The next morning Carmen jumped out of her sleep when she heard a loud knock on her room door.
"Open the door."
Carmen heard Liam's voice from on the other side of the door, and in a rush, Carmen got out of bed and raced to the door.
Once she opened it, she met Liam staring at her with an aloof expression on his face.
“Good morning. Can I do something for you?” Carmen sleepily asked while striving to keep a stable smile on her face.
“Get ready.” Liam said in a cold tone.
“For what?”
“Shouldn't you know already?”
Carmen confusedly gazed at him as her mind skipped through various reasons Liam was at her door so early in the morning. However, since they left his parents' house yesterday, he had not spoken a word to her until now, so she found it difficult to gues
Carmen walked into Liam's office with fear in her heart. But she didn't have the guts to show it on her face.Once Carmen closed the door behind her, she waited for a minute before walking closer towards Liam.As he sat down behind his desk, he didn't show any emotions on his face. So it was difficult for Carmen to tell what he was thinking.But somehow she felt as though he was pretty mad, and she didn't know if it was because he was jealous or it was his pride.“Start talking.” Liam calmly said.However, the way he spoke gave Carmen a clear picture of how he felt, and in that instant, she wished that she didn't walk into that office with him.“I don't know what you mean.” Carmen softly said.She knew that she did nothing wrong. But the expression on Liam's face made her feel guilty for a crime that doesn't exist.“Haha! You are really a tramp.” Li
Dax followed Liam into the office and slammed the door behind him.“Did my door do something to you?” Liam asked.“Yes, it did.” Dax said.Liam frowned at his friend’s mad expression as he took his seat. He tipped the desk while striving to act patient even though he wasn't.“Are you angry with my door or me?” Liam asked.Dax walked to the front of the desk, pulled the chair closer to the table, and sat down. He knew what he was about to say was none of his concern. But he still planned to say it anyway.“We are both men, so I am not going to hold back my feelings. I am mad at you, you prick!” Dax angrily replied.“I don't recall us having any childhood grudges, and you just arrived in the country, so it is kind of difficult for me to guess how I offended you.” Liam calmly
Liam’s heart skipped a beat. Then he stopped and turned around to gaze at Dax. His eyes bear coldness when he stared at his friend.“I see you picked up a new and disturbing behavior.” Liam coldly said.“What are you talking about?” Dax jokingly asked.“Isn't it disturbing that you are listening in on other conversations?”“Why are you being so serious? I happened to hear the lady's voice when I tapped you on the shoulder. I wasn't eavesdropping on anything. You seemed tense. Is everything okay?”Liam placed both his hands into his pocket as he let out a sigh of relief.“I am not stressed. I need you to stay out of my business and stop whatever you have going on with my wife!” Liam coldly said.Dax seemed a bit disheartened. He then looked down at his shoes to hide the sadness that occupied his eyes.“There's nothing going on between Car
Carmen bit on her lower lip as she struggled to not allow her cry from within to slip out of her mouth.She stood still for three seconds, feeling like she was being swallowed by the anguish ripping throughout her heart.Liam gazed at Carmen's back while wondering about what thoughts were going through her head and for once, he felt like he wanted to listen to her feelings, but she wasn't saying a word.At last, Carmen built up enough courage, and she used that strength to walk into the bathroom. Then she slammed the door and locked it.Even though Carmen and Liam had so much to say to each other, the room grew silent since they didn't have the courage to speak those words out loud.Carmen listened to the silence in her room. But after a minute or two, she heard her room door banged shut, and that sound pained her more than she expected.“When I felt your gentle touch upon my
The next morning Carmen slowly opened her eyes, and yet she wished that she had one more hour of sleep.She lied in bed feeling empty as she listened to the silence in her room, and even though it was just the start of the day, Carmen already wanted it to come to an end.She turned her head to the left and sadly gazed at the spare pillow, then her lips curved into a frown.“Good morning, Carmen.” She whispered to herself.With a heavy heart, Carmen dragged herself out of bed and headed towards her closet.She got a hold of a white pencil skirt, a silky silver v-neck blouse, and a black blazer. Feeling satisfied with her choice, Carmen headed back to the bed and dump the clothes on it.‘I hope that my outfit will be to Liam's taste today because I don't have the energy to exchange hurtful words with him.’ Carmen thought as she left for the bathroom.After a few minut
Liam did not reply to his driver's remarks. But he had it kept at the back of his head as he got down from the car.Carmen's smile quickly shifted into a frown when she saw Liam approaching her. He stood close by Carmen's side and placed his hand around her waist.“Bro!” Dax happily said as he walked up to Liam and Carmen.Even though his heart ached to see them so affectionate, he maintained the smile on his face when he met with them.“Good morning, bro.” Liam said.Dax noticed the hostility in his friend’s eye, as he strived to keep his eyes off Carmen. But he found it difficult to do so since she looked extremely stunning.“Good morning, Dax.” Carmen softly said.She calmly then rested her palm against Liam’s hand and pulled it away from her body.“Good morning
Liam gazed at Carmen and a grin appeared on his face and it wasn't long when he burst into a laugh.Carmen removed her focus from her breakfast and placed it on Liam as she stared at him.“Is the a problem?” Carmen calmly asked.“Are you not hungry?” Liam inquired while forcing himself to stop laughing.Carmen reluctantly stared down at her plate and it came as no shock to her that she had barely eaten much.‘It’s not like I am not starving, but this moment feels like a rare dream that I don't want to end, and the only thing keeping this dream going is this food.’ Carmen sadly thought as she pitifully looked at her breakfast.“If you don't like it, you can order something different from the menu, or I can take you to another restaurant.” Liam gently said.Carmen lifted her head and stared at her husband for about two minutes. She then let out a depressing sigh.
Carmen took a step forward as she clutched her fist. She had fear in her eyes when she saw how enrage her mother seemed."This is not good." Carmen mumbled to herself.Liam bore no emotions on his face when Carmen gazed at him, and it had her wondering about the thoughts that were occupying his mind.“Hello, mother.” Carmen straightforwardly said when she reached Mrs. Smith.Even though Carmen was striving her best to look calm, her heart violently pounded in her chest whenever she stared at her mother's eyes.“Spare me the greeting!” Mrs. Smith shouted.Liam tried to keep his expression gentle. But he felt furious on the inside, and he was using every bit of his energy to restrain his anger."Well, this is not a decent area for such a discussion. So why don't we move to my office?" Liam calmly stated.
