Chapter Fifteen
Liam's POV
Looking over to this clock on the wall I see it's five minutes past five in the morning. Getting up I head downstairs to the gym to do some workouts. Reaching there I hop on the treadmill and start working it.About an hour later I think,I'm totally sweaty and hungry from the intense exercises. Going to the kitchen I see Kyle already munching on food,grabbing my plate I serve myself some eggs coupled with bacon and an orange juice.Setting it down I see Kyle staring at me weirdly.Frowning I ask him what the matter is but he just shakes his head, shrugging I pay no heed to him.
When done with the food I thank Benjamin the chef for the wonderful food and I go upstairs to take a shower and head over to my mum's house.After thirty minutes I'm done with my shower and I dress in a comfortable casual wear before heading to my car.
On my way to my mum's house I rece

Kayla's POVToday was finally Saturday a day where I have the chance to sleep in and not be tired out by Mr Liam, but that just had to be ruined by Noah who at first woke me upearlier than usual for a Saturday morning and he just had to promise Evan that he would take him to the park which of course I had to go to because Evan apparently wanted me with him but I don't blame him I haven't had any time to spend with him ever since I got this job because by the time I'm back home I'm always so tired that I just hop in bed sometimes without even having dinner.So here I was fully dressed,fed and ready to too by 8:00am because Evan wanted to spend a lot of time at the park so the earliest the better.Grabbing the basket I already filled with lunch and a couple of sandwiches and some bottled water I enter into the passenger seat having put Evan at the back with Noah at the driver seat.

Liam's POVThere is something awfully annoying when you are being woken up by a phone call,an irrelevant one at that.That's exactly what happened to me,I was drawn out of sleep by my phone ringing picking it up I realized it was from the office,there was supposedly an emergency,an investor from another country just showed up and I had to go see him. The meeting was supposed to be next week but he got here earlier and now I had to go take care of that putting aside important plans I made to spend the day with mum.Already dressed and prepared I get into my car after kissing mum bye and sending a quick text to Kayla,since I've been calling her but it has been going straight to voice mail.Driving out of the garage I head towards the direction of the office reaching there in about fifteen minutes,hoping out of the car I enter into the building going straight towards the conference room where the important

Kayla's POVI am so late due to no one else but me but if you ask me it's not my fault that in hopes of getting a good sleep I put off my phone and turned off my alarm but unfortunately this resulted me in having to rush off to work,miss breakfast and having to stand here face downwards being reprimanded and cautioned by Mr Liam.In my defence I didn't know that there would be an emergency meeting,shaking my head I look up to see Mr Liam,face set in a glare looking at his phone, at this moment I feel bad for the phone due to the intensity of the stare on it. Still looking at him I notice his expressions changing from that of annoyance and frustration to thatof shock and fear.My guess is that Kyle noticed his expressions because he rushed towards him,still looking at them I notice that they converse for a while before the both sprinted out of the room leaving me and the rest of the staffs shocked

Liam's POVToday was undeniably the worst day of my life. I felt like the world was closing in on me and my life was slowly losing meaning. My mum was currently laying in the hospital ward,her life slowly vanishing right before my eyes with the doctors not knowing whether she was going to live or not. I was beyond scared and the doctors telling me to calm down was doing nothing to alleviate my worry but only made me more worrisome. I couldn't help but blame my self for what is happening right now. If only I had stayed with her and had not gone to attend some stupid meeting choosing my business over my mum's health. I should have stayed with her, should have attended church with her and stayed with her to make sure she ate well and took her drugs. It's all my fault that she is in such critical condition. I promised her that I will take good care of her, treat her well and give her all she ever wanted but I failed. I fa

Kayla's POVI can't believe him right now. How dare him tell me to leave. He may not have said it audibly but his actions clearly spoke louder. I can't even phantom why he dislikes me so much, I haven't even done anything outrageously wrong to him so why does my existence bother him so.Huffing I once again flail my hands in the air trying to get a cab at this ungodly hour of the night. Sighing again at my failed attempt at getting a taxi.I tried ordering an uber too but no one could come as a result of the brewing storm. Shivering I watch as yet another car passes me by. I might as well as go back inside but my fear for his wrath makes me put out my arm flailing once more and luckily this time the car pulled over. Not wasting anytime I enter into the car shivering again due to the biting wind.Telling him my address he wastes no time in driving probably hoping to get home before the

I rushed in to check the bathroom but she wasn't there either.

Kayla's POVGlaring at the phone I move away from it like it was a bomb that was about to blow. I watched it ring until the line went dead. I sigh in relief but that was soon cut shut when I hear my ring tone once again with that name I dangerously detested flashing on the screen.Realizing that I could not hold on for so long for it might be related to work, who knows, so I grabbed the phone quickly answering it before putting it towards my ear listening to a series of command from a slurring Mr Liam, which was very weird because the way he talked made it seem like he had been drinking but ever since I've known him I have barely seen him hold anything slightly alcoholic so him sounding really tipsy made me a bit worried.Slightly alarmed and maybe frightened at what could keep him in such a state I quickly grabbed my phone and left not forgetting to lock the doors.Boarding a taxi I reach the a

I was about to turn towards the direction of my house until my brain clicked and I turned the other way.I did not know if I was still bring followed by Kyle and if I was I know the first place he'd check would be my house and I couldn't risk him finding me so once I saw a cafe nearby I entered and sat down.Once I was seated a waitress came to me asking what I wanted, but I was not with my purse so I could not order anything, so I told her that
