All Chapters of Desperate Measures: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

“Sexy girl,” one of the customers called out to Liya as she walked past. Even if it took everything in her not to send a slap across his face, she continued pouring his drink into his glass. She looked up the stairs. She was taking her time to get used to the fact that this was her job now. Stupid remarks from people who weren’t even supposed to know her were normal. But then, she knew that it was going to take her time to get used to it. Her eyes had been on the stairs the whole time. She was taking her time to know how things in the club worked. From their routines to their shifts, to the people who were allowed to head up the stairs. Liya was barely doing anything, but she could feel eyes on her. She didn’t need anyone telling her that someone was watching her specifically. Her eyes landed on the CCTV cameras. She could feel Damian’s eyes behind them. He was paying more attention to her than he should. Liya couldn’t help but think that Kay had told him something about her. Or she

Liya didn’t know if she was supposed to expect to meet Aldo there. But as she walked into the empty apartment, she knew that the little conversation they had about Alana had even more effect on him than she thought it ever would. The thought of it all always made her frown. It always made her worry. That was the first time that she had ever seen Aldo remain angry at her. And that was the same reason why Aldo had been angry at Aria last time. Who was Alana and what had happened between them that left such deep marks?She knew that she needed all the sleep in the world at that point. But then, she couldn’t sleep. She still needed to go through the documents that Frank had given her. She had barely taken off her shoes when a knock at the door came. Liya slowly walked down to the door. Even if there was a kind of confidence that came with her being Irene, she still wasn’t able to shake off the feeling that she was being watched from time to time. Or that there was something fishy going

“The other men are waiting for their orders!” Jordan yelled at Liya, but she pretended not to hear him. That was her only chance at getting what she needed. Damian was out of the office, and somehow, there was a malfunction at the system’s control office. All the control buttons had been damaged, meaning that the CCTV cameras were temporarily off. And since it was evening, they all had to wait until morning before the engineers could come and fix it. Liya let out a small smile as she headed up the stairs. It was all her. She was the one who had managed to slip upstairs and damage the control buttons. There was something in her that refused to believe that the file wasn’t in Damian’s office. Even if Frank had assured her that there was nothing there, she still couldn’t get the thought out of her head. She didn’t know why she didn’t trust Frank the way she was supposed to. He was friends with Aldo. But that didn’t make her trust him. She didn’t seem to trust anyone on the list book tha

Damian frowned as he stared at the screens in front of him. He couldn’t seem to understand what Aldo was doing, pulling Irene towards him. He had Liya, didn’t he? And the Aldo that he knew was the most loyal human to exist. He couldn’t cheat on Liya unless something had happened, and he wasn’t aware.As far as he was concerned, no one got access to touch Irene. She was his. Damian felt his hands ball into fists at the sight. “Bring Irene to my office immediately,” he called out to one of the guards and they hurried off to call Liya to Damian’s office. He felt himself exhale as Liya stood right in front of him. ““Irene,” he mouthed her name, and Liya shivered. She didn’t miss the look on Damian’s face. He looked like he was going to kill every single person in the room. She wondered if he had found out that she had come to his office.“You called for me, sir,” she whispered, and he nodded, beckoning her into the room. She took cautious steps, as she allowed him to wrap his hands arou

Aldo paced around the living room. He didn’t know how else he was supposed to remain calm. There was something that made Damian ask Liya to come over to his house. He knew the man more than he knew himself. And as far as he was concerned, there was something more than he was letting on. There was more than anyone could imagine. More importantly, he was already regretting not telling Liya everything that she was supposed to know already. At the back of his head, he could already see her leaving him. He could see Aria never forgiving him for taking away the one person that she had come to love after his first love. She never really bonded with the occasional flings. He didn’t tell her about everything because he was trying to keep her safe. But then, something told him that he was going to regret not telling her. “You didn’t tell her, did you?” Aria asked, and he could barely say anything to defend himself. He just looked away, and he heard her scoff. “She’s going to leave us. Isn’t
