Chapter 11: Boxed In
“We’ve arrived, madam”
A voice brought her slumbering senses back to reality. Giving a nod to the man in front, she fixes herself before exiting the black, luxurious vehicle. Accompanied by a well-suited young man, she enters the lavish, commercial skyscraper through the detached VIP entrance.
Days may have passed, but the bomb they threw that day was still the craze. It continued to linger throughout all corners of high society. So much that it eventually reached…that person’s ears.
Evading the sights of any influential person present in the building, the man guided her inside the VIP elevator, situated on the separate corner of the grand lobby. The elevator itself was s

She felt herself shaking as the words she dreaded far too long escaped her lips. The slumbering anger inside her, the shattered hopes of a young child who yearned for her father and brother's love. The innocent wishes that weren't supposed to be begged for. Those hopelessness, accumulated by the passage of time, made her question the very meaning of her existence.These people in front of her…were the first…to break her.How cruel must they be?"Oh? Don't act like you're surprised now. You knew it, so damn well. I may have carried YOUR name, yet you NEVER accepted me as YOUR OWN." "And family you say? Are you kidding me?...Since when was I treated like the Smith's sole princess…? Fuck being a princess, I wasn't even treated like a decent human being in your fucking grand mansion!"She screamed bloody hell, unable to suppress the surging emotions. Her breathing staggered, her nails found its way to her palms, digging deeper to her delicate skin. Yet she paid no mind. What's circling h

"Where are you? Come to my office if you have time this afternoon." Reading the message sent by Leonard Kreisler, Lianna traverses on to the same hallway she passed earlier, wanting to exit the building as soon as possible. The clicking noises sourcing from the high footwear she uncomfortably wore, as it hit the marbled surface of the floor echoed through the deafening silence of the corridors. Keeping herself busy by maintaining focus towards the same VIP elevator she previously rode, a vibration from her phone distracted her. "How did it go?" A single message popped on the screen. It was from Jasper. Her husband. Yet despite their newly-published label, her fingers stopped in their tracks, halting to what seemed to be a reply. She couldn’t find the words appropriate enough to be a reply. How did it go? Did it end well? Bad? Did meeting her previous family satisfied her in the end? Angered her? Lianna felt through countless emotions in just minutes. She felt suffocated being in

"Hey, sir Romero. Do I look shabby?" Lianna’s voice echoed through the elevator. It was just them three inside. With their figures reflected on the glossy finish of the lift, she shifts her gaze on the man on her left side. Still on his prim and proper stance, Lance didn’t even flinch by her sudden remark. She couldn’t help but think about it earlier. She didn’t think about appearances when her sight was still blurry. How could she, when it's taking her all just to move forward without bumping on something and injuring herself. Yet, things have changed in just one day. The clothes she frequently wore wouldn’t suffice for the status she currently possesses. It was the first time she went out since the wedding. Though with the initial agenda of meeting her ex-family, she still picked out the nicest thing she owned from her closet,

A few seconds later, the lift came to a stop and in an instant, she was greeted by an unfamiliar air. The moment the elevators opened, her mouth was slightly flung open as they traversed the peculiar territory.The theme of the place was something she didn’t expect. Rather, it was a complete contrast to the majority of the building design. Her vision was completely used to the glass windows and western feel that she was taken aback by the overpowering wooden structure and paperlike partitions. Intricately crafted stone-like lanterns were also dangling on the corners, unlike the preponderance of luxury chandeliers.The whole place screams….eastern.“I see you’ve taken interest in the interiors.” Selene, although leading the way, still noti

"Who's the man behind you?" Leonard suddenly blurted out after he caught sight of an unfamiliar face among the youngsters. His deep, raven eyes squinted as he gave an intimidating stare towards the only stranger in his midst. In the presence of the Kreisler head, even the stoic Lance Romero showed discomfort in his expression, his eyes wandering elsewhere unknowingly. "Selene. You're fully aware of my rules, especially on this certain part of the building. Why did you let this man in? Kick him out…now." Lianna gulped. Though they had a few encounters in the past, she still couldn't shake the nervousness whenever the chairman was in the vicinity. It's like his default effect. She could feel the sense of urgency emitting from his last sentence, like a warning.

"Callis...""...what..?""Would that name suffice?" Without turning a glimpse, Leonard remained his back against her, with a small, golden watering can at hand.Lianna who immediately flicked her head towards him was left speechless. No one usually calls her second name. Not even her own father Damascene, her brother Stefan…Not even Rupert…For some time, she almost forgot that she had a second name. If it weren't for her mother's diary… she would've remembered.The second name that was derived from her mother's own second name…Callis…&nbs

"Thanks for accompanying me today, Sir Romero.""No need to thank me, madam. It's my job." Lianna frowns as Lance politely bows after his words. They were already back at the hotel and were in front of her room."Haist. You're really stubborn, aren't you?""Pardon?" Lance momentarily pauses, lifting his gaze towards his client with a puzzled expression."Just drop the formalities already. Just call me by my name, you have my permission.""No can do. I'm still on the job.""It's night time. Let's say you're off duty now since I returned to my room."

“Is that all, ma'am and sir?” “Yes, that’s all. Thank you.” With a respectful bow, the waiter takes the menu from their hands and walks back to the kitchen. The hotel restaurant was still booming with guests as it was still dinner time. Seeing the crowd, Lianna wanted to head back to the room and just order from hotel service. Fortunately, Jasper’s influence reaches the hotel. Giving only his name, the management straight away arranged a private table for them on the far corners of the restaurant. With a partition separating them from the general public, Lianna sighs in relief. Lance pushes a basket of complimentary bread to Lianna's direction. "Eat this for now. The food might take a while." the
