Chapter 37 - STAND BY ME

" That was fucking awesome, sweetheart!" he said. I am glad that I made him happy. When he got in the shower, I felt like he was stressed. 

" Is everything okay, Liam?" I asked him as I turned off the shower. 

" Yea, everything is fine baby girl."

I didn't believe him. He is hiding something. I pressed him to the wall and cupped his face with my hands. "My love, please tell me what is troubling you." 

He sighed and started opening up." I feel like I'm losing it, sweetie. Three of them ganged up against me. I have no idea how to fix this. And I can't confess this in front of my men. It would weaken their spirit."

It was hard to watch him like this. He looked so depressed. Then it hit me. The real reason for his trouble is me! My father must be plotting against Liam now and I'm the only reason for this. Tears started to flow down my cheeks. 

" Hey, why are you crying, sweetie?"

" Because of me, you are facing this. I should have gone with my father."

He brushed away my tears with his fingers gently. " Are you mad? I still have a chance to win only because of you. You are a blessing to me, Hannah!"

" Really? But how?" 

" Sweetie, as long as you are with me, Patterson can only make calculated moves. Because he wants you back and you being on my side is the biggest disadvantage for him. So you are the only thing who is holding me up still."

I felt relieved that I wasn't his obstacle. I love him so much and I never want him to suffer because of me. I rested my head on his chest and wrapped my arms around him.

"Sweetheart, There will come a time in the future when you get to know some surprising things. At that time, will you be on my side?" 

I felt betrayed by his question. Why does he think that I would leave him? After all that we have been through, he feels this way?

" I can never leave your side, Liam. You are my world now. I'm not able to think about anything else except you. What good would it be for me if I leave you? I would rather be dead-"

He pressed my mouth with his hand to make me stop talking. " Don't say it. Never even say it as a joke. You are the best thing that has happened to me. Even the thought of losing you terrifies me."

My eyes started welling up again, but it was the tears of joy. " I love you so much, Liam," I cried. 

" I love you too," he said and carried me up to the bathtub. He placed me in the water and he got inside the tub. " Now I'm going to show you how much I love you," he said.

" Wait a second! Can I go shopping with Cece? I am running out of things to wear and I'm bored of shopping online."

" You go wherever you want sweetheart," he said while he got on top of me and parted my legs widely. He got in and started moving his hips.

The water in the tub started splashing outside the tub as his pace got harder. I wrapped my legs around his torso and pulled him even closer to me. 

I couldn't suppress the moans which were coming out my mouth. " Liam..." I wailed.

" I'll not stop until you call out my name ten more times," he said. 

" You are so wicked..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was very good to be in a mall after a long time. Ever since I met Liam, I stopped interacting with the outside world. I had to shop online for things. It was fun at the beginning, but online shopping sucks! You order one thing and it comes out as a disappointment. 

But something feels strange today. Everyone is staring at me weirdly. I don't know what's wrong with everyone today.

" You have got love bites in your neck," said Cece who was walking beside me. 

" What? So that's why everyone is staring at me!"

Cece started laughing. This is embarrassing! I should have begged Liam to spare my neck. But he will definitely not listen. Once he gets wild, I feel completely powerless in front of him. If I tell him to slow down, it just triggers him and goes even faster than before. 

" Don't worry. We will go to the clothing store first and a scarf to hide your neck," she said. 

As soon as I entered the clothing department, I went to see the dress section. " I was literally dying without a proper knee-length dress with perfect fitting," I squealed. 

" I'm quite surprised that you are looking for dresses. I thought you would be trying out sexy lingerie that would turn on Liam even more."

I scowled at her and continued to search for a salmon pink color dress. But the closest pink that I got in my size was coral pink. Oh god, it sucks to be small sometimes. I cursed myself and took the dress to the dressing room.

I got inside the cubicle and removed my dress which I was wearing. Just then I heard someone walking outside the cubicle. At first, I didn't bother about it. I thought someone else was getting in the next cubicle.

But as I looked down the floor, I could see the shadow of a person standing outside. Maybe it's Cece waiting outside for me. I put on the coral pink dress and opened the door.

" Cece, how do I look..." I screamed in horror as I saw the person who was standing in front of me. It was Keith MaCadie. How did he even get here?

I tried to close the door but he was too fast. He got inside the dressing room and locked the door. " What the fuck are you doing? " I yelled. 

I tried to move away from him but he started manhandling me. He pinned me to the wall and gagged me with a piece of cloth. I wasn't even able to make a slight noise. 

" You left one of your shoes in the Prince's castle, Cinderella," he said and grinned at me viciously. I wasn't able to move a muscle as he traced his fingers over my bra and fondled my breasts.
