Liam returned to his house later that night and the living room was engulfed in pin drop silence. His footsteps echoed in the hallway of the first floor .

His eyes flitted to Chloe's bedroom. He noticed the lights in her room were off which means she was sound asleep.

Blaze suddenly appeared out of nowhere, leaning on the wall of the hallway he followed Liam's line of sight . Immediately he knows what's going on in his mind .

" She's asleep, if that's what you are wondering about "

Liam turned to see the invader of his thought.

" And what makes you think I was thinking about her " Liam snapped and shot a glare at him.

" Who are you kidding Liam, it's written all over your voice . You do care for her " Blaze uttered blatantly, he couldn't stand by and watch this blindly anymore.

" And who made you the judge of that ? Liam demanded, his tone indifferent

" You're only stalling the inevitable"

" What are you still doing in my house? Last I checked you have your own villa in this city "

  • The Substitute Bride    Rose's Fury II

Gwen sure knows how to play the victim and she wasn't expecting any less from her this time around . Rose's mind raced as she anticipated Marcello's reaction , he had never trusted her so it is useless to explain. It's not like she cared anyways.With Gwen's fabricated story it was certain he’d side with her. Not like she has high expectations of him. Marcello frowned in disbelief as he looked back at Rose. He had been noticing the sudden change in her behaviour. He could still hear the crisp sound of the slap she gave him the day before when he gave her the script he intended for her to memorise for the interview.He wasn't expecting those tiny fingers to have much impact.She even had the guts to tore the papers, rejecting it out rightly. But he had his ways to make her concede . He didn't come all this way to watch her

  • The Substitute Bride    Rose's Fury

    “ What was the meaning of what you just did back there. “ Rose asked , the chilling tone in her voice didn't go unnoticed by Gwen who was now taken aback by the sudden question . They both stood in front of a shut door as they were just informed that Marcello was in a meeting with someone by one of his subordinates. Standing in the hallway together with Gwen irked Rose the more . “ What ? I didn't do anything “ Gwen's reply shot through Rose like an arrow and her fingers clenched in a fist . With her back facing Gwen the latter couldn't discern the meaning of her questions considering the fact that she knew they were in it together. But not literally, because she acted out of script taking Rose unawares. it's not like she's going to fill her in on the reason why she made her follow her to the hospital. Knowing Rose , she knew she would not allow her to go ahead with her plan that's why she kept her in the dark despite the latter asking her severally why she needed her to follow
