Gwyneth simply did not want to act pretentious—they were married, and anyone would consider it an issue if they could not share a room.After taking turns to shower, they both lay in silence on their respective single beds that were added hastily. Liam actually found legroom scarce on his, and Gwyneth clearly noticed that.Her lips twitched a little before she eventually asked, "Want to trade beds?"She could do that much—especially when it was for her own sake."Just sleep," Liam replied.Neither spoke after that, and the room was once again silent, but Liam's response comforted Gwyneth more than her bed.On the other hand, Liam kept his eyes staring fixedly on the ceiling for the next five minutes, his mind a complete mess.He could not stop himself from thinking about everything that happened to Gwyneth today… Having been encircled by thugs on a narrow alley and facing a close shave with gun violence, fear still lingered in his mind, stuck like a splinter.His fingers tapp

Though the plains where Gwyneth landed the plane was vast and empty, there were buildings and people living nearby."Thank goodness we didn't land on a deserted island," she giggled to ease her nerves—they barely survived, after all.Liam stared at her in turn, hesitating for a while before reaching out to tuck her hair behind her ear.She did a double take, her body stiffening in reflex although she did not evade his touch.They were close enough to see each other's reflection in the other's eyes."Thank you. I'd be dead if not for you," he said earnestly, still surprised that Gwyneth could pilot a plane.Gwyneth beamed at him in turn and shrugged."I should be thanking you too. That man would've killed me if not for you."And that was the truth—they had each other's backs in that situation, and they would be dead if either of them were not there.Liam's heart skipped a beat, but he said nothing else—remembering this was just enough.Still, he took a step, remembering that s

"Good morning," Gwyneth greeted Liam and hurried into the bathroom.There, she spaced out as she stared at her reflection in the mirror, wondering what on earth led to her heart racing for a couple beats there.She washed up afterward, but it was not until half an hour later until she emerged, and it actually got Liam worried."What took you so long? Are you sick?""No. I-I was just taking a shower." Liam almost choked on his coffee—she did not change her clothes, and the towels were still on the shelf outside the bathroom. How did she manage to take a shower?Still, the question faded out of mind as he watched her hungrily devour a sandwich."Where are we going today?" Gwyneth asked—she certainly noticed how stupid her lie had been and quickly changed the subject."I'm done with work. There's a workshop behind my office for jadeite. Would you like to take a look?"Gwyneth nodded despite the schedule being decided so hastily, finishing her sandwich in just a few mouthfuls w

As Wesley quickly backed away with an apologetic smile, Gwyneth could tell from his reaction that the man behind her was shooting him a murderous glare again.Nonetheless, Liam beckoned that they should speak indoors since it was cold outside. Moreover, they had been traveling across three different countries of varying climates, and he was actually worried that Gwyneth would fall sick.Catching his cue, Wesley followed Gwyneth and Liam, though he never stopped yapping ever since they got indoors. "I'm sure you're not aware, but you've become a viral sensation, boss," he said, whipping out his phone and showing Gwyneth what was going on Twitter.The video of her drunken dance and every information on her was still up there, trending, leaving Gwyneth bemused—she was just letting loose after getting drunk! But someone had to record a video of it, and it even circulated back to Hestia?Liam was annoyed even as he listened to them talk—he still remembered all the men and women ogli

Things were certainly lively online.However, celebrities do not care how they are portrayed in the news—what they fear most is having no news about them.And that was the case for Callie, whose reputation took a nosedive after Gwyneth criticized her composition and makeup.However, it was not that serious since a little scripted publicity would be enough to clear things up.The problem was Gwyneth—everyone knew about the beef between her and Callie. And now that Gwyneth was revealed to be Hayden's love interest and Liam's wife, she was basically untouchable!As such, no one would be allying themselves with Callie.Poor publicity and minimal exposure are certainly lethal to celebrities, and Callie's circumstances were getting worse by the day, while her spite for Gwyneth only grew.Still, she had been in touch with Elizabeth frequently. Given the other woman's mindset, she was certainly keen to use Callie to take Gwyneth down a peg. They certainly hit it off, while Callie rega
