“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
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
A week already passed, and Aysel's competition day was today. Liam and I didn't see each other much after the fight we both had. He now sleeps at his office and only comes home once in a while.I practiced and managed to practice with the piano. I know today is going to be a blast because I am going there to shame someone.I wore a light red dress and matched it with black heels. I applied to Makeup and adorned my neck with a silver necklace.As I descended the stairs in my long gown, even the maids were stunned when they saw me. I couldn't recognize myself when I stared at my reflection in the mirror.“Take me to Exor Hall," I told Thierry when I got inside.Since Liam made it clear to have Thierry around me so that he wouldn't get sacked, I have decided to just listen to him again. The car pulled out of the mansion and sped through the road. I pulled out my earphones and listened to classical music. Relief washed over me as I closed my eyes to let the music consume me. I want to l
“Why will you accuse Miss Aysel of being the one who stole your song" How is that possible?" One of the judges as she took the microphone from the MC.Aysel held her long dress as she walked towards me in her high heels on the stage.“Emily is my sister!" Aysel said, and everyone gasped in shock; confusion marred their faces. I sat with a relaxed expression as the judge looked in my direction with a questioning look. I nodded my head yes in affirmation that what Aysel said was true.The judge focused her attention back on Aysel. “That doesn't give you the right to accuse her because, to me, it seems you are the one who stole Miss Emily's song," the judge said, and I couldn't help but smile.Aysel's hands shook as she placed them on her chest in a dramatic way. “Tell them you stole my song, Emily!" Aysel yelled.“Calm down miss Aysel. Do you and Miss Aysel live in the same house?" The judge asked and I couldn't help but applaud the Judge for being wise.Aysel hesitated, and the hall r
My cheeks turned red when I realized Liam was indeed watching porn in the car with me, and the funniest part is that he didn't bother to hide it.Maybe it would have been better if Liam was listening to it with earpods on but Liam didn't fucking do that.I tried to focus outside the window when I found out Thierry was on earpads, and he wouldn't hear a thing.“Faster, huh? Yes .... Yes,... I like it" The sound goes on, and the sound of the flesh slapping together reverberates through the walls of the car.Without realizing it, I was already getting turned on. My cheeks flushed with embarrassment as I held my purse tightly. It suddenly became hot inside the car.My body took over and I began to fan myself with my hand. The feeling was so overwhelming and I found myself occasionally gulping as I tried to focus.“You are sweating Emily," Liam said in his deep voice and for real, I missed him a bit.I was waiting for him to start a conversation with me but he avoided me through the week.
After breastfeeding Ryan and watching him fall asleep, I walked out of my room and came across Chelsea, who kept grinning at me.“Stop it, this girl! What are you doing?" I asked, looking at her with one side eye but she didn't care as she closed the distance between us.“Well," she drawled and continued. “I didn't come here to taunt you. Instead, it was because Vincent came down now, and it seems he is waiting for you," Chelsea said, and my gut kept telling me she had something up her sleeve.“What is it to you if he doesn't eat yet? What makes you think he was waiting for me?" I asked Chelsea and she replied with a shrug of her shoulder.”It's just my guess. Please, where is Ryan? I know he already missed me." Chelsea declared in a firm tone.”In your dreams hun... He didn't even ask you" I retorted before walking away from her.Chelsea giggled and walked alongside me. “I won't be surprised if he suddenly kisses you or asks you out.””That's because he wishes to, and how is that you
I didn't know what came over me, but my emotions were a mess the moment I breathed in his scent. Vincent hugged me, pressing his hard chest against my front, and I knew someone was screaming Yes in her head right now.Typical Chelsea's way of saying her plan had worked and she was right about Vincent.“I missed you, Emily," Vincent replied in a warm tone, releasing his arm around me, and I took two steps back.My face flushed pink, embarrassed by the way he suddenly said that, but Vincent didn't act that way; he didn't count it as a big deal like me. Instead, he held my hand as we walked towards Chelsea. “This must be the friend you are talking about. Chelsea right?" Vincent asked and Chelsea rolled her eyes at him in a playful way.Of course, they already met once or twice. Perhaps Vincent had already forgotten Chelsea's face and couldn't recollect her but I didn't stop gisting him about Chelsea during the times he was away.Chelsea couldn't hide her smirk as she winked at me. “Yes,
EMILY'S POVDecember came quickly and the people in Spain were trying their best to fill the streets with Christmas trees and lights. Maybe that is their way of celebrating Christmas but everywhere was bustling with Christmas songs.Ryan was asleep in the crib when I made my way downstairs and saw Chelsea busy watching the television. She was so engrossed and began to sing along to the Christmas song. She didn't even notice my presence until I decided to speak.“Didn't I tell you Vincent will be coming back today?" I asked Chelsea. She switched off the TV and sprang up from the chair, her eyes beaming at me.Chelsea yawned softly before parting her soft pink lips. “Yes, you told me and if you look well, I already tidy up the room. What do you think about the interior?" Chelsea responded and my eyes darted around the room to see what she was talking about.She was indeed right because everywhere was sparkling with neatness. I am sure Mateo helped Chelsea but I couldn't say it out loud
EMILY'S POV(FIVE MONTHS LATER)I was surprised when I received Dad's call this morning. It's been over two months since we last talked. Though I couldn't tell him I gave birth a week ago, Dad didn't stop pestering me to come home and settle things with Liam.He even informed me about Liam's father trying to get my contact but I begged him not to release my contact number to anyone even if it was Aysel.”Are you sure you won't be coming home now?" Chelsea asked as she held Ryan, my newborn baby, in her hand. I called Chelsea here the last two weeks when I was almost due to give birth. She got here through the plane and met me at Vincent's place.Vincent has tried a lot and helped me through my pregnancy. I would be an ingrate if I held him down here in Spain when he was supposed to be in Los Angeles to secure a contract.Chelsea has helped me a lot during the past few days. Even today, it was Chelsea that even woke me up after a sleepless night of trying to breastfeed Ryan through th
LIAM'S POV“Wait, don't tell me you sent Zayn to Aysel?" Rylan asked with his eyebrows quirked up the moment he saw me emerge at the door out of the blue when I was supposed to be inside the hotel room with Aysel.“I thought you were planning to have fun with her? Or was I wrong?" Rylan inquired, standing up from the seat.”Maybe I would have if she didn't try to drug me." I replied in a cold tone which made the creases on Rylan's forehead deepen. “Aysel has tried everything to win me back, and the truth is, I might give her a chance," I said in a quiet tone and pulled the hair at the back of my head.“I thought you claimed you don't love her even when Maddox pestered you about it." Rylan took a deep breath and exhaled through his parted lips.“Maybe I was delusional before. I might have finally realized that I am in love with her now." I responded and took the Vodka bottle on the glass table separating me from Rylan.“Fuck!" Rylan cussed with gritted teeth as he sat back on the couc
(AYSEL'S POV)A low giggling sound left the back of my throat when I saw my reflection in the mirror. I can't wait for Liam to gulp down the entire wine in the glass cup so we can have the best sex of our lives compared to whatever Emily did in the past. Call it greediness, but no man has ever satisfied me or met up to Liam's standard in any way, which was why I am going to seize this moment, now that he was heartbroken because Emily cheated on him.Humming a song under my breath, I took off my gown and stared at my reflection in the mirror. The lingerie looked sexy on me. It was one of Mum's lifelong wishes for me to get married to a wealthy man who would also support in whatever business she add in mind. All I needed to do was get pregnant for Liam, and everything would be different.Meanwhile, the aphrodisiac I took was already working in my system, and I could feel my body getting hot with each passing second.My core was heating and vibrating, and I could feel my clitoris getti
LIAM'S POV”Hey Liam" Aysel called softly like a kitten which got Rylan's brows furrowed with confusion.It's good to know that Maddox wasn't here because he would have told me he was right about me making out with Aysel behind Emily, and that was what probably pulled the trigger for the divorce.Aysel didn't stop there, instead, she placed her disgusting hand on my shoulder and I almost gagged when I smelled her heavy perfume. I let her do whatever she had in mind because, seriously, I wasn't planning to use her to plan my revenge on Emily, but tonight, I don't know if it was because of the alcohol, even though I only gulped down half of the bottle, I didn't feel a little bit better and I want to break her.No amount of alcohol could quench my thirst. “Hi," Aysel called softly, looking at Rylan's way, which only relaxed into the chair, watching the scene unfold.“I told you to forget about her, Liam. She is not worth it, and I can give you whatever you want," Aysel said in a flirta
LIAM'S POVAysel didn't stop finding a way to get in touch despite making it clear to both my workers at home and the office not to let Aysel.She seems to have been monitoring me for all these days, and it makes me wonder if Aysel has always been clingy like this or if I was the one who didn't pay more attention to her in the past.”Sir, the car is ready to be taken out," Thierry said behind me.I was sitting casually on the couch, busy surfing through my phone after a long day at work. I didn't even know when Thierry walked inside.Though I remember telling him, I would need the Mercedes Benz before 6 pm. Perhaps it was because my attention wasn't focused here; regardless, Thierry reminded me.“I will be with you shortly," I replied, standing up from the couch. “Alright, sir," He replied with a bow before walking out of the room.Picking up the car keys on the glass center table, I checked the time on my Rolex wristwatch to check the time. It was just five minutes to 6 pm.I walked
“You know your Dad didn't see you that way, Emily?" Chelsea asked, and I nodded my head because she was fucking right.“Still, I don't want to cause an endless fight in the future. I would like to take care of my child for now," I replied, and Chelsea sighed deeply.“How could I forget about that Emily?" Chelsea inquired and I rolled my eyes at how Dramatic she suddenly became.”You are such a duck head buddy." I said with sarcasm and Chelsea laughed out loud.“Anyone would think you are joking right now Emily but I know this is what you want. I respect your decision, baby," Chelsea replied.“I love you, Chelsea," I said in between my smile.“If I told you I don't Love you, I don't think I will have a good night's rest today," Chelsea answered.Though she is not with me right now, I know she is trying her best not to act like she missed me. I know she did.“I miss you, Chelsea," I confessed with my lips set into thin lines.Chelsea wasn't there for me in my past life but in this lifet
