pictures queenHi everyone, Sooooooo please tell me you fell for Liam as well. He is such a cutie! I know this chapter is a bit low-key because it is in the POV of a 5-year-old child. Our little evil genius! Let me know in the comment section if you love the chapter too. I am a little busy for the next two weeks so I will only be uploading one or two chapters per week but after that, I want to up the pace. However, I am thinking about uploading a few inspirational pictures of my characters on my Ig. Please do follow. Lots of Love❤️

AmyI bit my lip, trying to hold back my emotions as I looked around my tiny apartment. This had been my home for the last few years, and it held memories of both joy and sorrow. I squealed like a crazy school girl when I landed my teaching job in the kitchen. I cried on the floor when the doctor told me that my mother would need to go away to a hospice or hospital situation, as she needed constant care. This is the place where I have cried and smiled and picked myself up more than I like to admit.Currently, as I placed the last of my essentials into my bag, I couldn’t deny the emotional weight of leaving this place behind. I was almost fully packed, ready to move into Mr. Crawford’s home. My salary would cover the rent here as well as my mother’s medical bills, so I decided to keep this apartment as a safe haven.However, I still needed to pay this month’s rent, and I was short on funds. So, I made my way to Mr. Howard’s condo, my landlord. I tapped his door knocker. Mr. Howard, my l

Ryan“Yeah, I will be there in ten minutes,” I murmured into my phone and ended the call. The final meeting for our new project was scheduled for today, and I needed to check on the preparations.I quickly wrapped a towel around my waist and glanced around my room, making sure the coast was clear. Ever since the incident with Ms. Amy walking into my room unannounced, I’d become more cautious. I rolled my eyes at the memory but couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at my lips when I thought about her flushed face.That woman is something else. “Why am I even thinking about her?” I muttered to myself, shaking my head.I grabbed my charcoal grey suit and a black tie, then picked out one of my favorite silver-tone Rolex watches to wear. After a quick hairstyle adjustment, parting it to the side, and a spritz of aftershave, I was ready to go.Before leaving, I contacted Caine to ensure everything was in order with some documents I needed. Once that was sorted, I grabbed my laptop bag. I

AmyURGH! That man is so infuriating! I only asked him about using the kitchen to confirm that it was okay before going into his personal space because many people do not like that.Just like my Abuela. She despised it when someone dared to enter her kitchen. Before her passing when I was just six, I vividly remembered her sternly cautioning even my Mama to be careful and not disrupt her kitchen. And my Mama, her only child, was practically flawless when it came to kitchen prowess.Mr. Crawford seems like a person who would be very anal about HIS things, so I asked before I could do something in the kitchen. There was something intimate about entering someone’s bedroom or kitchen, and I didn’t want to overstep my bounds.“Everything okay, dear?” Mrs. Veil asked, breaking me out of my reverie as I realized I had already made my way to the kitchen.“Hmm... yes, everything’s fine,” I replied, with a reassuring smile, hoping she didn’t misconstrue my request as an attempt to avoid her cook

RyanI gestured to the empty chair next to me on the patio, inviting Caleb to join me. He plopped down with a sly smirk that immediately annoyed me. I couldn’t hide my scowl at his self-satisfied expression. What the fuck is that smile about?“What?” I growled at him, my irritation clear, and his smile only grew wider as he riled me.Caleb shrugged nonchalantly, feigning innocence. “Ah, nothing,” he sighed, but his gaze wandered towards the patio door, giving me the impression that he was waiting for Amy to make an appearance.My frown deepened, and I found myself disliking the implications behind his gaze, even though I knew it was irrational. Logically, my brain knows Amy is safely tucked into bed right now. She immediately retreated to her bedroom after the awkward conversation with me, telling my brother to mind his business when he called Ms. Amy beautiful.She informed me that my dinner was in the oven and gave me a small smile before going to her bedroom while Caleb played with

Amy“Son of a biscuit eater,” I huffed, rolling up my now red-painted, silk camisole before tossing it into the washer. I was fuming, not only due to the strange, exhausting but charged interaction with my dagnabbit boss last night but also my darn abysmal luck!After my strange interaction with Caleb Crawford the night before, I rushed to my room. As I sifted through my opened boxes of clothes, I realized that I had left my paint supply bag open. And the next thing I know, all my clothes are covered with paint and glitter. How could I be this careless? And the best part was I did not even realize that I left paint on my clothes and to top it off, I have no decent clothes left.The only thing left for me to wear at night was the sexiest lingerie I owned. I huffed, remembering the debacle that followed afterward. How dare Mr. Crawford insult me like that? Who did he think he was, speaking to me in such a condescending manner?I admit that it wasn’t the most appropriate attire to be near

Ryan“Anything else I can get you, sir?” the air hostess inquired with a polite smile.“Hmm?” I looked up from my screen and replied, “No, thank you.”She nodded and returned to the cabin. Finally shutting down my laptop, I retrieved the glass of water that had sat untouched for about ten minutes.I was flying on the company jet today. I generally avoided using the company jet as chartering one was more expensive than flying first-class. Also, Mark tended to overuse the jet, attending more overseas meetings than me. Additionally, it was more eco-friendly, and not many people knew this, but I loved nature and tried to preserve it as much as I could from my end.I would have done that today as well if Mark hadn’t cried about the critical meeting of our project back home. The big baby didn’t want to handle some technical issues that had come up.He was furious that I had gone to the London office without him. Well, I did not want to go, but someone at my home was making me restless. Not t

AmyI practically jumped out of my skin when I saw the red substance dripping from my head. My immediate reaction was to bring my hand in front of my face, only to find it covered in red liquid. I screamed once more, my heart racing as I rushed toward the mirror. The red paint formed liquid droplets, steadily dripping down from my head to my face and pooling on the ground below.What the fudge is that?Instinctively, I brought my palm closer to my nose, and a strong paint smell hit me, making me cringe. Oh my God, it’s paint! It wasn’t a head injury or something!The loud knock on my door made me jump again. “Amy? Are you okay in there? I heard a scream.” Jim’s voice filtered through the door.“Hmmm... Yeah... I mean no... I will be outside in a minute. Can you please wait for me in the living room?” I replied, still trying to process what had just happened. I hurried to the shower, frantically checking all the bottles to make sure there was no more paint lurking in there. When I reali

RyanIt had been eight days since Amy... Ms. Amy’s accident and it has been a.. uhh... weird experience. Jim has been dropping off and picking up Liam from school alone while Ms. Amy is on bed rest. Liam seems to have practically moved into Amy’s room, and the two of them chat and giggle like schoolgirls hopped up on sugar and never-ending sleepovers.According to the doctor, Amy was to remain on bed rest for two weeks and then take it slow for another week afterward. Her butterfly stitches were removed the day before, and now her wound needed daily cleaning. But she was proving to be an impatient patient.She had requested, or practically begged, to be allowed to tutor or spend time with Liam after just three days of bed rest. It was a rather unusual sight. Most people would be delighted to take a break from work when they fell ill, but Amy appeared to be an exception.Liam checks on her everyday before he goes to school and runs directly into her room as soon as he comes back. Ms Amy
