"Your results are in sir"The doctor said with a smile adjusting his white coat as he gave Liam the papers in hand.
Liam took the papers and his eyes scanned the content written on it,it was the same result he has gotten from the other five doctors he visited.
"You're perfectly fine sir"The doctor assured with a smile.
But Liam was unsatisfied with the results.
How could he be fine when all that had been on his mind was a woman? How could he be fine when he made her lose her job and have his account officer transfer half a million to her? How could he find when he had Louise,his trusted body guard follow her around,monitoring her every move?
This was very unusual of him. There had to be something wrong with him
He always saw women as puns for pleasure and nothing more but Andrea was different.
For some odd reason;he still couldn't understand,why he wanted her so badly.
A beep came from his pocket,snapping him out of his thoughts.
A wide smile appeared on his face when he saw who the caller was.
"Sir,she just entered one of your boutiques,El qumn "Louise voice sounded through the phone.
Liam's boutique,El qunm,was a collection of rare fabrics and materials obtained from all over the world,used to make female clothing.
He bought the boutique in loving memories of his mother,he remembered how she always dressed nicely to every small occasion.
If only she was alive to see how much he has accomplished.
A lump of sadness started forming in his throat as he tried to focus on the information Louise just gave him.
The least expensive dress in his boutique cost nothing less than 700 dollars,Andrea couldn't afford that,so why was she there?
What is his feisty princess up to now?. Liam wondered
"Make sure she is safe"Liam instructed as he dropped the phone to see a smiling man with a white coat in front of him.
"How much did the test cost?"Liam asked,ignoring the doctor's smiling face and excited eyes that were scanning him.
"It's totally free for you,my wife and daughter talks about you all the time and now,I see why.may I've your autograph?"the doctor asked bringing out a pen and small note from his white coat
Liam is no celebrity but he was use to females screaming his name and men asking for autograph and advice tips on how to be successful.
He hated the attention,he can't move freely without people noticing who he is.
With an eye roll,he took the note pad and signed his name in big bold letters earning himself a big smile from the doctor.
He stood up from his chair about to leave when his eyes wandered around the doctor's office
The doctor's words played in his head. "It's totally free for you"
For a doctor who runs test in a prestigious hospital,his office looks quite shabby. The white paint was fading right off the walls,sun light peeking through the white transparent curtains,the wooden chair in front of him looked like it had been standing there for too long,the brown was fading into lighter shades of brown.
He had been so lost in his thoughts,he didn't notice.
His eyes went back to the doctor who looked to be in his early fifties;his gray eyes were dull,his skin a bit pale and his thin frame made Liam wonder how much the hospital pays because he has never seen a doctor look so unhealthy.
"Is there anything else,you would like me to do for you sir?" The doctor asked,smiling brightly at Liam.
"Yes"Liam replied simply bringing out a bundle of money from his pocket,he always carried a few hundred dollar notes with him,in case of emergencies like this.
The doctor's eyes widened at the money placed on the table.
"Buy your wife and daughter something nice"with that said,Liam walked out of his office,sending a quick text to Louise asking about Andrea's whereabouts.
The doctor tried to call after him but Liam didn't have the time or patience to have another conversation so he ignored the doctors calls as he walked faster to his car,ignoring the ladies that winked and tried to stop him.
He had a meeting with Mr Robbin Vince,The founder of V corps and he couldn't afford to be late.
The meeting was being held in his bar,Walt's bar,he had it shut down for the purpose of the meeting,he didn't want any disturbances.
His car swept in front of the bar,tossing his keys to one of the bouncers as he hastily made his way inside.
Once inside,his eyes searched through the seats for Mr Vince but instead he saw a lady who looked to be in her early twenties staring at him with a wide smile.
Behind her stood two broad chested men.
He once had a meeting with mr Vince to discuss investing in his bar and being his partner but that didn't work out.
The last he remembers,mr Vince is a man in his late sixties,blue eyes accompanied with gray hair not a lady with long legs and black hair.
Confusion etched his feature as he wondered who the lady could be.
As if,she could hear his thoughts,she walked towards him,her long legs eating the distance.
"It's an honor to meet you,Liam Walton"she smiled widely,pulling Liam into a hug,her tiny hands squeezing his sides as her floral scent filled his nostrils
Liam didn't know how to react to the hug so he just stood still until she disengaged from the hug.
"I'm Luciana Vince,daughter of Robbin Vince"she introduced stretching her hand for a shake.
Liam took her hand,anger flowing through his veins but he didn't let her see it,that was one of his many talents,his insides could be burning but his facial features will be relaxed looking unbothered.
He spoke to mr Vince this morning and he didn't mention anything about his daughter attending the meeting instead of him.
Liam have never had any female business partner before,his reasons are because women are too emotional,they always let their feelings cloud their judgement and he didn't like getting opinions from a woman,it didn't seat right with him so he tried as much as possible to avoid female business partners but he couldn't cancel this deal,it was too important to him.
"We should take our seats"Liam offered,walking towards the chairs the men were standing behind.
With a smile,Luciana took a seat next to Liam.
"Leave us"she commanded,her tone firm.
The men exited the room without a word
"What would you like to drink?"Liam asked walking towards the bar
"I didn't come here for a drink Liam,I'm here for business"Luciana said,pulling a loose strand of hair to the back of her ear as her brown puppy like eyes continued to stare at him.
With the way she eyed him,he was expecting a bit chit chat but he likes that she isn't in for that.
"My company,Waltz limited is lacking shares and we haven't been able to bag a multimillion dollar deal in months,I fear that if it continues like this,I would've to shut the company down"
Waltz limited,was one of the companies,Liam stupidly entrusted his brother,Lucas with,he made Lucas,manager and he dug his company straight into the ground,in the sperm of two months.
Liam haven't been able to recover the company's lost ever since.
Liam owns a lot of companies but this was the one company,he started in loving memories of his mother and he couldn't watch it collapse.
"My father told me all about your company,we were once in competition"Luciana said simply,fighting the urge to keep her eyes to herself.
The man seated right next to her,Liam Walton,was everything she had ever dreamt of.
She never thought she would be gifted such an opportunity to even talk business with him.
She was beyond happy when her sick father told her about meeting up with Liam.
The thing is that,her father; the famous Robbin Vince is sick with Leukemia, (cancer of the blood)and has only few more weeks to live.
As the only daughter,she would be inheriting all his companies and shares and she would use that to trap Liam.
Luciana knew men like Liam Walton,they only cared about money and power and she would give him that and more but if he only agrees to be hers.
"Yes,V corps have won a lot of awards over the years and I'll like to bring up a partnership that would benefit us all"Liam spoke smoothly,his voice firm,getting irritated with the way Luciana's eyes kept roaming his body.
"Which is?"Luciana asked,acting interested.
Luciana was never a fan of politics or companies issues,she only cared about the profits she could derive for them and besides,when her father pass,she was planning to hand over the care of her father companies in the hands of her best friend,Amy,who studied business administration back in college.
But after her father told her about today,she came up with a different plan to ensure she never loses her grip on the handsome man seated right in front of her.
As she watched his lips move,she couldn't help but wonder what his lips would taste like.
Hugging him briefly already had an effect on her,she wondered what dark desires kissing him would unlock.
"As you may already know,my company was once one of the best in the states,all I need is a strong partnership,to get me back on my feet and the profits will be shared equally,ensuring everyone gets a fair share and I couldn't think of having a better partner than V corps"
"My father will pass away in a few days from now"Luciana informed leaving Liam speechless.
Liam knows what it feels like to lose a parent,it's a horrible feeling but Luciana didn't look sad in fact there wasn't any form of sadness in her voice,it's almost as if she was happy about it,it's either that or she's just really good at hiding her emotions.
"Do you know what that means?"Luciana asked,a small smile etched on her lips,her red lip sticking cracking,just like his patience.
"No"
She stood up from where she was seated,using her long fingers to trace the collar of Liam's suit as she whispered into his ear.
"It means you get the company all to your self"
Uncomfortable was an understatement for what Liam was feeling at the moment but he really needed to seal the deal,even though if it means playing Lucian's little game.
Luciana traced her fingers further down his suit,stopping on his stomach as she intensively started a him,as if asking for permission when she got nothing,she was forced to withdraw.
Anger cursed through her veins as a sting of pain pierced her heart.
Liam didn't want her,he didn't look at her the way other men did.
Luciana was a beautiful woman with a thin figure and a curvy body. Her deep blue eyes and raven black hair has brought her more than enough admirers.
She was often told she had the face of a doll,a face that could instantly make a man go weak in his kneels but it seems none of that applies to Liam because he looked uninterested as ever.
But she won't let that stop her. She is Luciana Vince and Luciana Vince always gets what she wants,no matter how,out of reach it might seem.
"How so?"he asked,his mask starting to fade as his eyes held a glim of irritation.
Liam Walton never mixes business with pleasure. Another reason why he doesn't have female associates.
"As you know,my father owns houses and companies and I'm his only daughter,think about it" Luciana said trying to hint Liam but he didn't seem to be getting the message as his face appeared more confused than before.
"I'm making a proposal Liam Walton. All that could be yours in a blink of an eye,you won't be a billionaire,you would be a freaking Nrillionaire"Luciana blurted,her voice echoing in Liam's ear.
This was everything Liam have ever dreamt of and more,he would obtain power from all the wealth and bring back the case of his mother which the police discharged.
He would make those men beg for death but he won't give it to them.
"What's in it for you?" Liam asked,narrowing his eyes towards Luciana.
There had to be something Luciana would benefit from this.
Liam is very well familiar with spoilt,over pampered,over privileged,girls like Luciana and he knows for a fact that for her to offer all her wealth to him,there has to be something huge in it for her.
A wicked smile appeared on Luciana's heart shaped lips,her hand reaching for Liam's beards
"I want you Liam,I want to wake up everyday and see you next to me,I want to go on dinner dates with you,I want to hold your hand,cuddle you,come back home to to see you,I hate politics talk but I want to talk about it with you.I need you Liam"Luciana confessed,her eyes brimming with desperation.
Liam has heard a lot of confessions of love but there was something about hers that made him believe her.
Most of the women he had used to pleasure himself always wanted more from him but that was because if his wealth,he could tell that if he had nothing,they would just be mere admirers of his looks.
Liam couldn't give Luciana what she wanted,he was a broken man who had commitment issues and he never mix business with pleasure but the offer kept ringing in his head.
"You don't have to give me an answer right away,you've a month to think about it"
"Are you asking me to marry you?"
"You don't have to truly love me,you just have to pretend even if it's not real,please Liam,I'm sacrificing so much for you"
Just how desperate was she?
"And the public what would they say?"
Liam knew the public all to well,he would be painted bad,if word got out that he's getting married to Vince's daughter after his death.
"My father still have a few day,weeks even,we could go public on our socials"Luciana suggested,her eyes glimmering with hope.
"This is an o…"
Liam's voice was cut off by the ring coming from his pocket.
He knew it was Louise so he immediately picked the call
"Speak"Liam commanded Impatiently
"Miss is in the French restaurant,dinning with your brother"
