The host nearly went mad with joy " 800 thousand trillion dollars going and gone"
Everyone claps
Liam smirks and watches the auction workers wraps the jewelry and hands it over to Scarlett.
She takes it smiling dryly trying to stop the trembling of her fingers ...
" Let's go " he mutters and they walk out majestically all eyes was on them .
Caspian was glued to his seat unable to go after them ... He felt like entering a hole and never come out .
Within few minutes the news about Liam's bid was trending all over social media , it pushed the rumours of him cheating on Camilla away .
👤 Oh my gosh , I don't even know that amount of money exist at all
👤 Just how rich is this guy , if he can buy necklace at this amount then how much is his net worth
👤 I'm crying right now ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Camilla is so lucky !
And many more comments ...
TORONTO, CAMILLA'S VILLA
She is jumping with excitement, the brightness on her face can light up the entire street .
Kathrine comes downstairs confused " what happened girl tell me the good news "
Camilla shows her the trending news on her phone.
" I can't believe this kat , Liam still loves me " she said hugging her tightly
Kathrine laughs and hugs her back " I'm happy for you to darling, he is finally coming back to his senses"
She smirks " exactly, now Scarlett can die of embarrassment "
" And jealousy "
Camilla laughs " you're right kat , this calls for a celebration.... I can't wait for Liam to give me the earrings and necklace in a romantic way "
" Yes , make sure to get it on camera so you can post it " Kathrine said
She twirls around happily " I would never forget that, I'm the happiest girl in the world " .
At a diamond store , Yvonne walks up the front desk majestically.
" Hi good day ma'am what do you like to buy or sell " the attendant said smiling
Yvonne smirks and gently drops the diamond pendant on the desk .
" I want to sell this"
The attendant gasps and raise the necklace up to inspect it , the pendant was made of real and rare diamond, rumours say the diamond is not from this planet.
" Oh my gosh ma'am, no problem we will buy it immediately pls wait let call my boss " the attendant said and leaves in excitement.
" I'm so going to be rich " Yvonne mutters smirking and brings out her phone to take one last photo of it when she saw the news headline about Liam bidding.
Everyone was talking about Liam's never ending love for Camilla and how they were expecting a wedding soon .
She frowns " so it's no longer that brat sister of mine but the white lotus * groans* fuck all this "
Yvonne grabs the necklace and dashes out of the shop angrily.
" Manager the person is right -- huh ?" The attendant said confused, Yvonne just disappeared into thin air
The manager frowns " I've had enough of your jokes , go back to work "
He storms back inside.
ALBERTA, MAJESTIC HOTEL
Caspian is punching the wall angrily trying to get the picture of Liam's smirk out of his head .
" That son of a bitch , I'll end him and I mean it , as if competing with me in the business world he is making my plane girl avoid me " he mutters throwing another punch to the wall and his knuckles started bleeding.
Caspian sighs feeling his temper reducing. " Old man Fred Meyer is hosting a banquet next week , I hope that bastard will be there let me end him permanently "
He collapses on the bed , his blood stained the white bed sheets but he didn't care .
NOLDS HOTEL
Scarlett heads to her suite immediately not sparing Liam a glance it was like she couldn't wait to leave his sight .
" Miss blackwood"
Liam said stopping her halfway, she faces him slowly , her face was looking dull and it was somehow pale like she was sick .
He scans her face " are you okay "
She bows " yes sir , I'll like to freshen up now "
Liam frowns suspicious, she was acting way professional and it was weird
" Fine when you're done with that come to my office, let's summarize the the reports on the auction "
She bows again and leaves immediately.
He stares at her retreating figure trying to guess the reason of her sudden strange behavior.
Few minutes later , Scarlett freshens up and heads to Liam's suite, she looked a little bit better from before .
" Sir " she mutters looking around, the sitting room was empty and there's no way she will risk it and go to his bedroom again
" Mr Reynold, I'm here ! " She said a little bit loud , her legs were glued to the floor and it refused to make any movements .
Liam comes down from the staircase looking fresh , the scent of soap still lingered on him and his hair was somehow wet and it dropped down almost touching his shoulders .
° f+k why us he making things difficult for me " Scarlett screamed inwardly trying not to stare at his biceps that was visible from his shirt .
" Sit down miss blackwood, the report is on my laptop" he said
They sit down and he brings out his laptop and shows her the report.
Scarlett moves closer to the laptop but was conscious of Liam who was sitting next to her .
" Oh just this auction alone skyrocketed our stocks , this is good news " she said smiling
Liam leans back on the couch " well you can call it good news "
She smiles nervously and stared at the laptop like it was the only interesting thing .
" I want you to have this, consider it as work benefits from this trip " he said giving her a well wrapped box
Scarlett looks at him surprised, she never thought that he would consider giving her a gift after buying necklace that Worth trillions for his girlfriend.
" Oh thank you sir " she said and takes it while resisting the urge to jump on him or unwrap the gift.
He nods and stands up to leave
" Errm sir when are we going back to Toronto" she said smiling nervously
Liam stops and faces her " first thing tomorrow morning "
" What tomorrow morning!!!!! "
He looks at her confused " yes is there any problem "
Scarlett chuckles still nervous " what no problem at all *pauses* it's just that I want to see a very good friend of mine today before we leave"
He eyes her suspiciously " good friend uh "
" Yes sir "
Liam scoffs " fine you're free to go , if you're not back before tomorrow just know I'm leaving you here "
She squeals happily " thank you sir , I'll be back before you know it "
He ignores her and leaves
" Yes yes yes " Scarlett said holding her screams of joy, she leaves the suite dancing.
Liam watches her retreating figure from where he has been standing since .
Who the hell is this person she is so excited to see , it has been long he saw her happy like that .
" So someone else is making her happy like this , I thought I'm the only one who can do that " he mutters and brings out his phone calling his one of his bodyguard
Liam : Hans, you've work to do
Hans : what is that sir
Liam : my employee, Scarlett, is leaving this hotel soon . I want you to spy on her secretly and give me information on wherever she goes to and who she meets
Hans : yes sir
Liam hangs up staring blankly on the screen .
Scarlett smiles happily as she steps out of the hotel , looking around for a taxi ..
" Aiden will be so surprised " she mutters signalling a taxi to stop , it stopped and she enters inside .
" Spring view avenue pls " she said wearing the seat belt
The driver nods smiling and zooms off .
Hans car followed them secretly, hia own car blending with others .
After few minutes of driving, they arrived at the destination.
Scarlett smiles trying to hold back tears as she stared at the place she once lived , the house never changed everything still looked the same .
Shs steps out and paid the driver , walking fastly to the front porch and rings the bell .
The door opens and Aunt shelby opens the door
" Oh my gosh " she screams and drags Scarlett inside.
Hans looked from his car window trying to understand what's going on , he leans back on the seat waiting for something to happen.
Meanwhile inside , Shelby is still screaming her lungs out while her uncle 'ken' hugs her
" Scarl bby this is a big surprise, my gosh " Shelby said hugging her again
Ken smiles " Aiden will be so happy to see you "
She looks around " yeah where is he "
Shelby leads her upstairs " he is sleeping, come see him "
Opening the door to his room , Scarlett finds Aiden asleep peacefully on the bed and it brought tears to her eyes .
" Baby " she mutters with shaky breaths and scoops him in her arms .
He stires and snuggles closer to her not opening his eyes
Scarlett pours kisses on his face calling his name softly " Aiden love , mommy is here "
His eyes snaps open and he sits up , staring at her in shock .
" Mom !!! "
She hugs " yes pumpkin I've missed you so much "
Aiden hugs her back almost crying
" mommy, mommy" he said cutely snuggling closer to her
She smiles and kisses his fire hear " mommy is here now okay " his cute baby voice was like medicine to her .
Hans groans exhausted , it has been four hours since she entered the house , and there are no signs of her coming outside back .
" I'm tired " he mutters and his belly growls
" And hungry "
He texts Liam updates about what happened.
NOLDS HOTEL
Liam sat on his study chair reading but his mind wasn't there , it keeps travelling back to Scarlett and the imaginary boyfriend he made up .
A text enters his phone and he checks it immediately, his eye widens as he read the message.
" She entered a house for more than two hours and hasn't stepped foot outside " he mutters feeling rage building in him
Liam💬 Send me the address now * he typed angrily almost breaking his phone screen *
Hans💬 yes sir
Hans sends the address to him asap and within seconds he was in his Porsche car on his way there .
In aunt Shelby's home , everywhere is lively they're talking happily while sitting down on the couch, Aiden is permanently glued to his mom's body .
" I can't believe you're looking like this scarl , Toronto is not treating you well " Shelby said scanning her face
She sighs and touched Aiden's soft and full hair " I'm surviving aunt , it's not easy but I'm thriving "
Ken sighs " you've even gotten thinner , I think it's best if you just quit the job and move back here "
" I wish I could but it's not easy " Scarlett said quietly
Aiden hugs his mom tightly, he is so not going to let her go anywhere without him and he means it .
Liam sighs and drummed his fingers on the car seat , he has been sitting down here since he arrived and Scarlett still did not come outside.
" What the hell is she doing inside or is she planning to sleep over in a guy's house"
He steps out of his car already impatient and storms towards the front porch
° I'm so going to break down this doo if nobody answers the door bell ° he thought and rings it
After some minutes he hears a tiny footsteps running towards the door
" A child " he thought confused
The door opens and Aiden looked at the tall man in suit standing at the door strangely with the same face of his .
Liam stopped breathing for a second and his heart permanently dropped to the floor.
His legs starts to fail him and he sways feeling weak , the little boy stared curiously at him .
" Who are you sir " he said in his baby voice
Liam felt his throat dry , he shakes his head multiple times trying to wake up from this impossible dream ... This boy looks exactly like no he infact a younger version of himself.
"Pumpkin who's there " Scarlett said walking to the door , she stops dead as she sees pale looking Liam staring in shock at Aiden who was still looking at him innocently .
" Mommy who is he " Aiden asks hugging her legs still staring at Liam
Liam shocked gaze meets Scarlett who was looking down on the ground holding cute Aiden protectively.
He stared at the baby he rejected even before he could enter this world .... His brown big eyes identical to his stared at him innocently.
" My S-Son " he mutters
Scarlett blinks surprised and a certain rage filled her before , he dares call Aiden he's son , what kind of bastard is he . Has he forgotten that he wanted to have nothing to do with her and Aiden even before he was born .
Before she could get what's happening a fist from nowhere kissed Liam's jaw followed by a fry pan landing on his head before he could react .
" Aunt shelby! "
