Lahat ng Kabanata ng Liam (Book 2): Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Given the thought and mixed emotions of Seema discovering my pregnancy had just made it worse. I didn't want her to know about the baby, and never. She may be my grandmother, but something about her feels off. That is what Effie felt about having a sixth sense, but she has been through a lot with her. It's not emotional to have this type of empathy. And Devin, something about him made the back of my neck hair go up. Whatever affected Liam that day on the cruise is affecting me too.That guy gives me the creep.I had myself stayed at Effie's house while I cleared my head. I would've done that at home, but I decided to lay low here for a while. Effie said everybody went out. Her sister is at work, and Ares is with Logan and the boys. Rex and Don are at the shop. Seth is hanging out with Terry, still pasteurizing him. The poor man. I don't know why Terry won't give him the uppercut. He got a soft spot for Seth. Logan and Ares are baby-shopping for the first time. Effie wants Logan, for t

With one last sigh, I hear him mumble as if he curses, then proceed. "I'm good at computers, practically an expert since I first experienced my computer at four. It was one of those kid-safety laptops for learning. Getting up, I taught myself coding and hacking, which sometimes led to trouble. Only as I was older, I was careful. Until trouble came back when I hung out with this youngster, Andy Lorenzo."I could hear the timbre of his voice mentioning this guy Andy. Liam continued his story. "I was thirteen, and he was one of those popular kids that gets everything. He was brought up by his older brother, Randall Lorenzo; his friends call him Randy. Andy and I were cool, hung out, drank, and kissed girls while going high. I would be in trouble with my parents, and Logan would see me differently. And so, one day, Andy asked me to help him release his brother from prison. So, I hack into the system and put out all the prisoners. Once I discovered the real reason why Randy was put in pris

The following day I woke up minus one person. Liam's side is empty as I search to find him on the balcony with no shirt and just his sweatpants.I grabbed the oversized shirt above my thighs and went to him. His back turned to me as I wrapped my arm around his waist."Are you okay?" I ask, kissing his shoulder and laying my head against his back."I'm better than okay," he turned and pulled me into his chest, where I inhaled his savory scent. He tears apart, looking down at him. "How about you? Are you okay? How's the baby?"I smile. "You weren't that rough," I assure him.He released and sat on one of the balcony couches. He brushes his hair back and sighs. "This is a first for me. I've been with countless girls, and this is the first time I gave my heart to someone.""Well, you ain't the first one, buddy," I say, not being zealous about the fact he has bedded with different women and sat next to him. "I had crushes when I was younger but never engaged in a serious relationship. With

"Baby, hello earth to Lily."I blinked and then looked at Liam, who was stuffing his face with the pizza we had ordered from Costco before heading back to my house after shopping."Sorry, just daydreaming," I said and took a bite of my pepperoni dab with Tapatio sauce. I'm pregnant, so what? "Papa Wayne is redecorating the nursery room since we are having a baby boy."Liam is munching on his pizza before drowning it in his soda drink. "A boy," he smiled. "I can't believe we are having a boy.""So is Athena.""I can't wait to hold him."I chuckle.I lean back against my seat and gently rub my round belly. After the party, Effie organized, with Terry's help, to set up the gender reveal. All decorations were blue and pink, from balloons, confetti, party cups, and desserts. She had ordered two round white cakes which had the color of Athena and I's baby gender. We each had the cake; Athena and Rex held a knife as I did with Liam. Once it was ready to cut the cake, blue metallic candy conf

I spent most of the day with Mark and Hannah before they went back home.I had fun with my sister-in-law as we talked about babies, cute clothes, and more about babies. We are just two young women ready to be mom's well. I am, and Hannah is not there yet. I mean, she has four babies on the way. I am still determining how they are going to handle it. But I'll be praying for them, especially Mark.After Mark dropped me off at home, I noticed Terry's Ferrari parked in front of my house. I took a step when I found something red on the floor. Carefully crouching down, I tapped the red liquid on the tip of my finger and rubbed it. It has the scent of melted iron.Blood.The blood leads a trail of it to the entrance of my backyard. As curious as I am, I followed it as if I handled it myself. My parents aren't home, and I was about to head to Effie's house after I changed, but this seems more important as to why Terry's car is here and blood trails.I stood In front of the pool house and saw
