Liam closed his eyes, trying to fight his treacherous heart that wanted him to embrace her into his arms.“I see you're trying every way to pave your way back into my life, Kyla?” Liam asked his accusing words full of scorn.Kyla knitted her brows, not recalling any disagreement they might have had. They were both grown-ups and had a one-time thing, why was he acting so childish and rude?“I don't even know what I'm doing here," Kyla said, turning around to get out of the room.“Don't leave so soon, Kyla Leeds,” he said, addressing her with her ex-husband's surname, making her feel bile rise to her throat.“Surprised, I thought the name seemed familiar, so I did a background check on you. Imagine my shock when I found out how you cheated on your husband, seduced your boss and other despicable things,” Liam accused, finally speaking it out. When he first saw her picture, he couldn't believe it. He couldn't blame his sister's nativity for failing to see her for what she really was.“W

The atmosphere appeared too calm and the surrounding too quiet for her liking. Kyla looked at her image in the mirror as her eyes grew wide in astonishment. In just a few days, she couldn't recognize the woman who stared directly back at her. Her eyes looked distant with a cold expression that shone in them.Kyla never thought she would find herself in such a situation, she had forced Amber to leave, vowing that she was okay.The doorbell rang, pulling her out of her deep thoughts.As the door opened, she saw the last person she expected to be at her doorstep.“Aunt, what are you doing here?” Kyla asked as she noticed the tired look on her face.“I came to check up on you hunnie,” Dr. Liz replied as she forced out a tired smile.Kyla raised her brow at her, “aunt, tell me the truth, you look worried, what happened?” Dr. Liz shrugged her shoulders before chuckling at her niece's concern which reminded her of her mother.“It's nothing much, hunnie, I just got suspended, but don't worr

Tension fell in the room as Kyla lowered her pen on the papers on the table, shocking everyone. She didn't need anyone's support or mercy, since everyone appeared to want to humiliate her, then so be it. Her heart broke with every letter she signed, she couldn't look up to anyone as she splinted upstairs. She quickly got into her room, locking the door behind her as she entered the bathroom, letting the tears that had been fighting to be let out flow freely.She thought she could hear commotion downstairs, but that all seemed to disappear as her mind focused on the pain she felt in her entire body.As Liam watched Kyla run upstairs, he could have sworn he felt his heart break slightly at the shattered look on his face. “You got what you wanted, Li, now leave!” Amber shouted, tears rolling down her face as she hurt for her friend.Blake, on the other hand, bit his inner cheek, swearing as he saw his papers lie on the table with no signature on them. He still couldn't believe Kyla ch

Feeling tired and sluggish he approached the building he had neglected for quite some time. Liam entered his office after such a long time of bailing on going to work. He needed to pull himself together and face everything. An incoming call stopped him in his tracks as he recognized the caller as his top security man. “Sir, Miss Kyla and Miss Amber are nowhere to be seen,” the man reported, his voice bold with certainty in it.“What!” Liam's voice boomed through the phone in anger. “How do you tell me they are not there? Aren't you supposed to keep them safe? Where were you when they went out!” Liam fired questions endlessly as he felt his heart beat faster.“Sir, Miss Amber sent me away earlier and…”“I'm on my way!” Liam interrupted the man as he cut off the call, turning around to exit the building, his only focus on Kyla.“Sir, this came in earlier for you,” his secretary said as he handed him a sealed document.Liam took a quick glance at the document, seeing the name of the ho

Five Years Later…A mess, that was what the apartment looked like. Papers and toys appeared to be scattered at every corner of the apartment. Kyla facepalmed herself as she breathed out in frustration at the usual norm that welcomed her back almost every evening. She removed the heels she had worn, feeling her feet relax as she had been standing for a presentation for hours.“Dylan! Where are you?” She called out loudly but received no response, making her chuckle as she remembered what day it was. Of course that's why everything was scattered, it was the weekend.Life in New Jersey had been nothing short of amazing. Kyla smiled as she remembered the day she received her blessing at the hospital. It was not easy, if she were to be honest, nothing was easy for her. Yet here she was an owner of her interior designing company. It was a far more blessing than she could ever ask for.The door opened abruptly pulling her out of her thoughts. “Mommy, mommy, guess what Aunt Amber bought fo
