Chapter 98 - Whos There? (1/2)

The door of the room, flew open as a large bulky man who was clad in black, stepped inside. Seeing the room engulfed in darkness, he was taken aback. His eyes roamed around the room as he stepped towards the wall, his hands searching for the switch.

Before his hands could locate the switch, he felt something moving behind him.

”Who's there?” He asked in his heavy voice but heard no reply. Before he could speak up again, a hand struck his neck, hard, making him unconscious. His body fell on the floor with a loud thud.

Lillian turned on the lights, making Stella squint her eyes.

”We should go back downstairs and enjoy the party.” Lillian spoke up, her voice soft and calm. ”How are you feeling by the way?” She continued without waiting for Stella's reply.

”I am feeling fine. Just like I was feeling before coming up here.” Stella replied to her, standing up from the couch and making her way towards her.

”It means she must have only drugged your drink.” Lillian replied as she stepped out of the room with Stella following her closely.

”But why would she do that?” Stella asked with confusion written over her face. ”Why not drug both of our drinks?” She continued, not forgetting to shut the door close on their way out.

”Have a look at me.” Lillian asked her, pointing her finger at her face. ”What is the first word that comes to your mind?”

”Beautiful.” Stella replied immediately without giving it much thought.

”Exactly!” Lillian gave her a smirk. ”She must have thought that the guy inside can easily deal with me.”

Stella nodded her head in agreement. Even she was taken aback when she saw the bulky man splayed on the floor unconscious.

Adam and Blake was having a chat with Liam as they sipped on their drinks. Both of them would glance at their wrist watches every now and then.

”Looking at your watches after every minute won't make the time go any faster.” Liam spoke up, giving the two an annoyed look.

”There's no harm in trying.” Adam replied with a smirk only to get his head smacked by Liam.

”You guys don't even meet me anymore. And when you finally do, you are more concerned about your girlfriends.” Liam was pouting like a child. Just like Adam, he also knew Blake since his childhood.

”Lillian isn't Blake's girlfriend.” Adam corrected him.
