A little show of love goes a long way… ***** Liza snorted, unamused. “And why the hell am I not allowed to go to this meeting with you? These days, I wonder if my position as your PA is just a formality. ” Liza hated naggers but at the moment, she was so annoyed with everything and she could not stop herself. Mike groaned! “I told you Liza, this particular man I am meeting is a lecherous rake and I will rather use my energy in closing the important deal than fighting him off you.” The man in question is a powerful Prince from one of the Asian countries and Mike knew how much he coveted beautiful women. ‘But, Prince or not, Mike would not hesitate to tear his face apart, should he look at his woman with those lecherous eyes. So for peace’s sake, he was keeping them apart.’ He decided silently. “Even I would love to meet a Prince, Mike. And a lecherous rake at that. ” Like told him with a pout. “What? Are. you. out. of. your. fucking. mind?” Mike was so startled by this bold asse

It makes sense for one party to be at least reasonable… *****Having expected more opposition from Liza, her capitulation threw him greatly.“Really? Do you agree with this?” He asked in a surprised tone.“Why not? Seems to be what you want, so yea, let’s do it.” She shrugged carelessly.Not totally pleased with her nonchalant attitude, Mike was nevertheless glad for her capitulation. He could afford to overlook other things.He left the table in a small shout of joy to lift her for a hug and smooch.Liza laughed!“I will call mum and tell her to move things forward. With the Stanford's power, anything can be done and you will still have your perfect wedding babes.” He told her smugly before taking her mouth in a soft kiss.‘Yes! He did it. He convinced her.Let’s see how that useless ex boyfriend of hers will mess things up even if he back in London city.’ He concluded smugly.******Few days later, Liza was walking out of the mall when she heard her name.“Hello Liza.” Tom greeted

Lies from loved ones can hurt more than a knife… ****** Yesterday, Tom had given her his card before she walked away, believing that she might want to talk. At the time, Liza had scoffed silently, sure there was no reason she would want to have anything further to do with a bastard like him. But now, right now, she hesitates, deeply thinking as she held her mobile helplessly in her palm. Tom was her ex, the abuser who once put her in the hospital for weeks on end. Which means, he probably knows more and he can tell her what she doesn’t know? So why not meet up with him for the last time and make him talk? Considering Liza could remember the past and she had already concluded Mike definitely knew nothing about Tom being her abuser, a tiny part of her wondered what she was trying to hear from Tom. It's obvious she did not trust her own conclusion and she was expecting Tom to tell her some things. Not willing to dig deep into her heart, Liza ignored the little voice, telling hers

A world of lies…*****She was looking so stumped, he finally noticed her stillness.“Liza? Hello?” He waved his hand in front of her face and slowly, Liza snapped back to the present.“Repeat what you said earlier, this time slowly.” Liza demanded.“I said Suzanne and Mike, your boss, knew I was the one who battered you and left you dead in your flat. I got to know when I called Suzanne again a few days later, pretending to be a colleague and she told me you were still in a coma, with your boss not leaving your side for one seconds. She then started swearing and cursing your useless boyfriend, not knowing I was the one she was talking to.”“I can still remember how I hurriedly ended the call that day, worried she might get suspicious with my questions.” Even then, despite the fact he was out of London, Tom kept having nightmares about Liza and the police chasing him.With an ashen face that had gone so white with shock, Liza did not say anything. Picking up her purse, she stood up s

Only a bully would go around, threatening people…*******There was a persistent knock at the door and Liza groaned vexedly. It was patently obvious the caller was not willing to leave without her presence at the door.Trying to remember if she had ordered anything from the hotel before sleeping, Liza pushed her feet groggily to the door.Impatiently, the bell peeled again and Liza screamed.“What the heck? Are you going to hold the hell on?” She asked furiously and just because she was rushed, she forgot to check through the peephole. A move she immediately regretted when she opened the door.Totally took by surprise, she kept staring without saying a word.“Close your mouth, Liza, else the flies will have a feed day.” Mike was sardonic and mocking.Liza snapped her mouth shut. She was not ready to be a source of amusement, at least not to Mike.She did not respond to his taunts though. Rather, she folded her arms across her chest belligerently.“Want to stand here all day?” He ask
