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,”
Kate shook her head, ''No, I'm not, it's just… I didn't want you to worry, and you were already blaming yourself terribly at that time, I didn't want to make the matter worse by telling you. But as time passed, I realized maybe I should have told you earlier. I'm sorry for keeping it away from you.”''Was this why you were so scared? How can I be mad at you for this?” Liam asked, letting her go and staring into her eyes.''I'm mad, really mad but not at you. Never; you should have told me,” he caressed her cheeks with his thumb lovingly.Kate looked away; ''I couldn't, I…felt… dirty…” She said in a soft tone, loud enough for only him to hear.''He kissed me Liam, and I couldn't do anything. I watched him laugh at how pitiful I was and all I could do was stare at him, it broke me, I let another man touch me, I felt used. I wanted to kill him myself I promise, but I knew you wouldn't let me go with you.&rd
She promised herself she would kill him herself. He was too wicked for the mercy of prison sentence; she wouldn't let him get away with this, not this time. Even if she was caught, she didn't have anything to lose anymore; she had been fighting for Bruno all along, and thankfully he doesn't know anything about her plans, so he would be safe.He would take over the Hub Corporation, and he would be fine. She would face whatever punishment came her way. It was her fault; she had married the wrong person. If she, for once, went against her parents' wishes, she wouldn't be in this mess right now.Maybe now, they would regret forcing her into this marriage. Not only did they lose their daughter, she was about to bring shame to them. She sounded a bitter laughter, shaking her head. What a sad wasted life she had lived. The door swung open, kicking her out of her thoughts, she blinked when she saw Benjamin.''Did you see the news? '' she asked and he nodded, for the fir
''I should shut up?” He couldn't believe his ears;“Yes, shut up.”He was already mad about what was happening and she was there looking for trouble where there was none; maybe he should slap her and bring her back to her senses. He lifted his hand to slap her but strangely, his hands hung in the air, he tried to move it but it could not; a light chuckle left Lillian’s lips and she helped him bring down his hand.''Yeah, that's right, I just poisoned you;”His eyes widened with shock and he opened his mouth to scream at her but no words could leave his lips.“Ooh dear, don't bother trying, you can't talk too;” she laughed standing up from the couch, Benjamin could only move his eyeballs, every other part of him was paralyzed.''Very soon, your insides will start burning, you'll boil from inside out and yet you can't even scream, you'll die slowly but gruesomely, yes, I got the most gruesome poison yo
