Guilty Pleasure Chapter 52
When I got there, I pulled over. I waited in the car for a bit trying to pull myself together, when I was ready to get out of the car, I saw Liam's wife and her lawyer, they were kissing beside her car. My eyes widened in surprise, I knew at once that I had to go closer to confirm it's them. I got out of my car and walked up to them, when I got closer, it became clear that it was them. Once they felt my presence, the jolted apart and they both looked embarrassed"Well hello to you two" I said with a smile all over my face. finally something interestingThey didn't have the audacity to talk. After a minute the lawyer spoke"It's not what you think?" He explained looking embarrassed"What do you think am thinking?" I asked folding my arms and enjoying the show"What do you want bitch!?" Mrs. Jones asked"I would watch my mouth if I were you especially after what I just saw" I said to her"Oh yeah? What's that?" She asked folding her arms and looking right at me"You really want me to el

Ana's PovI have been avoiding my work place since after the incident but today, I finally feel ready to face my fears. I opened my glass door and walked into my saloon, my employees were busy working, on seeing me, my secretary smiled "Welcome back" she said still smiling "we have missed you" she added"Thank you" I said with a quick smile "what's on my list?" I asked not wanting to waste too much time with pleasantries"Well, some of your customers called and I told them you are still out but I can call them back if you want and feel ready of course" she replied"Okay, please do that" I said "Alright, I will do just that and this came for you" she said bringing up a vase of fresh flowers to the top of the table "Oh, I wonder who they are from" I muttered to myselfI carried the verse and when into my office, immediately I dropped it on the table, my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID and it was Ken calling. I answered it"Hello" I said"Did you get the flowers?" He

On my way to the office, I stopped at Ana's saloon since it was on the same way. I went in to meet her sitting down and doing nothing"Hey, look at you, just sitting over there like a queen" I said"Girl please, but I am a queen though" she said and we both laughed"What are you doing here?" She asked"I am going to the firm, I was called in, they want to talk to me" I explained"Okay, is it good or bad?" She asked sitting up"I—i don't know, that's what am about to find out. I am hoping it is good though" I said"Yeah, me too. Fingers crossed" she said "you look nervous" she pointed outIf only she knows, nervous is an understatement right now. I can't wait to hear their decision and yet I don't want to because of the fear that it could be bad news"Yeah, am a little nervous" I said smiling awkwardly"You sure are, I mean look at those tensed shoulders" she said pointing at my shoulders"Girl, don't start. My shoulders are fine" I defended"Okay, alright" she said raising her hands"

I wish you hadn't done that, the decision have already being made. I wish you hadn't gone ahead and made a fool out of yourself. Sounding so desperate and pointing fingers. It's pitiful" he said with a smirkThat's when I realized that he already had it all planned out. He really is a snake"Why did you lie?" I asked him disappointed"I didn't lie" he replied sternly relaxing back on his seat"You know you told me to take Mrs. Jones's case" I said impatiently"You shouldn't have said that" he said"Why did you do that?" I asked still trying to get my head around everything that just happened, which is stupid. Why would he encourage Mrs. Jones to sue the firm, it's just not adding up"See, we are going to give you a paycheck and willing to write you up a recommendation letter, that is assuming you are not disbarred" he said arrogantlyYou have got to be kidding me! If anyone told me that this day would come at a time in my life, I would have never believed it. I have to do something."
Guilty Pleasure Chapter 56
I saw the displeased look on Liam's face but I tried to ignore it. I thought because of the situation at hand that he would accept help from wherever he can and not act out. But I couldn't have been more wrong."Alright, he said he is on his way, he should be here soon" I said trying to ignore his stiff and angry facial expression. We sat down quietly"Yeah, to help a friend apparently" he said looking at me, his eyes red with anger. I just wish he wouldn't start "you said—you told him you have a friend that needed help, you couldn't tell him am your boyfriend?" He asked looking pissed"I didn't think that was important, especially not right now" he sat up on his seat, I knew more was coming, he can't just let stuff go even if it's for his own good. Seeing his expression, I continued. "Liam, this is not the time or the place" I said to him"Yes it is Mia, why won't you tell this dude that I am your fucking boyfriend, you went ahead and called me a friend, why? With all this shit we ha

"Okay, this is bad. Well the first thing you need to do is file a report so you go into record first, I can help out with the rest" he said "Oh okay, that's good. Thank you—" I started"Actually, i–i think I can handle this on my own" he said cutting me off and putting both hands inside his pocket "Liam, he is trying to help" I said to him so he can stop misbehaving and remember the goal after all we did talk about this before he got here but he just ignored me and continued"How old are you? Because you look like you just got out of high school" he said to William who is now confused on what is going on"Thirty-three" he answered still not getting the point of the sudden question thrown at him"Okay look man, we are fine, I will just have a friend help me out with this and he is a really good attorney but thank you, you may go now" he said rudely"Okay, sorry I couldn't be more help" William said still confused on what's going on. I mean I called him out of urgency and asked him to

Just then Ana heard the commotion and came right back"Mia, what is going on? You need to tell me now" She asked worried"Ana calm down okay, his wife had an accident and she's blaming him" I lied I just need to coordinate myself and her being here questioning me isn't helping me do that"What kind of accident" she asked shaking me"Ana it's just an accident okay, just an accident! Look Ana, I just need a minute okay" I shouted so she can just leave me be"Is she here? In this hospital?" She asked"Yes, she's here" I replied "but listen–" I continued "Hold on, hold on, did he hurt her? And how bad is it" She asked"No he did not. Ana look I just need a minute to get myself together okay. I will tell you everything later" I said trying to get her to calm down and leave me alone as her interrogation and judgment is the last thing I need right now"He tried to kill her" Mrs. Jones lawyer said appearing out of no where"What? Mia what the heck? What am I hearing, you are with a guy who wo

As I stood there not knowing what to believe anymore, she spoke again"Look at me, look what he did to me. Do you see what he did? You can't see can you? He has blinded you, as you see is what he wants you to see and believe but mark my words, he is going to do this to you, he will. He is not a good person, but of course you can't see that now until it is too late. He beat me, he doesn't care what happens to me. Be careful, he is an isolator, he will try to move you away from your family and your friends, get you all alone, give you a job just so he can control you, control the bag. Sneaking around you like a fucking snake. Control who you talk to, who you see, what you hear, where you go. He is an abuser and he is going to do this to you. He is gonna beat you just like he did me. He is gonna do this to you, he will, you will see" she said groaning in painI stood there and just listened trying to control the fear that is growing rapidly inside me, to control the cold chills that is ci

Mia's PoVThe next morning I prepared and headed to the office, I had a plan and the plan was to expose my boss for who he truly is and what he has truly done. I know he is smart enough not to implicate himself so I have to be very crafty with this. I need to push the call ight buttons or all is lost. I don't have the evidence the P.I gave me with me anymore since they were confiscated by the police after Liam dragged me into his mess once again. I have to be really smart about this actually because I do not have any other plan, if this doesn't work, I don't know what next to do. I have just one shot and I plan on making good use of it. I took a taxi to the office, ones I entered the premises, I told my secretary to let Mr. Edward know am here and that I want to meet with him. After she made the call, she told me that he said to send me in, which I know he wouod,. He must have been curious as to what brought me back here with everything that is going on in my life right now which am

"He said one thing at a time and promised everything is going to be alright" I said sitting down on the couch and stretching out my legs. It's been a really long day and my legs are aching badly. A massage would be such a bad idea right now. I desperately need one"Ana, do you think am stupid?" I asked"What? No, not at all" she answered quickly and I smiled"You are a good friend and I know you love me but I need an honest answer this time please" I said to her"Mia, you are the smartest woman that I know, I don't think you are stupid, you just made some wrong choices that's all and hell, who doesn't at some point?" She said"I'm not so sure about the smart part" I said as I started to get emotional again and tears started to line up"Mia, opening your heart to someone doesn't make you stupid, you were in love, it's not something that you can control, we can't control who we love" she said in a sweet voice"I don't know, I feel really stupid, I feel so empty" I said sobbing"Hey stop

"Liam took me there to see a building, he wanted me to start up private practice there, to start my own firm in the middle of nowhere. His wife said some things about him being an isolator and a control freak and am seeing that now"This is bad Mia" she said taking a sip from her glass then her phone began to ring, it was an unknown number. She picked up"Hello, who is this?" She asked"Hi Ana, this is Liam" he replied "It's Liam" she said to me"What?" I asked coming closer and whispering to her to put it on speaker"How the hell did you get this number?" she asked him"I just spoke to my lawyer, we really need to talk to Mia, it's really important, is she there with you?" He asked ignoring Ana's question"No she is not, whatever you want to tell her, you can tell it to me, i will just pass it on later" she said to him"I know you don't know me like that but I promise I didn't do all these things am being charged for, am innocent. It's just my wife and her lawyer that is doing all th

Mia PoVWhen we got to Ana's place, I sat down like someone whom the body was present but the mind was absent. Ana went over to her fridge and got out a bottle of alcohol and two glass cups. We came over to the couch and dropped them on the table then poured out the drinks into the two cups, and slide one my way as she took up her own glass and drank from it, a slight frown appeared on her face as she did"Are you going to tell me what happened now?" She said taking another sip"He was laundering money and dealing with really dangerous people" I said still sitting still"What? Mia did you know about this?" She asked surprised"No, I did not. You know I can never involve myself in something like that. Why would you even ask that" I said looking at her"Then why are they in your house and taking all your stuff?" She asked still doubting that I didn't know anything at all about the crimes "He asked me to move some money into my account but that was to keep it away from his wife, not bec

Ana's PovI drove over to Mia's place after she said not to come pick her again, I waiting for over an hour but she didn't come in, so I went across the street to get dinner but when I came back up the door was unlocked and wide open and there were police all over the place tossing everything around and moving things. I was so shocked I thought I went to the wrong room, but looking inside I realized I didn't go to the wrong room, I am at the right room, all of Mia's properties were there and the police officers were just touching everything."What the heck? What is going on here?" I asked as one police officer rushed out to stop me from entering the premises "is Mia inside that house?" I asked the police officer but before he was able to respond, Mia showed up, she was coming from the stairs and has no idea about all of this."You again?" She said to the police officer that came out to stop me from entering the place, I guess they know each other or have met at least"What the hell is

"Good news, he accepted to let you meet with him, he should be here any second" he said and I breathed out in relief and my face brightened up"Thank you" I said happy he did me the favour"Sure" he said. Then the door opened up and another officer led Liam into the room in handcuffs. I should really get used to seeing him like this since it's now happening more often. After the other officer brought him in, he left the room"I will let you two talk" the nice officer said before leaving us both alone in the room and closing the door behind him"Hey, listen" Liam started but I could wait for him to talk not after what he put me through today and all the things I found out about him"What the fuck Liam" I said upset"Look, listen to me. It's my wife and her lawyer lover, they are the ones setting me up, they are the ones doing all this. I can tell you I didn't do anything. They had all this planned out" he said desperately"Do you know how worried I was, when those guys carried you, I

"Look the charges are all legit" he said apologetically but still confident"You should know that his wife is really on to him, she could have plotted all of this, believe that woman is crazy, I wouldn't put it pass her, maybe you should be focusing on her instead torturing me" I said upset"No, this isn't his wife. He has been doing this for a very long time now, even before he met her,tl this one is on him not her" he said"Okay I think am gonna go" I said getting off the car seat but he got off the driver's seat and stopped me "Please just calm down, I know this is a whole lot for you but being angry about it isn't going to make it go away and besides where are you going to go?" he said to me"No am not upset about what you are telling me, I guess am just angry at myself for not figuring it out on time. You think you know someone but–shit!" I said with a mixed feeling. This is just all too much"Hey listen, you know I really can drive you back to the city, instead of sitting here

Once he heard my reply, he parked by the side of the road and got down from his car"Hey, are you okay?" He said coming toward me, I became scared and alert I took some steps backwards to put a space between us at least to give me a headstart if something should happen. What is he is a psychopath or a kiddnapper or a killer? There were many things running through my mind and my insecurities set in. If anything should happen to me here, nobody will know because Liam drove me out here very early in the morning, I didn't get the chance to call or tell anybody where I was headed and now I am left here no phone, absolutely nothing on me but my cloth"Obviously not" I said still suspicious"Well, did your car break down somewhere? I can help you to fix it, I am not a mechanic but I know a few things" he said nicely. How is he so nice, it's awkward I thought to myself"No" I said keeping my eyes on him and studying him"In that case, can I give you a ride back to wherever?" He asked"Do you

It was a building, a complete building. I did not know if I show uod get excited or not. "Liam what is this?" I asked a little confused"It's a building, you can start your firm here. I mean it looks a little bit old, we can fix it up a bit" he said smiling. I stood there still confused, why would I want my firm an hour away the city? Was he joking and I specifically told him I don't want to go private"It fit the profile perfectly, it's spacious has all the equipments and fittings intact, you will love it, let's just take a look inside" he continued"Liam, we didn't talk about this, you didn't think this is something you should have mentioned to me before now? Instead of driving us out here this early?" I asked a little upset"Just wait a second okay, let's go take a look inside first, am sure you will love it" he said. I just felt that he wasn't hearing me"I'm a city girl, I love the city, I don't want to be here Liam, out alone here in the middle of nowhere?. All my friends are i
