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

    When I woke up, the first message that popped up on my phone was Liam's message. Today is the day we will be travelling for the business trip. ”Meet me at my place at exactly 9 a.m. Emily. You can't come late."I read the message and cringe, a shiver of unease gripped me as I made my way to the bathroom. I took my bath and brushed my teeth. Xavier already left with Chelsea this early morning. I have entrusted my son to Chelsea care to take care of.Unpacking my clothes from the wardrobe, folding them and placing them inside my suitcase. It was already Past 8 when I made my way outside. I took a taxi to Liam's place.After getting down from the car, I made my way towards the gate and knocked on it. The two guards positioned at the gate open the door and usher me in with surprise on their face. They must have recognised me. In the past,.I thought they wouldn't recognise me but I was wrong.To be back in here, it actually brought out old memories which I actually want to forget. “The bo

    Xavier was the one who spotted me first before Vincent could even see me waiting at the door.“Mummy!" He cried out as he left Vincent's side. I hugged Xavier tight the moment he ran towards me. My little boy doesn't even look a bit tired, like the adult playing with him.”Mummy, I miss you", Xavier repeated, and a beautiful smile graced my lips. He must have missed me all day because he hasn't seen me.”Mum is sorry. I missed you too" I said and kissed his forehead. He smiled and bugged my neck with his fragile.”Now, go and sleep, Xavier." I said but I noticed a change in Xavier's expression. “I know you want to play more, but mummy and Uncle Vee need to talk." Xavier nodded his small head while I guided him upstairs to go and meet Chelsea. Chelsea smiled at me and carried Xavier inside. I went back to the sitting room while Vincent already stood beside one of the couches.”I want to thank you for today Vincent. I...I was confused about who to call and it was only your name that ca

    I slept off inside the car but occasionally I woke up calling Xavier name. It almost felt like a dream but my instinct kept telling me i missed something and it was only Xavier name that rolled out of my tongue.As if I was actually right, I heard Vincent voice right in my head. “They are both at home safely" Vincent said, his voice smooth and calm. I heaved a sigh of relief as I succumb to the darkness that threatened to engulf me whole.When I twitched my eyes open again, it was the bright light coming from the bedside lamp that caught my attention first.However, slowly, I turn my head sideway and only to see Chelsea beside me.My eyes widened in shock as I sit up on the bed. “Easy Emily. You are going to hurt yourself at this rate" Chelsea said with caution, rubbing my back.“When did you get here Chelsea?” I asked, my voice filled with curiosity and concern. They couldn't have got here unless Vincent went to pick them up. ”And where is Xavier? I can't believe I got drunk when y

    “Alright, everyone, since Mr. Liam knows where Ms. Emily is living, we will have to let the Boss go with her," I heard John say as he bowed his head in front of Liam.“Goodnight, boss," They chorus, offering Liam a deep bow, and I shake my head frantically in disbelief.Are they going to leave me here all alone with Liam?Where is their dignity?Before I could even stop them from leaving they all dispersed as if they weren't here with me just now.“Emily" Liam called my name, his tone soft and apologetic. Or maybe I was the one misinterpreting him.He took a step towards me but I raised my hand in the air. “W...Wait," I said softly, expecting him to back away, but he didn't.I am about to vomit right now because of the alcohol I took. Liam didn't even take anything.”You need to s... step back away from me," I said with a warning, and Liam seemed to notice what I meant.“Where are you living, Emily? I will take you there," Liam said, and that word seemed to snap me back to earth.At l

    We arrived at the venue where the party will be held alongside the team members. However, some of the team members weren't with us yet so I thought they wouldBut just as Liam was about to take me away, my phone rang. I stumbled over to answer it, and I heard Vincent's voice on the other end."Hey, Emily," he said. "I'm outside the restaurant. I saw you stumbling out, and I thought I'd come to give you a ride home."I looked up at Liam, who was watching me with a mixture of concern and annoyance. "Vincent's here," I said, as I stumbled over to him. "He's going to take me home."Liam's expression turned dark, and he stepped forward. "I don't think that's a good idea, Emily," he said. "You're in no state to be going anywhere with anyone."But I just waved my hand at him and stumbled over to Vincent, who was waiting for me outside. "Thanks, Vincent," I said, as I collapsed into his arms. "I owe you one."Vincent smiled and wrapped his arms around me, holding me close. "Anytime, Emily," he

    Liam didn't let me say anything as he dismissed me from the room right in front of Georgia. I walked inside my office room, trying to watch him through the open blinds separating us but Liam pressed the remote, blocking my view from everything that was supposed to go on in the room.I relaxed back in my seat, my nerves going erratic as I caught a handful of my hair in my fist.The girl sure has ulterior motives but I don't want to dwell on it. With time, I knew she would leave, but I was curious to know what they were talking about.* * *When it was almost 10 am, I picked up my note and pen with me as I stormed inside Liam's office in my long strides, the shoe making a soft click sound on the floor.“You have a meeting with the staff in a few minutes, Mr. Nolan," I said, and my eyes quickly darted around the room; there was no sign of the girl anymore in the room.“Yeah," Liam said, standing up from the seat. Before he left the room, his eyes raked over my body but then, he adjusted

    Liam's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the girl who had just come in, but then pulse his lips, relaxing his back on the chair as he finally remembered who it was.He always has that expression on his face when he is sure of something. I try to remain calm as I take in her appearance. She had a baby face with stunning brown eyes. She used mascara and red lipstick on her lips. For real, she looks pretty.“Come on Liam. Stop acting as if you didn't know me when I fucking had a crush on you for good eight years." She said and turned her head sideways to take a better look at me.“This is Georgia," she said, turning around to show her eight figures to Liam's face. The girl sure has boldness and I love that.“Maybe I changed a little bit but you should still recognize me. I am Maddox's sister for crying out loud" She added and flashed him a smile.I thought Liam would treat her as a ghost when he suddenly took a sip from the coffee I made for him.“Welcome back, Georgia.

    Vincent came in early the next morning before Xander could leave for school. My eyes didn't miss the way they both played with each other before Xander bid Vincent good-bye to go to school. Vincent and I talk as if he didn't just confess to me yesterday but my stupid body reacted to his little touch as if I am a young teenager when I am not.“I will drive you to your place of work" Vincent said when he saw me checking the drawer for my car keys.“You don't have to bother yourself Vincent. I should thank you for staying with Xander this morning" I said and composed my expression, looking at him.“Allow me to stress myself Emily." Vincent said as he walked towards me It took me a great effort not to take a step back away from him.I swallowed hard when he got to my side and tucked some strands of hair behind my ear.“And I told you I won't hold back." Vincent said, his voice barely above a whisper as I held on to the side of my dress.“I won't stop myself from caring for you Emily. W

    “I don't think I can do this, Vee," I said, only for Vincent to shut me up with a raise of his hand. He smiled at me and I could see he wasn't faking it in any way.For the First time, it felt as if this was the first time I would ever see Vincent smile this way. “I thought you would have noticed Emily. I thought I was giving you the signs for you to know that I am actually in love with you," Vincent said, and I shook my head slowly, my palms becoming sweaty.“It wasn't my fault. I mean we are friends. Best friends till we meet again in Los Angeles" I confessed without much difficulty.I didn't stutter or embarrassed myself. I aimed to clear the misunderstanding. I know I somehow use Vincent in order not to appear weak in front of Liam and Aysel.However, Vincent took another step towards me. If 30 centimeters apart before, then I have to say Vincent is breathing the same air as me because there is no space between us anymore.Anytime from now, Xavier's bus will arrive, and I will ha
