Louisa's point of view

I took a cab back home, the kind where the driver was completely quiet and focused on driving. Usually I would have appreciated it, but this time it just meant I had no other option but to fixate on my thoughts.

I took a deep breath as I got out of the car, standing at the entrance of the house like some teenager who had gotten himself in trouble.

Walking in the door meant coming face to face with Damien, and facing Damien meant starting an uncomfortable discussion that h

  • The Perfect Match; Billionaire's Surrogate Mother    Chapter 132

    Liam's POV Liam hadn't expected to think about Scarlett's family shop as much as he did. It had been three days since he'd visited, yet he still remembered the way her mother had welcomed him, her father's easy conversation and her younger brother's surprisingly thorough interrogation. He also remembered Scarlett behind the counter. She had moved around the shop with an ease he hadn't seen at school. There, she was organised, determined and occasionally argumentative. At home, she seemed entirely different. Comfortable. Familiar. Like she belonged to every corner of the place. He'd liked seeing that side of her. Unfortunately, Marcus had noticed his distraction. "You're doing it again." Liam looked up from his lunch. "Doing what?" "Thinking." "Is that not allowed?" "Not when you're staring at your food like it personally offended you." Liam shook his head. Marcus leaned forward. "You're thinking about Johansson." "I'm eating." "You're thinking about Johansson while ea

    Scarlett's POV Scarlett was beginning to regret inviting Liam Morace to her house. Not because she disliked him. That would have been easier to explain. The problem was that she'd spent the last fifteen minutes wondering what he would think when he saw where she lived. It wasn't that she was ashamed of her home. She wasn't. Her family had worked hard for everything they owned, and their little shop was something she was proud of. But Liam lived in a different world. A world of enormous houses, private drivers and family businesses with their names on the buildings. She had seen enough of it to know. "You're doing that thing again." Scarlett looked up from her phone. Victoria was watching her. "What thing?" "Overthinking." "I'm not." "You've checked your phone six times." "I'm waiting for a response." "From who?" Scarlett gave her a look. Victoria's eyes widened. "Oh." "Don't." "Is it Morace?" "Victoria." "You're actually inviting him somewhere?" Scarlett sighed

    Liam's POVLiam had never been particularly interested in school rankings.He knew his grades were good. He knew he could do better when he put in the effort, and he knew his grandfather occasionally asked for his results during family gatherings.Beyond that, he didn't think about them much.Today, however, he found himself checking the clock every few minutes.Their project results were supposed to be announced during English, and Scarlett had been unusually quiet about it all morning.He found her outside the classroom, looking through her notes."You're going to wear a hole through that paper."She didn't look up."I'm revising.""For a presentation we've already given?""I'm checking something.""Again?"This time, she looked at him."Do you have a problem with preparation?""Not particularly. I just think you might be taking it a little far.""Some of us like knowing we've done our best."Liam leaned against the wall."And some of us know we've done our best."She gave him a fla

    Scarlett's Point Of View Scarlett had never understood why some people treated weekends as though they were a reward for surviving the school week.For her, Saturday usually meant catching up on assignments, helping around the house and making sure her younger brother didn't turn his homework into a family emergency.This Saturday was no different."Scarlett!"She closed her eyes briefly."What?""Come and check something!"She found her brother sitting at the dining table, his maths textbook open in front of him."What is it?""This question."She looked at the page."Which one?""Number seven."She pulled out the chair beside him."You haven't even attempted it.""I tried.""Where?"He pointed at the question.Scarlett stared at him."You underlined it.""Exactly."She laughed despite herself and picked up his notebook."Give me your pencil."For the next twenty minutes, she explained the question while he complained about how unnecessarily complicated mathematics could be.When he

    Liam's POV My grandfather believed in two things. First, that a man's reputation was built long before he entered a room. Second, that the Morace family had spent too many years building theirs for anyone to take it lightly. I'd heard both statements enough times to recite them in my sleep. Unfortunately, Sunday lunch meant listening to them again. "Your father tells me school is going well." I looked up from my plate. "Yes, Grandfather." "And your results?" "Good." "Good is a rather vague answer." Dad laughed quietly beside him. "He's doing well, Father." My grandfather glanced at him. "I wasn't questioning that." "I know." Mum changed the subject before the conversation could become another discussion about grades. "So, how was your meeting yesterday?" "Fine," Dad answered. "We discussed the foundation's new education initiative." My grandmother smiled. "That's lovely. It's about time we expanded the scholarship programme." I continued eating. The conversatio

    Scarlett's POVThe first thing I learned about Westbridge Academy was that people had a remarkable ability to turn ordinary information into gossip.The second was that being Liam Morace's project partner apparently qualified as interesting information.I'd barely settled into my seat on Thursday morning when Victoria dropped into the chair beside mine."So."I continued arranging my books. "So?""How's it going?""How's what going?"She gave me a look.I sighed. "Victoria, if you're going to ask me something, just ask.""Your project."I nodded. "Fine.""And Liam?"I stopped writing.There it was."What's wrong with Liam?""Nothing. I'm just curious.""About what?"She leaned closer."You two spend quite a bit of time together.""We have a project.""I know.""Then what's the question?"Victoria laughed."You're very defensive for someone who doesn't care."I turned towards her."I don't care.""Alright."She said it with a smile that suggested she didn't believe me.I decided to ign
