The aroma of freshly grilled chicken,spread softly through the dinning room.
The tension in the room was palpable,sound of plates and fork rattling wafted through the atmosphere.
"The food is really nice"charlotte praised,cutting another piece of chicken into her mouth and shooting Luciana a huge smile
Luciana returned her smile.
Andrea watched as Luciana and Charlotte chattered and laughed as they ate and she couldn't help the pit that expanded in her stomach.
Even though,Andrea was dressed nicely in a red glittery,off shoulder dinner gown adorned with gold jewelries,her hair packed into a high ponytail,few strands framing her face,her red lip stick matching her outfit.
Andrea looked absolutely stunning even with Charlotte's short purple flared dress and Luciana's black dinner gown and heavy makeup. Andrew stood out as the most beautiful.
"Where is Liam?"Luciana asked,her eyes scanning the door.
Andrea head shot up at the sound of Liam's name,her eyes turning to the door but it was closed.
After the kiss Andrea and Liam shared,Liam dropped Andrea off at home,without saying a word to her and it made her thoughts skyrocket.
Questions she had no answers to kept blazing in her head.
Was the kiss bad?
Was she a terrible kisser?
Could Liam had lost interest in her?
To Andrea,the kiss was magical and mind blowing,it unlocked desires she never knew she had.
Liam's thin lips was as soft as cotton candy, Andrea felt heat bloom between her thighs as she tangled her fingers in Liam's hair,deepening the kiss,his tongue exploring hers in harmony.
The memory brought a blush to Andrea's cheek but things felt so awkward after she got the message from Charlotte inviting them to dinner.
Andrea couldn't understand why Luciana was having a dinner date when she had just lost her father.
Even though,Luciana had been nothing but nice to Andrea,Andrea couldn't look pass the fact that Luciana was the one who laid those accusations against her,Luciana was the one who made her lose her job.
But Luciana was also misunderstood and she found out Luciana was her old friend back in school who faked her name as Bianca.
Andrea couldn't stay anger with Luciana especially now,that Luciana needed a shoulder to lean on.
"He's on his way" Andrea lies,shooting Charlotte and Luciana a toothy smile as they both continued their conversation on who's the hottest girl in the model magazines.
Andrea had no idea,if Liam would be joking them tonight or not because after Andrea showed him the text,he simply nodded,leading Andrea back into the car without a word.
Andrea fished for her phone inside her purse and Billionaire on the screen with urgency,Liam's digits popped up and a smile covered her lips as she sent Liam a message.
'Hey,are you by any chance planning to bless us with you presence today?"
Andrea clicked send
Almost immediately a beep came from Andrea phone
"Is my angel missing me already?"
The message read,making Andrea's smile widen
"Don't flatter yourself,I only texted because Luciana won't stop asking about you"
Another beep came from Andrea's phone
"Whatever you say Angel,see you in five"
Andrea slipped her phone back into her purse,her eyes scanning the food on her plate,Andrea loved chicken and rice but something about the food in front of her was off.
The food smelt mouthwatering but she felt unease at the sight of it.
"You don't like chicken?"Luciana asked,her brown eyes scanning Andrea, her disgust was poorly hidden across her scrunched up face
To Luciana,Andrea was an obstacle she had to overcome to get to Liam,Andrea was nothing but a lowlife who had managed to captivate Liam's attention and for as long as Luciana lives,she would rather stab herself in the throat than to see Andrea end up with Liam.
Liam belonged to Luciana. Even the first letters of their names says it all.
Tonight's dinner was a bait to bring in Liam.
Luciana and charlotte had a perfectly sculpted plan and they were certain nothing could go wrong.
The plan was simple: Luciana and charlotte infused a small amount of Suxamethonium into Andrea's food.
Suxamethonium (also known as succinylcholine) is a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent used primarily to induce muscle relaxation and paralysis during anesthesia or rapid sequence intubation.
A small amount of Suxamethonium would ensure Andrea's body is paralyzed for months.
After much planning,Luciana decided,she didn't want to give Andrea an easy death,Luciana wanted to give Andrea a pain filled and unbearable death.
Luciana wanted to see Andrea cry,the same way she did when Liam neglected her,Luciana wanted to see the hurt and tears rolling down Andrea's cheeks as she watches Luciana get married to Liam then after that,Luciana would end Andrea's life along side with her pathetic friend,charlotte.
"N…"
Andrea's voice trailed off, the automatic doors slid open with a soft whoosh cutting Andrea off.
Liam took slow steps inside,in his hand was a bouquet of roses and a heart shaped box.
A smirk plastered on his lips as he hastened his steps towards Andrea.
Liam's palms were sweaty,in all Liam's thirty years of existence,he had never done anything like this for a lady.
Liam made sure to make the nicest bouquet of roses in the flower shop,he then went to a jewelry store and picked the most beautiful necklace,he had ever set his eyes on just for Andrea.
After the kiss Liam shared with Andrea,his mind had been all over the place,he couldn't live another day without confessing his love to Andrea.
Liam had been waiting for the perfect time,he wanted to do it at the lake but he decided against thinking it might be too early.
This dinner gave him the perfect chance
Liam stood in front of Andrea,her blue eyes scanning his black ones,a mix of confusion and excitement blazing through Andrea's eyes.
Liam placed the boutique of roses gently on Andrea's legs,kneeling on one kneel,he took Andrea's hand into his.
"This past few months with you,have been nothing short but amazing,you bring out the best in me,you see the light in me when everyone else sees the wealth. With you,I feel free. With you,I feel alive. Please make me the happiest man on earth and be my girlfriend?"
