Oliver Castillo________Day in and day out, she was still missing. Maybe I deserved it. With everything I put her through, all those hard times she had while at work, I deserved it all. I wondered why the days were rushing. I could only remember her, but I couldn't see her. Even the ability to be my own had left me as well. I made new friends, cigars, and alcohol. One bottle, two, no, too many of them were what kept me company in my bedroom. The space she occupied was void, a spot I had placed her in my heart was still there for her.The worst I did was to leave her on that table back at the party. I was to return as mister CO, but the moment my eyes fell on a vacant seat, and then I saw Julia arguing with Jason, I knew something was wrong.I was ready that day. The part of me that I hid from everyone, I was ready to show it to the world. I believed that a good start was to show her the true me.She left without a word. Even a letter or a message. She disappeared like she never exi
Oliver Castillo____"For Christ's sake," Knox William gritted in irritation the moment I walked into his office. He did not like my visit. "To what do I owe this evening visit?"I stepped close to his table and tossed my phone on him. The screen displayed the car he used to pick Liana with. It was a photo from CCTV cameras at the building where the party was."Oh, this looks suspicious and not good at all. Do I need a lawyer?"I clenched my jaws as I glared down at him. After a moment, I spoke. "Where is she?""She? Who?" He cocked a brow."Don't pull the stupid card on me, you know very well what I am asking." My voice grew rough and he chuckled."Hm, very intimidating. Wait, you can't find her? That's strange." He smirked and my fist tightened. I was holding it, the anger and the urge to jump on him, I was trying very hard. "Well, for your information, I'm in no position to give her personal–""Mister William," I leaned my hands on the table, directing my glare to him as the demons
Liana Moore.____I shut the whole world off to focus on myself. To love myself.I resumed my online classes because I had a few months to graduate. I also got a part-time job, so having half a day free, I was able to focus on my studies.Maybe that way, people would stop seeing me as an uneducated girl who they could walk on. Someone they could use however they wished.It had been a month since I disappeared from Oliver's life. I struggled to set everything behind me. Though there was a part of me that couldn't let go, it forced me to ignore it.I wasn't mad he hurt me, I wasn't angry that he found someone he could walk over, I was furious at myself for letting him in. I once swore to never let men hurt me ever again, but being a fool, I did. I was blinded by my feelings for him.I admit I liked him, and the truth was, he had started falling in love with him. I was missing him terribly but sadly, he was fake, everything he did to me was fake. Every word he whispered to me was an abso
Oliver Castillo____I managed to penetrate into a hole that Liana had been hiding for a freaking month.Things had to get dirty since Knox played it hard. He refused me a chance to see her in three visits to the resort. He forced me to do things in a wild way, and I did. It was Oliver he was not allowing in, but not Mister CO. After digging for information about his father's business, I learned that the resort was not fully finished due to a lack of funds. Though it was a secret he kept from every social media. There were a few buildings and unfinished sites that he was still finishing as the resort operated. That's where Mister CO came in with a business proposal. My men approached Knox's father with a report that Mister CO was interested in his Resort line of business, and he was interested in partnership or buying shares in the business. I also pinched the idea of taking the business worldwide.All shares were sold, that's the report I got, and having a big name as Mister CO, Wi
Liana Moore____"It will be good for you," Knox urged. "If you don't speak to him, you'll never get over it. So, go and talk about what you feel.""I hate him." I nibbled my lower lip in pure resentment. "I don't want to see him.""Liana," He moved closer and looked into my eyes. "Will you be able to sleep knowing he called you for you to talk and did not go?""I just…" I poked my head. "I don't know. I don't really know."I was scared, honestly. I was terrified that he would admit that everything was true. I was scared that the truth would hurt me even more. The worst was to hear him agree that he fucked me for a bet, that was tormenting me.After a long process of debating, I chose to go and end things. Knox was right, it was good for me.I wanted to move on like I did with Timothy. Though there were things that were left unsaid between Timothy and me, I felt he did not deserve my energy, but Oliver did.He penetrated into my heart, manipulated me, and made me a fool. Maybe a thank
Liana Moore_____He was making it harder for us. With him holding me under his built physique. His hands wrapped on my back with no sign that he was to let go. I couldn't leave him.I wanted to get out of his life. I was good at walking away, and the history with my family was evident. But he was different. Though it broke me, a part of me wanted him so badly. I was fighting between letting him go and holding on a little. To give us another chance, but I was scared.Tears cascaded down my cheeks. I was to ruin his suit if he was not to let me go, but he wasn't.I missed him so badly, but it scared me to go back to where we came from. "Let me go, please." I sobbed. "Oliver,""No." He murmured in my ear. His voice was broken. "Don't tell me to let you go. I won't.""We can't do this–""I can." The movement of his lips against my skin brought tickles all over my body. "I can do it. I will do it. Let me love you. I won't ask for your love. Liana, just let me love you. I can do that."
Liana Moore____It wasn't a good night after I missed Oliver by the beach. I know I could have called him for us to meet but I chose to let it be. I went back to the room hoping to sleep but I did not. Or maybe I did, but too late.I woke up feeling scrambled. The little sanity in me wanted a good cup of coffee, or something with chocolate, or better still, Oliver.I took my morning routine, getting ready for my shift. I woke up earlier than before but I was pretty sure that I looked like an abandoned dog in the street. Probably dead. I needed a good sleep.I dragged my feet to the office building. I made sure I used the route that I would be lucky enough to fall into Oliver, that was in case he was still around. But lack was not on my side, cause what I received were stares I got from everyone I met on my way.I had to double-check my outfit. A good pair of official trousers and a nice woolen sweater couldn't have been a problem, right? Or maybe the trouser shrank my ass. I could on
Liana Moore_____Oliver and I arrived in Las Vegas. It was our second time to be in the city together. This time, he took me to the mansion he owned as Mister CO. His home.I admit he had a taste like his father. Everything about the mansion was as calming as Castillo mansion. What was different was that his mansion was in an estate facing the beach."You have a beautiful place," I said as we both ambled to the entrance. He was holding my hand, allowing me to feel his warmth."Thank you.""You used to stay here before coming to California?""Yes, though no one knew except for my friends."I nodded. We hadn't opened the entrance door when it flew open. Julia jumped in front of us while squealing. "Finally!"She jumped on me. "Oh." She clutched me into a bone-wrecking hug."Girl, you need a good beating.""I do." I hugged her back. It was nice to see her again after a month. "You smell like garlic.""Oh, we are cooking." She pulled out and gave Oliver a brief hug. "Come, join us." She
