Lily walked into the restaurant, and a small smile appeared on her lips when she saw Liam waving at her. She had been incredibly grateful and relieved when she heard that Asher cancelled their meeting earlier in the day. It made her more relaxed about her date. "You honestly look more beautiful each time I see you," Liam complimented as he pulled out a chair for her, and a shy smile covered Lily's face. She dressed up nice and she felt good, but she hasn't felt beautiful since her second trimester, and this feels good to hear, from her date. "Thank you, Liam. You look good too." He chuckled and took a seat, "still not as good looking as you. I'm glad you accepted my invitation." "Why wouldn't I?" "You know, given our chase and run history in college... I didn't think you would."A waiter came in at the moment, saving Lily from having to give a response. Truth be told, she found Liam attractive now, but she was only on this date to keep Asher out of her mind and off her back. Sh

"Lily, can you hear me out please?" Asher pleaded frantically, trying to get to the woman who was seated before him with hollow eyes, and she shrugged. "You don't owe me an explanation, Mr Allard. What goes on in your personal life is really none of my business, we are here for an official meeting, let's get to it." "Lily..." He called out pathetically, his shoulders sagging in defeat. Everything about Asher's plans went south the second the news was released to the press about him having a child with Charlotte. He didn't need a soothsayer to tell him that it was Charlotte who leaked the news to the press. The both of them after all were the ones who knew about it. "It's not true," he mumbled to her hearing, hoping it would at least move her to hear him out, but again she shrugged. "Like I said, it's none of my business." "I never touched her, Lily. She was pregnant for her ex, who is presumably dead now. The child isn't mine."The DNA test he ran said otherwise, but he still w

"Here you go," Liam passed Lily the bowel of fruits, and Angelica, whose face was plastered on the tablet screen, had her mouth drop open at the sight. Lily took the bowel of fruits from him with a smile, and muttered, "thank you." He winked at her and walked out of the room to give her space. After the doctor said she was good, Liam wanted her to stay a while longer, but Lily insisted on going home and Liam insisted that if she was going to go home, he was coming with her. "Girl, you left out the part of a man following you home." Angelica shrieked once Liam disappeared out of the frame, and Lily's face instantly felt like it was on fire. "It's not like that, he just insisted on following me home in case anything happens again." "In other words, he's a keeper... Asher must be flipping out wherever he is right now. "" Let's refrain from saying his name, " Lily said, a little sharper than she intended and she stabbed a piece of fruit with her fork before she bit on it aggressivel

Lily stared at the door long after Liam left, before she slowly stood to her feet. He was right, she was treating him like shit... It made her feel even worse because she got with him to replace Asher and the thoughts of him in her head. There was no denying that he occupied a major part of her head, but that was no excuse to treat Liam like that, especially in Asher's presence. She twisted the door handle, and the second she pulled and walked out, she bumped into Asher - who had his hand up and ready to knock - and she instantly lost her footing. Thank God for Asher's quick reflexes, because he immediately wrapped an arm around her waist, steadying her. "Are you okay?" "What are you doing here? You almost killed me!" She moved away from his hold, and Asher dropped his hand to his side dejectedly. He didn't know how he ended up here or what he was going to say if he actually ended up knocking. He just ended up here after over thinking the fact that they could be in a room togeth

Asher and Christopher walked into the house together, but before they could make an appearance before the others, Asher held Christopher back. Last night after the truth about Charlotte's baby was revealed, Christopher also went into details about how disgusting and vile Liam Normand was. He went under different names whenever he wanted to commit his despicable acts, which is really not limited to stealing, sexual assaults and even murder, of which Christopher was a victim of his many many atrocities.Asher couldn't bring himself to believe Christopher's tales about how vile he is. He hated Liam's guts and his relationship with Lily, but he didn't think him vile... And if he really was out to hurt Lily, why is he going by his normal name? And most importantly, who could tell if it was the same Liam?Which is why both of them were at the Larkin's mansion this morning. To confirm Christopher's tales."Listen," he placed his hand on Christopher's shoulder to keep him from running into t
