The Law of Attraction

Chapter 437: Unlock

Lana looked at herself one last time in the mirror. She was in her thin nightgown without anything underneath except her panties. She knew she was deliberately throwing herself in Liam's arms but then she was doing it because she also wanted to be with him and sleep with him.

"Will he kick me out this time because he is already sleeping better?" she whispered, suddenly worried. She quickly went out of her room and was about to open Liam's door but to her horror, it was locked.

"What the heck?! What is this? Did he purposely lock his door?!" Lana hissed with a twitched face. With dropped shoulders, she went back inside the room, stomping her feet. She could not believe that Liam would lock his door.

"Is he shutting me down?! What is he that worried about? That I will eat him alive? Should I remind him that it was he who pulled me into his arms this morning? And touched my breast on top of that? Is this his way of telling me now that he was only under the influence of drugs this morning?" Lana fumed with flaring nostrils.

It would be a problem if Liam would start locking his door from now on. How could she proceed to seduce him all the way and make him get used to her presence again if he slept with a lock on the door? Well, she could do it out of the bedroom but still, there was nothing more wonderful than being in his arms as they slept together.

She helplessly laid down on her bed as her mind wandered on what she should do next. She dialed one of her closest friends, May's number, and asked, "I need your husband… Can I borrow him?"

"What?!" May burst from another line.

Lana laughed because it definitely made her friend's ear almost explode.

"Hey stop that imaginative mind of yours. What I mean is that I need your husband's skills with locks. You know… Liam locks his door and I want to open it whenever I want." Lana murmured.

"OMG! Since when did you learn to invade privacy? Are you really the Lana I know? Woah!" May exaggeratedly commented on the other line, leaving Lana flustered.

It was true… It was so out of her character.

"Desperate situations needed a drastic approach to be handled, May. Didn't you always say that whenever we are out here in our lives, we are always in line to help a friend? Don't you dare tease me okay… My life depends on this."

This time Lana heard a loud laugh.

"Geez. I can't believe the strict and stiff Lana is calling me in the middle of the night just so she can unlock her ex-husband's room. You probably got this idea from Keira. Anyways, tell me what time should I bring Riley there?" May commented.

"Oh thank you so much May you're the best. I will send you the address." Lana beamed.

"It's a good thing,?we can visit you this way. I'll bring your favorite recipes and sweets…" May stated. The two talked some more before the call ended.

Lana then came back to being restless alone in her room. She even chose her most decent but seductive nightgown for tonight. She scrolled on her mobile phone contemplating if she should send a message to Liam.

After some careful thoughts. She typed a message and sent it to Liam.

*Sigh *Sigh

Liam's room was filled with his nonstop sighing until his mobile phone beeped.

Liam looked at it and pursed his lips while reading it.

[I would love to sleep beside you but I guess you want some privacy. Anyway just call me out if you need anything. Don't forget to take your medicine and sleep well…

PS. You said yourself, I'm immature so later if I act this way again just to be near you please understand that this immature woman just misses you and loves you a lot and because of that she has to do what she must. I love you…]

"Isn't she going overboard already? Why is she so cheeky? Is that how she plans to woo me?" Liam mumbled with a gulp. He was actually aching to unlock his door already and see if Lana would come inside or not but he wanted to keep his stance so Lana would treasure him more.

He heard it was really effective if a person invested a lot of effort into someone, that led to the person being deeply attached to them… He was hoping this time around Lana would not easily give him up once they started all over again.

"Should I unlock the door?" he whispered as he got up from the bed. He decided to lock his door a while ago because he knew Lana would check on him and he would like to restrain himself from taking advantage of her once more like he did when she was drunk at their ancestral mansion and this morning when he was in a daze.

Liam clicked his tongue in annoyance at himself. He was thinking of alibis like he was drunk and in a daze when he clearly knew what he did. He was like that for too long, staring at his ceiling, wondering if he should continue to keep his door locked or not.

"How come every decision I make pertaining to Lana is even harder than taking that licensure exam or any of the hard cases I handled? Damn!" Liam burst in frustration.

After some time, he annoyingly stood up and walked to his door to unlock it and then looked at the wall clock. It was past nine in the evening already. He wondered if Lana was already asleep.

He did not reply to her yet on her text message since he was unsure of what to say in reply to her message.

"Should I reply to her at least, like saying goodnight?" he whispered as he walked back to his bed and grabbed his mobile phone.

He stared at his mobile phone for some time then started typing a message like 'goodnight' but ended up sending only a word 'K'.

Meanwhile, Lana was still awake when she received Liam's reply.

"What the heck? K? That's all?" she barked with her eyebrows snapped together. "Does he also mean K with my PS message?" she murmured next with a smirk.
