When I walked back to Father's office, he looked up, concern etched on his face.

"Everything okay?" He asked and I nodded my head, forcing a smile.

"Yes, father. Just a minor spill." I said calmly and sat back on the couch. The coffee spilled on the couch has been wiped off.

Aysel walked in just in time and sat down beside me.

“Penelope is not actually a clumsy type; you should forgive her," Father said,d, and I nodded my head.

“Everyone makes mistakes. It's fine Dad."

Father nodded, his expression serious. "Let's get down to business then."

"Where were we?" Dad asked, glancing at us. Aysel was the and who spoke first.

“About the managing director stuff," Aysel reminded him. Father nodded in affirmation.

"Yes. I've been considering who should take over when I retire and like I said I will pick between you two."

Aysel leaned forward, eagerness radiating from her eyes.

"I've decided," Dad continued, "to make it a competition between the two of you."

Aysel's smile grew, and I don't ev

This 'incident' is so lame. It was the oldest trick in the world. She was a rebirth person & she knew her 'sister' attic well yet she still easily fall for her act ? isn't the person who was supposedly being reborn given a 2nd chance would be wiser & smarter when facing obstacles in her new life ?

    My hands shook as I got down from the car. Aysel has been taken to the hospital, but I knew things were complicated now. Not only did she fall, but she also fainted, and I swear I was scared. I know I didn't push her but everyone already thought I did because I was standing at the same staircase Aysel fell from. I couldn't forget the image of how everyone looked at me with disgust in their eyes. Evident that they knew I did it. After paying the taxi driver, I make my way inside the hospital. The receptionist nurses were already in their position.“Aysel Anderson," I said in a clear tone. The nurse directed me to her room.When I got there, Aysel was lying in bed while a doctor was attending to her. I should have known my actions would result in this, but I underestimated Ansel's intentions. Something was up her sleeve and this was why she acted that way.“Are you her guidance?" The doctor asked and I nodded my head in agreement.“Yes I am," “Okay, is it okay if we discuss it here?

    “I will make sure to get you out today, Emily", Father said while I followed the two cops out of the room. The reporters were already standing outside the hospital gate, but the cops got me inside the car before they could swarm me with questions.They drove the car to the station, and I was led inside the interrogation room.”Your name?" The cop asked, but I kept silent.“Your name?" He repeated.“I would like to see my lawyer," I replied with my hands pressed to my thighs. I never thought I would one day come to a police station for an offence I didn't commit, but fate sure has its plan.“What?" The cop asked in disbelief before relaxing back in the chair with his hand crossed over his chest.“Then call him," He said."My phone", I replied, stretching my palm out. They already seized my phone before we got in here.The cop looked at me with frustration. He must have thought I was a spoilt brat, but the truth is, my lawyer is not even from my father's side.

    LIAM'S POVI was in my office dealing with Maddox and Rayne when I received a text on my phone. It was Emily's father that texted me which made my curiosity piqued.Checking the text, the message I saw made me clench my fist in anger, and even my two friends noticed the change in my demeanour.“Did something happen?" Maddox asked. Well, that was his personality. He wants to know everything which I no longer find annoying.I cleared my throat and said the plain truth. “Emily pushed Aysel down the stairs," I said, standing up from the chair. I picked up my car keys and removed my suit jacket from where it was hanging.“Who are you going there for? Is it Emily or Aysel?" Maddox asked and I frowned at him with displeasure.“Emily is in police custody while Aysel was admitted to the hospital," I said, letting them know who was more important to save first.“Let me guess", Rylan chimed, with his finger pressed to his temples as if he were in deep thought. “You are going to save Aysel first

The cop said in a cold tone.He must be angry because I refuse to say anything since we have been here. I know it is already getting late but there was no sign of Father or Chelsea coming.Even my lawyer hasn't come yet and I believe she hasn't seen my message since she was probably busy.“I think we will have to detain you, Mrs. Nolan, since you are not cooperating with us," The cop said and brought out the handcuffs.My hands were already lying on the table between us, all he needed to do was raise them and handcuffFor the first time, I will be sleeping outside which is the cell room. I shut my eyes when I felt the cold metal around my wrist, but the door was hung open, and I fluttered my eyes open in shock.Liam stormed inside the room with a neutral expression as usual.“Who are you?"

    I woke up feeling happy because my outline for the new comic book had already been approved by my agency, and I would be signing the necessary documents today.My phone rang inside my pocket, which made me stand up from the bed to check the phone. It was Aysel who was calling me.“So what do you have to say bitch" I muttered as I picked up the call.“Father wants you to come to the house this morning," Aysel said and hung up the call.I scoffed as I dropped the phone on the bed. I put on my dress and stepped out of the room, only to see Liam eating breakfast in the dining room.Liam stood up from the chair and walked towards me before I could get to the door.“Let Theirry drive you today," Liam said, blocking my way to the door.“Why?" I asked.He shouldn't tell me about the bullshit of wanting to protect me because I don't fucking care about that right now.“Thierry would have informed me yesterday if you had gone with him. Unless you want to see him get sacked, allow him to drive yo

The Editors already told me the contract had been sent to my lawyer, and they even gave me privacy by stepping out of the room for me.I kept checking my wristwatch, and not long after, a knock came at the door. My lawyer, Sheila walked in her high heels.“I'm for coming lat,e," Sheila said with a warm smile on her face and a sleek briefcase in hand."Please. Come on in."

    A week already passed, and Aysel's competition day was today. Liam and I didn't see each other much after the fight we both had. He now sleeps at his office and only comes home once in a while.I practiced and managed to practice with the piano. I know today is going to be a blast because I am going there to shame someone.I wore a light red dress and matched it with black heels. I applied to Makeup and adorned my neck with a silver necklace.As I descended the stairs in my long gown, even the maids were stunned when they saw me. I couldn't recognize myself when I stared at my reflection in the mirror.“Take me to Exor Hall," I told Thierry when I got inside.Since Liam made it clear to have Thierry around me so that he wouldn't get sacked, I have decided to just listen to him again. The car pulled out of the mansion and sped through the road. I pulled out my earphones and listened to classical music. Relief washed over me as I closed my eyes to let the music consume me.

One of the judges as she took the microphone from the MC.Aysel held her long dress as she walked towards me in her high heels on the stage.“Emily is my sister!" Aysel said, and everyone gasped in shock; confusion marred their faces. I sat with a relaxed expression as the judge looked in my direction with a questioning look. I nodded my head yes in affirmation that what Aysel said was true.The judge focused her attention back on Aysel. “That doesn't give you the right to accuse her because, to me, it seems you are the one who stole Miss Emily's song," the judge said, and I couldn't help but smile.Aysel's hands shook as she placed them on her chest in a dramatic way. “Tell them you stole my song, Emily!" Aysel yelled.“Calm down miss Aysel. Do you and Miss Aysel live in the same house?" The judge asked and I couldn't help but applaud the Judge for being wise.Aysel hesitated, and the hall r

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

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

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 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

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.

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.

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.
