The young woman smiled. She glanced at Liam and said, “Good morning, Mr Kent.”

Liam gulped. He swallowed empty air as he stared at the stunning young woman in front of him.

He couldn’t believe his eyes. Who knew she would grow into such a beautiful and attractive woman?

“Aria,” Liam remarked, his voice hoarse as he stared at her in awe.

The young woman was none other than, Aria Carter. She was the daughter of Adrian Carter, Henry Ford’s best friend who was also a former soccer player.

Liam knew Aria through Oliver. He also knew she was in love with Oliver. Six years ago, she was just eighteen and he thought she was just an unruly teenager who was obsessed with his friend.

However, she was now a full-grown woman who unwittingly made his heart race. Liam was stunned because this had never happened before.

No woman had ever made his heart race until now… Was she always this beautiful? Or was he blind back then?

Damn...

“Sir?”

Liam was brought back to the present when his assista

Aria is so stupid. Get over your obsession already. She's coming off as pathetic. Maybe she should go to a mental ward before going into any relationship. And get the medical help she desperately needs.

    “I knew you would end up like this,” Liam remarked, taking a sip of his whiskey. Aria glared at Liam. She spat, “If you’re here to make fun of me, then go away… I don’t need your sympathy.”“I’m just worried. You’ve been drinking beer like it’s water. You’re drunk,” Liam remarked. Aria scoffed and asked, “Why do you care? Are you trying to get into my pants?”Liam furrowed his eyebrows. “Do you think I’m always trying to get into someone’s pants?”“Yes!” Aria admitted. “Everyone knows the Kent heir is a manwhore.”Liam narrowed his eyes. For some reason unknown to him, he didn’t like what Aria thought of him. “I’m not a manwhore,” he said in a low voice, frowning when he thought about his past endeavours. He didn’t know why but he was starting to regret how he had lived his life. Why was he sleeping around with all those women when he got no gratification from it?“Right. And I'm a virgin. Haha!” Aria laughed and then, she began to cry. “Hey, what’s wrong?” Liam asked, looking at

    Liam was unable to resist Aria. In fact, he tried hard to push her away. However, there was something about the way she felt in his arms that made it feel so natural… like she belonged there in his arms. Her scent was familiar too… it reminded him of the time he got drugged and ended up sleeping with his bodyguard. However, Aria seemed more familiar to that woman than his bodyguard ever had. Aria's face kept overlapping with the woman from that night... could Sophia have lied? She was in his bed when he woke up the next day though... Liam felt confused, however, he brushed those thoughts away and enjoyed his time with the woman in his arms. A simple kiss was all it took for Liam to lose control and take Aria right there in the backseat of his car. It was wild and hot and if they weren’t on the side of the road, he would have wanted to go on and on until morning. This was the first time he was having good sex in a long time… Aria’s body was so soft. The way she moulded into him… r

    Aria got to work, trying to crack through the hacker’s computer. It was someone skilled with experience seeing how they managed to hack into the system and make it look like she did it. With such skills, an average IT professional can not easily crack the hacker's code. The hackers were confident in their skills and that's why they were bold enough to hack the system of such a large enterprise. They left no traces of their actions.However, they had never met Aria before. There was a reason she graduated with a perfect score in software engineering. There was no code that she couldn't crack. She sat on her comfortable high-end chair, typing rapidly on the keyboard. Her face was serious with a look of determination as lines of code flashed before her eyes. It didn’t take long for her to find the IP address of the hacker. After running a series of commands and bypassing basic security measures, the screen flashed with progress bars as she decrypted the information. Aria furrowed he

    Claire was off from work, so she called Quinn and they went shopping at the mall. Since she had some free time, Claire wanted to get a gift for her husband to appreciate him, so she dragged her best friend to the mall to help her choose the perfect gift. “What gifts do you think men like?” Claire asked her friend as they walked around the mall. “I have no idea… doesn’t he have money already? Maybe give him something he can’t buy with money,” Quinn suggested. “I know he's rich but I still want to get him something. Maybe a watch? It will be special since it’s from me. He always gets me gifts, so I want to return the favour,” Claire remarked. They entered a jewerly shop and Claire purchased a limited edition Rolex watch for Oliver. She had it engraved with, ‘I love you, Oliver’ and had it wrapped. She then went to a clothing store and chose some clothes for him. “I know he has plenty of clothes but it would be meaningful to buy him clothes with my own money. He has an expensive tas

    Time went by as quickly as it came. It was a Monday morning and Aria was supposed to make a presentation about the new software she had developed for the company. After many sleepless nights, she finally came up with a software that she thought would work well with the Kent Investment business model. Of course, she had to present it to the investors to get their approval and have them invest more funds into the company.She was in her office going through her presentation when her phone suddenly chimed. A smile crossed her lips when she saw that it was a message from Liam Kent. They had been going on lunch dates since that day and subsequently grew closer the more they spent time together. Aria wanted to concentrate on reading through her lines but she had to reply to the text since it was from Liam. Her heart raced when she read what he had sent. Liam: [Hey, cupcake.

    “I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen. I’ll arrange for another meeting,” Liam said to the investors. One of them glanced at Liam and replied, “Mr Kent, if these are the types of employees your company has then I’m afraid I’ll have to reconsider my investment.” “Please give me some more time. I’ll give you an explanation soon,” Liam responded. A few of the investors voiced their dissatisfaction before leaving the conference room. When Only Liam and Aria were left in the room, dead silence fell upon the room. The video was still playing in the background and Aria’s heart was pounding erratically in her chest. What just happened? How could she mess up such an important meeting? Her stomach churned as guilt crept into her. “Liam, I-”“Switch off that thing and follow me to my office, now,” Liam ordered before walking out of the conference room. His face was devoid of any emotions but his jaw was clenched and his eyes were colder than usual. Aria’s heart sank beneath her feet. How did th

    Years came and went... After a warm shower, Oliver stood behind his wife to help her wear the necklace that was engraved with their children's names. "So, you know what today is?" He asked as he placed the necklace around her neck. "How could I forget?" Claire arched an eyebrow. "You've been talking about it for months.""Yes... because I've been preparing a vacation for us for when this day comes. I can't believe it's been eight years already," Oliver remarked. When he was done putting the necklace around Claire's neck, he placed a soft kiss in the crook of her neck before saying, "You've made me the happiest man on earth, Angel."Claire sighed before leaning back into Oliver.

    "Uncle Jake. Remember how you owe me?" Thalia said with her arms crossed over her chest. "I'm here to collect."Oliver, Jake and Liam were left to babysit the kids while their women went out to relax. The men chose to let the kids play in the playroom while they caught up on a few soccer games that they had missed during the week. However, Thalia saw this as an opportunity to collect her debt from one Jake Norton. He was seated in the living area, invested in a soccer game when she confronted him. Jake's eyes widened. He didn't expect the little one to interrupt him when the game was just getting good. His favorite team were leading and he wanted to see how it would end. He chuckled and replied, "You want to collect now? Let's wait until the game is over, ok?""Are you trying to run away from paying your debt, Uncle Jake? A real man sticks to his words," Thalia remarked in her adorable voice. Jake sighed. He said, "Ok, you win, sweetheart. So, tell me. What do you want me to do f

    A few weeks later..."I can't believe you guys are having a double wedding! I'm so freaking jealous! I want to get married again so that we have a triple wedding!" Claire exclaimed after Quinn and Aria were done with their makeup."Oh my... you two look so gorgeous. I love the designer wedding dresses," Claire remarked with a smile plastered on her face. "It was more convenient since we were both getting married this year. Besides, Jake and Liam are ecstatic about getting married on the same day," Quinn replied, smiling. They had come to that decision during Thalia's birthday party. Oliver suggested it and the rest thought it was a good idea. "I'm more surprised that Aria is getting married. She's just a year older than me. We promised to get married at thirty," Evelyn remarked. She sighed and looked at her friend in awe. "You make such a beautiful bride, Ari. Congratulations."Aria smiled, looking at herself in the mirror. She couldn't recognise herself. With her hair pulled up int

    Liam entered Aria’s apartment for the first time. He noted how cosy and homely it felt. There were blue couches in the living room and grey curtains on the windows. Liam’s eyes fell on the portrait of a little boy hanging on the wall. His heart raced as he looked at the boy who had dark brown curly hair with fair skin and hazel eyes. ‘Is that my son?’ He thought in his mind. The boy took after Aria but he had his eyes. Liam's heart felt warm. He glanced at Aria and eagerly asked, "Where's Jayce? Where's my son?""He should be in the kitchen with his nanny. Let me get him," Aria responded, her stomach a bundle of nerves. She still couldn't believe what was happening. It all felt surreal. Just the previous day, she didn't know who Jayce's father was, but now, not only did she find out who it was, but he also proposed to her. Who knew she would end up with the stranger she had a one-night stand with?Her heart was filled with warmth and sweetness. Aria looked for her son and sure e

However, that was just it. Liam never made a move on her or spared her a glance. Sophia thought since he was a player, it wouldn’t be hard for him to fall for her.

    Liam’s heart was beating like a drum within the walls of his chest. He took in a deep breath as he held the envelope. His friends stood beside him, waiting to read the results with him. Oliver patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry… even if you don’t turn out to be the father, you still love Aria and you will be with her.”“That’s right. Look at me and Lucian. We may not be related by blood but he’s my son and I love him. I’m sure Aria’s son will love you regardless.” Liam let out a breath. He glanced at his friends and they nodded at him in encouragement. Ignoring his pounding heart, he opened the envelope and took out the document with trembling hands. “The results are usually at the bottom of the page,” Jake remarked. “Don’t waste your time reading the statistics.”Liam’s eyes went to the bottom of the page and he read the results in his heart. A smile crossed his lips before it turned into a grin. “The child is mine! Aria’s son is mine! Haha! I have a son!” Liam exclaimed,

    “What?” Jake’s eyes were almost popping out of their sockets. “Is it the same Aria we all know? Wait, she’s back?”Liam almost laughed at his friends' reaction. He knew they would be shocked. He and Aria had a huge age gap but surprisingly, they got along well. No one would know they were nine years apart in age if they saw them together. This was why Liam was convinced she was the one. He wanted someone he could relate well with as a wife. Forever is a long time to be with someone you can't stand. He nodded and replied, “Yes, it’s her. She’s working at my company-”“Liam… she’s like a sister to me. Are you really in love with her or you’re taking advantage of her?” Oliver questioned, his eyes narrowed down at his friend. “I wouldn’t propose to her if I didn’t love her-”“You what? Are you crazy? Do you think Uncle Adrian will agree? He knows you’re a player,” Oliver said. “You could have started by winning him over first.” “Well, I’ll do that but first, there’s something I need he

    Liam's hand trembled when he held the familiar bracelet in his hands. What did this mean? Why was this bracelet with Aria?He took in a sharp breath, his heart clenching at the memory that flashed through his mind as he examined the bracelet. It was definitely this bracelet. He may not remember anything from that night but he remembered how brutal he was. The drug had taken full effect and he lost control. It was like a beast within him was unleashed and he devoured the woman who had walked into his room without mercy.This was why he felt guilty when he found out it was Sophia. He was so rough and probably hurt her during the session. This was why he kept her around to compensate her. However, the bracelet in his hand brought back part of his long-lost memory. The woman beneath him was struggling when he became so rough he had to grab her neck to pound into her like a crazed beast. He recalled how she held his wrist and the bracelet in his hand was on her wrist. The bracelet was m

    "Why can't you take me seriously, cupcake? I really want to marry you," Liam said after Aria tried to brush off his words as bluff. Who didn't know that Liam never wanted to get married? He had been announcing it for years since she knew him. She chuckled and uttered, "You don't need to lie, Liam. I know you." Liam furrowed his eyebrows. He remarked, "There you go again using my reputation to judge me. I want to marry you, Aria. You're the right one for me... I can feel it in my bones."“B-But you haven’t even met my son yet,” Aria mumbled when she realised he wasn't joking. “I’ll meet him before we have our wedding,” Liam replied. Aria’s eyes widened into saucers. She asked, “We will have a wedding?”“Of course! Isn’t that how people get married?” Liam arched an eyebrow. “I thought you wanted a contract marriage. Like you need a wife and I’m available-”“It’s not a contract. I want to marry you for life,” Liam proclaimed. “Till death do us part.”Aria bit her lower lip as she th
