Liam (Book 2) SIXTY SEVEN
I hum a lullaby while I rock Ramsey to sleep. The boys are outside while the girls are inside binge-watching Grey's Anatomy.Soft knocks on the door as Effie enters the nursery, shuts the door and tiptoes her way to the couch across from me."Zara asleep?"She nods. "After her bottle, she fell asleep. Playing with her uncle wore her out.""I never notice how big she is getting." I chuckle, looking down at my sleeping Prince. "The first time I saw her, she was tiny.""Zara is a big eater."We both laugh but stop when Ramsey stirs in his sleep. I rise from the rocking chair and place my son in his crib. I did not want to leave his side. Leaving him and being apart from my son makes a part of my soul crumble. Is this what being a mom feels like? Is this how my mother felt when she left me?"Grandpa told me everything," Effie says. "To think that the man who destroyed Liam's adolescence is your father. Your real father."A sense of pity filled in Effie's words as she mentioned, 'My fathe

"Thank you for coming, Lily. After that fiasco at the supermarket, you wouldn't want to see me again.""I didn't have a choice since you said my great-grandfather is here to see me."She seems close the door as I'm inside her home. I had Liam drive me here before he went with the guys and picked me up later. Seema texted me last night and told me her dad, my great-grandfather, is flying here to L. A and wanted to see me.I don't know why since I'm not close to him, but my mother would have wanted me to meet him. At first, I didn't want to because of Seema, but knowing and meeting."You didn't bring you...son," she says as if Ramsey is a parasite. I clench my hands, and so help me want to slap her. I refrain and posture myself."He is with his father, bonding," I tell her with a sour face. "I will ask Liam to bring him here to meet his great-great-grandfather. But he will contract some disease if he sees you."Seema gasps shockingly. "How dare you talk like that? I would have slapped y

Liam and I couldn't wait.He drove fast with the family's CRV and took us to his house. We were frantic that his brothers, Effie, or the others would notice, but we didn't care. I'm worried about leaving Ramsey with his grandparents, especially Seema. Rahul reassured me that she would not harm my child. If she does, I would have to bitch slap her. Liam abruptly stops on the side, never caring to park in the driveway. He got out first, as I already unhook the seatbelt. He opened my door and pulled me out as he closed the door. Liam locks the car while he holds my hand, unlocking the front door, he checks around the house to see if anybody is home as if we are about to make a heist, and when it is all clear, we run upstairs into his room.Liam shut the door and locked it. While he did that, I was already removing my clothes, and as soon as I pulled my shirt. Liam cups the fabric of my bra on my breast and kisses my neck.I moan from his touch—the urge and hunger I wanted so badly from
Liam (Book 2) EPILOGUE
I open the door after the first ring and pull up a curve smile wide enough to greet Grandma Birdie standing at the doorstep. "Oh, my little Lily," Grandma Birdie squeezed my face and kissed the side of my face. "After giving birth, you became more beautiful than ever." "Oh, stop it, Grandma," I blush. "Congratulations on graduating high school. Here for you and Effie," she hands me a gift bag. "It's something you both desperately need." "What is it?" "Open it later," she winks and walks towards the family room as she yells. "Wayne, Nicky, oh, and my baby boy Ramsey. Come to Gram Gram." I watch her get Ramsey from Dad and shower him with love. I pull up a grin before Effie comes to my side. "Oh, Birdie is here." "Yeah." Looking down at the bag. "So, what did she get you?" Effie asks, looking over my shoulder. "Us," I correct her. "Me too? Well, can I see?" "I was planning on opening it when my grandma or anybody isn't around," I say. "I got an uneasy feeling the gift won't b
Liam (Book 2) ONE
"You and Liam are now engaged." Those words have been wrapped around my brain for weeks now. "Lily...Lily!" I jumped at the sound of Nicky Peters taking me away from my thoughts as he poured orange juice into my half-empty glass. "Are you okay, honey-bunch?" he asked in concern. Nicky Peters, aka Nicholas Greene. Before meeting my other Dad, Nicky was a baseball player for the Colorado Spring Sox and one of the best. He told me his Dad made him play to be a man, but all my Dad wanted to do was make colorful clothing and make-up. He played baseball until he was in high school, but during that time, he joined beauty pageants when he finally came out. His Dad was unhappy once he found all the dresses and costumes and kicked him out. With the money, he saved enough to travel to Long Beach, where he works as a hairstylist in a salon. The ladies love him not because he is a handsome man but because he is straightforward to get along with, and they enjoy his company. He had one regular

I let out a sigh and drank my juice in one gulp. I let out a breath of the refreshments and saw my Dad's eyes full. "Yeah, I'm totally fine." I lied, answering my Dad once I was out of memory lane. My other Dad, Wayne, left for work early in the morning. So, it's just the two of us.I'm not subtle at all."Honey," he set down a gallon of Sunny D bottle. "Ever since you went to L.A. for that girls' weekend out with Effie and the girls. I let it slide for you to skip two days of school. But, pumpkin, you've been acting weird. Daddy and I are very worried."I cringed and stopped halfway through my chocolate chip pancakes.I couldn't tell my dads I stayed over at Effie's grandfather's home. I did tell them the truth about Effie's long-lost grandfather. But I had to lie to them about everything else. I feel sick to my stomach lying to two of the most incredible people in my life because they trusted me. I couldn't tell them that Effie was abducted by Heather Seely, the popular girl of our s

Once I shut the door, I could hear my Dad crying, which made me sigh a bit from his exaggerating sensitivity to things that make him cry. On my eighteen birthday, he called, making the whole dinner party awkward. I was surprised Effie didn't mind; she seemed calm when my Dad would whimper each time he asked her a question. Sometimes he does that, like when pregnant women are emotional because it is crazy. I wonder if I get pregnant and act like that. I'll completely understand the challenges of a new mother. I know Athena, Effie's older sister, and she's only two months pregnant, and a bit of her belly is showing. I'm so excited for her; she is carrying a child with her boyfriend, Rex, whom she loves very much. I know Effie and Ares, their brother, can't wait for their niece or nephew to arrive. Effie has told me they are combining the houses into one, so it would be easier than just walking from house to house. I mean, they were practically going to be a family soon. Hence Effie is

"Oh! Hey Lil," I turn to hear Effie's voice. Logan hides his face in her neck. Probably kissing it. "I didn't see you there. Babe, stop." She giggled slaps lightly on Logan's arm."Hey, Lily," Logan said to me when he looked up and then went back down, wanting more.Logan wasn't done from their make-out session and was now kissing her neck. It was easy for him to have access since Effie but her hair. I was shocked to see that style, and she did it herself. I asked after that day at her grandfather's house, and she told me she wanted to start fresh in her life. Now that she is no longer in danger, she tried to make a new life with her family, Logan, and her friends - including me."Didn't want to bother you guys since you're doing that in public," I told her and shut my locker. "Hey, why did Paris smile at you?" Changing the topic.Effie pushes Logan telling him to stop. When he groaned, he maneuvered his body behind her, wrapped his arm around her, and rested his chin on top of her hea
