It was the following day when a nurse announced to Avery and Stevie-lou that Liam was awake when the two of them sprinted into the room at once. They had to wait until they slept outside and it was finally morning before they were allowed to see Liam. Liam who had managed to sit upright was stunned to see the two of them together. He had a cast on his neck and his face was still puffy despite some parts of it had been stitched over the night. He was in pain but was surprised that Stevie-lou was still in the same dress from last night. And Avery was there."Oh, my god. Liam," Stevie-lou sank on her knees when she reached his side and touched him. She was suddenly emotional to see his face looking different, and upon remembering what she heard from Avery last night. "I'm so sorry you have to go through this, I'm sorry for being insensitive and stupid, I should've been more mature..it just hurts to know you were trying to protect me this entire time," Stevie-lou sobbed as she put her f

The next person whom Liam went to was Triple M. The middle-aged man was already holding onto the bars of his cell, pondering over his actions when he saw Liam there.He wasn't expecting to see the young man whom he beat until he passed out. The occurrence was late evening of the previous day, yet it wasn't even up to twenty-four hours and Liam was there in front of him, with a cast on his neck and a stitch on his nose."You," Triple M growled."How long has it been since you were illegally released from prison? A week or less?" Liam deliberately did this to irk him. Before he got there, he hardened his heart because just at the mere sight of Triple M revived past traumas."I wish I had killed you when I had the chance to," Triple M's hate for Liam was already visible on his face."You know, this is your favorite phrase for me. You were paid off to kill me but greediness made you prolong things, you wanted my wealth. Something you never knew about how it came in the first place," Liam

Benjamin Price was rushed to the hospital but that didn't mean he was liberated. Two policemen were still outside his hospital ward and despite him being in a coma, his right hand was still chained to the bed, so he wouldn't use any means to escape if he hurt himself. Liam who had overheard this didn't feel any form of remorse for the old man, he was starting to harden his heart towards each and every one of his enemies. "He's yet to wake up from a coma and the trial is in two days," Sinclair informed Liam the following day at his office.Liam drummed his fingers on his desk and clenched his jaw. He seemed to be extremely grumpy and in a sour mood."Last time, I called the prosecutor that I was willing to drop charges, so Charlotte was freed from the cell because she was yet to be exposed for my father's murder. Now this is different, I'll meet my uncle in court even if they'll have to bring him to the court gallery through a stretcher.""What if he dies?" Sinclair raised his brows.

"What is so important that you couldn't tell me over the phone?" Avery held her chin up when she opened the door to Liam. Liam waited for her to move away so he could make his way into the apartment."My ex-girlfriend just told me she's pregnant,""Who, Stevie-Lou?" To say Avery Duffer was shocked was an understatement, her eyes were as huge as saucers as she stiffened."No, it's the first one. Chloe," Liam said with a low sigh as he tugged off his tie."How in the world is that even possible? Did you touch her?" Avery could barely believe her ears. She hesitated before slamming the door shut. "No, I haven't. We already broke up before my true identity was revealed.""Then what the fuck is going on?" Avery asked no one in particular."She fought her way into my office late this morning, forced a pregnancy test result in my face, and claimed I am the father." Liam provided."I thought you said she left you for someone else?""She started cheating on me with him three months ago, the

Liam staggered backward and bumped into a wall when the doctor removed the white counterpane, revealing Sinclair's dead body. It felt like a dream to him as he watched everything unfolding right before his eyes. Liam's throat tightened with several emotions that it felt like his world was falling apart.His heart rose in his chest and slammed against his ribcage as his knees gave out underneath him and he dropped to the floor. He could barely feel anything. He felt totally numb while he was still processing things until something struck him hard like a bolt of lightning.For a few seconds, he forgot what it felt like to have air flow freely into someone's lungs. His mouth parted so he could catch his breath, but he used it for something else. "No!" Liam's cry was enough to shred down walls as his large body trembled along with him."He's not dead, dammit!" Liam jammed his fist into his palm."I am so sorry, Mr. Price, but he's not alive anymore. He was driving home with Doctor Re
