Liana’s P.O.V I stared so intently at her that when she locked eyes with me, she had no option but to duck her head, and worst of it all was that she was fiddling with the hem of her shirt. I tried to recollect if there was any possibility that I had seen her before. However, the more I stared, the more her name didn’t ring a bell in my head.“What did you say your name was?” I asked her while she raised her head, exchanging fleeting glances with Kayla. “Aria,” She answered.I glanced back and forth between Aria and Kayla while Kayla rolled her eyes as she plopped down on the couch, staring at her fingers. Darting my eyes back to Aria, I squinted my eyes at her suspiciously.“When did you start working here? I have never seen you here before. Have you been working here for a long time and did you just get here recently?” I asked her as she pursed her lips slightly.“I-I…..” She stuttered and before she could even talk properly, Kayla interjected. “Oh spare me the bullshit! The maid

LianaMy eyes twitched because even though Bruce Lawrence’s words sounded so real, never in my life would I have believed that my father would do something like that. I believe that he could have retaliated in one of the most extreme ways but stealing was out of it. My father had more than enough for him to ever think of stealing.“My father would never do something like that!” I yelled at him, snatching the phone from Conan.“So who did it? Us? Do you think that we are like your pack who launches an attack on themselves and still blames others for it? The reason why I am being lenient with you is that you have to help me with Co……” I quickly removed it from the loudspeaker, walking towards the corridor in haste.The only thing I wanted to do was to bury my fist in his face! How could he even dare to mention Conan’s name and why was he trying to make it seem like he was doing me a favor?“Bruce, I have never told you this before but your running mouth would kill you before anything e

ConanA scoff escaped my lips while I tilted my head to a side, fixing my gaze on her. Matilda had a confused look on her face as she stood to her feet and waltzed in my direction while lifting a brow. She leaned forward, placing both hands on the table for support while bending slightly.Her mouth turned at one corner into a crooked grin that looked more like she was amused. “I don't mean to be disrespectful. But why did you scoff? Do you think that I am cooking up lies about my sister?”I crossed my hands over my chest. “The last time I checked, I didn't say a word but you were the one who concluded that I didn't believe your words” I answered while she lowered her head, biting the corner of her lower lips tentatively. “Look, Conan. I mean well for you and that is why I am trying to help you see the real side of Liana. Think about this, why would I reveal my sister’s affair to you? I am telling you all of this because I want you to know that I am on your side and would be on your s

ConanFlipping through the pages of the file, I couldn’t help but hiss between my teeth while adjusting my glasses. For the umpteenth time, I have been correcting the same damn thing all over again and at this point, I was more than even frustrated already. A knock landed on the door that led to my office and I didn’t even need to see the face of whoever was at the door before knowing who the person was. It was my secretary. She pursed her lips slightly, taking tiny steps towards me tentatively. The thing was that I didn’t even have the strength to even scream at her so before she could even reach my desk, I flung the file in her direction.“You don't need to come any closer, just pick that file, return to your desk and pack your things because you are fired!” I said in a calm tone, leaning in the swivel chair while I watched as her bottom lips shook with every syllable that attempted to fall out her mouth.“S-Sir, please give me another second chance” She stuttered, clasping her h

Conan's P.O.VMy eyes widened as a scoff escaped my lips. Her words resounded in my ear and everything just sounded like a lie.I banged my fist on the table in anger. "What do you mean by my brother is the father of Kayla's child? What manner of insolence is this?" I yelled at her while she shuddered a breath before shaking her head slowly."Conan, you know that I would never accuse someone of something like that if I am not sure of what I am saying! You know that is unlike me and I swear that I am telling the truth. I swear on my child that your brother is the father of Kayla's child" Amanda said and the look she had on her face depicted that she was sure of what she was saying.Still, I didn't want to believe her words. It sounded absurd and weird, knowing the relationship between Connor and Kayla. Connor was always at the receiving end of Kayla's insult and he would always make mention how he detested Kayla as if his life depended on it.Even if he didn't detest Kayla, he would ne
