Emilia Peyton“ I now declare you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”She had totally forgotten that they would have to share a kiss today.Oh God!!!Looking at him through the veil, she could feel his eyes on hers. He was staring directly into her eyes with a look that she couldn’t point out.He takes a step forward to lift the veil off her face and her heart beat quickens. The veil was the only thing protecting her from his piercing gaze . She knew he could still see her even with the veil in front of her. The veil was transparent but it felt like a sort of shield to her.He lifts the veil off and stares at her, his eyes scanning every feature on her face before it stops at her lips. His eyes come back to look directly at her eyes before he crashes his lips on hers without warning.Shivers run through every part of her body. The feel of his lips against hers was magical. Better than whatever she had imagined. She had never kissed anyone before so she had no idea what to do an
Emilia Peyton“ Come on wife, we shouldn’t keep them waiting.” Liam said referring to the guests who were already waiting inside.He leaves the car first before extending his hands to her. Together, they made their way through the crowd of reporters who wanted to get a word from them, alongside pictures. Camera flashes could be seen from every angle. It was as though they were at an award ceremony and not a wedding.The reception hall was decorated to perfection. It had the setting of a royal wedding. With large chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, classical musicians, fancy chairs and tables, local and international cuisines and many others.Hailey really outdid herself. The whole setting was beautiful. As soon as they entered the hall, everyone’s attention was immediately directed towards them, all smiling and cheering as they made their way to their table.After a various activities had been done, it was now time for the newly Weds to take the dance floor.While other activities
Liam KingsWhen Liam made the decision to get married for his mother’s sake, he meant every word but watching Emilia walk down the aisle with her uncle by her side made him wonder if he was doing this for his mother alone. A part of him knew that he was also doing this for himself as he wouldn’t want Emilia to be with someone that wasn’t him. He knew from the moment he kissed her. He felt something for her and there was no denying it but was he going to let her know that? Absolutely not.The wedding was a huge success and his mother loved Emilia. Both his mother and the other guests had no doubt that it was a real wedding, not an arranged one.. He had planned it thoroughly and not many people spend so much for an arranged marriage. It was usually just a small gathering with members of the family but he needed this to look real, for his mother’s sake so he made it the biggest wedding of the year.Throughout the wedding, Liam couldn’t tak
Emilia Peyton “ It’s our room dear wife.” He said as he shut the door to the bathroom leaving Emilia baffled. How were they supposed to share a room together. They were pretty much strangers. Married, yes… but still strangers. Realizing that she was still in a towel, Emilia dashed into the walk-in closet to take out her nighties. She didn’t want to be underdressed while sharing a room with Liam. After a few minutes, Liam came out of the bathroom. His hair still dripping and a towel around his waist. “ Why do we have to share a room?” She asked impatiently as he walked into the closet ignoring her question. Emilia sat on the bed waiting for him to give her an answer. She couldn’t share a room with him not to even think of sharing a bed. “ I know you can hear me. I said why do we have to share a room. This house has like what twenty rooms? Why can’t I just stay in one of them?” She asked walking towards the closet so that he could hear her. She knew he could hear her, he just wasn
Chapter 20Third Person POV“ I want it back.” She tells him, her face rigid as a stone.Liam’s brows lift, a show of surprise. He knew she would ask for it eventually, he just didn’t expect it to be a day after their wedding.She really was something else.Emilia on the other hand was dead serious. She knew that she couldn’t afford to waste much time with her plans. Whoever murdered her parents was out there living like a free man while she was suffering everyday with the memories of their death. She needed to act fast and getting the ownership from Liam was her first step. When she worked at Peyton Incorporation as a director, it wasn’t hers and she couldn’t make Aaron sign the company over to her. He knew nothing about the company but he knew how to read. He read every single document that was given to him to make sure Emilia didn’t make any move on the company. But with Liam, her husband as the legal owner, her chances of getting it back were higher.“ The company?” Liam
Emilia Peyton“ I want you to carry my child.” Emilia looked at Liam, with an unpleasant expression. Unsure of what she just heard, she asked.“ What?” Her brows creased as Liam repeated the same words he had said earlier making them more audible this time around.“ I want you to carry my Child Emilia.” He repeated unfazed moving closer to her once again.This was something he did a lot. Her body wasn’t a magnet for Christ’s sake.Emilia looked at him like he had grown two heads. How could he ask such a thing from her? She was still processing the fact that she was now a married woman, now he wanted a child? She watched silently as Liam looked at her, waiting for a reply. His eyes carrying seriousness, almost like he hoped she would agree to it. She certainly would not!“ No.” She stated flatly, trying to push him away but was failing woefully.What is his body made up of? Iron? Hmph“ No?” His eyes never leaving hers.“ No!” She repeated a little louder this time. Why was he acti
Chapter 22Emilia Peyton “ Where were you.” She asked after much hesitation. She knew they were not supposed to pry into each other’s lives seeing as this was a marriage of convenience but she was too curious to let it go. Liam’s brows lifted in shock, then his lips curled into a smirk.“ Curious much, yes Emilia?” He asked in a teasing tone.“ No, I just….You know what, forget I asked that. I need to talk to you.” Her face was red from embarrassment.How could she ask him that? Way to go Emilia.“ Oh how could I? My wife wants to know about my whereabouts so I have to tell her. I guess I should start by apologizing for leaving without telling you.” He was mocking her. The sacarsm in his tone said it all.Emilia couldn’t stand the embarrassment. She brought this on herself. She shook her head sideways, trying to get Liam to stop but he just wasn’t having it.“ Liam, No. I’m being serious damn it.” She said.“ Okay Okay, what is it you wanted to talk about. If it’s about you’re compa
Third Person POVLiam watched as Emilia closed her eyes, obviously sleeping. He marveled at how beautiful and peaceful she looked. He gently picked her up from the chair and took her to the mini bedroom so that she could sleep properly. He was sure she was going to have a strain by the time she woke up if he had left her in that position. It pained him to know that she was going through so much mental stress because of him but he had no choice. He had to keep her safe and to do that he needed to have her close to him and her leaving everyday to Peyton Incorporation, which was two hours away from their house every single day would be a great risk. One he couldn’t take. She was probably the strongest woman he had ever met but you can’t fight against what you know nothing about. He knew something she didn’t. The truth about her parents death. But that would be a story for later, right now, Liam was looking forward to spending a lovely honeymoon with his wife. He hoped that they could m
Emilia’s POVMy eyes fluttered open, the blinding sunlight from the window causing me to close them back. I try once again, slowly this time until my eyes adjust to the light. The curtains had been drawn already, which meant that Kate was here a few minutes ago. Liam laid peacefully beside me, snoring lightly his arm wrapped around my small waist as though he was scared I was going to run away.I stretch my hand to the bedside table, grabbing my phone as I checked the time. It read 8:45am and I put it back, surreptitiously slipping out of Liam’s hold. I quickly head to the bathroom and take a quick shower, getting ready for the day. By the time I return, Liam was already up but he seemed to be on a call, only it wasn’t his phone but mine.“I’ll let her know. It’s up to her to decide that.” He says hanging up, his face turning sour as he stared at the phone.“Hey.” I say, moving towards the dressing table to dry out my hair.“Good morning, my love.” He greets and I have to h
Emilia’s POV A few hours later, the door opens to reveal the doctor. A good looking middle aged man who looked tired. He takes his glasses off, handing his notepad to the nurse that followed behind. “Chris, how is she?” Mr Richard hurries over to him, the rest of us following behind. Seeing how they were on first name basis, it only meant that they were close acquaintances. “She is stable now. You brought her in just in time. One more minute and the story would have been different.” The doctor said with a sad smile. I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding, my entire body shaking from the relief. I take a quick glance at Liam to see that he had the same look on his face. “Thank you so much, Chris. Thank you.” Richard breathes out, giving the doctor a light tap on the shoulder. “Lucia is like a sister to me, Richard. Of course, I’ll always do my best to make sure she’s alright. You can go in to see her in a few minutes.” Doctor Chris says before leaving, a trail of nurses f
Emilia Peyton “Mum. She..” Liam tries to say but his words seem to be stuck in his throat. My own heart had started beating at an uneven pace. I was praying earnestly in my heart that nothing happened to Lucia. “Talk to me.” I say, my hands going over to his. He was panicking at the moment, it wasn’t a pleasant sight. “She collapsed, Emilia. Hailey took her to the hospital and the doctor said that she might not make it.” He said. It was like a weight was dropped in my heart as I felt it sink. My hands immediately went up to my mouth, shocked my the news I had just heard. No, not Lucia. “We should go.” I tell him, walking over to the closet to get a few clothes. “Liam!” I yell. He was so out of it and I could tell that it was because of the terrible news about his mother but he needed to get it together. “I’ll be out in a few minutes. Get your things ready. We’re leaving.” I tell him as head for the bathroom to take a quick shower. We needed to be back at Liam’s house before th
Emilia Peyton. “I love you.” His voice came out in a whisper but I heard it, thankfully. I could feel my heart beating really fast, but why? I already knew that he loved me but hearing him say it felt completely different. “I love you, so much, Emilia. I cannot say when exactly I began to feel this way but I know that my heart belongs to you. We got married because of a contract but this is me telling you to be mine, not because of a contract but because of the love that we share.” Liam said, his eyes showing how genuine he was. As he spoke, I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes. Hearing him make this confession was the only thing I had wanted ever since I found out how I felt about him. Liam is in love with me! Not knowing what to say I move closer to him and place a quick kiss on his lips. “I love you too, Liam. And, I already belong to you.” I tell him with a wide grin on my face. He looks at me with a happy expression as though he just heard the best news ever. “Thank you

Emilia Peyton Emilia snuggled even closer to what felt like a hard pillow but comfortable nonetheless. It had a certain warmth to it which she loved. Her eyes flickered open and she was met with an unfamiliar surrounding. It wasn’t until she felt something beating like a heart that she realized that it wasn’t a pillow but LIAM. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets as she took in their present position. She was cuddled up against Liam, her head was on his chest and his legs were draped over hers while his hands were tightly around her. ‘ How did we end up in this position. ’She took the opportunity to examine his perfect face. He looked really peaceful when he slept, she had to admit. It was one trait she didn’t have. She always looked like she wrestled in her dream whenever she woke up. Maybe she was a normal twenty one year old after all. His lips were slightly parted, making him look sexy even while sleeping. She wanted to run her hands through his hair that was slightly
Emilia Peyton“ Let me show you the suite. Our best at the moment.” The manager said leading them.She felt Liam place his hands on her waist as they walked. She could feel her body heat up from the contact while Liam remained calm.“ What are you doing?” She whispered not wanting the manager to hear the argument that was about happening.“ Walking.” He answered with an eye roll.She could see that he was walking. It was very obvious.“ You’re holding me Liam. Why?” She asked returning the eye roll. “ You’re my wife Emilia, we’ve had this discussion before and whether you like it or not you are. We got married in front of the whole world and now we’re on our honeymoon. Do tell me, what married couple comes to a honeymoon acting like strangers... None so deal with it love.” He replied not giving her space to object. She opened her mouth to speak only to close it again after realising that once again, he was right.She already knew that they would have a lot of acting to do here i
