The Billionaire's Lust Target

Chapter 3

Liliana's POV

My knees were shaking while I am standing on a large stage beside Uncle Leonardo.

I gasp when he held my waist and pulled my body closer to his.

"Are you okay Liliana?" He asked maybe he noticed that I am uncomfortable but despite that, I still nod my head and forced a smile because I can see my father's eyes looking at me intently.

"Y-Yeah," I responded in a shaking voice. Uncle Leonardo nods his head and then turns his head back to his guests.

"Let's go I will introduce you to my son," he uttered dragging me somewhere. He constantly stopped when someone greeted him.

"I didn't know that Brandon's daughter have grown into a such fine young lady." A woman commented. I lifted my head and smiled at her but didn't bother to prolong the conversation.

"Francis!" Uncle Leonardo called someone and when I traced his vision my body froze when I saw a familiar man.

He is walking toward us while holding a wine glass.

"Dad," he greeted Uncle Leonardo. My knees weakened and I almost fell from the ground only if Uncle Leonardo didn't hold my waist.

I can see the man's arm hanging attempting to help me but later on change his mind when he saw his father's hand on my waist.

"I want you to meet Liliana, you're soon to be a mother. Are you happy for your father, son?" Uncle Leonardo asked with enthusiasm in his voice. The man named Francis looked at me intently before slowly nodding his head.

"I'm proud of you Dad," he responded but the way he acts contradicts his words.

He stared at my face and his dark eyes pierce through me which made me remember the thing that we did in the Le Mura Nightclub.

I fake a cough when I couldn't handle the tension.

Uncle Leonardo looked at me then shifted his eyesight to his son.

"Introduce yourself, Francis," Uncle Leonardo uttered with authority in his voice. Francis obliged and extended his hands.

"Francis Gideon López," he uttered without tearing off his gaze. I took his hand and gather my courage so I could fight his stare.

"Liliana Iris Keller," I introduced myself as well. He didn't let go of my hand. He even squeezed it so I forcefully pulled it from his hold and then hid my hand behind my back.

I looked in the opposite direction to escape his intense stare.

"Entertain our guests' son," Uncle Leonardo commanded after a while. Francis nod his head to his father and obeyed him like he is programmed to do his father's word.

"I'll introduce you to my business partner Liliana," Uncle Leonardo then guided me to another table where people of his age were sitting.

"Are you having a good night?" He asked when we reached the table of the people he is talking about.

They shifted their eyes on us and greet us back with respect.

"Congratulations Leonardo," a man wearing a black suit stood up and then shake Uncle Leonardo's hand. After that, the man scanned me from head to toe which made me uncomfortable.

"You're really lucky Leonardo," he commented while his eyes were fixated on my chest.

Uncle Leonardo laughed as if he didn't notice that this man is eye f*****g me.

"I'm indeed lucky," Uncle Leonardo looked at me and I saw lust in his eyes. I wanted to run away and leave this place but I know I couldn't do that because my mother will die if I did.

"Uhm can I go to the restroom?" I politely asked. Uncle Leonardo looked at me then nod his head.

I immediately walked out to find their restroom. Being with those people suffocates me. I couldn't breathe just by seeing their faces.

I entered their house and I was overwhelmed when I saw how huge it is.

Our house was big but this isn't a house anymore, it's a mansion. Well, López is the richest clan in Italy it's no wonder that they live in a huge mansion.

I was stuck on where I should go so when I saw a maid I immediately approached her.

"Uhm hi," I greeted politely. She stopped what she is doing and then turned her head on me.

"Yes Ma'am?" she responded and smiled at me which made me feel at ease.

"Do you know where the bathroom is?" I asked.

"The restroom on the first floor is under maintenance Ma'am, but you can use the restroom upstairs. The last room in the left hallway is the restroom Ma'am," someone called her so she left.

I followed her instructions and walked to the stairs then walked towards the left hallway but I got lost.

I felt something inside me was about to explode so I grabbed the nearest door that I saw and I'm glad that it was open.

I run towards the bathroom and opened it which I, later on, regretted doing.

"s**t!" I heard a loud curse from a familiar voice. I immediately covered my eyes but that was useless because I have already seen his naked body.

"What are you doing here?" He asked using his baritone voice.

"I need to pee," I uttered. He turned off the shower so I took a peek and I'm glad that he already covered his body with a towel.

He left, so I quickly used his restroom to pee.

"Thank you," I uttered politely and was about to walk out when he grabbed my wrist and pinned me to the wall.

"I don't accept thank you, Liliana," he whispered in my ear which made me shiver.

"What do you want?" I asked in a shaking voice and with weak knees.

"I want you," he responded and his lips rose to form a smirk.

I pushed him away and quickly walked out but before I could even leave his room, he shouted.

"I will be the one to turn you into a López Liliana. You will be my wife, not my stepmother, I'll make sure of that," I ignored him and continued walking away.

You look like a robot programmed by your father Francis, how can I trust your words?

Francis POV

I sat at the edge of my bed while Liliana's face kept on playing on my head. I was busy featuring her beautiful image when a knock interrupted me.

I opened the door and I saw my father standing outside with his usual serious facade.

"What is it, Dad?" I asked then widened the door inviting him to come in but he remained standing from the outside.

"Go back to the party," he commanded. I nod my head at him.

"Yes Dad, I will just fix myself," I uttered after that he left without responding. When he completely disappeared I grabbed a new pair of suits and fix myself in front of the mirror.

After a few minutes, I am already walking in our front yard where my father's party was held.

" Where did you go bro?" Mathew asked me when he saw me.

"Just took a bath," but he looked at me with a grinning face not believing my words.

"What?" I asked while fighting the urge to smile.

"You look suspicious," he commented then looked at me from head to toe.

"f**k you," I cursed then laughed at his face.

"Francis," I stopped joking around with Mathew when my father called my name.

I walked towards their table and sat across Liliana who is now bowing her head avoiding my gaze.

My Dad's eyes were fixated on the presentation in front while mine was focused on the woman sitting in front of me.

Since the table isn't that big, using my shoes I traced her legs under the table.

She lifted her head and glared at me but I responded with a wide grin.

'Stop it,' she mouthed but I didn't listen.

I took off my shoes so I can feel her bare skin. I started caressing her legs using my toe.

Liliana bit her lower lip while glaring at me which pushed me to aim for a higher position. When I reached her sensitive bud I heard a soft moan come out from her lips.

"Uhm," my father looked at her confused.

"Why? What's wrong?" My father asked with worry lace in his voice. Liliana turned her head on my father and then plastered a genuine smile.

"Nothing," she responded.

"I have to go to the bathroom," after that she left holding her purse. I watched him walked away and after a few minutes, I excused myself as well.

"Dad I'll just talk to Mathew for a bit," I uttered. My father nod my head and then brought his eyes back to the presentation in front.

Instead of going to Mathew's table, I decided to find Liliana. It took me a few minutes before I saw her sitting on a wooden bench in the dark part of our front yard.

I quietly walked toward her and covered her eyes using my palm but I was shocked when I felt my palm getting wet.

I immediately occupied the space beside her and cupped her face. When the moonlight hit her face I saw tears cascading on her face.

Something inside me shattered when I saw tears falling freely from her eyes.

"Why? What's wrong?" I asked with worry laced in my voice. She stared into my eyes for a few seconds before speaking up.

"Save me please, I don't want to marry your father," she uttered then buried her face in my chest. I caressed her hair and kissed her head.

"I will, I promise," I responded despite being powerless.

She lift her head then held my nape and pulled my face closer to her.

Her kisses tasted the same, something that I have been longing to taste again.

I held her chin and angled her face then kissed her aggressively.

"Liliana!" a shout from my father stopped her from moving. The footsteps became closer but I didn't let go of her lips so with all her might she pushed me away.

She immediately stood up and then fixed her posture.

"What are you doing here Liliana?" my father asked her.

"I was lost," she reasoned out then dragged my father away from that place.

Before they walked away she looked at me and gave me a death glare which made my lips stretch for a wide smile.

Affair with your future stepmother sounds thrilling and fun at the same time.
