~~☆CHAPTER 19 & 20 ☆~~
Liam came out to lean on his table, with his hands crossed on his broad, ha-rd che-st.
He was staring so de-eper and intense at the girl infront of him wondering what to say or think about her.
He was startled, at first, that she could go behind his backs to do this awful things.
He gave a tired sigh, looking at the blank tiled roof.
” First of all, what did you need my pa-ssword for?” He asked and Mitchell fell her heads, saying nothing.
She couldn’t look into Liam’s eyes. Practically, he had this de-eper set gaze that could leave a knee trembling.
She was very scared and her li-ps kept trembling with no words when she tried to speak.
” You are keeping me in silence?” He raised his voice and Mitchell heaved a heavy, noticeable sigh.
” I don’t need your pa-ssword.” She said bluntly and Liam crossed his tall feet together as well.
” Then, why are you trying to get it by all means?” He asked and Mitchell didn’t still shake a bone from where she was standing.
Liam got fed up with her attitude. He didn’t like being treated with deaf ears.
He left the table and walked around the office, with his hands ti-ght in his pocket.
” I don’t want to repeat this question thrice, Mitchell. Who sent you?” He said and halted, hoping to hear her speak this time.
She only shuddered her shoulders to his words and that raised liam an alarm.
He knew she was very tough, and it wouldn’t be easy to make her speak.
He decided to be the smarty p@n-t again.
” Give me your phone.” He ordered and Mitchell palmed her bu-tt, snaking her hand in to her bring out the phone quickly.
” Have it.” She said and Liam collected it, swooping it carelessly in the air.
He smiled at her and Mitchell looked away from his face.
” So…Let’s do this the other way round. The easy way.” He said and Mitchell snapped her eyes close, maintaining her fiery aura.
If She could be given wishes to do so many things to this Liam guy. She would start by paralysing his senses.
Liam stepped towards her and stretched out her phone.
” Take this malfunctioning thing and dail the first caller on your list?” He said and Mitchell stung a suprise look at him.
He raised his brow at her, silently asking her if the request he asked was too big to handle.
” I should?”
” You heard me right. Do it now” He said, releasing it to drop on his table.
She knew Ray was the last person she called last night after their sweet love-making.
The thing she didn’t un-derstand was how he knew about it.
Mitchell looked at him for a while and many awful thought began to swim around her head again.
She started to hate him, and hate him, and hate him even more that she couldn’t ba-re to stare at his gorgeous face.
She grabbed the phone with detest, still staring at Liam and then she returned her gaze to the screen.
She unlocked her phone and dailed the first individual number.
Liam raised his head when he heard the phone start to beep slowly.
” When he picks the call. This is what you will do. First, Tell him you found the Pa-ssword and Let me hear him speak and then I’ll figure out who the real culprit is” He said.
Mitchell returned her gaze to her phone and the call was finally answered.
” Hello..” She said, stretching it to her ears.
” Hey Elle!. How’s work going?.” He said, loud and clear in the dense room.
” Fine.” She replied breathlessly, while crossing her other arm un-der her armpit
” So..The pa-ssword?” He was quick to jump in
” I was…” She trailed off and looked at Liam who was grinning like a sweet devil. ” I was able to get the pa-ssword.” She stunted
The call went spare for a second and Ray continued to talk, not hiding his inner happiness.
” Wait?!. Really. That’s so brilliant!. Send the pa-ssword to me immediately after this call, okay?. It needs to get to Emperor as soon as possible.” He said.
” And what do i do afterwards?” She asked.
” Just do as i say, I’ll tell you the next option later.” He said and she cut the call instantly.
She turned to look at Liam and saw the satisfied look in his eyes. He began to step closer to her.
” Emperor?. Ray?. So you are working for them!” He hallowed and she kept sighing all the time.
He picked her phone and threw it inside his pocket.
” This phone would be on a little probation so you don’t get to communicate with those fools.” He said and Mitchell folded her hands, scoffing.
” You don’t need to ask anymore. You have seen it yourself. Just call the police so i can get arrested.” She said, rolling her eyes.
Liam laughed, tugging his front hair. He came forward and pat her head like a good kid.
” Police?. It hasn’t gotten to that. But My punishment wouldn’t be that easy.” He said and Mitchell glared at him.
He leaned himself to his table and folded his hands, sparing her that tense and cold looks.
” You are a big betrayal, Mitchell. Women…that’s how they are. Thank God i wasn’t as Dumb and empty brained like Emperor and his side chick.” He said.
” Do you want to punish me or not?.” She asked, snapping her lashes ha-rd at him.
” I want to punish you so badly, Mitchell. You have done the worst thing ever and Practically, you have lost my trust.” He said and she fell her shoulders tiredly.
She couldn’t believe this man. He had been here for over hours now, talking and instead of solving the terrible case at hand.
” You need Punishment, right. You’ll have it now.” He said.
He picked out his telecom and mentioned down the cleaning attendance.
The door to his office opened and a petite woman appeared in. It was one if the hardworking old staff.
At the look of the woman’s face, she looked scared because Liam hadn’t call her without her knowing her respective duty.
Liam drawed the woman closer and crossed his arm around her shoulder.
He then turned to look Mitchell.
” We’ll move to other stages but Let’s start with something simple and very..Very humorous.” He smi-rked and turned to the cleaner.
” Take off your apron, give it to her quickly.” He said and the woman gave a concerned look, as well as Mitchell.
” You can give her the apron. She’s been demoted, from a PA to a cleaner.” He smi-rked and Mitchell gave a very wide eyes.
” What!!” She screamed out of her lungs.
” You are not legible to disapprove this order. You must take it, as you see it ” He said.
The cleaner almost burst out laughing. She knew workers were promoted and demoted sometimes….
But this one had flew boundaries…Like…PA to a cleaner…?…it made her lost it completely.
She took out her apron, while covering her mouth and then she threw it towards Mitchell.
” Put on the apron.” He ordered.
Mitchell felt like she should tear up. This was worse than a punishment. This was bitter torture.
She took up the dirty old looking apron and tied it around herself before looking up at Liam’s eyes with tears almost dropping.
Liam grinned and took a picture of her with his phone.
” Awn. So Cute. That would be added to the Workers of the year calender.” He said and Mitchell was still trying to control her loose tears.
Meanwhile, The cleaner was beside them, laughing out her lungs.
She wasn’t laughing because Mitchell deserved it, Afterall, she didn’t know the back up reason.
She was only screaming with laughter because Liam was making it seem extra funny in a way that looks painful.
She covered her mouth when she saw he was about to talk again.
” So Mitchell, Your work now isn’t to sit in offices and receive fresh air. From now on, your duty will be to scru-b and sparkle the whole offices and toilet.” He said.
Mitchell fell her head, releasing her tears freely. She wanted to apologise but she knew he wasn’t the kind of someone ready to change his mind.
She palmed her eyes, not ready to listen to any words from him again.
” And one more thing, your salary is cancelled.” He said Mitchell raised her head to look at him.
” You won’t be receiving any salary for as long as it part of a punishment”
” How do you expect me to survive?!” She almost screamed.
” Obviously, you wouldn’t need to struggle to survive.” He said and Mitchell raised a confused brow at him
” You are now un-der my care. I have every feeling that when i leave you to return home, you’ll go back to my rivals. So as from now, you’ll follow me home and continue the usual punishment until i can sort things out.” He said.
Her plan came crashing down that way. She had thought that if she got the chance to leave this company at once, she was coming back with a bulldozer.
At that point in time, she felt completely helpless and dead.
” You can leave, Miss. You’ll still be paid even if you don’t work at all ” He said to the cleaner.
” Oh thank you so much, boss.” She bowed and ran out of the office excitedly.
He turned to look at Mitchell and he pinched her chin forward.
” This is just the beginning of my punishment, Mitchell. You haven’t cried yet. Soon, you’ll cry bloody tears.” He said and Mitchell gulped down hardly.

ROOFTOP.
Still at the romantic, set rooftops.
After hearing May’s reply, Emperor got stunned completely. His ears were still proving decisive.
” Liam. Liam is your husband?” He asked just to be sure and she shaked her heads willingly with a smile.
He crea-sed his brow, wondering what a sort of coincidence this was.
He began to think within himself, if this was Liam’s own wife or she was just playing tricks on him.
Of course the uniqueness of their surname could tell that perhaps, she was saying the truth.
But he wondered again, what if this was part of Liam’s plan to get him as well. What if he had sent his wife to come spy on him as well.
By his effective research, he knew who may was. She was calm, gentle and had no bad side to really speak about.
Even by her round face, big eyes and tiny voice. Everything spoke heavenly and pure.
He knew she would have been sneaky with the topic of “her husband” if actually she came here for a plan.
And perhaps, she would have been the one trying to catch his feelings instead of him, in order to carry out her supposed plan.
At then, he cla-ssified her innocent. Perhaps, she had collided in his place to seek for a job and, that, was only a fortune for him in disguse.
This was the best way to get hold of liam by the ne-ck, by taking his se-xy adorable girl.
It would be easier for him since he could sense the sort of attra-ction she had started to feel towards him and the hatred she felt towards Liam.
” Is there anything wrong?” She asked, bringing him down to earth.
” Oh. Nothing.” He smiled and sipped out of his drink, menancing his eyes at her se-xily. She had suddenly gotten more beautiful at a blink of an eye.
” What happened to your cheeks?” He asked, palming the sp-ot behind her ear, carefully.
” Oh. It was just a slight slap” She giggled and Emperor wide-ned his eyes.
” Wait, Your husband slapped you??” He asked and May gulped. Did she say that too loud?
” It was only a mistake.” She said.
” It couldn’t be a mistake, may. This Slap is visible enough to have not been mistaken.” He said and she sighed, lowering her head.
She had decided to forget about the slap but thinking about it now was making her feel hurt double times.
” Come May.” He said and brou-ght her up from her hands.
He made her sit on his legs and May felt extremely awkward. She had never sat on any Man’s leg before, including her husband.
She didn’t want to feel disrespectful to disapprove his “kind” gesture.
He brou-ght out a bruise moisturiser balm and applied it on her tender cheeks very gently and smoothly.
May stared at his perfect eyes and her heart began to hit hardly against her che-st.
He stared back at her and grinned se-xily.
” This would make the scar go away before tomorrow.” He said and she smiled shyly.
” Thank alot.” She said and he kis-sed her ear playfully before pulling her up.
They began to rest on the deck, staring down at the large skyscra-per.
” Like i said, May. Liam, is not the right person for you. You can’t sit and watch him treat you this eay cuz this is body abuse.” He said and May pouted her li-ps.
” What am i supposed to do now?” She asked worriedly.
He pulled her closer and made them cuddle.
” May sweet. Follow your heart. Who does your heart seek for?. Who do you think about?. Who makes you smile the most?. Who cares for you the most?…” He trailed off and stared at her eyes. ” I want you to think about this question effectively and tell me who comes to your mind.” He said.
May smiled after noticing all he just said corresponds with him.
” I…I..think its you. It you i seek for” She said hypnotised.
” Really?. Me?” He laughed. He wasn’t suprised, but he hid his expression. He knew she would definitely choose him.
” Yes. You, Emperor ” She said and hug-ged his body ti-ghtly.
” I’m sorry about saying this but even tho I’m married, i still feel indifferently about you. You are the nicest person ever and i like you alot like crazy .” She said and Emperor hug-ged her in return, grinning inwardly.
This was it. The beginning of the ending. It would be heavy war soon, He was ready to finish it till his last.
” It okay, May. It’s okay. I feel the same way towards you too.” He said and his shoulder fell in victory.

LIAM’S CAR.
Liam stopped his car at the side of the road. It was drizzling and it was staining the car gla-ss.
He sighed and turned to look at Mitchell.
” Tomorrow. You’ll take me to Ray’s hideout. I’m sure you know where he stays”
” And what do you wanna do about it?” She asked Liam chuckled.
” To cut it short, It’s gonna be bloody and Gruesome.” He said and it was Mitchell’s turn to laugh.
” Like you have the strength to fight uhn, Pretty boy?” She asked and Liam glared at her. He didn’t want to add to her punishment
He diverted the topic instantly.
” I want you to please..BEHAVE when you get to my house.” He said and Mitchell scoffed inwardly.
‘Bahave?. When all she wanted to do was to show her own payback on his wife?’ Ha!. Too late.
She folded her hands.
” Yes. I’ll Behave.” She scooted and Liam continued driving.
MANSION.
The boss and Mitchell stepped into the mansion after long hours of driving and the load of traffic.
May came out of the kitchen with a glove worn on both hands.
” Liam. You are home.” She said in excitement.
She knew every night would end bad because of him but she was always happy to see him after a long day.
She was taken by suprise after she stared at the other lady he had brou-ght home.
” Hey may.” Mitchell waved, grinning ha-rd at her and May quickly ignored her.
She turned to her husband, following him side to side as they strolled up the stairs.
” How was work today?” She asked but she received no reply. ” Guess what…I’m preparing your best meal!.” She hug-ged his arms happily but Liam still remained void.
” Don’t worry. We ate together…at the restaurant.” Mitchell chipped in and May looked at Liam.
Liam, noticing his wife long stares finally spoke out;
” Yes. We decided to eat at the restaurant just for a night” He said coldly and May pouted. He had never eaten outside with her, neither has he tasted any of her meals.
” Um..Do you want me to do anything else for you?” She asked and Liam stopped.
” Take her to her room.” He pointed and May nodded quickly.
She took Mitchell to the usual guest room and then she turned around swiftly,back to Liam’s room.
” Knock knock!” She knocked and Liam came up to look at the interruption.
” What are you doing here?” He asked un-bu-ttoning his shirt and May got into his room quickly.
” Why is she here?. Mitchell” She asked, folding her hands.
” She will be here until i know that I’m safe to let her go.” He said and she got confused.
Safe?. She wondered what that sneaky girl had done to have brou-ght her dear husband trouble.
She didn’t want to ask too much questions about it in order not to get him angry.
” Um..Liam. Please come try out my meals for just this once, Please. I can cook, the food are nice.” She begged, palming her hands.
” Are you deaf!. Huh?!. I said I’m not hungry. Or are you going to for-ce the food into my mouth?!” He yelled, causing her to stagger back in fear.
She thought of another idea and smiled widely at him.
” I have an idea. Okay. I’ll just..Put in a microwave for you to eat tomorrow morning.” She said and Liam grabbed her wrists fiercely.
” May. May!. Don’t give me warmed food or I’ll for-ce the whole wastebin garbage down your throat. Do you hear me!” He yelled and May pouted.
He didn’t like her or anything she sacrificed to do for him. She felt hurt.
As she tried leaving, She remembered what Emperor had told her that day and her nerves grew.
She turned to look at Liam.
” Liam. I think you should know this.” She said and Liam turned to stare at her, glaring at her to hear her next annoying food suggestion
” I don’t feel happy with this marriage anymore. It’s not the kind of dream marriage that i ever hoped for. So..” she walked closer and held his arm.
” I want to start afresh, Liam. I think since we can’t continue to love eachother as normal couples then we should go our separate ways.” She said and took out her ring, placing it on his palm.
Liam looked at her with the face of ‘ What exactly is going on in here?’
He didn’t expect her next action coming and he was feeling scared again.
” You have been partially a good husband, at least those times you still cherished me. I have been a good wife all my life. But You can have this ring. Ion need it anymore. I’ll leave tomorrow.” She said and kis-sed his li-p softly.
She gave him a faint smile before leaving the room.
