Desperate Measures CHAPTER 95: The File
Liya slowly opened her eyes. Her head was banging so much and the light made her eyes hurt. “Please close the windows,” she practically begged. She heard Aldo say something, but she couldn’t even put the words together. It was like he was speaking underwater. “Open your eyes,” Aldo said, and she finally tried to listen to him. Her eyes fluttered open and she was glad that he was the first person she saw after everything that happened. A cold towel was placed on her head. Aldo placed a small kiss on her lips but didn't feel the way it used to. Instead, she didn’t want him to touch her. “How do you feel?” he asked. Liya couldn’t bring herself to reply. Her mouth opened to say something but no words came out. All the emotions were suffocating her. Aldo helped her get up immediately and he pulled her to himself. He could feel his own throat closing up. “You’re okay, Liya,” he whispered into her hair. “I got you.” He slowly kissed her forehead and she was finally able to relax and let
Desperate Measures CHAPTER 94: Rescued
Liya swallowed hard. She knew just how loyal her brother was to Damian. She wasn’t even going to try her luck on him getting her out of there. “Just leave,” she said immediately. “Just pretend like you didn't see me.” He narrowed his eyes on her. “Were you the one I met in the basement the other day?” he asked, and she looked away. At that point, it was like everyone saw right through her. It was like her acting was so bad, and she put in all that effort for nothing. Liam looked over at her again. “I could barely fucking recognize you.” He said in a tone that made Liya look up at him. She couldn’t remember the last time he looked at her like that. It felt like they were kids all over again. “What do you want?” Liya asked, and Liam frowned as he looked down at her. He walked in front of her so he could look at her properly. “I should be asking you,” he said softly, and Liya felt like he was on her side. But he was supposed to be untying her ropes already if he was. She knew her
Desperate Measures CHAPTER 93: Her Brother
Liya woke up for the hundredth time. She seemed to have fallen asleep when Damian was speaking. Every single time she woke up, she was sure that they were doing something in front of her but she wasn’t sure what they were doing to begin with. Sometimes, Damian’s hands were all over her and before she would even be able to say a word, she would feel a little prick on her skin before falling asleep again. But this time, she was fully awake and she was thankful they had kept her awake. Her throat was dry and there was a stale taste on her tongue. Her legs were aching, and there was a throbbing sensation around them. She couldn’t think straight, but she was sure that something was wrong. The metal doors clicked open, and someone walked in. Liya struggled to keep her eyes open as she watched the figure approach her. She didn’t care who it was. She wanted to beg the person to just let her go. She didn’t know if the document was still in the same place it was when she had dropped it earl
Desperate Measures CHAPTER 92: Running For Help
Aldo had a chair facing the door. He was sure that Liya was supposed to return that night. She told him that she was going to go back to Damian’s house and quickly pick something. Then she was going to make her way out. But it was way past midnight, and she wasn’t back yet. Aria was in the chair adjacent to his. She had only stayed up late like that once in her life. And that was the day their mom died. Aldo could only hope that she didn’t think to that extent. She had her hand under her chin as she tried to focus on the cooking show that was playing on the television. But Aldo could see right through her. Her frequent glances at the clock and the door. Or the little sighs that she let out. She didn’t want to ask Aldo if something had happened to Liya on the way. Or if Damian had done something to her. She shook her head to shake off the bad thoughts. Liya had left the house as Irene. And according to what she had heard, Damian was obsessed with Irene… or that version of Liya.
Desperate Measures CHAPTER 91: Tied Up
Her head hurt, and she let out a little moan as she looked around the room, taking in the sight and noticing everything that seemed different. That wasn’t the room that Liya remembered as hers. In fact, nothing looked similar. Nothing seemed familiar. Who would dare to tie her up in a room like that? The room was shady and she was tied to a hard chair that made her waist hurt.There was only one single flickering dim bulb right above her head. As she tried looking up, the bulb suddenly became so bright that her eyes and her head hurt badly. She could feel her dress sticking to her skin. It was soaking wet. She didn’t know what happened, but she was wet. She pulled against the ropes, wanting to get out of that place as quickly as she could. She didn’t know who would have done something like that. The document that she had thrown downstairs was the only thing that mattered and she had to get it back. It might enter the wrong hands again if she didn't do that soon. She was worrying so
Desperate Measures CHAPTER 90: Caught
Liya was very thankful that she had someone like Lillian in the house. She didn’t know how else she was supposed to get into the house without Damian or Alana suspecting anything. As Lillian opened the door with a frown on her face, she looked Liya over.“What are you doing outside at a time like this?” She asked as Liya walked in, trying as hard as she could, not to make any sound. She had her shoes in her hands, and she somehow managed to maneuver her way into the house without making any noise. She was fully aware of Lillian walking behind her, but she wasn’t even ready to answer her. Lillian finally grabbed her shoulder, making Liya look at her while biting her lip. She could still feel Aldo’s hands all over her, and the only emotion she felt was guilt. After talking to him, she went to the shower. She wasn't capable of acting normally at that moment. She didn’t want her actions to alarm him. She didn’t want him to worry about her. She wanted to handle everything just as she shou
