All Chapters of The Echoes Of Betrayal: Love Reborn : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

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

“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,

“No matter what, I won't let you go, you are mine, and only mine Liam”, she delivered the statement with unwavering faith. She turned her gaze and looked at me, “And you miss whatever, start counting your days in this house, because I am going to make sure you leave. She stared back and forth from me and Liam, “expect me here anytime soon”, she said as she turned away and left. As soon as I watched her step out, l released a sigh of relief as I leaned on the table for support. Liam stared at me without saying a word. “Are you scared Emily?”he broke the silence. I firmly shook my head “no”. “ Don't worry Liam, I am okay”, I was trembling inside but I decided to keep my cool. “I will make sure nothing happens to you Emily, Camilla is a cunning lady, she likes playing dirty but this time round I won't let her win”,Liam said, with a hint of concern in his tone. “Why does Riley hate her too, even if she is cunning she could at least be good to her daughter right?”. “She exce

As I stood at the stairway, my gaze fell upon a man who was seated talking to Mr. Liam. I slowly stepped down the stairs, trying to get a clear image of who it was, but I couldn't seem to identify the person because he was facing in a different direction.Mr. Liam's gaze lingered and fell upon me, “Emily, please come, your friend wants to see you, he has been waiting for long”, he said with a bright smile on his face. I moved closer to them. The man turned and looked towards my direction. My jaw dropped and my eyes widened in shock as I looked at the man. It was Harrison. My heart skipped like it was about to jump out of my chest. My breath came in ragged panicked gasps. Liam’s face scrunched up in confusion as he stared at me, “Emily, are you okay”, Liam asked as he tilted his head, his eyes squinting in puzzlement.I stood still, unmoving like a statue locked in a frozen pose. It was like my world had been put on a pause. “Emily, you're welcome, please come and have a seat”. Harr

“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.
