Chapter 62With her hands folded across her chest and her brows scrunched up in disgust, Naya shook her head sideways. They had finished shopping for her party dress about half an hour ago and now it was Liam's turn.“Are you saying I should go back in there and change my clothes for the hundredth time?” He asked. This time around, he didn't bother to hide his displeasure, it was as if the next minute, he was going to explode with anger. “Stop whining, will you?” Naya shot back with a little chuckle while he tossed his head to the side, face palming himself and at the same wishing he did his private shopping while she was doing hers. “You're a pain in the ass.” He said under his breath while Naya just laughed. The shopping which she thought was going to be boring had turned out to be something she never expected. Bonding with Liam this way made her forget about her worries and she didn't want it to stop even for a second. “If you refuse this time around, I will have no choice but
Chapter 63Titling his head to the side, Silvan wanted to shut her up but he couldn't bring himself to do so. As much as he was convinced that Sandra had put up the show earlier, he was also tempted to believe that they were couples. All the while he was thinking they were friends and nothing more but with Sandra and Lily speaking about marriage to Liam, he became confused. Clearing his throat to get Lily's attention, he had his middle finger under his nostrils and when she finally turned towards him, he cleared his throat before saying, “Are you certain with what you're saying?” He asked, staring intently at her. “Of course… don't tell me you didn't…” Lily was still speaking with her tone bursting with excitement since she already got the needed attention but her joy was cut short when Sandra joined them..Now standing beside Silvan just like she had always wanted since he had a long crush on him, she placed her hand on his shoulder and then leaned towards him, “She is right.” St
Chapter 64Still struggling to reach out to her despite his blurry vision, Liam burped, holding the edge of the table for support as he squinted. Suddenly, his phone fell through his hand into the ground and with a low sigh, he rested his head against the table, shutting his eyes tightly. This helped a bit but the next second when he opened his eyes, the pains came rushing in that he had to bite his lower lips as he let out a low growl of discomfort. The loud music that was blaring from the speakers and the merry voice wasn't helping matters a bit. It was as if the next minute he was going to pass out but he held on. Naya was missing, that was the topmost issue on his mind. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Granny Elena had asked both of them to attend her friend's party only for her granddaughter to go missing, of course, he was in big trouble. Nathan and Sam will also get the opportunity they had been waiting for to lash him and this time around since h
Chapter 65While all these were going on, Sandra, Silvan, and Sam, the orchestrator of the whole chaos were in the hall, waiting for the right time for them to launch their plans.Immediately the waiter whom they had asked to do the job walked up to them with a smile etched on his lips, they became pumped up, ready to go ahead with the next phase of their plan.Blinded with rage, Silvan had suggested to Sam and Sandra to do something to Liam and they both accepted. Naya was involved in this because Sandra wanted to get a pound of her flesh and Sam wanted to make Granny Elena withdraw her offer of giving her a spot in the family company. “Ready?” Silvan asked and at once Sandra nodded. Pulling herself up, she walked up to the podium and then grabbed a microphone. When all attention was turned in her direction, she began to sob uncontrollably, making everyone present to be worried. She kept on with this act for a while before she finally announced to the guest that Liam and Naya had

Chapter 67After about half an hour of being in so much discomfort, Naya finally relaxed and Liam let out a gasp of relief, grateful that nothing serious had happened. Now sitting on the couch that overlooked the bed, he never allowed his eyes to leave her even for once as he wondered what it was all about. The last time he checked, he hadn't offended anyone to the point that they wanted to pin a murder on him. He believed that Naya was lucky to pull off alive because it was an uncommon miracle.Since she was acting uncomfortable, he felt that the person behind it all had spiked her drink with a lethal quality and if anything eventually happened to her, all blame would be pushed on him. Letting out a low sigh, he sank deeper into the couch and then began to fiddle with the flash drive he was holding. Smiling, he continued this repeated motion. He was itching to view the content but his laptop wasn't handy and he couldn't risk sticking the flash drive into another device, lest it g
Chapter 68 All through the drive to their home, Naya had her gaze out of the window as she reviewed all that had happened in her head. Had it been Liam hadn't come to her aid again, she might have ended up in the back books of her grandmother for denting the family name by sleeping with a random guy for the second time.The thought of this made her shudder as her resentment for Nathan, Sandra and Sam grew. Even though Nathan wasn't present, she still felt he had a role to play in it. Blinking her eyes rapidly, she tried to forget about what had happened but she just couldn't. It was as if it had been stamped permanently to her memory and she was going to live with it for the rest of her life. Casting Liam a glance, she saw him fiddling with a flash drive. She wanted to ask him what it contained but when she remembered he had Mr. Jones's project at hand, she kept her questions to herself. About half an hour later, Wren pulled up in the garage. Stressed from the day's event and th
Chapter 69After leaving the hospital and promising Rose that he was going to visit her after the competition which was scheduled to be held the following day, he returned home.Since it was already late, he planned out that he was going to grab a late-night snack afterward and proceed to bed so he would be fully rested for the following day. Pushing the door open, the first thing that attracted him when he got in was the light in Naya's room. She had been waiting for his arrival so she could show him the proposal she had written.All through the day, she had been trying to come up with the best work to please Liam and even decided to stay up until he returned. She was already drifting off when the door creaked open and immediately, she got off her study table, and with the speed of lightning, made her way downstairs to go meet with him. Smiling broadly, she showed off the screen of her iPad to him with a bright smile on her face. She was expecting him to reciprocate it but instead
