The Forgotten Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

The news hit the press in under 48 hours and the headlines read "Billionaire Heir Faces Custody Battle—Ex Accuses Him of Instability." It reached social media faster than I ever thought it would. I had expected that Liam and his family would keep something like this private but it was obvious that they just loved the attention they got from the media so much. They could not keep any information from the media even when the said information was going to potentially injure them as well. They didnt care, as long as every one else could see it and talk about them as much as possible, then they were going to make sure that they leak it to the media. I could not figure out if it was a way for them to make more money or gain more popularity but no matter what it was, it meant absolutely nothing to me and I was just pissed that they could not keep one single information from the public. Still, it was my fault that they even had what to talk about. After all, I gave them a very juicy topic o

I didnt get enough time to process what had just happened before my phone rang again. This time, it was Liam calling my phone and my heart beat faster than it did before. I didnt know why he was calling but I was sure it was not to tell me that he doesnt want to fight me on this anymore. That young man wanted a war and he was going to get one if he didnt stop disturbing my life. I was already unstable from the information that I just discovered about him and his family and I knew I could not stomach talking to him at the moment. I ignored the call, hoping that he wont call back but luck was not on my side because he called back with more intensity than before. I saw the call and text he sent telling me to pick up and still, I ignored him. Then he called the third time and I sighed, hesitated and then picked up. It was obvious that he was not going to stop anytime soon and I needed to do something to help myself not go crazy from his rampant calls. When I picked up, his voice was ic

The next morning, I called Steven into my room. I had to tell him to be extra careful with my son today. "Steven, come in," From the look on his face, I could tell that he was probably expecting something different. I could not believe that he still hasnt gotten over his crush especially after he had seen the mess that was going on in my life. It felt surreal to actually have someone still want you that much after they knew almost everything about you. But I guess the same could be said for Liam, so maybe I was not as bad as I thought I was. "Ma, is everything okay?" Steven asked as he tried to touch me. I moved silently from his path, not wanting to give him any kind of ideas that would make him positive that something could ever happen between us. "Steven, I have told you severally that I am your employer and because of that, you cannot act the way that you do. Its just not right and proper." I told him again and he nodded his head slowly before he moved few steps away from me.

When I got back home, Steven was standing beside my door, his face swollen and he was limbing. I could not believe Liam had done this to me. Liam looked like a very calm person, but it was now clear to me that he was only calm when I or my son was in the picture. To everyone else, he had become a tyrant and I could not help but wonder why he changed so much or if he had always been like that and I wasnt just so vigilant enough to see it. But in my defence, I had not known him outside the four walls that we usually stayed in together. I had not seen him interact with other people and all I could really do was wonder if this was how it was meant to be. If he was always like that. I didnt allow such thoughts to cloud my judgement. I just opened my door and went straight to Micah’s room to drop him. "Okay, baby. You need to do your homework now, brush your teeth and come down for dinner, okay?" I told him. "What about the nice man we met today? Won't he also be joining us for dinner m

As soon as Steve walked out, I heaved a sigh and knew that I just had to put my shit together. I could not keep messing up the way I was because sooner than later my foolishness was going to get someone badly hurt and I didnt need that on my hands.I already had a rich handsome man fighting with me for something so important as my son, I could not add a handsome and strong man fighting me for my love as well. But why could I not control myself when I was around him?I knew it was the handiwork of lust. I had been lusting over him for days now and so when he all but threw himself on me, I was ready to accept it with such open arms. But deep down, it wasnt what I wanted. He was just a means to and end and if I did have sex with him, the end would be pretty near and thats why I couldn't do it, because if I did do it, he would realize very quickly that I never wanted him in the way that he may want me.I never wanted that close feeling, that love that he claims he has for me was felt by
