Mag-log inCHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN LIRA"What do you mean my daughter is gone? How can she just be gone?" My eyes darted around as I started to panic. I no longer cared for Isabelle who was looking around, confused. "Find her! Make sure that you find her! Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on her?" I barked at the maid. Kiara was my life. If something really happened to my daughter, then I really didn't know how I would be able to live on! "I...I was watching her , then she said she wanted to get some snacks from the buffet and then I...I...just lost sight of her!" The maid cried pitifully as she said this. I badly wanted to lose my temper at her, but I could see that she was scared enough. And besides, Kiara was the only person I could think of right now. "Alright, calm down, there are so many people here today and I am sure there she won't have disappeared. We should split up and look for her , I am sure we will find her in no time!" Isabelle comforted me. "What does she look li
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIXLIRAI had a glass of wine in my hand as I mingled through the crowds, a perfect smile on my face. The eyes of all of that guests followed me, as they tried to guess who I was, but I didn't say anything to anyone of them. I was the star of the night, and I was now above all of those people. Over the years, my father had grilled into me that I had to show people there I was in charge, or else, I would be trampled on and taken advantage of in a world like this! As I made my way through the dense crowds, someone walked up to me, with a glass of wine in her hand to toast me. She was not tyr first person to do this tonight, and I would usually ignore whoever tried to speak to me since my father had not officially introduced me. However, I couldn't bring myself to make any moves when I saw her face. "Hello, Miss Fiona. I never thought that I'd see you here," Isabelle said, a smile on her face. I smiled too when I heard her words, I would never believe
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVESEBASTIAN The soft lights in the hall shone on the necklace and it made me boil with anger deep down. What the heck was this?! It wasn't no ordinary necklace, it was the ocean heart, one of the necklaces my mother had left behind when she died, and the necklace that I had given to Lira when we attended our first banquet together. I could still remember how beautiful she looked wearing that necklace! After Lira went missing, Isabelle decided that it would be a good idea to mass produce it and put it on the seemarket. I had too much going on there, and I didn't really care about what Isabelle had been doing. By carefully mimicking Lira and even wearing this necklace today, it was quite obvious what this woman was trying to do. I felt disgust for me, but the woman, on her part, had a bashful smile on her face as if she was pleased with herself. The heck?!"What do you mean, Sebastian?" The woman asked me, an innocent look on her face .However, her

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOURSEBASTIAN I walked into the large hall that was bustling with people with Isabelle hanging on my arms..Dante, as well, as a few of my guards were behind me. There was no way that I would come to such a high profile event all on my own. Besides Dante and the guards who had entered with me, they were also hidden guards in the room, ready to jump in to protect me whenever there was a chance. All eyes were on me as I made it through the room with my sister , and I could hear people whispering about me. I didn't care to listen to what they were saying to me, but their blantant gazes were starting to get annoying. "Look at all of those people looking at you. I am sure that all of the women here are planning on how to throw themselves at you. After all, it's basically impossible to see you on a normal day," Isabelle teased me with a smile on my face ."Heh," I gave a short snort. None of these mattered to me..I knew that the women who were interested in
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREELIRAI looked at the well decorated hall, and I sighed deeply. Five years ago, I had been exposed to this life, however, I always felt like an imposter since I was living with someone's identity. Now, I was back to this place. I had my own father, as well as my own identity, however, I still felt like she was an imposter. Someone who was living a lie. I was no longer Lira, but now Fiona, the woman who had been through hell, the woman who lost her face, her eyesight, and almost her child. The woman who was now here for revenge. Everything had changed in the past five years, and I felt like she could no longer remember the person that I was in the past. It seemed that in the distant past, I was someone who just wanted to live a simple life, now, revenge was the only thing I seemed to think of. Revenge...and the wellbeing of my daughter. "What are you thinking about?" I turned sharply when I heard that familiar voice. It was my father, Jules. I si
CHAPTER NINETEEN LIRA "Mr. Cross, I don't think this has anything to do with you, right? I don't think you should be butting into this!" Cynthia's snarl interrupted my thoughts. Damien smirked at her, his expression dismissive as he glared at Cynthia. It was obvious that he did not take her s
CHAPTER TWENTY LIRAOur hands were linked together as we walked around the large hall. Time seemed to stop every now and then, as everyone's attention was focused on us. A few armed men stood on alert, watching everything going on with cold menacing gazes, and my heart jumped. I inched closer t
CHAPTER FIFTEENLIRA"What?" He approached me, his gaze fierce as he glared at me. My heart raced fast against my chest, and my palms were sweaty thinking about what Sebastian was going to do to me. However, I did not want to give in at all. I met his gaze head on, refusing to lower my head this
CHAPTER THIRTEENLIRA Reaching out my shaking hand, I touched the face of the woman in the portraits. The woman in the portraits was indeed my mother..... She had been dead since I was five years old, and I barley knew anything about her, yet...she was my mother. What was a portrait of my mother
