Everything in Liya was telling her to go back to Aldo’s mansion. But she knew that she couldn’t do that. Not after all the emotional slap that she had received. He didn’t say it to her face, but she felt insulted when he said he would let his ex-wife stay in the house. That was the one thing that she knew she wasn't going to tolerate. The air in her lungs found it difficult to come out. She held on tightly to the edges of the chair. How was she supposed to get on? She had tied everything to them. Her life, her future plans, and even her suffering. She knew that she was never going to be able to blame Aldo for her abuse by Damian but she knew they would be her support system. Especially when her brother was not helpful in any way.. Even she finally knew that there must have been a reason why Damian brought her and Aldo together. But then, why has he been quiet since she was rescued? He must have found out that she was out of the Marino mansion. He must have had a reason for keeping h

“What is she talking about?” Liya whispered. Aldo was lost for words. He didn't know what to say to her. Or what she had actually even heard.“You already know that Aldo and I were involved in the past,” Alana started, and she walked towards Liya. Liya couldn’t help but take a step back. She still had her eyes fixed on Aldo as she waited to hear what Aldo had to say about the bomb that had just dropped. But even he was looking down at the little boy. “Who is he? What relationship does he have with Aldo?” Liya asked, now looking at Alana again. Liya felt like she was the only one who could give her a proper answer. “He's Aldo’s child. And I’m here to drop him off.”Liya dug her hands into her hair. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She didn’t even know what she was supposed to think, but she knew that she didn’t want Alana there. The child was someone she had loved spending time with during her stay at Damian’s place, not Alana. She was willing to take care of him until they

It was the first time that Aldo had killed somebody and felt guilty as hell about it. Not that he was guilty of killing Frank. He was guilty that he couldn’t do more to make him suffer. He had thought about taking Frank to his warehouse in the woods and chopping him into a thousand and one pieces. But it was too late to consider anything again. He just wished to go home and take care of Liya the way she deserved. He didn’t care if he was going to have to leave everything behind. Damian was still out there. Aldo even went over to his house, but he wasn’t there.“The coward,” he had whispered. He didn’t really expect much from Damian. But he at least expected him to face him like the man he always claimed to be. Aldo knew that it was only going to be a while before he came out looking for Liya. That only made him realize that getting him married to Liya was something that Damian had planned right from the beginning. But why he went to such lengths to unite them is something Aldo doesn'

Liya quickly had her bath, dressing up in a black gown. She waited until Aria headed to the library with Melinda before she even attempted to pick up her phone to call Lillian again. It didn’t cross her mind for once that Lillian might have just been trying to bait her. She knew that Lillian was Xavier’s cousin and she was sure Xavier would have told her just how dangerous Aldo was. His calm demeanor wasn’t something to play with. She was heading out of the house when Melinda walked in. Melinda looked at her in shock. “Is everything okay, Liya?” she asked, and Liya nodded quickly. The last thing she needed was anybody questioning her about where she was heading. “I just wanted to quickly head out and get a few things,” she said, and Melinda shook her head still. “You know that Sir Aldo had asked me to take care of you,” she said while shaking her head. “I should have put someone else in charge of looking after Aria.”Liya smiled. It was good to know that she was loved and that peo

Aldo had purposely been avoiding every event that included him going out in public. He received countless calls from different people asking about his well-being but he was comfortable with remaining in the shadows for the main time. He needed some time away from the public to lay a foundation for a greater plan. He didn’t even leave the house. He left everything that had to do with work to Melinda. She was in charge of making sure that everything ran properly, and so far, everything was perfect. He soaked himself and filled his time with taking care of Liya. Even Liya was shocked that he was there with her at every second but she was comfortable with it. She didn't grumble because it was only his presence she could put up with at that moment. “Don’t you have to go to work?” Liya finally asked on the fourth day, and Aldo frowned. “What happened? Don't you want me by your side? Or do you want to be alone? I would rather be here with you while you go through everything. Or do you wan

Aldo walked out of the room, not knowing what he was supposed to think about the entire situation. He was constantly trying to stop himself from clenching his hands at his sides. All he wanted to do at that point was head to Damian’s house and fire bullets in his chest. But he knew that Liya wouldn’t want that. He could at least take revenge on the person who had blown her cover to begin with. When he returned to the room after preparing everything for her meal. When he walked into the room with the dishes, he saw that she was already asleep, with a pineapple stabbed into the fork. He walked over to her, kissed her forehead, and set the plate down on the side table. He proceeded to clean her up and for some reason, she didn’t even move. It was like she couldn't even feel that she was being touched. But as he cleaned around her neck and set her legs properly for her to sleep comfortably, she flinched. Aldo couldn’t help but feel even more guilty because he knew that she felt like Da
