STEP ASIDE EX-HUSBAND: THE RISE OF LIANA Chapter 117
Liana's PovThe rain had stopped, but the streets still glistened with water, there were puddles around, some marked with lines that looked like rainbows. Growing up, we were told that it was as a result of oil being on the floor before the rain. The windshield wipers moved lazily now, not because we necessarily needed it but Stanley left it working, squeaking faintly as they moved. I sat in the passenger seat, staring at the road ahead but not really seeing it. My mind was too busy circling the same thoughts over and over, looping back on itself like an old film reel with a scene it refused to move past.“Almost there,” Stanley said, his voice low. It startled me for a second; we’d been in near total silence since leaving the safe house. I glanced at him because I needed the distraction of another face. His hands rested steady on the steering wheel, but there was a kind of tension in his shoulders that told me he understood exactly what we were driving toward.“Thanks,” I murmured, t

Liana's PovThe sun was just beginning to go down when I opened the car door, my purse on my shoulder and my phone loosely held between my fingers. The safe house was silent, still and dark. As I stood in front of it, I sighed. Behind those walls was Serena, the one who held the secrets we were all so desperately wanting to find out.I'd not seen her since the night before the hearing. I had spoken to her over the phone but I needed to see her. I didn't want her feeling like I didn't care. It was because I was busy with cam.. And I alsp didn't want to look at her and see a blank look where fire and confidence once resided. But tomorrow was the next hearing. The pressure was mounting by the minute. I had to see her. I had to check in.I typed in the code and waited a few seconds before I heard the ding. I walked in my pace slower than usual, like my legs did not want to move any further.As I opened the inner door, I sighted her nurse sitting by the dining table munching on some snacks

Liana's PovThe silence in the house was more heavy at night. Cam had fallen asleep earlier after dinner, her fox held tight under one arm, a soft rice smudge remaining on her cheek. I couldn't quite get myself to clean it off… not yet. She was too peaceful.I was scrubbing mugs in the kitchen sink when Mum slid in quietly, the edge of her wrapper sliding over the tiled floor."She's out like a light," she murmured, wringing her hands with a tea towel.I nodded. "She was tired. Hospital really stressed her."Mum leaned against the counter, watching me with a look I was far too used to. That look meant that an argument was coming and it was one I was not going to enjoy."I've been thinking." she began slowly.I let out a groan, bracing myself. "That never means anything good.""I think you should talk to her," she said.I stared at her, confused. "What do you mean?"She gave me a stern glare. "About the case. About what is going on. Not all of it, Liana, but enough so she understands."

Liana's POVMy phone vibrated against the counter as I moved to pick up the kettle. I stopped, dried my hand on a kitchen towel, and picked it up. It was a call from Mason.I paused, then said. "Hello?""Boss," he said in a soft voice. "I spoke with Dominic."I braced myself against the counter, my hand curling around the edge of it. "Yeah?""He accused me and he sounded very furious," Mason said. "Told me I hadn't told him about the new evidence. Something about a vdeo and an audio. He actually thought I'd withheld it from him.""And you told him you didn't know?""Yes I did. I told him I didn't know anything. He sounded like he was doubting so i am not sure what he believes."I did not say anything. I simply listened and llet him rant.“He was also asking why I missed it. Why someone didn't warn him. He said something regarding betrayal, people betraying one another, getting caught off guard," Mason continued. "He was all fired up. I've never heard him like that.""Good," I murmured

Liana's PovThe automatic doors of the hospital swooshed wide as we stepped out, the warm summer air shining on my face. The sun bathed the parking lot in golden light making me squint after the hospital's clinical low illumination.This time, though, the brightness wasn't an issue, It felt like a benediction.Stanley had gone to get the car around while my mum was holding Cam's stuff… a small bag with her things, a worn-out coloring book, and her fox. Cam gripped my hand hard with her own hand smaller but somehow tighter than I remembered.The car stopped in front of us and Stanley jumped out, his strides deliberate but noiseless. He swung open the back door for us and then moved around to the boot to stuff the bag.Cam sat beside me on the backseat, clutching her plush fox like a shield. My mom sat next to her, smoothing her scarf and tapping Cam's knee reassuringly. I was sitting by the window, watching the hospital grow smaller in the side mirror as we pulled away.Stanley toyed w

Liana's POVThe fluorescent lights shone from above, casting sterile patches of light that made all the feelings in my chest feel jagged and raw. My footsteps echoed in lwith Stanley's by my side, each footstep heavy with exhaustion and expectation.I hadn't even realized how deeply I'd been breathing until I saw the familiar corner that led me to Cam's room. My chest eased a bit, but not all the way. Atleast not until I could see her for myself.Stanley followed me, his hand lightly sweeping over the small of my back as we turned the corner. The casual touch anchored me more than he likely knew. It was a firm and unspoken support in the midst of my turmoil. My mother stood just inside by the door her arms folded across her chest with a scarf drawn tightly around her hair as always whenever she was anxious. She looked up the minute we arrived, her eyes locking onto mine with a flicker of worry, relief, and something only mothers carried in the weight of their gaze.“Liana,” she breat
