Liam (Book 2) THIRTY TWO
"Lily, my dear, it's so good to see you again," Seema gently pulled me into her embrace and squeezed me as we took our seats at the table."Good to see you too, Nana," I said with much force, greeting my grandparents, whom I hadn't seen since they stayed in town to get to know their long-lost granddaughter."Liam, you are looking handsome every day," Seema giggled and flirted at the same time, and during that time, I clicked my tongue.Handsome, my ass.He's more than handsome. Liam looks like one of those hot-built models in my Dad's magazines that he would leave lying around.Liam, to me, is a perfection of a god.But what ticked me off is how this jerk forgot what I asked yesterday, allowing me to starve myself and let me eat all my secret stash. I overdosed on chocolate. I couldn't even get angry at him with a food coma on sweets I had. I threw up the following day.I received a text from Seema to have breakfast with them at the dining hall, and thinking of eating made me a bit si

The restaurant is known as The Syren, one of the most famous and expensive restaurants on the cruise. The reviews on Yelp told me how good their foods are and that there is an orchestra and a dance floor to enjoy classical music. Not only that, but the inside is as if you entered the Victorian era. They have high ratings. I was curious about what the restaurant looked like.I put on a white dress, large to hide the bump from people with sharp eyes to see in the restaurant, black flats, and a beige cardigan in case the dress wasn't enough coverage, the baby bump is recognized, and I could use the cardigan to hide it as well.Liam was dressed up nicely, wearing a dark blue dress shirt that seemed almost too tight on him and jeans to go with the look. I caught the eyes of plenty of girls around swooning over him, and it pisses me off that I look like his younger sister, thinking she's a princess.We met up with my grandparents as the waiter led us to the table, and as soon we approached,

I woke up with the urge to pee. I stir on the bed, feeling a weight around my stomach, preventing me from leaving. Looking over my shoulder, I found Liam spooning my body on the bed behind me. I didn't realize how we got into this position, but I remembered how I ended up sleeping on the same bed as him. I searched around the room as it was already nighttime. I looked at my phone and saw the time; it was past three.How long did we sleep like this?Not that I'm complaining. Sleeping with Liam on the same bed made me giggle like a puppy love middle schooler.Then I saw the missed calls and unread texts from Effie, Clark, and my parents, all wondering how the first day on the cruise was. I will reply to them tomorrow. As of right now, I can not.As smoothly and slowly as not to try to wake Liam, I carefully removed his arm and went to the bathroom. Once I returned, my eyes adjusted to the dark room, and a hint of moonlight shone on the bed. Liam had his back turn; I went the other way

The rest of the trip I've spent time with Liam has come to an end. I said goodbye to my grandparents, Devin, as he told me he would meet me again. Liam avoids saying goodbye as I lied to them he has been sick for the rest of the week. The trip back home was quiet in some parts, but when we wanted to start, our mouths would open simultaneously, and we just laughed about it. That is when we start a conversation. Effie and Logan were waiting for us at the end of the terminal, but we saw Seth and the mysterious Terry instead of seeing my best friend. Seth slung his arm around Terry's shoulder, but he swung around and had Seth pin, pushing his back and holding one arm as the man whimpered. Liam and I exchanged looks. "Young Master Liam, Miss Lily, welcome back. How was your trip?" Terry asked so formally, which I'm still not used to, while he held Seth. "Hey there little bro, Lily," Seth panted as he smiled like he was enjoying the torture. Sadistic. "Um. Terry, where is Effie? I thou

"Lily, are you sure you want to get through this?"I hissed, placing the heated pot of masala on the counter, and waved my hand to cool the heat off. "Yes, I'm sure, Effie. I realized he needed to know; otherwise, I would regret it once I moved in with Birdie."Effie had a large tablecloth from the storage closet of my house. Clark and Sam are grabbing the portable table to put in the back."I know. But you first decided not to tell him, but after returning from the cruise, you changed your mind. You guys had called it quits.""We didn't call it quits; we simply became friends.""But it isn't weird that you're telling a friend he's the father of your child.""Effie, why are you such a mom about Lily and Liam's relationship status?" Clark popped up, holding the table under his arm. "Let the poor girl have her dinner date with her dream guy.""Just the other day, you were going crazy once I told you about it, and you're backing her up?"I turned off the stove and checked the chicken I h

We talked about school and mentioned Sydney. He didn't want to tell her and felt sorry for ignoring her at school after finding out she was a he. I told him I knew Sydney was a boy from his sister. Allison told me how much he had spent on himself to look like a real woman. I wasn't quite sure why Liam didn't realize it when they were - anyways, Allison said he had an operation below so that Liam couldn't tell the difference. We sat quietly between our conversations, gave a few smiles and chuckles, and sometimes looked at each other, wondering who would talk first.Whenever I wasn't looking at him, keeping my head down, I could feel his eyes on me. I quickly looked and found his majestic blue eyes staring at me. I had to look away to hide my face flaring up. It feels weird yet suitable to chat with Liam like this without him acting so cold towards me because of our uneasy relationship, but I wonder what he will think of me once I tell him the truth.I cleared my throat."Hey, what is g

"Lily! Open the door!"I heard Effie's voice shouting from behind the front door, banging like a manic. Morning came, and I got out of the shower. I opened the door, and Effie came busting in."Lily, are you okay?" She was distraught, holding my shoulders. "You didn't answer my calls or texts. I ran here as fast as I could.""You ran?" I lifted my brow and noticed the droplet of sweat on her forehead and her rough breathing."Yeah, I ran, fucking ran like Usain Bolt to get here," Effie exclaimed, swallowing, catching her breath, and exhaling. "Did something happen last night with Liam?""No," I shook my head and placed the towel around my neck, drying my hair as I sat on the couch. "Why?""Last night, he didn't come home until the next day," Effie gave a sly smile. "I assume you two had a good time, but when I asked him this morning, the bastard ignored me."Liam's voice echoed in my head, asking me to get rid of our child. The child grew inside me. Last night I wasn't in my right mi

At school was hard for me to concentrate. Even though my grades started slipping again, I wasn't going to have that problem anymore and try to focus. "Lily, can I speak with you for a moment?" I was about to leave my locker after putting a few of my textbooks inside to meet up with Effie and Clark at the Walker family's diner and heard Sydney call out to me. I was surprised to have her approach me after telling Liam the truth about who she was, but he did say it was bound to happen. "Are you here to get your revenge on me?" I speak in a harsh monotone. Although I'm okay, I'm not okay. Pissed. And already, I lashed out at people who didn't deserve to be spoken to like that. "Actually, no." She grabs my arm and tugs me into an empty classroom with only the two of us as she asks. "What's wrong with you?" I sat on a desk, rested my elbow on top, and laid my head on my hand, looking straight at the window. "I don't know what you mean?" "Yesterday's club," Sydney manage. "You were

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

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
