Все главы Divorced Heiress Strikes Back : Глава 41 - Глава 50

… Haley left the mansion, anger coupled with disgust consuming her heart. He saw the truth. Why did he choose to deny it?What was she expecting anyway?Did she expect Liam to suddenly take her side and defend her? Of course, he would back up his mother even though Vera was in the wrong. He'd done it before, and he'd continue doing it. Haley didn't need his protection. He could go to hell for all she cared. “Hey, wait up!” Someone called out to her from a distance. Haley almost didn't recognize the voice until she turned around, coming face to face with the man who saved her. “You're leaving too soon, hope all is well.” The guy caught up with her. His voice was light and full of energy, contrary to Liam's dark and gloomy voice. The brooding man could not be compared to his brother who was all smiles and lively. “Why did you follow me?” Haley eyed his features, finding herself comparing the similarities between the brothers. Daryl shrugged. “Remember you're my responsibilit

The voices outside quietened down for some seconds, increasing Haley's confusion. Neither the security man nor the lady spoke again,Until the sounds of footsteps resumed, closer this time.“Where is she!?” Camille barged into the place. “Where is that slut who's been seducing my husband? You'd better come out-”She paused, her gaze snapping to the dining table. Camille staggered and her bag dropped onto the couch, while she let out a loud scream. “Ahhhhh! Oh, my goodness!” Hugging her pregnancy bump, Camille sank onto the couch, her face twisting with pain. “Oh, God! I think my baby's coming!”Standing up, Andrew breathed out an exasperated sigh before sitting beside her. Haley left the dining table too and sat on the lady's other side. “Andy, help!” She cried. “You're alright, Camille.” Sounding helpless, Andrew carefully rubbed her stomach. “You were moving too vigorously and shouting, of course, the baby would be disturbed.”Her pregnancy wasn't so big to expect a baby so so

Like drum beats hammering her heart, his hard footsteps resounded as he closed the distance between them. “I thought you were supposed to be living here.” He trapped her by the door, his eyes running over the nightdress she wore. “Where are you coming from?”“None of your business-” Haley gasped and the words died in her throat when he leaned closer. Leaving her no space for breathing, her throat was suddenly parched. “Doing all these to get my attention, huh?” He smirked. “Newsflash! You won.”Haley sucked in a deep breath as his cold lips touched her skin, trailing soft kisses down her cleavage. Pressing her to the door, one hand left her waist, running up her fabric. He hooked a finger on her shoulder straps, pulling it down, and exposing her skin. When the man lifted his head and kissed her lips, sparks exploded in Haley's head. Was this a dream or a nightmare?Craving his touch all the time, she'd had similar dreams before. Lost in his touch, Haley grappled for the reality

Haley's palm flew to that spot on her neck, her heart sinking. Apprehension filling up her heart, she dared not stare into the guy's eyes. Damn! William Nash deserved more than a crash in the head! “Ha,uhm… it's just- it's just a mosquito bite.” Haley bit her lips. Quickly, she loosened up her hair, letting it fall over her shoulders to conceal her neck. “That mosquito must be a master at his job.” Daryl cleared his throat, a hint of laughter in his tone. Haley blushed. She stared out of the window and took in a long drag of the air. If she hadn't been so frightened, she wouldn't have instinctively hit Liam with the vase. If only he'd listened to her warning to stay away from her. An awkward silence hung in the air after Daryl's last statement. None of them spoke a word until the car finally pulled over. “You're not lively around my Bro. Hope he's not bullying you.”Haley didn't see his question coming. He must be a very watchful person to detect the tension between her

Pushing the door slightly, Leah stepped into the office, her eyes wandering around the place, looking like a lost kitten. Her gaze strayed to him, and she smiled, lowering her head. What was she doing here? Liam frowned.Wasn't she supposed to be resting at home? Last week, she'd complained about feeling weak and dizzy. Liam gave her a month's leave to fully recuperate at home. She never told him what caused her illness and he had to hear about her pregnancy from his mother. Liam's thoughts wired back to that business trip. If he'd drunk less, he wouldn't have made such a huge mistake!Still, why couldn't he remember a thing? Leah hesitated by the door as her fearful gaze darted to Haley.She looked shocked for a while. “I- Uhm, I- I didn't know you were here, Mrs. Nash. I- I'll take my leave.”“Come back,” Liam called out. She hadn't even said what brought her. Was she very scared of Haley that she was leaving so soon?“Why did you come?” He asked. How did she even know th
