(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 POV) The maid brought in the wedding dress along with the jewellery I will be using for my wedding. When I woke up this morning, I didn't expect Vincent to have unchained my legs and I was clothed in a clean white wedding dress. After putting me on pills for the last few days I have been here. The maid combed my hair in front of the mirror and touched my face with some makeup. When she was done, she told me to wear the dress. I wore it without objecting, planning my escape. I picked up the scissors on the dressing table and placed them in the corner of my neck. The maid shrieked in shock and the door flung open. Vincent came in, wearing a dashing black suit. “What is wrong?” Vincent demanded in a harsh tone when he saw me holding the scissors to my neck. “What exactly does it look like I am doing? I am trying to stop this madness once and for all,” I responded with shaky lips, my pupils dilating. I still feel lightheaded from not eating. When Vincent took a step
(LIAM'S POV)My boot made soft clicks on the floor when I arrived at the venue. It was rather quiet and it looked like an abandoned street when I eventually walked inside. I didn't notice anyone initially but I ensured my gun was within reach. I pulled it out from my back pocket and hid behind one of the sofas in the room.“Did you bring the documents or not Liam?” I heard Andrew's voice through the speaker position in the wall.He is probably somewhere in the room, watching me but that is not actually a problem. He will eventually have to attack me because I know he wanted me dead. I tossed the document on the floor and looked around. “Everything you need is in there. Where is Emily?” I demanded and looked at the watch ticking.Rylan already messaged me that they are already on the way to meet Thierry. Though they both insist on coming with me first. I still have that fucked up belief that Emily is not here with Andrew.The two brothers were actually working together but they had di
