Liam's Point of View.
I had just touched down two days ago in Manhattan and I was already chasing Adam Williams so that I could get him to sell the land he inherited to us to develop on it.
Emma insisted that I follow him here so here I was in a club on a Wednesday, "Adam, I was hoping that maybe we can talk?" I inquired hoping he would give me his time and not fucking pay attention to the strippers in front of us.
"Not now man. Have some fun yes?" He shouted through the loud music as I sighed heavily, I felt my phone vibrate and I took out the phone,
"Taylor wants to back out from the deal, Please tell me you have convinced Adam by now to sell" the message from Emma read as I clenched my jaws looking at Adam who was being touched by the ladies who were on his laps.
"Soon" I replied putting back my phone in my pocket.
"Adam… Any chance we can…." I tried to get his attention but it seems like this was not working, I shouldn't have bothered even coming to this club.
"Send the document tomorrow to my secretary. If the deal is above what Rivera is offering the land is yours" He smirked at me as I nodded my head. Is that what he failed to tell me earlier?
'Thanks, man!" I shouted as I sipped from my glass of whiskey.
"No problem. Now get the hell out of here, you are ruining my party" He chortled as I raised my glass to him and made my way out of the club, I went down the stairs and pushed myself through the crowd, women were trying to throw themselves at me but I didn't come here for a woman but I came for work I wanted to leave the glass on the table.
I hurriedly made my way looking around me when a woman bumped into me the glass of whiskey that I was carrying splashed everything on my shirt as I scoffed as I looked at her. She looked confessed as she tried to clean my shirt.
"Oh my god!" I heard her gasp as she looked at me
'I am so sorry" she apologized to me as I grabbed her hand stopping her from touching my shirt she was ruining it.
"Get your hands off me" I calmly said to her, I was trying not to sound rude because god knows I would be bursting right now. I took the glass of whiskey I was drinking and placed it on the counter
"Be careful" I said almost in a whisper when my phone rang, I tried to take out the phone as I looked at the caller. Emma.
I let go of the woman pushing her aside as I made my way out of the club. "Emma?" I picked up when she called the second time.
"Please tell me it's a go" she queried as I sighed heavily.
"Well, I got him to agree only if we can beat Rivera Estates to it then we are good" I explained to her as I made my way to the car that I had rented.
'Yes," She chorused.
"Why do you sound low? Anything wrong?" She questioned me as I went in the car taking off my jacket.
"Well, a woman sipped some whiskey on my suit so how do you think I feel?" I questioned her and she was quiet.
"I will see you soon," I said cutting the call. She knew this was partially her fault because she insisted that I wear my suit on the night that I was flying back.
I drove away going to the airport where I was dropping off the car that I had rented, the jet was already there so I just needed to get in and I was already in the air.
I arrived at the airport and my assistant was there already. "Evening Liam," Vicky greeted me as I approached where she was standing, dressed all casual in jeans and a tank top with boots, her blonde hair tied behind.
"Hi Vicky, Are we ready?" I questioned as we walked to the jet.
"Yes. I have everything here. And your tablet" She excitedly said to me as I nodded my head going up the stairs to get in.
"Good Evening Sir, the hostess greeted me as I reluctantly nodded my head going to my seat
"Anything particular I should look at?" I questioned Vicky who went to sit opposite me as she shook her head.
"You know what? Before we take off let me change into something else" I said to her standing up as I looked around for my bag.
"Here" She stood up from her seat going to get my bag from the chair going to get the bag from the overhead bin.
"Thanks," I said taking it from her as she watched me open the bag, I picked out a t-shirt and started changing there.
I took off my jacket, then tie, and then unbuttoned my shirt throwing it back in the bag. I throw on the long-sleeved black t-shirt and closed the bag again putting it back in the overhead.
"What happened to your suit?" she questioned me as I went to buckle up so that we can finally take off. I heard the captain introduce himself and the copilot as I sat back taking my tablet to start going through all my reports
"This is a good opportunity for you to look at all the appointments for tomorrow." She said to me as she took her diary.
"Can't it wait until tomorrow?" I inquired and she shook her head.
"No. It can't." As she said going through her tablet.
"Okay. Shoot" I said sitting back as the plane finally took off. "Okay, you have a conference call at 7 am with the board of directors it should take no more than two hours. Then at 9:30 am you have an appointment with your therapist. At 11 am you have a site visit to the new hotel. And at 1 pm you have a lunch date with the lady Emma is setting you up with. And also…" She went on to explain to me about my meetings for the day,
"Cant the lunch date be postponed? I have a lot of things to work on and that meeting isn't really helpful" I said to her and she shrugged her shoulders.
"You have pushed it back for two weeks, what's so difficult about just meeting her?" She inquired as I rolled my eyes. I didn't have time to date women at the moment and they have been insisting that I decide to settle down.
"Fine. Anything else?" I asked her as I looked at my table now.
"Yes. You have a golf session with the Chairman at 3 pm" She said as that caught my attention now, how could she expect me to meet my father tomorrow? I just got back in town
"My father? " I asked her and she swallowed hard.
'Well, he wants to meet you over the canceled engagement with Ayanna Torres" She said as I swallowed hard, I never like talking to my father about my personal life.
"Fine. Anything else?" I asked her as she shook her head.
'Emma insists that you take some time off this month though" she added on as I swallowed hard, Emma was my elder sister and I loved her but how she was getting involved in everything this time around was getting on my nerves.
"I will do that when I am ready," I said to her as I started going through all the reports I had on my laptop.
Liam’s Point of view ***Immediately we touched down in Los Angeles after a 6-hour flight that was already tired, we arrived thirty minutes past midnight.The driver dropped off Vicky at her apartment first before driving me home. As he drove down the hill I noticed my 20,000-square feet house there. I opened the window to the car so that I could let the fresh smell of the river hit my nostrils. The house overlooks much of L.A.'s entire Westside, with views that sweep over Will Rogers State Park on their way to the Pacific Ocean.He finally opened over and I got out as I walked to the glass door I punched in my passcode the doors opened.Immediately after I entered the house the motion sensor lights came on. "Good evening Liam" Alexa the AI welcomed me as soon as I walked over to the living room. I was making my way to the bedroom."Evening Alexa, please could you lock the door and turn off the lights?" I asked her, as I went to the bathroom.I made my way into the bedroom and the fi
Emelia’s Point of View.Stepping out of the plane, I sighed heavily the memories and feelings that I feel were draining down on me. I can’t believe that after so many years I was finally back to the place where I had run away from those years ago.I make my way through customs and finally reach the Uber which I had hailed for.“Where to?” the man questions, turning to me as I sighed heavily thinking about my life right now.“1203 Ginger Street, Marilyn land,” I say to him as I look outside the window. The drive home is so fast that in no time the driver is pulling up in front of the mansion.“Here,” I say handing him $100, he wants to give me change but I quickly decline.“Keep it. It’s for you” I smile at him, and he comes out taking the bag from the boot and giving me. I smile vividly giving him an affirmative nod...I sigh heavily as I look at the house, I work towards the front door. Unsure if I should knock or maybe just open the door I debate within myself.I finally open the
Eleanor’s Point of ViewEmelia was back in town? She ran away when the company was going downside and now she is back? I can’t believe that mum would even think for a minute to welcome her back in this house that she ran away from.“So I have been trying to talk to Emma Anderson and we finally managed to set up a date for you and Liam, what do you think?” Mum questioned me as I rolled my eyes looking at her.“Liam Anderson? Mum can you listen to yourself? I am definitely not meeting with him” I grabbed my bags and phone from the counter along the hallway.“Eleanor we both know what will happen if you don’t go through with this> you can’t just shun away from your responsibilities” Mum affirmed as I looked at her shrugging my shoulders.“I am not your only daughter. Pretty sure your other daughter can do it” I said referring to Emelia. Mum scoffed shaking her head.“You will not act like that. We both Know Emelia will never be an option.” She said through gritted teeth.“I need to g
Emelia’s Point of View.A week laterAfter mom asked me to stay a month, I decided I would take time to find some clients here as well/.“Good Morning Maria” I said I walked out, I had a meeting with Mali’s Estates hoping I could find some business there.“Yes. How are you? Did you enjoy your night?” She asked me as I nodded my head faking a smile, she stood back looking at me.‘Are you going out?’ She questioned as I nodded my head.‘Yes, I want to visit Lara before heading Downtown” she said looking at my outfit briefly.‘Okay, But at least have some food before you head out” she said as I nodded my head making my way out of the room.I was about to leave then realized I didn’t have enough money to be using public transport around here. “Maria, is my car still here?” I asked her before she could disappear from the room.‘Your car is still in the car port, I had asked Jackson to look at it a few days before you came. Keys on the hangar “I walked out and grabbed the keys before wal
Emelia’s Point of View.“Please Mia. Your mother needs you just for tomorrow. I promise I will make sure that you don’t get to meet him again. I will get the first flight to look for Eleanor” she pleaded with me, it was the first time I saw my mother being vulnerable like this.I have always known my mother to be an iron lady who doesn’t break down or back out of a fight. I swallowed hard as I shook my head.“I am sorry mu. I don’t think I can do this” I maintained as she looked away from me reluctantly nodding her head.“I love you and I know what this company means to you but I can’t step into someone’s shoes and take over her life. That’s being a fraud” I said to her as she swallowed looking away from me.There was an awkward silence as I stood near her desk waiting for her to say something to me. She was quiet staring out the window like she was helpless and didn’t know what to do.“I am going to go>” I gestured with my hand but she didn’t say anything, I walk out of the room and
Liam’s Point of View “Hey You?” Emma casually said after she got in, my office. “Hey? Manage to set up the meeting with Eleanor?” I questioned her as she nodded her head. “Yes. Done it and you will meet with her this Saturday> I will forward all the details to you” She said as I nodded my head. “Did you manage to find out what kind of person she is?” She asked me as I nodded my head. “Managed to look up a few things about her. Not really the kind of woman I would to be with but can’t change my mind can me?” I said to her monotone as she sighed heavily. “I am sure she is not that bad. I am sure you will like her” She assured me as she stood up from where she was sitting. “Of course” I smirked as she rolled her eyes walking out of the room. I sighed thinking about what I would do to get ready for the meet. Many women don’t want to get married to me because of the rumors surrounding the company and particularly me But it seems to me the Ramirez’s are desperate which is why Emma
Emelia’s Point of View. “Ms. Ramirez, As much as I would love to work with you, I don’t think you have man references I can actually work with.” He said to me as I swallowed hard, just minutes ago he was ready to talk to Eleanor but had no interest with working with me? “Mr. Rodriguez… I can assure you that you won’t be…” I try to convince him but he just checked his watch looking at me. “I am sorry. But I am going to be late for a meeting” He said to me as I nodded my head smiling at myself. “Thank you for your time” I grabbed my things and walked out of the office, How could he waste my time like that? Should I have pretend to be someone else?After leaving the office I decided to go back home, my day was ruined. I needed to sort out my thoughts then go to visit Valerie. I pulled over in the yard making my way inside the house, I stopped in my tracks looking at mum as she stared at the bottle o0f whiskey. When did she start drinking g again? “Mum?” I called out to her as I
Emelia’s Point of View. I turned to Valerie then Liam Anderson who seemed to be in shock when he saw me. I am not a fake person and I was not going to pretend to be someone I am not. That was not the type of life I wanted to live. “I am sorry Val,” I said to her as I held on to my bag heading for the exit. I wanted to run away as fast as my legs could take me but these heels were not helping me at all. “Eleanor!” I heard someone shout my name from behind as I made my way through the crowd. I didn’t want to stop but these drunk people were not helping me at all. I finally managed to make my way out and immediately I was outside I took a breather hoping Liam wasn’t there following me anymore. I squatted on the floor as I buried my face in my hands. I was suddenly feeling hot from all the running. “Shit Mia, what the hell was that?” I heard Val’s voice behind me, she was fuming. I stood up from the ground shaking my head as I looked at her. ‘I can’t do it, Val. I am not my sister
EmeliaI whimpered silently, wiping my tears.I hear keys jingling at the door and I look up as stopped when I heard the door open.“Liam?” I stood up, looking at him as if he wanted to say something, looking at me and I swallowed hard.“Whey. What’s wrong?” He asked, coming closer to me as I shook my head.“Where did you go? I thought you left,” I said in-between sobs “I went to get us something to eat. I just realised that I didn’t get any food,” he said, showing me the bags which he came with.“And what’s this? I thought you left me,” I said to him as he bit his lower lip... “I am sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you, thought maybe it was…”“I am sorry, had to leave,” read the note as he looked at me and he chuckled. ‘It’s not funny. I was so scared that you had left me,” I said to him as he nodded his head coming to me.“I am sorry. I thought I had finished the note to say I went to get breakfast,” he said to me, pulling me in a hug as I hit his chest, pushing him away.“I was scar
**Liam**I pulled off the black dress she was wearing, throwing it to the ground to the ground, exposing her firm breasts. She had no bra under her dress. I smiled at myself and the lace thong that she was wearing was beautiful. I pulled her closer to me as I crushed my lips against hers. I lifted her off the ground as I walked with her to the couch.I unbuckled my trousers, removing them as well as she looked at me. She swallowed hard after she saw my hard-on. I put her in between my legs, and I started kissing her. My kisses trailed down her body, going down to her naval as my hand grabbed her by her waist, pulling her closer to me. I spread her legs open, kissing her thighs as I went down to her naval. I slid my finger between her fold and she moaned softly.Fuck. She’s so wet. I love it.It’s been a long since I have been with her, but I wanted to let her enjoy this moment as well.I forced one finger into her as she moaned. I started to finger her, and she moved her waist. Br
**Emelia” I checked myself in the mirror if I was okay with my outfit. The front of the dress has a scoop neck design with a form fit in the front. No need for a bra... Form-fitting long sleeves. The hem flows down to a floor-length level with Side splits have been placed on the side seams of the garment. The splits go up to the upper thigh level. The back of the dress offers a wonderful contrast. There’s an open-back cut construction of the dress. I smiled at myself, looking at how beautiful I looked.A week ago I spent the entire afternoon chatting with Liam at a rooftop bar talking about us. I had butterfly flutters in my tummy like it was the first time I was meeting him.“What do you think?” I asked mum after I got to the living room. She gasped looking at me.‘You look very beautiful,” She said to me as I pursed my lips together looking at her and then at Amy.“Well, I hope it is enough to seduce him,” I said, and she chuckled, nodding her head “Wait. I have something for y
**Emelia**“Liam?” I asked as he smiled at me, nodding his head.“Hello to you too,” He said to me as I chuckled and swallowed hard looking at him. He smiled at me as he walked over to the desk.“What are you doing here?” I asked him, brushing back my hair as he smiled, nodding his head.“Well, I came to you to look at the new business that’s in town. I am told I might have some competition,” he smirked as I cleared my throat, looking away from him. What was he talking about?“Why are you here?” I asked him, and he sighed, looking at me while reluctantly nodding his head.“Well, I told you,” He said‘Well, you don’t have to worry about it because we are not going after your clients,” I tried to assure him and he nodded his head. “So I hear,” He replied, coming closer to where I was standing as I moved back.“Why are you here?” I asked him again, and he sighed heavily/“I was wondering if you might like to have dinner with me.” He asked me as I furrowed my eyebrows. What was he talkin
**Emelia**Nine months laterI sat back in the back of the courtroom as they brought Eleanor inside. I sighed heavily, watching her sit there in handcuffs. How didn’t someone become so greedy that they were willing to take the life of their mother?How? Inwardly asked me as I looked at her and the interrogation started. “Hey” my mom whispered after she come into the courthouse sitting next to me.“Hi.” I replied as she helped my hand.“How is it going?” She asked me as I shook my head. I clearly didn’t understand what was happening here/ I just wanted to move on already and start afresh away from everyone.“Will please, Ms Ramirez, stand as I pass my sentence?” The judge said as I pursed my lips together.The judge went on sentencing Eleanor as I swallowed hard, looking at her crying over someone who wanted to kill her. I sighed heavily as I nodded my head, watching Eleanor and her reaction.She lowered her head as if she was crying. After the sentencing, mum got up from her chair.“
**Emelia**I looked at Liam and then mum waiting for her to say something to him.“She couldn’t sleep with you. She hated you for falling in love with Emelia,” she said to me as I swallowed hard looking at Emelia, who lowered her head.“I am sorry for what my family has done to you. I swear if I could do things differently, I would,” she said to Liam as I gripped her hand. Liam nodded his head before storming out of the room.“Liam” I shouted as I looked at mum, who lowered her head in shame.“Go” Maria pointed in the direction of the door with her head as I sighed heavily, looking at her, Without wasting time, I got off the chair where I was sitting, going to look for Liam. He walked down the stairs and I followed him behind.“Liam.” I shouted after him, and he didn’t stop,“Liam” I shouted, running as fast as I could. I miss a step before I could step on the last step and I end up twisting my ankle.“Ah> Fuck” I shouted trying to stand up but finally Liam stops in his tracks turni
**Liam**I sighed heavily, sitting back in my chair at home. I had taken time away from work and just rested. The year has been stressful for me.From marrying the wrong sister to being accused of impregnating the other sister and having to fall in love with someone.I stared out the window. I wondered what was it that Emelia always loved about this place. She constantly kept on looking through this window whenever she came to my study.I sat in the chair she sits in and just stared out the top-to-bottom glass. The view of the city and the river looked spectacular from here.The doorbell rang, and I sighed heavily, wondering who could be at the door. I know Emma travelled away for the next few weeks and I don’t get along with other members of my family.I sighed heavily, standing up from my chair as I made my way out of the study room, heading to the door. “Alexa, turn on the lights,” I instructed, walking to the door.I always have the lights off during the day and only turn them on
**Emelia**Two weeks since the incident happened and once again I had to put my life on hold once again because of my family.Packing up everything in the room, I looked around as I sighed heavily, thinking of Mum. she hasn’t woken up and the doctors can’t seem to figure out what the problem is.I finished packing up and looked around as I sighed heavily. After mum's condition improved, I needed to leave. I was going to leave this town and start afresh somewhere else without my family.Without having to worry about what would happen to Eleanor. They charged her with attempted murder, but because they couldn’t prove that she was the one that changed Liam’s medicine, they were not going to add that to her charges.I finished up what I was doing and cleaned u the room before heading out to take a shower. Thank goodness my hair was growing long again.I finished what I was doing a d made my way to find something to wear when my phone kept on ringing.I headed to the kitchen to get it from
**Emelia**‘You are a murderer!” Eleanor shouted at me as I watched her trying to get out of bed waiting for come for my throat as I shook my head. I can’t believe that I was responsible for her losing the baby.Liam looked at me and I lowered my head stepping out of the room, I walked away thinking about what Eleanor just said, I was responsible for her miscarriage that makes me a murderer as well.“Are you okay?” Liam asked me as I swallowed hard, why did I stop here?He tried to touch my shoulder and I quickly removed my and form him, “Yes I am fine” I said to him and he nodded his head looking at me.“You’re not a murderer Emelia” He says to me as I smile looking at him, I was a murderer who killed his baby and he still wanted to convince me otherwise.“I am the one who pushed her, I caused her miscarriage so basically I am a murderer” I said and I felt tears fill the slits of my eyes as I lowered my head.“No. You are not. You are just someone who wanted to protect her mother”
