Fourteen


ELARA'S POV

I couldn't get out of the shock that my father's company was given to Liam. I mean I'm not surprised but why would they do that? I even went to claim what is right and all they say was to settle with that FOOL!!!

I promised myself that I don't want to take too much unnecessary alcoholic drink. The drink was right in front of me and I don't know if I was breaking the promise.

"Whatever Liam must have done to these people, I will have to get them first before I can take what is mine." My heart rate began to beat fast.
The thoughts I had in my head were too heavy for me to think of.

"Where is she?" I could hear Victor's voice from a distance.

I don't know what was getting me mad but I am going mad.

"Elara... " Victor walked in breathing heavily like he was being pursued..

He barged into the sitting room, his eyes went around the room until he finally saw me.

"What's the matter?" I gather the strength to look up or be concerned.
I waited patiently for him to find me and when he did I got concerned, maybe he got a quick piece of information that was making him boil inside.

"I have been calling you and you didn't pick up. I thought maybe...." He shrugged, unable to complete his sentence.

He finally let out the reason for his madness.

"Yes, you thought I am about to kill myself? Well, if I could I would but I still have things to fight for, my kids, Liam, and now my father's company." I kept my eyes back down.

So that was the only reason that made him fly that way. I got back to thinking of what to do to Liam.

"Why are you looking that way?" His senses finally got calm and he walked closer to me.

I felt uncomfortable having him around now, I just wanted to be alone at this moment but I can't tell him to leave. That would be so rude of me.

"I don't know what to say exactly, I just want to have some time....." I paused, I swallowed hard and was careful of the words that came out of my mouth.

"I understand you have a lot of things going on in your mind but what is the matter this time? I thought we talked about this."

"Victor, this is about the company, MY parents company. It is handed over to Liam. Why would they do such a thing? I am the heir and the company belongs to me." I found myself venting to Victor.

He couldn't say a word, I mean what could he possibly say that would calm me down. I was full of rage and wanted to end everything at once. I just need to be just so I don't enter Liam's tarp.

"I understand how you feel..."

"No, you don't. You only try to relate so that you can give me comfort, but deep down you do not know.." Tears shimmered in my eyes.

I struggled to breathe .

"You need to calm down, you aren't fine enough to deal with these things. You are battling for too much, you need to calm down and go for it one after the other." He held my chest.

His hands shifted to my breast, that was unintentional but I was mad already. I took my hands away as I struggled for my breath.

I got up to gasp for air.

"I'm sorry about that." He apologized slowly.

"It's fine Victor, it's not your fault you were only trying to calm me down. Nothing more, is there anything you have to say about Liam today?" I asked him while trying to draw breath.

"Nothing. All I have to say is that you should be careful, trying to get everything at the same time will be dangerous for you as you will lose so much concentration." He clenched his hands and tried to do so and was so motivating.

"You do not know how this things pain me a lot that I wish I could develop some magic and kill everyone involved."

"That reminds me, Liam wants you dead, you have to be careful. He knows your motive and what you are capable of doing so he wouldn't want to let you be alive..." His face was pale.

"What's with the look on your face?"

"Just having pity, you know how Liam could be. He will definitely get whatever he wants when he wants when he wants it. Just like he did to your parents."

I bit my lower lip in anger, I know that he has looked at me to be some kind of less privileged that would come crawling to him to beg.

My heart was hardened, I had so much determination in me. I would go miles to do anything to get him back on his knees.

"I don't care what Liam thinks. I will do what I ought to do, if he wants me dead, he will get killed before me. You wouldn't let that happen, right?" I turned to look at Victor who was already lost in thoughts.

"Um...no, I wouldn't." He jerked up when I snapped him out of his thoughts.

"What is the matter?" I felt concerned for him even if that wasn't necessary.

"Nothing to worry about me, just thinking of what will happen to you while you are trying so hard to get Liam."

That sounded like a lie but I am not in his head and I do not know the things that are going on, so, I accept it the way it is.

"You don't have to worry about me, I have you, I have Sophia. Together you guys are going to help me bring him down. I don't want him to get this company." I held his hands.

Victor got an emergency call and left quickly, I got a lot of time to think of the thing I needed to work on.
