"What do you mean you can't move to London, I thought you wanted a future with me" Liam yelled, his voice echoing through the room as he pulled the sheets off his body and got off the bed
"I do but moving to London is absurd"
"Absurd? Signing every penny in your name was absurd but I did it anyway" Liam yelled, his voice louder than the last.
After last night, he thought this morning would be the perfect time to tell Andrea about London, he was so excited to tell her but her reaction was unexpected, she didn't seem happy or excited and that raised questions, questions he had no answers to.
Doesn't she love him enough?
Doesn't she see a future with him?
Doesn't she want a family with him?
"Wow Liam, Wow. If you had a problem with signing your properties in my name, why didn't you just say so?" Andrea asked, taking a deep breath as she got off the bed, walking towards Liam
Once in front of him, she took his huge hands into her tiny ones as she spoke. " we are moving too fast, I don't want you doing something you would regret"
Andrea tried to reason with him but he was blinded by his thoughts.
Liam had never felt the way he feels for Andrea towards anyone, she was special and he wanted to move things as quickly as he could before she changes her mind because he believes she's too good for him and might soon start to realize it
"I would never regret anything with you in my life" Liam reassured, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder
"After last night, I don't think we should be fighting, let's just take a deep breath and call a truce" Andrea traced his face with her fingers, her eyes admiring his features.
He looks so good when he wakes up, his hair is scattered all over his head, his eyes are narrowed
Her eyes went further down to his chest, he wasn't wearing a shirt, Andrea looked away immediately her eyes met his, a blush creeping in
"I'm all yours princess, don't shy away" Liam raised her chin up, giving him a clear view of her tomato red cheeks, she looked so adorable like a little child who was just caught taking candy
"I'm not shy, I'm bold" Andrea blurted, taking a step closer to Liam, her eyes fixed on his as her hand wandered around his chest
"In fact, I'll show you how brave I am" Her hand went lower and into his sweat pants, her eyes widened when her hands connected with something veiny and hard, her hand froze unsure of what to do
All the courage from earlier had vanished replaced with a blush filled face
"I'm waiting to see how brave you are. Andrea" her name rolled off his lips smoothly and she wish he would say it again
She removed her hand, burying her face in his chest, embarrassment cursing through her veins
"My br…" His voice trailed off, as a blood curdling scream pierced the air
Their legs took them to where the scream came from…Eve was laying lifelessly on the floor, her skin pale, her eyes shut and her mouth dry and hanging opened while Lucas was seated beside her, loud sobs erupting from his throat
"You promised forever" More tears spilled down his eyes as he pulled her tightly to his body
A ping of guilt pinged through Andrea's chest but it disappeared as soon as it came, she was glad to see the poison she put in Eve's food earlier had worked.
Eve had never offended her and she would have spread her life if she hadn't made the mistake of picking a fight with Liam.
Yesterday, Eve made Liam feel bad, she made him feel like a murderer, she made him feel unworthy of life and she couldn't seat and do nothing about that.
Earlier, she watched as Eve made toast and milk for herself so she decided to spice it up with a little bit of carbon monoxide.
If the cops come and investigate, they would fail to detect what killed her and they would conclude it was due to a result of lung disease or extreme amount of stress.
"What happened?" Liam asked, his mouth hung opened as he watched the scene in front of him
At the sound of Liam's baritone voice, Lucas face went red with rage, his hands balled into fist, his eyes shot up as he gently placed his wife on the floor and matched in front of Liam, his finger pointing towards Liam
"You did this" Lucas yelled, "You wanted revenge so bad, you killed her" he yelled, his voice cracking with pain
"Eve was family, I would never do such a thing, she must still be breathing, let's take her to an hospital" Liam tried to take a step towards Eve but was pushed away by Lucas
"Stop acting like a scent, you killed her and I'll have you spend the rest of your miserable life behind bars"
"Lucas, this is not the time to be fighting, we need to take her to an hospital right now" Liam advised, his eyes glued on Eve
"Why did you do it?" Lucas voice roared through the room, his eyes glossy with tears as he took a step closer to Liam, his hands rolled into fist ready to deliver a punch
"I didn't do it, I would never do anything to hurt Ev…"
A hard blow landed on his face, the taste of blood running through his mouth
"Keep her name out of your mouth"
"I understand you're angry but we should be trying t…"
Another punch landed on his face making him stagger backwards, Andrea immediately steps in, her tiny hands trying to push Lucas away but it was to no avail as he angrily pushed her away
A fist connected with his face making him drop to the floor
"Keep your hands off my girl" Liam warned, running to help Andrea up
Liam pushes himself up, ready to launch at Liam but the sound of coughs made him stop dead in his tracks
"That's enough please" Alex pleaded, coughs erupting from his throat
"Can I've just one day when the two of you get along?" Alex asked, his eyebrows furrowed deeply.
"The doctor is on is way" Alex announced settling on a chair.
…
"She's dead, so is her pulse and heart, I'm sorry for your loss" The doctor packed his stethoscope back into the small bag beside him
"Why? Do something? She can't die" Lucas yelled in the doctor's face, hot tears dripping down his eyes
"I'm sorry sir but there's nothing more I can do, her stress rates were too high and it weakened her heart" the doctor explained
Andrea bit her cheeks to avoid the smile that was forming on her face, she couldn't be smiling in a time like this, they would suspect her and she couldn't have that.
Lucas collapsed to his kneels, sobs filling the air
What a drama queen. Andrea thought to herself as she nudged Liam to go towards him
"I'm so sorry, I'm still in shock"
Liam always saw Eve as the loud mouth who always used all her money to support Lucas gambling instead of encouraging him to stop, she was a sorry excuse for a woman, she always said things without putting thoughts into them but she was still Lucas wife and even though, Liam disliked her, she was still his brother's wife and her death affected him in ways he couldn't explain
"Don't touch me, you killed her" Lucas yanked Liam's hand off his shoulder
"No, he didn't, Liam would never do such a thing so stop blaming him for your wife's death" Andrea snapped
She'd enough of Lucas's rubbish, she won't seat and watch him throw accusations on an innocent person and besides she only gave him what he deserved.
With the amount of slaps and punches she had received from him, she never thought he had a heart but now, watching him cry over his wife, she realizes he has one but it only beats for his dead wife, Eve.
"And what do you know?" Lucas snapped back, his eyes throwing daggers at her
"It's advised we take her to the mortuary" the doctor's broke the tension hung between Lucas angry eyes and Andrea's calm ones
"Liam, help me carry her to the car" Alex said, walking towards Lucas
"You can't take her away from me, I won't let you" Lucas yelled but was held in place by Liam, he tried to wiggle his way out of Liam's grip but it was to no avail.
He watched his beloved being carried but his father and the doctor, Liam only let him go when they were out of sight, he tried to run after them but was dragged back
"Stay here with him"
With that said, Liam walked out the door, his back disappearing out of the house leaving a sobbing Lucas and a smiling Andrea.
"I never thought this day would come" A chuckled escaped her mouth as her eyes wandered around the house.
She didn't notice before but it was a beautiful house, with it's blue walls and nice leather furniture
"What're you talking about?" Liam asked, his face laced with confusion
"Isn't it obvious enough? You want me to spell it out?" Andrea asked, spotting a gold ear ring on the floor and picking it up
Must have fallen off Eve's ear
"What're you saying?"
"I killed her, i poisoned her with carbon monoxide, I must say, your wife is quiet weak, she couldn't even fight the poison tsk tsk tsk"
"You did what?"
A voice roared from the door grabbing both their attention, his face pale with terror.
