He was looking at me seriously. 

I didn't know what to say. 

Don't wait for him there, not now. 

But one thing is for sure, I know it wouldn't be a welcome conversation. 

It's hard to say when we've had a decent conversation. 

I look at him more closely. 

Liam hasn't changed much except his hair is a little longer and his right arm is covered in tattoos.

Devin entered the room and sat on the couch, he gave me a half smile and I returned it.

- Why didn't you send for me? 

– Liam asked getting my attention.

I looked at him and smiled.

- Everything is under control.

- They stole half my shipment. 

- He looked at me so deeply. 

- And 1 billion of my money. 

I believe that in less than a day things are not under control. 

– Liam says in a low and menacing voice.

Holy crap! 

How does he know.

- Liam, I'm solving everything. 

How did you know about this? 

My curiosity got the better of me.

Liam chuckled. 

I felt a chill down my spine.

- Leon himself was pleased to inform me. 

He lazily ran his tongue over his lips. 

- I just didn't know you would be so stupid to let that happen.

Liam is angry and this conversation is too light for the Liam I know. 

Why are you controlling yourself? 

But I was not shaken by his words. 

Like I said, he's still taking it easy.

- Dude, it wasn't her fault. 

– Devin says trying to defend me.

Liam didn't look away from him, he kept looking at me. 

He seemed to stop himself from cursing me right there. 

Before he started talking I took the front.

- Someone betrayed us...

Liam started clapping.

- Look, now that she was realizing this people. 

– He made fun of me.

Calm down, Luna. 

It doesn't match him.

- Leon, tried several times ends with us...

- And this time you did it? 

– Leon asked frowning. 

- With his incompetence he almost made it, but I'm here and for sure things will work out.

- Are you by any chance regretting putting me in charge?

I didn't realize when it happened, but we were already face to face and as usual none of us would back down.

- As much as they talk about me putting a woman in charge, it was the worst thing I did. 

Liam examined my face. 

- No, I'm not sorry. 

But as I bet your nights with Zac must have affected your mind...

- It is not his fault...

- Have you become a sold bitch now?

I could keep quiet and just take orders because I work for him anyway, but always when it comes to him I get out of control. 

Because with Liam, you can't help but be angry and want to go after him. 

Many are not crazy to do this, but I...

- SHUT UP, LIAM! 

- He wasn't surprised by my outburst. 

- YOU DON'T NEED TO BE HERE. 

YOU CAN LEAVE. 

I PROMISED YOU TO KEEP YOUR EMPIRE EVEN IF I HAVE TO DIE. 

SO SINCERELY EVERYTHING WAS MUCH BETTER WITHOUT YOU HERE. 

– I screamed every word, they just left.

I was panting, I didn't wait for Liam or anyone else to say something and head upstairs. 

My room. 

I need to go to my room. 

As soon as I entered, I slammed the door and went towards the window, opening it for the air to enter and I stayed there to try to calm down. 

Which I find difficult to do.

- Who does he think he is? 

– I told myself.

- I'm Liam Frey, the biggest drug dealer in Atlanta and New York and we can't forget that I'm very hot. 

– Liam says convinced.

I hadn't noticed he'd entered the room. 

I was supposed to have locked the door. 

I didn't care to look at him. 

Smell of him, his damn scent took over my room. I felt Liam approach and hug me from behind, he runs his nose along my neck smelling my scent. 

I hate that way of him. 

Liam is a son of a bitch treating me badly in front of others, showing he's the boss, but behind closed doors it's all different. 

He hadn't changed unfortunately he was still the same.

Leaving his arms and walking across the room, Liam isn't going to distract me, not at all.

- Luh, stop it... I miss you - Liam said sly.

- Longing? 

– I had to laugh. 

“You finished me down there.

Liam rolled his eyes and lay down on my house.

- You should be used to it by now. 

- He puts his hands behind his head. 

- It's not because I put you in charge that I won't treat you like them.

That hurt! 

It hurt a lot. 

As always I kept it to myself and preferred to change the subject.

- Soon I'll have Leon's location. 

- I look at any point in the room. 

Feeling an enormous urge to kill Leon. 

- This time I was thinking about getting it over with, he's the only rotten meat that bothers us.

- Relax...

- No, Liam.

- Luna, I have several problems to solve and Leon is not a big one. 

So don't worry, okay?

- You made that scandal down there for nothing? 

- I look at him indignantly.

- You were the one who made the scandal. 

- He shrugs. 

- As I said, don't worry. 

You go to New York and you lead there and I take care of things here. 

- He smiled.

WHAT ?

- I'm not going to New York, I'm staying here! 

Jon will be able to lead there...

- Jon, it's not there. 

He came with me.

- Who stayed there taking care of your business?

- Angelica.

It had to be. 

Angelica is a whore that Liam insisted on taking with him to New York. 

She would be a problem here since we don't get along at all.

- You really are an idiot to let her take care, Liam.

- So you go there and take care of everything!

- No!

- Luna, this mansion is mine, you are mine and do what I say.

- I'm not yours...

- How about we talk about service later? 

– Liam got out of bed and came to me – I really miss you. 

I haven't seen you for 3 years. 

And seeing it only at a party, just once is boring.

He caressed my face and I closed my eyes feeling the sensation. 

I mentally cursed myself for that. 

Why does it always have to be this way? 

Why does he always have to be like this? 

If Liam kisses me now I know we're going to have sex and it's going to be like 3 years ago the same routine and I don't want to. 

Liam will never be mine, but I don't always want to be his second choice.

I knew how to make him pull away and focus on the subject or get totally angry. 

I opened my eyes.

- Zac, will help me find Zayn.

- What? 

– He asked and walked away.

Okay, I'm out of the woods for now.

- I said everything was under control. 

- I give an innocent smile.

Liam sat on my bed and ran a hand over his face then through his hair. 

Liam always hated Zac, I don't know why, but I never asked either of them either. 

It's their problem, they understand each other. 

I wouldn't get involved.

- What did he want in return? 

His voice was so low I could barely hear it.

- One night with me.

I didn't try to hide it. 

Liam knew I slept with Zac a few times. 

I felt Liam's hand on my neck, my eyes widened feeling him squeeze my throat, Liam threw me on the bed still holding me and laid on top of me.

- You don't understand, do you? 

- Liam says laughing, but his voice was low.

- Li-Liam... You're... Hurting me...

He was releasing his fingers from my neck very slowly and luckily I started to feel the air back. 

Liam was still on top of me and buried his face in my neck inhaling my scent. 

As if everything he's feeling will pass. 

My eyes were teary and I accidentally let a tear escape.

Liam kissed my neck.

- Sorry, Lou…

He couldn't finish talking. 

With the knee I gave him I only heard his grunt of pain. 

I push him off my bed.

- Leaves! 

- Liam is on the floor with his hands between his legs. 

- Now! 

- Shout.

With difficulties Liam leaves my room.
