CHAPTER FIFTY SEVEN

LIAM POV.

Waking up, I found myself alone in the room and I couldn't help but be worried, a hint of anxiety grip me.

Standing up, I stormed out, opening the door, just as the doctor was about entering.

"Where is she?" I asked. "Who?" He questioned. "Chelsea, which room is she in?" I demanded.

"She is not in yet,' He muttered, puzzled as he walked in. "She was supposed to be in the room, she was sleeping when we left," he tried explaining, his words only made my anxiety grow.

I couldn't bear the thought of her abduction in my head. Leaving the doctor, I headed next to the guard, asking her whereabouts, but the only thing they could say was she stepped out with their head.

I wanted more answers but they were reluctant and so, I could only beat the answer out of them.

After a while, the one I was currently choking finally spoke out. "Our boss saved you, she went to meet him," He confesses.

"And she followed the head to do so," The other, whose hands I was twisting, continued.

I wanted to punish them for not answering me, due to the fact they thought I was weak, to teach them a lesson, but then I heard her voice, my whole stop when I heard that,as I slowly turned to her.

She was yelling, I couldn't get the details because I was distracted by her, but I knew it had to do with stressing my injury.

She was biting her lips, something she only does when she wants to prevent herself from crying.

That was my girl, seeing how acting strong outside only made me proud, so proud that I decided to hug her as a result..

She didn't push me, neither did she respond, she only stayed there. Seeing her alright, I was finally calm to think, wondering which boss would help us.

Her mouth gave way to reply but a familiar voice spoke. It was only one person that had the audacity to speak to me, like I was a nobody.

"Mr. Matthew," I called out to Emily dad, as he pushed me away, wrapping his hand around Chelsea.

"Is he disturbing you?" He asked her, pointing to me. "For now, no," She replied, with her hand folded.

"Oh my darling, your hair, it's beautiful," He complimented. "Thank you," She replied, blushing and went on explaining the different color she would try in the future.

All ignoring me like I wasn't there. He decided to take her back to her room, pausing at the door when he saw the condition of his men.

"I will send you the cost of their treatment," He mumbled. "I'm sorry, they were hurt because I left," She apologies in a low tune.

"Oh child, you can never be at fault, the guards were meant for you and not him, if you had injured them, then it won't be a problem but him," He sneered, glaring at me.

I don't understand where the hate was coming from, we already had a mutual agreement about Emily's marriage with Kelvin.

More importantly, what was this special treatment he was giving Chelsea, he even tuck her back in bed, patting her head till she began feeling sleepy.

A kiss on her head sent her off and once her eyes were close, his fatherly look was replaced with a harsh glare towards me.

"We need to talk," he demanded, dragging me out with him.

CHELSEA POV

I don't remember much, one minute I was having a good conversation with Mr. Matthew and somehow, he made me buy the idea of sleeping..

Walking me to the bed and making sure I was covered. When I opened my eyes, it was dark. Liam was sitting by the window, his mind seemed to be deep in something.

"Do you need hell?" He asked, not looking at me but I knew he was talking to me. He seemed really angry about it or was it irritation, I couldn't tell.

With my mind fix on him, i hadn't watch where I was going, my leg paying the price as I hit hard on a stand.

"Ouch," I groaned and in an instance, he stood close to me, his hands lightly grip mine.

"Are you alright?" He asked, his eyes scanning me, till he landed at my feet. "Why can't you be careful?" He questioned, lifting me up and placing me gently on the bed.

"Is it not you, why did you had to stay so far and look all trouble," I argued, not wanting to take the blame for my own clumsiness.

"I'm sorry," he apologies immediately as he massage my feet. "Better," He asked, which I nodded to, while looking away.

My attention was now drawn to the door, as it seems there was someone spying on us..

A closer look and I saw it was Natalie, dressed up as a nurse while she stared at us.

She was glaring downward, when I followed the gaze, I found her staring right at his hands on my feet, the jealousy steamy in her eyes and I felt the desire to push her more, just because now I have the upper hand.

He soon stop and she felt relief, she was waiting for him to look up, as if hoping he would notice her..

Not wanting that to happen, I pulled Liam toward me, having him seat with his back against the door.

"Can you just stay like this?" I politely requested, knowing he would not refuse. I decided to position myself opposite him, just the way he looked at me got her irritated, the frown showing on her lips.

I wanted to kiss him but doing it suddenly would make him suspect, Liam was smart and very good at adding thing up. It would be embracing if he got to know I was doing this out of jealousy.

And while I thought of means to slowly seduce him, he came close to my face, one hand slowly resting on my cheek, while the other on my lips, caressing it.

"May l?" He politely asked. "I can't let you use me if you want," he slowly whisper. "Huh," I mumbled.

No, it couldn't be that he figured it out or could it and should I take use of this opportunity.
