LIAM'S POVI stood behind at the glass wall, looking at the bustling city. This was where I usually found solace after every hectic day but now, the place is annoying me.Emily is now becoming a part of me, something that still left me puzzled because falling in love was never my thing. But Emily is trying to break that barrier without even knowing.I know I was supposed to embrace her like a man would embrace his woman, but loving someone would just be a weakness to me. The opposing company will only feed on my weakness while I watch the business I spent years building crumble.The knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. “Come in"Unfortunately, the two guys I didn't wish to see for the rest of the week walked in their long strides.“Seems like he doesn't want to see us" Maddox spoke first with a pleading look.”I'm glad you know. You can retreat now." I replied, walking to my seat. I sat on the chair with my legs crossed.”No, no," Maddox said, shaking his head. “I will be
I was busy typing on my laptop when a call came in from father. The moment I saw the caller ID, I picked up the call, and the father's voice was heard from the other end. "Emily, dear," Father said.He is actually the only one who cares about me in the household.“Good morning, Father," I said, my voice laced with excitement.“Morning Emily. Hope you slept well?"“Yes, Father," I replied as I closed the laptop.“I need you to come to the office. I want to discuss the future of the company with you and Aysel." Father said and I waited for at least five seconds before replying.I knew Father would eventually pick Aysel because after my pregnancy was revealed in my past life, it was Laura who suggested that I should take off my child while Aysel should take care of the company. However, my mind raced. What could this mean? Was it if Father picked me as his successor? Would the story change?"Of course, Dad. I'll be right there." I replied and hung up the call. I took my bath quickly an
When I walked back to Father's office, he looked up, concern etched on his face."Everything okay?" He asked and I nodded my head, forcing a smile. "Yes, father. Just a minor spill." I said calmly and sat back on the couch. The coffee spilled on the couch has been wiped off.Aysel walked in just in time and sat down beside me.“Penelope is not actually a clumsy type; you should forgive her," Father said,d, and I nodded my head.“Everyone makes mistakes. It's fine Dad."Father nodded, his expression serious. "Let's get down to business then.""Where were we?" Dad asked, glancing at us. Aysel was the and who spoke first. “About the managing director stuff," Aysel reminded him. Father nodded in affirmation. "Yes. I've been considering who should take over when I retire and like I said I will pick between you two."Aysel leaned forward, eagerness radiating from her eyes."I've decided," Dad continued, "to make it a competition between the two of you."Aysel's smile grew, and I don't ev
My hands shook as I got down from the car. Aysel has been taken to the hospital, but I knew things were complicated now. Not only did she fall, but she also fainted, and I swear I was scared. I know I didn't push her but everyone already thought I did because I was standing at the same staircase Aysel fell from. I couldn't forget the image of how everyone looked at me with disgust in their eyes. Evident that they knew I did it. After paying the taxi driver, I make my way inside the hospital. The receptionist nurses were already in their position.“Aysel Anderson," I said in a clear tone. The nurse directed me to her room.When I got there, Aysel was lying in bed while a doctor was attending to her. I should have known my actions would result in this, but I underestimated Ansel's intentions. Something was up her sleeve and this was why she acted that way.“Are you her guidance?" The doctor asked and I nodded my head in agreement.“Yes I am," “Okay, is it okay if we discuss it here?
“I will make sure to get you out today, Emily", Father said while I followed the two cops out of the room. The reporters were already standing outside the hospital gate, but the cops got me inside the car before they could swarm me with questions.They drove the car to the station, and I was led inside the interrogation room.”Your name?" The cop asked, but I kept silent.“Your name?" He repeated.“I would like to see my lawyer," I replied with my hands pressed to my thighs. I never thought I would one day come to a police station for an offence I didn't commit, but fate sure has its plan.“What?" The cop asked in disbelief before relaxing back in the chair with his hand crossed over his chest.“Then call him," He said."My phone", I replied, stretching my palm out. They already seized my phone before we got in here.The cop looked at me with frustration. He must have thought I was a spoilt brat, but the truth is, my lawyer is not even from my father's side. Not long after, my phone
LIAM'S POVI was in my office dealing with Maddox and Rayne when I received a text on my phone. It was Emily's father that texted me which made my curiosity piqued.Checking the text, the message I saw made me clench my fist in anger, and even my two friends noticed the change in my demeanour.“Did something happen?" Maddox asked. Well, that was his personality. He wants to know everything which I no longer find annoying.I cleared my throat and said the plain truth. “Emily pushed Aysel down the stairs," I said, standing up from the chair. I picked up my car keys and removed my suit jacket from where it was hanging.“Who are you going there for? Is it Emily or Aysel?" Maddox asked and I frowned at him with displeasure.“Emily is in police custody while Aysel was admitted to the hospital," I said, letting them know who was more important to save first.“Let me guess", Rylan chimed, with his finger pressed to his temples as if he were in deep thought. “You are going to save Aysel first
EMILY'S POV“Mrs. Nolan we will have to detain you if you refuse to tell us your motive for pushing Miss Aysel down the stairs." The cop said in a cold tone.He must be angry because I refuse to say anything since we have been here. I know it is already getting late but there was no sign of Father or Chelsea coming.Even my lawyer hasn't come yet and I believe she hasn't seen my message since she was probably busy.“I think we will have to detain you, Mrs. Nolan, since you are not cooperating with us," The cop said and brought out the handcuffs.My hands were already lying on the table between us, all he needed to do was raise them and handcuffFor the first time, I will be sleeping outside which is the cell room. I shut my eyes when I felt the cold metal around my wrist, but the door was hung open, and I fluttered my eyes open in shock.Liam stormed inside the room with a neutral expression as usual.“Who are you?" The cop asked with mouth open agape but Liam walked to my side and ki
I woke up feeling happy because my outline for the new comic book had already been approved by my agency, and I would be signing the necessary documents today.My phone rang inside my pocket, which made me stand up from the bed to check the phone. It was Aysel who was calling me.“So what do you have to say bitch" I muttered as I picked up the call.“Father wants you to come to the house this morning," Aysel said and hung up the call.I scoffed as I dropped the phone on the bed. I put on my dress and stepped out of the room, only to see Liam eating breakfast in the dining room.Liam stood up from the chair and walked towards me before I could get to the door.“Let Theirry drive you today," Liam said, blocking my way to the door.“Why?" I asked.He shouldn't tell me about the bullshit of wanting to protect me because I don't fucking care about that right now.“Thierry would have informed me yesterday if you had gone with him. Unless you want to see him get sacked, allow him to drive yo
Yawning softly, my phone rang and I checked who the caller was. It was my baby Chelsea. My head hurt slightly but I managed to pick up her call.”Hello, Emily; since you will be going to work today, I decided to help take Xavier to school.." Chelsea said from the other end and I smiled, my heart full. Xavier is okay and that is all that matters.”Wait, you won't even greet me good morning." I teased Chelsea and I imagined her expression in my head.She will be frowning right now before she finally smiles.”Well, you should know already that Xander is my priority, Emily." Chelsea said and her words brought a smile to my lips.”God Chelsea. You are such a traitor. Either way thank you for taking care of him" I thanked Chelsea.“You don't have to do that Emily. Now, get prepared for work before Xavier catches me talking to you. That boy didn't stop asking you" Chelsea responded.“That is why Xavier is my son Chelsea. Let me quickly take my bath and get going my love," I said and took of
AYSEL'S POV“You have been ignoring my calls, but a friend told me you were here last night, and I have been waiting for you to come here since last night." He said and I smiled at him.I have been busy lately, which was why I couldn't pick up your call. Would you like to come sit with me inside the car?”No. You should know what I came here for. I would have asked Laura myself, but you became the Manager of your Father's company, which only shows that you are wealthy and financially okay to foot my bills now." He said and laughed hysterically; it's not as if he even said something funny.“I gave you money last two weeks remember? I gave you everything you asked for. What do you need again?" I asked him, getting pissed now.What does he even use that money to do when he doesn't change one bit? It's not as if he is using it for money reasonably because he never for once changes his clothes, and he still reeks of alcohol.“Do you want the world to hear everything about your secret?" He
I knew that name because it was on the list of the shareholder's father.Liam's father was the second on the list, while a foreign name occupied the third one, and Andrew Jones was the fourth person.Rumour has it that he is from Texas, but who knew he already came down here to Los Angeles?”Why are you asking about Liam when you knew who it was.”You seemed to be in love with him which is not something I am concerned about. I need a favour from you," Andrew said, and I wondered what it was.”Which is?" I asked.”Will let you know when I am done with you?" He said and pushed his length all the way in.With each thrust, I moaned loudly. He was attached to playing with me at first but now he is devouring me whole like a beast.I rest my hand on his shoulder, giving him more access to devour me. ”I am cumming" I said, my eyes half open. I salivated and my body shook when my body finally found the release. I moaned loudly, but he didn't stop.Andrew fucked me through my orgasm and I foun
EMILY’S POVLiam might have called it a masquerade party but the truth is, I didn't actually put my hopes up. Maybe it was because I actually believed nothing could come out of this.However, the moment we walked inside, my jaw dropped when I saw the interior design of the hall. Different artworks were actually painted in another part of the hall while a stunning chandelier hung on the ceiling with different spectra of light coming dispersed out of it A gush of confusion flooded my veins when my eyes took in everyone's dress. It felt as if we were all thrown back to the season of Halloween. “Can I?” Liam asked with his arm curved up. His gaze brought me back to earth and I hooked my palm around his arms.Everything seems to stop when we walk in as if I am the only pretty girl in here. We were even putting on masks and I could barely recognise anyone through the mask if not because they spoke.Was it actually true that it's where a gentleman will probably propose to his wife? I can't

Vincent agreed to come and pick me up in the evening after we ended the call. I called Chelsea to take Xavier away to her House because I will be busy which is a lie. I returned the phone to the lady at the receptionist and walked back to my office room. I received a message from Liam to come into his office room. I walked into Liam's office, wondering what he wanted me to do. He was sitting behind his desk, a stack of documents in front of him. "Emily, I need you to pick up some documents for me," he said, not looking up. I nodded and walked over to the filing cabinet. I asked for the particular one he wanted, and he mentioned it, which I helped him to find. As I handed him the documents, he looked up at me and smiled. "Thanks, Emily. By the way, I have a surprise for you." I raised an eyebrow, wondering what it could be. "What is it?" I asked, my heartbeat pulsating with the continuous flow of blood. "We have a place to attend tomorrow evening," he said, his eyes sparkling wi
Avery used every ounce of her strength to run into the woods. She has been running for some minutes, not taking a break for once.She didn't offend anyone, so who could want her dead? She didn't stop running as she occasionally glanced at the screen of her cellphone. Just when she looked back, the three men were already close to her. Judging by the way they dressed, she figured out they were probably a thug or something."What do you want?" Avery asked them, and her chest rose and fell simultaneously. Her hands kept shaking and her leg wobbled slightly but she steeled herself.She had to stop running, knowing fully well that they would soon get close to her. "Tell me, who sent you?" Avery asked with so much bravery but inside, she was weeping silently and praying for a breakthrough. Her heels hurt her feet but she was all alone in the wood. She dialed Sebastian's number and waited for him to pick it up but the men were already closer to her. "Look, she is trying to call someone!"
Sebastian cradled Avery in his arms as he headed towards the back door of the mansion. The lights were already on, which made it easier for Sebastian to walk freely into the spacious sitting room. He walked into his room, shutting the door.Sebastian carried Avery into his bedroom in a bridal style and gently laid her on the bed. Sebastian walked into the bathroom and quickly prepared a hot bath.His blood was still boiling in rage. He didn't want to lose Avery the same way he lost Celine.Sebastian came back into the room and took Avery inside the bathroom.Sebastian placed Avery into the warm water, and her eyelids fluttered open. She shivered in the water as her lashes began to shake.A sign that she was not fully awake. Sebastian took in a deep breath as he watched Avery's face."I...I'm...." She shuttered, not knowing where she was."You are safe. I will take care of you now" Sebastian petted her but Avery's heartbeat began to accelerate in her chest.Sebastian heard every beat
Avery left the room after applying make up on her neck to hide the hickeys. She stepped into the photoshoot room fidgeting.She was embarrassed and shy when she saw few men in the room, decorating the photoshoot room with the necessary equipments."You can get into the bath tub now," The photographer instructed Avery and she complied nodding in affirmation. She sank into the bath, allowing the warmth to seep into her pores. The coldness of the water cradled her, soothing her muscle and calming her nerves. "Please relax and gently rub the foam around your shoulders"Avery complied and shots were taken. After trying different posture and styles, she was asked to stand up holding the soap in her hand. The background music song was played."I think we are done here" The photographer said and the prop applauded Avery.Calhoun walked in just in time to see Avery only in a bikini that exposed her hourglass curves and plump round boobs(note breast, is a turn-off for me)He clenched his han
