After months, the chain of hotel that Liam started on is finally finished and he is on his private jet there to do the grand opening along with Miranda.‘’This is so scary,’’ Miranda says. Holding onto Liam’s hand too tightly, but he doesn’t mind since she fears heights, and this is her first time flying.‘’We will be landing soon,’’ the pilot announces and Miranda breathes a sigh of relief.Liam watches as Miranda gets off the plane and he swears she is about to kiss the ground from her reaction.‘’You really hate flying?’’‘’You have no idea; my first time and I want it to be my last, but I have to go home.’’‘’Mr. Tate, your ride is at the front of the airport. The only thing the authorities ask is for you to declare anything items, such as plates, organic food. Meats or any items you might sell.’’Liam nods, then follows the man to the airport agent.He doesn’t take long, and they are off to the first hotel, which is three hours away.“Wow, this place is amazing,’’ Miranda’s eyes

‘’I think you need to change her position,’’ Liam states after a beat.‘’Excuse me?’’ Mr. Wade asks, looking up at Liam from the paper he was signing.‘’You need to do a reshuffle of the staff here, mainly here. She seems too unprofessional to be in such a high position as being your assistant.’’‘’Yes, Mr. Tate, you are very right. After seeing her behavior today, which I can’t apologize enough for, I see that she isn’t fit for this high position. Maybe the front desk would better suit her. I’ll get H.R to make the changes when we are done here.’’“Very well.’’ Liam nods.They get back to their discussion and possibly expanding the hotel chain to other areas on the island since the grand opening has already attracted so many people and is at max capacity.When the meeting is over, Liam shakes hands with everyone and hurries to his room. There he sees Miranda sitting outside on the balcony, just staring out.Liam bends to kiss her shoulder. ‘’I hope I didn’t keep you waiting for too l

After the seven days, unplanned vacation and both of them looking tan and relaxed. Liam is in the back seat with Miranda snoozing on his lap. He looks out at the passing city and tries his best to not disturb her.During their time away, the woman hasn’t given up her pursuit of getting her revenge on Miranda and her mother.Miranda’s phone rings and she stirs. Her phone continues ringing and Liam tickles her side to wake her.Miranda moans. ‘’What?’’‘’You phone.’’‘’Hello,’’ Miranda answers.She listens for a while, and then suddenly sits up.‘’Oh my God!’’She hangs up the phone and stares out the window.‘’What is it?’’ Liam asks.‘’My mother, that woman was in the house without her knowing. She was playing with my little brother.’’‘’What the hell?’’ Liam says.He then tells the driver to go to the apartment complex.When they get there, police cars are outside, and an officer is asking Mrs. Sawyer questions.Upon seeing Liam, Mrs. Sawyer frowns.‘’Mom, is everything ok?’’Mrs. Sa

After a week with Miranda in the new position, Liam notices that she is more tired than usual and working harder than she used to.‘’Lunch time,’’ Liam says, holding up a brown bag with burgers.Miranda holds up one finger, then looks back at the screen.Liam walks around the desk to see what she is doing, then frowns. ‘’Why are you doing taxes?’’‘’Because I was asked to.’’‘’By whom?’’‘’Annie.’’Liam is confused by this, because it isn’t Miranda’s duty to do this. All she is there to do in the new position is to perform cost-benefit analyses of existing and potential customers and to also maintain a positive business relationship to ensure future sales.‘’I need to have a word with Annie.’’‘’Liam, it is no bother and to be honest, I had nothing to do until she gave me this task.’’Liam sits in the seat, waiting for Miranda to finish.‘’Have you spoken to your mother as yet?’’‘’You, this is a bit distracting, Liam.’’‘’Sorry.’’After finishing her task, Miranda finally eats with L

For days, Liam notice Miranda’s strange behavior. It moved from just looking over her shoulder to hiding.She is also sneaking around and leaving the house or work at unusual times during the day.One night, Liam sat in the dark living room, waiting for Miranda to come back.The front door opens, and she pushes her head through the door, as if making sure she is alone before entering fully.The moment she steps inside, Liam flips the switch. Her eyes widen, looking like a deer caught in headlights.‘’Where are you coming from?’’ Laim asks.‘’Work,’’ Miranda says in a duh tone.‘’Why are you lying?’’‘’Are you trying to accuse me of something?’’‘’Just tell me where you are coming from.’’‘’I told you, work. With this new position, it is hectic now, so sorry I am so consumed with the job you gave to me.’’‘’Damn it, Miranda! Stop lying! You weren’t at work. You left before two pm and never returned. When you are coming here at ten at night.’’Miranda holds her head down.‘’Don’t give m

Liam sits at the table, and the waiter gives him a menu.‘’Thank you.’’‘’Talk,’’ Liam tells her.Gwen laughs. ‘’I need to order first, it is pass my lunch time.’’If only Liam had known who was calling, he would have told Annie not to pick up.As the woman sitting across from Liam orders, he makes a face. The woman, just like many, doesn’t give him a good impression and he can see that she doesn’t have any good motives.Her only purpose is to seek revenge, just like the others he has dwelt with before. He never had much interest in people like her and was ready to leave if she didn’t start speaking.Gwen takes a sip of her water and begins to choke.Liam becomes worried when he sees her face going red, and as much as he didn’t want to show concern, he still reaches over and touches her hand.“Gwen, are you ok?’’She fans a hand before her face. ‘’It’s just that sometimes… I’ll be fine, child.’’‘’Why did you call me here?’’ Liam asks.‘’Don’t you want to order something?’’Liam ignor

Liam asks his security if he is still following Miranda and, if so, where she is.‘’Good, I’m on my way.’’Liam enters the small café, the bell rings and Miranda glances up on impulse and her eyes widen after seeing Liam. She stares at him as if seeing a ghost.‘’Miranda!’’ Liam yells, causing the few other people inside the café to turn to look at him.‘’It’s Liam Tate,’’ someone said.‘’I didn’t know he came to places like this,’’ another said.‘’You sneaking, conniving little witch,’’ Liam hisses under his breath after getting closer, so only she can hear.‘’Liam, what are you doing here? And why would you call me that?’’‘’Drop the act Miranda, we figured it out. It was you all along. You framed an innocent man and caused him to be in prison.’’‘’I don’t know what you are talking about.’’‘’Stop lying to me, Miranda, you are just like that fucking mother of yours. Stealing my money, and for what?’’Someone moves closer to Liam, so he can hear what is happening. Liam turns to give

It happens where Liam goes with Miranda, because he sees that something fishy is going on. The story Miranda told him just doesn’t seem right.He texts Gwen, asking her if she can come to the apartment of Mrs. Sawyer and he believe they are lying on her name. He also tells her to bring her husband and another cop, but let them stay at the door just in case.‘’Thanks for doing this,’’ Miranda reaches over and touches Liam’s leg with a smile.Liam slaps her hand away. ‘’After this, I never want to hear from or see you again. I mean it.’’Miranda shrinks back into the car seat and then stares out the window.When they get to the apartment, Gwen is there waiting for them.‘’What is she doing here?’’ Miranda frowns.‘’I called her here, so she knows you and your mother are lying on her name.’’‘’Are you for real right now? I never told a single lie on her.’’‘’You are a thief, Miranda, and every thief is also a liar.’’There is an argument, well, it is mostly Miranda yelling at Gwen, telli

A month after, Liam runs into Miranda and her little brother while he was getting lunch. She stares at him for a while before looking away. When they call her number, she collects the take-away bag and hurries out. Liam turns to watch after her to see that she is looking in at him. She gives a small smile, then walks away.Liam's number gets called, and he collects the food for him and Annie.When Liam gets back to Wellington, Annie greets him with a huge smile.‘’Get the champagne Mr. Tate, we did it!’’ She cheers.‘’Did what?’’ Liam asks.Annie's face falls. ‘’Trending, it got approved!’’Realization hits Liam, and a slow smile spread across his face.‘’That’s amazing. I never thought they would take me seriously when I said I want to create my own social media.’’Annie laughs. ‘’What do you mean? You are Liam freaking Tate; anyone would have approved of this. They see how innovative and successful you are. Of course, they would want to jump on board this.’’‘’I just never thought.

While Annie and Liam are sitting about discussing business, she begins to cough uncontrollably.‘’Are you ok?’’ Liam asks, passing her a bottle of water.‘’I’m fine,’’ Annie nods before taking a sip.‘’You sure?’’Annie waves him off.As they get back to talking, she starts to cough again. She uses a napkin to cover her mouth. When she removes it after her fitful episode, there is blood on the napkin.‘’Annie, you are not ok. Let me take you to the hospital.’’“Liam, I’m fine. Trust me.’’‘’That’s blood. You are far from being fine.’’Annie sighs.‘’Don’t worry about me, sir.’’Liam shakes his head, but again Annie tells him not to worry about her.The two go on with their discussion without any more coughing fit, but that still doesn’t keep Liam from worrying about the older woman.***Later that night, a phone call from the hospital wakes Liam from his sleep.‘’Is this Mr. Tate?’’‘’Yes.’’At first Liam thought it was about Craig, thinking that he might have said something, and they
