Liam sat on the edge of his bed, his phone clutched tightly in his hand, while a torrent of emotions churned within him. Regret weighed heavily on his conscience."Look, what we did wasn't right, Vienna, and I feel bad about it," Liam finally mustered the words, his voice tinged with guilt. "I am sorry it happened in the first place. I should have kept my shit in place."He had been thinking about the event of the previous night and he realised he had messed up.Vienna, on the other end of the call, feigned sadness, her voice carrying a tone of contrition. "It's fine, Liam. I understand. We were both carried away," she replied, her words laced with a false sense of regret. "It's all my fault, Liam. I should have knocked before coming in. I should not have barged in on you just like that." She sniffed, adding fabricated whimpers to her act."Please, Vienna. Don't cry. It's not your fault. I take the blame for everything, okay?" He ran his fingers through his head, confused about the en

She broke the silence that enveloped them by letting out a small smile. "No. He hasn't. There is no way he'd know where I stay or have my contact, right?""Yeah... That's true. But, I know how Julian can be. It was all just a mix-up... It was never my fault. He feels I betrayed him and I feel bad about that." Liam said, heaving a sigh."Can we talk about it now? I want to know what really happened. Why does he accuse you of taking me from him?" She asked."I really don't want to have that conversation, my love. All that matters is that we are together and we love each other. Just let the past be." He said, cupping her face in his palms. "Don't worry about it. I and Julian will sort each other out." He planted a kiss on her forehead."But..." She tried protesting."shhhh... Don't worry about it. We can talk about it another time. But right now, let's focus on us. I've missed you so much." Liam wasn't ready to tell Madison all that had happened then. He was scared that telling her might

Madison lay quietly on the bed, watching Liam's peaceful face while he slept. She sighed, standing up and making her way to the bathroom.She felt weak and tired from the numerous rounds they just had and she wished for more sleep, but sleep eluded her.She stared at her reflection in the mirror as he thoughts drifted away to all the things Liam had told her some hours ago. She gave it a long, hard thought and each time, a tiny part of her still yearned to give Julian listening ears.How could he? She kept asking herself that question. She broke down in tears, letting out all the hurt she felt. "How could he?" She muttered, clutching her chest tightly as she let tears flow down her cheeks.The thought of Julian abandoning her after using her was painful. The thought of him having someone else but still used her and took away her most-priced possession - her virginity - was too painful to bear. She had thought she'd giving it to someone worthy of it but she was wrong after all.She had

Madison climbed the stairs that led to Liam's room. She knew he was home because his cars were all parked outside.She had to settle this once and for all. She couldn't live her life like she was a prisoner.She pushed the door to his room open, her eyes darting around angrily until she saw him sitting at the far end of the room, operating his laptop.The sound of the door opening made him turn around to see who it was, "Oh, babe?" he called, standing up to meet her."Don't come near me!" She said angrily, making him halt immediately."What is going on, babe? Who got you this upset?" he asked so innocently with so much concern in his voice."Why, Liam? Why get a bodyguard to follow me around? What did you do that for?" she asked, crossing her arms over her chest as she waited for a response.Liam heaved a sigh of relief, "Oh, that?" he smiled. "Is that why you are this pissed? Come on, honey. It's just for your safety," he explained, maintaining his smile."Really? What makes you thin
