Chapter 44

"Now... Let's work together to bring the beast down" Gary said and both Liam and his uncle agreed.

"But taking Robert down requires a smart plan" Mr. Leonard said.

"I agree with that" Gary said.

"So... In a nut shell what are you trying to say?" Liam asked.

"We don't have to give him any reason to suspect. So Gary you just have to go back there and act as if everything is fine. But you have to find his week point." Mr. Leonard explained.

"What about me?" Liam asked.

"Liam, focus on studies for now, You will soon play a part in this" Mr. Leonard said. Liam did not bother to ask any more questions because he knows that no matter what this stone of man won't tell him a thing until he feels its time. And even though he looked calm at that moment, he was still making his own secret plan.

....

In the evening, Cassandra was setting the dining table when someone knocked at the door.

"Liam...?" Cassandra said subconsciously when she opened the door. She was not expecting him.

"Hey love... Miss me?" Liam said with a smile. Gosh that smile of his that can make her brain melt into a paste. Cassandra froze when he called her love. The words he said last night rang in head throwing her in a dazed state.

Liam could only chuckle at her reaction. He found her extremely adorable at that moment. Liam snapped his fingers twice making her recovery from her dazed state.

"Uh...hmmm coming" Cassandra said immediately.

"Oh.. Liam..." Mr. Vincent said the moment Liam came into the house.

"Good evening" Liam greeted.

"Evening, I hope you are strong now?" Mr. Vincent replied.

"Sure... I couldn't even say a proper thank You... I'm sorry" Liam was some shy but he was really good at hiding it.

"It's ok... The good thing is you are strong" Mr. Vincent replied.

"Liam... How are you doing?" Amelia came in.

"I'm fine ma... Thank you so much for the other time" Liam replied.

"Oh... Dear it's nothing. Join us at the dining please" Amelia said. Liam wanted to decline but men... He has missed the delicious food in this house.

"Come on... Don't tell us you want to decline. It's a part of your appreciation" Mr. Vincent said when he noticed Liam being reluctant. Liam could only give in. After all he misses Amelia's food so badly.

They sat down and Cassandra served the food. It was jellof rice with fish, his favorite.

'Damn Liam... So this is what you would have been missing' Liam said inwardly.

After eating, they sat together and chatted for a while. Liam missed such moment so much.

"I have to get going" Liam said after a while.

"Ok... Don't forget that you are always free to visit." Amelia said.

"Greet everyone at home." Mr. Vincent added.

"Sure... Thank you" Liam said.

"I will... See him off" Cassandra was somehow nervous.

"Ok... But don't stay long" Amelia whispered to Cassandra and she nodded.

After silently walking for some minutes, Cassandra spoke.

"I think I have to go back home".

"Oh.. Can I get a hug?" Liam asked. And Cassandra hugged him.

"Thank You..." He whispered. When Cassandra pulled away, Liam held her hands, he just wish he could spend more time with her.

"Cassandra... I was serious when I said I love you yesterday" Liam said throwing Cassandra in a dazed state again. Not knowing what to do or say, she looked away.

His words rang in her head again and she found herself smiling. Liam froze at the sight of her lips curving into the sweet smile. He was trying so hard to hold himself back but her smile widened and Liam lost his sanity. So hr slammed his lips on her's making Cassandra immobile.
