The party was already coming to an end after Laura and my father gave their last speech. The people were already starting to disperse. I took my purse with me and left the hall because of the sudden need to empty my bladder. The space was empty when I got inside. I stepped inside one of the stalls and got my thing done. I was ready to step out of the stall when the door was pushed open, followed by echoing footsteps. “Did you see the way Aysel danced with Liam Nolan? Do you think they have things going on between them?" I pressed my ear against the door frame to listen to their conversation better. “I wouldn't be surprised if the two are dating. Have you forgotten the way Aysel was when she heard about Emily getting married to Liam? She nearly killed herself." My jaw dropped when I heard what the girl said and I shook my head in disbelief. My lips trembled when I listened to more of their conversation. I recognize the voice. It was none other than Aysel's friends. I recognize t
“Liam, stop it. I told you I wanted a divorce," I said but no words came out of my lips. It was all in my head and maybe a part of me wanted this. Maybe a part of me still hopes Liam will eventually come to love me and not my sister but this is just wishful thinking. What kind of temptation is this? “Look at you getting red, Emily. Tell me," Liam said with sarcasm before moving his hand resting down the side of my body. “You want this" He said his hot mint breath fell on my neck. My body flushed as his hand trailed the curve of my body. I almost closed my eyes to enjoy this beautiful feeling and also let it take over my entire being as desires pulsated through me. Liam took a few steps back and pinched the middle of his eyebrows, leaving me all alone and I felt alone. ”What is the meaning of what you just did, Liam?" I asked after taking a deep breath. My face is still as red as a tomato because I suddenly feel hot from inside. He already riled me up without touching
Liam burst into a fit of laughter the moment I uttered those words. I frowned, not knowing what prompted the reaction.”If you are going to keep on weighing your options because of that claim of yours about Aysel, I would love to see your proof, Emily." Liam said, straightening his back.“You can as well answer my question. Just a yes or no would do, Mr. Nolan," I replied before taking my purse from the floor while a part of me waited for the devil's reply.“Will my answer satisfy you, Emily? I doubted that, but don't take my words lightly. I meant everything I said," Liam said before storming out of the room while my eyes trailed over him until the door was shut.The moment Liam left, I slumped to the floor while my hand didn't stop shaking. There is one more thing I forgot to remember about Liam.He is the type to never go back on his words and I mean it. Liam is going to divorce me like I said but that doesn't mean he will let me be like that without trying to get connected to me p
I stormed into my room, closing the door behind me with a loud thud. Liam and I didn't talk throughout the drive and he didn't try to engage in any conversation with me. He was as silent as ever.I took off my heels and undressed before walking naked into the bathroom. The white bulb made the room look even brighter, but strangely, his scent still lingered in the room.The bathtub was filled with warm water and the steam rose slowly from it. I got into the bathtub, letting my racing nerves relax with the calm water.After washing myself up inside the bathtub, I wrapped the towel around my body.“You think I can't get him, huh? Just watch me, Emily. Don't come begging me when he is finally with me," Aysel's words replayed in my mind.Those were her last words before I left the hall. It might have looked as if she was bluffing, but Aysel is never the type to let her guard down, and she meant every word.I looked at my stomach, which still appeared flat. There is still some time for me t
The maids came in before I could finish bathing and my clothes were already laid down for me on the bed. “Good morning, ma'am." The two girls chorused with their heads bowed.I still remember their name from my past life. The short girl is Annie while the tall, brunette girl is Bentley.“Morning Bentley," I said with a beautiful smile on my lips. I sat down in front of the dressing mirror while they walked towards me to help with dressing up.As usual, they got me the kind of dress I usually wore. A long dress that reaches my legs and its flair, not showing any of my curves. They combed my hair and made it curly at the end. When they were done, I wore the dress and twirled around. I can't believe I loved wearing this back then.“Ma'am, do you want us to apply the makeup?" It was Bentley who asked me and I could see the look of confusion and surprise in their eyes. There were surprised to see makeup kit in the room which I got last night from Chelsea.“Yes, I will be using it," I sa
“Then why is your cheek becoming pink, Wifey? Don't tell me you are having silly thoughts in the middle of signing divorce papers." “You must be delusional to think that my cheeks were red because of whatever perverted words you said, Mr. Nolan," I said, already pissed off. Liam nodded his head with a thoughtful look before relaxing his back on the couch. “I didn't say anything about my words but now that you mention it, what perverted words have I said, Wifey?" Liam replied with a smug smile.My heart beat frantically in my chest in nervousness. I indeed applied some blush on my cheeks so Liam wouldn't have known if I was blushing or not.“Can I sign the papers now? Please the pen," I said, changing the topic. Liam held the pen in his hand before stretching the pen out for me to take. I swallowed back nervously before standing up to take the pen from him.I felt a jolt of electricity traveling down my spine when my fingers suddenly brushed Liam's hands. My lips parted slightly as
The drive to the nearest hospital didn't take long but my phone didn't stop beeping because of the several notifications I received. My followers already increased on Inst*gram with different messages in my inbox.Liam's picture and I had been the trending topic and the media was bustling with making up story about our marriage life. I pulled my car to the parking lot and sighed when I was sure no one was in the parking lot with me.There is no presence of reporters and...What am I even thinking? Liam has always been the type to take the spotlight and this is why reporters are always everywhere he goes. I couldn't blame him because he is handsome and wealthy.I had to admit that he is almost every girl type but I am not one of his fan anymore. Let's say I already count myself out or something.I was glad I came with my nose mask because I didn't want anyone seeing my face thereby recognising me. It will only arouse suspicion about what I am doing in the hospital.If there was anythi
LIAM'S POV I sat lazily on the chair while going through some of the documents Rachel submitted to me for review.However, my entire being was elsewhere and I felt my dick throb at the thought of her alone. Emily is driving me nuts and the funniest part is that she wasn't even trying to impress me before but now she is different.She is totally different, and it scared me, yet it also warmed my heart knowing Emily could invoke such a wild reaction from me.I have fucked Emily six times. Ofcourse, I was keeping the count because we both have to do it because she needed to get pregnant. We have been married for a year now. I wasn't planning on touching her but when my father coerced me and her, we were forced to consummate our marriage but to my astonishment, Emily was a virgin.I still remember her crying vividly that very night in my arm. Thinking about it now only makes my dick hard, fighting for dominance to bury it inside Emily's warm cunt.There was a slight knock on the door, a
EMILY'S POVTwo hours later, I was done correlating the data. Liam is actually helpful and he actually did most of the work. I can boldly say I will be able to do this easily all thanks to him for helping me out.I called John to come and take the result I had already compiled into the file folder as a soft copy. "Can you at least let me go and print out the files?" I asked but Liam was actually against the idea.He hasn't let me go since and I think he is enjoying this. I wasn't in the mood to banter words with him so I let him go."Why can't he do that for you? Your personal secretary, I mean," Liam said but what he didn't know is that John was not my personal secretary but someone who was supposed to assist me. Though I am still his boss, both in and outside of the company premises, I still want him to be free in the company until I learn from him."I wish to do it myself. Thanks got your help." I said and tried to stand up but Liam held me down by placing his hand on my waist."
EMILY'S POVLiam came again to visit me and I doubt he will even get tired of this. He is a CEO, for crying out and if we are spotted together, there will be problems because not everyone will love our Union and most people don't even know we were divorced in the past.Linda called me this morning and tried to express herself about how she misses me. One other thing she mentioned is that she wishes Liam and I were actually together.I mean, she is so honest and keeps telling me that the chemistry between us actually clicked. Just see that; she is literally the best girl any man would want because she can see through People.Shaking the thought off my mind, I walked towards Liam and sat down in front of him."What is it again?" I asked in an irritating voice because if care is not taken I will get accustomed to Liam's presence in the office room."You can keep doing whatever you want. I just want to keep on watching you," Liam said with a playful grin on his lips and I swallowed hard.
AYSEL'S POVI thought Dad would reach out to me but he didn't. I was even more surprised when I didn't receive any call from Dad though I was planning to go back home this week.I called Mum and tried to explain what had happened to him but Mum told me he already told Father she would be coming back from her trip today.I could only hope she would be back now because it's already been an hour.I called Mum's number and put the phone on speaker."Hello Mum," I said to the phone."You should have begged him when he told you to. Why didn't you stall it back then." Mum's angry voice boomed through the speaker and I have a feeling that this is bad news.She doesn't have to spell it out for me to know that father didn't change his mind."I talk to him but you know his words are always the final say. He told me you have to keep being a good girl while he will watch you for the next five months." Mother said, her voice laced with frustration."This is why I told you not to steal too much from
EMILY'S POVOn getting home, Xavier's school bus came just in time. The guards opened the door while I took Xavier with me inside. He sat on the couch silently watching a cartoon on the iPad in his hand.I took out my clothes and dipped myself inside the bathtub, washing myself."I don't want to see you getting hurt because of what happened. Please make sure you are happy even if you are planning out your revenge on Emily" I recalled Chelsea's words which brought a smile to my face.But why do I still feel empty, as if I haven't done anything? Because after what Aysel did, she is still living fine.However, it's not how it was in the past because she could no longer live the lavish lifestyle.My phone rang and talked of the devil, it was actually Aysel calling. Now, let's hear what the bitch has to say. I picked up the call and put it on speaker while I continued to wash myself."Hello," Aysel said, her voice breaking through the speaker. "So you think I wouldn't know you are trying
EMILY'S POV"No. I don't think I can let you go that quick," Liam said and walked towards me.I wanted to take a step back but then it was too late to even leave when he was looking at me like that. "Don't touch me," I said and he stopped."Now I'm hurt," Liam said in a dramatic tone and all I could do was smile."I will get going then," I said ready to leave."I got you this." He said and gave me a Lily flower. I wanted to laugh at him at first but then I realized Liam knew what he was doing.I had to hate the rose bouquet after what the stalker did by sending a rose bouquet every time. This is part of the reason I hated it because it has been filled up with a bad memory of this stalker."I don't want to take it from you," I said and tried not to stare at him too much.Black fits him perfectly compared to any other colour."Oh, you don't like Lily right?" Liam said with no offence."I got you this too" Liam replied and opened the car only to bring out a peony bouquet.When he saw th
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
