LIAM'S POVI clenched his jaw when I found out Maddox lured me here with no good reason and Rylan has been acting all weird.The two were busy looking at the strippers while I only tried to keep my mind focused on something else but I noticed Maddox and Rylan were hiding something, which eventually made me question them with an indifferent tone.“Tell me, Maddox," I began, which made Maddox tilt his head in my direction. ”Why did you call me here? And I know this is not about you having an important discussion to tell me. Did you finally fall in love with someone?" I asked Maddox, who shook his head. Maddox's hands were close to his thigh while his other hand rested on the couch. Maddox tried to control himself, knowing fully well I would catch him lying if he decided to lie now. “But you know love is not my thing. We noticed you are always getting hard these days dude. Tell me, when was the last time you had sex?" Maddox asked while he let the blonde girl sit on his lap “And you
EMILY'S POVLiam was calling me his wife again, and strangely, I suddenly liked the name.“Emily woke up. It's just the alcohol working" I chant in my head like a lullaby.Liam took three steps towards me, closing the gap between them as he cornered me to the wall.“What are you doing here looking all ravishing like a dessert," Liam asked and his breath fell on the shell of my lips.“Oh God," I thought as I gazed at him with my amber orbs. “How could you wear this type of dress after my warning, sweet?" Liam said with contempt in his voice. It felt as if he was trying hard to hold back himself but I wasn't getting myself either.“You don't own me, Liam. I can wear whatever I want and..." whatever I was going to say got swallowed back when Liam suddenly shook his head while his hand grazed my exposed thigh like an electric shock.“I didn't say you could wear this and let a man hold you like that; what do you want people to say about you?"A gasp escaped my lips when his hand suddenly
I ran to the VIP section to get my phone and small purse. There was no sign of Chelsea in where I left her but I want to believe she has probably left.Retrieving my purse on the table, I walked towards the entrance of the Clubhouse as far as my leg could take me. The loud music didn't stop blaring hard against my ears with every step I took. I want to believe, Liam wouldn't come after me. He can just spend the night here and pretend as if he didn't see me.I will also do the same. When I got outside the clubhouse, my head buzzed, almost spinning and I had to place my hand on the wall for support.Taking a deep breath in, I walked towards the roadside to take a taxi. The alcohol I mistakenly took had intoxicated me but I need to get home as soon as possible. I don't want to hurt my baby. However, it feels as if I already spent more than four hours inside the club and there was no sign of any taxi coming my way.Frustrated, I sucked the inside of my cheek before a car suddenly pulled
For a moment I thought Liam was kidding but this man was not fucking joking. Infact, Liam meant every word he said. His hand pulled the dress down from my collarbone and I jumped in fright, creating more space between us.”Are you fucking serious right now? I don't want you touching me" I yelled as tears streamed down my cheeks. I have vowed not to be weak in front of Liam or anyone again but then my emotions took the better of me as tears trickled down my cheeks. Maybe I expected Liam to suddenly back away, giving me the privacy I want but Liam didn't. The truth is I was scared and I was happy when I saw him but a part of me was annoyed to see Liam among his friends while strippr dancing among them. I was actually Infuriated but there was nothing I could do.Liam only walked towards me, closing the distance between us and I swallowed the lump at the back of my throat.Liam lifted me up the floor in a bridal style whileI kept on hitting his chest.“Let me go!"“Get your hands off
After dropping the call I had with Chelsea, I made my way outside after having my bath. I was already dressed up, waiting for Thierry to approach me when I noticed Theirry was not in sight.There was no sign of him standing outside with the guards, which made my brows furrow until I heard the echoing footsteps behind me.”Where is Thierry?" I asked Liam who was dressed in a gray suit with his raven black hair falling on his forehead.“I told you he would be sacked if he failed to drive you to wherever you go. It was a promise you made to me to be accountable for his actions," Liam explained in his deep voice as he closed the distance between us.My lips parted as air escaped my lungs because Liam was fucking right about what he said. I promised to let Thierry take me everywhere, but I broke that promise first.“If you want to punish anyone, then punish me. He did nothing wrong," I said; my voice was a little bit calm, but internally, I knew Liam wouldn't let this go just like that.Li
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
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
