Maurene''S POV


    Somehow I was grateful Liam told me me before meeting Nathaniel. Maybe he was going to change. He had already spoken with Ged who told him Nathaniel was busy with some other issues. I had overheard him speaking with him. I wondered what other issues he was dealing with. No wonder he had not been able to meet me.


    I let out a deep sigh, slightly ncing at the car key on the table, the thought of the everything Liam nned for me was still new and the feeling was yet to subside within me.


    He had shown me the tickets he got and we were to go in the noon. I had wanted to ask why he chose the noon time but he replied before I asked. He said that he knew that he was going to tell us about it veryte so he wanted us to get the chance to pack. I appreciated his initiative.


    A smile crossed my lips as I dropped my shoulder in relief. Maybe my birthday wasn''t that bad at all.


    "Yes, we agreed to talk with some bloggers." Liam stated, drawing my attention.


    "About what?" I asked.


    "The blogs that would be deleted. Except there is this one big agency." His eyes narrowed.


    My brows twitched. "An hidden agency?"


    He nodded, pursing his lips. "Yes. Nathaniel has been trying to find the one behind the agency but there has been nothing. I have called my manager to look into it but from the look of it, I doubt he will get anything on the agency."


    "Can people really run such agency without the government involvement? I mean like-"


    "And that is where things start to get dangerous. But you don''t have to worry about it. Mr. Lee will take care of it. Just make sure you prepare for the trip tomorrow. I know I didn''t forget about getting you a cake this year." He smiled brightly as he picked up his suit.


    "I have to leave now." He turned to leave. I caught him by his and beamed an appreciative smile.


    "Thank you so much Liam for getting me this gift. Thank you." I told him with sincerity dripping with every word.


    He patted the ce I held him and smiled before exiting the house. Diana walked in, cranking her head forward. "He left already?"


    I bobbed my head in a nod. "Yes. We have a trip to prepare for."


    For some weird reason, I was happy that I was going on this trip. I did not know why but I know this trip will bring me a lot of goodies and I cannot wait to receive them.


    ЛЛЛЛЛ


    Sleeping throughout the night was hard and even though my guts had warned from going through the inte, I did, going against it. Thankfully, most of the blogposts have been cleared all thanks to Liam. There were just few of them which were still running their mouths to pull traffic to their sites. I didn''t really care anymore though because Liam was now here with me.


    Diana and I had made sure to pack everything the kids would be needing during the trip because I didn''t want Liam spending extra cash and taking out of my budgeted savings.


    As if on cue, he entered into the house, his face bright like the morning sun.


    "I want to believe you are all ready for the trip." He said, wiggling his brows at Kylie who hugged him.


    "Definitely." I told him, hauling the suitcases downstairs. Diana helped me with some too. I was the type of person who didn''t like having so many loads with her whenever she traveled. I had even tried to cut some loads but they were all just important that I couldn''t leave them behind. The only thing I was unsettled with was the many boxes.


    "Alright." He pped his hands. "Time to leave."


    We all followed Liam out of the house with Kyle talking to him about some basketball game I didn''t allow him to watch because it was alreadyte at night and I didn''t like any of my kids staying awake thatte. They were still too young. The thought of when Nathaniel used to stay awake to finish pack paper works and I would try to massage flowed into my head. I could not help but smile faintly at the way he used to refuse me.


    I shook my head, I should not be thinking of things like that. Liam sorted everything we needed to do at the airport and we were soon moved to the aerone. The shock on my face when I realized that it was business ss. On a normal basis, we travel with the business ss but now... We were just going for a vacation and again it was not just the two of us this time. Sometimes, his deliberate actions always made me wish I had met him before I met Nathaniel.


    Kylie tried engaging him during the entire flight while Kyle kept talking to Diana about some things I doubt she was knew about and Kaiobviously sitting beside me and uttering nothing as he yed with his lego. We had decided that each kid will sit with one elder each even though Liam tried to go against it. He got the fact that I was doing for the protection of the kids. Maybe he knew how scared I was about Nathaniel finding out about the kids and then he tries to take them away from me.


    We soon got to Anta and as usual Liam did the checking out. A cab was already waiting for us and we got into it, with another carrying our bags and boxes. I didn''t expect that we would stay in a penthouse. Kylie who had been asleep through the drive to the penthouse let out a yawn as Liam lifted her into his arms. She paused when she saw where we were.


    "Wow." Was the first word she said.


    "You owned this?" I asked Liam, helping Kyle out of the car.


    He nodded. "I had to get it since we wereing here. I didn''t want us lodging at an hotel since we were bringing the kids along with us."


    That was why he insisted that Diana came with us.


    For the next few hours, we tried to settle into the ce. Liam had assigned duties to some men who helped us with taking our bags to our respective rooms. I was too tired to arrange anything at the point when Liam walked into the room, his phone screen brightness illuminating on his face as he looked at me.


    "What now?" I was already tired. I cannot do any work right now. That was what I wanted to tell him but he was my boss. I cannot.


    "I think I have found a way to divert the attention of the press while looking away from that site." He said. I sat up straight, that was one of the things that would be give me a great joy right now. "And what is that?"


    "Let us upload the picture of you and I getting married."
