What do you think about Vincent??
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'
“So wet" Liam murmured as he raised his hand. It was glistening with my wetness.He returned his gaze to my red face, his cherry lips curling into a grin as he caught me biting on my bottom lip, knowing fully well that what he was doing to me ignited a burning sensation I desperately wanted to extinguish, but I just couldn't put it off! I felt awful, knowing my body always went against my mind, submitting myself to him all the fucking time cause I craved more of his touch. I needed his fucking long fingers in me again, in my wet strawberry pot, to fill me up as he fucked my cunt, but I couldn't let him.I shouldn't. Liam does not deserve me! I can't let his flimsy seduction get into my head!! "This here is evidence that you want me, Emily." He said, his eyes glowing lustfully as he raised his wet fingers and returned his gaze to mine, his voice hypnotic, "Don't lie to yourself, Emily. I know you want me so just let me in."I swallowed hard as he slowly deep his wet finger into his m
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
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
