Chapter 192 Engagement 1
Lots of guest arrived at Brietbart's mansion for his engagement party. Elsa stood behind a pillar as she watched everyone step in in their beautiful and expensive attires made in the most fashionable way possible.
She had no idea on what was happening here tonight but all she knew was that she was going to leave this place, no matter what it cost.
Her eyes swooped around the guest until it fell on a farmiliar figure that just stepped in. His usual indifference expression was on, making everyone present in the room pause to stare at him astonished by his presence.
Most of them from other cities have heard about his death, so what was he doing here or where they all seeing a ghost?
*Gasp*
"Liam." She whispered as hope filled her eyes, but before she could rush down to meet him.........
"What are you doing there my darling, come let's make the Introduction!" Brietbart held her by the wrist and took her down the grand stairs. He was the happiest man in the building tonight.
Everyone cheered as they approached the ball room, Elsa wasn't worried about anything else, all that was in her head and ming was Liam. He was finally here to get her and teach these people some really good lessons so next time they would never mess with her.
They got to the ball room and she met his gaze even smiling invitingly, but the beast did not return her smile.
What is wrong with him? Why is he looking at her that way? Is he not here to save her from this old man?
The smile on her face fell at that point.
He was different this is not her Liam, he doesn't let anyone close to her not to think of holding her the way Brietbart did.
"Uncle Bart, you never told me you were getting married?" His eyes never left hers but the warmth that always came with his stare was gone.
The love that graced those black eyes were all gone, leaving an empty cold place. Was he alright? What has happened to Liam? She thought.
Liam seemed so different, it felt like he was a stranger, like something else has taken over his body that he no longer recognize her. "This is my wife Liam!" Breitbart said for the man to grit his teeth. It annoyed him the man was claiming her to be his. But why was he feeling this way towards this little woman?
What was she doing to him? Why did he suddenly fell like killing his uncle? He took in fresh air to calm down a bit, but he was not getting calm. The sorrow in her eyes triggered something in him, something that felt like protecting her, something that wanted to keep her safe.
This is the first woman able to bring out this hidden emotions inside of him, that made him doubt this was the first time he was seeing her. For the first time in his life, the almighty Mr Black was out of control. He noticed the tear drops from the corners of her eyes which she quickly caught still staring at him.
No.... He can't feel this way towards a woman, she was a mere woman like the rest. There's no way his stupid heart would beat rapidly for this woman, whose eyes had trapped him into an unexplainable cage. She's caged his heart, making herself the only visible thing in his eyes.
For f**ks sake she's meant to be his uncle's Wife, it was wrong to steal from the old man or forcefully take what belongs to him, cause at this point all Liam wanted was to grab the little woman and keep her all for himself.
"Hmm, good luck uncle!" He walked away taking the grand stairs to his room. Elsa's heart shattered at his action, she still haven't figured out yet what was wrong with Liam, and why he acted that way towards her. Was he no longer interested in her? She was getting married of goodness sake, isn't that a problem to him?
"Congratulations Mt Brietbart!" A woman congratulated them and after her was many more. Elsa's head was clouded by Liam, she wanted to know why he acted like he didn't know her, she wanted to hear it from him that he was no longer interested in her and that she could move on with her life.
She held herself from crying before the guest in the room, so no one suspects a thing. She loved Liam so much and it hurts seeing him act that way. She's never known him as a coward and if he's tired of her, he could just say it, she would understand and move on instead of hurting her this much.
.
The party was finally over, and Elsa and Brietbart made sure to see all the guest out before heading back to their room. "Are you alright Love?" He had to ask. He was no fool not to notice the sad expression on her face since she met his nephew, and it angered Brietbart to see her this way. He didn't want to take their reaction towards each other personally, but he hoped his little wife was not developing some kind of feelings towards his nephew.
He felt jealous of Liam already, the man got what he hasn't been able to get in just seconds of his arrival. "I'm fine, I just need some rest." He nodded at her words and escorted her to her room. "Sleep tight my love." Kissing her on her fore head, Brietbart watched her step into her room and he left.
Elsa didn't know whether to tell the man about who she is, before matters get worst, but she was scared, especially now Liam was acting like he didn't know who she was. She was scared he would reject her before Brietbart, making Ng it seem like she's the whore chasing after him.
Let's not all forget the man bought her with his money.
She stepped out of her room after thirty minutes, and all she wanted to do right now was to talk to Liam, he had to explain why he's suddenly acting wierd and strange around her. She wanted to know, she had to know. Her little feet paddled through the hallways quietly, searching for the man her heart longed for.
Liam cannot make her fall so madly in love with him, only for him to act like he doesn't know who she is anymore. She stood before the guest room and twisted the door knob quietly in the hope to find him in here.
On twisting the door knob to the dark room, the scent of vanilla, lavender and lemon waft through the air and she knew this was his room. This was the scent she love the most, she feels safe each time she inhales these scents.
She stepped into the dark room which held the dark man quietly and Liam smiled. Just the person his heart was aching for, he didn't know why his senses danced to her presence here. The beast in him screamed for her, they wanted her the same way he wanted her. His body, soul and spirit wanted this one woman.
Before Elsa knew what was happening she felt her back touch the surface of his bed and she gasp. The light were turned on immediately and the face of the beast came to view. It was really Liam in flesh and blood, his black alluring eyes stared at her but instead of love, the gave something else. Something that wants, lust.
Lust were in his eyes for his little wife. He wanted her and he didn't think he could hold himself any longer. "What are you doing Liam." He heard her tiny voice, the one that did something to his brain. The voice that calms the storm in him.....
"You should be with Brietbart, what are you doing In my room Elsa?" She frowned. If Liam was trying to joke with her, then it was totally not funny anymore. She's waited for months for him to return, enduring all the pain his family member and hers had put her through to this point and here he is think everything was a joke.
She wanted to know if she's offended him in anyway to trigger this actions from him. "I'm sorry if I did something wrong Liam, it's not my fault I ended up here, I was sold to a slave establishment." She sobbed lightly for Liam to raise a brow.

Tiger got out of his car, he was furious from his failed search. They had agree on sending the man away so they could find his wife before he does, the physician back at that city had said Liam's amnesia was not that deep, all he needed was something serious to trigger that memory out. They knew seeing his wife again would bring their boss back, but the question now was where to find the girl.
"If she's not in this city, then she's definitely in another." Tiger announced.
