Liam didn't return home that night, he stayed at the hospital until he was allowed to go into Avery's ward and there, he could see her laying on the hospital bed with a breathing tube connected to her mouth. Doctor Wesley told him it would take her a long time for her to wake up, some days or even weeks, still, it was enough for Liam as long as she was alive.Still, it hurt to see her that way. She was all alone. No parent, siblings, or even lover, or they would've shown up after hearing the news. Liam could still recall the first time she met with him, it was at his father's funeral when she approached him and introduced herself, before suggesting they work together. He refused to trust her, thought everything about her was suspicious since she was too smart for her own good.A dull pain spread through Liam's chest at this.While sitting on the chair next to her hospital bed, Liam slipped her pale cold hand in his. There was never a time he did something for Avery, or even used his

'We should go eat,' Big Tony signed at Liam."I'm not hungry," Liam responded with a sigh.'Still, you need something in your stomach…you'll be tired by tomorrow.' Big Tony stated the obvious, upon seeing how exhausted Liam already looked."Just go away, Tony." Liam waved him off, clearly not in the mood to talk.Big Tony walked until he was standing in front of Liam. He knew he couldn't leave just like that when his boss needed someone by his side."What are you doing, do you want to fight me or something?" Liam finally looked at him, wondering why he was in his front like that. Big Tony could be stubborn at times and did things of his own will.'Your face does look punchable but then you're my boss and I can't hit you.' Big Tony signed.Liam scoffed to himself and put his hand over his mouth as he looked at Big Tony. The man was acting like the big brother and friend he never had. None of his employees had spoken this way to him before."You're really persistent, aren't you?" Liam a

It was 4:55 AM when Liam received a text message from an unknown sender. He hadn't even slept a wink since Avery was kidnapped last night. It was impossible for him to fall asleep upon knowing someone was out there, suffering all for his sake. Someone who was still with fresh bullet wounds.After reading through the text message, he slipped his phone back into his pocket and clenched his fists so hard until they cracked. It was Avery's kidnapper who texted him their location and asked him to meet them at a seashore, or they'd drown her body.Things were getting even worse, Liam feared that they had already killed her and were just playing games with him because they wanted to kill him too.He had never been in such a tight position before. It felt like he was close to meeting his downfall, after all, the nightmare which haunted him was manifesting in a different way. Because Sinclair switched off his phone and Liam didn't want anyone else to suffer for his sake, he just left witho

Stevie-Lou tried to reach out to Liam once more but it was to no avail. Something which was utterly upsetting because he never acted this way until yesterday.His phone kept going on voicemail and it seemed as though he was ignoring her, so she went straight to the Price Enterprise at noon, clad in her warehouse uniform.She was determined to meet with him whether he liked it or not because she felt he had no right to treat her that way when she cared deeply for him.It was Big Tony who came out to meet her when she showed up at his office.'Where is your boss?' Stevie-Lou was too upset to speak so she made use of sign language instead.'He's too busy at the moment, he can't see anyone,' Big Tony signed back. But it seemed as though he knew something she didn't.'Why has he been avoiding me, it's giving me the wrong impression about him.' Stevie-Lou signed, hoping for an honest answer from Big Tony. 'Something came up.''I need to speak with him, it's important.''Then you should wai

Unedited (Will Be Fixed Within twenty-four hours)The kids were taken to the beach house because Liam doubted they would want to stay at his house. He wasn't even around to show his face because he had a feeling it would not settle well with Arthur and mostly Georgie, so he stayed away and put servants at their beck and call for the meantime.Because they truly needed his help, little Georgie wouldn't just text him of things hadn't gotten unbearable for them, his older siblings were alreay feeling too guilty to ask for help, upon knowing their parents cause him so much distress. But Georgie was smart, didn't want to hold on to it.Liam knew was supposed to avoid them and cut off all ties with them because their father, Hunter Gail was after his life. Still Hunter Gail was the reason Avery Duffer was at the hospital, sent some men to kill him for twice within the space of eight hours.But when Georgie texted Liam and told him about their situation, he felt touched, knew he couldn't let
