They arrived at their destination. Liam brought her and Sarah to his mansion. They all alight from the car after the long silent drive. Heemani holds Sarah's hand like they were a newlywed couple, "Where are we?" Heemani asked curiously, her eyes wandering around "
I won't kill you," Liam said and leads the way to the mansion, Alfred followed him behind.
Beads of sweat formed on Heemani's forehead, she looks worried, and she deeply regretted approaching him.
In her mind, she vowed never to cross his part once she get over the problem she puts herself in. "Let go, if he wanted to kill us, he won't bring us here" Sarah assured and dragged her along.
"I hope I don't regret this," she prayed silently.
Liam brought them to his relaxing mansion, a place that he rarely visits.
The big mansion reminds Heemani of the kind of lifestyle she lives as a kid, tears rolled down her eyes, and she quickly wipe them off before anyone noticed.
They arrive at the living room, Liam sat down as King of the Mafia, and his assistant stands beside him.
Heemani sat on the cold marble floor, Sarah looked at her, and Heemani signal her to also sit on the floor, Sarah sat beside her bestie.
"And why are you sitting on the floor?" he asked coldly.
The two quickly stand up from "We are so sorry" they apologize.
"Sit down on the floor, since that's what you want" he smirked.
Alfred knew his boss isn't the type that was interested in any lady "Why is he messing with the lady?" he thought.
They sat on the cold marble floor back, after some minutes of silence, Heemani voiced out "We followed you here to beg, what can I do for you to let go of my mistakes".
In the middle of the tense moment, her phone ranged, "Your boyfriend is calling, pick up and I will never accept your apologies" he threatens her.
Heemani checked her phone to see who was calling her, her brother was the one calling, she has never ignored his call before but because of this evil snake, she had to.
Sarah was a very outspoken lady, it was so strange seeing her so gentle like a dove. A butler arrived "Food is ready" he bowed respectfully.
Liam stands up from the couch, and Alfred followed him. She and her friend sat on the same spot. Liam turned back,
"Why are you two still there, follow me, I need to feed you before I take the life out of you," he said coldly. They both stand up from the floor and followed him to the dining room like obedient servants.
Varieties of food were on the dining table, Heemani remember how she and her family use to dine and wine, it had been a long since she experienced a feast like this, and she couldn't control her emotions. She burst into tears of sadness
Sarah gazed at her surprisingly "What's wrong? are you okay?" Sarah asked looking worried.
"We have to do as he wants to be free from him" Sarah whispered to her.
Liam looked pissed, he hate seeing drops of tears
"Crispy Chicken, don't you have any table manners, crying for what? I guess you haven't seen any of this food, you can't afford it, what a low life " he sneered.
"Boss, that's too much" Alfred whispers to him, he wasn't supposed to talk to his boss that way but he did for her sake.
Heemani had anger issues, she couldn't take insult much from people no matter who it was. She would put them in their place before thinking about the consequences.
She stand up from her seat, and picked up a glass of juice, she aggressively pours it all over his face.
Their jaw dropped on the marble floor. "My name isn't Crispy chicken, I have a fucking name," she said angrily.
"I have table manners, I know all the rules of a lady with blue blood, I have seen and eaten more than enough of all this shit you called food, you think I came here to eat, I didn't even touch the food, I came here to apologize I don't want to have anything to do with the wealthy one because you are all dirty and ready to kill because of power, you all disgust me," she said angrily in one breath.
She points at Alfred "Including you, you are all the same" she left the dining room.
Sarah was in shock, she stand up in haste and bowed "I am very sorry sir, she bowed and ran out.
Liam didn't move an inch, he was trying to comprehend what just happened to him, Alfred handed over a handkerchief to his boss "I am very sorry sir" Alfred apologized.
Liam stands up "What you apologizing for, that hypocrisy," he said and left the dining room.
"Heemani! Heemani! Heemani!" Sarah shouted her name and walked towards her, she was standing outside to clear her mind.
"Heemani, what is wrong with you?" Sarah asked in a frustrated tone. "Did you even have an idea of who that guy is, it's just like going from frying pan to fire. Why can't you control your anger?" Sarah scolded her.
"What are you crying for? Are you sacred he poisoned the food?" she asked thinking of what could make her cry.
"He was nice enough to invite us to his dining and yet you bath him with juice, you are unbelievable"
Heemani felt guilty "I didn't mean to react that way but he is just so annoying must he look down on everybody because he is wealthy," she said in frustration. She regretted her actions.
"So what if he looked down on you, it's nothing, we could have just apologized and left in peace, but thanks to you we are in trouble" Sarah praised her sarcastically.
"I am sorry Sarah," she said with a puppy eye.
"You should apologize to the CEO, not me," Sarah said.
Liam arrives outside, he heads straight to meet the two friends, he interrupts their conversation, he drags Heemani's hand roughly "Follow me" he said coldly.
He gave Sarah a deadly stare "If you want her alive, don't dare to move an inch" he threatened her. Sarah didn't dare move from where she was, the aura around Liam was intimidating.
He drags Heemani to the courtyard "Let me go" she protests.
He slams her slender gently on the wall, his hand on her tiny waist, he moves closer to her, their nose almost touching. She protests but he was stronger than her "Let go of me" she said in a disapproving tone. The more she protested the more he enjoyed holding her tightly.
"You are such a naughty brat! The audacity to bath me with the juice is alarming, you are just one of the women seeking my attention" he said in a cold tone.
"You want to devour me on the bed, just like every other lady, I would have laid with you but I have class, attention seeker!" He said with a hint of sarcasm.
She could smell the juice she poured on him earlier, she gazed at him in frustration, she doesn't want trouble but he kept pushing her to the edge "I would rather jump in the swimming pool than get laid with you" she said, her eyes focused on the swimming pool not far from the courtyard.
Liam smirked "That is a very good idea," he said and let go of her. She hadn't spent a whole day with him but she knew he was a manipulator, he would use your words against you.
"What are you planning to do with me?" She questioned.
He smirked "Be patient, attention seeker" he said and held her hand dragging her towards the pool without giving her the chance to process what was going on.
"W..what a.are y..you p..planning to do?" She stutter.
After dragging her to the swimming pool, he let go of her hand. He pushed in inside the swimming pool "Swim like a mermaid" he smirked.
It happened so fast, that before she could scream for help, she had landed inside the pool. She didn't get the chance to beg him and tell him that she couldn't swim.
Liam was expecting her to swim up instead she was drowning "Come up attention seeker, stop acting like you can't swim, this isn't a novel where the ML love interest character jumped inside the pool to save her, I don't fit in such fantasy," he said loud and clear for her to hear
It took a while for him to realize she can't swim, he frowned "She can't do anything than to cause trouble, useless attention seeker, I won't let you die in my pool, I don't want your dead body to contaminate the pool" he said and jumped in the swimming pool.
