Oh well, that was good. At least I wouldn't have to bother about him punishing me anymore.Kate thought, and she resumed eating her food.By the time Liam came back, she was lying on the couch and watching Tv.It was past nine in the night and the day had been very stressful, yet she had the strength to watch television?Liam thought as he walked past her to the fridge; he took out a bottle of water from it; opening the bottle of pills, he poured some on his hand and swallowed, then drank some water.Kate’s gaze shifted from the TV to him; he had his back facing her and his head was low as he stared at something in his hand. He had a strange feeling around him, a feeling of loneliness. The more she stared at him, the more distinct the feeling became; and she realized he looked so lonely.Liam stared at the bottle for a moment before closing the fridge and walking towards his room. He was tempted to look at her, but he forced his eyes n

 “Liam Smith, you're here already, sorry to have taken too long, I was a bit occupied.” The man, who had walked out of the huge doors, spoke with a vibrant smile on his face. He stretched out his hand for a handshake, and Liam shook him briefly. The house was very magnificent; just like Liam’s home back in Australia, except that it wasn't as quiet. Kate had counted no less than ten women walk past the living room, wearing skimpy dresses and looking like escorts. They had not stayed up-to five minutes before the man came out. He was fat and short; Kate felt his physique was rather depressing to look at. Three of the women she had seen walk past accompanied him to the living room and they sat down opposite her and Liam. When the man saw her, his eyes remained on her body, checking her out. Kate caught his gaze on her body and she felt like throwing up but she couldn't show her disgust, he was a client; and although Liam had not told her what they h

Her head was in a mess now, she did not think of this before she went to get the first aid box, but what would she do, she already brought it, she had to give it to him, anyway.It was better he rejected it when she gave it to him, than never trying.Pushing herself from the door, she walked quietly to his door, and she knocked lightly on it. Her heart pounded against her chest as she waited for a response. She was a little uneasy.She was only doing this because she didn't want to owe him a favor, she wanted nothing to disrupt her plans; she didn't want to feel any pity when she unleashed hell on him.She waited a while but Liam did not open the door; she knocked again, this time a little harder but there was still no reply; she waited a moment and when the door didn't open, she turned around to leave;Maybe he was sleeping, or he didn't want a disturbance, she wouldn't dare knock again, he might step out and scream the living life out of her.

After lunch, Kate printed the 15 files from the printer in the penthouse; then she sat on the couch in the living room and started reading through them. The writing was tiny, and it made her feel sleepy. She wanted to abandon them and go do something else, but she didn't want Liam coming back to find a reason to unleash his vile on her. But no matter how much she tried, she couldn't finish reviewing the third file before she fell asleep.By past seven o’clock in the evening, she heard a loud thunderclap outside, and she flung up from the couch; her eyes wide open. The lightening bolt came with a huge wind, which clapped the windows and curtains.She looked outside and saw that the sky had darkened, and she knew it would be a thunderstorm. And she hated the storm.Her face paled as she watched the sky darken through the windows, but she could not move; she wanted to go close to the windows, but she couldn't bring herself to approach them. Her heart was poun

She sat down, she began eating her food. The whole place was spookily quiet; she could feel Liam’s gaze on her as her meal agonizingly went down her throat; she didn't want to look at him, but she couldn't control her wandering eyes, and before she could stop herself, her eyes turned to him and they locked in his gaze, instantly she choked on her meal and coughed, she immediately gulped down a glass of water to stable herself. F*ck! Can he not look elsewhere?!!Kate screamed in her head. Ever since she sat down he had been staring as though there was something odd on her body.Fine, she had misbehaved the previous day, but staring at her like that would kill her before her time!We're going back to the Australia tomorrow; do you want to see beautiful places in the city today?”“….”Kate’s eyes widened so much that it nearly fell from its sockets when she heard him speak suddenly. She turned to her b
