LOGIN“My lawyer will bring the divorce papers tomorrow and you can sign it. Once it's a month, I will have it delivered to the court." Liam explained with calmness. “Fine, but you will have to act according to my rules now," I said, and Liam looked at me with eyebrows furrowed. “I have conditions I would like you to pay keen attention to it." Liam didn't pry too much, and instead, he told me to go ahead. “Okay. I would like to have my separate room." “Fine," Liam agreed without batting an eyelid. “I don't want to share meals with you or anything. I will walk the way I want and do everything I want in my way." “Accepted," Liam replied. I released my hands under my bosom and clasped them together. I bit my lips in nervousness and braced myself. I'm no longer a teenager. “I don't want us having s*x," I said, looking at the wall. A blush crept to my cheeks which made me shut my eyes tight, muttering some curses under my breath. * * * * * * * * Emily had an arranged marriage to Liam Nolan, the ruthless billionaire in Los Angeles. Although she always had a crush on him Liam never recuperated her feelings. Despite the love she has for him, Liam didn't hesitate to treat her like trash. Betrayed by her sister, Emily's life was cruelly cut short. However, she was granted a second chance and this time, Emily swore to not repeat the same mistake she made in her past life. What happens when she realizes her ruthless husband has no intention of letting her go in this lifetime? Would she find the strength to break free, or would Liam's relentless pursuit rekindle the flames of their passionate yet toxic love?
View MoreMarcia gently touched her belly, a faint smile curling at the corners of her mouth.
After three years of marriage, finally, she got pregnant!
If her husband, Alan, knew the news, he would be overjoyed, right? And Alan's mother wouldn't come over to scold her anymore!
With this thought, Marcia couldn't help but urge, "Please hurry up. I'm in a rush."
The taxi sped through the rainy night and finally came to a stop in front of an extravagant villa. Marcia, beaming, opened the door and walked inside.
She had planned to be away on a business trip for a week, but now she was back a day early. Alan would surely be surprised to see her, especially since she had an enormous piece of news to share.
With a sweet smile, Marcia quietly made her way to the upstairs bedroom.
"Honey... come on... faster!" A sultry voice floated from the room.
Marcia froze; that voice sounded so familiar. Her hand paused on the doorknob.
"Don't rush, baby! I'm not letting you go today!"
"Ah, honey, when are you going to get a divorce? Didn't her shares transfer to your name? Why the delay?"
"Why bring that bitch up now?!" A familiar male voice responded, tinged with disdain. "Her damned father is still watching me. But it won't be long. Hmph! Don't worry, in a few days, my mom will come over and scold her a few more times. That dumb pig might just hand over the shares willingly!"
The woman let out a teasing laugh. "You're so bad!"
"You like me being bad, don't you? Hmm?"
"Stop saying that! I don't!"
Even through the wall, the sounds were clear, intense and stirring, evoking vivid images.
Marcia pressed her hand tightly over her mouth, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave. The continuous moans from the room felt like a knife stabbing her heart over and over, each thrust painfully suffocating.
After a few deep breaths, she fought back the rising nausea and trembling fingers pushed open the bedroom door.
In an instant, tears streamed down her face like a flood breaking through a dam.
Her husband was there, completely naked, sprawled on the bed with her closest friend in an extremely intimate position, all on the marriage bed she had chosen herself.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Marcia's furious shout froze the two on the bed. Alan slowly turned his head, showing no sign of panic. Instead, he coolly sat up from Kate and frowned in annoyance.
"What are you doing back? Didn't you say you were on a business trip for a week?"
Caught in an affair and not even flustered? Marcia's anger at Alan's calmness made her tremble all over.
"ANSWER ME! What are you two doing?"
This time, Kate let out a mocking laugh, casually grabbing her underwear from the floor and putting it on. "You're not blind, so why ask? It's better you found out. Just get the hell out of here."
"This is my house! My father bought this house! If anyone is leaving, it should be you! " Marcia trembled with rage, pointing at Kate's familiar face. "You! Bitch! I treated you so well! How could you do this?!"
Kate abruptly sat up, grabbing Marcia's arm and slapping her hard.
"Bitch? Marcia, you're the real bitch! Alan loves only me; you're the one stealing him! If your family wasn't rich, do you think he would have married you? You don't know that every night he lies next to you, he feels like throwing up! "
"SHUT UP!"
Marcia screamed like a madwoman, grabbing Kate and retaliating fiercely.
She managed to slap Kate twice, leaving her momentarily stunned, as if she never expected the usually proud and composed Marcia to go wild.
Kate cried out, "Alan, help me! She's gone crazy!"
Alan's face darkened as he lunged forward, grabbing Marcia's hair. "STOP IT! Kate is pregnant!"
Pregnant?!
Marcia instinctively touched her belly; Kate was pregnant—what about her?
She was pregnant too!
Alan looked at Marcia with disgust, coldly saying, "If you're smart, you'll get out of here. Otherwise, we'll get a divorce."
"We will DEFINITELY get a divorce!" Marcia bit her lip tightly, feeling a wave of dizziness. "But before that, I will make sure you're kicked out of the company, you bastard!!"
Hearing Marcia's words, Alan's eyes turned even more sinister. He grabbed her collar with disdain. "Ha! If it weren't for me, do you really think your father's pathetic company could have gotten this far? Who do you think you are?"
Seeing the tears in Marcia's eyes filled him with a sense of revenge. Every time he saw her, that inexplicable feeling of inferiority surged within him. Watching her in this state felt immensely satisfying. He sneered, "Cry? Haha, let me tell you another secret. Do you know why you've never been able to get pregnant?"
Marcia's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Alan. He revealed a cold smile, exposing his white teeth. "Dummy, isn't that glass of water in every morning especially sweet?"
Kate stepped forward, wrapping her arm around Alan's, speaking condescendingly, "Alan, she's really so dumb!Hey, bitch! Now you know, right? Alan only loves me! Hurry up and get lost!"
Marcia's face turned pale as she looked at the smug couple before her, finally unable to hold back and vomited.
"You two will go to hell!"
Boom—
As if in response to Marcia's words, a thunderclap echoed from the sky, and suddenly, torrential rain poured down.
Kate, startled by the thunder, shrank into Alan's arms and said softly, "Alan, she dared to curse us. I—I'm still with baby!"
Hearing this, Alan fixed his gloomy gaze on Marcia's hate-filled eyes and raised his hand to slap her hard. "You filthy bitch!"
He became angrier with each slap, listening to Marcia's muffled groans, his tone rising with excitement.
"If you keep talking, I swear I'll tear your mouth apart. You didn't know how to scream in bed, but now you're really getting into it!"
Marcia struggled fiercely, but her strength was no match for Alan's. Seeing her fight back, Kate grabbed Marcia's hair, her face serious as she shouted, "Alan, kill her!"
The two of them attacked the defenseless woman like madmen, both eyes filled with frenzy.
The once proud woman was reduced to a pitiful state, igniting a sense of triumph in them.
But Marcia could hold on no longer; her eyes rolled back, and she fainted...
(EMILY'S POV) “You may now kiss the bride.” The MC said and Chelsea and her newlywed husband kissed. She looked so beautiful in her stunning wedding dress that took everyone by surprise. I didn't expect to see Diana and most of Avery's friends there but they were all present. “Now, there is a gift from someone among us to the couple who will remain anonymous.” The MC announced and I couldn't help but look around for my husband but he was nowhere to be found. “The two couples are given a free Visa to travel to Paris and spend their honeymoon at a beach which was purchased in their name. Which means, they won it.” The MC said and the crowd cheered when they heard him. The wedding was bubbling and my friend is happily married, which has always been my dream and even Ezekiel, her brother, was present. He was glad when he heard things were going smoothly between me and Liam. I went in search of my husband but then my phone buzzed with a notification. “Come to the last top floor of th
LIAM'S POV (TWO WEEKS LATER) I watched Emily as she continued to sing while cooking in the kitchen. After I was discharged, she has spent almost every day taking care of me. She bathes for me, dresses for me and helps me with everything I need. She went as far as telling all the maids to go on leave because she wants to stay with me. My phone rang and I picked up the call. It was Rylan. “Hello,” I said in a low voice, making sure Emily didn't hear us. “I made sure to torture him well today and he has been begging for death so badly,” Rylan said, he is literally enjoying this, just like me. “Make sure he is alive to witness more punishment on earth,” I said and crossed my legs. Xavier was busy playing with his toys and occasionally, he would come to check on my stitch wound. I had to fake Vincent's death with the media. I knew I was supposed to get Andrew instead but I want the whole world to know about him and the only thing that will keep him in jail is his brother. He knew ther
….BACK TO PRESENT (EMILY'S POV) When I heard Vincent's story, I burst into tears. Life can be so cruel and the truth is, they didn't deserve it. They were so young and yet all that happened. “If only the policeman didn't sleep with mother. If only your father didn't work in your company then it would have been different.” Vincent said and adjusted his tie. “Because two weeks later, the real mastermind behind the embezzlement was actually arrested, and that was when any family could adopt us, but did you even know the most painful part, we lost Gina. Because of the food she consumed during her mother's absence. We lost her but your family lived as if nothing happened.” He said, getting his teeth. They lost everything, their home, their parents and their lives because they didn't stop living in the past. I doubt Liam's father would have done something like that. He actually ruined their lives. “I doubt your father even tried to look for us. He didn't even bother, and the m
(✿ ♡‿♡) SIXTEEN YEARS AGO.(✿ ♡‿♡)(VINCENT POV)I stayed cooped up in my room, trying to put Gina to sleep, but the noise coming from mother's and father's room wouldn't let us sleep. They were arguing again, and this has been happening since their father got sacked from the company because he embezzled money from the company. He denied it and admitted that it might have been someone else.Though I am still small, the student wouldn't stop teasing me with it and it stopped us from going to school.“Honey, I will try to get you a good lawyer. We only need to pay them some money. If you are proven innocent, the company will have no choice but to take you back.” I heard my mother say,She insists that Dad should try for a trial of the case and maybe he will be sent free. Andrew was sleeping soundly because he is a heavy sleeper but Gina wouldn't stop crying. She is just 11 years old but she knows a lot about what is going on in the House.“The loan shark wouldn't stop coming
EMILY'S POVNow that she has already admitted to her crimes, it won't be a problem."I am so happy you helped me out, detective. I didn't know she was this cruel. I thought I was thinking we could get closer in the future without sharing a conversation with a murderer whose intentions for me are ve
EMILY'S POV"Each passing day, I was hoping you would come back because I am surprised Emily looked a lot like you. I wanted to ask you questions without knowing you are out here." Father lamented and Liam held on to my hand while his other hand rubbed my back. He was standing behind me but all I s

AYSEL POV A few hours later, the gate was unlocked and the detective told me to come out. I took a deep breath and shut my eyes. "Come out!"
