Conan's P.O.VMy brows knitted in confusion and surprise at the same time as I fixed my gaze on Liana who covered her mouth with her hands in a bid to suppress the gasps that were trying to escape her lips. "Oh, my God!" She screamed at the top of her lungs as she rushed towards me and fidgeted while she tried to take my hands. I saw how her fingers trembled as she stretched her hands toward me. "I swear I had no idea that you are the one, does it hurt? I am sorry," She said hurriedly while I tossed the knife that I had clutched tightly.Connor barged in and when he saw the blood that dripped to the ground, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "Who in the world did this, is it you?" He glanced at Liana as he ran his hands through his hair."It is fine, it doesn't hurt" I ignored him, averting my gaze to Liana who was on the verge of panicking as tears welled in her eyes."But you are bleeding, you are bleeding so bad" The tears in her eyes cascaded down her cheeks and for a
Liana's P.O.VDifferent thoughts coursed through my mind and the only thing I wanted to do at the moment was to slam my head against the wall for not reading through the contract before signing it. It felt more like I signed my whole life to him for a year and the mere thought of it caused my stomach to churn.I was jolted out of my thoughts when Conan took my hands in his as we both walked towards the entrance of a huge mansion that was adorned with different flowers and lights. "Don't be nervous, they won't bite or hurt you in any way" He said in a bid to reassure me as he squeezed me in the hands while I forced out a smile.I took in a deep breath but the more I did, the more I was enveloped with a great feeling of nothing but regret. My quest for revenge caused me to sign something that I would have never signed if not for the fact that I was blinded by my thirst for vengeance against Liliana.Gulping on my spittle, I ducked my head while fiddling with my fingers. He suddenly pau
Conan’s P.O.VI knew trouble was brewing after catching sight of Kayla standing at the entrance that led to the dining room. Before I could stop her, she had already gotten to where Liana was, and everything she did ended up annoying me, intensifying the wave of anger that was rushing through me.How dare she yank Liana off like that and who the hell gave her the audacity and temerity to spill Liana’s food over the floor like that?“What the hell did you just do?” I yelled at her, gripping her by the arm as her eyes struck mine. The fury that blazed in her eyes suddenly disappeared as tears welled up in her eyes while her lips wobbled. “Did you have to do something like that?” Her lower lips shook. “Did you have to do this to us? Despite knowing what we shared” She muttered and the next thing that followed was the tears that cascaded down her cheeks, causing her mascara to get smeared around the corner of her eyes. My eyebrows knitted in nothing but utter and total confusion as her
Liana's P.O.VI was at a loss for words to say as I ran after the gurney that pushed Kayla to the emergency room. I was confused and didn't know how to wrap my head around what had happened to her. Earlier, she looked as though she was fine and now, she was being rushed into the emergency ward. The look of despair was evident on the face of Conan's mother whose eyes welled up with tears.Conan and his father went to meet with the doctor while the door to the emergency ward slammed shut right in my face. "I hope that she is fine" I clasped my hands, muttering a word of prayer as I squeezed my eyes shut.I was about to flick my eyes open when I felt someone grab me by the arm and I felt something sharp like needles prick into my tender skin. When I looked down, I saw that Uncle Jojo's wife, Amanda, had pressed her long fingernails so hard into my skin."You Gold-digger, how dare you have the audacity to pray after being the one who had caused her pain? Do you think that everything woul
Conan’s P.O.VA gasp that soon erupted into one that depicted the happiness and joy echoed through the room and if I would be honest, I was happy for Kayla and I was happy that at least she would get off my back and leave me alone. However, when I glanced at Liana, she had a confused look on her face as she lowered her head and ping-ponged her gaze around as if she was trying to place one and two things together.When I locked eyes with her, a forced smile stretched on her lips as she darted her eyes away from me, and for a second, it made me wish that I could at least have an idea of what could be going through her mind. I was suddenly taken aback when my mom pulled me into her arms and rubbed me on the back slowly.“You did good, son. I am grateful that you did well, now the moon goddess has found a reason to join you two together and now the strange people can leave. I am happy for you” She withdrew from my hands with her face filled with nothing but glee.My eyebrow knitted in c
Liana’s P.O.VI didn't know if I was making the right or the wrong decision but all I knew was that everything I was doing was because of the child. I have been in a situation where I wasn't only devoid of my father’s love but of my both parents as well.The look on Conan’s face showed how pissed he was with me and he left me at the hospital, claiming that the driver would take me home although he didn’t mention Kayla, I would make sure that Kayla was taken along as well since the doctor said she was okay. The drive to Conan’s house was silent while I sat next to the driver. Kayla sat in the passenger’s seat, giggling and scrolling through her phone. Anytime the driver hits a bump, she would scream and yell at the driver to drive carefully so that it wouldn’t affect the child, she would also threaten to report him to Conan. Tired of the constant yelling, I turned to look at Kayla with a bright smile on my face. “Kayla, I don't think that you should fault him for the bumps. I know th
Conan’s P.O.VI was still trying to stop my mom from coming with me and was kind of questioning her for keeping tabs on me when I heard the scream that came from inside her house. My thoughts were that it was the work of Kayla who was showing her true colors to Liana who was so blinded by love that she accepted to take Kayla in without asking me first. However, I was taken aback when I pushed the door open only to see Liana causing pain for Kayla. “Oh my God, this girl is devilish, how can she do this to her after knowing about her pregnancy!” My mom screamed, quickly rushing towards Kayla who fell on her knees to the ground. Kayla whimpered as she sat on the floor and pulled her knees to her chest before burying her head between her knees as she winced softly. She raised her head and sniffled in her tears as she took my mom's hand in hers.“Aunt, I don't want to stay here anymore. I am sorry! I don't want to put or subject my child to any kind or type of harm. I don't know what I
Liana’s P.O.VEver since Kayla started living with both me and Conan, she would always cause trouble for me and whenever I attempt to report her to Conan, she would blame it on the pregnancy hormones. There was a time that I mistakenly brushed shoulders with her and she picked a fight with me, accusing me of almost trying to kill her child but like always, she begged for my forgiveness and made me vow not to report her to Conan. No matter how much I tried to understand her or see things from her point of view, it never made sense to me in any way so I decided to blame it all on the pregnancy hormones like she said because she was a young mother and I have heard that some pregnant women tend to be overbearing and over demanding most of the times.Day by day, I watched Kayla’s belly grow every day and I did not doubt that the child was Conan’s. I could see the joy on her face whenever she rubs her hand on her belly and the smile would disappear whenever she locked eyes with me. Like a
