MAYA“ Please don’t go with him, “ Liam said to me with the angry look on his face being replaced with a pleading look after a while of what seemed like he was thinking.“ Why Sir, “ I asked him. Deep down I had a feeling that I knew what he was about to say.“ If at all that is what he is about to say then it would be a miracle, “ My subconscious shot back at me with a laughter of mockery.Liam looked at me and this was the first time I had seen him nervous. He wanted to speak to me but didn't know how to. The Liam I knew never ran out of how to express himself.“ Just please don't go with him because if you do, it'll break my heart, “ Liam said with a tender look on his face.I was astounded by what he just said. Did he just indirectly confess that he feels something for me? Yeah, I knew sometimes he behaved like he cared about me but I thought my feelings for him were unrequited.“ I…I don't understand what you mean Sir, “ I answered him with a stutter.I was at a loss for words, h
LIAM’S POVWhen Maya left the office in a hurry with a blushing face I couldn’t help but chuckle. She looked so cute. After a few moments, she didn’t come back, which raised my worry so I went outside to check on her.Henry wasn’t at his office either, not like I was expecting him to be in his office since it was already time for lunch. I tried calling Maya but her line wasn’t reachable.“ Sir, are you searching for Miss Allen? “ One of my female staff members, Elvina, asked me.I straightened my suit jacket and nodded my head. Was it that obvious that I was looking out to see her? I frowned at the thought.“ Sir, she went for lunch with some guy. They just left the office to the cafe opposite our building, “ Elvina said as she batted her eyelashes at me.“ Alright thanks, “ I said and got into the elevator. When I heard Elvina tell me that Maya went for lunch with some guy my thoughts went to Silver.That conniving asshole is trying to manipulate Maya into his bed like he does with o
LIAM’S POVMy mom and my sister stood in front of me with menacing looks on their faces while I stood like a kid who had been caught doing something bad.“ Let's get on with it already shall we? Bring it on, “ I said to them with a bored look on my face and at the same time gesturing with my hands for them to come closer.I stood expecting them to lash out at me. I couldn't wait for them to get it over with so I could go find my Maya. The poor girl must be in bad shape right now, I thought to myself.But much to my surprise my mom and sister began to smile and giggle.“ That's weird, “ I muttered with a surprised and confused look on my face as my brows creased.“ Where did you meet her? “ My mom asked with a smile as she walked towards me while I took steps backward. I was still trying to process and digest their reactions.“ She’s cute. I especially love her hair, “ Anna said and giggled as she walked towards me. They kept walking towards me while in response I kept taking steps bac
LIAM’S POV I followed Anna downstairs, curious as to what she said I would want to see. Hardly had I walked down the stairs, when I saw Silver and Maya talking to my mom. They had the nerve to come to my house? I was pissed and disappointed at Maya for even accepting to come to my family residence with Silver. “ What are you both doing here? Leave!! “ I said angrily and pointed at the door. Maya looked perplexed at my outburst, which made me wonder why she acted that way after knowing what she did. “ Calm down Liam… We just… '' Silver began to speak but I cut him short. “ You don’t get to talk in my house after what you did, “ I yelled at Silver angrily, making him flinch at my sudden outburst. “ That’s your problem, Liam!! “ He yelled at me angrily too which made me pause for a moment in surprise. “ You always suspect any slight move I make. You blame me without knowing the full story or at least hearing from my side. That incident on that fateful day, I didn’t do it. I would
MAYA’S POV After the series of hate comments, I got from netizens because of Liam and also after going to his family house to see him and him practically chasing me away. Here I was walking to his office to ask him what I did wrong only to meet him with Chloe in his arms. I was pained but there was no way I was going to let it show. So I just smiled which made Liam’s brows crease. “Good morning Sir, I’m here to tender my resignation letter,” I said and removed the letter from my bag. After what he did back at his family house, Silver helped me come up with a solution. Which was to resign and he would help me post that Liam was helping me rehearse for a commercial and that we were not dating at all. He said this would help calm netizen’s hate comments. I didn’t want to agree at first because there was no way I was going to deny my love for Liam, but seeing him now, Silver’s advice seemed to be the best option I’ve got. “What??” Liam asked, utterly shocked while Chloe stood by h
LIAM’S POVI stared at nothing in particular wondering what the hell just happened. I was hoping to see Maya at work today but I sure as hell didn’t expect her to quit work.When I asked if yesterday meant nothing to her, it pained me more than when Chloe broke my heart after I heard Maya make up a very silly excuse.I knew I deserved her outburst after the way I treated when she came to our family house but I didn’t expect that she would take this far.“Well, that went….” Chloe wanted to continue but I didn’t give the opportunity. I pushed her out of my office and locked my door.I grabbed the flower vase close to where I stood and smashed it to the wall.Just then I heard a knock on my door. I was angry at myself because I was the cause of Maya’s decision now.I composed myself because I had no option to. I was at work. Thereafter I opened my office door only to see Henry standing by the door.I left the door open for him and went to sit on my chair. He had a look which signified th
MAYA’S POV“So I approached Chloe to talk to her on behalf of Liam. I didn't know he had mustered up the courage to speak to her, and when we both saw him coming, she….” Silver paused and swallowed nervously.“She what?” I asked him curiously, urging him to complete what he was saying.“She kissed me,” he said, making me gasp.I thought I knew Chloe, but listening to Silver now made me very sure that Chlor had a disgusting character.“Did she know that you were friends with Liam?” I asked just to be sure.“She did. Thereafter, Liam thought I betrayed him and stopped talking to me, and I became angry that he believed I would actually betray him. That's our story.” He completed and clasped his palms together.I now realized one thing for sure, which was that I wasn’t going to work with Silver now that I resigned my job from Liam’s company.I didn't want to cause more enmity between the duo than there already was.“I think you both misunderstood each other. I feel both can resolve this i
MAYA’s POVWhen I opened the door, I saw Liam standing in the room, which was decorated with posters and balloons that had “I am sorry and please be the love of my life” written on them.All of a sudden, his mom and sister popped out of various corners in the room.“Surprise!!!” They exclaimed.“What’s going on?” I asked them as I chuckled.“Uhm…. Trying to make you accept Liam back?” Anna, Liam’s sister replied.“He is sorry, Child,” Liam’s mother walked to me and said before patting me on the shoulders, and they excused themselves from the room, giving Liam and me privacy.The fact that Liam and his family did this warmed my heart. The fact they were in support of my relationship with Liam despite my social status gladdened my heart.“I want you in my life, Maya; please don’t say no,” Liam said to me, and I couldn’t hold back any longer.I closed the space between us, wrapped my hands around his neck, and kissed him.Liam wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer as our li
