2024-10-29 19:42:56The night air grew harsher as Liam slowly got up from the ground and stood to his feet while suppressing his body from shivering from the cold.
“Carmen is pregnant and it's mine?” Liam asked with his gaze fixed on Roman’s murderous eyes.
“Hunter, level him to where he belongs!” Roman emotionlessly said.
With soulless eyes and tight fist, Hunter rushed over to Liam and viciously threw a punch which hit between Liam’s waist and rib cage, causing him to fall to his knees while coughing out blood.
His hands then tightly wrapped around his stomach as he swallowed the pain and restrained his lips from letting out a moan.
“That’s better.” Roman mockingly said.
As anger welled up in his chest, Liam caged it and lifted his head to gaze at Roman. Then he slowly fought back his pain and stood to his feet.
“I know that I messed up with Carmen, and I am deeply sorry for my actions. But I am ready to be the man your daughter deserves if you will just give

The hotel lobby was busy and noisy, yet Carmen could barely hear a thing as she struggled with her emotions.It took her a while for her to steady her breath as she strove to calm the panic she felt. Then she hastily wiped her face and softly said, “I don’t know if the child is for Liam or Dax, that’s why we are here to get a DNA test done. So please dad! Please, stop whatever you are doing. I am begging you.”His rage only seemed to intensify when Roman heard the fear in his daughter’s voice. But in the midst of anger, he also felt hurt, realizing that Liam was right about his actions hurting his daughter instead of protecting her.However, when Roman gazed back at Liam, his sadness was quickly devoured by his rage which left him in a stormy mood.“I warn you, Carm. I told you that if you don’t handle it, I will. You should have listened to me, instead, you have forced my hands.” Roman coldly said.A

The first place Dax went when he arrived in the country was Carmen’s villa since he had spent the entire night tossing in bed and wondering if he might have overreacted during their conversation. As he stood patiently at the door, it took a moment of hesitation for him to finally knock. But Dax got no response, so he repeatedly knocked and after banging several times on the door, he stopped and deeply inhaled to quench his anger.Then Dax took out his phone, dial Carmen's number, and listened to it ring while he paced back and forth, striving not to let anger cloud his judgment.“The number you have called has not answer, please try again.” Dax quivered with frustration as those words repeated in his ear countless times as he continuously c

The first light of dawn met Carmen standing before her dresser mirror, holding her hair in a tight ponytail. Then she smiled at her reflection before grabbing her purse and hurrying out of her room.After Carmen had walked out of the front door and approached her car, she slowly stopped in her tracks as her lashes blinked uncontrollably while she slowly rubbed her index finger behind her ear.“I called you multiple times yesterday. Why didn't you answer my call?” Dax calmly said without losing eye contact with Carmen.The stress his stare caused her only grew more uncomfortable by the second. So she looked down at her hands and attempted to slow her breathing. But still, Carmen felt frozen and unable to speak since she could feel his eyes on her.“You are back with him, right?” Dax asked with annoyance mixed with anger in his tone even though his voice sounded calm.At this point, what Carmen felt was a deep sense of guilt and remorse that she couldn't

After they arrived at Liam's villa, the first thing that caught Carmen’s attention was the numerous empty wine bottles scattered around the house as she helped Liam to his room.However, what left Carmen stunned was the number of bottles she saw in the bedroom.“When did you become such an alcoholic?” Carmen mumbled beneath her breath while staring at Liam in disbelief.Although she didn't want to bring it up, there was too much empty wine bottle for Carmen to ignore.“Well, someone left me and my heart broken, so what was I supposed to do? Not drink?” Liam teasingly replied.“Maybe if you didn't sleep with Ali, I wouldn't have.” Carmen lashed out before she could get a hold of her tongue.“Are you good?”“No, I'm not.”“Carm, I was just kidding. I know that I am at fault for where we are now, and I am so sorry for that.”With tears beaming in Carmen's eyes, she walked away from Liam, approached the bed, and sat down.“No,

As the first light of a new day crept into the room, Carmen’s hand brushed Liam's side of the bed, and after feeling the sheets for him, she slowly raised her eyelids, and sleepy stared at his board back.“Why are you up so early?” Carmen asked as she gently rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.In a rush, Liam pulled his shirt over his wound, turned around, and stared back at her as his face softened into a smile.“How bad is it?” Carmen asked, looking at him with a serious expression.“Ummm, my wounds are healing pretty well,” Liam replied while avoiding her gaze.“Can I see?”“Ahhh… I just checked it, so there's nothing to worry about.”“Is that so.”“Yes,”With a calm expression, Carmen stepped down from the bed, walked towards Liam, and stopped when there was no space between them. Then she slowly started unbuttoning her blouse.“What are you doing?” Liam mumbled in shock.“You are fine, so it's okay for us to

The moment Carmen stopped her car and the lights from the cameras begin to go off and on, she tightened her hands around the steering wheel while watching the reporters from her windshield.Drowning in her own fear, Carmen's body didn’t know how to react, it just shut down, and she froze to a point where she was hardly breathing.Suddenly a tap on her window drew Carmen's attention to Hunter's face as he stared back at her.“Are you okay, young boss?” Hunter asked after Carmen had rolled the windshield down.As she held in her tears and suppressed her emotions, Carmen’s face became expressionless. Then she pushed opened the door and stepped down from the car.With a cold gaze, she stared at Hunter, pressed the lock button on her key, and asked, “Where're my parents?”“They are already inside. Your dad sent me out here to wait on you.” Hunter replied.“How nice of him. We shouldn't keep them waiting then.”“Yes, young boss. Please keep

“You lost her again. Just like that, you allow her to slip through your fingers.” Halton said while staring at the longing in Dax's eyes as he watched Carmen walk out of the hall.“What am I supposed to do? Chain her up and trap her in a cage?” Dax mumbled.With a smirk on his face, Halton lightly patted his son on the shoulder and said, “Well that's a solid plan. Now we are getting somewhere.”“You must be kidding me. Let me know if my voice wasn't sarcastical enough.” Dax coldly said while staring at his father like he was going insane.As he mentally brushed off his son's comment, Halton faintly chuckled as though he had remembered something funny. Then a mocking smile crossed his face.“You are weak-hearted just like your mother.” Halton teasingly said with tension in his grin.“Don't bring mom into such a conversation. She deserves to rest in peace after having a husband

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
