As soon as Clyde left, Lana focussed at the files Liam left for her.
"She looks so innocent. Someone with such innocent eyes would not do such a crime, " Lana whispered as she watched Gale's interview.
But she was aware that looks could be misleading. Lana has learned this lesson in her life, not to judge the outer appearance of any person, because no one could ever read what was going inside the mind of the other.
The accused woman looked totally devastated, and her pure white wedding dress was full of bloodstains.
She kept screaming and saying she did not know what and how everything happened, in her statement she said that she had lost consciousness somehow and later when she woke up, there was a knife in her hand with her husband beside her completely drowned in his own blood.
"A wedding turned into a nightmare. Liam would have a real hard time getting evidence in her favour." Lana murmured. Liam strongly said that evidence was all well fabricated.
"How the hell is he going to win this case?" Lana mumbled before stretching her back and neck. Wherever she looked, all forensics, all evidence, everything pointed towards one direction. It was just a hopeless case.
Whoever had planned this had done a very meticulous job and had fabricated everything with complete knowledge of the deceased and his entire life and household, definitely he had it all planned very well. Loopholes... Where were they?
Lana went back to all the testimonies while she closed her mind and pictured everything happening in her mind... again and again she replayed the entire scene in her mind and closed her eyes to look for something if they needed to pay their attention at.
Lana was trying to figure out what and how to proceed to find some clue in their favour when she was jolted by the ringing of her phone, breaking the train of her thoughts and diverting her concentration.
"Tsk!" Lana hissed and grabbed her mobile phone. Her lips pursed seeing the caller ID..
"What does he want now?"
"Yes?" Lana asked Liam.
"Did you see the files? Or are you still busy with your visitor?" Lana's eyebrows arched because she could read the sarcasm in the words spoken by Liam.
'What? Am I a student whose parents are checking if she's doing her assignment or not?'
She felt like hitting that sarcastic ice statue with a heavy stick and brought his brain back to normal. Still she tried to calm her mind down and replied in a normal tone
"Yeah... I'm going over it now so don't worry. I will make sure that I will memorize every detail and store it in my brain." Lana chimed in.
"Good." Liam answered. 𝚏𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘄𝑒𝗯𝗻ov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
"Is that all?" Lana asked.
"About tomorrow. My father would like you to come over at lunch time and stay until dinner, that is if you're available." Liam continued.
Lana paused for a while, but a grin suddenly appeared on her face thinking how Liam used her mom that night to trouble her.
'Revenge time boss!' the little devil in Lana couldn't help but rejoice at that opportunity.
"Sure, I'll be ready before lunch then. Is that all?" she asked plainly, hiding her happiness.
"Yeah..." Liam muttered and ended the call.
Liam was having a very difficult time back in his office and was in a life threatening dilemma.
Wherever he looked in his office, all he could see was Lana, sometimes standing by his desk looking at him sensually, sometimes sitting in front of him trying to provoke him with her seductive actions and worst still when he looked towards her sitting area he saw Lana standing in her underwear making sexy poses and calling him towards her.
Liam had never felt so hot in his life before. Even after he loosened his tie and took off his coat and jacket, he was not able to focus on his work and his throat was dry after every few minutes.
"Oh... What the hell is wrong with me? I think I'm going crazy!" he felt afraid of his own mind and worried what if he ended up doing something weird in front of Lana!
He had been behaving strangely already in her radius and didn't know how to stop his astray going brain. He cursed before washing his face with his palm.
It was all Jorge's fault for putting Lana in that area, without even mentioning to her about that one way glass that put him through a difficult position.
Just when Liam was fighting himself in his office, Jorge entered there.
"What happened? Are you unwell? Why is your face so red and hot?" Jorge asked, noticing Liam's weird looks.
Liam shot a glance at him and erupted all his anger on him, "It's all because of you."
Speaking anything further could incense Jorge's curiosity to a higher level. Hence, Liam left all other things as they were and just closed his eyes in annoyance.
Jorge on the other hand had some idea of his annoyance. He grinned at the thought of firing back at Liam whenever he could since he had a wild card in his hands against him. Peeking at Lana in an ambiguous situation from the one way glass.
'Hahahaha. ' Jorge inwardly laughed.
"I just heard something interesting from a friend. She also had attended yesterday's party and told me that the woman's lips, you were with last night, probably must be swelling now. Is that true, bro? How long did you both kiss for? Was it passionate? Did she respond to you back with the same fiery passion or were you dominating her? I guess we are now finally ready to delete the hatred towards women attitude from your personality description. I will say that it's not woman hating but just late blooming?" Jorge fired at Liam with that amusing grin and flickering eyes directly at Liam.
"How about you get a woman first Jorge, so that you stop spurting nonsense every now and then?" Liam barked that made Jorge brows raised as he comfortably sat on the couch.
"I guess you are still in denial. I believe that you and Lana are destined to be together. Clashing together. I must say, you're both such a perfect match to each other. I wonder who would dare lose pride first and dare to be truthful in one's feelings?" Jorge teased, enjoying Liam's sour face.
"Maybe after you Jorge then, you scared brat..." Liam sarcastically muttered then he followed, "What happened to Miley? As far as I know, only Miley could make you run in haste, frantically, leaving all your jobs behind like that, I believe."
Liam asked Jorge all that, to make him stop teasing him, though he knew that it could be something petty only knowing his dear little sister. Actually, Miley just wanted to get Jorge's attention.
"Nothing important but broken heels. You know your sister, she loves to pester me around." Jorge plainly replied before asking, "What time are we leaving?" apparently to change the topic.
"We are leaving now." Liam muttered.
