Chapter 3: Getting Information
Liam's point of view.
"What is this grandma? I think you will send me away from the front gate only." I pouted like a small child. The child living inside me always comes out in front of my grandma.
"Who's stopping you? Come inside.You know, I have prepared your room and I know you will like it. " I roll my eyes at her. I know that nothing has changed in my room even though I left for Canada. I know my grandmother very well.
"Where are you going Liam?" she asked me, noticing that I'm running away from her to go to my room. I just want to hide from her. I don’t want to start our conversation again about the marriage she says.
"Won't you talk to your Darling? You are home after such a long time, you know you're the only one I have to talk to and I can share everything on my mind. Otherwise who cares about these old women? " She said as if she was still crying.
I couldn't help but gasp and shrug as I approached the couch where my grandmother was sitting.
"Now tell me what do you want to talk about Darling?" I sat down next to her and put my feet on the table in front of us.
"About your wedding." she beams excitedly. Here we are again.
I tried to stand up from sitting on the couch but grandma looked alarmed so she immediately grabbed my arm to stop what I was supposed to do.
"Not now Liam. Look at her photo." grandma showed the picture of the two of us dancing again. "Look at this girl who looks so traditional and well cultured. Just perfect for our family." then it showed that she was thrilled like a teenager.
"How did you know that she was well mannered and where did you get these photos?" I asked her while suppressing the annoyance that was slowly building up in my personality. How can Grandma think such a girl to be well mannered?
"The girl who dared to slap Liam Velasquez is for sure well mannered." I was just amazed at what grandma said. And how did it find out about the slap? "And I have my own sources to know about you." it pointed at her with its finger.
"This must be Jason. Adopted son and radio of my grandma." I said in a low voice.
"So when are you going to marry Hazel?" She beams excitedly with lot of hope in her eyes.
"We will see Grandma." I tried to change the topic again. "Moreover I'm tired from the long journey. See you tomorrow." I kissed her cheek and finally stood up on the couch.
"I know you hate girls and marriage after seeing your parents relationship and after what happened six months ago but try to understand that all girls are not like her, Liam. We don't know what her story is, you know she also regrets what decision she made in her life. "
How many times have I heard those words from Grandma and I will never give my trust to a woman again after what happened six months ago.
"You can call it my intuition, Liam. But I believe that this girl will give you the love and care for which you have craved for. She will be the light in your life. Please marry her Liam. For your darling, for me..." the waters gradually fell from grandma's eyes. even as an adult it's still really emotional and it looks like a lot of tricks just to black mail me.
"We will discuss about this in the morning." I touched her cheek with my palm. "I'm very tired from the journey and party."
"You will think about her?" grandma asks with a hopeful voice.
Yes grandma, I will think of her. I will think about how I can get revenge on her and how I can embarrass her more than she did to me today.
"Yes grandma, I will think about her."
"Oh my boy." grandma said softly then kissed me on the forehead. "Good night Liam."
"Good Night darling." I wink in her direction and move toward my room.
MY room is really the same as I left it. My big king sized bed in the middle of the room with its glory. my big portrait still hanging on the wall telling that this room belongs to me. I walk toward my walk in closet to select a pair of night dress retire for the day and found all my clothes still placed in the same place where I left them. after wearing black trousers with white tee I walk directly toward my bed and lay down to relax my stiff mucles.
Tring! Tring!
"Speak." I answered the call where Jason's number was registered. I just hope he finds out what it's all about that woman.
"Boss your work is done. I already have all the information about Hazel you'll need." He boasts and he has a right to boast as it's only two hours since I gave him the task.
"The speed ah. Are you sure that's all right?" I doubt this time as sometimes the information given by him has no proof they are just his intuitions which unfortunately are always correct.
"Yes boss. I have my own trusted source who gave me all the information about her."
"Then speak, what are you waiting for?"
here, the professional Jason is back who tells me each and every information about her. From her birth date and her school marks, her bestfriends and her BOYFRIEND.
"Are you sure the latter is true? That she had a relationship with ....."
"I'm one hundred percent sure." he snapped at me and he seemed very confident in his answer. Hazel .... She is the one Jason is referring to who ruined the fun my family and I had six months ago. she was the woman who made me go to Canada and ruined my whole life.
"I'm asking again Jason, are you sure she was seen with HIM most of the time six months ago? You know how much I want to find this woman." I again ask him because i don't want to apply my revenge on the wrong woman.
"I don't know if she's the woman who caused your family to break up. But I'm pretty sure they had a good relationship. I've already sent you a picture of the two of them..but to tell you the truth I don't think she is capable of breaking any person's heart. I will investigate more about this matter. " He says quite professionally as he knows that I don't like any joke regarding matter to 'HIM' he knows how important it is for me to find his culprit, the reason behind the misery in my family.
After ending the call I looked at the picture sent to my email by Jason and he was right, they must have some relationship in the past. The way she is holding his hand clears all my doubt. she’s the woman I’ve been looking for for over six months.
Now I will not leave this Hazel at any cost. I will make her life hell.
Welcome to hell Hazel. I evilly laugh with rage filling inside my heart. I know what I have to do with this woman. She will regret that she lived in this world.
She will wish for her death each day. She will repent of the sin she has committed.
I will be her future from now on. The future that will crush her under her feet.
