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

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
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
