Before I could say a word, Liam walks out of the press conference, leaving me behind in the hand of the journalist there who cornered me, somehow I managed to get away going over to Liam's room.

In a haste I walked in without knocking, he turns and puts the call from his ears, eyeing me.

"Seriously, ma.. marriage?".

I needed an explanation from him, ambling towards the direction he stood geeking at my tensed mood, so he says and I quote, "I know you are shocked by the sudden decision to marry you but trust me, I did everything just to save yourself".

What he said made no sense to me, how could getting married to me save my life, it's creeped me out because this ain't no zee world series we watch on television.

"I don't understand, explain.. please".

My words broke into segments idling to hear his response, Liam moves me to the couch and sits me down, lifting my head.

"I'll tell you, the truth and nothing but the truth" he reads the expression on my face, as he proceeds to talk.

(Inaudible conversation)

Quitely I listened to the truth he urged to tell me, why? I asked myself, who will want to take my life just because they think I was having an affair with Liam my mind lingered over to Tatiana, but per Liam's Instructions, he specifically told me not to say a word nor have a confrontation with her, for the sake of my safety and that of his son.

The news circulated the whole city and the world, they said and I quote; "Liam Khan ends up breaking up with his long-time girlfriend and tends to marry his son's nanny". While the rest said, "diamond in the rough, a common nanny marries business tycoon Liam Khan".

Every newspaper had its version of the story, Mike was in no way pleased with his brother's sudden decision to marry the woman not slated for him.

"What the Heck is going on bro?".

Liam veered and saw his brother standing at the entrance to his room, refusing to come in.

"What do you mean brother? Why don't you think of others' order than yourself". He says to him, as it nudged him to the varied inside.

"And you are not the brother I knew before, what the hell has come over you? Why do you wish to marry a common nanny and destroy the life our late father and mother destined for you!".

Mike aired out his feelings, rather Liam's mind was made up, and his decision will and can in no way be changed no matter what.

He (Mike) saw how strong-headed his brother had become, not pleased about it, he walks out of the room.

While ambling further, he passed the bar area and caught a glimpse of Tatiana, who drowned herself in alcohol. She staggered intoxicated and unknowingly bumped into him standing behind with a straight face.

"What Mike! Don't give me that face, my life as you know it, is over, the man I have loved for more than two years now, is planning to get married to his maid, who he kept saying he had no atom of feelings for her, so tell me, why then Is he marrying her?". In a tipsy mood, she asked, falling on him.

They both shared an eye lock, mostly staring at each other's eyes, but the whole romantic moment came to an end when the press took a picture of them from a distance, camping out without being noticed.

Before the day came to an end, Liam rounded up his business meetings with the presumed investors and asked we get our things ready and return home.

After a bumpy ride home, the plane landed, as we all veered away in opposite directions. Mike walked upstairs to his room, whereas Tatiana veered back out of the house, and left the rest of us back home.

"Don't mind them" Liam nudged me gaining my attention over to,' him, as I asked a question. "Liam! Are you sure what you're doing is the right thing, don't you think it might stare upload of the problem?".

He pulled a step backward-looking to read the expression I had on,  "hmm! I can see the fear in your eyes, you sure don't wanna die right?". His lips shape up smiling, and that there wasn't the time to tease me.

"Well yeah, do you wanna die?". I copied back his words to him, he shook his head answering back, "no I do not but trust me, we all will die one day and go over to our big man upstairs!" I gazed on as he walks away holding his suitcase.

Apparently, after settling down, I strolled over to Andre's room and caught him staring at the window.

"Champ! are you okay?".  I inquired ambling closer, as he veered back, "yeah, just missing my mom"  he opens up the truth to me.

I wore a weak smile and pulled him in for a warm hug, although I might not be his real mom but having a son like him, would be a wonderful gift God gives me.

"It's okay, I am here for you"  I whispered to his ears, sporting a smile on his face.

Eventually, we pulled away from each other, I noticed he had a huge smile on his face, his cheeks fluttered and I know, he had something to say to me.

"What is it? Do you have anything to tell me?".  I waited to hear his voice, so he says to me, "erm, Nothing but I am just happy that I'll finally be able to get a new mom".

"Aww!" His words touched my heart, I placed his hands on mine and made a promise, "I promise to always make you happy, forever and I know I might not be your real mom but trust me, you're are my son".

Andre's and I had a little moment to myself, but eventually, a particular someone had to ruin it when I took heed of my best friend Christian waiting for me downstairs.

I walked out and saw him standing at the front door, he wore a furious look on, his hands were folded and constantly tapped his feet on the ground.

"Hey! Bestie... come..in".

He took a few minutes until he decides to step his feet into the house, Christain loomed his eyes around approaching in my direction, he says and I quote; " what is it that I am hearing? Are you seriously getting married to Liam Khan, your boss?".

It came as a surprise to me as well, now I haven't been able to understand the Symphony of the whole marriage thing, but in all, I had to play along, "yes bestie, I don't know what to say but yes, Liam and I are getting married".

"Whaaaat".  He plastered a shocked look at me,  At the same time Liam walks in on us talking, "hello, who are you"  he says attaining Christina's vicious glare.

"Well, well, well, you must be the famous Liam Khan, am I right?".   Christain tries to act as the possessive best friend to Liam.

"Yes I am and who are you?".  He duplicated his words back, finally gaining notoriety to me standing behind.
