Bianca's POV"I wonder what would happen if I kissed you right here and now," Liam spoke, his voice low and husky and capable of causing any woman to have wet dreams. His grip on me was so tight and strong, I couldn't break free from his hold."Let me go, Liam," I spat."Everyone would think you were in a relationship with your bodyguard. It's bad enough that you're dancing with him." Liam acted as though he had not heard me."Have you gone mad?" I kept trying to break free from his grip but he held on to me even tighter.I swear to God, if he leaves a bruise on me, I'll kill him! – I thought."I said let go of me right now. The dance is over.""Oh but the song is still on. Do you really want me to let go? I thought this was what you wanted," he whispered softly in my ear and if I said I didn't feel goosebumps when he did that, I was a terrible liar.What has come over Liam?"I don't want to dance anymore.""Are you sure about that, Miss Davies?" Liam's hands went to my hips and he pu
Bianca's POVThe bouquet toss was so dumb, I had never even bothered to take part in it, not even once. I always sat that part out whenever I attended weddings and I didn't attend weddings a lot. Like I'd said, weddings were not my thing. The whole idea of the bouquet toss was just plain stupid. Ladies lining up to catch a stupid bouquet and the one who eventually caught it was bound to walk down the aisle next.Yeah right! As if.Nicole knew I'd never stand up to participate which was why she had begged me to after I turned down her request to be maid of honour."You can at least do this much for me, Bianca," Nicole had said to me, whining like a little girl. She had given me the cutest, saddest puppy face ever, pouting, tilting her head to the right and blinking at me several times."Why does it matter if I catch the bouquet? There are plenty other ladies who would be so interested to take part in your bouquet toss. I don't get why you're so hellbent on making me join in," I had tol
Liam's POVFrederick beckoned me to go over to them to take part in the garter toss. To say I was shocked was an understatement. Why was I suddenly being called to participate? Did Fredrick have any idea that I was not an actual guest in his party but a bodyguard on duty?I blamed Bianca for this. If she hadn't asked me to dance with her, then this would not have happened. And Fredrick, I wondered what he was up to. Couldn't he just go on with his toss and keep me out of it? I usually didn't do stuff like that but the few times I did, I never caught the garter. And the reason I barely took part in things like that was only because I didn't like that much attention.From where I stood glued to the floor, the spotlight fell on me and Fredrick called out again, "Liam, please proceed to the stage."What was his fucking problem? Were persons actually called to join a fucking garter toss? I thought they did it on their own accord so why was this man pressuring me to participate? And how the
Liam's POV"How could you do this to me, Liam? How could you?" Harriet screamed and threw a pillow at me. She had been acting all crazy since we got back from the wedding."Calm down, will you? Someone might hear you," I told her, my voice extremely calm after I ducked. We were at Bianca's house and Harriet was in my bedroom hurling insults at me and throwing at me, whatever she could get her hands on. She was overcome with rage, it was terrifying. Her eyes burned with fury and her voice was bitter and filled with spite."Do I look like I care, Liam? Do I look like a give a fuck? I'm going to scream on the top of my lungs, you hear me? I'm going to yell for the fucking world to hear. I don't give a fuck!" Harriet thundered with so much resentment ringing in her voice. She was really furious. It had been ages since I saw her this mad.I wasn't going to lie and say that her anger was not justified. She had every right to be mad at me. Perhaps, I should not have done what I did to her. I
"Who's there?" I broke away from Harriet and walked to the door. I was hoping it wasn't Bianca. How on earth was I going to start explaining myself if she actually was the one behind the door? And what if she saw Harriet here? How was I going to explain to her what her PA was doing in my bedroom at night.I knew Bianca wasn't dumb. She was quite clever. It wouldn't be long before she put two and two together and realized that something was up. She was a pest and she didn't know how to mind her business. She would probably do some digging and then find out that Harriet and I were not just dating but had other plans that involved her of course."It's Sky," the voice answered from outside the door and I deny slightly relieved it was just Sky and not Bianca. But only slightly. Sky was also somewhat of a pain in the ass. I had to be careful around him and not take him for granted.He looked like the silent killer type. Those who barely spoke or voices their thoughts but knew very well how
Bianca's POV"Bianca is such a whore.""So wait, she is dating her bodyguard now?""But these two make a great couple to be honest.""I thought she didn't date. That bodyguard is hot though, I can't blame her.""You all just hating. Let her be ffs!""All I see here is an attention whore!""Ouuuu, I want that bodyguard's number.""I'm surprised she'd get cosy with her bodyguard and that too in public. Isn't she the same stuck-up, bitchy Bianca?""But they look so good together. Are you sure he's her bodyguard?"I instantly tossed my phone on my calico-patterned sofa and plopped down on my bed. I have had enough of these comments flooding all over social media. People always had something to say whether we were doing good or bad. And I figured a lot of people derived pleasure in gossiping about me and talking trash about me.They couldn't keep my name out of their mouths even if they tried. And I had gotten used to it that it didn't bother me anymore. I just liked to see what people we
Bianca's POV"How do you know Liam?" I asked Nicole again but I got no response. The line suddenly went dead silent. "Hello? Nicole? Are you there? Hello? Can you hear me?""Hello? Bianca? Can you hear me?" Nicole said over the phone."Yes, I can. I was asking you how you knew Liam.""You were what?" Nicole chirped. "I'm sorry, I can't hear you.""But I can hear you just fine. I said...""Hello? I think the line is breaking. I really can't hear you, Bianca.""But..""I'll talk to you later, you hear me? Alright bye." With that, Nicole hung up.What the hell was she talking about? I could hear her just fine. Suddenly, when I asked her an important question, the network went haywire from her side? Please! How stupid or gullible did Nicole think I was? I knew for a fact that she was only putting on an act. There was no network malfunction and the line was perfectly fine.Nicole was definitely hiding something. And she did a good job sidestepping my question and blaming the line for it. S
Bianca's POV"Steve," I mouthed."You recognized my voice in a heartbeat. Isn't that wonderful, kitten?""How did you get my number?" I snapped. I had never recalled giving him my digits. That was something I barely gave out. None of my bodyguards even had it.Steve chuckled and said to me calmly, "I have my ways. It's been a while since I last heard your voice, Bianca. How have you been? Don't you miss me at all?""Miss you?" I recoiled in disgust. "Listen here, you pig! If you think you can just...""Shh," he cut me off. "Always so feisty. But you see, that's one of the many things I love about you. Do you want to know what I love most about you?" I didn't give him any response and he continued. "Your sex appeal." He cackled. "It's over the top. You're one hell of a sexpot, you know that?""Are you done?""Oh no, kitten. I'm barely getting started. You see, I never really wanted things to turn out this way. All I ever wanted was you and all of you. I really wasn't asking for much, w
