EMILYS’S POVAysel came back with a cup of coffee for both me and Father. I could see the irritating look on her face when she gave me the coffee but there was nothing she could do. She is still at my mercy because I could change my mind. I know Father wanted to make sure principle was uploaded between us compared to Laura who always tried to make sure I suffered.‘Now that you and Emily have reconciled, can you wait in the other room till I'm done with your sister? I need to discuss it with your sister and you aren’t supposed to be there.’’ Father said but I could notice the blood drained from Aysel's face.“But Dad, I thought I should be there because this is something concerning the company."Maybe you have forgotten I owned this place, Aysel. This is my company and you can't tell me how to run it." Father said, anger evident in his voice as he clenched his hand around the glass cup. "Or have you already forgotten what you did?" Father asked and that seemed to work.Aysel took her
EMILY'S POV"Why would I lie about that?" Vincent said, looking at me and I realized he wasn't joking.Then there is only one person my mind goes to, Liam. Could he be the one who gave me the necklace?If it's someone Chelsea knows then it should be Liam since Vincent denied being the one."Vincent, I'm sorry but you need to excuse me for a while. I need to hurry home because Xavier will be back soon" I quickly said and unlocked the door."When will I see you then?" He asked, trying not to pry too much. "I don't know if we will get to see each other because I might be busy. Thanks for the bouquet" I said and shut the door.Vincent waved at me and watched as I drove the car out. My mind was reeling as I gripped the steering wheel, realization dawned on me. Liam's eyes were filled with mischief yesterday and I should have known the way he acted was suspicious. He saw the necklace and didn't bother asking anything about it.The dance, the videos online, it was all his plan all along a
LIAM'S POVThierry sent a message to me concerning Andrew who is in the prosecutor's custody. Report came to me that he will soon be charged to court and he keeps insisting that he won't talk until he sees me. All evidence points to him making it hard for his lawyer to defend him. There was no breakthrough for him which is why he decided to maintain his right to be silent.However, he was charged to court and yet, he keeps insisting that he needs to see me, which is why I had to dress up this morning just to see him."Sir, do you think we should at least take his underlings to him? If they confess, he will have no choice but to give in because everyone is against him." Theirry said, though I would have done that but I know it won't work because one of them will eventually take the Fall. They will even deny him all because they want him out by all means."Those guys have been trained not to speak up and instead, remain loyal to him," I said and descended the stairs slowly. It still f
LIAM'S POV"Oh, you wish?" He replied, his voice hoarse and dead. I wonder if he is even eating well.The prosecutor excused us while Thierry was still outside waiting at the door."What is it that you have to say?" I asked as I adjusted my tie around my neck. "Do you think it's all over if you keep me here?" He asked like a loser."I thought you like this place, isn't that why you refuse to say anything?" I retorted but that didn't seem to work because he smiled."You don't really know who you are dealing with Liam. Where did you keep my boys?" He inquired and I could see a hint of fear in his eyes and curiosity."Is that why you call me here? I am actually a busy man and I have a place to go right now" I said, ready to leave but I heard a light thud on the table."Emily," Andrew called, not saying anything more as he looked at me with a smirk on his face.And that one name made me stop but I didn't let the weakness show. I am more of a pro when it comes to hiding my emotions."If I
EMILY'S POV"What are you doing here?" I asked Liam because I didn't expect him to find him in my personal office room this morning.And today at that. It's not that the thought hasn't crossed my mind but coming this early is what I didn't expect.I have been meaning to go to Liam's office room to question him about the necklace today but when I called Ms Linda, she told me no one had spotted Liam this morning.But now, he showed up in my office room, wearing a shirt that exposed part of his muscular chest."What do you think? I came to see how you are coping in your new office room. Also, to check if you miss me or not," he replied, and I should have expected that reply.Good that he even came because I have been wanting to ask about the necklace from him."Suit yourself but there is no coffee or tea for you Liam" I said but before he could reply, a knock came from the door."Come in" I said and one of the staff came in. I already forgot her name but she is working in the sales depar
EMILY'S POV"I will give you the necklace at the right time, Emily. I love the way it fits your neck Perfectly." Liam said and I wanted to smile right now but I swallowed it back. He should keep trying, maybe things will work out between us."I didn't tell you that I don't know how to get a necklace for myself," I said and stood in front of father office room."I didn't know I was the only man who could give you that because how did you know?" He asked and I wish I could run away right now."Well, Chelsea told me," I lied and he looked at me as if he could read through my lie."Why do I not find your answer convincing." He said and I quickly walked past him."I don't care about your opinion," I said and knocked on the door slightly. "Welcome, Liam," He said and Liam offered a bow. We walked towards the couch to sit down. I didn't bother to sit beside him and father seems to have seen what I am up to."I should have come to meet you straight, Father, but I wanted to see Emily first,"
EMILY'S POV"No. I don't think I can let you go that quick," Liam said and walked towards me.I wanted to take a step back but then it was too late to even leave when he was looking at me like that. "Don't touch me," I said and he stopped."Now I'm hurt," Liam said in a dramatic tone and all I could do was smile."I will get going then," I said ready to leave."I got you this." He said and gave me a Lily flower. I wanted to laugh at him at first but then I realized Liam knew what he was doing.I had to hate the rose bouquet after what the stalker did by sending a rose bouquet every time. This is part of the reason I hated it because it has been filled up with a bad memory of this stalker."I don't want to take it from you," I said and tried not to stare at him too much.Black fits him perfectly compared to any other colour."Oh, you don't like Lily right?" Liam said with no offence."I got you this too" Liam replied and opened the car only to bring out a peony bouquet.When he saw th
EMILY'S POVOn getting home, Xavier's school bus came just in time. The guards opened the door while I took Xavier with me inside. He sat on the couch silently watching a cartoon on the iPad in his hand.I took out my clothes and dipped myself inside the bathtub, washing myself."I don't want to see you getting hurt because of what happened. Please make sure you are happy even if you are planning out your revenge on Emily" I recalled Chelsea's words which brought a smile to my face.But why do I still feel empty, as if I haven't done anything? Because after what Aysel did, she is still living fine.However, it's not how it was in the past because she could no longer live the lavish lifestyle.My phone rang and talked of the devil, it was actually Aysel calling. Now, let's hear what the bitch has to say. I picked up the call and put it on speaker while I continued to wash myself."Hello," Aysel said, her voice breaking through the speaker. "So you think I wouldn't know you are trying
EMILY'S POVI watched as Thierry got inside the car with Liam. I would have chosen to stay beside him throughout the ride but I came with my car and I would need to take it along. I brought out my phone from my bag and dialled Chelsea's number."Hello, bab,." I said when Chelsea picked up."Yes, love," Chelsea replied. "What is it? Why does your voice sound tired?" She quickly added, noticing the change in my tone."Nothing much but I think I will need your help again," I said and continued. "I am actually going to come home late so I don't know if you will be able to take Xavier up from school. I already texted his homeroom teacher that I wouldn't be at home, so they shouldn't bother taking me home," I explained.Though Chelsea will still be angry even if I didn't tell her much, the truth is she is about to get married to the love of her life so she needs to spend more time with her heart robe."No problem. Make sure you tell me everything when you are back." Chelsea said and I answ
EMILY'S POVTwo hours later, I was done correlating the data. Liam is actually helpful and he actually did most of the work. I can boldly say I will be able to do this easily all thanks to him for helping me out.I called John to come and take the result I had already compiled into the file folder as a soft copy. "Can you at least let me go and print out the files?" I asked but Liam was actually against the idea.He hasn't let me go since and I think he is enjoying this. I wasn't in the mood to banter words with him so I let him go."Why can't he do that for you? Your personal secretary, I mean," Liam said but what he didn't know is that John was not my personal secretary but someone who was supposed to assist me. Though I am still his boss, both in and outside of the company premises, I still want him to be free in the company until I learn from him."I wish to do it myself. Thanks got your help." I said and tried to stand up but Liam held me down by placing his hand on my waist."
EMILY'S POVLiam came again to visit me and I doubt he will even get tired of this. He is a CEO, for crying out and if we are spotted together, there will be problems because not everyone will love our Union and most people don't even know we were divorced in the past.Linda called me this morning and tried to express herself about how she misses me. One other thing she mentioned is that she wishes Liam and I were actually together.I mean, she is so honest and keeps telling me that the chemistry between us actually clicked. Just see that; she is literally the best girl any man would want because she can see through People.Shaking the thought off my mind, I walked towards Liam and sat down in front of him."What is it again?" I asked in an irritating voice because if care is not taken I will get accustomed to Liam's presence in the office room."You can keep doing whatever you want. I just want to keep on watching you," Liam said with a playful grin on his lips and I swallowed hard.
AYSEL'S POVI thought Dad would reach out to me but he didn't. I was even more surprised when I didn't receive any call from Dad though I was planning to go back home this week.I called Mum and tried to explain what had happened to him but Mum told me he already told Father she would be coming back from her trip today.I could only hope she would be back now because it's already been an hour.I called Mum's number and put the phone on speaker."Hello Mum," I said to the phone."You should have begged him when he told you to. Why didn't you stall it back then." Mum's angry voice boomed through the speaker and I have a feeling that this is bad news.She doesn't have to spell it out for me to know that father didn't change his mind."I talk to him but you know his words are always the final say. He told me you have to keep being a good girl while he will watch you for the next five months." Mother said, her voice laced with frustration."This is why I told you not to steal too much from
