EMILY'S POVLiam was calling me his wife again, and strangely, I suddenly liked the name.“Emily woke up. It's just the alcohol working" I chant in my head like a lullaby.Liam took three steps towards me, closing the gap between them as he cornered me to the wall.“What are you doing here looking all ravishing like a dessert," Liam asked and his breath fell on the shell of my lips.“Oh God," I thought as I gazed at him with my amber orbs. “How could you wear this type of dress after my warning, sweet?" Liam said with contempt in his voice. It felt as if he was trying hard to hold back himself but I wasn't getting myself either.“You don't own me, Liam. I can wear whatever I want and..." whatever I was going to say got swallowed back when Liam suddenly shook his head while his hand grazed my exposed thigh like an electric shock.“I didn't say you could wear this and let a man hold you like that; what do you want people to say about you?"A gasp escaped my lips when his hand suddenly
I ran to the VIP section to get my phone and small purse. There was no sign of Chelsea in where I left her but I want to believe she has probably left.Retrieving my purse on the table, I walked towards the entrance of the Clubhouse as far as my leg could take me. The loud music didn't stop blaring hard against my ears with every step I took. I want to believe, Liam wouldn't come after me. He can just spend the night here and pretend as if he didn't see me.I will also do the same. When I got outside the clubhouse, my head buzzed, almost spinning and I had to place my hand on the wall for support.Taking a deep breath in, I walked towards the roadside to take a taxi. The alcohol I mistakenly took had intoxicated me but I need to get home as soon as possible. I don't want to hurt my baby. However, it feels as if I already spent more than four hours inside the club and there was no sign of any taxi coming my way.Frustrated, I sucked the inside of my cheek before a car suddenly pulled
For a moment I thought Liam was kidding but this man was not fucking joking. Infact, Liam meant every word he said. His hand pulled the dress down from my collarbone and I jumped in fright, creating more space between us.”Are you fucking serious right now? I don't want you touching me" I yelled as tears streamed down my cheeks. I have vowed not to be weak in front of Liam or anyone again but then my emotions took the better of me as tears trickled down my cheeks. Maybe I expected Liam to suddenly back away, giving me the privacy I want but Liam didn't. The truth is I was scared and I was happy when I saw him but a part of me was annoyed to see Liam among his friends while strippr dancing among them. I was actually Infuriated but there was nothing I could do.Liam only walked towards me, closing the distance between us and I swallowed the lump at the back of my throat.Liam lifted me up the floor in a bridal style whileI kept on hitting his chest.“Let me go!"“Get your hands off
After dropping the call I had with Chelsea, I made my way outside after having my bath. I was already dressed up, waiting for Thierry to approach me when I noticed Theirry was not in sight.There was no sign of him standing outside with the guards, which made my brows furrow until I heard the echoing footsteps behind me.”Where is Thierry?" I asked Liam who was dressed in a gray suit with his raven black hair falling on his forehead.“I told you he would be sacked if he failed to drive you to wherever you go. It was a promise you made to me to be accountable for his actions," Liam explained in his deep voice as he closed the distance between us.My lips parted as air escaped my lungs because Liam was fucking right about what he said. I promised to let Thierry take me everywhere, but I broke that promise first.“If you want to punish anyone, then punish me. He did nothing wrong," I said; my voice was a little bit calm, but internally, I knew Liam wouldn't let this go just like that.Li
Thierry drove the car out of the mansion and my gaze flickered between the road side and my phone. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be pissed right now or laugh because Liam's behavior was uncalled for. It was very hard for me to believe I actually fell for Liam's trick which prompted me to ask Thierry a important question.“Thierry, how did you know Liam?” I asked while browsing through my phone.Thierry looked at me through the rear mirror and our eyes made contact. I was actually expecting him to look at it because this is the first time I will ever ask Thierry a question relating to his and Liam's relationship.“Mr. Liam saved me from a group of loan shark thugs that threaten to sell part of my body if I refuse to pay my father's debt” Theirry said in a detached tone and I knew there was more to his story.“I met Mr. Liam one day when I was getting beaten up by the roadside. He took care of the men like a hero and hired me as his guard” Thierry concluded and I couldn't help but
“One more thing," Laura added and stopped. I raised my eyebrows at her, waiting to hear whatever she was going to spit out of that filthy mouth.“Are you still going to divorce him?" Laura asked and I connected the dots. She is talking about Liam and me. Is she that happy with the news with the hope that Aysel will finally get to be by Liam's side?“We both know you are not worthy of Liam and I am glad you decided to leave him," Laura added and adjusted the bag in her hand. Laura's face was still young and pretty as always. It makes me wonder if she is ever getting old because of her young features.Despite her beauty, she is just ugly inside and her character is rotten.“Liam can finally go back to Aysel, and I believe Aysel will produce good children compared to your barren self," Laura snickered with a smirk on her face as she waved her hand in the air.“Mum!" Aysel chipped in like a good child. ”I am not even pregnant for him yet," She whined, pouting her cheeks as she held on
I don't know how I am going to go to the hospital when Theirry is still in the car.“Is there anything we can do about Thierry?" Chelsea asked as if reading my mind.“I will just tell him I need to go somewhere with you and we will be back in a few minutes," I said and Chelsea agreed to go with my plan.When we got outside, I walked straight to Chelsea's car. Knocking on the door, Thierry rolled down the glass window and bowed his head before raising it.“I need to go somewhere with Chelsea and we will be back in thirty minutes," I said, but Thierry tensed up in the seat. “I mean it. 30 minutes," I added.“Alright, ma'am," he replied.“I will take my car," Chelsea said and I followed her.After leaving Chelsea Boutique with her car, we drove straight to the hospital. Ezekiel, Chelsea's brother, already told me to do some tests, which I did.I and Chelsea sat on the chair in his office when he came in a few minutes later.“Hope I didn't delay you much?" Ezekiel asked and I and Chelsea
When I walked closer to the entrance, I wasn't expecting Liam to have company but the moment I pulled the door open, Liam was actually on call with someone.Silly me! I thought he was with Aysel or maybe Aysel already found her way home. I shut the door and walked past Liam who stood beside the window.“Where are you going, Emily?" Liam asked as he dropped the phone to his side. He was already done with the call. Liam walked towards me and stood beside the couch in the living room.“Where does it seem like I am going? To my room, of course," I retorted in a cold tone and gripped the bag in my tight.“I told you about the event we need to attend. You should get ready," Liam said, and I blinked my eyes at him with my eyebrows raised.”Oh, sure," I murmured before looking at him. “But you tricked me into believing that Thierry will get sacked," I said more as a statement than a question.Liam smiled as he glided his hand through the material of the couch in slow motion. ”I didn't actua
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
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
