LIAM'S POV Rylan's call came in again, and I picked it up, causing a distraction as I stood up again from the chair. “Hello”, I said, and Rylan's voice broke through the speaker. “Liam”, He called, a little bit restless. “You were right; there is actually one of them who receives a call outside and finally goes inside the hospital,” Rylan said, and a frown settled on my face. “Name of the Club,” I asked as I rubbed the back of my neck. I am already getting frustrated. I was right after all about the stalker. “RV Clubhouse,” Rylan said and forwarded a message to me. “I just sent the picture to you”, He said, and I moved the phone away from my ear to see who it was. Clicking on the photo, the front of the Club building was sent to me. “Good. Let me pay them a visit.” I said and walked towards my table to take my car key. “Description Liam. I will look for him myself. I have men.” Rylan cut in before my hand could touch the key. My hand hung in the air. I took a silent sigh bef
LIAM'S POV “Do you think you can seriously force me to marry you back?” Emily asked and I drew her closer to me by her hand. Since she was wearing heels, her head almost reached my shoulder. “If I need to force you, then I will. If that is what you want.” I said, and Emily scoffed, followed by a low chuckle. I actually miss the jovial Emily. Even when we were on the verge of getting divorced in the past, I enjoyed the time we used together and our little banter. “You can't have a woman that way, Liam. I keep telling you, you can't.” Emily said and jerked her hand away from my hold. I knew she was not the type to be handled roughly, which is why I am trying to take things slowly with her. At least, with the help of the therapist, I have been able to learn a lot about how to treat Emily. I am doing everything for her so that I won't fail, and tonight, I will still go and visit the therapist myself. “Then do I need to win your heart?” I asked and a silence followed. “Will you stop
EMILY'S POV I never planned to let Liam know this way but I can't take it when he keeps trying to mess with my emotions. The news came as a shock to Liam and his expression was something I couldn't even recognise. This is the second time I will be seeing him getting surprised and terrified. “You have a child?” He asked, his tone dry as if he wasn't a little bit bothered by my confession. “Yes. I have a child. You must have heard the news about how I got pregnant for Vincent. It's true, after all, and I didn't abort the pregnancy.” I said to break him more so he wouldn't think I was joking. I never denied the pregnancy in the first place. “Get out,” He said, his voice unusually calm. I was actually expecting him to yell at me and throw me out, but he did the exact opposite, though he instructed me to leave his office room. “What?” I asked, trying to irk him more. “Leave.” He repeated in a more serious tone. And I did. I left his office room and locked the door. I sauntered
EMILY'S POV I focused my attention back on the document and went through it. “I don't know if we can talk elsewhere when you are done.” the same man said and Liam was the one who replied again. “What are you planning to talk about, Mr Jared? We will be leaving together as soon as we finalize the deal,” Liam said, and I want to smirk at him now. He wants us to leave together? And why is he not allowing me to speak for myself. ? “ I know my secretary is a beautiful woman so what are you going to talk about?” Liam asked and I tried to silence him by putting my heel on his shoe. Mr Jared smiled at Liam's reply. Don't tell me this man is interested in me. “You are actually right Mr Liam. I like her,” He said, and I wanted to ask these two men if they didn't know I was there. Why will they talk about me as if I am not in the same room with them? He likes me? “Oh, she is already married. I guess you will have to look for another woman.” Liam said and my eyes widened. Married? Di
EMILY'S POV When we got to the company, Liam unlocked the door and stepped out. I opened the door and stepped out of the car. We walked inside the company, and my eyes didn't miss the way the members of the company looked at me with mixed expressions. Of course, I know my style of dressing today is something that actually surprised them. “You will need to go through these files while I am inside the board meetings," Liam said, and my mouth opened agape because I didn't expect to tell me that. I guess I was the one who thought I could get inside the board meeting. I should have known Liam is not the type to let his guard down. “I will be in my room then; you can forward the document to me while I look at it," I said, but Liam didn't agree with me. “You will stay in my office room, Emily, and check everything, not the other way round. Okay?" Liam said and I agreed. I walked inside his office room and settled down. "It is going to take more than an hour. Make yourself comfortable
EMILY'S POV I survived the cruel fate when the police invaded the place, which was how I was taken to the orphanage home before Laura adopted me. Should I call myself an unfilial daughter for forgetting all these memories? “What secret are you talking about?" I asked, trying to maintain my composure. I am no longer the five-year-old girl, and though there are still some memories missing, I am sure I will remember them all in due time. “Seems like you remembered me after all. I will text the location to you. Come to the location alongside the money." He said in a commanding tone but I had to remind myself that he must have seen me somewhere. Why did he suddenly show up now? Where was he all this while? What secret is he talking about? However, I couldn't ask him all these questions because I was sure he wouldn't reply. Instead, I ask. ”How would I know if this is genuine or not? What if this is all a lie?" I had to praise myself because my voice didn't break as I uttered this.
LIAM'S POV Drinking myself into a stupor, I took my car key and left my office room with a bottle of whiskey. When I showed up in Rylan's clubhouse, I knew something was definitely wrong with me. Maddox sat quietly inside Rylan's office, looking at what he was doing. The moment they saw that I was the one who walked in, their expression turned to shock. No one has to tell me right now that I actually looked like a mess. Emily's revelation broke me more than my heart could take. This is why I hated the stupid organ called Heart. “Liam, everything okay?” Maddox asked as he stood up from his seat. He walked towards me and gripped my shoulder to support me. I didn't even drink that much, but it looked as if I was already intoxicated, which is nothing but a lie. I am not in any way intoxicated and I knew Emily is the root of all these. I sat on the couch and crossed my legs over another. “You are wasted, Liam. What happened?” Rylan asked and I took in a shallow breath. My hot breath f
LIAM'S POV Rylan has actually helped me a lot when it comes to anything about me and I must say I appreciate him a lot for this. However, Emily already got another phone, but I know whoever this stalker is, he will text Emily, and he will be looking for a way to invite her out. “Sorry, Liam. I guess you will remain a bachelor all your life or you can just get married to her sister.” Maddox said, joking around. “Say one more thing, dear Maddox, and I will seal those lips.” I threatened before relaxing back on the couch. My phone rang inside my pocket and I picked it up to see Thierry's name displayed. “Hello, sir; I don't think this is the way to miss Emily's apartment,” Thierry said and my eyes opened wide. The dizziness I was feeling disappeared like a flash. “What do you see?” I asked him. “It looks like the deserted part of the city but what surprised me more is that it's filled with deserted houses,” Thierry replied. “Hold on and keep tailing her. You must not miss her,” I
LIAM'S POV"I'm jealous," I said and Emily's eyes widened.She wasn't expecting me to say that out loud but I already did. I can't even believe in myself at this point."What?" Emily asked, her voice faltering at the end."Why will you keep calling him a pet name when I know?" I asked Emily and she smiled."I can't give you a pet name, Liam," Emily said and her eyebrows twitched. She is lying."Why?" I asked like a five year old desperate for candy."Because I don't want to." She confessed and I kissed her eyes.When she fluttered her eyes open, she was looking at me with her feelings bare for me.I wasn't not fucking joking about this. God knows I want to kiss her right now on the lips and bury my body under her warm own. Still, I wanted more. I want to know everything about Emily without her hiding a thing from me, though I already failed her.Should I just ask her about the accidents that happened a few years back and maybe Emily will tell me something, but what if she doesn't ha
LIAM'S POV I knew this was going to happen the moment I saw her all acting caring with that short dress she wore. Her innocent eyes were all my beast side needed to see to go berserk. And here I am, not able to hold back, claiming her lips even though Emily was actually protesting.Eventually, she had to cave in because I wasn't letting go. My hand pulled her waist closer and despite the pain I felt in my arm, I didn't let Emily go. She is so small against my tall body that was what actually made this sensual. The fact that she is made perfectly for me actually made me full and my tongue actually delivered the message I have for her.Emily moaned into the kiss and it took everything in me not to pin her to the bed. It was more of self-restraint before I could let go."I love you" I murmured against Emily's lips while her pupils dilated as she looked at me.I actually have a lot to say right now because I am the one who is stopping the detective from charging Aysel for instigated rap
EMILY'S POV"Mummy, are we going to keep living here? I like Uncle Liam and I like playing with him," Xavier said and there was no way I couldn't just shut him up when he already said everything."We will talk later honey. Just go and play for now and when I am back, I will let you know." I said but he refused to leave."I will get you your favourite ice cream," I said and he smiled at me, showing his perfect teeth and dimples, just like Liam. They actually looked alike."Come with me," I said, avoiding Liam's eyes as I made my way upstairs. It seems he wasn't following me at first but then I heard his echoing footsteps behind me. I pulled the door to his room open and let him in."I don't want to do this too" I began to pace around the room as if I was actually restless.Hell, yes, because I am fucking restless right now.How would I tell him I need him to undress?"What is it?" Liam asked and stopped my Pacing. I faced him, mouth open but no words came out."I..." I said but the w
EMILY'S POVXavier was busy playing around the house with some of the maids after coming from school when I heard the sound of the car honking. Liam is back from work.The guards pulled the door open for him and he drove in while I watched him from the balcony. He stepped out while Thierry walked out of the mansion to take the suitcase from him."Welcome, boss," I heard him say and Liam's eyes were focused on me. I took out my ear pods and put them inside my ear.I wasn't even listening to any song but I was clueless about how to react right now. What if he just walked in without coming to my side.Maybe all the kisses and hugs he gave me last night were just lies. Or am I the one putting too much effort into it?I looked at the sunset, but then I felt a shadow behind me, and my back stiffened. I didn't have to look at the person to know it was Liam. He is the only one who has the right to intrude on my privacy this way."Hello," I heard him say but I acted as if I didn't hear him. H
AYSEL POV"We had some drinks and I left her place. I didn't wait that long, so what's wrong she hasn't received a call from me." I explained as if I was actually innocent right now.I really have to do this to qualify as not guilty."Is that all you did there before you left?" The Detective asked and I answered Yes."Can we have your phone?" He asked and I am glad to know I acted fast.It was actually the best plan to destroy the phone and all the evidence left in it."I would have dropped it when I got to the station today but it actually fell from the stairs and it broke. I can't seem to repair it" I said in a pity tone. If I lied that I lost it yesterday, the detective will eventually detect that I was lying because my phone was working this morning and with my location being gotten this morning, they will realize something is fishy."Okay. We will try to recover the information from the phone because it will contribute to our investigation." The detective said and all I could do
AYSEL POVAfter escaping the car that tailed me last night, I had to sleep in the hotel room before coming to Father's place today because I needed to run away."Miss Aysel. Good morning." The maid said when she saw me coming in."Hi. I'm fine. I heard dad and mum are not at home?" I asked her for confirmation and she answered Yes."They aren't at home ma'am. They actually went to their workplace this morning." The maid replied and I nodded my head."I need to take something home. You can actually leave," I said and she bowed her head before leaving.I ran up the stairs as if I was being chased by a mad dog. Report came to me that Emily is still breathing well because she escaped and that has left me puzzled.Liam was even the one who got her escape. Now, I don't want to think about it. I just want to escape.My phone rang on the bed but I couldn't dare pick it up. I ran towards where the wardrobe was and pulled out my suitcase hastily before packing my clothes inside the bag.I thoug
EMILY'S POVI sat in the sitting room and dialed Chelsea's number on the new phone Liam gave me. My plan is to fill her in on what had happened."Hello Chelsea. How are you doing?" I asked her over the phone and she quickly answered."I am fine, baby. That place is actually quiet. Where are you?" She asked and I rolled my eyes."I actually have a terrible news and please don't be surprised too much." I said and Chelsea agree to be quiet about this."I almost got raped yesterday" I said and a gasp escaped Chelsea lips in shock I couldn't blame her though.I try to narrate everything to her and She listened attentively. When I told her Liam came to my rescue, she almost cried on the phone."Emily, I'm coming to see you," she said, her voice filled with concern. "I need to make sure you're okay."I smiled, grateful for her friendship. "Thanks, Chelsea. I'll be fine." I said and dropped the call. The maid served me some food which I ate carefully in order not to have indigestion.Liam ha
EMILY'S POV"What would you like to eat?" Liam asked but I wasn't in the mood to eat because I have no appetite right now."I don't want anything but Xavier might wake up in the middle of the night. He hasn't eaten tonight." I replied and Liam answered okay. He packed the car in a nearby restaurant and got down.He got the food and came back. "Wondering why I didn't lock the door," he asked, and I shook my head. There was no point in running when I knew he would eventually catch me. It was good staying put this way."I am not a little bit curious," I said and looked outside the city. I don't know how Liam felt knowing fully well that Aysel set me up.I arrived at Liam's place, feeling a mix of emotions. I came here not long ago and yet, I came here again. This time, it was willingly because he didn't force me.He led me upstairs and I realised the maid was already asleep. I was still getting used to being around him again. As we ascended the stairs and got to the hallway, Liam turned
EMILY'S POVI stood at the edge of the cliff, my eyes fixed on the spot where Liam had fallen. I blinked my eyes severally, trying to see if I was hallucinating but there was nothing in front of him.I pinched my skin and squeezed my face shut. I felt the pain and that was when realization dawned on me.Tears streamed down my face as I cried out in despair. I had lost him and the thought was unbearable.I can't even think about it because I could feel some hammering against the wall of my chest. It felt as if my heart was being ripped open and a painful cry escaped my lips."Liam!" I cried into space but there was nothing. "Liam, please!" I yelled and swallowed back as I sat on my knees."I love you, Liam," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "Why did you have to leave me?""I am sorry, please. Because I can't live without you. I should have known you were not joking but why did you bring me here of all places." I said and tried to see if he was just among them.He can't die becaus
