The car headed towards the building where they were going to meet the investors and have the meeting. They were still oblivious to the strange car following them. Emma was busy looking through the window, staring at the beauties of the place. “I haven't seen this town enough, I would like to visit some nice spots in this country, wouldn't that be a good idea?” Emma asked, glancing at Liam. “Yes, it would. We might use the internet and GPS to fulfill that mission. This isn't my first time being in Singapore, but I didn't come to the woodlands, I spent time in Yi shun.” Liam responded, beaming at her. He always maintained that smile on her lips to make her feel good and comfortable. If only he knew how handsome wearing a smile. To her, he was cheerful and alluring. “That's awesome, you've been to so many places. When I was younger, I wasn't allowed to travel or even leave the house. I think I was an introvert at that ti
“Liam!!!” Emma screamed again, tears instantly brimming in her eyes and spilling out. She fell to her knees and touched his back, blood stained her hand and she trembled in more fear. “Someone help!” Emma cried out, she looked at his face, but he was unconscious, and that scared her more. Her body was shuddering, everything felt like a terrible nightmare to her. She still couldn't believe that he got shot. She was in denial for a few seconds before screaming for help again. As she kept screaming, the person who had shot Liam, jumped down from the tree and took off. He went away before people could gather around Emma and call the ambulance. When he got away, he got into his car and drove a few meters away from the park. Once he was far enough, he brought the car to a halt and removed the mask on his face. He wasn't wearing the mask when he entered the pack, but he wanted to shoot, he wore it. He took advanta
Singapore. Woodlands. “The doctor said that you'll have to use a wheelchair for now until your wounds are fully healed, then when you return home, you can walk on your own,” Emma said, explaining why the nurse brought a wheelchair for him. “Alright,” Liam responded, and he was helped by the nurse. He sat in the wheelchair and was pushed to the bathroom. Once he was done in there, he sat back in the wheelchair and rolled it outside by himself. He was assisted back on the bed, still connected to the drip that was passing some drugs into his system. “Do you feel any pain?” the nurse asked. “Not any that I haven't been feeling since the anesthesia wore off. But I'm fine; there's nothing to worry about.” Liam replied. The nurse nodded and exited the room. Liam looked at Emma and noticed that she had spaced out. He snapped his fingers close to her face and she flinched. “You startled
Liam was in his room, putting his things one after the other into his suitcase. He didn't bring many clothes because he wasn't supposed to spend so long in Singapore. He and Emma were preparing to leave because nothing was keeping them back in Singapore. They had no business deal to attain, and Liam had fully recovered. It was time to go. Once Liam was done gathering his things into his suitcase, he zipped it up and took his jacket from the bed. He wore it and grabbed his phone next. As he took the suitcase from the bed to the floor, his phone rang. He checked the caller, and it turned out to be one of those investors whom he abandoned. With a frown on his face, he declined the call and headed out of the room. As he was three steps away from the door, the person called again, and he decided to block his number but on second thought, he answered the call.'What do you want?' He asked straightforwardly, not hiding the displeasure i
The triplets were in their classes, drawing on their sketchbooks. They were given the task of drawing their family. All the kids were busy, especially Emerald who was drawing with all seriousness, it seemed like she loved drawing. Her teacher noticed her concentration; she wasn't talking like other kids or turning left and right to check what her classmates were doing. This made the teacher walk to her and check her drawing.“Wow, your drawing is beautiful, especially that of your mom. I'm amazed.” the teacher said, maintaining a smile on her lips. “Really? You think it's good?” Emerald looked up at her teacher with a dazzling smile on her lips. “Yes, it's good. You're just five, and I expected you to draw something more childish, but this is a nice try.” The teacher complimented her. “Keep it up!” Emerald squealed, feeling excited about her teacher's praises. She glanced at her brothers. Alden
Emma gripped his hand, trying to push him away, but to her dismay, he quickly climbed on her, grabbed her hands, and pinned them above her head.Her legs were trapped, her hands were held, and her struggle slowly ended. The drug was taking its effect as it waffled more and more into her nostrils. She tried wriggling her hands from his grip, but it was impossible. She drifted off to sleep and her eyes closed. Alex saw this and smirked. He removed the handkerchief from her face and kept it back in his pocket, he released her hands and came off her. As he lowered himself, to carry her into his arms. He received an instant headbutt, then a hard push to the floor. It was so unexpected. Emma snorted and gave her nostrils a quick wipe. Hastily, she climbed off the bed and tried running off, but Alex put forth his foot, causing her to trip. “Ah!” Emma moaned in pain. Her heart was pounding in fear as her body hit the floor. She tried standing up, but a pair of hands grabbed her ankle and
Emma was stunned by his request, but she thought he was joking and wanted to lighten up her mood, so she laughed about it. “Roland, seriously, there are other jokes out there. Is that the best you could come up with?” She chuckled, shaking her head in disbelief. Roland was quite upset that she thought he could joke about something like that. “I'm not joking, I want you to marry me,” Roland said more seriously. This was the best moment to tell her about his feelings, but she might think he's crazy and reject his proposal. Emma shifted uncomfortably and stared at him intently. “Why would I want to marry you? Roland, you're my best friend and I never thought you could think this way. How is a marriage proposal going to solve the constant attacks from Alex?” “Emma, he was able to take out two trained bodyguards, and that frightened me,” Roland explained. “But he couldn't take me down. I was able to put up a good fight
Roland was so happy that she agreed. This was the opportunity that he had been seeking for so long. He would use the pretext of the marriage to get much closer to her. He would treat her like the queen that she was and take advantage of being her husband to do things that he wouldn't dare do as her friend. His heart swelled in his chest and his face was filled with excitement. He couldn't hold back the smile of delight that appeared on his lips. “What changed your mind?” Roland asked but scolded himself after asking that kind of question. He didn't want her to become doubtful again. Emma lowered her gaze and replied. “Because I trust you and I think that you know the best way to protect me. I've tried to protect myself and my kids from Alex, but I've failed. So, all I can do now is depend on you.” Roland smiled and walked closer to her. His hands gripped her arms, and he pulled her to himself, hugging her tightly. “I'm glad that you accepted,” Roland said, his heart fluttering.
