The Law of Attraction
chapter-306

At Plumeria Island

Lana finally set foot on the island. She hoped she could relax for a while and set aside her broken heart. They arrived past midnight and she slept her tired body.

In the morning, she attended the wedding ceremony of Xander's parents with Chad, but she and Chad went separate ways at the end of the ceremony.

The beach was calling her ever since she saw its serene beauty in the morning. She went back to the mansion where she stayed in a room arranged by Xander, away from the others, and excitedly prepared her things. She changed into her swim wear and topped it with a loose but comfortable sleeveless-backless dress.

As soon as she was done, she quickly ran to the beachfront for a dip.

"Ohhhh! This felt so good!" Lana gasped with refreshment while she dipped half of her body in the water. The clear blue crystal waters were very relaxing. She needed moments like these to clear her head .

After a while of enjoying the waters, Lana decided to get out of the water and sit on the beach chair to watch the sunset. She zipped her sleeveless dress back on her body and looked at the ocean before deciding to walk back in the water for a bit more of enjoyment.

She grinned while she watched her legs and feet under the water. She could see the sand and fishes because of the clear waters.

"Wow, so nice!" she chanted in wonder and did not notice the man watching her keenly just two meters away from her. She was enjoying the water and played like she was a kid, kicking out the water, while she was seeing Liam's face there.

"You deserve a harder kick!" she uttered, pertaining to her husband, Liam.

"Seems like you're enjoying yourself very much in here…" Lana heard a familiar voice that made her curse, thinking she was hallucinating already for missing her husband too much and at the same time punishing him for ignoring her for so long.

"Aren't you cold?" she heard the voice once more and she could feel goosebumps all over her body while she slowly raised her head to see if she was hallucinating or her ears were actually hearing the voice she missed so much every morning till she slept.

"What are you doing here?!" Lana hissed in horror, seeing Liam sternly looking at her with arched brows. He looked so real standing before her.

'Huh! He is the real one, Lana…' She told her thumping heart.

"I think I should be the one asking that. This is a private property of my cousin Ryu Ken… Or are you perhaps related to Deyna? I mean, Yera?" Liam asked as he slowly stepped towards Lana. But of course he already knew why Lana was there… Just that he wanted to see if his stubborn wife would be honest with him on taking up another dangerous case, such as Xander's case.

He just arrived right at that moment since he and Ryu had to settle up some important things first before leaving last night, and the first thing he did was to immediately look for Lana. He walked towards Lana to hug her because he missed her so much.

"Stop right there!" Lana hissed with her hand raised, signaling Liam to stop.

"Why should I? Last time I checked, I had all the rights to come close since we're still married." Liam remarked with a mischievous grin. She was obviously still mad at him. He missed those blazing eyes of his wife like she was ready to bite him to death.

"We have an agreement! Don't you dare take another step! We can cut our ties anytime!" Lana threatened. Bringing out their initial agreement about the marriage according to which any of them could cut their marriage ties if anyone was no longer happy with the relationship.

She was furious at him, amazed at his audacity of showing his prideful face in front of her even after breaking her heart and hiding away from her without a single word for weeks? How dare he show up like that with a grin on his face like nothing happened! Shameless!

"Hmm, did we sign that agreement, little tigress?" He scoffed with an evil grin, seeing his proud wife panicking as he moved closer to her, now only an inch away from her face.

'Scaring me, huh?' Lana mused with a raised brow, followed by a devious, sly smirk. She would never lose to this man!

"Shall I then fulfill your wildest fantasy about me, pervert?" Lana scowled as she unzipped her dress, knowing how her husband hated it when she revealed too much of her skin in the open.

"What are you doing?" Liam muttered in disbelief.

"You only started this. Isn't this exactly what you wanted? I never lose a fight..." Lana challenged.

Liam silently cursed because he too never lost a fight!

She let the top loose down from her body, revealing her two-piece swimwear. Liam looked around in panic because he would let no one see his wife's perfect body except him alone!

"Put this back and let's talk…" he grunted as he bent down to pick the dress and put it back up on Lana but a resounding slap landed on his face.

"Bastard!" Lana yelled as tears ran down from her eyes. Liam grabbed her wrist, but Lana shoved it off as she walked away from him. Liam followed and begged, "Can we please talk first?"

Lana ignored him because she had already set her mind to give him a good punishment once she saw him… She was mad and she wanted him to feel her pain and the fury she had in her heart due to him ignoring her for so long. And he dared flirt with another woman in front of her!

Liam cursed and ran past her and quickly carried Lana's body like a sack on his shoulders.

"Put me down!" Lana yelled.

"No! You have to listen to me first!"

He walked directly to one of the floating villas where he usually slept. He opened the door and put Lana down as soon as they were inside, pinning her on the wall with his arms.

"Love… I missed you so much… I told you to trust me, right? Something came up and for your safety… I had to do what I did…"

Lana bit her lip as she tried to control the tears that wanted to run out of her eyes once more. She had been crying so many tears already… She wanted to listen to Liam, but her aching heart was being stubborn.

"No! Do you know why I'm so mad? It's because it's you who said that we two must not keep any secret from each other, but it's you who broke that promise! You are keeping a secret and even broke my heart for that!" Lana snapped as tears fell from her eyes.
