“Emma,” Liam whispered and caught her wrist. He pulled her gently to himself. “They just want to ruin our night, you shouldn't let them have their way. I will handle them myself, okay?”Emma was hesitant at first, but then she understood him and decided to relent.“Alright, I'll let you handle this situation, but I don't want them in this party when I return,” Emma said, having the urge to ease herself.“I promise that they will be gone before you know it,” Liam smiled and pecked her lips.The kiss made her more relaxed, and it reassured her that she wouldn't have to see their faces when she returned.As Emma exited the sitting room, Liam went to the unwanted guests. He never wanted Mr. Crown to come, but he was acting all sick and adamant. Liam had no choice that day but to hand over the first invitation card to him.“Why did you bring her here?” Liam asked, straightforwardly.He didn't want to bicker with them, so he spoke again before either of them could respond.“I gave you the c

“My baby doesn't need your pity,” Elizabeth retorted." And to answer your stupid question, I met the gate open and I decided to let myself inside. I am certain that my actions aren't against the law, are they? Oh, great citizen!" She exclaimed, sarcastically.Emma was irritated by her, she didn't even want to see her face.“I don't care about your entry, I just want you to leave this place,” Emma commanded, her tone full of anger.Elizabeth shook her head adamantly.“I can't leave here. I have nowhere else to go. My parents aren't willing to take me back. My mother simply picked me up from prison and brought me straight to this place,”“Elizabeth, do I look like I care? I am not interested in your stories, I just need you to take your suit—” Emma abruptly paused.“Wait a minute, I'm certain that you didn't have a wardrobe in prison, so how did you get all these clothes if you didn't head to your parent's house before coming here?” Emma questioned.Elizabeth palmed her face for a secon

“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.

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.

“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
