Liana Moore.____I shut the whole world off to focus on myself. To love myself.I resumed my online classes because I had a few months to graduate. I also got a part-time job, so having half a day free, I was able to focus on my studies.Maybe that way, people would stop seeing me as an uneducated girl who they could walk on. Someone they could use however they wished.It had been a month since I disappeared from Oliver's life. I struggled to set everything behind me. Though there was a part of me that couldn't let go, it forced me to ignore it.I wasn't mad he hurt me, I wasn't angry that he found someone he could walk over, I was furious at myself for letting him in. I once swore to never let men hurt me ever again, but being a fool, I did. I was blinded by my feelings for him.I admit I liked him, and the truth was, he had started falling in love with him. I was missing him terribly but sadly, he was fake, everything he did to me was fake. Every word he whispered to me was an abso
Oliver Castillo____I managed to penetrate into a hole that Liana had been hiding for a freaking month.Things had to get dirty since Knox played it hard. He refused me a chance to see her in three visits to the resort. He forced me to do things in a wild way, and I did. It was Oliver he was not allowing in, but not Mister CO. After digging for information about his father's business, I learned that the resort was not fully finished due to a lack of funds. Though it was a secret he kept from every social media. There were a few buildings and unfinished sites that he was still finishing as the resort operated. That's where Mister CO came in with a business proposal. My men approached Knox's father with a report that Mister CO was interested in his Resort line of business, and he was interested in partnership or buying shares in the business. I also pinched the idea of taking the business worldwide.All shares were sold, that's the report I got, and having a big name as Mister CO, Wi
Liana Moore____"It will be good for you," Knox urged. "If you don't speak to him, you'll never get over it. So, go and talk about what you feel.""I hate him." I nibbled my lower lip in pure resentment. "I don't want to see him.""Liana," He moved closer and looked into my eyes. "Will you be able to sleep knowing he called you for you to talk and did not go?""I just…" I poked my head. "I don't know. I don't really know."I was scared, honestly. I was terrified that he would admit that everything was true. I was scared that the truth would hurt me even more. The worst was to hear him agree that he fucked me for a bet, that was tormenting me.After a long process of debating, I chose to go and end things. Knox was right, it was good for me.I wanted to move on like I did with Timothy. Though there were things that were left unsaid between Timothy and me, I felt he did not deserve my energy, but Oliver did.He penetrated into my heart, manipulated me, and made me a fool. Maybe a thank
Liana Moore_____He was making it harder for us. With him holding me under his built physique. His hands wrapped on my back with no sign that he was to let go. I couldn't leave him.I wanted to get out of his life. I was good at walking away, and the history with my family was evident. But he was different. Though it broke me, a part of me wanted him so badly. I was fighting between letting him go and holding on a little. To give us another chance, but I was scared.Tears cascaded down my cheeks. I was to ruin his suit if he was not to let me go, but he wasn't.I missed him so badly, but it scared me to go back to where we came from. "Let me go, please." I sobbed. "Oliver,""No." He murmured in my ear. His voice was broken. "Don't tell me to let you go. I won't.""We can't do this–""I can." The movement of his lips against my skin brought tickles all over my body. "I can do it. I will do it. Let me love you. I won't ask for your love. Liana, just let me love you. I can do that."
Liana Moore____It wasn't a good night after I missed Oliver by the beach. I know I could have called him for us to meet but I chose to let it be. I went back to the room hoping to sleep but I did not. Or maybe I did, but too late.I woke up feeling scrambled. The little sanity in me wanted a good cup of coffee, or something with chocolate, or better still, Oliver.I took my morning routine, getting ready for my shift. I woke up earlier than before but I was pretty sure that I looked like an abandoned dog in the street. Probably dead. I needed a good sleep.I dragged my feet to the office building. I made sure I used the route that I would be lucky enough to fall into Oliver, that was in case he was still around. But lack was not on my side, cause what I received were stares I got from everyone I met on my way.I had to double-check my outfit. A good pair of official trousers and a nice woolen sweater couldn't have been a problem, right? Or maybe the trouser shrank my ass. I could on
Liana Moore_____Oliver and I arrived in Las Vegas. It was our second time to be in the city together. This time, he took me to the mansion he owned as Mister CO. His home.I admit he had a taste like his father. Everything about the mansion was as calming as Castillo mansion. What was different was that his mansion was in an estate facing the beach."You have a beautiful place," I said as we both ambled to the entrance. He was holding my hand, allowing me to feel his warmth."Thank you.""You used to stay here before coming to California?""Yes, though no one knew except for my friends."I nodded. We hadn't opened the entrance door when it flew open. Julia jumped in front of us while squealing. "Finally!"She jumped on me. "Oh." She clutched me into a bone-wrecking hug."Girl, you need a good beating.""I do." I hugged her back. It was nice to see her again after a month. "You smell like garlic.""Oh, we are cooking." She pulled out and gave Oliver a brief hug. "Come, join us." She
Liana Moore____I admit I was dying to know what Timothy wanted. After everything they put me through, he had the balls to call my phone using his office number. At some point, I thought something happened to Kira. She was pregnant and I still cared a little about her despite everything. It was my moment with Oliver, a lot was happening around so calling Timothy meant he was to add fuel to an already burning fire. So I did not call him back.After our dinner, we all got to our rooms to rest. Good thing I got to share a room with Oliver. I did not see anything wrong about it, but I still had this little voice in me reminding me that I needed space. But not, I did not need it, I needed Oliver.So, I ignored my inner voice, sometimes the voice had wrong decisions, so I loved myself more and switched it off.I had taken a shower and wore Oliver’s Tee which he gave me since I had no clothes with me. Once I was ready for bed, I stepped out of the washroom where I came face to face with hi
Oliver Castillo____I sat on a sofa that was set across the bed where Liana was sleeping. Her body spread perfectly in a comfortable position. Little snores left her slightly open mouth, I would watch her all day, and I would listen to her snores like a love song playing repeatedly in the stereo. Among the few things I achieved in my life, having her was the only thing that I was proud of. Liana Moore, I could not even tell how I felt inside, it overwhelmed me to know she was the perfect flower that bloomed before my eyes. My perfect flower.I vowed to bring a smile to her, to erase every pain I ever caused and anyone in her life ever induced her. To make her forget the gloomy days she ever experienced, to love her with everything inside me.I had no damn clue how I was to love her in ways she would feel every damn minute, but I was ready to offer what I could, all that I could.Birds had started twittering outside. I had been seated for over thirty minutes, I wanted to watch her,
