‘’It’s raining,’’ Miranda states.“Yeah.” Liam nods. “You wouldn’t have noticed it with all the noise inside.’’ He then takes his jacket off and hands it to Miranda.‘’Why are you giving me this?’’‘’I know it might not be much, but it will keep most of the rain out.’’When she makes no move to take the jacket, Liam leans forward and places her jacket around her shoulders. With his closeness, she can smell his cologne and takes a deep breath, drinking in the spicy scent.For a few seconds, Miranda stands there a little dazed but then follows Liam to his car. Liam opens the door and helps Miranda to sit on the low seat, then jogs around to the driver’s side. He pauses after seeing Mercedes at the door staring out at him.He hurries over to the club entrance and immediately she gives him the cold shoulder.‘’What? One woman can’t satisfy you?’’‘’Why do I even care about you?’’ Liam shakes his head.And he doesn’t know why. There is truly nothing special about Mercedes and he would rat

‘’About your wife… er… ex-wife.’’‘’What about her?’’‘’Why did you two divorce?’’‘’Because I wasn’t good enough for her.’’Miranda gives a laugh. ‘’You are just being ridiculous.’’‘’I came from a poor background, and she helped me out in many ways. Sending me back to school and all that stuff, but it came with manipulation.’’‘’So you left?’’‘’I was forced to divorce her after her family learn about my lack of finances. They didn’t want a poor son-in-law in their family. I thought she loved me and would have stood by myself, but she only shamed me.’’‘’That’s so bad.’’‘’Turns out a pre-med student who could have become a doctor wasn’t enough for them.’’‘’If only they could see you now, huh?’’Liam chuckles.‘’After finding out that I have all this, she tried to come back into my life. And that’s why I use women. They all think the same. They all believe that with their appearances, ability in bed, and perfect bodies, they can attract my attention.’’‘’What are you looking for in

The next day, Liam reaches his company early in the morning. Before even Annie, which is unusual for both of them. When he gets to his office, a familiar perfume hits his nostrils. Chanel #5. Before he could say anything, his chair spins and he is shocked to see Mrs. Grayson instead of Nova. ‘’Well, if it isn’t the little unexpected, wretched son-in-law who has ruined my family. You sent my son to prison, messed up my daughter's life, and stole my husband’s company.’’ ‘’What do you want, old lady?’’ Liam had thought she of all would have curled up in a hole and died, but no, instead she is in his office insulting him. ‘’I want what is rightfully mine. I can’t let you just get away with this.’’ ‘’It is all done and over, so leave my office before I get security to throw you out.’’ ‘’It is all done for you, because I have sold the story of who you really are to every single media house in this city. Soon they all will know why you were so hell-bent on ruining my family. Let’s see

‘’This is a bit tricky… well, more like complicated.’’ The new chef of police says.‘’How is this complicated? That wom- that woman is lying on me. I have never had any sexual relations with Shannon, much less to force myself onto her.’’ Liam says between teeth, trying to check his anger.‘’Yes, but we need to do a thorough investigation on this matter.’’‘’Fine then, and when you see that I have never done anything to her, I will be pressing charges.’’‘’Very well, but just so you know. There was another woman who came forward and said the same thing. She wishes for her identity to not be revealed, but until our investigation is done.’’Liam sighs. ‘’How long will this take?’’“If both women are willing to corporate and you as well, things should go over smoothly.’’Liam stands, not having much to say to the new chief of police.‘’Annie, is the lunch meeting set to go?’’ he asks as they leave the police office.‘’Yes, you can bet on it.’’***During the lunch, Mr. Lindo, a speaker fo

Liam gets a message from an unknown number: ‘’Dear Liam, I know you must be wondering if you know the secret person who is accusing you of assault. Why don’t you join me at the Whinmah Hotel? I will reveal myself and also go over a proposal to make this all go away. Come alone.’’Liam scoffs at the screen, thinking that he would go just to humor the person.He messages Annie and asks her to get a list of all those who will be dining at the Whinmah that night, but she tells him that they won’t give out a private list like that.Liam sighs, knowing that he has to take a different approach.His phone comes off again: ‘’seven-thirty sharp, I’ll be at the back.’’Liam grips his steering wheel and drives off, thinking that he might as well just play the person’s stupid game. Hear what they have to say and if, only if it is reasonable, then he will comply.If not, then he has something up his sleeve to get the person who is trying to frame him for crimes he never did behind bars.***At seve

When Liam gets to his car, it pissed him to see scratch marks all over the paint job.He walks back to the man at the podium. ‘’I thought you had an eye out for my car?’’‘’Yeah, but they paid me to keep my mouth shut.’’‘’How much?’’ Liam asks.‘’A fifty, so if you can come with better.’’Liam grabs the man by the collar. ‘’If you mean by better, you mean behind bars? Then gladly, and the men in there would love a lump of fresh meat like you.’’The man gulps. ‘’It was a chick, red hair and very shapely.’’‘Shannon,’ Liam thought.‘’Did she say a name?’’‘’No.’’‘’Prison is close by.’’‘’She only said Porter.’’Liam pushes the man away.When he gets back to his car, he is approached by Shannon, who has a hood over her face.‘’What do you want, Shannon?’’‘’How did you recognize me?’’Liam sighs, wondering to himself how he had even fallen for Shannon or Nova. Both are beauty and have no brains.‘’Your face is hard to hide, but you are just as dumb as Nova.’’Shannon frowns at him. ‘’M

Liam gets home and sits in his car for a while, knowing that he can’t say anything to anyone. Not that he fears what Nova, Shannon or whoever else will do but because he doesn’t want anyone involved.Thinking that he will take care of things on his own.Liam goes inside, and Carl greets him.‘’Master Liam, is everything ok?’’Liam gives a stiff nod, knowing that Carl wouldn’t buy it because as he was once told by Nova, he wears his emotions all over his face.‘’Just the troubles of work.’’Carl nods.‘’I would like my dinner in my study, I have much to take care of.’’Liam removes his tie as he makes his way to his study. While there, he sits down and calls Nova.‘’Liam, I never expected your call so soon.’’‘’Hmm, I have been doing some thinking and I decide to take you up on your offer.’’‘’Wonderful, I knew you would come to your senses. And where the fuck do you get off telling Shannon I was begging you to take me back?’’Liam chuckles.‘’I was only messing around.’’‘’I don’t wan

The next morning, Liam puts an extra pep in his step as he gets ready to go to work. He makes sure to wear one of his best suits, thinking that if he is going to do this. Then he needs to look good.When he gets downstairs, he sees Miranda around the table, then tries to remember the night he had.‘’What are you doing here?’’ he asks after not being able to remember any sexual interaction between them.‘’I made sure you got home ok. Craig drove behind me to so shit didn’t go sideways.’’Liam nods. ‘’But you didn’t leave.’’‘’It was late.’’‘’Craig could have brought you home.’’‘’Maybe I didn’t want to leave you.’’Liam frowns at her. ‘’I have maids and a wonderful butler.’’‘’Well, maybe I didn’t want Craig to drive me home.’’‘’Jack could have.’’‘’He is an asshole.’’‘’You could have asked one of my bodyguards to take you home.’’‘’What if I don’t want anyone to know where I live?’’Liam frowns, hating the back-and-forth they are having.‘’Why are you here, Miranda?’’‘’To make sur

‘’Well, if it isn’t Liam. The ‘unexpected son-in-law’ was too bad the Graysons failed at their attempt. I guess they were too foolish to know that you were playing them for a fool.‘’Sorry, but do I know you?’’ Liam ask.‘’Sure big shot, act as if you don’t know me.’’‘’I don’t,’’ Liam tells him.The man sneers in Liam’s face. ‘’Mr. Ballen son, Chris Ballen.’’Liam shakes his head because he still doesn’t know who he speaks of.‘’Don’t ignore me! I am here to run you out of business. I am sick of seeing your face all over these damn tabloids.’’ He throws down a newspaper before Liam, causing his drink to spill.‘’Look, I came here to have a few beers. Not to goof around with anyone, so, please. Go find someone else who is willing to play your childish games.’’Chris scoffs. ‘’I am going to run you out of town, big shot. I am going to show everyone how shit is really done.’’ He laughs. ‘I am going to put you to shame.’’Liam shakes his head, deciding to humor the loud mouth man who is
