Love and Ruin

Chapter 3

Liam was not expecting the questions Roselyn asked. He usually wasn’t bothered about the things he did, but for some reason, he didn't want Roselyn to know.

“I was busy”, he casually replied.

“Were you so busy that you couldn't return any of my calls or texts?. I thought we were close enough to do that”, Roselyn bit out.

Liam remained quiet, speaking in this case would do him more harm than good.

“Are the rumours true? Are you really as dangerous as they say?”, Roselyn asked with uncertainty in her eyes.

“Are you usually this curious?”Liam raised his brow.

“You disappeared for seven years, and then you suddenly became one of the most powerful people in the world, so yes, I am curious”, Roselyn folded her arms below her breasts, pushing them up.

Liam's gaze travelled to her b**bs that threatened to pop out for a second before looking away.

“Stop being curious, it will cause you harm”, he said.

“Here, give me your number”, Roselyn stretched out her phone to him.

Her heart was beating fast from the tension she was feeling.

Liam collected the phone from her with his hand brushing her fingers lightly.

Roselyn gulped a mouthful of saliva and looked out the window immediately to hide her flushed cheeks.

“Done”, Liam said and handed her phone back to her.

She took it without looking at him, causing Liam to smirk.

The rest of the ride was filled with silence until the car halted.

“We're here, miss”,, Harry announced.

“Thanks for the ride”, she said to Liam and came down from the car.

She went straight to her room where she found 3 pairs of eyes boring holes into her soul.

“Why are you all looking at me like that?” Roselyn asked in a curious tone.

“We're checking if it's truly you. I mean you just came down from the most dangerous man's car”, Olivia said

“I told you guys not to worry. I have known him since he was a kid”, Roselyn assured

“That's different. He's not the same person you knew then”, Isabella said softly.

Roselyn looked down. Deep down they were right. She had known Liam since she was a child, but she couldn't help but notice how different he was.

The air around him is heavy and his eyes are void of emotion.

Though he won't tell her what happened to him during the last seven years, she still knows that he will never hurt her no matter what.

“Enough worrying. What matters is that I am back safely. He didn't harm me”, she said.

“Okay, babes”,, Isabella sighed in defeat and climbed into her bed to sleep.

“Goodnight, girls”,, she said and tucked herself under the covers.

Roselyn changed into her pyjamas and fiddled with her phone. She contemplated sending Liam a message.

At the end, she decided to send him a goodnight message and quickly turned her phone off so she wouldn't see the screen.

After some minutes, she checked his chat to see that he viewed her message, but he didn’t respond.

Her anticipation was immediately quenched and she angrily tucked herself to sleep.

While at the cottage, Liam came out from the shower after having intense rounds of s*x.

His body was wet with his hair still dripping water and a towel which hung dangerously low on his waist. His eyes darkened when he saw the lady had not left.

“What are you still doing here”, he asked in a cold tone

“Some b*tch just messaged you goodnight”, she said.

Liam picked up his phone and saw that the message was from Roselyn.

“Don't you ever call her a b*tch again and get out of here…this is over”, Liam said harshly.

“You're seriously chasing me away because of some girl”, she asked in disbelief.

“Do not make me repeat myself”, he warned

Without another word, she scurried away with her clothes in her hand.

Liam took another look at Roselyn's message.

He replied to her message and tossed his phone aside.

He remembered the question Roselyn asked him. He could see the uncertainty in her eyes when she asked what he did the last seven years.

Some things are better left unsaid.

He closed his eyes to sleep, but his vision was filled with images of blood splattered everywhere and a young boy in a pool of blood, clutching onto someone who seemed to be his mum. “Mum, wake up”. “Dad, wake up”, the boy cried

Liam opened his eyes and picked up his laptop to work. He rarely slept at night because of the painful memories that flooded his mind each time he closed his eyes.

He immediately dialled his uncle. “What is the progress status of the plan”, he asked

“Good. We should be able to swing into action in a few months”, his uncle replied.

From waiting for years to a few months, it was a lot of progress for Liam.

“Okay and also let us speed up the acquisition process for Bakers corporation”, Liam said.

“Okay”,

His uncle was the acting CEO of Atelier's Holdings, and he was the COO to the public, but in an actual sense, the roles were reversed.

Hiding his identity was also part of his big plan.

“F*ck me harder, Liam”,, Roselyn cried out as Liam's d**k slammed in and out of her c*nt.

“You're not as innocent as I thought my darling”, Liam remarked as he pinched her ripples earning a moan from her.

“Look at you moaning so shamelessly. Do you really like my c*ck that much? " Liam asked as he thrusted deeper into Roselyn.

“Y-Yes”, she answered incoherently. “Louder”, Liam commanded and spanked her a** hardly making her wince.

“Yes”, Roselyn shouted.

Liam increased his pace as he slammed in and out of her

“Liammm”, Roselyn cried out as she shuddered from the org*sm.

Just then, the sound of the alarm pierced through her ears, and she jolted from her bed.

“What kind of dream was that?” Roselyn face-palmed herself in shame.
