The backyard was soon crowded with rich people, I meant to say acquaintance of the Ashton's. I could see officers were taking information from the people who were already in the yard.

I was sitting with Robert who was in shocked or might be drunk.

I might add that I was shocked too.

Robert's security head got hit with the bullet. He was escorted to a nearby hospital.

"Robert! Are you alright? Will you be able to walk?" I asked him as he tried to stand up.

"I will...killthat******" his voice was not coming out clearly.

"Who told you to drink when you can't take it." I scolded him.

"Hahaha I could take a wholedrumof..."

Suddenly James came out of nowhere.

He looked at me with a mixed emotion of anger and.... I don't know

"What the hell are you doing in the backyard?" He asked me in a low voice but it was clearly showing his anger.

"She is with me." Robert said and pushed him which causes him to stumble a little.

" You are drunk." James said making a disgusting face.

"Yes! I am. Anyproblem?"

He stumbled a little and I caught hold of him before he could have fallen down.

James called his guard and told them to take Robert to a rest room.

After Robert was out of vision, he turned to me.

"What were you doing with him?" He said gritting his teeth.

"Talking." I said and started to walk but he held my hand and brought me back at the same position where I was standing before.

"Just talking?" He said looking into my eyes.

"Yes or maybe not. What is your problem?" I said in the same tone.

"Were you wanting to repeat that night?" He held both of my arms and brought me close to him.

Is he talking about...that night..

"What do you mean?" I said in confusion.

"So you have forgotten that night? Let me remind you then. Four months ago when you were totally drunk..."

I stopped him in midsentence and freed myself.

"How could I forget that night Mr. Ashton." Tears filled up in my eyes.

I averted my eyes from him to looked at the other side but to my dismay I saw my mother, Mrs. Ashton and Stella were looking at us.

Sh*t!

All the three pairs of eyes were looking at us with so many questions in their eyes and especially my mother...

I looked at James who was too looking at me with the same expression as theirs.

What is his problem?

I narrowed my eyes towards him.

"Please explain this to them." I said in a fake sweet tone and walked out from there without giving a look towards anyone.

I went to the rest room to see if my boss was alright or not.

I opened the door to see Lucy sitting  on a table near the bed with a bored expression on her face.

She was busy in her thoughts that she didn't notice I was coming.

I knocked at the door.

"Hi..Liza.." she said and was about to stand up when Robert held her hand.

We were both shocked at that moment.

She tried to free her hand but his hold tighten more.

"Don't go...please.." he said.

Her eyes widen and she looked at me.

What is going on here?

"Liza...please Liza don't go..." This time my eyes widen.

Sh*t! He is thinking it's me..instead of Lucy.

His eyes were almost closed.

I walked towards her and gestured her to sit down.

"Liza...I'm really..sorry.." he started.

Lucy looked up at me and I told her not to say anything.

"I... I.. am really sorry..it was my fault.. I shouldn't have spiked your drink that night..."

What?

I held his hand and told Lucy to go out from there.

"What are you talking?" I asked him.

"I...I spiked your drink...but that James....he took you to your home...my plan went wrong..."

Tears started dripping from my eyes.

This means....

James didn't spike my drink...

Why Robert?

"Why?" I said my voice cracking a little.

"Why did you do this?" I asked him with tears.

"Say..say..say to me..." But he was asleep.

I left his hand and walked out from there.

I came down the stairs to see my mother sitting on a chair.

She stood up and looked at my face.

"I..I.. want to go home for some days." I told her.

Her expression changed and she hugged me.

"Sure. Your dad will be delighted to see you." She smiled and took her purse.

I started walking with her.

"Do you want to drive?" She asked me.

"No Mama.."

"Okay."

It was a long drive so I too took the chance to drive for sometime.

We were soon at our home. My parent's home.

I was glad that my mother didn't ask me anything during the whole ride.

"Mr. Miller see what have I got for you." She said loudly.

"Roses?" He asked from the kitchen.

"No." He turned around.

"Liza. Oh my God! How are you? This is the first time when your mother has came with a good thing." He said hugging.

"So I am only a thing for you?" I said pouting.

"No sweetheart you are my world."

"You said the same thing to me." My mother rolled her eyes.

"Yes you were but now she is my world."

"So rude." She said and went to the kitchen.

"Both of you are my world." He said winking at me.

Now you could say why I loved my parents.

They are everything for me..

Thank God! For giving me such beautiful parents. I hope everyone may get such loveable parents.
