Se connecterLiana…I took my time getting dressed that morning, standing in the mirror longer than usual not because I didn't know what to wear, because my head wouldn't just stop thinking about it even when I did not want to.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Liam's hand. Not exactly on my face but just close enough and I could still see that hesitation, that pause like he wasn't sure if he was allowed to touch me or if he should stop himself.I shook my head and tied my hair back. It was probably nothing and I was just imagining it. Sleep does that at times and it makes a person feel things that are heavier, deeper, and more meaningful that they really are.I walked out of my room and I went downstairs. But I wasn't ready for what my eyes saw.Liam was in the kitchen. He wasn't just standing there and doing nothing, he was actually cooking.The aroma of eggs and toast found my nostrils all on its own. He wore a simple t-shirt and his sleeves were folded up, his hair was slightly messy like he
Liana…I didn't expect him to still be there. The plate of food was still in my hands as the smell filled my nostrils, reminding me of how hungry I was but I still chose to be adamant and sulk in my anger.What if Liam hadn't come to me with my food, would I have starved myself for the whole night just because I was angry.? But that was enough reason.My back was pressed against the door. I had only slammed the door shut in his face, but I hadn't moved from that exact spot.I turned towards the door and I opened it. I stepped back, leaving the door half-open.“What are you still doing here?” “I wanted to apologize.” he said and I exhaled slowly.“You already did.”“I apologized for today.” he said. “Not everything else.”“You don't have to.” I answered back, staring straight into his eyes.“I actually do need to apologize to you. What I said at work was wrong. And the way I treated you back then_” he stopped, trying to put his words into the right sentence. “I was cruel.”The Liam wh
Liam's…I slammed my office door closed behind me with more force than it was needed. The papers on my desk flew away, like they felt my mood before I did.My fingers found my collar instantly. I began to loosen my tie, I felt suffocated. Liana's smile replayed in my head. I didn't even care about what conversation she was having with him. All I cared about was why she was smiling so much, like she had forgotten where she was.I opened a file. But I ended up reading the same three lines every single fucking time, I wasn't focused. Not at all. I closed the file and my fingers were just on my laptop doing nothing. I leaned back in my chair.Who the hell was that guy?I knew he was an employee. Because no one gets offered a job in this company without having to pass the interview. I wasn't part of the team that offers interviews so I wouldn't know him personally.But there was only one way to find out. I turned my chair towards the direction of my safelock and pulled out the employees
Liana…I didn't say yes to Tim because I wanted to. I only said yes, because every time I tried to open up my mouth and refuse. My mother's eyes kept pleading with me not to ruin this.So here I was, standing in front of a mirror and fixing my hair for a job I didn't apply for. When I was done I went downstairs only to see that Liam was already waiting for me.He looked so good in his well tailored suit. Extremely handsome and it was kind of surprising to me because that was the first time I had seen him looking so responsible, just like how a grown-up man would look like.The white shirt underneath his suit was a little bit unbuttoned at the collar, and it was just enough for it to be distracting. He looked down at his wrist watch to check the time and for a moment I just stared hard at him, forgetting how to even breathe because he looked so damn handsome like a young bachelor coming straight out of a magazine cover.“Liam” I called out, clearing my throat but I didn't get any respo
Liana…I stood outside the door for a long time, my hand pressed directly on my chest like my heartbeat could steady me.But I was wrong, my heart was still beating so loudly in my ears. And my body felt a sensation it shouldn't have. I didn't want to think about Liam so I wouldn't make things worse but my mind was doing a different thing to what I wanted.Liam's face flashed through my head. His broad shoulders, his abs, and the way he looked so hot was more than enough to make my pussy wetter than ever. And it did exactly just that.The way his eyes darkened when it dropped to my lips and I swallowed hard. I had never noticed him like that before. Or maybe I had and I had buried it under years of hate.Just in time, I called myself back into control. It could never be him. He was the same boy who always mocked me while in school, he would always call me different weird names that got stuck in my brain.Someone who bullied me in school. So I refused to let one stupid moment mess with
LiamI remember everything. Like how the day had smelled like rain and the air smelled like tobacco when my father called to tell me he wanted to remarry. A decision I never expected after his divorce two decades ago. When he first told me, I thought she was just another gold digger looking for a way to bleed him dry."She is only after your money, dad!" I would constantly say.But he went ahead and organised the engagement party anyway. So I met her once, Triana Robert. And I knew instantly that her daughter was Liana Robert. The one I always bullied in high school.Hell no! I was going to stop this in any way that I could. Liana was a pathetic student back then, and I was more than certain she wouldn't be any different now. Just intimidate her and she will convince her mom to leave my family the hell alone.That was my plan. Until she walked into the Engagement party, looking like a goddess. Her hair was styled longer and silkier, framing her face in a way that made her lips look fu
