Lahat ng Kabanata ng Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife: Kabanata 1911 - Kabanata 1920

Inside the spacious and well-lit living room was Liam. He was dressed in a matching set of gray pajamas like the one Caprice was wearing and was resting on the couch. There were books and a tea set on the table, but he was neither reading nor drinking tea. He sat quietly with his arms folded in front of him. He must be waiting for Caprice. Soon, Caprice showed up. He turned to her and motioned her over. “Come here." Caprice approached him. She was aiming for the couch adjacent to his. "Sit with me.” Liam noticed and beckoned. His voice was calm, but there was an undertone of authority that was not to be disobeyed. Caprice silently nodded and sat next to him with her cheeks flushed red. He turned to her. “How are you feeling? Do you still feel sick?” She shook her head and murmured, "No." Liam seemed relieved to hear this. Then, he gently grabbed her by her chin and turned her to face him. He peered into her eyes and asked, “Before you left the car, you men

He gently caressed her hair. “Look at me.” She took a deep breath and looked up. Her blushed cheeks, which were the shade of ripe tomatoes, immediately came into Liam’s view. He was briefly startled by the sight, then he began snickering. Caprice felt embarrassed and groaned, "What are you laughing at?!” She looked up, just like he told her to! Liam grinned. “I’ll tell you if you lift your head taller.” There seemed to be some sort of magical effect to his words. Caprice craned her neck upward to face him just as she was told. Her face was fully in view now. It was then that Caprice realized that she had fallen into a trap. Alas, it was too late. Liam had lowered his head and locked his lips onto hers. He made sure to clasp the back of her head with his hand so she would not have the space to break free. His domineering breath poured into her. She could not breathe, she began to struggle fruitlessly and whimper for air. Only then did Liam reluctantly l

She was only planning to get some shut-eye while waiting for her father. It did not take long before she dozed off and fell asleep. She barely noticed that Liam had carried her in his arms back into the bedroom and settled her into bed. He made sure to tuck her in properly and covered her with a thick blanket. Even in her sleep, she grinned from ear to ear. She must be in a very good mood. Without realizing it, Liam found himself caressing her cheeks. After feeling the soft texture of her skin briefly, he withdrew his hand and walked out of the bedroom. Then, he heard a knock on the door. He went to the door and opened it. Outside the door was a tall and elegantly dressed middle-aged man. He wore his pair of iconic gold-rimmed glasses, a piercing look shooting through the lens. Liam greeted the man politely, “Hey Uncle Stockton. Please, come in." John regarded him without much affection. "Where is Caprice? I'll take her home." "She fell asleep." John fr

Heather sensed her father’s reluctance. She took a deep breath and assured him, “Dad, don’t worry. I won’t do anything rash. I just want to find out what kind of connections Caprice has, then I can figure out how to deal with her. I’ll make sure Liam doesn’t find out about it.” Roman stirred. “Heath, I still think it’s best that we move on from this. Nothing is going to come out of you taking revenge against her.” He was a man of business and recognized that the risk far outweighed the potential rewards. This was a wholly unnecessary venture. Heather fixed a look of determination in her eyes. “Dad, I want to be with Liam. Caprice has nothing going for her except for her looks, and I know that I am better than her in every way possible. I cannot stand to see her steal Liam away from me.” Roman was caught by surprise, and something gleamed in his eyes. If his daughter could tie the knot with Liam, their family prosperity would be set for life. Heather was relentless. “D

She had only managed two steps into the corridor when a hand seized her by her wrist. With a tremendous pull, Liam dragged her back to his side. Caprice gave him a brief, shy look. Her cheeks glowed with a shade of pink. Liam grinned smugly and led her outside with him. His car was parked in the open space right outside the building. As soon as they appeared, the driver got out of the car and opened the door for them. Liam let go of Caprice so that she could enter the car. She burrowed into the car, and he followed her into the car after. “Take us to the Stocktons,” he instructed the driver. The driver obliged and began driving. A silence descended upon them after that. After a while, after Caprice had managed to calm her beating heart, she felt like her cheeks had become swollen. She took out a piece of small mirror from her bag to inspect her face further. Just as she thought, it was puffed up and glowing red! She suddenly blushed again for the
