EmeliaI whimpered silently, wiping my tears.I hear keys jingling at the door and I look up as stopped when I heard the door open.“Liam?” I stood up, looking at him as if he wanted to say something, looking at me and I swallowed hard.“Whey. What’s wrong?” He asked, coming closer to me as I shook my head.“Where did you go? I thought you left,” I said in-between sobs “I went to get us something to eat. I just realised that I didn’t get any food,” he said, showing me the bags which he came with.“And what’s this? I thought you left me,” I said to him as he bit his lower lip... “I am sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you, thought maybe it was…”“I am sorry, had to leave,” read the note as he looked at me and he chuckled. ‘It’s not funny. I was so scared that you had left me,” I said to him as he nodded his head coming to me.“I am sorry. I thought I had finished the note to say I went to get breakfast,” he said to me, pulling me in a hug as I hit his chest, pushing him away.“I was scar
PrologueEmelia's Point of view.Have you ever fallen in love? Have you ever loved someone that you would give up everything just to be with that special person? Well, I have.I stood there looking at him as he stared at me from head to toe like I was absolute trash. I couldn't move because I know I deserved it, I mean I just told him everything about me as a li.My name was Emelia and not Eleanor, I was an imposter. I was a woman who dated someone for months and planned a wedding knowing that was not my world."I am sorry." I apologetically said to the man before me as he laughed."You are sorry? Are you sure you are? You lead me on for a whole three months, dates, and things I have told you. And all you say is sorry?" He let out a soft partly suppressed laugh as he looked at me once again."Who are you?" He questioned me, the pain in his voice was so evident that I had hurt him and I didn't want to do that. It was better if he knew the truth now before we went ahead and married some
Emelia's point of view.I stood in front of him as he gently rubbed his forehead like he was doing some thinking."I can't do this anymore" The words rolled out of his mouth like a piercing knife straight to my heart, all the effort to fight back my tears just went in vain as tears fell from my eyes."I am sorry Emelia. But I can't do this anymore. I can't be with someone who is just…" He said trying to sound as smooth as possible. He was seriously breaking up with me without even thinking about what I would feel.It seems he thought about this for a long time, and he finally managed to say it. I quickly wiped the stray tear that fell from my face as I looked at him."I will go to Lydia's house then come back for my things another day" I explained to him as I pursed my lips together going to place the cup of coffee on the kitchen counter."No. I will be there one to move out, this is your apartment after all" he said to me leaving me to pay for this apartment for myself. Sly move hey?
After a few drinks, we decided to go clubbing because she thought it would cheer me up. "Let's go" she grabbed me by my hand as she led the way out of the bar."Babe, take care of yourself okay?" She said to Ivan as she kissed him, he had followed us outside to find out if we will be okay driving ourselves."Call me if anything. Okay? And don't come late" He kissed her back as I smiled getting in the car, "You know I always feel like this car doesn't bring us any good luck, I always feel like I am still in high school" she complained as she got in my car.Lydia comes from a well-to-do family that deals in furniture, she isn't a brat but there's always that bratty attitude in her voice every time she opens her mouth."Really? You know that you can walk there right?" I offered and she chuckled softly as she looked at me."Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you," She said to me as I started driving, when we got to the club, she went to the front of the line as I followed her behind."Hey, Mi
Liam's Point of View.I had just touched down two days ago in Manhattan and I was already chasing Adam Williams so that I could get him to sell the land he inherited to us to develop on it.Emma insisted that I follow him here so here I was in a club on a Wednesday, "Adam, I was hoping that maybe we can talk?" I inquired hoping he would give me his time and not fucking pay attention to the strippers in front of us."Not now man. Have some fun yes?" He shouted through the loud music as I sighed heavily, I felt my phone vibrate and I took out the phone,"Taylor wants to back out from the deal, Please tell me you have convinced Adam by now to sell" the message from Emma read as I clenched my jaws looking at Adam who was being touched by the ladies who were on his laps."Soon" I replied putting back my phone in my pocket."Adam… Any chance we can…." I tried to get his attention but it seems like this was not working, I shouldn't have bothered even coming to this club."Send the document t
Liam’s Point of view ***Immediately we touched down in Los Angeles after a 6-hour flight that was already tired, we arrived thirty minutes past midnight.The driver dropped off Vicky at her apartment first before driving me home. As he drove down the hill I noticed my 20,000-square feet house there. I opened the window to the car so that I could let the fresh smell of the river hit my nostrils. The house overlooks much of L.A.'s entire Westside, with views that sweep over Will Rogers State Park on their way to the Pacific Ocean.He finally opened over and I got out as I walked to the glass door I punched in my passcode the doors opened.Immediately after I entered the house the motion sensor lights came on. "Good evening Liam" Alexa the AI welcomed me as soon as I walked over to the living room. I was making my way to the bedroom."Evening Alexa, please could you lock the door and turn off the lights?" I asked her, as I went to the bathroom.I made my way into the bedroom and the fi
Emelia’s Point of View.Stepping out of the plane, I sighed heavily the memories and feelings that I feel were draining down on me. I can’t believe that after so many years I was finally back to the place where I had run away from those years ago.I make my way through customs and finally reach the Uber which I had hailed for.“Where to?” the man questions, turning to me as I sighed heavily thinking about my life right now.“1203 Ginger Street, Marilyn land,” I say to him as I look outside the window. The drive home is so fast that in no time the driver is pulling up in front of the mansion.“Here,” I say handing him $100, he wants to give me change but I quickly decline.“Keep it. It’s for you” I smile at him, and he comes out taking the bag from the boot and giving me. I smile vividly giving him an affirmative nod...I sigh heavily as I look at the house, I work towards the front door. Unsure if I should knock or maybe just open the door I debate within myself.I finally open the
Eleanor’s Point of ViewEmelia was back in town? She ran away when the company was going downside and now she is back? I can’t believe that mum would even think for a minute to welcome her back in this house that she ran away from.“So I have been trying to talk to Emma Anderson and we finally managed to set up a date for you and Liam, what do you think?” Mum questioned me as I rolled my eyes looking at her.“Liam Anderson? Mum can you listen to yourself? I am definitely not meeting with him” I grabbed my bags and phone from the counter along the hallway.“Eleanor we both know what will happen if you don’t go through with this> you can’t just shun away from your responsibilities” Mum affirmed as I looked at her shrugging my shoulders.“I am not your only daughter. Pretty sure your other daughter can do it” I said referring to Emelia. Mum scoffed shaking her head.“You will not act like that. We both Know Emelia will never be an option.” She said through gritted teeth.“I need to g
