Thank you for reading. Please let me know your thoughts on this chapter.💕
Emily I’ve been waiting for Liam and me to talk but it seems he either hasn’t had the time or he just doesn’t want to. I now don’t know what to think. An idea pops up in my head and I decide to go for it. A surprise lunch visit. Maybe if I visit him, we might go somewhere and talk about us. With that resolution, I walk to the kitchen and find Joane cooking something and I smile at her, “Good morning.” She looks at me for a while before she responds, “Good morning miss.” but she doesn’t smile. I feel my current courage slowly leave me as my heart starts beating so fast I feel like I just ran a marathon of a hundred miles per hour. Joane notices how I’m standing awkwardly and her eyes soften a little, “Should I prepare your breakfast?” She asks. “No, I actually need your help with something.” I finally say after a stretch of overthinking everything. I just realized I know nothing about Liam and if Joane says no then I’ll definitely fail before I even begin because what if I make
Liam Knowing the reason why Emily had taken Dad’s proposal had softened me towards her and my whole view changed. I didn’t want it to but she somehow managed to crawl into my cold heart and began warming it little by little. I didn’t know what label to put on it so I’ve just been avoiding having this whole conversation until I’m certain with what I’m feeling. All I’ve ever known since Victoria broke my heart was rage and pain. All this was new but I wasn’t about to let her slip from me. I was afraid, but she began to prove to me that she was going to be worth all the hassle. When we met intimately, we agreed for it to just be for that night. But we continued even the next morning and we didn’t stop there. She has been making me cute breakfast and I used to kip breakfast and just get some coffee but lately, I eat it. “When did you start eating breakfast?” Jake asks and I ignore him. Partly because I don’t want to admit what I know is happening. “Are you not supposed to get me fil
Emily It’s been three days since Liam and I got intimate and I was expecting him to get back to his cold self but he had been kind enough. Not warm enough but it’s a start. We never meet eye to eye, but I have been preparing breakfast for him which he has been taking. I’m not sure if he just doesn't throw it in the bin. Joane has warmed up to me by saying one or two words and that’s a start to a positive and civil arrangement. She also helped me prepare his lunch which he never got to eat. The words from those women still linger in my head and go straight to my heart causing a stab of pain. "Oh please she is no match for Victoria" one had said. He never spoke about the day when I went to his office or even tried to explain why he couldn’t see me. I’m so pathetic that I have kept all the hurt and pain hidden inside me when I’m not even sure about what my husband thinks of me. A part of me had been dying to know but I’m not sure I was ready for the answer. Was he truly with her? A
Liam It’s been three days since Victoria walked back into my life and I must say, I have not been in my best mood. Not only did she stab herself, but she did it in my office, and with the Milan deal still pending, such news will not help us at all and the least I want is for Dad to fly back from China to come and fix my mess. So I do It. I’ve barely spoken to Emily and I think I won’t until I settle this mess that just walked into my life. I’ve already been so awful to her and right now, I don’t want to cause her any pain or worry. She is starting her exams soon and I want her to write without any stress. That is why I went and paid for her father’s medical bills in advance but it seems trouble has come anyway. The hospital is private with two extra rooms for the one at the bedside and in this case, It’s fucking me. I called her father who told me he would be back in New York the very day but three days later, I’m still babysitting. “When is your Mother coming? I’m a businessman
Emily It’s been three weeks since I left New York to bring my father for the treatment and he has been responding very well. When we just arrived, Dr. Sanderson received us and when I was told we would be taken care of, I had no idea it would be by someone so young. Well, he’s thirty but very successful in his medical field and the best Neurologist in Seattle. He has brown eyes and dark short hair. Upon arrival, I could tell that he was popular among the females but I haven’t been bothered by it. I’m married to Liam Lockhart, that alone is enough to set the world on fire. The only problem is the way my heart clenches painfully when I remember the last conversation I had before leaving. He cheated on me again and with the woman who made him so cold. I had cried for three days straight and when Aunt Melan asked, I would use Dad as an excuse but now I don’t know what will be my excuse when I’m caught crying. He didn’t even try to call me back. My sadness starts to turn into anger as
Emily “Hi Emily, I came here to bring your father’s medication. “ Dr.Sanderson says and I frown. I clean the oil on my hands using the tea towel and reach out to collect the brown envelope, “I’m sorry for all the trouble. You could have waited for our next appointment.” I apologize and I take the medication from him. “No worries, it’s best he starts the course today so we can see how he responds to it by Saturday. “ He flashes me a smile and I smile back uncomfortably. “Thank you. Well, th-” I’m about to end the conversation when Aunty Melan pops up behind me and it’s like deja vu. It's 9 PM! Honestly speaking, who delivers medication this time? “Why are you taking so long, Emi?” Her voice rings in my ear as she looks over my shoulder to see who is at the door. I’m very tempted to smash the door in his face but he is in charge of operating and checking on my Dad so, I wouldn’t want to get on his bad books. “I’m actually-” Again I’m cut off when she moves me aside and I curs
Liam I smash my fist on the table angrily when Jake tells me they’re unable to locate Emily. “THIS IS YOUR FAULT!” I want to yell but decide to breathe in instead because pointing fingers won’t help me locate my wife. How could she disappear into thin air when she was home just three weeks ago? “What about the credit card? Has she used it?” I ask desperately but the apologetic look on Jake’s face tells me otherwise. I've put in all the resources I can to ensure that they find her at all costs. I'll hire the fucking military if I have to. But despite all my connections and power, the one person whom I have a feeling knows where she is just won't say anything and I hate it that he's protected by his position at the hospital. I'm hoping he will open up and tell me before I start suspecting that he's been hitting on my wife. If only she would swipe and try to pay for something then I’d find her in a second. I run a frustrated hand through my hair as I attempt another solution, “Wha
Emily I’m standing in the road outside our house as I wait for Dad to get ready, “So how are you holding up?” Wiliam asks and I shrug. He came this morning and offered to drive us to the hospital and no matter how much I avoid getting help from him, he keeps showing up and I don’t know how I’m supposed to get rid of him when he’s still the one in charge of Dad so, I just let him be. “I’m alright. It’s sinking in.”I smile knowing he’s referring to my pregnancy. A car comes from nowhere at high speed when William pulls me into his arms and moves me off the road in a flush making my adrenaline rise and my hands clamp straight to my stomach protectively. “Thank you.” I breathe and William nods. “Oh my God!! are you okay Emi?” Aunt Melan rushes to my side and I immediately nod. “I’m okay. But you go ahead I will meet you later. I have to pick up a package.” I rush to Dad’s side and give him a quick hug and rush back to the taxi. Taking a deep breath, I hop in, instructing the driver
