Carman knew where the conversation was heading, so she grabbed the bottle of pills, took out one, and swallowed it. Then she aggressively drank water before slamming the bottle down on the table.“How about we talk about why you are back? The last time I heard, you weren't returning.” Carmen harshly stated.“Wow, you must really hate me to want me gone this badly!” Liam angrily mumbled.“Maybe I do hate you!”“Great then because I don't deserve your love!”Carmen didn't know what she was expecting to hear, but it wasn't this. Liam's word’s left her speechless for a moment as she stared at him without blinking her eyelashes.“You don't get to do this! You don't get to make me feel terrible about how I feel towards you.” Carmen stated.“Then don't. Do I hate seeing you with Dax? Yes! Will I stop you if he's the one you want to be with? No! Because I had my chance, a

The conference hall of SM INC was crowded with shareholders, the board of directors, Mr. Smith, and Carmen as the employees presented the reports.The meeting took close to one hour, and once it was over, Mr. Smith woke up from his seat and headed over to his daughter. Then he tapped her on the shoulder.“Let's talk.” Roman mumbled before walking past his daughter.Carmen’s eyes bore fear when she gazed behind her father. Then she took a minute to get her trembling body stable and afterward, Carmen elegantly followed him into her office.When she arrived, she met Chester serving tea to her father. He then stiffly smiled at her when their eyes met as she took her seat behind her desk, and within a rush, while avoiding Roman gaze, Chester left the room.“So…” Carmen mumbled.“It's been a year since you divorced Liam. How long do you plan on being a divorced woman?” Roman calmly asked before sipping his tea.Carmen then leaned back in her seat

The week went by naturally, and the first light of dawn met Carmen and Liam in bed on Sunday.She spent the entire night buried in his arms, and now that morning had arrived, Carmen's worries were running about in her head the moment she opened her eyes.She hoped that this day wouldn't come. But now that it was here, Carmen knew that she had to face it. Yet a part of her which it wasn't so.“Morning,” Liam mumbled.The instant Carmen heard his voice, she squeezed her eyes shut and held back her breath.“I will get breakfast started.” Liam calmly said.Then he slowly withdrew his hand from beneath Carmen before getting out of bed.She then slowly opened her eyes and intensely stared at his broad shoulder and back as Liam wore his shirt.“Today…” Carmen mumbled.“I know,” Liam muttered.He then turned around, and with a soft smile on his lips, he reached down and kissed Carmen on her head before gazing deep into her eyes.

For a while, the dinner table was peaceful with everyone focusing on their food. But when the meal was over and it was tea time, Carmen knew that the silence was about to cease.“Carmen and Dax, you guys should look after each other since both of you are neighbors.” Mrs. Smith said with a broad smile on her lips.Carmen kept silent as she sipped her tea, making sure that she didn't make eye contact with anyone.“I will do my best,” Dax said, trying to break the awkward silence in the room.“Oh my! He's such a gentleman. Isn't he, Carmen?” Mrs. Smith stated with her eyes gazing at her daughter.Carmen paused for a moment with the teacup pressed against her lips. Then she let out a soft sigh. “Yes mother, he is,” Carmen mumbled without staring away from her cup.Feeling frustrated about her daughter's attitude, Mrs. Smith firmly gazed at her husband.Roman got the hint, but he felt like he should stay out of such a sensitive matter

Carmen woke up on Monday to Liam's side of the bed empty and a note on the nightstand.“Breakfast is on the table. Don't forget to eat it. I love you. P.S I made sure Dax left for work first before I did, so don't worry your pretty head.”Carmen dropped the paper on the bed with a sigh. Then she got out of bed and headed into the bathroom.“Why did he have to leave all these marks? I guess tutle-neck it is for today.” Carmen mumbled as she stared at the bite marks on her neck. Then her mind recalled last night, and her lips curved into a soft smile.“Why was she so wild?” Liam whispered as he gazed at the scratches on his wrist.He then hastily covered the scars with his shirt sleeve when he heard his office door open.“Good morning, buddy.” Dax cheerfully said as he sat down.“What do you want?” Liam calmly asked.“I will be taking a personal trip two weeks from now. Can you handle things here until I get back?”
