2020-10-10 00:32:04The 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."

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

The next morning Carmen jumped out of her sleep when she heard a loud knock on her room door."Open the door."Carmen heard Liam's voice from on the other side of the door, and in a rush, Carmen got out of bed and raced to the door.Once she opened it, she met Liam staring at her with an aloof expression on his face.“Good morning. Can I do something for you?” Carmen sleepily asked while striving to keep a stable smile on her face.“Get ready.” Liam said in a cold tone.“For what?”“Shouldn't you know already?”Carmen confusedly gazed at him as her mind skipped through various reasons Liam was at her door so early in the morning. However, since they left his parents' house yesterday, he had not spoken a word to her until now, so she found it difficult to gues

Carmen walked into Liam's office with fear in her heart. But she didn't have the guts to show it on her face.Once Carmen closed the door behind her, she waited for a minute before walking closer towards Liam.As he sat down behind his desk, he didn't show any emotions on his face. So it was difficult for Carmen to tell what he was thinking.But somehow she felt as though he was pretty mad, and she didn't know if it was because he was jealous or it was his pride.“Start talking.” Liam calmly said.However, the way he spoke gave Carmen a clear picture of how he felt, and in that instant, she wished that she didn't walk into that office with him.“I don't know what you mean.” Carmen softly said.She knew that she did nothing wrong. But the expression on Liam's face made her feel guilty for a crime that doesn't exist.“Haha! You are really a tramp.” Li

Dax followed Liam into the office and slammed the door behind him.“Did my door do something to you?” Liam asked.“Yes, it did.” Dax said.Liam frowned at his friend’s mad expression as he took his seat. He tipped the desk while striving to act patient even though he wasn't.“Are you angry with my door or me?” Liam asked.Dax walked to the front of the desk, pulled the chair closer to the table, and sat down. He knew what he was about to say was none of his concern. But he still planned to say it anyway.“We are both men, so I am not going to hold back my feelings. I am mad at you, you prick!” Dax angrily replied.“I don't recall us having any childhood grudges, and you just arrived in the country, so it is kind of difficult for me to guess how I offended you.” Liam calmly

Liam’s heart skipped a beat. Then he stopped and turned around to gaze at Dax. His eyes bear coldness when he stared at his friend.“I see you picked up a new and disturbing behavior.” Liam coldly said.“What are you talking about?” Dax jokingly asked.“Isn't it disturbing that you are listening in on other conversations?”“Why are you being so serious? I happened to hear the lady's voice when I tapped you on the shoulder. I wasn't eavesdropping on anything. You seemed tense. Is everything okay?”Liam placed both his hands into his pocket as he let out a sigh of relief.“I am not stressed. I need you to stay out of my business and stop whatever you have going on with my wife!” Liam coldly said.Dax seemed a bit disheartened. He then looked down at his shoes to hide the sadness that occupied his eyes.“There's nothing going on between Car

Carmen bit on her lower lip as she struggled to not allow her cry from within to slip out of her mouth.She stood still for three seconds, feeling like she was being swallowed by the anguish ripping throughout her heart.Liam gazed at Carmen's back while wondering about what thoughts were going through her head and for once, he felt like he wanted to listen to her feelings, but she wasn't saying a word.At last, Carmen built up enough courage, and she used that strength to walk into the bathroom. Then she slammed the door and locked it.Even though Carmen and Liam had so much to say to each other, the room grew silent since they didn't have the courage to speak those words out loud.Carmen listened to the silence in her room.

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.

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
