Liam's povI tried to tiptoe into the house this night again, I was so careful not to make a sound because Asher would be furious if she saw me coming home so late again. We had been fighting about my home coming late for weeks. Lucy always has her way of keeping me at her place longer than I intended. I was so tired that all I wanted was to get into my bed, but I knew I couldn't avoid the inevitable confrontations.I gently opened the glass-paneled golden door of the sitting room, with the intention of sneaking into the bedroom and sleep. At least, I would save the argument for tomorrow. But to my surprise, Asher was standing right in front of the door as if she had heard my footsteps. "Welcome, you're home late,"she said coolly. I almost jumped out of my skin. I wasn't expecting her to be awake at this hour. Usually, she should be sound asleep by now."I called your personal assistant, and she said you left the office quite early today. But now you're coming home at this ungodly h

Lucy's povI desperately tried to think of a way to get Stanley out of the toilet without Liam finding out, but my mind was drawing a blank. I refused eye contact with Liam, and hummed quietly to myself several times. I felt sorry for Stanley for the heat that he must be enduring as it was over four hours. The toilet window is very small for enough ventilation. My worry made it hard for me to be calm as I was just thinking of a way to get him out but he would surely pass through the Living room before he could exit.Liam could tell something was off about me, and he kept asking what was wrong. But I just kept telling him that I was fine. Because how could I tell him that a man slept over at my place, and that I had been so drunk that I didn't even remember what happened? "I need to rest in the bedroom," Liam said ."I am tired of being ignored, you've been acting strange since I got here.""Em…em" I stammered, not sure of what to say. My pulse raised as I struggled to control my quive

"Thank God you got here in time," the doctor said to Asher, his voice heavy with relief. She had cried her eyes off, but now she felt a little relief. Just moments ago, she had feared the worst for Liam. He had been so still, his pulse so faint, that Asher had been afraid he might have lost him. But the doctor's words gave her hope that perhaps, her husband would be okay."It wasn't just the fall that caused his collapse," the doctor continued. "He has low blood pressure, his blood pressure has drastically dropped below normal and we will need to give him a close monitoring" Asher's heart sank. Different thoughts ran through her mind at the thought of low blood pressure. She cried silently, tears streaming down hisface without a sound. Just as the doctor was about to say something, the door flew open and Liam's parents rushed into the room. His mother was shouting, "What did you say happened to my son, Asher?" Hot tears burned her cheeks. Liam's father, Dr. Xavier was trying to cal

Liam's pov"He just opened his eyes," Asher yelled, running out of the room. Although I couldn't see clearly, I recognized her voice.I tried to sit up but the kind of headache that I got made me fall back to bed.I began to wonder what was happening as I heard noises outside the room and many footsteps running into the room. My head was blank, I couldn't get what was happening. I wanted to sit up again and look around, but my body felt weak and heavy. Then I heard my mother's voice running inside the room and calling my name. "Liam" she called, her voice filled with excitement. I wanted to respond to her, but my mouth felt dry and my tongue felt like lead.She rushed over to me, grasping my hands in hers. I could see her clearly now, and I noticed my father and Asher's parents standing behind her. I saw an IV drip attached to my hand, and something like a blood pressure cuff on my arm, connected to a monitor.l was disoriented, trying to process all the information flooding my senses

"I'm keeping this baby Liam" Lucy said as she kept stamping her feet with determination and boldness.They had just returned from the hospital where the doctor confirmed Lucy's pregnancy. Liam felt completely at a loss, he was very confused about what to do.He had never planned to have a baby outside of his marriage, and the situation felt completely out of his control. But Lucy on the other hand wanted the baby and was determined to keep it."Lucy, please, we can't keep this baby," Liam pleaded, his eyes wide with desperation. But this only roused Lucy's anger, making fury roared through her mind as Liam's speak. She tried to calm her temper as the anger had seriously settled in her. "How can you even say that", she asked, her voice shaking as she spoke. "This is our baby, your baby" She said with frustration. "The last time I checked, your wife is not even pregnant, not to talk of having a child, so I'm not going to abort this baby" She said as she avoided looking at Liam.Liam
