Chapter Thirteen

"Few days after winning the case against Santiago Guerrero ,it was the biggest news in the whole of Felicidad City .

He was sentenced to life in imprisonment ;this news was publicised everywhere .It was the talk of the town however ,it was a great advantage for the Clinton And Associate Law Firm because it had been their biggest win .

" Santiago Guerrero ,the most wanted drug Lord had been pinned down by the great attorneys of Clinton And Associates Law Firm ; this was the headline which was publicised through all social media platforms ,television sets , radios ,magazines and news dailies .

Consequently ,Liza and Clinton were interviewed for their win ."

That's the last interview I'm actually watching or making myself available for .I'm seriously tired ,days after days ,it always has to be interviews ,Liza complained while stuffing some samosas into her mouth .

She prepares them consistently with potatoes and meat .It had become one of her favourites since aunt Hazel taught her how to make them .

For about twenty one days ,she had been staying with Hazel ,Klara and Clinton just to keep her aunt company .

Her parents would regularly visit and they would have a family dinner together .

Her mum ,Elisa who had also shifted to Felicidad City recently after getting married used to go on outings with her .

For this reason ,she always felt loved however ,neither she nor Clinton were ready to put aside their ego and make advances towards each other .

This would often darken Liza's mood and Clinton would most at times get drank and ruin in his self .

It was surprising how they both stayed under one roof and behaved like strangers .

'My dear, it's all part of your job .For me ,I think you should go on more interviews so that the whole world notices you ,Hazel added .

Ever since Liza moved in with her, she was doing great .She would spend her time doing what she loves and most at times ,go take a stroll at aquarium sites .

She loved aquatic organisms so she had this glass vase which contained some fishes for her viewing pleasure .

Centering them in the garden ,she would watch them all day long from her balcony .

'Aunt is right ,Klara added .You need to show the world what you have got .

Hun ,you should shine like the star that you are ,she smiled and quickly packed her luggage for her trip .

Klara constantly attended business trips and Liza helps her out when she's free .

Liza's presence in the house made her feel at home ,they would both chitchat all night long and watch movies while stuffing some popcorns into their mouth .

On their off days ,they would go swimming and add a touch up of adventure by inviting Jean .That girl was a party duchess .

'Alright ,time to go .I don't want to run late or else I will miss my flight ,Klara said giving Hazel and Liza a hug .

From the looks in her eyes ,she was really gonna miss them but then ,business is always business .'

Thank you Liza ,ever since you arrived ,you have been of great help to us all .

You have made a positive impact in our lives and ...

'Ma'am ...one of the maids interrupted Hazel .Sir doesn't want to open up his door and I'm afraid he might hurt himself again .

Last night he came home drank and all wrecked up and he doesn't properly check his diet too ,she added with a worried sick expression .'

Don't worry ,thanks for the info ,I will take care of him .Liza said and the maid left with a feeling of ease .

Aunt ,grab some rest , and besides you have some physiotherapy sessions to attend so I will ask Tony to drive you there .

Liza with an expression of worry walked to Clinton's door when Hazel left .

..... .....

"Knocks ...knocks "

Open up Clinton ,we need to talk .I know you can here me perfectly well so open up this damn door before I break it apart ,Liza said in a cold voice and in no time ,Clinton opened up the door .

He was really wrecked up like the maid said earlier .

His eyes sunk lowly when he saw Liza's beautiful face in front of her .She didn't need a heavy makeup like other girls to look gorgeously beautiful .

Just by this thought ,Clinton curved his lips into a lustful smile as he passed his hands smoothly into his hair .He had cut his long hair and shaped it nicely .

Any lady at a glance would get impregnated by his words or even his dimples which was widely exposed whenever he smiled .

His room seemed messy and Liza had to run into empty bottles of whisky each time she took a step forward .

For a second thought ,his room had really become the breeding site for alcohol .

If Liza guessed right ,it was because of her that Clinton had become an alcohol addict .

Few days ago ,Maxwell who happened to be Liza 's childhood friend expressed his love to her .

Just by the thought of this ,Clinton got mad and ever since then ,he started partying with girls and always getting himself wrecked up in order to forget his sorrows .

Just yesterday ,Maxwell kissed Liza right in front of Clinton at a pub and this got both of them into a brawl .

Angrily ,he left the pub with a few ladies following right after him .

This hurt Liza the more and each time she spotted Clinton with another lady ,she would feel a slight pain in her bond mark .

The one which came as a result of going to bed with Clinton .

She would wonder if their destiny is indeed tied up together because she was really hurting .

Although the generational curses had been broken and she could move on with her life with any man of her choice not paying much attention to the bond mark ,she still wanted Clinton as the man of her life .

Whichsoever way ,she wanted him but was not willing to fight for him until he took the advance first .
