Married To An Old Billionaire, In Love With His Son

Eve’s POV

The doctor assured us that my father will be well taken care of and he told us to leave since there’s something we needed to attend to ~ like work. He promised to inform me whenever it’s time to discharged my Dad, nevertheless; we could still check up on him. Which I’m definitely gonna do.

Liam drove the two of us to the office and he wouldn’t stop smiling while I was nervous about what’s gonna happen to us ~ regarding the stepmom and son stuff..

“Yes, I like you too and I’ll let it remain like that ” I said; yeah the least we can do is to let it remain at the point of ‘Like’, we can also lie to ourselves that the feelings we are having is a mere family bond.

“Wanna know why I am so happy?” He asked me instead..

“Why?” I murmured.

“Because I fell in love again shortly after Clara left me” He responded.

What? Love?

I cleared my throat nervously and rested my head on the car window.

“I know what you’re thinking” He said, I sighed and looked at him.

“Yes, you do” I muttered..

“Listen Even, you had no choice than to marry my father but you do not like him not even one bit but here we are, we like eachother” He said, I sat properly and looked at him.

“Let… let it remain like that, as time goes on.. the feelings will.. errrm fade away” I told him.

“Nahh it won’t, I love really hard Eve even when I’m supposed to learn from what Clara did to me” He glimpsed at me and smiled then he returned his glance at where he was driving too.

“Everything is going to be fine, you don’t have to worry at all He said, then he held my hand and it sent a very cold shiver down my vein.

“We have to be worried Liam. This is… forbidden” I uttered, looking at him and taking my hands off slowly. He glimpsed at me again but he stopped smiling this time.

“You said it yourself that you didn’t want to accept the fact that you may have feelings for me regarding our related family relationship” I continued..

“Yeah… I… To be honest, I don’t know what to do” He finally said, I continued looking at him worriedly, he didn’t say anything else. Obviously, we were both nervous.

We arrived at the office just after the recess period was over. Everyone greeted Liam and paid their usual respect. I also waved at my three closest colleagues before moving to our place of work but  I don’t know why all eyes were on us. When we were out of their sights, Liam tried to hold my hand while we were walking, I glared at him but he smiled. I shook my head and released my hand from his, I’m sure he understands what my cold gestured means. We can’t start anything or not just yet.

He cleared his throat awkwardly when we got to my own office;

“It’s good to be back here” He said and I nodded.

“I see we gotta lot of works to do, we might eventually need a P. A” He added.

Yeah, there was so many files on my table.. when I’m done with it, i’ld submit it to him for sorting as usual.

“So I’ll be waiting for you in my office” He smiled again. I watched him walk into his office before taking my seat.

Yet, I couldn’t bring myself to start working immediately. I placed my head on the table thinking about everything. Although I was glad that our feelings were mutual but what are we gonna do to it since I’m married to his father?  What about the people aware of my marriage, what will they say when they find out that Liam loves me and I do too? What about Mr Maya himself?

I sighed heavily then I tried to put aside the distressing thoughts. One thing I know, if it’s meant to be; it will be.

I switched on my computer and began to work.

When I was done with typing and formatting as usual, I stood up to go give him the files.

“Come on in Eve” He said before I could even knock on the door.

I walked in; only to see him at the small parlor part of the office, and he was holding two cups. He looked at me and smiled; I tried to avoid looking into his eyes, so i walked to his official seat to drop the file on the desk.

“I made coffee for us” He offered raising the two cups up.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Liam” I muttered his name as I came to meet him.

“Come on, you’ve been so stressed lately. Don’t try to turn me down just because we have butterflies in our belly” He said.

“Butterflies in our belly?” I chuckled a little.

“Have it” He stretched his hand and handed it over to me.

“Thank you” I told him as I received it and turned to go.

“It’s coffee and talk not, coffee and leave” He said, then sat on a armchair. He tapped his side.. beckoning me to come sit next to him.

I rolled my eyes a little before going to sit beside him anyways, then I sipped the coffee slowly..

“He doesn’t have to know” He spoke.

“What?” I stopped sipping and looked at him.

“He doesn’t have to know about us” He responded.. then continued; “When two opposite svx confessed their feelings to each other, do you know what they do?” He asked.

I was short of words.. so I just had to call out his name softly; “Liam”

He smiled as he tucked the fallen strands on my hair to the back of my ear.

“You are not cheating on him, you are only following your heart. Besides, didn’t you say you wanna run away from him as soon as you have the chance to. You can just divorce him instead, he is no good for you; he has never been” He said, I was only gazing at him.. “You might have noticed it, I’ve been overreacting during the times I quarreled my father, it’s because I just can’t bare the way he treats you”

“Divorce” I muttered as I took another nervous sip “I wanna do that but it’s not as easy as you just mentioned it and it might as well bounce back on me…” He interrupted me

“No it won’t. Even the financial assistance you married my father because of, he has quitted and he literally showed you his true colours. What are you still waiting for? Anytime you may need help, I promise that i’ll always be there” He said with his hand on the left side of his chest.

“Yet I can’t just file a divorce or not just yet. Mr Maya is not even gonna sign it” I told him..

“Gosh I made you sign those stupid marriage contract paper” He regretted as he dropped his coffee on the table and sighed.

“Okay..” I said slowly, he glanced at me. “We won’t let him know” I agreed and he put on a smile.

“Let’s see how it goes, my father might even be the one to send youoff but mind you, I got your back always and you are mind” He said and I blushed secretly.

I allowed him to hold and fondled my hand then he moved closer to me, I wasn’t really nervous anymore instead I was happy that we are risking this lovey dovey decision.

We couldn’t stop staring at each other, he was still smiling at me and my cheeks redden. He gazed at my lips then leaned forward to.. to kiss me? We have forgotten about the coffee in my hand, so when he leaned over, it spilled on his shirt and distracted us.

“Oh My God” I exclaimed and dropped the coffee on the table.

“Don’t worry, I have my suitcase here” He chuckled and coughed awkwardly.

“Oh.. Okay” I smiled in a shy manner and stood up to leave.  “I’ll go to my office now” I told him.  I’ve only taken a step away from him when he gently pulled me back ~ making me fall on him, he reached for my lips and kissed me. Although, it was sort of sudden yet I reciprocated so passionately and then he took over.
