Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 344

Their last meeting ended with her splashing water over his face. 

Liam should hate her. 

But he rushed over when he knew she was in danger. 

Why would a bad guy help her? 

Kira bit her bottom lip and lowered her eyes. 

Dad taught her to be grateful. 

She should thank Liam, but she opened her mouth several times without being able to make a sound. 

‘Here.” Liam held out a pack of tissue. 

“What?” 

“You’re sweating.” 

Kira touched her forehead. 

It was covered in sweat. 

‘Fear’s a normal reaction,‘ he said. 

Kira took the tissue. ‘Were you afraid just now?‘ 

Liam shook his head. “There’s nothing to be afraid of, not for 

of, not for me. I have nothing to lose.‘ 

Kira blinked. ‘What about death? Aren’t you afraid the man’s going to pull the trigger?” 

Liam shrugged. ‘Everyone’s afraid of death. I’m no exception.‘ 

Kira thought he hadn’t acted like everyone else. 

Others would be running away, screaming, like her. 

He faced down the danger without batting an eye. 

‘But the Grim Reaper has his own plans,‘ Liam continued. ‘It’s not my time to meet him yet.” 

Kira had to admire the man’s 

s courage. 

Liam was a bad guy, but at the m 

moment, he sounded like a badass. 

But what h 

next gave her pause. 

‘Besides, death might be welcome. If it were possible, I wish I never existed.‘ 

Kira was thrown 

He sounded so unhappy, so unlike the self–assured man a minute ago. 

She had an idea where he was coming from 

Liam’s mother was a mistress of the old Mr McC 

She died when Liam was just ten years old. 

McCarthy. 

He was forced to live under the same roof as Austyn, the legitimate heir 

It must not have been an easy life for him,

the adults ignore him? 

Did other kids make fun of him? 

Kira thought back to her own childhood 

Helen didn’t leave Milton after she divorced Leland Hewitt. 

She stayed in a rented house with Georgina, waiting for Michael Vaughn to leave his wife 

It became an open secret around town, that she was a mistress. 

Kira was made the butt of jokes at school. 

Students taunted her and asked if she was sure Leland was her father. 

Kira ran home in tears. 

But she was lucky, in a way. 

At least she had her father to shower her with love and shield her from the malice of others. 

But Liam didn’t 

His father didn’t appear to care much about him. 

His mother passed away when he was just a kid. 

Kira wondered, if Liam had grown up in a normal family, would he turn out differently?
