MAYA“ Dear Miss Maya Allen, this is to inform you that you have been selected and we would love to employ you as the personal assistant to Mr. Liam Taylor. An email has been sent to you, if you still wish to work for our company please sign and report to work by 8 am, where you would be given the hard copy of your employment letter which you would sign and it'll be kept by the company for record purpose “ The message that Cleared all the sleepiness from my eyes read.Was this a prank? Because of everything that transpired yesterday, I could have sworn that I wouldn't be given this job. Well, it's a win-win for me then even though the boss is very hard and cold towards me I’ll be just fine if I do as he says and mind my business.I quickly checked my email and saw it was indeed from their company. I signed and jumped out of bed to check my wardrobe for what I can wear.I felt frustrated when I couldn't get anything palatable to wear. I settled on the dress that the person who helped m
MAYA“ Follow you to where sir? “ I asked him, confused, as to where he wanted us to go. The arrogant man didn't answer me, rather he made his way out of the office and I had to follow him.We got into the elevator together and damn from the minute we stepped into the elevator till we came out of it I was feeling claustrophobic, Liam had a kind of suffocating aura.We got down the elevator and walked to the exit door of the company. Through the corner of my eyes, I could see beautiful models who were passing stop to ogle Liam after which when they saw me following him they began glaring at me and giving me nasty looks.I rolled my eyes at them before finally exiting the company building with Liam. He walked to the car while I followed him closely. Reaching his car he got into the driver's side still without saying a word and I wanted to open the door to the back seat.Not wanting to sit beside him in the front passenger seat, scared that he might chase me to the back seat, telling me t
MAYA“ He always talks about you each time he calls me since he helped you at the bar, he always complains about how you couldn't even thank him now that you have seen him again. But he still made you his Assistant and has even brought you shopping, he hasn't done that for any of his assistants before. You must be special. I think he likes you, “ Eve said chuckling as we walked to the changing room.But when she mentioned him helping me at the bar It was then that it clicked in my mind that Liam was the good person that helped me. It's no wonder that he looked at me that way when I went for the interview.I facepalmed knowing that he must be thinking I'm ungrateful and that I recognized him but feigned ignorance.I quickly ran back to where Liam sat still engrossed with whatever he was doing but when he saw me stop in front of him he lifted his head and for the first time since his amber eyes had been looking at me I recognized that he was the hot guy sitting beside me that day.“ I'm
MAYA“ And how is that your concern? “ A voice from behind asked the blonde lady and when I turned to see who was standing up for me against this blondie, I was surprised to see that it was Liam.We made eye contact and his gaze lingered on my body for a while before he walked forward to stand beside me while he addressed the blondie.“ Lydia is this all you do instead of working? Had it been she is someone from another company bringing a contract deal to me, is this how you would behave? What gave you the right to question a random person in such a rude way? “ Liam asked with a displeased look on his face.Oh, so her name is Lydia, she looked very beautiful with the perfect body and height but the problem was her character from the way she spoke to me. I could already tell she is rude and pompous, I guess that she is a model.The way Liam stood up for me warmed my heart in a way I couldn't explain, he's not a total asshole I guess. But then again from the way he spoke, it seemed he al
LIAM“ You? “ I exclaimed as I looked at the guy who Chloe cheated on me with. I was shocked to see him here and wondered what business he had with Maya.After that day I bumped into Chloe, my ex-fiancee, with this guy that she cheated on me with at the restaurant I wanted to go eat at that night, I became more pissed at myself and It still served as a reminder for me not to let my guard down and fall in love with another woman.“ What's going on here? How do you two know each other “ Maya asked as she looked at us confused.“ I d-dont k-know him “ The guy stuttered while trying to lie. I wasn't surprised because all those close to Chloe only knew how to lie a lot.I didn’t want to go into much detail because I didn’t want her to know about my personal life. So I didn’t answer if I knew him or not. What I was curious about is how she knew someone like him.“ How do you know him? “ I asked her trying to relax my face so it wouldn't prompt her to question me, not like there was a problem
MAYASo Chloe was Liam’s Fiancée!! I can’t believe this. Was there a time when Chloe ever told the truth? Because recently I’ve been discovering that everything about her was all lies.I’ve been fooled by the two important people in my life. I didn’t want to cry as I spoke to Lucas telling him I didn’t wanna have anything to do with him.I wanted to act strong and brave like I always do. I wanted to bury the pains, heartbreak, and betrayal that I felt deep in my heart like I always did, but when Liam told me it was okay to cry, I busted out crying.Surprisingly, he carried me and placed me on the passenger side of his car. I didn’t expect him to do so because he was now my boss, unlike the other times at the bar when we were both strangers to each other.We heard the sound of someone clearing his throat, which made I and Liam look toward the direction that the sound came from. When we did, we saw that it was a courier.He held the shopping bags that Eve said she would deliver to my do
LIAM“ She what?! “ My voice came out in an alarmed way than I intended it to.I couldn’t stop myself from reacting this way because we were already late for the photo shoot and here they were informing me that Lydia just got involved in an accident and won’t be able to make it for the photoshoot.The worst thing is that we were already pulling into the venue where the shoot would be held. I felt frustrated and confused.“ Please take her to the hospital and make sure she gets all the treatments that she needs, “ I said to Lydia’s manager before ending the call.I massaged my forehead because I had a headache coming on. I felt Maya’s gaze on me and I knew she would wanna ask me what happened.Luckily, the driver stopped the car and I alighted immediately. I wasn’t in the mood to talk to her yet, looking at her, she reminded me of Chloe and her betrayal. I couldn’t just fire her because I knew she needed the job.Also, I find what Patricia did on the plane really embarrassing. That nig
LIAM“ Hey guys, what's going on here? “ A familiar feminine voice called out from behind us. We turned to see Eve walking to us with a grin on her face.Eve had been a good friend of mine since we were children and her smile had always been contagious to me until today. Normally when she smiled I always smiled back, but today I was just very upset to do so.The fact that Silver was trying to act nice to Maya when I hadn’t even begun to do that yet angered me. I knew he was doing this to get her for himself.“ Eve, it’s Good that you’re here already. Maybe you can put in a good for me, so Maya can please be our model for today, “ Silver said to Eve who now had a look of confusion on her face.“ What happened to the model we were supposed to be working with? “ Eve asked Silver.“ She was involved in an accident and you, of all people, should know that we can’t postpone this photoshoot. Liam’s models all have been fully booked and I really want to partner with him. That's why I said Maya
LIAM’S POVWhen Mason told me to hurry, that in most cases if a kidnapper called, they transferred their victims to another location in case their location had been found out, I never expected to find out that Eve was behind their kidnapping.Nor did I expect to find out that he had lived with me since childhood. I made a mental note to tell her that, even though Maya didn't show up, I would never have had romantic feelings for her.I saw her like a younger sister, and even imagining having any romantic feelings for her seemed gross to me.I was glad that we had gotten my kids, and they were playing and talking throughout the drive home as though they didn't just witness a fierce shootout.Reaching our gate, it looked like there was a commotion going on there, so we got down from the car, leaving the kids in the car as we went there.Only to see Chloe and Lucas when we got there. Maya and I frowned, and so did my mom and sister, Anna.“What’s going on here?” I asked.“We were in the c
MAYA’S POVAnna and Liam’s mom were trying to calm down while we sat together patiently waiting for Liam and Silver to get back.Eve got an emergency call at her boutique and left, promising to come back once she had attended to the VIP client who demanded to see her.My phone began ringing, and when I checked, it was Liam calling. I informed his mom and sister, and we all sat up eager to hear what he had to say.“We have gotten the address of where our kids are being kept. We have called for backup from the police and are heading there now. I’ll text you the address for you to meet us there. Be quiet as possible,” Liam said the moment I picked up the call.“Alright,” I said and ended the call.I was glad that they got the address but hoped that the kidnapper wouldn’t harm my kids. I couldn’t afford to lose them.I wanted to call Eve to inform her of the latest development, but due to how Liam’s mom and sister were in a hurry for us to leave, I decided to call her later after we got t
LIAM’S POVIt had been four years since that night of passion Maya and I shared, which afterward I got down on my naked and proposed to her.She was happy and surprised that she began to shed tears of joy before she accepted to be my wife.We have two children now, Jaden and Janelle. They are twins.Jaden takes after me while Janelle takes after her mother. In these years Eve and Maya have been best of friends.While Silver and I reconciled and were close again.Of course, Chloe and Lucas tried to sabotage my wedding, but thanks to Maya, who requested that I tighten the security at the wedding, Chloe’s plans didn't succeed.After I was done reminiscing about these past years, I continued with the documents I was trying to sort out when my phone began ringing, and I smiled when I saw that it was Maya calling.“Hey honey, what’s up?” I answered the call with a smile, but my smile froze when I heard the way she sounded.“I went to pick up Jaden and Janelle, but the teacher told me that 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
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
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 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 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
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
