Vincent bit his lower lip as he released his hand from my waist. My lips were still parted, forming an O because I never expected to see Vincent in Los Angeles.

“You are still as clumsy as back then, Emily," Vincent muttered while he nervously rubbed the back of his neck.

“Vincent?" I muttered again with uncertainty and a smile spread across his lips.

He is still as handsome as ever but a lot of things have changed about Vincent. He is no longer the small boy who walks around with a wet nose. The suit he wore hugged his frame perfectly.

It gave the impression that he was working in a big company. I just kept staring at him while he smiled before ruffling my hair like the good old days.

“You are now a big woman Emily. How are you doing?" Vincent asked, smiling, and I laughed out loud because it was funny.

“Did you expect me to tell you, oh V, I miss you because you didn't even ask of me," I Said mimicking a dry tone and Vincent.

My heart warmed in my chest seeing my childhood friend in

  • Divorced My Husband, Now He Is On His Knees   Chapter 37

    “Who is that man that escorted you out, Emily?" Liam asked for the third time with his forehead forming deep creases.So he has been watching us since I came outside with Vincent. My heart palpitated in my chest but I steeled myself.It's just a harmless question but a part of me proves to be stubborn. I couldn't tell him there was nothing between us, so I replied in the best way I could.“It's none of your business," I said, dropping the bag in my hand beside me and inhaling deeply.Maybe it would have ended if I told him Vincent was my childhood best friend but I was curious and I wanted to know where this conversation would lead.“Is he one of the men you promise to have a night with? Is that why you refused to answer my question?" Liam asked with the tone of his voice raised.My shoulder slumped when I realized Liam would never believe anything I said. Maybe that will make things even between us. Despite trying to keep a composed expression, his enraged voice shattered my existence

    It was already 7 AM when I woke up. After taking my bath and brushing my teeth, I changed into my nightdress since the gala will be in the evening.The knock at the door startled me because I suddenly jumped in fright. “I'm coming," I said as I made my way to the door. I held the door handle and pulled the door open after taking a deep breath to calm my nerves but to my utmost surprise, Liam is the one at the door.It wasn't Annie, Bentley or Thierry but the Devil himself. What is he looking for this early morning?I actually thought he was going to sneak into my room last night but after the small fight, Liam seems to have gone back to how things were.Maybe he finally realized we don't have a future together.“You should pack a few clothes because..." Liam hesitated as his eyes raked through my body.I turned rigid when I saw the way he was looking at me and my eyes seemed to dart between him and my chest. Alas, I was right.It doesn't feel right, considering the fact that Liam is

    The sun cast its warm glow on the city of Los Angeles but it was only 11 a.m. Annie brought out the suitcase containing my dress outside while I walked to her front.Today, I am wearing a cream-colored dress that was among the clothes Liam got for me.I matched the dress with a pair of black high heels while a small purse was clutched to my hand.Though I was expecting Liam to be in the car already waiting for me, there was no sign of him except Thierry.“Where is Liam?" I asked, my eyes darting around the surroundings while Annie stood beside me with the suitcase by her side.Thierry walked to my side when he heard my question. He bowed his head deeply and raised it.“He told me he will be back soon, ma'am," Theirry replied.“Then get the car ready." I order him in a warm tone. The sun is scorching today and I don't think I can wait longer under it to get my skin burned.“The boss isn't taking the car, ma'am," Theirry responded with his hand crossed at his back while he made a slight

    LIAM'S POVEmily's eyes looked lifeless before when I found her in that state but after regaining her composure, she suddenly went back to the kind of person she was which was why I preferred Emily to her sister.“How did you know what happened to me? Don't tell me you did a background check on me and brought me here knowing that." Emily ranted on and stopped. She wanted to say more but she hesitated, probably because she wanted to know if I brought her to the helicopter to mock her.“You told me yourself, can't you remember? On our wedding night," I replied and her eyes widened in shock.She doesn't believe me and I couldn't blame her. I didn't believe myself either because how could I remember what Emily told me years ago?“You are lying? I would never tell you that. It's not possible." Emily insisted, maintaining eye contact.“Oh, did you even know what you act like when you are drunk, Emily?" I asked her and a blush crept to her cheeks.They were so fucking beautiful, and I wanted

    EMILY'S POVAfter several hours of being in the helicopter, Thierry announced that he was already at the destination. Slowly the helicopter made its way down and stopped.Thierry got down first and pushed the door open to one side. Liam got down next, and I followed him out. “Get the luggage in," Liam ordered and Theirry did just that.My eyes took in the surroundings. We are now in New York, and I was right when I said Liam has a place to sleep here. The sun is not scorching again. Which made me realize it was already late in the evening.“This is my villa," Liam told me with his hand tucked inside his pocket.“Are we not going to go in?" I asked Liam in a weak tone. We traveled for more than 5 hours, and I was already exhausted. The sun is even about to disappear completely.“It's already time for the gala. However, you can freshen up." Liam said and I yawned, exhausted.We both walked inside the villa while Thierry left after taking our luggage in. The wall is made with glass whil

    EMILY'S POV “Your wife?" She stuttered as if she was finding it hard to believe.Her eyes doubled as she looked between me and Liam, trying to check if Liam was joking.“Yes," Liam replied in the same tone while it was his turn to look between them. Could it be that they have been in a past relationship? Because Liam even knows Jane's father.“When did you get married? You didn't even let me know?" The girl asked and she looked as if she was going to cry.Liam just smiled without saying a thing.“Nice meeting you, Emily," Jane said and I shook hands with her.“You too, Jane," I said before releasing her hand.“I think we are still going to hang around then before you leave?" She asked Liam and I scoffed internally.Hang out for what? Why would I even hang out with a married man? “Well, we are going tomorrow. You can hang out with him next time he comes." I said in my head but Liam's reply left me shocked.“Sure Jane. We will be leaving two days from now. I should visit your father,"

    I stood in front of Vincent on the dance floor while more people were already gathering around us. I took in a deep breath as I raised my hand to place it on Vincent's shoulder while my other hand grabbed his palm.Vincent secured his hand around my back and pulled me closer to himself a bit. He was tall, but I can't but compare him to Liam, who is of great build, though Vincent is not bad too.“I hope you can dance?" Vincent asked and I chuckled. “You will be surprised I can", I replied before giving him a go-ahead.We begin to move to the music. Familiarizing ourselves with the rhythm and matching up our steps, neither of us were talking, but Vincent beat me to it.“How has everything been?" Vincent asked as we began to move while he spurned me only to roll back to his front.“I'm fine", I replied as we moved in sync again.“I didn't know you got married", Vincent asked, and I wish he didn't, but he was my best friend when we were kids at the orphanage home before Laura adopted me.

    “You told me the gala was important to you. Why did you suddenly leave abruptly." I said trying to get Liam's attention but he wasn't even looking at me I decided to seal my lips because I could see that he wasn't in the mood for banters.The drive wasn't long and we pulled over at the Villa Liam was talking about. I unlocked the door and stepped out of the car alongside Liam.Liam faced Thierry with a blank expression, saying, “I want you to stay at the gate, and you must not leave the gate." Liam ordered, and Thierry obeyed him, walking away.Liam walked towards me with his long strides and tried to grab my arm, which I effortlessly pulled away from him.“What are you doing?" I asked, but maybe I should have followed Liam willingly.Maybe I should have let him say whatever it was that was bothering him without responding but it was too late Liam lifted me by my waist and carried me on his shoulder.“Shit!" I cursed in shock.“Drop me now!" I yelled, slapping his back, but he didn'

    It was already three minutes past 4 in the evening when I left my office room and walked towards the elevator. Liam left before me and he didn't bother to strike up any conversation with Mr after the heated argument we had in his office room concerning Vincent.I had to admit that he has been acting weird, which is not something I am oblivious to. It's all written on his face compared to in the past when he was good at masking his emotions but things are different now.“Ms Emily, will you be coming to the party? I heard it was thrown because of you" One of the workers working in the management department said, walking towards.She is a lady in her late twenties with a good petite figure. Something any man would be crazy for because of the way she carried herself with her stunning walking steps.However, I cleared my throat when I realized she just asked me a question and which party she was talking about. Or is anyone having a birthday party which I wasn't aware of?“Is there a party

    Call me a Lunatic because the truth is I want to give Liam a slap for calling me a cheating woman when he knows nothing. The fact that he believed whatever lies Aysel told him is still outrageous, considering the fact that I was with him all through and the rare times Vincent appeared varies.“You have know right to say that to me when you are the one having an affair Liam. I only came here as your secretary out of your own will." I said, breathing through my lips as I tried to calm my nerves.”You signed the contract Emily." Liam interjected, acting as if I plead to him to take me back.If only he knew things won't be the same after the 5 month contract expired.“Because you are threaten me with someone else company Liam. You wanted to ruin what Mr Smith has used his life savings to build. You want to ruin it in span of 24 hours" I spat back with venom in my tone.I tried to adjust my expression, taking in a deep breath while Liam only looked at me as I just said something bad. He t

    Vincent's eyes followed my direction. I cussed Liam in my mind before returning my gaze to Vincent. Perhaps, it's time to pay back. After all, Vincent will be coming to pick me up in the evening. I can as well act as if I was into him just to spite Liam.“I will be waiting till you get back to pick me up. I am going to miss you, Vincent," I said, and before he could reply to me, I closed the distance between us and kissed his cheek.Vincent's eyes glinted with mischievousness but I smiled to ease the tension.“Take care of your sweet," Vincent said before walking back towards his car, but suddenly, he stopped and walked back to me. My eyebrows raised in question, and at the same time, I felt a cold sweat break on my back. He knew he was looking at our way because he had refused to walk in since the car was parked. As if he wants to see the scene unfold right in front of him.Vincent's hand rested on my shoulder and I tense. “I wanted to adjust the polo." He gave one simple excuse, wh

    The sun already rose from the East when I got ready to get to work. I picked up my bag and car key after bidding Xavier goodbye when he got inside the school bus.Turning the doorknob, my eyes widened like a saucer as if I had just seen a ghost, but it wasn't a ghost; actually, Vincent stood in front of my doorstep holding a bouquet in his hand. I smiled like a baby when he flashed me his brightest smile.“Good morning, Ugly duckling," Vincent said with amusement, and I couldn't hold back my smile.“This is a token of my heart to you," Vincent said, and I took the bouquet from his hand. Thank you, Vincent, I said, smiling while looking at the bouquet.“I actually came at the right time. 8 will drive you," Vincent said aloud, and I raised my eyebrows at him in question.“What?" I asked, raising my hands in the air in a dramatic way. The corner of Vincent's eyes twitched, looking at me. “That's ridiculous and I won't allow you to do that," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm.“Says

    I sat at the table, my mind racing with thoughts of frustration and annoyance. Why had I signed that contract in the first place? I blamed myself for being so stupid, for not thinking things through.I couldn't take it anymore. I picked up my bag and stood up, my eyes locked on Liam's face. "I'm out of here," I said, my voice firm.Liam looked up at me, a hint of surprise in his eyes. But he didn't say anything, just watched as I walked away.What did I even expect the devil man to say?I stormed out of the restaurant, feeling a sense of relief wash over me as I stepped out into the cool air. I hailed a taxi and got in because I didn't bring my car along. It was all because of Vincent after all.The driver asked me for directions which I told her before the car drove off. I glanced through the open window, enjoying the view but that was all a lie. Liam didn't come after. Maybe he finally realized I was not going to listen to him. But my freedom was short-lived when my phone suddenly

    I sat at the table, watching as Liam expression didn't change one bit after what Mr. Smith said. Liam leaned back into his chair, a look of interest on his face. "Of course, Mr. Smith. What can I do for you?"Mr. Smith took a deep breath before launching into his explanation. "My business is doing well now," he said, a hint of pride in his voice. "But I've been thinking a lot about my personal life, and I've decided that I want to leave my position and sell the company." Mr. Smith repeated as if it was a sentence he has memorized over and over again.I part my lips to say something. I wanted to ask him why he suddenly decided to quit after putting me in this messHowever, whatever I was planning to say got caught in my throat the moment Liam's hand shot out, his fingers wrapping around my wrist in a tight grip."Don't," he said aloud, his eyes warning me to stay silent.My eyes widened when he realized the meaning of what he just said. I was becoming frustrated because of his warning

    It was the voice etched somewhere in my brain.He is the man I believed to be my Dad, but he momentarily called me a bastard child several times, and I couldn't do a thing.”You aren't saying anything. Still acting like that little five-year-old girl. You are still beautiful," He added, and I suddenly regained my senses.I remember when he took me to the brothel, telling them to brand me with a tattoo to turn me into a prostitute, but I survived the cruel fate when the police invaded the place, which was how I was taken to the orphanage home before Laura adopted me. Should I call myself an unfilial daughter for forgetting all these memories? It was my past I didn't want to remember, yet it still haunted me.“What secret are you talking about?" I asked, trying to maintain my composure. I am no longer the five-year-old girl he was able to take to a brothel but a mother who was ready to do what it takes to survive. Although there are still some memories missing, I am sure I will rememb

    Blood almost drained from my face when I heard Laura's words. It might have sounded sincere to almost everyone seated at the table right now if they heard her but I know this was an insult to me.She was right. What am I doing with my ex-husband in a restaurant at the same table? Liam ordered what he wanted to eat, leaving both me and Laura alone. He didn't even try to clear the misunderstanding. Instead, he took out his phone and began to scroll. Acting as if he didn't hear whatever Laura said.“I came here because I am Liam's sec..." ”We have things to discuss, mother. Is there anything wrong with that?" Liam asked, cutting me off before I could complete my statement.That son of a bitch. I thought he was going to act dumb in the first place.”Oh..." Laura said, faking a laugh but Liam saw through her. “Emily, I mean, this is not making sense Liam. Didn't you both divorce?" Laura asked and this time, I was the one who replied."It is a personal reason, Mother, and I do not feel li

    Liam took a step closer towards me but instead of walking back, I stood my stand with my chin held high. “What makes you think I wouldn't dare if you didn't comperate Emily?" Liam asked; he bent his head to match my height.I swallowed hard at the proximity, my emotions almost getting the better of me, but I remained on my stand.“I came early like you said, so I think you should keep your promise," I said and Liam's expression changed. It was filled with amusement.“When did I Make that fucking promise to you Emily?" Liam asked, his hand tucked his hand inside his pocket. It wasn't until he walked back that he was able to breathe well.Of course, I am in Liam's office, and it's normal for the air I breathe to scream his presence.“We talked about this on the phone," I said, and Liam chuckled slightly before walking back to sit in his seat.My eyes threw daggers at him as I tried to maintain my composure but it was so hard for me to do that when he was this annoying."Emily," Liam ca
