Lilian knew that Kate had faked her cough to avoid her question. She was so clever! Initially, she thought she was easy to get rid of, but after what happened, she knew that she was wiser than she thought her to be.
She felt her husband hold her free hand which was on her laps and squeeze it lightly. He saw what had happened, but he didn't say a word;
Liam was really pushing him, and he wasn't sure of what he could do once he was over the cliff.
After the meal, the family had their dessert. Liam waited awhile before he told grandpa that he wanted to leave;
''Oh no, are you leaving so soon? We haven't even gotten to know your wife yet.'' Albert said, looking over at Kate.
''Don't worry grandpa, I'll come some other time, and we'll spend quality time together. '' Kate said with a beautiful smile on her cheeks;
''Oh, that's sweet! '' Albert replied with a smile. “when are you two planning to have an official wedding?”
Albert
Ha! when it comes to going to a lion’s den they all turn away and now treat me like a mistress of the house how laughable.She watched Milly walk away without glancing back again, her eyes turned to the maids who were standing around but immediately she looked at them, they all looked away from her, busying themselves with chores.Kate looked at the thermos flask in her hands and she knew that she didn't have a choice but to go up herself. It was almost ten o'clock. He must have gone to work, so there was no much big deal there, was there?All she needed to do was walk up the stairs, open his door, walk to his fridge, put the flask in and step out, there was nothing there. Come on, she wasn't afraid of an empty room, was she?She masked up her nervousness with those words and walked towards the stairs; once she was on the second floor, her heart started beating.'It's an empty room, Kate! Get a hold of yourself!! Stop being a scared cat!&rsqu
Kate bit her lower lip as she stopped in her tracks; she slowly turned around to look at him;There was no smile on his face, his face was cold as ever and she knew he was angry; her eyes slowly fell to her already jittery legs.''What were you doing in my parlor?''He asked, taking small steps towards her, his eyes fixated on her;Kate’s heart beat fast as she watched him approach, when he was almost close to her, she started stepping back, she inched backwards until her back was against the door; he was a few inches away from her now, and she was finding it hard to breathe. His fresh breath fanned her face, and she didn't know why she was suddenly feeling sleepy in that serious situation;''Do you have hearing problem? Or are your lips sealed? ''His eyes narrowed, and he asked with an irritated tone. Kate gulped down hard and she felt beads of sweat forming on her forehead; she knew she was in big trouble now.She blamed her
When Liam finished dressing up, he walked to the window to check if the guards had the cars ready, when he saw that they were already waiting for him, he turned to leave the room, then something flashed in his eyes; he immediately turned to the window again.She was staring at one of his cars intently as though there was something on it, his brows creased as he wondered what she was doing; he waited to know what she would do and suddenly she started walking towards the last car, when she approached, she lowered her head and stealthily go in, closing the door behind her.Liam was shocked to his spines. What in hell did she want to do?He thought for a moment but couldn't find a good answer to his question, so he waited to see what she planned on doing.How brave of you little kitten! I see you are growing some claws. Liam lamented inwardly with a dangerous smile plastered on his lips making him look like the king of hell.''Good morning, boss! ''
Justin sighed and rubbed on his face; he was annoyed but kept her cool. He took a deep breath. ''I'm sorry okay, I didn't mean to hurt you, I just missed you so much, I couldn't help it. ''He apologized; his face filled with emotions, Kate couldn't raise her voice at him again; she just slumped back in her seat. ''Let's just go. I don't want to be here anymore. '' She replied as she put on her seat belt; she was still scared, but she didn't want to tell him, she would just bear the burden alone. There was no need for crying over spilled milk. Justin watched her for a moment, then took her hand in his; he kissed the back of her palm before he let her go, then started the ignition. He knew he was being selfish but some part of him wished that someone had seen them so the deal between her and Liam would be over, and she would come back to him. **** In Liam’s office: ''Come in… '' Liam said to the person who knocked on his door. Ra
The air in the room was becoming unbelievably stuffy; the guard could barely breathe. Liam had been silent for the past one minute since he explained to him what he had seen. He didn't know whether he was angry at him for talking in the first place or he was angry at the Miss because his expression was too scary.Liam could not explain how he was feeling; he felt a bitter taste at the back of his throat and his heart was beating at an unusual pace, something that had never happened to him before. He pulled his hands into fists as he tried to control himself;''Where did this happen? '' He asked after pulling himself together. His voice was profound and his eyes were dark.The guard stepped back reflexively; he didn't want to tell him; he was already so angry; he would surely explode if he told him he saw them in front of the company.“Are you deaf?” Liam yelled and his voice vibrated through the room; the man did not wait another second, he qu
Kate was quiet, she knew she couldn't stop him from leaving, there was no way she could force him to give up his job and stay in Canberra, just waiting for her. But then, it was really a hard nut to chew.''Okay, when are you going?” She asked; her eyes sunken. She was almost on the verge of crying.''In three days’ time.” He said and Kate’s jaws fell open, she was gazing at him with so much fear written on her face, he knew that she would not be happy but he didn't expect that she would be so taken aback. He wanted to speak but on a closer look he realized that she wasn't looking at him but behind him;He immediately turned around to know what she was staring so intently at, and the moment he turned, a sharp blow met his nose, which sent him falling on the flour.Kate shrieked as she stood up and leaped toward him but before she could touch him, someone had hijacked her little body from the floor.She felt herself being pla
Liam wiped the sweat on his forehead then said, “did you know you are married?”Kate could not speak; she knew what she did was wrong but could you blame her? her life was taken from her by this man. She too like any normal girl had a boyfriend but that was cut short by this man.Liam turned to one of his guards and ordered, “gather your men; I want you to bring that man to me before sundown.”Immediately Kate heard his statement, she quickly raised her head; her eyes filled with terror;''No, no, please, Mr. Smith, please don't hurt him, you can do anything to me but please don't hurt Justin, please I beg you!” Kate cried, her voice rang through the room as her tears poured down her face.It was all her fault, Justin was innocent, and she was the one who dragged him into this, now Liam would hurt him, she could not let that happen.She was wrong she didn’t think the consequence would be this grave!
Justin was tied to a chair in the house on the west wing and his eyes were tied with a piece of cloth; he couldn't see where he was, he just heard footsteps in the room. Suddenly, he heard the door open and someone walked in with almost silent steps; he felt the person draw closer to him till he was directly in front of him; The person had said nothing; neither had the people in the room. Justin’s heart was drumming against his chest, his shirt was soaked in his own sweat and he feared for his life. Liam Smith was not a person who showed mercy, and if he was the one if front of him, he was really dead meat. Just when the thought came into his head, he felt the rag on his eyes being removed and a hard blow met his jaw, sending him falling backwards. He felt a metallic taste on his lips and he knew his jaw was broken; Liam straightened his palms, trying to ease the pressure on them because of the punch; ''Give me one reason why I shouldn
Jayden smiled as he walked to his room and looked at his reflection in the mirror. His fingers ruffled his hair, and he wondered if he should get a new hairstyle. Striding sluggishly to his bed, he fell on it. Madison… He thought, a smirk on his lips. He could not get her out of his head after that heated night of passion. He had not done something so wild before; sleeping with someone he didn't know for the first time. It was crazy. After that day, he had intended to forget about her, but after seeing her application letter to work in his company, he couldn't get her off his mind. He wanted to have a taste of it again, but this time, with her name on his lips, that was if she was up for it. But judging from how she had acted, he wasn't sure she wanted to do it again. He was brought back from his thoughts when his phone rang. He swiped when he saw the caller; Ivy… '' ''hey, babe, you up for some party tonight?'' she asked. He could hear her tossing things about in the background
''Pft, what a very sad life you live. '' Elle said, giggling lightly. Jayden ruffled her hair;''It's not, it's even more peaceful than most. ''''Nah, I highly doubt. But I still wish you'll fall in love someday, even if not with Ivy, with someone who would love you just the same.''Jayden laughed; ''Don't tell me you're already in another relationship, Elle. You just broke up two weeks ago! '' Jayden just guessed, but when he saw the smile on her chin, he knew he had suspected right;''You don't say!'' He laughed;''This one likes me a lot, Jayden, '' Jayden nodded; ''And so did the last one, ''Elle rolled her eyes. ''Well, that one was a cheat. ''Jayden was quiet for a moment, then he patted her hair; ''Just be careful, okay, you can take your time before getting into another relationship, you're still very young.''Elle stood up; ''it's getting late, are you going home or you're sleeping over?''Jayden smiled, seeing that she had smartly changed the topic. He just wanted her to
Jayden smiled when he saw the faint blush appear on her chin. It was hard to resist him; he had not met a woman who did.''So what do you say? Dinner by 6 on Saturday?'' He asked, shifting the strands of her hair to the back of her ear. She couldn’t breathe. The only thing she wanted at that moment was to escape from there, so she quickly nodded.Jayden smiled and stood upright; ''Okay, I'll pick you at your house.'' he said, walked to his car, and drove off, leaving her standing and looking incredibly shocked by what just happened.It took Mady a few minutes to realize that she had just agreed to a date with him. She grabbed her hair with one hand as she frowned intensely. What did she just do?***Jayden stared at her through his rearview mirror, a grin on his chin. He mentally thanked his car for getting hit that morning. After that day at his office, he had thought of a thousand ways to start a conversation with her without it being weird or out-of-place giving their encounter in
The rest of the week ran smoothly. Madison was surprised that Jayden did not speak or asked to see her after that first encounter. She was surprised, but at the same time, happy. Happy that it was as Zoey had said, there was nothing to it, it was just a one-night stand.She had bumped into ivy a few times, but she felt so guilty that she couldn't even look her in the eye. ivy was pretty with a hot body. She wondered what could make Jayden cheat on someone so perfect.But you can never understand people who think with their d*cks can you? I mean, she was perfect for her Ex, but he cheated more times than all the sex she had ever had in her entire life.Work was great. She changed her alarm wake-up time to 5:30, so she could be at the company very early. She did not want to get on the bad side of her seniors. But then, just when everything was going smoothly, something happened.Mady greeted her colleagues as she left the office. Walking to the parking lot, she beeped her car and walked
The two other employees glanced at Madison in shock. Did she just curse in front of the CEO? Was she asking to be sacked? Madison’s hands flew to her lips when she realized what she just did.''I'm sorry, sir. It was a slip of the tongue.'' She apologized, trying her best to avoid eye contact. Just what the hell did she get herself involved in?Jayden sat up in his chair; ignoring what just happened, he asked; ''Have you all been briefed?''"Yes, we have,'' they replied. ''Alright, you're welcome to Lincoln Corporation. I hope you enjoy working with us.'' He said and stood up, extending his hand for a handshake;The two employees shook him, and Madison stretched her shaky hands. Jayden smiled as he shook her. Nothing extra, but she felt shivers travel up her spine, and she quickly withdrew her hand.Jayden smiled and dismissed them. Ari was the first to turn around in a bid to escape quickly, but he was not done with her yet.“Madison Grey.'' He called and her legs came to a halt as
Madison slumped on her bed when she came back from the interview. She had taken a day's leave from work to go for the interview, and this was the last chance she had, else she would be stuck working for Clinics for a few more years. She didn't want that.Taking off her clothes, she cleaned up her house. She didn't have the time to clean up in the morning since she was in a hurry.As she cleaned her room, her thoughts drifted to the man from the previous night.Was she rude for sending him away like that? She thought.Then she shook her head. She would have made breakfast before he left, but she had an interview she couldn't miss. Besides, it was a one-night stand, they didn't know each other and Australia was too big of a place to meet a stranger twice.Changing her bedsheets. She put it into the washing machine and lay down for a movie.***Madison woke up the next morning and prepared for work, she quickly had breakfast and hurried out of the house, on the way, her phone buzzed and
Madison lost count of how many times they did it that night. Wild, passionate sex with no strings attached. It was nothing like she had ever felt. Morning came too quickly, as she was woken by her alarm. She had set an alarm for 6 because she had a job interview at Lincoln Corporation.She was an accountant. She had worked for a clinic for three years, but she wanted to move to a new environment and get better opportunities, plus she was having issues with her manager, and he was making work difficult for her.She had gone for a few interviews, but the companies were yet to call her back. Lincoln was her last straw. She jumped up from the bed naked and she hurried to the bathroom, but she stopped halfway when she noticed someone lying on the bed.Remembering her escapade, the previous night, she ran back to the bed and shook him roughly."Wake up! It's time to leave."Seeing him this morning, she noticed how great his body was. He looked like he worked out. He was sleeping with messy
21 years laterMadison touched up her already red lips as she smacked them."How do I look?" She asked, her best friend. Zoey was her childhood friend and they had been through all life's shit together."Hot, baby girl." She said, packing her hair up in a ponytail,"I'm going to get laid tonight." Madison said, and Zoey chuckled,"You get laid almost every night, not like this would be any different.""Well, it would cause I’ll be fucking a total stranger."Zoey’s eyes widened as she turned to her friend but before she could say a word, Madison walked out the restroom. Her friend had taken some alcohol earlier so she was a little high, so she wasn't sure if she was saying with her right senses."You are kidding right?" Zoey perverse as she followed Madison immediately,Madison smirked; "watch me." She said as her eyes scanned the crowd of screaming people in the club and her eyes stopped at a guy who was drinking alone at the bar.She smiled and walked to him before Zoey could stop he
Four years later."Jayden Smith, come back here!" Kate called as she watched her son leave his food and run to hug his father as he walked down the stairs, laughing mischievously.The little boy looked exactly like Liam, except he had his mother's eyes. Liam lifted his son up and kissed his fat cheeks as he carried him back to where his mom was sitting.Kissing her on the lips, he placed Jayden back in his chair. Kate glared at her son, and he laughed, showing off his developed milk teeth. She couldn't even get angry at him."How was your night, baby?" He asked as he tilted Kate’s head to look at him."Fine!" Jayden answered, before his mom could form words in her mouth. Kate and Liam burst out laughing."Jay, I was asking your mother." Liam said, patting his hair.Kate smiled. ''He likes you too much. '' she said;''It's obvious. '' Liam chuckled, patting Jayden hair again. Liam dotted on their son a little too much. It was as though he wanted to give him all the love he couldn't get
