CHAPTER SEVENTY LIRAMy eyes were red and watery from the slap that Isabelle had given me. However, I couldn't even explain myself. Damien had made sure that there was no way out for me. If I dared to tell the truth about what happened, then he woke expose the fever that I was not Sophia Sniffing back the tears that were threatening to fall, I looked at Sebastian who was seated on the couch, a disappointed look on his face. I smiled bitterly, he didn't believe me...and why would he even believe me? I worked for Damien...to them, I was the only one who could have stolen the design. "What are you looking at my brother for? Do you think that he is going to protect you this time? Ha! My brother was so nice to you, he didn't even mind the fact that you are Marco's granddaughter, and this is how you decide to pay us back?" Isabelle snarled at me. I took a deep breath, "I wasn't the one who stole the design," I said. I was not going to accept the blame for something that I didn't do

CHAPTER SIXTY-NINELIRAI sat in the dressing room, as I waited for the makeup artist to come take off my makeup. My mind was all over the place, but I still remembered what Damien had said to me. The launch was very important, and I had to make sure that nothing went wrong. So even though I was shaking with fear, I still got on the stage and presented the necklaces. It received great approval from the crowd, and it was even auctioned off at a pretty high price. I was sure that they would be a big hit when they hit the market ...All of those did not have much effect on me,and now that I sat alone in the dressing room, I realized that my situation was not good. Damien knew the truth, and even if he didn't want to expose me, he was going to use it to his benefit. There was no way this situation would be beneficial for me. It was driving me crazy just thinking about it...what exactly would Damien ask from me? The door was pushed open, and I turned back expectantly, but instead of

CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHTLIRAHe knew....that was the first thought in my head. Damien knew....he knew everything about my identity as Lira! Maya ...she had told him the truth!My face went pale instantly, and I started to physically shake in fear I didn't even bother to try and hide my reactions, because I knew it was impossible. "What ...what are you talking about?" I stammered out those words, not daring to look into Damien's eyes. How could Maya do this to me? What could Damien have possibly promised her? Damien had a grin on his face, the knowing look on his face was brighter than ever. No wonder....no wonder he had been giving me a weird gaze from now on. It was all because he knew everything and he was just wstching me put on a show like I was a clown! Bitter tears gathered in my eyes, and I forced myself to sniff them all back. What good could crying do for me now? "What? It's what Maya likes to call you right?" Damien flashed me a grin as he said this, and he wriggled hi

CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVENLIRA My heart skipped a beat when I heard Damien's obviously teasing voice, and both Maya and I turned to look at him with pale looks on our faces. Maya in particular looked scared, and she took a few steps back subconsciously. My eyes shifted between Maya and Damien.... Damien just glanced at her once before he shifted his attention right back to me, but I really couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something wrong somewhere. It was driving me crazy the more I thought about it. "Why? What were you talking about? You want to fill me in?" Damien proceeded to interrogate us with that same teasing look on his face. "I....Kendra said she wanted to talk to me about some of the decorations for the launch.....I have to go now..." She said in shaky voice. Maya did not reuse her head even once, she managed to make her escape, leaving just me and Damian standing in the hallway. Damien flashed a grin at me, "I thought you said you weren't that close to her? D

CHAPTER SIXTY-SIXLIRAMaya walked into the office with her head bowed but I was still able to make out the outline of her face. What was she doing here?! "You know each other?" Kendra asked, as her eyes darted between me and Maya.Maya nodded her head first, a small smile on her face. "We....have met a few times," Maya said, her voice barely above a whisper. Obviously, she didn't want to admit our friendship. Although this was weird to me, I held back from saying anything else. After all, my identity right now was special. Kendra nodded her head, not asking any more questions. "Well, Maya here has experience working in high level events. She is going to help us prepare everything for the launch that we are going to have soon. I hope that everyone can work well with her," Kendra announced. Her words were more like an order, instead of suggestion. I didn't pay attention to Kendra though, all of my attention was focused on Maya. How did she got a job here? Was it really a coin

CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVELIRAUnderneath the sheets, I clenched my fists tightly. My eyes were weary as I watched the man in front of me, my suspicions heightened. "What do you want?" I asked through gritted teeth. Although I was trying my best not to show my fear, my heart was already pounding fast in my chest. James sneered at me, and before I could react, he was right in front of me, grabbing my chin. "What were you going to tell Sebastian just now? " He demanded to know. My heart skipped a beat, and I turned my eyes wat from him to hide my guilt. I did not dare confess that I was thinking about coming clean with the truth and ending everything. "I...""Let me warn you, Lira. Your grandmother's life is still in my hands, and if you dare to make any foolish decisions, then both you and her are going to die. If you want to die, then you had better keep your head down and do as you're told! The only reason why you're still alive till now is because the boss deems you useful!" He snar
