Elena was taken aback when she saw Liam standing before her. She had no idea he would come to the club, as he had only asked for her location before hanging up. "Uh, we need to talk? Right now?" Elena pouted the seductive tone in her voice not going unnoticed by Liam. She attempted to stand up, but the alcohol in her system had taken its toll, causing her to lose her balance. Liam quickly sprang into action, catching her before she fell and holding her firmly in his arms. His desire for her tripled at the close proximity, but he couldn't ignore the worry he felt for her vulnerable state."Elena, are you okay? You're not in a good state," Liam said, concern lacing his voice as he held her steady.Elena was mortified at the situation. She had never been this close to any man aside from her dad and her high school sweetheart, who had parted ways with her long ago because she wasn't ready for a sexual commitment.As Liam held Elena in his arms, she felt safe and secure, despite her intox
Liam stepped forward to help, gliding his body against hers, causing Elena to jerk away. "What the hell!" she cursed again, her heart still racing from Liam's unexpected and unwelcome kiss.Without even thanking him, she slammed the door in Liam's face, leaving him standing outside. He couldn't help but be amused by her behavior, knowing she had stirred undying emotions within him.As he lingered at her door, Liam's thoughts were consumed with Elena. He couldn't shake the desire that had been unleashed between them, and he knew he had to find a way to make things right.Meanwhile, inside the safety of her house, Elena leaned against her door, her heart still pounding with adrenaline. Her legs shook, and her thoughts were a wild jumble of emotions. "Did Liam just kiss me, or is my drunken mind imagining things?" she thought out loud, her confusion and desire warring within her. She knew she needed time to sort out her feelings before she could face Liam again.****Isabella was overjoy
Elena's heart raced as she read Liam's messages, her eyes scanning each word with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. The first message caught her off guard, an apology for their unexpected kiss. She couldn't help but feel a flutter in her stomach as memories of the heated moment flooded her mind. But before she could dwell on it, her attention was drawn to the second message. Liam's driver would be picking her up in just a few short hours, at 10:00 AM. As Elena read through Liam's messages, her heart skipped a beat at the mention of the driver coming to pick her up. Glancing at the time, she realized she had only thirty minutes left to prepare. Hastily, she rushed to her closet and pulled out a form-fitting dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. The dress was a beautiful shade of burgundy, made from a soft, silky material that flowed gracefully as she moved. She paired it with a pair of black pumps that added an extra touch of elegance to her outfit. she slipped h
The limousine pulled up in front of Liam's mansion, and Elena's eyes widened in awe at the sight before her. The mansion was an elegant and imposing structure with intricate designs that spoke of its rich history. The gate slowly creaked open, revealing a long driveway lined with perfectly manicured lawns and gardens.As Mr. Steven stepped out of the car, Elena couldn't help but stare at the mansion in wonder. "It's beautiful," she breathed.Steven smiled at her admiration. "Yes, it is quite remarkable, isn't it? Mr. Liam is waiting for you inside, miss," he said, gesturing towards the entrance where a staff member was waiting to greet her.Elena stepped out of the car and thanked Steven for dropping off Scarlett earlier. As she made her way towards the entrance, she couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement mixed with nervousness. Steven looked at Elena as he admired her beauty and politeness. Throughout his many years working for Liam Hamilton, Steven had encountered various wo
As Elena turned to face Liam, she was surprised to find that Joseph had left while she was lost in admiration of the mansion's beauty. She couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement in her stomach at the sight of Liam, who stood before her looking incredibly handsome in his casual clothes. His athletic physique was on full display, and Elena couldn't help but feel a little flustered in his presence.Liam gestured towards the dining table, saying, "Shall we eat first before we get into the details of our meeting?"Elena nodded, still a little taken aback by the sight of him. As they made their way over to the table, Liam explained, "I wasn't sure what you would like to eat, so I told my chef staff to prepare all kinds of food."Elena's eyes widened in shock as she took in the sight of the lavish spread before her. There were platters of freshly caught seafood, plates of succulent meats, and a variety of colorful vegetables and fruits. The aroma of the food filled the room, making E
Realizing that he needed to give her space to think, Liam added, "You don't have to answer right away, just take your time and think about it. And even if you say no, it's okay. I'll look for another lady if I have to. Although, I hope you would agree"Elena's mind was racing as she considered Liam's offer. The idea of a fake marriage was daunting, but she couldn't deny the potential benefits it could bring. Liam was offering her the chance to start her own software company with his support and connections. And if she agreed to his proposal, she would also be helping him fulfill his father's wishes."Liam, I appreciate your offer," she finally said, her voice calm but hesitant. "But this is a big decision, and I need some time to think it over. Can I let you know in a few days?"Liam nodded understandingly. "Of course, Elena. Take your time. This is a big decision for both of us, and I want you to be sure before you make any commitments."With that, the two of them finished their wine
As Elena and Scarlett got into the car, they couldn't help but feel excited about the upcoming event. With Liam's help, they knew they were going to make a splash at the party. Steven picked up Elena and Scarlett in a sleek black limousine and drove them to the boutique. The ride was smooth and comfortable, and Scarlett chatted excitedly.Once they arrived at the boutique, they were greeted warmly by the staff. Elena and Scarlett spent the next few hours browsing through the racks, trying on different clothes, shoes, and jewelry. They laughed as they modeled different outfits for each other, offering opinions and advice on what looked best.Finally, after trying on countless outfits and accessories, Elena and Scarlett each found the perfect look that made their hearts race. Elena chose a stunning red gown that accentuated her curves, while Scarlett opted for a chic black jumpsuit that made her look effortlessly glamorous.Steven used Liam's black card to pay for their purchases, as p
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
