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 POV Laura came to her daughter's rescue just in time. “I won't allow you to do that Brandon. Aysel is your daughter before you even know this so-called Emily. She is trying to ruin it.” Laura said but Father ignored her.Aysel felt a bile rise up in her throat as the officer led her towards where she was going to write her statement. She couldn't believe what was happening. Her father, the man she had always admired and respected, was turning against her because of her character but she failed to realise that. That's what she deserved for playing dirty.“You will learn how to speak to me, Laura. I am still the head of the household.” Father snapped but then, he grabbed the back of his head. “Meet me at home then you will see the huge loss your child caused to the company I built with my sweat.” Father retorted back and left the police station.Laura walked towards him, “So now she is no longer your child Brandon. This is a misunderstanding. At least try to get her out of here

    However, Father nodded curtly and turned to face me. “She is going to confess right now, but please pardon me, Emily,” Father said and I decided to take his words seriously.This is the second time my father will ever ask me for a favour after the arranged marriage I had with Liam. Even now, he regrets leaving me with him and he rarely calls me after our divorce.”Ms Aysel, are you admitting that you voluntarily pushed Miss Emily down?” the cop asked Aysel and tears trickled down her face as she swallowed hard.“I… I did it,” Aysel said, and I looked at her puffed cheeks as she continued to sob hard like a kid.”I pushed Emily down the stairs,” Aysel said and shot daggers at me when she said that.She must have thought I was going to flare up in her anger but I didn't.“Ms Emily. Do you want us to press charges against her?” The officer asked and for a minute, I recalled what my father said before.“let her go. I only want her to tell the truth.” I said and decided to gamble with her

    Emily's pov”You were both caught by the CCTV camera walking down the stairs. And the nearby camera caught you two arguing before you suddenly pushed her down. I believe you know this is an attempted murder?” The cop said and blood drained from Aysel's face, her face flushed red.“I didn't push her down,” Aysel said with gritted teeth and looked at my way. “Tell them I didn't push you. You are trying to manipulate me from telling the truth Emily. I didn't push you down,” Aysel said with her raised at me, but I didn't flinch.This is exactly the kind of emotion I wanted from her. She should feel the same pain I passed through when she pushed me down the stairs. I guess this incident must have jogged her memory back to realize this has happened before but instead of me in her position, she is in my position. “I have other evidence to back up Miss Emily's claim,” the attorney beside me said and took out some files from her bag.She gave it to the Cop and read what was in it aloud for bo

    EMILY'S POV“My lawyer will be joining her soon,” she said and walked inside to meet her daughter.My lips widened with a smile, hearing his reply. “It is going to get interesting soon", I said, and not long after, a black van was parked in front of the police station, and high school girls, including college boys, got down.“Where is the bitch. Get her out now!" One of the girls screamed wildly with a crate of eggs sitting on her hand."Get her out! Get her out!" Others chorus in unison."Emily. Don't tell me you did this?" Vincent asked, his eyes calculative as he checked my expression for any hint but I didn't reveal any."Let's get in," I said and walked inside the building. "I didn't know I had crazy fans like this," I added quickly.The police will try to handle the girls outside while I will try to steam things up inside. Vincent approached one of the cops who directed us to where Aysel was being held. Laura was standing outside the receptionist hall while I assumed Aysel was

    EMILY'S POV“You this bitch,” Laura said with gritted teeth, her body shaking as she held onto my hand. “You think I will let you go just like that?” She said mockingly and a smirk graced the corner of my lips.She must think I am still the same little weak girl. Well, I am the one in charge now, she can just disappear for all I care.I know she hasn't seen the news yet. Sooner or later, it will circulate the company premises and the shareholders will soon be aware of what kind of person Aysel is.Father might try not to let everyone know about what is going on but I am sure she won't be able to keep her position anymore.“Oh, Mother,” I said in a mocking voice, with my eyes filled with concern. This is just the tip of the iceberg for me. Acting has always been what I would have done if studying in school didn't work out.“I'm sorry but I am in a hurry right now,” I said and took a glance at my wristwatch. “Can I come back to meet you later? I have an urgent matter to attend to.” I sa

    The light filtered in through the open window. My phone rang loudly on the bed while I was busy packing the clothes I wore last night inside the bag. Vincent was the one who helped me get a new set of clothes to wear this early morning before I could get discharged. ”Pick the call, I will be outside waiting for you” Vincent said after making sure I didn't forget anything. He took the bag I packed in my clothes away. I wanted to laugh but I actually held myself back. Perhaps, Vincent might already know who was calling which was why he decided to leave. Standing beside the bed, I took the phone and checked the caller ID. It was Chelsea. With my hand clenched around the phone, I gritted my teeth together. How could Vincent tell Chelsea what happened just like that? The phone stopped ringing only for me to realise that I hadn't picked up her call. Chelsea's call came in again and I had to pick it this time. “Emily. How are you?” Chelsea's panic voice filled my eardrum and I bit my

    EMILY'S POVVincent was surprised to see me wide awake when he came in. I try to calm breathing, not ready to reveal anything about Liam coming in.I just guess Vincent will be pissed if he heard about Liam mentioning the stalker. Could it be that he probably followed me here?How I wish I could just see his face.For him to know about where I am, he would have been watching me for a while but I am sure Xavier will be safe because he is with Chelsea.“It has been confirmed that Aysel was arrested and she is now in the Police custody" Vincent explained, stopping me from thinking and my brows furrowed in confusion. I actually thought it was probably a lie when he said that but I know sooner or later, it will be announced. I am more surprised because I told John to arrest Aysel tomorrow, not today. If she was arrested this afternoon, John should have notified me about the change in plan.Vincent doesn't know about my plan and he was here all through so he can't be the one who arrange

    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
