Chereads / IN HIS CAPTIVE / Chapter 16 - VANESSA'S ARRIVAL

Chapter 16 - VANESSA'S ARRIVAL

The butler and maids rushed out of the mansion and lined up horizontally to welcome their long lost young master. Some of them were present during his parents' demise and taught he had died long ago because of his absence as no one heard from him since then. They were surprised to see him all groomed and grown up to a perfect figure. Not only that but with a beauty beside him making some maids envious of her position while some wondered who she was.

    When they heard of the infamous Liam Violante Alessandro, who ranks the world's no 1 self made multi billionaire, since no picture was attached to it. Their minds never reflected to their young master. No one could ever believe that their once young master will be this eye catching.

"Welcome Young master, Welcome Milady" They all chorused in unison. Since he came with a woman beside him, it's only wise to show her respect as they've heard if his ruthless ways. Genevieve smiled and waved a thank you at them while the stoic man beside her ignored their greetings and continued by walking in fully. They all scattered and went back to their position while the butler went ahead to announce their arrival.

At the announcement, Everyone rushed down to the living room to confirm the butler words. Shock was an understatement to some as the girl were already informed about it but they didn't know about the lady beside him.

We sat on the double couch before the surprised faces who kept standing.

Liam smirked at their expression. I mean no one would ever believe he would be here. His uncle and aunt were so speechless.

"Welcome Liam" His uncle, Robert finally mustered up the courage to say after some seconds of silence.

"Since you are here. Let's have dinner" Mary, his aunt declared

"We're not here to have dinner to y'all" Liam stated irritated with no emotions. Robert was amazed by the boy's attitude. He always wanted a son to train to become like Liam but he never got one. Seeing the boy's attitude, he wished he would forgive them so he can take him as a son.

.

I turned to Liam trying to understand his words. Then why are we here?

Mercy became nervous at his decline. She looked beside him taking in the appearance of the lady. She couldn't ask who she was as Liam is not on good terms with them.

I looked at everyone's face seeing that they were nervous and Liam's aura us not even helping. I can't lie, his aura is intimidating as it's giving me chills also. No one could say anything.

I placed my hand on Liam's lap drawing his attention to me.

"Liam" i called his name ever so softly.

"What baby? " i blushed. I know this is not the time but i couldn't help it.

"We're here to see your family"

"They are not.. " i placed a finger on his lips at his interruption.

"Pls put what you have for them behind for just tonight. You brought me here yourself. Be a good boy for just tonight pls. " i rubbed my finger across his lip at the finish of my words. I saw shut his eyes and a sigh escaped his lips.

"I'm doing it for you baby. Let's have dinner" he finally opened his eyes and i couldn't contain my happiness. I don't really know where i got the courage to do all these but I'm glad it worked.

.

We were all sited around the dining table eating from the various kind of meals served by the maids delicately on it.

"This is Genevieve, My woman. I don't consider some of you as my family doesn't mean i wouldn't present a new member before you. " Liam said when he noticed everyone rounding up with their food.

"Welcome to the family Vieve. I'm Camela and this is Pamela, my twin sis" she said with a smile while Pamela waved at me.

"Thank you " i smiled back at them. They were both beautiful and looked friendly.

"Nice to meet you Genevieve. I'm Mercy Violante, his aunt" she said with a smile but there was a hint of pain at the end of her sentence.

"Thank you Ma'am" she seemed nice, i don't know why Liam can't just forgive them already.

"Welcome to the family Genevieve. I'm Robert Violante, his uncle" he looked like a man of few words.

"I'm Donald, Welcome Genevieve"

"Thank you Everyone" i replied at the end of their introduction

"I'm leaving you with them for just 10 minutes little pearl. Come to our room, when you're done" Liam whispered in my ears. "10 minutes" he repeated biting my ears. I winced at it.

There was an awkward silence the moment Liam left. His aura is really intimidating today. It's like the first day i met him.

"Welcome to the family again Vieve" Camela said to me breaking the silence. I think we're going to be best friends.

.

She walked away with her twin sister after exchanging smiles with me.

"I'll see you again Genevieve" Robert said as he ascended the grand stairs with Donald trailing behind him. I wonder who Donald is to the Violante.

"Thank you Genevieve" Liam's aunt started as she moved to a chair beside me. What exactly is she thanking me for? I don't remember doing anything to be thanked for.

"I know we did unspeakable things to Liam while he was younger and had no hope. Nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes. Please Genevieve try to talk to your man about us. We've pleaded earnestly for his forgiveness all to no avail" i can understand the pain she felt through her words but what can i possibly do to change Liam's stoned heart. Hatred that had been brewed up in him for years, it's not just possible.

"i understand you but Liam listens to no one" That's the truth. Anyone who knows Liam should also be aware that he listens to no one. He does what's on his mind without other people opinion.

"i know that but Genevieve, from what i have seen today, Liam likes you a lot. i mean, you're the first woman he has ever been seen with" my heart raced at the thought of her words. Am i truly Liam's first woman? If yes, when then did he kidnap me instead of asking like every other normal guy.

"But... "

"Nothing my dear. He has never agreed to come to this mansion since his parents incident even with the twins pleas, he refused. But he did today, because of you Genevieve and I'm pretty sure you didn't ask him to rather he brought you here on his own will. He agreed to even eat today because of you, saw what you did" i blushed recalling how i made Liam agree to the dinner offer.

"All I'm saying is you are the key to his forgiveness but you don't know how to make use of it. Try your best my love. Please " my head was in chaos. I want to help her but my Liam is not someone that can be convinced easily. How do i even bring the topic up.

'Hey Liam'

'Yes baby' then i blush forgetting my words and courage

'I want you to forgive your relatives and take them back' LIKE WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT.

"I'll try my very best ma" i finally agreed after Imagining different mad scenario in my head

"Thank you very much Genevieve" She pulled me in for a hug and i gladly accepted.

"I need to go upstairs now ma or I'll get Liam upset " i stood up at my words

"Call me mum my dear, you're like a daughter to me"

"OK Mum" I smiled going up the stairs in search of our room.
