Liam’s POV

“When you left… the man I bumped into at the gala… he came into my room,” she finally managed to say.

I was furious, but I kept my anger in check and nodded for her to continue.

“He wouldn’t stop calling me Tessa…” She said that name with bitterness, and I found myself swallowing hard. “He said I was using you to get back at him… and… and…”

“And what?”

She closed her eyes as if summoning the courage to go on. “He… he touched me,” she said, and a sad sigh escaped her lips.

“He touched you?” I snarled through clenched teeth, and she flinched again.

Fuck.

“No! No…” she rushed to say, shaking her head as tears welled up in her eyes. “Not like that. He just… held me. His hands were on my shoulders, and he… he kissed my neck.” Her voice cracked, and she looked away. “But even then… it felt…” She stopped, a small sob slipping out as the tears finally began to fall. “It felt disgusting.”

I gently brushed her arm as she sobbed, trying to calm the raging storm inside me.

    Tessa/Emma POVFor over a week after that incident with the strange man, I started having weird dreams. But whenever I woke up, it was impossible to piece them together. It was like knowing you forgot something but not what it was. The feeling stayed, but the dream itself was just… gone.Thank God for Liam. He had been patient with me, always by my side, reassuring me that everything was okay. With his help, I finally got better and returned to my old self.But then something happened at work, and Liam had to return, leaving me alone in the big mansion. Well, not completely alone—Mrs. Keller was still around. Lila also had an art class that Wednesday, so the house felt quieter than usual. And honestly? It was so boring.I lay on the couch, lazily scrolling through social media when a cooking video caught my attention. The dish looked amazing, but what really made me pause was the name.Chicken Marsala.It was Liam’s favorite dish.I remembered him mentioning how much he liked it once,

    Tessa/Emma pov Earlier that day… The woman in the video had said I should wear a red lingerie set. Holding my phone in one hand, I walked over to my closet, skimming through my clothes, but none of them were sexy enough—nothing like what the woman in the video had suggested. “What to do… what to do?” I muttered, pacing back and forth. I couldn’t ask Mrs. Keller or any of the other maids to help me with this; that would be way too awkward. And I certainly couldn’t leave the mansion without Liam knowing—no, that would ruin the surprise. I sighed in frustration and flopped down on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. Then, with a shrug, I clicked on a website and found an online store that sold lingerie. Maybe this would work after all. After scrolling for about 10 minutes, I finally found the perfect set. Liam had given me a personal black card, which I eagerly used to place the order. It wasn’t exactly what I had planned, but it would do. Once I was done, I went downstairs to star

    Liam pov. She was trying so damn hard that I had to stop myself from smiling. Wanting to see how far she would go. I won’t lie, every movement she made made my chest tighten. And yet, I couldn’t help but think how cute it was that she was working so hard for my attention. I wasn’t complaining… hell, not one bit… but it was clear she didn’t know what she was getting herself into. I could feel my cock getting harder with every inch she moved closer. The way her fingers brushed my skin and the way her lips parted. Fuck, she was testing me, and I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or lose it. She thought she could make me lose control with a few sweet little moves? Cute. It was cute. But she had no idea how much I’d been holding back for months. Still, I decided to play along, but the second her lips touched mine… everything snapped. I didn’t give a damn about holding back anymore. She pulled back with a smug smile. “You wish. I…” I didn’t let her finish. I grabbed her and crushed m

    Tessa POV I held the pregnancy test result in my hands, smiling with joy. After two long years of trying, I was finally pregnant. I couldn't wait to tell my husband. I picked up my phone to call him, but then I thought it would be better to share the news in person. That evening, I changed into a flowy white dress, wanting everything to be perfect. I cooked his favorite dinner—roast chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy—and set the table with candles and our best plates. The clock hit 7:00 p.m., the time he usually arrived. I paced nervously in the living room, rehearsing what I would say to him. For the past two years, things had been difficult between us. His anger toward me had grown, especially with the pressure to have a child. Every failed attempt seemed to drive us further apart. There were nights he barely spoke to me, mornings when he left without a word. This pregnancy felt like my only chance to repair our relationship. 7:30 p.m. passed. Then 8:00 p.m. I checked

    I opened my eyes, a dull hum from machines filling the room. My stomach hurt. For a second, I couldn't remember how I got here. Then, I remembered—the blood, the floor, the coldness as I begged for help. A nurse stood beside me, adjusting the IV in my arm. She glanced at me, clearly surprised I was awake. "How's my baby?" I asked quietly, the only thing that mattered right now. She froze, quickly averting her eyes. "Let me get the doctor," she muttered, rushing out of the room. Something wasn't right. The way she couldn't look at me. My hand instinctively went to my stomach, still sore but... empty. "No," I whispered, shaking my head. I was just overthinking. The doctor entered minutes later, clipboard in hand, wearing a serious expression. "Mrs. Matthews," he said softly, "I'm sorry. The baby didn't survive. The trauma and blood loss were too much. We did everything we could." My world stopped. My brain refused to process it. "No," I whispered. "You're wrong. My baby's fine.

    I could hear voices faintly in my sleep, like half-remembered dreams. I tried to focus, but they slipped away too fast. "She's stable now," a woman's voice said. Stable? That was good, right? Another voice followed, deep and calming, obviously a man. I couldn't make out his words, but his tone was soothing, like a blanket wrapping around me. I blinked, trying to make sense of everything. My throat was dry, and my body felt like it had been run over by a truck. When my vision cleared, I saw the man standing by the door, his back to me. Broad shoulders, dark hair curling slightly at the nape of his neck. He was speaking to someone, maybe a nurse? I couldn't catch what they were saying. The nurse nodded and left the room, leaving us alone. The man turned, and I froze. Wow. He was even better than I imagined. Sharp jawline, deep-set eyes, and a face that was tired but undeniably handsome. The kind of guy you'd see on a billboard for expensive cologne. We locked eyes, and he froze

    The driver opened the back seat door and bowed politely as I entered. I thanked him as I settled in, and Liam joined me soon after. I was finally discharged and going back home.The drive was long, and Liam stayed quiet for most of the journey. I tried striking up a conversation with him, but his replies were brief. I grew tired and eventually dozed off.I woke up when the car passed through the gates of a massive estate. My eyes widened as I stared at the imposing mansion before us. Several men in black suits stood outside, bowing as Liam exited the car."Do we really live here?" I asked, taking Liam's hand as he helped me out.He nodded, but I couldn't stop staring. What the hell did he do for a living? The number of men guarding the mansion told me Liam was no ordinary man.We walked toward the entrance, and the men parted to let us through."Welcome home, sir," one of them said.Liam nodded, his eyes scanning the area as if searching for something. We stepped inside, and I gasped.

    Over breakfast, I couldn’t stop smiling. Finally, I’d met my daughter. But Liam didn’t seem happy. He was quiet, pushing his food around instead of eating. I couldn’t stop watching him, trying to read his expression. I thought meeting Lila would be a celebration, but Liam’s discomfort was obvious. The tension from last night had carried over, and now it seemed like he was avoiding eye contact. “Is something wrong?” I asked, unable to stand the silence. Liam glanced up, then quickly looked away. “Nothing’s wrong. I’m just… tired.” “Tired?” I raised a brow. “You’ve barely said a word all morning.” He exhaled, pushed his plate aside, and stood up. “I’m not in the mood for a conversation right now, Emma.” I watched him walk away, my stomach tight. I should be the one mad at him for keeping me from Lila, but he acted like I was doing something wrong. I scoffed, trying to shake off my frustration. I wasn’t going to let it ruin my morning. I had finally met my daughter, and that was w

    Liam POV I spent the entire night completely restless. Turning and tossing as if my body couldn’t find peace. Sleep teased me, leaving me staring at the ceiling for hours. By the time the faint rays of sunlight flickered into the room, I gave up entirely. Sighing heavily, I got out of bed and took a quick shower to help me mask how jagged I looked but that did little to nothing. Staring at my reflection, I had now gathered dark circles under my eyes. When I finally made my way downstairs for breakfast, Mrs Keller greeted me with news I didn’t want to hear. “She hasn’t come down yet,” she said cautiously, her eyes studying me as if searching for answers. Immediately, I lost my appetite. The thought of food turned my stomach. Mrs. Keller continued to be persistent,she followed me as I sat on a table. “Liam,” she said softly, “what really happened last night?” I rubbed a hand over my face, the guilt pressing down like a weight I couldn’t lift. “I messed up,” I muttered.

    Liam's POV I messed up! My fists clenched as I shut the door behind me. Standing in front of it, I tried to calm myself, but the image of her terrified face kept replaying in my head. F**k! I messed up so bad. How could I let myself snap like that? Out of the corner of my eye, I felt someone watching me, but when I turned, no one was there. My jaw clenched in frustration. Pushing through the crowd, I ignored everyone who called my name as I hurried outside towards where my car was parked. But when I got there, my driver was nowhere to be found. I would’ve left without him, but he had the keys, which only made me more furious. I dialed his number multiple times, but it kept ringing without an answer. Gritting my teeth, I groaned and punched the air in frustration. On the fourth ring, he finally picked up. “Where the f**k are you?” I sneered, my voice dripping with anger. “I’m sorry, boss. I just stepped out to get something to eat and—” “Get your ass here in t

    “Ahh…” I cried out in pain, my knees bucked and I nearly lost my balance. Liam’s arms were around me instantly. I could see the worry in his eyes as he searched my face. “Emma, what’s wrong?” “I—” I winced, clutching my head. “I don’t know. Something… it feels like I should remember… but it hurts.” The harder I tried to grasp at the fleeting memory, the more it slipped away, like trying to catch smoke with my bare hands. “Don’t force it,” Liam said, his grip tightened protectively around me. “You’re okay.” But I wasn’t. I wasn’t okay. Before I could even attempt to steady myself, he swept me off my feet, cradling me against his chest. “I can walk…” I tried to protest, weakly pushing at his chest. “Stop arguing,” he said firmly, though there was an edge to his voice, like he was holding something back. “You’re not fine.” I let my head fall against him, my ear pressed to his chest, listening to his heart thudding faster than normal. He carried me through the c

    Tessa/Emma pov I had only been at the gala for ten minutes, and I was already regretting everything. Not because of Liam. No, his eyes had been on me the entire time. But because of her.The woman he couldn’t seem to stop talking to. She was annoyingly gorgeous—tall, blonde, the perfect picture of elegance. For some reason, she had been glued to Liam’s side all evening, laughing at everything he said, tilting her head in that coy, flirty way that made me want to roll my eyes. I should’ve known the dress wouldn’t be enough. They were talking about some business deal. So they were business partners, I scoffed silently, though my chest tightened at the thought of them spending most time together. As if to make things worse, they were laughing at some joke that wasn’t even funny and her hand lightly brushed his arm. I waited patiently, hoping Liam would introduce me into the conversation, but for some odd reason, he didn’t. I sighed, plastering a polite smile on my fac

    Liam’s POV The hotel room was cold and unwelcoming, but it was the only way I could escape. For over a week, I had been sleeping here, convincing myself it was the only option. Not that I wanted to be away from her…it was the exact opposite….but sharing a bed with Tessa was like torture. The last night we slept together, I nearly lost my mind. She had moved so much in her sleep, her hands constantly finding their way to me…resting on my chest, my stomach, even slipping down to places they had no business being. Every single time, my body betrayed me. I had gotten hard more times than I could count and my entire body burning from just her innocent touch. I had spent the whole night wide awake, forcing myself not to give in, to stay in control. It had been hell. Fucking hell on earth. If it happened again, I knew I wouldn’t be able to stop myself. And that… that wouldn’t be good for either of us. Not with the way things were. So I lied. I lied again. I know, I am pathetic. I t
