It had been a week since Anna moved in with Jessica, and she had already eased back into her old life. Ethan had brought her suitcases and a few other essentials on the second day, courtesy of Mrs. Dorothy. Her bruises had faded a lot, leaving faint spots on her arm and a few scars on the parts where the skin was torn. Although the scars would take some time to heal, there wasn’t any more pain in any part except the one on her head.
That one was a slightly tricky one. Her wound had closed nicely, and everything was looking nice and healthy. Only a small part of the gash, like a finger thick, had yet to heal completely. The shaven hair around the area had regrown enough to cover her scalp. Despite these improvements, she wasn’t allowed to wash her hair yet, so she had resorted to using a damp towel to wipe her scalp clean without introducing too much moisture into her head. Sometimes, dry shampoo worked wonders.
Everything was going well except for one thing. Liam hadn’
Next chapterAnna arrived at the headquarters still fuming, and the early afternoon sun didn’t do much to help her situation. She tapped her card on the electronic card reader at the door, and with a beep, the card reader emitted a green light, prompting the security doors to slide open. She headed straight to the private elevator at the end of the lobby, pressing the top floor button.Once she stepped out of the elevator, she passed by the secretary’s desk in front of Liam’s office. “Excuse me, is my husband in his office?” she asked the young, relatively new secretary sitting behind the desk. At least that rude secretary wasn’t present today. Perhaps she was fired.“Yes, ma’am,” the girl responded, afraid to meet Anna’s eyes. From her lack of confidence, she was either a trainee or a naturally timid person. “Do you have an appointment?”“No.”
In the week that followed, Anna spent her time searching for the best divorce lawyer in the city. Her hopes of going the amicable way had been crushed time and time again when Liam refused to sign those papers willingly. It was partly her fault, too, for always giving in to his advances instead of standing by her decision. This method would cost her time and money, and, in addition, there was still a possibility of losing the lawsuit. Settling her divorce in court was a more complicated method she would have rather avoided if she had had a choice.In her search, she had quickly realized how much influence Liam had in this city. Every lawyer she had met so far had chickened out as soon as they heard they were going against the great Liam Parker. And the only lawyer who wasn’t afraid of him asked for an astronomical fee that was way beyond her budget.Anna sat in the coffee shop feeling defeated as she watched another lawyer walk out of their meeting after hearing
Next chapter“Jessica, this is so complicated,” Liam said, rubbing his tired eyes and shuffling his feet. Jessica’s mood was shifting too quickly, letting him know she was really pissed with him. he was treading a fine line and things would escalate further.“Then make it simpler,” Jessica snapped, her voice rising a note higher. “And I am not begging you. I am demanding answers.” She stood straighter, no longer leaning on the car, and took a step forward towards him. “You’d better give me a convincing reason, or your marriage is really over. I will make sure of it. And if you are in doubt, try me.”“Okay, okay, I’ll talk.” Liam held out his palms in front of him in surrender to stop Jessica from getting even angrier. He had a feeling she wasn’t kidding. She might change cities just to make sure Anna stayed away from him. He couldn’t let that happen because
Liam walked out of the room after having a door slammed in his face. He gripped his phone tightly, almost snapping it in half, as he descended the dimly lit stairs. He had a sudden urge to strangle Melisa for her wrong timing! Did she have to send that message at that moment?It wasn’t like he could forget that stupid dinner anyway. Thinking about it was enough to give him constipation. He has been thinking of ways to get out of it without raising suspicion from any of them. Melisa just ruined his perfect moment, which he had found with such difficulty.He hadn’t been able to sleep ever since Anna left him, and meeting her today reminded him of what he couldn’t let go of. She was his. Anna had to be his. He was willing to risk everything just to have her by his side again.He brought his other hand to touch his lips, feeling the remnants of her warmth on him. The memory of their bodies tangled a few minutes ago made his hear
“Your wish is my command.” Liam turned her around, her back slamming against his hard chest. One of his hands groped her chest, his thumb teasing her erect nipple, while his other hand caressed the bulge of her fine ass, his rock-hard prick poking her bottoms. He traced his tongue on her neck and she tilted her head backwards, granting him more access.With their bodies flush against each other, it was impossible to ignore how his closeness affected her. His skin was as hot as hers, a clear indication that she had as much effect on him as he had on her. Knowing this little detail put a triumphant smile on her face, and her stomach did backflips as his erection twitched behind her at her throaty moans. Her inner walls clenched, her juices trickling down her thigh. She couldn’t wait anymore.“Please,” she moaned as his fingers found their way to her folds, slowly circling her nerves while his other hand teased her nipples. A jolt of electric
