Chapter 19: Marriage Certificate

Liam offered her a chair calmly, his eyes never leaving Emilia's face. "Please, sit down."

Emilia smiled and walked towards the chair, her heels clicking on the polished floor. She sat down, looking around the luxurious office with a bright smile.

"Your office is stunning, Mr. Liam," Emilia said, her voice melodious. "The view is breathtaking."

Liam nodded, his expression neutral. "Thank you, Miss Emilia. It serves its purpose."

Emilia's gaze lingered on Liam's profile, her smile faltering for a moment. She seemed to sense the tension in the air.

"Your father told me you're not feeling well," Emilia said, concern etched in her voice. "I hope you're taking care of yourself."

Liam's expression didn't change, but his tone hinted at annoyance. "I'm fine, Emilia. Thank you for your concern."

Just then, Emilia stood up from her chair and walked towards Liam, her eyes filled with concern.

"Liam, are you sure you're okay?" Emilia asked, her voice soft.

Liam's gaze met Emilia's, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I'm fine, Emilia."

Emilia's hand reached out, hesitating before touching Liam's arm. "You seem... distracted."

Liam's expression remained neutral, but his voice took on a hint of warning. "I'm busy, Emilia."

The door opened, and Sofia entered, looking frazzled and out of breath. Her eyes darted between Liam and Emilia, her face pale.

"Sofia," Liam said, his tone firm. "Welcome. I see you made it on time."

Sofia nodded, her eyes locked on Emilia's hand on Liam's arm.

her face turn black with anger as she stared at Emilia, her eyes blazing with intensity. "What do you think you're doing?" she asked coldly, her voice dripping with venom.

Emilia's hand still rested on Liam's arm, her eyes locked on Sofia's furious expression. She smiled sweetly, unfazed by Sofia's hostility.

"I'm simply checking on Liam's well-being," Emilia said, her tone innocent. "He's been unwell, after all."

Sofia's gaze snapped to Liam, her anger boiling over. "And you allow her to touch you?" she spat, her voice rising.

Liam's expression remained neutral, but his eyes flashed with warning.

Sofia ignored Liam's warning, her focus fixed on Emilia. "You think you can just waltz in here and claim him?" Sofia sneered, her eyes flashing with anger.

Emilia's smile never wavered. "Claim him? Whatever do you mean, Miss Sofia?"

Sofia's hands clenched into fists, her face twisted in rage. "Don't play dumb with me," she snarled. "I know exactly what you're after."

Liam stood up, his presence commanding attention. "Enough," he said, his voice firm.

But Sofia wouldn't back down. "Tell me, Emilia," she spat, "what makes you think you're worthy of him?"

Emilia's eyes sparkled with amusement, her voice dripping with condescension. "Perhaps it's because I'm not some fragile, clingy thing like you."

Sofia's eyes widened, her face pale with fury.

Liam remained silent, his face expressionless.

Emilia's eyes narrowed, her gaze locked on Sofia.

"Sofia, Liam and I have been close for a long time," Emilia said, her voice laced with possessiveness.

Sofia's eyes flicked to Liam, but he remained quiet, his expression unreadable.

Emilia's smile twisted.

Sofia's eyes flashed.

"So fucking what?" Sofia snapped, her voice rising.

"He's my man now, and you need to stop trying your luck with him."

Emilia's expression remained calm, her eyes never leaving Sofia's face. "You and Liam are never in a relationship, Miss Sofia," she said, her tone firm but gentle. "Please stop lying and making up stories."

Sofia's eyes widened, her face contorting in anger. "How dare you!" she shrieked, her voice echoing through the office.

Liam remained silent, his face expressionless, but his eyes watched Sofia with an intensity that made Emilia's heart skip a beat.

"You don't know anything about us," Sofia snarled, her teeth bared.

Emilia's smile was sad. "I know Liam would never settle for someone like you again," she said, her voice soft but piercing.

Sofia's hands clenched into fists, her body trembling with rage. "You bitch!" she spat, taking a step closer to Emilia.

Liam's voice cut through the tension, his tone low and commanding. "Sofia, enough."

But Sofia was beyond reason, her anger consuming her.

Sofia's face turned beet red with rage, her eyes blazing with intensity. "You don't know anything about us!" she spat, her voice venomous.

Emilia's expression remained calm, her eyes never leaving Sofia's face. "I know enough," she said, her tone firm but gentle. "Liam's family have discussed his future, and you're not part of it."

Sofia's eyes flashed with anger, her face twisted in rage. "His family?" she repeated, her voice rising. "What do they have to do with anything?"

Liam remained silent, his face expressionless, but his eyes watched Sofia with amusement.

Emilia's smile was sad. "You really don't know, do you?" she said, her voice soft but piercing. "Liam's family has certain expectations for him, and you don't fit into their plans."

Sofia's hands clenched into fists, her body trembling with rage. "I don't care about his family or their expectations," she snarled, her teeth bared.

Emilia's eyes locked onto Liam's, her expression seeking confirmation.

"I had all the bad things you did to him in the past, and you still have the guts to come back without any shame. And expect him to welcome you? You're a waste. You've been used and dumped by your fiancé."

" Smack,"

sofia raised her hand and slapped Emilia. Emilia closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to come, but nothing happened. She opened her eyes and saw Liam holding Sofia's hand in the air, inches from her face. His face was cold and dangerous.

"I warned you, Sofia. Don't you dare hit Emilia," Liam said coldly, tightening his grip on her wrist. "I'm the one she came to see here. It's not your business what she's doing with me."

Sofia's eyes turned red as tears streamed down her face, but she didn't make a sound of pain or cry.

Emilia stared with a smile on her lips, barely noticeable. "Hmm, poor thing. Do you think you can compete with me for Liam? Never. He will only belong to me." She smiled to herself.

"You're hurting me because of her?" Sofia cried out.

"It's because she's an important person to me," Liam replied coldly.

Sofia's face contorted in anguish. "You're choosing her over me again?"

Liam's expression didn't change, but his eyes seemed to bore into Sofia's soul.

"I'm choosing myself," he said firmly. "And you need to leave."

Sofia's face crumpled, tears streaming down her face. Liam released her wrist, his movements abrupt.

"Get out," he said, his voice cold.

Sofia stumbled backward, her eyes fixed on Liam's impassive face.

She refused and went to sit down on the couch. "I'm not going anywhere," Sofia said.

Liam stared at this troublesome devil, her stubbornness unchanged from the past. He sat back in his chair and pressed a button on his desk.

"Let the Civil Affairs Burial Lady in," he ordered.

Emilia and Sofia's eyes narrowed. What was a Civil Affairs Burial Lady doing in this big company?

Confusion was written all over Sofia's face.

A woman walked in with a bright smile, placing a marriage certificate on the desk.

Emilia's eyes widened, staring at the document in front of her.

"What is this?" Emilia whispered.

Liam's expression remained neutral. "Our marriage certificate, Emilia."

Emilia's face paled. "You can't be serious."

Liam's gaze locked onto Emilia's. "I've never been more serious."

Sofia's eyes blazed with anger, realizing she was being replaced.

"Sign the certificate, Emilia," Liam said calmly.

Are you really serious Mr liam?" Emilia asked Liam excitedly, full of happiness.

Liam nodded.

Emilia grabbed the pen excitedly; her dreams were finally coming to pass.
