“Liam…" Elizabeth sobbed, wetting his shirt with her tears.Liam wasn't touched by cries, but he was a bit concerned for the baby. He should have given her a hard push, but he placed his hands on her shoulders and gently pushed her away from him.“What exactly scares you in that room?” Liam asked, hardly listening to anything she had said. Elizabeth sniffed, “Whenever…I turn off the lights, I see the faces of those awful and ugly criminals. Then the memories of how they used to beat me up, from the kicks to the punches and constant bullying, everything floods into my mind all at once, and I can't take it anymore… "“But you were perfectly sitting in the dark when I met you outside,” Liam said, catching onto her lie.“Well, that place is open, and I was not trying to sleep. I tried to sleep, and it all came back to me,” Elizabeth cried.“Elizabeth, you were—” Liam was interrupted when Elizabeth hugged him again.
“Yes, she tried hitting us, but Uncle Roland stopped her,” Emerald replied, nodding her head. “Mommy, this woman is evil, what is she doing in our house?” Alden asked, displeased with her presence. “She's just going to spend some time with us, she will leave soon. Just stay away from her,” Emma said to her kids, before glaring at her stepsister. “She looks uglier than before,” Aziel commented, and his father couldn't hold back his laughter. “Hahaha!” Liam laughed and mistakenly choked on his food. “Take it easy,” Emma muttered and handed him a glass of water. She rubbed his back gently as he took sips of the water.“I'm sorry,” Liam laughed again but masked his laughter with a cough.Elizabeth felt so mortified but she kept quiet. Despite having her seat at the dining table, the smell of the food made her nauseous.“I feel like throwing up. I can't eat this,” Elizabeth said, staring at the food. “Liam,
Elizabeth walked to her parents' house instead of Liam's mansion. When she got there, her mother allowed her in, unlike the other night that she was left outside. “My sweetie,” her mother smiled, hugging her. “Mom,” Elizabeth beamed, hugging her back. “How have you been?” Mrs. Crown asked, pulling away from the hug and running her hands on her face. “You look pale and sweaty, didn't you come in the cab or something?” Elizabeth exhaled tiredly before letting out a sob. “ Emma has been making my life miserable since last night. First, she kicked me out of Liam's house then she ruined my opportunity to sleep in Liam's room and today, she also volunteered to take me to a restaurant, so I wouldn't spend time with Liam,"Mrs. Crown was extremely unhappy with her daughter's state. She thought that Elizabeth's life would get better, but she was wrong. “Is she living in Liam's house?” Mrs. Crown gasped, unaware of the change.
“I can't lose my baby,” Elizabeth cried, her voice filled with anguish. “My baby,”Emma was scared when she saw the blood, realizing the severity of the situation. She hadn't intended to harm her step-sister so severely. “Let me help you,” Emma offered, reaching out to assist Elizabeth from the floor. “Don't touch me,” Elizabeth cried, causing Emma to flinch. “This is all your fault. If anything happens to my baby then, I will kill you!”“It hurt so much,” She bemoaned, clutching her stomach in pain. “I'll call an ambulance,” Emma muttered, retrieving her bag that had slipped to the floor. As Liam returned home, he was drawn by the cries of Elizabeth, and he hurried upstairs to find out what was happening. “What's going on here?” Liam asked, his concern evident as he knelt beside Elizabeth. “What's wrong?” “Our baby,” Elizabeth sobbed, revealing the blood to him. Liam gasped, then turned to
“My fiancé hasn't committed any crime, especially not homicide,” Liam uttered, stepping in front of Emma.“I never mentioned only homicide. I said it was attempted, and we are here to arrest her to prevent an actual murder from taking place,” the officer said and brought out his handcuffs. Seeing those handcuffs brought bad memories to Liam. He would rather not see that thing on his fiancé's wrists. “Officers, I didn't do anything. I didn't try killing anyone,” Emma panicked, defending herself from the false accusation.“Can you stop lying?” Mrs. Crown shouted, pointing angrily at Emma. “You tried killing my daughter's baby because of your anger and jealousy towards her!”Emma gasped in disbelief, she didn't anticipate this terrible situation, she had found herself. She never imagined that Elizabeth and her mother would try turning the table so horribly on her.“I wasn't jealous of anyone!” Emma scowled, rage pumping in her vei
“Yes”...... Emma said with her head down in confusion but immediately Emma lifted her head and screamed, “It was an accident and nothing more. How can you term it homicide like I pointed a knife to his throat, or I shot her with a gun? It was just a little push and why aren't you talking about the fact that she had initiated the accident?” Emma asked, her voice full of her desperation to have freedom. “The miscarriage might have also been caused by the time she spent in prison and the stress she went through,” Emma added. “You truly have a way with words, you're calculative and quite intelligent. But you can't outsmart me. You are forgetting the fact that you have reasons to harm her.”“A woman came into your perfect home with a pregnancy that could belong to your husband as I was told by her mother. It's only logical for you to feel threatened and react vindictively,” the officer uttered, trying to make her slip up and admit to a cri
“Sir, release her now,” An officer commanded. “You better stay out of this. This is a family issue,” Liam growled and resumed dragging her towards his car. “Mr. Liam, If you take one more step, then I will have no other choice than to throw you behind bars,” the officer threatened, his voice firm. Liam halted, knowing it wouldn't be wise to be imprisoned as well. He had to help Emma out of this ordeal, and he wouldn't be able to help her if he was behind bars. Liam glared hatefully at Elizabeth and released her arm. Elizabeth hurried away from him and went back into the station to properly press charges against Emma. Dammit," Liam muttered, following her into the station. He watched everything play before his eyes and was unable to prevent it. He discussed with his lawyer on a way forward, but his lawyer didn't have anything positive to say. He only urged Liam to plead with Elizabeth, so she could drop t
The one who initiated the escape plans, let out a mocking laugh. He scrutinized Alex and was quite disappointed by his physique. He didn't think that Alex would be useful to his plans either.He already had someone to distract the wardens and adding an extra person could disrupt their plans or ruin their escape plans.“No, you can't join us,” He said and turned to the others.Alex was stunned by how he rejected him. 'Why did he reject me? Who does he think he is?' Alex thought, boiling in anger. 'I should go tell the wardens about their plans then let's see how they will escape,' He thought and wanted to turn on his heels, but then he changed his mind. He knew that they would kill him, if he dared to spill the beans. He wasn't ready to die yet, so he had to think of an idea, which would prove useful to them.“Your plan won't work, if you use just a fire outbreak scheme,” Alex suddenly said.The leader of the escape plans called Dimitrus, looked at him angrily, “I already said that
