”Relax, that is the package” I heard Liam's voice and my feet remained glued to the floor as if I was in a trance state.”How are you so sure?” I asked Liam and my voice almost faltered. I erased Liam's presence in the room and focused on his head because the room suddenly became too stuffy for me to breathe in.His reply came almost immediately as he walked towards me.”Don't come closer!” I screamed in my head but I couldn't say it aloud. ”No one can disturb us until 8 Emily. Open the fucking door for the maid,” He said, and this time, I decided to look at his face, and I regretted ever looking at him.”You should get your head checked up.” I snapped and bit the inside of my cheek. ”You are acting as if you owned this place when all they did was help us out.” “Deep down, I know you are happy to see me,” Liam said out of the blue, and I wish I could wipe that smirk off his face.”Don't forget to get the package, Liam.” I said and disappeared inside the room. Forgetting everything
LIAM'S POVMy hand didn't stop itching even as we were descending the stairs to meet Mrs Jones and finalise the contract. I know Emily wasn't aware of me watching her but she was right when he said I already undressed her.When I got the dress, I didn't bother to check if I had to leave the room because I received a call from Rylan. He was already asking me to come back to Los Angeles because it seemed someone was actually watching him, and it had been going on for two days straight.But here I am staring at the back of a woman who would do anything to get on my nerves. I averted my gaze away from her when I saw Mrs Jones sitting in the dining room with papers in her hand while Andrew sat close beside her.His expression changed when he saw Emily and I know that look. He thought he could hide it, but I could see through his innermost desire. That lust in his eyes didn't disappear for one bit.“Good morning, Ma’am”, I greeted Mrs Jones first and sat down on the seat opposite to her whi
It was already past 4:30p.m. when Georgia finally came to drag me to her room. She didn't forget the party and she was adamant in bringing me along.Chelsea called me twice and told me Xavier actually asked about me while she told him I went on a business trip.Vincent sent me a text which I replied almost immediately because I was online when he texted me.“Somehow, I miss your presence and I felt like coming over. Tell me, do you want me to take you away from him.” I read Liam's text and smiled before sending my reply to him.It's been more than 2 hours but he refused to reply.“Emily, are you not going to sit?” Georgia asked and I shook my head. Good that he called me, I would have been lost in my thoughts.I stood in Georgia's room, feeling a bit awkward as I scanned her wardrobe. Georgia was rummaging through her clothes, trying to help me pick out a dress for the party, and I remember Chelsea was actually good at doing these two.She has helped me out countless times when I was
EMILY'S POVThe feel of the water against my skin was almost freezing me and I wanted to scream, but before I could make a sound, Liam's hands were over my mouth, silencing me.I would recognise even in the darkness, and today, his large hand and the way he grabbed my waist gave him away. No strange man would handle me like that.Liam pressed his lower body against my back, holding me close as we sank beneath the surface of the water."Be patient, Emily," he whispered in my ear, his breath sending shivers down my spine. "Just relax," he said and an electric shock coursed through me.I tried to calm down, but it was hard with Liam's body pressed against mine like a second flesh. We were almost cuddling in the pool, and I could feel my heart racing with fear.Fear that people will see us and Liam will make the moment his.. that is his plan.“I’m not going to fuck you inside the water Emily. I will do that to you in a more convenient way and it will be memorable.” Liam said and I swallow
The car door was pulled open, and Georgia pulled me in for a hug before I finally got inside the car. Mrs Jones already shared a few words with me before I finally decided to leave. Liam made it mandatory that we leave early in the morning after Thierry brought along my suitcase. I bid everyone bye before Liam finally joined me in the back seat. Andrew didn't come out and I guess he must be embarrassed because of the fatal blow Liam gave him.There was silence in the car until we got to the airport. As usual, we had to drive the private jet back to Los Angeles. I slept soundly and only woke up when we got to Los Angeles. It was already past 6 o'clock when we onboarded. You2025-01-30 do”Liam!” I heard that familiar voice say the moment she saw Liam. I can't believe you travelled without informing me of your love” she whimpered like a kid.Aysel’s mouth opened agape when he saw me dragging my suitcase. I will tell a taxi driver my address and I hope the house wasn't jam-packed with t
LIAM'S POVThe air blew softly, making the air in the surroundings conducive to me. Thierry took in my luggage while Aysel tagged alongside me like a plague. I will spend the rest of my days hating.The girl is oddly annoying, but I keep having doubts that she is actually a goodnight girl and can't harm a fly.”Liam", She called my name as she got inside the sitting room, but I didn't want her anywhere close to me.”Throw her out of the house and make sure she never comes back here again." I said, and Aysel's eyes became watered as she tried to close the distance between us, but Thierry took hold of her hand and dragged her with him.She didn't stop screaming and thrashing against Liam. She didn't stop calling my name either.I walked inside and freshened up in my room. I changed my suit and took my car key.Rylan and Maddox were already at the club but I know seeing them will actually make the conversation better than anything.The two men didn't change their spot all this while.”Yo
Vincent wasn't joking when he said he was going to give it his all to win my heart. Last night, after taking me back from the airport, he insisted that he wanted to see me, and I had no choice but to come downstairs to see him.He was standing at one of the statue sides of the hall and offered me a place to sit and I actually sat down beside him. He told me about how he was trying to convince his mum, who was pestering him, to bring me home.Vincent is not that bad but I have reasons for not dating him. This morning as I got ready for work, his car was already waiting for me at the mansion. He got up early just to get me to my place of work. I quickly fixed up my makeup before coming down to meet Vincent.”Good morning, pretty lady,” Vincent said, and he raised his head to kiss my forehead, and I froze on the spot. I wasn't actually expecting Vincent to actually be the type to be touchy in a romantic way.“Morning, Vincent”, I whispered and flashed Vincent a smile. He took my hand in
I sat back down at my desk, trying to shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in my stomach after my encounter with Liam. I pulled out my phone and opened up Instagram, scrolling through my feed to distract myself.Perhaps he was trying to get on my nerves by acting like he cared. I don't know what the workers were busy talking about now but I doubted it could be something else apart from me.As I scrolled my Instagram page, I noticed a message in my inbox from an unknown account. Though my fans message me to praise me about my books and all. Maybe this was also one of them.I raised an eyebrow, wondering who could have messaged me at this time. I opened up the message, and my heart skipped a beat as I read the words on the screen."Hi Emily, I've been watching you. You're a beautiful writer, and I love your work. Would you love to be my girlfriend? I love the outfit you wore today" I felt a shiver run down my spine as I read the message, my hands trembling and I had to put
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
