the VIP section specifically where Thomas was.I took the back elevator and went into Thomas's room, I was struck by the beeping machines and sterile smell. Thomas's eyes were wide with fear, and he was mutte
