When you are captured, which I'm sure is going to happen, you won't give me away?!

'1won'L'

Do you swear on your father's grave?!

Kica shot Llama menderous look

All right, all right. He put up both hands in a gesture of surrender I guess I'll just have to take your word for it, then."

Kira's body stiffened at that voice.

Liam tumed back

when he saw who it was, he stood up,Exclusive content from .

He said to Kira, "Looks like we'll have to cut our conversation shon-Call me when you are ready to move.

Maybe They Could Move Past This

Liam licked a speck of dust from his shirtsleeve

now, future Mrs Cane, Aren't you going to give me a farewell hug?'

Then he bent down and whispered in Kira'sear. 'Bye

for now,

Before Karould open her mouth, a figure flitted past her..

Then she heard the sound of a fist on flesh

Liam let out a mullied proan

doubled over and clutched his stomach,

'Fuck off!' Austyn yanked Liam to his feet and shoved him.

Lamstaggered back a few steps.

He would have fallen If he hadn't grasped the calling in time.

He straightened up after he caught his breath.

He still wore an Insouciant smile on his face, which had gone pale.

"What's the matter? Jealous to find your wife spending time with me?"

He crossed his arms. 'Don't you want to know what we talked about?" Kira's head snapped up.

She stared at Liam, incredulous.

She couldn't believe the man would sell her out just like that.

They had a deal!

Liam ignoted the warning look Kina shot him.

He fixed his gaze on Austyn

Go ahead and ask, 1 might be persuaded to tell you."

Austyn glared at him. 'What did she tell you?

Liam shook his head. "Not so fast. And not like that. You and I are both businessmen, You know there's no such thing as free lunch in this world." Kira shot to her leet. She stood behind Austyn and mouthed "shut up at Llam, who turned a blind eye

'What do you want? Austyn asked in an even voice.

Liam Lapped a linger on his chin and pretended to give it some thought,

"Hmm, what do I want? That's a good question. What do you have that I'll want?"

He gave Hina a onor-over

Then he turned his attention back to Austyn

'How about the M Group? I've always liked that office building, Such a prime location. If you give me your company, I'll tell you everything kira said, word for word. How about? Austyn stood stock-sti

He pinned his half-brother to the spot with a sharp gaze.

Liam was unfazed.

"Well?" He pointed to his watch. 'I don't have all day. Do I have an answer?"

Austyn said nothing.

Liam shinagged. "1'll take that as a no, then, Makes sense, I guess. She's just y

He spread out both hands. "In that case, I can't tell you

t your wife, nowhere near as valuable as your vast business empire. It's a loss-making

what we talked about. It shall remain our little secret"

He winked at kira, then he turned around and strolled away. Austyn spun around

Kira's head was bowed.

"but did you two talk about?' Austyn gripped her shoulders, Kira said nothing

Austyn grew uneasy when he couldn't see the look on her face.

All of a sudden, she threw best in his arms and clutched his waist. "Austyn, I want to go lione.

Maybe They Could Move Past This

Austyn was thrown by her abrupt change of heart.

When she stomped off half an hour ago, she flung the divorce papers in his face and said she hated him.

Why was she hugging him now!

Austyn was caught off-guard and at a rare loss for what to do.

He tightened his arms around her.

kira, what exactly did you and Liam talk about? Why did you meet him in the first place?

Austyn had not lost sight of his question.

Kitachdn't answer

She just snuggled up closer to him and pressed her cheek against his chest.

"I'm so tired, and sleepy. I just want to go home. Can you take me home, please? Honey?"

Austyn inhaled deeply.

Maybe this wasn't the time to push ben

He nodded. "Olay!

He pulled back and held her face with both hands, staring into her eyes.

Kira, I'll take you home. I'll do anything you want, as long as you stay with me. Deal?

"Olay "Kira yawned, 'I'd like to go home now. I'm starving'

Austyn took her by the elbow and started walking. "You shouldn't have slipped breakfast!

Kira swayed on her feet and almost stumbled.

"What's wrong?" Austyn shot out an am to steady her

She blinked several times,

Nothing. Just low blood sugar, I guess

She had not eaten anything for almost three whole days

Austyn bent his knees and scooped her up in his arms. Kira squealed.

What are you doing?

Shoppers nearby stopped to gawk

Some pointed at the couple and whispered.

Kira struggled to get down.
