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

Liana's eyes fluttered open, her groggy mind taking a moment to catch up with the morning light streaming through the window. As she slowly pushed herself off the bed, her sister, Sarah, bounced into the room, her excitement palpable."Hey, sis! I need some money for my project," Sarah exclaimed, her eyes lit up with enthusiasm."Sarah, I'll transfer the money to you as soon as I receive my salary," Liana replied, her voice still laced with sleep.Sarah's smile faltered slightly, her youthful exuberance dampened by Liana's response. "But sis, that's two weeks away. I need the money now," she insisted, the pleading tone in her voice undeniable."I know, Sarah, but I don't have the money right now. I'll try to figure something out." Liana sighed, her shoulders sagging. "Okay, sis. I just really need this for my project. It's important" shemurmured, her disappointment evident in her voice.Liana's heart twisted in her chest, her love for her sister warring with her financial limitation

As it was night. Liana exited her workplace and waited outside, wary of alerting her coworkers to her fake relationship with Tony, the very man she couldn't stand. After a twenty-minute wait, he emerged, his eyes sharp with hostility, her own gaze returning his glares. Unlocking the car, he helped her in and they sped off to his parents' mansion.Upon arrival, they entered the opulent house, finding Mr. and Mrs. Black seated at the dining table. "Mom, Dad," Tony greeted, planting a kiss on his mother's cheek, who responded with a cold glare.A palpable tension permeated the air as they took their seats, the clinking of cutlery the only sound to break the uncomfortable silence. Mrs. Black, with a stern expression, turned to Liana, still standing by the door. "Liana, join us," she commanded, her tone leaving no room for disagreement.Liana’s heart racing, nodded obediently and approached the table, where Tony pulled out a chair for her. They sat in a strained silence, the weight of th

Liana's phone began ringing during dinner, and she quickly checked the caller ID, revealing it was Sarah. As she prepared to answer, Tony tapped her under the table with his leg, signaling her to ignore the call. Mrs. Black noticed but remained silent, until Mr. Black spoke up."Liana, why don't you take your call?" he asked, his gaze penetrating."Sir... Sir..." Liana began, but was quickly interrupted by Tony."It was just a colleague from the hotel, Daddy," Tony lied smoothly, turning to Liana with a warning glance.As they finished their dinner, Liana and Tony stood to leave. Before they could depart, Mr. Black called out to Liana, who turned to face him with a hesitant smile.He approached her, taking her hand in his own and giving her a warm, reassuring smile. "Liana, you're always welcome here. This is your home, too."Liana felt a surge of emotion, but her eyes darted to Tony, who snorted derisively. She gave a brief nod in response.Mrs. Black cleared her throat as she appro

Tony issued a command to Lucas, instructing him to call Liana from the hotel. They both would soon be leaving to check her wedding dress fitting. Minutes later, Liana exited the hotel, only to be greeted with the sight of Tony engrossed in conversation with a mysterious woman. She stood there, watching from the corner, as the woman leaned in and planted a soft kiss on Tony's cheek before disappearing into the distance.Liana's heart sank as she watched Tony's casual response to the intimate gesture. "Is he really the man I'm about to marry?" she thought, a wave of uncertainty washing over her.With a heavy sigh, she steeled herself and made her way towards Tony, mustering a brave face. He smiled smugly as he spotted her, opening the car door and sliding into the driver's seat. Liana followed suit, her mind still reeling from the unsettling sight she had just witnessed.Liana settled into the passenger seat, the cool leather providing little comfort for the tumultuous emotions swirlin
