When she was done taking a shower, she looks herself in the mirror as he dried her body with a towel.

She sniffed as she started overing up the marks again. Her tears wouldn't stop. She wore her oversized black shirt and grey pajamas. She wiped her tears and wrapped her wet hair into a messy low bun.

She came to the devil lying in his bed peacefully. Sleeping like he had done nothing.

She walked beside the bed and lied on the cold floor. She heard a voice"Emily, come up and sleep." She ignored. He again said, "Emily don't make me do it again." And that's what got her scared.

She got up from the cold floor and lied on the bed. But lied on the edge as far from him as she could. Curling her small and thin body in a fetal position. She felt herself being covered up with a blanket.

Under the warmth. Away from the cold. But laying closer to the devil.

The next day, the sound of people woke her up.

She got up from the bed and looked around. He was gone. She went in the closet to get changed but all her belongings were gone. Everything.

She went out and he was there talking to a woman. She looked professional. He looked at her and smiled saying"Good that you're awake. Get ready."

"We going somewhere?"

"We're moving. Out of this house."

"Moving?"

"Yes. Get ready and come down in 10 minutes. I'll be in the car."

The only thought she had in her mind was how could he pretend that nothing happened last night?

After 10 minutes of getting ready, she came out of the house and sat inside the car.

He looked at her. Asked, "Ready?" She gave him a single nod. They were driving for about 20 minutes. He asked, "You don't have any questions about our new house?"

"No, I don't really have any questions about your new house"

"You mean 'our'."

She just agreed"Hm."

He stopped the car in the middle of the road and asked: "What does that suppose to mean?" She got scared. A whisper escaped her mouth"Nothing."

"I heard that."

She looked down and he scolded"Don't you dare look down. Look at me." She looked at him and he again said"It's our house. Understand?" She nodded her head like a child and said"Understood."

"Who's house is it?"

""

"Good girl."

And he started driving again.

When they arrived at the driveway. There was a big front gate that had the letters "L" and "K" on it. (Liam Knight).

When they went through those gates, she couldn't believe her eyes. The grass was greener than it gave her eyes a sense of calmness. And when she looked at the two-floor mansion, her eyes widened.

He stopped the car and got out. When she stepped out as well, he linked his fingers with hers and took her inside. The house was more like a castle made of glass.

Walls and walls of windows. Big ones.

When they went in through the front door, it was breathtaking. The house was modern from inside and out. The decorations and furniture looked expensive and unique in their own way.

He took her inside and left her hand, letting her look around. She looked up at the massive chandelier made out of crystals. The sunlight through the windows hitting the crystals made them more mesmerizing and colorful.

He held her hand and took her up the transparent staircase. Into the bedroom. A big bed in the middle. The bedroom was three times bigger than the previous one. It had a bigger walk-in closet too.

She went inside and it was filled with every type of clothes. All hers and his too.

The house was bigger than David's.

He asked, "So, do you like it?" She looked at him and nodded but without showing him excitement or any other expression. His smile wiped off as she got scared and said: "I like it." He calmed down. She went inside the bathroom and there was a big tub. A jacuzzi in the middle. And standing shower inside a full glass cubicle.

She came outside and he was dressed in a suit. He looked at her and said"Get ready. We need to go to work." And left.

She got out of the house and started walking but a car came in front of her. He asked, "Where are you going?" She looked at him confused. He again said, "Get in."

She was shocked because he actually stopped the car in front of the building main door. He walked with her side by side to the elevator.

As they went up to the 40th floor there was a newspaper stand in the elevator. She picked it up and the headline read"The Quadrillionaire Bride, Emily Parker."

When they got out of the elevator, Liam went to his office. She sat on her desk reading the article about her. It wrote:

"You're married to Liam Knight?"

She looked up and Ivan was standing there in front of her. She got up and before she could say anything he said again. holding the newspaper with her face on it"You're married to Liam Knight?!"

Before she could answer, she heard a voice saying"Do you have a problem with that, Mr. Walker?

They both looked at Liam and Ivan's confidence was gone. Liam again asked, "Do you have a problem with Emily being my wife?" Ivan shook his head negatively. Sweat running down his forehead. Liam's calm and collected expression was scary to them both. Liam walked towards him. He was a little taller than Ivan. He again asked, "You got a problem with my wife?" Ivan looked at Emily then at him and said"N-No, sir."

"Good. Cause I have a problem with you."

With a strong force, Liam landed a punch across Ivan's face. Making him fall hard on the floor. Ivan looked up and his nose was bleeding. Emily couldn't believe what he did. Liam looked down and said"That's for kissing my wife. Get outta my sight before I call security and throw you out. Your ass is fired."

Ivan got up with his bleeding nose and ran as fast as he could.

Once he was in the elevator, Liam looked at Emily and shouted: "What are you looking at?" She flinched and said"Nothing." He was about to step in but stopped and asked"What?" She looked down and said"Nothing at all." He then walked inside.

A couple of hours had passed and Emily was busy working.

Emily looked over the elevator as the bell dinged and came in Jules.

She held the magazine in her hand with Emily's face on it and said: "Where is he?!" This time it was a picture of Emily herself at the ball.

Jules's face was a mess. The girl was wearing jeans and a shirt that wreaked of wine and bourbon. Her face all plain but she still had a glowing glass skin.

Her eyes black that looked like she hasn't slept. Her hair looked like that she hadn't brushed her blonde locks since the ball.

Emily replied, "Mr.Knight is busy."

"Oh save the 'Mr' crap. I know you're married. The whole world knows."

"Ms. Hugh, he's busy."

"I don't fucking care. I want to see him. NOW!"

"JULES!"

They both looked at him and he said"Don't you dare talk to my wife like that. I kept quiet the day you didn't know. But not anymore. What do you want?"

"Talk to you. But privately."

Liam gestured her to get in his office. She smiled at Emily and followed him in.

Emily felt angry that why couldn't he just throw her out as he did with Ivan. Thoughts of Jules and Liam making out in his office filled her head that made her angry and somewhat jealous. and she couldn't figure out why.

As Liam took messed up Jules in his office, she sat on the chair. He sat at the opposite. Taking the sight of a messed up model. Liam said, "Jules, I don't have time."

"Her? Your assistant. You married your fucking assistant?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I love her."

"Why is that so hard for me to believe?"

After a pause, she again said"Did you get married to her because you want to get back at me? Do you want revenge on me for cheating on you?"

"What?! Are you hearing yourself talk?"

She scoffed and said"That's it. You married that no good piece of shit just to get back at me for what I did to you 6 years ago"

He warned"Jules.."

"You did. You married her because you want revenge and you still love me, Liam"

It was that she was drunk. He stood up in anger and she did as well.

Liam said, "Get out before I throw you out. She wrapped her arms against her chest and said"Nope. Not until you say that you still love me."

Her confident smile made him happier because he knew exactly what he had to do to break her.

He stormed out from his office and to Emily's desk. She looked up and stood up saying"Mr. Knight, can I get you anything?"

He held her face and kissed her. As hard and as passionately he could. He pulled her by her waist against his body. Her palms resting on his chest. His one hand on her waist and the other resting against her the back of her neck.

Emily kissed him back. She was falling over the kiss as she needed it. Her knees giving in, but he had held her tight.

As Liam heard the sound of heels clicking, he kissed Emily harder and harder. Making her whimper a little.

He let go and both of their lips swollen. He looked at Jules and said, "Had enough proof?" Without saying another word she just left.

He looked at Emily, her brown eyes big in shock. His facial expression looked like it didn't bother him that he just kissed her. But it did. His heart felt like it melted in his chest.

With a hard voice he said"Get back to work." and left.

As hours passed, Emily couldn't work. As she went through her office files all she could feel was his lips on hers. How she reacted. How he held her. And Liam was enjoying it all in his office. Looking at her. Being a messed up mind. He loved it.

Why did he kiss me? Why did he say the word"Proof" after the kiss?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Did he kiss me to get back at Jules? I did saw her face at the ball, the way her jaw was dropped.

Is he using me? That kiss is messing up with my mind. What is this human being up to now?

He almost raped me last night and yet I feel like nothing happened much. Why did I kiss him back!?

He mostly shows his husbandly affection in front of others only.

HE IS USING ME.

Liam is using me to make people jealous. I've never felt so dirty in my entire life.
