Luciana slowly opened her eyes,adjusting to the bright sun light peeking from the curtains.
She felt a gentle pressure on her forehead, and a soft voice whispered her name. As she gazed up, she saw a familiar face, her brown eyes filled with concern. Luciana's head was pounding, and her mouth felt dry. She tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over her, forcing her back to the bed.
"Drink this" The familiar voice sounded,pointing a glass of water at her.
Luciana took it and gulped it down her throat,the water reliving her of her thirst.
"What happened?" Luciana asked,trying to force herself off the bed but the stinging pain from her head,pushed her back down to the bed.
"Stop trying to get up,it would only worsen it"
"Where am I and why're you here?"Luciana asked,placing a hand on her forehead,trying to soothe the aching.
Her eyes swept around her surroundings,her nostrils taking in the scent of flowers and old book.
Luciana was in a small apartment,her eyes surveyed her surroundings from the small soft bed she was laid on to the plain white curtains,doing an awful job in hiding the sun,to the shelves of books scatted around the room.
Luciana had no idea where she was
"You're in my study and I'm here to help you"Charlotte soft voice echoed through the room
"How could you possibly help me?" Luciana's eye brows knotted in confusion as her eyes studied the lady seated beside her.
Luciana and charlotte had a brief encounter when Luciana found a picture on Facebook with charlotte clinging to Andrea.
Luciana knew charlotte would be of great help to her and she was.
It wasn't an hassle finding charlotte since she had her whole life posted on Facebook.
Luciana reached out to charlotte and explained everything to her,Luciana promised charlotte a huge sum of a million dollars.
Luciana was certain charlotte would help her since a million dollars was such a huge amount for a low life like charlotte.
Charlotte helped Luciana with a picture of Bianca and a backstory to patch everything up and Andrea fell right into it.
Luciana felt a tad sorry for Andrea,the poor girl probably though charlotte was her most trusted friend.
But even trust can be crumbled by money.
"We have a common enemy and I know you want to get rid of her as much as i do" Charlotte explained,her voice dripping with intensity and hatred
"What's the plan?"Luciana asked
Charlotte face lit up with excitement at the sound of Luciana's words,she knew Luciana would give in to her plans but she didn't know,it would be this easy.
"The plan is simple. Andrea dies and you get Liam"
The mention of death jolted Luciana's mind back to her father,images of him laying lifeless on the small mattress of the hospital bed made her eyes well up with tears.
Her father was gone and he's never coming back.
She's never going to see his clenched jawline or blue eyes again.
But No,she wouldn't cry anymore,she was a strong lady and she needed to move on and cross the next step of her life.
Luciana lost her only family but she would create a better family with Liam and they would have cute kids running around the house.
Luciana finally had all her father's property and nothing would stop her from making Liam Walton hers.
"And what's in it for you?"Luciana asked with a raised eye brow
Luciana was very familiar with low life's like Charlotte and Luciana knows for a fact that charlotte would never help her freely.
Charlotte stood up from the chair and made her way to seat on the bed beside Luciana
"Money,I want 50 percent of all your father's properties"Charlotte blurted
Luciana couldn't believe her ears,giving out 50 percent of her father's properties was outrageous.
Luciana would have to share her father's companies and shares into half and she didn't like the sound of that.
"Are you out of your mind? That's too much" Luciana exclaimed
Charlotte's lips curved into a sly smile as she spoke,her eyes never leaving Luciana's eyes.
"You're Luciana Vince,the most beautiful model in Los Angeles,giving me half of your father's property after marrying the wealthiest bachelor in Los Angeles won't change your status,mrs Walton"Charlotte explained
Charlotte knew women like Luciana,all charlotte needed was to pull the right strings and she would have Luciana right where she wants her
Luciana thought all charlotte wanted was money but charlotte wanted more.
Luciana and charlotte were both playing a dangerous games and they were both unaware of their hidden agenda.
Luciana has no intention in splitting her father's wealth with charlotte. Luciana's plan was to use charlotte to get to Andrea and after Luciana marries Liam Walton,she would dispose charlotte like the trash she is.
"Allies?" Luciana pointed a finger in front of charlotte and charlotte took into with a smile invading her lips.
"Allies" The word rolled off Charlotte's lips as she disengaged from the shake.
The cracking sound of the door caught their attention as a small body entered the room.
"Charlotte,I know you can hear me,we need to talk"
