Chapter 67 Liam took a few seconds to scan her from her wet hair, down to her toes which had the hair clinging tightly to her skin, and for a moment, dirty thoughts came conflicting in his mind. Well, seeing her in Jeff's cloth was even more annoying, and he fumed inside. "Baby, can you wait for me inside? I need to talk to Uncle Liam," She smiled at Nancy. "Alright, Mommy. Good night, Daddy," Nancy smiled and waved at him, once again shocking her Mom with that name, but she tried to hold back her curiosity and the urge to question her. Nancy soon left them alone, so she turned and faced him. "What the hell was that?" She fired at him, and he sighed briefly. "What's wrong with taking my daughter out to have fun? I've brought her back, so..." "Who permitted you to take my daughter without my consent? I told you to stay the hell away from us. What do you think you are doing?" Again, she raised her voice at him, and he sighed again. "I told you that I'm
Chapter 68 It was a beautiful Tuesday morning, and as usual, Aliyah woke up early and got Nancy ready for school. "Do you want me to go drop her off at school and head to the office from there?" Jeff asked her as he watched her fix her shoes. "Don't worry. I need to see her class teacher, and it's going to take a few minutes, so you can go ahead without me. I will come to the company as soon as I'm done," She replied to him. "Alright. What about breakfast? You're not coming for it?" He asked, arranging the collar of his shirt. "I don't think I'll have breakfast before I leave for the office. I don't have an appetite, so I guess I would have to grab breakfast on my way," She replied to him, and he nodded his head. She was finally done fixing her shoes, so she stood up. She was clad in a beautiful red short clingy gown that revealed her sexy shape. Her hair was loosened and left falling down her shoulders. "Come here," He muttered, then pulled her close and
Chapter 69 "Mom! I told you I was going to handle this alone. Why did you go there? How did you even find out where she lives?" Liam ran his fingers through his hair, then paced restlessly, but his mom, who was sitting on the couch didn't seem to be bothered by his rants, and that even driving him crazier. "All I asked was to be given some time. What do you want her to think of me now? That I couldn't even win her back and had to ask my Mom for help?" He scoffed angrily, and this time, she was forced to raise her gaze from the newspaper she was reading. "You were going to handle it alone? Are you being serious right now, Liam? Five good years... You left her to herself for all those years and you think you can win her back? You need my help even if you're not saying it, so stop complaining while I'm cleaning your mess!" She snapped at him angrily as she rose to her feet, and he sighed briefly, sinking into the couch and burying his face between his palms. "Mom... I'
Chapter 70 "What are you saying?" Aliyah scoffed unbelievably. "I want Daddy. Tell Daddy to come here. I'm not coming home with you," She pouted her lips and whimpered. "You have to come with me, Nancy. Daddy is busy, and..." "Why did you tell him to stop coming here? I want to see him... I want to see Daddy," Again, she cried out, stomping her feet on the ground and she soon sat on the bare floor, rolling and crying out as if her favorite candy was just stolen from her, and Aliyah was left confused now. This wasn't something she could handle by just scolding her. Even if she wanted to do it, people were watching and they were definitely going to find out that something was happening. "Baby, can you stop, please? I'm going to call him for you on our way from here. Come with me, baby," Aliyah tried to console her, but she wouldn't budge. "Ma'am, I think you should call her Daddy to come over if she's being like this. I think she really wants to see her Dad,
Chapter 71 "Here's the file you asked me to send to your table, Sir," Jeff's secretary, Cassie said to him, but he was so lost in thoughts that he didn't hear her, until she knocked on his desk, pulling him out of his trance. "Are you ok, Sir? Is everything alright?" Cassie asked with concern, and he quickly nodded his head. "Yes, I'm fine. Drop it there," He said to her dismissively, and she nodded her head before she left his office, wondering what was wrong with him. Well, she shrugged off her concern and headed to her office, trying to mind her business. "You should just ask her what happened if you are curious to know about it. Why are you getting so disturbed about it?" He mumbled, reclining on the chair. He sighed. Seeing her in that condition hurts him, and he wished he could do something about it. "Maybe you should go talk to him. Who knows, maybe he will listen to you," He mumbled, then putting his mind to it, he stood up and strode out of his office,
Chapter 72 Aliyah POV My life has been nothing, but boring after all the shit that has been happening to me lately. Nancy is getting closer and closer to Liam every single day. Their bond is becoming stronger, and it hurts that Nancy now barely looks at me. She now prefers to spend more time with Liam, than with me. As much as I want to tell myself that it's ok, I couldn't still help the fear that's always consuming me every time I think about how she will react when she finally finds out that he's her Dad. Is he going to take her away from me then? That is my biggest fear and something I never want to come true. Staring back at me from the mirror is my reflection cladded in a short white gown that stopped just before my knees. My hair was packed up in a ponytail. I could say that I looked bright, sharp, smart, and beautiful. "Don't think about it and just stay focused, Aliyah. You have a meeting this morning," I said to myself. From the message I got earlier, I was to go to the Ha
Chapter 73 The atmosphere was awkward in the canteen. Aliyah regretted her decision of coming here. No matter how she wanted to maintain her confidence and keep up with this, seeing this man sitting in front of her was making her heart race fast and she was nervous. "Mommy, aren't you going to eat?" Nancy's voice pulled her out of her train of thought, and she smiled at her nervously. "No... I'm fine. I'm not..." "You are here to have lunch with the kid for the first time, why don't you eat with her?" Liam cuts her off, and she scoffed silently. "Yes, Mommy. Daddy is right. You should eat something," Nancy pouted her lips, and she smiled again. "Ok, baby," Her hand trembled as she carefully took the spoon and swallowed nothing. "Mom, this is my friend, Lisa. Lisa, this is my Mommy," Nancy introduced her friend to her, and she quickly dropped the spoon. "It's nice to meet you, dear. You are cute," she said to Lisa. "Thank you, ma'am," Lisa replied to her. "Mommy, Lisa can knit
Chapter 74 Liam POV 'Don't come to Nancy's school. I already went to pick her up' when I got that message earlier, I drove to the school and found out that they were already gone, so I tracked her location to where she was at the time, and for the rest of the day, I stalked them. I followed them secretly to the restaurant, then to the ice cream store, and to the park. I had to turn back when they started going home. Going home was the last thing on my mind because I didn't want to get frustrated by Mom, so I drove to the park to clear my head and get some rest. My life was like a living hell. I have everything at my disposal. Money? I have it, cars? It was the least of my problem, house? Don't even think about it. Even with all those luxuries, I still didn't have a happy life. Nothing seemed to be working for me. "What should I do?" I asked aloud as if I was talking to someone. "Just start all over again if you don't know what to do," It felt like a voice spoke in my head, but I
