Liam's POV"Are you sure you want to do this, Miss Davies?" I asked her again, my voice stern and unrelenting.Bianca let out a groan and almost screamed. "Yes, Liam! For the one hundredth time, I want to do this! Let's just do it already!"She grabbed my arm and tugged me to her side with frustration spread across her face. She was eager to get down despite all my efforts to try to talk her out of it. Bianca was stubborn about learning some self-defense moves for emergency purposes and I didn't have a problem with that actually. The only problem was that I had never trained a woman before. I was scared she would hurt herself or something.And also, I thought it was pointless for her to want to learn self-defense. She had bodyguards who would always be there to protect her, she could hire even more now that Kevin was gone. She had the money for that and her security team were trained professionals. Not even an insect would get into the mansion without proper supervision.I had told he
Liam's POVThe training went well, kind of. Other than the humiliating hard-on I had and the emotions that was building up inside me while I was teaching Bianca a few moves, everything went well. She was able to master most of the moves in just one session. I was forced to admit to her that she displayed such amazing athleticism and that she had the potential of being a damn good athlete."If you ever get sick of modelling and want to try out professional wrestling, I'll always be available to recommend you. I've got connections," I had said to her half-joking and she had laughed aloud that it would never get to that point.Of course, there's no way I was going to get her into pro wrestling and stuff like that as much as she had the potential. She was too pretty for that and well, it didn't suit her personality. She deserved to live the soft life, pampered and treated like the queen that she knew she was.And I couldn't even imagine Bianca getting in the ring and throwing punches at s
Bianca's POVI had a shoot today and it was for a perfume commercial. It was going to be kind of busy and I couldn't wait to get started. The brand, Isabelline, was launching its first ever couple line, tagged, 'Helen and Paris'. It featured a handful of items that were manufactured in pairs, strictly for couples.Isabelline had started off with a Helen and Paris matching underwear collection. The following year, they launched a Helen and Paris beauty cream and roll-on collection with different types that sold at different prices depending on the customer's budget.Now, their long anticipated perfume collection was underway and was set to be released the next month. They had reached out to me to feature in their commercial alongside Wayne Ross, a famous, hot male model I got a chance to work with once.Wayne was very famous, he had the looks of an angel yet the features of the devil himself. I didn't know how to put it but his handsomeness was a weird mix of the two. Wayne was sex on
Bianca's POV"Him?" One of them, Hart, grimaced as he held Liam with a grabbing stare. His eyebrow was arched, his lips were tightly pressed into a straight line and his nostrils flared a little. I realized that the thing with his nose happened very often."Yes, him," I replied with a hint of cockiness blaring in my voice. I had full confidence that Liam was cut out for the job. He was more than cut out for the job, even."Isn't he your bodyguard?" He arched his eyebrows even more as he asked. "He's your bodyguard right?""Yes, Liam is my bodyguard but believe me when I say he's over qualified for it. He's just the man you're looking for, trust me.""Has he modelled before?""I don't think he has but what does it matter?" I shrugged."This is a huge deal. The Helen and Paris collection is not to be considered as some kind of a joke.""Yet you made a joke out of it and now here we are.""Well..."I cut him off, "I don't think you have much of a choice. You're running out of options and
Bianca's POVLiam's hand was still glued to my lower back and his other hand held my thigh in the air. He pushed me backwards slightly, staring deeply at me. I stared right back at him, one of my hands around his shoulder and the other one on his hard chest.The beating of my heart increased rapidly and I felt like it would rip out of my chest any time soon. I was almost out of breath, like I had gone a marathon. I didn't know what was wrong with me. It wasn't like this was the first time I was this close to him. We had been in such proximity quite a number of times but I felt like it was getting worse by the day.The more I grew closer to Liam, the more helpless I began to feel. The more time I spent with him, the more I fell deeper in love with him. I felt extremely hopeless and spellbound. When I was with him, he was the only thing I could see. It was as though nothing else mattered whenever he was with me. All I could see was him.Even now, it was as if he was the only one in the
Bianca's POVYes! We made it!The commercial was a huge success! Isabelline had been skeptical at first about letting Liam model for the Helen and Paris collection but they gave it a thought. Liam wasn't all that bad for them. As a matter of fact, he wasn't bad at all. He was perfect! He was a perfect replacement for Wayne Ross and what's more? A fresh face that hadn't been used anywhere before.A month after we shot the commercial, the Helen and Paris collection was launched and it was nothing short of expectations. Actually, it was beyond expectations. There were some who had thought that since Liam was a nobody in the industry, it would affect the sales.On the contrary, it made the sales skyrocket and the reason for it other than the fact that Liam had done marvellously well, was because the masses recognized him as my bodyguard from Nicole and Fredrick's wedding.And that was how the whole drama that had died down months ago resurfaced. Videos and photos from the wedding flooded
Bianca's POV"Sky, let go of me," I said, pushing his tall frame off my body. I struggled to free myself from his grip but he was too strong for me, it felt like a colossal waste of time.Sky refused to let me go. We were still standing in my doorway and he was practically squeezing the life out of me. Serious, I could feel my life slowly seeping out of my body. I was choking and running out of breath and it wasn't funny anymore. When he made no attempt to release me, I gave him a knee to the groin just how Liam had taught me.I wasn't too hard on him though. I understood he was under the influence of whatever nonsense he had taken. It was quite normal for people who were dead drunk to utter rubbish and do all sorts of nonsense. And had it been a stranger or someone I was only a little bit familiar with, I wouldn't have pitied him whatsoever. I would have unleashed the monster in me and sure as hell made the bastard impotent for life.Sky staggered backwards, clutching his groin in pa
Bianca's POV"Sky, you don't have to do this," I said to him in a almost a whisper. "Please, you can't leave like this."I stared at the piece of paper in my grasp and then stared back at Sky. My hands were a little bit shaky and my palms were sweaty, a cold shiver went down my spine and my breathing became heavier. I tried so hard to hold back the tears that were pooling in my eyes but I was failing miserably. I couldn't fully understand the reason why I had gotten so emotional, it was more than Sky quitting as a bodyguard.I'd had quite a good number of bodyguards over the years and each of them had to leave at one point in time, some I fired and some decided to leave on their own. There wasn't one that made me this overwhelmed with emotions. There was no reason for me to shed a tear about their resignation or whatsoever but not this time.Sky had been my closest, longest and my most favourite bodyguard. I had taken a liking to him because of how dedicated he was to the job. He tre
Bianca's POVMy life was slowly returning to normal since all the charges and accusation laid against me had been dropped. It wasn't easy but I was determined to go back to my happy self, to return to the lively, fun-loving Bianca who was all about living life to the fullest without any regret. I was finally healing from the pain and suffering I went through within the days I spent in that shithole. I was finally free.My career had been saved, in a way. But I knew it was still going to be affected by the stigma of everything. While I was in prison, some projects that I had been set to do had been withdrawn. Even Isabelline had denounced me as the face of Helen and Paris. The romantic comedy I was supposed to star in wasted no time replacing me with some other actress.It was crazy how the industry and the world worked. I hadn't even been pronounced as the killer, I hadn't even gone on trial yet they had already decided that I was responsible for Camden's murder. They had cut me off a
Bianca's POVI lost count of the days I spent in the cell and I was damn sure I lost weight too. Each day in prison was hell, every moment was torture. Diana brought me home cooked meals, my favourite, every single day but I couldn't bring myself to eat much. I only ate little and left the remaining to meet their fate. I was even surprised they let Diana bring me home."If you don't eat, you might die from malnutrition, Ma'am Bianca. You don't want to starve yourself to death, now do you? Remember you need all the strength and more importantly, you need to stay alive. Would you rather your dead body be dragged out of the cell, Ma'am Bianca? You need to stay alive if you wish to clear your name and that will happen soon enough, don't worry. Everything will be alright and you can return to your fun-filled life like nothing ever happened."Diana couldn't stop talking whenever she visited me. She would go and on, taking nonstop. And she said the same time every fucking time. It was always
Liam's POVIt had been a week since Bianca was arrested and refused bail. The whole thing was shitty and frustrating. I went to see her at the station countless of times but she wouldn't agree to meet with me. It got to a point where she asked the cops to never let me in anytime I asked to see her. It was that terrible and I was running out of options.I needed to do something to get Bianca out of that shithole and I needed to do it fast. I wasn't comfortable knowing that she had been sleeping in a cell for days. And I felt like a part of this was my fault. If I hadn't hurt her by choosing to ignore her and putting an end to what we had, then she never would have turned to Camden.And if she hadn't gone to Camden, she wouldn't have met with such an unfortunate thing. So everything was my fault, in fact. I began to resent myself for putting her in that condition. I felt so angry with myself to the point where I started despising myself.Now, Bianca was mad at me, she hated me and didn'
Liam's POVThey didn't let me see her. Those fucking cops didn't let me see Bianca. As soon as I heard she was arrested, I quickly went to meet her at the station but I wasn't let in. The police had said she wasn't allowed to receive visitors just yet. I was so infuriated I almost fought with them. I didn't leave on time, I stayed there for hours until I decided to see Bianca's lawyer.I spoke to her and she informed me that they were refusing to grant Bianca bail but she wasn't going to stop until they did. It wasn't enough. I didn't know what else to do but her word wasn't enough. It was so heartbreaking to see Bianca locked up like a community criminal. She was no criminal, she would never be able to do something like that. I was certain.Bianca wasn't behind Camden's death yet she was being punished for it. They said her fingerprints were found on the murder weapon but I knew it was nothing but bullshit. Someone was obviously framing her. I swore to find the person responsible an
Bianca's POVI was horrified by what I was seeing. I stayed on the floor, completely naked for almost a minute, not sure what to do IR how to react. It was a pretty ugly sight and my heart was pounding, my chest was tightening. I managed to get up on my feet and take a step closer to Camden's lifeless body. I put a hand over my mouth, still in utter shock.What the hell was going on?I didn't get on the bed, I just stood by the edge, taking one look at Camden. I saw how deep the knife had been buried into his neck and how his blood was spluttered all over the bed. Some parts of the bedsheets had gone from white to red. Tears began to pull in my eyes and I couldn't even get words to come out. I tried to call out his name pathetically but all that ripped out of my lips were series of broken gasps and heavy breathing.Judging by the looks of things, whoever did this to Camden was a brutal, coldblooded killer who deserved to rot in hell. But his punishment and whatever he deserved wasn't
Bianca's POVI was staring at Liam and he was staring right back at me. This was the first time in a long time we were doing this. These past few days, whenever our eyes met, one of us glanced away every single time so it felt weird that we now had our eyes locked on each other's. I was waiting for him to look away but it seemed he was also waiting for me to do the same.And that was how we found ourselves in an intense staring contest. Liam was standing close to our table, boldly gazing at me and I was sitting with Camden while my eyes were fixated on another man. The same man I had grown to love and had unintentionally fallen in love with.He was the same man who broke my heart in so many pieces that I could barely count but the most pathetic thing of all of this was that I still loved him so much and didn't think I would stop loving him anytime soon. Hell, I didn't want to stop loving him, never!And if he came to me right now and said he loved me and told me how much he regretted
Bianca's POV"Happy birthday, Bia darling!" My mother yelled and kissed me on my cheek. I was half asleep still laying on my bed.I forced my eyes open, it was still blurry and I was so exhausted. I felt extremely tired for no reason in particular and my body was kind of sore. I rubbed my eyes and sat up on the bed. I stretched my arms and yawned tiredly. I frowned as I met my mother's face. She was smiling at me, her grin was so wide, it went all the way to her ears.My mother's face was caked in makeup, she had eyebrows fillers, her lips were blood red and she smelt like she had emptied the whole bottle of my perfume on her body."Wait, did you use my perfume?" I asked her after taking a whiff of my expensive cologne lingering in the air and on her clothes. The perfume had been gifted to me by Camden.Camden and I were dating now. I was aware that I was rushing things, it hadn't been up to a month things between Liam and I went South. The both of us were never even dating in the fir
Liam's POVIt had been almost two weeks since Bianca and I had sex in my apartment and our relationship had turned sour. Only I was to blame for that, I alone was responsible. I remembered the pain she felt when I had told her that there was no us after ghosting her for six days.I felt like an asshole and it broke my heart to see her hurt that way. What's worse, it hurt even more knowing that I was responsible for her condition. I was responsible for putting her through the intense pain. I saw it on her face, how devastated she had been after I had broken her heart.When she had seen me the first time, she was so elated. I saw the excitement in her voice, it was evident. And it became even clearer when she had run up to me and had pulled me into a hug. I wanted to hug her back, God knew I fucking wanted to. I wanted to pull her into a tight hug, scoop her in my arms and tell her just how much I missed her.I wanted to kiss her like she had never been kissed before. I wanted to whisp
Bianca's POVI had never been as happy as I was now in my whole life. I felt this unadulterated joy and pure elation and I had been feeling this way since the previous night. I finally got what I wanted, I got Liam to make love to me and I was hopeful that this was the beginning of a new dawn for me and Liam.I was so certain that he loved me too. I got to see it in his actions last night. I felt it, I felt everything he wanted me to feel. It wasn't just a feeling of sexual attraction or lust, it was a lot more than that, it was real love. Every thrust he gave me told me how much he loved me and said everything that words could never be able to express. It was amazing, the feeling was sublime and indescribable.Last night, Liam made me feel like a woman and for the first time in my life, I made love to a man. I had never imagined that this was how it felt and I never ever thought that I would get to feel it. I had been thrown into spasms after spasms, I experienced climax after clima
