Chapter 40

• " Home sweet home " Carla muttered as she dragged her box in. The house was dark and quiet which meant Jenny wasn't home. She went straight into her room to have a nice, warm shower. Liam didn't call her once during the journey back home. What was wrong with the guy anyway? Wasn't he supposed to call her?? Carla thought and glared holes into the floor of the bathroom. She then decided to pay him a surprise visit to his company the next day. He knew she would be home today but didn't call to ask how her journey was like lovers do. Ugh! So bad of him, she thought irritably. You're not real lovers, a voice in her head said which made her all the more annoyed with him. So true but he should have at least played his part of a loving fiance, they would be getting married soon anyway, even if it was a fake marriage, she threw back. She changed into a pair of joggers and hoodie and settled down comfortably on the couch for hot tea. A knock on the main door intruded her nice time alone and she looked really pissed. She placed the tea carefully on the table and got up with a soft curse. It must be Jenny, she thought as she walked over to the door. An insult was on the tip of her tongue but it died down when she opened the door and saw who it was. Liam, the man in her dreams but he was the last person she expected to show up. She thought it was Jenny so she was about to haul insults at her for not calling her too.
• " Missed me so much that you're shocked to see me, Bella? " He whispered and let himself in. He practically filled the doorway with his huge body.
• Before she could utter any word, he carried her in his arms and her legs immediately wrapped around his torso. Her hold on his neck was so tight that she almost choked him.
