Chapter 11When Naya didn't give a response, he took the phone off his ear only to find out that she had hung up. “Why?” He muttered, redialing her contact but she didn't pick up. Throwing courtesy aside, he continued dialling her contact while Naya, who had her phone resting on the leather seat, wouldn't pick up. She was just staring at it, her lips parted into a smile as she imagined the look on Liam’s face. Without being told, she already knew his expression was going to be a mix of frustration and worry, judging by the tone he had used in speaking to her. “He keeps calling, it's best if you tell him what you are up to.” One of her bodyguards said but she shook her head in the negative. Propping herself up, she pushed her hair behind her ear, staring at her ringing phone. “Where was his last location?” She asked. “He is still in front of the police station. From the look of things, he would be heading somewhere else within a few minutes.” The second bodyguard added and she no

Chapter 13Still having her head bent to the ground, Naya remained mute as she sucked her teeth. Her eyes which were fixed on the pictures were burning with hot tears which she was determined not to let roll down her cheeks. Her tears were borne out of the anger that was welling inside of her. The more she looked at the pictures, the angrier she became. “What has gotten over you, answer the damn question.” Nathan snapped as he made his way towards her but he was stopped by his father. Almost immediately, Naya, raised her head, she was still on her knees but her voice was firm. “I deserve some privacy. I can’t go about telling everyone what is going on in my life.” Shifting her gaze to Sam, she gripped one of the pictures with both hands and then ripped it apart, “I bet it's high time you mind your fucking business. Who I meet, where I go to, is none of your business.” Her voice was loud and firm. After this, it took a while before the interrogation resumed again and a resilience

Chapter 15 At his words, all eyes were fixed on him. It was as if he had committed a heinous crime after being portrayed as innocent. Gulping, Liam tried to speak but he couldn't move his tongue, Naya on the other hand was sweating profusely as she rubbed her sweaty palms against her dress. Her intention was to wriggle out from what was to come only for her to fall into a pit which was deeper than the former. “Why marriage?” Grandmother asked, she was taken aback by the sudden suggestion. “Weren't they dating? Marriage will help to consummate their union and make it official.” he replied with a shrug, fueling her anger. “I disagree, I'm not going to sit back and watch Naya get married to someone who has no future. Are you out of your senses, why would you give such a vile suggestion?” She yelled, hitting her palm against the leather chair. “Calm down, it's just a suggestion. I didn't impose it on them.” He mused. “Moreover, it seems the both of them are inseparable. Instead of

Chapter 17Immediately Liam and Naya stepped out of the living room, Liam flung her hand off his and then stomped outside while Naya ran after him. When they got to the car, he was about to start throwing fits when she pushed him in, got in too and then banged the door shut. “Are you out of your mind?” Liam yelled at her. He was livid and embarrassed at the same time. Even though he had nothing to offer, this was the first time he was being treated with multiple disrespect. “Please calm down.” Naya said, trying to hold his hand but he flung it away, still seething with anger. “How do you expect me to calm down? Your family practically downgraded me back there and you are telling me to calm down… oh, I see… you were busy enjoying the show right?” Hitting his palms together, he yelled, “You brought me here to make fun of me, right?” “That's not the issue here, please calm down and listen to me.” She pleaded with a tiny voice hoping it would placate him but he was just too angry to

Chapter 19Stunned, Naya couldn't help but stare at him as she blinked her eyes rapidly. She thought she was dreaming so she bit her lips as she pinched herself with all her might. “Ugh! That hurts.” She muttered, staring back at him with her eyes widened in shock. “Why are you being so dramatic? It's just a proposal.” Liam scoffed. Chuckling lightly, she began to comb through her hair again with her fingers. She always does this whenever she wants to make a crucial decision that requires careful thinking. After a few minutes of silence, she raised her head in his direction and with a sceptical look on her face, she said, “Are you sure of what you are saying? Can you operate a laptop?” She asked, peering at him. Though Liam was not pleased with the way she was speaking to him, he shoved it off and then placed his hands on his hips. For a moment, the atmosphere between them was thick with tension. While Naya was praying he didn't change his mind, Liam was trying desperately to sw
