Her Unexpected Love Story Chapter Thirty-Four
Emma’s POVBe calm, Emma. I repeated this to myself in my head about three times as I tried to maintain my composure with Liam being this close to me right now.“Hey, babe,” I said, plastering on a fake smile as he spun me around to face him.“How are you?”With the way he was looking at me, it was as though his eyes were boring holes into my soul.“I’m good,” I said, my smile faltering.“I know I’m the last person you want to be holding you like this right now, but we need to, you get that right?” he said, bending down to whisper into my ears, so only I could hear what he was saying.“I know,” I whispered back, then let go of him. “I missed you,” I said, audible enough for others to hear this time.“I missed you too,” he smiled, then dipped his head down and gave me a small kiss that lingered on my lips for a few seconds.God, his lips are so soft.I would honestly kiss them all day if I could.“Hey mum,” Liam said, letting go of me and hugging his mother, finally acknowledging her

Emma’s POV “Hey, Anna,” he greeted her as she walked up to where we stood. “Hi, Liam,” she responded, smiling at him. It was honestly so funny how she completely ignored my presence. She just continued speaking to him like I wasn’t standing right there. “Hi, Anna,” I decided to speak up, interrupting their conversation. She ignored me. Liam didn’t say anything about her ignoring me either. “Hi, Anna,” I spoke up again, my voice louder this time. “Hello, Emma,” she looked at me in such a vile manner. The smile she held while talking to Liam dropped instantly as she rolled her eyes. God, she acts like such a witch. “Nice turnout tonight. I hope your designs are worth my evening,” she said with her lips drawn up into a tight smile. “Am I supposed to thank you for that statement?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. “I don’t need your thanks,” she scoffed and faced Liam again. “So are we still on for tonight?” she asked him, her smile reappearing again. “Yes,

Liam’s POV“Thank you,” Emma responded, moving her eyes away from my gaze.“Listen, I’m sorry about earlier. I am. I was just frustrated, and I took it out on you. That was wrong and I apologize”.She scoffed, then apologized and let out a little laugh.“You’re kidding, right?” she asked, looking me in the eyes again. “The way you spoke to me was so uncalled-for, and now you’re telling me it was because you were frustrated?” she said, sharply.“Emma,” I started, but she put her hand up to stop me from talking, so I put my head down, unable to hold my gaze on her any longer because of how bad I felt.“Honestly, Liam, I thought we were past all that. I thought the relationship we’ve had with each other these last few months has meant something to you but clearly not, especially since you were able to talk to me like that and because of someone who you know doesn’t like me for shit”.I pinched the bridge of my nose and shut my eyes, trying to compose myself.I get that I was wrong to spe

Liam’s POV“Hey, man. Are you home?” I asked Ryan as soon as he picked up the call.“Liam? What’s going on?” he asked.“Are you home? I’m about ten minutes away from your place, but I want to know if I should keep heading over or just reroute myself right now. So, are you home?”“Yeah, I’m home,” he sighed.“Samantha isn’t there, right?” I inquired.“Nah. I dropped her off about an hour ago,” he replied.“Alright, cool. I’ll see you soon,” I said, then hung up the call.Since Anna decided to kick me out, and I wasn’t ready to be in the same space as Emma, I decided to head over to Ryan’s place and spend the night there.I arrived in less than ten minutes, parked my car, and went up to his front door.“Liam, if you break my door I swear I’ll break you,” Ryan threatened from behind the door as I repeatedly pounded on it.“You’re the one who was taking so long to answer,” I replied as he opened the door with a look of annoyance plastered on his face. “Fix your face,” I said as I pushed h

Liam’s POV“What do you mean ‘what trip’?” Ryan asked, turning to face me. “Emma didn’t tell you?”“If she had told me, I wouldn’t be asking you about it, now would I?” I responded, rolling my eyes at the silliness of his question.“Whatever, man,” he scoffed, rolling his eyes as well. “Anyway, Sammy has been really stressed out at work recently, so I opted to take her to Bora Bora for a week, and we plan to leave this Saturday. She asked if we could make it a group thing with you and Emma and I didn’t mind, so she told Emma, then she told me that Emma said she was going to tell you and see if you were up for it”.I sat in silence, baffled.Why wouldn’t Emma tell me about this?Did she not want me there or something?“She really didn’t mention it? That’s crazy. I mean I wanted to be the one to let you in on it, but Sammy said Emma was going to handle it. That’s why I didn’t bother”.“I don’t get why she wouldn’t tell me,” I said, placing the controller on the coffee table in front of

Emma’s POVHe let out a sigh of exasperation and rolled his eyes at me.“Now look who’s rolling their eyes at whom,” I said, pointing a finger at him.“Whatever, Emma,” he said, putting his hands on his face and then running them through his silky, beautiful hair.One thing I admire about Liam is how his hair always manages to look so good. I mean, he could literally wake up from a rough sleep and his hair would still look as good as it did at the start of the day. He could go a whole day with the hair, and it wouldn’t frizz or anything. It just always looks perfect for some reason.“I’m not with Anna right now because she kicked me out of her place. There. I said it. Are you happy now?” he asked, shifting his gaze from my face.It was almost as though he was ashamed of what he had just said.“Why though? Why did she kick you out?”Honestly, I was genuinely curious. I mean, earlier tonight she couldn’t stop cheesing when she was talking to him, and now he’s telling me she kicked him o

Emma’s POV“Alright, look, I get where you’re coming from, but honestly, I want to go, and I want to go with you. We may not be together, but I still really like you as a person and God knows I need a vacation even though I’d still be working half the time. Point is, I just need a change of scenery, so I want us to go,” he responded, then smiled at me. “Can we go?” he asked, his eyes filled with hope that I’d say yes, and of course I did. “Yes we can,” I responded, chuckling lightly. “Don’t you have that murder case though, the one you said involves a public figure or so to work on?” I asked. “Yeah, for sure, but his trial isn’t due for the next few weeks, so I’m good. Besides, I could have my assistant put me through any calls I would need to take then I’d take them from over there”. He responded. “Alright then,” I nodded. “And Anna?” I asked, looking at him with a raised eyebrow. I know it seems as though I am trying to bring up her name all the time, but that’s honestly far fr

Emma’s POV“Emma, we have to go!” Liam yelled from the bottom of the stairs.“I’m coming!” I yelled back in response from my bedroom.After Liam left my room for me to finish up packing, I did most of my packing, then got distracted and eventually slept off.Big mistake, of course, because I still had so much left to do. I woke up by past 4 and started rushing all the packing. At this point, I’m pretty sure I didn’t pack the second pair of one of my shoes, but I didn’t have time to check for that.I believed I would have woken up by 3 because I knew I set an alarm, but that didn’t work, so this is my life now.“Emma!” he yelled again.“My God. Is this how angsty you get when you take trips? Jesus Christ!” I exclaimed as I walked out of my room, pushing my suitcase in front of me.“I’m not angsty,” he huffed. “You’re just slow,” he rolled his eyes.“Screw you, Liam”.“Yeah, yeah, whatever. Do you need help?” he asked, walking up the stairs to meet me.“Does it not look like I do?” I as

Her Unexpected Love Story Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Two
Emma's POVAbout ten minutes after Maria and I got into our feelings with each other, Liam and his father returned to the dining room. Mr. Henderson looked fresh again in his change of clothes, but Liam, on the other hand, looked tired and stressed out. Clearly, the entire situation that had just unfolded in front of him stressed him out, but he didn’t say anything about it for the entire time the lunch went on. From one o’clock or so, till five minutes past three o’clock, the four of us ate lunch and made small conversations about anything else but the elephant in the room. While I found it a bit weird that everyone chose not to say anything about what happened, I obviously couldn’t comment on anything because, at the end of the day, I don’t have much of a say in what’s going on. It’s not like Mr. Henderson is my husband, neither is he my father, so yeah, I couldn’t exactly say much. Once we were done eating and had spent the extra hour at their place for our food to digest, Liam a
Her Unexpected Love Story Chapter One Hundred Fifty-One
Emma’s POVTo cut the whole story short, Liam spoke. A lot. He said far much more than I could even remember, and what’s crazy is he just said these things a few minutes ago. He took his father’s go-ahead for him to say what was on his mind quite literally, and when I say literally, I mean literally. Unexpected to all of us, Liam started addressing issues from far before I came into his life. Issues he’s had with his father, and his mother, from when he was a little boy, actually. There was also him talking about how he felt closer to his grandfather than anyone else before his passing and how his passing really affected him because he knew that he wasn’t ever going to feel that type of pure love again from a father figure, let alone his father. He talked about how he always felt unloved by his parents because, while his father drowned himself in work most of the time, his mother drowned herself in work and societal events and gatherings, so it felt like she was even more absent.

Emma’s POV“Okay,” Liam spoke up. “We’re listening. Why’d you call us over here today?” he asked. “First of all,” Mrs. Henderson cleared her throat. “Your father and I want to wish you both a happy anniversary”. Oh, so she remembered. “You remembered?” I squeaked out. “Are you kidding me, dear?” she asked with a small smile on her lips. “How could I forget? I mean after all the planning that went into that wedding and how invested I was, not just in the wedding but in your hopeful love story. With all that in mind, there was absolutely no way I could forget the day you got married to Liam; fake wedding or not. I was personally very happy that day because I liked you, so nothing was going to make me forget it”. “Oh…” I was speechless. “Thank you, Maria”.At the mention of her name, her smile instantly grew. I knew she hated me calling her Mrs. Henderson and I hated calling her that just as much because I believed we had formed a bond that went beyond me calling her that. So, while
Her Unexpected Love Story Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Nine
Emma’s POVAs we pulled into the driveway of the Henderson house, I could see Liam visibly tense up already. From the way his fingers tightened on the steering wheel, to the way his jaw began to clench, it was clear he wanted to be anywhere but here right now. “Are you good?” I asked him, placing my hand on his that was still gripping the steering wheel even after he had parked the car. At the feel of my hand on his, the hold he had on the steering wheel instantly loosened, and I could thankfully feel the tension ease from his body under my touch. “I’m better now,” he said, mustering up a weak smile, as he held my hand and brought it up to his lips to place a kiss on it. “Thank you”. “Hey,” I rubbed the back of his neck. “Everything’s going to be alright. Besides, I have a feeling that we’re here to receive some good news. Nothing that’s going to spoil either of our moods. Okay?”“Okay,” he nodded, then turned off the car. As he started to open his door, I held him back again for

Emma’s POV“Happy anniversary, baby,” Liam said, cheesing from ear to ear, as he walked into my room with a tray filled with waffles, bacon, eggs, an assortment of fruits, and two glasses of orange juice.“For me?” I smiled as I looked up from my phone. “Yes, ma’am,” he nodded, placing the tray on the nightstand next to me. “Happy anniversary, my love,” he said again, as he bent down to hug me. “I love you,” he pecked my cheek. “Happy anniversary, Liam,” I cooed in response, hugging him tightly, making sure to sniff him in the process. “How early did you wake up for you to have taken a shower and made me breakfast?” I asked, genuinely wondering. “Early enough,” he shrugged his shoulders, hopping into the bed and squeezing closely next to me. “I see that,” I turned my head to face him. “Did you sleep in here with me though? Because I don’t even remember sleeping off. I had planned to come over to yours after taking a bath, but I guess I must have fallen asleep after doing that”. “

Emma’s POV“So, talk to me. What’s going on in that big head of yours?” I joked. “Rude,” he scoffed, feigning a hurt look. “Whatever,” I chuckled, unwrapping my hands from his waist. “This seems like serious talk, so let’s go over to the living room please”. “Alright,” he nodded, pushing himself off the counter that he was resting on and following behind me until we got to the living room and sat comfortably on the couch. “Now,” I moved a bit closer to him. “Talk to me”. “Okay,” he cleared his throat, evidently nervous. “I don’t know if you know… but tomorrow is our first anniversary,” he stated, then averted his gaze from me. “Is that it?” I chuckled. “What do you mean?” he asked with furrowed brows. “I mean, is that all that’s bothering you?”“Yes, it is. Now can you please stop laughing,” he grumbled. “Sorry,” I stifled a laugh. “Listen,” I grabbed hold of his hands. Can I be honest with you?”“Sure,” he nodded, fiddling with my hands. “I know”. “Seriously?” he looked of

Emma’s POVIt had been a long day at the office, but thankfully, it was finally over. As I packed up my sketches that I planned to work on over the weekend, my phone buzzed on the table, but I didn’t pick it up immediately because if it was something important, I’d have assumed the person would call me. After about ten minutes of putting my stuff together, I was done packing up for the day and finally picked up my phone to check the time. The time wasn’t what caught my eye though. It was my notification; specifically, the one that came ten minutes ago which I ignored. It was a notification from my Reminders app, reminding me of what tomorrow is – Liam and I’s first anniversary. Shit. How the hell could I have forgotten? And especially now that Liam and I are actually in true love with each other, and we’ve been so good with each other these past couple of weeks too, fuck!As I walked out of the office, I began brainstorming the excuse I was going to give Liam for forgetting about t
Her Unexpected Love Story Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Five
Liam’s POVWhen Ryan and I were done eating, we immediately began our journey back home. “So, have you decided what you’re going to do yet?”“About what?” I asked, optimistic that the meaning behind that question wasn’t the same as when he asked me this same question ten minutes ago. “About you and Emma, silly,” he scoffed, looking at me like I was dumb. “No, Ryan. I have not decided what to do, just like I hadn’t decided ten minutes ago when you asked me the same damn question,” I said, tightening my fingers on the steering wheel momentarily, before letting out a deep breath in annoyance and releasing my grip on the wheel. “My bad,” he rolled his eyes. “I’m just trying to be helpful,” he murmured. “Then be helpful by suggesting what I should do!” I raised my tone slightly and kissed my teeth. “You being helpful isn’t you asking me the same question repetitively at ten-minute intervals hoping that my response would be different? Helping would be you trying to help me brainstorm o
Her Unexpected Love Story Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Four
Liam’s POVIt had been a week since Emma had made her choice to be with me and for this last week, I’ve probably been the happiest man on this earth. Now, our first anniversary was in three days, and I had no idea what to do. Before we got married, I remember while I was having one of the pre-wedding discussions with my mother, she said she would love for Emma and me to throw a party or a ball or something in that regard to commemorate the milestone, while also making sure we appear as a happily married couple in the public light. However, with how things are going in the family right now, with my dad’s sickness and the rift between Emma and my parents, that party that my mother would have wanted us to have just doesn’t seem probable. And to be honest, I haven’t even had a talk with Emma about this anniversary of ours, so God knows if she actually remembers that it’s even coming up or not. “Liam! Where are you!?” Ryan yelled, pulling me out of my thoughts as he stepped into the apa
