The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 18

While Ciara appreciated how Liam had her in mind, she could not help but feel sad. She was still trying to get to know Liam so she wasn’t aware of the position she had in Liam’s heart. What she feard the most was the possibility of Liam replaceing a more compatible candidate than her, what if he did the same thing Dex did deciding to leave her.

Noticing her doubts he decided to assure her, without the least irritation in his voice.

“Stop doing that, all those women are nothing compared to you. I’ve seen them all and would never sway to their direction. Pretentious women aren’t my favorite.” although he was hoping to comfort her, for a man who has never been in a relationship he fumbled.

” so what if they brought you new stock, with less pretentious ones, would you leave me for them?”

” No don’t say that, to me you are the best and no one come any where close to what you are. Besides I like exploring this relationship of ours, there’s still a lot to uncover in those layers . ” he said that while gently pulling her clothes. And that seemed to have done the trick as she had calmed down.

Liam insisted on dropping her off at home before driving back to the Jones residence.

When they got home, Liam organized someone to help Ciara with her meals as she was still an injured person who still needed care. Once everything was settled, he k**s her goodbye.

Ciara on the other hand did not forget to warn him.

“remember not to be in any kind of intimate position with those women,”.

He smiled showing that he had understood loud and clear.

With that Liam left the villa with his driver. It was a scenic drive to the Jones residence, as they traveled along the ocean, with pine-trees lined up in a row on the side of the road. As peaceful as it looked, he knew very well that there was still a hurricane waiting for him when he arrived at the destination.

With that thought in mind, his mood was definitely ruined and his frosty cold expression was plastered all over his face. Gone was the gentle looking man from moments ago.

As they drove toward the Jones residents, soon they were greeted by the sight of a beautifully decorated and lively house. One did not need to ask for them to know that there was a party happening.

As they parked the car, Liam’s suspicions were confirmed. All the guests were females and the only males present were all family members and two of Liam’s best friends. They are the ones who welcomed him as he got out of the car.

Their names were Finnick and Matthew, they all grew up together and formed a strong friendship since then. People came in and out of Liam’s life but these two proved to be loyal. They know his ruthless side as well as his not so gentle side.

They were with him as he took over many of his companies. They stuck together through thick and thin. That’s the reason why they called themselves the b***d Brothers.

They were all successful in their careers, with Matthew running a successful law firm, which specializes in both business law and criminal law. The Oliphant attorneys was one of the best law firms in the country and has won almost ninety-nine percent of their cases. Although he now rarely take any cases Matthew himself has never, not even once lose a case, that’s how good he was, And of course Liam enjoyed this benefit the most. Matthew was the bubbly and most lively one of the bunch.

Coming from a military background and his family also being influential within the Government, Finnick chose his career within the police department and was currently working as a chief officer in his station. He was the most reserved man in the bunch. He rarely went to clubs and would rather prefer a lounge with a private suite, that way he can relax and let loose.

Although these men were different in many ways, what they had in common though was their love for one another. Ohw right! And the fact that they were all single. This is exactly what Matthew and Finnick thought as they were still in the dark about Ciara and Liam being a couple even worse being married.

“yoh man! I see your mom put in a lot of effort this time to make sure his son gets a girlfriend”.

This came out from the ever so lively Matthew as he was looking at those beautiful women filling the party tent. Although these women were composed, they just couldn’t hide, the greed, infatuation and competition that they had. And all of this was very much visible to the three men not far from them.

“Sadly all her hard work will go to waste, I can replace someone I like on my own and of course don’t need all of this “. Still maintaining his poker face, he showed his disinterest in the whole event. He then decided to just enjoy the company of his friends through some drinks while waiting for food to be served.

They talked about the girls present for a short while, and got bored so they changed the to topic to the current news. Right then when their conversation was heated, the voice of a middle aged woman was heard not far from where they were.
