"Oh and…" Neveah said over her shoulders, "Tell your parents to leave that house if they don't want to be embarrassed, after all, I was the one who had been paying for the house and I have no intention to continue to do that any longer. Goodbye Liam, I hope not to see you again."
Neveah and Nathan walked back to the car, Nathan walking slowly behind Neveah, his long legs trailing behind her. He put his hands on his face and lowered his head, then began to chuckle.
At first, it was just a small and quiet chuckle but after a few seconds, it turned into a full blown chortle. Nathan bent over in laughter as his deep voice made Neveah blush. Neveah's neck shrunk deeper into her clothes as she asked, "Why the heck are you laughing, there's nothing funny in this situation. Stop laughing!"
"That's not a good way to speak to your 'boyfriend', kitten; people would think you're the man in the house." Nathan opened the car door and slightly nudged her inside but she refused and crossed her arms, "I can look for a taxi to take me back home."
"Now, now, we can't do that, I'm your boyfriend, it would be odd if your boyfriend leaves you to take a taxi back home."
"Stop calling yourself that! Just let me take a… What are you doing?!" Neveah froze when Nathan suddenly went closer to her and put his hands under her chin to raise her head up, "Quiet Kitten, the paparazzi are here, you don't want them to think we're faking it right?"
Without any warning, Nathan leaned in and pressed his lips to hers, catching her by surprise. Neveah's eyes widened due to the shock as she began to struggle, "Act well, kitten." Nathan murmured against her lips and then leaned in more, his body frame towering over hers. His hands tightened around her waist as he deepened the kiss and made her gasp.
The camera's clicked away; the shutters could be heard from where they stood… where they were kissing. They would undoubtedly be in the front page of the news after everything that had happened tonight. When Nathan slowly pulled away, he almost swooped in for another kiss when he saw Neveah's flustered expression; he clenched his fists and looked in another direction instead while using his tongue to trace his lips.
"That should convince them for a while; we do want to give them something other than the drama in there to talk about, don't we?"
Neveah's cheeks burned but she could not help but chuckle at the absurdity of the whole situation, Nathan's intention to divert the media's attention to both things that happened tonight, but more on the kissing situation right now was a very smart move, she would admit that. What mattered was how smoothly he did it, how many times did he kiss unsuspecting women?
"Don't look at me that way, you did it first and worse, you didn't allow me to respond. You pulled away immediately; I had to take that kiss back."
"Whatever, let's just leave. Although I'm pretty sure that those people over there would follow us." As they drove away, Nathan could not just contain his laughter, he looked like he was in a pretty good mood.
"Why are you laughing now?"
"I must say kitten, you handled your ex bastard boyfriend nicely, and your recording, that was impeccable! How did you think to have that at hand? Did you know they would try to frame you?" Neveah couldn't help but smile, a genuine one this time as she shook her head.
"It was probably instincts, Lily had always tried so hard to frame me ever since we were young, and I wanted to have some leverage with me since I decided to break away from them. Also, if my parents ever called me, which I know they will, I wanted to have proof since they'd rather believe Lily over me. Trust me, I learnt a thing or two dealing with my family, I just didn't have the chance to implement them previously. I have to be one step ahead now."
"Nathan… about… About my inability to give birth, will it… will it affect the plan? People would laugh at you for…"
"It doesn't matter; we'll cross that bridge when we get there. I'll do something about it so don't worry. So, what's going to be our next destination from here? Those people are still on our trail so we can't lead them to your house, how about we go to mine instead? They won't be able to enter due to the security guards there."
"Are you sure? I mean…"
"Don't think too much into it; we can also have some fun when we get to my house." Nathan winked at Neveah who blushed and crossed her arms over her chest, "Nathan you pervert!"
"Hahahaha~"

"Who is that man? Who the heck is he?!" Lily screamed in anger as she questioned Liam who shrunk under her angry gaze. He trembled slightly as she swiped away the vase on the table and it fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, the water inside stained the carpet and the flowers crumpled under her feet.
"Answer me Liam!"
"He is… was my former boss. The CEO of Thorne Inc., the most famous company in the country, he is rumored to be very arrogant and is hardly seen with any woman…"
"Then why Neveah?! Why that stupid slut, why is she the one he chose?! How was she able to get a man like him, I thought she would be down and ready to beg you to take her back! You should have gone to beg her when I told you to, you shouldn't have stalled now look at what happened!"
The look on Lily's face was scary; her brows were furrowed together which casted a shadow over her eyes, her once delicate looks was contorted into a mask of fury, her lips were pulled into a thin line that began to bleed at the sides, her fingernails were embedded in her palm as she clenched her fists.
"Lily…" Liam started but one look from Lily shut him up.
"I have to get him away from her, somehow… I could… I could seduce him. Ah yes, no man can resist my charms, I can actually seduce him." Lily suddenly smiled, her earlier fury disappeared like the wind, it was as if it was never there in the first place.
"Liam, could you do one little thing for me? Please?"
