Her mother’s eyes widen before she glances at Liam.‘’Listen, I might not be the rich son-in-law you were looking for, but I love Nova.’’Venus scoffs. ‘’Love can only get you thus far, and as far as I can see. My sister is the one to be sponsoring your lifestyle.’’‘’No, guys, it is nothing like that. I never marry Nova for money.’’ Liam now says, becoming angry.Mrs Greyson laughs at him.‘’Right, and you expect us to believe that? If you want to be a son-in-law to us, you can’t be poor, but have to come from a rich background.’’Liam glances over at his wife. She is quiet now instead of trying to defend him.‘’This is nothing but bullshit. All you people care about is money. How can you say that love doesn’t matter?’’ Liam raises his voice.‘’Because it doesn't. What should happen if we both were poor and I fall ill? Could we afford medical?’’ Nova speaks up.‘’You know, I never took you for a bitch, Nova. But I see you are just that and maybe I shouldn’t have married you if money

The ringing of Liam’s phone is what wakes him from his sleep. He doesn’t look at the screen, just answers with a ‘hello’ and then sits up after hearing the voice on the other end.‘’Nova?’’‘’Hey Liam, where are you?’’‘’I’m… at a motel.’’‘’Oh ok, can I meet you there? I would like to speak to you about something.’’‘’I have to speak to you about something as well, but we can’t meet here. I think coming to your parents' place will be better.’’‘’Liam, my family doesn’t like you and doesn’t appreciate that I am married to a man like you, either. I will just meet you somewhere else.’’Liam breathes out a laugh. ‘’We have been together for four and a half years with two years of marriage. I am not about to throw this all away.’’‘’Liam just-’’‘’Nova, I’m coming there and I’m sure your family will love what I have to say.’’‘’Fine!’’ Nova groans, then hangs up right after.Liam throws himself back on the bed, still not believing that someone he has spent so many years loving left him ju

‘’Now that’s done, let me go meet with the Graysons.'' Annie smiles at Liam."Annie, I think it would be best to let Liam attend this meeting as well. And it will be a wonderful way for him to understand how things are done.’’ Carl stops her.''Oh, you are right. Silly me.''Carl nods and winks at Liam as if he knows what he is planning. It is as if he knows of his revenge and is pushing me to do it.''Right this way.'' Annie holds the door for Liam.Liam nods, then follows her out and down the hall to a larger room that has a long table in the center and several chairs surrounding it.Kyle looks up at Liam then burst out with a laugh.‘’Is this some kind of a joke?’’ he asks.Annie frowns. ‘’You have me at a loss.’’‘’This poor man, what is he doing up here? This place is only for exclusive people.’’ Kyle points at Liam.‘’Mr Grayson, I’ll have you know that Mr Tate is the owner of this esteemed organization.''Kyle’s eyes hold confusion as he looks back and forth between Liam and An

"I don't know what happened, but I liked how you handled the situation.'' Annie nods.''Thank you, and it will never happen again.''‘’Well, now that’s done with, let me show you the ropes. Because this company needs to be in tiptop shape.’’ Annie smiles.‘’Before we start, I have only one request,’’ Liam tells her.‘’Anything.’’‘’I wish to have my best friend flown out here. We have been through a lot together and with Kyle threatening to discord the hospital, I don’t want him back on the streets. He has it hard enough already.’’‘’Just give me a name and address, and I’ll get someone on it.’’‘’Ok, but don’t let him know about all this. I would rather for me to break it to him. Better yet, forget about that plan. I would rather to surprise him myself this next weekend.’’Annie ends the call and places the phone down with a nod.“Ok to get to it, your mother wanted to buy Central Bank, but then she got sick and well, you now. But the offer still stands because we are the highest bid

‘’We need a solution to help us solve this predicament that good-for-nothing ex-husband of yours has put us in,’’ Mr Grayson roars.‘’Father, we should stop calling him a good-for-nothing since he now owns basically all of Santoria and has our life hanging from a thread. A man who is good-for-nothing wouldn’t be able to ruin us like this,’’ Venus says from where she stands.Mr Grayson grits his teeth to contain the anger that has been building more and more as the hours tick by. ‘’Venus, I suggest you shut your mouth because you and your so-called fiancee are of no help.’’Venus frowns at her father. ‘’Right, as if he and his family haven’t donated fifty million to our ‘charity’. Maybe if you, mom, and Kyle cut down on the habits we wouldn’t be scrambling around for money.’’She drains her glass before speaking again. ‘’It is a good thing he is the one taking care of this wedding.’’Mr Grayson’s nostrils flares. ‘’I have no time for this. We need to find a way to get back our deals a
