Liam walks over to the car and knocks on the window. He tries his best to hide his upset.Nova gets out and throws herself at him."Liam," she said before sobbing.Liam pushes her back. "What are doing here? Blocking me out of my own driveway."Nova wipes her eyes with her thumbs, a signal to Liam that she hadn't really been crying."It's bad Liam, my parents kicked me out because I lost the Yorkville division.""I don't care. Move your car.""What? How can you not care about me?""Because I don't. You mean nothing to me. After the way you made me look like an idiot before all those people and your family.""But Liam." Nova grabs his sleeve."Get off me!" He pushes her back. "Go cry to Cameron."Nova takes on a sad look. "He doesn't want me.""Neither do I, so you are out of luck in marrying a rich man."Nova pouts and causes her lip to tremble. "Liam, I'm sorry. Ok, I came to you because this is the only place I could think of. You have been so good to me before and I didn't mean to

Annie stares at Liam, wondering if she should say what has been plaguing her because she has been worried about Liam.‘’Liam, sir. I know that it isn’t any of my business, but I have to say something. I am concerned about you and this… thing.’’Liam seems confused by that. ‘’What thing?’’Annie sighs. ‘’I don’t want you to go down a path of no return. You are a good guy Liam, and I would hate to see you turning into one of those rich old bastards you hate.’’‘’I’m not following.’’‘’Ok. I understand that you want to gain revenge and I support you one hundred on what you want to do, but just be careful to not lose yourself while doing so.’’‘’I’m not going to lose myself.’’ Liam laughs. ‘’After ruining the Graysons as they are planning to do to me. I will stop because so far, they are the only ones who continue to play with me.’’‘’Good, because if you want to change the place, then you can’t be like them. You are already earning mass respect and I want it to stay that way.’’Before Li

When Liam gets home, he sees Nova in distress. Walking the length of the living room and talking to herself.“Hey, is everything ok? You look-’’ he trails off.Nova gasps because she never notices him standing there.‘’Uh, yeah, yeah. I’m fine.’’‘’You don’t look ok.’’ Liam gives her a look.Nova wrings her fingers, not knowing what to say then she finally lets out. ‘’I messed up.’’‘’What did you do?’’ Liam gets serious, looking around, but doesn’t see anything amiss.‘’You are making me worry, what is it, Nova?’’‘’Everything is ok, ok? This has everything to do with me and my family and nothing to do with you.” Nova shakes her head.‘’What do you mean?’’“Well… maybe you can help.”Liam folds his arms over his chest. ‘’With what?’’“I was trying to make a deal with this new company, but it turns out that the place was a lot worse than we thought but didn’t realize until after we purchased some shares.’’Liam gives a small smile that he covers up quickly because he knows Nova is lyi

‘’Dad, can I come with you?’’ Nova asks, batting her eyes, thinking that she has done something great.‘’I suppose, you were the one to get this information for us.’’Kyle rolls his eyes. ‘’Let's not forget that she is the only one to put us in this situation in the first place.’’‘’Shut up, because if it wasn’t for your big mouth that day we could have gotten that deal.’’ Mrs. Grayson frowns.No one dares to protest.Nova walks ahead of everyone, glad that even though she has been back with Liam for less than a week, it was much calmer than at the Grayson residence.It is constant bickering between them, everyone blaming each other and not taking any blame for what had happened as their fault.Mr. Grayson fixes his tie. ‘’Well, let's go, I have spent money on those places and want to see how things are going.’’Overnight, Mr. Grayson bought the land from Mr. Jergens and the fishery. Pumping five million dollars in each into purchasing the land and fishery, then another fifty million

Mr. Grayson meets with Mr. Jergens later that day. Pointing a finger in his face.‘’I want my money back!’’Mr. Jergens looks at his lawyer.‘’I’m afraid that won’t be possible, Mr. Grayson. You signed a contract with my client, stating that you want immediate buy out of his land.’’‘’I change my mind because that place is nothing but shit, and now I see why you were so eager to sell it.’’ Mr. Grayson snaps. ‘’Mr. Grayson, you are at fault for not making any check to see if the premise were up to standard. You have no one to blame but yourself.’’‘’I am going to sue.’’ Mr. Grayson says, he looks at his lawyer and he nods.‘’Go ahead and we will counter-sue. Taking what little cents you have left. Maybe if you weren’t so in a rush, you would have let Mr. Jergens state the problems of the lands. But you wanted it so badly that you gave him the cash up front, took the deed, and chased us off your property.’’Mr. Grayson’s lawyer looks at him. ‘’Did you make a purchase without really hea

“Annie, it has been a month. Have you heard anything about our repayment?’’‘’No, sir. But I will make a call today.’’‘’Yes, get it done.’’Liam goes to his office with a smile, knowing that he had single-handedly destroyed a family who have dominated the city with their trickery.Annie comes into his office. ‘’Sir, Mr. Grayson is saying that he won’t be able to make the payment anytime soon.’’‘’He can’t?’’‘’No.’’‘’I will take action, tell him to meet me at the loan company.’’The car takes Liam a few blocks away, where he sees Mr. Grayson, Kyle, and Mrs. Greyson entering the building. The old man seem to have aged behind his years the last time Liam saw him.‘’What are you doing here?’’ Kyle sneers. ‘’Here to take out a loan, poor man,’’ he mocks.‘’I didn’t know that a rich man like you take out loans. Or maybe you really are poor and is just pretending to be rich.’’ Mrs. Grayson joins in. ‘’I’m glad my daughter left you.’’Liam shakes his head, seeing that after all that is hap

Within two hours of buying the company from Mr. Grayson, Liam changed the name to Tate LLC and the telephone operators can’t answer the phone fast enough to sign all the clients Mr.Grayson had and more.Annie grins as she shows him the tablet. ‘’It is projecting that we will have more clients than the Graysons ever did, and the income. Three hundred million dollars already.’’Liam smiles as he sits back with his hand behind his head. ‘’That is very good to hear.‘’You did good, Liam.’’ Annie comments. ‘’We should have a party to celebrate your accomplishments.’’‘’What? A party can’t be set up so quickly for today.’’Annie smiles. ‘’Just allow me to make a few calls and you will be surprised, go home and get ready.’’Liam laughs. ‘’Alright, I’ll take your word for it.’’****Dressed in a navy blue suit, and sleek back hair. Liam steps out of his car as soon as he does. Cameron comes up to him.‘’Well, if it isn’t the poor man who got rich overnight. Success is sweet, isn’t it?’’‘’Wha

While talking to a few big fish from Notting Hill, Liam hears a big crash and laughs, so he turns his attention to it. There on the ground are a few drinks that had fallen to the ground. The waitress begins to apologize before hurrying to the kitchen area.‘’You are doing very well for yourself young man, your mother must be smiling down at you as we speak,’’ a man says.‘’Thank you. I like to think so myself.’’ Liam smiles.‘’Yes, I like what you did to Grayson. That man has been working on my nerves for the last five years. You did what many of us didn’t have the balls to do.’’ Another says.‘’It seems as if you men were afraid of that old-’’A man laughs, cutting Liam off. ‘’No, we were never afraid of that man. But when he has the titles to our businesses, we have to turn a blind eye to what he does.’’Liam takes a sip from his drink to not say anything, because the way he sees it, most of the big sharks on Notting Hill were afraid of Mr. Grayson, and with that, Kyle throws his we

The next day, Liam gets to work and asks Annie if it is possible if she could source a list of workers from the night of his party.‘’Why did something happen?’’Liam is hesitant to tell his assistant that he is pursuing a girl who has no interest in him, as it seems.‘’No, I am just trying to find a worker.’’‘’Ok, I’ll see what I can do.’’ Annie leaves the room.Not too long after, she comes back to show him the list of servers that were working last night.He points at a picture. ‘’This woman here.’’Annie taps a few times on her tablet before the information comes up.‘’Her name is Mercedes Webb.’’‘’Ok, I need all the information I can about her.’’Annie raises a brow but says nothing. She leaves the room for a second time, only to come back inside immediately. ‘’Mr. Tate, Mr. Tate,’’ she exclaims, then shows him the tablet.In bold, are the words, ‘have the Wellington Group committed fraud?’ and another one that says, ‘Liam Tate and the Wellington Group under investigation for s

Liam holds onto Annie’s arm. ‘’Don’t worry, we will get out of this.’’ A fat officer comes by eating donuts. He takes a look at the two and laughs. ‘’Well, the hot shot of the city is behind bars. Who would have thought?’’ ‘’Why are you doing this to us? We didn’t commit fraud or a scam!’’ Annie yells at him. The man wiggles a finger close to her face. ‘’Even if you did or didn’t, I’m glad to put scums like you behind bars.’’ ‘’I want to see the proof you have because you are lying on our names.’’ The officer laughs and walks away. ‘’Annie, don’t waste your breath on him or any of them. I know who is doing this and when we get out, they are going to pay for lying on our names.’’ ‘’Who? Who is doing this to us?’’ Liam shakes his head. Another officer soon comes by. He throws some food on the ground and says. ‘’Eat up, that will be your only food for the rest of the day.’’ ‘’You are treating us like caged animals. How dare you?’’ Annie yells. ‘’Does it matter what I do? It’s n
