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

    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

    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 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 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"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

    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
