Liam’s POV

It’s been three days since Emma was home, meaning it’s been three days since I last saw and spoke to her.

Today’s Monday, though, and it’s the start of a fresh week, so she was bound to come back home today. At least I hoped she would.

“Morning, babe,” Anna chirped up from behind me.

It was around 7:30 a.m. and I was getting ready for work when she walked into the bathroom where I was brushing my teeth.

“How did you sleep?” she asked as she snaked her arms around my waist from behind.

“Short,” I responded as I spat out the toothpaste from my mouth.

“Short?” she repeated, but in the form of a question.

“Mhm”.

“You couldn’t sleep?”

“Nope”.

“Is something the matter? Did I do something wrong?” she asked, pouting, as she unwrapped her arms from me.

“Nothing at all,” I answered, then rinsed off my mouth and dried it with a towel. “You didn’t you anything,” I continued as I turned to face her. “I just had a lot on my mind that didn’t allow me to fall asleep early enough

  • Her Unexpected Love Story    Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Three

    Liam’s POVLast night, as Emma and I were at her parents' place, while she spoke with her mum just before we left, it hit me that to properly start this new journey with Emma, whereby our marriage is free from anything linking back to the initial agreement that got us married in the first place, I had to cancel the deal my father has made with hers two years ago. Of course, that wasn’t a conversation that was going to happen on the spot. However, it didn’t feel right to have it drag any further than it needed to. So, while Emma was engrossed in conversation with her mother, I spoke to her father in a hushed tone, asking him to come to my office this morning for a talk. It wasn’t a conversation that I wanted to involve Emma in until things between him and I were settled, so, while Emma was a bit upset with me this morning, as we both got ready for work, because I chose to continuously evade giving her an answer when she asked what he and I spoke about last night in hushed tones, I fi

  • Her Unexpected Love Story    Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Two

    Emma’s POVThe next day, after Liam and I made the engagement official with a ring, he and I headed to his mother’s place to pick Amelia up and, while there, she obviously saw the ring, which led to us spilling the news. As expected, she was ecstatic about it and was more than ready to burst into event planner mode, just as she did when he and I were getting mercies the first time.While I appreciated her kindness and willingness to do it, I didn’t want this ceremony to be as big or loud as the first one, especially since the press and the world already had the idea that Liam and I were already married. I wasn’t ready to raise any suspicions nor did we have any proper excuses we were ready to give if the event was publicized. I mean, if we said we were renewing our vows, who would believe us, especially when we’d been married for less than three years? That aside, I really did want this ceremony to be small and intimate – my perfect dream wedding. When I told Maria that I wanted a s

  • Her Unexpected Love Story    Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-One

    Liam’s POVIt was currently Friday, meaning Emma has officially been back to work for a full week now. On the other hand, it also means that it had been six days of me asking her to remarry me and her telling me that she needed to think about it. I wasn’t about to pressure her more than she already was, so I tried to distract myself from it by immersing myself in work this weekend while at home with her. At the same time, I wanted her to also feel relaxed, so I sent Amelia away with my mother for the day to give Emma room to catch a breath this weekend. “Hey, are you up?” Emma’s voice spoke up from behind my bedroom door following a knock. I didn’t want to stress my voice by shouting a response, so I stood up from my desk and went over to the door. “Good morning,” I greeted her with a small smile as I opened my door. “How are you?” I asked, leaning on the door frame with my arms folded across my chest. “I’m good,” she nodded, unable to maintain eye contact with me. “You?”“I’m fin

  • Her Unexpected Love Story    Chapter One Hundred and Seventy

    Emma’s POVAfter hours of work that were mixed with hours of contemplation following me and Liam’s conversation from that morning, the work day was finally over, and it was time for me to go home. I knew that if I went home, I would have to confront the situation at hand between Liam and me, which I was not prepared to do, at least not before talking to Sammy first, and since I felt this was a conversation that I had to have with her face to face, I did the same thing of calling Liam ahead to let him know I’d be coming home late. “Hey,” his raspy, tired voice spoke up as he picked up the call. “How are you?”“I’m good, how are you?”“I’m okay”.“Are you sure,” I asked, worried. “You sound tired and stressed out. Are you still at the office?”“Yeah, I am. I’m tired, but I have a case I’m working on right now and want to try and make some progress with it before leaving here”. “Hm. Alright then. Just take it easy please”. “Yeah, I will,” he said. I could practically hear the smile i

  • Her Unexpected Love Story    Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Nine

    Emma’s POVThroughout my drive to the office, all I could think about were Liam’s last words to me before he left the house. Considering how shocked I was by everything he had said, it goes without saying that I had no adequate response to give him at that moment. All I could muster at that point was, “I’ll think about it”. Shit. One thing for sure was that I know I definitely didn’t even say those words in a reassuring tone or anything, because the way his face fell once the words left my mouth was enough to let me know that he was disappointed. In my defense though, it was all too sudden. I felt cornered and just didn’t know what to do.“Emma! Hi!” my coworker, Dina, startled me out of my reverie as she knocked on my window. “Hey, Dina,” I rolled down my window and smiled at her. “You startled me”. “I’m sorry,” she laughed. “One of the janitors mentioned he saw you pull in a few minutes ago and, since you hadn’t come in yet, I decided to come down and check on you”. When she sa

  • Her Unexpected Love Story    Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Eight

    Emma’s POVIt had been a bit over four months since I gave birth to Amelia, and it was finally time for me to go back to work. Normally, I should’ve resumed last month, but the management of the Fashion House asked me to stay back a while longer because they didn’t want to stress me out and all that. I definitely wasn’t going to argue with them, so I obliged, but I kept it down to a month extra because, truth be told, while I’ve been having the time of my life caring for my daughter, it’s been very exhausting and I need a break. I need to get some normalcy back in my life and the only way I can achieve that is by going back to work. Thankfully, today was finally the day. “Emma!” my mum’s voice called out to me from behind the front door after she had knocked. “Coming!” I responded, placing Amelia down on one of the chairs in the living room and rushing to open the door for my mum. “Hey, mum,” I hugged her. “Thanks for coming,” I said, stepping aside for her to walk in. “No need to
