LIAM'S POV
I rested my back against the Porsche while I occasionally glanced through my wristwatch. It's already past 6 P.M. but Emily hasn't come out since I stood outside. It's unlike Emily to get this late at dressing up because she has always been quick. Everything about Emily today has been full of surprises and it makes me wonder if she somehow hit her head against the hard floor during the car accident. I wasn't even sure if this was Emily's way of paying me back after the fruitless marriage of two years we both had or because of the loveless marriage. She even accused me of cheating with her sister which was something I couldn't deny because Aysel has been trying everything possible to make me send me green signals. I will do anything for Emily but not divorce. Divorce is never an option and not having sex with Emily... No, I won't call it sex. Making love to Emily is something I will never get tired of. Sex with Emily has always been amazing and it took me a great effort not to kiss Emily in the room back when she was ogling at my body in the mirror. I pulled my phone into my pocket, waiting. The man who delivered a parcel to Emily already left and it makes me wonder what is taking her so long. The thought of Emily escaping through the window only to run away from me scared the hell out of me. In a twinkle of an eye, I made my way to the door only to stop when the door was suddenly pulled open and a breathtaking Emily came out in a silver dress. I was stunned, speechless and blood seemed to rush to my third leg because I suddenly became hard. “You thought I ran away?" Emily asked as soon as she got to where I was. My eyes seem to remain glued to Emily's body. The silver dress she wore accentuated her hips and curves in the right places. The upper part of the dress was carved in such a way that half of Emily's breasts were bouncing, fighting for dominance to be free from their restraint. I looked at the dress, which stopped at her feet. A black high heels adorned her legs. The dress had a slit which stopped in the middle of her thighs. No! Emily is never the type to wear makeup or dress too revealing like this, so what changed? “You said we are in a hurry. We should go, Liam," Emily said and left,t, only to settle in the front seat. I was lost for words and I was stunned to my bones to see Emily's new side. What happened? What did I miss? I got into the driver's seat and pulled out of the penthouse. Emily pulled out her phone and took some pictures inside the car. Even when I tried to feature inside, Emily pushed the phone away so that the camera wouldn't capture my face. She stopped taking pictures and went to her W******p to check some messages. The nerve of this woman to act as if I wasn't here with her in the car. A notification came from the phone. I pulled out my phone and drove with one hand, only to see that Emily had posted the pictures she had taken on I*******m. But the caption was what caught my attention. **I'M NOT WAITING FOR ANYONE TO COMPLETE ME, I'M ALREADY A WHOLE** ”What?" I scoffed in my mind only to scroll to see the comments. Emily sure has a lot of fans because she is also a comic book writer. The girls were complimenting her beauty and some asked her why she doesn't wear makeup before. I turned off the phone and looked ahead of me. Emily was even giggling beside me as she replied to some people on her W******p. God! I want to take that phone away from her hand and push her to the back seat for hot sex to let her remember who she belongs to. My knuckles were on the verge of turning white because of the way I gripped the steering wheel, but Emily was having a nice time chatting. I drove to the hall at the speed of light and stopped at where the cars were parked. I got out of the car, ready to open the car door for Emily. Meanwhile, Emily had already gotten out of the car, looking ravishing in her silver dress. The sun was already about to set but that didn't hide Emily's beauty. My gaze fell on Emily's back, and it took me a minute to get the fact that I was staring at Emily's bareback. The tattoo in the middle of her back defined her thin back sexually. I am the only one allowed to see that. That stunning beautiful tattoo. I would have thrown Emily a coat just to cover herself but not until I saw my father working towards us. Maybe not us but they just got to the hall like everyone. ”What are you waiting for Liam? We need to get inside and..." “Woah. You look breathtaking in this dress, Emily," I said, cutting Emily off. Emily seemed surprised by my sudden outburst, but I didn't want her to ask me why. I have never complimented Emily's dress, not even on our wedding day. I don't love Emily but her body is not something a mortal man could resist. My father was already getting closer to us, and the paparazzi seemed to have sensed our presence. I need to do what I am best at, which is pretending to be a dotting husband. Emily seemed to be occupied with understanding the situation. Before she could ask me what was wrong, I drawled Emily by her waist only to slam her back against the car door in a twinkle of an eye. ”What are you doin..." Whatever question Emily was going to ask got swallowed when I slam my lips over hers. Her eyes widened in shock as she pressed her two hands against my chest to push me away but I didn't stop. Emily is a wild vixen. She is a seductress. My very own seductress because she is irresistible. I'm sure she is going to slap me, but I'm addicted to Emily's lips, and it scared me. ”Mhm" Emily uttered in between the kiss but that sounded like a pleasant moan in my ears and blood rushed to my dick. I am addicted to her I am under Emily's spell. I am utterly enamored with Emily, and I don't think I can stop, fuck!EMILY'S POV The time seemed to stop the moment Liam crashed his lips over mine. Maybe I was hallucinating but I wasn't sure either if this was an illusion. Though it felt so real. His mint smell enveloped me, throwing me into a whirlwind of emotions while my heart pounded loudly against my ribcage. Goosebumps spread across my exposed skin, and I shivered against his tall frame. His free hand rested on my waist and I felt so small, so powerless and fragile against Liam's chest. Liam would never kiss me. He never did except when we were having sex, but what changed? I shook the stupid thought that filled my head, almost making my head fuzzy away. I pressed my hand on his chest, trying to push him away but Liam didn't bulge. Who am I kidding? Liam has spent most of his leisure time in the gym. There was nothing he was not good at, even the kissing part. My hormones took charge, and I moaned into the kiss like molten magma. The sound that escaped my lips scared me because Liam sudd
EMILY'S POVLiam walked away, leaving me and his father outside. I didn't try to stop him because I knew Liam and his father were like a cat and rat. They aren't on good terms and sometimes, I do blame myself and think maybe it was because his father forced us to be together.I was still angry that Liam kissed me right in front of everyone. I know this was part of the rules in the contract I signed in my past life.We are supposed to act like a real couple whenever we are outside but the moment we stepped into the car or got home, everything changed. I wouldn't hesitate to trample on Liam today, humiliating him was part of my plan of coming here.“Liam is still as cold as ever but I am glad he is warm to you. He can be difficult sometimes, but try to understand him," Liam's father assured me in a warm tone. I wished I could tell him things weren't like what he thought because Liam was in love with my sister, not me. “Thank you, Father. I know you will become close friends at some po
“Woah. I guess everyone could see that. Mrs. Nolan and Aysel are wearing the same dress." The MC spoke into the microphone.I smiled at Aysel who managed to smile back at me. She must be weeping inside now because I remembered how she boasted about how much the dress cost in my past life.She had blabbered that they were just two copies of it and she was probably the first one to get it which was why I begged Chelsea to get the same dress.It was worth the trouble after all, I want to see if her ego has been crushed now. This is just the beginning of Aysel's misery.“This is the definition of a happy family. This is what we call true love between two sisters." The MC continued while the people clapped their hands with a smile on their faces.Aysel walked towards me and pulled me in for a hug. I hugged her back, returning the gesture.“You surprised me, Emily. You should have let me know you will be getting the same dress." Aysel said with gritted teeth. Her voice was barely above a wh
The party was already coming to an end after Laura and my father gave their last speech. The people were already starting to disperse. I took my purse with me and left the hall because of the sudden need to empty my bladder. The space was empty when I got inside. I stepped inside one of the stalls and got my thing done. I was ready to step out of the stall when the door was pushed open, followed by echoing footsteps. “Did you see the way Aysel danced with Liam Nolan? Do you think they have things going on between them?" I pressed my ear against the door frame to listen to their conversation better. “I wouldn't be surprised if the two are dating. Have you forgotten the way Aysel was when she heard about Emily getting married to Liam? She nearly killed herself." My jaw dropped when I heard what the girl said and I shook my head in disbelief. My lips trembled when I listened to more of their conversation. I recognize the voice. It was none other than Aysel's friends. I recognize t
“Liam, stop it. I told you I wanted a divorce," I said but no words came out of my lips. It was all in my head and maybe a part of me wanted this. Maybe a part of me still hopes Liam will eventually come to love me and not my sister but this is just wishful thinking. What kind of temptation is this? “Look at you getting red, Emily. Tell me," Liam said with sarcasm before moving his hand resting down the side of my body. “You want this" He said his hot mint breath fell on my neck. My body flushed as his hand trailed the curve of my body. I almost closed my eyes to enjoy this beautiful feeling and also let it take over my entire being as desires pulsated through me. Liam took a few steps back and pinched the middle of his eyebrows, leaving me all alone and I felt alone. ”What is the meaning of what you just did, Liam?" I asked after taking a deep breath. My face is still as red as a tomato because I suddenly feel hot from inside. He already riled me up without touching
Liam burst into a fit of laughter the moment I uttered those words. I frowned, not knowing what prompted the reaction.”If you are going to keep on weighing your options because of that claim of yours about Aysel, I would love to see your proof, Emily." Liam said, straightening his back.“You can as well answer my question. Just a yes or no would do, Mr. Nolan," I replied before taking my purse from the floor while a part of me waited for the devil's reply.“Will my answer satisfy you, Emily? I doubted that, but don't take my words lightly. I meant everything I said," Liam said before storming out of the room while my eyes trailed over him until the door was shut.The moment Liam left, I slumped to the floor while my hand didn't stop shaking. There is one more thing I forgot to remember about Liam.He is the type to never go back on his words and I mean it. Liam is going to divorce me like I said but that doesn't mean he will let me be like that without trying to get connected to me p
I stormed into my room, closing the door behind me with a loud thud. Liam and I didn't talk throughout the drive and he didn't try to engage in any conversation with me. He was as silent as ever.I took off my heels and undressed before walking naked into the bathroom. The white bulb made the room look even brighter, but strangely, his scent still lingered in the room.The bathtub was filled with warm water and the steam rose slowly from it. I got into the bathtub, letting my racing nerves relax with the calm water.After washing myself up inside the bathtub, I wrapped the towel around my body.“You think I can't get him, huh? Just watch me, Emily. Don't come begging me when he is finally with me," Aysel's words replayed in my mind.Those were her last words before I left the hall. It might have looked as if she was bluffing, but Aysel is never the type to let her guard down, and she meant every word.I looked at my stomach, which still appeared flat. There is still some time for me t
The maids came in before I could finish bathing and my clothes were already laid down for me on the bed. “Good morning, ma'am." The two girls chorused with their heads bowed.I still remember their name from my past life. The short girl is Annie while the tall, brunette girl is Bentley.“Morning Bentley," I said with a beautiful smile on my lips. I sat down in front of the dressing mirror while they walked towards me to help with dressing up.As usual, they got me the kind of dress I usually wore. A long dress that reaches my legs and its flair, not showing any of my curves. They combed my hair and made it curly at the end. When they were done, I wore the dress and twirled around. I can't believe I loved wearing this back then.“Ma'am, do you want us to apply the makeup?" It was Bentley who asked me and I could see the look of confusion and surprise in their eyes. There were surprised to see makeup kit in the room which I got last night from Chelsea.“Yes, I will be using it," I sa
EMILY'S POV"Okay, thanks for having me here, Emily," Chelsea said as she threw herself on the couch, her legs sprawled out. "Feel at home babe. Thanks for taking care of him." I said and took the Chelsea bag from the floor.Chelsea yawned softly and I already guessed that she was hungry. "Xavier already has a special place in my heart," Chelsea said in between her smile.I winked at her before taking my bag alongside the Chelsea bag.However, Xavier, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly took out a piece of paper from his bag."Mummy" Xavier drawled out in his weak voice."Yes, baby," I replied and opened my arms wide for him to come in. He always has something to say whenever he calls me that way."See this," Xavier said and showed me the paper."We have a parent and teacher meeting on Thursday, and I want Daddy to come," Xavier said and my heart skipped a beat, ears ringing because I didn't expect him to say that.Chelsea had the same expression as me, and she came to my rescue.
EMILY'S POVMy heart beat loudly in my chest and I swear, I didn't even feel this scared when Liam kissed me.Fuck.Why am I even thinking about him again when Vincent was the one standing in front of me. He just told me I am beautiful, with his lips barely touching mine, but I am afraid I can't feel the spark.There is no fucking chemistry between us, and it is ruining me. I don't want it to be as if he took advantage of me when I kissed him whereas I didn't want to.I placed my hands on his chest and pushed him away from me but he didn't bulge neither did he kiss me."I'm sorry Vincent. I can't do this." I said and saw pain flash in Vincent's green eyes. He was already expecting me to say that so why is he looking at me that way?"Why?" Vincent asked and released my waist, but his body still caged me to the cabinet. I could feel his hot breath on my lips."Because I don't feel the same," I said, keeping my eyes focused on him. I won't crawl back like a weak woman and let him feed
EMILY'S POVVincent opened the car door for me to step out and get out of the car with a smile on my face. "Thank you, Vee," I said while he closed the door."Welcome to my place Emily. I think this will be the second time you will be coming here." Vincent said with his hand raised in the air. He walked towards the entrance of his mansion while I followed him."Oh come on. It's not my fault Vincent. You know I have been busy lately but we do go out several times, " I said and laughed in between my talk."Okay," Vincent murmured with a smirk at the corner of his lips. "I'm glad you actually followed me here today."I should be thanking you for helping me. You are actually a rare gem" I said, praising Vincent."Come on, what are friends for?" He said and unlocked it for me to step in before closing the door behind us."And I should be glad you are safe because you are my fiance," Vincent said, and I stopped in my tracks.Did he mean it when he said I am his fiancé? Because the truth is,
EMILY'S POVI thought Vincent was actually going to take me elsewhere but to my astonishment, the car stopped in front of the police station. "Is there something wrong?" I asked Vincent and he looked at me before taking his key out from the ignition point."The stalker has been found, Emily," Vincent said,d, and it felt as if my ears weren't working for a while. What did he just say?"The stalker has been caught?" He repeated, and my legs seemed to lose strength, but Vincent already understood my situation. He got out of the car and unlocked the door to my side."I don't want to inform you straight at home, but I want you to be rest assured that he will never text you again, Emily," Vincent said, and I nodded my head."Thank you, Vincent," I murmured as he helped me down to my feet. I clutch my bag to my hand as we make our way inside the station.Another detective was actually in charge of the case. "Miss Emily right?" He asked and I answered yes."Okay, we are to inform you that the
LIAM'S POVRylan and I got to the location. It was already past close to 7 a.m. before we got there. Rylan makes sure to check the environs for any possible shadow lurking in the shadow. The breeze blows, making the nearby sway left and right. "Have seen him," Rylan said after checking with the camera in his hands. He passed it to me and I looked through it. He was alone sitting on one of the chairs as he looked around for any sign of danger. I must say, he is actually meticulous and pays more attention to whatever is going on right now. Too bad he won't be able to get us until we get close to him.Rylan, who was dressed in all black, pulled the hoodie over his head and began to walk in the direction the asshole was. He was already disguised as a Scorpion right from home in order not to arouse suspicion. Rylan has the same figure as Scorpion which was Why it was very much easier for him to blend.Rylan got inside while I took the cue of his distraction to get close to the window.
LIAM'S POVI parked my car in front of the penthouse and made my way in, Rylan was already waiting for me inside. I had to leave Emily's place at exactly 6 a.m. after making sure she was safe.Without thinking much about what happened last night I pulled the door open and got in. My lead only goes back to one man and he is still in the dungeon."You came late. I hope we still have time" Rylan said, getting up from the couch with a cigarette in between his fingers."I had to make sure she is safe before coming" I rolled up my sleeve and took out my phone from my pocket. I walked towards the safe and punched in the password. I took out the burner phone Scorpion was using and tucked it inside my pocket trousers."Loverboy." Rylan joked and then, his expression turned serious again. "So what are you going to do inside?" He asked and continued, torture him more or kill him?" "I will make him call his boss, that is all," I said and made my way to the underground dungeon while Rylan tagged
EMILY'S POVI found it hard to sleep after Liam left. I couldn't, no matter how much I tried, and guilt kept eating me up.Maybe I shouldn't have acted that way to him.Maybe I should have allowed him to stay since he came here to protect me. Liam knows about the stalker and maybe sooner or later, he will know about Xavier.However, before that could happen, I would have successfully chosen to stay in my father's company. I need to know why Aysel was hell-bent on killing me.I won't be surprised if he was the one who sent the stalker to me. She might have wanted to retaliate but I never thought she could go this far just to make me regret ever humiliating her.John has been in hiding after what happened. If Emily knew about what happened, he would only get angry more. I rose up from the bed and walked towards my window, a shadow loom began the plant. Even in the semi-dark place he was standing, I could make out his features.Suddenly, his head turned in my direction and I closed the
EMILY'S POV It's been an hour since Vincent left but I was still standing by the window, looking at the sky. My back collided with the wall as I let out a deep sigh. I literally thought I was already getting okay not knowing it was all a lie. It all started when I had an accident five years ago. It was when Aysel tried to hit me with her car. I contacted zone out but I tried to overcome it without Vincent knowing since he is always not at home. It stopped after three years of constantly going to the gym, training both my mind and body. It helps me a lot but not until I saw Thomas, the man who inflicted pain on me in the past. The one I thought was my father not knowing it was all a lie. Being shot in the chest right in front of me, I realised the panic set in again that I might lose again in this lifetime only if Aysel is caught or thrown behind bars for the evil things he has done. I took out my clothes and disappeared into the bathroom to take a quick shower. I sit inside the b
LIAM'S POVMaddox pulled the door open for me and I walked inside to see them actually working hard to locate who was stalking Emily."When she got the call, I tried to locate the person and it led me here. It was a warehouse, but I don't know why he is going this far," Rylan said, and my frown only deepened."Is it possible that the guy in the dungeon is lying? What if he rest assured that his sister will be taken care of by his boss if they realize he is nowhere to be found for the past two days?" I asked, and Maddox seemed to agree with me that I was right."Okay, you are right," Rylan said and stood up from his seat. "I also found something through the footage you sent to me. He is actually someone in a high position. I am sure he has been Emily before. He can't just target her or should I say he is doing this because of you?" Rylan explained and I couldn't help but think about what he said."Because of me?" I asked, my eyebrows raised in question, I clearly didn't think of this b
