Elena's jaw dropped in surprise. The revelation left her speechless and bewildered. She had no idea why Liam would claim her as his wife when their relationship was nothing more than a forced arrangement. The audacity of his statement only fueled her frustration and sense of helplessness.

The chief air hostess looked obviously taken aback by Liam's response, her surprise evident on her face. She quickly composed herself, maintaining her professional demeanor. With a hint of confusion in her expression, she addressed Liam, "Oh, Liam, I'm surprised to hear that you settled down and got married. It's good to see you happy."

Liam simply smirked, giving nothing away. "Life is full of surprises," he replied cryptically.

The air hostess smiled warmly at Elena, trying to hide her bewilderment. "Well, congratulations to both of you! Have a great trip to Thailand," she said, maintaining her pleasant tone.

Elena nodded nervously, still reeling from the unexpected lie Liam had told. She threw a q

    It was a familiar pattern – Liam's tendency to ignore or dismiss her questions, leaving her to deal with the uncertainty of his intentions. She adjusted her glasses and gathered her tablet, her mind already shifting to the task of sending the schedule to his email.She quickened her steps to match Liam's, feeling like she was constantly playing catch-up in this whirlwind of a journey. As they entered the lobby, the sense of grandeur only intensified. The marble floors beneath her feet seemed to echo with every step, reminding Elena of the divide between her and the world she was now a part of.Elena followed behind Liam, her steps echoing in the grandeur of the hotel's lobby. Her breath caught as her eyes took in the breathtaking beauty and opulence of the interior design. Chandeliers hung from the high ceiling, casting a soft, golden glow that illuminated the marble floors and intricate décor. The walls were adorned with exquisite artwork, and plush seating arrangements invited guest

    Elena's heart skipped a beat, her eyes widening in astonishment at the unexpected words. The note held a weight that reverberated through her, sending a surge of emotions coursing through her veins. The term "wife" was one that hadn't fully registered until now, and the sudden realization of its implication left her momentarily speechless.Her mind raced as she glanced back at the gown in her hands, her thoughts swirling with questions and confusion. The elegant attire before her was more than just a dress—it was a symbolic gesture that seemed to carry a deeper meaning, one that Elena was struggling to comprehend.She stared at the note for a moment longer, as if the words would somehow reveal their hidden meanings. With a mixture of uncertainty and intrigue, Elena set the note down on the bed beside the gown. Her gaze lingered on the elegant writing before she took a deep breath, her mind a flurry of questions and emotions.Elena's fingers brushed the smooth fabric of the cloth as sh

    A chauffeur in a pristine uniform opened the car door, and Elena hesitated for a moment before cautiously sliding into the comfortable seat of the expensive vehicle. "Good evening, ma'am," the chauffeur greeted her with a nod as he closed the door.Elena managed a tight smile. "Good evening."The leather felt plush against her skin as she settled in, her fingers grazing the soft leather seats almost reverently. As Elena settled into the comfortable seat of the red convertible, her heart began racing as she noticed that Liam was seated beside her. His gaze was glued to his phone, his fingers tapping away at the screen in a rhythm she knew all too well. The distant look in his eyes made it clear that he was absorbed in whatever he was doing, not sparing her a single glance.Her breath caught in her throat, a mix of emotions swirling within her. As the car began to move, Elena felt a slight tug of disappointment. She had taken care to dress up, to put in the effort to look pretty, yet

    Elena's anger was a boiling cauldron, threatening to spill over as she walked away from Liam's presence. She could feel the eyes of stares from onlookers, their curious gazes like prying fingers that only fueled her frustration. But she didn't care. She was done with playing the perfect companion to Liam's whims.Trying to compose herself, Elena took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling in an attempt to regain her composure. She clenched her fists at her sides, her nails digging into her palms, as if the physical pain could somehow distract her from the anger boiling within.She needed an outlet, a way to release the torrent of feelings that was building inside her. Her fingers fumbled as she pulled out her phone, hastily scrolling through her contacts until she found the one she needed: Rosa, her best friend.With a quivering breath, Elena pressed the call button. After a few rings, Rosa's voice came through the line, her tone immediately concerned. "Elena, what's wrong?"The s

    Elena stumbled to her feet, gathering her purse and the remains of herself. The car didn't look like it was going to move again. She had seen this before, knew this gesture and the pain it always brought her. No. She wasn't going to fall for this again.Smith, her ex-boyfriend, was the worst thing that had happened to her. He vowed to follow her to the ends of the Earth, and he was doing just that. Imagine a man who stormed into her office during one of her interviews with a potential client and grabbed the man by the collar. Threatening he'd kill him if he found him anywhere near his girlfriend.On another occasion, she had lodged in a hotel in a far away country and from the opposite hotel window, she saw a cardboard box with a handwriting. "YOU WON'T BE SO LONELY TONIGHT, I PROMISE."She fled the hotel the next day.There were no bounds to what Smith would do to her if he laid hands on her. From trying to force hard drugs into her mouth, to raping her, and slapping her face. "How co

    "Are you going with me or not?" Liam asked Elena when she hesitated."I am, but you need to relax," she said."I need to relax?" His voice was rising now. "You're telling me to my face that I need to relax? Look, I don't have the social madness to shout my lungs out here. Get into the car."As Elena was pulled into the car, she heard Stephan's voice call out behind her. "You never told me you had a husband." He sounded betrayed. "That's so unfair, if you ask me."She had no time to respond, for Liam had slammed the doors of his car, given Stephan a deadly look and turned on the ignition. Throughout the drive, a pulsing silence prevailed in the car. Each person fumed and frothed. Words and armory flew around in their heads, threatening to spill over the dashboard in red.When the car pulled to a stop, Liam left Elena behind and walked into the hotel. She nodded severally at this gesture, feeling the anger sizzle in her chest. But she was going to keep the words forming in her mouth to

    Elena got dressed and waited for Liam downstairs in the hotel lobby. She was in a purple gown and cover shoes, the traditional secretary way. She smiled at herself.Her face dampened when she heard the familiar thud of footsteps walking towards her. She knew those sounds.Liam appeared at the door, and Elena sucked in air at the sight of him. He was in sparkling white three-piece suits and his hair was curled up quite prettily. Elena was ready to begin her apology. "Good morning, sir," she said, reaching out to take his briefcase and outer coat, but he brushed past her and made straight for the car. A convoy of seven black cars was lined up, waiting for them.Elena stood there for a while, her hands still stretched out. Her mind could hardly grapple with the humiliating reaction from her boss. Finally, she collected herself and walked to Liam's car, sitting in the back with him. For a second, she entertained a fear that he'd ask her to get out of the car. But gratefully, he didn't.

    Elena's heart pounded in her chest as she reluctantly followed Liam into the wedding dress shop. She was seething with anger, her cheeks flushed with resentment as they entered the store. She couldn't believe she was here, in a place that symbolized everything she didn't want—forced into an arranged marriage with her rude and arrogant boss, Liam Hemsworth. Liam, walking several steps ahead of Elena, appeared completely nonchalant, his hands casually tucked into the pockets of his designer suit. He glanced back at her briefly, his eyes flickering with mild curiosity but devoid of any sympathy or understanding.Inside, the shop was a sanctuary of lace, tulle, and satin. A delicate fragrance of flowers and fabric wafted through the air. Rows of pristine white wedding gowns lined the racks, each one more extravagant than the last.A shop assistant approached with a friendly smile, oblivious to the tension in the air. "Good afternoon. How can I assist you today?" She said in native Thai la

    Liam listened to Ethan's lawyer speak. There was a dying flicker of hope in his voice. He had long lost the battle, and the jurors weren't listening to him anymore. But he tried his last weapon: appeal for leniency.And for the record, not long ago, Ethan had been sentenced to twenty-five years in prison, and a wave of terror and silence had coursed through the hundreds of people gathered there.In the offender's box Ethan stood, a shadow of his former self. It was a week since his arrest. And even though his mother, through his plea and Liam's mercy, had been set free on bail, Ethan couldn't get his doom over his head. Liam watched him closely, at his overgrown beards, his unkempt hair, the blood in his eyes. "Your honor," the counsel said, "I understand the seriousness of my client's crime, and I do not condone it. However, I would like to ask for leniency in sentencing. My client has no previous criminal record, and I believe that a sentence of 25 years is excessive. A reduced sen

    After the incident with Plum, she became a ghost in the mansion. Elena looked everywhere for her, casually sent other maids to find her, but Plum was always where they had not been.When a maid said she heard her crying in a restroom situated in the basement, Elena ran to the basement. When she got there, the crying had stopped. There was a deep silence. "Break the door open!" Elena shouted with a sense of dread and urgency.The maid went for it, but the door wasn't locked. She opened it and Plum was not there anymore. But Elena had the gut feeling that she was still around there, somewhere."Look, Plum, I know you can hear me," Elena called out, "Whatever game you think you are playing, whatever stunt you want to pull by this shit, would not work. Not in my house. Okay?"She was met with even deeper silence. Her anger built up. "If you want to go crazy, my dear, you can send in your resignation letter, and I'll see you off to the gates myself! Then you can wield your insanity to its

    "I don't know how to describe how happy I am," Liam said, "hearing you're pregnant."Elena frowned, as she remembered something. "No, boo, you certainly knew what you were doing. Why didn't you let us have sex all this while?"She saw Liam frown. "Oh, really? I didn't really think about it that way. I was only having fun." He turned to her. "You wanted a baby, too?""I guess as at then," she said, "I didn't. It's all changed now. Then, I only wanted to enjoy this" — she reached out to touch and caress his flaccid dick lying on his belly — "to the fullest. Wanted to suck out every juice you could ever produce.""Eww, I don't produce juice," Liam laughed. "You do.""Let's see who gives the juice first!"she declared, sitting up. Liam was grinning too, perhaps wondering how he got so lucky with a wife who was both an introvert and a sexual creative."What are you trying to do?" he asked, feigning suspicion."How would you like your blowjob? Fast and aggressive, or slow and deep.""This lo

    When Liam told Elena to go upstairs, so he would handle his family, she was filled with dread. Not by what the family would to to her as revenge, but for what Liam would do to them. There was so much anger and bitterness in his voice. His eyes were dark and revengeful.And when she passed through their midst, her heart beat with doubled pace. In her room, she couldn't sit quietly. She peeked from the window, saw her husband raving, commanding so much power that even the birds in the sky didn't as much as flicker their wings.She didn't hear some of what was what said, but she picked out the key phrases. And she couldn't help but marvel at the extent her husband was ready to go in his revenge.Not once did she try to interfere, by either calling him on phone to interrupt him, or call his name from the balcony. But she held her reins. Their altercation skyrocketed to a climax, when the gates opened and police sirens filled the air. The police cars rolled into the compound, and everyone

    "Liam, you cannot do this to your brother!" Ethan's mother shouted the moment Liam stepped out of the car. "You cannot claim to love him and do this wicked thing to him.""Is he even listening to you?" Mr Paul asked. "He doesn't even remember who you are, talk more of Ethan."Liam allowed his eyes skim through the men and women gathered in front of his mansion. It was just as Chris told. They weren't even sitting. Only his father, whose health was seriously on the decline, was on a chair just behind them, smoking a pipe.Mr Paul spoke again about Liam. "See how he mopes listlessly? I tell you, what he should work on firstly is recovering —""Every dime you all have looted from my company while I was away," Liam cut in, blending in so well that the effect of his statement was an astounded silence.They didn't respond for a while. Maybe they thought not responding would help prove how much of a clueless man Liam was. But Liam had this all prepared. "Hey, El," Liam said to his wife besi

    Elena saw the flash from behind Luke. It happened so fast. First, a clean hole on the roof appeared, accentuated by a flash of light. Something metallic hit a pan, bounced off and went through Luke's stomach. Elena heard the bullet — or whatever it was — wheeze past her ear. Her hairs stood on edge.Before her, Luke still stood with his penis in his hand, but a new hole on his chest. He didn't fall immediately, but when there were movements from the roof, he did fall.Elena saw them descend like black angels from the rooftop, or anywhere they might have come from. They were clothed in black, regaled in darkness. Their eyes were flashes of stealth, precision and ruthlessness. In their hands were stout guns, poised to end in a instant the life of anyone who tried to play smart. The red dots of their targets were everywhere on Ethan and his men's clothes. Ethan had more dots."Freeze," a voice said again. "We shall not hesitate to kill whoever moves a muscle."Ethan yelped and tried to

    "You see what's inside?" Ethan asked."Ethan, what is the meaning of this?" Liam asked through the phone."I asked, what is inside!""An agreement for transfer of ownership, Liam whispered."That's right. I want you to sign the paper and place it back into the case. I'll get the notification here if that has been done."There was a prolonged silence from Liam's side. Ethan idly shook his feet which were propped on a table. Then he looked to his right to see Elena, tied to a chair. She had long stopped crying now, and all that left her throat was a hollow moan.Ethan motioned to Luke and the four other men who were with him in that underground. "Take the gag off her mouth," he ordered.Liam heard this, and reacted immediately. "You gagged my wife?!" he shouted. "Ethan, you had the temerity to put a gag on Elena's mouth?"Ethan chuckled. "Oh. Look who's hurt and shaky. But that's not even all." He glanced over to see Elena immediately double up to throw up. Ethan smiled and turned back

    Liam sat there, gasping, and moving his head back and forth. A lot was going on in his brain, in his mind and heart. He could feel each throb, bringing back with it a cascade of memories."Where's Elena?" he asked himself, remembering he had a wife, who he had been treating like trash. She was right, after all! Liam's hands began to shake against the wheel. The world seemed to slow down around him."Where are Charlie, Olive and James?"The name Charlie stuck to his mind. Charlie. The last image he remembered of him was when he was down on the alley, being pumped by bullets, shaking.He had done that to save him.Liam swallowed and glanced away. The tears that streamed from his eyes had become heavy. Flowing from the depth of his soul. His nose ran freely.Charlie had given himself for him.Liam's thoughts were violently interrupted by a blast on his windshield. He turned to see his chasers lined up shoulder to shoulder, their guns raised to their eyes. They began to fire bullets on L

    Liam stared at the man standing before him, anger and frustration in Liam's face. Something was seeping into his brain. He was trying hard to remember who the man was. And he was so close to it!"Here are pictures of us," Charlie said, showing him a screen full of pictures. Liam recognized himself in the pictures. But the man next to him... Good heavens.They were standing under the shade of a random tree in the streets. Liam had no idea how Charlie had found him there. Liam was about concluding his arrangements for the soldiers to go arrest Ethan. "I'm trying," Liam finally admitted. "I do recognize myself, but it is like looking into a photoshopped picture. I can't explain how this is happening."Charlie's face was kind. "I understand. The doctor gave us a forewarning, so I really understand. You're already doing great. I just want to be by your side.""Why?" Liam asked."Because the men who had tried to killer you are back again."Liam's eyebrows crinkled. "What sre you talking ab
