Liam

I had called her friend last night and made sure he would never meet up with Emily again. I have enough problems to deal with as it is and the least I want is having to see articles in my board meeting and Milan rejecting my offer.

She even took her ring off and as much as that angered me, I let it slide.

If she has lost it, I'll just buy her a new one. I have more important business to deal with right now anyway.

I was sure it was handled but as I woke up, Jake was forwarding me tabloids on how my marriage was on the rocks which has led to my “wife “ going wild within a month.

“Get the PR. I need all the articles down within ten minutes and hell, I’m pressing charges.” That was how my morning was ruined.

I took it out on the root cause of all this mess.

My so-called wife.

I don’t even know what came over me last night. But I’m convinced I did it for the company. I love this company more than I let on. I mean look at me, Married to a goddamn gold digger just like “her".

    Liam Jake walks into my office with a file at hand and I’m glad something will take my mind off a few things. I have to sign the deal with the Milans tomorrow or else the board will find a way to question my position and I can’t have that. It seems my marriage worked after all. Dad knew what he was doing. “I found something interesting.” He says and I roll my eyes. “Don’t you always? What did you find?” I ask, my tongue laced with sarcasm “Your pretty little wife whom you hate so much actually has so many problems. It’s a secret but apparently, your dad offered her a deal to pay her father’s medical bills if she marries you.” He begins and I grind my teeth. So she is a gold digger? But a family committed kind? Hell, what am I even thinking? “Leave it,” I respond referring to the file and I swear I see him roll his eyes before dropping it. I pick it up and there it is, all the information that was kept from me laid out. I should have looked into this before the wedding

    Emily I wake up with a smile plastered on my face as I find myself in Liam’s bed. I’ve never been here before and waking up in his arms after such an intimate night brings my racing heart to a standstill. It seems "Just for tonight." was extended. The least I expected was for him to bring me to his room, especially since I don’t know where I stand. My heart beats so fast from anticipation as a bubble of hope begins to form. I pull the blankets closer to cover half my face as I stare at the most beautiful man I’ve ever laid eyes on. His eyes are closed and his eyebrows are placed perfectly even in his sleep. I fight the urge to run my hand in his thick hair for fear of waking him up. We got intimate from nowhere but I don’t regret it at all. After visiting Dad yesterday, I came straight home and took some wine because of how the conversation went. “I see. So you got married” he sighed when he gave up after pushing me to reveal how I’m paying for the bills and I panicked. I dou

    Emily I’ve been waiting for Liam and me to talk but it seems he either hasn’t had the time or he just doesn’t want to. I now don’t know what to think. An idea pops up in my head and I decide to go for it. A surprise lunch visit. Maybe if I visit him, we might go somewhere and talk about us. With that resolution, I walk to the kitchen and find Joane cooking something and I smile at her, “Good morning.” She looks at me for a while before she responds, “Good morning miss.” but she doesn’t smile. I feel my current courage slowly leave me as my heart starts beating so fast I feel like I just ran a marathon of a hundred miles per hour. Joane notices how I’m standing awkwardly and her eyes soften a little, “Should I prepare your breakfast?” She asks. “No, I actually need your help with something.” I finally say after a stretch of overthinking everything. I just realized I know nothing about Liam and if Joane says no then I’ll definitely fail before I even begin because what if I make

  • Mr. CEO, Please Love our mummy   Chapter Eighteen ~ A past in the present

    Liam Knowing the reason why Emily had taken Dad’s proposal had softened me towards her and my whole view changed. I didn’t want it to but she somehow managed to crawl into my cold heart and began warming it little by little. I didn’t know what label to put on it so I’ve just been avoiding having this whole conversation until I’m certain with what I’m feeling. All I’ve ever known since Victoria broke my heart was rage and pain. All this was new but I wasn’t about to let her slip from me. I was afraid, but she began to prove to me that she was going to be worth all the hassle. When we met intimately, we agreed for it to just be for that night. But we continued even the next morning and we didn’t stop there. She has been making me cute breakfast and I used to kip breakfast and just get some coffee but lately, I eat it. “When did you start eating breakfast?” Jake asks and I ignore him. Partly because I don’t want to admit what I know is happening. “Are you not supposed to get me fil

    Emily It’s been three days since Liam and I got intimate and I was expecting him to get back to his cold self but he had been kind enough. Not warm enough but it’s a start. We never meet eye to eye, but I have been preparing breakfast for him which he has been taking. I’m not sure if he just doesn't throw it in the bin. Joane has warmed up to me by saying one or two words and that’s a start to a positive and civil arrangement. She also helped me prepare his lunch which he never got to eat. The words from those women still linger in my head and go straight to my heart causing a stab of pain. "Oh please she is no match for Victoria" one had said. He never spoke about the day when I went to his office or even tried to explain why he couldn’t see me. I’m so pathetic that I have kept all the hurt and pain hidden inside me when I’m not even sure about what my husband thinks of me. A part of me had been dying to know but I’m not sure I was ready for the answer. Was he truly with her? A

    Liam It’s been three days since Victoria walked back into my life and I must say, I have not been in my best mood. Not only did she stab herself, but she did it in my office, and with the Milan deal still pending, such news will not help us at all and the least I want is for Dad to fly back from China to come and fix my mess. So I do It. I’ve barely spoken to Emily and I think I won’t until I settle this mess that just walked into my life. I’ve already been so awful to her and right now, I don’t want to cause her any pain or worry. She is starting her exams soon and I want her to write without any stress. That is why I went and paid for her father’s medical bills in advance but it seems trouble has come anyway. The hospital is private with two extra rooms for the one at the bedside and in this case, It’s fucking me. I called her father who told me he would be back in New York the very day but three days later, I’m still babysitting. “When is your Mother coming? I’m a businessman

    Emily It’s been three weeks since I left New York to bring my father for the treatment and he has been responding very well. When we just arrived, Dr. Sanderson received us and when I was told we would be taken care of, I had no idea it would be by someone so young. Well, he’s thirty but very successful in his medical field and the best Neurologist in Seattle. He has brown eyes and dark short hair. Upon arrival, I could tell that he was popular among the females but I haven’t been bothered by it. I’m married to Liam Lockhart, that alone is enough to set the world on fire. The only problem is the way my heart clenches painfully when I remember the last conversation I had before leaving. He cheated on me again and with the woman who made him so cold. I had cried for three days straight and when Aunt Melan asked, I would use Dad as an excuse but now I don’t know what will be my excuse when I’m caught crying. He didn’t even try to call me back. My sadness starts to turn into anger as

    Emily “Hi Emily, I came here to bring your father’s medication. “ Dr.Sanderson says and I frown. I clean the oil on my hands using the tea towel and reach out to collect the brown envelope, “I’m sorry for all the trouble. You could have waited for our next appointment.” I apologize and I take the medication from him. “No worries, it’s best he starts the course today so we can see how he responds to it by Saturday. “ He flashes me a smile and I smile back uncomfortably. “Thank you. Well, th-” I’m about to end the conversation when Aunty Melan pops up behind me and it’s like deja vu. It's 9 PM! Honestly speaking, who delivers medication this time? “Why are you taking so long, Emi?” Her voice rings in my ear as she looks over my shoulder to see who is at the door. I’m very tempted to smash the door in his face but he is in charge of operating and checking on my Dad so, I wouldn’t want to get on his bad books. “I’m actually-” Again I’m cut off when she moves me aside and I curs

    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
