Seven

"Probably excited to have a drink" he smiled warmly at me a spun to another customer. I walked to one of the lone tables arranged for people to have their drinks. Most guys were in groups having fun. Others were busy dancing and having fun and enjoying themselves.

I could see Sheila enjoying Himself too. I poured myself a glass and drank it. Yuck!! Not what I expected. I looked around the place and it looked like everyone other than me was enjoying themselves. I mean I wasn't even enjoying my glass of taquila.

I sat there for a while and decided to turn on my phone. I was looking through Instagrams photos of my friend Tamara. She was at her honey moon with her college boyfriend who is now her husband, Prince. in Paris. It made me feel bad about my marriage. I was here in a club bored to death, while my husband was away in a coma. Wow!!

As I was on my phone. I felt that feeling again. My heart was racing seriously. I put my hand on my chest as I looked around. I don't know if it was out of instinct or something else, I just looked at those tinted windows. I narrowed my eyes looking straight at them. I felt like someone was staring right back at me.

It was weird, but I felt it. I wonder if there is anyone behind it staring back at me. Was I just being paranoid?

As I was still in my moment. Someone came and blocked my view. Tania.

Really!, seriously!, Tania?. God really- I asked inwardly with an expression, which I knew clearly had irritation written allover it.

" You!" She was obviously furious. So Tania. Her tone told me so " We are leaving....now" she ordered.

" Great, let's go" I rose up ready to leave. I wanted to get home anyway. plus I wanted away from this place. This place was creeping me out. Especially those tinted windows.

" Wait, just like that?" She questioned. Her brows ceased.

" Is there a problem?" I asked her back. As I raised one brow of mine.

" No! I just thought you were going to put up a fight first. Or something related to it."

" Let's just go. This place sucks. " I said and led the way out.

" Alright, " she followed and we left the place.

We found sabastian standing next to a black SUV looking elegant just as last night. He opened for us the door and drove us back home. Now that my day was gone. What was going to happen next?

Damnon

" Please..." I opened my eyes wide open at that voice. Ahrgg!....That nightmare again. I shut my eyes as I exhaled heavily. I opened my eyes once again and looked at the heavy curtains that were open and were letting in too much light. I must have forgotten to pull the down last night before going to sleep.



I rose up from the bed feeling tired. I stretched out alittle as I sat up on my fluffy bed. Last night was a little scary for me after seeing that lady after such a long time. Who would have thought our paths would cross again?not me for sure. I really didn't want that to happen. I wonder if she would recognize me if she met me. I didn't want any commotions in my future.



At exactly 9:00 am, I was seated in the conference room with the share holder's of the company and some essential workers. I had made sure to come early so that the meeting would start at exactly 9 and I would head back to my cellar to have my time alone and put this all behind me. The room screamed seriousness mainly because it was all white and glass. The lights were so bright in the room. I was getting anxious about everything and alittle annoyed too. Tania was late.



Tania hadn't arrived yet, which made me feel uneasy with the quietness looming in the room. She was the one who put out the point of me to be hear at exactly by 9. I did my part and I don't see her doing her part of being present.



After about five minutes, Tania walked in with the lawyer by her side and 'her' behind them. I remember I saw Tania talk to her yesterday, but I didn't think too much about them. Especially working together in Isaac's company. I felt my heart stop for a moment when I saw her scanning the room asif looking for someone. Was she possibly looking for me?



No way! Right? She didn't know me!



Fuck!! She is looking at me!!!!!- I screamed in my head. I move my eyes quickly away from hers



Her brows ceased, her eyes narrowing at me. Her face was full of curiosity. That brief look was stuck in my head.



The lawyer, Tania and her. Took their seats. I was naturally scared which was not something usual for me. Did she possibly know I would be here?



" Well since we are all here, I guess we can start" Tania's sharp voice rang in the quiet room. I was hoping it would start and end soon. Seeing this lady here, changed my plans completely.



" Can I say something?" Her voice, gosh!! it was more enchanting this time unlike the time she was screaming for help. Did she recall that incident?. She seemed harmless.



" Sure" Sheila who was seated next to said agreed. I could see Tania fume alittle. Was I missing something?



" Well am new here and I don't know most of you..." she said as her scanning eyes briefly stopped when they met mine. " So I would prefer if we introduce ourselves....if that's okay?" she continued. See Harmless.... She seemed nervous with all the attention given to her. She made some funny face probably because she was nervous but that amused me instead. My lips curved up alittle in amusement. I covered it with my hand as I caught my chin.



" Alright, I will start. Am Mrs.......Liv Williams" she said when no one said anything to her. Mrs.? She was married. To a Williams?



But if am right, Isaac should be extremely old now. I don't think she would agree to that. And I don't think Isaac was stupid enough to marry a young girl like her at his age now. It can't be the Williams I knew. Sheila introduced himself next and the rest did the same. I also introduced myself but just as Damnon with no any additions to it. I really didn't have another name tho.



" Since all the introductions is done" Tania said with a plaster smile on her face. " I think the lawyer should start."



" Wait!" One of the share holder's stopped Tania. " Don't you think we have a Right to know where Mr. Williams is before we continue?" He asked. I saw Tania puff her cheeks at that. She seemed to be in a hurry to get this over with. And I wanted the same, before but not anymore.



" Well if you insist.." she started. pretty irritated with the interruptions to reading the message from her father. " My dad is in Tennessee." She said briefly not clearly wanting to explain further.



" What is he doing in Tennessee?" Another asked. I loved to see Tania's irritated face.



" He is extremely ill at the moment. he under going treatment. So as we wait for his recovery, am sure we all prefer the company to continue working and making money" I answered for Tania. I could see she was irritated with the questions. I told the truth, just not all of it.



" So since you now know that, can we all just listen to the lawyer. Please, without anymore interruptions. We should hit the main reason we are here" Tania said.



" Seems someone is eager to become the CEO" I heard Sheila whisper to Liv.... nice name by the way . I saw her smile, she had a gorgeous smile that was so inviting. This time I got to see her clearly under the bright light and she was pretty. Extremely pretty, if I may add.



I wonder if the world didn't notice her and probably wanted to make her a model or something. Since most of the rare beauties always become one. I mean its not every day you get see a light skinned lady with blue eyes. Am sure am not the only one staring at the lady right now, or at the very least and an evil thought or two about her.



" Damnon?" I heard Tania's sharp voice pull me out of my moment.



" What?" I asked alittle displeased by her rude call.



" What do you say?" She asked.



" About?" I asked alittle confused. I saw Liv giggle alittle from the corner of my eye. I think I missed something.



" Weren't you listening?" She asked. clearly displeased with my attitude to the meeting



" Sorry, could please repeat what you said?" I apologized in a gentle voice.



" Well, Rick( the lawyer) here asked that we should all oath to follow Dad's wishes as we all wait for his safe return" she said.



" Yeah sure, I do agree" I said completely ignoring what might be the consequences of my statement. I wanted this to end so that I get a chance to talk to Liv. I wanted to know if she recalled anything. Because if she did I wanted to make sure she didn't. It was horrible moment for her.
