Dax dropped his pen on the document. Then he leaned back in his seat as he watched Liam entered his office.
The atmosphere got hostile pretty fast even though both men appeared calm.
As Liam took his seat, he maintained his cold gaze while looking Dax directly in the eye.
“It's been five days since you returned home, so why did you choose for us to talk now?” Liam asked.
“Because it's been five days since Carmen left me at the airport and she hasn't returned home yet.” Dax stated.
“She's staying at my place.”
“Good. I simply needed to know that she was safe.”
Liam's index finger slightly rested on his bottom lip as he slyly stared at Dax with a smirk on his face.
She's safe.” Liam straightforwardly said.
His nails then gently tapped on the chair arms while he doubtfully stared at his friend. Then Liam rose to his feet and turned around to leave.
“Do you know what you are doing to her?” Dax intoned.
“For someone

The day faded slowly as the morning became an afternoon and the dull light met Carmen curled up in a ball while laying on Liam's kitchen floor.Her skin was mark with her tear stains, and the spot where she laid had countless drops of salty liquid on the tile.Carmen couldn't tell how long she had been sobbing for, but her eyes felt puffy from crying, she was dehydrated, and her entire body was sore.No one should be able to cry that hard, and yet she couldn't bring herself to stop as she and Liam's conversation replayed in her head.After a while, her lousy ringtone finally forced Carmen to dry her tears and pulled herself together. Then she answered the call.“Mo...mom, what's up?” Carmen mumbled, striving to keep her voice stable as possible.“Where have you been these five days. Since you arrived back in the country, we haven't got a visit from you or lay our sight on you!” Mrs. Smith's angry voice flowed into Carmen's ear, causing her t

The light was blinding at first when Liam raised his eyelids. Then he gently shut them for a second before reopening them again.After his vision had gotten adjusted to the light, he squeezed his eyes shut and shook his head for a second to pulled himself together. Then he stared down at Ali laying beside him.At that moment the shock Liam felt caused his heartbeat to stop for almost three seconds.However, when he lifted his head and his eyes met with Carmen's angry gaze, he lost track of how fast his heartbeat increased.In a haste move, Liam rushed out of the bed, only to realize that he was naked.“What is going on?” Liam mumbled as he grabbed his clothes off the floor.With pure embarrassment on his face, he started getting dressed, and the pain Carmen felt while watching him was indescribable.“You tell me!” She coldly said with a numb expression as she gazed away from him.At this point, Liam's brain was already strivin

It took a while for everyone in the hall to realize what was going on, but once Dax and Carmen got their attention, the place was crowded with whispers of excitement as they watched them kiss.However, their voices had Liam feeling like something sharp was ripping his heart from the inside, and no matter how hard he tried to block out the noise, it kept getting louder, leaving him in a state of agonizing pain.His eyes didn't sway away from Carmen as he clutched his fist and took a step towards her.‘Sure! You both may be living in la-la land because your affair is hidden. But what happens when it comes in the open? Who do you think will be in favor of you guys? Have you thought about Carmen's image or how you are going to drag her down in the mess you made!’With an aching heart, Liam slightly shook his head to get those words out of his mind as it rang in his ears. Then he took another step forward.‘Carmen's family doesn'

Drops of rain beat upon the car windshields as Dax sat behind the steering wheel with Carmen in the passenger seat.Both of them had not spoken since they left the Golden Eagle hotel.“Don't take me home?” Carmen finally gained the courage to say.“Can I ask why?” Dax mumbled, keeping his eyes fixed on the road.“Just because…”“Okay... Where are we heading then?”“Anywhere except my house and yours.”For a moment Dax's eyes swayed away from the road and passionately gazed at Carmen. Then he placed his focused back.“How are you feeling now?” Dax mumbled.Without taking her sight of the window glass and the several dots of raindrops on it, Carmen softly breathed.“I feel hot.” She absentmindedly mumbled.“Same. Maybe it's the heater. I think that I should turn it off.” Dax worriedly said.Hearing the discomfort in his voice, Carmen stared away from the window and gazed at him.“Are you okay?” She asked in

“Mr. Ash, you are one very lucky guy. Another hit, and we were going to be talking about a broken jaw. However, you have nothing to worry about since only your skin got badly bruised.” The doctor said while staring at the x-ray results.After looking at her watch for a second, Carmen gazed at the doctor and Dax with less patience in her eyes and a smile on her lips.“That's good. It's a relief that you are fine.” Carmen gently intoned as she stood from the chair.“You are leaving?” Dax asked with a bit of shock in his voice.“Yes, I got to get to work. I'm already a few minutes late.”“Oh, okay. Text me when you arrive.”“Sure.”The smile on Dax's lips slowly faded as he watched Carmen leave the room, then his face became dulled when the door shut behind her.‘How long will it take for you to love me back? Is that even possible?’ Dax doubtfully

Chester stood up immediately when he saw Carmen coming his way, then the smile on his face quickly faded when his eyes caught a glimpse of Mrs. Smith just a few steps behind her daughter.When they got closer, Chester's lips moved, but no words came out as he stared at Carmen and her mother walked right past him without recognizing his presence.“You know, mother, I could have handle the entire Ali's situation without your involvement, and I had it all under control,” Carmen said with a bit of aggression in her tone.“If by handle, you mean screaming like an uncivil being, then you truly had it handled. Anyway, what did she say to have you all work up?” Mrs. Smith curiously asked.“Nothing.”“It didn't seem like nothing to me.”“Let it go, mother.”For a moment, Chester doubtfully stared behind them as they walked further into the hallway and entered the office.

The air condition had the office chill, and yet there was nothing but intense fumes between these two childhood friends.“When did you stop playing fair?” Liam inquired with bitterness in his voice.“What are you talking about?” Dax asked while blankly looking at his friend.A smirk made its way to Liam's lips as he intensely stared at Dax before resting back in his chair. Then within a split second, a frown crossed his face while his eyes burned with fury.“There was a foul play last night, and the events that took place aren't settling right with me.” Liam calmly said, yet his voice was cold.“What does that have to do with me?” Dax asked with a bit of aggression in his tone.As anger stirred within him, Liam swallowed down his frustration and kept his expression calm even though he had his fingers folded in a tight fist.“Halton hosted a party. Ali just happened to be there, so does Carmen and me. Then I get drugged and somehow end

The just-risen sun shone softly on the city streets as Carmen stared out of the car window with a frown on her lips.“Do you want me to get securities to remove them?” Dax gently asked when he noticed the frustration on her face.“No. This is exactly what our parents wanted when they released the information about our marriage to the news media a week ago. And I can continuously try to avoid those reporters, but that doesn't change the fact that we are getting married two weeks from now.” Carmen said. Even though she tried to keep her voice normal as possible, Dax could still hear the anger, sadness, and disappointment in her words.“Is this what you want?” He asked while staring straight into her eyes.There was confusion in Carmen's gaze for a second. Then she broke eye contact with him and mumbled, “What are you talking about?”“Is marrying me what you want, Carm?” Dax firmly asked.
