DELILAHMy head is pounding and my mouth and throat are parched. I try to move my arm to rub my temple, but I'm unable to lift my limbs. I open my eyes and see a room that I don't recognize. I look around and notice Tessa is in the bed next to me, but her arms are also restrained behind her back attached to the headboard as well. The room is dark, but I don't think I see anyone else in here. "Tess." I hiss in her direction. "Tess. Wake up." She opens her eyes looking around frantically just as confused as I am. "What happened? Where are we?" She whispers back at me while we try to fight the restraints."I have no idea. The last thing I remember is dancing with you and that girl Julie bumped into you spilling your drink all over us. We went to the bathroom to clean it up and then I can't remember anything else." I explain, looking around. "I see our phones on the counter. We need to try to get our hands free." I look over at Tessa's hands. "They used zip ties. We just need to keep wig

LIAMGetting into the SUV without Lilah was easily one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. I had promised her dad that I'd always protect her, and her being kidnapped while I'm only 15 feet away, makes me feel like I failed them both. Thank God they were able to save themselves. Tess let it slip to Ty that she and Dels had been taking boxing and self defense lessons since Delilah's mom passed away. Apparently, my tiny wife knows how to defend herself. Our opening performance at the game went on without a hitch. Delilah was waiting for me in the dressing room when the show was over just as she promised she would be. We barely wait for the game to end before heading straight to the airport. We had originally planned on staying another night in Vegas, but after everything that's happened we are both ready to get home. The media frenzy surrounding her kidnapping has been insane. Thankfully, Andrew had a press conference and answered as many questions as possible so hopefully

DELILAHWe officially have been living in our new house for six weeks. Liam has been super hands on with helping pick out everything we need to start our life together. We finally have furniture, which is exciting since we slept on a pallet for two weeks straight. We made the best of it though, with late night pillow fights, and building a fort out of sheets like we used to do when we were kids. When we aren't spending our time getting busy in every room of our new home, we are finishing up our senior year online. It's been difficult to get Liam to concentrate on his studies if I'm in the room, so I've been getting most of my work done on our balcony overlooking the ocean while he works in the office. I can't complain. I leave tomorrow for London with Tessa. She has been helping as my personal assistant since my modeling career has been skyrocketing. We've been darting off across the country nearly every weekend for different gigs and runway shows. This London show is for fashion wee

LIAMWe've been in Tokyo for three days now. Of course Dels has called at least once a day to video chat, but I still miss her like crazy. I'm not sure how I managed to go on tour without her last year. I realize now that I didn't manage well. I drowned myself in alcohol and women I cared nothing for. I'm done with all of that now though. I'm not sure how I managed to get her back, but I'm not messing it up this time around. We just finished another sold out concert and will travel overnight to the next stadium on the Asian tour. Dozens of fans were lined up outside the bus just as expected, hoping to catch one of the guys' eyes tonight. Luke and Noah brought this raven haired girl and her three friends on board with them. I eye him and shake my head miffed. "What are you doing? You better keep them away from me. I swear Luke. I am not ending up on any tabloids tomorrow. Dels will kill me." Or leave me forever, I think to myself. That would be even worse. "Relax Liam. It's not lik

DELILAH"Liam's Baby Mama Drama" is the headline that I'm greeted with all over my social media after my photo shoot with Ferdinand finishes this afternoon. The photo attached shows a very pregnant, very gorgeous model that I remember seeing in several American Eagle ads last year. Tessa sits on the bed next to me scrolling through her phone. "Hey, you haven't moved from that spot in three hours. Do you want to talk about it?" She hands me a bottle of water while waiting for my response."Do you think it's true?" I whisper. "What am I saying? Of course it's true. Look at her. She's gorgeous. I remember seeing her in that shoot with him a while back. Does the time line add up?" I quickly do the math in my head. "Shit, it does.""It doesn't change anything even if it is true Lilah. You love him and you're married now, remember? Even if she is having his kid, he's with you and she was just a fling. He had lots of those and you already knew that before you got back together."I try to s

TESSA"Lilah, let's go. You don't want to do anything rash. There are cameras everywhere tonight. Liam will definitely see this." I try to warn her, but it does no good. Ferdinand has been pumping her with drinks all night. She's turned into a vengeful drunk and this version of her gives no fucks about what Liam thinks. Delilah laughs bitterly, rolling her eyes, "Okay mom. Why should I care what Liam thinks? When has Liam cared about what I may think? Hmmm? I mean, he got another girl pregnant for crying out loud.""That was before you were together Lilah. Before you were married. If it's even true." I try to reason with her, but she's stubborn when she's sober, and a completely pigheaded drunk. "Details, details." She says, wrapping her arms around Ferdinand and threading her fingers in his hair. "We're just having a little fun dancing. It's not like we're having sex in the bathroom or something. Well, not yet anyway." She laughs and Ferdinand's eyes go wide with surprise. This is

DELILAH "Where are we headed tonight?" I ask Tess after we finish up a shoot for Victoria's Secret. "Are you sure you want to go out again?" She sighs. "I'm pooped. Can't we get takeout and hang out at the hotel tonight instead? We've gone out every night for the past 7 days. My liver needs a night off to recuperate." I roll my eyes. "Are you asking for us to stay home or is Tyler? Don't think I haven't heard you telling him what I've been up to." I scold. "I never got a play by play when Liam was sleeping his way across America." Tess looks away guiltily. "Tyler was worried about him okay? He's not been sleeping. He looks like shit. And he's not eating very well. He loves you Lilah, it's been a week. Call him."I purse my lips. "Whose side are you on anyway?" She's starting to make me feel guilty. Lord knows everyone would be judging me if it were the other way around. I can see the headlines now "Gold-digger Delilah Jones tricks Liam into Marriage". I roll my eyes at the double

LIAM"How much longer until we land?" I ask Tyler impatiently."Thirty minutes. You know this could completely blow up in your face right?" "I thought you said that they were staying in tonight? Why does this say she was just spotted with Taylor Swift?" I'm so frustrated, keeping tabs on my wife has been quite difficult lately with her refusing to talk to me. I just want to know that she's safe. "Tess told me they were staying in. I don't think she'd lie to me. Do you really think they were able to fool their entire security detail? Maybe those photos are old." He's clearly in denial."Have you met Delilah?" I ask him, raising my brows."Well, why would Tess lie to me?" Oh I see, he thinks Tess is wrapped around his finger. I knew more was going on between them than he let on."Because Dels told her to. You know Tessa is going to side with her, especially if it involves hanging out with Taylor Swift." I run my hands through my hair for the thousandth time today. "I need this plane to
