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,"
LIAM'S POVWhen I walked back to my room. I took off my suit and took a quick shower. Thinking about what happened today, a bitter smile graced my lips as I hit the glass wall with my fist.Emotions lately have been disturbed and it seems in one way or another, Emily is getting into my skin. As if my subconscious wouldn't agree with me, I was already hard again. At this rate, I knew masturbating wouldn't work. I left the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body. I put a call through to Rylan, and he picked it up on the second ring.“Buddy, I am on it. It's not even up to 20 minutes yet," Rylan said, his voice etched with anger, but he managed to hide it.“I need a girl. I will be coming to the club," I said, raking my hand through my hair.“Then come," Rylan said and quickly dropped the call.I pulled out a black shirt and wore it. I wore long pants and made my way to the mirror. Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I brushed my hair and put on the wristwatch around my wrist.
Emily's POVAfter taking my bath in the morning, I wore a simple dress and wrote two chapters for my comic book. I believed Liam would have already left for work and I would be the only one at home.Vincent messaged me this morning and we agreed to meet later in the afternoon. Left with no other thing, I decided to cook in the kitchen.“Ma'am, what do you help you with?" Annie asked as she stood beside me. “You don't have to bother yourself. I want to cook for the house today," I said, and Annie smiled at me.“We will leave you to it, ma'am, but if you need our help, don't hesitate to call us," Annie said and left the kitchen.I think this is the first time I will be cooking in the mansion. Even in my past life, I wasn't allowed to cook. I boiled the rice and placed another pot on the stove.After adding the necessary ingredients, I will need to cook the soup. I left the kitchen when I heard my phone ringing. It was Chelsea calling me. I picked up the call and pressed it to my ear.
”All you have to do is pick Emily," Liam added, and I wish I could right now.I already made a deal to eat it, which is why I should have eaten this food before Liam even tried to feed me. That explains the smile I saw on his face.“I will eat it, Liam. I will." I said, breathing through my lips.His gaze didn't leave my face as he pulled me closer and I nearly gasped when I felt his hardness. Just like that? He is already hard again?”You are not sucking my dick." Liam asked as if his dick was just a lollipop I have to suck because of his sweetness.We made love in the past, but sucking is what I never do because we make love with the aim to get me pregnant. No feelings attached but I was actually in love with him then.”I will be sick to do that, Mr. Nolan, sir." I said to piss him off, but the complete opposite happened.“I can make you sick then," Liam said and I strained my ears just in case I didn't hear him well.“Is there a way we can get cold water?" Liam asked, facing the m
Thierry drove the car to the assigned place where I would be seeing Vincent. It was a huge restaurant in the city of Los Angeles. Wealthy people and celebrities were the ones who normally frequented this place.Theirry pulled the car door open for me to step out. I looked at the way the sun's rays cast their soft glow on the city. “You should wait for me inside the car. I will be back soon" I said to Thierry before leaving his side.I doubted Thierry won't tell Liam about my movement today, which was part of the reason I decided to take Theirry with me to avoid suspicion.If there is anything I detest, it is seeing the way the public will pull up different articles about how I was promiscuous by having feelings for another man when Liam was my husband.Making my way inside the restaurant, Vincent already raised his hand for me to see where he was.He was standing beside the far back corner close to the wall and to my astonishment, no one was inside the restaurant except Vincent.This
“Is there a reason why you didn't take wine? I thought you love it, and it's the best combo for steak," Vincent said.“Oh. Does it seem like I love it? I don't remember telling you that in the past, but I just wanted to go with Juice," I replied.I know It would be weird for me to tell Liam that I don't want to go for wine because I am pregnant.”I barely remember you telling me that in the past." Vincent got interrupted when the waitress came back with the tray of food. The steak was served to us while the waitress went back. I took the napkin and took the fork and knife, wiping it.“Why did you even rent all this place when we are just going to eat, Vincent? Also, won't your boyfriend question your actions?" I asked Vincent with the fork still in my hand.“I thought I told you I am single right now," Vincent said while I cut the steak and ate part of it.“Which is why I am surprised. I mean, you are fucking handsome, and I remember you being a Playboy back in high school." I said w
My face flushed red when I heard the way Aysel insulted me. The truth is, if I had known Aysel was the one at the door, I would have stopped Vincent from letting her in.I clenched my fist, trying to come up with the right words to use. Aysel's shoes clicked softly on the floor as she closed the distance.“To think you are here with a man who is not your husband. You are a whore, and no one can dispute that," Aysel snapped as she looked at me with a disdainful look.Vincent wanted to part his lips. He was looking at me with confusion in his eyes but I didn't want him to interfere.“I don't know what you are talking about. Did you see me in a hotel Aysel?" I asked Aysel, my voice shaky.“Oh, is it until I snap everything and snap it to him" Aysel threatened and brought out her phone.The guy beside her only looked at her like a fool. I guess he must be one of her chicks.I thought Aysel was joking, but immediately, I saw a flashlight shine towards my face. Aysel was snapping a picture
Vincent and I get down from the Park. It was the amusement park we visited in the past during my time at the orphanage home. I still can't believe we have known each other since then, and yet he still remembered, I mean, like visiting the amusement park.I looked at Vincent in his crisp white shirt and black pants. His bright smile made my heart skip a beat and I couldn't help but smile."Hey, Emily! You look stunning," Vincent said, handing me a bouquet. I think he already got it before we went into the restaurant, and he must have kept it inside the car since."Thanks, Vincent," I said, collecting it with a bright smile.“It is like an apology because of what happened a while ago. I ruined your evening." Vincent teased, and I glared at him because he was not at fault here at all.“Accepted but you are not at fault" I said and he smiled.We headed to the waterfront, where a beautiful sunset awaited us. The sky transformed into hues of pink, orange, and purple as we strolled without
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
