Carmen removed her focus from her breakfast and placed it on Liam as she stared at him.
“Is the a problem?” Carmen calmly asked.
“Are you not hungry?” Liam inquired while forcing himself to stop laughing.
Carmen reluctantly stared down at her plate and it came as no shock to her that she had barely eaten much.
‘It’s not like I am not starving, but this moment feels like a rare dream that I don't want to end, and the only thing keeping this dream going is this food.’ Carmen sadly thought as she pitifully looked at her breakfast.
“If you don't like it, you can order something different from the menu, or I can take you to another restaurant.” Liam gently said.
Carmen lifted her head and stared at her husband for about two minutes. She then let out a depressing sigh.

But I feel truly sorry towards my wife that I did such a thing to her,” Liam said.“How dare you!” Mrs. Smith screamed as she raised her hand.“Mom!” Carmen cried.She then rushed in front of Liam and her mother's vicious slap, and Mrs. Smith palm hit hard against her cheek, leaving a terrible bruise on her skin.The whispering in the hallway grew louder by the second as everyone gazed in shock.“Carmen, I am so sorry.” Mrs. Smith cried while her hands trembled.

Have you forgotten what your last stupid act caused us! How dare you go make trouble again?” Levi yelled.“Why are you here?” Liam reluctantly asked as he sat down behind his desk.Levi stared at his son in dismay for almost five minutes, and the hate Liam could see in his father's eyes had him feeling disgusted.“Went I brought you and your metal mother from the slums, I told you to be a useful son. If you become troubled, then I have no use for a trash like you! This should be the last time you put us in the smiths' bad book because of your stupidity!”Levi shouted.“I am going to ask you one last time?

After Carmen left his office, Liam stared at his phone for a long time. Then he grabbed it from the desk and made a call.Dax was in the middle of reviewing a document when he noticed his phone buzzing. He then hesitated for a second before picking up the phone and answering the call.“Hey,” Liam said.“What's up?” Dax asked while stressing over the reason his friend called.Liam paused for a moment as he anxiously tapped his desk“I will be going on a honeymoon trip with Carmen a day or two from now,” Liam stated.“Okay. And...” Dax awkwardly replied.Liam didn't know what to say next.He knew that he was being a bit childish. But the fact that Dax didn't answer his question had him feeling a bit tense.“Well, I just wanted you to know so that we can focus on the important tasks before I leave because I don't know how long we are going t

Carmen opened her eyes to the sound of her alarm clock, then she shut her eyelid for a second to avoid the sunlight beaming through her window.After slowly reopening her eyes, her sight rested on the male watch, laying on the bed stand.“We slept together.” Carmen happily mumbled.At that moment her phone rang. So she reached for it, then the smile on her lips slowly faded when she saw “mom” blinking on her screen.Carmen reluctantly swiped the answer icon. Then she rested the phone against her ear.“What is it?” Carmen asked while striving her best not to end the call that instant.“I raised you to know better than to answer me in such a manner.” Mrs. Smith's angry voice flowed out of the phone speaker.“Good morning, mother.”“Much better.”Out of frustration, Carmen rolled her eyes and softly sighed.

Carmen gazed at her husband's concerned expression, then she turned her face the other way.“No, there's nothing wrong.” Carmen mumbled.She then hurried to her suitcase, opened it, and grabbed the first clothes her hand touched before running into the bathroom.“What do you expect from her? You have been body-shaming her, and now, you just expect her to feel comfortable to naked herself in front of you?” Liam mumbled as he stared at the shut bathroom door.After Carmen had got done with her shower, she stepped out of the tub and got a hold of a towel, then dry her wet skin.Liam had just finished unpacking both of them suitcases when he heard Carmen shouted, “no.”Liam then walked over to the bathroom and gently knocked on the wooden frame, then waited for a response.“Are you okay in there?” Liam asked after Carmen did not answer.He then waited f

Carmen woke up the next morning with her upper body laying on Liam's chest while he hugged her tightly.She could see that he was still sleeping, so she remained stiff while staring at his face.“He’s extremely handsome from this angle,” Carmen whispered.At that moment, Liam's eyelids slowly lifted, and she was staring directly into his grey eyes.“I am sorry that I woke you.” Carmen pitifully mumbled.“You didn't. I woke up about an hour ago, but I didn't want to wake you up.” Liam replied.The thought of her husband lying awake in one position for an hour simply because he didn't want to wake her made Carmen speechless.“Breakfast?” Liam asked.Carmen slightly shooked her head to clear her thoughts. Then she smiled at her husband.“Sure,” Carmen mumbled.A minute passed, and Liam kept staring at her, but Carmen d

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
He was never mine Mrs. Davis
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.

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
