Lovers & Liars Chapter Thirty Four: Her safety comes first
*Vivienne*“Help me, Vivi,” I heard her sob. “Please help me.”And my heart plummeted, panic gripping me tight. I straightened in my seat, my fingers tightening around my phone. “Where are you?” I managed to sputter, my voice barely above a whisper. Each breath felt heavy, as if I were drawing in lead instead of air.“I... I don’t know... please...” Her cries echoed, raw and desperate, twisting my gut into knots. I clenched the phone tighter, feeling her fear seep through the receiver, a palpable thing that gripped me like a vice.I felt my surroundings tilting, the air thickening as dread washed over me. My mind raced, conjuring images of accidents, dark alleys, and shattered glass.I quickly squeezed my eyes shut as images of her lying in a pool of her own blood tried to push its way to the center of my mind. No, she is fine. She will be. “Rosa, I need you to calm down a bit for me,” I forced out even as I felt my chest constricting making it hard for me to breath. “Please.”Slow

*Vivienne*Holding my breath and hoping it wasn't Liam. I opened the message but blood slowly drained away from my face as I stared about it.A photo of me coming out of the alley with Rosa was staring back at me with the small caption:‘You can run all you want but you can't hide. I'm always two steps ahead, Xabrina.’In the past few days, I had totally forgotten about my stalker as I had been preoccupied with thoughts of Liam. I really don't know if that's a good sign or not. Another beep from my phone had me jumping slightly in my seat, my heart taking on an irregular beat. I looked down at the next text message:“You forgot about me, didn't you? Even went into hiding cause your apartment has been empty all this while.”My hand flew to my chest as I pressed down it with my palm, my breathing quickened slightly in line with my pulse picking up pace as well.“Are you not getting down?” Eric's voice jolted me back to the present as my wide gaze shifted to where he stood, holding the

*Vivienne*“Where is she?!” he shouted, his voice laced with an edge that made the hairs on my neck stand up. I instinctively stood and moved to stand between him and her, my heart pounding. “How did you get in here?” I muttered. How did he even find us so fast?I snuck a glance towards the door, my brow furrowing when I noticed that Eric wasn't coming. “Get out,” I said firmly, my voice steady despite the adrenaline surging through me. “She doesn’t want to see you.”He ignored me as his gaze slowly locked onto her, a predatory glint in his eyes. “Baby, come on. You know I didn’t mean it,” he said, his tone shifting to a sickly sweet coaxing. “Just come home. Let’s talk this out. I miss you.”Like hell, this jerk was trying to manipulate her into staying?Her expression faltered, and I could see the conflict swirling in her eyes. “No, don’t—” I started, but he cut me off, stepping closer, invading our space. I quickly grabbed Rosa's arm and moved her to the other end of the room. “

*Liam*FEW HOURS AGO “What do you mean Vivienne went missing?” I thundered as I stormed into the underground room. Julian stood to his feet on sighting me and dug his fingers into his hair, a deep sigh escaping his lips. “The GPS tracker and her phone simultaneously went off at the same time,” he explained. “And we are unable to get a hold on Eric too.”I walked past him and looked at the screens. “Where was their last location?” I asked him.“An alley located in a street downtown,” he answered.An alley?I braced my hands on the table, my fingers bunching into fists. Who could have taken her and why? My mind raced with different possible people that could have done this. Oliver? His question about Vivienne crossed my mind and I shot up straight, my brows furrowing. “Can I see the route that Oliver took before coming over to the charity run?” I asked, turning to Julian. He nodded and swung into action, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he pulled up a special mapping app.

*Vivienne*He is angry with me. He looks like he is angry with me. Pressing my lips into a thin line, I sneaked a quick glance at him seated across from me, his gaze focused outside the car window. My eyes fell to the hard set of his jaw and yup… looks quite angry if you ask me. I adjusted in my seat and cleared my throat. “Have you heard anything from the hospital that Eric and his sister were taken to?” I started, trying everything to get rid of the awkward air between us. His head swiveled in my direction, his eyes locking with mine. “Yes, they underwent surgery an hour ago,” he answered and returned his gaze back to the window. “I will pay for the surgery,” I offered with a sense of guilt. “You don't have to,” he retorted, his tone clipped. “The bill has already been paid for.”I clamped my mouth shut, my teeth digging into my lower lip. “I just wanted to pay for the damages that I have caused,” I mumbled to myself, my fingers tightly knotted together. I don't think I have

*Vivienne*He went completely rigid when I kissed him and alarm bells went off in my head. God damnit, Vivi! What was I thinking?With embarrassment consuming my inner self, I pulled away and firmly pressed my lips together. “I'm so sorry about that,” I apologized. “I just wanted to…”The words were snatched out of my mouth when Liam just cradled my face and pulled me back into the kiss. This time around, I moaned without restraint as he molded his soft mouth to mine, exploring the sensual contours of my lips. He snaked his hand around my waist and used it to pull me onto his lap. I leaned into him, my arms sliding up his chest to wrap around his neck as I gently rocked my hips against his pelvis. Liam groaned deep in his throat and slowly sank his fingers into the thick mass of my hair while his other free hand found its way to my throat. He opened his mouth over mine, urging my lips to part and the moment they did, he plunged his tongue inside my mouth. A broken moan escaped my

*Vivienne*As I slowly surfaced from the depths of sleep, the soft rustling of fabric was what gradually pulled me from my dreams. My senses stirred, and I blinked against the gentle morning light flooding the room.A small smile pulled at my lips as delicious memories from last night drifted lazily through my mind. I recalled waiting for Liam but later ended up falling asleep before he could get back. He must have carried me to his room because I was currently lying in his bed. I turned to his side of the bed and then frowned when I noticed it was empty. I reached out and touched his pillow which was now cold. He must have either gone out early or he didn't sleep here at all. I sighed and sat up, the blanket slowly slid down to my exposed cleavage which only made me aware that I was still naked. “Good morning,” an unfamiliar voice said. I yelped and jolted upright, my heart racing. My eyes widened as they landed on an older woman moving about the room. Her silver hair was neatly

*Vivienne*My heart is racing, each thud reverberating in my chest, drowning out the ambient sounds of the medical machines and the soft murmur of conversations playing out around me. It has been a long time since I last heard from this stalker. It had been almost as if he had forgotten about me. But I guess not. He was there at the guesthouse. He had seen me. Just then, an insistent vibration in my pocket jolted me back to the present. I took out my phone and stared at the anonymous number flashing on my screen. My breath quickened, shallow and rapid, as if the very act of inhaling could pull me deeper into this nightmare. I blinked repeatedly as I tried to focus on the faces around me, but their expressions kept blurring into a wash of confusion and concern. I felt detached, as if I was watching from a distance, a ghost in my own life.A hand touched my shoulder and I jumped, a small squeak escaping my lips. Nick flinched away from me and threw his hands up in the air. “Hey, i

Lovers & Liars Chapter Sixty: Captive of regret
*Vivienne*“It’s been a long time, hasn’t it, Ina?” he said, his tone unsettlingly calm and steady. That was the second thing that the man responsible for upsetting my entire life said to me, about eight years later. Almost immediately resentment, anger, sorrow and a whole lot more emotions rolled through me systemically, each one trying to override the other. He moved to my back and I could feel him sniffing my hair. His own smell invaded my nostrils which instantly made the contents in my belly revolt. It was him alright. Lemon, leather and the smell of cigarettes clinging to his clothes. “I have missed you so much, Ina,” he continued with a husky voice, his strong alcoholic breath fanning my neck. I clenched my jaw, my fists clenching behind me, nails biting into palms. Fuck! I still can't see a damn thing. And my ankles were also starting to hurt like a bitch. Whoever tied me up did a great fucking job.“Your smell.” he lifted the side of my hair and took another sniff of
Lovers & Liars Chapter Fifty Nine: In the flesh
*Vivienne*As I settled into the plush leather seat of the car, I glanced sideways at Eric. He looked a bit pale, the remnants of his recent hospital stay evident in the way he held himself. I suddenly felt guilty about not visiting him throughout his stay at the hospital. I only recalled hearing that the stab had gone deep and that he would be needing critical surgery and aftercare. The car hummed softly as we glided through the late morning streets, the sun casting long shadows across the asphalt. The city buzzed around us, a symphony of honking horns and distant chatter.“Feeling better?” I asked, trying to lighten the mood. Eric offered a faint smile, his eyes focused on the road ahead. “Yeah, just a bit sore. But I’ll be back to normal soon.”I swallowed hard, feeling nerves overtaking my body. “I'm so sorry I didn't drop by to visit the entire time you were at the hospital,” I finally whispered, hoping that my sincerity was passed across to him. “You don't have to apologize
Lovers & Liars Chapter Fifty Eight: A hasty plan
*Liam*“Why didn't you tell Ms. Reynolds about the paparazzi camping out in front of the hotel,” Ryder threw out as soon as the car pulled out from the parking lot. I sighed and reclined even more on the car seat. “Well, I didn't want to bother her with such irrelevant things,” I answered. “Irrelevant things?” Ryder scoffed. “Because of the scene you caused yesterday, the whole internet has been buzzing off with the firm speculations that you two are dating. Again.”I closed my eyes. “You make it sound like it would be a bad thing if we were actually dating.”“Aren't you?”My eyes popped open and I slowly turned my head to gaze at Ryder. “No, we are not,” I told him. “At least not yet.”“Well, guess who's not going to believe you?” I watched with a quizzical expression on my face as he pulled up an article on his tab and practically shoved it at my face. “What the fuck is that?” I muttered. “A super viral article of you rushing up to help Ms. Reynolds and finally leading her away
Lovers & Liars Chapter Fifty Seven: The last encounter
*Vivienne*Never in my life did I imagine that I would be telling my story to another person… more less, a man.It wasn't even about the heartache and guilt that I normally feel whenever I thought about the series of events that lead up to the tragedy but bringing myself to talk openly about it. But here I was, naked with my boobs squished up against Liam's hot body as I told him exactly what happened. I was yet to understand the reason why I told him something that I had sworn never to tell anyone, but I later came to the conclusion that I tend to be irrational whenever I was with him. But deep down inside me, I knew that I wanted to tell him… I wanted to be the first person that he hears the story from. Releasing another deep agonizing breath, I raised my head from his chest and stared at him. “So, you see the reason why I can't bring myself to trust anyone? I can't even trust myself… and that's just the real me.”Liam just gazed at me without a word, his green eyes flickering a
Lovers & Liars Chapter Fifty Six: Unmasking the pain
*Vivienne*“No,” he said, cutting me off. “You are actually the first woman I'm doing this for.”I felt a squeeze in my heart at his words and I slowly threw my head to the side, unable to look him in the eye. The cleaning movement at my lower body subsided and then stopped altogether. I felt him reaching for my face even before his cold hands grasped my chin and turned my head back to him. “Why? You don't believe me?” he asked softly as stared into my eyes. Fuck! Those eyes look like they are piercing into my soul. I quickly ran my tongue over my dry lips. “No, I—” I paused and counted to five in my head. “No, I do believe you,” I added. Liam's gaze remained rooted on my face and then he chuckled. “You are really a bad liar, Angel eyes,” he said, his voice light with humor. He brushed his thumb across my left eyebrow. “Your left eye twitches like crazy whenever you're lying. I've told you before, right?”How did he even manage to pick up on that?Embarrassed at being caught at m
Lovers & Liars Chapter Fifty Five: Afterglow
*Vivienne*Remember when I said we were far from being done tonight? Yup… turns out I couldn't have been more right. Cause tell me why almost an hour later, we are still going at it like some dog in heat. And hey, it's not that I'm complaining or anything but if this man doesn't stop pounding my pussy any minute from now, I might actually pass out from excessive stimulation and pleasure. It was as if he was determined to make sure that I indeed pass out. “F—fuck, Liam,” I moaned as I felt his cock leaving my pussy. The bedsheets were clenched tightly in my hands, my teeth digging into my lower lip and almost drawing blood. I could feel him everywhere— my breasts, stomach, between my thighs and deep in my pussy. His taste was in my mouth. His scent was in my nostrils. His breathing, as rough and ragged as mine, resonated in my ears. I was so intimately aware of him. He thrusts back into my pussy at his languid pace and I could feel myself combusting at his fingertips. The smell
Lovers & Liars Chapter Fifty Four: Embers of pleasure
*Vivienne*Everything had happened at the speed of light that it almost gave me whiplash. From trying to push Liam away, to bickering away like some lovers and then it somehow wants to end with me naked and writhing underneath him. Everything had been going so well, Liam sure does know his way around a woman's body. He knows exactly what to do or touch to make you come undone. At least that was until he brushed his fingers across my scar and I had tensed. It's actually kind of crazy how I had almost forgotten that it was there in the first place. “Just pretend it's not there,” I blurted out, feeling desperate to take his attention away from there. I knew that Liam had seen me undressed before and he had also seen the ugly looking scar but it still doesn't erase the fact that I was afraid that he might find it upsetting or off-putting.The scar wasn't exactly what you would call a neat work. Back then, I was too busy trying to cut down on money that the hospital meant nothing to m
Lovers & Liars Chapter Fifty Three: Insatiable need
*Liam*Wanting to take my time and savor her this time, I molded my mouth to hers, exploring the soft, sensual curves of her lips. She trembled beneath me in response. Scooping an arm around her waist, I drew her even more closer and relished the melting warmth that rushed between us. I groaned deeply in my throat, my hand sliding up the side of her face before it latched onto her throat while my other other hand found its way to her lush butt. I grabbed a cheek, my fingertips digging into the lush softness. God, this ass was going to be my weakness. It was shapely and was just enough for me to dig my fingers into… just the way I like 'em.She let out a low moan of pleasure as I parted her lips with my tongue and delved inside, ravishing her mouth and staking my claim. Passion and need fused as one and created a sharp, splintering ache in his loins, making my cock harden. I traced my tongue over her lips and licked the inner seam, she shivered, mindlessly rocking her hips against
Lovers & Liars Chapter Fifty Two: Between fear, hope and heartbreak
*Liam*“Do you want me to? Do you really want me to leave you alone, Angel eyes?” I asked her, my eyes darting across her face in search of the answer. Vivienne stared at me, a certain look of sadness creeping into her eyes before it disappeared. She averted her eyes and quickly stood up making me take a step back. “Yes,” she muttered. My fists clenched by my sides. “Look at me in the eyes and say it, Angel eyes,” I demanded as I breached the gap between us, getting into her personal space. I was done having her push me away for no reason. As I stared down at her, I could see her pulse beating wildly in the small hollow of her neck but yet she refused looking at me. In desperation, I grabbed her arm and drew her even closer to my body. “Answer me, Angel eyes.”She twisted her arm in my hold. “Get your hands off me, Liam,” she muttered. I tightened them instead. “Answer me, Angel eyes,” I said. Huffing out one deep breath, she finally yanked out her arm and fell a step back. She
