Few days later, Liana was busy attending to the customer when Tony showed up. As soon as she saw him she bowed her head down to avoid him, he smirked and walked past her. Not long after she was done attending to the customer Lucas called her then informed her Tony wanted to see her, she frowned when she heard his name.
“Oh shit” She mumbled.
“What did you say?” Lucas asked and she shook.
She went to meet Tony. Getting to his office, he met him sitting on his chair comfortably, she scoffed and greeted, he responded. Tony looked at her smiling.
“Come here” He ordered but she refused.
He frowned and stood up, he pulled her closer to himself, they stared into each other’s eyes. After staring at themself for some minutes, Tony snapped his finder drifting her out of her review, she blinked her eyes twice then moved back. She bowed her head down and he lifted her chin up.
“Are you drooling on me?” He asked.
She scoffed and turned her head away from him. Tony smirked at her, “You must be drooling at me, are you falling for me already?”
She didn’t say anything but her answer in her mind: “Why would I fall for you brat? You are not even my spec, i just want a real love”
Tony could not read her thought and continued to stare at her, “ I guess she is already in love with me, she should better get rid of her feelings for me because she is not my spec”
“Are you in love with me?” He asked.
“No!” She turned to look at him in the face.
He didn’t want to marry but because his parents were forcing him to marry and he had no choice than to do what they asked for. He stood up and moved his mouth closer to her lips. He whispered into ear, she frowned and left his office angrily. As soon as she got downstairs, a lady and a man walked towards her.
“Hello, how may I help you?” She asked.
“Can we get a room?” The man said as he wrapped his arm on the lady’s neck.
“Sure” She replied with a nod.
She told them the room and they took one of the rooms. She watched as they went upstairs,she went to the kitchen. Getting inside she met Thomas serving dishes, she walked towards him.
“Who owns the food you’re serving?” She asked.
“Thomas, you have five minutes left to go and serve the food” A deep masculine voice accused from behind them. They turned to see Lucas standing next to them, Liana smirked seeing him. Lucas glared at them and left, as soon as he left Thomas took the food and left the kitchen. Liana rubbed her hands on her hair and she sighed out loud.
“Fuck!” She groaned in anger and frustration when her mind drifted to Tony.
Not long after, she heard some voices outside, when she got outside she met a man yelling, it was a man she served some horse ago, she glanced at him.
“I asked for chicken and waffles and you served me Macaroni salad. Is that what I asked for?” He yelled.
“I am sorry…”
“Don’t fucking apologise! I don’t need your apology, go get my orders” He insisted, glaring daggers at her.
She nodded and went inside the kitchen, she frowned as she prepared the dishes. She was preparing it when Tony entered the kitchen, she glanced at him when she saw him.
“What were you thinking? Wait…Are you thinking about me?” He asked but she ignored him.
He moved closer to her and turned her to himself, he was about to kiss her when she pushed him away, he smirked and left. Immediately Tony left, Lucas entered, he walked towards her with a frown.
“Do you want to ruin the hotel?” He frowned.
She didn’t hear what he said because she was lost in her thoughts.
“Are you deaf or something is wrong with you?” He scolded her, raising his voice at her.
“I am sorry” she finally said.
“Next time this happens, I will deduct money from your salary and that is a promise” He said and glared at her then he left.
As soon as he left, she bowed her head down and sighed. She was worried because she doesn’t want Lucas to deduct any money from her salary and the fear of losing her job too. She’d really stressed to get the job and there is no way she could get another paying job like this one. She served the food and carried the tray of food, she left the kitchen and went to the room the man was staying in. She knocked on the door as soon as she got in front of the door. She knocked twice but there was no response, she was about to knock again when the door opened, a woman was standing in front of her.
“Oh, i am sorry. I thought this…” she didn’t complete her statement when the woman collected the tray of food.
“It’s here” The woman said and she nodded.
She left.
Meanwhile on the other side, Tony was in a restaurant with Liam. They were busy chatting when a lady ran inside, she mistakenly hit her body on Tony and juice splashed on him. He stood up and fumed in anger.
“I’m…sorry” The lady muttered.
“Sorry? Why are you so stupid?” He said in anger.
“Anel, what happened?” A deep masculine voice said.
She turned back to see her boss, she immediately bowed her head down, the man turned to Tony, he was shocked to see his shirt was stained, he turned to Anel and glared at her.
“We are very sorry, sir” The man said.
“Just sorry, my shirt was stained and all you could say was just sorry” He yelled.
His tantrum attracted the attention of the other customers in the restaurant, disrupting the serenity of the place. The people began to murmur, Anel bowed her head down in embarrassment, she didn’t know what to say again so she just kept quiet.
“Tony, it’s okay” Liam said.
He glared at them and left the restaurant with Liam angrily.
Next Morning, Liana was in the kitchen preparing the dishes when Lucas came in, he informed that Tony wanna asked her to see him in his office. She groaned hearing his name, she left whatever she was doing to meet him. Getting inside his office, she met him busy with his phone, she bowed her head down standing in front of him. Tony glanced at her and rolled his eye ball.“Liana, i want us to be in a marriage contract” He said and she looked at him.“So now, he is proposing to act as his wife” She muttered as she continued to stare at him.“We would only be in the contract marriage for a few months so that i can settle everything with my parents” He said.“No, you must be joking…How can i be in a contract marriage with you” She said in disbelief and continued, “You are my boss”She looked at him for a longtime with hundreds of thoughts rushing through her mind. “How could I be in a contract marriage with this pervert? It was all so confusing. He is my boss and moreover he doesn’t love
The next morning, Liana yawned as she opened her eyes. She took her phone and gaped when she saw so many missed calls from Tony, immediately she called him back, and luckily he picked the call. He informed her to meet him at Starries hotel so he can do some shoppings for her. After she was done speaking with him, she hung up then went to the bathroom to take a bath. Some minutes later, she came out from the washroom and quickly got dressed. She was busy putting on her sneakers when her phone rang again. She decided not to pick the call since it was Rosee that called her. She took a glance at the mirror and scurried out of the room. As soon as she got outside, she flagged down a cab and got in. After a while she got to her destination and hopped out of the car, she ran into the hotel and was surprised to see Tony standing in front of her.“You are thirty minutes late” Tony muttered loudly for her hear She immediately apologised, he nodded and smiled. Liana was surprised when he smil
It’s weekend, Liana was in her room sleeping peacefully when her sister rushed in calling her name. She groaned as she forcefully opened her eyes. She yawned and got on bed then rushed her out of the room immediately she heard what she said. Getting outside she met Tony standing in front of his car, she composed herself and walked slowly towards him.“Good morning” She greeted and he responded.“Go and dress up… I want you to visit my parents today” He muttered as he stared at her.She nodded and went back inside to take her bath. After she was done bathing, she came out from the washroom and quickly got dressed. As soon as she was done, she scurried out of the room, Tony was stunned when she came out, she called him but he was lost staring at her so she moved closer to him.“Am I that pretty?” She whispered in his ear, smiling.He scoffed and looked away, he smirked as he opened the car door for her, she hopped into the car. The drive to the Mansion was so silent nobody spoke to them
Liana woke up early the next morning and looked at the clock. When she saw what time it was, she jumped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom to take a shower.After a few minutes, she emerged from the bathroom and quickly got dressed. Without stopping to look at herself in the mirror, she hurried out of the room and down the street. She spotted a cab and flagged it down, giving the driver her destination address.Some minutes later, she arrived at her destination and got out of the cab, sprinting into the hotel. She pushed open the door and hurried into the kitchen. Lucas was there already, and he nodded at her as she entered. He informed her that Tony had called for her. Liana felt her heart skip a beat, and her hands began to tremble. "What should I do?" she whispered, her voice shaking.Lucas smirked, then she left the kitchen and headed towards Tony's office. When she got there, she saw a woman sitting on Tony's lap, smirking as if she knew what was going on."Boss, you asked f
As night fell, Liana finished tidying up the kitchen and was about to leave when Tony walked in. She was taken aback to see him, knowing he would likely cause trouble again. She wished she could find a way to get out of the situation. She ignored him and turned to leave, but he grabbed her hand and pulled her back, turning her to face him."Are you ignoring me or trying to avoid me?" he smirked."Please let me go," she managed to say, but he only tightened his grip. "You're not going anywhere," he said, his voice hard. "You belong to me, and you're not leaving."Liana gasped in pain and tried to pull her hand away, but he held on even tighter. She felt a flash of anger and fear, and her heart began to race. "I never belonged to you," she said, her voice shaking. "And I won't stay here if I don't want to."Tony's eyes flashed with anger, and he slammed her against the wall, pinning her arms to her sides. "You have no choice," he said, his face inches from hers. "You're mine, and you're
Liana walked into the hotel, her steps echoing in the empty hallways as she headed towards the kitchen. Once there, she began preparing the dishes that were due to be served to guests. As the aroma of spices and sauces filled the air, Thomas entered the kitchen and greeted her with a warm smile."Hey there, Liana. Busy day, huh?" he asked, pulling on his apron as he prepared to assist her with the cooking."Yes, it's quite the day," Liana responded, not looking up from her work.Just as Thomas was about to speak, the kitchen door swung open, revealing Lucas. Both Liana and Thomas stopped what they were doing and turned to greet him."Good morning," Liana and Thomas greeted respectfully, her tone deferential.Lucas nodded in acknowledgment, but his expression was stern. "Time is money, and we don't have much of it. Liana, go and serve the customers in room 202, and you, Thomas, clear the table in room 291, the customers just left.” he commanded and they nodded.As soon as he left, Th
Liana looked down at the mess, her mind racing as the man continued to glare at her. She knew this wasn't good, and she braced herself for his reaction."Do you have any idea what a mess you've made? How am I supposed to enjoy my meal now?" the man seethed, his voice rising in volume."I'm so sorry, sir, I will get a replacement dish right away and u will make sure this area is clean as possible" Liana stammered, trying to contain her own emotions."Well, you'd better hurry up, young lady. You're costing me valuable time," the man snapped.Liana bit her lip, her cheeks burning with embarrassment. She scurried back to the kitchen, the tray still in her hands, the remnants of the macaroni and cheese now strewn across the dining room floor."Liana, what happened?" Lucas asked, with a frown.Liana tried to explain the situation to Lucas."I tripped over this kid who ran in front of me. I tried to catch the tray, but it was too late. What am I going to do? I messed up the customer's meal,
As Liana spun around to face her attacker, her heart skipped a beat as she recognized Tony's dark, brooding features. She quickly pulled away from him, apologizing profusely, but before she could escape, he grasped her hand. "You know if you leave now, you can't leave forever. Our marriage is in a month," he said, his voice low and ominous. Liana's jaw dropped. "Marriage? I thought you said we were..." she began, her voice trailing off in confusion. "My parents want us to get married” he said. Tony's revelation left Liana reeling. "But...my mother..." she began, her thoughts scattering in a million different directions. Tony shrugged, his expression cold and indifferent. "Your mother isn't my concern. My parents want this wedding, and you'll do as I say." Liana's anger surged, her voice rising with each word. "You can't just force me into this! I'm not some toy you can manipulate as you please. I'm a human being, with my own feelings and desires. Tony, his voice d
At the hospital, Sarah's face twisted with sorrow as she took her sister's hand. "Liana, what are you going to do? You can't raise a child in this situation. It's not safe for you."Liana swallowed hard, her eyes distant as she struggled to process the gravity of the situation. "I don't know... I don't know what to do," she murmured.The doctor cleared his throat. "You have options, Liana. You can consider adoption or termination. Either way, you'll need to make a decision quickly. Your health and safety are important.”Liana's head swam with uncertainty as she faced the unthinkable decision. She knew that raising a child with Tony was not an option, not when he had shown such violent tendencies. But could she really give up her own child? The thought of adoption or termination filled her with a deep, aching sadness.Sarah's grip on Liana's hand tightened, her eyes filled with sympathetic tears."Liana, I'm here for you no matter what you choose. But please think about this: do you
Liana awoke with a groan, her head throbbing painfully. She tried to sit up on the couch, where she'd been sleeping for days, but a wave of nausea hit her and she dashed to the washroom, vomiting into the sink. The dizziness that had plagued her for days was escalating, and she decided it was time to seek medical attention.Liana's thoughts were spinning as she tried to make sense of her situation, when suddenly she heard Tony's voice calling her. She quickly left the kitchen, hoping to avoid any potential conflict.Liana put on a brave face as she faced Tony. "Good morning," she said, forcing a smile.Tony's expression was unreadable. "Who is your 'babe'?" he asked, a dangerous edge to his voice. "Never mind that, Rose is hungry. Make her something to eat before we leave for work," he ordered, dismissing her question.Liana's patience was quickly wearing thin. "I'm not her slave. She can make her own food," she protested.Tony's face darkened as he strode towards Liana, his hand rai
Two days later, Liana was resting in the living room when the doorbell startled her awake. Thinking it was Tony, she rose quickly and went to answer. But when she opened the door, she found Sarah standing there, and her heart sank. She didn’t want Sarah to find out what was going on.“Sarah,” Liana stammered, trying to hide her fear. “What are you doing here?”“Sis, what do you mean?” Sarah asked as she stepped inside.“N-nothing” Liana stuttered.“We’ll, I’ve just missed you,” Sarah replied, her eyes shining with warmth. “It’s been ages since we last saw each other.”Liana forced a smile, but Sarah wasn’t fooled. Her gaze settled on the mark on Liana’s neck, and her expression darkened. “Liana,” she said, her voice cold. “What happened? Is Tony hurting you?”Liana shook her head, her eyes wide with panic.“Tony? Hurt me? No, Sarah,” Liana said, her words tumbling out in a rush. “He’s been so good to me. He loves me, I promise.”Sarah's eyes were locked onto Liana's, and she feigned
That evening, Liana was curled up on the sofa, attempting to lose herself in a movie, when Rose strolled into the living room wearing Tony’s shirt. Liana watched her sit down, her own emotions roiling just beneath the surface. A single tear dropped from her eye before she quickly wiped it away.As Liana went to the kitchen for a snack, Rose made herself comfortable on the couch, changing the channel without a care. When Liana returned and saw the show had changed, her frustration boiled over.“What the hell is your problem?” Liana demanded, her voice trembling with rage. “How dare you waltz into my home and change what I was watching like you own the place?”“And what’s your problem with me changing the channel?” Rose scoffed, her lips twisting into a smirk. “What’s the big deal? I’m just doing what I want in my new home, with my boyfriend .”Liana seethed at Rose’s words, her hands clenched into fists at her side. “You’ve taken my husband, my life, everything I held dear, and now y
The following morning, Tony groaned as he woke up, the memory of last night’s events rushing back. He smirked as he noticed Liana, sobbing on the floor. He started to climb the stairs, but her voice stopped him in his tracks.“What do you think happened to us last night?” Liana asked, her voice shaking with emotion.“Liana, I’m not in the mood to talk about it,” Tony snapped, turning away. But she grabbed his hand, stopping him.Liana’s eyes flashed with fury. “Tony, you need to talk about this. What we shared last night was real,” she spat, her voice rising.Tony scoffed. “What we had last night is nothing. We’re not a thing,” he sneered, his own anger flaring.Liana slapped him across the face. “How dare you dismiss me like that?” she shouted. “You violated me, and now you’re acting like it was nothing.”Tony's jaw dropped, and his eyes widened in shock. He hadn’t expected Liana to strike him.“You dare slap me? How dare you?” he growled. He raised his hand as if to slap her back,
Tony’s meeting with a client was interrupted when Rose suddenly burst in, scantily clad. Tony’s anger flared, and he motioned for one of his guards to escort Rose out, ensuring she left the meeting as swiftly as she had entered.After the meeting concluded, Tony made an attempt to find Rose, but she was nowhere to be seen. He tried calling her, but she didn’t answer.Frustrated and dejected, Tony returned to his office, sighing heavily. “Guess I’ll be going to the party alone,” he muttered to himself.He tried to distract himself by diving into work, but he couldn’t quite shake the events of the day. As the hours ticked by, his thoughts continued to dwell on Rose and Liana. It was 6 pm when his phone buzzed. Glancing at the text message from Liam, he quickly read its contents.Liam’s text read, “Bro, the party’s starting soon, where are you?” With a sigh, Tony pocketed his phone and left his office. As the car gilded silently to his mansion, Tony’s thoughts remained turbulent.Arrivi
In the stillness of the morning, Tony stealthily slunk out of the mansion and made his way towards the dark, forgotten corner where Rose awaited him. His hair disheveled, Tony approached the scowling figure of Rose seated on the floor."Rose, I'm sorry for yesterday. I fell asleep," he said, extending his hand to console her. But Rose bristled, snatching her hand away and glaring daggers at him."Don't touch me, Tony. You abandoned me for your wife yesterday," she spat, feigning tears. "Just leave me alone."Tony's hand hung limply in the air, his attempts to placate Rose as fruitless as an empty well. As Rose continued to glare at him, her contempt radiating like a heat wave, Tony's mind raced with confusion."Why is she behaving like this? Does she think I'm begging her out of love? I'm just here for my own agenda," he thought, the harsh truth gnawing at him."I hope your mother's not awake yet. I'm leaving," Rose hissed, but Tony stood like a boulder in her path.As Rose raised her
At night, Tony arrived at the mansion, his mother in tow. Surprised to see Rose, he couldn't help but smile, though his expression quickly shifted as his mother's gaze caught his. As Tony seated himself, Lian spoke:"Mother, you didn't Inform me you were coming here.""Oh, I apologize for not informing you, Liana," Ms. Black replied."Please, take a seat, Mother” Liana gestured her to sit.Rose was seated on the sofa, Tony caught her playful wink but swiftly averted his gaze to avoid suspicion.The silence in the room was broken by the sound of Ms. Black's voice as she turned to face Rose. Her words were laced with sarcasm, "Hey dear, it's getting late. I think you should leave."Liana, sensing the tension, interjected, "Mother, it's late. Maybe she should stay the night or Tony should take her home"Ms. Black's scoff was the only reply she received. "Nonsense! Why would your husband drive your best friend home? If you want Tony to drive her home, you should accompany them."Feeling
Tony was deeply immersed in his work when he heard a knock on the door. "Come in," he said, and a woman entered carrying documents. Tony couldn't help but stare as she approached him, his gaze lingering on her."Boss, I need you to sign these," she said, holding out the papers.Tony ignored the documents, still transfixed on the woman. "Hold on a second," he said, locking eyes with her. "What's your name?""I'm Annabel," she answered, sensing his unwanted attention."Annabel," Tony replied, his voice smooth and seductive. "A pleasure to make your acquaintance."He stood up from his desk, approaching her with a confident swagger. Annabel shifted uncomfortably, unsure of his intentions. Before Tony could say more, the door burst open once again, this time revealing his mother.Tony's demeanor changed instantly, his charm dissipating as he rushed to embrace his mother. "Mom, you didn't tell me you were coming. What a surprise," he said, his voice warm and affectionate.Mrs. Black smile
