LIAM'S POV

I 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.

    I sat on the chair, sipping coffee and nervously fidgeting with the hem of my jeans. The Editors already told me the contract had been sent to my lawyer, and they even gave me privacy by stepping out of the room for me.I kept checking my wristwatch, and not long after, a knock came at the door. My lawyer, Sheila walked in her high heels.“I'm for coming lat,e," Sheila said with a warm smile on her face and a sleek briefcase in hand."Please. Come on in." I said and she walked in to sit beside me.Rachel pulled out a stack of papers and pens. She dropped it on the long table and faced me."Okay, Emily, let's get down to business," Sheila said, her expression turning serious. "ShadowMoon Agency wants to option 'My Husband Regret' for comic, film and TV adaptations. This contract outlines the terms." Sheila explained and quickly went through the papers.My heart skipped a beat. This was happening. Sheila walked me through the contract, explaining each clause and ensuring I understood

    “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

    I couldn't hold my anger in as I get up angrily. I wouldn't let Liam and Aysel disgrace me. However, Aysel turned to face me as if she knew what I had in plan. Maybe she thought I am going to tell Vincent to stood up from the seat then i will hug him but I didn't.“I have nothing more to do here and if you are that curious to know if he is someone I love, then I will give you the invitation card to our wedding" I said and Vincent stood up alongside me with a bow to the two nuisance in front of me.I walked out of the restaurant with Vincent, feeling a sense of relief that the uneasiness I felt is finally over. We walked towards the parking lot and I hop in. Vincent drived us to my apartment but my nerves didn't calm a bit as I get down from the car.There is this funny question heating me up and I wanted to ask him if my guess was true. I don't want to put Vincent in a tight position. Turning to face him as he closed the distance between us, I asked, "Hey, Vincent, can I ask you so

    For a second, I thought Aysel was joking but it was all true when I saw the seriousness on her face.”Is there anything on my face Emily?" Aysel asked with a blank expression. “You coming right? I will text you the location" Aysel said as she walked back to meet Liam. The two said something which my ear couldn't pick up before they get inside the car.Vincent turned to look at me with his eyebrows. I guess he is communicating with me slowly to either come with Aysel or we should ditch her.My phone beeped in my hand. I checked the notification and saw Liam text on my phone. Actually, Aysel didn't have my number which was why Liam send the location text himself.“He sent the location. I think we should go" I said and Vincent nodded his head with a smile.He kissed my hand before he etwined my hand with his and dragged me to the passenger seat. Opening the car door, he pulled the door open and I get in.Vincent drove the car to the famous restaurant and help me with the door while Ays

    ”Hello, Aysel," I start, clenching my hand against my side while Vincent tries to focus his attention on me, but I doubt it would change a thing because I wouldn't act friendly to Aysel today.“Is there a reason I need to reply to that question you asked? I mean, we aren't that close to sharing something personal," I said aloud for her to grasp what I was saying.Liam eyes look in my direction briefly before he suddenly shifts his attention to Aysel. He didn't bother to walk in to explain himself. Perhaps, he thought I would open my mouth and inform Aysel myself that I am working as his secretary.Aysel laughed cutely, covering the part of her mouth with her hand. ”I'm sorry. It's just that I didn't expect Emily to talk to me that way," Aysel lied through her pretentious face as if I was the wicked person here.I scoffed only to notice a change in her expression. “It wouldn't be hard for you to tell me you came here with your new boyfriend," Aysel said with a scornful look.Calming m

    It was already three minutes past 4 in the evening when I left my office room and walked towards the elevator. Liam left before me and he didn't bother to strike up any conversation with Mr after the heated argument we had in his office room concerning Vincent.I had to admit that he has been acting weird, which is not something I am oblivious to. It's all written on his face compared to in the past when he was good at masking his emotions but things are different now.“Ms Emily, will you be coming to the party? I heard it was thrown because of you" One of the workers working in the management department said, walking towards.She is a lady in her late twenties with a good petite figure. Something any man would be crazy for because of the way she carried herself with her stunning walking steps.However, I cleared my throat when I realized she just asked me a question and which party she was talking about. Or is anyone having a birthday party which I wasn't aware of?“Is there a party

    Call me a Lunatic because the truth is I want to give Liam a slap for calling me a cheating woman when he knows nothing. The fact that he believed whatever lies Aysel told him is still outrageous, considering the fact that I was with him all through and the rare times Vincent appeared varies.“You have know right to say that to me when you are the one having an affair Liam. I only came here as your secretary out of your own will." I said, breathing through my lips as I tried to calm my nerves.”You signed the contract Emily." Liam interjected, acting as if I plead to him to take me back.If only he knew things won't be the same after the 5 month contract expired.“Because you are threaten me with someone else company Liam. You wanted to ruin what Mr Smith has used his life savings to build. You want to ruin it in span of 24 hours" I spat back with venom in my tone.I tried to adjust my expression, taking in a deep breath while Liam only looked at me as I just said something bad. He t

    Vincent's eyes followed my direction. I cussed Liam in my mind before returning my gaze to Vincent. Perhaps, it's time to pay back. After all, Vincent will be coming to pick me up in the evening. I can as well act as if I was into him just to spite Liam.“I will be waiting till you get back to pick me up. I am going to miss you, Vincent," I said, and before he could reply to me, I closed the distance between us and kissed his cheek.Vincent's eyes glinted with mischievousness but I smiled to ease the tension.“Take care of your sweet," Vincent said before walking back towards his car, but suddenly, he stopped and walked back to me. My eyebrows raised in question, and at the same time, I felt a cold sweat break on my back. He knew he was looking at our way because he had refused to walk in since the car was parked. As if he wants to see the scene unfold right in front of him.Vincent's hand rested on my shoulder and I tense. “I wanted to adjust the polo." He gave one simple excuse, wh

    The sun already rose from the East when I got ready to get to work. I picked up my bag and car key after bidding Xavier goodbye when he got inside the school bus.Turning the doorknob, my eyes widened like a saucer as if I had just seen a ghost, but it wasn't a ghost; actually, Vincent stood in front of my doorstep holding a bouquet in his hand. I smiled like a baby when he flashed me his brightest smile.“Good morning, Ugly duckling," Vincent said with amusement, and I couldn't hold back my smile.“This is a token of my heart to you," Vincent said, and I took the bouquet from his hand. Thank you, Vincent, I said, smiling while looking at the bouquet.“I actually came at the right time. 8 will drive you," Vincent said aloud, and I raised my eyebrows at him in question.“What?" I asked, raising my hands in the air in a dramatic way. The corner of Vincent's eyes twitched, looking at me. “That's ridiculous and I won't allow you to do that," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm.“Says

    I sat at the table, my mind racing with thoughts of frustration and annoyance. Why had I signed that contract in the first place? I blamed myself for being so stupid, for not thinking things through.I couldn't take it anymore. I picked up my bag and stood up, my eyes locked on Liam's face. "I'm out of here," I said, my voice firm.Liam looked up at me, a hint of surprise in his eyes. But he didn't say anything, just watched as I walked away.What did I even expect the devil man to say?I stormed out of the restaurant, feeling a sense of relief wash over me as I stepped out into the cool air. I hailed a taxi and got in because I didn't bring my car along. It was all because of Vincent after all.The driver asked me for directions which I told her before the car drove off. I glanced through the open window, enjoying the view but that was all a lie. Liam didn't come after. Maybe he finally realized I was not going to listen to him.
