Later that evening, Riley was back from school, So was Mia. Because there was no one at home, Mr. Liam had agreed that Mia shall always be dropped at his residence so that we can leave together once it was my time to go. My departure time was 8:00pm, once Riley was off to bed. I had to make sure she had gone to bed before I left. Mr. Liam had provided for us a car that was to drop us home every evening. “Auntie”, Riley came running and gave me a hug. Mia jogged behind her, and gave me a hug too, after Riley. “Auntie, am so happy to see you, are you going to be here everyday?”, Riley asked excitedly. “ Yes dear, I am going to be here, taking care of you”. ********************* Once Riley had gone to bed, it was time for us to leave, right before I stepped out, a curious thought struck me, “I haven't seen Riley's mother anywhere, nor did anyone mention her”, a questioning look clouded my face, but I decided to ignore it and proceeded to leave. ***********************

“Good morning Miss Rosa”, I said as I greeted her warmly. “ Good morning too dear”, Miss Rosa replied with a faint aura of distress, leaving me concerned. I gazed at her intensely and asked, “what's wrong Miss Rosa? I noticed you haven't been okay since yesterday”. She glanced around nervously, ensuring we were alone before focusing on me again. Her eyes locked onto mine, hesitant to speak openly. “ Can I trust you Miss Emily “, she said as she looked at me cautiously, her voice barely above a whisper. My jaw furrowed and concern etched my face as I leaned in, “Yes please, you can trust me”, I said as my heart raced with concern. “It was Camilla”, she said as her hands fidgeted, betraying her nervousness. “Camilla, who is Camilla?”I asked anxiously. “Camilla is Riley's mother, she said she is coming back”. “Then why are you worried Miss Rosa, don't you want her to come back to the city”, her tone was a breathless eager rush as if she feared being interrupted. “ No.., tha

“Thank you so much for accepting my offer Emily, I am looking forward to doing great business with you, you're a really hard working lady, our company needs people like you”, Liam said as he maintained eye contact. “I am the one who should say thank you, I can never be able to repay the amount of kindness you have shown me, even with my life”.“You don't need to repay me in any way, it's your hard work and dedication that has enabled you to reach here today, for that you should be proud of yourself”, he said, with a smile across his face. A radiant smile illuminated my face, “but before I start working, I will need a lot of guidance to know more about how your day to day activities run, I hope you won't mind”, I spoke with a low and serious tone. “Not at all, my secretary still has a week before she resigns, she can assist you with that, you can start working today so that by the time she leaves you are familiar with everything”“Today….!”, I exclaimed in surprise. “Yes, today, do

“Why was she here, never let her in again, understood”, Mr. Liam spat out the words in anger. I could pick up the words even when I was outside. As soon as their conversation ended, Mr. Liam walked out, he brushed past me without breaking his stride. I slowly walked back in, Miss Sofia was on phone, talking to someone. “Yes please, don't let anyone else meet her, thank you”, she said, and hang up the call. “Is anything wrong miss Sofia”, I asked politely. “ No…nothing”, she stammered as her gaze darted away, avoiding eye contact. She walked towards the table and started organizing the documents. “Help me with these, you need to arrange them according to the date and urgency”, she said as she handed some documents over to me. ************** As the evening unfolded, It was time to leave the company. Not a word was spoken by Mr. Liam during the journey. A shadow of worry crossed his face, evident in his eyes. He didn't seem himself, I sensed something was wrong, but I chose not

His eyes locked onto mine, there was a moment of complete silence. My eyes flashed away, avoiding the intensity of the moment, seeking refuge from the emotional weight. Mr. Liam raised his hands on my shoulders, a gentle but firm pressure, his touch sending a shiver down my spine. “Emily, please marry me”, the words spilled from his lips once more, this time greater urgency. In that moment, time froze, and all that existed was the weight of his words and the confusion he unleashed within me. The world around me melted away, leaving only the echoing question and my own thundering heartbeat. I was shocked and surprised by Liam's proposal. “What did you just say?”, I asked, astonishment etched across my face, a stack and an unmissable declaration of my surprise. “ You heard me right, Please marry me Emily, I know this has come out of nowhere but please accept my proposal”, he spoke, his voice trembling with a note of desperation. His eyes had a wild desperate glint. “Liam, what do

“How do you know that name, I have never mentioned it to you”, Liam asked, curiously. “I overheard your conversation with Miss Sofia yesterday, and Miss Rosa told me about her”, I replied. Liam was rendered speechless by the sudden question, “ Does this marriage have anything to do with Miss Camilla's return”, I continued with the questioning. He gazed at me for a moment, clearly surprised by the words I spilled out. “Yes”, he replied firmly. “ I and Camilla had a very messy and bitter affair, it was toxic, we got divorced under harsh circumstances. She is a very cunning lady. “If you're divorced, then why do you care whether she returns to the city or not”. “You won't understand Emily, the divorce was against her will, she was forced into it by the circumstances. She has clearly come back for me”, Liam said, you could easily sense the intensity of emotions in his words. “Then how will our marriage stop her”, I inquired politely. “This marriage will be a fortress, protecting me

“Hey, are you okay Emily”, Mr. Liam asked upon seeing how changed my expression was. I quickly hang up the call, midway, and put the phone behind my back. “ Yah…, yah…”, I Stammered. “Okay, I think you can take your bags to the guest room, we were still preparing your rooms”, Liam said as he stretched out his hands, pointing towards the direction of the guest room. “Miss Rosa, please come lead Miss Emily”.I quickly grabbed my bags and walked towards the guest room. Upon resting down my bags. My thoughts kept drifting back to the call. I couldn't shake off the conversation I had on the call earlier. “It was Harrison, am sure, It was Harrison”, I murmured to myself, barely above a whisper. “Hey Emily, is everything okay, who was it on the call, you seem to be disturbed”, Nora asked upon seeing how distracted I was. “Nora, you won't believe it, the call earlier, I think it was Harrison”, my voice trembled with fear as I spoke. “ Harrison!”, Nora exclaimed, clearly surprised. “Yah,

Liam stumbled backwards, his eyes darting between us as if searching for answers. I shifted my gaze at Harrison. “Are you done”, I asked softly. “Yes dear, I am done”, he said as he turned his gaze towards Liam, who stood stiff. “What are you two doing here alone, where is Nora?”, Harrison asked as he glanced around. “Who are you to ask”, Liam asked furiously. “Emily is my wife, we can talk about whatever we want”.“Emily is mine, she may be your wife now, but she was mine first, and I am going to take her back from you” “Don't be so sure”.“ Of course I am, right Emily”, Harrison said as he turned his gaze towards me. “Can you both stop this, you're not kids anymore”, I said, my tone firm and fed up. “Emily, you should ask your fake husband to shut up”, Harrison said as he pointed a finger at Liam. My eyebrows shot up in surprise, and I shot a glance at Liam. His face lit with surprise too, he gazed at me continuously, and let out a sigh of disbelief. “ Emily, don't tell me you

Liam locked his gaze on me, for a moment without saying a word. “Why are you just staring at me, I thought we had come to talk”, I murmured softly, maintaining my gaze. “Yes, there are some things I want us to talk about”, he said firmly as he moved closer to me. “I want us to talk about our marriage”. My eyebrows knitted together as I tried to understand. “Wait, what do you mean?”I asked curiously. He slowly lifted his hands and placed them on my shoulder.“ Emily, I am talking about our marriage, me and you”, his tone turned cold, more serious and scary. “L..iam”, I stammered. “Are you talking about the marriage we all know is fake?”, my voice trembled as I spoke. “To you it may be fake, but to me… !”, he paused for a minute before continuing. “To me it's not”, he spoke, his voice filled with vulnerability. “L…iam”. “Yes Emily, So please don't abandon me for Harrison, please Emily, I need you too, Emily please”, he begged. His words washed over me, leaving me breathless

“Emily, Please don't do this to me”, Liam said as he held my hand. “Why would you do that to yourself, how did that even cross your mind”.“Liam, do you remember what the doctor said, ‘Mia has reached this condition due to excessive stress, which I am sure is because of her father’, I don't want to see my daughter suffer anymore”.Liam stared at me with an unyielding gaze, his eyes boring into my soul. “Emily, you told me Harrison has never loved Mia, why do you want to take back Mia to such a man”.“Harrison seems to be a changed man”, I murmured. Liam darted his gaze back and forth, a look of disbelief etched on his face. “Just a few words from him and you are already convinced he's a changed man, Emily, didn't you learn what kind of man he is, after all the suffering he brought to you”.“What if he really is a changed man, what if I can finally fulfill my dream of a complete family!”“Are you listening to yourself right now”.“Yes I am, and I know one thing, everyone deserves a se

We quickly rushed upstairs, towards Mia's room. Before we could reach the doorway, there was a man standing besides Mia's room, with his palms folded together, pacing back and forth. As we steadily moved closer, his image became clear. It was Harrison. I quickly moved closer to him, “What do you think you are doing here?” my voice laced with anger as I spoke. “Emily, please calm down first”, Harrison spoke. “ I am here to see my daughter, Mia is my daughter too Emily, please don't deny me the right to be there for my daughter when she needs me”.I stared at him with a look of disbelief. “Your daughter, Harrison! did you suffer memory loss or something, since when did you start considering Mia as your daughter”.“Emily, why don't you let go of the past, that was some time back, what matters is that I am here”. I chuckled Sacarstically, “What do you think I am, a toy that you can come too whenever your bored and ditch whenever you want”.“Don't talk like that please, I am ready to pa

He steadily walked towards us, and stood besides me as he reached. “What are you doing here Camilla?”, his face fell as he asked, his eyes clouding over with disappointment. Camilla stood still, staring at Liam, as a faint smile played on her face. “ Would you like to guess?”she said sarcastically. “Can you please stop your drama Camilla, please, this is not the right place, nor right time”, Liam murmured. “Ooh, so when is the right time, can you please inform me so that I don't get you in a bad mood at least for once”. We both stood still, staring at Camilla, without saying a word. Fact was I was too exhausted to argue with her, at least not when Mia was fighting for her life. “What? Why are you staring at me as if you have seen a ghost?, anyway it's okay, I know you two are just surprised to see me but I can't help it. I was missing you love!. She said as she moved closer wrapping her hands around Liam's neck. Liam quickly pushed her hands away, his voice firm as he said

In no time, the doctors ran past me towards Mia's room, the door shut right in front of me. My heart raced with anxiety and fear of what would happen next. “Mia! Mia”, a blood curdling scream escaped my lips, echoing through the hospital corridor. I quickly ran towards the doorway, trying to budge in but the doctors couldn't let me in. “Emily, Please calm down”, Nora tried to console me, but it was all in vain. “Please Emily, Mia will be okay”.“No! No! Mia!”, I spoke in hushed tones. I acted like I was going crazy, like my brain was short circuiting. “Emily, what has happened”, Liam came running. As soon as my gaze fell on him, I felt overwhelmed by my grief and I burst out crying, great sobs racking my body. “Li…a…m!, Lia.. m!”, I stammered, words barely audible through my sobs. “Mi..a!”, I stuttered as I pointed towards the ICU, where Mia was being treated from. “Sshhhhhh!, I am here now Emily, I won't let anything happen to Mia, I promise”, he said as he pulled me closer, pla

“I am afraid to say this but her heart condition has become worse”, the doctor said. “Heart…!”, I exclaimed in surprise.“Wait…!doctor, I think you're mixing up results with another patient, "My daughter doesn't have any heart condition”, I stammered, my heart racing with anxiety. “Isn't your daughter's name Mia!”.“Yes Doctor, her name is Mia”.“Then that's the one I am talking about, wait..!, you didn't know about her heart condition”.My jaw dropped and my eyes widened in shock as I heard the doctor's words. My body felt weighed down by the crushing news. I stumbled back, trying to balance, a wave of weakness washed over my legs, leaving them trembling. “Doctor, can you please explain more”, Liam asked. “Mia has a very rare heart condition, Anxiety induced Cardiomyopathy, a condition where chronic anxiety and stress can lead to weakening of the heart muscle, which sometimes leads to heart failure”.“Doctor, just tell us, what is needed to treat her, don't worry about the treatm

“It's about your daddy”, I murmured softly. Mia looked at me straight in my eyes, as though trying to read through me, “Daddy”, she said surprisingly, “what's wrong with daddy?”, she asked curiously. Liam turned his gaze and looked at me, my whole body was trembling out of fear of what was to happen next, he slowly moved his hand and placed it on mine, as a way of comfort. “It's okay, let me talk to her”, Liam said. He turned his gaze and looked at Mia, who stood still, confused on what was going on. “ Umh, you know Mia, your daddy won't be coming back to live with you”, Liam said softly. “He and mummy are not together anymore, so you guys won't be able to ever live together again”, Liam spoke calmly and carefully. Even before Liam could finish what he was telling her, tears streamed down her face like she already knew. Mia turned her gaze and looked at me, like she wanted to hear the truth straight from my lips, “Mummy..”, she stammered, you could sense the fear in her voice.

After a moment of staring at me, Harrison suddenly broke his silence. “Mia, Mia, where is Mia, I want to see Mia”, he stammered. Liam got his phone and dialed. “ Hello security, Please come in, we have an intruder. Okay, thank you”. He spoke. Harrison turned his gaze and looked at Liam, he folded his hands and pleaded. “Please Sir, please let me see my daughter just once, I am begging you please”.I looked at him and smirked, then turned away to leave. I kept hearing murmurs of him begging as I proceeded to my room. Nora jogged behind me too. She slammed the door shut as soon as we reached the bedroom. “Emily…..”, Nora said as she put her hands on my shoulder. I slowly placed my hand on hers, a gentle whispered connection. “It's okay”, I murmured. “Emily..!”, Liam's voice vibrated through the room. “Can I come in”, he said. “Yes please, come in”.“ Emily, I think I should leave now”, Nora said as soon as Liam entered the room. I nodded my head in acceptance. “Emily, are you okay
