[Bonus chapter]Chapter 25: I'll figure out how to divorce him

" How do you think I can get to know why the old man married me?" I asked Liam, he was good at figuring out things.

"He is an old man yeah? The best way I think would be to get close to him, but I don't want you to do that." He answers looking away from me. ' Thank God am good at pretending not to notice things else how do I act like I don't know his feelings for me?' I sighed and asked, " Why don't you want me to if that's the best way?" Liam was the best at solving puzzles and my life looked like a serious puzzle.

" What if you get close to him and he falls in love with you? Do you think he'll ever divorce you then?" he sounded serious which was hilarious to me. I looked at him with the expression on his face and I couldn't help but laugh. Liam didn't understand why I was laughing and just kept staring at me. ' That sly old man like me?'

" Are you serious Liam, that old man can fall in love with me? This has gotta be the most hilarious thing I've heard in a while." I thought about it and laughed out again.

" I know what am saying Lisa, falling in love with you takes no effort it just happens." I looked up and he was looking right into my eyes, I looked away immediately because I was immediately reminded of the old man's eyes. The most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen, the energy in those eyes still bothered me.

" There's nothing to worry about, I don't think he even likes me in that way," I reassured him.

" I wonder when I'll meet him," Liam murmured.

"Well... You've met him already." I was watching him to see his reaction. he jacked his head up immediately.

" I have? " He asked confused " When was that? I don't remember meeting him." He continued.

" The other day at the coffee shop, the two men I was talking to when you walked in" He turned his head to the side as he tried to remember. " The two people in a black and grey suit that sat close to the window?" I nodded to his question and his expression changed, he seemed to remember something I didn't but whatever he remembered wasn't pleasant.

' Did he remember the old man glaring?' I thought as I watched him. He seemed to be pondering about something, I got curious waiting for him to say something " Liam what is it?" He was thinking about something.

" Nothing Lisa" he answered as he forced a smile. Even though he wouldn't say I knew the was something he didn't want to say.

" We'll figure out a way to get a divorce but don't try to get close to him okay?" He pleaded, I nodded but I was already pondering the idea of getting close to him. ' Am I sure I want to do this? What if he takes advantage of me in the process? No am overthinking it. '

We chatted for some time before I went home, I called Gab earlier to tell him he didn't need to pick me up but I was surprised when I came out from Liam's house and saw him waiting outside the gate. He got out immediately when he saw me approaching. Liam saw him and frowned, he didn't seem to like Gab very much. As he hugged me goodbye, he murmured " Take care of you okay?" And I nodded.

" Hello, ma'am. " He greeted as he held the door open for me.

" Hey Gab, how did you know I was here?" I asked as I boarded the car. He got in and smiled without giving me an answer.

" Wait, don't tell me there is like a tracker on me" I started checking my clothes and bag which made Gab smile even more.

" No ma'am, it's nothing of that sort. The chairman asked me to keep an eye on you to make sure you are safe." He explained.

" Why would he care?" I murmured, Gab looked at me from the rearview mirror and smiled again. I remembered it was Friday and I would have the house to myself since the old man won't be home and smiled happily.

Liam's house was a bit far from the old man's house so we got home an hour late. When we got home I got down and heated to the sitting room, when I opened the door I heard laughter coming from the dining room, I knew it wasn't the old man's laughter so who was it? I looked at my watch it was 9 pm.

' Today is Friday so what is this this old man doing at home? Isn't supposed to be in bed with a brothel or partying somewhere, why was he home and who is the other person laughing? And their foes my dreams of having a good weekend

Immediately I walked in, the laughter stopped all of a sudden.

I walked to the dining and saw to figure having a meal, The old man turned to look at me. ' Why, do you have to be home?'I thought.

"Hello Mr Kelvin" I greeted unsure if said the right thing or note

" Hi" He replied, The second person turned around and gave what would be the most amazing smile I had ever seen as he said " Hey Lisa, heard a lot about you, Come and have dinner" he invited, I wanted to decline but I found myself walking to the table and taking a sit. He had to be the most handsome guy I've ever seen, he wore a body hug top which displayed his muscular arms and abs. As I turned around and came to sit down I couldn't help but stare.

' Why wasn't he the one I was forced to marry? I thought

As I got to the opposite chair, I lifted my eyes to see him see the face of the man in front of me. He had to be the most handsome guy I'd ever seen, he wore a body hug top that displayed his muscular arms and abs. As I turned around and came to sit down I couldn't help but stare. He sat down but I could still measure his height, he would be at least 6 feet tall, the old man was tall too but damn, the man was an appealing sight to the eye. He had brown hair which was styled slicked back hairstyle, high cheekbones, full but not bushy eyebrows, a pair of brown eyes and perfect round lips and to make everything complete he was cleanly shaved, everything about him spoke perfection.

"Hey, I Am Tommy, Nice to meet you" he greeted cheerfully.
