Chapter 143: A Taste Of Her Own Medicine

Jorge kept sneaking glances at Lana through the rear view mirror of his car. She was sitting with pursed lips and creased forehead. She looked as if she was irritated and had no way to vent out her frustration.

Lana already had enough since evening that day. So many things had started clouding her thoughts and right now she was unable to understand what she was feeling.

Was it anger or was Liam's absence and being with Gracy affecting her? Was this something she didn't want to feel ever in her life?

All she knew at that time was that she wanted to distance herself from everyone and yet not able to break a thread that pulled her towards Liam.

Liam, this name always remained in every cell of her brain from the past few days. How much ever she tried to stay away from his charm, she knew she was falling deeper into that pit. He was affecting her by everything that he did… yes everything…

Starting from his morning bedhead look, to his freshly bathed smell, his loving looks to the feel of his lips on her own. His closeness was intoxicating and his distance was killing her more than any poison could.

Yet, she was not ready to accept such an obvious shift in her thoughts. Such a big change that had slowly crept in her soul was so not expected and when it happened she was not able to accept it either.

She had been maintaining a distance from him to revert back to her older carefree self, the kind who was not bothered by anyone's actions. But was that even working? Was she able to let her heart free from his strings?

Why was she feeling so unsettled when she heard about him going to the party with Gracy? Why couldn't she let go of him? What was this feeling, why is it so difficult to see him with someone else?

Lana tried to shut her mind but all those thoughts kept hounding her and she was surprised to notice a stinging sensation in her eyes. Her eyes were getting misty and her emotions were getting out of hand.

Even a single thought of Liam touching that witch was painful and imagining them entering the party hall together, probably with his hand in hers, was stabbing her heart.

'And you said you had only me in your eyes…!!!'

Jorge was noticing Lana having so many colours come and go on her face. She was trying her best to hide her dilemma but the wet corners of her eyes betrayed her composure and Jorge was very skilled in noticing such small gestures as he had been doing so with Miley ever since he fell for her.

'I am sure you are in deeper trouble with the game you played bro…' thought Jorge, recalling how Liam called him and asked for some help.

He wanted to warn him against it, but Liam was also right. Lana would not change her perceptions unless given a bitter dose. So, now, there they were… with a sulky Lana sitting in a downcasted mood like never before.

As Jorge was accessing the entire scene his phone started vibrating and he knew who that impatient person calling incessantly could be. He sighed and parked his car first before picking up his phone in his coat pocket to read Liam's messages.

[How is it going? Did you tell everything? Did she respond? Why have you not called me yet? I'm waiting to know her reaction!]

"You and Lana go in first… I'll just make a call and follow you guys shortly." Jorge remarked when they entered at the entrance door.

Lana and Miley then walked first into the elevator.

Meanwhile, Jorge picked up his mobile phone and dialled Liam's number as soon as the two women were out of his sight.

"Why are you so impatient? We just arrived here at the hotel and YES I mentioned everything. You are fortunate as Miley was with her and as expected of your sister, without her knowing, added more spice to your advantage… Though I'm not sure if it's really an advantage..." Jorge mumbled on the other line.

Then he added, "Get ready because the floor is lava… Good luck, bro!"

"So she's jealous?" Liam presumed and was a bit irritated with Jorge's chuckling.

"Hmm… Not sure, but she definitely looks in a bad mood. I'll hang up now, both the ladies are waiting for me inside the elevator." Jorge scoffed and quickly ended the call with a smirk.

Lana was obviously irritated, but he doubted whether Lana would admit jealousy. He only hoped Liam would succeed very soon. Because in Liam's victory lay his happiness.

Liam bit his lip while he waited for Lana to enter the function room. He wondered if it would be effective… pushing Lana more by using Gracy's presence.

He could tell that she was jealous whenever Gracy was around him, but it was not enough for her to admit her feelings towards him.

He heaved a long deep sigh and his eyes were fixed at the entrance waiting for Lana and Miley to enter. He knew Lana would be upset if she saw him with Gracy and so he was trying his best to bring Lana to the edge and make her admit her feelings.

He had to be meticulous while planning the entire evening, so many days had passed since they had not spent time nicely together. Lana had been running away from him, and that hurt his heart too much.

Finally he decided to give her a taste of her own medicine and here they were… making Lana feel Gracy's looming danger around Liam.

Initially, his intention was to secretly follow Lana, but then he called and asked Jorge for his help. Then Miley arrived just in time to stop Lana at the exit of the office and force her to go to the party.

He knew his sister well, and he was sure Miley would pull Lana to join the party anyhow, so he planned his all other moves with Jorge and informed him to execute everything properly.

And now he was waiting, with a hope that Lana would let her emotions loose at least now and ask him, confront him about leaving with Gracy for the party, whether subtly or by even in a mocking tone.

Her one sentence would be enough for him to understand her heart, one crack in her expressions would be like a boon for him… All he wished was to Lana realize her true feelings for him.
