EMILY'S POV“You should send her out. We already rent the entire place," Aysel's voice boomed, cutting through the thick atmosphere while Chelsea kept on apologizing without moving her lips.I didn't utter a word as I made a U-turn to leave. What is Liam even doing here when he knows Chelsea is my friend?“Emily, can you wait for me in the car for a bit?" Chelsea asked, and I nodded my head, smiling. If I wasn't receiving any call, maybe she would have informed me and I would have asked Vincent to tag along.However, before I could make my way out of the store, a commanding voice stopped me from taking another step towards the entrance.“She can shop around if that is what she came here to do", I heard Liam say, but I didn't consider coming back.To save me the stress of replying to him, Aysel came to my rescue, or I should have said she butt in.“Why would you allow her to stay when we make sure everyone leaves in the first place?" Aysel asked, but Liam chose not to reply.I was abo
EMILY'S POVIn the morning my nerves were all over the place. My emotions were chaotic with a complex mix of excitement and nervously as I prepared for my interview at Smith Construction Company. I had been searching for a job in the construction industry for months since I was in Spain and the only company that finally caught my attention was Smith Company, and this opportunity seemed too good to pass up.As I got dressed and ready, Xavier was busy watching cartoons on the iPad I gave him, sitting on the bed. I was fascinated by the construction process, but the idea of working for a company that built homes and communities from the ground up was thrilling, and that was what my father was into. Estate development was intriguing to me.It wouldn't be a bad idea if I could learn from companies like that.“Xavier darling, Mummy is ready to leave," I told my little bunny after applying the pink lipstick.I already dressed Xavier up for school and his school bus will soon be here to take
EMILY'S POVI left Chelsea's place after getting the dresses. I took my time to look around the street before getting inside the taxi. Instead of going home straight, I decided to visit Vincent's place of work Unfortunately, Vincent was unable to see me until I left the company. He was super busy with work piling up lately. It was amazing how Vincent was able to make time for it despite being this busy.When I got to the company, I refused for the secretary to inform him of my presence because I didn't want to disrupt his work, hoping that eventually he would turn up at his office. Sigh, today was not my day though. In the end, I quietly left through the underground car park. Telling Vincent about my suspicions of Xander stalking me would only add to his troubles and that was what I wanted to avoid the most.On getting home, I quickly took my bath and headed to the sitting room to wait for Xavier to arrive from school. I took my time to cook the food.When Xavier got back from scho
EMILY's POV The light peeked in through the open window as I winded down the glass window. Vincent occasionally glanced at me through the corner of his eyes stealing glances while I was busy listening to my favourite song.He was worried about me without a doubt, which was reassuring, not also a bit uncomfortable in the sense I could not shake off the thought at the back of my head that I was a burden to him. My eyes closed as I immersed myself in the music. It was one of my favourite songs written by Marina Sawyer about a missing rib and an unrequited love.I was so lost in the moment that I didn't even realize I was singing the lyrics out loud with passion word by word until I felt Vincent lightly tap my cheeks. “That is also my favourite song", Vincent whispered to the shell of my cheeks before facing front again as he stepped on the pedal. A light chuckle escaped my lips at his mischievous behaviour.I didn't stop glancing through the side mirror to check if any car was tailing
LIAM'S POVThierry breathes heavily after taking several different pictures of Emily. He sent them to me and my anger only doubled. How could she be living here while I am here suffering? If I had known Emily came back to Los Angeles, I would have hunted her down.But now that she is back, I will make it a priority to taunt her every day. It wasn't hard to find out she actually got a new job. Of course, the Smith Construction company is just beneath my feet.I won't hesitate to crush them into pieces if needed. No one can lay a claim over Emily.The only thing that puzzled me was the relationship she had with Vincent. I couldn't find any clue where they travelled to and what really happened. Did they get married there?The thought alone almost burned me, but I managed to calm myself.“Sir, she left in the taxi," Thierry said, standing outside the car with a bow.”We won't tail her again today because you kept losing her." I said and a mischievous smile graced my lips.“Take me to th
EMILY'S POVThese past few days, it felt as if someone was watching me, but I doubt that could be true except Liam, of course. There should be an exemption for crying out loud but that guy is a dick head.After the encounter I had with Liam at Chelsea's store and the continuous message he kept sending which I refused to answer, I never saw him again. Also, he stopped texting me for like a day now.Maybe he already got tired of me after I continuously ignored him. He had better be to save us the stress.I tidy up my room after tying my hair into a ponytail. Xavier was already dressed up for school and he wouldn't be back until 5 pm. My boy has learn how to write ABCD and 123.He now recites poem for me and also sing their school national anthem. My boy is gradually growing in wisdom and understanding.Chelsea called me this morning to inform me that she will be coming to my place. I thought she had something important and would get here an hour after she called, but Chelsea is not here
EMILY'S POVThe club was bustling with people the moment we walked in. I could already spot a few familiar faces of the people working in the company. When I spotted my team members, I walked towards them slowly announcing my presence in front of them.“Wow, we almost didn't recognize you in this stunning dress." One of the guys said, taking in my appearance.I rubbed my shoulder slowly. Chelsea brought me a short bum and fish-like net leggings to wear. I matched it up with black heels and a black crop top with an off-shoulder sleeve.Chelsea greeted them, bowed her head slowly at them, and nudged my shoulder with hers.“I always told you Ms Emily has a beautiful shape. You look stunning, "one of the girls said.“You look beautiful yourself," I said, complimenting them. “Have you seen Mr Smith at all?" One of the girls asked me, and I shook my head because I hadn't spotted the CEO since I got here.“Are we going to sit separately, or do we just need to mix with the crowd," I asked w
EMILY'S POV Mr Smith didn't send for me until everyone began to go their separate ways. Chelsea came to my side and tapped my shoulder lightly.“You ran away for your dear life, huh? Let's get going before I bump into him again." I said and Chelsea grinned as she kissed my cheek lightly.”I am so sorry. I actually saw someone I knew so I couldn't call your attention. Also, it was a surprise to see Liam here" Chelsea said and kissed my cheek again.“I will forgive you just this once. I was able to make some friends, though," I said as we both made our way outside.Someone bumped into me, and I almost fell, if not for Chelsea, who helped me out. I was expecting the person to apologise only for me to see that it was a man.He was putting on a face cap, wearing a black Polo shirt and his breath reeked of alcohol.“Aren't you going to apologise for bumping into her?" Chelsea demanded in a clenched tone and I couldn't help but caution her a bit.The man bowed his head before disappearing
EMILY'S POVMy heart felt ripped as I looked at the moon in the sky. The truth is, I was hoping Avery would be captured today, not knowing it was all a lie.I watched the news, hoping she would eventually be captured, not knowing it was a lie. I thought Liam would take action and make sure she was punished, not knowing she would be set free. The police are looking for her? So Liam seriously wants me to believe that?And when I told him he was doing that because Aysel was his lover, he didn't deny it. I actually wished he would say no and try to explain but when did Liam ever do that?"I don't know what to do at this rate," I said and tried to remember John's number by heart.I dialed his number after pressing the digit in but instead, the moment he picked it up and I said Hello, the phone was taken away from me. It was Liam after all. "What are you doing?" I demanded and trt to take the phone from him.Since when has he been here watching me when I didn't even know? Did he eventual
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 POV After 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.
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
