"Boss why did you invite us here?" Joy asked.
She had sent them a location of a restaurant telling them to come to meet her.
Joy's hand arrived with Lucian who was also looking around.
"I noticed this place has the same name as your sister," he said.
Liana chuckled glancing at Xavier who was talking to the chefs.
"Yeah it does, Xavier named it after me," she said.
"HUH?....he named it after you so he owns this place, " Lucian asked.
"Yes, I came here once and loved it. so I wanted us to come here and celebrate our achievement," she said.
Xavier walked back to their table and sat next to her.
They served them champagne and Liana made a toast to their success and Joy's recovery.
"Joy don't drink too much, you just recovered, " Lucian said stopping her from drinking a second glass.
"Do you know how that bastard bothered us all these years? He knew we needed his shops in those areas to sell our products and he made sure he profited more than us " Joy pulled away from Lucian.
"Joy is right, we need to celebrate 'cause now we have finally gotten rid of him. Let's all thank my handsome boyfriend, Xavier " Liana smiled.
Joy muttered her thanks while Lucian just ignored her and picked up some food.
They enjoyed their dinner and after drinking more than two bottles Xavier decided to stop the two women.
"I told you not to let them drink " Lucian scowled seeing Joy and his sister drink.
Xavier pulled the glass from Liana's hand, "Liana let's go home " he said.
She threw her arms around his neck, "you should stop drinking this much, it's a bad habit " he said.
She nodded giggling.
Lucian led Joy into his car while Xavier carried Liana to his.
"Take care of my sister, " Lucian said before driving off.
Xavier smiled back at him then got into his car driving them home.
"You know that bastard was working for mom and Dad, but even when I found out I could not get rid of him 'cause I needed his resources for my products " she muttered.
Xavier pulled off his coat and covered it around her body. "Thank you " she smiled.
She sighed, "And now because of you I finally got rid of him. Thank you my love," she said turning to Xavier.
"Welcome," he said.
"I bet Mom and Dad are furious that they lost their spy from my company " she laughed.
"It's good his gone this way your parents would not find ways to mess with you or the company " Xavier added.
"You know Mom had supported the idea of me starting a company of cosmetic products cause she thought maybe it will help me change my appearance" she chuckled, "still pathetically thinking she was finally supporting me, I studied until I learned how to use makeup to change someone's appearance completely, and when mom saw my achievement she told me to do it on my self ".
She turned away, And I did, I had tried dyeing my hair once but my hair didn't change it just kept turning darker so this time I opted for a blond wig, and blue lenses and used makeup to turn my skin darker to match theirs. I was excited cause I thought mom would be so happy to see that I finally looked a little like them.
But when I reached home, she froze and looked at me with eyes filled with horror.
The wig had turned red too, my eyes were tiring up until the lenses slid out on their own.
Since then I never tried to change the way I look, so I let my hair stay red, my eyes black and my skin so pale I could be called skin.
Xavier parked the car, " Liana with this success let's put everything behind us and never think about the sad things you went through . Let's make new memories, happy and loving memories " he said holding her hands.
She nodded, "To new happy memories "
They went up to her apartment, "Am hungry " she cried.
"What do you want to eat?" he asked still holding her steady.
"Ice cream," she said. He laughed, "Liana ice cream isn't food, your hunger won't go away with that," he said leading her to the living room.
"I suggest you make her something with meat she seems to love it " a voice stopped both of them.
Xavier's hold on Liana tighter and she flinched.
"Love, you're holding me a little tight," she said turning to the stranger on her couch, "and who are you freak, you can't enter people's homes like that, Xavier call the police " she shouted.
He held her and gulped, "Liana the police won't be needed it's okay," he said.
"Xavier in case you forgot I have been attacked in my home before so I think he's been by my parents since I threw their man out " she staggered trying to pull away from his hold.
The stranger chuckled looking at them.
"He not trust me," Xavier said.
"Do you know him, Xavier?" Liana asked.
"Yes, I do " he answered.
"Then who is he?" she asked.
Xavier turned to the stranger and then back to her.
"His my father, the king of the Underworld," he said.
Liana seemed to stop thinking and just blinked she kept blinking and slowly turned her half-open eyes to the man in her living room. Hiccupping Liana scoffed and before Xavier could say another word she fainted.
Xavier too late to react watched as his father caught her, landing in his huge arms. He looked down at her and smirked.
