Liam braced himself, knowing what was coming next."I think Isabella would be a perfect match for you. You two would make a great couple," his mom suggested.Liam's anger flared up instantly. "Mom, I am old enough to make my own decisions. I don't appreciate you meddling in my personal life," he retorted.His mom was taken aback by his outburst. "I'm sorry, Liam. I just want what's best for you. If you don't want to marry Isabella, then at least find a girl from a prestigious family," she said, her voice tinged with anger.Liam was about to respond when his mom abruptly ended the call. He sighed and shook his head, frustrated with the never-ending pressure to conform to his family's expectations.He slumped back onto his bed, feeling the weight of his mother's expectations still pressing down on him. He knew that he needed to make a decision about Elena soon, but he couldn't shake the feeling that his mother would try anything possible to get Isabella married to him " She won't" he si
As the car sped down the road, Isabella couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement coursing through her veins. She knew that all eyes would be on her when she arrived, and she was determined to make the most of it.The 15th anniversary celebration of Mici Tech was held at a luxurious five-star hotel, where the grand ballroom was adorned with symbols representing various software applications and mobile apps.

As she looked around the room, Isabella noticed the curious glances of some of the other guests, and she couldn't help but wonder what they might be thinking. She took a deep breath, trying to shake off the disappointment.Unbeknownst to Isabella, her cheeks flushed a deep shade of red, her makeup unable to conceal the embarrassment that washed over her. Sensing the uncomfortable gazes of onlookers, she awkwardly made her way to Gianna, who was seated nearby, and took refuge beside her friend.Mr. Taylor and Mr. Ford, seated at a table in the center of the hall with Gianna, were delighted by Isabella's presence. They greeted her warmly, showering her with compliments and helping her feel more at ease.As the evening progressed, a former high school classmate of Isabella's, who had since become a celebrity, approached her. They exchanged pleasantries, and he inquired if he could join her table. Eager for the company, Isabella welcomed him without hesitation.A subtle plan began to form
If Liam had gone for a different lady, someone she didn't know, Isabella knew that she wouldn't have felt this much anger. But the sight of Elena sitting so close to the man she had always wanted, smiling and laughing as he whispered into her ear, made Isabella's anger reach new heights.Mr. Ford and Mr. Taylor looked at each other in shock, unsure of what to say to their furious new boss."We did as we were told, yes! We fired her the same day you asked us to!" Mr. Ford stammered."Then how did she get an invite to this event, if she was really fired?" Isabella shot laser-like glares at Gianna and her bosses, her anger boiling over. She felt like slapping them with the glass of wine in her hand.Gianna tried to explain, "I don't know, Isabella.Isabella's grip tightened on the wine glass as she imagined hurling it at Elena and Liam, shattering the glass and sending shards flying everywhere. But she knew better than to ruin her reputation with such a display of anger. Instead, she for
Before getting in the driver's seat, Liam pulled out his phone and quickly composed a text message to his driver Steven. "Hey Steven, make sure Elena''s best friend Scarlett gets home safe tonight," he typed, hitting send before pocketing his phone.As they drove away from the event, Elena couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. She knew that with Liam, anything was possible, and she was eager to see where the special place would take them.Meanwhile, Steven had received Liam's message and immediately went to find Scarlett after the Event. As they made their way out of the event, he made sure to keep a watchful eye on her from the crowds, determined to get her home safely.Back in the car, Liam let out a small sigh of relief, knowing that Steven had everything under control. He turned to Elena and flashed her a devilish grin. "Now, where were we?" he teased, his eyes sparkling with desire.Elena's heart skipped a beat as Liam's words sent a jolt of electricity t
Liam watched her with a smile on his face as she perused the menu, her eyes wide with wonder. He felt a deep sense of joy at being able to make her happy in this way. "I want to make her smile like this forever," he thought to himself.Elena finally made her choice, beaming as she pointed to her selection. Liam couldn't help but feel his heart swell with affection as he watched her like a child in a candy store. They ate their meal, their eyes locked in a mutual gaze of happiness and contentment.As they finished their meal, Liam and Elena stepped into Liam's car and slowly made their way toward Elena's house. Suddenly, a powerful gust of wind swept across the city, causing Liam to halt the car along with the other vehicles on the road. The wind grew stronger by the second, making it difficult to continue driving. Liam lifted his gaze and spotted a grand hotel nearby, its towering structure imposing against the darkening sky. Without hesitation, Liam and Elena stepped out of the car,
Elena had been worried about how Liam would react to her condition, having been pestered for sex in the past by a former high school sweetheart. She had thought this situation was different, but tough as it seems- it's just business.As she sat lost in thought, Liam walked up to her and took her wine glass, placing it down on the table. He lifted her chin with one hand and held her by the waist with the other, drawing her in close to him. Their eyes met, and Elena felt a warmth spread through her body."Let's talk about those conditions of yours tomorrow," Liam said, his voice low and husky.Elena's heart skipped a beat as she gazed into his eyes, seeing the affection and desire that glowed within them. She knew that Liam was a man who took what he wanted, but she also felt a sense of trust in him. He had respected her wishes so far, and she hoped that he would continue to do so.As Liam leaned in closer, Elena felt her breath catch in her throat.As Elena unconsciously bit her lower
Liam's lips curled into a smirk as he watched Elena's expression turn to one of terror. "Yes, for the whole night," he confirmed, his tone laced with amusement.Elena felt her body freeze in disbelief. She couldn't believe that Liam would just assume that she would spend the night with him. "I think I should go home," she said, trying to keep her voice steady.Elena's heart was racing as she stood up from the chair, holding Liam's jacket tightly around her. "I should go home myself," she repeated her voice barely above a whisper. She started walking away from Liam, her mind racing with thoughts of his intentions toward her.But before she could take another step, Liam jumped up from his seat and gently pulled her towards him. Elena stumbled and fell onto his lap, her heart beating wildly as Liam wrapped his arms around her.Liam's eyes lingered on Elena's smooth neck and beautiful jawline as he held her close, a small smile playing on his lips. "I won't do anything against your will,
