Carmen ran into her room and slammed the door behind her. She then rested her back against the door and wept bitterly till her vision got dim because of the tears in her eyes. She tried to suppress the suffocating feeling in her chest, but it only got stronger by the second. None of this was what she wanted in a marriage. All she desired was to marry a man that loves her, so why is she being punished for falling in love and following her heart? "This is so unfair," she mumbled. Carmen did not know how long she had been crying until she heard a bang on her door. “You have two minutes left!” Liam shouted with force in his voice. However, beneath the surface of Liam's icy attitude, he felt a bit of pity towards Carmen when he heard her soft cry. “I will soon be out,” Carmen replied while trying to keep her voice stable. 

When Freddie stopped the car, Carmen woke up from her nap, looked out the window, and realized that they were not at a shopping mall but Davis' company. “What are we doing here? I thought we were going shopping.” Carmen asked. She faced Liam but quickly looked away when she saw the furious expression on his face after her question. “I am not a less busy person, and I have a job to do. When I fulfilled my work schedule for today, then we can go do your stupid stuff.” Liam answered. 'Do you have to humiliate me? You know that I worked at my father's company before I married you. The only reason I quit my job was that my dad believed that a married woman's only purpose was to serve her husband, and I can only work if you want me to do so.' Carmen thought. However, these were words she could only say in her mind because Liam seem already angry, and she deemed

It was exactly nine on the dot when Liam heard a knock on his door. He did not bother to respond since the office door had been open, and his mother had entered his office.  "When I called Jerry, and he said that he was still at the office, I knew you would also be here too. Why are you still at the company at this hour?" Lina scolded her son. "What do you want, mother?" Liam asked without staring up at Lina. "I was checking with Jerry about things at the company, and that's when I found out that you were still in the building." "I will ask you again. What do you want?" Lina scowled at her son's outrageous behavior toward her, but his attitude did not come as a surprise since they did not have the best mother and son bond. "Did Carmen inform you about tomorrow?" Lina asked. "It was you who pushed her to remind me about your stupid in

The study's door shut, and Liam felt like he was standing in the presence of two angry lions that couldn't wait to devour him, but this was not a strange feeling because it had been like this since his father brought him and his mother to the mansion. "You ungrateful brat! You are just a bastard! How dare you put up an attitude in my presence?" Anthony shouted while he waved his hand in front of Liam's face out of anger. Liam did not move a muscle as he gazed at his grandpa with no care, nor did he seem sorry about a thing. Instead, his stare was as cold as the first of December in winter. "I spoke the truth. Why are you guys mad? Are you all afraid that Carmen will leave me, and you both will lose your connection with Carmen's family wealth? Ha! How pathetic." Liam mockingly stated. "What do you mean, you bastard?!" Levi screamed in a rage. Liam frowned when he heard the word 'b

Carmen walked into Liam's office with fear in her heart. But she didn't have the guts to show it on her face.Once Carmen closed the door behind her, she waited for a minute before walking closer towards Liam.As he sat down behind his desk, he didn't show any emotions on his face. So it was difficult for Carmen to tell what he was thinking.But somehow she felt as though he was pretty mad, and she didn't know if it was because he was jealous or it was his pride.“Start talking.” Liam calmly said.However, the way he spoke gave Carmen a clear picture of how he felt, and in that instant, she wished that she didn't walk into that office with him.“I don't know what you mean.” Carmen softly said.She knew that she did nothing wrong. But the expression on Liam's face made her feel guilty for a crime that doesn't exist.“Haha! You are really a tramp.” Li
