Power’s Price

"Liana and Tony exchanged glances, then turned to their respective mothers."Mom, we have plenty of time to plan this wedding," Liana said.Tony nodded in agreement, adding, "That's right, there's no rush."Ms. Victoria and Ms. Black looked at their children before Ms. Victoria responded, "You may feel that way, but the sooner you marry, the better. You're both old enough to settle down, so it's time to start planning."Tony gave Liana a pointed smirk as he glared at her. She kept quiet, knowing that arguing with either of their mothers would be pointless."Liana, come outside. I want to talk to you," Tony said, standing up and leaving the ward.Liana followed him, aware that he was upset about the conversation they had just had. They walked to a secluded area of the hospital grounds, where Tony turned to her, his eyes blazing with anger.With a quick movement, Tony grabbed Liana by the throat and pushed her against the wall, his face contorted in rage."Do you think you and your moth

Envy’s Curse

In the afternoon, Liana stirred from a deep sleep, groaning as she stretched. She glanced at the clock, and realized she had slept for so long. Just then, a knock at the door disturbed the quiet of her apartment. With a curious frown, she moved to answer it and was met with the unexpected sight of her mother, Ms. Black, and Rose."Mom? Why are you here? I thought you were still in the hospital." Liana asked in surprise, concern evident in her voice. Ms. Black smiled and stepped forward, her movements still slightly cautious, a remnant of her recent illness. "I'm doing much better now, darling. The doctor discharged me this afternoon. I wanted to come and tell you the news in person."Liana's eyes lit up with relief. "That's wonderful, Mom. I am so happy to hear it. How are you feeling now? Anything I can get you?" She moved aside to let them enter. Rose and Ms. Black took a seat on the sofa, and Liana's mother glanced around the apartment before turning back to her daughter."I'm

False Promises

At night, Liana sat with her mother, talking softly when her phone buzzed. Glancing at it, she saw a message from Tony."Come outside," the message read.Liana stood, her heart racing, and peeked out the window. Tony stood beside his car, alone, his phone in hand."What does he want now?" she wondered."Liana, what's wrong?" her mother asked, concern etching her face."Mom, I need to meet Tony downstairs," Liana replied.Ms. Victoria nodded, her expression softening. "Alright, darling, just be safe."Liana nodded, her heart still pounding as she made her way outside. As she approached Tony, she tapped his shoulder."Hey, you're here," he said, lifting her up and carrying her to his car.Liana was surprised and confused, her mind racing. "What are you doing, sir?" she asked, her voice trembling.Tony removed a stray strand of hair from her face, his expression suddenly serious."Can't I make my girlfriend… happy anymore?" Tony asked, his hand caressing her cheek.Liana's heart skipped

The Scent Of Uncertainty

In the quiet hours of the morning, Liana dutifully cooked breakfast for her mother, patiently waiting for her to finish eating and take her medication before leaving for work. She embraced her mother, offering a final goodbye as she stepped outside the house."Take care of yourself, Mom," Liana said, squeezing her mother's hand."And you too, my darling," Ms. Victoria replied with a warm smile.As Liana made her way out, she was greeted by her sleepy younger sister, Sarah."Hey, Sarah. Don't you have a lecture today? " Liana said, noticing her sister rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Yes, sis," Sarah responded, yawning. "You're off to work?"Liana nodded, "Yes, please take care of mom while I'm gone. Have a great day at school, okay?""You too!" Sarah called out as Liana dashed out the door.Stepping into the bustling city streets, Liana quickly hailed a cab.As the cab pulled away from her home, Liana stared out the window, lost in thought. She considered giving Tony a chance, since

A Lover’s Trap

Liana was caught in the middle of her evening shift in the kitchen, and was taken aback when Tony entered with a wink. She did not want to draw attention, so she averted her gaze, and Tony understood her signal. He smirked and left the kitchen, but not before sending a message to Liana. “Babe, see me in my office… I missed you.”Satisfied with his work, Tony returned to his office with a smile, envisioning Liana falling deeper into his trap.Suddenly he heard a knock, Tony hid the picture of Liana he had been admiring and called out, “Come in.” Liana entered the office and stood before him, her gaze fixed on the floor as she tried to avoid his intense stare.“Hey, you don’t need to be like that. Come here,” Tony said as he pulled her into his arms, wrapping his body around hers. A soft gasp escaped Liana’s lips as she felt a shiver run down her spine, and she found herself struggling to free herself from his grasp.“Tony, we’re in the office,” Liana protested, her voice barely above a

Love And Deceit

Two days later, on a bustling Sunday afternoon, the Black household was alive with activity. Ms. Black monitored the maids as they arranged the dining table to perfection, her keen eye ensuring that every detail was in place. After she was satisfied with the preparations, she ascended the stairs to her bedroom, where she would change before Liana and her mother arrived.As Ms. Black discussed the final preparations with her husband, Tony entered the room with a smile.“Mom, is everything ready? I can’t wait to see Liana,” he said excitedly.Ms. Black playfully teased her son. “Ohh, darling! You are madly in love, aren’t you? Can’t stop thinking about your Liana,” she said with a warm smile.Tony pouted, feigning annoyance at his mother’s teasing. “Mom, please, stop it!” he protested, but the affection in his voice was obvious.His father, Mr. Black, chuckled as he climbed out of bed.“My boy, you are truly a man now,” Mr. Black said with pride. “I have postponed your wedding with Lian

A Web Of Lies

After breakfast, the family made their way to the living room to relax, leaving the maids to clear the dining table. As they sat watching a movie, Tony kept glancing at Liana, his smile revealing the hidden plan behind his affection.Suddenly, Mr. Black announced, “I need to discuss something with you all.” The family turned their attention to him, all except Tony and his mother who knew exactly what Mr Black was about to reveal.“I want to take this moment to thank God for blessing Mrs Victoria with such a wonderful daughter.” he said.“As you all know, Tony and Liana’s wedding is just three days away. We have decided to hold the ceremony next Saturday,” Mr. Black continued, his voice steady and confident.Mrs. Victoria nodded in agreement, her expression a mixture of pride and gratitude. “I am so happy my daughter is getting married to such a wonderful man,” she said, her eyes misty with emotion.The room fell silent, save for the soft background noises of the television. Tony’s gaz

Beneath The Facade

Tony and Liana basked in the warmth of each other’s company when Liana spotted Rose. “Rose, you made it!” she exclaimed.Tony’s gaze, however, was locked on the stunning figure gliding towards them. “Who is this?” he inquired, his voice betraying his fascination.“This is my best friend, Rose,” Liana introduced. “And Rose, this is my fiancé, Tony.”Rose extended her hand towards Tony, who took it on his own, lingering just a moment longer than necessary. The electricity of the moment wasn’t lost on Liana, who shot a questioning glance at Rose.“I’ll get you some ice cream, Rose,” Liaba said, and Rose nodded.With Liana out of sight, Rose stealthily slinked closer to Tony, her seductive smile exuding an irresistible charm.“You look so handsome, Mr. Tony,” she purred, her eyes raking over his face.Tony responded with a flirtatious smirk. “Thanks. And you’re not so bad yourself. Mind giving me your number?”As they exchanged phone numbers, Rose leaned in, her lips grazing Tony’s cheek.

The Mask He Wears

Liana woke up, her eyes adjusting to the gentle morning light filtering in through the bedroom window. To her surprise, she found Tony lying beside her, their bodies mere inches apart. She let out a sleepy yawn as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.Just as she was about to climb out of bed, Tony’s arm reached out and pulled her back. “Can we sleep together for a few more minutes?” he asked, his eyes still closed in a sleepy haze.Liana’s irritation rose at Tony’s attempt to keep her in bed. “Tony, I’m still mad at you. Just let me go,” she said, pulling her hand away from his grasp with a firm jerk.Tony smirked, unfazed by her anger. “Come on, Liana,” he teased, sitting up in bed and taking her hand. “What happened?”Liana turned to face him, her expression clouded with frustration. “You didn’t show up when I needed you yesterday.” Her voice was low and steady, each word carrying the weight of her disappointment.Tony rolled her eyeball and spoke . “Liana, I’m so sorry. I got caugh

The Heart Of Deceit

After breakfast, Liana and Tony prepared for work, and before long, they were standing outside the house, the faint aroma of freshly cut grass wafting in the air. Liana hopped into the passenger seat, and Tony ignited the engine, smoothly maneuvering the car out of the driveway. As Tony navigated the streets, Liana turned to him, her eyes serious. “Tony,” she began, her voice delicate yet determined, “Can you please not drop me in front of the hotel?” Tony’s brow furrowed slightly as he looked over at her. “Why is that? What’s wrong? Do you not want your colleagues to see us?” Liana nodded slightly. “I’m just worried that if they see us together, they might start gossiping about us.” Tony smiled, his expression warm and reassuring. “Liana, don’t be scared. “Remember, I’m here with you,” Tony continued, his hand gently grasping hers. “And no one dares to gossip about us.” Liana’s lips curved into a slight smile, her shoulders relaxing ever so slightly. “I guess you’re righ
