Chapter 2 Life in the new Kent Mansion

The first few weeks seemed to go on well for Liana Kent. Mark's family seemed too busy searching for something that kept them a bit away from her. Unfortunately, Candi and Liana went to the same school and no one could ever guess they were from the same house. Candi was a total wanker and never crossed ways with Liana. She carried within her an air of confidence that made her indistinct and mind blowing. Liana never bothered though.

However Candi started feeling jealous when she slowly started to learn that Liana never advertised to grab attention but instead it was the reverse.

A month had already gone by swiftly in the Kent Mansion, Liana had already started adopting to the life conditions she was being subjected too. Mark had defenestrated her in her own house and she now understood that she could be thrown out at anytime they wished. He had now taken control of the companies.

Liana moved inside and found a man trying to break through Madeline's door, Uncle Mark stood closely besides him.

" I think this is the only place left. The documents must be inside this room." Uncle Mark said and Liana stopped dead still in the hallway. Did she get that well?

" This means Mark has always been searching for a document... What could it be? "Liana thought and it now came clearer to her. Mark had only come to take care of her in order to take control. " This can't be. I hope Chris will keep his promise." She almost said it allowed and Mark would have bumped on her as he turned in the hallway.

" What are you doing here, spying on me?"

" No uncle, l..."

" Shut up!" Mark interjected." Go and lock yourself in your room and don't let me see you till tomorrow."

Huh?!

It was hardly five o'clock in the evening but she was already issued an ultimatum. Instead of crying, she was jubilating. This was a Golden chance handed over to her on a silver plate. She moved straight to the mirror and started applying her make up. Unfortunately, she forgot to lock the door behind her.

The meddlesome Candi who is always looking for trouble bulged inside the room. Liana got so scared and dropped her comb on the floor. Noticing it was Candi, she sighed.

" What do you want?" She asked.

Huh! Which guy is taking you out today? You seem so busy trying to mend your ugly face. That guy must be blind. Candi mocked

" Please Candi, I don't want to have problems with you. I am already having enough. Uncle just gave me a punishment to lock myself in here and sleep...." Liana said as she moved next to her bed.

" Oohhh! That's interesting. I am so precious to waste my time on unfortunate people like you. If you may pardon me," Candi said as she made her way out of Liana's room.

Oh my God! Liana sighed and sped up, smiling broadly and lost in thoughts.

Candi moved and then stopped once, " going on bed with a make up on, that is odd," Candi thought, " something is fishy here, something is not right. Liana had never applied make up and she rarely did. Why today? I have to find out." She started back to Liana's room making all thoughts of trouble she could bring out.

Meanwhile in Liana's room, she finished applying the make up. She appeared like an angel that had just fallen. Her one piece dress exposed almost all her attractive curves which could make even a saint drool. She hated the way she looked and took a big hood jumper and put them on hiding all the attractive curves. Liana glanced at her watch and it was already time which Chris had stated.

She moved to her window and glanced out. Fortunate enough, Chris had parked already on the other side of the road. Liana felt a rush of excitement cross through her. Chris looked at her and smiled tapping on his wrist indicating time. Liana couldn't help but smile back.

She now had to move down fast and this is where she remembered the secret passage in her room that only her and Madeline knew about. In less than a minute, she was already on the other side of the road.

Hello. She said with her most shrilling voice.

" Yes Ma'am, how may I help you?" Chris said with head still buried on his wrist watch.

" We need to get going."

Chris slowly lifted his head up, " no this is impossible. You can't be down by now, did you just jump from the stairs to the ground floor?" He asked.

" Please, I am in one piece and I didn't come for interrogation. Get going." Liana said and entered the car. Chris just shook his head and beamed.

He drove and stopped at one of the biggest hotels in the city.

" Why are you stopping?" Liana asked.

" This one of your father's hotels and his favorite. He nicknamed it Kentline, though it is pronounced as Kent-line. We could hang around come on." Chris said as he helped Liana out of the car and they entered inside the hotel and ordered meals at the VIP.

This can't be real.

" It was, anyway you are right. I was a bit late. We lost. Mark will sign the ownership tomorrow and we can't stop it now." Chris said deep in thoughts but Liana was not bothered.

" There is no way to stop that unless I am someone." Liana said strong and immediately broke down on Chris shoulders. Chris started comforting her but just a touch sent sparks of fire inside him. He sensed Liana wasn't the one outside, she hid most of herself in her dressings.

" Everything will be okay." Chris said

" Yeah, I want to go to the movies." Chris was surprised by the sudden change in Liana.

" Are you sure you want to go to the movies?"

" Well, if you can't take me there, then I will take a taxi," Liana threatened trying to pull herself away.

Wait! Of course, I was heading to the movies but I didn't think you liked movies. I thought right now you would be engaged in your practice for the music contest. Chris said as he drove off to the movies.

" Wait, where did you get that from?"

" I know you won last year's contest and was beaten in the quarter-finals in the international level qualifiers, I could say." Chris explained, " but you could have won that guy in the mask. I didn't like him."

Stop. You mean to say you know everything about me. Liana inquired furious.

" Not really, nobody knew you were the boss's daughter. And I didn't know that girl was you. You looked super hot." Chris answered

" Hey Mr. Man, I didn't say we should come and flirt."

" Oh sorry, I... I.. didn't mean, mean to upset you." Chris said carefully as he pulled over and they entered inside the cinema hall.

Meanwhile at home, immediately Liana left, Candi entered her room only to be greeted by an empty bed. She searched everywhere but couldn't find Liana. She decided to play cool and wait for Liana's return as she couldn't figure out how Liana was able to make it out. It was coming to ten o'clock in the night when she saw a car pulling. That spectacle she couldn't miss, she got her phone and zoomed in on Liana and took a shot but the face of the guy couldn't be seen. She wanted to see the face of the guy but he drove off. Liana moved and noticed a disturbance on the ribbon she had tied on her window. This meant someone had entered her room. Trying to focus, she noticed Candi's face following each and every step she took. She couldn't make that mistake to use the secret passage so she moved straight to the main door and fortunate enough it was still open. She entered inside only to find everyone in the living room waiting for her. She ignored them and was moving away like a cat caught in the act.

Stop!

Liana stopped and turned to start answering the questions that would follow.

" Where are you from? Am I under your rule that you just move out anytime you feel like." Mark questioned.

" Dad she has begun moving out with men. Look at this!" Candi said as she showed the photo she had taken.

Mark was so surprised .

" Is that what you have started doing in my own house? Lock her in the basement and give her a meal a day if you wish." Mark commanded.

Own house? Liana marked as she was being ushered into the basement. Mark had robbed her off her own father's house and now was busy trying to rob her off her rights. This showed the dark future she held.
