Emily

I turn to Liam, grateful for his defense. "Thank you," I say quietly.

He nods, his eyes reflecting a mixture of concern and frustration. "Focus on what needs to be done. I'll handle the rest."

As the door closes, I take a deep breath and proceed with the tests hoping to find the answers that I seek. Hopefully, I will be able to diagnose her sooner than later.

I look at Theo, "Theo, I need your consent to remove her from the machine so that we can begin the treatment. It's the best chance she has."

He nods, "Do whatever it takes, Dr. Harper. We trust you. I’m so sorry about my sister I will ask her to apologize"

“That won’t be necessary.”

I move slowly and carefully, disconnecting the machine and carefully monitoring her vital signs. With Liam’s help, we shift her to a more comfortable position. I begin the initial treatment, administering medications that will hopefully help reduce the effects of the chemicals and provide some relief to her weakened body.

    Emily My heart stops beating and my breath catches as a shiver runs down my spine. I feel a whirlwind of emotions sweep through me. His confession catches me off guard. As My heart races, I find myself at a loss for words. For a moment, I simply stare at him, searching his eyes for any sign that he might be joking or playing a game. I’ve constantly asked myself what my decision will be and every morning when I wake up and see him sitting at that table with the kids, my heart warms and deep down I know that is what I want to see forever. Every time he defends me and protects me from anyone, my heart settles more and more. and now after hearing his confession, I know there is no place I’d rather be right now. “ I never stopped loving you,” I whisper and the moment the words leave my mouth, his lips are on mine. We start slowly, capturing and tasting each other as if we're trying to make up for all those years we’ve been apart because of a cruel joke that fate played on us. I stradd

    Victoria “We sincerely apologize-” “GET THE HELL OUT!” I practically scream my lungs out and the stupid man gets up and runs out the door. I pick up every glass I can find and throw it at the door, sending the glasses shattering loudly. “After all that shame all they have to say is ‘sorry!?” I scream. All my plans have been backfiring. First, the stupid divorce that I pulled on Liam and Emily didn't go through because something went wrong, and now this! I’m now the laughingstock in town. I’ve been ultimately humiliated and some are saying I didn’t even pay my dues. News going around is that, Liam just felt sorry for me and It’s driving me crazy. He must be thinking I’m a low life now and the thought if it makes me want to strangle someone. My one chance to make him mine has been blown in my face and no matter how many people I fire, I just can’t seem to feel better. Someone knocks at the door and my eyes shoot at whoever is feeling brave enough to disturb me. I storm towards the

    Emily “I can see you're glowing and looking all sorts of happy! It looks so good on you.” Nina smiles as I update her on what has been happening the past two weeks. “I feel good Nina.” I smile as I swing. We brought Kayden and Hayden to the play park since it’s a weekend and Theo’s mother is slowly getting better. So, I reduced the dosage of the medication she has been receiving from every day to twice a week. Victoria angered me when I ran into her and I wanted to call her out on her desperate attempts to try to fool me by making me think she was sleeping with Liam, but I decided not to get involved in their mess and trusted that Liam would deal with it. It was also a shock to see that Katherine is friends with her and deep down, I wanted to leave a warning for her. But seeing how she already can't stand me, I kept my mouth shut. “You deserve it. I’m so happy for you and the boys. Your family deserves to be complete. Have you told Dad and Aunt Melan?” She asks as she moves her

    Emily My face pales and my heart pounds in my chest as anxiety courses through my veins. I quickly cut the call with Annie. Grabbing my medical bag, I start packing all the necessary medical supplies. As I turn to pick anything I can change into, Liam stops me, concern written all over his face. "What's wrong?" he asks. "It's Mrs. Kingsley. Something's happened. I need to go check on her," I reply, my mind racing with all scenarios possible... Liam's brow furrows as he picks up my medical bag before turning to me. "I'll drive you." “What about the kids?” I ask as I try to calm and pick up my heart which has sank under my feet. “I’ll have Jake watch them baby. Breathe in and out. I’m sure it will be okay.” He says as our positions change in less than an hour he’s the one now trying to soothe me. “Stay here until Jake arrives.” He instructs his chief security as we walk to the elevator and quickly rush to the car. During the car ride, I go through everything I did and where a mis

    Emily “Are you sure you want to go there?” Liam asks and I nod. “I have to. It’s only right. Besides, She was your best friend's mother.” Who I failed to save. I finish the sentence internally but it seems he can read me because he turns me to face him while placing my face in the palm of his hands, “I saw you do your best. It’s not your fault and the faster you can accept that, the faster we can find out what truly happened.” Liam says and I look at him meeting his gaze in shock. “I still feel partly responsible.” He doesn’t disagree. Instead, he pulls me into a tight hug. “I love you. We will get to the bottom of this.” “Daddy who died?” Kayden asks as he takes a look at the clothes we are wearing and his cute face frowns. “Daddy’s friend. Aunty Nina is going to pick you up soon. Be good, okay?” I kiss him on the cheeks. We drive to the funeral house and when we arrive Liam turns to me, “We can still go back you know.” He eyes me but I only shake my head. “Let’s go in but we

    Liam It’s been a week since the funeral and each day gets easier as I see Emily slowly start getting back on her feet. I always have my men following and protecting her secretly in case anything happens. I know if I tell her about it, she will reject it. So, I just do it behind her back. I’m working from the office today and after not reporting for a while, I’m surrounded by a sea of paperwork and various documents of new projects that require my approval. The last meeting I had was so bad I had to go and have a drink with Theo not knowing that night would be the turnaround of everything. There is a knock on the door that makes me look up, “Come in.” "Mr. Lockhart," Jake begins cautiously, "There's something important I need to inform you about." I hold the bridge of my nose as I look at him from the side before responding. "What is it, Jake? We're already dealing with enough today." "It's about your wife sir.," He hesitates a moment before he adds, "Her medical license has been

    Liam After meeting up with Theo, I drive straight back to the office. When I reach my office I turn to Jake, “No one should disturb me.” “Okay, sir. What about Kayden and Hayden?” He asks. “I’ll pick them up. What you can do for me is rent the entire best theater in New York. I don’t know any so find one and make them shut it down for the day. I’ll pay five times the total sales for the month.” I say and he looks at me as if I’m speaking a foreign language. “What?” “Do you no longer understand English Jake?” I raise my brow. “I just thought I didn’t hear you clearly.” He pushes his glasses. Without another word, I enter my office and lock it. Taking a sit I connect the flash drive Theo gave me to my computer. True to his word, various videos have been recorded including the one from the night of Mrs King’s death. I can see the new nurse but how will I be able to find her? My phone vibrates indicating an alarm to pick up Kayden and Hayden. I immediately stand and rush to their s

    Emily “Are you okay sweet pea?” Dad asks me and I sigh trying hard not to break down. “I’m still trying to believe it’s actually happening,” I respond truthfully and he remains silent before speaking up again. “Should I come over?” He asks and I laugh. “What happened to hating New York?” I tease and he chuckles slightly. “My daughter needs her father.” He says calmly and that is enough to make my eyes swell with tears. I’m so lucky to have him as my father and this call is enough to set me back on the grid. “I’ll be okay Daddy I promise. The truth will be revealed I just know it.” I assure him and after a few minutes of going back and forth he reluctantly agrees but only if Aunt Melan can help me with the kids. I want to tell him I have all the help I need but then I’ll have to explain that Liam and I are back together and even though it’s been six years of silence, we are still married. I don’t think now is the time for me to talk about this. I‘ll visit him once the investigati

    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
