LianaMy eyes widened, almost popping out of my sockets as I covered my mouth with my hands in a bid to suppress the gasps that were trying to escape my lips. My heart began to thud so hard that I literally felt my heart pounding in my ear. I clutched the phone to my ear tightly as my lips trembled.“A-A lot of people died, is mother fine?” I stuttered while taking in random breaths because it felt like every part of me was crumbling inside. The day that I was disowned by my parents, I knew that mother would still have a different say about the whole thing. She might be angry and disappointed in me but she would have a different point of view but what could she do before my raging father. I heard Matilda heave a sigh. “She is fine although she broke her neck and she is currently in the hospital. I want to know if you would be coming, I mean you should at least come see her. She has been wanting to talk to you and don’t forget to bring your husband. Sorry, I mean my in-law, Conan” I h
Conan’s P.O.VThe sweet yet annoying scent of the roses assaulted my senses and before I knew it, I was sneezing so hard that I felt a warm liquid streak underneath my nostrils. Covering my nose with my hands, I rushed out of the room and collided with someone who I assumed to be Matilda because of the clicking sound of her stiletto heels against the hard marbled floor as she ran after me. I felt a sharp pain in my head and it felt more like my veins were popping out as a groan escaped my lips. “Oh my! Brother-in-law, Conan” I heard Matilda scream after me. Her ear-piercing scream further added to the dilemma that I found myself in and it ended up triggering me further.I didn't know where I was running to, but I knew that I ran as fast as my leg could carry me. I ran so fast until I found myself around the fountain and buried my face in the basin of the fountain. Slowly, the water cooled down my nerves and all the pain I felt went away bit by bit.Raising my head from the water, ga
Liana's POVNever for a second have I ever forgotten about my plans to exert vengeance on Matilda. All the memories of how she stabbed me in the stomach still lingered in my head. Memories of how she pushed me from the rooftop were something that I would never be able to forget for the rest of my life. Me being alive and going back to the past was a second chance given to me by the moon goddess and I have made a vow not to misuse the chance. I would make sure that everyone involved in my death then would have their fair share of my vengeance and the moment was now!I leaned forward in the chair and stared at the blank laptop for hours as my hands curled into fists as I recollected everything that had happened for the past few days. Bruce Lawrence tried to attack my mother to the extent of it affecting Conan and Matilda not caring about how mom was faring but she had the audacity and temerity to tell Conan to accept her proposal.If I could remember vividly, she was the same person wh
Liana’s P.O.VMaybe I was wrong about Bruce Lawrence believing me because as soon as I was done talking, he bursted into a peal of hysterical laughter and attempted to place his hands on my forehead while I jerked my head backward.“Do you think that this is funny in any way?” I almost yelled at him because he was starting to get on my nerves with the way he kept laughing like a monkey. After getting a hold of himself, he shook his head slowly and ran his hands through his hair while his face contorted into a slight frown. “Wait for a second, do you think that I am a dummy and I don't know what I am doing?” He cocked his brow to the left. “What do you mean?” “I mean after you jilted me and got married to someone else. You are now here saying that you want to help me? Are you sure that the poverty you are going through right now hasn't affected your head? I mean that must be the only reason because right now you are talking like someone who isn't mentally stable” Bruce Lawrence said
Conan’s P.O.VThe smile that danced on her lips annoyed me as my hands curled into fists. She dropped the envelope before me and had that annoying wide grin still plastered on her face. Her face lit up brightly as she chortled and unzipped her bag while bringing out an envelope.I stared down at the envelope on the table, wondering what was in there. “What is this?” I questioned, cocking my brow to the left. She shook her head slowly. “Well, if you open it, then you would see what is inside the envelope” I kept a straight expression on my face and handed the envelope back to her. “First of all, I don't know why you are being so rude and why you think that I am someone that you can blackmail! For your information, I don't know how you got into my office but you have just caused a lot of people to lose their jobs! Just so you know”“Brother-in-law? Do I look like I care?”A scoff escaped my lips as I ran my hands through my hair frustratedly. I didn't even know who was more annoying
Liana’s P.O.VDrumming my fingers on the laptop’s keyboard, different thoughts coursed through my mind as my mind went to the day Conan had asked if I left home.“What could be the reason why he asked? Could it be that something happened? Because if I can remember vividly, that was the day that I met with Bruce Lawrence” I thought to myself as I leaned forward on the table with my forearm and cradled my head in my hands. Kayla jolted me out of my thoughts as she sat right across me and stretched a cake parfait toward me. She beamed with a smile as she tied the hair that tumbled over her shoulders into a messy bun. “Conan sent me this cake parfait. I amsurprised to see that our relationship has gotten better over the days. He always wants to spend time with the baby” She chuckled lightly. “That is nice and thanks for this” I replied. “I just wanted to share it with you. You know I have been craving something extraordinarily sweet. Conan first thought that it was going to affect th
Liana's P.O.VI rubbed my eyes to be sure that I was seeing right because there was no way I was seeing right. Maybe I was dreaming, maybe I was in a trance and that was the reason why I was seeing something that felt so unreal.My head spurned and for a second, I still couldn’t wrap my head around the horrible sight before me. My phone that vibrated in my hand jolted me out of my thoughts and that was when my eyes widened in nothing but shock. “H-How?” I muttered, rushing towards the laptop that had been destroyed, and with the way it was destroyed, it was just so impossible for it to be repaired! I pursed my lips slightly and I even noticed that the flash that was connected to my laptop was also gone as well.The phone that kept ringing in my pocket triggered every one of my senses and the only thing I wanted was to hurl the phone against the wall but despite everything, I restrained myself and clutched tightly to the chair before I crumbled down. Surprised? Shocked? Stunned? That
Conan’s P.O.V“So, you have finally returned Lex after you stole him from me. Right? Connor” I stared out the glass windows, sipping coffee while I heard him chuckle lightly from the other line. “Well, I sent him to your house already. I had lots and lots of fun with your pet, brother. Told you that he loves me better!” I shook my head, clicking my tongue in my mouth. “You should be grateful that you didn’t meet me at home then I would have broken both your limbs for theft!!” “Didn’t you hear when I said that I sent Lex back home? I knew that there was a high possibility that you could be home so that was why I didn’t bring him myself.Taking another sip, I glanced over my shoulders when I heard the soft tapping on the door. “Connor, I need to leave now, I would talk to you later” I hung up the call, turning to look at my secretary, Cara, who strode toward my direction. Just behind her was Maltida who kept that annoying grin on her face. Cara turned to look at her while heaving an
