Liana My eyebrows furrowed in confusion, trying to make sense of what just happened now. Who did this woman just call a murderer? It couldn't certainly be my father and there must have been a mix-up somewhere because it wasn't just possible that he was the one that she was accusing."Murderer," I reiterated, glancing back and forth at my dad and Conan's mother who stared at him as her chest rose and fell steadily.She raised her hands, pointing to him. "You, how dare you have the audacity to show your face here after everything that you have done and after all the bad things that you made me go through. Oh, you are about to strike again!" She screamed at the top of her lungs while Conan's father placed his hands on her shoulder before she found loose balance. "It is the temerity for me! You have no shame and you are completely shameless" She snarled while I stared at Conan's mother in disbelief.She has lost it already and I was damn sure of that because if things were okay with her
LIana My heart kept hammering against my chest and all the voices in my head intensified after hearing what my father had just said. He mentioned that Conan was supposed to be dead that night. What did he mean by that? Should I count his words as gibberish because my father could be strict and be a disciplinarian but he would never commit murder!Plus what the hell did Conan just say? Did he just mention that he got married to me despite knowing that I was the daughter of his father’s murderer? I was confused and I was thrown into one of the greatest dilemmas that I have ever been in.My father shook his head vehemently and the word that he uttered out next broke my heart and shattered me into pieces. “You died that night and your father is dead as well! How come you are still alive?” He stuttered.Conan had that sinister smile plastered on his face as he shrugged. “Let us just say that is how the moon goddess wants it” At that moment, I saw another side of Conan that I have never s
Conan's POVI watched as Liana's eyes widened in fear as she stared at me in complete shock. Somehow, my heart kind of broke for her but her being someone that I held dearly doesn't mean that I would not punish those who have thrown my life into total disarray even though they were her closest family!Tears welled up in her eyes but before the tears could spurt out from her eyes, her father snarled at her. "What contract!" He raised a brow, placing his hands on her shoulder as he shook her rigorously.Her voice broke and I was awash with nothing but pity for her but in the end, I was proud of myself for everything that I was able to accomplish by throwing the baby shower. All my life, I have been planning for this day! Planning for the day that I would reveal the truth to the world and reveal myself to those who had hurt me so badly in the past. Me revealing all of this wasn't only to disgrace them but it was about me publicly waging war on them.Mr. Hunter, Mr. Ethan, and their fami
LianaEverything that was happening in my life looked like a dream and it was like something that I would never be able to comprehend. Was it that Conan had always had this side of him and I was the one who was too blind to see it? Was this how he has always been?I have always held myself in high regard for being smart but with the way things were going, it looked more like I was the dumb one here.I heaved an exasperated sigh, placing my hands on the door knob while hesitant to open the door at first but I mustered the courage to do that as I twisted the door knob and the door flung open instantly.I swallowed the heavy lump that formed in my throat as my eyes landed on his cold gaze that made his eyes crinkle by the corners. I expelled another sigh while he motioned for me to sit before him. I lowered my head as tears pressed at the back of my eyelids while muttering. “Father” He sucked between his teeth. “Honestly, Liliana? You could do better because I expected so much from you
Liana POVI stared around the empty room in shock not wanting to believe what was happening, how exactly had this happened? I took a step in, running my gaze around, who must have done this?With a hand on my face, I was hoping it was a nightmare that would get away immediately. I cleaned my eyes but it was stuck in there." Father" I called out to him, placing a hand on his shoulders, but he shrugged it off, bending below to pick up the letter which was neatly arranged and placed on the floor.How many enemies does he have that he had to go through? I wondered, the look on my father's face as he glanced through the letter broke my heart, I could see that he was having a hard time getting to terms with what had happened and soon, I knew it would." This is payback for stealing all of our gold bars, I hope that this meets you well. '' He read out loud, flipping the letter. My heart hitched when I saw the sign which was behind the letter.It had a small Viper sticker on the back of it.
Liana's POVI clenched my phone tightly, it has been days, days, and ever since Conan had accused my father of murdering him and I haven't heard from him.His silence was threatening and I wanted to know what he was up to, I just couldn't think straight because for him to go silent like this meant that something fishy was going on or maybe I was really overreacting.Sighing heavily, I stood up walking toward the window, closing the window pane, my father had left with the men ignoring all of my warnings and now, I was left all alone in here.I flipped the phone in my hands, my thoughts running wild, should I call? Would he pick up even if I did? I do not know what he was going to believe but after listening to what my father had to say, I knew that there was more to what he was told. He needed to know that also, but his silence." Arrrgh" I screamed angrily, I was tempted to scream at everyone who had done this. Conan would have to listen and make research also but at this moment was
Conan’s POVSitting before Arthur who paced back and forth, I couldn't help but lean in the chair as a smile spread across my lips. He exclaimed as he turned to look at me. “Alpha Conan, don't you think that this is too risky? We should get Kayla out? You and I both know that the evidence pointing to Kayla isn't only absurd but outrageous!” Arthur said with worry boldly written on his face. My face contorted into a slight frown as I swirled in my chair. “Haven't you taken risks? Haven't you entered the most impenetrable places? Plus you and me know that Kayla is the one taking all of the blames. What I want to do is to add more fuel to the fire. I have a feeling that Matilda wants to harm Kayla to cover for herself. You and I both know what she is capable of doing” I said while he exhaled sharply as his shoulder fell then he ran his fingers through his hair.“Honestly, Alpha Conan, I don't know what to say so what you are saying in essence is that I should make sure that Kayla gets
Liana's POVAs I walked through the police station, my mind filled with worry and confusion, one part of me strayed towards Kayla and the evidence that she told me that she had. Whatever evidence that she had had better be worth me coming here to the police station.On the other hand, the terrible accusations Conan had made against my father echoed in my thoughts, clouding my judgment and stirring up a whirlwind of emotions, and to worsen it I was scared of the fact that he hasn’t called me since the day that it all happened.His silence was scary and my only hope was for things to be fine. Since my father had told me about what had ensued, I guessed it was time for me to tell Conan the whole truth so that the enmity between them would end.All of a sudden, I paused on my track, my eyes almost popping out of its sockets. I couldn’t believe my eyes and I couldn't believe that Conan was standing before me.The fact that we had met again in this unexpected place, under such circumstances
