CHAPTER 1

EMILY POV

My hair felt like they'll be torn apart from my body.

Tears filled in my eyes and my visioned blurred. I begged her to stop but she didn't listen. My ears hurt from her screaming. and my heart wouldn't stop beating so much.

I looked up in pain and cried out loud because I was scared.

Tanya was pulling my hair in anger and dragging me across the house roaring"Because of you my boyfriend broke up with me. My 3 years of relationship is over because of you. You bitch!!!! You should be thrown in a strip club and be raped by men every single day!!!".

Sadly, she was my cousin.

She held me up against the wall and wrapped her hand around my neck. Making me choke. I cried in pain as I couldn't breathe. She was stronger than me.

Melissa came behind her and in a calm voice she said: "What are u doing, Tanya?". She spoke like that seeing her daughter choking me meant nothing. Tanya answered, "My boyfriend broke up with me because of her".

She let me go and I dropped on the floor breathing for air. She roared"He broke up with me because he saw her. He told me that Emily is more beautiful and hotter than me. He moaned Emily's name when we had sex!"

She turned around to look at me and pulled my hair causing me to stand up. My tears wouldn't stop falling.

She screamed, "You will pay for this, Emily!" She slapped me across my face. And screamed again"It's all because of your pathetic face. Wait till they see how ugly you can be!"

She started tearing up the long simple dress that I had worn to cover my body. She revealed the marks that they all gave me and said"Wait till a man sees what's behind this long-ass dress. He'll kill you for being so ugly!"

I cried trying to get out from her stronghold around my neck. I begged, "I'm sorry!"

Even though it wasn't my fault. I only met the guy once but even if it's not my fault, I have to apologize. Because if I don't, they will get angrier.

I said, "I'm so sorry!" And she pushed me on the floor.

I looked down at purple heels rapping on the floor.

I looked up, my anxiety was on level 8 out of 10. I was shivering with fear and horror.

I saw Melissa standing there with her hands on her hips. She said, "Get up!"

I slowly got up and she slapped me for no reason. She said"This is all your fault. Everything you do is your fault! Your parents died because of you!"

This was my mental torture. Because I couldn't forget them from my head. Their dead bodies were imprinted in my mind.

Maybe they're right. I did kill them.

Tanya grabbed me and pushed me up against the wall, grabbing my neck and choking me again. Her pretty brown eyes were filled with anger and frustration. I begged for her to let me go because I couldn't breathe.

It was getting harder and harder to breathe that I was sure my face was turning purple.

And then God sends my Angel, Curtis.

He came running and pulled Tanya away from me. He pushed me behind me and said"Stop it! Stop hitting her or I'll hit u". Tanya was scared of Curtis and her mother too. He was arrogant and rude but for me, he was always polite. He loved me like a little sister and I loved him like my big brother that I never had. He gave me his handkerchief to wipe the blood on my lips that were caused by Tanya slapping me non stop.

THIRD PERSON POV

Emily was scared of everyone in the house. Except for Curtis.

She wiped her blood as Tanya screamed in anger"Why do u always save her? She's not worthy of your sympathy! I want to kill her!!!". She tried to attack me again but Curtis stopped and roared"Enough!!! Don't u dare take another step towards her!"

They both stopped. He held me and took me to my room upstairs.

If you call a room with an old broken bed and windows a room, then it's my room.

While everyone gets to live in lavish rooms, I live in a room with a broken bed, cracked walls and boarded up French windows.

No heater, no cooler and no protection from rain or snow.

Curtis did help me make it a little worth living in. Like a small chest draw. Bedsheets. Fairy lights wrapped up on my bed. A 37-inch tv that he bought for me with his Netflix password.

But David broke that too.

Curtis placed me lightly on my bed. Careful to not hurt me. I lied down and felt exhausted. My head hurt. My nose was bleeding. My body was numb.

He went into the bathroom and took out a first aid kit.

He gave me an aspirin then cleaned my blood.

He kept repeating"I'm sorry, I wasn't home early". I held his hand and said"It's okay. It's not your fault. I'm used to this"

He looked at me and then got up. He bought me my long oversized shirt.

He kept it beside me and turned around.

I took off the ripped apart dress and wore the shirt. I said, "You can turn around."

He turned around and put my old duvet on me. He kissed my forehead and said"Sleep, okay? I'll come to check up on you later." I smiled at him and looked at him as he left.

I don't know when I fell asleep.

Nightmares flood my dreams like rain and hurricane on a beautiful sunny day.

Before sleeping every night I ask myself:

Why did I have to live this life?

Did I do something to piss God off that he chose to punish me like this?

Why don't I just end everything once and for all?

To be continued.....

CHAPTER 2

I couldn't move nor I couldn't cry.

Skin slapping with mine.

Tears rolled down my cheek. But I couldn't make a sound.

Was I dreaming about sleep paralysis?

I could feel the cold breeze on my bare skin. I was naked. I was moving.

But how?

My body was moving up and down. My head slightly tapped the headboard above. The sound of skin slapping and the springs of mattress was all I could hear.

The smell of sweat and something butter was in the air.

Something familiar.

I felt a pinch between my legs.

What is happening?

Why was my body moving up and down? I tried to look but something was holding my head down. The room was dark. A silhouette came above me.

A man?

But who?

He came closer to my face but I still couldn't see him. I felt warm breaths on my ear that made me feel disgusted. Like spider crawling up on my body.

"I love it when I fuck you when you've paralyzed" my eyes shot wide. I know that voice all too well.

David!

I felt both of my legs up in the air. Legs far apart from each other.

That's when the pain stung. The sound of panting and groaning.

What's going on?!

Finally, after trying, I could move my head up a little but at the same time, my stomach knotted. Pain between my thighs. Pain in my core. I screamed. So much pain.

I saw David between my legs. Thrusting in me harder and harder.

Naked, I was naked. He was too. He kept groaning my name. As he worked his pace faster and faster. I screamed in fear. But he didn't stop. I begged him"Please stop. Please!". But he ignored. He kept thrusting me again and again and again and again and again.

He said, "Release". I shook my head. He again said, "Emily, release". I shook my head hard again. I focused on not letting him win this time. He thrust harder making the whole bed move.

His thrusts were harder that I cried in pain and for help. But no one listened.

He clenched my hair on top of my head. And screamed on my face. His face red. The thin cold silver chain around his neck coming in contact with my chest.

He screamed"Fucking release!". He pulled my hair as I cried and released. Scared.

One more thrust and he groaned in so much pleasure. I felt something warm inside of me. I hated it. I cried because I hated it.

He said, "That wasn't so fucking hard, was it?".

He let go of my head and said: "Don't forget to change your sheets".

He got up from me and left my room.

Slowly I could feel the pain he put me through making me scream and cry.

I lied in a fetal position. Crying hard.

Nobody heard me.

I looked down between my legs and there was a huge patch of wetness. My wetness. I touched it and it was so wet and slimy.

It came from me.

Inside of me.

I did that.

He raped me again. Like he always does.

Every time I see this dream, I try to win but he makes me do it.

I held myself screaming out loud.

I cried"WHY?! WHY ME?! WHY ME?!"

I felt my body shaking. Not in fear. Like someone was trying to wake me up.

"Emily! Wake up!"

Curtis?

Then I hear him again "Emily!"

I looked around but I don't know where that voice came from.

I woke up and I see Curtis sitting on my bed, my tiny wrists in his big hands.

He pulled me up and hugged me. I tried to breathe but I couldn't. I was shivering.

I get panic attacks.

I tried to say"C-can't b-brea.." He held my face and said"It was just a nightmare. It's not real. A nightmare. Nothing more. I'm here. I'm with you. No one is here except me and you".

I had extreme anxiety attacks whenever I'm nervous or anything like that. Never been to the hospital because David won't allow me. So Curtis helps me.

"Breathe, Emily."

I breathed in and out my mouth and he did it with me to calm me down.

When I was finally able to breathe normally, he sighed.

I asked, "How'd you know?" He looked at my side table and there was a camera. A baby camera.

He sleeps one room away from me. I have a baby camera in my room that is always turned on. And the monitor in Curtis' room, so he could always check up on me.

I finally breathed and broke down crying. He held me again and I cried to control the streaming tears.

We lied down together and he took me in his arms. Comforting me. And whispering to me"Nobody's gonna hurt you now. You're safe".

And sleep took over me.

THIRD PERSON POV

She woke up early in the morning, finding Curtis gone. A note on her side table and a glass of water.

The note said: ' Drink this water and take a shower. I'm at work but I will be bringing you new clothes and then we'll go out to have lunch when I come back ;)'

She could always count on him to make her smile.

She drank the water and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

A towel wrapped around her when she came out and David was waiting for her on her bed. Looking around.

He looked at her and gave her a sadistic smile. He then looked at her body and his green eyes were darker. She was only wearing a towel and held on it as her life depended on it.

He walked towards her but before she could go in the bathroom, he held her and pinned her against the wall.

She began sobbing. She could feel his hardness against her stomach.

He said"Listen carefully. We're having guests for dinner today. Very important ones. You'll attend the dinner and be quiet all the time like a good girl. You won't speak until you're spoken too. You won't look at anyone at all. Understand?"

"U-Understood, master"

The rapist of her dreams was her uncle.

(Note: Melissa is the sister of Emily's father. And David is her husband)

He nuzzled his nose in her neck and smelled the scent of her rose body soap like a sadist would.

He whispered in her ear"If I didn't have anything important right now, I would've taken you right on this wall. I need to go. But soon...soon I'll take you when no one will hear you scream ever"

She was shivering and trying to control her cries. He lightly pecked her cheek and went out.

She ran in the bathroom to throw up all the water in her stomach. Food wasn't much given to her.

••••••••••••••••••••••••

Emily was a great cook. She was the maid, chef, dog and a punching bag in this house.

She made dinner for the guests that will be arriving soon.

Everyone loved her food but no one appreciated it. Except for Curtis.

She set everything in this big mansion house for the guests. It was a candlelight dinner kind of.

The doorbell rang.

Emily tried to get out of the kitchen to open the door but Melissa beat her to it and said: "Get inside now!"

Emily walked into the kitchen and Melissa ran to the door.

As soon as she opened the door, there was a really handsome man with blue eyes standing beside a really old lady.

Melissa smiled and said"Please, come in. It's really nice to meet you. Liam and Mrs. Knight."

The old lady smiled at Melissa but Liam just looked around her house.

Liam was a gorgeous blue-eyed and jet black-haired tycoon.

He knew he was beautiful. The whole New York knew.

But he was arrogant and rude.

Once Melissa had greeted Liam and his grandmother, she seated them on the couch. Talking and laughing.

Emily didn't know what was going on she was still in the kitchen.

Curtis came into the kitchen wearing a full black suit and a smile. He exclaimed, "This smells good".

Emily smiled at him and held up a dish in front of him. He gasped"Is that a Sheppard pie?". She nodded and answered" I made two. The other one you can eat alone tonight".

"You are the best!"

He quickly hugged Emily and said"The guests are here. We should go". She nodded

Curtis was a handsome man. But a perfect human being too. He had a heart while the others didn't.

He even helped Emily in setting the tables.

After they were done, they all went to the living room, where they all were.

Curtis held Emily's hand and they went inside.

David wrapped an arm around her shoulder with a smile. She pulled her hand away from Curtis.

David said, "Mrs. Knight, this is my niece, Emily". Emily looked at the two figures sitting on the couch.

She lightly gasped when she looked at Liam Knight. He was the most beautiful man she had ever seen.

He wore a blue shirt with the sleeves folded up to his elbows. His jet black hair set perfectly. Cleaned shaved. His light blue eyes burning her. He flashed a smile towards her and she felt week at her knees.

Liam found her really attractive too. But not in an innocent way.

An older person hugged Emily.

Emily hugged her back. She was an old short lady. With the same eye color as Liam.

David introduced"Emily this is Mrs. Regina Knight. Liam's grandmother. Liam's father used to work with me and your father before you were born".

David was treating her like he actually cared about her as his daughter but we all knew that he was good at acting. Really good. An Oscar-winning good performance.

Emily sat beside Curtis.

Liam had her eyes on her the whole time. She was beautiful no doubt in that.

He noticed every little thing about her. Her brown eyes. Her long brown hair that reached to her waist. The way she sat with her crossed a leg over the other.

He noticed how smooth were her legs as she wore a black below the knee dress.

But sadly he didn't know that David made her wore Tanyas dress so they wouldn't think about what they do to her.

They even forced to cover up her bruises with loads of makeup.

After a while talking, they moved on to dinner.

Regina sat at the head seat of the table. On her ride was Curtis, Emily, and David. On her left was Melissa, Liam, and Tanya.

Emily kept her head down as she eats her food. Regina exclaimed, "This is the most delicious thing I've eaten".

Before Curtis could answer, Melissa said"Thank you, Tanya made it. She made everything".

Tanya latched herself to Liam like a bug. She was touching his shoulders, talking to him and you could clearly see that Liam was not interested at all.

He had his eyes on Emily and she was not comfortable with it. Her anxiety taking the best of her. She held Curtis' hand under the table just to keep her sane before she breaks down crying or runs out of there.

Dinner was over and they moved to the living room again.

Tanya and Liam were sitting together on the same couch.

Emily noticed Tanya sometimes putting her had on his thigh or his chest or his arms.

But Emily didn't care. David looked at Emily and said with a smile"Why don't you go and get everyone some Sherry?" She nodded her head and went up to the little bar they had.

She filled 6 glasses of Sherry for everyone but herself.

She walked to them with a tray in her hand. She first serves to Regina because she was older.

Regina took the glass with a smile and said"Such a pretty girl." Emily smiled at her and served Melissa that was sitting next to Regina.

Melissa took the glass and smiled"Serves well.... my child."

Her anxiety peaking again. She served David and Curtis his glass too.

When it came time to give the last two glasses to Tanya and Liam, she bent down to give Liam his drink. Tanya saw Liam gazing at her.

On purpose, she spilled the drink on Emily's dress and said"Oops, Sorry, Em. I'm a klutz".

Liam looked down at her dress and her anxiety was on the highest.

Curtis got up quickly and took the tray from Emily before she drops it on the floor and said"Why don't you change. I'll serve." She smiled at them all and walked upstairs.

She reached her room and broke down crying. Not because of just a spilled drink on her dress. Because of the anxiety, she was in all day.

She had enough of everything.

She changed into her nightclothes and lied on her bed. Resting. Exhausted.

Her eyes began to close and sleep took over her with only Liam in her mind.

The way he gazed at her, she did not like it.

CHAPTER 3

Melissa was beating up Emily again because she didn't like the way Liam stared at her.

She pulled her hair that made Emily scream and said"Whore, you tried to steal the spotlight from my daughter. You Bitch! After everything we have done for you, you pay us like that?! This is how you treat your own cousin!"

Tanya slapped Emily right across her left cheek and said"Liam Knight is mine. MINE! You already took away my other boyfriend from me. If I hear your name once from his mouth, I will fucking end you"

Sadly Curtis wasn't around to protect her.

David came inside the room and said: "What the hell is going on?"

Everyone stopped. Tanya explained everything to him and said"Liam Knight was looking at her all day. Just her. I worked hard to get his attention but he could take his eyes off of that whore!" She wrapped her arms against her chest in anger.

David said"You will get your revenge.... soon but not today, princess... And I need u to lent a dress of yours to Emily and cover all her bruises"

Melissa asked, "Why?" Tanya looked at Emily disgusted and said:" Why should I give my pretty and expensive dresses to her?!"

David held the bridge of his nose and said"Because we're going to a charity ball held by Harvey Ross. And Knight will be there. I need that company deal."

Harvey Ross was a great judge. A millionaire actually. He had his own firm and he was the best friend to Emily's father. He had no one. No wife. No kids. He loved Emily like a daughter.

After her parents' death, he wanted to adopt Emily as his daughter but David didn't let that happen. Emily's father was a successful man and her mother was successful too.

They were both the owner of Parker incorporations. And her mother was the owner of Parker charity for abandoned kids. They were good people.

Both of their wills indicated Emily to be the next owner of the company and charity.

But they were killed when Emily was only 15. David and Melissa adopted her so when she would turn 18 she could sign the company papers over to David. Making him the owner of every wealth and fortune that her parents built by hard work.

David continued"I don't want Harvey Ross to suspect anything. That's why princess. I'll buy you more new clothes. Expensive and branded ones like Versace or Gucci." Tanya was a greedy woman. She said"Fine. I'll just burn the dress after she wears it".

Emily wore a beautiful sleeveless red dress that reached below her knees and hugged her curves perfectly.

A soft makeup on her face. Enhancing her beauty more. Her hair in a loser updo, her brown hair strands framing her face.

When she came out of the room Curtis jaw dropped in the perfect shape of O. He smiled at her and she smiled back.

Melissa and Tanya looked at her in hatred. And David looked at her like he wanted to jump her bones and rip it off.

He cleared his throat and said, "Let's go". Curtis stopped and said, "I'll drive Emily in my car and all of u can go with the driver". David didn't care and he walked out. Emily whispered, "Thank You". He smiled back.

As they were both in the car. Curtis looked at her and asked, "You okay, Emily?". She shook her head no and said"I don't know. When will this torture end?".

"Soon. I promise. When I'll be the CEO of Parker Incorporations, I promise to give it all back to u and I will take u away from here to let u start a new life."

Emily was an educated woman. Because of Curtis. He was the one that fought for her every time.

Fought for her school, college, and university. And she thanked him every step of it. They only thing he couldn't do was take her away from everyone. He couldn't because he was trapped by David too.

When they reached the party, Curtis took Emily inside while her hand grabbed his arms tightly.

As she entered everyone turned their heads and looked at her. She was beautiful no doubt in that. And those staring eyes made her anxious that he grabbed Curtis' arm tighter. He whispered to her"It's okay. I'm with you." And he was with her every second.

Liam looked at her at the opposite of the room all day. Harvey Ross whispered in his ear"Let go. She won't fall into your trap. She's not like those other whores you have in your bed every night."

Liam looked at Harvey and smiled"I'll have her tonight. Every girl turns into a whore for me."

"You'll end up getting slapped by her."

"Wanna bet, Ross?"

"No need, Knight. You'll loose already"

"I won't"

"Good luck"

Emily and Liam were talking to each other. David interrupted them and said, "Curtis go meet people."

He looked at Emily and she nodded at Curtis. David bent down to her and said"Now you smile and act like everything in your life is perfect. Harvey is looking for you."

He took her hand forcefully and wrapped it across his arm. Causing pain in her fingers but she masked her face with a fake bright smile.

Harvey walked to them and hugged Emily. He was an old man. But a handsome one too. He had a pure soft heart.

He said, "How are you, my daughter". She smiled and said, "I'm really good."

"It's been years since I've seen u. You've grown into a perfect young woman. Your parents would be so proud"

"Thank u"

It felt a knife was twisting in her heart but she still remained silent.

Harvey looked at David and said"Come, I want u to meet some other people. Leave her here. There are so many young men staring at her." He looked at Emily with a smile and teased "I'm sure some of them would want you to dance with them". He chuckled.

David looked at her and whispered"Be a good girl and DO NOT embarrass me. Understand?". She nodded quick and said"Understood."

David went on with Harvey and left her behind.

She walked around looking at how happy and alive people were.

Tanya was standing in the middle of 4 men. Emily passed through them without noticing them. All of their heads turned at her. They were mesmerized by how beautiful Emily was. One of them asked, "Who is she?". Tanya refused to answer.

As Emily walked around she instantly ran into a men's chest. Before she could fall he wrapped his arms arm around her. She looked at up and it was Liam Knight. She looked at Tanya as she stared at her in anger.

She instantly removed his arms from around her waist and looked up at him. He smiled at her seductively and she kept looking at him.

Tanya interrupted the moment between them instantly and said to her"Aren't u a clumsy sister?"

She was being nice to her. She looked at Liam and smiled at him. Batting her fake eyelashes at him. Emily looked scared. Tanya introduced herself"I'm Tanya Parker. But we already met last night". Liam held her hand and kissed the back of it but his gaze never leaving Emily. And he said"I'm Liam Knight. We already met too"

He stared Emily up and down. Making her uncomfortable. But not once he looked at Tanya. She lightly pushed Emily so she can stand in front of him as she was getting jealous and no attention from him. But he didn't care. His gaze was fixed. He held out his hand to Emily and asked: "Care to dance with me?" Tanya looked at her. Pressurizing her to say no. But she kept quiet.

He lightly took Emily's hand in his and wrapped his other hand around her waist and guided her to the dance floor.

He still smiled and lightly pulled her closer to himself and began swaying to the music.

Her small yet gorgeous hand in his and his hand around her waist.

With every step, he kept pulling her closer. He asked, "What's your name, beautiful?" She stuttered"E-Emily. Emily Parker." He again asked"Tanya's sister?" She nodded.

She didn't like the way his hands caressed her back. But still, she kept quiet. Not even a minute passed he said"Emily, would u like to be mine for the night?" Her eyes widened. But he again said, "I have a room in this hotel and a bed, on which you would look lovely in it."

She tried to push him away but he was stronger. When she finally freed herself. She slapped him right across his face. Hard that a thud noise was heard. Some of the people stared at them both. Liam was angry and said"Do u know who I am? I can ruin you, Emily Parker. And I will ruin you."

She ran from there in tears and Curtis followed her. He stopped her and asked"What happened? Why did u slap Liam Knight?" While crying she said, "Because he tried to get me to sleep with him". Curtis wrapped his arms around her and she cried on his chest. He said, "Let's go home before father comes."

But going home, he knew was dangerous. David saw what she did.

Instead of taking her home, Curtis took her to a drive-through fast food because she hadn't eaten anything since morning. Her favorite food was burgers and milkshakes. He took her to in and out burgers and told her to wait in the car. When he came back she was crying in the car. He got in and said, "Why are u crying?". She looked at him and said"I know David saw me slapping that man. And I'm scared that he won't let me go tonight. He won't stop hitting me in anger." He calmed down and said"That's why I'm not taking u home for the day. After eating we're going to the company and u will sleep in my office tonight. Just until fathers anger cools down, okay?"

She nodded and wiped her tears. As she ate the food, he looked at her and smiled. He said, "And by the way, I think u did well by hitting him." He encouraged her.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

After being slapped by Emily, Liam rushed out and called his privates investigator, Elijah.

Elijah picked up the phone and said"I can't believe that Liam Knight is calling me today. I think I'm dreaming."

Elijah was Liam's friend and he knew Liam since they were 18. He was friends with him and as well as his P.I. Liam got every little information from him.

Either, it was information about his partners so Liam could manipulate them into signing a deal with them. Or it was about girls that Liam wanted to sleep with.

Elijah said asked, "What can I do for u today?"

"I want u to find about everything about a girl named Emily Parker. Every single thing. Her background. Parents. Company. What does she do or likes? Anything and everything."

"I know Emily a little."

"U do?"

The valet bought his car and he passed the valet a 100 dollar bill.

Liam sat in his car and said: "What do you know about them?"

"It's my job to keep track of rich folks."

"So tell me all you know."

"Emily Parker. She's the daughter of Eva and Enzo Parker."

Liam furrowed his brows and asked, "Didn't they die 10 years ago?"

"They did. And then she was adopted by her aunt. His fathers' sister, Melissa Parker."

"Anything else?"

"This is the only information I know. I'll tell u more when I find more."

"Hurry. I need everything by midnight."

"Right on it, boss man!"

Liam drove to his house.

His house was a Mansion. A 4 floored Mansion.

He drove there. His night already ruined by Emily.

He kept thinking to himself.

How could she just slap me in front of the whole crowd? Embarrass me like that?! Oh, Emily Parker, you're dead meat!

Liam lives in San Francisco but he came to New York to care for business.

The only near and dear to him was his grandmother. His parents were only legally married. There was no love between and they never had time for Liam since he was a baby.

His father lived at the end of the globe and his mother to the other end.

He was mostly raised by his grandmother, Regina Knight. Who still had the authority over everything the Knights owned.

He went inside the Mansion throwing his car keys at the guard to park the car for him. His grandmother was standing outside. She opened her arms and he hugged her. He smiled and said, "I've missed you, Gran." She teased"Missed me so much that you left me all alone today?" He smiled and said, "It was mom's order for me to go."

She rolled her eyes and said, "She orders everyone around, don't you think?" Liam smiled and said, "Let's not talk about her and get your blood pressure high."

He held her while walking inside. And asked, "So what did you do today?"

"Nothing. Just was counting my days before I go to Heaven."

He held a light smirk on his lips for his dramatic grandmother.

"I only had one wish that u would get married and settle down before I die but u never listen to me."

"Why are we touching this topic again? I told I never wanna get married at all."

"You cannot let that one mistake in your past destroy your future, baby."

"I'm not destroying my future. I'm keeping my future safe from ruining it."

"My child, you still haven't learned how to love. You don't know the great value of loving someone and coming home to someone u love."

"I loved someone. She betrayed me. End of story. Getting married is not worth it."

"That was not love, baby. That was agreed that she had for your money."

"All women are same, Gran. I don't wanna marry anyone."

As they both sat down on the couch. His grandmother took out her phone. Liam instantly knew what she was doing. He said"I'm not seeing anyone's picture. I'm not getting married."

He tried to push her phone away gently but she said"At least look at the girl. She's so beautiful."

As she was about to turn the phone screen at him, he said"I don't want..." he stopped mid-sentence.

He saw a picture of Emily smiling.

Deep inside he knew that she looked like a goddess but his anger of her slapping him grew. He acted innocent and said, "Isn't that Emily Parker?". She giggled"yes, she is. I like her. She's beautiful and so nice."

The picture she had of Emily was that she was smiling in that picture. That smile reached up to her dark brown eyes.

He asked, "How did you get a picture?" Regina smiled and said"Well, I tried to ask Melissa when we went to meet them, but she tried to change the subject. So....."

She smiled and he figured"Elijah?"

"You're not the only one with a P. I"

He laughed at her. She asked"So?" He answered truthfully"She's beautiful."

"And?"

"I would like to meet her again."

"oh My God! Liam! This is the greatest news you've given me today."

At night he was about to sleep but he got a message from Elijah.

Every little detail about her was there. Including her pictures and in every one of them she looked gorgeous. But it was time for revenge.

He had every information about her. But no information about where she hangs out most or even her friends.

That did make Liam curious a bit about her but he ignored it.

He continued to stare at her pictures until sleep took over him.

The next day, Liam came down the stairs and his Gran was already waiting for him for breakfast.

She smiled and he kissed her forehead. He sat beside her and she asked"Where are you going today? It's on Saturday." He smiled at her and took a bite of his eggs and answered"I'm going to meet the Parkers again. To talk over some business. I'm thinking about taking David's contract with Knight Enterprises." Regina raised her brow and said, "And?" He smiled more"And..... to maybe meet Emily again." She laughed and said"Then what are you doing? You need to go now!"

He laughed and got up. Kissing her forehead again and left.

He was honest about taking David's offer. A collaboration between Parker Incorporation and Knight Enterprises. But he didn't tell the whole truth.

He never told his Gran that Emily will be apart of the deal as well.
