Devilish secretary - Chapter 190

Chapter 190: Chapter 190 Loyal dog Chapter 190: Chapter 190 Loyal dog Liam felt his body freeze as he stared at her, his mind still caught between the warmth of waking up next to her and the sharp pain of hearing her words.

His chest felt heavy, suffocating.

The woman he had spent the night with, the one he had dreamed about for years, was now looking at him with pure horror in her eyes.

Sienna clutched the sheets around her, her breath shaky as she tried to process what had just happened.

Her heart pounded against her ribs, and a sickening realization settled deep within her.

This wasn’t a dream.

This wasn’t a mistake that could be undone.

She had spent the night with Liam.

She covered her mouth with her hand, as if trying to suppress a cry.

Her voice trembled as she spoke again, “Liam… you know I love Sebby… Why did you-” Her words broke as tears welled up in her eyes.

Liam flinched, as if her words had physically struck him.

His fingers dug into the sheets, his heart twisting painfully.

He had known this would happen.

He had known that no matter how much he loved her, no matter how much he wanted her, she would never see him the way he saw her.

Still, some foolish part of him had hoped.

His jaw tightened, and he forced himself to stay calm, to not let the hurt show on his face.

“Sienna, you were the one who pulled me in,” he said, his voice strained but steady.

“You kissed me first.

You held onto me.” Sienna shook her head violently, tears spilling down her cheeks.

“I was drunk!

I didn’t know what I was doing!” She looked around as if searching for a way to escape, as if trying to wake up from this nightmare.

“Oh my god, what have I done?” Liam’s stomach twisted painfully.

He knew regret when he saw it, and it was written all over her face.

He ran a hand through his hair, trying to suppress the wave of emotions crashing over him.

He had thought that maybe, just maybe, she would wake up and see him.

That she would realize he had always been there for her, always loved her.

But instead, she looked at him as if he had betrayed her.

As if he had ruined everything.

Liam let out a bitter chuckle, but there was no humor in it.

“Right.

You were drunk,” he muttered, more to himself than to her.

His voice dropped lower, heavy with pain.

“And I was stupid.” Sienna sniffled, gripping the sheets tighter, her mind racing.

“I need to call Sebby,” she mumbled under her breath, reaching for her phone.

Liam’s entire body stiffened.

Even now, after waking up in his bed, after spending the night with him, the first person she thought of was Sebastian.

A cold, hollow feeling settled in his chest, but he quickly masked it, forcing a smirk onto his lips.

“Go ahead.

Call him,” he said, his voice laced with sarcasm.

“Tell him you slept with another man while thinking about him.

Let’s see how that works out for you.” Sienna froze, her fingers hovering over her phone.

She looked at him, her lips trembling, but she couldn’t say anything.

Liam exhaled sharply and stood up, grabbing his clothes from the floor and putting them on without looking at her.

“Don’t worry, Sienna,” he said, his voice tired, almost emotionless.

“I won’t tell anyone.

Your precious Sebby will never have to know.” She swallowed hard, watching him with guilt-ridden eyes.

“Liam, I-” He cut her off with a small, forced smile.

“Forget it, Sienna,” he said quietly.

“Just pretend it never happened.” Without another word, he walked out of the room, leaving her sitting on the bed, drowning in regret.

Sienna sat frozen on the bed, her fingers still gripping the sheets tightly.

Her heart pounded in her chest, not just from guilt but from something else-realization.

Liam was angry.

He had never spoken to her like that before.

No matter what happened, no matter how much she pushed him away or ignored his feelings, he had always been there for her.

Always running to help her whenever she needed something, always by her side like a loyal dog.

And now?

He had walked away.

Her lips trembled as she wiped away her tears, her mind racing.

She had messed up.

But not in the way that mattered emotionally-no, she had messed up strategically.

Liam was useful.

He was reliable, dependable, and most importantly..he would do anything for her.

And she couldn’t afford to lose that.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

She had to fix this.

She had to pull him back in.

Not because she loved him.

No, never.

But because she needed him.

Liam was her safety net, her backup.

When Sebastian ignored her, Liam was always there.

When she needed something done, he was the first one to offer help.

She couldn’t let that go.

Her hands clenched into fists.

She would attract him again.

Make him feel needed, wanted, important.

*** Lilith inhaled deeply, closing her eyes for a moment as she used her soothing powers to calm herself down.

She had learned long ago that anger was useless without action and right now, she needed to think.

As she opened her eyes, she grabbed the remote from the nightstand and turned on the TV.

Maybe something interesting would distract her.

But the moment the screen lit up, her expression stiffened.

“SEBASTIAN CARTER’S SECRET GIRLFRIEND MISSING!” “BILLIONAIRE CEO IN DISTRESS AS HIS LOVER DISAPPEARS!” Lilith tilted her head, unimpressed.

Maybe Nova, Rose and Ava were freaking out.

But what could she do?

She didn’t have her phone.

She had no way to contact anyone.

She sighed, tossing the remote aside as she flopped back onto the bed, staring at the ceiling.

She wasn’t even angry about being kidnapped.

No, that part was mildly entertaining.

What truly, deeply enraged her was- The stupid robot.
