The Loveless Romance

10. Baheve!— No, thanks

Antonio's POV:

"They are going to Paris, Sir." James, my personal investigator told me.

I creased my eyebrows at this information.

"For the honeymoon, I guess." He added his own hypothesis and I gave him an angry glare which shut his mouth.

As much as I know Liam, he can't get over something so easily and I know he is not over his ex-wife yet then why the hell is he taking Adriana to Paris?

There is something unusual here. What if he hurt her? That moron is no more in his senses.

Whatever. It would be even easier for me to rescue Adriana from him when he away from home. I won't let him harm her. He can never know how precious she is. He will hurt her for what her sister did to him. I know him since childhood.

He is cruel and careless.

And if his wife ran away with someone else then I'm sure it has to do something with his behavior. Anyways, what happened to him is none of my concern. What is happening with Adriana is all I have to worry about.

"Okay. When is the flight?" I asked James.

"Tomorrow, sir." He replied and I nodded my head, leaning back on my chair.

Every passing moment is making me restless. I want to see her. I want to talk to her. I want to hold her and tell her how much I love her. I know she is in trouble because it was her callous father who wanted to get her married to Liam. She loves me and she wanted to marry me. How can her father force her into this relationship?

But she doesn't need to worry about anything. I won't leave her alone like this in this situation. I will take her far away from Liam and we will live a happy life together. We will live our dreams together.

"Confirm my flight for tomorrow. I'm going to Paris." I asked my manager.

"Right away, sir." He nodded and left the room.

"Mr. James. You may go now." I dismissed the investigator and sighed, closing my eyes and lightening a cigarette.

I inhaled a deep breath and then puffed out the smoke which spread inform of my eyes, forming random patterns. It is evening and the sun could be seen hiding down behind the skyscrapers. I stood up from my chair and looked out through my glass window.

Everyone seems busy. The hustles and bustles of this city are sweeping away all the emotions. Homeless people are sitting by the corners of the street but nobody is paying attention to them. Everyone is lost in the sparkling lights. Their eyes are watching up, ignorant of what is happening down on earth.

Where does this human race is heading to? Where we all are going?

We all cry alone. We hide our emotions because nobody really cares. We get depressed but we smile. Everyone is going through this yet we can't understand each other's pain. Nobody cares how painful it is for me to see my lover who is now married to a man who had been harsh on me since childhood.

Nobody really cares. This is life. This is reality. This is what we are. This is how we live. We have to fight for ourselves. Nobody is free to care for you. You have to take care of yourself.

And I will help myself. I will bring the love of my life back. She is mine and she will be mine soon.

Adriana's POV:

Today we are leaving for Paris. Everything has come back to slightly normal. We went shopping on the same day when Liam told us about the plan. I have never been so happy in my entire life. I have lived the real life in these few days. 

Together we shopped for Oliver and then Liam brought me new dresses and shoes. He was being so humble with me. He didn't smile in my direction for even once but he didn't scold me either. He was happy with Oliver but he wasn't ignorant to me either. 

I'm now standing in the lounge with Oliver while Liam is still in the room. I strolled towards his room and knocked on it. He said yes and I opened the door. He was standing at the end of the bed, his back facing me. His hands were on his waist and he was looking at his scattered clothes. 

He turned around and I saw a cute look on his face. He was looking like a child who has caught red-handed after messing something up. He was scratching the back of his head. 

"What is this?" 

I was supposed to ask this question but he asked me instead, pointing at the pile of clothes that he tried to dig into the suitcase without folding them properly and ended up making a mess. 

"Let me do this," I said, smiling secretly. 

He nodded taking Oliver from my arms. He laid down on the bed and settled Oliver on his chest. Half of his legs were hanging down the bed. He sang a song for Oliver and I stopped breathing. His sound was so good. Like those of birds who sing to welcome the beautiful spring. 

I folded his suits and put them in the suitcase while enjoying his song. Oliver was enjoying it too because he was laying on his father's chest silently and hearing to the song. 

I was done with his packing and by then Oliver was drifted to sleep. Liam smiled at his son and kissed his cheeks. 

"He loves this song. I have been singing it for him since he was in his mother's belly." He told, smilingly but his smile vanished when he mentioned Oliver's mother. 

He became lost in his thoughts again. He turned his face away and I witnessed him sighing. I could tell how painful that sigh was for him. A hopeless sigh. A helpless sigh. 

"You have a very beautiful voice." I smiled at him, trying to pull him out of his miserable past. 

He just hummed and sat straight on the bed. Oliver was resting in his arms. He caressed his cheeks and then kissed his nose. I saw the love in his eyes for Oliver. I used to see the same shine in his eyes when he used to see Serena. 

She is indeed an evil & cursed soul otherwise how could she betray him and leave behind her innocent son?

We were now done with our packings and everything. The driver then took us to the Airport where after going through all the required procedures, we were now in the plane. 

It was my first ever experience on the plane and I was excited. I was looking at every other person around me as if they were aliens and they were looking back at me with the same look. I even started to giggle! 

Like WTF!

My excitement didn't last for long because when the plane elevated up, my stomach clenched tightly and my eyes went shut. My legs were trembling. I felt as if we were going to fall down. The pilot was not flying the plane correctly. 

"Stop the plane!" I shouted. My eyes were still closed. "I'm not going everywhere! I'm happy on the earth!" 

"What the hell is this, Adriana?" I heard Liam hissing in my ear while holding my wrist. 

"You are an i***t, Liam. I hate you!" I said back but not loudly. I just whispered in his ear. 

"I want to say the same for you." He retorted back and I slapped his hand that was holding my wrist. 

He narrowed his eyes and now the plane was flying straightly. I gave him an angry look and turned my face away from him. We didn't talk after that throughout our flight. 

After long, tiring hours of flying, we finally landed. He looked angry and I didn't care about it. He walked out ignoring me and I followed him like a lost puppy because It was my first time in this new city. 

When we came out of the plane, the winds of Paris welcomed us. It was fresh and fragrant air that freshened our mood. I smiled and closed my eyes, feeling the moment. 

When I opened my eyes, I found myself surrounded by people. All strange people. I looked around for Liam or Oliver but nobody was there. This was the moment when my body started to respond like a maniac. The adrenaline started showing its effect and I felt the goosebumps all over my body. 

My head was spinning and I felt as if the people are coming towards me and they are gonna eat me alive. Their smiles were creepy and their looks we're frightening. They were looking like Zombies.

I ran from there as fast as possible. Fat tears were coming out of my eyes and hide in a corner. 

Everything makes sense to me now. Liam hatched a plan against me. He wanted to get rid of me that's why he brought me here and now he left me. He left me alone. He took away my Oliver with him. 

Oh, God! Help me. I will die here. I want my Oliver. I hate Liam. 

I cried loudly, hugging myself. My eyes were shut but when I opened my eyes, I saw Liam standing beside me. He was breathing heavily. I ran towards him and I didn't know how or why but I wrapped my arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. 

"You are an asshole bastard!" I cursed him, tightening my grip around him.

"Shut up." He said in reply. He didn't sound angry but relaxed. He was hugging me back. 

He was HUGGING me back!

"You left me intentionally so I would get lost. Didn't you?" I sniffled, grasping his shirt in my fists. 

"Why would I do that? I have spent a major portion of my wealth on you." His reply was as cruel as he himself is.

"Why don't you die?" I said to him while still hugging him. 

"I can't say the same for you because then I would be at loss. I have to make you pay for the amount." He said, locking his arms around my back, giving me a tight squeeze. 

"You are a—..."

"Mommy." 

Another bad word just stuck in my mouth when I heard Oliver calling me. I pushed Liam away from me and turned to see a lady carrying my child. I raised my brow at her and extended my arms to take my Oliver from her. 

She was stretching her lips in a fake smile so I did the same. She then came forward to whisper something in Liam's ear to which he nodded. I felt as if they were talking about me.

Whatever. I don't care. I waited for them to finish their secret talk so I can follow him because I don't know where to go and I can't afford to get lost again. 

Soon, he dismissed the lady and walked away from there. He didn't ask me to follow him but I still had to. We reached in front of a car and he opened the door for me. I gave him a mocking smile before I settled Oliver inside the car. 

When Oliver was sitting inside securely, Liam pulled me towards him by grasping my arm. Our eyes meet but the world around us didn't stop. His touch wasn't giving me goosebumps and neither this proximity was exciting the butterflies in my stomach.

I think I really hate him now. 

"You better behave or I know how to make you." He threatened. 

Oh ho. I got afraid.

I looked at him from head to toe and stood just a few inches away from him. I wasn't feeling any fear of him. Actually, he is the only one who makes me feel protected but now if he is threatening me then I have to reply to him.

"Then make me if you can." Saying this, I pushed his away and got in the car, closing the door. 

He narrowed his eyes and then nodded his head as if thinking about some new plans. I gave him a devilish smile to which he growled lowly but I felt it from the way his chest moved and facial expressions changed.

It is gonna be fun teasing him.
