Liam (Book 2) SIXTEEN
Birdie closed the door behind us as I felt the warm feeling of this house. It has been a long time since we visited, and I could never forget. "So, Lily, do you have a boyfriend yet?"My body flinched at her question. "Boyfriend? I don't have time for a boyfriend," I laughed nervously."Really? You are grown now, eighteen, practically a young adult. Don't tell me you don't have someone in mind." Birdie frowned. "Is your daddy not letting you date? If he is, then I'll give him a good lecture about-""No!" I grabbed her arm, stopping her. I looked down, squeezed my eyes shut, took a deep breath, and lifted my head. "No, my dads are okay with me dating it just...not right now since it's my senior year, and I have lots of things to do, like looking for a good college."Birdie made a face and studied me for a whole minute. I felt so uncomfortable with her stare that I was sweating, then sighed. She smiled as she reached for my cheek and patted it softly. "I understand. You are responsible

"I am asking, who is the father of who's baby?"I felt the coldness in her voice when Birdie asked. I averted my eyes back to my parents, who were looking at each other, thinking of a response without being suspicious."I came back because I left my glasses only to hear this interesting conversation," Birdie crossed her arms. "I would like to know who are you talking about?"I swallowed hard. Sweat broke loose as I felt it slide from my head to my cheek. What should I do? What will my parents say? Will they lie? Will they tell the truth about the baby?I'm not ready; we weren't prepared for this — my breath in rapid beats and shallow. I can feel my pulse pounding in my temples. It's a relief I'm sitting on the chair because my heels and legs are shaking. I'm afraid I'll trip. Birdie was waiting for any of us to answer her."Oh! Baby? Yes, we were talking about a friend," Dad burst out unexpectedly. Daddy looked at her with wide eyes."A friend?" Birdie arches a brow."Yes, a friend."

We stopped at the restaurant called Saucy's Mama Pizzeria. It's been a long time since the family went here for lunch or dinner. Once we stepped foot inside the owner, Pamela recognized my Dad as they reminisced about the time we came by every family trip, and the first thing we went to was Saucy's Mama Pizzeria.Pamela spotted me and couldn't believe how I had grown so much; she complimented my beauty and asked if I had a boyfriend yet. She also mentioned me looking so glow it almost made me and my dads choke on air as we cleared our throats. Birdie stared at us suspiciously, and Dad quickly changed the atmosphere by asking Pamela about our table.Once seated, both of my dads ordered their usual dish, grand ordered hers, and as for me, I decided to try a different meal. We got our drinks, then minutes later, we had our food. Daddy had rolled lasagna mix with manicotti shells stuffed with cheese ricotta mix, pepperoni, and Italian sausage. Dad loves his order, just a garden salad with

Day two at Big Bear, staying at Grandma Birdie's place. It's a Thanksgiving morning, and I decided to practice my lines for a while before we head out for another family outing before dinner at Mark's place. I brought all my homework on this trip because I can't be left behind even though I'm on break for a week. It sucks, but that is what I get for being a good girl. I was all dressed up to go out.I heard a chime from my phone while it was charging. I rushed to it, placed the script down, and saw a text from Clark. He would be going home soon from his early holiday and asked where I was; I replied, stating that I was at Big Bear with the family. He told me that he couldn't reach Effie, then I told him that she stayed with her family at Morongo Casino for Seth's birthday and added that it probably has low reception.I laughed when Clark sent a sad emoji indicating he felt left out. I texted him back, ranting about him leaving us on his early holiday. It must be nice to be rich. I sai

Once again, we answered at the same time. We glanced at each other and faced the other way as my face heated up."There they go again," Seth sighed, tutted, and groaned. "They replied at the same time and still deny it.""Shut up! Seth," Liam and I said in unison."See what I mean," Seth laughed, making Liam and I snarl at him."Well, chipmunk, is he, or is he not your boyfriend?" Mark asked, and Jordan stepped in before I could deny it again."And who are you to ask?""And who are you calling chipmunk?" Liam's body was tense, and he didn't like the idea of another man calling him a nickname. I could feel my face heating. There was a tiny bit of concern from Liam the way he had his back in front of me, using it as a shield.I felt touched."Hey, man, I don't want any trouble," Mark flung his hands up. "I call her chipmunk because that is what I called her when she was just a little girl.""Lily, you know this guy?" Athena asked.I sighed and nodded, then stepped in between Liam, who h

I had never met anyone as lovely as Hannah; she was so sweet and easygoing. All she did was smile throughout my conversation as we talked about Mark and his embarrassing moments. When Mark heard, his face was red, and he demanded us to stop, but it was payback for him teasing me earlier at the mall. It left him whining like a child. I don't know anyone woman who can put up with Mark's childish behavior. Even if he's serious about snowboarding, Mark is different from the board. But Hannah can handle it. That's what she loves about him. Hank "Grizzly" DeVine has decorated his home to give that homey atmosphere. Hank gave Papa a big bear hug, just like the name he was given. Hank stood tall as Papa but much more prominent and muscular with those guns. He could bend a metal pipe, and I've seen it happen. This guy was like a real grizzly bear. Once he took one look at me, his expression turned weird, his cheeks flushed, with that same genetically goofy face, and he rushed to lift me like

"Hey!"An arm wrapped around my waist tugged me back as we both fell to the ground."Damn it, Lily, are you trying to kill yourself." When I realized who it was. I hurried off Liam when I fell on him, then backed away to the fence again until he grabbed my arm back and pulled me close to his chest. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack? Stupid girl."I ignored his insult and listened to how my heart rate was thumping fast against my chest. It has been so long since I've been this close to Liam, and I wanted time to stop for me just for a few more minutes. But I didn't want to make things more awkward than it already is so, so I pushed away from him, avoiding his eyes."I wasn't going to kill myself," I told him."Well, it looked like you were," Liam stuck his hands into his jeans pockets. "Why are you not inside?""I wanted fresh air," He said without looking away. "How about you? Shouldn't you be hanging out with what's his face, Lance?""It's Grant," I told him, and I could hea

It has been a while since I was inside Mark's room. When I was little, I would have wanted to go snowboarding and for him to tutor me was Mark, and as a heavy sleeper, it would take more than thirty minutes to wake his ass up.I looked around and saw nothing had changed, making me reminisce.Mark came back with a different shirt as he closed the door.I felt his stare on me, giving me an uneasy feeling that it has to do something.I swallowed hard.Mark pulled his chair from the desk and sat beside me as I sat on his bed. "Lily, is there something you want to tell me?"Was it a question or a command? I couldn't tell. But the sound of his tone sounded severe. If he knew about the baby, I'm so screwed.I exhaled sharply and then swallowed. "Did Hannah tell you-""Yes, Hannah told me," his voice bellowed as he stood up, almost frightening me. "Lily, when were you going to tell me? You told Hannah and not me!""I'm sorry, but Hannah knew even if I didn't tell her." I lowered my eyes away

Liam (Book 2) EPILOGUE
I open the door after the first ring and pull up a curve smile wide enough to greet Grandma Birdie standing at the doorstep. "Oh, my little Lily," Grandma Birdie squeezed my face and kissed the side of my face. "After giving birth, you became more beautiful than ever." "Oh, stop it, Grandma," I blush. "Congratulations on graduating high school. Here for you and Effie," she hands me a gift bag. "It's something you both desperately need." "What is it?" "Open it later," she winks and walks towards the family room as she yells. "Wayne, Nicky, oh, and my baby boy Ramsey. Come to Gram Gram." I watch her get Ramsey from Dad and shower him with love. I pull up a grin before Effie comes to my side. "Oh, Birdie is here." "Yeah." Looking down at the bag. "So, what did she get you?" Effie asks, looking over my shoulder. "Us," I correct her. "Me too? Well, can I see?" "I was planning on opening it when my grandma or anybody isn't around," I say. "I got an uneasy feeling the gift won't b

Liam and I couldn't wait.He drove fast with the family's CRV and took us to his house. We were frantic that his brothers, Effie, or the others would notice, but we didn't care. I'm worried about leaving Ramsey with his grandparents, especially Seema. Rahul reassured me that she would not harm my child. If she does, I would have to bitch slap her. Liam abruptly stops on the side, never caring to park in the driveway. He got out first, as I already unhook the seatbelt. He opened my door and pulled me out as he closed the door. Liam locks the car while he holds my hand, unlocking the front door, he checks around the house to see if anybody is home as if we are about to make a heist, and when it is all clear, we run upstairs into his room.Liam shut the door and locked it. While he did that, I was already removing my clothes, and as soon as I pulled my shirt. Liam cups the fabric of my bra on my breast and kisses my neck.I moan from his touch—the urge and hunger I wanted so badly from

"Thank you for coming, Lily. After that fiasco at the supermarket, you wouldn't want to see me again.""I didn't have a choice since you said my great-grandfather is here to see me."She seems close the door as I'm inside her home. I had Liam drive me here before he went with the guys and picked me up later. Seema texted me last night and told me her dad, my great-grandfather, is flying here to L. A and wanted to see me.I don't know why since I'm not close to him, but my mother would have wanted me to meet him. At first, I didn't want to because of Seema, but knowing and meeting."You didn't bring you...son," she says as if Ramsey is a parasite. I clench my hands, and so help me want to slap her. I refrain and posture myself."He is with his father, bonding," I tell her with a sour face. "I will ask Liam to bring him here to meet his great-great-grandfather. But he will contract some disease if he sees you."Seema gasps shockingly. "How dare you talk like that? I would have slapped y

I hum a lullaby while I rock Ramsey to sleep. The boys are outside while the girls are inside binge-watching Grey's Anatomy.Soft knocks on the door as Effie enters the nursery, shuts the door and tiptoes her way to the couch across from me."Zara asleep?"She nods. "After her bottle, she fell asleep. Playing with her uncle wore her out.""I never notice how big she is getting." I chuckle, looking down at my sleeping Prince. "The first time I saw her, she was tiny.""Zara is a big eater."We both laugh but stop when Ramsey stirs in his sleep. I rise from the rocking chair and place my son in his crib. I did not want to leave his side. Leaving him and being apart from my son makes a part of my soul crumble. Is this what being a mom feels like? Is this how my mother felt when she left me?"Grandpa told me everything," Effie says. "To think that the man who destroyed Liam's adolescence is your father. Your real father."A sense of pity filled in Effie's words as she mentioned, 'My fathe

"Are you going to be okay, Lily-pad?"I only smile. "I'll be fine, Dad. Liam, Effie, and the gang are coming for a sleepover.""It's weird that boys will be joining a slumber party.""Don't worry," I assure him. "Some of us are studying for finals while the rest will hang out with the babies."Dad pouts while Papa passes by with luggage.I turn Dad's body around and push him out the door towards the truck. "You don't want to wait another day because I'm going home alone.""But-""No buts, you and Papa bought the tickets ahead of time, and you finally get to watch Mariah Carey in Vegas.""But, babykins-" Dad's pouting level up."Papa, a little help here."Papa Wayne closed the trunk and carried Dad like a princess putting him inside the car, putting on the seatbelt, and shutting the door."Thanks, Papa," I beam and kissed the big man.He pats my head and smiles. "You guys behave. No partying and no alcohol. Especially alcohol. Who knows what you guys will be doing drunk.""Yes, Daddy."

Odin nod to Mr. Nobile and then walks inside the interrogation room. The guard standing outside the room closes the door. I count four more police guards standing in each corner of the room.We sat down and sat there. None of us said a word to each other. Devin, looking like a homeless guy, just kept staring at us. He scoffs, sniffles, then coughs a laugh once he lands his eyes on Odin."It's been a long time, Odin," Devin says with a malicious grin.Odin slams his hand on the table and rises, pointing the finger at Devin. "I should have killed you when I had the chance."I try to calm him down by putting him back on his chair. For an old man, he's strong."But you didn't, did you?" Devin taunts Odin. "You couldn't kill your brother, can you?"My eyes shot wide open, looking at Devin to Odin. "Brother?""You are no brother of mine.""Of course," Devin lean back against his chair, still grinning. "We grew up in the same neighborhood. Well, you had a family, and I didn't. I stayed in th
Liam (Book 2) SIXTY FOUR
After two days of being discharged from the hospital, I was instructed to stay home for a few more days. I can't go to school yet because I just recovered from being shot and had been cut open to give birth to my baby boy, except I can attend graduation. I had homework delivered to my house from either Liam, Effie, or Clark. Sometimes Logan and the brothers. Even Jordan, personally.They just wanted to make sure Ramsey and I were okay. Liam especially. He debated whether to stay home and take care of me. But rumors of the birth of my son spread at school. They already knew I was pregnant, and Liam was the father. The students are just all talking.My parents went out, so it's just me in the house with my baby. I stand before my mirror and lift my shirt to reveal the surgical line cut open to bring my son out. It's healing slowly, and it doesn't hurt. I trace my finger over the line, just staring at myself. I was on the brink of death after experiencing such a horrible event with Devin
Liam (Book 2) SIXTY THREE
"So, what happened to Devin?" I ask Liam, who is on his lap, fast-moving his fingers on the keyboard. Studying in a hospital room can be peaceful, but it sucks I could get out just yet.I forgot about asking about Devin but at the same time. I didn't care. However, I wonder what happened to him once he made a hit-and-run scheme. This topic has been bothering me since Liam came to visit.Liam looks up. "The coast guard captured him before he crossed to Mexico."That's a relief."So, he's in prison.""Odin and his lawyers gave the court all the evidence on Devin. Charged with kidnapping, charged with rape with a minor, charged with human trafficking, charged with the possession of drugs, charged with attempted murder, and the list goes on and on. He has a long list of charges that will make him stay in prison till the day he dies." He then looks at me then furrows his brows. "Why are you asking about him?"I look down at the study guide for math with a problem that is half-solved. "Liam

It felt like I had died and been brought back to life for a long time. God didn't want me to leave this world just yet. After my conscience met my mother for the first time, I felt a dream. Some supernatural shit like when a hero failed to save the world, they would meet someone who never wants them to give up and gives a second chance.It seemed like forever, but I finally opened my eyes. It was a blur until I focused on the bright light above me. Was this the light that brought me back?I hear soft snores beside me, and my hand cupped into something warm and familiar. Slightly turn my head and lift the corner of my lips into a somewhat weak grin.With his head on the side of the bed, Liam uses his arm as a pillow while the other holds my hand. He is sleeping soundly; I don't want to wake him. My whole body is stiff and in pain. I look up and see a female nurse enter the room. We made eye contact, and quickly shaking my head, I eyed my sleeping prince.She understood my gesture and m
