“I hope you didn't take her words to heart, Emily?" Chelsea asked, playfully pouting her cheeks.

I nudged her side with my elbow, still looking at the direction Aysel disappeared to.

“I think I have gotten used to her tantrums," I replied in the best natural way I could.

Actually, I wish I could believe that, but, indeed, I haven't gotten used to Aysel's attitude because I didn't know what she was capable of.

Still, I didn't want to bother Chelsea too much because she also had her life to live. If I had known it was going to be so difficult like this, I wouldn't have started the fight.

“I love the fact that you stood up to her, Emily. A part of me has been waiting to see this. I don't have to worry about you anymore. My baby finally grew up," Chelsea ranted before ruffling my hair with her hand.

“Who told you I am your daughter, huh? What's with the motherly protection?" I asked Chelsea and this time I was looking at her.

“You can't understand even if I explain, Emily but my mind is

    Vincent bit his lower lip as he released his hand from my waist. My lips were still parted, forming an O because I never expected to see Vincent in Los Angeles.“You are still as clumsy as back then, Emily," Vincent muttered while he nervously rubbed the back of his neck.“Vincent?" I muttered again with uncertainty and a smile spread across his lips.He is still as handsome as ever but a lot of things have changed about Vincent. He is no longer the small boy who walks around with a wet nose. The suit he wore hugged his frame perfectly. It gave the impression that he was working in a big company. I just kept staring at him while he smiled before ruffling my hair like the good old days.“You are now a big woman Emily. How are you doing?" Vincent asked, smiling, and I laughed out loud because it was funny.“Did you expect me to tell you, oh V, I miss you because you didn't even ask of me," I Said mimicking a dry tone and Vincent.My heart warmed in my chest seeing my childhood friend in

    “Who is that man that escorted you out, Emily?" Liam asked for the third time with his forehead forming deep creases.So he has been watching us since I came outside with Vincent. My heart palpitated in my chest but I steeled myself.It's just a harmless question but a part of me proves to be stubborn. I couldn't tell him there was nothing between us, so I replied in the best way I could.“It's none of your business," I said, dropping the bag in my hand beside me and inhaling deeply.Maybe it would have ended if I told him Vincent was my childhood best friend but I was curious and I wanted to know where this conversation would lead.“Is he one of the men you promise to have a night with? Is that why you refused to answer my question?" Liam asked with the tone of his voice raised.My shoulder slumped when I realized Liam would never believe anything I said. Maybe that will make things even between us. Despite trying to keep a composed expression, his enraged voice shattered my existence

    It was already 7 AM when I woke up. After taking my bath and brushing my teeth, I changed into my nightdress since the gala will be in the evening.The knock at the door startled me because I suddenly jumped in fright. “I'm coming," I said as I made my way to the door. I held the door handle and pulled the door open after taking a deep breath to calm my nerves but to my utmost surprise, Liam is the one at the door.It wasn't Annie, Bentley or Thierry but the Devil himself. What is he looking for this early morning?I actually thought he was going to sneak into my room last night but after the small fight, Liam seems to have gone back to how things were.Maybe he finally realized we don't have a future together.“You should pack a few clothes because..." Liam hesitated as his eyes raked through my body.I turned rigid when I saw the way he was looking at me and my eyes seemed to dart between him and my chest. Alas, I was right.It doesn't feel right, considering the fact that Liam is

    The sun cast its warm glow on the city of Los Angeles but it was only 11 a.m. Annie brought out the suitcase containing my dress outside while I walked to her front.Today, I am wearing a cream-colored dress that was among the clothes Liam got for me.I matched the dress with a pair of black high heels while a small purse was clutched to my hand.Though I was expecting Liam to be in the car already waiting for me, there was no sign of him except Thierry.“Where is Liam?" I asked, my eyes darting around the surroundings while Annie stood beside me with the suitcase by her side.Thierry walked to my side when he heard my question. He bowed his head deeply and raised it.“He told me he will be back soon, ma'am," Theirry replied.“Then get the car ready." I order him in a warm tone. The sun is scorching today and I don't think I can wait longer under it to get my skin burned.“The boss isn't taking the car, ma'am," Theirry responded with his hand crossed at his back while he made a slight

    LIAM'S POVEmily's eyes looked lifeless before when I found her in that state but after regaining her composure, she suddenly went back to the kind of person she was which was why I preferred Emily to her sister.“How did you know what happened to me? Don't tell me you did a background check on me and brought me here knowing that." Emily ranted on and stopped. She wanted to say more but she hesitated, probably because she wanted to know if I brought her to the helicopter to mock her.“You told me yourself, can't you remember? On our wedding night," I replied and her eyes widened in shock.She doesn't believe me and I couldn't blame her. I didn't believe myself either because how could I remember what Emily told me years ago?“You are lying? I would never tell you that. It's not possible." Emily insisted, maintaining eye contact.“Oh, did you even know what you act like when you are drunk, Emily?" I asked her and a blush crept to her cheeks.They were so fucking beautiful, and I wanted

    EMILY'S POVAfter several hours of being in the helicopter, Thierry announced that he was already at the destination. Slowly the helicopter made its way down and stopped.Thierry got down first and pushed the door open to one side. Liam got down next, and I followed him out. “Get the luggage in," Liam ordered and Theirry did just that.My eyes took in the surroundings. We are now in New York, and I was right when I said Liam has a place to sleep here. The sun is not scorching again. Which made me realize it was already late in the evening.“This is my villa," Liam told me with his hand tucked inside his pocket.“Are we not going to go in?" I asked Liam in a weak tone. We traveled for more than 5 hours, and I was already exhausted. The sun is even about to disappear completely.“It's already time for the gala. However, you can freshen up." Liam said and I yawned, exhausted.We both walked inside the villa while Thierry left after taking our luggage in. The wall is made with glass whil

    EMILY'S POV “Your wife?" She stuttered as if she was finding it hard to believe.Her eyes doubled as she looked between me and Liam, trying to check if Liam was joking.“Yes," Liam replied in the same tone while it was his turn to look between them. Could it be that they have been in a past relationship? Because Liam even knows Jane's father.“When did you get married? You didn't even let me know?" The girl asked and she looked as if she was going to cry.Liam just smiled without saying a thing.“Nice meeting you, Emily," Jane said and I shook hands with her.“You too, Jane," I said before releasing her hand.“I think we are still going to hang around then before you leave?" She asked Liam and I scoffed internally.Hang out for what? Why would I even hang out with a married man? “Well, we are going tomorrow. You can hang out with him next time he comes." I said in my head but Liam's reply left me shocked.“Sure Jane. We will be leaving two days from now. I should visit your father,"

    I stood in front of Vincent on the dance floor while more people were already gathering around us. I took in a deep breath as I raised my hand to place it on Vincent's shoulder while my other hand grabbed his palm.Vincent secured his hand around my back and pulled me closer to himself a bit. He was tall, but I can't but compare him to Liam, who is of great build, though Vincent is not bad too.“I hope you can dance?" Vincent asked and I chuckled. “You will be surprised I can", I replied before giving him a go-ahead.We begin to move to the music. Familiarizing ourselves with the rhythm and matching up our steps, neither of us were talking, but Vincent beat me to it.“How has everything been?" Vincent asked as we began to move while he spurned me only to roll back to his front.“I'm fine", I replied as we moved in sync again.“I didn't know you got married", Vincent asked, and I wish he didn't, but he was my best friend when we were kids at the orphanage home before Laura adopted me.

    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

    EMILY'S POV"Mummy. Who are you talking to?" Xavier asked as he came to stand by my side. I couldn't stop him and Liam and had already seen him.I carried him into my arms. "Mummy is having a conversation with someone, huh?" I said but Xavier's eyes shone with recognition when he saw Liam. "Uncle Liam" he screamed in his small voice and struggled to get down. My heart seemed to stop beating when Xavier ran to his arms and he carried him up."How are you doing Xavier?" Liam asked and I had to use the couch as balance in order not to fall.Realization dawned on me. They know each other and it is not something I can imagine."Are you okay?" Liam asked, holding my hand but I shoved his hand away."Mummy. This is my friend" Xavier said and continued. "He gets me ice cream every day"I actually connected and I realised Xavier had been telling me these for the past month. I thought it was Vincent but I don't recall asking Vincent if he is the one.They knew each other.Liam knew I had a c
