Liana Moore _____ I swallowed the pain reliever pills to help with my headache. It felt as though my head was mercilessly whacked with a sledgehammer. After I rested the glass of water on the kitchen plateau, I pushed myself and sat on the wooden stool.I stared outside through the glass wall, the view outside was the swimming pool area. The lights inside the house were turned off so the only source of light that allowed me to navigate around the kitchen was from the pool area.The house was so serene, everyone was asleep including Mary. I was the only one awake since I was waiting for Oliver.I needed to know where he stood. The case was delicate so I was in dire need to know if they found the real mule.The whole day went on with me on my laptop as I went through the news. The news was spreading like a forest fire. WowFood was making it big. I wondered who was framing me to the extent of setting me up with someone I did not know. It reminded me of when I was in the club, the guy
Liana Moore ____I was engaged in the laptop as I went through some products that FitFood ever launched in past years. They were all a hit, except for one product that never did well in the market. It was a breakfast cereal made of whole-grain wheat.I went through some details about it, wondering what could have been the issue that customers did not like it.I lifted my face from the laptop when the door squeaked. Oliver pushed it open and ambled in carrying his laptop. He had taken a shower, his hair was all pushed behind and tied in a ponytail. He wore a white tee and black sweatpants. He walked around the table and sank on the black leather seat behind the office table. I averted my gaze from him to the laptop. I needed to also give ideas."What do you have?" He asked while opening his laptop. He pressed several keys and then gazed at me."Not yet." I scrolled down the laptop screen. "Should the product be from the farm?""Looking into what the company intended to launch this ye
Liana Moore ___ After a hectic day, which was worth it, all the employees gathered to celebrate the successful launch of the product. We were all in the company kitchen, late at 8 pm, as we also got to enjoy a free tryout of the new flavors that were launched. I was delighted to also see Oliver join us to try the new flavors.After the news about me being the mule in the company, I gained more haters. No one was looking my way and if they did, the glares they offered were clear that I was not on anyone's good side.Zip called in the morning to inform me that she was to be absent. Her mother was admitted to the hospital. She was the only person I could have spent the day with. Mikell was busy serving the employees, so there were no chances to have him sit with me at the table.I was seated at the farthest table in the company dining hall. The noises were like bees buzzing around. I couldn't even tell what anyone said as they were chatting in groups.Some were holding a bowl of cere
Oliver Castillo ______ "Don't be ridiculous, Leo, a whore is a whore. They got words to cover up their deeds. I mean, who would even admit they date rich people? No one." Jason hollered and the sound of billiards balls hitting the pool table allowed right after. I was aware that he was playing pool.I sighed as I run my fingers through my hair which was a disheveled mess. I was as confused as fuck. My feelings were the blame, or the unfaithful hormones playing with me."I think it's up to Oliver to find out more about her now that she is staying under his roof." Leo finally let out. We both needed good therapy to help with the weird change in our views about Liana."That bitch is staying in Catillo mansion?" Jason's convulsed. "How come I am hearing this now? What is going on behind my back?""Jason, look," I pulled myself and sat nicely on the bed as I tugged another pillow on my back. I was about to warn him about the foul names he was calling her but I held it, after all, I was n
Liana Moore _____The sad part of all my life tale was not what I experienced, it was to have had no shoulder to lean on when I was at my lowest.But now here he was, Oliver Castillo Ross.He was just behind me with his hands wrapped around me. And that moment, my whole life flashed before my eyes. Everything led to a simple question, why have I never gotten anyone to just hold me so well like I mattered? The tears I always tried to hold were slowly welling up at the surface of my eyes. My burning chest always caught me wanting to rub it and comfort myself. I lifted my hand to my chest. The pain was unbearable. I bit my lip so hard to control the sobs, but I couldn't. I wished he could just stay like that and not see the tears flowing. But he sadly unwrapped his hands off me, resting them on my shoulders.Then he moved slowly in front of me. Once he fully faced me, I shook my head. "I'm not crying." I smiled which came painful. "I'm not crying," I repeated in a fading voice.He sile
Oliver Castillo ______ I took exaggerated steps towards her. To confirm my assumption that she was nervous around me, she also took steps backward. Her eyes were filled with mixed emotions. I could see worry lingering in them, then the dark coat of desire. She made me wonder what was going through her mind. She was wearing a black official skirt which was slightly above her knees. That was matched with an orange blouse that matched the color of her flat closed shoes. Her hair, as always, was held in a high bun, and at that moment, I desired to do a lot to her, like to see her hair falling on her shoulders.The prey got to her end road, I loved how she knew she was caged. The gasp, and the way her hands fell on the table where her butt collided. She was wrong if she thought I would leave her alone. There were things I wanted to confirm. Things like why she was so fucking good at kissing, like why she would melt with one touch and especially to know if she was touched. Yes, maybe I
Liana Moore ____ It had been two days since the incident in the office. I found all ways possible to avoid my boss because we were doing things that were deemed sinful. I just wondered why they were sinfully sweet.The ways his finger opened my walls, penetrating the depths of a place I had never seen, was just fucking delicious. Then the look he gave as if he wanted me to know he was also loving it just the way I was.When I was on edge, I held it, shivering in his hold. Scared I would make him dirty with my juices. But he forced me to pour everything on him. He made me feel like he loved it that way.It was getting out of hand, after learning he was the one who kissed me in the pool, I had been wanting more of him, more than I was supposed to want. And for the sake of my dignity, I was waking up earlier to go look for a place to move, then I would leave work and run off.My haunt for the house was a total failure. I had found another it turned out that the owner was no longer rent
Liana Moore _____ "We are going to LA?" I couldn't help but ask because it was so sudden to travel after what had happened. As if it wasn't even more shocking, Oliver was already driving off, looking all determined. He didn't care to glance at me. "Do you have a problem with that?"Of course, I did, as a matter of fact, it was the weekend, meaning I wasn't working and he had no right to treat me as if I was at work. And for the fact that he just found it necessary to take me with him without caring to alert me in advance, I considered that disrespectful.Okay, fuck that, Mister Ross just woke up."Your father just woke up, Oliver." I noticed how the grip on the wheel tightened as though he would pull it out. If given a chance, I could have taken my words back. But that seemed to be too late because he suddenly pulled over. I stared around in haze then back to him. The way he was raging could have caused the car to blast. "Get out." He gritted. His voice was low but cold. He clenc
Chapter 5___Alessia____A brisk breeze grazed my shoulder, and a shiver ran down my spine. I sluggishly fumbled in search of something to cover myself from the chill, and fortunately, I found one.My body felt relaxed, except for the window of the room that was certainly open, allowing the breeze to sneak in.A soft groan left my throat and ran my hand through my hair. I inhaled the delightful scent on the bedding, enough to bring a smile to my lips.Stretching my hands with a yawn, the breeze grew strong, wafting in the room and carrying with it the scent of the ocean.I grew reluctant to wake up; the bed felt so comfortable that it compelled me to continue sleeping. But my stomach rumbled. I was starving. Most of the time, I rarely woke up hungry. I got used to waking up in the middle of the night to grab some snacks, like cupcakes. Did I skip a meal?Attempting to remember what I had for dinner, visions began gushing in my brain. The untouched delicious meal from the romantic d
Chapter 4___Alessia----Marco turned twenty-five. On the evening of his birthday, the two of us were at his house. Marco suggested a simple setting in his house's backyard. It warmed my heart to see that he wanted to enjoy his birthday with me alone. My dedication to making the relationship work was apparent, given my ability to throw an incredible party. So, I agreed to his proposal of a simple dinner together.He owned a luxurious beach house, one of a kind in the area. Marco was a rich kid, raised by wealthy parents and now running a business. He took over as the president of one of his father's businesses. I would lie if I said I knew what kind of business his father owned. I had been careful not to appear snoopy, so I never asked.The backyard looked gladden in the eyes, complementing the golden dress he sent me. The radiant lights and the candles on the table gave me a certain warmth that made me relax. I admired the commitment he exerted to make the dinner memorable, given
Chapter 3____Alessia___I arrived at Carina’s home.Isabella, Carina's baby sister grinned at me after opening the door for me. Her front teeth were all gone. I bent over and pecked her forehead then gunned towards Carina's bedroom upstairs.Their home was my home, so knew the place in and out. I was like a family to them and I wished my family was as happy as theirs.I stepped into her room. She sat on her bed with a laptop on her lap. She had her headphones on. When she sighted my sudden appearance, she took her headphones off and then crawled out of the bed, shock smeared on her face. "Oh no! Not again?" She scanned my face then took the bag from me. "Yep." I collapsed on the bed, my face idolizing the white ceiling. "Why didn't you call me? I could have picked you up?" She sat beside me. "They could have known that I came here. But this time, I want you to tell them I am not here.""Hm." She snorted "They definitely know you are here." She rubbed my knee. "I wish I could di
Chapter 2____Alessia____I threw my thong on a strangers face.The central part of it lay on the outline of his nose down to his lips. I could have done a lot like to admire his appearance but clearly, I had dressed up a stranger's face with a golden thong. I got up quickly and as a result, the chair fell with a thud and people didn't care about the noise at that moment, like the catastrophic situation I put myself in.The gent towered me. His hands were deeply in his pockets as he started down at me.I opened my mouth and shut it without a single word coming out. I opened it again and there, I found my voice. "That should be mine." Those words fled through my lips and I didn't miss how Carina groaned. I was also disenchanted because I knew very well that an apology was the only word that was supposed to be heard. My brain always takes a short break when I get cornered in an arduous situation. So I decided not to speak but to take action. I stepped close to him so I could take th

Oliver___By the time it hit midnight, everyone had to rest for the night. We couldn't risk getting exhausted for the wedding. But there was something I could risk, like finding the bride and just kissing her.I hated the silence in the mansion as though no one existed. Lights were dim, the night was quiet. I made my silent approach to the kitchen.Getting a warm glass of milk ready, I also made myself a glass of coffee and occupied a seat on the kitchen island. Minutes passed and I could not stop glancing at the entrance. She had to show up because I believed she couldn't sleep like I couldn't. I was excited and nervous, and I believed she missed me.A whisper got me shooting my head to where it emerged. It was from the garden where our wedding was to take place. I got up and made my way to the window, to take a peek, only to see Mary and Dad talking. They seemed to be in a little serious conversation which I bet involved what they had between them.“Are they arguing?”“No, it doe—f
Oliver_____The office door opened even before I answered. The grinning face of Leo showed first, followed by Liam whose face remained on his phone. I pushed the laptop off me and leaned against the back seat as I watched them take their seats.“I don't appreciate the way you treat us,” Leo complained. “What are we, robots?”I smirked. “I did something?” I asked as I rubbed my chin. They looked weary, something I did not mention.“Tomorrow is the wedding,” Liam asked. “And you told us this morning?”I nodded. “Thank God I did not forget to tell you.”Leo rolled his eyes. “You are an asshole.” He lamented. “What changed?”“What changed where?” I questioned as I rested my elbows on the table. “Nothing changed, you need to prepare to be there. I need the rings. That's the only remaining thing.”“Dude!” Jason did not look pleased. “What is this, a morning walk or something? Enlighten us, venue, dress code, guests, everything. We need to do all that.”I waved. “It's all done. Nothing to d
Liana Moore____My eyes remained on the mirror with Oliver standing behind me. He was busy drying my hair after we had a long warm shower where we did a lot of naughty things. I could feel his fullness in me, stretching my hole and filling me while I stood against the shower wall. His kisses all over my skin, the parts of me where his lips met were left burning with immense desires.He knew how to handle me, he loved handling my body, worshiping every inch of my skin. And I loved it all, my body allowed him in.“What?” I asked when I noticed he was gazing at me a lot.A warm smile settled on his lips. “Nothing. I just love how you trust me with your hair.”My brows pulled together. “Now I am scared.” He laughed, God, even his laughter was so cute. “Oliver!” I wore a serious look though I felt like joining him in laughing. “I remembered doing this to Clara, and I ended up burning her.” I suddenly jerked and stepped away. Leaving him as he laughed. I could never trust him again now.
Liana Moore____3 weeks laterI won the case. I watched Mum get dragged by the police for the murder of her husband. I couldn't imagine how one could be so evil to poison their husband so they could own a family business. But her husband wasn't to worry, like to realize they schemed my parent's death. “You wicked daughter, I treated you like my own!” She screamed at me while disappearing. The tears I had been holding threatened to spill but I held them when I saw Timothy walking to me. Fury filled me again. I turned to Oliver who had his hand around my waist. “Let's get out of here,” I whispered but Timothy arrived. My eyes caught Kira leaving. The court had ordered her to leave the mansion and I saw how devastated she was. Lost, angry, confused, alone. She disappeared from the door and I sighed, focusing on Timothy. “Liana—”“Miss Moore,” Oliver said before I did. “She is Miss Moore for you and if you want to talk to her, you know her lawyer.” He declared and turned to me. “Let'
