''Mom, I don't think we should be rejoicing yet,” Joshua said as they walked into their house, Blake was nowhere to be found ever since Liam went missing and Kate was happily giving the company over to her husband's killer.
Even though he wanted to feel happy that he would soon be accepted into the family, he could not bring himself to. Melinda didn't reply, she just walked to her room and Joshua followed her;
''I'm very worried about Blake’s disappearance, how could he disappear all of a sudden, just when we should have killed him.” One thing Joshua wasn't comfortable about is the fact that Blake was still breathing somewhere on the surface of the earth, they've tried to find him, but they couldn't.
''You should be more concerned about the look on that girl's face when she looks at you, she knows about what happened 21 years ago but why she is keeping quiet is beyond me.” Melinda said sitting down on a couch and taking out her shoes.
Melinda laughed lightly; ''Oh, I'm sure about this. You are questioning the wrong person right now, and no matter how much you question me you aren't going to get anything from me because I'm not the killer and even if you go ahead and charge me, I'll be acquitted because all the evidence you have now is merely hearsay, and circumstantial, so I implore you to channel your grievance to the right person.” She concluded in one breath, leaving the police officers staring at her speechlessly.Melinda spoke confidently as though she was sure of what she was saying. And she actually made sense, but they weren't going to conclude until they looked into it.“Do you have any further questions for my client, officer?” the lawyer who a was sitting by her side quietly,spoke and the police officer gritted his teeth.''No further questions, you can leave now.”“Thank you,” Melinda smiled and they stood up to leave, she had
Three days later…Melinda was sleeping when she heard some footsteps in her room; she creased her brows and pushed her sleep mask from her eyes, turning the light on in the room; all color drained from her face when she saw the person sitting on the couch in front of her;''Hello, Mrs. Steels,”His voice as cold as midwinter breezed through the room kicking every atom of sleep from Melinda’s eyes; she shook on her bed, her face as pale as the snow.He was wearing all black with black gloves on his hands, if not that she didn't believe in ghosts she would have thought he was a ghost.''You are dead… you…how are you alive…” she stuttered in shock as she stared at him, not even in her wildest dreams did she imagine that he would be alive.''Yea, I am dead. And you know one thing about dead people? We haunt the living; the fun part is that when we commit murder can never be traced to us.”
Melinda prepared her ears for the sound of the gun but instead a light funny sound came out. Her face paled as she pressed the trigger again but nothing happened; this gun was always loaded for emergencies like this, so how…Her eyes turned to him and the relaxed expression on his face told her that he had unloaded it.''You… how….” She shook with the gun in her hand as she let it fall to the ground.''You really have no remorse in you, Melinda.” Liam chuckled at her pitiful state, shaking his head.''You want the company so bad, but it's a pity you aren't going to come close to it because you're going to die soon, like a weakling. See how far you went just to have what does not belong to you, too bad, not only are you not going to have it, you're going to watch from hell how Blake takes everything you have.” He smiled devilishly making her pale the more.“Bl... Blake…” she said her ch
Liam took a step forward, but before he could walk to her, Kate ran towards him, leaping up, she embraced him in a hug, her arms going around his neck.''I've missed you, sooo much hubby!” she cried as she held him tightly.''I missed you too, damn, I nearly died,” Liam laughed as she released him a little and kissed his lips hungrily. lord, she had missed this, she missed him. It had been terrible sleeping alone these weeks, and she couldn't wait for all these to finally be over.Her hands gripped his hair, as they deepened the kiss not minding the guards who were still standing around, well it wasn't long before they awkwardly walked away giving the lovebirds some privacy.After the longest time, they let go of each other. Kate took her time to admire his face as he held her in his arms.''You look more handsome,” she smiled at him, rubbing his face with her hands. The workers who had stepped out for their morning functions were
Li…Liam? he was alive!He slowly let go of her mouth and she turned to him in shock.“Hubby… '' Her hands held his face as she felt him in the darkness, even if she wasn't seeing him, she knew what he felt like, and just one touch of his face, she knew it was him. ''you're alive, ooh my, you're alive.” Tears flowed from her eyes and she leaned to him, kissing him all over his face.''Do you know how worried I was? You made me cry! You made me cry a lot!” Kate whimpered as she kissed him. Liam hugged her, kissing her cheeks.''I'm so sorry; I wish I could come earlier, but I just woke up this afternoon in a little house, owned by an old man. He had saved me from the water, while he was fishing, I don't think he knew who I was, that is why no-one knew I was still alive.”Kate turned to put on the light so she could see his face but he stopped her hand.''I don't want anyone to know that I'm alive yet.&rdqu
The next day, Kate woke up early. She had her breakfast and took her medications without any nagging. Liam was coming today so she didn't want him to complain about anything. She was very excited that she would see him again but her excitement turned to worry when by half-past noon he wasn't yet there, unfortunately, Evie and Irene became the receiving end of her nagging.''Didn't he say he would come? He isn't here yet, where is he?”“He is coming, maybe something came up.”“Oh, okay,” She paused; ''but it is 1:30 already, he should be here by now.”Evie sighed falling back on the couch; “maybe if you sleep and wake up, he'll appear.”Kate pouted, maybe she should calm herself down for a moment, she was getting too worked up. Resting back on the bed, she decided to watch a movie, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.Before Evie or Irene could even look towards the door Kate had dashed
Kate had been awake all through the meeting but now, she was getting tired, so she lay on Liam’s laps as she slept. His hands played with her hair as he listened to Blake speak.''I was uninformed of all these. I knew Melinda was wicked, but never would I ever have thought that she would have done that, and to think she went to the extent of raising me just for a stand-in for her son. So this was her grand plan all along, get the Smith Corporation and kill me off so I don't get any part of her son's company.” Blake’s voiced in shock. He had imagined a million wicked things she must have done to Liam, but he never imagined that she was capable of that. At that moment, he felt chills run down his spine; to actually be alive was is a miracle.''I don't even want to think about the wickedness living inside of that woman; the important thing is that we finally have a way to take her down. You know, now she thinks that I'm dead, she'll come after you before
''You're stubborn; '' Liam pinched her cheeks and Kate laughed.''What? I knew you wouldn't let me if I told you, besides I never planned for it to happen, I just didn't want to miss the opportunity if it ever came by, but I'm sorry for making you worry.” She said as she grinned and leaned close to him, her eyes fell to his lips and she gazed at it lasciviously.Liam swallowed as he waited for her to kiss him but instead, she took out her tongue and licked his lips;''I missed you,”Flames of hunger burned in his belly instantly as he wasn't expecting that. His hands went around her waist and pulled her to him.''You know how to get around things, don't you?” Liam breathed against her lips as he lifted her off the couch, earning a yelp from her. her legs went around him and she brushed his hair with her fingers.''I'm so glad. '' she smiled as Liam let her down on the bed and hovered over her.''Me too,”
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
