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
The car door was pulled open, and Georgia pulled me in for a hug before I finally got inside the car. Mrs Jones already shared a few words with me before I finally decided to leave. Liam made it mandatory that we leave early in the morning after Thierry brought along my suitcase. I bid everyone bye before Liam finally joined me in the back seat. Andrew didn't come out and I guess he must be embarrassed because of the fatal blow Liam gave him.There was silence in the car until we got to the airport. As usual, we had to drive the private jet back to Los Angeles. I slept soundly and only woke up when we got to Los Angeles. It was already past 6 o'clock when we onboarded. You2025-01-30 do”Liam!” I heard that familiar voice say the moment she saw Liam. I can't believe you travelled without informing me of your love” she whimpered like a kid.Aysel’s mouth opened agape when he saw me dragging my suitcase. I will tell a taxi driver my address and I hope the house wasn't jam-packed with t
EMILY'S POVThe feel of the water against my skin was almost freezing me and I wanted to scream, but before I could make a sound, Liam's hands were over my mouth, silencing me.I would recognise even in the darkness, and today, his large hand and the way he grabbed my waist gave him away. No strange man would handle me like that.Liam pressed his lower body against my back, holding me close as we sank beneath the surface of the water."Be patient, Emily," he whispered in my ear, his breath sending shivers down my spine. "Just relax," he said and an electric shock coursed through me.I tried to calm down, but it was hard with Liam's body pressed against mine like a second flesh. We were almost cuddling in the pool, and I could feel my heart racing with fear.Fear that people will see us and Liam will make the moment his.. that is his plan.“I’m not going to fuck you inside the water Emily. I will do that to you in a more convenient way and it will be memorable.” Liam said and I swallow
It was already past 4:30p.m. when Georgia finally came to drag me to her room. She didn't forget the party and she was adamant in bringing me along.Chelsea called me twice and told me Xavier actually asked about me while she told him I went on a business trip.Vincent sent me a text which I replied almost immediately because I was online when he texted me.“Somehow, I miss your presence and I felt like coming over. Tell me, do you want me to take you away from him.” I read Liam's text and smiled before sending my reply to him.It's been more than 2 hours but he refused to reply.“Emily, are you not going to sit?” Georgia asked and I shook my head. Good that he called me, I would have been lost in my thoughts.I stood in Georgia's room, feeling a bit awkward as I scanned her wardrobe. Georgia was rummaging through her clothes, trying to help me pick out a dress for the party, and I remember Chelsea was actually good at doing these two.She has helped me out countless times when I was
LIAM'S POVMy hand didn't stop itching even as we were descending the stairs to meet Mrs Jones and finalise the contract. I know Emily wasn't aware of me watching her but she was right when he said I already undressed her.When I got the dress, I didn't bother to check if I had to leave the room because I received a call from Rylan. He was already asking me to come back to Los Angeles because it seemed someone was actually watching him, and it had been going on for two days straight.But here I am staring at the back of a woman who would do anything to get on my nerves. I averted my gaze away from her when I saw Mrs Jones sitting in the dining room with papers in her hand while Andrew sat close beside her.His expression changed when he saw Emily and I know that look. He thought he could hide it, but I could see through his innermost desire. That lust in his eyes didn't disappear for one bit.“Good morning, Ma’am”, I greeted Mrs Jones first and sat down on the seat opposite to her whi
”Relax, that is the package” I heard Liam's voice and my feet remained glued to the floor as if I was in a trance state.”How are you so sure?” I asked Liam and my voice almost faltered. I erased Liam's presence in the room and focused on his head because the room suddenly became too stuffy for me to breathe in.His reply came almost immediately as he walked towards me.”Don't come closer!” I screamed in my head but I couldn't say it aloud. ”No one can disturb us until 8 Emily. Open the fucking door for the maid,” He said, and this time, I decided to look at his face, and I regretted ever looking at him.”You should get your head checked up.” I snapped and bit the inside of my cheek. ”You are acting as if you owned this place when all they did was help us out.” “Deep down, I know you are happy to see me,” Liam said out of the blue, and I wish I could wipe that smirk off his face.”Don't forget to get the package, Liam.” I said and disappeared inside the room. Forgetting everything
My eyes closed obeying my inner thoughts. And it was that perfect moment; Liam's lips touched my neck like a feather kiss. I tried to push him away with my front body, but instead, my chest collided with Liam's chest, and I heard him groan.The great fucking Liam Nolan just groan while his lips sucked that sweet spot of my neck. I felt an electric shock coursing through me. I knew he would stop if he realised what he had just done.Maybe Liam heard me because the next second, he moved his lips away from my neck and got down from the bed. I lifted my body off the bed with my Palms resting on the bed.I was also short of words not knowing what to say. It's not as if I don't know what to say but the truth is I don't know how I am going to do it when his expression is screaming guilty.“I will leave Emily “, Liam said and took one last look at me before jumping down the window of the room. I had to move towards the window to see if he actually got down safely.Silly me!He can just hurt h
”Do you seriously think I will accept that from you?” I asked, getting a bit frustrated. ”Ridiculing me, only to tell me that you forgive me?” I further asked, and a playful smile graced my lips like a fucking cond skin, and Liam's expression only hardened more as he gritted his teeth together.He will have to learn the word ‘patient’ and also work towards it if he wants to have a healthy conversation. At least he already knew that I would never back down from a discussion.”For what? Because I actually give a man another chance to love me. Things can't keep going the way you want them to be, Liam. I don't and will never consider you.” I made my point clear, but Liam's expression remained unfazed as if he didn't believe me.I think he is taking my words for granted and I don't like that. Liam looking at me like the same Emily from the past actually irked me.”You can't place a bet like that”, He said casually as he rested his back on the bed, his leg raised up as if he owned the fucki
Knock!And my heart nearly jumped out of my chest when I heard another knock. My eyes widened as I walked briskly towards Liam and dragged him by the collar of his shirt.His face was marred with amusement but it disappeared as if it wasn't just there a minute ago.Maybe I was actually hallucinating right now because how in the world did I manage to drag Liam across the room.“See Liam. Let's forget about the games you played in front of everyone while we were eating.” I said, the words rushed out of my lips. ”Georgia is at the door right now, you will have to do as I say.” I said, my hand not leaving his collar, nor did I miss the way his eyes raked my body.Another knock came, and I lost my cool. I opened the wardrobe and pushed Liam in without batting an eyelid. I was expecting him to have a look of shock, but instead, he was actually looking at me as if he could read through me. It was as if he got my plan that I was actually trying to pay him back the same way I had to hide in th
Georgia unlocked the door of the room as if to distract herself. She just asked me a question, and truth be told, I'm debating in my mind about how to reply her.“Why did you think he had fallen for me? I don't think he has a heart to the extent of falling in love with someone like me” I replied, trying not to disclose my past relationship to her. She was the same girl who visited Liam all in the name of having sex. “Come on, Emily,” She said, giving me a light tap on the shoulder before pressing the switch and the light from the bulb brightened the room, swallowing every darkness present.”Did you know how many women were dying just to be in the same space as Liam?” Georgia asked and I had to flash back. I was once like that too.”We all know he is a very handsome man and a successful man at that. He is every woman's dream.” She made that mental note, and I want to agree with her, but I am actually a successful woman. Though Liam wouldn't be aware right now I knew he already had a d
