Liana Moore____“What are you all doing here? Don't you have better things to do?” The tears were on edge. I couldn't stop the feeling in my heart. It felt strange to have people so supportive who could stand with me in whites and blues.It was something I never got from my family. And getting from people I never thought I would meet felt amazing in many ways. They all almost frowned at my statement. Most of them were snapping pictures of me wearing a black-blue graduation gown.“You did it bitch.” Zipporah was the first to make her way to me and sank into me. She smelt like onion, I couldn't help but laugh. “Have you been cooking?”“Castillos made me their chef. But it was all for you.” “Thank you Zip, you are the best human being.” We both giggled before she pulled out, letting Julia take her hug and I never hesitated. “God, you had a dance class today,” I murmured against Julia’s shoulder. “I did not ask.” She teased. “Congratulations honey”.“Thank you, Julia.” “Are we gett
Liana Moore____I used to say I would work hard and graduate to make Mum proud. To at least get on the good side of her that she showed Kira. But seeing her at my graduation no longer aligned with my desires. The sickness in my heart wanted her gone. She wore a nice black dress that fitted her well. But the woman behind the dress had a darker soul than the cloth. She used to scare me, but at that minute, I wanted to stand my foot.The last time I saw her, she had me falling on my knees begging her. She kicked me out of her house like I was a filthy beggar. At least now I had friends who saw me as something more than just the girl she always hated.Oliver got up from his knee. I noticed he retrieved the ring and did not slide it into my finger. We all looked at the lady taking calculated steps towards me. Eyeing me from head to toe, then back to Oliver.An evil laughter left her lips, and oh, it drilled into every flesh in my fragile heart. “So, someone made you be something in the w
Oliver Castillo_____“I can go talk to her if you wish?” My father suggested and I sighed then got up.“No, I'll go.” I waved the rest. “You can go home. I am sure she doesn't want to talk now.” I dismissed them. You'd think someone died with the way everyone showed up for Liana. They cared for her, knowing what happened earlier, they were concerned for her.It's been half an hour since we arrived. Liana never stepped out of the room she went to and the worst was that she locked herself from inside. I wanted to give her space but every second got me worried. So I went back to the door and knocked. “Liana,”Silence.“You are scaring me,” I said while knocking again. “Can you open the door?” Things took a dark turn finding me unprepared. I wished I told her earlier that my lawyer had been investigating her family. My lawyer warned me about the family, and the dark business that Liana’s mother was capable of doing. She was after money, and the worst was that she was ready to go to any
-Mature scene ahead-Liana Moore___ “Thank you.” I appreciated Oliver after he had pulled a seat for me. After a gloomy day, we both resolved to celebrate my graduation. So he took me on a dinner date in a nearby restaurant. The restaurant had this uniqueness in it. The calm feeling of its gentle music did much to make me feel relaxed.Oliver booked a VIP room where it was just us. The decoration in the room had this romantic ambiance, it felt like he had planned to bring me to the restaurant after he proposed. He occupied a seat across from me, facing directly towards me. “The food here is amazing. I bet you'll love it.”“I agree, I once ate here with your father. He had a meeting here and he always went anywhere with me.” I smiled. “Though I have never been in a VIP room. It's awesome.”“I had a feeling you have been here.” He chuckled. “Actually, I know you've been to most restaurants here in town. I saw many pictures of you accompanying my father.”I agreed with him. “Yes. I th
Liana Moore____Mum was forcing me to take the case to another level. In fact, she wasn't even my mother, yet I gave her a week to be good and look for me. But instead, she began sending death threats my way. I wondered how many men she hired to watch me, others were after Oliver, and it was now time to take the matter into hand.I never saw my parents. Though I looked into the internet to see if I was to find any Alexander Moore, there was nothing. Maybe Mum and Dad did everything they could to erase him. If he owned the Moore law firm, then I am sure his business was supposed to be registered under his name.I got chills thinking about the whole situation. At some point, I avoided it for my sake. I did not want to be stressed in any way.Erasing some research on Google, I googled again about Moore Law Firm. It was founded a year before I was born. For ten years, it ran as a small firm in the state until it grew its wings. The growth wasn't as good until the partnership with Timothy
Liana Moore____Michael, Oliver's lawyer and I stopped outside my parent's mansion. I couldn't believe I showed up in New York, a place I promised myself to never step foot. Standing outside the gate, old memories sabotaged me. The rainy day when they kicked me out like I was a nobody. Everything that happened to me while I was in the house years back still rang in me.I unbuckled, “I will call you if I need you.”“I don't think that's what Mister Castillo instructed.”A sigh left me, followed by a sudden tense that ran all over my body. I had no idea what awaited me inside. There were cameras at the gate and I was sure if Mum and Kira were inside, they knew I was there. “Okay, let's go then.” I gave in. After all, it was for my safety.I went to the bell and rang it without hesitation. The fact that I knew the truth gave me the courage to approach them. I rang the bell again, already impatient knowing we had a gate man who attended to the gate. Maybe he was cleaning the compound.W
Liana Moore____3 weeks laterI won the case. I watched Mum get dragged by the police for the murder of her husband. I couldn't imagine how one could be so evil to poison their husband so they could own a family business. But her husband wasn't to worry, like to realize they schemed my parent's death. “You wicked daughter, I treated you like my own!” She screamed at me while disappearing. The tears I had been holding threatened to spill but I held them when I saw Timothy walking to me. Fury filled me again. I turned to Oliver who had his hand around my waist. “Let's get out of here,” I whispered but Timothy arrived. My eyes caught Kira leaving. The court had ordered her to leave the mansion and I saw how devastated she was. Lost, angry, confused, alone. She disappeared from the door and I sighed, focusing on Timothy. “Liana—”“Miss Moore,” Oliver said before I did. “She is Miss Moore for you and if you want to talk to her, you know her lawyer.” He declared and turned to me. “Let'
Liana Moore____My eyes remained on the mirror with Oliver standing behind me. He was busy drying my hair after we had a long warm shower where we did a lot of naughty things. I could feel his fullness in me, stretching my hole and filling me while I stood against the shower wall. His kisses all over my skin, the parts of me where his lips met were left burning with immense desires.He knew how to handle me, he loved handling my body, worshiping every inch of my skin. And I loved it all, my body allowed him in.“What?” I asked when I noticed he was gazing at me a lot.A warm smile settled on his lips. “Nothing. I just love how you trust me with your hair.”My brows pulled together. “Now I am scared.” He laughed, God, even his laughter was so cute. “Oliver!” I wore a serious look though I felt like joining him in laughing. “I remembered doing this to Clara, and I ended up burning her.” I suddenly jerked and stepped away. Leaving him as he laughed. I could never trust him again now.
