Liam's POVAlice just left our house with her father. I dislike the old man with fiber in my body. He was a dirty player and a dubious man. Weirdly, the strong and beautiful woman I met today is his daughter.I heard the news about her that she was able to bring back integrity to her father's mafia which was now hers. I didn't believe it, it's one of the reasons I decided to see her.I knew she'd be mad at me for missing breakfast but I just wanted to see how she'd react. And I was impressed with her response. She was calm, collected, and calculative. I expected her to jump at me when she saw me but I realized that she wasn't like one of those barbies that love to cling to me. "What do you think about her?" I heard my father ask. "She's fine," I replied. "Fine? Can't you see that you are about to marry one of the strongest women in this world? I'm glad that you at least like her but don't you dare gut it up." He spat out. And with that, he left.Mother came to me and ran her hands t
Alice POVIt's been three days since we landed here. Three days of running around trying to get a dress, do my pedicure and manicure, and also do a full body wax. Silver made me do all this. She insisted and I just couldn't say no. Left to me I'd have just preferred to get a jumpsuit. The marriage isn't worth it, I just wanted everything to be over already. I picked a wedding dress yesterday and as I kept staring at the cloth, I became nervous. It was happening and there was nothing I could do about it. I thought about going to my father to convince him but I knew I couldn't. It would just be a waste of time. I looked at my room which was covered with different clothes and shoes laying around. My room was a disaster but I didn't care. I looked at my fingers that were painted white and I loved them. My legs were smooth because of the waxing but my whole body felt like it was on fire. I hate waxing but since Silver insisted, saying that I need to look like a bad bitch, I didn't arg
Alice's POVWe got to the venue in twenty minutes and I felt nervous. Silver turned to look at me from the front seat. "You'll do great. Don't stress about it." She assured me before leaving the car. I saw my father waiting for me at the entrance with a scowl on his face. I hate seeing his disgusting face. Hopefully, this will be the last time I'll see him. Silver opened the door for me. She went to confirm if it was safe for me to get out. Even on a day like this, we have to be on guard. Enemies could be loitering around. I got out of the car and climbed the stairs. Father stood by the door waiting for me to come to him.I just stared at him. I didn't move, I was beginning to think about my decisions. I thought to myself if I was doing the right thing. I could just run away right now and hide somewhere till my father dies. That will be cowardice on my path. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't see father match angrily towards me. When I felt someone drag my hand pulling m
Alice's POVWe soon got to the Salvador's house and we made our way inside the house. I kept to myself most of the time because Liam disappeared to lord knows where.Matt soon came to me and kept me company. We kept talking about different things. He is so caring, he kept getting me champagne and didn't even make me feel bored.I saw my father talking with different people. I saw him enjoy himself and laugh more.He was enjoying the attention. After a while, he moved away from everyone to go talk to Liam's parents. I saw his eyes crease with every laughter.He would sometimes gesture with his hands when he was trying to explain something and I saw how invested everyone was listening to his lies.I just shaked my head hoping that everything would be over soon. Silver was not too far from me, she would sometimes raise her brows at me to ask if I was okay but I'd just nod my head and tell her that I'm fine. "Are you good, Alice?" I heard Matt ask. "I'm fine." I answered him."It's just
Alice POVSoon, I finished my pasta and picked up the chocolate slice. I picked up a fuck and cut out of the cake. As soon as the cake entered my mouth, I closed my eyes and sighed as the sweetness of the cake burst on my tongue. I heard Matt chuckle beside me."Alice dear, you need to relax with the food. You don't want to upset your tummy now, do you?" I heard Matt's mom say beside me. A sassy reply danced on my tongue but I held myself and completely ignored her. I have had enough with my father and I didn't want to indulge her. Matt seemed to sense the tension in the air because the next thing he did was to lead his mother away from our table. When I tell you that this boy is kind-hearted, believe me. If that woman said another word about the way I was eating, I might have stabbed her in the eye.I looked around to see if Liam was anywhere near but no, he wasn't in sight.Son of a bitch! I'm just sitting down here all alone eating cake as if to console myself. I saw some peop
Alice's POVI looked into his eyes trying to see if he was being sincere and he actually wasn't joking. Unable to even argue with him, I agreed and followed him.We walked into the house and he took me to a room. I guess it was the spare room. The room was clean and I didn't waste time going to the bathroom leaving Liam alone.I stood in front of the mirror and started pulling out the pins in my hair. I was having a headache and I didn't have any strength in me to endure the pain any longer.I scrunch my face as the pin pulls in hair in the process of removing them. When I was done, I washed the makeup off my face and dried my face with a towel.The next problem was my dress. I'm not sure I can take it off myself because of the rope laced at the back.I made my way back into the room and Liam entered at the same time, carrying some clothes in his hands.He looked at me and smiled. I guess he went to get me something comfortable to wear."What if I was naked?" I asked him, because he j
Alice's POVThe next morning I woke up and found myself in the room. I looked at my phone to check the time and noticed that it was nine in the morning. The blinds were down which I was grateful for because if it wasn't I would have been feeling very grumpy. I swung my leg over the bed and made my way towards my bed to ease myself. When I was done, I opened the cabinet to see if there was a spare toothbrush. Luckily for me, I found one. I used it to brush my teeth before leaving the bathroom. I left my room and made my way downstairs. I made no sound as I descended the stairs. It's one of the traits I have learned over time. The smell of pancakes and bacon filled the air. I quickly increase my package feeling hungry instantly.I really hoped Liam would be the one making the food but to my great disappointment, it was the maid. Liam was sitting down, sipping black coffee, and going through some papers.I would really love to see what was beneath his shirt. The tight shirt on his
Alice's POV I sighed as I stared at my glass of wine. I downed the wine in the glass and stood up. I was pissed with the way things were going and I don't know why.As I stood up, Liam entered and I saw him look at me in confusion. He probably thought I would have gone by now.I am surprised at the fact that I'm still here. I looked at his clothes and saw that he was covered in blood. "Is that your blood?" I asked, trying to figure out if there was a wound on his body as he came closer. I don't know why I panicked when I saw the blood."No, it's not." "Good." I looked at his hands and saw that it was bruised. Seeing the swollen knuckles I knew it would hurt. "Do you have a first aid box here?" I asked. Immediately I said that I saw his guard bring one. He's the one Silver has a crush on. I saw the two of them look at themselves briefly and I couldn't help but smile. "You're from which country?" I asked him."Russia." He said, confirming my suspicion. I kept smiling. He looked d
