LIAM'S POV:I didn't believe that the maids would muster the courage to come to me and ask for help in packing Riley's bag.Damn, was that the amount of hatred they had for her. Well, I couldn't blame them. Who wouldn't be happy when their tormentor will finally be gone?I couldn't help but burst into a fit of laughter when I heard Anita say that. Maybe the maids had conspired to find a way to get her out of the house so that they could finally know peace.I looked up at Anita and found her eagerly staring at me. I gave out a little smile as I finally spoke up after all the suspense."Sure, go ahead and pack her bags right away. Her wardrobe is the one on the left" I said and pointed at a wardrobe which was on the left corner of the room."Thank you so much sir, we will get to work immediately," she said as she bowed happily."We?" I asked as I raised a questioning brow at her.She immediately understood what I meant and clapped her palms together.Suddenly, the door of my room busted
LIAM'S POV:My eyes widened in shock as I realized who Riley was trying to make their life miserable. I dropped my cutleries noisily, startling the maids."Where is Riley?" I asked as I rose from my seat."She took some of her things and left earlier this morning, after answering the phone call." one of the maids replied."Do you by any chance have an idea where she was heading to?" I asked as I buckled up my suit."We are sorry Sir, but we have no idea of where she was heading to." the maids replied simultaneously."Thanks," I said as I rushed out of the house.The maids were of huge help to me recently, that's why I'm always nice to them so that I can get useful information from them about things going on in the household.I entered my car and brought out my phone. I tracked Riley's Phone and headed to her destination using the GPS tracker. "When I was together with Riley, we promised to never keep secrets from each other. We read each other's messages and share the happenings of t
LIAM'S POV:I got down my car and I got to where my tracker led me as Riley's destination, and it turned out to be a neighborhood."What would Riley be doing here?" I muttered to myself as I advanced into the neighborhood on foot while still tracing Riley's position.I finally found where she parked her car but I didn't get closer to the car as I hid behind a wall while secretly accessing the car.I noticed some movements in the car, but I couldn't see who was inside the car. So I brought out my phone and turned on the camera as I zoomed in on the car. I found Riley seated on the passenger while talking to a guy sitting in the driver's seat.I couldn't catch a glimpse of the guy's face, so I attempted to get closer to the car without anyone noticing me.I was about to secretly advance towards the car when the car door opened and the guy came out wearing a mask.He looked around to see if there was anyone around and I quickly hid behind the wall, but it seemed like I did a bad job of
MIA'S POV:I feel so guilty right now. I should have identified the face of the person who pulled me into a corner before taking action.Now look at what my carelessness had led to. I sighed inwardly as I concentrated on treating on treating his wound.I felt his gaze on me but I pretended not to notice anything. His gaze became so intense that I felt my cheeks heating up.Damn, why I'm I feeling like this just because of an ordinary gaze. I tried to control myself from rushing out of the room in embarrassment.I wanted to speak up before he bole a hole in my body with his eyes, but he beat me to it. His next words nearly took me off balance."Move into my house," he said, still staring at me."What?" I quickly asked as I looked up at him."I said that you should move into my house" he replied."Why should I do that" I asked still not sure of his notice of saying that."This house is no longer safe for you. Riley already figured out where you live, and she's after you," he explained.
LIAM'S POV:I drove into my garage and packed my car. I noticed that Mia was in a deep sleep and I didn't wanna wake her up.I rested my head on the steering wheel while staring at her sleeping face.She looked so pretty while asleep. Her long lashes hugged her cheekbones as she slept so innocently. A strand of her blonde hair fell across her face, adding to her beauty.I slowly reached out to her face as I attempted to brush her hair back. Just then, her eyes snapped open, startling me.I immediately retracted my hand back as I acted innocent pretending to be looking out the window."When did we get here!" she asked sleepily."A while ago" I answered."You should have woken me instead of wasting your time," she said as she opened the car door and stepped out.I immediately followed suit and led her into the house through the front door."Wow," I heard her gasp as she gaped around the house."Nice, isn't it?" I asked with mischief."It's amazing" she replied still staring around the
MIA'S POV:Immediately Liam went out of the room to fetch me some clothes, I quickly stripped my clothes off my body, grabbed a towel from the towel rack that was kept beside the bathroom door, and wrapped it around my body.I went into the bathroom and had a quick bath that relaxed my muscles a bit.I headed towards the dressing table and sat down as I checked out the skin care products lined up there. They all looked kind of expensive and I was hesitant to pick one.Since my things haven't arrived yet, I will have to make do with the ones available.I grabbed a body lotion and applied some on my legs. I was about to loosen my towel from my body to apply some lotion on my back when a thought crossed my mind.I looked around the room to see if there were any CCTV cameras around that were monitoring all my movements.You know how all rich people behave by installing secret cameras in every corner of the house. I wasn't going to fall victim to that by showcasing my body to them through
LIAM'S POV:I groaned in frustration as the sunlight seeped in through the curtain and shone on my face.I turned away from the light and sat up on the bed. I stared at the door as I recollected the events of yesterday.A smile escaped my face as I remembered Mia's horrified face when I came into the room.I laughed as I stood up and headed towards the bathroom to prepare for work.After a quick shower, I left my room and was tempted to pick on Mia's door, but I resisted.Maybe she lacked sleep last night seeing that she hasn't been up by this time of the day.I headed downstairs as grabbed my briefcase that I had forgotten to take up my room last night.I instructed the maids on what they were to do if Mia woke up.I requested a pen and a piece of paper which was handed over to me almost immediately.I wrote a short note for Mia and requested the maids to paste it on the door of her room.I was about to leave when one of the maids called me back."Sir, are you not going to eat breakf
MIA'S POV:I couldn't help but wonder why Ava would have that kind of look on her face. I mean she possibly can't be jealous of a girl who got pregnant out of wedlock and lives with a man she barely knew. That didn't make sense right?My mom touched my shoulders, making me snap out of my thoughts."What had you so spaced out?" my mom asked." Nothing Mom" I quickly covered up."Are you sure?' my mom asked with narrowed eyes."Yes, I'm sure" I quickly replied to avoid suspicion from both Ava and my mom." If so, then I will take my leave," my mom said as she headed towards the door." Bye, mom. Too bad you can't stay for breakfast" I yelled after her."Bye," she replied with a small smile as she left through the door.I faced Ava with a small smile who was now sitting on one of the chairs in the dining area."Dig in" I said to her as I reached for a seat opposite hers.She nodded in response as she took her cutleries and dug in. I joined her in eating and moaned in ecstasy as soon as
LIAM’S POV:“Who was it?” I asked curiously.“I think it was Charles Robert”“What” I gasped in shock at the mention of that name.“Mia, are you sure of what you saw? Maybe you didn't see his face when he took the mask off so you might have assumed him to be someone else” I rapped while staring intuitively at Mia who gently shook her in disapproval.“I'm sure of what I saw Liam, I saw his face when he took his mask off. It was Charles Robert” Mia said.I exhaled heavily as I thought of the reason Charles would try to harm me. Was it to spite me or was it totally for a different reason?“If it's truly him, then why did his shoulder feel so soft when I got a hold of him in the passageway? He almost seemed like a girl to me if not for the masculine way he was dressed” I said pensively.“What happened in the passageway?” Mia immediately asked.“Nothing, just that I saw him leaving your room while I was coming back from the restroom so I got a hold of him because he seemed suspicious but h
LIAM’S POV:“I think it's high time you separate yourself from my daughter,” Mia’s mom said with a stern look on her face.I looked shocked as I stared at her unbelievably.“You don't mean that,” my mom said, stepping forward to us.“Yes, I do. I don't see my daughter benefitting anything by staying with Liam. Instead, she keeps getting hospitalized despite being pregnant” Mia’s mom retorted.I looked spaced out as I stared between my mom and Mia’s mom while at a loss for words.I didn't know how to reply to her request more like a command Mia’s mom just issued now.I can't deny that the thought hasn't crossed my mind at all, but I just shrugged it off as nothing.Now, her mom had voiced out her thoughts on her daughter's safety.I couldn't blame her after all Mia was the only family she had and it would be so painful if she eventually lost her.I thought about her command for a while and remembered the warning she gave me beforehand that I should think of what was best for Mia and ou
LIAM’S POV: I went to the doctor's office hoping to meet the doctor again but couldn't.Instead, I met a nurse walking out of there and she told me that the doctor wasn't available at the moment.I sighed before heading back down because it seemed like the doctor wasn't around.Just when I reached downstairs, I bumped into someone and the person quickly apologized while rushing off before I saw his or her face.I shrugged while looking at the retreating figure of the person hastily walking away.I don't know why, but I felt like I knew the person from somewhere and the person probably didn't want to see me that's why they reacted the way they did” I thought before heading towards the reception room to ask the receptionist where the CCTV camera room was. I was directed to a room hidden almost at the back of the hospital which was the CCTV camera room.I slowly entered the room and noticed that it was unusually empty.“Shouldn’t the security men in charge of monitoring the activities
MIA’S POV:I groaned in pain as I woke up and immediately shut my eyes because my vision was kinda blurry coupled with the light shining directly on my eye.“Miss, are you okay?” I heard a voice ask.I opened my eyes and noticed that the light shining on my eyes had been switched off.“Do you understand what I'm saying?” the voice asked yet again.I didn't reply as I looked intently at the person standing in front of me and asking me questions.“Blink once if yes and blink twice if no” the voice which was that of a doctor said.“I can talk” I replied while trying to sit up on the bed but a sharp pain gripped my stomach making me groan in pain before falling back on the bed.“You shouldn't try to get up for a while because you have not fully recovered,” the doctor instructed as he reached for my wrist and checked my pulse.He connected an IV fluid to my wrist before telling a nurse beside him to come to check up on me every hour.After a few minutes of instructions from the doctor, he
LIAM’S POV:“Stop right there” I half yelled as I gripped the person by the shoulder and surprisingly the stranger whom I thought was a man had soft shoulders making me doubt his sex.The stranger stood rooted on his spot for a few seconds as I slowly turned the person to face me.Suddenly, he shook my hands off his shoulder before taking to his heels. I noticed him limping while running as I chased after him, making me raise a questioning brow at him.Halfway through the chase in the hospital that was already drawing attention from people, I stopped as I watched the stranger escape.No need to chase after him when there are CCTV cameras installed in every corner of the hospital.I needed to go check on Mia first to know if she was alright because her safety was now my priority.I could easily catch the stranger who entered her room while I was away because he wasn't running as fast as I expected, probably because he had a wound on his leg.I sighed as I rushed back to Mia’s ward to
LIAM’S POV:I woke up earlier than usual and walked into Mia’s room to check on her.I met her all cuddled up in the bed with the duvet wrapped around as she was still asleep.I walked closer to her and slowly sat on the bed careful not to wake her up.I checked her temperature and noticed that her fever had died down and was now mild.I sighed in relief while lifting myself from the bed. I covered her well with the duvet before leaving.“Her fever dying down doesn't mean that she has recovered right?” I thought as I slowly closed the door behind me after walking out.“Maybe I should go purchase more drugs for her in case she is still feeling cold or her fever suddenly accelerates. After all, prevention is better than cure” I thought as I walked into my room and grabbed my black card before heading downstairs.I met Anita on my way out of the house who immediately bowed in greeting as soon as she saw me.“I'm heading out for a while to go purchase some drugs for her. Tell her where I
MIA'S POV:I groaned as I covered my head with the duvet to avoid the ray of sun that was shining on my face.After a few minutes, I sat up while searching for my flip-flops sleepily.I found them and wore them before walking into the bathroom. I eased myself before standing in front of the sink while staring at my reflection in the mirror by the sink.I checked my temperature and noticed that my temperature had gone down and I wasn't feeling cold anymore.I smiled when I remembered how Liam took care of me yesterday when I was sick.He looked very worried as he watched me shiver in cold and burning up with fever.“I wonder how he's fairing now,” I thought as I grabbed my toothbrush, and applied toothpaste before brushing my teeth.I took my bath after that as I wore my clothes, and applied some lip balm because my lips felt somewhat dry before walking out of my room.I stood in front of Liam’s room as I contemplated whether I should go in and tell him that I'd recovered or I should w
MIA’S POV:I woke up to a space on the bed. I groaned as I covered myself properly with the duvet.I was about to cuddle Liam so that I could share his body warmth with me because I was kind of feeling cold, but too bad he had already left.I shivered slightly at the sudden wind that blew on my skin from the slightly opened window.I was too tired to get up and close it, so I just wrapped myself with the blanket like sushi. Still, I was feeling extremely cold.I placed my hands on my forehead and noticed that I had a high fever.I exhaled heavily while staring at the door waiting for Liam to come in anytime and it seemed like God heard my prayer as the door swung open and Luam walked.“Liam” I muttered weakly as he placed his other hand on my forehead to confirm that I was having fever.“I'm so cold,” I said with clattering teeth as another round of cold wind threatened to burst through the slightly opened window and blow on my skin.Liam noticed this as he rushed to close the window.
MIA’S POV:I stared shockingly at Riley as she displayed her true colors in front of us.“How can she think of killing us just because Liam divorced her? So this is really how she behaves, She's a complete disgrace to womanhood” I thought while staring shockingly at her.Liam hasn't fully untied my hands yet because he was always distracted by Riley who seemed determined to accomplish her mission.I secretly struggled with the ropes binding me as Riley seemed distracted and thankfully, she wasn't noticing any of my movements.I finally untied Myself and I gasped happily when I finally freed my hands which hurt a little as blood started circulating fully on them.I still kept my hands backward as I pretended to be still tied up. I didn't want Riley to know that I freed myself as I paid attention to their conversation because Liam suddenly stood in front of me protectively.“Oh really? Then I'll show you what childish looks like” Riley said as her hands went to the trigger.We heard a s
