Oliver Castillo_____“I can go talk to her if you wish?” My father suggested and I sighed then got up.“No, I'll go.” I waved the rest. “You can go home. I am sure she doesn't want to talk now.” I dismissed them. You'd think someone died with the way everyone showed up for Liana. They cared for her, knowing what happened earlier, they were concerned for her.It's been half an hour since we arrived. Liana never stepped out of the room she went to and the worst was that she locked herself from inside. I wanted to give her space but every second got me worried. So I went back to the door and knocked. “Liana,”Silence.“You are scaring me,” I said while knocking again. “Can you open the door?” Things took a dark turn finding me unprepared. I wished I told her earlier that my lawyer had been investigating her family. My lawyer warned me about the family, and the dark business that Liana’s mother was capable of doing. She was after money, and the worst was that she was ready to go to any
-Mature scene ahead-Liana Moore___ “Thank you.” I appreciated Oliver after he had pulled a seat for me. After a gloomy day, we both resolved to celebrate my graduation. So he took me on a dinner date in a nearby restaurant. The restaurant had this uniqueness in it. The calm feeling of its gentle music did much to make me feel relaxed.Oliver booked a VIP room where it was just us. The decoration in the room had this romantic ambiance, it felt like he had planned to bring me to the restaurant after he proposed. He occupied a seat across from me, facing directly towards me. “The food here is amazing. I bet you'll love it.”“I agree, I once ate here with your father. He had a meeting here and he always went anywhere with me.” I smiled. “Though I have never been in a VIP room. It's awesome.”“I had a feeling you have been here.” He chuckled. “Actually, I know you've been to most restaurants here in town. I saw many pictures of you accompanying my father.”I agreed with him. “Yes. I th
Liana Moore____Mum was forcing me to take the case to another level. In fact, she wasn't even my mother, yet I gave her a week to be good and look for me. But instead, she began sending death threats my way. I wondered how many men she hired to watch me, others were after Oliver, and it was now time to take the matter into hand.I never saw my parents. Though I looked into the internet to see if I was to find any Alexander Moore, there was nothing. Maybe Mum and Dad did everything they could to erase him. If he owned the Moore law firm, then I am sure his business was supposed to be registered under his name.I got chills thinking about the whole situation. At some point, I avoided it for my sake. I did not want to be stressed in any way.Erasing some research on Google, I googled again about Moore Law Firm. It was founded a year before I was born. For ten years, it ran as a small firm in the state until it grew its wings. The growth wasn't as good until the partnership with Timothy
Liana Moore____Michael, Oliver's lawyer and I stopped outside my parent's mansion. I couldn't believe I showed up in New York, a place I promised myself to never step foot. Standing outside the gate, old memories sabotaged me. The rainy day when they kicked me out like I was a nobody. Everything that happened to me while I was in the house years back still rang in me.I unbuckled, “I will call you if I need you.”“I don't think that's what Mister Castillo instructed.”A sigh left me, followed by a sudden tense that ran all over my body. I had no idea what awaited me inside. There were cameras at the gate and I was sure if Mum and Kira were inside, they knew I was there. “Okay, let's go then.” I gave in. After all, it was for my safety.I went to the bell and rang it without hesitation. The fact that I knew the truth gave me the courage to approach them. I rang the bell again, already impatient knowing we had a gate man who attended to the gate. Maybe he was cleaning the compound.W
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'
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.
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
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
