Chapter 360: Who Are You?
Liam arrived home a little late and Lana personally prepared his dinner since he had a busy day and her husband had not eaten yet. She watched him take his food as she sat opposite him at the dining table.
She sighed because her husband looked so tired. He went to the police station to see and check the said culprit who confessed to everything.
She did not ask him, or talk to him as he ate. She just watched him lovingly till he finally finished his dinner.
"Love, I wonder if I will get indigestion with how you stare at me."
Lana chuckled and said, "Nah, you will have good digestion since it's a stare full of love."
"Awww…Our baby is doing a great job in enhancing your mood. Look how sweeter you have become." Liam muttered, blushing.
Lana laughed and teased him for his blushing face.
"I did not know men can also blush like that?" she teased and Liam pursed his lips.
Lana stood up from her chair and walked towards him to sit on his lap.
"Am I heavy already?" she asked with a glare, seeing how Liam's face crinkled.
Liam intentionally did that and with a grin replied, "It doesn't matter I will still carry you and you can always sit on me or be on top whenever you want regardless of your weight because my love for you is immeasurable."
Lana laughed loudly and snorted, "Oh crap, let's stop this exchange of lovely words. Too sweet…"
Liam pouted his lips and mumbled, "But you started this and I just wanted to return your declaration of love…"
Lana flicked his nose with her finger and said, "It's because you were looking so exhausted and I wanted you to feel better. Seeing your gloomy expressions I could tell what happened at the police station was not good."
Liam released some air first before answering, "Yeah, the man is obviously telling lies but the case will be closed since he has enough proofs about him being the culprit."
He explained everything to Lana about how that man had created this story. He told the police that he was obsessed with Rio Tang and was a die-hard fan of her who loved her so much and was mad about her and wanted to take revenge because Rio told him that she was depressed because of Liam and Lana. The man was stalking Rio for a while now, so he knew all her whereabouts.
"What if he is really the one responsible?" Lana commented.
Liam sighed again heavily and said, "Yeah could be, but yet my hunch is telling that he could be just an accomplice, just an accessory, and a possible scapegoat for someone, Lana. The man did really do the work, but he's just a puppet in someone's hands…"
"How can you be so sure?" Lana pondered. If Liam was right, then this could be an alarming and very dangerous situation for them both. But who could it be? She did not know anyone who had any grudges against them except for one person.
"I am not sure as well, love. That is why I have still tasked the team to check everything thoroughly. It's just a hunch, but usually, I don't ignore this kind of hunch of mine, especially when people I love are involved. You have to take extra precautionary measures from now on love. Tight security… And you must stay beside me as much as possible." Liam reminded her and Lana nodded.
"Do you think it could be Gracy?" Lana could not help but voice out.
Liam's face darkened because it was only Gracy who had that huge grudge against them and could also be another person who loved messing people's lives, Lana's father…
And yet again, everything was just speculation for now.
"I have already instructed someone to check on Gracy. I will update you in case I hear any news about it, love." Liam whispered with another sigh.
Lana could feel her husband's distress, so she hugged him lovingly and tightly. She gently stroked his back and said, "I'm sure this is nothing. As long as we're together… We can surpass everything. Please don't stress too much about it. I want you to relax whenever we are together at home, in our safe haven."
Liam buried his face in the crook of Lana's neck, inhaling her natural scent, that drew him to her first and he loved so much.
"You're sniffing me again," Lana teased, giggling.
Liam chuckled and whispered, "Yeah, your scent is more relaxing than the aromatherapy diffuser Mian had been putting inside the office."
"Come now and I will help you freshen up. A good massage will give you a good night's sleep," Lana whispered and pulled Liam towards their bedroom.
*****
At a dark alley in the suburbs of Capital City, a person in a hoodie was eating some corn-dog while walking when an old man passed by and stabbed that person unexpectedly.
"This is for messing up with the wrong people… Kid, do you think I will let you live or allow you to die?" The man whispered in that person's ear before pushing the knife deeper. The person with a hoodie tried to struggle, but the old man was strong.
A scornful and evil chuckle came out from his mouth as he said, "I'm the only one who is allowed to bully those people, so I hope this serves as a warning… One wrong move and I will slit your throat, kid."
"Who are you?" with a stuttering voice the person in the hoodie managed to ask.
"Me? I'm everyone's worst nightmare kid. And I believe you must have learned your lesson now." The old man whispered as he swirled the stabbed knife in that body slowly, making the person in the hoodie growl in immense pain.
"This is your first warning… I'll be lenient with you since no harm has been done with what you did. Now go back to your den and don't dare repeat the same mistake again." The old man instructed as he pushed the person in the hoodie and wiped the blood on his knife with his thumb before he licked and tasted it.
"Tsk…" he clicked his tongue as he watched the person in the hoodie crawl away at the speed of lightning from him.
He shook his head as he turned around to walk back to his car while scoffing, "Idiot…"
