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.
“You get scared at anything. Don't you Wifey?" Liam said to the shell of my ears and I gulped down in nervousness as his warm body pressed into mine.“You scared the hell out of me," I confessed in a shaky breath, and Liam let me go. I smoothen my dress with my hand and turn in his direction.I heard the sound of the switch, and then the light was turned on. I tilted my chin up to look at Liam, who was in his casual wear, and I swear, Liam's appearance in the casual wear made him appear less scary.He looked like a fucking teenager who was in his early twenties.“What are you doing here Emily?" Liam said and I blinked at him, not knowing the right word to use.But what does one come to do in the library in the first place? Did he not come to read too? “I came to look for a comic book here," I said with nervousness and I don't even know why I am fucking nervous as hell. Still, I can't tell him I came here because I couldn't sleep. Liam walked back slowly and rested his hand on the d
I wore a long skirt today and matched it with a sandal. Annie did my makeup today, and it was Bentley who picked the dress I wore.When I descended the stairs, Liam was already making his way outside. He looked at me and flashed a smile, which I didn't acknowledge.I walked past Liam and Called Theirry to take me out. Today is Chelsea's birthday, and I want to dedicate it to her.“You will have to wait in the car till I am done," I told Thierry.“Yes, ma'am," Thierry agreed and started the car.When we got to Chelsea's apartment, I got out of the car and took the elevator to Chelsea's room.Chelsea hugged me tightly when she saw me in front of her apartment door.“Emily darling," Chelsea whined and pulled me in for a hug.I hugged her tightly before we disappeared into her room. After exchanging pleasantries, we both began to decorate the room.........Chelsea and I relaxed on the bed. We are exhausted because we are trying our best to decorate the room. After all, Chelsea's boyfrien
Chelsea and I went through the back gate and left the house while I believe Thierry was still in the car waiting for us. We took a taxi and got inside.Chelsea gave the driver our destination and the car pulled out onto the road.After a few minutes, we paid the driver and walked towards the club entrance. The bouncers at the door search our bodies before letting us inside. When we walked inside the club, I knew I was in a different world.The club was bustling with music with an unseen loudspeaker. The people present in the club room sway to the music holding their partner while some make out in the dark corner of the room. I felt the urge to vomit but I swallowed back. I'm not going to act like a prude now. The neon lights illuminate the room, giving it a tranquil vibe.Chelsea and I walked in our high heels and tried to get to the VIP section of the club. She told me normal class would be too disturbing for us because we were too pretty, and I agreed with her.I wouldn't like com
LIAM'S POVI clenched his jaw when I found out Maddox lured me here with no good reason and Rylan has been acting all weird.The two were busy looking at the strippers while I only tried to keep my mind focused on something else but I noticed Maddox and Rylan were hiding something, which eventually made me question them with an indifferent tone.“Tell me, Maddox," I began, which made Maddox tilt his head in my direction. ”Why did you call me here? And I know this is not about you having an important discussion to tell me. Did you finally fall in love with someone?" I asked Maddox, who shook his head. Maddox's hands were close to his thigh while his other hand rested on the couch. Maddox tried to control himself, knowing fully well I would catch him lying if he decided to lie now. “But you know love is not my thing. We noticed you are always getting hard these days dude. Tell me, when was the last time you had sex?" Maddox asked while he let the blonde girl sit on his lap “And you
I brought out my phone and decided to text Chelsea instead. After sending the message, I took my phone back inside my purse. Liam and I didn't talk until we got to the destination. Thierry got down first and unlocked the door for me to step out. I was surprised by his kind gesture. I didn't even realise when I said Thank you.Liam looked at me as he adjusted his shirt. He walked inside the restaurant while I followed him closely. Few people were eating but compared to Los Angeles, I doubt people will recognise Liam just like that.We both sat down on the same chair while the waitress told us to order. We ordered food and ate in silence.”I will pay the bills," Thierry said and followed the waitress. When we were done we all left the restaurant and moved to the venue where the meeting will be held.Thierry drove the car inside and parked it at the front of the building. The moment we got down, different cameras were positioned in front of us and we took one or two pictures. While Lia
“I have decided to take her in but the Elders need to have a meeting with me. If she is someone they will choose" Lycan King Zayn and my heart only beat wildly against my rib cage. It felt as if ice water was poured on me. He is going to take in another woman in place of me. His Beta reply came almost immediately. ”They have always wanted you to take in a woman from a powerful family. This is their long-awaited wish, my king." It's happening. This is why he refused the bond. I am just a slave to him.”You will have to meet me here when it's 10 am sharp. Tell the princess to come to my chamber." LYCAN King Zayn said.”Yes, my king. And I needed to report what I saw yesterday. The guards who tried to rape Davina are in the dungeon. What should I do with them?" The Beta asked but a frown settled on my face. If they are talking about me, are the guards the Beta was referring to the two guards I saw yesterday?”I should come down myself. You can leave," The Lycan King said without givi
I smiled when I found myself running wild in the field of flowers while Xavier continued to laugh while a man chased him. I couldn't picture his face, which made me assume this was a dream. A dream I never wish to wake up from.However, I felt something move beside me. At first, I thought I was still in the dreamland, but then something hard poked my thigh, and my eyes fluttered open. I was greeted by the sunlight that shone through the glass wall. Inhaling the smell of mint into my nostrils, my eyes became wide open when I realized what was going on. I looked beside me and saw Liam's face snuggled inside my neck like a fucking parasite as if he was going to suck me dry.How did we end up in this compromising position? His eyes fluttered open, and I lost my cool but not my confidence. He was surprised to find himself beside me.”Morning, Emily" Liam said, his morning voice deep and husky, which made me realize I rarely get to listen to Liam's morning voice while we were together.He
Liam hid a smile between his lips; he raised the fork and chewed the meat on it slowly. I can't believe Liam is smiling right now. Even if it's just for a short moment, I saw it.“It was fun to see you all cooped up inside the wardrobe. Was it fun watching us too?” Liam asked, his voice filled with malice.I scoffed, dropping the fork in my hand as I shot a dead glare at Liam. “Why do you think I was looking for you?” I asked Liam with my eyebrows raised at him.“I saw you, and it felt as if you were about to cry,” Liam replied, pushing my buttons.A laugh actually bubbled out of me like music. “In your dreams,” I said and carried the plate with me. I stood up and left Liam's side, not in the mood to listen to him again when I was supposed to be eating.He didn't say anything more when I left his side and sat down on the bed to eat my food. I was done eating but to sleep right now was the problem. Looking at Liam's way, he was still sitting on the couch with a glass of wine in his han
Woah. I can't believe girls can be so blunt like this. Even when I was crushing on Liam in the past, I never openly confess my feelings. But girls these days are now bold and Georgia is no exception. She never hesitated to go after what she wanted. Georgia let the thin strap of the dress fall off her shoulders, showing off her cleavages. Her smouldering eyes watched Liam with intrigue. The girl is a great seductress but I doubt Liam will be interested when all he wanted was Aysel all these while. I scoffed inside the closet, wondering why I even was here in the first place. “Why are you looking at me that way Liam?" She asked, but I couldn't see Liam's expression because his back was actually facing me. Reading Georgia's expression is actually fun. She will give up sooner or later but she wasn't hurt yet. ”I told you I miss you. Won't you even ask me how I got to know you are here?" She asked with her forefinger in between her lips. She must have followed Liam. The girl is inde

The hotel staff served the food inside the plate and left. Liam sat on the couch and made himself comfortable. He didn't bother to call me as he picked up a fork and a spoon. He wasn't looking at me as if he was going to rip the clothes off my body now.Rubbing my palms together, I sat on the small space left beside Liam. At least, he wouldn't dare to touch me since I am hungry right now.I dug in the spoon, ready to eat when but the moment the fork touched the food, the doorbell suddenly rang.I froze, wondering who could be at the door this late at night since the hotel staff already left. Liam stood up, a look of curiosity on his face, and walked over to the intercom. He pressed a button, and a voice came through the speaker."Hello?" the voice said and Liam's eyes flicked to me, and then back to the intercom. "Georgia," he said, his voice low and even. "What are you doing here?"I felt a surge of panic as I heard Georgia's name. What was she doing here? And why was Liam letting h
When I walked back to the suite, Liam was already dressed up in a pair of black pants while he tucked his hand inside the pocket of his pants. I forgot to mention that the hotel suite has a glass wall at one part in which you can look outside the world down from above.Without making a noise, I tiptoed to where my clothes were and quickly brought out the pyjamas I brought with me. My hands roamed inside the suitcase but there was no sign of the pyjamas. I grind my teeth together. Liam was still looking outside the glass wall. He was holding a glass filled with wine in his hand.He wouldn't have noticed me right?The pyjamas should be lying inside the suitcase because I made sure I brought it with me just because I have a feeling that a situation like this might occur in which I will be forced to share a room with Liam.Still, I couldn't find it.“Are you looking for this?" I heard Liam ask and my heart almost jumped out of my chest in shock. I didn't even hear the sound of his foots
"Why are you doing this, Liam?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.Liam's eyes narrowed, and he took a step closer to me. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice low and husky as he tilted his head and his back bent to match my height.I swallowed hard, trying to find the words. "Why are you keeping me here? What do you want from me? I told you I want to take my bath," I said, bombarding him with questions while his eyes mirrored something I didn't understand.Liam's eyes seemed to bore into mine, and I could see the conflict raging within him. For a moment, I thought I saw a glimmer of the man I used to know, the man I loved before the sudden realization hit me. He was never mine, to begin with.Casting all my stupid emotions aside, I took in a deep breath, and this time, I decided to push Liam away by his chest, but instead, his expression hardened, and he reached out to grab my arm.I couldn't duck away because I knew my back would only hit the bed. I allow him to grab me. "H
