Liam didn't rush to answer Rita's question. He simply dipped his head and continued to eat porridge. One sip. Two sips. Three sips down, he continued, "I thought you'd been threatened to break up with me, and yet... you didn't have any communications from that night." As Liam spoke, Rita's nervous body tensed. As she listened to the end, her unease and fear turned into Bewilderment with a capital B. No... no communications? That wasn't right, she had a conversation with Michael. Why didn't Liam find out about that? Was it that- Someone wiped her logs? Even though she didn't understand where things had taken a turn, the real reason behind her breakup hadn't come out, and her heart slid back down her throat to rest in her torso. Rita took a deep breath, steadied her emotions, and sneered, playing the ice queen until the end. "I said from the beginning that there was no threat and no inside story. I never loved you. Believe me this time?" Behind her, Liam continued to eat h
Amelia's low tones fell next to her ear and drove Rose into a panic. All these years, the Brown family had taken care of all her needs. Even if they were moving out, without a job, the two of them ate, drank and lived off Amelia. If the two of them were to go at it honestly, there was no way they could live in fancy apartments, much less Rita's hundred-thousand-dollar handbags. They relied entirely on the Brown family's support. Really, it should be said that they relied on Amelia's favoritism. Naturally, Rose didn't have the guts to offend her benefactor out in the open. Desperate to salvage the situation, she slapped herself. "This unfiltered mouth of mine - don't take it personally, Mom, I was just too angry at Mason and wanted to get at him. I wasn't thinking when I spoke." Wasn't thinking when she spoke? Naturally, Amelia didn't buy that excuse. "You might have been angry, but that was sincere, too, wasn't it?" "No, it really wasn't..." Pale, Rose shook her head and
Every one of Liam's words jabbed at Rita's heart. It hurt. It hurt a lot. Shed still been struggling, but she quieted down. She looked at the man before her, eyes red, heart wavering. But to waver was to poison herself and give someone a chance to hurt her family. "Trust me, Rita. No matter what happens, I'll protect you and your parents." As if seeing through her, Liam wiped away the tears at the corner of her eye and pleaded, "Don't leave me again, please? Or I'll really lose my mind." "Liam, I... mph." Rita spoke hoarsely, but her ruby lips stung once more. He'd bit her again. "Hush!" "?" Not understanding, Rita raised her head and glared at Liam doubtfully. The man smiled, pulled her into his arms, and gently closed his eyes. "I'm tired. I want to sleep for a while." Ever since Rita had hit him with the breakup, Liams insomnia had flared up again. With each blow she dealt his heart, he'd grown more anxious and ill-tempered, and he couldn't sleep at night. He'd go
Although Liam took a break in the car, he was still sleepy. Rita asked Lee to drive him home. She thought he could get some sleep at home, but Liam was upset. He grew ice-cold immediately, which unnerved others in the car. "You don't want to stay with me?" Rita was surprised when she met his eyes. She pinched her lips, thinking about how to respond. And Jacob held his breath when he saw Liam was scowling. Damn it! Why hadn't he got off the car just now? Why was he so unfortunate to appear every time when they were about to have a fight? Liam was about to lose his mind ever since Rita had broken up with him. Therefore, he was the one who got into the trouble every time when he and Liam met Rita. Then Liam would vent his anger on him. If she refused, Liam might want to eat him and Lee alive. He could say that Rita was in control of their lives now. 'My goodness.' Jacob thought. He could even kowtow to her if she did not annoy Liam. Jacob stared at Rita with bated breat
“Madam, should I prepare the meals now?” Miss Chloe asked.She had been the chief for the Wilson family for very long time now. “Don’t worry miss Chloe, you can rest for today. I want to cook for my husband today.” Rita said while smiling. “But madam…” Miss Chloe was trying to say, but was cut short by Rita.“ I insist please.” “Okay if you say so. By the way, young master Liam is so lucky to have a wife like you, I can only pray you grew old together in love.” Miss Chloe said as she smiled, patted Rita’s shoulders and walked away.Rita stared at the old lady and paused for a moment, allowing what the lady said to sink inside of her. ‘Grow old tougher in love! Was that ever going to happen? She doubted so. It’s been eight years now since her marriage to Liam Wilson, but she could never win his heart. She did everything a wife could have done, hence putting her aspiration aside to become his full wife but non of her sacrifices could move him to love her. He was an heartless psy
In the living room of the Wilson mansion.“Madam Rita, are you okay?” The voice of the person made Rita to open her eyes.Wait, what was going on? Was she alive? She scanned the whole place and saw that it was the living room of the Wilson villa, then she stared at the person and saw that it was miss Chloe, the chief. Getting out of the sofa, Rita felt very weak and could not stand up properly. “You’re very weak so I’ll advise you take some rest. We were supposed to go get groceries, but seeing as you are sick l will go alone.” Miss Chloe said.One second… two seconds Rita still could not say anything. She was so confused.Miss Chloe thought her sickness could not allow her to speak, so he let her be before heading for the door.As soon as she was gone, Rita stood up still in her weak state and rushed to the calendar.SEPTEMBER 10th, 2020.Huh? Has she been reborn back in time to three years ago?No way! Checking herself in the mirror and seeing that she was safe and sound, her ti
After listening to what Rita told him, Liam immediately become very angry , he walked up to where she stood closing the space between them.“What did you say?” He asked.“I said, I want to divorce you.” She says. The next second, Liam grabbed her arms tightly that when she tried to free herself from him, she couldn’t.Glancing at the pale lady before him, Liam was anxious to know what she was planning on her mind, and his eyes were fixed on her as if they wanted to tear her skin apart.Although, he did not know her too well but in this eight years of their marriage, he was well aware of her feelings for him and how she was so crazy in love with him. That no matter how hard he tried to make her understand that he was not in love with her, she was still so crazy in love with him.But today, she was suddenly asking for a divorce. What could have gone wrong now?After sharing the bed with him, and even after claiming the tittle of his wife and Mrs. Wilson, sharing his fortune and liv
Her heart shattered into pieces after what Liam told. Not even the slap that he gave her was as painful as the hurtful words she heard.She wept bitterly and asked him. “But why. I thought you never loved me, why don’t you allow me go.” It was so obvious that he did not like her and was willing to stay committed to their marriage, why won’t he allow her to go then?’He glanced at her with cold eyes while saying, “ You are responsible for the death of my beloved Joey, what made you think you can escape after doing so? I won’t ever forget what you did not forgive you. And for this same reason, I will torture you until you wish for death to come your way.”Although he didn’t actually caught her killing Joey, he was so sure that she was behind it and would make her pay at all cost.“I really didn’t kill her, believe me. I am innocent Liam. How do I make you believe that I’m innocent. Now I realized that I shouldn’t have loved a psychopath like you in the beginning. This was the biggest
