Kate sat on the floor, her back against the huge shrub; she was worn out; it was over seven hours, and she was still walking around the maze. Her legs ached from so much pain and her whole body hurt from walking too much.
She wished she had listened to Vera when she told her not to go into the maze, now see what had happened; the worst of all was that no-one would save her; if she didn't find her way out, she would sleep there for the night. She had heard Vera calling her name, and she called back, but it seemed Vera did not hear her because she kept on shouting. Her curious self-led her to trouble again.
After a while, she didn't hear her voice again, and she felt she had left. Kate didn't blame her though, it was her fault; she warned her not to go into the maze, but because of her stubbornness and curiosity she had gone into the garden labyrinth
At first, it was thrilling, and then when she was tired of playing and she wanted to leave, she couldn't find her w
“Mr. Smith…. I… I was just trying to check if I could climb out from this end; since I couldn't find my way around, I'm sorry for ruining your garden....” She stammered, her hand pointing to the hedge she had stepped on.Liam gaze had not fluttered since she started speaking, it was as though he was not even listening to her in the first place. Kate felt cold sweat running down her spine and some forming on her forehead as Liam stared intently at her; she didn't even know what to say anymore.She planned that she wouldn't fall into his trap, but she didn't know that she would get in so soon. Her stupid self never sticks to plan.''I'm sorry for the hedges.” She apologized again as she thought it to be the only reason he would stare at her so intently.Liam didn't respond to her, he just turned around and started walking out of the labyrinthActually, he didn't even know what to say to her; he wasn't at all angry at h
Next morning, as usual they went to the office and during the meeting everyone kept looking at Kate.“Are you going to concentrate in this meeting or are you going to keep staring at my personal assistant?” Liam asked; his eyes glaring at the board members.Kate’s cheeks reddened at his outrage.When they arrived at the company that morning, Liam ordered her to come for the board meeting, so he would introduce her to the board members and she would see what the board meeting was like.The board members were stunned to their toes when Liam introduced her as his new Personal assistant.A woman!!They heard from the employees he had hired a female PA but they didn't believe it; until they saw her in person. They couldn't even concentrate on the meeting anymore.One was that it was a woman, and the other was that she was stunning beautiful!After Liam cautioned; they all pulled their eyes from her and concentrated
“Thank you '' Kate said, a little blush tainting her cheeks; this man looks like Liam but he wasn’t cold and aloof like Liam. He gave out warmth.The man turned to her with a small smile; but he said nothing. He returned his gaze to the lady by the counter as he watched her package his order.Kate figured she should wait back and thank him properly; so she stood aside and waited for the man to take his order.He took his drink from the woman and turned to the Kate with a smirk on his lips;''I'm Joshua, what's your name? ''He asked courteously; Kate was surprised; she didn't expect him to introduce himself.''Oh… I'm Kate, it is nice meeting you Joshua. Thanks for buying me this coffee.''She thanked again as they walked out of the cafe and Joshua laughed.“Nah, a gorgeous lady like you shouldn't be left to pay for their own drinks.” He said and Kate blushed. What a sweet talker he was. If her hu
Joshua came out of the car and held out his hand for his mom to come out; Catherine stepped out and clung to her son's arm.It's been so many years. Twenty long years!After her mission failed and she couldn't get the Smith Corporation for her son, she had to take him away and change his name. His name was Blake but she had changed it to Joshua to protect him.And after sending him away, she adopted a son, of the same age and named him Blake. So everyone thought he was her son, and the heir to Global Corporation, and that was what she wanted. She needed to protect Joshua from anyone who might have known about her plot.If she had succeeded in killing Liam, it would have been easy to get into the Smith Family and have the Smith Corporation with a simple blood test, but he was alive! He was fucking alive! Up till that moment, she still hadn't figured how he managed to escape from her grip.After what happened; Liam was protected by guards, and he bar
As she approached his table, Kate took in his expression. He was staring at her like she had caught him doing something wrong; she has not seen him with such an expression before and her eyes reflexively looked down to the phone in his hands and Liam instantly turned it over.She caught his action, and a blush flushed her cheeks;''I'm sorry for interrupting, I should have knocked.”She said as she pushed the file across to him; her eyes flickering over his phone.Maybe he was watching porn, and she had just walked in without knocking, that explained his shocked expression and why he had turned the phone over as she approached. But what was he watching exactly.Gay porn???She wondered, and she pulled her eyes to his face. For him to have been so embarrassed, he must have been doing something very dirty, so it was definitely gay porn.He has been trying his best to disperse the gay rumors so he must be that shocked
''It will seem weird as first, you can't really seem to figure out why this person has occupied a permanent spot on your mind and you don't just understand why your thoughts are always being occupied by this person.When you feel this way, there are mainly three things involved.“You could be madly in love with them?”Liam brows creased harder when he heard the doctor’s words, “In what? What did you say?”He asked with an irritated tone; that was the last thing he expected to hear. He barely knew Kate. They may be married but they don’t live in same room or do they talk.Why was the doctor talking about love? Besides, he wasn't one who had such weak feelings, he didn't even have time for that; she must be mistaken.''No, I didn't say that is what it is, I'm just giving you the options; can I go on?” Olivia said try to prevent herself from laughing.This man was too naïve whe
She stood in front for a second before taking in air and diving deep into the water; the coldness of the water hit her skin, sending shivers down her spine; she swam for a moment before coming up to water surface; she wiped the water droplets on her face with her palm and she panted heavily.The water looked shallow from up there, but it was really deep; it was almost on her neckAfter securing herself, she dived into the pool again; it has been a long while since she felt so much relief. She was getting used to staying in Liam’s home at least. Remembering Irene, she figured she should go see her, since it's been a while. She had told her about the job, but she still needed to see her and know how she had been faring.After swimming for a while, Kate decided to practice her breath holding skills before she left the water; so she came up to the surface and took in a deep breath then plunged deep into the water squatted on the floor, closing he
He then continued with the CPR and calling onto her. “Kate! Wake up! Come on, wake up! Please!” Liam exclaimed as he pressed on her chest with both hands; she was still not moving; her eyes were still shut. He had never felt so much afraid of anything in so long! At that moment, he felt the same pain he felt twenty years ago in the closet. Everything around him disappeared and the only thing he could see was Kate; memories of that night flashed through his eyes and his hands shook from fear. He felt pain coursing through him as his eyes grew dark red from the pain. As the seconds passed, her face was getting paler; it was as though she was dying.Liam felt his breath ceasing; he found it hard to take in air. But he was not about to give up; he could not let her slip away the way he watched his parents twenty years ago; helpless and weak. With determination, he took in air again and covered her lips again, pushing it slowly down her throat to he
