Liam (Book 2) EIGHT
The next few days were ordinary, but for someone like me, with too much on her plate is exhausting.Throughout each of my classes, I was in a daze, lunch I hardly ate, and in my gardening club, I thought I was cutting the ends of each flower. Still, it turns out I was Morticia from The Addams Family cutting off the flower and eating the petals without realizing it. It was terrifying to the club members that they thought someone had died in my family.Yeah, my heart.I don't know what is wrong with me. Letting Liam go from my heart and life just drained my soul, leaving me lifeless and a real-life zombie.I sighed.Looking away from my textbook while reviewing my exam, I glance at my phone beside my arm, waiting for a call or text. Today was the day Odin's lawyer talked to my grandparents, and I had not heard from them the whole day. For the entire day, I was worried about something else; I was anxious to know how they would react to the news. They are probably mad at me because I'm no
Liam (Book 2) NINE
So, I called her and stood from my chair facing the wall. "Hello?" I could hear myself croak, so I cleared my throat and repeated. "Hello, Nani?" She told me to call her that when we first met each other. The term means grandmother in India, and she wanted me to be affectionate towards her."I assumed you know why I had you call me at this hour?" Seema's voice was stern and angry, although she calmly answered and gave me a chill.I thought grandparents were supposed to be loving and hug all the time like Grandma Birdie, but Seema and Birdie are the total opposite of each other. It is how they were raised differently."Yes, Nani.""How on earth are you engaged to another man?" Her voice squealed like a pig. High tone. "It doesn't make sense that some other man claims to be your fiancé and works for Odin King. How do you know him?""Odin King happens to be Effie's grandfather," I said to her."I can not believe all this," she scowled on the other end. Then I heard you speak her dialect
Liam (Book 2) TEN
After Dad and I talked and discussed making another room for the nursery, he also wanted to know if I've ever come up with a baby name. I never really thought of it. With my life full of shit happening, I haven't given one second of what I should name the baby. I still have around seven months. How hard can it be to name a baby? Wow. A baby. Me. Having a baby. And with a Wolfe. Oh god! I just felt the world spin forward. It was hard to believe that I was going to be a mother. Just the thought of a bit of human inside of me I'm going to be taking care of, feeding, putting to sleep, then the sleepless nights - oh no, I won't have any time to relax. But luckily, Dad said he and Daddy Wayne would do it for me because I'm still in high school and need my sleep. Later I drove to Reid/Wolfe's house and saw that the two-combine houses were almost done. It's only for a few weeks, and it looks like a mansion compared to the houses next to them. I parked and turned off the ignition, and l

I let the tears fall without realizing it. I hurt my friend, who's been through a lot, and now I'm beating myself. "Does Liam know?" She managed to say. "I mean, that's why you ask for him?" I wiped my eyes and sniffled. "No, I wanted to. But I couldn't. You heard the way he talked to me. He doesn't fucking care about me. If I tell him about his only child, do you think he will be with me just for the baby? Yes, he would, but there's no love for me in his heart." I continued to wipe off the tears around my eyes and cheeks. They just kept on falling. "Liam isn't that kind of guy," Effie said, rubbing my back. "He and his brothers are not that low to do that. They are loyal. Ohana. I only know Logan for a couple of months, and we are still new to this relationship, but I won't lie. It's funny to have a boyfriend, and I love him, and he's the same. He and I will live under one roof, and I'm nervous about that. Since we are together, we are sharing a room instead." She chuckled. "Athen

Liam (Book 2) THIRTEEN
"My, you are quite the comedic, Liam," my grandma flattered her eyelashes after Liam told a joke I didn't find funny.Since dinner started, Liam and I have tried to fool my grandparents. At first, they were skeptical of him because of his background, and because he was not my chosen husband suddenly changed their minds when he opened his mouth to impress them with class and humor.It's like freak Crazy Rich Asians but with the Haasan family.I didn't know he could be funny and have mannerisms answering every question Seema mostly asked and getting to know Liam as the conversation continued. My grandparents never question his "job" with Odin because Vishal and Seema can be compelling when it comes to others with money, and learning that Liam works for the big man of a different world, they shouldn't insult him in any way. I knew that from Effie when she told me everything about her grandfather's work life. I was too afraid to be close to her, but Effie is Effie, and Odin is friendly. I
Liam (Book 2) FOURTEEN
I rushed to the nearest bathroom, locked the door, and threw up. I didn't eat much, but being pregnant and lying to people made it worst for me to continue this act.No, it's the pregnancy.Once I had released my worries in a pile of odorous substances, I flushed it and washed my mouth and face. I let the water run as I looked at myself in the mirror, thinking about what kind of person I was. What am I doing? I laid my hand over my stomach and caressed it.All I wanted was for my grandparents to know that I didn't want to marry Kareem, even though he was my betroth, given the promise by my mother. Suddenly, my grandparents weren't happy that I was engaged to another guy they had never met. They wanted an entire interrogation of Liam because he wasn't what the family wanted. But now they seemed to be getting along, and the acting paid off.I sat on the bathroom tile floor and just sat there, waiting for what exactly? Should I go back and watch a show I don't like or continue the role a
Liam (Book 2) FIFTEEN
"Princess, all packed and ready to go?"I heard Daddy call outside my room as I zipped my suitcase shut. "Yeah, I just need to put my boots on."As I put on my snow boots, I thought about things going through my mind. First, I never thought me and my family would be going to see Grandma Birdie at Big Bear for Thanksgiving because she wanted to cook and see us. It's been a while since I've seen Grandma Birdie, she's a wild lady with a heart of a daredevil. She can do anything that seems risky for her age. Not saying she's old-old, but people age, and she isn't getting any younger. Sometimes I would be getting postcards from places where dangerous things can happen, skydiving, ATV at the dunes, swimming with sharks, going on a safari journey, anything the whole world can provide that my grandma can do. But I love her braveness if only I can get some of that.Secondly, I'm glad we are having Thanksgiving dinner at her house; otherwise, that lie I told Athena the other day would be just a
