Thierry drove the car out of the mansion and my gaze flickered between the road side and my phone. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be pissed right now or laugh because Liam's behavior was uncalled for. It was very hard for me to believe I actually fell for Liam's trick which prompted me to ask Thierry a important question.“Thierry, how did you know Liam?” I asked while browsing through my phone.Thierry looked at me through the rear mirror and our eyes made contact. I was actually expecting him to look at it because this is the first time I will ever ask Thierry a question relating to his and Liam's relationship.“Mr. Liam saved me from a group of loan shark thugs that threaten to sell part of my body if I refuse to pay my father's debt” Theirry said in a detached tone and I knew there was more to his story.“I met Mr. Liam one day when I was getting beaten up by the roadside. He took care of the men like a hero and hired me as his guard” Thierry concluded and I couldn't help but
“One more thing," Laura added and stopped. I raised my eyebrows at her, waiting to hear whatever she was going to spit out of that filthy mouth.“Are you still going to divorce him?" Laura asked and I connected the dots. She is talking about Liam and me. Is she that happy with the news with the hope that Aysel will finally get to be by Liam's side?“We both know you are not worthy of Liam and I am glad you decided to leave him," Laura added and adjusted the bag in her hand. Laura's face was still young and pretty as always. It makes me wonder if she is ever getting old because of her young features.Despite her beauty, she is just ugly inside and her character is rotten.“Liam can finally go back to Aysel, and I believe Aysel will produce good children compared to your barren self," Laura snickered with a smirk on her face as she waved her hand in the air.“Mum!" Aysel chipped in like a good child. ”I am not even pregnant for him yet," She whined, pouting her cheeks as she held on
I don't know how I am going to go to the hospital when Theirry is still in the car.“Is there anything we can do about Thierry?" Chelsea asked as if reading my mind.“I will just tell him I need to go somewhere with you and we will be back in a few minutes," I said and Chelsea agreed to go with my plan.When we got outside, I walked straight to Chelsea's car. Knocking on the door, Thierry rolled down the glass window and bowed his head before raising it.“I need to go somewhere with Chelsea and we will be back in thirty minutes," I said, but Thierry tensed up in the seat. “I mean it. 30 minutes," I added.“Alright, ma'am," he replied.“I will take my car," Chelsea said and I followed her.After leaving Chelsea Boutique with her car, we drove straight to the hospital. Ezekiel, Chelsea's brother, already told me to do some tests, which I did.I and Chelsea sat on the chair in his office when he came in a few minutes later.“Hope I didn't delay you much?" Ezekiel asked and I and Chelsea
When I walked closer to the entrance, I wasn't expecting Liam to have company but the moment I pulled the door open, Liam was actually on call with someone.Silly me! I thought he was with Aysel or maybe Aysel already found her way home. I shut the door and walked past Liam who stood beside the window.“Where are you going, Emily?" Liam asked as he dropped the phone to his side. He was already done with the call. Liam walked towards me and stood beside the couch in the living room.“Where does it seem like I am going? To my room, of course," I retorted in a cold tone and gripped the bag in my tight.“I told you about the event we need to attend. You should get ready," Liam said, and I blinked my eyes at him with my eyebrows raised.”Oh, sure," I murmured before looking at him. “But you tricked me into believing that Thierry will get sacked," I said more as a statement than a question.Liam smiled as he glided his hand through the material of the couch in slow motion. ”I didn't actua
Chelsea texted me that she was already on her way while Liam only concentrated on driving. I checked the site where my book was; I was surprised to see I already have a lot of readers.A smile spread across my lips as I read their comments. It was just a form of distraction to me because I didn't know how Aysel convinced Liam.The car stopped at the parking lot, and I got down with Liam. As usual, it was already bustling with a lot of people.”Try not to let them get suspicious, Mr. Nolan," I said with gritted teeth, and I saw Liam almost chuckling.Maybe it ear just my eyes fooling me after all. Liam held out his arms and I tugged on his clothes. Liam smiled at me and I did the same, returning the smile.We both walked closer to the entrance and then there were low murmurs occurring among the guests who came to congratulate Laura.“Isn't she beautiful?"I heard someone said as I walked inside the hall alongside Liam.“That is Mr. Liam's wife." A feminine voice spoke as we entered the
“You didn't tell me I need one," Chelsea responded and tucked some strands of her hair behind her ear. “And just so you know, my boyfriend will be coming back tomorrow. So you can imagine the feeling" Chelsea added and looked at my face.I chuckled slightly and rolled my eyes at her. ”I guess I will be seeing him again," I replied calmly.”In your dreams Emily. I'm going to tie him up tomorrow. He is not going anywhere and..." Chelsea stopped and looked around as if she was inspecting if someone was eavesdropping on our conversation.“I miss Sex, Emily," Chelsea whispered, and my cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.“Fuck Emily. You are so red. Stop acting like an innocent girl," Chelsea reprimanded, and I wish I could stop too, but Chelsea is just too blunt with her replies.“I will not listen to any of your conversations anymore," I said and averted my gaze to the stage.Aysel looked exactly like Laura's daughter as she stood on the stage. She has always been confident and wouldn'
“Hi, Vincent. It's nice to see you here," I said with a smile spread across my lips. Vincent walked closer to me and pulled me in for a friendly hug. Without looking over his shoulder, I knew Liam must be looking at my way now.Vincent looked at Diana and Chelsea and I was glad he didn't know either of them. For a while, I thought Diana was Vincent's girlfriend. At least, no one is going to sabotage my plan now.“This is Chelsea and Diana," I said, looking at Vincent. He bowed his head slightly and Chelsea did the same. “This is Vincent, a friend of mine," I said, introducing Vincent to Diana and Chelsea.Diana was the one who quickly walked up to Vincent. “Hi, handsome. It's nice to see you here," Diana said in a calm tone, which made Chelsea roll her eyes.Of course, Diana wouldn't hesitate to go after any man who seems to be financially okay and handsome. This is why Diana never dated a guy for two months.Vincent smiled at her and turned to face me. “I didn't know it was Laura's
Liam walked towards me like a predator for a while. It felt as if I was in the lion's den, and I doubted if I would be able to escape this feral beast.There was no one in the restroom. Perhaps the women already knew something like this would be happening.Maybe this is the spot where couples will quickly do a quickie to ease tension because I can't fucking explain how Liam got here.“You have gone crazy, Emily," Liam said with a playful grin, and I staggered backwards while he continued walking towards me.Why must it be a restroom every time? Why can't he just corner me outside? But Liam loves his privacy.“You only asked me a question and I only replied." I reprimanded and my back hit the wall at the same time.Fuck!Now there is no fucking escape. Liam stood in front of me, and I glared at him coldly, but I was fucking wrong.What did I say about not looking at Liam? What did I say about Liam Nolan being an attractive man? Liam pressed his face towards me and I stopped breathing
EMILY'S POV"I will give you the necklace at the right time, Emily. I love the way it fits your neck Perfectly." Liam said and I wanted to smile right now but I swallowed it back. He should keep trying, maybe things will work out between us."I didn't tell you that I don't know how to get a necklace for myself," I said and stood in front of father office room."I didn't know I was the only man who could give you that because how did you know?" He asked and I wish I could run away right now."Well, Chelsea told me," I lied and he looked at me as if he could read through my lie."Why do I not find your answer convincing." He said and I quickly walked past him."I don't care about your opinion," I said and knocked on the door slightly. "Welcome, Liam," He said and Liam offered a bow. We walked towards the couch to sit down. I didn't bother to sit beside him and father seems to have seen what I am up to."I should have come to meet you straight, Father, but I wanted to see Emily first,"
EMILY'S POV"What are you doing here?" I asked Liam because I didn't expect him to find him in my personal office room this morning.And today at that. It's not that the thought hasn't crossed my mind but coming this early is what I didn't expect.I have been meaning to go to Liam's office room to question him about the necklace today but when I called Ms Linda, she told me no one had spotted Liam this morning.But now, he showed up in my office room, wearing a shirt that exposed part of his muscular chest."What do you think? I came to see how you are coping in your new office room. Also, to check if you miss me or not," he replied, and I should have expected that reply.Good that he even came because I have been wanting to ask about the necklace from him."Suit yourself but there is no coffee or tea for you Liam" I said but before he could reply, a knock came from the door."Come in" I said and one of the staff came in. I already forgot her name but she is working in the sales depar
LIAM'S POV"Oh, you wish?" He replied, his voice hoarse and dead. I wonder if he is even eating well.The prosecutor excused us while Thierry was still outside waiting at the door."What is it that you have to say?" I asked as I adjusted my tie around my neck. "Do you think it's all over if you keep me here?" He asked like a loser."I thought you like this place, isn't that why you refuse to say anything?" I retorted but that didn't seem to work because he smiled."You don't really know who you are dealing with Liam. Where did you keep my boys?" He inquired and I could see a hint of fear in his eyes and curiosity."Is that why you call me here? I am actually a busy man and I have a place to go right now" I said, ready to leave but I heard a light thud on the table."Emily," Andrew called, not saying anything more as he looked at me with a smirk on his face.And that one name made me stop but I didn't let the weakness show. I am more of a pro when it comes to hiding my emotions."If I
LIAM'S POVThierry sent a message to me concerning Andrew who is in the prosecutor's custody. Report came to me that he will soon be charged to court and he keeps insisting that he won't talk until he sees me. All evidence points to him making it hard for his lawyer to defend him. There was no breakthrough for him which is why he decided to maintain his right to be silent.However, he was charged to court and yet, he keeps insisting that he needs to see me, which is why I had to dress up this morning just to see him."Sir, do you think we should at least take his underlings to him? If they confess, he will have no choice but to give in because everyone is against him." Theirry said, though I would have done that but I know it won't work because one of them will eventually take the Fall. They will even deny him all because they want him out by all means."Those guys have been trained not to speak up and instead, remain loyal to him," I said and descended the stairs slowly. It still f
EMILY'S POV"Why would I lie about that?" Vincent said, looking at me and I realized he wasn't joking.Then there is only one person my mind goes to, Liam. Could he be the one who gave me the necklace?If it's someone Chelsea knows then it should be Liam since Vincent denied being the one."Vincent, I'm sorry but you need to excuse me for a while. I need to hurry home because Xavier will be back soon" I quickly said and unlocked the door."When will I see you then?" He asked, trying not to pry too much. "I don't know if we will get to see each other because I might be busy. Thanks for the bouquet" I said and shut the door.Vincent waved at me and watched as I drove the car out. My mind was reeling as I gripped the steering wheel, realization dawned on me. Liam's eyes were filled with mischief yesterday and I should have known the way he acted was suspicious. He saw the necklace and didn't bother asking anything about it.The dance, the videos online, it was all his plan all along a
EMILYS’S POVAysel came back with a cup of coffee for both me and Father. I could see the irritating look on her face when she gave me the coffee but there was nothing she could do. She is still at my mercy because I could change my mind. I know Father wanted to make sure principle was uploaded between us compared to Laura who always tried to make sure I suffered.‘Now that you and Emily have reconciled, can you wait in the other room till I'm done with your sister? I need to discuss it with your sister and you aren’t supposed to be there.’’ Father said but I could notice the blood drained from Aysel's face.“But Dad, I thought I should be there because this is something concerning the company."Maybe you have forgotten I owned this place, Aysel. This is my company and you can't tell me how to run it." Father said, anger evident in his voice as he clenched his hand around the glass cup. "Or have you already forgotten what you did?" Father asked and that seemed to work.Aysel took her
EMILY'S POVJust like what I expected of Aysel. My instinct kept telling me she would not stay idle while I worked at my father's company. After the terrible news about her being a bully, the people despise her in the span of 24 hours."Let her go," Father said and the guards let her be. "You can leave," Father ordered the men.Aysel eyes and mine made eye contact and then she tried to fake the pitiful face again.The moment they left, Aysel walked towards Father and went on her knees. She used the tissue in her hand to blow her nose before raising her head.Woah. She actually came prepared."What are you doing here Aysel? Didn't I tell you not to come back here and you want rumours to spread about you again, then the stock price will plummet?" Father asked and Aysel exclaimed no, sobbing with her cheeks wet.She placed her bag on the floor and placed her hand on her lap. “No Dad. I actually came because I realised what I did was bad,” she said and sniffled. The drama Queen wasn’t d
EMILY'S POVI squeezed my eyes open when I heard my phone ringing. I picked up my phone and checked who the caller was. It was Dad calling. Yes. I almost forgot that I will be joining his company today. "Hello, Dad. Good morning," I said and I heard his voice from the other end."Morning Emily. I hope you are already set to come to the company today." Father asked and I smiled and graced my lips because the truth is, I was actually ready to come and I couldn't wait to see what Aysel's face would look like if I eventually saw me at the company."Yes, Father. I will be coming to the company today before 9. am," I responded and Father chuckled."I hope Aysel will come to her senses soon before it is too late. Why can't she even learn from you?" Father asked but I couldn't reply.I knew he was a forgiving man who would likely take Emily if she became remorseful for her actions."I think she will realise sooner than you expect, Father," I said and got up from the bed. When I looked at the
Aysel's POVMy phone rings, stirring me up from my deep slumber. It was already past 9, and I wondered who could be calling me by this time of the night. With my eyes half closed, I dragged my hands around the bed in search of my phone.When I finally saw it, I checked the caller. It was the reporter I gave the job to. I already forgot I hadn't sent the pictures of Emily and Vincent to him.But the hit killer has sent the pictures to me. I picked up the call and pressed the phone to my ear."Hello. Sorry, I should have informed you that the pictures are ready" I said in a low tone, still trying to get rid of the sleep."Ms Aysel. I didn't call you about that. Have you seen the news?" She asked in a nervous tone."Which news?" I asked as I placed the other side of my cheek on the pillow."The video clip of Ms Emily and Mr Liam dancing." She answered and my heart skipped a beat in shock.The video of Emily and Liam dancing?"I don't know what you are talking about. Hold on" I said and q
