《Purchased Wife》Chapter 20: Simple
Advertisement
She woke up rubbing her eyes, trying to rub the sleep away. Looking around, she was still in the office. His office. Her eyes widened as she thought to herself:
Liam will kill for sleeping in his office. Did he leave and went home?
She sat from the couch, thinking she was alone. But she was not. He was sitting on the floor, his back resting against the window wall, working on his laptop.
He was wearing glasses which she has never seen him wear.
He said without looking at her, typing away on his MacBook, "Hope you slept well." He stopped and looked up at her. she asked: "What time is it?" He replied"7 pm."
She sat straight and asked, "Why didn't you wake me?" He looked back at his laptop and said"You were sleeping. I thought that it'll be better for you to rest. Considering what happened yesterday."
She looked at him. His tie off. Starting two buttons of the shirt were unbuttoned, exposing his tan muscular collarbones. The sleeves of his shirt rolled up to his elbows, showing off his veins and his bird tattoo.
His long thin slender fingers working on the keyboards. His thick black brows furrowed as he worked. His blue eyes were serious underneath those glasses. Nothing made him more attractive.
Without looking he asked"Hungry?" She nodded.
"Good. I already ordered."
A couple of minutes later, Liam went down to get the delivery and came back up. She looked at the food and brightly smiled to herself.
He asked, "Why are you smiling?" She looked at him and her smile left her face. She gulped but he kept looking at her for an answer. She replied," I love burgers."Biting her bottom lip, nervous to answer.

She sat on the floor eating quietly, with her burger in her hand. He sat opposite her. In front of her. Her heart racing as to why was he sitting near her.
Out of the blue, he asked: "Tell me a little about yourself." Not something she expected him to ever ask her. She stammered"L-Like What?" He shrugged and said"Anything" She remained in silence. He again asked, "What's your favorite color?"
"B-blue. I like blue."
After that, a comfortable silence falls between them as they devour their delicious burger.

Or maybe you will stamble randomly, on the most dangerous treasure of all, in the weakest province of all, in the weakest country of all, that is like you have guessed in the crapiest continent of all.But if you didn't, then how will you shine, how will you break free from the chains of fate, how will you become the role model of countless other juniors. If you have the same feeling I had when I first started this story, then the answer should have already been written clear on your mind, ""Wits and guts"", the one who said that if you have guts you don't have wits and vice versa, is but a pussy who couldn't do so.In this story, we will be watching as our MC Oniyama (name might be changed when he will rebirth) as he will go against society one more time, but this time on a much grander level than just games and morals, this time, it will be multiuniversal battle, we will see how fate try playing a foul out of him, but not succeding at anytime, until he finally transceed the law of reality.

Both my hands by her head as I stared into her eyes. Never in my life did I think I'd go for a girl younger than me, but she drew me in. Her innocence is holding me captive like my body with her and the wall. Her chest heaved brushing against mine with ever inhale. Her light brown eyes staring into mine, glossed over. My eyes started to blur yet I didn't miss the tears falling down her soft cheeks. A hand of mine reached up making her flinch hard. More tears fell down her cheeks so I lifted my hand more, but slowly and wiped her tears with my thumb. "I will never harm you Nevah. Never." I whispered and pressed a small, soft kiss to her lips before walking away. What have I done? ~~~~~~~~Mature⚠️Please read all story's in order -daddy at fourteen -my dads best friend -Xavier and Nevah
