Alyssa Takada

He brought me to a fancy bar.

There's private rooms and he entered the last room in the hallway. Liam gestured for me to enter, and three men sat in the room. The table in the center was filled with alcohol.

"Who do we have here? I never thought you brought your wife here, Hastington." The dark brown-haired man said, looking at me with fascination.

"Bringing your wife should be illegal, Liam." The person across him said.

"That's Blake, Kaleb, and Vincent." Liam pointed at each one and the first person who talked was Blake, and the second one was Vincent. Kaleb didn't even bother to say anything.

"I'm Alyssa Takada," I said, and Liam led me beside him. He grabbed a new glass and put some ice before pouring alcohol into it.

"So, Alyssa, how's your married life with Liam?" Blake asked, and I briefly turned to Liam before returning to Blake.

"It's fun. We just bought two turtles." The three of them turned to Liam like he was possessed. Blake laughed, and Vincent joined.

"She was the one who bought it." Liam took a sip of his drink and leaned his body back.

"Dean killed Cory." Kaleb's voice startled me, and the fact that he just said something about killing freaked me out more.

"Cory decided to side with Callahan, so he had no choice but to kill him." I turned to Liam, wanting to know his reaction to the news. He looked at Kaleb, who looked bored.

"I told you that Cory was useless. He's willing to sell anything for money." Blake said, and he took a sip of his alcoholic drink.

"When are you coming back, Hastington?" Back? Back where?

"Next week."

"Where?" I asked curiously.

"To work."

"But you're already working now. What do you mean going back to work?" Blake chuckled, "Your husband's real job is not a surgeon." His statement made me turn to Liam, who glared at Blake.

Suddenly, the door opened, revealing four beautiful women.

"Liam! It's been so long since I saw you..." The first woman who came into the room squealed when she saw Liam. She kissed him on the cheek and sat on his lap. I was about to protest, but I saw Liam wrapping his arm around her waist.

I gripped my glass of alcohol so tightly it might break soon.

The woman slipped his hand into his hoodie, touching him everywhere. Liam didn't even bother to turn to me or to push her away. My eyes shifted to see Kaleb was the only one who didn't have a woman wrapped around his arm.

Blake has two, and Vincent has one.

"I guess you don't want a divorce, huh?" I asked loudly and didn't even bother to turn to Liam. I could see Kaleb smirking in my peripheral vision.

"I'm going to count to three if you don't kick all the women away... I'll rip the divorce papers, and you're going to stick with me forever," I said slowly, word by word, and drank all the alcohol from the glass.

"One... two..." I could hear all the women walking out the door, and I turned to Liam, who was already glaring and annoyed. Blake, Kaleb, and Vincent were fascinated.

I grabbed a bottle of tequila and walked out of the room.

Liam Hastington

"Sixty days?" Blake asked, laughing at me.

"Well, good luck with that," Vincent smirked.

"I told her that she'll get nothing out of this. She's just wasting my fucking time." I poured more alcohol into my glass.

"Who's the two prisoners that came a few days ago?" Kaleb asked, making Blake and Vincent question me right away.

"She was stalked and stabbed in Paris. That's why her family brought her back and made me marry her." I shook my head as I drank my drink.

Suddenly, we heard a thunderous collision outside, and we all got up simultaneously and made our way out. We have two people fighting out, and I decided to find Alyssa because she'll always get into trouble in times like this.

I looked around the private club to find her, but she was nowhere to be found. I took out my phone and texted her.

Liam: Where are you?

I waited for two minutes, and there was no answer. I looked around for the second time, and still no signs of her. I walked into our room, "See you next week."

"Where are you going? We have—"

"I'm going to take care of that little shit first." I closed the door, and since I didn't have her phone in my tracker, I had to call the headquarters to help me. I asked them to track her down, and when they sent me her location, I quickly went down and walked a block to a club.

I walked in and tried to find her.

I scanned the room, and she was sure laughing with two men while drinking her tequila. Her outfit didn't fit in, but men approached because she was beautiful. There's no denying that Alyssa is very beautiful.

I heard boys in our school always say that she's a cute but sexy type. When men were busy looking at her, she was busy looking at me. Men were so eager to date her that some learned Japanese to impress her.

I walked towards her and noticed that she was drunk. She was talking about how it should be winter throughout the year, and the man beside her said that he wanted it to be summer throughout the year.

When her eyes caught mine, her smile fell. She then rolled her eyes as if my presence ruined her night when she ruined mine by kicking out all the women.

"Who is he?"

"He's my driver for the night." I raised my eyebrows and put my hands into my pocket. Suddenly, some girls decided to flirt with me, which made Alyssa's eyes glued to me, trying to see my next move.

"Let's go."

"You can go first." She said as she drank all the tequila. She put the bottle down and got up from her seat. She walked past me to the dance floor and started dancing, but her body was as stiff as a board.

I walked to her and dragged her out.

"Let's go," I said, and she pulled her hand from my grip.

"You listen to me, Liam..." She raised his voice, making people turn to us. "One day, I will find someone better than you."

"That's great."

"One day, you'll regret everything you do to me." She pointed her finger at me.

"Aeri?" Our head turned to see a man walking towards the club with some of his friends. He recognized Alyssa and even called her Aeri.

"Ren!" She squealed and hugged him. Ren turned to me, raising his eyebrows, wondering if I did something terrible to her.

"Let's go." I grabbed her hand, but Ren pushed me away. She wrapped her arm around her waist, planning to bring her back to the club.

"Let her go."

"She doesn't want to be with you." Ren turned to Alyssa, who was already leaning her head to his chest.

"You don't know shit."

"This is the second time I saw you treating her poorly, and I won't let you take her away." He's getting on my nerves now.

"Let her go, or I'm going to fucking kill you," I said, and Ren walked past me. I grabbed his arm and punched him hard. Alyssa gasped, and I held her hand, taking her away from the club.

I led her back to our car and forced her to get in.

"I'm going to fucking punish you for this."
