“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 ran to the VIP section to get my phone and small purse. There was no sign of Chelsea in where I left her but I want to believe she has probably left.Retrieving my purse on the table, I walked towards the entrance of the Clubhouse as far as my leg could take me. The loud music didn't stop blaring hard against my ears with every step I took. I want to believe, Liam wouldn't come after me. He can just spend the night here and pretend as if he didn't see me.I will also do the same. When I got outside the clubhouse, my head buzzed, almost spinning and I had to place my hand on the wall for support.Taking a deep breath in, I walked towards the roadside to take a taxi. The alcohol I mistakenly took had intoxicated me but I need to get home as soon as possible. I don't want to hurt my baby. However, it feels as if I already spent more than four hours inside the club and there was no sign of any taxi coming my way.Frustrated, I sucked the inside of my cheek before a car suddenly pulled
For a moment I thought Liam was kidding but this man was not fucking joking. Infact, Liam meant every word he said. His hand pulled the dress down from my collarbone and I jumped in fright, creating more space between us.”Are you fucking serious right now? I don't want you touching me" I yelled as tears streamed down my cheeks. I have vowed not to be weak in front of Liam or anyone again but then my emotions took the better of me as tears trickled down my cheeks. Maybe I expected Liam to suddenly back away, giving me the privacy I want but Liam didn't. The truth is I was scared and I was happy when I saw him but a part of me was annoyed to see Liam among his friends while strippr dancing among them. I was actually Infuriated but there was nothing I could do.Liam only walked towards me, closing the distance between us and I swallowed the lump at the back of my throat.Liam lifted me up the floor in a bridal style whileI kept on hitting his chest.“Let me go!"“Get your hands off
After dropping the call I had with Chelsea, I made my way outside after having my bath. I was already dressed up, waiting for Thierry to approach me when I noticed Theirry was not in sight.There was no sign of him standing outside with the guards, which made my brows furrow until I heard the echoing footsteps behind me.”Where is Thierry?" I asked Liam who was dressed in a gray suit with his raven black hair falling on his forehead.“I told you he would be sacked if he failed to drive you to wherever you go. It was a promise you made to me to be accountable for his actions," Liam explained in his deep voice as he closed the distance between us.My lips parted as air escaped my lungs because Liam was fucking right about what he said. I promised to let Thierry take me everywhere, but I broke that promise first.“If you want to punish anyone, then punish me. He did nothing wrong," I said; my voice was a little bit calm, but internally, I knew Liam wouldn't let this go just like that.Li
When I woke up, the first message that popped up on my phone was Liam's message. Today is the day we will be travelling for the business trip. ”Meet me at my place at exactly 9 a.m. Emily. You can't come late."I read the message and cringe, a shiver of unease gripped me as I made my way to the bathroom. I took my bath and brushed my teeth. Xavier already left with Chelsea this early morning. I have entrusted my son to Chelsea care to take care of.Unpacking my clothes from the wardrobe, folding them and placing them inside my suitcase. It was already Past 8 when I made my way outside. I took a taxi to Liam's place.After getting down from the car, I made my way towards the gate and knocked on it. The two guards positioned at the gate open the door and usher me in with surprise on their face. They must have recognised me. In the past,.I thought they wouldn't recognise me but I was wrong.To be back in here, it actually brought out old memories which I actually want to forget. “The bo
Xavier was the one who spotted me first before Vincent could even see me waiting at the door.“Mummy!" He cried out as he left Vincent's side. I hugged Xavier tight the moment he ran towards me. My little boy doesn't even look a bit tired, like the adult playing with him.”Mummy, I miss you", Xavier repeated, and a beautiful smile graced my lips. He must have missed me all day because he hasn't seen me.”Mum is sorry. I missed you too" I said and kissed his forehead. He smiled and bugged my neck with his fragile.”Now, go and sleep, Xavier." I said but I noticed a change in Xavier's expression. “I know you want to play more, but mummy and Uncle Vee need to talk." Xavier nodded his small head while I guided him upstairs to go and meet Chelsea. Chelsea smiled at me and carried Xavier inside. I went back to the sitting room while Vincent already stood beside one of the couches.”I want to thank you for today Vincent. I...I was confused about who to call and it was only your name that ca
I slept off inside the car but occasionally I woke up calling Xavier name. It almost felt like a dream but my instinct kept telling me i missed something and it was only Xavier name that rolled out of my tongue.As if I was actually right, I heard Vincent voice right in my head. “They are both at home safely" Vincent said, his voice smooth and calm. I heaved a sigh of relief as I succumb to the darkness that threatened to engulf me whole.When I twitched my eyes open again, it was the bright light coming from the bedside lamp that caught my attention first.However, slowly, I turn my head sideway and only to see Chelsea beside me.My eyes widened in shock as I sit up on the bed. “Easy Emily. You are going to hurt yourself at this rate" Chelsea said with caution, rubbing my back.“When did you get here Chelsea?” I asked, my voice filled with curiosity and concern. They couldn't have got here unless Vincent went to pick them up. ”And where is Xavier? I can't believe I got drunk when y
“Alright, everyone, since Mr. Liam knows where Ms. Emily is living, we will have to let the Boss go with her," I heard John say as he bowed his head in front of Liam.“Goodnight, boss," They chorus, offering Liam a deep bow, and I shake my head frantically in disbelief.Are they going to leave me here all alone with Liam?Where is their dignity?Before I could even stop them from leaving they all dispersed as if they weren't here with me just now.“Emily" Liam called my name, his tone soft and apologetic. Or maybe I was the one misinterpreting him.He took a step towards me but I raised my hand in the air. “W...Wait," I said softly, expecting him to back away, but he didn't.I am about to vomit right now because of the alcohol I took. Liam didn't even take anything.”You need to s... step back away from me," I said with a warning, and Liam seemed to notice what I meant.“Where are you living, Emily? I will take you there," Liam said, and that word seemed to snap me back to earth.At l
We arrived at the venue where the party will be held alongside the team members. However, some of the team members weren't with us yet so I thought they wouldBut just as Liam was about to take me away, my phone rang. I stumbled over to answer it, and I heard Vincent's voice on the other end."Hey, Emily," he said. "I'm outside the restaurant. I saw you stumbling out, and I thought I'd come to give you a ride home."I looked up at Liam, who was watching me with a mixture of concern and annoyance. "Vincent's here," I said, as I stumbled over to him. "He's going to take me home."Liam's expression turned dark, and he stepped forward. "I don't think that's a good idea, Emily," he said. "You're in no state to be going anywhere with anyone."But I just waved my hand at him and stumbled over to Vincent, who was waiting for me outside. "Thanks, Vincent," I said, as I collapsed into his arms. "I owe you one."Vincent smiled and wrapped his arms around me, holding me close. "Anytime, Emily," he
Liam didn't let me say anything as he dismissed me from the room right in front of Georgia. I walked inside my office room, trying to watch him through the open blinds separating us but Liam pressed the remote, blocking my view from everything that was supposed to go on in the room.I relaxed back in my seat, my nerves going erratic as I caught a handful of my hair in my fist.The girl sure has ulterior motives but I don't want to dwell on it. With time, I knew she would leave, but I was curious to know what they were talking about.* * *When it was almost 10 am, I picked up my note and pen with me as I stormed inside Liam's office in my long strides, the shoe making a soft click sound on the floor.“You have a meeting with the staff in a few minutes, Mr. Nolan," I said, and my eyes quickly darted around the room; there was no sign of the girl anymore in the room.“Yeah," Liam said, standing up from the seat. Before he left the room, his eyes raked over my body but then, he adjusted
Liam's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the girl who had just come in, but then pulse his lips, relaxing his back on the chair as he finally remembered who it was.He always has that expression on his face when he is sure of something. I try to remain calm as I take in her appearance. She had a baby face with stunning brown eyes. She used mascara and red lipstick on her lips. For real, she looks pretty.“Come on Liam. Stop acting as if you didn't know me when I fucking had a crush on you for good eight years." She said and turned her head sideways to take a better look at me.“This is Georgia," she said, turning around to show her eight figures to Liam's face. The girl sure has boldness and I love that.“Maybe I changed a little bit but you should still recognize me. I am Maddox's sister for crying out loud" She added and flashed him a smile.I thought Liam would treat her as a ghost when he suddenly took a sip from the coffee I made for him.“Welcome back, Georgia. What can I do for
Vincent came in early the next morning before Xander could leave for school. My eyes didn't miss the way they both played with each other before Xander bid Vincent good-bye to go to school. Vincent and I talk as if he didn't just confess to me yesterday but my stupid body reacted to his little touch as if I am a young teenager when I am not.“I will drive you to your place of work" Vincent said when he saw me checking the drawer for my car keys.“You don't have to bother yourself Vincent. I should thank you for staying with Xander this morning" I said and composed my expression, looking at him.“Allow me to stress myself Emily." Vincent said as he walked towards me It took me a great effort not to take a step back away from him.I swallowed hard when he got to my side and tucked some strands of hair behind my ear.“And I told you I won't hold back." Vincent said, his voice barely above a whisper as I held on to the side of my dress.“I won't stop myself from caring for you Emily. W
“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
