Emily's POV.

I saw the pain reflect in his eyes, I could barely recognize him, his eyes reflected betrayal, anger, and confusion.

No, this can't be happening. Adrian is the strongest pillar in my life right now, if he pushes me, then my world will crumble. Where do I start to explain to him why I hid my past with Liam from him? He was already furious and with the look in his eyes. I could tell nothing I would say would have any effect on him.

"Mr Liam is your ex-husband?" Adrian mumbled, his voice was barely audible. I could tell that the discovery was taking a toll on him.

"I'm surprised you have lived with her for several years and yet don't know this piece of information; the strange man blurted. "The lady standing beside you was married to Liam for four years before they got divorced, and oh do you know that the kids you keep referring to as yours are actually his?"

    Emily's POV.Without uttering another word to him, I turned around and ran off. I ran all the way to where the car was parked and surprisingly, it was still there."Hardin? You are still here?" I asked. "Yeah, sir Adrian instructed me to stay back and pick you when you are done, he took a cab and left already," he replied. I felt a drop of tear roll down my cheeks. Despite how upset he was, he still has my best interest at heart. Why does someone like him have to go through all this?First it was Elisha, I can't believe I hated her for causing him so much pain, now I have done exactly the same to him, if not more. Slowly, I pulled the car door open and climbed in. Hardin seemed to have caught a whiff of what happened, the look on his face was evident. He looked sad, and never spared me a glance all through the drive home. Once we have driven into the house, I practically jumped down from the car and started running inside, hoping that Adrian will be in, I needed to plead for hi

I tried to get hold of his hands but he swiftly moved back avoiding my hand from touching him."What else do you want from me Emily? Haven't you done enough already?" He groaned, I could sense the frustration in his voice."I'm sorry Adrian, please hear me out," I cried. He scoffed dryly. His gaze on me held nothing but disgust and raging anger. "You really do have a lot of guts Emily," he spat, his gaze piercing into mine. "You look me in the eyes and hurt me so deep without any pinch of guilt.""Adrian....""And don't even give me the shit about not knowing how to tell me what was going on because I gave you every chance to talk to me freely, I made myself the safest person you could talk to just so you wouldn't have to find it difficult talking to me about anything, but what did you do? You took advantage of that and rubbed it on my face."I stared at him with tear

What exactly have I done to deserve this? Have I not been loving enough? Is there something that I am not doing right? It hurts because I truly loved Emily more than I have ever loved another woman.

It hurts more because despite how hard I was trying to shut her out, somehow, I just couldn't and it was infuriating the hell out of me.I should hate her, I should throw her out and cast her away from my life for hurting me so bad, but somehow, all I could think of was her wellbeing, I couldn't

My nose suddenly caught her scent again, this time, my eyes popped open in shock.And to more shock, it was an unknown lady lying on my chest, looking closely, I realized that it was the lady from the club last night.What is she doing on my chest?

    Liam's POV.I paced to and fro the room, anger cursing through me. It hurts so much to see Emily going through so much pain and I can't be there for her. I tried to comfort her but she chased me away, how else am I supposed to be there for her if she doesn't let me? I tried to take my mind off it and get ready for work but who am I kidding? There is no way I can concentrate on anything right now, not when I'm not sure the state she is in right now.How can I even pretend to be okay when the woman that I love with everything in me is probably locked out somewhere, crying herself to stupor. I needed to do something, probably go to the cops or going to the station to make a complain, or send for one of my most active special agents and organize a search party for the kids. Almost immediately, the door flew open and my mother walked in. I had called her yesterday to inform her about the kids kidnap. "Liam, what is going on?" She blurted, hastening her step towards me.

"We don't, and it's not important," she spat, dragging her gaze towards the detective. "What are they here for?""A case of abduction, take them with you," he replied. There was a way he stared at her that was so odd. Suddenly, her words at the bar struck me. "He is supposed to promote me with the others right? I have done more work than those that he promoted, is it because I have refused to give in to his advances?"So this is her boss that she was talking about? Why do I suddenly feel the urge to smack him in the face so hard that he might go blind? Such irritating fellow. Wait? Why am I concerned about her?

    The restaurant was warm, the golden lights casting a cozy glow over the sleek wooden tables. Soft jazz music played in the background, mingling with the murmurs of the other diners, the clinking of silverware against fine china.I sat by the window, stirring my drink absentmindedly as I watched the city move outside. For the first time in what felt like forever, I was alone. No responsibilities pressing on my shoulders, no demands clawing at my time. Just me, a beautifully plated meal, and the illusion of peace.I let out a long sigh, sinking into the plush chair, allowing myself to bask in the moment. Life had been... exhausting. For years, I had been running. Not literally, but emotionally, mentally. Running to fix things, to prove myself, to erase the shadows of the past. And on top of that, I had a daughter now—a beautiful, sweet little girl who meant everything to me. She had Ryan’s piercing eyes, his lips, but my face. Every time I looked at her, it was like seeing pieces of him

Christie, Josh and I were done with highschool and now in our first year in college. And just like every other day, we were laughing about some stupid class project as we made our way down the sidewalk.Suddenly, my phone tucked in my pocket and I quickly fetched it from my pocket, I didn't recognize the number, but it was an unknown area code, and something about it made my stomach drop.“Hold on, guys,” I said to Christie and Josh before picking the call “Hello?” “Is this Aria Liam's?” a calm voice on the other end asked.“Yes,” I replied, getting confused now. “This is city hall hospital. We need you to come in immediately. Your presence is required.”My mind raced. The urgency in the voice sent a chill down my spine. “What happened? Is everything okay?”“I’m afraid I can’t give you any details over the phone,” she said. “But it’s

    Aria's POV.I had never been so relieved to return to school. Two weeks off, two long weeks of hiding away in my room, avoiding the pitying stares from neighbors, and the whispers of strangers who thought they knew everything. But today, today I was going back. I wasn’t going alone either. My parents were walking beside me, I didn’t know exactly what they had planned, but I knew they were going to do something about the scandal. Something that would either make everything better.. or make it worse.I adjusted the strap of my bag, glancing at my parents as we walked through the front gate of the school. Mom was standing tall, shoulders squared, walking with a determined pace. Dad, on the other hand, had his hands jammed deep into his pockets. They looked like the same parents I had known my whole life, though today felt different. They were on a mission.The moment we stepped onto school grounds, I could feel the tension. The eyes. People were still talking about us.. about the scanda

    Aria's POV.The moment I broke the hug, a strange sensation crawled through my body. It wasn’t pain, but something that felt like an overwhelming wave, an unsettling force pulling at my insides. My stomach twisted, and a sudden wave of nausea surged up through my chest, catching me off guard. My vision blurred, and I swayed, struggling to keep myself upright. I gripped the edge of the chair, my fingers digging into the hard surface in an attempt to ground myself. But her body wasn’t listening to me. It felt like it had betrayed me, as if it had no control of its own."Hey, Aria, what's wrong?" I heard distant voices but I couldn't make out who they belonged to.My head spun, the room seeming to tilt at an impossible angle. The world around me began to dissolve, the sounds muffled as if underwater. I gasped for air, trying to steady myself, but it was as though the air itself had become thick, too heavy for me to breathe. My chest tightened, and my pulse raced, the noise of my heartbea

    Aria's POV.The days dragged on, each one stretching endlessly without Ryan. The grief was a living thing, wrapping around me, suffocating me. I missed him in ways that words could never capture. It wasn’t just his presence; it was the way he made me feel, the way he could make even the worst moments bearable. Now, everything was unbearable.I hadn’t left my room much, only stepping out when my body physically forced me to. I barely ate. I barely slept. When I did sleep, it was restless, haunted by dreams of Ryan... his voice, his touch, his warmth. Only to wake up to the cruel reality that he was gone.Christie and Josh had been my lifeline, visiting almost daily. They would knock, call my name softly, and even if I didn’t answer, they would sit outside my door for hours, talking about everything and nothing at all. I didn’t deserve them, but I needed them. Even if I could barely acknowledge it.It was a week of my suspension today, after spending hours lying in bed, staring blankly

    Ryan's POV.It had been days. Days since Ryan had disappeared from my life, leaving nothing but an empty hole where my heart used to be. I could still feel the echoes of his presence, haunting the corners of the house, in the space where his laughter used to ring, in the quiet that used to be filled with his voice. But now, everything felt hollow. I hadn’t heard from him since that video, that live confession. And with every passing moment, the silence grew louder, consuming me more and more until I couldn’t tell where I ended and the emptiness began.I sat on the floor in the far corner of my room, my knees drawn up to my chest, arms wrapped tightly around them as if I could protect myself from the overwhelming emptiness that consumed me. The walls felt like they were closing in. The quiet, the stillness, it suffocated me. My mind wouldn’t let me escape the thoughts of him. Of what he said. Of what he did. Of what he could have done to escape this nightmare.My heart kept trying to

    Aria's POV.I didn’t think. I just ran.My feet slammed against the cold floor of the hallway as I hurtled down the stairs, my heart racing, pounding in chaotic rhythm. It was as though my entire body was trying to escape the terror and helplessness that consumed me, trying to outrun the suffocating fear that had taken over my mind. My thoughts were a blur, a haze of desperate urgency, but they all had one single, overpowering focus: Ryan.I had to find him. I had to stop him.I absolutely don't know where he is or where to find him but one thing was sure, I will get him back.The words from his confession echoed in my head, over and over again: “I’m leaving. I’ll disappear.”No. He couldn’t. He couldn’t just leave me. Not after everything. Not after the bond we shared, the love, the years of quiet, stolen moments that had built up between us. Ryan was my everything. He was my protector, my constant, the one person who had never looked at me with judgment, never turned his back on me,

The silence in the house was unnerving, oppressive, like the air itself had thickened. The usual heated house filled with laughter and happiness was absent since the day Ryan and I got outed, but today's emptiness felt different. It was as if the whole house had been drained of sound, leaving behind only an unsettling stillness.My eyes darted nervously over the hallway as I reached Ryan’s door. My hand trembled slightly as I pushed it open, the door creaked softly and I stepped inside, expecting to find him lounging on the bed, headphones in, oblivious to the world as he has been doing since the whole scandal. But when I looked around, my stomach sank.His room was completely… empty.The bed was made finely as though no one has laid on it for a while, the edges of the blanket smooth. The chair at h
