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
Liana's POV I didn't know what was happening, and if I was being honest, I wasn't sure I wanted to know. A groan slid past my lips as pain blossomed all around me. It started from the center of my skull, before spreading down and into places I didn't even know was possible. My lungs were on fire, and every breath I took felt like it would be the last. Like all of that wasn't bad enough, I had no idea where the hell I was. Was I dead? As far as I know, it was said that dead people couldn't feel pain once they were gone or in the afterlife, and right now, what I was feeling was more than pain. In fact, I could bet my life that the right word to describe my situation, hadn't been discovered yet. So if I wasn't dead, yet, what the hell was going on? I slowly peeled my eyes open, and believe me when I said it was nothing like I imagined. Smoke billowed into my eyes and mouth, and a series of coughs raked through my entire body. My eyes burned, but I just couldn't afford to keep the
Chapter 138Liana's POV I really thought finding out the perfect gift for Kieran would be the hardest thing I would have to do. But in a huge twist of events, it turned out to be the exact opposite. Apparently, picking a gift was the easiest thing I could do of all things, and the hardest just happened to be keeping my mouth shut about it all. Prior to this, I used to think I could guard everg secret I encountered. Why, because the very few I knew, I guarded it like my life depended on it, and since I could keep secrets, one would think that it would be pretty easy for me to keep my mouth shut about a potential surprise. I was wrong. Very very wrong. Like I wasn't already going through enough as it was, Kieran just had to come into the picture. If was one thing having to keep the secret from him, and if was one thing getting a grip on myself when all I wanted was to spill it to him. I'd lost count of the number of times I was this close to telling him I was going to get him
Liana's POV I had no idea why I hadn't thought about it till now. I'd always prided myself on the fact that I was a really thoughtful person, and that I took tinu details to heart, but right now, I couldn't but think maybe it was time to take a step back. How could I have missed it? The signs were glaring and in front of me, so how could it have skipped my mind? Had I been that occupied with snooping out Richard's secret that I was losing focus of other important things? I didn't give myself an answer immediately, but I felt I didn't need one. Deep down, I knew the truth, and whether I admitted it or not, nothing was going to change that. “Liana?” The sound of my name beside me was all it took to pull me out of my thoughts. I blinked back a couple of seconds, willing my eyes to adjust to my immediate surroundings again. Richard's face came into view first, and I didn't miss the shock etched into his expression. “Are you okay?”“Yeah. Yeah.” I nodded. “I'm sorry, I just zoned out
