The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 46

As she was pulled in to a rock hard chest, Ciara gasped in shock. At first she was scared and confused as she couldn’t figure out why Liam’s respectable subordinate would behave in that manner. But soon found the embrace familiar, this man even had a familiar scent. Familiar to the man she shared a bed with, yep her husband.

She slowly raised her head up to get a clear view of the man who was currently hugging her, only to replace Liam smiling at her. His eyes were tender, filled with love and affection. But under all of that, fear was well hidden, it was buried deep in is heart. What he feared the most was Ciara leaving him, he thought she has given in to Wilson’s demands and was here to dump him.

He buried his lips in to hers, giving her no chance to speak. He thought she would make things hard for him and probably push him back but to his surprise, she kissed him back, she even hugged him by his neck.

‘Does this mean that she’s here only because she missed me and not for breaking up with me?’…

Liam thought to himself , then tried to ease up the burden that has been weighing on him the whole day.

“Hey didn’t we say that we are keeping a low profile, what is this now that you doing in front of your subordinates?what would they think of me?”

“Well I’m claiming what’s mine, besides you have been trending so some people do know about us. Don’t you think it’s now time?.”

After the stunt that Wilson pulled on his wife, Liam now didn’t care about keeping his marriage a secret. He was now determined more than ever, to protect his marriage, and if people know about it no one will dare try to sabotage it and even if they do, he’d make sure to teach them a lesson they’ll never forget.

” I guess you are right, and probably your family has found out about it, what did your parents say about me.” now that it had registered to her that people are aware or are suspicious of their relationship, she got scared, she was dejected. Coming from a rich family herself she knew how picky influential families are when it comes to relationships. She was aware that there was a huge possibility that they wouldn’t accept her given how they had been organizing blind dates and parties with a lot of single ladies for him and that’s what she feard the most and was part of the reason why she wanted wheir relationship to be kept a secret. Now she has to fight this never ending war with her in- laws and wasn’t sure if she was strong enough.

Liam noticed the panic written all over her face and tried to calm her down.

” Hey don’t stress yourself like that, my family wouldn’t do that to me, they are not like most families who only think of how their family would benefit from a union. They don’t care who I marry as long as that person is good for me and loves me the way I do if not more. Now tell me, do you love? “

Ciara’s face turn crimson red as soon as she heard that question, she had shown by her actions that she loved him and would occasionally use words to describe her love, but now that his question was this direct she just couldn’t come up with anything but said. ” yes I do and you know very well that I love you dearly and deeply.”

It wasn’t a lot of words but was enough for Liam to keep him smiling for the entire afternoon and luckily there was only Ciara to witness it. Everyone who saw him like that would think something was definitely wrong with this usually indifferent, aloof unapproachable CEO. They finally reached his office and sat down on the couch.

“You know my mom would like to meet you tonight, she wishes to see the kind of person you are and not learn about you from the internet.”

These words really touched Ciara’s heart, if what Liam was saying was true, it meant that Maggie was actually giving her a chance to prove herself. A chance for her to represent herself the way she really is and not the false rumors that were spread across the internet.

She had mixed emotions, part of her respected Maggie for that but also another part of her was panicking, she wasn’t sure if Maggie would love her true self or would dislike her more than what the netizens had portrayed her to be. All of these emotions didn’t go unnoticed by Liam, who had been observing her reaction and every facial expression she’d displayed.

” Don’t you worry, I’ll be by your side through it all, besides my mother would never cause any unnecessary problems for you. If she doesn’t like you, that’s also OK, you don’t need to worry about it as my love for you is all that matters. Plus you will not be seeing each other much as we don’t stay in the same house as them. “

Knowing that Maggie was a not troublesome person put Ciara at ease. Although she couldn’t control how other people would receive her, she still wished that the whole Jones family would accept her. She would really love to be part of the family but if that doesn’t happen that’s also OK. Like what Liam said, all she needed was his love and companionship.
