Liam's pov"What exactly do you want to gain from this, what Lucy?" I yelled at her over the phone. She had called me just a few minutes after I arrived at the bar to clear my head and think of the next action to take. "You are already causing problems in my new marriage, Lucy" I continued, my voice rising in volume. "You are not allowing me to enjoy my honeymoon. This is the best time for me to move closer to my wife, but you are not letting me. Please, leave me alone for the sake of the love we've once shared, please, allow me to enjoy my marriage in peace" I said, my voice cracking.There was silence at the other end of the call and it seems she was thinking about what to say next. Finally, she spoke again, her voice cracking."I want you back Liam"."I'm married now, Lucy. I have a life that can't include you anymore. You're now my ex, you are already my past and I plead with you to stay there. You can't be part of me any longer. I'm asking you, as a friend, to please just let me
Liam's pov"It was Priscilla who texted me," I explained, when Asher asked again why I had left her in the room. "She said she wouldn't be able to visit us again." I knew I was stretching the truth, Priscilla, my cousin had texted me, but that wasn't why I had rushed out of the room. "So that was why you acted like someone who had seen a ghost" She said, raising an eyebrow. "I was even asking what's wrong but you just ran out of the room" She said again."Em…yes, I had been longing to see her. It's been a while since we saw each other. When she said she won't be able to come again I felt sad and disappointed". I said, trying to sound sincere."It's alright, I don't want this to cause any argument again" She said softly."I now understand your point of view that we shouldn't report Lucy to the police or your father" she continued, "So, I don't want to report her again" She said, her eyes met mine as she smiled. "But I still believe what you said, that she won't hurt me." She said, I n
Lucy's pov"What?! Why would you do that?" my cousin, Lisa, exclaimed. I just told her that my main reason for coming to Germany wasn't to visit her, as I had told her. I had really come to try and get closer to Liam. "Why are you chasing after him like this? He just got married, he should be enjoying his time with his new wife, not being pursued by you!" Lisa said again."But, I really love him, I love him so much" I said, my voice breaking. "If you know what I went through when we were together, you will know that I truly love him" I said, tears already welled up in my eyes."I could remember the day his father came to my house and warned me to stay away from him. My father tried to talk to him, but he slapped my father right in front of me. I know I should have ended things then, but I just couldn't let go of my feelings for him. I was madly in love." The tears began to flow down my cheeks.My love for Liam had come at a great cost. His father, a billionaire and a powerful man, t
Asher's povOur honeymoon had come to an end, it was just one month but I felt it was more than that because my stay in Germany had been filled with experiences of both bad and good but most importantly, I had a deeper connection with my husband. So finally, we are returning to our dear home in America. I felt butterflies in my stomach.I was so excited to be finally going back to America because my husband would become the new CEO of Xavier and Son company. The thought of being a wife to a man who is accomplished made me feel so proud and happy."Babe, we're going to miss our flight if we don't hurry up," Liam said as he watched me in the mirror, trying to finish up my makeup."I'm almost done," I said as I hurriedly filled in my eyebrows.As I was finishing up with my makeup, Liam bent down to help me with my shoes. I was wearing a white shirt and trousers to match his outfit. We carried our luggage and headed out of the hotel. The car we had booked was already waiting for us outs
Asher's povWe finally arrived in America. My mother in law and my younger sister, Joy, were already waiting to take us home. I felt a flaming brand of pure joy when Joy hugged me. I had missed her so much.On the way to Dr. Xavier's house, they kept chatting with us, asking different questions and expressing their excitement at having us home. Even though we were tired from the long flight, the warm welcome from our family gave us strength. I was shocked when I saw many people in the compound. I was just expecting my family and Liam's family but Liam's friends, important people, and my own friends were there to welcome us back from our honeymoon, and it was overwhelming in the best way. We were greeted with plenty of hugs, smiles, and all kinds of well wishes.My mom was so happy, she couldn't hide her joy as she kept jumping and shouting "My daughter and her husband are back". I couldn't help but laugh at the way she displayed her happiness.My dad was grinning like a Cheshire
Liam's povI was seated in my new office, going over some files as the CEO of Xavier and Son when I heard a commotion coming from my secretary. She was having an argument with someone, and I could hear her shouting, "You can't see the CEO without an appointment, you can't just go into his office like that." The other woman shouted back, " Do you know who I am?How dare you speak to me in that manner. I want to see Liam and you are telling me trash". The situation was getting out of hand as I heard a sound of slap, I don't know who slapped who. I knew I had to intervene. I stood up from my desk and walked out to see what was going on.When I opened the door, I was shocked to see that the woman my secretary was arguing with was no other person than Lucy. I didn't need to ask how she found out about my company, as it was a well-known and highly respected organization. I took charge of the situation and instructed my secretary to let Lucy in. I have been trying my best to avoid giving L
Liam's povI tried to tiptoe into the house this night again, I was so careful not to make a sound because Asher would be furious if she saw me coming home so late again. We had been fighting about my home coming late for weeks. Lucy always has her way of keeping me at her place longer than I intended. I was so tired that all I wanted was to get into my bed, but I knew I couldn't avoid the inevitable confrontations.I gently opened the glass-paneled golden door of the sitting room, with the intention of sneaking into the bedroom and sleep. At least, I would save the argument for tomorrow. But to my surprise, Asher was standing right in front of the door as if she had heard my footsteps. "Welcome, you're home late,"she said coolly. I almost jumped out of my skin. I wasn't expecting her to be awake at this hour. Usually, she should be sound asleep by now."I called your personal assistant, and she said you left the office quite early today. But now you're coming home at this ungodly h
Lucy's povI had attended my friend's birthday party when I cited a familiar face as I mingled with the guests. It was Stanley, someone I had thought was living in Germany, but here he was, in America, attending the same party. Anger ripped through me and I made my way over to him, determined to confront him about his presence. "I'm here for a seminar," Stanley explained, his tone calm."But how did you know about this party?" I demanded, my voice rising in anger. "And how do you know my friend?""Your friend's elder brother is my friend. I'm staying with them while I'm here in America. She told me that she knows you, and that you would be attending the party," he said in his cool tone."That girl is not thinking clearly, why would she tell you I would be at the party" I exclaimed, turning to look for her. But Stanley grabbed my arm, stopping me in my tracks."Lucy, please I love you" he said, his voice calm and filled with emotions. But that only made resentment grow inside me like
