Roland was driving Emma to work. When they were at home, he tried convincing her to rest or call her boss, but she refused. He said nothing further and took her straight to work. Finally, he reached the company and halted his car. “We're here.” Roland smiled at her. “Oh, thank you.” Emma sighed, touching the bruised side of her lips. “Does it still hurt?” He asked worriedly.“Just a little.” She replied and pursed her lips for some seconds. “I didn't want to say anything about this, but why don't you change your account status to married? I mean your social media accounts. He might buy a sim and try searching for your name online.” Roland suggested. Emma thought about it for a while, then agreed.”Okay.” Roland smiled and brought out something from his glove box. Emma's eyes widened when she saw two rings, she wondered where got them or how long he had them. Her eyes held so many questions t

Emma saw Liam, lying motionlessly on the floor. Her eyes widened, and her heart pounded terribly in fear. She let out shuddering gasps as her feet made their way to him. She fell on her knees and turned him upwards, making him face her. Seeing his eyes closed made her more scared. Her attention got so fixed on him that she didn't notice the alcohol smell in the air.“Li…am, wake up.” an immediate sob escaped her lips, she took her hands to his face and tapped on his cheek. He let out a grunt and opened his eyes.“You scared me,” Emma sighed in relief and helped him up to a sitting position. “What happened to you? I just walked in and met you on the floor.” Liam smirked at her and as he opened his mouth to speak, she realized he was drunk. Emma shifted a little and pegged her nose for a split second. “Your breath reeks of alcohol. Why are you drinking in the office?”She looked around and finally noticed the bottle of liquor on the table. She hadn't seen it before because she was

“Why?” Emma asked, her expression changing from that of happiness to the gloom, “Why are you against it?” “I'm just looking out for you.” He responded. “You don't know how guys can be when they want to get under a lady's pants. And don’t forget he is your Boss. I mean, what happens to being professional?" “Trust me I understand you are looking out for me, but I know him. Liam would never do anything to hurt me” She retorted. “You might not believe me, but when we were in Singapore, he lost a deal worth billions for me, when a client was trying to take advantage of me. He also took a bullet for me…” She finally revealed the part of her trip which she never told him. “What? All these things happened, and you kept it to yourself?” He gasped in disbelief. “Liam wasn't sick like I told all of you. He was shot. He ran in front of me and took the bullet. He was ready to take his life for me. He did that because he loves me. I don'

“I'm so thrilled about your response. I thought you would refuse…”Liam released a nervous sigh, it was his first time asking a woman out for romantic reasons. “Why would I refuse?” Emma gasped, staring at his handsome face. He had a perfectly chiseled jaw, smooth skin, and dark eyes that pierced through her soul. Presently, those eyes were glimmering at her and she loved how they looked. She wouldn't mind staring at those eyes till the end of the earth. So, why would she miss that opportunity which is presenting itself on a platter? “I could get lost in your eyes. They look so dark and gorgeous.” Emma placed her elbows on her table and propped her chin on her hands, staring deeply into his eyes. “I thought the dark was scary, but you seem comfortable with it” Liam whispered, loving the compliment that she made. “Yeah, I am,” Emma said with a playful grin.“You also swept me off my feet and took me to a beautiful place in my mind. Why would I say no to dinner with someone who did t

Liam was in his mansion, watching the television. He was still excited about the dinner he had with Emma and couldn't go to sleep after she left. “Emma,” Liam muttered her name, he wasn't even paying attention to the show displayed on the television. He was just recalling the moments he spent with her. He wasn't able to give a nice candlelight dinner with perfect decorations, but she loved everything that he did. They ate the food that was brought a few minutes before she came. After eating, they danced to the music that she played on her phone. Liam was quite embarrassed that he didn't have any romantic songs on his phone. “That was quite mortifying.” He chuckled as he recalled that part of the date. After they danced, they sat down and began talking. Liam got to learn a little about Emma's childhood, and it didn't seem pleasant. At one point, she didn't want to talk about the past anymore, so Liam changed the topic, and they began talking about their favorite things. They talk
