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
Vincent bit his lower lip as he released his hand from my waist. My lips were still parted, forming an O because I never expected to see Vincent in Los Angeles.“You are still as clumsy as back then, Emily," Vincent muttered while he nervously rubbed the back of his neck.“Vincent?" I muttered again with uncertainty and a smile spread across his lips.He is still as handsome as ever but a lot of things have changed about Vincent. He is no longer the small boy who walks around with a wet nose. The suit he wore hugged his frame perfectly. It gave the impression that he was working in a big company. I just kept staring at him while he smiled before ruffling my hair like the good old days.“You are now a big woman Emily. How are you doing?" Vincent asked, smiling, and I laughed out loud because it was funny.“Did you expect me to tell you, oh V, I miss you because you didn't even ask of me," I Said mimicking a dry tone and Vincent.My heart warmed in my chest seeing my childhood friend in
“Who is that man that escorted you out, Emily?" Liam asked for the third time with his forehead forming deep creases.So he has been watching us since I came outside with Vincent. My heart palpitated in my chest but I steeled myself.It's just a harmless question but a part of me proves to be stubborn. I couldn't tell him there was nothing between us, so I replied in the best way I could.“It's none of your business," I said, dropping the bag in my hand beside me and inhaling deeply.Maybe it would have ended if I told him Vincent was my childhood best friend but I was curious and I wanted to know where this conversation would lead.“Is he one of the men you promise to have a night with? Is that why you refused to answer my question?" Liam asked with the tone of his voice raised.My shoulder slumped when I realized Liam would never believe anything I said. Maybe that will make things even between us. Despite trying to keep a composed expression, his enraged voice shattered my existence
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."
“I’m glad to know she is okay. Maybe I can come tomorrow. Perhaps, ask for her an apology.” Mr Brandon said and I chuckled. He is a very honest man.”I have a lot to say to you. Maybe you could arrange a meeting.” Mr Brandon proposed and I queried my brows.“Of course sir, I would like to know if you will be free tomorrow. Then I can come to you.” I said.”I am free tomorrow. I will see you at the hospital.” Mr Brandon said. I parted my lips to reply but he beat me to it.“Thanks, Liam.” ”I should be thanking you for raising her for me to marry.” I said like a drunken man ready to have up his life.”Guess you didn't want the divorce anymore. I will speak to you tomorrow” Mr Brandon said.“Alright, sir”, I said before hanging up the call.I took another drag from the cigarette and dropped it on the floor before rubbing it with my shoe.I turned my attention back to the atmosphere and everything appeared black except for the small street light. I walked back inside the hospital after t
LIAM'S POVI walked out of Emily's hospital room, and despite that, every bone in me screamed for dominance. It took me a great will to leave Emily's room without ripping Vincent's arm off when he touched her.Never will I think that a day will come when Emily will ever be in danger. I have always believed I will be there to catch her whenever she is about to fall but I was wrong. She almost lost her life to that bitch clothed in human form.And now, there she was lying in the hospital bed. My phone rings inside my pocket and I fish it out quickly, only to see Thierry's name flashed on the screen.”Hello Boss. I got all the necessary footage but I didn't see who caused the fall. It felt as if the camera footage was wiped off the camera." Thierry said, making my brows furrowed in confusion.My hand clenched around the phone when I heard Thierry. This won't stop me from tearing Aysel apart.”Are you going to tell me you didn't find any clue at all?" I asked in a ragged voice.”The peopl
“I have a very important information to pass across to you but in exchange you will need to give me 20 million dollars" My brows furrowed, forehead forming deep creases as I read the message.No one has my contact except four excluding the people in my place of work because this is a new number. My plan was to go home and rest while I wait for the school bus to drop Xavier from school.I hesitated whether to call this unknown number or just ignores the message. But suddenly, my phone vibrated in my hand and there was an incoming call.Looking at the number, a realization dawned on me, seeing that it was the same number that just texted me. Breathe in and out of my nostrils, I called the number and a familiar voice boomed through the speaker.“Emily. Do you recognize me?" The voice said and it didn't took me long to recognize who the owner of the voice is. It was a haunting memory I actually wished to Ignore and forgot but everything came rushing back when I picture the face in my hea
I should see you off. I hope you don't come to this company again. Don't even try to step your feet in here."”I'm not sure about that. Let's watch and see,” I replied, and that seemed to have hit Aysel's nerve."Don't play dumb, Emily," Aysel sneered. "You know exactly what I'm talking, about. The company.” She says spelling the word out for me to hear. Father's company. It's mine, and I'm not going to let you take it away from me." She affirmed and I applaud her bravery.I felt a wave of anger wash over me, and I stood up, my eyes locked on Aysel. "That's not true," I said, my voice filled with mockery. "Father left the company to us and he made the promise to hand over the company to one of us. You are only in this position because I left Los Angeles" ”Did you seriously think he would give it to you?" Aysel asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm. ”It's mine, and I'm not going to let you take it away from me Emily. Mark my words. He is my father, not yours," she barked at me, and
“What is my schedule this morning?" Liam asked and I turned to face him with my two hands crossed in front of me.“You have a meeting with the company shareholders in the next two hours," I said, looking at him while Liam's eyes were still fixated on the screen.”Next,” He said still not looking up.I blinked my eyes and parted my lips. “You have an appointment with Mrs Bridget at exactly 2 pm and it will be held in your office room,” I explained.”Next.””The CEO of K & Tee company also scheduled a meeting with you and it will last for an hour.”“Next,” Liam said and I sighed. I already memorized his schedule for today, but who knew that would be the first thing he would ask me this morning?I took a deep breath and tried to rack my brains for what I missed.“Next”, Liam repeated, and this time, he finally looked at me.If I thought I had seen Liam angry, then I was wrong because if looks could kill, I would be six feet under the ground.”I think that is all Mr. Nolan.” I replied in
I was about to make an excuse to leave and get some fresh air when Liam suddenly took a step towards me. I took two steps back but he wasn't going to back down. I kept walking back, not knowing what was wrong, until Liam pinned me to the wall, and a smile graced his lips.”Why are you so easy to read?” I tried to protest, but he just smiled and kept dancing."I want to go and meet Vincent. Stop trying to fuck with me," I insisted, trying to push him away, but he held my hands and placed them on his shirt.But Liam just laughed, and his one of hands circled my waist. “When did you see him?l," he asked, his eyes glinting with amusement.Just as I was starting to get frustrated, the music stopped, and a man was standing on the stage.Liam released me but he didn't let go of my hand. The man standing on the stage is actually one of the men in this party. He was also wearing a mask. He pulled it off and everyone roared and cheered when they realised it was the Famous CEO of Deleesh Mobile
