Lovers & Liars Chapter Twenty Two: Hiding from him
*Vivienne*He kissed me.Liam Ryan Pryce just and I don't just know how to react. My eyes are wide in shock while my arms hang limply by my sides. I could only watch as he cradled my cheeks and pressed his lips against mine, his brows puckered in concentration. The kiss was so soft and tender, but it still ignited something that made me feel like my head was gonna explode.I was still trying to process everything when I felt him pulling away… no, no, no! Not yet. Not after weeks of fantasizing about kissing him. In one swift desperate move, I threw my arms around his neck and pulled him in closer, our bodies merging from the waist down. He went rigid for a second, his lips slightly disengaging from mine and then I felt him smile against my mouth before he kissed me again. I slowly closed my eyes and just savored the feeling of his lips against mine, the sizzle of lust pooling in my lower belly and rendering me useless. His lips are softer than anything I've ever known, soft like

*Vivienne*“Stay here,” I told Eric the moment we arrived at the spa. “You can go out or something, you don't really have to hang around.”Eric merely unbuckled his seatbelt and said, “After you, ma'am.”I sighed, already feeling exasperated this early morning. I caught his eyes in the rearview mirror and arched a brow at him. “Did you not hear anything that I just said?” I questioned him.He nodded curtly. “I did, ma'am,” he answered with a firm voice. “And my job is to protect you and that's what I'm going to do.”Feeling like I was already fighting a losing battle, I just rolled my eyes and got out of the car, all the while muttering something about stubborn bodyguards under my breath. But the moment I entered the building, I was brought up short by the sight of Tara, Penny and Nick huddled around the front desk talking in hushed tones. I wasn't bothered in any way by the sight since the spa won't open for another hour and I was already used to seeing them congregated and gossipi

*Liam*My mind has been all over the place for the past three days that I could barely manage to focus on anything. I sighed continuously for over an hour as I tried to focus on some paperwork from the foundation. Next, I tried reading a few lines from my current script but couldn't assimilate anything. Finally giving up, I decided to drop by one of our orphanages, maybe a smile from one of those little angels would help get me back on track. I notified Ryder and got there before him. One hour into my visit, I was already grinning from ear to ear as I reconnected with my little friends. However, that feeling was fleeting and every now and then, I remembered what day it was today. I sneaked a quick glance at my watch just as Ryder whispered into my ears, “We have to get going, Liam. It will only be a matter of time before this place is flooded with the paparazzi and reporters.” I have this unspoken rule about not letting any paparazzi take any photo of me while I was on any visit

*Vivienne*You know that moment when you start doubting your earlier decision and are now suddenly skeptical about why you had to do it?That was the moment that I am currently in and it sure wasn't easy. My heart was hammering in my chest and I was sure I was much closer to hyperventilating than I have ever been. “Ma'am?” Eric's voice jolted me back to the present and my eyes snapped up to his face in the rearview mirror. “Are you okay?” he asked. I swallowed long and hard. “Of course, I am,” I answered him. My sudden nerves had nothing to do with the fact that I was attending a Pryce event but everything to do with the fact that I was probably mistaken and jumped into this mess with any forethought. Was it too late to head back to the house?But if I do, I would still have so many unanswered questions which would only prolong this situation with Liam. I have successfully avoided him for the past three days, but I don't know how long I will be able to continue pulling that stun
Last Updated : 2024-08-29Lovers & Liars Chapter Twenty Six: Confronting her
*Vivienne*My eyes slowly shifted to her fingers and zoomed in on the giant diamond ring that I hadn't noticed before — this woman must be obsessed with everything diamond. I gradually arched my brows as I brought my eyes back to her heavily made up face. “Did you follow me here?”In my defense, there was surely no way we would have entered this place with just a few minutes' intervals. She paused and languidly recapped her lipstick. “You flatter yourself too much, Vanessa,” she said. I rolled my eyes. “Vivienne,” I corrected her even though I somehow knew she called me that on purpose. She waved me off with a tiny twist of her wrist. “Whatever,” she snorted and threw a glance around us. “This is the ladies restroom if I'm not mistaken. It's quite impertinent of you to assume I followed you in here like some sort of a stalker.”I tilted my head to the side. “You live here, don't you?” I asked. “You could have easily used your private bathroom instead.”Her eyes clashed with mine i

*Vivienne*“Liam?” the feminine voice called and my head swiveled towards it's direction. My eyes landed on a group of women standing a few meters away but what really caught my eye was the waspy-looking woman with wavy brownish-blond bob hair that came down to her neck. She was dressed in a flowing, soft cream dress that showed off her lithe, ballerina-like frame while an expensive looking necklace adorned her neck. She looked distinctly familiar like I was directly staring at someone I knew personally. But, it was only when I eventually looked into her green eyes that it hit me.“That's your mom, right?” I asked even though I didn't expect any answer. He doesn't have to confirm it when it is glaringly obvious. It was like I was staring at an older feminine version of Liam. The air that they both gave off is one that unmistakably spoke volumes of their sense of authority and refinement. I shifted my glance to the other women as they openly gaped at Liam. “Liam, you came!” anothe

*Vivienne*“Or else what?” she retorted, her eyes blazing with challenge. “You will kill me off like you killed your past girlfriends? Or worse still, like you killed dad?”Wait… what?Dumbfounded, my slightly wide eyes traveled back to Liam just in time to see his face shift, a shadow crossing his features. It was like a light had flickered out. The vibrant energy that usually surrounded him dimmed, leaving only a fragile silence where warmth had been. He stiffened as his jaw clenched tightly. “The fuck did you just say to me?” he asked, a chilling calm in his voice that sent cold chills racing down my spine. And I know Valerie felt his anger too because her bare shoulders tensed, a nervous energy radiating from her. She swallowed hard and lifted her chin in fake bravado. “You heard me,” she muttered. “And I said what I—”“Valerie, that's enough,” Their mother, Mrs. Pryce finally interfered, her sharp tone brooking no argument. Valerie's head shot towards her mother. “But, mother—

*Liam*Feeling an indescribable anger trickling into my veins, I turned away from her and stalked out. Ryder, who was already positioned at a corner sighted me and immediately glided over to my side. “We are leaving already?” he asked, easily stepping up to me and marching my strides. “Yes,” I answered curtly. Ryder darted a look over his shoulder. “And Ms. Reynolds? Are you just going to leave her here?” I faltered in my steps for a moment, the worry etched in his voice nagging at me. And the feeling was valid. “Have Eric come inside to secretly watch over her until she's done here. Then, have him take her home too,” I ordered him as we exited the main front door. “Of course,” he replied and immediately fished out his phone. I stopped and pointed at him. “Also ask some of the Shadows to guard them until they arrive safely at the estate,” I added and when he nodded in reply, I ducked into my car. As I settled into the plush seat, I yanked at my tie and loosened it from my neck

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
