❤FLASHBACK❤
"mom where is he??"Ivin asked his mom as soon as he arrived at his parent's house not wanting to stay a minute longer,this house always gives him the creeps he grew up here,as big and luxurious as it is,it still holds the bad memories he tries to bury every single day the vicious beatings he suffered in the hands of his father when he was a kid which stopped only if a few bones where broken whenever he failed and exam or couldn't ride his bicycle properly or whatever difficult task his father brought upon him,saying he was a man and men dont cry they need to be tough..
"first eat something,I prepared all your favorite dishes"his mom cathy said sweetly tucking a few locs of her brown hair behind her ear,her beautiful face with dimples on each cheek shone with delight seeing her son
Its not every time she got to see her precious son her husband never allows her to she has no say in any matter whatsoever even when her other son left she acted tough when deep down she was hurt knowing her husband will never bother bring him back..
"mom I'll have that later first tell me how you've been"he led her to the living room and sat down with her hands in his.
"am fine don't worry about me....you look good and handsome" she smiled warmly if Ivin didn't know any better he he would think his mom was happy and living a luxury life but no his dad brings nothing but hell on her...
"mom my house is big enough,move in with me"
"no silly am fine here as it is whose going to take care of your dad...just get married give me a daughter in law" there it goes again whenever he he brings up moving in with him,she always tells him to get married which he hated...no woman fits to be his wife...
"not again mom"just then his father strolled down the stairs he was quite energetic despite being old his black shiny hair was the same as ever a few wrinkles on his face but still handsome with that charming smile which his mom might have fallen for without knowing he was a devil....he didn't even look ill at all Ivin guessed as much something was up....
"son you finally decided to visit your old man huh??" he sat lazily like a billionaire he was quite bossy and never liked anything simple and cheap
"busy with work"Ivin didn't bother greeting him nor did he plan to stay and chat happily like father and son which never existed
"I'll be in the kitchen...carry on with your father"she parted her son's shoulder lightly and left knowing her husband had a serious issue to discuss with him
"why am I here?"
"I'll go straight to the point son"his father said in a serious tone "I have arranged a marriage alliance with my friend you know his daughter is beautiful and since we've been friends for a long time how about we seal this off and become a family"
Ivin expected as much this old man was too vicious he's sure this isn't all about becoming a family,company shares are involved he has a lot of money why is he too greedy for more
"are you doing this for your own benefits??"he tried by all means to hide his rage
"this will benefit you too your empire will grow double son"its all he wanted for his one favorite son to become untouchable and to his delight Ivin fulfilled that wish,He's a ruthless business man just like he was himself back in his early age
"Unbelievable!!"Ivin said and prepared to leave
"you have no choice Ivin my decision is final!!"
"you know what anyone can have a child and call themselves a parent but a real parent is someone who puts that child above all their own selfish needs and wants...but not you,no wonder my brother left!!" his cruel father but not this time he won't have it..Ivin stormed out without even looking back he was angry even when his mom shouted for him to come back he couldn't.
"let him be am sure when he calms down he will realize my plan is perfect"his father said to his mom
END OF FLASHBACK
"bro what happened to you why is your hand like that"chris crounched down inspecting his well tied up wound...hes pretty sure ivin crushed several wine glasses in his bare hand its frightening
"it's nothing chris,take care of everything here am going home"if not for being the guest of honor he wouldn't have come considering his mood was off
"let me at least drive you home"chris hated seeing his best friend like this he has gone through so much pain and if anyone ever dared to harm him he would personally kill them..
"stop acting like a woman am fine"Ivin chuckled lightly "stan will drive"
"if you say so"chris watched as ivin disappeared from sight
"don't worry bro I found the perfect woman for you,all I have to do is trap her too and she'll be yours"chris laughed happily at his own stupid idea he knew getting that woman to listen to him won't be so easy but he has to try for his friend
"sounds cheesy but am up for it"he threw away his mask "time to look for my little wild cat blackmailer I didn't know you would be here"
After an awful night of dancing and saying no to all the flirty rich men Liliana was beyond exhausted to top it up her heavy dress was something else
"jacob where the heck are u?am standing outside waiting for u"this is the seventh voice message she has sent to jacob but no reply she has searched for him everywhere but no sign of him,she looked at herself she didn't bring her purse or any money how is she going to get home "damn you jay you fool"she was Liliana Williams how dare he ditch her
"hello pretty lady"she turned around were the voice came from and felt disgusted three weirdly looking obviously drunk men with nothing but lust in their eyes stood before her
"do u need help?"she glared at them she was in a bad mood and if they try anything funny so help her hell will fall on them
"that dress look sexy on you beautiful come with us and we promise to give you a good time"one of them touched her dress
"walk away from me and I assure you this will end smoothly for you"she said innocently
"bitch!stop acting innocent we know you want us so better come with us or be forced"the second one pulled her hair hard by this time she was seeing red anger flashed in her eyes as she held his arm and twisted it in a position it shouldn't go and kicked him in the gut he fell on the ground spitting a mouthful of red liquid..
seeing the condition of his friend the two men advanced forward and attempted an attack but they both suffered the same fate..now all three were lying on the ground groaning in pain
"useless"she fixed her dress and called out "chris come out here!"
"wow!superb madam that was epic"he came out from his hiding spot applauding happily but Liliana only scoffed
"did you enjoy the show couldn't you have done something?"
"I was gonna but then again I wanted to see how tough you are"
"coward"she walked away with chris in pursuit
"do u need a ride madam?"
"don't act so friendly you are still owing me Mr smith"even though she pretended not to care she was thrilled at least this fool can give her a ride home and deal with him later
"I know I know but its not safe out here let me drop you off then we can deal with the contract thingy later"all he needed was to get close to her be nice to her once he becomes friends with her that silly contract will be history
"sure"they walked to his black SUV like a perfect gentleman he opened the car door for her,she settled in the passenger'seat and chris got in s well
"boyfriend ditched you??"
"herebis my address"she ignored his question but chris didn't mind only smiled foolishly of course she found that weird
"okay madam am at your service"with that he drove off..
