“You came?” Liam taps my shoulder in greeting when the session is over. It took a lot of courage for Katherine to step into the courtroom with so much confidence and I’m so proud of her. My plan was for her to know the whole truth when all this was over but after leaving the hospital when Nina was discharged, it occurred to me that someone could use the news against me before the trial so I sat her down to explain and to my shock, she was calm about it.

The man who dared attack Nina was being questioned and I hadn’t checked on how far they had gone or who sent him because of the trial.

“How could I not?” I chuckled lightly.

My phone vibrates and when I look at it, it’s a danger signal coming from Nina’s bracelet.”I have to go.” I stare at the screen as I try to look for her location. I turn to walk away but Liam stops me, “Where are you going?”

“Nina is in trouble. But don’t tell Emily, I’ll handle it.” I whisper as I run for the main door. I try to dial the number but it

    Emily “Do you have a moment?” Kate’s soft voice makes me turn around and I find her facing anywhere else but me. “Theo had to take care of something and I’m stuck.” She explains but the confused look on my face must give it away because she goes on to add. “Can I get a ride back?” she asks and the question hits me like a blow. In as much as I understood what she was going through, Kate was nothing but mean to me and her outburst during the wedding was the main contributing factor to the reason my license was taken away from me. I want to make it all go away, I do but the hurt in my heart suddenly returns as if someone has pressed a button. I continued to make that tonic because I had shut down the hurt I received and even though it was about Theo and Liam, I did it mostly for her. I wanted her better but I don’t think I had forgiven her for everything that happened and I don’t think now’s the time for me to talk with her. Alex had pulled us into an emergency meeting because William

    Emily. The drive was a silent one. It is only after I park outside their house that Kate finally speaks up “I know I have no excuse but I don’t regret my actions. I only regret the fact that I directed that energy to an innocent person. Victoria has been the only friend I’ve had since growing up and she was the last person I expected to do this. She’s uptight and rude but murder? That came as a blow to me. I’m very sorry Emily and I don’t expect you to forgive me but I hope you eventually find it in your heart.” As I watch her speak, my heart bleeds and hurts for her. I wanted to stay mad but Looking at how miserable she felt, I put myself in her shoes and pushed it aside. Kate was raised a princess and experiencing such a thing must have driven her crazy. I reach out and squeeze her hand. “It’s okay. We’re good.” I smile. “Please don’t do that, it will only make me feel worse.” Kate looks down in shame. I reach out to her and lift her chin with my forefinger. "It's okay, Kate,

    Liam “I’m so sorry for what you’re going through son. Let me know if there is anything else you need me to do just let me know. Emily is my daughter too and I want her image restored.” Dad says at the end of the line and I sigh heavily. “Thanks, Dad,” I respond then I cut the line. We had flown over to Seattle and thanks to my influence, I was able to postpone today’s hearing by two days. That is all the time I need to expose these bastards. After Alex and I flew to Seattle last night, Anderson called me asking where I was and that didn’t go very well I must say. “Don’t blow our cover just yet.” Alex rolls his eyes as he pulls over outside the hospital. The one Emily worked at before she moved to New York. “What makes you think that I’ll blow our cover?” I shrug. He shakes his head and chuckles as if I just made one of those dry Dad jokes. “Seeing that your temper is off the roof and you feel played, I don’t think we are safe.” I laugh as I start to walk towards the main entr

    Emily “Are you sure about this?” I ask Nina who just rolls her eyes at me and adds a middle finger. So vulgar! “I had a mental breakdown, Emily! I didn’t lose my hands and feet!” She groans as she takes the list from me which earns me a laugh from Kate and Lily. “At this rate, she will put you on her back!” They both laugh making me frown. It has been four days since the trial was finally over. Instead of being a witness, William was instead prosecuted and found guilty of assault and abuse of power. Victoria was also found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment with no access to bail. I don’t know how Liam did it but I just want to show my appreciation tonight and that is why I called the girls over, to help me shop for lingerie and other ingredients for a meal. Our kids are away and will be back soon so this is the only chance I have to do this. “What do you think about this?” I ask as I raise a red one in front of them and Lily whistles. She is the youngest and the most dr

    Nina My phone rings for the hundredth time and I stare at it sighing heavily before swiping right. “Hi.” I blush the irritation immediately vanishing at the sound of his voice. “Hey book princess.” comes Theo’s thick deep voice. I smile like a high school girl as I bite my bottom lip, “This is the hundredth time you’ve called me in less than an hour.” I tease making him chuckle. “Just checking on my favorite girl. Move in with me so that I won’t have to call every hour.” Theo suggests making me roll my eyes as I fight the butterflies growing in my stomach. I smile again while twirling a strand of my hair in my finger, brushing off the joke. "Nice try, Theo. But I'm not falling for that.” “You’re right. We first start with putting a ring on those gorgeous fingers before anything else.” He whispers making me clench my thighs together when I’m all alone in the kitchen. “Theo..” I trail off unsure what to respond to that. Is he joking or is he serious? Marriage to Theo Kingsley?

    Nina All my life I thought that what stops a heart from beating is when life is taken away but even as an Author, I never imagined that someone’s confession could stop you from breathing. I stare at the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen and when he tells me he loves me, my whole world shifts, and suddenly it feels like I’m floating. All the pain I was holding onto, suddenly becomes a cloud of certainty. I feel heartbroken for having lost my mother like that but heaven gave me a second chance and gave me a beautiful mother. If not for the triggers, I would still not have known about the adoption. This is how great my parents have been and that is something I shouldn’t throw away. This man holding me into his arms has reminded me of that, and as I look up at him a smile stretches across my face. “Thank you,” I whisper. He looks at me with a confused look which makes me smile even more. “I love you too,” I add which takes away the panic in his eyes. He later cooks me pasta and chicken

    Theo The past week has been full of meetings and as I suspected, my company needs cleaning too. I had a meeting with Liam where he gave me an update on his next move and what he intends on doing next and I must say, it’s truly remarkable. Victoria’s father was working with his daughter and now all we need to do is prove that and the rest will follow. “How do you plan on going through with this?” I ask Liam, sitting with his back laid back lazily looking at me like I just asked an obvious question. He chuckles darkly before responding, “They messed with my family, and framed my wife for murder. Do you think I sat back all these months and watched them flourish?” He raises his brow and I eye him suspiciously. “What have you been up to?” I ask and he shrugs. “The usual. Bought shares and had Smith kicked out and now I want him locked up right next to Sanderson and his useless son William. I will have them gone for a very long long time.” He stretches out the word long making me swal

    Theo “All we have to do is get three members of the board to agree with you and the change will be smooth.” John my lawyer explains and I nod. I have enough dirt on everyone so that should be an easy task but I don’t say that out loud. These are moves I keep hidden only for me. “I can work something out,” I respond and he nods. He goes on to explain the worst things that can happen to them through the law and I nod knowing if I have to decide between breaking it, I won’t even think twice about it. “Good, so we can start working on it tomorrow. But we need to do this without your uncle knowing so that it’s a surprise attack. If you have anything he can use against you, you need to tell me right now. I know about Kate-” But I cut him off, “Kate is safe. No harm will come to her.” I respond confidently when I remember how I almost skinned Alex alive for asking her out but Liam stepped in and assured me the guy was a good one and would keep my angel safe. “And?” John presses on as

    Hayden “ Come on we are going to be late guys, Kayden will start his presentation very soon.” I tap my fingers on the table impatiently. When we turned eighteen earlier this year, Kayden was finally able to get his tech company launched which we are all supposed to be attending but Mum and Dad seem to be having time in reverse. “We are coming! Pick Maya up please” Mum says and I roll my eyes. Maya may be my little sister but she can be annoying as hell as right now, I want to be on my best behavior because beauty will be there today. “No Mum, Maya will misbehave and I want to impress Beauty,” I complain earning a chuckle from Dad who walks towards me and ruffles my hair making my frown and irritation disappear. As Kyaden and I grow older, the more we look exactly like Dad so I’m even able to tell how I’ll look years from now and I must say, it’s not such a bad thing. “She will gain you more points. Women find men who babysit attractive.” Mum says but I shake my head. “You’re goi

    Three months later: Nina The church is decorated beautifully. There are white roses along the aisle, making it smell sweet. Candles have been lit, giving the church a warm glow. At the front, there is a pretty arch with white fabric and flowers. I peep through the window to ensure everything is perfect despite Emily who is my maid of honor telling me everything is perfect. It’s been three months since that incident that shook my life. I wasn’t panicking like I normally would but being on the verge of death twice made me realise something, that I don’t want to waste any second longer so the moment we reached home, I told Theo I wanted to get married. At first, he laughed and thought I was joking until he realized that I was serious. It took three months because he first wanted to make sure all the overseas offices were working perfectly before setting up his headquarters right here in New York. My girls had lost it when they realized that I was attacked twice but they knew that som

    Theo “So you think this is over?” My uncle’s text reads making me grind my teeth in irritation. I’m about to respond but my sweet angel’s voice pulls me from the text. “Let me visit the restroom.” She says and I offer her a smile as I try not to show the displeasure that I’ve just received on such a happy day. “Okay, Princess,” I respond and she walks toward the restroom. Too many minutes pass as I start growing uncomfortable so I walk to the restroom. To check on what has gone wrong. When I get there it’s awfully quiet. “Nina?” I shout but I’m met with a silent response. “Nina!” I shout the second time but I don’t wait for her response when I walk into the ladies and find her purse and her phone on the floor. My heart beats loudly as the realization of what has just happened hits me. My uncle has taken my girl! My heart is pounding in my chest as I realize what has happened. I thought stripping him off his title and announcing his retirement would make him live in a corner but

    Nina "A date mmmm, Maybe he'll propose!" Lily says excitedly but I shake my head. "We've joked a few times about it but I'm not sure he's ready. Any way guys, it's just an ordinary dinner nothing too crazy or extra!" I pause and look at the girls who are all looking at me with raised eyebrows. Because of our crazy schedules, we promised to always call each other on video so that we never miss a day in each other's lives. Kate is awfully quiet which makes me feel uneasy. "Kate is something wrong?" I ask making her shoot her eyes up with a shake of the head. "No, I'm sorry guys. There is this story that is giving me a headache. Nina, whether he proposes today or next year, Theo loves you and I don't think there is anyone else he'd rather do life with." A blush creeps my cheeks at Kate's words. I'm about to respond when I hear a car, "Okay girls, I've got to!" I shout as I quickly hang up and rush downstairs. As Theo's car pulls up to my house, I feel a flutter of excitement in my

    One year later: Nina "This is great Nina, I'm so happy for you!" My manager says as we look at the list of how many pre-orders we have for the new book. It's like a dream come true. One which I didn't think was possible especially with how scared I was before I decided to give my dream a chance! I smile at her, "Thank you so much Miss Fanwell for believing in me and giving me this incredible chance." "No problem sweetheart, let's make today a success too!" She claps her hands together as we get the ball rolling. I take a seat at my table and start signing the pre-orders while we wait for 10 AM to open the doors. I run a smooth hand on my paperback and my heart swells with emotions. With a smile on my face, I take a picture and post it on I*******m for the first time in a year. After my Dad attacked me, I had been so paranoid and couldn't post my picture anywhere especially after I discovered how he found me. Social media can be a dangerous place to post most of your life.

    Emily I don’t know how much time has passed since I locked myself into my room but I can’t go out there yet. Not until I’m certain of the threat I just received. A soft knock at the door makes me panic as I think of a way out “I’ll be there just a minute.” I shout. As I’m about to stand, my phone vibrates and when I see Liam’s name flash on my screen my heart beats so fast. What if someone just found it and they want to give me bad news? With a shaking hand, I swipe right. “Hello?” My voice comes out shaken. “Baby? Are you okay?” comes Liam’s voice and my heart rests instantly replacing my fear with anger. “Why didn’t you pick up? I thought. I thought.” Tears start to fall on my face as all the possible scenarios return but I don’t know how to say it without him being angry at the fact that I kept the threats hidden from him for the past three months. “I had to take care of something. You won’t be receiving any threats anymore. I found the one behind it. Let’s talk about it whe

    Liam After an hour-long drive, I finally reach a normal-looking house which I’m guessing is under another name and if anything happens here, no one will know, making a smile stretch across my face. This is about to get very interesting! I walk to the front door and open it carefully, the last thing I want is to be tied to a chair and put my kids in danger especially since I came here without backup. But I have a few friends nearby and they will be more than glad to help out. Pushing the door open, I step inside, scanning the dimly lit room. "Anderson, where are you?" I call out. The house is so empty, my voice echoes. I take a seat on the couch as I wait for the man of the hour to show up. "Liam, I'm glad you came," Anderson says, his voice calm but I can taste his fear at the tip of my tongue. I nod at him as he takes a seat on the other side. “You look better.” I begin and he chuckles but it’s a forced laugh. As I look at him clearly, I can tell he is having a hard time and h

    Liam After leaving Theo’s office yesterday, I had to visit Dad and tell him what I was up to, and when he gave me the go-ahead, I knew I had to end this once and for all. I walk into the board room where the meeting is expected to be held. After digging some dirt for Smith shareholders, I was able to buy off their shares making me the largest shareholder with 51%. Victoria’s father wasn’t expecting to see me so when I stepped into the board room he looked at me in furry. “This is a shareholder’s meeting! “ He announces but I ignore him and sit on his opposite end. I want to see how his face will look while I strip him of everything he holds precious. “I’m well aware.”I smile. His assistant must have caught on because he leans in and whispers something to him which turns his face pale. I clear my throat as I stand and button up my jacket slowly. Everyone looks nervous because they didn’t expect me to be here and I know they’ve heard about me especially since some are the people I
