PRESENTLY“It has been two weeks since he disappeared without a word. I tried calling severely, but he is not responding. Do you think he is mad about the mail i sent?” she asked pacing to and fro. She has predicted how things would turn up after he reads it. Maybe his other personality has taken over him consequently making him forget he has a home to return to.“Calm down honey, maybe he is on a business trip, you know one of those trips that wealthy men of his status goes to" Katy shrugs. "Don't worry too much about the mail, take a deep breath and a bite of this freshly baked bread, am sure it will make you feel different” Katy encouraged. “All you think about is food kate! And of course i would like some of those, pass me the butter too” She requests, finally relenting.“I thought you said there were no strings attached? If i could recall vividly, you boldly denied that he wasn't your boyfriend” Katy winked. “Now you are worried because he hasn’t cal
The sun shone brightly, romancing the atmosphere with warmth. Students sat on the grasses and different locations caressing the warm rays. Lia leaned on the trunk of a dark Lamborghini anticipating Liam who left and promised to be back in a jiffy. Before his arrival, she hurries to resister some textbooks for a class project. Immediately she stepped out of the library hall and headed along the corridor to the exit door, Clark appears with his minions and stops her from going forward.“Hey pretty, hurrying somewhere?” He smiles evily.Before she knew what was happening, she had been cornered to a cubicle and encircled by Clarke's minions.“What is it Clarke?" She asked rolling her eyes. "I'm not ready for any of your troubles. As you can see, I have somewhere to be right now” When she tried to walk pass, he grabs her arm and pulled her back forcefully, making her arm hurt.“I got the news butterfly, I know how you and that jerk humiliated my brother Joe in front of everyone. Did yo
“Are you insane? The cops would come after us in no time. At least that is if we are not dead by then” Lia protest as Liam speeds across the long straight road.She screamed at the top of her voice, holding on to anything she could find for safety. But as the ride progressed, she began to enjoy the feel of it. Her fun was ruined by the siren of the police cars chasing after them.“Oh my God, I think we are in big trouble” She panicked, tugging the unconcerned Liam who continued regardless."Pull over, pull over now!" The cops shouted, following close behind."Few months ago, you only cared about your reputation. Aren't you bothered they might see your face and know it's you?" She asked, her heart sounding out of her ears."Don't spoil the fun, I know you are saying all these because scared" He teased. "The usual Lia is suppose to act bold in this kind of situation, or did you leave your courage back in the house?" He teased again."Believe me, if they knew I was a Michaelson, they
“We have to turn around, the road is badly damaged. We will stay in a hotel tonight and have my helicopter pick us by morning” he informed Lia. “Okay!" Lia nods without demanding to know much. There was no need of asking since he wouldn't unconceal a thing about himself.Before they got to a road side hotel, it was already nightfall. Walking into the reception, a lady walked up to receive them.“Welcome Mr and Mrs?”“Liam and Dahlia” He replied.“This is Campville hotel” the receptionist said with a welcoming smile. “Fortunately, we have just one available room for now. It is warm and comfortable for a newly wed” she winked at Lia who rolled her eyes and looked away. Liam knitted his eye brow in embarrassment, looking at the middle aged receptionist who got the wrong picture. He cleared his throat and looked away to another direction, like he was searching for something on the wall, but suddenly a plan came into his head, to use that as an advantage to taunt her. “We are not a cou
Seeing how agitated she looked, he clearly understood that she was nervous. He proceeded taunt her even more.“You don't have to all antsy, I'm a gentle man, so don’t worry. I won’t do anything funny to you. Not unless you want it” He said.“Pervert! She blurts with a clenched fist. “You will be dead even before you try”Hearing this, he decides to dare her further. He climbs into the bed, beside her."We all agreed that you are using the couch right? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" She shivered, thinking of what could happen if she stays too close.“I'm not carved out for couches. My skin is tender. Besides, the bed is wide enough for two. How about we demarcate the bed with the pillows into two equal halves, and enjoy our beauty sleep?” he suggests.“You do it, and I will choose first” she watched him demarcate the bed into two unequal half and dived into the bigger part.“You cheat! She yelled pulling him by his legs. But he lay sprawled on the bed. “You are the most exaspe
It was morning, she opened her eyes to breakfast resting on the bed shelve beside her, and a note on the tray. “Good morning sunshine!” It then came back to her in a flash, all the events of last night. She could remember vividly, how he asked her to be his girlfriend and how she had said yes. She touched her lips and smiled. His kisses were still fresh on her lips. The scent of his body still dominated the room. She inhaled it and smiled again.“Awake ah?” He asked from the door. Immediately, she adjusted herself and sits up. She didn’t want him to know she was too excited about the whole thing. So she avoided his gaze and tried to act cool. “Did you sleep well?” He asked unwrapping the paper bag with him. “Yes of course” she simply replied and uncovered the food on the tray. “I ordered some new clothes. I think they should fit perfectly” he shrugged. But there were no response from her. she just nodded and pretended to focus on the food. She was too nervous to speak. “Are
Liam rushed back to the mansion knowing something was wrong. He could sense Zaiya's presence, her scent was all over the air. He wondered what could have brought her to earth without his consent. But above that, he had to make sure Lia was okay. Walking into the living room, there was no trace of Lia. Turning to his side, he saw Zaiya wearing a welcoming smile."Welcome my prince" She bows with her face to the ground. But he turned his face away in disapproval, knowing what she had done."What did you do?" He roared angrily, his anger stirred a tremendous thunderclap."I exposed her to the truth my Prince, she had to know. She deserves it!" Zaiya replied courteously, with her face still bowed to the ground."And who are you to decide what she can and cannot know?" He thundered. The cloud darkened, following his dark gleaming eyes that portrayed great anger."Forgive me my prince, I was just following orders, a fealty" She tried to defend from his anger."Whose orders? How dare yo
"Dahlia, please open the door, I need to talk to you, Please?" Katy begged outside the door, but she kept mute and avoided her. But she wouldn't give up that easily.She had her strategy to lure her out, her last resort. She wasn't sure it would work but she tried regardless. "Dad just flew in this morning Lia, he wants to see you" Katy Lied."What?" Lia slammed the door open. "Tell me you didn't tell him anything?" She stared at Katy who reciprocated with a shrug."What was I suppose to do Lia? I was scared for you. Look at you, so pale and skinny. Am your sister for god sake, what ever hurts you hurts me too. How could you be so selfish?" She yelled at Lia who looked away sadly. "Liam has been looking throughout the whole city for you, he is going insane. How could you put him in that kind of situation?" Katy asked."You're right about one thing, I was selfish for shutting you out. But how come am the only one who is taking the blame? You should have seen what I saw Katy, how I felt
