LianaDifferent thoughts coursed through my mind, concerning what Conan must have thought about everything that happened between me and Bruce Lawrence earlier. I was sure that he must have heard the way I screamed at him and what if he thinks that I have something going on with Bruce Lawrence? Even if I had something going on with Bruce Lawrence, I knew that Conan didn't care but I still couldn't understand why I felt so guilty about it all. Maybe it was the fact that I was hiding a lot of things from him. The last thing that I had ever wanted was for him to think that I was a bad person.“It is all a contract, why are you so bothered about what Conan thinks about your relationship with Bruce Lawrence? It is not as if you two are dating or neither are you married for real. The marriage is only for the show and you are the least of Conan’s worries” The voice in my head admonished me while I shuddered. Despite it all, I was still filled with guilt and all of that. A part of me felt l
ConanFlipping through the pages of the file, I couldn’t help but hiss between my teeth while adjusting my glasses. For the umpteenth time, I have been correcting the same damn thing all over again and at this point, I was more than even frustrated already. A knock landed on the door that led to my office and I didn’t even need to see the face of whoever was at the door before knowing who the person was. It was my secretary. She pursed her lips slightly, taking tiny steps towards me tentatively. The thing was that I didn’t even have the strength to even scream at her so before she could even reach my desk, I flung the file in her direction.“You don't need to come any closer, just pick that file, return to your desk and pack your things because you are fired!” I said in a calm tone, leaning in the swivel chair while I watched as her bottom lips shook with every syllable that attempted to fall out her mouth.“S-Sir, please give me another second chance” She stuttered, clasping her h
Conan’s P.O.VFor a second, it felt as if I heard wrong as I tried to wrap my head around Amanda’s words. I stared down at her while she stared back at me in return with pleading eyes but still, I was confused because what in the world did I just hear her say?“The heir?” I repeated while she nodded in affirmation while running her palm together. Before I knew it, tears welled in her eyes as she sniffled in her tears. “I am sorry for saying it like that but I felt that if I didn't say it now, then I would never get the chance to ask you anymore” “The moon goddess must be so in love with me and that is why she allowed Jojo to receive a phone call. Please I want you to promise me that you would never tell your uncle about this request that I ask of you” She muttered under her breath. My eyebrows puckered because no matter the words she uttered, I was still confused and I was totally at a loss for words to say. The request was something that took me aback totally and never in my wilde
Conan's P.O.VMy eyes widened as a scoff escaped my lips. Her words resounded in my ear and everything just sounded like a lie.I banged my fist on the table in anger. "What do you mean by my brother is the father of Kayla's child? What manner of insolence is this?" I yelled at her while she shuddered a breath before shaking her head slowly."Conan, you know that I would never accuse someone of something like that if I am not sure of what I am saying! You know that is unlike me and I swear that I am telling the truth. I swear on my child that your brother is the father of Kayla's child" Amanda said and the look she had on her face depicted that she was sure of what she was saying.Still, I didn't want to believe her words. It sounded absurd and weird, knowing the relationship between Connor and Kayla. Connor was always at the receiving end of Kayla's insult and he would always make mention how he detested Kayla as if his life depended on it.Even if he didn't detest Kayla, he would ne
Liana's POVI wasn't only bored but I was so tired from doing nothing as I stared at the laptop while drumming my fingers on it. Just when I was about to lay my head, Kayla came in munching on chips while chewing them in a way that kind of triggered all of my senses.As much as I wanted to yell at her for her to stop making that horrible sound, I let it slide because engaging in banter with her meant that I was looking for trouble and the last thing I wanted was for anyone to even stress me.I plugged in my AirPods even though I wasn't playing any sort of music but I knew that she was trying to annoy me intentionally and the only way to send her away was by pretending to listen to music."Can't believe that she dares to ignore me" I heard her mumble to herself as she trailed in another direction while I followed her with my eyes."That sly witch," I thought inwardly.Kayla sauntered out of the kitchen, still munching on her chips with that same annoying sound that emanated from her. W
Liana's P.O.V"The father of Kayla's child is right here?" I mumbled to myself, swiveling my gaze around the whole room to check if we had a stranger here because the last time that I had checked, Conan was the father of her child so what the hell was he on about?I could see the confusion on Kayla's face as she approached Conan while squeezing the bag of chips in her hands. "Are you sure that you aren't drunk? You are the father of the child and you are standing right in front of me"Conan scoffed, bobbing his head slowly. "Really? I have never engaged in any type of sexual thing with you so how am I the father of your child? "Kayla rolled her eyes as she folded her arms. "Well, you and I got intimate that night at the party, have you forgotten or do you want me to give you the details?" She said unfazed by the fact that trouble was brewing at a corner."I don't need to hear the details of that cooked-up lie. However, Kayla, do you care to tell the whole world about the relationship
Liana’s POVI blinked my eyes a couple of times because it felt like something electrifying was rushing through my cheeks. I held my cheeks tightly, still trying to wrap my head around what in the world just happened right now. The gasp in the room echoed through the air and slowly, it began to dawn on me that I had been hit fiercely on the cheek, Kayla had slapped me!My eyes widened, turning to look at the woman who had just hit me. “Did you just slap me?” My voice quavered as I stared at her in nothing but utter disbelief. Conan roared. “Kayla, what the hell did you just do” I heard his footsteps approaching me and Conan had hardly gotten to where I was when Kayla gripped me by the neck with her eyes blazing with fire and an evil smirk that crept at the corner of my lips.“I have been nothing but nice towards you but all you have ever done was repay my niceness with evil because I didn't want any harm to come to you, I told you to divorce Conan but because you didn't want to divo
Conan’s POVI stopped on my track, staring intently at Kayla who held the knife to her stomach with beads of sweat formed on her forehead. Her fingers trembled as she clutched on tightly to the knife and a scoff escaped my lips as I slipped my hands down my pocket. “Then what are you waiting for? Stab yourself or do you want me to make it easier by stabbing you myself” I said coldly and I heard someone that I presumed to be Liana gasp. Tears welled up in Kayla’s eyes. “You are a psychopath and even though you try so much to hide it, it doesn’t change the fact that you are a blood-thirsty murderer who doesn’t care about anyone other than yourself” She muttered under her breath and in a way that no third party would hear our conversation. I chuckled dryly. “I am waiting, you have two minutes to stab yourself. If you don’t stab yourself in the space of two minutes then I would do it myself. You damn well know that I don’t care for you or anything concerning you” Connor ran towards Ka
After four yearsA smile formed on my face while brushing my hands through the mating sign around my neck and as soon as the memories flashed through my head, I beamed further with a smile. Conan suddenly appeared behind me, planting soft kisses around my neck causing me to chuckle as I turned to look at him while wrapping my hands around his neck. He placed his lips on mine while I chuckled. This man was everything that I had ever wanted and although our journey was rough and bumpy with a lot of obstacles that always seemed to come up in our way all the time, it never broke us! Instead, it strengthened the love and trust that we had for each other. If I would be honest, I was glad of all the obstacles because they only made us stronger. After he spent time brushing his lips through mine, he wrapped his hands around my waist, smiling at me with a glint of passion in his eyes. He slurred. "Isn't it weird that we are getting married again? I mean, Daisy finds it weird. She kept com
LianaI couldn't believe my eyes and I couldn't believe that Bruce Lawrence would do something like that however something happened that caused my mouth to slacken in shock when the image of the girl named Kayla popped up on the screen.Like a flood, all the memories that I have been trying so hard to recall flooded my head. I gritted my teeth in anger while seething with rage when images of what Bruce Lawrence made me go through passed through my head and the fact that he acted like my husband and fed me those stupid medications while feeding me with lies like I had a brain tumor caused me to laugh the more. Clenching my fist in anger, I went to my parent's house and everything that they did to me earlier flashed through my head and most importantly, I was glad for the fact that Conan finally found me! Yes! I might have escaped on my own but still, he found me because if I hadn't laid my eyes on him, I was sure that I would never have recollected half of my memories. "That son of
ConanI decided that it was finally time to deal with Mr. Ethan, Bruce Lawrence, Matilda, and Mr. Hunter for everything that they had done and I wouldn’t spare any of them. Ever since what had happened, Liana had been devastated by what had happened and she had remained a shadow of herself. She just couldn’t understand what she had done to her parents for them to treat her like that I felt really bad for her and I wanted her to regain her memories as fast as possible so that she would realize that her parents weren’t worth her tears because they would never see her the same way that she had seen them! However, the bright side of this was that Daisy was slowly warming up to me and she wouldn’t cry whenever I tried to touch or carry her. Most of the time, she would rush into my hands and play with me. I was so delighted with her that I ordered a hundred plushies to be sent to the house and a bouquet to be sent to Liana as well while sending beautiful dresses that I knew she would li
Conan povI knew that LIana's parents weren’t the best but ever in my wildest imagination would I ever believe that they would go as far as treating their daughter like a stranger like she didn’t exist. The fact that they had treated LIana in that horrible manner caused my fist to clench in anger and I swear on everything around me that I would never forgive them for what they did to LIana.Even if they didn’t want her anymore, they could have still pretended to be nice to her. In anger, I withdrew from LIana’s embrace and barged into the house despite Liana’s screaming for me to stop but I didn’t listen! The only thing I wanted was to give them a piece of mind! I could hear Liana’s footsteps behind me but I didn’t care! I would only be pacified when I finally give them a piece of my mind because dare they treat her in that horrible manner.“Do you honestly think that treating your first child as a stranger is the best thing to do? After everything that you know that she is going thr
ChapterLIanaI wouldn’t deny the fact that I was nervous and the fact that I was going to miss my parents and the annoying thing was that Conan’s words kept resounding in my head and despite everything that had happened, I would never settle for the fact that my parents were bad people.I wanted to talk to my mum and most especially, I missed my father, the one that I have ever loved the most and most importantly, I missed my mother! This excitement was building inside of me as I tried to recollect what they would like now! Would they even expect that I would be there? I couldn’t wait to see the excitement on their faces when they set their eyes on me.Deep inside of me, I kept reassuring myself about Conan’s words. “My parents were not bad people and all those rubbish talks from earlier about my parents being bad people would never be real and I would never believe something like that!” Slowly, Conan’s mother's words flashed through my head again and she accused my father of being
Conan’s Point of View The fact that he was still claiming the right over Daisy made my blood boil and the only thing that I wanted to do at that very moment was to hurl the phone against the wall. It was just about time that he paid for all of his sins and it was about time that he had a taste of his medicine.I was tired of condoning his nonsense for a long and I was tired of his constant audacity when he was nothing but a puppet that was being used by his father to carry out his father’s horrible wishes. It was so glaring that Daisy wasn’t even his daughter and the fact that he felt the need to address her as his daughter was something that I would never be able to forgive for the rest of my life. There was no way that I would allow Bruce Lawrence to be at rest after everything that he had done.Now that I thought about it, it was now time to drag Bruce Lawrence into the hell that I have been preparing for him and a lot of the people that hurt me. My first plan turned out to be a
Conan When she mentioned Kayla, it made me feel a little weird, and the fact that she mentioned Kayla’s name with her face scrunched up made me feel like there was a high chance that she was slowly regaining her memories. Then when a groan escaped her lips, I rushed towards her in haste because it turned out that my assumptions were starting to seem like it was true.I rushed towards her while quickly making eye contact for my mum to take her away from there because I felt that Daisy didn’t deserve to see something like that. I didn’t want Daisy to grow up seeing her mother in this horrible state. It was something that I didn't want Daisy to even remember when she got older and the fact that my mom understood what I meant warned my heart a bit.Daisy began wriggling in her arms as if she wanted to set herself free and as soon as my mother promised to give her candy, she suddenly went mute and the next thing that happened was her shouting about how much she wanted to stuff her mouth w
Next Chapter Liana’s Point Of View My eyes furrowed in confusion after seeing the sight before me and after this woman insulted me, she was here crying, and the way that she looked relieved after she had set her eyes on me kind of like made me raise a brow in confusion."What the hell is happening here? Why are you two here? Did something bad happen" I said even though my words were muffled against Conan's chest as he pulled me alongside Daisy who almost flinched in my hands and the fact that he had no idea about how much he was scaring Daisy with the creepy way that he was acting made me want to push him off me. But something stopped me! There was this sudden surge in my stomach and heat was rising in my stomach as soon as I felt his hands around me and the annoying thing was that it felt like I had experienced something like that before.Now that I thought about it, the woman who addressed herself as Conan's mother who did nothing but hurls insults at me even though I was just me
Conan POVHer mouth slackened while her eyes opened wide as she reached her hands for Daisy and slowly pulled her into a hug. I wouldn’t deny the fact that I was taken by her reaction became I never expected that she would react like that.After what seemed like minutes, She turned to look at me and the fact that she had tears welling up in her eyes caused me to raise my brow in confusion because one thing that I knew was that she would never do something like that but the way she was kind of emotional kind of melted my heart and somehow, it changed my view about her although it was not entirely it was just a little bit. She encircled her hands around Daisy while planting soft kisses on her head as she rubbed her slowly on her back. She muttered. “I am sorry for not recognizing you soon enough and I am sorry for not knowing that you are my granddaughter. I am sorry for saying all those terrible things to your mom and I am sorry for being absent in your life” My earlier thought was t
