The Law of Attraction
chapter-465

Liam heaved a long sigh as his eyes darted in a particular direction to the side of the bed since he's back was towards Lana. He felt some movement on the bed and soon Lana's arm sn.a.k.e.d around his waist, hugging him tightly.

"Are you sleeping already?" Lana whispered. Dinner was too awkward, there was only silence between them.

"I know you're still conflicted and mad at me. Again, I'm really sorry what I did was wrong. Leaving is not always an option and I'm really sorry that I chose to do that instead of opening up to you. I'm really sorry Liam.

It's all my fault. I made a grave mistake in my decision making and hurt you a lot in the process. I really want to make amends and rectify everything. Please give me this second chance. I love you so much and I don't want to lose you like this because of the wrong decision I made at that time.

I'm willing to do anything Liam. Please… I beg you… Give me a second chance…" Lana pleaded as tears swam in her eyes. She was too desperate to not lose him at any cost.

Liam did want to see Lana crying. He turned around and pulled Lana in his arms, letting her cheek rest on his chest with her head on his shoulder.

"Please don't cry and sleep now, Lana… I can't answer you right now. I have to balance everything out because there are still fears and hesitations in my heart Lana," He sincerely whispered as he kissed Lana's head.

He was indeed conflicted but he was sure of one thing and that was the fact that he wanted Lana back in his life but… He wanted to see how she would do if he told her that he was scared and was having hesitations.

"I am too jealous and envious of Kyle," he could not help but voice out. But at the same time, he was also grateful that the man kept Lana safe all the time she was away.

Lana bit her lower lip and whispered, "I'm sorry. I don't have any mean intentions. I'm so inconsiderate and insensitive. I'm really sorry Liam…

I thought, at that time, that it was better for me to confide in a person who was not that close to my heart, I thought that person who is not close to me will not feel hurt or guilt knowing my conditions and trauma. I just couldn't bear anyone close to me feeling burdened with what I was going through.

Now, I will not ever make the same decision and mistake again. No matter what happens, even if it may hurt you… I will share everything with you, Liam… whatever situations we encounter, whether good or bad, I will face everything together with you."

Liam heaved a sigh and continued to gently kiss Lana's head.

"Take your time until you fully trust me again, Liam. I love you so much and I hope you can trust me this time again. I will do my utmost not to let you down…" Lana continued.

It was a consolation for her that Liam chose to tell her his thoughts.

Lana suddenly tilted her head, recalling her encounter with Sarah. She believed Liam should know about it. Although she was sure that it was not Liam who would tell something that was private to Sarah, but somehow she still wanted to ask Liam about it and confirm her suspicions.

Besides, she was not really aware of how close Sarah was with Liam at this point of time and she did not want to ask Jorge about it as well. But seeing Jorge and Liam eat lunch with her privately… meant that Sarah was somehow very close?

"Did you somehow mention anything about me to Sarah? My real identity?" she asked, meeting Liam's eyes intently.

"No!" Liam burst with snapped eyebrows.

"Why? What happened?" he asked in a row.

Lana rested her head back on Liam's chest and told Liam what happened in the elevator.

Liam's face darkened but he kept his calm and whispered, "I will look into it…"

He would definitely do more than looking at it but he intentionally said it like that in front of Lana.

Meanwhile, Lana pouted her lips as she disappointedly mused, "Look into it? That's all?"

If it was her Liam from before, he would definitely fire Sarah that very instant but now he was saying he would just look into it?

She sighed as she tried to calm her hurting heart. It looked like she still had a long way to go before she could win him over again. Oh, how she missed his old Liam who would always do anything in her favor in the blink of an eye.

She was sulking but she ended up caressing Liam's chest as she whispered, "Are you that close to her?"

Liam was surprised to hear that but he was pleased to hear the jealous tone from her voice.

"I told you Sarah is a key person in the company and she takes care of us well, as a team. She's actually a thoughtful person who thinks of everyone's welfare in the company.

Among all that, I got to work with her closely together with Daryl on very special, complicated, and confidential cases…" he whispered since it was true. That was how he became close to her and noticed her potential.

He heaved a long sigh because it was a question of how Sarah became aware of Lana's profile. He would definitely not let this go easily. No one should dare harm Lana in any means, not on his watch, whoever it was. He did not like the fact that Sarah threatened Lana.

He suddenly growled when he felt Lana abruptly tug at his member with his pajama still on.

"Sorry, I'm supposed to caress it. Is my grip that tight?" Lana innocently muttered before she slipped her hand inside his pajama. Surprisingly, Liam was hard, so she continued rubbing and tugging it, she tightened her grip until she heard him growl.

Liam controlled his chuckling because he was aware of what Lana was doing to him... She was obviously pissed off and not pleased with what he said.

"Stop that and let's just sleep. You'll end up making me incapable if you continue gripping it like that," Liam muttered with a grin.
