The Unveiling Beauty

Chapter Eleven 11 Do You Still Love Liam

Liam watched David and Emma work together like a loving couple, people would really envy their kind of relationship. If it was acting then they were really good at it, Liam wondered how much David paid Emma to act this way. Emma can't love another man, she had only him in her heart. Watching them made his heart tremble he felt jealous why should David be happy. Why should he?.

Emma made some sauce and then she looks at David. "Here taste it is it good?" She asked blowing on it. David looks at her happy smile and tastes it. His stomach felt warm, she was really good at cooking her food was the best.

"It's good"he said, "Okay" she said with a smile. David's heart melted the way she was doting on him felt real, he felt himself wanting to know her more everyday.

Soon the aroma of Emma's dishes filled the garden choking everyone, only the smell would make you hungry if you had no appetite. "Girl what are you cooking let the old man have some" he said to Emma.

Emma smiles "Sure father- In-law" she said giving him some lamb chops he tastes it and his eyes shimmers.

"This is the best lamb chops I've ever tasted" he said.

"Better than mine" said Aunt Si going to her husband.

"Yes I won't be on your side she surpasses you" said Old man Clarkson.

Aunt Si tastes it and then her facial expression changes and she looks at Emma in shock who was smiling.

"Let me have some" said Liam having some too his eyes shimmers.

"You have improved Emma" said Liam.

"I've always cooked the same way, but you never tasted it, so I don't care about your compliment" said Emma.

"Lisa's saliva lamb chops are more spicy at least you get to taste her there too like an indirect kiss" said Emma with a smile.

David looks at the woman standing next to him a smile played across across his face she was so good at biting and spitting at people he was so proud of her.

She turns to him "Husband let's go eat we'll check the dumplings later" said Emma. David follows Emma and they set the table and their dishes with the other dishes, Lisa was seething with anger and jealousy, Emma has gotten some nerves and she has stolen the attention again.

Emma picks some dishes for David who's stomach was warm for the first time he felt happy, this little woman was so good at her job in annoying people and getting attention. "Emma I would love to learn this dish, you prepared most of Liam's favorite dishes, can you teach me tomorrow or I'll come to your house instead" said Lisa with a smile. Both Emma and David's facial expression changes, David stops eating Emma noticed that he has become quiet. "Sister are you trying to say discord Liam is not the only one who eats this dishes it's for everyone so I don't get what you're trying to imply" said Emma, looking at Lisa who was smiling. "I'm full" said David leaving,

"Enjoy your meal I'll go check the dumplings"said Emma following David. "Lisa what do you think you're doing?" Said Liam.

"It was just a joke"said Lisa eating happily.

Emma follows David to the garden.

"Lisa talks nonsense sometimes " said Emma. "Are you offended by what she said, she just trying to make me lose face" said Emma. "Did I say anything" said David his voice cold. " Okay I hope you won't be offended I'll go check the dumplings " she said leaving.

Lisa felt like she had finally achieved something and then she looks at the dishes Emma prepared. "What a waste maybe we should throw it away"she said.

Emma sat in the courtyard and then she looks a bit sad. Old man Clarkson sits down and looks at her. "Why don't you play something for the old man, I like your music you remind me of David's mother " he said. Emma nods and then she starts playing, Old man Clarkson nods his head and closed his eyes. Emma was playing so passionately and the fireworks started it was a beautiful scene, Emma played some other sextet and felt very tired. She goes to her room and then she sees David sitting down by the balcony. Emma didn't want to say anything and she goes to take a shower and lies down on the bed falling asleep, after a while she wakes up feeling extremely hungry she had left some dumplings in the fridge she looked around but didn't see David. Emma puts on her robe and then sneaks out of the room it was already dark and quiet inside the mansion, Emma turned on her phone torch and then sneaks into the kitchen she finds the dumplings and then heats them up and starts eating. Emma was so busy eating that she didn't notice a figure standing behind her and wrapping his hand around her waist, "Coming out just to check if I'm still awake" came Liam's voice came in her ear.

"Let go what are you doing get your filthy hands off me or else I'll scream" said Emma. "You can't because you want it to be this way" he said.

"I'll count to three, one....two....thr-

Liam's hand was pressed against her mouth they were really close their bodies joined together. Emma raises her leg to kick him below the belt but he stands in-between her legs.

"What are you trying to do Emma are you trying to make me jealous by using David, you want me to come close to you, look at you, you can't stop yourself from wanting me , unconsciously preparing my favourite dishes" said Liam.

"You're not the only one who loves pork ribs, Liam and get off me right this instant you make me want to puke" said Emma.

"And if I don't " he whispered his face getting closer he was about to kiss her.

All of a sudden the lights turned on at the corner was David his face as black as a pot's bottom. "What's going on " he said with red eyes. Emma pushes Liam away "David I can explain " she said following him but he had already walked away.

Liam laughed "You I'm going to kill you " she said hitting him again.

Emma follows David upstairs, she closes the door and then watches him sit down quietly drinking liquor. Emma felt scared and really guilty, sh didn't know how to approach him, Emma fiddles with her fingers and then goes outside and stands a few meters away from him looking for words to say his silence was killing her.

"I wasn't supposed to see that wasn't I?" He said without looking at her.

"I tried to push him away but he trapped me I tried to scream too but he covered my mouth-

"If I give you a gun to shoot him will you be able to do it?" He asked.

"What are you saying i-

"Just tell me Emma yes or no?" His voice was like a knife piercing her inside.

"No I can't kill anyone "she said

"Do you still love Liam?"he asked

"Why are you asking me all this i-

"Emma answered the damn question do you still love him?" His voice sounding more angry.

"Emma, he said grinding his teeth

"I don't" she said.

"Stop lying to yourself" said David

"Why does it matter to you if I love him or not,you said we shouldn't interfere in our personal life why does it bother you?" She asked. David's face turns ashen, "Emma don't let Liam get into your head" said David.

"He wants you to think that way, yeah he was my first love, I loved and waited for him for a long time but I won't be stupid enough to go back to him, I need some face it's like eating what I've thrown up" said Emma.

"By the way if you feel uncomfortable that I'm making you loose face then divorce me, you saved my life I'm grateful and I'll pay you back every dime you spent on me" she said walking away.

"But you should know better than me who Liam is" she said stopping her tracks and she goes inside leaving David alone.

David watches her climb the bed and fall asleep he sits down his face not looking too good. He was so jealous she didn't say much when Liam touched her but even if he held her waist she would nag him. Didn't she feel anything for him, not even a bit to her they were just partners, he wished he hadn't left,he didn't leave then that scum Liam wouldn't have stolen her away from him.
