《Say I do》chapter 30: I just don't want to
Advertisement
"Why are you here?" I asked, stomping my feet against the ground as my body shivers because of the cold breeze.
"To go sky diving" he replies "Why do you think?"
I roll my eyes at his sarcasm as I throw my leg over my door frame to stop him from entering my house. "I told you I wanted a divorce"
His hands roughly grab my leg, holding it in a raised position as I slap him in pain.
"That's what I should be saying" he snapped "do you know the mess you've left behind?"
I gulped. Maybe storming out dramatically and revealing our whole fake relationship to his family wasn't such a good idea. Specially since his grandfather got hospitalised.
"I-" I began to apologise but he released my leg, causing me to stumble back as he entered my house with 5 luggages dragging behind him.
"Why do you look like you're moving in?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at his luggages praying it wasn't true.
"Because I am"
No.
Hell no.
It hasn't even been a month since I walked out of his life so why is he back in mine? Jesus, can I not live peacefully for once.
I chase after Liam as he walks up the stairs heading straight into my bedroom.
"No"
"Yes" he mumbled, throwing himself into my bed and snuggling under my covers like he owned it. I sigh, watching him carefully.
"Liam"
"I'm tired" He said, cutting me off as he refused to listen.
"we agreed" I began hesitating before I forced the words out "to get a divorce"
"I'm tired Adeline" He repeated, coldly.
He refused to acknowledge the truth. The truth was, that night was the end of it all. He said we could never have a normal relationship when there's a million of things stopping us two and one of it was feelings. Why did he assume I had none for him and why did he admit he had none for me?
I let my emotions run wild because I was hurt deeply and I hurt him with me. How could I ever think this was actually going to work out? a relationship based on lies on top of lies and false hope.

I sighed. Yanking a few pillows under Liam and walking into the guest room. The least he could return is my pillows after stealing my whole bed.
I sigh, knowing well that I wasn't going to get any sleep tonight so I stumbled downstairs and into the kitchen grabbing all the ice cream I had before going into the living room and throwing myself on the couch whilst turning on the TV.
Just while I was about to enjoy my scoop of ice cream, I heard a creak from the stairs, scaring the crap out of me. I froze, terrified of ghosts coming after me. The whole month I made sure Adrian stayed with me and just when I thought my house was ghost free something decides to turn up to kill me.
Liam must have brought his whole ancestors with him.
I took a deep breath and turned my head slowly, reading all the prayers to save my ass only to drop my ice cream and scream alongside with the devil himself.
"holy shit!" I shirked.
"thats my line" Liam grunted, holding his hand against his chest.
"Why are you awake?!" I hissed, throwing my precious dropped ice cream at him.
He dodges them all except one which he smeers all over me whilst he sits down next to me.
I hate this jerk.
"I couldn't sleep" he shrugged.
I roll my eyes. Please, you just refused to talk to because you were tired you son of a b-
"I can hear you" Liam uttered, cutting me off.
I curse under my breath. I was getting to comfortable cursing him whilst I was alone.
I sighed. "How have you been?" I asked out of curiosity.
I watch his body shift until he was facing me. His eyes hooked into mine and for a split moment I felt my heart beat like it did before. I clenched my jaw and gripped onto my hand, refusing to give in. A month. It may have been just a month but I did everything to hate him so I wouldn't have feelings for him. Please don't come back.
"Homeless" he said "moneyless"
Moneyless? I hurt dearly.
"Grandfather got out of hospital and cancelled everything" he continued.
I just nodded slowly.

"And that's why you're here" I stated, slightly hurt that he only came cause he was a homeless jerk.
he didn't respond.
"I'm sorry" Liam mumbled "for everything I said that day"
I nodded. "yeah, me too"
We both sat in silence for a while, staring up at the ceiling like its the most interesting thing I could find. I fiddled with my fingers as the awkwardness finally kicked in. I was sitting with my soon to be ex husband at 3am whilst I was still madly in love with him but refusing to admit it whereas he has no feelings for me whatsoever.
My relationship status couldn't be more complicated.
"by the way" Liam suddenly spoke. He turned his head to face me as his mouth parted to speak only to be cut of by the doorbell.
wait what? who the heck rings the doorbell at 3am
I bravely walk towards the door, waiting for Liam to back me up but the idiot just casually sat on the sofa like me getting murdered doesn't affect him. I clear my throat, glaring at him before unlocking the locks ready to swing the door open. Why was I so brave to get my ass killed?
Just as I swing the door open Liam decides to drop the bomb shell on me "I ran away from Grandfathers house"
My jaw fell open as his words stab me at the exact moment his grandfathers appearance did too. my world came tumbling down as sheer panic washed over me. why does this happen to me?
"Mr Sa-"
"where is that grandson of mine?" He snapped, cutting me of rudely as he shoved me to the side to enter my house
"yes, do come in" I sarcastically mutter, slamming the door shut as I follow behind.
"how dare you" Grandfather hissed "how dare you run away from me and turn up with her?!"
excuse me you old hag, I have a name
"Adeline" Liam said.
I looked at him confused.
"her name is Adeline" Liam repeated as he stood up to face his grandfather "and shes my wife"
My heart sparked a little and a tiny blush appeared on my cheeks.
Snap out of it Adeline. We are meant to be getting a divorce soon
"wife?" Grandfather laughed "you mean the woman you paid to be in a relationship with?"
I gasped in shock. "actually your grandson hasn't paid me a cent"
Liam looked me in the eye, shaking his head while I looked at him annoyed. I was just stating the damn truth.
"I forbid you to see her!" Grandfather hissed "I told you to divorce her and I will give you everything back!"
what?
Liam's eyes drifted towards me as I smiled. I was the reason he lost it all and I wasn't going to let that happen again. So I smiled. "don't worry you old nut, that won't take long"
Grandfather looked at me horrified and I held my hand to my chest, shocked that I called him an old nut. I formally invite you all to my funeral.
"you rude-"
"No" Liam spoke, cutting grandfather off as he was about to woop my ass "we're not getting a divorce"
Say what now
"Liam-"
I was once again cut off by the old nut who grabbed Liam by his ear and began to drag him out whilst I partially laughed and looked concerned. Liam winced in pain as he tried to grab me only for me to slap his hand away in amusement.
"Adeline" He moaned, looking at me with puppy dog eyes as he got dragged out. "grandfather let me go" He argued.
"you're coming home and you are signing those papers" Grandfather yelled, furiously. Liam finally managed to get released my his grandfathers grip. He turned himself to face me as a smile crept up against his lips.
"I'm not divorcing you" he said "Addy"
I slapped my forehead as I shake my head in disbelief. This man is beyond complicated. Just a month ago he agreed we needed a divorce and now he refuses to divorce me? Why does this low key make me happy?
"Didn't you say you could live without me?" I ask, remembering the argument we had before I left.
A sly smirk played against his lips.
"I could" he said, gazing at me dearly.
"I just don't want to"

A-Live AI
The year is 2247. For almost two hundred years Sentient AI research has been banned. Everyone knew this, and yet no one has ever given up on finding the perfect setup for it. Restricted AI are rare, but possible to get ahold of if you have the money and the clout to get through the law for it. Especially when it deals with the military. Alfred Homis is an engineer and has spent the last three years working for the United Terran Military's Research and Exploration Department. Specifically to help build a 'shackled' AI who's prime directive was to explore potentially habitable worlds. Worlds that are far cheaper to colonize and add to the United Terran Directorate's fold than terraforming. During the AI's maiden voyage things go horribly wrong, taking Alfred Homis along for the ride. Thrown into a parallel universe where the laws of physics are just a little messed up, Alfred finds himself trapped inside the very machine he'd helped to build. Add magic, hostile fantasy creatures, and two different pantheons of 'Gods' to the mix and things get even more complicated. Oh, and an invasion between universes to boot. But that's just all in a days work though for Alfred, the AI Lord. Authors Note: Hi guys! Long time no see. And yes, I know that's all on me. But I blame life for that. Anyway, this is my new work, and I hope you guys enjoy it! The chapters are a little shorter than I'd previously posted in my other stories, but I cannot say that I have the same amount of time or energy to write them like that anymore. Sorry about that. Still, some warnings: There is cursing in this story. I am not going to edit it out. There will be sexual content later. Blood, gore and cruel depictions are all planned. If that isn't your thing, I'd suggest you turn back now. There is also my dry, and often not-so-funny sense of humor. And oh, it's all in first person gain. Haha. I just tend to write better that way. If none of that bothers you, then enjoy the read! Feel free to comment, point out mistakes, or make suggestions! Reviews are nice too, but please lay off the criticism until the story gets good and going. Thank you. Note 1: Some edits to the synopsis.
