‘’Miranda, do you have anyone you want to send some invitation to?’’Miranda gives Liam a confused look. ‘’Invitation for what?’’‘’I want to throw a party to announce our engagement and we also have to set a date for our wedding.’’Miranda’s face goes bright red. She almost forgot that Liam had proposed to her.‘’I have only a few friends that I used to go to Uni with. We don’t talk that much since I graduated, to be honest.’’Liam nods.‘’I could message them; we could go to brunch, and I’ll break the news to them.’’‘’That sounds like a good idea.’’‘’Oh, and at work. I have a few friends there and I have made a friend at the hair salon. She is the one I have been spending so much of my afternoon with.’’‘’That sounds good.’’ Liam kisses the side of her head.***At the party, Liam walks by two girls who are gossiping about Miranda.‘’She is such a whore, and I know she is only with this man because of his money,’’ one said.‘’Mercedes told me everything, Marsha stole him from her,

Liam is getting ready for the big, grand reopening of the Johnson Lux exhibition.‘’Are you sure we are invited to this place? I mean, after all that has been happening between you guys and this man.’’Liam kisses Miranda to assure her. ‘’Trust me, we have to go. This will be the best thing this town will ever experience.’’‘’Wow, I guess you are showing him your support, so he sees that there is no threat and both companies can thrive here.’’Liam nods. ‘’Something like that.’’After the two are ready, Liam stops by the new house Charles bought to pick him up, along with his parents.‘’Thank you,’’ Charles does a half bow to Liam.‘’You really don’t have to do that,’’ Liam tells him.‘’But you have done so much for me, I am forever grateful to you. I have to pay you back.’’‘’The only pay back I want is for you to remain true to yourself, take care of your family and continue to do your best,’’ Liam tells him.Liam sees him hiding his face and wiping his tears away.When they get to

Liam is a little more than excited. After all, he defeated Artemis, the museum and jewelry store is almost complete, and he signed a sixty million deal to provide clean energy to a newly built community.‘’Annie, thank you for being such a wonderful partner in crime. I couldn’t think of a better assistant.’’ Liam smiles at the woman sitting across from him.‘’If you think we make a great team, you should see me and your mother. We were the dynamic duo.’’ Annie laughs.‘’Well, I glad it is you I am working with. Maybe if it was anyone else, things wouldn’t be so possible and easy.’’Annie smiles at him. ‘’I am glad we found you. Your mother wanted to sell this company. I am afraid if she did, then what her family built would have failed.’’Liam nods, talking about his mother. A woman he has never met is still a touchy subject.‘’Well, one more meeting and we can call it a successful day.’’ Annie says, trying to change the subject.The phone ring just as she said it and their last clien

One of the security who came with Andrew moves forward as well, and so do two others. The crowd crane their necks to watch. They all are interested to see the outcome of it all. A lot of them are jealous in the heart and want to see the downfall of Liam so they can laugh.‘’When are they going to beat him up? I hate this man; I want to see him lose it all. Who does he think he is? Pretending to be the son of the Wellingtons,’’ one man says.‘’Yeah, this man was piss poor. All of a sudden, he is some hot shot. Andrew should let him pay for what he did to Artemis,’’ another agrees.Liam looks back at the crowd, knowing that these people don’t mean him any good. All they do is pretend to like him and ask for discounts and favors.Andrew points at Liam before he pulls out the gemstone and laugh. ‘’I will swallow this before handing it over to you.’’ He looks at the gemstone with greedy eyes and laughs.He then sneers at Liam. “Poor playing rich, you are still a poor man to me. If not for

Liam waits behind a woman to make his purchase of a new Cartier watch for Miranda.''Next,'' the woman calls, pulling Liam's attention away from the watch.''Good day Mr. Tate.''''Hey, Lisa.'' Liam nods at her.The lady at the counter smiles at him and swipes his card. ‘’There you go, Mr. Tate.’’Liam turns around, but an old man blocks his way.‘’Excuse me,’’ Liam says, trying to move around him, but again the old man gets in the way.‘’Such a lovely thing you have there,’’ the old man points at the gemstone hanging from Liam’s neck.‘’Thanks, it is a rare gemstone a friend of mine discovered.’’‘’Do you mind if I take a closer look?’’ The man asks.Liam lifts the necklace from his chest between his index finger and thumb. The old man squints his eyes, then shakes his head.‘’Sorry, but I have such poor eyesight. I’m sure you won’t mind removing it so I can see it better and also get a feel of it.’’‘’Sorry, but I can’t do that. Like I said, this is a very rare gemstone, recently di

Liam gets a call from Charles; he sounds frantic and is crying to Liam for help.Liam drives to where Charles said he is, moving in most of the antiques into the newly built museum.When he gets there, he sees an unmarked car and when inside; he sees a group of four men trying to intimidate Charles.Two of the men closes in on Charles and grabs his face before slapping him several times, then threw him on the ground and violently kicked him all over.One of the security guards who arrived with Liam fire two shots on the ground. Causing significant damage to the tile, but it got the men’s attention.Liam can see that Charles is frightened, and he never expects to be ambushed like this in his own place.Charles, with a battered face, tries to crawl over to Liam, but a man pulls him back to them.‘’Not so fast.’’‘’It’s you,’’ Liam leans his head to the side.‘’Yes, it is I. Clide,’’ the man smiles. ‘’I am guessing this is your protégé?’’ He then points to Charles.When they are about to

Liam waits in the meeting room for his audience, who is already twenty minutes late. He hates when this happens because that means he would be late for other matters.‘’Where is this person? I have other matters to tend to. They better get to the point and not waste my time.''Annie sits back in her seat. ‘’Roger is never late. Maybe something happened to him.’’‘’Maybe he just doesn’t care. Since this will be the first time meeting each other, he made a partnership with my mother and not me, so he might not see me worthy.’’Annie laughs. That causes Liam to stop playing with his stress ball. ‘’If not for Wellington, CCRJ wouldn’t be where it is now and with all your successful business deals, all they have been doing is gaining more money in their pocket.’’Soon, the glass door is pushed open and a woman who is dressed in a black skintight outfit walks in. It hugs her perfect body, but from the smirk on her red lipstick lips, Liam can tell that he is not going to like her at all.‘’O

I can't remember if I had stated the type of business Wellington Group owns. Maybe I did, but either way, here you go, a list of everything. Wellington was established in the late 1800s, around 1897 as a just a cable company. And they later expanded to telecommunication after seeing that people didn't have it easy to communicate with their loved one. 1. Real estate. 2. When Maria took over from her father, she invested in many companies and earned even more from these investments. After Maria died, and Liam took over, he created even more businesses and more deals. 3. Hotel and resorts. 4. Golf course. 5. Brothel. 6. Restaurants and clubs. 7. A clean energy company. 8. Shares in a manufacturing company. 9. A shipping company. 10. Agriculture. 11. Shares in a museum and jewelry company. That's it for now. Maybe the list will be updated.

Liam answers the phone on the first ring.‘’How is it going with your mother? Did she agree to come to the wedding?’’‘’I have other problems other than that evil woman.’’Liam can hear the distress in Miranda’s voice.‘’What’s wrong?’’ He asks.‘’I don’t know, but my car was fine just moments ago and all of a sudden it just shut off.’’‘’Where are you?’’‘’I’m not sure. I took a detour because the road is being renovated but I’ll send my location.’’The phone beeps as Miranda sends her location to Liam.‘’I am on my way, and please sit in the car until I get there.’’Liam is confused. He doesn’t know how a new car could just shut off like that. It doesn’t need tuning or oil change as yet.Either way, Liam takes his keys and leave, following the location Miranda sent to him.After arriving, Miranda gets out of the car and throws her arms around Laim.‘’You came so fast, thank you.’’‘’I don’t want anything to happen to you. I would miss my witch.’’ Liam tickles her side.Miranda giggl

Liam asks his team to search for this woman. He needs to know what her problem is. It seems she has a vendetta against Miranda and her family.While standing outside Wellington, Liam gets a call from an unknown number.‘’Hello,’’ Liam answers.The line is silent for a while.‘’Why are you looking for me?’’ The female voice asks.‘’It’s none of your business.’’‘’It is my business since you tried to hurt my fiancé.’’‘’Your fiancé? You two are getting married? I can’t let that happen.’’‘’Who the hell is this?’’‘’Someone who is watching you as you stand in the parking lot and waste your time trying to save someone who doesn’t deserve it.’’Liam tries to speak, but she cuts him off.‘’The view is grand from up here; you look like a little ant. Only if I can crush you like one.’’Liam looks up at the building.‘’Why the fuck are you here?’’‘’I have always been here.’’ The woman laughs.‘’Listen-‘’‘’Fine, I’ll come meet you downstairs.’’A man walks out. It is Richie from IT coming to
