Chapter 8 Leave this abode

The house keeper rapped on the door slowly to get Liana seating lifelessly on the sofa opposite the bed

She sniffed inhaling the fragrant scent that filled the room

"Ma'am Liana, you need to leave to the dinning for your breakfast... it's already dished ", she revealed the reason for her coming

Liana stared at her flaccidly...if only the housekeeper could read her mind, she would get that there isn't a dime strength in her

"Where's my husband ? "

" She's downstairs ma'am, precisely, he's the one that sent for you ", the young lady replied gesturing

She tried getting up from the sofa but found it tough

A resounding hiss echoed in the room

"You can get my breakfast here... getting downstairs is like a big deal to me okay ", she ordered the housekeeper who acceded and left the room

Right in the dinning, she made Fredo be aware of Liana's response to his message

He became frightened that his spoon fell off his palm

" Hope her eyes are wide open ? ", His shaky voice passed through her ears

She nodded, " just that she feels vulnerable and it's vivid on her "

"Ok then, take the food... I'm coming with you right away ", he ordered her

Mrs Lolita bit her lips in deep anger, it's kinda annoying to her that Liana isn't present with them as usual

"And where are you taking the dishes to ? ", Mrs Lolita sputtered quenching the housekeeper's movement

She flicked her head backwards in a panic

" To ma'am Liana, she's so weak to step downstairs....

"To hell with everything concerning Liana... housekeeper, drop the food right here now ", her hoarse voice screeched to the hearing of everyone

Fredo glanced at the Young lady and then his mum, he couldn't get the reason behind the scene

"Mother, what's going on ? Liana is my wife or have you forgotten that already ? Enough of this drama, Liana needs to take her breakfast..."

"Then she needs to join us here, besides... we dine altogether... isn't it ? ", Lolita widened her eyes

Vilfred licked her lips, actually he finds nothing meaningful in the quarell

"Yes, we do dine together but all this days Liana hasn't been herself. Mother, she needs to be taken care of..."

An annoying smile appeared on Mrs Lolita's face while she stared at the housekeeper who has been under tension

"And you want me to do that right ? Taking care of Liana after she lost my granddaughter... only if you understand Maricar's position in this family,you will not take her disappearance for granted...."

Brows knitted in agony. He winked letting tears roll down his cheek

" I am not happy that I lost my daughter mother, but I can't discard Liana off my life because I believe another child is on the way. With the researches going on, my daughter will be back "

The slight cough from behind drew everyone's attention

Giberto glanced at Fredo, he couldn't help but wipe his face

" Vilfredo... Vilfredo ", Mr Antonio called him out

He stiffened at a place without giving a response

" Housekeeper, I'm sending for Liana ", Mr Antonio ordered

The housekeeper made several moves towards the stairs to get Liana stepping down gradually

" Ma'am, do you need a helping hand ? "

" Oh no ! Thank you so much, I'm okay ", she replied while stepping down the stairs flaccidly

" Your emotions will never push me to changing my mind from the actions I'm about to take...not even your drop of tears will do it ", Mr Antonio remarked glaring at Liana

Fredo swiveled his neck facing him, " what action are you about to take dad ? Hope it isn't going to affect me in anyway ? "

" Don't dare question your father's order or you'll have to rust in jail ", Mrs Lolita stated to Fredo's hearing

He stood mouth agape staring at his mother

" Emeliana, I can't keep you under my shield anymore ", Mr Antonio stated with eyes narrowed

The words resounded in Liana's ear, she stared at Fredo while tears gathered in her eyes

" I know it's all my fault, but please have mercy ",was all that flowed out of her esophagus

She got on her knees in deep pain

"I've tried my best to make sure my daughter is back but all to no avail. The bounty hunters including the military officers are tired of searching... she's nowhere to be found ", Mr Antonio narrated

Giberto sighed deeply, " father, you need to keep calm for now, things will be in order soon... it's just a matter of time "

"Get off this Matter Gibert, I'll never step down on my words ", Mr Antonio remarked

He left them all upstairs without sparing them just a glance

" Mother, you need to help me out this time, please, don't let this befall me. I beg of you ", Fredo gripped her palm pleading amidst tears

Emeliana couldn't utter a word anymore, she only let the tears roll down her cheeks uncontrollably

" Fredo, I need my granddaughter back, that's all ", Mrs Lolita persisted in her words

Giberto watched his wife shed tears alongside with Liana, he made sure to enclose his face with his palm

" Emeliana, you aren't just poor...but wretched and careless. You made me loose my granddaughter attributed to your carelessness. Leave the Zoren's family or I'll make sure you rust in jail....you don't deserve to leave under this roof neither do you suit being with my son ", Mr Antonio remarked while stepping to the dinning

Fredo shifted, " but father, we're legally married and you all supported us "

" That was then, Vilfredo... come back to your senses or I'll help you do that myself ", Mrs Lolita yelled to his hearing

He bursted out in tears, " don't kick Liana out of my life father...she means the whole world to me "

" That's just how Maricar meant the world to me and now Maricar isn't in this family anymore.... Emeliana must leave this abode.. that's my order ", Mr Antonio concluded

He stepped towards Emeliana tapping her shoulder, " go upstairs, get all your belongings.... you're leaving Instantly ", he ordered her with a chiseled face

Liana held his foot in agony, her tears filled the floor

She pleaded pitifully for forgiveness but Mr Antonio couldn't spare her a glance

While she held him firmly on his foot, he found it tough to step away from him

Giberto watched his brother as he fell on the floor like a child pleading for his father's consideration

He got a hit on his cheek on trying yo hold his father

Mrs Lolita dragged Liana upwards pushing her towards the stairs aggressively

The loud sounds of cries filled the room

Emeliana left bitterly to her room, slowly she got her belongings together

Her eyes caught the mirror she strode towards it to get the Zoren's clothing still on her

"Liana, have this clothing on, this is so specially made for the Zoren's. With this clothing on you, there isn't any further explanation of yourself to people ", she reflected on the past voice of her mother in-law

On that day, Mrs Lolita handed over to her countless clothings of same design and color

Gradually,she pulled off the wear concluding that she isn't part of the family anymore

She stepped into the bathroom to get her face washed

In the process, her palm touched the red glittering medal on her neck that is rarely seen

She reminiscenced on the day Fredo had it on her,he had ordered her not to get it off her neck

A sorrowful smile appeared on her face

"Anywhere you are Maricar, I believe this medal is still on you...bear it on please, it reveals that you're part of the Zoren's family ", she murmured amidst tears

Within minutes,she was found downstairs with her luggages

Fredo was gripped backwards as she attempted to make a move towards her

" Who the hell are you holding me back ? Let go of me, it isn't a crime meeting my wife ", he yelled out in anger and pains

Giberto couldn' bear it anymore that he left the scene with his wife

"Emeliana, you're banished from my family... feel free to go back to the street, I believe Fredo met you there ", Mr Antonio ordered

Liana couldn't stop sobbing,are legs are weak due to hunger

"Let me the heartbeat of my husband for the last time please I beg of you ", she pleaded while her knees on the ground

Fredo fought with his whole strength to get off the huge palms but found it difficult

" For no reason would you ever refer Fredo as your husband, the both of you aren't made to be ", Mrs Lolita stated dragging her alongside with her luggages

Before Liana could leave the doorpost, Fredo was tied up that his vision because blurred and he couldn't make a move

Liana left the compound completely to an isolated place far away from the residence....

There,she slept off

******

"Housekeeper, housekeeper come clean up the dinning now ", Mrs Lolita ordered

The young lady stepped into the dinning to get Fredo tied to a chair and his parents staring at him

She had witnessed all that had happened from behind and had considered it to be out of ignorance by the parents

Gibert strode towards them with his face contorted, " maybe you think the action you took is the best dad.. but you know, when you follow things serially, you get a better result "

" What do you mean son ? ", Mr Antonio enquired

He ignored the question trying his best to untie the ropes used on Fredo

"Gibert , where's Liana ? I need her right here ", Fredo referred to his brother after he felt his body free from the rope

He found it tough to give an answer to that question, thinking of directing the question to his parents

He swallowed deeply

" I threw her out, relax your nerves okay ", Mr Antonio remarked

He laid out a loud hiss

" You tied me up so you can throw her out right ? Then you'll find no peace here "

The feelings within him turned out to be more darker

On taking the first move, he felt his feet tied up that he couldn't hold up himself anymore

The loud Hit of his forehead on the table rang in their ear that the caught him collapsed on the floor
