The Second Life Liliana
Chapter 49. Not the second one
When asked by her father-in-law about the events on the ship during Adaire's honeymoon and her. Arsen's heart was pounding, his heart was racing faster.
Questions that contain suspicion, make Arsen choked on the fact that he was also involved with the Adaire murder incident. Although not directly and all that through the hands of Adara. The one who poisoned and stabbed Adaire with a dagger was his own sister.
Why did my father-in-law ask about this?
"Arsen, why are you quiet? Did Adaire really fall off the ship or did Adara harm her?" duke Geraldine asked as she watched the dreamy man.
Glug
Arsen swallowed the saliva, he was still with his mind. It had to be how he answered Duke Geraldine's question, her father-in-law. "Dad, Adaire actually fell down by herself while she was boarding the deck of the ship," Arsen replied without any nervousness at all.
Look, it's better if I talk about Adaire's death being caused by Adara alone. I will be threatened and my name will be taken. Better find it safe to cover it all up, hoping that my father-in-law doesn't suspect me anymore.
"Is that really so?" duke Geraldine asked still in doubt as to what Arsen had said.
"Yes dad, that's right. But, why did you suddenly ask him again?" asked Arsen in a polite voice.
"After everything that happened, especially about Adara. He's been blocking Adaire a lot, how can I not be suspicious of him who might be able to do more than that" Duke Geraldine explained honestly.
Well, there's no way Adara's gonna kill Adaire. But, why do I feel like Arsen lied to me?
"Dad, I know Adara. Maybe Adara's attitude is a little childish and outrageous, but it seems unlikely that Adara will kill," Arsen defended his wife to secure his position as well.
"No way how? He had even poisoned Adaire during his life, trying to harm her many times. There is still a possibility for it all" said Duke Geraldine who was also upset because of the fact about Adara being evil to Adaire. Not bad anymore, but already criminal.
"I beg you, my only father's daughter is Adara. Adara is also my wife, I beg you to release Adara!" pinta Arsen bowing half in front of Duke Geraldine.
Once Adara's free, I'll get a divorce from her soon. And I won't have anything to do with him anymore.
"The palace side has interfered, I can't do much" Duke Geraldine replied confusedly.
Arsen and Duke Geraldine were astonished that the courtier side of the crown prince faction interfered in the case. They even interfered in the search for Adaire's body. Why did the crown prince interfere? Adaire never once saw the crown prince's face or knew him. Because Adaire was always in the house shutting herself out of the outside world.
Every time there was a party invitation, as much as Adaire could avoid it. Adaire is always not confident, never out of the house unless there is an urgent need. He was ashamed of his body.
After the conversation was over, Duke Geraldine asked Arsen to find Liliana and bring the girl home. Then Arsen had to come with him to find a way to ease Adara's sentence. Adara is Duke Geraldine's only child. She didn't want to lose one more child, after she lost Adaire for good.
"Arsen, you go find Liliana, and drive her home. He's sick, then come back here." Duke Geraldine told Arsen.
"Okay dad," replied Arsen obediently, as he walked out of the room.
Duke Geraldine sighed, she looked troubled. "Adaire, are you going to forgive me if I ease your sister's punishment? Adaire.. "
...*****...
Inside the palace, Laura looks upset to see Max who managed to bring a bowl of herbal medicine. He unzipped Liliana's back. There's only Max and Laura with Liliana there.
"Sister, are you sure that you're going to apply the medicine?" laura asked her sister.
Once that woman's cruel, I'll hurt her more than she hurt you. How dare he hurt you, this must be very painful. Max's heart was looking at the wound on Liliana's back.
"I can't see my friend, of course" Laura replied. Laura looked at Liliana's bloody back, lash marks everywhere. "What kind of cruel person would do this to a good woman?" laura asked an annoyed follower to the person who gave deep wounds on the beautiful girl's back.
Max suddenly grinned. Laura was astonished to see her sister like that, "Sister, why is your face so? You're gonna kill people?" asked Laura shivering.
"Laura, you want to help Liliana right?" Mac glanced at his sister.
"What?"laura asked not to understand.
"The person who did this to her, should get her reward right?" Max smiled cynically.
"Of course,"
Max whispered to Laura, the woman nodded. "Okay, then I go first. Remember the promise of brother!"
Max nodded.
Laura smiled, then she left the room leaving Max and Liliana both there. Max sees Liliana sleeping. "It would be uncomfortable to sleep like that,"
After finishing applying the medicine to Liliana. Max pulled back the zipper of the dress Liliana was wearing slowly. "Basic wasn't alert, he didn't even realize someone was touching him. Was it when the bastard touched her, that she was unconscious like this too?"
Not sure what possessed the man, Max was tempted when he saw Liliana's beautiful neckline. Max got rid of the long red hair, now her beautiful neck is clearly visible. Max dipped his lips on Liliana's neck. Smear it gently.
Aware of the chewy thing that touched her neck, Liliana opened her eyes. "Who would dare?"
Liliana turned her body, she wanted to see who dared to kiss her while she was sleeping. Max was right behind him, he immediately attacked the woman with a greedy kiss. Max's hand held onto Liliana's body slowly.
"Hmphhhhhhhhh!" Liliana let out a sigh and groaned, she received the kiss even her hands were silent not revolting at all.
Why can't I refuse it? Wh why?
I know you love me too, Liliana Max said in her heart convinced.
They were immersed in the loving kiss, both moving along the lines. Could it be that the reason Liliana did not reject Max was because she had a taste?
Shortly after, Max removed his lips from Liliana. They both sat in the patient's bed. "Huhhhh. You kissed me twice! Without permission," Liliana said as she lowered her head with a red face.
Max's hand clasped the girl's pretty hand, "Not the second, but the third. You didn't even reject the third and accept it. Does that mean you love me, don't you?" Max looked at the woman with great hope.
"I-I," Liliana turned away confusedly.
While Max was waiting for an answer from Liliana.
