Liam’s heart raced as his lips parted, panting heavily. His hold against the steering wheel was so strong that his knuckles turned white.
So that was it…
It wasn't because she hated him… it was because she thought he never loved her. She thought he was just using her…
Liam covered his mouth with his palm as he breathed out heavily. He couldn't even imagine how difficult it was for her, how unbearable it was to think that the man she loved was just using her. And finding out about his secret had made everything worse.
He increased his speed impatiently, wishing he could just disappear and appear in front of her house. She must have gone through a lot. He imagined the pain in her heart when she saw him with Tristin. The pain must have ripped her apart.
Liam bit his lower lip as he remembered the tears that were in her eyes; could it be that she could not bear the pain, so she had gone out to cry?
He sighed painfully; just how much pain d
Kate shut her front door and crashed against it, her breath ragged. What did he mean by his grandpa lying to her? What part of what grandpa said was a lie?He was clearly together with Tristin, so how was it a lie?Kate sighed, but she could not help thinking about why he had come all the way to see her. Should she listen to what he had to say?She thought but she quickly shook her head.What was the use? Nothing could happen between them again, he was with Tristin now. Listening to him was just calling pain all over again. She had cried enough; she wasn't about to start crying all over again.Kate pulled herself from the door and retired to bed, shutting her eyes. She tried to sleep but she couldn't, her ears were alert as though she was waiting to hear a knock on her front door, but throughout the night, no knock came. She didn't know when she finally fell asleep after long hours of waiting; she woke up by a few minutes 10 am the ne
Even when she didn't want to, Kate found herself blushing, “that was not my question; I said why did you kiss me?” she tried act shameless like she didn’t hear his last statement, raising her voice and sound firm but her voice came out breathy and soft as a result of the kiss, she gritted her teeth at her own silliness. She was really helpless in front of this man.''I love you,” Liam said again, making her blush deepen. He smiled and squatted before her, taking her tied hands in his.“My grandpa lied to you, wifey. He misled you…. I never chose to marry Tristin. The truth is, he met you first before coming to me, and he told you I had already agreed to the marriage agreement which was only to get you to yield to his demand. And when he finally came to me, he told me you already agreed to leave me.I was devastated, I couldn't believe it, and so I ran home to you. But when I got here, you were long gone. I couldn't come to you
The slap didn't hurt at all, but the glare in her eyes made him scared.''Why did you kidnap me?” She glared at him trying to look angry, but her expression which was flushed sexily was not helping.''Uh, because you are my wife!” he said with a sexy smirk on the lips.“Liam, am serious, why did you kidnap me?” she asked again in her ‘so serious’ tone.“I tried to talk to you but you didn't want to listen to me, I'm sorry, I told my men not to hurt you, did they?” He asked, caressing her cheeks, his eyes suspended over her swollen lips, itching to kiss them again.Kate pouted, even though they had kidnapped her, they didn't hustle her, even the binds they used on her were very light, if she struggled some more, she would have broken free, but that didn't mean she was going to let him go free.''You should have sent me a text or something…”''Oh… would you
“Who said you are not enough for me?” Liam held her cheeks with both hands as he stared into her deep blue eyes.Her eyes clouded and she shut them, not wanting to look at him;''If I was good enough, your grandfather wouldn't have tried to separate us,” she replied audaciously; that was the truth, if she was actually good enough for him, Albert wouldn't have thought of breaking them apart. She was a nobody, with no-background and she would never be good enough for him because she had nothing to offer.Liam heaved a deep sigh;''Look at me, love.” He said but Kate kept her eyes down; ''Love, please…”Kate’s throat tightened but she forced her eyes open and looked at him.''I and only I alone can say if you're good enough for me or not, and I'm telling you now that you're the only one I would ever be with, and no-one can unsay that, okay? I don't want you overthinking things anymore. If som
Blake stood outside the Melinda’s office, his hands shaky. His face looked like he had come face to face with death as it was drained of all color. The last thing he expected to hear was Joshua calling Melinda 'Mom'.There had always been that connection but he chose to ignore it, he chose not to doubt Melinda even when everything pointed that she had lied to him.At that moment in front of her office, he connected the lines. Joshua was Melinda’s biological son, whom she had kept away because she didn't want Liam to find out about him, for reasons he didn't know. She adopted him, in Joshua’s stead; she took care of him like her own son and made him the CEO, so any harm that wanted to come to Joshua would be accepted by him. He was just a pawn in her hands, one that she would surely get rid of when she didn't need him anymore.Blake’s hands fisted on his sides, and he turned around painfully. He knew how wicked Melinda was but he had alway
Liam’s throat tightened as he explained to her. He had always been scared of falling for her, but he couldn't help it, the heart wants what it wants. He couldn't imagine any hurt coming to her; she was the only person who kept him going.She was actually the only person in his entire world that made him smile, and he was going to wreak havoc on any soul that tried to hurt her.''Love, the only time I'm weak is when I'm in love, I do stupid things for love, but aside that, I'm a very strong woman. You don't have to be afraid, I'm going to stand by you through thick and thin, and we're going to pass this obstacle together, Okay?” Kate reassured with a smile, as her hand covered his that were on her face.“Okay….” Liam smiled, taking her hand and kissing the insides of her palm.''So this demonic woman, who is she? Do I know her?” Kate asked curiously.Liam shook his head, ''No, you don't… '' He stoppe
“Why?”''Because I want us to start all over, I should have asked that I don't live with you at all, but you'll be overly worried, so I'll just go back downstairs. Let's start all over, you'll ask me out properly and we'll go to dates like normal couples do and get married officially this time, okay?”Liam smiled; ''I love that. Let's do that. '' He understood her. The foundation of their marriage was badly made, so she was right to want to start afresh.''we'll move in when I come back, I have to go to work now, don't miss me too much.”''Too late, because I'm already missing you too much.” Liam groaned and she chuckled, '' don’t worry, I'll try to come back early. I shouldn't tell Tristin about us yet, right?”Liam thought for a moment; ''No, let me do it. She should hear it from me first.” He said and held her hand, taking her downstairs. Liam gave her a final kiss before telling his guards to take
Joshua smiled; ''Then it's fine. I told you I wanted to be a friend, I just wanted to help in any way I can. I'm glad you're happy.”Kate’s eyes widened at his reply, she wasn't expecting him to let go easily; ''Thank you, thank you, I was really scared by how you would feel about it, knowing that we just started trying if it would work out between us.”''Ah, I'm not that complicated, I care about your happiness, and I'm glad that you have found it.”''Thank you, Joshua, I really appreciate this, you're a nice person, I'm sure you'll find someone soon.” Kate said and Joshua laughed; ''yeah, I hope so too.”Kate waved Joshua goodbye when they got outside before she entered the car and drove off. Joshua watched the car disappear into a distance before the smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes became dark.Who did she think he was, Jesus Christ? She just used him and when she was done, she left him and walked
