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
EMILY'S POVLiam was calling me his wife again, and strangely, I suddenly liked the name.“Emily woke up. It's just the alcohol working" I chant in my head like a lullaby.Liam took three steps towards me, closing the gap between them as he cornered me to the wall.“What are you doing here looking all ravishing like a dessert," Liam asked and his breath fell on the shell of my lips.“Oh God," I thought as I gazed at him with my amber orbs. “How could you wear this type of dress after my warning, sweet?" Liam said with contempt in his voice. It felt as if he was trying hard to hold back himself but I wasn't getting myself either.“You don't own me, Liam. I can wear whatever I want and..." whatever I was going to say got swallowed back when Liam suddenly shook his head while his hand grazed my exposed thigh like an electric shock.“I didn't say you could wear this and let a man hold you like that; what do you want people to say about you?"A gasp escaped my lips when his hand suddenly
“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. But my freedom was short-lived when my phone suddenly
