“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
LIAM'S POVThe ride home wasn't fun, but I was actually planning to tease Emily inside the car. To my astonishment, Emily slept inside the car like a baby with no care about the world.I didn't wake her up despite feeling the urge, too, because of her beautiful face up close.“I think I might have let you get too close to me, Emily," I muttered, knowing fully well that she couldn't see me.I pulled out my phone and dialled a number on my call log.“Hello Liam, it's a pleasure to hear your voice." The voice boomed through the speaker of my phone.However, I didn't have time to beat around the bush. “I need you to find every fucking piece of information about Slyveter and get back to me," I said and there was silence from the other end.“Don't fucking tell me you have no information, Rylan. You know I am still pissed because of what happened at the club.”“C'mon Liam. You know I took care of the guys. And believe me when I said I gave them just what they deserved. No one will find out,"
EMILY'S POVXavier kissed my cheek before going outside with Chelsea because his school bus was already around. I was already done preparing for work when Chelsea came back “What is going to happen now?” Chelsea asked and I puffed my cheeks before exhaling.“I will just go to work like a normal secretary but I won't let him have his way with me,” I said and packed my hair into a bun. “The worst scenario is to inform him I already have a child,”, I said, and Chelsea's eyes almost popped out of her socket.“What?” She asked with her eyes widened. “He won't take that information lightly Emily,” Chelsea said and I know she was actually trying to tell me to reconsider this, but I can't.,Liam will have to deal with this information himself and I even wonder why I decided to keep him from him when I can just inform him that Vincent is the father. He already accused me of getting pregnant for him so this won't cause a shock to me. He will finally find a good reason to hate me more “He will
AYSEL'S POVThe moment I ended the call, his message came in. I can't believe he wasn't even living that far away from here. I kickstart the car engine and drive out of the compound.A few minutes later, I parked the car In front of the huge gate and honked loudly. Two men walked up to the gate and pulled it open. I drove in slowly and stopped when they instructed me to stop.The men checked my face before allowing me to go in and I drove in. Getting down from the car, I walked towards the entrance and pressed the doorbell gently. The door opened, and I came in; my eyes darted around the room. “I told you to leave now, can't you hear me?” I heard a familiar voice yelling. A girl squealed before running out of the room. She passed me by with her clothes clutched to her hand.Walking towards the sitting room, I saw Andrew putting on his trousers. He took the glass containing the wine from the table and drank from it.“Why are you standing there all alone? Come here,” He said, and I wal
AYSEL’s POV“Mum, you can't tell me to just sit around when Dad already made it clear that I am no longer allowed to enter the company premises,” I said, my voice usually loud today compared to any other day and I don't know why I was even taking out my anger on Mother when he clearly did her best Still, I am disappointed in her for letting me sleep over in a cell room.“Aysel, Mother will never let that happen,, Hun. I will talk to your father…” She said, her voice laced with worry but I didn't even care. I cut her off before she could finish her statement.“What? You are still going to talk to Dad. Just like the same way you refused to bring in a lawyer that should have helped me in the interrogation room.” I yelled and yanked her hand away from touching me.“Aysel” She screamed and gripped my shoulder. “I told you it was because he told me the lawyer was on his way. I didn't know it was a lie.” Mother said and swallowed hard. “It was not intentional for me to look at you that way
EMILY'S POV Laura came to her daughter's rescue just in time. “I won't allow you to do that Brandon. Aysel is your daughter before you even know this so-called Emily. She is trying to ruin it.” Laura said but Father ignored her.Aysel felt a bile rise up in her throat as the officer led her towards where she was going to write her statement. She couldn't believe what was happening. Her father, the man she had always admired and respected, was turning against her because of her character but she failed to realise that. That's what she deserved for playing dirty.“You will learn how to speak to me, Laura. I am still the head of the household.” Father snapped but then, he grabbed the back of his head. “Meet me at home then you will see the huge loss your child caused to the company I built with my sweat.” Father retorted back and left the police station.Laura walked towards him, “So now she is no longer your child Brandon. This is a misunderstanding. At least try to get her out of here
However, Father nodded curtly and turned to face me. “She is going to confess right now, but please pardon me, Emily,” Father said and I decided to take his words seriously.This is the second time my father will ever ask me for a favour after the arranged marriage I had with Liam. Even now, he regrets leaving me with him and he rarely calls me after our divorce.”Ms Aysel, are you admitting that you voluntarily pushed Miss Emily down?” the cop asked Aysel and tears trickled down her face as she swallowed hard.“I… I did it,” Aysel said, and I looked at her puffed cheeks as she continued to sob hard like a kid.”I pushed Emily down the stairs,” Aysel said and shot daggers at me when she said that.She must have thought I was going to flare up in her anger but I didn't.“Ms Emily. Do you want us to press charges against her?” The officer asked and for a minute, I recalled what my father said before.“let her go. I only want her to tell the truth.” I said and decided to gamble with her
Emily's pov”You were both caught by the CCTV camera walking down the stairs. And the nearby camera caught you two arguing before you suddenly pushed her down. I believe you know this is an attempted murder?” The cop said and blood drained from Aysel's face, her face flushed red.“I didn't push her down,” Aysel said with gritted teeth and looked at my way. “Tell them I didn't push you. You are trying to manipulate me from telling the truth Emily. I didn't push you down,” Aysel said with her raised at me, but I didn't flinch.This is exactly the kind of emotion I wanted from her. She should feel the same pain I passed through when she pushed me down the stairs. I guess this incident must have jogged her memory back to realize this has happened before but instead of me in her position, she is in my position. “I have other evidence to back up Miss Emily's claim,” the attorney beside me said and took out some files from her bag.She gave it to the Cop and read what was in it aloud for bo
EMILY'S POV“My lawyer will be joining her soon,” she said and walked inside to meet her daughter.My lips widened with a smile, hearing his reply. “It is going to get interesting soon", I said, and not long after, a black van was parked in front of the police station, and high school girls, including college boys, got down.“Where is the bitch. Get her out now!" One of the girls screamed wildly with a crate of eggs sitting on her hand."Get her out! Get her out!" Others chorus in unison."Emily. Don't tell me you did this?" Vincent asked, his eyes calculative as he checked my expression for any hint but I didn't reveal any."Let's get in," I said and walked inside the building. "I didn't know I had crazy fans like this," I added quickly.The police will try to handle the girls outside while I will try to steam things up inside. Vincent approached one of the cops who directed us to where Aysel was being held. Laura was standing outside the receptionist hall while I assumed Aysel was
EMILY'S POV“You this bitch,” Laura said with gritted teeth, her body shaking as she held onto my hand. “You think I will let you go just like that?” She said mockingly and a smirk graced the corner of my lips.She must think I am still the same little weak girl. Well, I am the one in charge now, she can just disappear for all I care.I know she hasn't seen the news yet. Sooner or later, it will circulate the company premises and the shareholders will soon be aware of what kind of person Aysel is.Father might try not to let everyone know about what is going on but I am sure she won't be able to keep her position anymore.“Oh, Mother,” I said in a mocking voice, with my eyes filled with concern. This is just the tip of the iceberg for me. Acting has always been what I would have done if studying in school didn't work out.“I'm sorry but I am in a hurry right now,” I said and took a glance at my wristwatch. “Can I come back to meet you later? I have an urgent matter to attend to.” I sa
The light filtered in through the open window. My phone rang loudly on the bed while I was busy packing the clothes I wore last night inside the bag. Vincent was the one who helped me get a new set of clothes to wear this early morning before I could get discharged. ”Pick the call, I will be outside waiting for you” Vincent said after making sure I didn't forget anything. He took the bag I packed in my clothes away. I wanted to laugh but I actually held myself back. Perhaps, Vincent might already know who was calling which was why he decided to leave. Standing beside the bed, I took the phone and checked the caller ID. It was Chelsea. With my hand clenched around the phone, I gritted my teeth together. How could Vincent tell Chelsea what happened just like that? The phone stopped ringing only for me to realise that I hadn't picked up her call. Chelsea's call came in again and I had to pick it this time. “Emily. How are you?” Chelsea's panic voice filled my eardrum and I bit my
