LIana’s POV

Fear, shock, or surprise? I didn’t know if that would be the perfect description of the expression that Kayla had on her face. My eyes traveled from her fingers that trembled to the flash drive that fell to the ground. It was mine and that was all I knew.

She made matters worse when she stepped on it, in a bid to stop me from seeing it.

Kayla blinked her eyes a couple of times as I stared at her with my mouth slacked open. A wavering smile creased on her face as she dropped the phone, fiddling with her fingers.

“Did Conan send this for me? That must have been nice of him. He is the best, thanks to you” Her eyes widened in fear and I was totally at a loss for words to say.

Darting my eyes off her, I placed the tray on the table before focusing my gaze right on her. At that moment, a lot of answers that needed answers flooded my head but the one question that lingered for long, the one question that I couldn’t wrap my head around no matter how much I tried to.

    Liana’s P.O.V I stared so intently at her that when she locked eyes with me, she had no option but to duck her head, and worst of it all was that she was fiddling with the hem of her shirt. I tried to recollect if there was any possibility that I had seen her before. However, the more I stared, the more her name didn’t ring a bell in my head.“What did you say your name was?” I asked her while she raised her head, exchanging fleeting glances with Kayla. “Aria,” She answered.I glanced back and forth between Aria and Kayla while Kayla rolled her eyes as she plopped down on the couch, staring at her fingers. Darting my eyes back to Aria, I squinted my eyes at her suspiciously.“When did you start working here? I have never seen you here before. Have you been working here for a long time and did you just get here recently?” I asked her as she pursed her lips slightly.“I-I…..” She stuttered and before she could even talk properly, Kayla interjected. “Oh spare me the bullshit!

    ConanI heard the arguments that emanated up the stairs and all the while I didn't say a word nor did I interfere in any of it. The stomping of feet on the hard marbled floor caused me to sit upright and in split seconds, Liana came rushing down the stairs. There was this expression that depicted betrayal which formed on her face as she ran her hands through her tousled hair. When she caught sight of me, she opened her mouth to say something but quickly clamped her mouth shut before exclaiming. “You were right!”Shooting her a smile as he approached me. “Right about what?”“I mean you were right about everything! I can't believe that I was trying to believe that Kayla changed for good. You should have heard the horrible things that she said towards me, gosh” She cradled her head in her hands.“Well, I told you not to trust her”“I mean, you are always right though. I should have believed you instantly, this is still so hard for me and the fact that she didn’t even feel remorseful” L

    LianaMy eyes twitched because even though Bruce Lawrence’s words sounded so real, never in my life would I have believed that my father would do something like that. I believe that he could have retaliated in one of the most extreme ways but stealing was out of it. My father had more than enough for him to ever think of stealing.“My father would never do something like that!” I yelled at him, snatching the phone from Conan.“So who did it? Us? Do you think that we are like your pack who launches an attack on themselves and still blames others for it? The reason why I am being lenient with you is that you have to help me with Co……” I quickly removed it from the loudspeaker, walking towards the corridor in haste.The only thing I wanted to do was to bury my fist in his face! How could he even dare to mention Conan’s name and why was he trying to make it seem like he was doing me a favor?“Bruce, I have never told you this before but your running mouth would kill you before anything e

    Conan’s P.O.VBrushing my fingers underneath my jaw, I sauntered toward Liana who stared at the maid as if she was trying to peer deep into her soul. Glancing back and forth between the two of them, I couldn't help but notice the tension between them. However, the tension stemmed from Liana who still had the phone held to her ear as she stared intently at her in shock.“W-What are you doing here and why are you stretching that damn bottle of water to me?” Liana’s voice quavered as the maid raised her head, pursing her lips slightly.“I-I” She stuttered, gulping while my eyes traveled to the movement that her throat made. The only question that came to my head was what was the reason for the nervousness between the two of them?“I was the one who told her to give you the bottle of water. You seemed so restless earlier and when she passed by, I told her to give it to you” I said while she turned to look at me with her mouth slightly agape. She chuckled nervously while hitting her head

    ConanA scoff escaped my lips while I tilted my head to a side, fixing my gaze on her. Matilda had a confused look on her face as she stood to her feet and waltzed in my direction while lifting a brow. She leaned forward, placing both hands on the table for support while bending slightly.Her mouth turned at one corner into a crooked grin that looked more like she was amused. “I don't mean to be disrespectful. But why did you scoff? Do you think that I am cooking up lies about my sister?”I crossed my hands over my chest. “The last time I checked, I didn't say a word but you were the one who concluded that I didn't believe your words” I answered while she lowered her head, biting the corner of her lower lips tentatively. “Look, Conan. I mean well for you and that is why I am trying to help you see the real side of Liana. Think about this, why would I reveal my sister’s affair to you? I am telling you all of this because I want you to know that I am on your side and would be on your s

    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.

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

    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

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

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.
