“What?” He asks me confusion laced in his voice.

“The day I was leaving, I called you Liam. Victoria picked up and told me you were tired after a wild night. So I’ll ask again, did you cheat on me?” I ask with my heart beating so fast I feel like it will pop out of my throat.

“Walk with me.” He says as he stretches out his hand but I don’t take it. I walk ahead of him.

“This direction baby.” He says and my cheeks flush from the realization that I just went the wrong direction. I meet his gaze as we enter the elevator and after a long pause of silence, it opens, and in front of me is the rooftop overlooking the city.

“Wow,” I whisper more to myself than to him.

“Come.” His deep voice makes me follow where his pointing and without knowing why I’m so cooperative lately, I take a sit next to him. “After that night when we had sex, I realized I had real feelings for you but I wasn’t so sure if they were really there or it was because I found out why you married me and I felt l

    Emily The next day…… A call from the hospital director came unexpectedly, we’ve not met eye to eye since he visited my office, and knowing how these systems work, Dr. Rodriguez probably shared our last unpleasant conversation and now I don’t know what they have in mind. “Good morning my angels can I talk to you about something important?” I ask and they exchange looks before turning back to me. “Yes, Mummy. What is it?” Kayden asks as he takes a sit pulling his brother to sit next to him. “Well, I wanted to hear what you guys think about us moving in with Liam.” I begin. Knowing the load of questions that is about to hit me will be difficult to ignore. I have been avoiding addressing this for a month now and even though they kept calling him “Daddy,” I never acknowledged it but now I feel like I should clear their minds. I’m still deciding and trying to see where I can place Liam’s confession but right now, I’m scared. I don’t think I can handle being broken like I was ever

    Liam “How are you feeling?” I ask Dad as I help him into the wheelchair. It surely hurts seeing a man you know as the strongest look this pale. I know It’s my turn to protect him and I won’t stop at nothing or let anyone try to drag him down. He turns his head and looks at me with a weak smile, "Getting better, son. Just need some time." I push the wheelchair gently, guiding him through the living room as Joane passes me a cup of hot water which he’s supposed to take. "You did well in there," I commend him, trying to lift his spirits. "Your wife... where is she?" he asks, as he looks around for her and I can’t help but shake my head. “She’s at work, Dad. She’s a doctor who has other patients that need her too.” I respond as I hold the bridge of my nose. He chuckles softly, "You chose well, Liam." Technically you did but I don’t think I want to spend another hour explaining how I knew about the contract. He finishes his meal and I stand to gently push his wheelchair back to his

    Emily Setting up at the institute while observing other patients is going to prove an impossibility and today is only the first day. So I sent an email to the director to only allocate special cases for me to handle so that I can focus on reviving the research institute which is in a much worse situation than I thought. We are trying to outsource and see ways to replace strong medications with something environmentally friendly which will also help one’s life span but to do this, we need to test various options and that requires a lot of money. “Good morning Dr.Harper. My name is Lily Jacobs. Your medical assistant.” I turn and find a very beautiful gray-eyed blonde beauty staring back at me with a smile on her face. “Hello, Lily. It's a pleasure. Please take a seat and fill me in. What have you been working on so far and what are the challenges?” I smile and she nods as she takes a seat. She sighs heavily before speaking up, “Well, what version do you want? I don’t want you to

    Emily “Your food is here. I’m so sorry about the delay.” The waitress says apologetically as they begin to put the different food trays on the table. It is a variety of food I’ve never seen before. We don’t even wait for them to finish serving, we all laugh at how impatient we are as we start getting some on our plates. As I pick up the cup to sip on my wine, I can feel Liam’s eyes on me and as if to confirm my suspicion, I turn to face him only to be met with his hot gaze. “Do you know each other with Mr. Lockhart?” Someone at the table asks and all eyes turn to face me. I shift uncomfortably as I avoid the eyes looking at me waiting for the answer. “Why do you ask?” “Well, he's not taken his eyes off you since he walked in and I’ve not taken my eyes off him so you know.” She winks and I laugh despite my fast-beating heart. “Are you okay Dr. Harper?” Lily asks and I nod. “Yes, I am. I just need to use the restroom. Please excuse me.” I smile as I stand up. I can still feel

    Emily “No, I wasn't. Let’s go.” I pull her by her wrist even though I know she wants to use the bathroom. I’m so flushed and bothered and I can’t believe I let myself get so far. The most scary part is that I have no regrets and that worries me. “Dr. Harper. We were about to send a search party for you.” The team jokes when we reach the table and I laugh nervously. “I’m so sorry, I had to make some calls.” I lie and they seem to buy it because everyone goes back to chatting and when I look at the time, it’s 10 PM. My eyes pop out of my socket, “Oh now, I need to go. You should too, tomorrow we get to serious work.” I wave at everyone. “You got it Doc!” From the corner of my eye, I can see Liam start to bid farewell and that makes me almost sprint out the door. I double my step when I bump into someone, “I’m-” “Emily?” William says with shock evident in his eyes. “Hi William, I'm in a rush right now. Let’s talk later” I wave but he stops me by pulling my wrist. I frown as

    Emily My eyes widen in shock as I push Liam off me and turn to his sleepy face. “Nothing baby, why are you up?” “Oh okay, I couldn’t sleep, you didn’t kiss me goodnight.” He rubs his eyes with his tiny hands and my heart warms. I was actually surprised they slept, usually, they’d dozz but never sleep because they’d stay up waiting for me even if I had called that I’d be late. “I’m sorry baby. Come.” I take him into my arms and lift him when he says, “Wait a minute Mummy.” He comes down from my arms and runs to Liam. “Goodnight Daddy!” He says and I watch in shock. He runs back to me and I can’t help but feel guilty. Will I be able to leave once Richngard gets better? The next morning, I wake up early to the sound of Kayden's gentle snoring. He is still deep in slumber beside me. Gently, I slip out of bed, careful not to disturb him. It’s our first night all together under one roof but it feels like we’ve been doing this forever. When I brought Kayden to put him to sleep, I end

    Emily As I sit in my office looking at the list of families that are interested in medicine, I can’t help but think back to this morning and how we ended our conversation. I’m feeling terrible and no matter what angle I look at it from, he was right and I’m being unfair so I take my phone and dial his number which he picks up on the first ring, “Hi.” I breathe. Suddenly not knowing what to say or how to address the issue, I get tongue-tied. “Yes baby, do you need something?” He asks patiently and his calm voice makes me even more nervous or is it the way he calls me “baby” even when he’s angry? “I just wanted to apologize for earlier, you’re right. They’re your kids too so I shouldn’t be selfish.” I breathe again and he sighs on the other end. “Okay. Thank you for telling me.” He says. “Okay, then,” I respond and cut the call. My palms are sweaty and my heart is beating so fast. There is a knock on the door and Lily’s frame coming into view makes me breathe a sigh of relief. Fi

    Kayden We knocked off early from school because of a virus outbreak. Hayden and I were expecting Mummy to show up but it was Daddy instead. I nudge Hayden on the side with my elbow. “Look It’s Daddy!” I excitedly shout. The car comes to a stop and he steps out looking as dashing as always with his powerful aura, “It feels good to look alike with this man.” Hayden says and I nod in agreement. “It’s like seeing the future.” I grin. “Hey, boys! Hope you don’t mind me picking you up today.” He says as we shake our heads in unison. “Not at all. We love it when you pick us up but just don’t tell mummy.” Hayden whispers and I laugh. I know he’s joking so I let him get away with it. “She will definitely make us all sleep under a tree if I tell her. So, I’ll keep your secret.” He ruffles our hair as we walk to the car. Hayden and I nudge each other, grinning from ear to ear. We're proud to be Liam Lockhart's sons. The car ride home is always exciting even with Aunty Nina, and today is

  • Mr. CEO, Please Love our mummy   Epilogue

    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
