"Then why didn't you count yourself. I want to live for you, I want to live with you every moment." Liam said looking in my eyes.

"L-Liam I-" He didn't let me complete my sentence and crashed his lips against mine.

"I don't know what are you about to say but please don't end this. I love you. I love you so fucking much. I know that Ryan needs you but Bella more than him, I need you. I need you in my life." With that he again connected our lips. He was kissing me passionately. His lips left mine and he started placing soft kisses on my eyes, nose, cheeks. My eyes closed automatically he sucked hard on my neck earning a moan from me. His head rested in the crook of my neck for sometime.

"You have no idea how much I was resisting myself from taking you right there in that hot tub." Liam whispered in my ears and bit my earlobe.

"Mmm." A moan escaped my lips.

"And then this dress of yours. Do you really expect me to stay in my right senses when you look so fucking gorgeous?"

I licked my lips, he went down sucking on my exposed chest. Within seconds I was pulled towards him and made me sit on his lap with my legs on with side of him. Our forehead were resting against each other, his hands travelled down to my waist, he started leaving wet kisses on my neck moving down to my chest. He grabbed my ass giving it a hard squeeze making me moan.

Liam got up from the couch with me. I wrapped my legs around his waist, he started making his way towards the bed, he then laid me down on the bed and hovered over me. He took my lips in his and started kissing me hungrily. I slid my hands in his hair, feeling his smooth hair. He bit my lower lip I gasped, taking the chance he slid his tongue in my mouth exploring my mouth. His hands roamed all over my body, I felt like I had no control over my own body, he was the one who was controlling me. When he pulled away from the kiss and looked at me in the eye, I saw pure lust in his eyes. They were full of desire and I think, so was mine.

He touched my lower lip with his thumb, his hands trailed down to my chest, making it's way to my exposed cleavage. He gave a squeeze to my right breast making my back arc in pleasure. He made me sit up and removed the strings of my dress making it fall to my waist, exposing my breast since the dress was backless, I didn't have any bra on. I laid back on the bed, Liam eyed me from top to bottom like I was his prey. He started unbuttoning his shirt, when he was done he threw it somewhere on the floor, I traced my hand from his chest to his hard abs. I looked up at him and bit my lip. He was observing my each and every action.

He laid back on top of me, I felt his hand on my naked thigh travelling up through the slit in my dress, he removed my panties, his hands were now on my spot rubbing it and his lips came down to mine. In between our kiss he whispered "I am not going easy on you this time."

-------------------------------------------------------------

When I woke up, I saw Liam lying next to me and staring at me with a smile. I smiled back at him.

"What?" I asked.

"What?" He asked me back.

"Why are you staring at me?" I asked.

"I don't know. I was enjoying it." He replied and pulled me closer to him, pecking my lips.

Suddenly a thought crossed my mind, I started panicking. "Liam?" I called.

"Hmm."

"W-We didn't use protection. And neither am I on birth control." I said, worried.

"So?"

"So? Liam what if I"

"You get pregnant?" He completed the sentence for me.

I nodded.

"I want you to get pregnant. I want you to carry my child." He said it so casually that it was so normal. I just stared at him. I couldn't say anything. I was shocked. He then looked at me with his eyebrows furrowed. "Wait. Do you not want that?"

"I don't know. I never thought about it." I said biting my lip, blushing.

"Good. You don't have to think anymore. Are you still sore?"

What is wrong with this man? I thought we were having a serious conversation.

"Liam."

"Let's go for one more round." He said and without even listening to me he connected our lips, within seconds I was under him and the blanket that was the only thing covering our naked body, thrown aside.

When we came down to the dining room after taking a good shower, we saw Ryan sitting with an angry face.

What happened to him?

Liam sat in front of him and I sat beside him. I poked his arm, he looked away. I gave a confused look to Liam and in return he gave me the same look.

"Ryan?" I called but he ignored me and started eating his breakfast.

"Umm... baby?" I called again.

This time he glared at me and said "Don't baby me. I am angry."

"Okay... Why are you angry?" I asked.

"Because you both have changed." He replied.

I looked at Liam, his eyebrows were raised. "How have we changed?" Liam asked.

"You both don't love me anymore." Ryan said.

"Umm... will you please elaborate a little?" Liam said.

This time Ryan glared at Liam "You both went to a party yesterday that too without me. Poor me, I was playing with those cars when you both were enjoying and dancing."

"We had a reason for not taking you." Liam said.

Ryan crossed his arms "I want to know the reason."

"Can't tell you."

"Then I am not forgiving you."

"I told you we had a reason."

"Fine then make it up to me." Ryan said in a stern tone.

Does he know how cute he looks right now?

"How?" Liam asked.

"Take me out to have ice-cream."

"I'll tell one of my men he'll bring you ice-cream." Liam said eating his breakfast.

"Nope. Not happening. You have to take me out. That's it."

Liam glared at Ryan then replied "Fine."

Ryan's face instantly lit up. "Yay! Mommy we are going out. I am going to have so many ice-creams today and Dad you can't scold me."

I laughed at him and kissed his cheek.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Dad stop!" Ryan shouted making Liam stop the car.

"I know where to stop." Liam groaned in irritation. Ryan giggled.

"I am not going in. I am tired."

"Already? We didn't do anything." Ryan frowned.

Oh I did a lot. My legs have already given up.

I saw Liam smirking. I glared at him.

"Let her be." Liam said.

"Okay, Mommy you sit here, I am going to go with Dad and buy the ice-cream. I know what flavour do you like, I'll bring one for you too."

"You are becoming really talkative." Liam sighed.

"Dad this one for me and this one for Mommy." Ryan said excitedly.

I nodded and ordered the man the ice-creams.

After buying him the ice-creams, we went out of the ice-cream parlour. Ryan was holding both his and Bella's ice-cream in his hand. Suddenly my phone started ringing, I took it out to answer the call while Ryan made his way towards the car.

The call was from an unknown number but when I heard the voice I knew who it was.

"Miss me?" The voice came from the other side.

I rolled my eyes "You wish."

I heard an evil laugh from the other side "I warned you Liam Parker that you're gonna regret rejecting me."

"Well I don't really regret it Mia." I replied.

"You will. For the rest of your life."

"I don't really have time for all your threatening, we can talk later anytime."

"Oh we will but Liam Parker didn't you forget your wife in the car?"

My brows furrowed, I looked back to see my car, it was still there as I left it, I turned back continuing the conversation.

"What do you mean?"

"Surprise Surprise."

Suddenly I heard a loud thud. I looked in the front where Ryan just went, to see him standing there frozen and the ice-cream that was on his hand had already fallen down.

I looked where he was looking just to see pieces of glass all over the road and my car was being pushed to one side of the road by a truck.

A truck crashed with my car.

I froze looking at the scene in front of my eyes.

"B-Bella." Was the only word that came out of my mouth.

"Couldn't save your girl Liam? May her soul rest in peace." With that she hung up.

No.

No.

No.

Please not again.

I tried to run to my car as fast as I could to get Bella out of the car but before I could do that the car blew up. I stopped on my tracks and just stared at the car that was burning in front of me and again I couldn't do anything.

Standing there I saw my life ending.

Not even a single tear fell from my eyes, I didn't know what to do. I felt my whole world stopping. I felt my life getting destroyed with that car.

I looked up.

What have I ever done to you? Why are you doing this to me? She was the last person who made me feel alive and you took her too away from me? She was the last hope of my happiness.

When I turned around I saw Ryan still standing at the same place with tears rolling down his cheeks, his whole body was shaking. Taking a deep breath, I went to him and kneeled down in front of him. He was just staring at the burning car. I hugged him.

"I-It's okay." I said in a broken voice when I very well knew that nothing was okay.

Nothing was okay.

She was gone.

She is not coming back to me again.

He was just shaking, I held him tightly to stop him from shaking. "It's okay baby."

"M-Mommy." He finally managed to say in a low voice, still crying staring at the burning car.

I didn't know what to say to make his tears stop. This was the first time when I couldn't stop him from crying, first time when I couldn't find words to comfort him. Hell I didn't even know what to think.

"Liam." A voice came from behind me.

That voice. That one voice and my heart felt relieved. That one voice and I felt my body getting stiffened.

Bella.

"Mommy." Ryan said and ran away from me towards that voice.

Slowly turning around, I saw her.

She was alive.

She was fine.

I sighed in relief.

Ryan hugged her, while sobbing and she stood there in confusion.

"Baby what is it? Why are you crying?" She asked Ryan picking him up in her arms.

Ryan didn't say anything and just hid his face in the crook of her neck. She looked in my direction, with the same question.

I didn't know how to react. Rubbing my face with my hands I took a deep breath. She came to me with Ryan still in her arms.

"Liam, t-the car. How did this happen? I was in the nearby store talking to L-Lily, my ex-apartment neighbour. H-How did this happen?" She asked.

I stared at her for sometime then said "L-Let's just take a cab." Without even letting her ask or say anything I held her hand tightly and dragged her to a cab.

When we reached home, Bella took Ryan to his room while I went to our room. I was trying to calm myself down but it was just impossible.

What if she was in that car? What if everything went as per Mia's plan? I would've lost her forever.

I took out my phone and called Asher "I am texting you an address I want you to look at the security cameras in that place and let me know if you find any clue."

"But Sir what happened?"

"Mia tried to kill Bella. I want the truck number and the driver too. You have one day."

"Yes sir."

With that I hung up.

Mia White, I will destroy you.

I don't know what is wrong with both of them. The whole ride Ryan was in my arms and Liam didn't speak a single word. When we reached home Liam went straight to our room and I went with Ryan to his room to make him sleep. His condition was really bad, he was shaking badly so I thought if he rests for sometime then he might feel better. I sat beside him tracing my fingers through his hair.

He looked at me and said "M-Mommy."

"Yes baby?" I asked smiling.

"Will you promise me one thing?"

"What?" I asked

"Promise me that you wouldn't leave me. Ever."

I was first confused by what he was saying then I smiled and kissed his forehead "Promise. I won't leave you ever. I'll always be with you."

He gave me a pale smile and closed his eyes.

When Ryan fell asleep, I went to my room. But when I entered the room, there was no sign of Liam. I went to his office to check, but he was not there too. I knew exactly where to find him. I made my way to the rooftop and as I expected, there he was standing, lost in his thoughts. I made my way towards him and wrapped my arms around his waist from behind. His body stiffened when I placed a gentle kiss on his back.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

Slowly he turned around to face me and without saying anything his one hand went to the back of my head pulling me closer he crashed his lips against mine. His actions were so sudden that if he wasn't holding me tightly I would've surely lost my balance. His lips were moving so fast against mine that I was unable to match up with his pace.

He pulled away when we ran out of our breaths. He rested his forehead against mine breathing heavily.

"L-Liam?"

Without saying anything his arms wrapped around my waist, he hugged me tightly. Placing a kiss on my neck he said "I love you. I love you so much Bella. I love you."

"Liam, wha-"

"I-I thought I lost you today. I thought that you were in that car. You have no idea what I went through in that moment. Don't scare me like that ever again please." I could feel that he was crying.

"Liam I am okay. I am with you." I said hugging him back.

----------------------------------------------------------

Its been a week now, I was in the kitchen making lunch with Maria, suddenly I started feeling dizzy. I immediately ran to the washroom and threw up. Since yesterday this is the third time I threw up. When I came back Maria looked at me with a worried look.

"Bella, Are you okay?" She asked.

"I don't know. I threw up." I said.

"Threw up? Why so suddenly?"

"I don't know. It's the third time since yesterday."

She checked my temperature then thought for sometime and asked "Did you had your periods this month?"

"Umm... No. Not yet."

"Are you late?"

"Yes." I was answering all her question confused then when the thought crossed my mind, my eyes grew wide. "Do you mean... mean?"

"Maybe you are pregnant." She completed the sentence for me. "Wait here, I'll just send someone to get you a stick."

I nodded slowly.

This must be it. We had sex without protection, all the time. Not just yesterday but before too, no protection.

Shit!

After thirty minutes, Maria came to my room with the stick in her hand. "Go and take it."

I went inside the washroom and took the test not just one but three. When I saw the test, it was positive, all three were positive. I was shocked. I froze in my place in the washroom, after Maria's banging the door five times, I heard it. I went and opened the door. Looking at my face, she got the hint what the result was.

"OH MY GOD! YOU ARE PREGNANT." She pulled me out of the washroom and hugged me tightly.

"Me? Pregnant?"

"I-I am p-pregnant."

"Oh Jesus! I am pregnant."

I smiled with tears streaming down my eyes "CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I AM PREGNANT."

"I am carrying a child."

I yelled twirling with her. "Let me calm down. Breathe in, breathe out."

"AAH! I still can't believe this Maria. I am pregnant."

"Oh Bella." She kissed my forehead. "I am so happy for you."

I placed my hand on my belly with a smile on my face "Liam will be so happy."

The whole day I was dying to tell Liam about my pregnancy. He would surely be so happy but I was waiting for him to come back home. That's why I didn't even tell Ryan, I knew he would surely tell Liam about it.

In the evening Ryan came to me and gave me a bag.

"Dad has sent this for you. It's time for your surprise. Wear the dress and come down. A car is waiting to take you to Dad." He giggled and before I could say anything he ran out of the room.

I smiled and shook my head. When I looked inside the bag, I saw a beautiful dress.

After I was done dressing up and applying my makeup I went downstairs. As soon as I reached outside I saw Ryan waiting impatiently.

"Ryan?" I called him. He looked up at me and ran to the car.

He opened the door for me and said "Have a nice night Princess."

I laughed and ruffled his hair.
