Kate smiled, but what was in her mind was the exact opposite. “Thank you, grandma.”
Welcome home indeed! Who needs welcoming? She would even prefer to sleep in the dog's pen than to sleep with him in the same room.
God! How would she survive this!
She mentally rolled her eyes.
''Okay hurry and freshen up, I'll send someone to call you when dinner is ready.” Dorothy said and Liam led Kate upstairs, his hands still around her waists.
When they had gone up halfway, she noticed that Liam’s arm was still around her waist and she turned to know if anyone was around, when she saw that no-one was in sight, she quickly wanted to take off his hands but the words that came out of his lips, nearly caused her a heart attack.
''From now onwards, I want you to always be close to me, do you understand?” Liam said seriously with no expression on his face.
Kate’s eyes instantly turned to him; they were sticking out t
Kate heard the door open and slam close and she waited a moment before she turned around, when she didn't see him in the room, she realized he just left. She heaved a sigh of relief and sat up on the couch; her eyes scanning the room.It was huge, a master bedroom. Tastefully decorated but it was not what she had expected of his room, he loved dark colors, the room was rather very bright.Just when she thought about it, she heard noises approach the room and the door was pushed open. Liam stepped in, followed by his grandma.''You know I don't like bright colors; this is way too much, call a painter quickly and get these paintings changed and bring back my old furniture.” Liam groaned as they walked into the room, a displeased frown on his face.''Oh Liam, I don't see anything wrong with this, okay, if you want any change, you can't decide on your own, your wife is here with you now, so both of you have to agree to the change.” Dorothy said an
Liam’s deep masculine voice rang across the room, pulling Kate out of her temporary daze. Her cheeks flushed red as she trailed her eyes to his face and they met Liam’s piercing gaze.Kate mentally slapped herself. One second, she was raging at him and another second; she was drooling over his body. What could best define her madness?Although she knew that she had been caught red-handed, she didn't want to give him the satisfaction he wanted.“What do you mean by like what I see? What do I see, if I may ask?” She asked with a slight raise of her brows. The smirk on Liam’s face diminished exceptionally; he did not expect that she would have a reply for him; but then, he wasn't ready to lose to her yet,Chuckling lightly, he continued, ''Well, I'm sure it's something magnificent to keep you staring for minutes, gorgeous.”Why in hell does he keep calling me that!Kate screamed in her head, but she did well
“Let’s get officially married.”Everybody: “….”Shock, bafflement, confusion, surprise, all washed over Kate’s face.Did he just fake-propose to her in front of his whole family?!Kate didn’t even want to think about the consequences of what he had just done.Lilian dug the pit, but he just made matters worse by pushing them right into it. She didn't even know how to reply; her throat was so dry from shock.“Gorgeous, I know I didn’t give you a nice wedding, so I would like to ask you, will you marry me?” Liam asked his voice resounding in her ears at that moment proved that she had not heard wrong.He was gazing at her so intently, deep emotions imprinted in his eyes. If she didn't know that he was just faking it, she would have really thought he meant it. But what was his plan? Kate wondered, but she knew that there was no time to think about that. She had to play he
Everyone looked at Benjamin, who was sitting relaxed on the couch. He has always been a calculating and smart person. He didn't speak much, but whenever he did; he chose his words carefully.Everyone knew this, so when they heard him, they all had to think on what could be in it for him. Once he spoke, Albert figured out what he wanted. He didn't want Liam having an official ceremony as it would crush his only hope of taking back the company, but then, his words did make sense. Kate was still new to the public eye; she needs to adjust to being among the rich before she's married.After he met her during the dinner, Albert made his inquires and found out that Kate was the child of Liam’s former guard who owed him, and he made his daughter be his fake wife in exchange of the debt. He knew everything was a plan, but he wanted to see how far Liam would go with it. Maybe he would really give it a thought and truly marry her, which would as well turn out good. Kate was
There was just one bed in the room!!!Wait, how did he not think about it all the while! Throughout the trip, even till that evening, it was now he was just realizing that they would share a bed!What was he thinking? He had never slept in the same room with anyone before; talk more of the same bed! Why didn't he remember all these when grandma asked them to come over? He was just thinking of how he would get closer to her and he forgot the most important details.What would he do now?Liam racked his brain and for a moment, his eyes shifted to her.She must have thought of all that, that was why she had been uncomfortable all the while; she must see him as a big jerk!Why wasn't he thinking straight all these while! Liam mentally scolded himself, but just when he opened his lips to speak, Tiana beat him to it.''I'll… I'll sleep on the couch, its large and very comfy.” Kate said, her voice tremblin
Kate screamed, her hands covering her eyes immediately and with a swift fled, she dashes from the bathroom.''Oh, my God” She panted; her face red with embarrassment.''Why are you screaming as though you saw a ghost?” Liam stepped out of the bathroom, his feet making sounds as he walked into the room, a towel around his waist.Kate’s hands were still over her eyes, and she didn't dare turn around.''I… I'm sorry, I was in a hurry since I woke up late, I didn't realize you were in the shower.” Kate stammered, her whole body trembling her eyes still feeling tainted from what she had seen.“Is that why you are so shaky, it's not as though you saw anything, there was the glass door….” Liam paused, he couldn't lie; he was really enjoying the show in front of him. He didn't expect her to barge into the bathroom, but although he was nude, he was sure she had seen nothing because of the glass door and stea
Liam held his breath until he was downstairs, when he got to the living room; he raised his hands to his tie and adjusted it, breathing heavily.What did he just see?He was just halfway down the stairs when he realized that he had forgotten an important file on the table and he turned around to go get it, only to see her with just a towel, standing in the room as though waiting to be eaten.Does she even know that she was irresistible? How would she come out tying only a towel? What if he wasn't able to control himself?Liam groaned,This woman! What is she turning me into?''Why are you looking as though you just saw a ghost?” Mary, who just walked into the living room, asked Liam with a smile on her face. She was sweating and with the towel around her neck, Liam knew she just came from the gym.''Oh… aah...mmmh,” Liam coughed; his cheeks flushed more when he realized 'the ghost' he had just seen. The ‘ghost
Call him, the demon lord by his name? Did he wake up on the wrong side of his bed today? What's with all the strange attitude? Or was he really considering sleeping with her? Her face paled so much that it looked like she would have a heart attack anytime from now. ''Are… are you serious right now?” She asked, raising her eyebrows slightly. Liam smiled, tilting his head; “What? You don't want to do that?” Kate thinned her lips. She didn't say a word. When he saw that she would not reply, he pulled her seat closer to his, his eyes locking on hers. Kate wanted to avoid looking at him, but his gaze was so captivating that she could only stare right into his eyes. ''I was thinking,” He whispered. Raising his hand, he tucked in some loose strands of her hair to the back of her ear. ''I should start treating you more like my Wife than an employee,” His words which filtered into her ears made her hairs stand erected on h
