A few more weeks passed in peace. Thank god.

Emily was normally working at her desk.

She heard a bell ding and a woman came through in.

She wore a bright red dress. The sleeves were short that covered her half shoulders. The length of her dress reached to above her knee. Showing off every curve she had. She was tall. But her black heels made her taller. She had a black Michael Kors bag that was hanging on her arms. A big sunglasses that framed her face perfectly. Her perfect red lips that looked to be filled with only lip injections. And her hair was perfect like she just came from a hairstylist.

She looked at Emily and took off her glasses.

Her grey eyes looked like they were about to kill and said: "I'm here to see Mr. Knight."

Emily intimidated by her. She asked hesitantly"umm...Name please?"

"Jules Hugh."

She looked at the itinerary that Liam had that day.

Emily looked back up and said, "I'm afraid Ms. Hugh but you're not in the list."

She raised her brows and said, "I don't need an appointment to meet Liam."

If this was any other case, Emily would've let the women go in out of the goodness of her heart. But we're talking about Liam Knight himself. Emily didn't want to ruin the peace that was between them. So she said, "I'm sorry but I can't go against his wishes."

In anger, Jules slapped her palm on the table, making Emily flinch and shouted: "I wanna see him!"

Suddenly his door opened. He came out with his hands inside his pockets. He wasn't wearing his suit jacket but only his blue vest with his white shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He asked, "What's going on?" Emily looked at him and she stood up saying"Ms. Hugh wanted to see you, Mr. Knight."

Emily noticed something. Even though there was the rage on his face but his eyes showed... sadness? Depression?

His eyes were sad as he looked at Jules.

Jules turned around and smiled at him. He asked, "May I help you, Jules?" She smiled brightly with her pearly whites (looked fake) and said"I wanted to meet you, Liam. It's been long."

His jaw clenched and he answered"Indeed... Let's go to my office."

He held the door for her and she went in, looking back and smiling at Emily. He said, "Emily, cancel my other appointments."

She asked"B-But what about the Chinese market? You wanted to see them today."

"Reschedule."

"Bu..."

He went close to her, making her scared and said with his eyes still on her and slowly"Re-fucking-schedule the appointment. Understand?" Only a whisper and shiver in her breath escaped"Understood, master."

He walked into his office and closed the door behind.

"What the fuck do you want Jules?"

She turned around and asked"No 'hello' sex?" He smiled sarcastically and said"Why? Your billionaire husband not keeping you satisfied anymore?"

He sat on his chair and she said: "I got a divorce 2 weeks ago."

"And you're here because...?"

"I realized a mistake of leaving you, Liam."

He chuckled and said"Cut the bullshit, Jules. You never cared about anyone but yourself."

"I did care about you, handsome."

He shook his head slowly with a smile and said: "Not even a little bit." She wrapped her arms against her chest like she was offended"How do you know?"

"Because evil and horny women are easier to read."

"Kiss me and you'll see how much I've missed you"

"I'd rather kiss my PA than kiss you"

They both looked at Emily through the one-sided mirror glass and instantly Liam was in awe for her.

A light smile appeared on his face as he saw her working on her computer and as she took her hair and closed up high away from her face.

Jules looked at him staring at her and said: "Please she's not that pretty." He smiled at her and said"And I used to think that you were not a bitch. Guess we've both mistaken."

"Not both. Only you. It's a matter of time baby when you'll come running."

"I hope I'll die before that time comes"

"It's just a matter of time, baby"

She smiled and left. She waved her hand at Emily and went off in the elevator.

Emily flinched as she heard glass shattering. She ran in and saw his yellow vas shattered on the floor. She looked at him. His sleeves folded up to his arms. His suit jacket on the floor. Glass pieces on it.

His chest heaving up and down. She was scared too.

He said"I need the Chinese in 10 minutes. If they're not here, you'll be getting punished."

She just stared at him, frightened.

He roared "NOW!" She whimpered and ran from there. About to call.

I hated Jules to the core. She's the one that took all my hopes away. I don't believe in love because of her and I still don't.

And yet, she manages to get under my skin.

I picked up my suit jacket and walked out, looking at Emily making calls.

Her hands were shaking. She was talking on the phone.

I took the phone and turned it off. I needed a drink. I said, "Go home."

"What about the market?"

I don't give a fuck about the market!

I said slowly"Emily. Go. Home."

She knew how angry I was. She said"Y-Yes, master." And I left.

I was in a bar.

My goal was getting drunk to forget everything that the woman put me through. That bitch only wanted power and money.

(Flashback Liam POV)

We were university students. I saw her in my sophomore year. She had perfect blonde hair swaying against her hips. Was it love at first sight? I don't know.

She was the one that asked me out.

We dated for 3 years till senior year.

It was the end of the last semester. I had bought a diamond ring for her. 3 years is enough to fall in love. And I was madly in love with her.

Grandma said that she was just after my money but I shut her out.

Telling myself:

What does she know about love?

And that did backfire on me.

My definition of love is when an individual can finish other persons' every need. And I did. I gave purpose to every need of hers. And the way she smiled in return was everything to me.

I hid the ring in the tart I ordered for her at this really expensive restaurant. I was nervous obviously. But she gave me the love of a woman that I've never got and I wanted that for the rest of my life. I needed that. I needed to have that.

I saw her come through the door. Looking beautiful as always. She sat, her smile bright wide.

She noticed I was nervous. She asked, "Are you okay?"

I just smile and nodded.

We talked, laughed. It was just like normal time. I was so sure that I wanted to marry this woman.

When dessert came, the ring was on the top.

She looked at the ring and covered her mouth. I asked, "Do you like it?"

"I love it!"

I took the ring and cleaned it.

I walked to her and bent down on one knee. I said"Jules Hugh. I love you so much. You've given me the love that I never had. I promise I will cherish you, respect you, fulfill your every need. Will you marry me?"

She squealed"YES!"

I slid the ring on her finger and kissed her in front of all the people to see.

(End)

Even though I was getting flashbacks of Jules, my drunk subconscious couldn't stop thinking about Emily.

When it was exactly 2 in the morning, Liam wasn't still back home. She kept waiting but he hadn't come back.

She went down to the kitchen to get herself a glass of water.

It was dark.

Suddenly she felt a pair of hands on her waist, spinning her around.

Before she could scream a hand came over her mouth. It was Liam.

He snickered, "Shh it's me."

He removes his hand and lets them rest on each side of her waist. She was against the sink. He smiled at her and she could smell scotch q over him.

She said, "Liam, you're drunk." He scrunched up his nose and asked: "Am I?" She just looked at him. He chuckled and again said, "I am."

He then wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her to his chest and rested his forehead against her shoulder. She said in a low voice"Let's get you to bed." He looked back at her smiling gorgeously and said"Good idea." He held her face and pecked her lips. Making her really confused.

He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. She squealed making him laugh and said: "Please put me down." But he ignored.

He took her up the stairs and into the bedroom.

Liam put her down on the ground and pushed her right in the bed.

He crawled on top of her. Her body was frozen and her mind blank.

Once he was all on top of her, he whispered: "What is it about you that is so different?" He lightly pecked on her cheek and she let out a light sigh.

Slowly his lips made its way to her neck. Biting and kissing her skin. She couldn't do anything except for feel. Her toes curled and a hard but distant moan escaped her throat.

His kiss was a little painful but also a lot of pleasurable. He rested half of his body weight on top of her and nuzzled his nose in her neck. Inhaling her gorgeous scent.

She looked at him and he was snoring. He had actually passed out.

She looked at him and saw how really beautiful he was. She smiled at him and tried to get out of his stronghold.

When she had finally got up from the bed, she went into the bathroom. Her heart racing from the contact.

She looked at herself in the mirror and said"He's drunk. Why is your heart racing? You've seen drunk people. You've seen Curtis, David, Tanya and Melissa drunk. Liam is just drunk. Nothing more."

Her heart was racing. And she didn't know why.

She washed her face and her neck and got out of the bathroom.

He was standing there in front of her. Clothes changed. Wearing black sweat pants but no shirt. His eyes were still sleepy and drunk.

He said"I told you that you can't go. Why did you leave?" He walked closer to her that she had to put her palms against his chest and said"You should sleep. I don't want you to pass out on the floor."

He looked down at her hand on his chest. He looked back with a really devilish smile put his hands against hers. He walked closer, not letting her move her hands and lightly kissed the tip of her nose and whispered: "Come with me."

He held her wrist and made his way back to his bed. Pulling her with him.

He lied down and pulled her beside him.

He hovered over her and again buried his face in her neck and his muscular arms around her waist pulling her closer to himself. His body on top of her felt like a cozy heater. He whispered, "Don't you dare move again." And this time he had finally passed out.
