Liana’s POVTo say that I was just shocked about whatever trick Kayla played with my emotions was just an understatement. The fact that she made me look like a fool and she left me with so many regrets made my hatred towards her increase with every passing second.I loathed her with extreme passion and the annoying thing is that Conan told me to be nice to her, he didn’t want her to have any hint that we knew about her secret already. He tried to be nice to her as well and it worked because sometimes, I would come across her smiling to herself while rubbing her belly. Then, it dawned on me that the only reason why she was always rubbing her belly most of the time was that she was trying so hard to prove that she was pregnant. I felt sorry for myself and most especially, I felt sorry for Connor who was doing everything to make sure that she was comfortable. He was doing everything because the he did not know that the pregnancy was fake. Kayla agreed to do the baby shower at Conan’s
Conan’s POVI leaned in the chair, staring at Amanda who sat before me as she smiled sheepishly to herself. “Do you now believe me that I mean well for you?”I was at a loss for words to say and how could I forget that she wanted me to make her child the heir to my businesses and that was why she helped me with Kayla? In the real sense, she didn’t help me but she helped herself because if I look into this further, she only did it because of her own gain. She knew all along and decided to keep it a secret. “Can’t say that you mean well for me. Since when have you found out the truth about all of this?” I asked her and the smile on her face disappeared instantly as her brows tugged together. I could see how she was fighting the urge to not frown. “It doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is that I helped you to unravel the truth and you don’t need to father a child that doesn’t belong to you. Common Conan, you have to fulfill your promise and give me my accolades for doing a go
Liana POV“Wait for a second, what did you just say?” I asked as my mouth slackened in shock. Bruce Lawrence clicked his tongue in his mouth as he shook his head slowly. “Why are you acting so shocked? You do know that things can get eerie when your sister is involved”My ears twitched in disbelief as I leaned forward while trying to grasp what I just heard him say. “Are you trying to say that that girl’s brother didn't leave this country? Then why did you tell me that he left when you know that he didn't even step foot in the airport”Bruce Lawrence palmed his forehead before running his hands through his hair frustratedly. “Liana it seems to me that you have forgotten that we are just partners and I am not working for you. I am just telling you about the suspicious things that I seemed to have noticed with your sister” He said while I hissed.“Must you always have a way of annoying me? You need my help and you should be doing everything to please me! If you piss me off, you do know
Conan's POVI stared intently at the screen before me. The screen between the two was pretty intense and hearing Matilda accuse Liana of having an affair with Bruce Lawrence was disturbing because I knew that it was a lie but she was so desperate to make sure things goes her way and she would try to paint a narrative that would fit in with what she wanted people to believe."This girl doesn't cease to amaze me" I muttered to myself, resting my chin on my jaw. Matilda thought that she was smart but what she didn't know was that there was someone even smarter than she was. She thought that she knew it all and that is why she underestimated all the people around her."She should have been showing side effects to the drugs now, why hasn't she been showing any?" I averted my gaze from the screen before fixing my gaze in the direction of the door.A knock that first sounded light landed on the door. I bit the corner of my lower lips in anger because the last time I checked, I gave specific
Conan’s POVMy phone vibrated on the table as I darted my eyes to the phone that kept vibrating, probably because of the enormous notifications that kept popping in my phone.“Who could that be?” A groan escaped my lips as I sauntered towards where the phone was placed at.I stared at the screen and discovered that it was a message from Arthur. The messages kept coming up on my screen and it kind of made me curious as to what it was. I was about to take the phone when his call suddenly came in. I picked up the call. “Hey, what did you send that keeps coming in”“Alpha Conan, that was what I called to inform you about. It is about Bruce Lawrence and Liana, she has been visiting the bowling alley too constantly and I think that they might be planning something. I would advise that you should be careful”I heaved a sigh. “We both know that they are planning something! Just continue to keep tabs on Bruce Lawrence and give me the details on the people that he is meeting with!”“Yes sir,”
Liana POVHow I was able to pull that off was something that I didn't understand but all I knew was that it took every part of me to do what I did with Conan’s car. My heart kept hammering against my chest as I wondered how I was able to pull that off earlier.Now it was morning and definitely, he would be leaving in that car today. Most especially, I needed to make sure that Conan doesn't change his mind and that would be the car that he would go out in. “Dear moon goddess, I just pray that nothing goes wrong totally. I hope that Bruce Lawrence can keep to his words and make sure that everything goes perfectly well and okay. I hope so moon goddess” My eyes screwed shut as I prayed deep down inside my heart. If everything goes on well and fine, I would now have the chance to exert vengeance on Matilda who is the sole reason for everything that I was doing. I needed to put her in her place and make her know that she wasn't as smart as she thinks and that an evil entity like her deser
Liana’s POVI blinked my eyes once, then I blinked again, trying to wrap my head around what I just heard him utter. I stuttered. “W-What do you mean by I should drive you” My heart thumped hard in my chest with every syllable and movement that my lips made. Conan smiled brightly. “You can drive right?” I didn't know what to do as I muttered a yes. “Yes, I can drive” He shrugged. “Then, I see no problem with my request then”A heavy lump formed beneath my throat as I clenched the side of my dress tightly. My face suddenly went pale and to worsen it all, he knew nothing about what I was up to and just kept smiling like that. I forced out a peal of awkward laughter, scratching my hair with my hands. “Don't you think that another person should drive you? I can get someone to do that. The thing is that I have a lot of work to do and driving you to work wouldn't be possible. I am sorry” I said, hoping that he would like to drop the topic of me driving him to work. He closed the space
Conan’s POVThere was this fear in Liana’s eyes as she stared right into my eyes. Instead of her responding to my question, she gulped instead while my fingers still worked their way through her hair even though I was practically resisting all the urge to grab her by the hair. She stuttered as her eyes twitched. “I-I don’t know, I don’t know. As soon as she stopped talking, a car zoomed in our direction and it stopped right next to us. The slamming of doors followed as I averted my gaze back to who it was. Surprisingly, Bruce Lawrence came out of the car and rushed towards mine while banging on the window and the car doors. Liana bit the corner of her lower lips in embarrassment as she palmed her forehead. And somehow, I was kind of taken aback what whatever was happening here. Why was Bruce Lawrence here and most especially, why did he call for an ambulance? What exactly did Liana and Bruce Lawrence plan? I got out of the car and his eyes almost widened in shock as his mouth wa
