FAZER LOGINTHIRD PERSON POV“What does this mean?” Elara screamed, tossing the phone in her hand to the wall. Her assistant shifted out of the way and bowed his head only slightly. “I am sorry, Ms Wynn; I got this message from Mr Vale this morning.” A pause. “He is introducing a fiancée? "A fiancée that isn't me? And you are just going to let him do this?” “I…” The assistant was at a loss for words because he didn't know what he was supposed to do to make it better. “Get me every piece of information about Lioraé Alcott," she said, her voice grazing every part of her throat as she spoke. She clutched the edge of her night robe, rage effectively flowing through every blood stream in her body. "Everything, including what the FBI won't be able to find," she added. The assistant nodded and moved to the door. “And get a new phone in here asap." Elara had no idea how long she had to wait for the information on her rival, whom she would have never considered one in the past. It was not the firs
LIORAÉThe room descended into intense silence between us. Soren was pacing around muttering incoherent words under his breath while I was frozen in place. “Did they hurt you?” he said, moving towards me as he had finally snapped out of a spell. “I am fine," I managed to mutter under my breath. “Lioraé, I just dont want them to..." “Hurt me," I finished for him. I took a loud gasp and shook my head. “I only have to ask, why do you think they would hurt me? Is there something I should know?” “It doesn't matter if there is; I just want to make sure you know that I would never let you get hurt." I sighed and ran my fingers over my face; it brushed over too aggressively, and I felt my throat hitch. “You won't have to worry about them anymore." Before I could ask him what he meant, he continued. “I am having their access in here removed," he declared. I hated the way it felt like he was cutting off every other part of us for us to exist. The stress of his fussing over me like I wa
LIORAÉAries is always lingering, standing by even when I want to be alone. I am only just realising that with Soren, I couldn't have a moment by myself. I had not seen him since breakfast. I was almost sure he would have shown up in the room sometime during the day, but he never came. I was starting to wonder if he just wanted to keep me trapped here. 'Ms Alcott?' Aries came closer. She was holding a black box with a red ribbon holding it down. I looked up at her and then back at the box. “Is that for me?” She nodded once, taking another step to close the gap between us. “What is in it?” “This came for you today." She handed it over to me. With Soren’s intense security, I was sure that it wasn't anything dangerous. He wouldn't have let it come to me without inspecting it. My fingers trembled against the ribbon as I pulled it open. The box was filled with printout pictures and love letters I had written to Ecvan while we still dated. I looked up at Aries and shifted, coughing s
LIORAÉBy the next morning, everything in the house had changed. Soren had the house teaming with bodyguards at every turn. The house didn't feel normal again; people were moving and redecorating throughout the house. I guess this is what money could do. He was by my side the moment I woke up. He had an app that the doctor had recommended, and he was documenting everything. from my sleep schedule to water intake and vitals. “Do you feel like you are sick?”I shook my head. I felt better all of a sudden, not just completely fine, but I didn't feel like puking up all the dinner I had. “No, I am just going to the bathroom to pee," I said as I tried to get out of bed. He was by my side, helping me to my feet and guiding me to the toilet like I couldn't walk by myself. “I can walk," I said, stopping and turning slightly to him. “I know, I am just worried." I pulled away from his grip, but he caught my hand instinctively and insisted on going with me into the bathroom. After a long
LIORAÉHe was still rubbing the part of my arm where the needle had gone in, his forehead crinkling with concern. “I am sorry I hurt. Do you want me to do something to make it better? Whatever it is that you want, say the word, and I will have it here." He had such a concerning look on his face that I felt sick for hiding this from him. Even though he might not want the baby, he still deserved to know the truth. ‘Lioraé, it would be better if he heard the truth from you; that way, he isn't thinking that you are trying to use this to stay with him.' I coughed and shifted in the bed while he lunged for the water glass and gave it to me. I stared at the glass as he pressed it against my lips. "Drink." My mouth opened immediately at the command, and streaks of water filled my mouth before I stopped myself. “We don't need to wait for the lab results…” I trailed off. The sound of my heart in my ear was loud enough; I wondered if he heard it as well. “Lioraé? Is something wrong?” “I
LIORAÉHe lowered himself to the bed with both hands gripping mine. He was staring at me, his grey eyes raking over my skin and making it burn. “You can tell me, Lioraé; whatever it is, I don't mind," he encouraged me when I tried. The words were stuck in my throat as I tried to push them out. He deserved the truth about this. If a doctor came in, then he was going to find out, and even though I was afraid, I knew that hearing it from me was better than from a doctor. “Soren, the flu... it isn't a flu. I wasn't being honest with the last doctor.” I felt tears ready to fall from my eyes as I sat there. What if he didn't understand me? What if he doesn't want the child and gets me to get rid of it? “Are you saying that because you want to leave?" he asked, and before I could even open my mouth to rebuke him or say something else, he was already speaking. “I don't care what it is, Lioraé; as long as you are here, it is fine." “No, Soren I…" My voice got drowned out by his ringing
LIORAÉ"But you don't have to worry; I won't pressure you into anything until you have fallen for me." "Until I have fallen for you?"His words of reassurance didn't sound like one; it was almost as if he knew what was going to happen soon. How I wished it would end, but knew fully well it couldn'
LIORAÉ“Ms Alott, my office.” I looked up to Soren standing by the doorway. He had a stern expression on his face. I cleared my throat and went up, pulling down my skirt that had somehow found a way to ride up. I slipped in and closed the door behind me, walking over to him sitting on one of the c
LIORAÉA staff member led us to the room we were going to be staying in; it was more of an apartment than a room. The only thing missing in it was a kitchen. “Thank you very much,” Soren said to the staff as he closed the door. The reality of us being here alone was suddenly dawning on me. “I tho
LIORAÉSoren had insisted on picking me up at the house at dawn; it didn't matter what I said, he just kept on saying. “It’s too early for a lady to be walking about.” It wasn't too early at all; it was a little past six am when he pulled out in front of my house and walked up to the door. My mom
