The Law of Attraction
chapter-346

Liam was awakened by the sound of Lana vomiting inside the bathroom, and he rushed towards her.

"Oh God… Are you alright, love?" He asked as he gently massaged Lana's back while she kept on puking in the sink.

"No… My stomach is turning upside down." Lana murmured and started vomiting again.

Though they knew that it was a part of Lana's pregnancy, Liam could not help but feel bad about his wife's condition. She was having morning sickness and it was the first day. The doctor had told them that it would usually continue throughout the first trimester or in some cases, may even extend.

After Lana felt a little better, Liam helped her to sit on the couch and rushed to get some water. Then he massaged Lana's arms and legs.

Lana laughed and said, "Why are you massaging my body like that? It's not like my body is aching. It's my stomach which is very uncomfortable. Also, It's still early and you should go back to sleep."

Liam sighed and said, "You should go back to sleep. Come here and lay down your head on my lap while I'll stroke your hair. This will make you feel comfortable."

Lana did lay her head on Liam's lap while they were on the big couch.

Liam started stroking her hair and asked, "Do you crave any food? I will buy it for you instantly… Tell me whatever you want to eat love."

"Hmm… Nothing, just the jackfruit. Buy more of it. Wait, Chelsy makes really good cakes. I tasted the one she baked a few days ago… The one that father had brought to our house. Can you ask her to make me a cake with jackfruit?" Lana whispered, looking at Liam.

He smiled at her and poked her nose saying, "Okay, I will. Now close your eyes and sleep more, love."

Lana nozzled her lips and said, "I want a kiss…"

Liam chuckled and said, "Our baby is making you cling more to me. It's so unusual from you…"

Lana pouted her lips but before she could complain Liam had already leaned his head down and kissed her lips.

"Our first baby is making you clingy… I hope after you give birth you continue to do so…" Liam whispered as he kissed her nose and forehead.

"Sleep more, love…" he whispered. Lana closed her eyes with a smile on her face. Everything was going on very smoothly.

She was already asleep so Liam carried her and transferred her back onto the bed. He was about to join her when his mobile phone rang.

He quickly answered as it was the head of his security team.

"Sir, his body has been confirmed, Martin Smith died in the riot and his body was burnt but the DNA test confirmed his identity. Sir, I have sent you the forensic report and confirmation." Liam's head of security reported.

Liam went through the mailed report on his mobile and heaved sighed with relief. He looked at his wife and murmured, "Finally we can be at peace, love."

Like what his wife had said, they should not have ill intent towards others but somehow the death of Lana's father made them feel more at ease.

He decided to tell Lana about that news later. For now, he sent an instruction to his team to arrange everything that was necessary for the man's funeral. Afterall, the man was still the one who gave life to his wife and for that, he was thankful.

He then quickly joined Lana on the bed and hugged her tightly.

Later that morning, Liam went inside the kitchen to look for Chelsy after his breakfast with the family. It was the first time he would meet the woman in person, since he never saw her in the mansion whenever he was around.

Maybe because he always used to leave early and come at evening he never crossed her and Miley told him that Chelsy often stayed in the kitchen with the Chef.

He saw a woman who looked as if she was probably in her thirties.

"Sir, are you looking for me?" Chelsy timidly asked.

"Yes, my wife is craving for a cake made with jackfruit in it. Do you think you can experiment and create a good one for her?" He asked because it was the first time he heard of a cake made up from jackfruit.

Chelsy gave him a bashful smile and said, "No worries Sir. I can make one and I hope she will like it. I will bring it to her tonight once I'm done. I will also make some desserts from the fruit that she will surely love."

Liam nodded and said, "Thank you."

Liam noticed how Chelsy had a genuine smile on her face and he got the same impression of her just like with Miley. The woman seemed to be easy to get along with.

Soon everyone left and Chelsy baked the cake along with some other desserts and pastries of jackfruit. When she was finished, she endorsed it to the chef.

"Why? Are you going out?" The chef asked.

"I plan to leave the mansion today if Senior Sy will permit."

"What's wrong? I thought you were having a good time and rather enjoying your work here?" The Chef asked as he felt sad because Chelsy was nice and hardworking plus she's someone they could easily get along with.

Chelsy chuckled and said, "It's personal. Something came up… I will go to Senior Sy now to ask him…"

She honestly thought that it would no longer be good if she would stay there anymore. Unrequited love would eat her alive so she should stay away from now. Having those fleeting moments she had spent with him was enough for her.

Also, it was already the time for her to come out of her fantasies and face the reality because she was not some 'cinderella' and those fairy tale stories rarely happened in real life.

She walked outside the kitchen to look for Senior Sy, and she found him in the garden. Chelsy paused walking towards him and released some air from her lungs to remove her nervousness.

She already had her alibi about living. She raised her feet with heavy footsteps towards her knight in shining armor, the man of her dreams that she could never attain.
