Emma went to her office and started working on building a new software. She had worked on a project which she was assigned to, but she was trying to do something else. It might be a surprise to them, but she hoped that they would like it. She was also planning on making an app for the company. Though it already had an app of its own, she wanted to make something more creative. She would show all the ideas to Liam, once she was finished with everything. Liam was a nice person, that was what she discovered while talking to him. He owned such a huge company, and she thought that he would be arrogant, though she knew how to handle arrogant people. It was nice to have someone as attentive and polite as him.The thought of him made Emma suddenly recall Elizabeth's reaction to seeing her with Liam. “Did she have to hug him like that?” Emma asked, and a laugh escaped her lips. The funniest part was the expression on Liam's face, like he needed help; he also refused to hug her back, whic
Emma's eyes widened in shock as he kissed her lips. She tried pushing him away, but he was stronger than she, and her arms had been pinned to the car by him. Alex pressed his lips harder on hers, he opened his mouth slightly and sucked her lips. It had been four years apart, but her lips were soft as before. They still tasted the same. Disgust was an understatement of what Emma was feeling. It felt like a million ants were crawling on her skin. The feeling made her skin fill with goosebumps and her stomach churn.It felt like the whole system was disorganized, her stomach kept churning because of the nervousness that wrecked her. She tried moving her legs to hit him in the groin, but like the expert that he was, he pinned her legs with his knees, making it impossible for her to move them. Emma remained helpless, he was stronger than her and more shrewd. She couldn't escape from him. He tried forcing his tongue into her mouth, but she refused to open up. She still remembered all h
“An employee??” Elizabeth's eyes widened before she burst into laughter. “What will you do there? You might have a certificate with a 'pass' as a result, but that's not good enough for Brooke's Tech.” “You said that you wanted an idea, and I've brought one, why are you in opposition to it?” Alex asked and stared down at her cleavages that popped out of her dress. He grasped her waist with one hand and pulled her close to himself.“Let go of me. I'm sure this is exactly how you acted towards her, and you expect her to pay attention to you or treat you like a sane person. You're just good at ruining things.” Elizabeth glared at him and tried removing his hand from her waist.“You don't want me in the company because you find me irresistible, right?” Alex smirked, confidently. Elizabeth stared at him in disbelief. They haven't had anything going for years, she simply contacted him again because of Emma. “You're being delusional. We might have had something going on in the past, but t
“You can lick my pussy all you want, but you're not getting a job at that company,” Elizabeth responded and closed her legs. She rolled her eyes and sat up. Alex stared at her angrily. “So, how do you expect me to be close to her? That's the only way I can think of. She doesn't want anything to do with me.” Elizabeth glared at him and stood to her feet, she went to take her panties that lay on the floor. “It's not my fault that you didn't know how to be charming to her. You could have gotten her some flowers or something romantic that could make her realize how sorry you are. I'm tired of telling you what to do. I thought you were wiser.” She said and hissed at the end of her statement. Alex sighed and folded his arms on his chest. He was upset by everything, especially Elizabeth's unwillingness to help him. “Fuck.”He sighed again and took his hands to his hair. He ruffled it and frowned deeply. “You always talk with that stupid Liam, can't you help me get the job? You can sa
Liam felt heartbroken and dejected. He didn't expect her to reject him so soon and directly, she looked so emotionless about it. Liam wondered what he had done to make her react that way. He thought that everything was going well between them, but now, every nice thought he had has crumbled before his face. Last night, he researched the best restaurant where he could take her to. He had been thinking of how to approach her, acting in the bathroom like a teenager in love. All his efforts and nervousness were for nothing. She still walked away and unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't force her to like him, it was his fault for falling in love at first sight. She had no blame for his disappointment. Taking a deep breath, he loosened his tie like it was suffocating him. He walked away from that spot and went to his office. He stayed in his office and tried distracting himself with work, but her cold words kept echoing in his mind. They felt like a knife
Elizabeth's smile broadened as he gave her a positive response. It had been such a long time since he ever told her yes or decided to spend time with her. It was shocking yet pleasing and exciting. She wished that she had tried the emotional blackmail before, she would have had him wrapped around her fingers before the arrival of Emma. 'That bitch is trying to not steal what's mine but look now, he wants to have dinner with me. I'm so happy. We could get drunk later, and it might even lead to sex. I won't use any birth control and soon, a pregnancy would set in.' Elizabeth devised her plans inwardly. She was so thrilled about everything. “Thank you for accepting. This means a lot to me. It's been years since we ever talked this long or ate together. I'm surprised and delighted.” She said while playing with her fingers, trying to act cute and shy. Liam sighed, he hoped that she wasn't having any affectionate thoughts about him because he had no intention of fulfilling whatever fan
Elizabeth watched her for a few more seconds, but fortunately, the secretary assigned to her came knocking on her door. Startled by the knock, Elizabeth pretentiously went to Emma and acted like she was calling for help. Hearing the screams, the secretary barged in and was stunned to see Emma in such a state. The ambulance was called, and the secretary guessed that it was an allergic reaction because she had just received flowers. Fortunately, the ambulance came in time and she was taken away for treatment. Elizabeth watched as the ambulance bus departed from the company. A smirk appeared on her lips, she had wished that Emma died. The plan wasn't to kill her but seeing her battling to stay alive gave Elizabeth this happiness that she never thought she would feel. The feeling was so satisfying but now, the expectation had been cut short, Anyway, Emma would be stuck in the hospital for some time and that would give her the chance to get closer to Liam. The plan was to act as sup
“She's what?” Liam screamed out and gripped the doctor's collar. “Doctor, what did you just say?” his heart filled with despair.Liam felt the same way when his parents died, he was left with nobody apart from a few relatives. He missed his parents day and night, and till now he still spoke of them like they were alive. Hearing that death had snatched another person he loved, completely crushed his soul. He fell in love with Emma at first sight, to him, she was the most beautiful woman ever and despite her assumed betrayal, his feelings for her haven't changed. “Emma!” Liam yelled, pushing the doctor aside as he ran towards the emergency ward. He barged in, only to see the room divided by a curtain.On one side of the room was a woman lying motionless on the bed, but on the other side, another doctor was still attending to a certain person. “That's not Emma,” Liam muttered and went to the other side to see Emma being attended to by the doctor and nurses, she hadn't been transferred
“What I'm feeling is none of your business. Just let me out of this place already! Love is by choice, not force!” Emma cried out and hoped that her bodyguards would find her.“You're going to understand the kind of love I have for you after we get married,” Jacked beamed psychotically, his eyes devilishly scrutinizing her body. “The baby will be aborted after we get married,”Emma gasped, and her hands protectively covered her stomach.“I have to endure his children in our home, I won't bear to raise another one,” Jackson snarled, his eyes darkening at her.“I'll kill you if you try to touch my baby,” Emma threatened, tears brimming in her eyes.“You can try. I love it when you're so rough with me,” He laughed like a maniac.'Liam, please find me. I think the pregnancy made me emotional and now, I have committed a huge mistake. Please save me,' Emma cried inwardly.“A man is coming to get you ready for the wedding. I'll get ready too, see you till then,” Jackson winked at her and left
“Thank you for sending your men to help me, those bodyguards of hers were close to catching me,”Emma heard her father's voice but found it difficult to open her eyes.The next voice she heard was quite unfamiliar.“Well, you made a drastic move to bring my happiness to me. Why wouldn't I help you?” The man responded to Mr. Crown.“May I ask what your name is?” Mr. Crown inquired, his curiosity piqued.“My name is Jackson Taylor,” He responded.The mention of the last name 'Taylor', made Emma more eager to snap out of her unconsciousness. Fortunately, her body cooperated and her eyes slowly opened.Her vision was blurry at first, but within a few seconds, it cleared. She surveyed her environment and saw that she was in someone's sitting room.She darted her gaze to the two men seated on the couch. Anger surged through her when she saw Mr Crown.“You told me that you were having a heart attack!” Emma cried out as she felt a sharp pain in her head.“I am sure that you would have been pl
Emma awakened and found herself in her room. “Honey, are you okay?” Liam asked, his voice full of concern.“Mommy, how do you feel?” Alden asked, holding his mother's hand.Emma groaned a bit and slowly sat upright.“I'm okay,” Emma replied as she saw the worried expressions on their faces.“Are you sure that you're fine, or should I call the doctor?” Liam asked.“Hey, don't make things more complicated. Which doctor would want to come all the way here to examine me?”“There's nothing that money can't do. I can even give him or her a free ride on my yacht,” Liam responded, unconvinced by her positive response. “Mummy, Daddy is right. A doctor should check if you are truly alright or not. We don't want you to fall sick,” Alden muttered and hugged his mother.“I don't want you to be ill either,” Aziel said, resting his head on her lap.Emerald was beside her father, hiccuping. She was so scared when she saw her mother unconscious on the floor. It was her screams that alerted her fathe
Over the weekend, Liam and his family headed to his private island to have some fun. They went via a chopper that Liam had purchased.As they arrived at the Island, they stepped out of the chopper and watched it fly away with the pilot.“Bye,” Emerald smiled, waving at the chopper.“The pilot isn't going to see you, stop waving,” Aziel scoffed.“I wasn't waving at the pilot,” Emerald retorted, continuing to wave to annoy her brother.“Follow me,” Liam said and began walking away.Emma and the kids followed him into the mansion that was situated on the island. The kids were so excited to play and make sand castles when they returned to the shore.“This mansion is beautiful,” Emma commented, having her seat beside Liam. “Yes, it is,” Liam smiled, glancing around. “It has been a while since I've been here,” “Sophia would have loved to come,” Emma said, referring to the Nanny. “I'm sure that she's happy about taking a break. I also believe that we should spend some quality time with ou
Mr. Crown hung up the phone and began lamenting.“What am I going to do now? I haven't thought of anything yet,” Mr. Crown muttered, his voice laced with worry. “How am I going to tear them apart? I've used almost every means I know, but they've remained madly in love. What could I do to change that? Is there anything that can make their love fade away?”“Even if they break up, how am I going to force Emma to get married to a stranger? She's no longer a kid, and she doesn't want to see me either.” Mr. Crown muttered, unable to think of anything that could help him.“I am as good as dead if I don't get this done,” Mr. Crown lamented, his eyes stinging with tears. “What have I gotten myself into?”He darted his teary gaze upstairs and said, “I could have asked for her help or ideas, but she's not in the state of mind to respond to me,”“I can't let that man pressure me into doing anything. I've got to relax and think carefully about my next steps,” Mr. Crown said, sucking in a deep brea
Emma clenched her fists and darted her gaze to the shattered vase. She looked at her stepmother again, and anger surged through her veins.“I can't believe that I was feeling sorry for you and your daughter,” Emma gasped, shocked by her own emotions. “I have been tormented from the moment that you came into this house and your daughter set me up and almost ruined my life,”Emma took a step forward, but Liam held her back.“I've got this,” Emma muttered and gently removed her hand from his grip. She walked to her stepmother and snarled coldly, “I shouldn't pity you. You deserve whatever is happening to you right now. Your daughter also deserved to die, I wish her death were more painful,”“You bitch,” Mrs. Crown raised her hand to slap Emma, but Emma grabbed her hand before it struck her face.Without thinking twice, Emma slapped her so hard that she was knocked down to the floor.“Your daughter has tried killing me more than once. She tried using my allergies against me, she almost d
“Ahhh!!” Elizabeth screamed as fell off the rooftop.Liam stretched his hand to catch her, but he was too late. Her body dropped to the floor with a loud thud and her skull broke.Liam gasped at the horrific sight as blood gushed from her broken head. He heard Emma's gasps from behind, she looked so shaken.“Oh my…God,” Emma shuddered, her hands flew to her mouth in shock. “Oh, my goodness!!!” She let out a scream and tears slipped from her eyes.She shouldn't be crying over someone who had tried so many times to ruin her life, but she couldn't help it. Everything happened too suddenly.“Liam, what…are we going to do? Is she dead?” Emma asked, tears rolling down her cheeks.“Yes, she's dead,” Liam replied, a hint of sadness in his voice.He was unhappy that the poor baby lost its life. It might not have been his child, but he didn't wish for any of this to happen.“Liam, we might get blamed for her death. Are there no cameras around here?” Emma asked, looking around.“There are no cam
They broke the hug and smiled at each other.“Let's have some lunch,” Vanessa proposed and rubbed her stomach. “I'm so famished,”Emma chuckled and folded the DNA result into her bag.“Let's go,” Emma said and they exited the hospital.They boarded a cab and Vanessa told the name of the restaurant to the cab driver.“Bring your phone. I need to send the pieces of evidence to you,” Vanessa muttered and extended her hand.With a smile on her lips, Emma gave her phone to her. Vanessa transferred the details and returned the phone to Emma.“I might head to the police station and give them the details of the doctor, so if anything happens to me, they would know whom to arrest,” Vanessa said, her voice laced with a hint of fear.“He's not going to do anything to you. But it wouldn't do any harm to protect yourself. Thank you so much for confronting him on my behalf. I have been stressed, and it was quite shocking to learn that he faked the results. I was speechless,” Emma laughed lightly.“
Emma was shocked by the doctor's response. Though she wasn't surprised that Elizabeth would do something like that, she didn't expect the doctor that Liam spoke so reputedly about to be a partner in her evil.“I can't believe this,” Vanessa gasped. “Weren't you concerned about the damage the DNA result could do? How could you be so heartless?”The doctor lowered his head and released a sigh.“I'm sorry,” He apologized.“Emma, let's go,” Vanessa muttered and held her hand.As both of them walked to the door, the doctor stopped them.“Wait,”Emma and Vanessa halted their steps and slowly turned to him.“What about the money?” the doctor asked, stunning both of them.“You greedy bastard!” Vanessa raised her voice in anger. “How can you expect another payment after what you did? You should be stripped of your license for your actions!”“I told you the truth because you promised to pay me double of anything that Elizabeth paid me. You should keep to your part of the deal,” The doctor insis
