Liam wanted to reach out to her, to hold her and tell her that he cared, but he knew it was too late. He had already broken her trust.“I am so sorry that I led you on," Elena said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I promise it would never happen again. I’ll stick to the business of the contract and in six months, we will go our separate ways.”Liam watched as Elena left and headed to the room, still sobbing and sniffing.Liam sank back onto the couch, feeling the weight of his confusion and frustration settling in his mind. He couldn't understand why Elena's words affected him so deeply. As he massaged his temples, he tried to push away the thoughts that were spiraling out of control.After a while, he got up and made his way back to the bedroom. When he saw Elena, peaceful in her sleep, his heart softened. He knew he couldn't leave things the way they were.Feeling the need to clear his head, he headed to the bathroom and turned on the shower, letting the cold water wash over him.
Elena's bewildered eyes gawked at him curiously. "you didn't touch her?" she stuttered in weak amazement wanting to be sure and clear her thoughts. A dozen questions clamored for attention in her head, and she rested her chin on her hand like a detective trying to piece together a difficult puzzle.Liam half-smiled, feeling a sense of relief that Elena's anger had been linked to a false assumption. "No, I didn't touch her," he said, his voice calm and steady. Her watchful gaze and probing intensity almost made him chuckle. Whether frowning, angry, curious, or happy, Elena always managed to turn him on.Elena's eyes widened further, and Liam could see the disbelief etched on her face. He knew that he had a lot of explaining to do, but he was willing to do whatever it took to make things right."Elena, I know you have a lot of questions, and I'm willing to answer them all," he said, his voice gentle and reassuring.Elena nodded, her eyes still fixed on him. Liam took a deep breath, gath
Liam smiled at her and took her hand, bringing it to his lips for a gentle kiss. "I accept your apology," he said, his eyes meeting hers. "And I want you to know that I care about you too."Elena's heart fluttered at his words, but she bit her lip in frustration as she struggled to find the right words. "I just don't want you to be with anyone else," she finally blurted out, her brow furrowing in frustration.Liam's smirk grew wider, confirming his suspicions. "Is that what you wanted to say?" he asked teasingly.Elena rolled her eyes in mock annoyance, but couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, that's what I wanted to say," she said, shaking her head in disbelief at how difficult it had been to express her feelings.Liam's lips curled into a lopsided grin as he realized that Elena was just as jealous and possessive as he was. They were a perfect match. "Alright angel," he said, teasing her.Elena laughed, feeling happy and relieved now that they had cleared the air between them. "Thanks," sh
The beautiful tent was set up in the middle of the beach, with open white curtains made of shells that gave the place a pure and distinctive touch. Inside, a table for two was set with yellow floral arrangements that stood out against the golden shades of the uplighting and table lighting. As the sun set, the white decorations glimmered with a golden hue, adding to the magical scene.Above the open tent, the starry sky twinkled with a breathtaking view. The ambiance was serene, and the soft romantic music playing in the background made it even more enchanting.Towards the edge of the table, two exquisite candle stands glimmered with flickering lights, casting a warm glow on the beautiful setting. An expensive bottle of red wine was set alongside two wine glasses, ready for sipping. The delectable meal was set appealingly on the table, with elegant tableware adding to the luxurious feel of the evening.Elena couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of the scene before her, feeling gratef
As they lay there, wrapped in each other's arms, Liam felt a sense of connection that he had never felt before. The gentle rhythm of their breathing and the warmth of their bodies intertwined filled him with a sense of peace and contentment.Elena's confession left Liam in a state of shock. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He sat her up delicately to face him, his eyes searching for any signs of hesitation or doubt.“You want me to make love to you?” he asked, his voice low and husky with desire.“Yes,” Elena replied, moving closer to him. She tenderly touched his beautifully sculpted chin and allowed her hands to trail toward his ear lobe. Liam's body twitched with excitement and expectation as she fondly stroked and massaged his ear lobes. Her eyes glimmered under the red starry light and penetrated Liam's hungry eyes.“This time, I promise I won't stop you or push you away. I can't hold myself much longer anymore,” her voice trembled slightly. “I want you. Right…now..but...
A few days prior to his departure for the island, Liam had a conversation with Steven, their trusted driver, to ensure that he would be at the airport promptly at 3:00 PM on the day of Liam's return, as the flight was scheduled to take ten hours.As the day approached, Steven made sure to double-check his schedule and arrive at the airport with ample time to spare. He patiently waited at the arrivals gate, keeping a keen eye out for Liam and Elena's familiar faces amidst the throngs of travelers pouring out of the customs area.Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Liam and Elena emerged from the crowd, exhausted but overjoyed to see Steven waiting for them with a warm smile and a helping hand to carry their luggage.

As the first light of dawn peeked through the window, Liam stirred from his slumber, his eyes lingering on Elena's peaceful sleeping form. He didn't want to disturb her, but a notification on his phone beckoned him from the cabinet beside the bed. He reached out and retrieved the device, checking the message from his secretary, which contained his schedule for the day.With a soft sigh, Liam carefully shifted Elena's body, admiring her beauty as she slept, before slipping out of bed. He gazed at her with a fond smile, grateful for the time they had spent together. As he stood up, he stretched his arms and took a deep breath, feeling energized and ready to tackle the day ahead.Liam quietly made his way toward the bathroom, trying not to make any noise that would disturb Elena's peaceful sleep. He took a quick shower and got dressed, all the while thinking of Elena and how lucky he was to have her in his life.As Liam was getting dressed, Elena stirred from her sleep and asked him wher
