Liana's POV If I had thought the conversation at the table was weird, then clearly, I was in for an entirely different thing altogether. A wave of silence blanketed the entire room, and Richard's words hung in the air. I allowed it to sink in, but no matter how many times the words echoed in my head, I just couldn't make sense of it.“In other packs.” He'd finished the words before Kieran could even complete the sentence. “I understand. And I can really help you with that. I don't even mind going as far as four packs, just to see if the problem is fixed.”Just like that? It was a nice gesture, don't get me wrong, but right now, that was the last thing I expected to happen. Judging from the fact that in the beginning, Richard was totally against the project in the first place, and now, he was volunteering to help him out, by going all the way to packs four times farther than our
Liana's POV I was stunned. In fact, when I said I hadn't been as shocked as I was right now, then best believe I wasn't bluffing. My mind whirled with different thoughts, and like that wasn't enough, these same thoughts went into a million and one directions all at once. No matter how hard I tried to reel them all in, they seemed to have a mind of their own. A very dangerous one at that too. I couldn't breathe. For some strange reason, it felt like my lungs were closing in on me. I knew that if I didn't breathe anytime soon, I would pass out, and that wpuldbr be a good thing. I trailed my eyes back to the monitor again. A small part of me had thought that if I ignored the footage, then maybe something would change, but I couldn't be more wrong. “Ma'am?” A small voice from the side was all it took to pull me out of my thoughts. I turned, just to see the manager staring at me. “Is everything okay?”“Um..” I tried to speak, but I couldn't bring myself to force the words out. “I,
Liana's POV I didn't rest,there was no way I could. No matter how hard I tried, I always found one thing or the other bugging my thoughts. “You need to relax.” Kieran's words made their way to my mind. “I want you to do that while I'm gone today. Okay?” “Yes.” I'd responded. “Don't worry. I will.” I didn't tell a lie when I told him I was going to rest, but in my defense, I'd been trying to do that all day, but to no avail. No matter what I tried, or what method I used, it just didn't work. In fact, you could say that the more I tried to rest, the more restless I became. It was like trying to do something, and getting the exact opposite of it. I honestly tried taking a stroll in the gardens, and even sunbathing, but nothing seemed to work. By the time it was high noon, I literally gave up even trying. It was no longer possible to follow what Kieran had asked of me, so I decided to put my day to good use. And by good use, I simply meant trying to analyze and figure out who coul
Liana's POV I didn't know what to think after the whole aftermath of the events that had happened recently. In fact, if someone were to have walked up to me, just to tell me that I was going to see Kieran so mad at me for the first time, I would have probably laughed si hard that i would have shit my pants in the process. If someone had also predicted that I was going to end up being right about Richard, then I would have called them a fool and said to their faces that they were just being delusional.The irony.Even in a million years, I didn't see everything backfiring on me the way it did yesterday. In fact, if I was being honest with myself, I still hadn't come to terms with the fact that all of that had really happened. I was still yet to convince myself that Kieran had actually yelled at me and called me reckless, and Richard had flaunted a smug smile in my direction after accusing him of causing my acc
Liana's POV When Kieran and I had left the hospital, I didn't know how I felt. Perhaps it was exhaustion or it had something to do with the trauma of almost losing your life and watching it flash before your eyes, I wasn't exactly sure. All I knew, was the fact that I wanted the hollow feeling inside me to disappear. I always knew life was fickle, but the amount of time it took for something to go horribly wrong, was too little, I couldn't even bare it anymore. Tiva and I had set out today to get Kieran's favorite paintbrushes. None of us would have been able to predict that we would get into an accident, and if the driver hadn't acted when he did, then the chances that she would have gone up into flames alongside the car, was very very high. It was the height of it all, that made me slightly nauseous, and also increased the burning in my skin. I didn't want Kieran to find out, but I knew he would eventually. Trying to keep it from him would be equivalent to trying to hide the
Kieran's POV I hated waiting, more than I hated anything, but right now, I wasn't sure I had any other choice than to do one of the things I hated the most. In fact, I wasn't sure which was worse, the fact that I literally didn't have a choice here, or if I did decide to leave, it would actually turn into a disastrous train of events. A small thud from the right was all it took to pull me out of my thoughts. I jerked up immediately, but apparently, it wasn't too much of a big deal. The doctor had dropped something to the ground, and he was only trying to pick it up. “Are you going to use that?” The words tumbled past my lips faster than I could catch them. In fact, I didn't even realize I'd said it, until both people in the room turned to me. “I mean, it fell to the ground right, shouldn't it be sterilized?”“Kieran.” I turned my head sharply to the side, just to see Liana staring at me. She had an unreadable look in her eyes, but the small frown that tugged on her lips told m
