Liana was surprised to see Rose posting her boyfriend but she couldn’t see the face because it was covered with an emoji, but looking at the body, she felt it looks like Tony, she shook the thought off, quickly shoved her phone in her pocket and made her way to Tony’s office. As she entered, her eyes fell on Liam, and a thought raced through her mind.“When did Liam arrive?” She exchanged greetings with Liam, her heart racing.“Liana, how are you?” Liam inquired with a smile, glancing at Tony, who was seated behind his desk.Tony, his eyes focused on his desk, couldn’t help but smirk and roll his eyes at Liam’s remark. Liana, sensing the tension, turned to leave the room, but before she could, Tony grabbed her hand and pulled her back, seating her gently on his lap.“Hey, you don’t seem okay. What’s wrong?” Tony said softly, his hands fidgeting with Liana’s fingers. Liana, her heart pounding, stared at Tony, weighing whether to ask him about the photo. “No, no,” Liana thought to her
As Liana stepped into the apartment, she found her mother relaxing on the couch, munching on some snacks. “Good evening, mom,” Liana greeted, settling down beside her.Mrs. Victoria, turning her attention to her daughter, frowned slightly. “Liana, you’re home early,” she commented. “I thought you’d be staying over at the Black residence today. What’s wrong?”Liana sighed, a flicker of frustration in her eyes.“I just missed you,” Liana said, trying to hide the disappointment in her voice. “And I guess I’m a bit annoyed at Tony. He’s always busy with work and never seems to have time for me.”Mrs. Victoria’s words were filled with warmth and understanding. “Liana, I can see how much you love Tony, and I know he loves you too. He works hard because he wants to provide for you and give you the life you deserve. Don’t let your frustration get the better of you.”Liana listened to her mother’s words, her expression softening slightly. But before she could respond, her phone rang, the disp
✨CEO’s Contract Marriage💫❤️(Contracted With My Boss…)⬅️By: Ghaniyah.M.Chapter 43:The following morning, Liana finished preparing and left the apartment, standing by the roadside as she waited for a cab. But fate had different plans, for as she stood there, a sleek black vehicle pulled up in front of her. Liana stepped back, only to be greeted by the sight of Tony behind the wheel.“Hey, babe!” Tony’s smiled as he greeted her.“Tony?” Liana’s confusion turned to curiosity as she approached the car.“I came to your apartment to pick you up, but you were already gone,” Tony explained, his eyes never leaving hers. “Your mother told me where I might find you.”Liana nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips. “Oh, okay.”Tony’s smile, his voice soft and playful as he said, “Well, babe, we’re off to get your wedding gown. You must be excited!”Liana’s eyes lit up as she heard those words, her excitement for the upcoming nuptials palpable. “Oh my gosh, yes!” she exclaimed, her smile gro
At night, in the Black’s Mansion, Liana was engaged in a phone conversation with her mother. Just then, a knock at the door disturbed the quiet of the evening. Liana promptly hung up and rose from her bed to answer the door. A maid, standing patiently in the doorway, greeted her with a polite nod."Good evening, ma'am," the maid began. "Mr. Tony asked me what you would like to eat, so that I may serve it to you."Liana declined the offer, stating that she would be downstairs shortly.The maid nodded, her expression placid, before retreating down the hallway. Liana wasted no time returning to her room, changing into the elegant nightgown Tony had purchased for her.Once dressed, Liana made her way downstairs, expecting to see Mr. and Mrs. Black. To her surprise, the living room was empty save for Tony, who was deeply engrossed in his phone. He appeared not to notice her at first, until Liana called his name."Tony," she said, her voice cutting through the silence of the room.Tony's ga
Liana, resplendent in her wedding dress, sat before the mirror, her joyous expression dimming as her mother and sister, Mrs Victoria and Sarah, entered the room. She rose from her seat, her countenance shrouded in a quiet sadness as she turned to face them.Mrs Victoria, struck by her daughter's melancholic air, inquired, "Sweetheart, what's wrong? Why the long face?"Liana's voice wavered as she answered, "Mom, I will miss you."Mrs Victoria, touched by her daughter’s heartfelt sentiment, a gentle smile gracing her lips, wiped away the tears that had pooled in her eyes. "Oh, my sweet Liana," she murmured, patting Liana's hand affectionately. "Don't worry, your sister is here. She’ll take good care of me while you're off creating new memories with Tony."Liana, comforted by her mother's words, nodded, a small smile edging its way onto her face. "You’re right, Mom.”Mrs Victoria, sensing Liana’s anxiety, gathered her daughter in a warm embrace, holding her close. "Remember, my darlin
On the ride back from the wedding, Tony and Liana sat in uncomfortable silence, the once-sweet anticipation of their wedding night replaced by a heavy, unspoken tension. As Liana attempted to engage her new husband in conversation, Tony remained coldly distant, ignoring her attempts to connect.When they finally arrived at their new home, Tony exited the car, without saying a word, making his way to the door without a second glance. Liana watched him go, her heart sinking with each step he took away from her.As Liana entered the living room, her voice held a hint of desperation as she tried to reach her husband. “Tony, why are you doing this? What’s wrong?” she asked, a hint of hurt creeping into her voice. But Tony simply sat in silence, glued to his phone, his body language radiating cold indifference.Liana watched him, her mind racing with unanswered questions. “Was this how their marriage was going to be? Had she made a mistake? She couldn’t shake the feeling that something wa
The sound of Tony’s booming voice echoed throughout the room, the fury in his eyes sending chills down Liana’s spine. She stood frozen in place, still reeling from the unexpected slap and unable to understand the sudden change in her husband’s demeanor.As Tony stomped up the stairs, not deigning to spare her another glance, Liana’s tears began to flow once more. “How could he treat her so callously after the promise of eternal love they had made to each other just the night before?”Liana sat sadly on the couch, her thoughts racing as she tried to piece together the puzzle of Tony’s behavior. A maid’s timid presence interrupted her tumultuous musings, her voice gentle as she asked about clearing the dining table.Liana, overwhelmed by her emotions, snapped at the poor maid, her words dripping with bitterness and pain.“Just leave me be,” she growled, her expression fierce with rage.The maid hurriedly backed away, offering a mumbled apology before disappearing, leaving Liana alone i
"Tony ignored her and continued chatting on his phone, not even deigning to glance in Liana's direction. Tears trickled down her face as she struggled to comprehend the devastating news he had just imparted. Still reeling from his deceitful confession, she plucked up the courage to address him once more.“Tony,” she said, her voice tremulous as she tapped him on the shoulder.He looked up from his phone, his expression hardening as he met her gaze. “What is it now? I've told you the truth, what more do you want from me?”Tony shook his head in disbelief as he regarded Liana's tearful face. "Liana, listen to me carefully. I don't love you. I never did, and I don't plan to start now. Our marriage was a contract arrangement. That’s it. There’s nothing more between us.”Liana felt her heart shatter into a million pieces. “Tony, please, don’t do this,” she pleaded. “Can’t we try to build a real relationship together? A true marriage?”Tony scoffed, his expression turning contemptuous. “Lia
Tony and Rose entered into the mansion in the dead of night, the sound of the key turning in the lock announcing their arrival. Tony's gaze ran across to the couch; his eyes found Liana nestled in the softness of the couch cushions, eyes closed, light and regular breathing a sure telltale of deep sleep. Anger churned within Tony, its stormy depths brewing on the horizon of his mind.Tony's heavy hand jerked Liana from her sleep, his fingertips into her shoulder like pangs of a guilty conscience.Liana's eyes fluttered open, her bleary gaze meeting Tony's gaze as a soft groan of confusion escaped her lips. Her voice, soft and steady, flowed into the silence like a mountain stream."Tony, you're back," she whispered, the words a tentative statement laced with doubt."And what were you doing here?" he demanded in outraged tones. "If I had brought friends here, what would they think if they saw you like this?"Liana's lips parted, ready to fire back with a rebuttal, but she caught hersel
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
