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

    It was already 7 AM when I woke up. After taking my bath and brushing my teeth, I changed into my nightdress since the gala will be in the evening.The knock at the door startled me because I suddenly jumped in fright. “I'm coming," I said as I made my way to the door. I held the door handle and pulled the door open after taking a deep breath to calm my nerves but to my utmost surprise, Liam is the one at the door.It wasn't Annie, Bentley or Thierry but the Devil himself. What is he looking for this early morning?I actually thought he was going to sneak into my room last night but after the small fight, Liam seems to have gone back to how things were.Maybe he finally realized we don't have a future together.“You should pack a few clothes because..." Liam hesitated as his eyes raked through my body.I turned rigid when I saw the way he was looking at me and my eyes seemed to dart between him and my chest. Alas, I was right.It doesn't feel right, considering the fact that Liam is

    The sun cast its warm glow on the city of Los Angeles but it was only 11 a.m. Annie brought out the suitcase containing my dress outside while I walked to her front.Today, I am wearing a cream-colored dress that was among the clothes Liam got for me.I matched the dress with a pair of black high heels while a small purse was clutched to my hand.Though I was expecting Liam to be in the car already waiting for me, there was no sign of him except Thierry.“Where is Liam?" I asked, my eyes darting around the surroundings while Annie stood beside me with the suitcase by her side.Thierry walked to my side when he heard my question. He bowed his head deeply and raised it.“He told me he will be back soon, ma'am," Theirry replied.“Then get the car ready." I order him in a warm tone. The sun is scorching today and I don't think I can wait longer under it to get my skin burned.“The boss isn't taking the car, ma'am," Theirry responded with his hand crossed at his back while he made a slight

    3 YEARS LATER“Mummy. Are we at our destination now?" Young Xavier said as he hung onto my shoulder. We just got off our flight after leaving Spain several hours ago.I kissed his cheeks with a bright smile on my lips. “Yes, Mummy is in Los Angeles," I replied him, and he smiled, looking over my shoulder. Coming back here was one of my lifelong dreams, and giving Xavier absolute protection was one of them.Vincent came down from the plane with our luggage in his hand. “Uncle Vee!" Xavier yelled with her small voice, waving his hand in the air. I chuckled when I saw Vincent flash him a bright smile as he approached us.“We are here" Xavier beckoned to Vincent. He finally relaxed when Vincent got to our side and stopped jumping.“You are happy to hear Xavier," Vincent said, mimicking Xavier's cute tone, and I had to stop myself from grinning.”Yes, Uncle Vee." Xavier replied.I made a promise to take care of Xavier, but I won't deny him from his father because of the ill-fated relati

    It was a long night, and when Chelsea finally told Vincent about everything that happened in his absence, I was flushed pink as different emotions swirled through me because of the way Vincent paid keen attention to whatever Chelsea was saying.”I must say you are a good friend to Emily. I wish I knew you earlier." Vincent said after drinking the juice inside the glass cup.He reclined his back to the chair as he watched between me and Chelsea.”So if you had known Chelsea before me, would she be your best friend?" I asked Vincent with a sullen expression. I already went up to check up on Xavier but he is still sleeping. When I came back to the dining room, Chelsea and Vincent were still discussing.Before Vincent could reply me, half-sleeping, Chelsea chose to reply.”Emily, I think you are jealous, and don't tell me no because you are fucking Jealous right now, and it's written all over you." She squealed, her voice filled with excitement and I had to stop myself from blushing righ

    After breastfeeding Ryan and watching him fall asleep, I walked out of my room and came across Chelsea, who kept grinning at me.“Stop it, this girl! What are you doing?" I asked, looking at her with one side eye but she didn't care as she closed the distance between us.“Well," she drawled and continued. “I didn't come here to taunt you. Instead, it was because Vincent came down now, and it seems he is waiting for you," Chelsea said, and my gut kept telling me she had something up her sleeve.“What is it to you if he doesn't eat yet? What makes you think he was waiting for me?" I asked Chelsea and she replied with a shrug of her shoulder.”It's just my guess. Please, where is Ryan? I know he already missed me." Chelsea declared in a firm tone.”In your dreams hun... He didn't even ask you" I retorted before walking away from her.Chelsea giggled and walked alongside me. “I won't be surprised if he suddenly kisses you or asks you out.””That's because he wishes to, and how is that you

    I didn't know what came over me, but my emotions were a mess the moment I breathed in his scent. Vincent hugged me, pressing his hard chest against my front, and I knew someone was screaming Yes in her head right now.Typical Chelsea's way of saying her plan had worked and she was right about Vincent.“I missed you, Emily," Vincent replied in a warm tone, releasing his arm around me, and I took two steps back.My face flushed pink, embarrassed by the way he suddenly said that, but Vincent didn't act that way; he didn't count it as a big deal like me. Instead, he held my hand as we walked towards Chelsea. “This must be the friend you are talking about. Chelsea right?" Vincent asked and Chelsea rolled her eyes at him in a playful way.Of course, they already met once or twice. Perhaps Vincent had already forgotten Chelsea's face and couldn't recollect her but I didn't stop gisting him about Chelsea during the times he was away.Chelsea couldn't hide her smirk as she winked at me. “Yes,

    EMILY'S POVDecember came quickly and the people in Spain were trying their best to fill the streets with Christmas trees and lights. Maybe that is their way of celebrating Christmas but everywhere was bustling with Christmas songs.Ryan was asleep in the crib when I made my way downstairs and saw Chelsea busy watching the television. She was so engrossed and began to sing along to the Christmas song. She didn't even notice my presence until I decided to speak.“Didn't I tell you Vincent will be coming back today?" I asked Chelsea. She switched off the TV and sprang up from the chair, her eyes beaming at me.Chelsea yawned softly before parting her soft pink lips. “Yes, you told me and if you look well, I already tidy up the room. What do you think about the interior?" Chelsea responded and my eyes darted around the room to see what she was talking about.She was indeed right because everywhere was sparkling with neatness. I am sure Mateo helped Chelsea but I couldn't say it out loud

    EMILY'S POV(FIVE MONTHS LATER)I was surprised when I received Dad's call this morning. It's been over two months since we last talked. Though I couldn't tell him I gave birth a week ago, Dad didn't stop pestering me to come home and settle things with Liam.He even informed me about Liam's father trying to get my contact but I begged him not to release my contact number to anyone even if it was Aysel.”Are you sure you won't be coming home now?" Chelsea asked as she held Ryan, my newborn baby, in her hand. I called Chelsea here the last two weeks when I was almost due to give birth. She got here through the plane and met me at Vincent's place.Vincent has tried a lot and helped me through my pregnancy.

    LIAM'S POV“Wait, don't tell me you sent Zayn to Aysel?" Rylan asked with his eyebrows quirked up the moment he saw me emerge at the door out of the blue when I was supposed to be inside the hotel room with Aysel.“I thought you were planning to have fun with her? Or was I wrong?" Rylan inquired, standing up from the seat.”Maybe I would have if she didn't try to drug me." I replied in a cold tone which made the creases on Rylan's forehead deepen. “Aysel has tried everything to win me back, and the truth is, I might give her a chance," I said in a quiet tone and pulled the hair at the back of my head.“I thought you claimed you don't love her even when Maddox pestered you about it." Rylan took a deep breath and exhaled through his parted lips.“Maybe I was delusional before. I might have finally realized that I am in love with her now." I responded and took the Vodka bottle on the glass table separating me from Rylan.“Fuck!" Rylan cussed with gritted teeth as he sat back on the couc

    (AYSEL'S POV)A low giggling sound left the back of my throat when I saw my reflection in the mirror. I can't wait for Liam to gulp down the entire wine in the glass cup so we can have the best sex of our lives compared to whatever Emily did in the past. Call it greediness, but no man has ever satisfied me or met up to Liam's standard in any way, which was why I am going to seize this moment, now that he was heartbroken because Emily cheated on him.Humming a song under my breath, I took off my gown and stared at my reflection in the mirror. The lingerie looked sexy on me. It was one of Mum's lifelong wishes for me to get married to a wealthy man who would also support in whatever business she add in mind. All I needed to do was get pregnant for Liam, and everything would be different.Meanwhile, the aphrodisiac I took was already working in my system, and I could feel my body getting hot with each passing second.My core was heating and vibrating, and I could feel my clitoris getti

    LIAM'S POV”Hey Liam" Aysel called softly like a kitten which got Rylan's brows furrowed with confusion.It's good to know that Maddox wasn't here because he would have told me he was right about me making out with Aysel behind Emily, and that was what probably pulled the trigger for the divorce.Aysel didn't stop there, instead, she placed her disgusting hand on my shoulder and I almost gagged when I smelled her heavy perfume. I let her do whatever she had in mind because, seriously, I wasn't planning to use her to plan my revenge on Emily, but tonight, I don't know if it was because of the alcohol, even though I only gulped down half of the bottle, I didn't feel a little bit better and I want to break her.No amount of alcohol could quench my thirst. “Hi," Aysel called softly, looking at Rylan's way, which only relaxed into the chair, watching the scene unfold.“I told you to forget about her, Liam. She is not worth it, and I can give you whatever you want," Aysel said in a flirta
