Liam Kings

“ Nothing Lucy, send her in.” He says as he adjusts himself in his chair.

A few seconds pass and a slight knock is heard before the door knob turns, indicating that someone was entering.

Emilia Peyton comes into view and it takes Liam sometime to realize that she was the one. The last time they met she wore a casual clothing which made her look like a normal person.

‘An extremely beautiful normal person’ he thought.

If he thought she looked like a goddess the last time he saw her, then there wasn’t yet a word to describe her right now.

She was beautiful.

“ I see you are already back from Switzerland Mr Kings.” She says as she walks into the office. Her hips swaying without effort.

‘ God damn this woman. '

“ I could say the same to you Emilia. Please, call me Liam. ‘ Mr Kings ‘makes it look like you’re referring to my father.” He says standing.

She gives a small smile that doesn’t go unnoticed by Liam as she looks around his office.

    Emilia PeytonThe meeting with Liam was a bad idea. She admitted it. Not only was she not able to change his mind, he somehow made her speechless.Growing up, Emilia never had a boyfriend or even hung out with boys, hell she didn’t even hang out with girls although she was loved by people because of her looks. It was part of the reasons she had no friends presently. Since her parents died when she still very young, an early age of 7, she could only focus on trying to survive without being trampled upon. So yes, she had never been touched by a man, or woman. She didn’t know what it felt like to be held by a man, well not until earlier today. She was barely managing to not loose her sanity in front of Liam Kings. Inside, she was a complete mess. Emilia started craving for things that she never gave so much thought to. When he came close to her she could swear that her breathe seizedAnd his hands on her waist. Good lord! He knew how to work his hands, she gave him that. “ Oh Go

    Emilia PeytonEmilia was glad she made the decision to not check out of the hotel because it looked like she was going to be spending a few days there. She had already packed all her belongings from the house and sent them to one of the many apartments she owned. She hadn’t bothered to furnish them before, she didn’t see the need because no one was living in them. She would move into the house but it was still empty. She would have to put it in order before she could settle in and that would take a few days. So for now, the hotel was going to be her home.She was tired and hungry. She had forgotten to eat with all the trouble going on. She was staying at the royal pavilion hotel, a well known hotel. It was owned by her father’s friend, Mr Daniel McKay. The only person she trusted in this cruel world she was forced to live in.

She wasn’t even sure if he knew how to locate the house as she had never seen him there before but then, he was Liam Kings and according to him, he had his ways.She considered calling him but after looking at the time on her phone, she realized that it was already too late and she didn’t want to disturb him or give him something to tease her with.

She had called him first thing in the morning. She didn’t want him going to the wrong house. He didn’t sound like he was just waking up from sleep unlike her. His voice was low but steady. But then, like he said, she was jobless.“ I didn’t call to cancel. I gave you my word and I don’t intend to break it.” She replied.“ If you say so. Why did you cal

    Emilia PeytonHer neck snaps towards him so fast she was sure it would cause an ache later. “ Two weeks? Are you being serious right now?” She says trying to maintain her calm. “ I am.

    Emilia Peyton“ How is that possible dear. Liam did not go to Milan two years ago.” Lucia says and the entire room falls silent. Uh oh! I look at Liam, my eyes begging for help. “ Yes I did mum, you seem to have forgotten.” Liam finally says and I nod in response. “ Did you? Oh my dear, I’m so sorry. I’m becoming too forgetful these days.” Lucia says with a sad smile and her husband, Richard gives her a pat on the back. “ It’s alright, it can happen to anyone. I happen to remember because it was the day I met Liam.” I say smiling. Good gracious. Lying to someone as sweet as Lucia was hard. “ A day that changed both our lives.” Liam says looking directly at me. He was such a good actor. I feel my heart beat quicken. It felt almost real. If I didn’t know better, I would’ve thought he was being sincere. “ Would you look at that Richard. Liam finally found love, it feels unreal. Thank you so much Emilia, for coming into my son’s life.” Lucia says as she reaches out to hold my han

    Emilia Peyton“ Emilia speaking. Who is this.” I said to whoever was on the other side of the call.It was barely 7 in the morning, who could be calling at this hour. I haven’t even gotten enough sleep.“ I knew it. You already forgot.” A female voice shouts over the phone. A voice that sounded too familiar.“ Hailey?” I askedWhy was she calling this early. I don’t remember giving my number to her either. Right. She’s Liam’s sister.“ Yhep. It’s Hailey alright. What are you still doing in bed. We’re going to be late.” She replied.“ Late for what?” I was still in bed, clearly not ready to wake up. What was I late for?“ Are you really asking me that. We’re supposed to go shopping for your wedding dress!!” She replied.Oh crap. She was right. I was so tired after almost fighting with Liam, I forgot all about my plans with Hailey.I was really glad she wasn’t talking formally with me. It felt really nice.“ Oh my Goodness Hailey. I’m so sorry. I totally forgot. How much time do I ha

    Emilia Peyton One Week LaterPreparations for the wedding was at its peak. Reporters were at the kings mansion daily hoping to get a picture or interview from Liam and I. I still don’t know what made them think that I was staying at his house. Uncle Aaron’s house was probably flooded with reporters too. Since no one knew that I moved out of Uncle’s house, I was safe. Oh right! Liam and I gave the official announcement of the wedding at an interview three days ago and the internet has been blowing up since then. People were shocked because I and Liam were never photographed together. Most of them had their suspicions, saying it was an arranged marriage between two influential families for more power. According to Liam’s statement at the second interview, we were in love with each other and dated secretly because we didn’t want the media meddling in our affairs. Some people believed him while others didn’t. Talking about Liam, I haven’t seen him much since the family dinner with his

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’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

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.

    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
