2020-10-09 21:25:44Carmen sat on the couch with a frustrated face as she watched the long hand of the clock slowly change its direction. She felt scared and upset that it was now eleven-thirty o'clock and Liam had not arrived home yet.
Their brief episode that morning, him accusing her and denying her, weighed heavily on her heart, but her mind remained occupied with worries about why he had not reached home.
Carmen stood up from the couch for a minute and paced back and forth for some time as she tried to keep her messed up emotions in check and stopped herself from crying. After walking around the room for a while without hearing a car sound, she sat down on the couch and continued watching the clock.
As Carmen sat there for another fifteen minutes without removing her eyes from the wall clock or shifting from her current position, her stomach gurgled from hunger. She pressed both her hands against her abdomen and squeezed it tight to su

The next morning Liam woke up with a nasty headache and he felt like someone had smashed his head against a concrete wall countless times. For a couple minutes, he tried to get out of bed, but the pain seemed to triple each time he lifted his head. “I should have taken the damn pills!” Liam thought, feeling a sense of frustration. Then he gave his body one last push, and finally, he succeeded in getting out of bed. His head pounded with every step he took toward the room door. When Liam opened it, he was shocked to see the pack of hangover pills and glass of water still seated in their previous position from last night. The only difference was that Carmen had covered the glass of water. Not knowing what to feel, Liam reached down for the items and took them into his room. Then he placed a glass of water on the bed stand and popped out a pill from within the pack. 'Why does she still care about me after everything I have said and done? Shouldn't she be angry and hurt by now?' Li

Carmen ran into her room and slammed the door behind her. She then rested her back against the door and wept bitterly till her vision got dim because of the tears in her eyes.She tried to suppress the suffocating feeling in her chest, but it only got stronger by the second. None of this was what she wanted in a marriage. All she desired was to marry a man that loves her, so why is she being punished for falling in love and following her heart?"This is so unfair," she mumbled.Carmen did not know how long she had been crying until she heard a bang on her door.“You have two minutes left!” Liam shouted with force in his voice.However, beneath the surface of Liam's icy attitude, he felt a bit of pity towards Carmen when he heard her soft cry.“I will soon be out,” Carmen replied while trying to keep her voice stable.

Carmen woke up the next morning to the sound of her ringtone. She tossed in bed a few times, then with her eyes closed, her hand searched the nightstand for her phone until she got a hold of it and answered the call.“Good morning,” Carmen said with sleep still in her eyes while wondering who was calling her this early.“Carmen, are you awake?” Lina's voice rings in Carmen's ears.'Mother?' Carmen thought.Immediately the sleep left her body when she realized that she was speaking with Liam's mom. Carmen was now wide awake, and she quickly sat up in bed.“Yes, I am awake. Is there a problem?” Carmen answered.She knows Lina only calls her when she needs something and the fact that Lina had called this earlier means that it must be something urgent.“No. I simply called to remind you about my invit

When Freddie stopped the car, Carmen woke up from her nap, looked out the window, and realized that they were not at a shopping mall but Davis' company.“What are we doing here? I thought we were going shopping.” Carmen asked.She faced Liam but quickly looked away when she saw the furious expression on his face after her question.“I am not a less busy person, and I have a job to do. When I fulfilled my work schedule for today, then we can go do your stupid stuff.” Liam answered.'Do you have to humiliate me? You know that I worked at my father's company before I married you. The only reason I quit my job was that my dad believed that a married woman's only purpose was to serve her husband, and I can only work if you want me to do so.' Carmen thought.However, these were words she could only say in her mind because Liam seem already angry, and she deemed

The moment that Carmen walked out of the building and the gentle breeze blew against her skin, she felt a bit better. She forced a bright smile on her face and allowed the pain in her heart to fade away.Once she felt like herself again, Carmen took a few steps forward and began walking among the crowd.She walked a few distances before her eyes caught a glance at a classy necklace displayed in the window of the "Men and women boutique.""Since Liam is busy, I can do the shopping on my own. How tough can it be?" Carmen mumbled as she entered the store."Hello, and welcome to the 'men and women boutique.' How can I be of assistance?" A lady said."I came to look around. If I find anything to my taste, I will make a purchase." Carmen replied."Okay then, I am right here if you need help.""Thank you."The fi

It was exactly nine on the dot when Liam heard a knock on his door. He did not bother to respond since the office door had been open, and his mother had entered his office."When I called Jerry, and he said that he was still at the office, I knew you would also be here too. Why are you still at the company at this hour?" Lina scolded her son."What do you want, mother?" Liam asked without staring up at Lina."I was checking with Jerry about things at the company, and that's when I found out that you were still in the building.""I will ask you again. What do you want?"Lina scowled at her son's outrageous behavior toward her, but his attitude did not come as a surprise since they did not have the best mother and son bond."Did Carmen inform you about tomorrow?" Lina asked."It was you who pushed her to remind me about your stupid in

At ten o'clock on the dot, Carmen and Liam had arrived at the Davis compound.Carmen felt depressed as she looked through the window and stared at the enormous mansion. It was not her first time being here. Yet in the past, her visit to this place with Liam wasn't always idyllic, but at least they were in a good relationship back then, or so she thought. However, he could barely look her way now."Can you fake a smile, at least?" Liam coldly asked.Carmen turned and gazed at him, then she brightly smiled. But Liam only seemed to be angrier."You are trying too hard." He sharply said.Carmen's lips carved into an effortless smile as she tried to suppress the panic she was feeling."Are you trying to ruin my mood with such a stiff smile?" Liam mumbled.Freddie stared at them from the v-mirror, and he could see that they were both in torment

The study's door shut, and Liam felt like he was standing in the presence of two angry lions that couldn't wait to devour him, but this was not a strange feeling because it had been like this since his father brought him and his mother to the mansion."You ungrateful brat! You are just a bastard! How dare you put up an attitude in my presence?" Anthony shouted while he waved his hand in front of Liam's face out of anger.Liam did not move a muscle as he gazed at his grandpa with no care, nor did he seem sorry about a thing. Instead, his stare was as cold as the first of December in winter."I spoke the truth. Why are you guys mad? Are you all afraid that Carmen will leave me, and you both will lose your connection with Carmen's family wealth? Ha! How pathetic." Liam mockingly stated."What do you mean, you bastard?!" Levi screamed in a rage.Liam frowned when he heard the word 'b

He was never mine Epilogue
When Freddie brought the car to a stop, he stared back, saw that Liam was sleeping, and faintly smiled as he thought, 'Sir just arrived in the country from a business trip, and yet he didn't hesitate when Miss Smith asked him to pick up Ethan. He really cares about young sir.'Realizing that the car wasn't moving, Liam raised his eyelids and asked, "We are here?""Yes, sir," Freddie said.Without uttering another word, Liam got down from the car and headed into the school building.When he got to Ethan's class and his teacher saw him, she smiled and said, "Ethan, your father is here."Keeping silent, Ethan walked over to Liam and mumbled, "Hello,"With a smile on his face, Liam sighed and thought, 'I have been in your life for one year now, and you won't call me 'father.' How long will it take to make you open up to me and believe that I'm not going to leave you.'Afterward, he extended his hand to Ethan, and not hesitating, he

The sound of her ringtone caused Carmen to set the pancake box on the kitchen counter. Then she picked up the phone, answered the call, and said, "Hey, mom." "Are you okay?" Mrs. Smith worriedly asked from the other end of the line. Confused by her mother's question, Carmen calmly uttered, "Why wouldn't I be?" "Well, Ummm… We were told that Ali was at the company yesterday?" "Seriously, you guys are still keeping tabs on me!" "No! Of course, not… Well, okay, yes we are. But not in the way that you think. Your dad and I were just checking in with Tracy this morning to find out how your first day went." At that moment, Carmen heard Mr. Smith say, "I told her not to call you!" Giggling faintly, the slight anger she felt slowly faded, and she said, "It's fine. We handle the situation pretty well, I think." "We?" Mrs. Smith asked, sounding curious. "Liam and I." "You guys are a

Keeping his eyes fixed on Carmen and Ethan as they stood by the car door, waiting on him, Liam walked over to them.When he was a step away from them, he stopped. Then Carmen met his eyes and said, "Ethan wanted us to wait out here for you.""Thank you, bud," Liam uttered, looking down at his son.Then he focused his gaze back at Carmen, and her face still bore no expression, making it hard for him to guess what she was thinking or how she felt.A few minutes later, as Freddie drove them out of the parking lot, the car was silent and continued to be even after he got on the main road.That bothered Ethan a lot, and he looked up at Liam on his left for a few seconds, and then looked to his right at Carmen before mumbling "I made a friend at school today.""Really! Bud, that's amazing!" Liam said with a look of pride in his eyes."Yeah, baby. What's your friend's name?" Carmen asked, unable to stop smiling.With an excited

The office was silent as Carmen stared coldly at Ali, wondering what she would say to her.At last, she lowered her brows and said, "We are not that close, so let's save the chit chat, and you can excuse yourself and leave.""Oh come on, Carm. Don't tell me you are still holding onto past grudges." Ali cunningly said, sluggishly relaxing back on the seat.Although Carmen didn't know where the conversation was heading, the last thing she wanted was to continue it.So she looked straight into Ali's eyes and said, "We are not doing this.""Doing what?" Ali asked with an innocent expression."I k

"Ding Dong!"Withdrawing his hand from on the doorbell, Liam waited patiently for a couple of seconds.Then he reached for the bell again, but the door suddenly opened, and Carmen stood in the doorway, staring at him."I hope I'm not too early," Liam mumbled, drawing his hand to his side."No. You are on time." Carmen said as she stepped aside for him to enter.After walking into the hallway, Liam gazed back and asked, "Where's Ethan?""He's having his breakfast," Carmen said, shutting the door.Afterward, she and Liam headed into the dining room together.When they arrived, and Liam sight rested on his son, his face lit up, and he excitedly uttered, "Hey bud. Ready for your first day of school?"Pouting, Ethan looked away from his cereal, stared at Carmen, and mumbled, "Mommy, why can't you be the one to take me to school.""We talked about this, honey. Your dad doesn't have much to do today, so he's

"Mommy," Ethan called out, looking at Carmen before staring down at her vibrating phone.Then he gently shook her arm until she finally raised her lashes and stared at him.Still feeling dizzy, a soft smile crept on her lips as she stared at her son's grey eyes and long lashes."What is it, baby?" Carmen whispered."Your phone is ringing," Ethan mumbled, drawing back on the bed as his mother sat up.It took her a second to fully awake. Then she stared down at her phone, picked it up, and answered the call."Good morning, mother," Carmen said, raffling Ethan's hair as he giggled faintly."I know it's early. But I and your father was discussing, and we thought since you have spent four months on that end, you are ready to take over the SM branch there." Mrs. Smith's voice echoed into her ear.Keeping silent, Carmen rested back on the headboard and thought, 'Four months? It's been that long already?'"What did Carm say?" Sh

For a while, Lina stared at her son, wondering if he was serious or not."I ready don't want to repeat what I said," Liam mumbled, gazing away from her. "You need to leave.""I am your mother," Lina whispered, clutching her fist."Remember the days in the darkroom, when I was screaming to be let out, I needed you to be my mother then or when Anthony and Levi left bruises on my skin and made me bleed, I wanted you to be my mother…""Liam…""There were so many instances that are needed you so desperately to realize that I am your son and put me first! But you didn't!""I'm…""I'm not going to be like you, mother. My child comes first even before the woman that brought me into this world, so you need to leave!"Fighting back tears, Carmen clapped her hand over her trembling lips as she stared at Liam with a touch of sadness in her eyes."I know my wrongs." Lina cried, not knowing what else to say.
He was never mine You've lost the right to see me as such
Staring coldly at his grandfather, Liam scowled before gazing at his mother and saying, "It was supposed to be just you!""Well, when father found out that I was seeing Ethan, he wanted to meet him too, so he flew over to me for us to come together," Lina said, smiling at her son.However, that didn't change Liam's expression, and his eyes got colder the more he stared at his grandfather."Are you going to let us in?" Anthony asked, scowling at his grandson.The atmosphere was intense, and Carmen felt it as she approached Liam at the door."Mr. Davis?" Carmen mumbled, losing control over her expression for a second and frowning.Then she quickly curved her lips into a smile and calmly called out, "Liam, are you not going to step back?"Taking in a deep breath, Liam continued to give his grandfather an icy stare for a few minutes before allowing himself to step away from the door.Everything in him hated to see Anthony and
