"Dad, thank you so much." Ryan said hugging Liam.

We were in the car returning back home. Me, Ryan and Liam we were sitting at the backseat of the car. Ryan was just jumping in excitement telling us everything he did today.

"Thank you for what?" Liam asked.

"For marrying Mommy first and second for keeping chocolate cake at the party, there are more reasons but I can't remember them now." Ryan said pouting.

I giggled. Liam kissed Ryan's forehead.

"You know Dad, Mommy had two chocolate cake pieces tonight." Then Ryan paused for sometime and giggled "And Dad, you know Mommy eats just like a baby."

My eyes widened. Liam looked at me with a smirk.

"No, I don't."

"Yes Mommy. You don't remember? While eating the chocolate cake it was all over your mouth and I had to give you a napkin to clean up your face."

"N-No, nothing like that happened." I glared at Ryan. He understood what I was trying to say and instantly shut his mouth.

Liam was still staring at me, when my gaze met his, he just chuckled and said before turning to look forward. "She is a baby."

I frowned.

Huh? Me? Baby?

Finally, when we reached home, Liam went with Ryan to his room, to get him changed and to make him sleep. I was dead tired to go to Ryan. Liam understood that and took Ryan with him to his room.

I made my way to Liam's room. When I reached his room, I was shocked. To say his room was awesome will be an understatement. His room was beautiful more than beautiful. No doubt that billionaires have a very good taste. I took a look of the whole room.

Well from now this room will not only be his, but mine too.

"Aah! This feels so good."

I was about to enter the washroom but stopped.

"My dresses. Shit!"

I ran to his walk-in closet. I saw his clothes on one side and on the other side were some girly clothes. I think these are for me. I sighed in relief. I took a good look at all the dresses.

"Wait. These are not mine."

I took out one nighty from the closet. "I am surely not wearing this. Where are my cute pyjamas? I want them. I miss them so much."

Well I think I should wear at least one of these. I can't stay in this heavy dress for the whole night.

This dress is killing me.

I took out one of the nighty that was a little sober from the others and went to the washroom.

After changing my clothes when I came out of the washroom, I saw Liam sitting on the couch doing something in his phone. He was already in his sweats and a t-shirt.

When did he change?

He raised his gaze up to look at me, he scanned me from top to bottom and instantly his eyebrows furrowed.

I held the shrug more tightly covering my body.

Oh shit! Is he thinking that I am trying to seduce him?

My eyes widened "No. No. No. Please don't think something wrong. I am not trying to seduce you. Actually, the dresses that are on the closet are not mine. And I don't wear nighties at night especially not these. I usually wear pyjamas at night and that too my cute ones. But the main point now is seducing. If you are thinking that I am trying to seduce you, then you are wrong because I am not trying to do that. I didn't have any choice, I had to wear this." I said all in just one breath.

He kept staring at me for sometime then got up from the couch and started coming towards me. I was moving back.

"W-What are you d-doing?"

I stopped when my back hit the wall. He too stopped when he reached extremely close to me. He stood in front of me and said in the most intimidating voice "Are you nervous?"

I bit my lip and shook my head.

He smirked "Lying is not good Bella."

"I-I am not l-lying."

"Bella, these few days I have observed one thing about you. Wanna know what?" He said caressing my one cheek. My eyes automatically closed.

I nodded slowly.

He brought his face close to me and whispered in my ears "That whenever you are nervous you bite your lip."

Shit!

"So are you nervous Bella?"

I still shook my head.

His fingers slowly travelled down to my shoulders then my collarbone. My body was shivering at this new feeling, by his touches. The feeling I have never felt before, this strange feeling. His fingers then traced my arms, I bit my lips again.

"Am I making you nervous?"

Lost in his touches, I didn't realize when I said "Yes."

His hand stopped. I opened my eyes realizing what I just said.

He smirked again.

"I like the effect I have on you. Stop biting your lip or you'll start bleeding."

"C-Can you move b-back please?"

"Why?"

What does he mean why?

He finally moved away from me and went back to sit on the couch.

"Bella, I have some rules that you must follow. I repeat you 'must follow' whether you like them or not."

Now he is acting all bossy.

"What rules?" I asked.

"Number 1: We'll pretend to be a happy couple outside this room. Even in front of Ryan, Mom and Dad and yes your Nanny too."

I nodded.

That won't be a problem.

"Number 2: You will not sleep with me on the same bed."

"Why? Then where would I sleep? There is only one bed in the room."

"On the couch. It's pretty comfortable." He said scanning the couch.

"Why are you being so mean to me?"

"Because I don't like anyone on my bed, unless it's for some other reason."

Processing.

Processing.

Processing.

My eyes widened when I finally understood what he meant. Such a pervert.

"So, if you want that then you are most welcome to 'sleep' with me."

"N-No, I'll sleep on the couch. It looks pretty comfortable." I said with a nervous laugh.

"Good. Moving on. Number 3: You'll never leave Ryan alone, whatever the reason maybe. If it's something urgent ask Maria to be with him."

I nodded again.

"Number 4: You'll be my escort at every gatherings or parties."

I nodded again.

"Number 5: You will not bring any other men at my house and of course, no boyfriends"

I glared at him. "I don't have one."

"In future of you plan to make one."

He is acting as if he knows nothing about me.

"Number 6: Wherever you go or wherever you take Ryan, you will inform me and if I say 'no' then don't dare to step out of the house and neither will you try to fight me or convince me."

Meanie.

Rude.

Jerk.

"Number 7: You will not use any bad words or curse anyone in this house and of course not in front of Ryan."

"You warned me about that already."

"Still reminding you, you have a habit of spacing out at times. Maybe that time you were busy in your own fairyland."

I glared at him.

Now I am really hating him.

"Number 8: You will not go to that room downstairs, where I caught you last time."

"Why?"

"I don't like people disturbing my privacy. If you go there, you'll face the worst for yourself."

I shivered at his words.

"The last one and the most important one."

I furrowed my eyes.

Oh! So, there are more.

"Number 9: No drinking, no going to clubs."

So, he thinks I drink and go to clubs everyday.

"I don't go to clubs everyday."

"You'll not go to the club even once."

Can I punch him in that perfectly sculptured face?

I nodded.

This man really likes to make me angry.

"W-What if I break any of these rules?" I asked in curiosity.

I mean it's not like I'll break them but still I should know.

"There will be consequences."

"What kind of consequences?"

"Worst than you can even think." He then got up from the couch and said "My suggestion to you is don't break any rule, I am sure you'll not like the punishments."

He is scaring me now.

He placed a blanket and a pillow on the couch and he himself got on the bed.

"Have a good and comfortable sleep Mrs. Parker." With that laid down on the bed with his one hand resting on his temple and closed his eyes.

I can't believe he is really doing this to me.

I stomped my feet on the ground and went to the couch.

I laid down on the couch and was trying to sleep but where the hell is my sleep. I can't find her anywhere. I think she ran away seeing the couch. I kept changing my position, uncomfortable as hell. Then my eyes fell upon the man sleeping on the bed comfortably.

How can he sleep so peacefully, when I am literally dying on this fucking couch?

What if I murder him in his sleep?

I thought with an evil smirk on my face.

"Well you can't. So stop giving yourself fake hopes and just sleep." Liam said with his eyes still closed.

My eyes widened.

Is he reading my thoughts?

"No. It's just you think too loud."

Stop thinking Bella.

Stop thinking.

Shush Bella shush.

I glared at him. "Fucking Liam Parker." I mumbled.

"Are you planning to get a punishment already? Didn't I say no cursing?"

I quickly turned back and closed my eyes trying my best to sleep and not think anymore.

I don't remember when I drifted off to sleep.
