The Law of Attraction

The Sy's headed back to the mansion after the warm lunch with Lana and Liam to celebrate their wedding. Jorge dropped their father first back at the mansion, then he dismissed Andrew to drive the car directly to the cinema with Miley.

"Today is the premiere of the zombie movie you were waiting for, so let's watch that. I don't understand why you love such types of movies. It's too harsh and gross…" Jorge commented while his eyes were fixed on the road.

"I love thrills, you know that. I love it when my hair goes up and my heart would almost jump out of my chest with horror." Miley lazily mumbled. She remembered how Jorge often turned down her request to accompany her in such kinds of movies, complaining about how gruesome those movies were.

He hated those kinds of movies. Miley had a lopsided grin when she imagined how terrified Jorge would be later on during the movie.

"Whatever it is that makes you happy Miley," she heard Jorge say that energetically.

She was still unable to understand what kept him from accepting this relationship. He was clearly in love with her and was jealous like hell if she came in close contact with any other male, then why?

'He will pay for this attitude today…'

Miley was too excited as they entered the cinema, but she tried her best not to show it.

"Are you sure you want to watch it with me? But you always hated such movies earlier," Miley murmured while Jorge bought some snacks for them before going into the hall.

"It's okay… I'm sorry I haven't accompanied you like this earlier," Jorge muttered. The two then entered the cinema and sat on their respective seats. Soon the movie started playing, and even the opening scene was so nerve-wracking that Jorge suddenly sn.a.k.e.d his arms on Miley's and hid his face in the crook of her neck.

Miley gulped because she could feel Jorge's breath almost kissing her neck. Her heart started melting for him, but she knew that idiot man needed to be ignored still before he ended up confessing his true heart to her.

"How dare you make a move on me like that!" She hissed and abruptly nuzzled Jorge's face with her shoulder.

Jorge did not budge and grumbled, "It's your fault Miley for liking this kind of movie. From now on, you are only allowed to bring me whenever you plan to watch this kind of movie. No one else is allowed to snuggle on you like this except me!"

"I'm not yours, as you always have told me, so stop mumbling about who is allowed to snuggle with me or not. Only I can decide, so shoo!" Miley exclaimed and poked Jorge's face out from her shoulder.

'Where has my sweet Miley gone to? Had I driven her so far away from me? It's gonna take a lot of efforts to win her back now… but… will things be right if I...' Jorge wanted to cry out.

He had always seen the loving side of Miley, and lately she was acting so terrifyingly that he almost thought this was a different woman.

They could call him a coward but he was not ready to risk everything but at the same time did not want to lose Miley as well. He was still undecided on how to handle things and he was still conflicted with his bond with the Sy's.

All he could do at this rate was to be more attentive to Miley and prevent her from going for dating with various men just to irritate him. So far his being extra attentive towards Miley was working since he had not heard any news of her going out again for dating with other men. And that was good enough for him.

At Sy Mansion

Gracy stayed inside her room the whole day with an alibi of the migraine attack. But in reality, she was just still sulking with the sudden news of Liam's marriage. The news hit her hard. She had never expected that something like that could happen so soon with the short span of time Liam knew Lana.

Yes, Lana was undeniably beautiful and with a good family background too, but still it was too soon for getting into a marriage in her opinion. She had known Liam for years and she was aware how aloof a man he was when it came to women, that was why she was confident when she left back then, thinking he would still be alone there when she came back after fulfilling her dreams.

Gracy's face crumpled while she recalled how she accidentally overheard Senior Sy's conversation this morning with Jorge and Miley when she was about to join them for breakfast. Liam married in a rush because of Lana's mother with regards to her hospitalization.

She clenched her teeth and leered, "How dare she use such a cunning way to chain Liam into marriage?"

She could not accept that she had lost everything as soon as she returned. She already lost her father and now the Sy family? She had no one left but Liam and the Sy family.

"I will never let you come in my way!"

Gracy was fuming while thinking of ways on how she would kick Lana out of the picture.

"It should be me… Not her! I should be the one to stay in this house as Mrs. Liam Sy!" she grunted and threw the pillows on her bed.

"Arghhhh!!!!" Gracy exclaimed with gnashed teeth. She would do everything in her power to restore everything the way it was back then.

She grabbed her mobile phone and opened the email she had received from her uncle in a position inside the government police investigation unit.

Her eyes widened seeing the information about Lana.

"What do we have here...? An orphan and only adopted by Ana Huang?" Gracy exclaimed with a twitched face while she read the report compiled about Lanabelle Smith.

"She even changed her name… What is this a Cinderella story, huh? You think luck is always your way, you're in the wrong peasant. Or should I say a criminal's daughter?" Gracy muttered with a smirk.

Lana's father would be her bullet. Who would have thought she would get lucky enough to enter the Huang Family? All information about Lana was obviously deeply buried in a grave, but she was lucky to have enough connections who could dig it out all without sweat.

"Just so you wait, you sly fox. I will show Liam who you really are and how ugly and stinky your past was! I'm gonna put you back to where you belong." Gracy chided while she gripped her mobile phone hard.
