- Familiar Stranger Chapter 40 The name that Slipped
Liam PovThe journalists took the cue and began dispersing. Guests slowly moved towards the banquet hall, their conversations were a low murmur that filled the room.“Why don’t you join Mom and the others for dinner?” I said, gently removing Rose’s hand from my arm. “I’ll be back before you even notice I’m gone.”“I’ll wait for you.” She replied, her fingers tightening slightly as she placed her hand back on my arm. “We can have dinner together once you’re done.”“Just do as I say,” I cut in, my tone sharper than intended. The politeness that I was holding was long gone.I pulled my arm free and walked away without waiting for her response. I could feel her displeasure without turning back. But I didn’t stop.I walked aimlessly through the hall, my steps slowing as the crowd thinned.Why was I still here? Why hadn’t I left? I didn’t have an answer.My gaze moved across the room, restless, searching for something that I can’t even name .And then my gaze stopped ,on her.She

Catherine PovSamantha was right the dance step could be performed by anyone. That can’t be the basis for accusing anyone. I was scanning the room when my eyes landed on my son Liam who was looking restless and was explaining something to Kabir who was sitting next to him . All of a sudden, his gaze shifted and halted. I followed his gaze and was shocked to find him looking intently towards Miss Blake who was holding his gaze. But why is he so interested in her. What is it that has attracted her. I need to find. Things are not so simple as they look on the surface.I scanned the room once again and found a corner which was slightly less crowded . Picking my belongings I went there and dialled a number. At first, it was not answered. I tried again, this time the call was connected . A sharp baritone voice boomed from other side.“ Hello, good evening, madam.” His voice was steady and controlled.“ Daniel where were you? I was calling you.” I asked, irritation slipping through desp

Samantha PovWith slow steps, I walked toward the podium and stopped near the bowl.My hands trembled slightly as I reached inside and picked a folded chit. My heart was beating rapidly. The moment I read the chit, my body shivered. For a brief moment countless what-ifs rushed through my mind.What if he recognises me. No. This can't happen. Not now.I quickly pushed the thoughts away.Don’t forget , you are Samantha and no one knows who you are . I reminded myself firmly.This single thought was enough to calm my racing heart, but still my body stiffened. I carefully read the name aloud.“Liam Turner.”The moment I announced the name, the lights dimmed and soft romantic music filled the hall.With low and hesitant steps Liam walked toward me and took my hand. Together we moved slowly towards the dance floor.The moment his fingers touched mine, a shiver ran down my spine.His touch revived those memories that I had buried deep inside my mind.Memories of Kashmir.The good old days

Liam Pov The dance halted when the music changed.Samantha gracefully slipped her hand out of mine and walked away. Yet the warmth of her touch lingered on my palm. The moment she left, my hands felt strangely cold.I loosened my tie and walked toward the bar.After taking my drink, I chose a table that was a little away from the main crowd. Sitting there, I kept gazing at the amber liquid in my glass.Why does she feel so familiar?The moment she placed her hand on my shoulder, it felt like a homecoming. Her touch sent a warmth through me that travelled straight to my heart and eased something deep inside. And the way she clapped her hands before twirling, hitting my palm mid-spin as if we were playing a high five. Just as Sanjana used to do.My chest tightened. Her touch had felt too familiar. When she leaned against my chest during the dance, it felt like a balm to my aching heart.I have danced with countless women, but I have never felt this way with any of them. Not even with

Third Person POVShe was the last one to step forward.The moment she unfolded the chit and said, “Liam Turner,” the lights dimmed. Soft music flowed through the hall like a quiet invitation. One by one, couples moved toward the dance floor.Kabir extended his hand towards Rose. She ignored it. Instead, she stepped ahead without touching him. Kabir moved quickly and caught up with her, gripping her hand firmly before she could pull away. He forcibly placed her hand on his shoulder and rested his palm at her waist.“Don’t you dare cross your boundaries.” She hissed, her nose scrunched, jaw clenched. Her nails dug sharply into his palm. Kabir winced but said nothing.Rose’s anger doubled when Kabir twirled her and her eyes landed on Liam and Samantha.On the far end Liam walked toward Samantha slowly. His steps were neither casual nor playful.He studied her eyes as though searching for something buried deep within them. A familiarity that he can’t quite place.When his hand settled o

Third Person pov All the eyes turned towards her. Samantha bent quickly, pretending to dust her gown as if the broken plate were her only concern. Her breath came unevenly. Tiny beads of sweat formed along her temple. Before she could steady herself, Liam stepped forward. “Be easy, Miss. Accidents do happen.” His voice was calm, reassuring. He handed her a glass of water. Their fingers brushed. A spark. Not imagined. Not subtle. Liam felt it shoot through him like live current. His jaw tightened slightly. He had never reacted like this before ,not even with Rose. Except once. Except years ago. Only for one person. Sanjana. He pulled out his handkerchief and gently wiped the perspiration from her forehead. She didn’t move. Didn’t resist. Didn’t breathe. Their eyes locked. Something unspoken passed between them, a recognition without logic. Memory without proof. Helping her made him feel alive. And that terrified him. At the far end, partially hidden behind a pillar, R

Sanjana Pov Liam stretched out his hand, and I took it. He pulled me up, and together we started toward the road. What had seemed so distant and lost in the night was, in truth, quite near. In no time, we reached our rental car . The drive back to the house was painfully silent. The storm had cle

Sanjana POV Liam’s phone felt surprisingly heavy in my palm, so warm that it almost pulsed against my skin. I lifted my gaze to him, feeling utterly helpless as the flickering light from the small window caught the contours of his face—an ever-present blend of calm and concern that somehow steadi
