Chapter 15 Liam’s Eight Wife?

Liam Collins having the hawk-like observation understood in a glance. As a man of few words he lived up to his name. Keeping his composure, he simply gave little response to his father-in-law’s obvious enthusiasm. He doesn't want to fan their selfish flames.

In contrast to his reaction towards them, it was a straight-line unusual towards Ileana. The usual coldness and disgust was no more.

He even initiated a very smitten gesture to her. Walking up to her, wrapping his arm around her small waist.

He looked intently at her and said gently, “Wifey, let’s go on in!”

Ileana, who didn’t expect him to act this well, was stupefied. The extraordinary grandeur show put up by him was extremely commendable.

“Alright, honey,” she smiled at him.

It was a weak smile, because Ileana was not used to his warm and gentle side at all.

Her small back where Liam’s hand was placed, stiffened. He understood her discomfort, smiled gently, and immediately held her hand.

Ileana was amazed at the man standing beside her tall and mighty yet gentle and understanding.

The moment their fingers intertwined, Ileana’s heart started pounding. She was nervous visiting Tyler and the Grammys performance by Liam added an extra layer. She could even hear her own thumping in her ears.

Initially, she had never imagined Liam to comply so well, willingly with her request. As he was difficult to deal with on a normal basis, worrying was natural.

His gentle approach, smitten eyes, misty smile were enough to shoot her targets. The Tyler couple had never imagined that he would be the violent demon. He was far from that degree and his acting was par excellence.

Ileana and Liam both walked in with conjoined hands till the living room. Settling on the couch, Liam loosened his grasp, then Ileana realized her palm had sweat. It was simply her nervousness because of being too worried.

She didn’t want Didem to get a chance to humiliate her after noticing. Liam’s acting skills have saved her far from the trouble.

Soon the servants filled the table up with delicacies.

Graham offered Liam, “Have some tea! It’s specially made for you.”

He was speaking hastily. In comparison to Collins, Tyler’s were far below in business status.

If his whole life achievements were even compared, he would stand nowhere in front of Collins.

He was humble and served tea with both hands, because it was indigestible news for him. Liam Collins was now his son-in-law and he was being the host.

“Sister and brother-in-law, Welcome home!”

Kylie, who had always borne grudges against her, was calling her “sister”. Indeed, the day was special or the sun rose from the west.

Ileana smiled and asked, “How have you been lately?”

“Ever since you got married, I have had nothing to do. I get bored easily.”

Kylie said with a sullen face.

Ileana knew very well the hidden face behind that caring. She pursed her lips without saying anything.

Kylie shamelessly continued her acting and said, “Come let’s go elsewhere, I have a lot to share with you.”

She grasped Ileana’s arm like the koala clinging on the bamboo. Then glanced at Liam intimately and asked, “Can I borrow my sister from you?”

Liam just nodded slightly and they left the living room.

Soon Ileana and Kylie were in the back garden, where people hardly visit.

Kylie’s facade was dropped and she plunged back to her real self.

She interrogated with rudeness, using the usual way of mockery.

“My goodness! Look at you, now you want to act so high and mighty? What spell have you casted on him like your mother? The publicly known demon is even spun around your fingers. Show or teach some of your capabilities to me as well.”

Ileana knew well that she was provoking her. But when you become pro in dealing with morons, then cool and calm anyhow stays.

She explained to Kylie, “First, I’m not capable unlike you. Second, I did nothing to spin him around me. Third, the public domain rumors are really baseless. Liam really treats women so well. As you can witness already. Fourth, are you regretting that you lost your chance?”

She smiled sarcastically which riled up Kylie.

Though she denied it, Ileana could see very well in her eyes.

She then spat angrily at Ileana’s words, “You are lying, Ileana! If he is that capable, why did he get divorced in the past?”

“Well… Divorce doesn’t mean that a man is at fault. The status and family he belongs to, women simply want to dig. Once their intentions were revealed, divorced was enforceable effectively.”

Ileana’s defendant's words were clear and apt. She effortlessly built the tarnished image of Liam in Kylie’s eyes as a skyscraper.

“Ahan I see… What would happen if he found out your true intentions? Would it end like the other marriages?”

Kylie spoke with pure sarcasm and mockery but was secretly dying to know.

“Well, are you eager to be his eighth wife? Or do you want me to get abandoned by him?”

Ileana tilted her head, and replied with the same intensity of sarcasm.

She was not the hysterical type neither losing control nor overthinking. Unlike Kylie, who always screams or yells in such situations.

But every word she spoke was like a double edged sword. It was cutting through Kylie’s every piece of flesh. The wounded Chiron has got the chance to simply reveal her valor.

“No… don’t slander like that, Ileana!”

With all her might Kylie denied all the allegations of Ileana. But a long time back, Ileana had already read her mind, even saw through her lies too.

“Glad to know!” Ileana smirked actually.

Kylie’s denial was self-sabotaging only and nothing else.

Before leaving Ileana, dropped another bomb at Kylie’s heart.

“Let me remind you, Liam would never fall for a woman like you!”

She turned around and exited the area.

Leaving behind injured Kylie standing in anger.

She had always humiliated others, but had never eaten the medicine.

Today, Ileana let her taste it, after which she felt like her world crumbled down, plummeting her into intense devastation.

“Arghhhhh….Just wait and watch, Ileana!” she screamed in frustration.
