Chapter Ten

Lisa was fast asleep, she forgot about the dinner. She heard a knock on her door, hearing it faintly.

The door opened and she jumped up from her bed all alert, being in custody made her so aware. The beatings came at unexpected moments.

"Hey it's just me, I was worried something had happened so I let myself in" he explained. Covering his eyes so that he doesn't see Lisa half naked.

"Don't talk, get out," she said. Feeling embarrassed that he saw her half naked.

He chuckled and left the room, " Don't make me go blind, I am still a virgin" he teased.

"Oh please, are you a virgin?? I must be the pope." She spat jokingly.

Liam laughed along with Lisa as he stood by the door.

"It's almost dinner, dress up quickly and come down stairs, lupita will help you with everything you need. A young beautiful maid walked in, her skin smooth, her hair nicely combed into a bun.

She did not look like a maid, she looked like the queen's personal assistant.

She got in and saw Lisa seated ok on the edge of the bed.

"Hi I'm lupita Greyson, I'll be your personal helper. If you need anything, there is a push button on the left side of the bed, and I'll come swiftly" she said.

Lisa smiled politely in agreement.

"Now let's get you dressed," lupita said.

Liam had a simple button up shirt and a pair of trousers. Lisa showed up looking elegant, like she belonged to the billionaire class.

She had a beautiful casual dress on, nothing fancy. And her hair neatly combed into a ponytail with two strands of hair falling on her face.

She wanted to tuck them in but Lupita did not allow it.

She reached the dining table and saw Liam's father first. They have different eyes, his grey eyes greet her first. His nicely combed hair, pushed back so clean.

He looked so fit, he looked like he was in his early fifties.

"Hi, I am Liam's father. He introduced" a small smile curled on his lips. She nodded and shook his hand.

She turned and saw Liam's brother, he had similar resemblance with Liam. The same eyes and same hair colour. It was like looking at the other version of Liam.

He glared at her, and looked away. Clearly showing his dislike towards Lisa.

"Zac, be nice." His father said in between a smile.

Zac was mannerless and never cared for anything.

"Okay, hi I'm Zac." He half smiled forcefully.

Lisa sat next to Liam.

She drew from there, this was going to be a long evening. It was clear they both did not like her.

But she was determined to help Liam.

"So for how long have you known my son?" the father asked.

Lisa choked a little and looked at Liam, not knowing what we said.

"Last year" Lisa answered.

"Two years ago," Liam said.

They said it at the same time.

"Uhm we first met two years ago but started dating last year" Lisa corrected. She had to lie. He could not know the truth that the two were almost strangers.

"Liam, tell me how you met her. I want to know all about my daughter in law." His father asked.

Lisa gulped, her palms sweaty. She was worried about what Liam would say.

She kept her face straight. Not showing any fear and waited for Liam to answer.
