Liam’s POV
My heart pounded as the door clicked shut behind Ava, leaving me alone with her father. I could feel Robert Patel's cold gaze burning into me as he leaned against the pillow.
I gulped, trying to keep my expression neutral, although I knew it was useless. He knew, I could see it in his eyes.

Not anymore Robert. Not since you...
I clenched my fists, taking in a deep breath so as to steady my erratically beating heart.
Calm down Liam, play it cool. "I don’t know what you’re talking about, Mr. Patel," I muttered, my voice as calm as I could make it.
