Chapter 7: Surprised?
Last Updated:
2023-08-02 12:00:22Lianna Callis Smith…The youngest daughter of Mr. Damascene Smith, owner of Smith Constructions. The alienated princess in the Smith household.
And...the blind girl behind the innocent face.
Initially, she was just a pest. A nosy girl that kept putting me at a loss for words. Someone who kept challenging the domineering authority I always imposed to everyone surrounding me.
Always clothed with boring oversized shirts, along with her pair of white, ragged headphones dangling on her neck like a piece of jewelry. The woman was the first to dare doing the opposite to how everyone was usually treating me.
Time flew. We kept bumping into each other randomly. May it just be on the sides

The wedding…went exactly as they planned. All the characters now gathered in one room. Jasper glances at Lianna.They managed to arrive at this very moment. All that’s left is to finish it with a bang. But both of them knew that’s not going to be easy. Lianna’s expression said it all. She was still shaking, obviously affected by what happened. Not knowing what to do, his hand unconsciously reaches her back, patting her softly.Their eyes immediately met. Even without words, they knew exactly what the other felt. They knew there’s still lingering feelings despite their preparation. However, hearing the voice of the newly-arrived guest, Jasper clenched his fist and took a heavy sigh.Unlike Lianna, he had another method in mind.

“Ha! You’re truly out of your mind!” Natalia scoffs before rolling her eyes. Such a thing was delusional in her ears. Eridessa felt the same way.“You? Someone like you capable of doing that? Hahahaha! That’s a good laugh! You got to have your stories straight enough to sound a lot more convincing!”As expected, they weren’t buying it. Instilled deeply in their minds is the fact that she’s still the lowest of the low. That for someone like her to uttering ambitious words was a still dream, impossible and laughable.The anxiety within her immediately vanished into thin air whenever the two ladies spouted their usual insults. It’s like a huge chunk of the burden weighing down her delicate shoulders was lifted, r

"Ugh…"A strong, irritating sensation came flashing in Lianna's eyes, damping her sensitive eyelids with a familiar warmth. With eyes still half-open, the wooden ceiling greeted her blurry sight.Feeling the soft surface of the white, linen sheets, she lazily pulls herself upward in a sitting position, wearing turquoise-colored pajamas. Her right palm raised to block the peeking sunlight from the white curtains. Hearing a soft cluttering noise beyond the door, she gets up with groggy steps, eventually finding herself in the kitchen.“Oh, you're up? Perfect timing. I made omelets! Have a seat.” Lacey Mitchell greets her with a smile, with two plates at hand. She silently pulls a chair and drops herself, with arms crossed above the wooden table.

“We’ve arrived, madam” A voice brought her slumbering senses back to reality. Giving a nod to the man in front, she fixes herself before exiting the black, luxurious vehicle. Accompanied by a well-suited young man, she enters the lavish, commercial skyscraper through the detached VIP entrance. Days may have passed, but the bomb they threw that day was still the craze. It continued to linger throughout all corners of high society. So much that it eventually reached…that person’s ears. Evading the sights of any influential person present in the building, the man guided her inside the VIP elevator, situated on the separate corner of the grand lobby. The elevator itself was s

She felt herself shaking as the words she dreaded far too long escaped her lips. The slumbering anger inside her, the shattered hopes of a young child who yearned for her father and brother's love. The innocent wishes that weren't supposed to be begged for. Those hopelessness, accumulated by the passage of time, made her question the very meaning of her existence.These people in front of her…were the first…to break her.How cruel must they be?"Oh? Don't act like you're surprised now. You knew it, so damn well. I may have carried YOUR name, yet you NEVER accepted me as YOUR OWN." "And family you say? Are you kidding me?...Since when was I treated like the Smith's sole princess…? Fuck being a princess, I wasn't even treated like a decent human being in your fucking grand mansion!"She screamed bloody hell, unable to suppress the surging emotions. Her breathing staggered, her nails found its way to her palms, digging deeper to her delicate skin. Yet she paid no mind. What's circling h

"Where are you? Come to my office if you have time this afternoon." Reading the message sent by Leonard Kreisler, Lianna traverses on to the same hallway she passed earlier, wanting to exit the building as soon as possible. The clicking noises sourcing from the high footwear she uncomfortably wore, as it hit the marbled surface of the floor echoed through the deafening silence of the corridors. Keeping herself busy by maintaining focus towards the same VIP elevator she previously rode, a vibration from her phone distracted her. "How did it go?" A single message popped on the screen. It was from Jasper. Her husband. Yet despite their newly-published label, her fingers stopped in their tracks, halting to what seemed to be a reply. She couldn’t find the words appropriate enough to be a reply. How did it go? Did it end well? Bad? Did meeting her previous family satisfied her in the end? Angered her? Lianna felt through countless emotions in just minutes. She felt suffocated being in

"Hey, sir Romero. Do I look shabby?" Lianna’s voice echoed through the elevator. It was just them three inside. With their figures reflected on the glossy finish of the lift, she shifts her gaze on the man on her left side. Still on his prim and proper stance, Lance didn’t even flinch by her sudden remark. She couldn’t help but think about it earlier. She didn’t think about appearances when her sight was still blurry. How could she, when it's taking her all just to move forward without bumping on something and injuring herself. Yet, things have changed in just one day. The clothes she frequently wore wouldn’t suffice for the status she currently possesses. It was the first time she went out since the wedding. Though with the initial agenda of meeting her ex-family, she still picked out the nicest thing she owned from her closet,

A few seconds later, the lift came to a stop and in an instant, she was greeted by an unfamiliar air. The moment the elevators opened, her mouth was slightly flung open as they traversed the peculiar territory.The theme of the place was something she didn’t expect. Rather, it was a complete contrast to the majority of the building design. Her vision was completely used to the glass windows and western feel that she was taken aback by the overpowering wooden structure and paperlike partitions. Intricately crafted stone-like lanterns were also dangling on the corners, unlike the preponderance of luxury chandeliers.The whole place screams….eastern.“I see you’ve taken interest in the interiors.” Selene, although leading the way, still noti

"Shit! I'm late!" Lianna exclaimed, followed by a series of shrieks and clumsy sprint to the bathroom. A bunch of curses echoed on the tiled walls, complaining about how she got quite a lengthy sleep. Too comfortable to earn her a hectic morning.It only took her a speedy few minutes to collect herself into a rather decent look before grabbing her messy things and dumping them in her bag."Hey. Where are you off this early in the morning?" Traversing down the staircase, her head tilted to the source of the sound.Sneaking a peek from the kitchen, Jasper's head popped up to meet her disheveled gaze."Oh Jasper, you're still here. Can I ride with you to the office? I forgot to set up the alarm and I'm seriously late." She pleaded while trying to grab hold of all the things she needed to bring. Both of her hands were busy and cluttered as it is, making her attention flying everywhere.However, Lianna raised her head once again when she realizes something."Wait…why are you not dressed? A

"Finally, that lasted far too long."Jasper breathes out a tired sigh, loosening down the black tie that seemed to choke out the living shit out of him for the entire afternoon."Good work today, Mr. Wayne. You've been quite impressive these past few months. So impressive, I almost thought you became a different person." The silence he was craving after a long, hectic meeting immediately was thrown out of the window when a familiar voice came up behind him."Mr. Lim. It's nothing to cause such high regards." Jasper plastered a fake smile as he turned to meet the middle-aged man exiting the board room after him.Despite the friendly word, his brows twitched at the sight of the shameless man who used to ridicule him in the past, now seemingly shining the widest smile he could offer."Humble, at that. Now that I'm seeing clearly, you're slowly resembling your father and elder siblings. I guess, it's in the blood no matter how one looks.""Maybe it is…" "Oh well. Enough of that. I'm curi

"Oh would you look at that…the blind girl finally has minions following her. An upgrade, is it?" Eridessa glanced at Seria, who froze in nervousness. Her hands holding the cards visibly shaking.Despite the smiling face, Seria knows that the newly arrived woman is someone who's up to no good."Weren't you listening back then? The blind girl is no longer blind. Might that be you? Can't you see we're having fun for ourselves?" Lianna lazily looks at her, ticking her off with the unexpected attitude."How rude, Lianna. I was just catching up with you…" Despite her remark, Lianna still caught on to the grit."Here I am wondering where you went after the wedding? Oh! Was it the honeymoon? Tsk. My bad. I was also busy with mine so it slipped my mind. Congratulations on your wedding, Mrs. Kilmer. I heard you had a SPECTACULAR ceremony. I'm jealous." Lianna didn't know where she got the courage to speak such sharp words but she did, like it's a natural thing to do."Is it me or you look quite

Losing count of all the time passed, Lianna sighs heavily as she lazily slumps towards her desk. This was the first time she felt so drained and tired going back and forth outside of her comfort zone.For someone who spent most of her life in the vicinity of her home, this was a new chapter of her. A new accomplishment, not as Lianna Smith or Kilmer, but as Lianna Callis Kreisler Wayne.Yet, her new identity and status has its limits. With the challenge of building an entertainment agency from the ground, a lot of things emerged to be settled. Despite being declared an heir and a wife of a powerful man, Lianna hasn't proven herself, hence the people she had met were quite wary in involving themselves with her for business relations. In the eyes of such wealthy businessmen, she was just a newborn.She was discouraged at first, yet, the pressure that was building gave her a boost to cease the sulking and step up her game. Despite the countless rejections to hire a talent, she remained p

"You're back too early." Chairman Leo greeted Lianna when she entered his main office.She trailed her eyes to the entire space before walking towards his table at the very front. She still couldn't get used to how beautiful the interiors in this office were."I need to be prepared. Anyways, what should I do?" Lianna asked. A week after they got back from their trip, she was to officially report to the office, hence marching inside the building with nervousness. A lot of people were watching her every move and it's taking her all not to collapse in anxiety from their intense stares.'Geez…back then, I didn't have to worry about such attention.' She muttered to herself."Here. Read it." He pulled a folder from one of the drawers and lent it to her. Confusion instantly came over her when she read the details inside."An entertainment branch? From what I remember, the Kreisler family doesn't dwell in that type of industry." Before the wedding, she underwent training under him for a shor

"Greetings. You've arrived." As soon as they reached the parking lot, they were met with a few, black suited men."Lance…how're you doing?" Jasper calls out the man in front, seemingly leading the other men with him. With his usual, black outfit, Lance bows before responding."Doing good sir." He answered briefly. Lianna then calls him next. It's been a while since she saw her stoic guard again."Hello, sir Romero. Good to see you again.""You too, Madam. I see you're doing well." He flashes a reserved smile."Yup. I had a great time." She spoke joyfully, returning the smile she received.Meanwhile, Jasper twitches his brows. His eyes switched between the two, who were currently exchanging greetings."We have finished loading the luggage, so–" before Lance could continue, Jasper cut him off."Actually, Lance. Give me the keys." He spoke, his palm suspended in the air, waiting."Pardon?""Ride with Taylor this time. I'll drive the both of us." When he responded, he turned to Lianna. Se

The past month was fun. After that talk by the beach, Lianna and Jasper got to know more about each other. As his friend said before they departed to the island, they had the entire half of the island for themselves, that included first dibs to the natural reserves and tourist spots that were yet to be opened to the public.There was awkwardness in the air at first, but after a few days, slowly and steadily, they forged a friendship above their contractual relationship.Both Lianna and Jasper temporarily forgot about everything and enjoyed each other's company. They couldn't hide the excitement within them, realizing that they made another genuine friend after their small circle.And just like always, their time alone ended in a flash…so as it seemed for them."I request everyone aboard to please sit back and wear your seatbelts, as we are nearing for landing." The captain announced in the intercom from the cockpit. The two who were busy passing time playing chess hurried to sit back

“A penny of your thoughts?” Upon hearing a mellow voice, Lianna turned. With the cold wind putting his hair in disarray, Jasper walked towards her, wearing a simple polo shirt and pants, paired with casual slippers. Gazing at his face, Lianna thought of the drastic, physical change of his body, comparing how he looked when they first met. If she didn’t know any better, he might’ve looked like someone else.“Jasper…are you feeling okay?”“Yeah. Sorry, I wasn't able to join you for most of the afternoon.” he spoke in a shy apology. Thinking how he just straight up collapsed, the moment his body touched the soft bed, embarrassment filled his system.Despite their agreement, they were still a married couple. Newlyweds, at that. As a husband, the first thing he did was to sleep right in and left his wife to wander for herself. Lianna saw right through him, catching up with his internal dilemma. “It's fine. I've got a lot of free time wandering around. The place is gorgeous.” It was the

"Why didn't you protect her?" It was the first thing that Rupert heard the moment he entered the room. He just got back from talking to his mother, still stressed. Yet, seeing another person inside, he sighed in disbelief."Mitchell…""The doctor said about traumatic infliction…who did this to her? Was it your family?" Lacey spoke with gritted teeth, gaze fixated on Lianna who busied herself watching the scenery outside from the large, glass windows.She never uttered a word while they conversed, as if she's in her own, little world. Looking so lost, Lacey raged, especially when she confirmed her suspicions when he spoke."Unfortunately…yes." In an instant, Rupert felt…embarrassed. He assured Lacey he'd take care of her, yet this happened."Damn…I know your bitch of a mother is the culprit, right? That witch, how dare she! I've been holding back because it's your family and Lia's wish, but this…she just sentenced herself for torture for almost killing my sister!" Lacey wanted to burst
