140: Trial
The following day, Benjamin Price was wheeled into the court gallery by a police officer.His sons were as well present with the lawyer they had hired to defend him. While Avery, Triple M was already in the dock, ready to testify against Benjamin Price and plead guilty to his murder attempt."Where is the victim?" The judge looked around, expecting to see Liam but he couldn't find him. Even his place on the left dock was empty."He has business to take care of," Avery provided, making sure her voice was firm and bold."Upon knowing we have a trial?" Asked the judge, because he was confused at this. He thought Liam would be present."He's the victim after all, he's not here but we can still communicate with him while he's away," Avery opened the laptop on the chair beside her. Her face spread into a small smile as she popped some buttons on the keyboard. It seemed as though she already knew what she was doing.There was a short pause as people exchanged confused looks. They wondered w

141: The Letter
Meanwhile, Liam was still having a hard time in jail, from being taunted to being bullied. No one even knew about his real identity, the burlier men hit him when they wanted to and sent him to run their errands.He was being treated lowly since he was a newbie and didn't look cruel like the rest of the prisoners. If they were released from jail one way or the other, national security would not be at risk since these men were way too dangerous for their own good. It'd be a risk for them to move freely in public because the lives of people would be at stake.Liam heard awful tales of how these men killed people, most had killed hundreds while the rest had lost count of the people they had unalive.Liam struggled in his day-to-day life in prison, from filling his stomach with water, since he couldn't eat the disgusting food, to working and having his money taken from him. All the time. Robb didn't do any of his jobs even when the coaster bus took them to different destinations to work,

142: More Letters, Training
The letter was from Avery as Liam had expected. She wrote him three days ago and it took two days before it got delivered to him.___Dear LiamHow is prison treating you? I know it's not good but I hope it's not as bad as people claim it is. I've always wanted to write you but I tend to forget because I get bone tired every day. Handling your company and mine has to be the most complicated thing ever. Benjamin Price lost the case and was given two life sentences, while Triple M has five life sentences, can you imagine? I need you to tell me all about your experience in prison, and the challenges you face. Eagerly waiting for your response. I added some money to the envelope which I took time in folding so it would not be suspicious that I am sending you money. I know you'd like to write me back and you'll be needing money to bribe the prison guards to post your letters. PS: I'll keep attaching the dollar bills to the letters each time I write you, and know it's not for free. You'll

143: The Fight
It was never Liam's intention to get into a fight with Robb but from the on look of things, a fight was impending. Thinking about how Robb ruined a meal he wanted to enjoy made Liam seeth in ten shades of red once more.So when Robb sent his fist flying to connect with Liam's face, Liam dodged immediately and took some steps backward.He did it in a very professional way as if he had been dodging blows all his life. Even Lewis Baker was standing at some corner with a smug expression on his face.The prisoners were abandoning their trays of food and gathering, while they kept urging them to fight.Liam was still the newbie and Robb was a dangerous person who more than half of the prisoners feared. So it was interesting to see both him and Liam like that. Liam curled his fingers into tight hard fists as he continued the glare exchange with Robb. He didn't know if he was strong enough to beat Robb but he knew he would try as much as he could to defend himself from Robb."Hanging with L

144: Punishment
It was worse than Liam ever thought when he went into the first restroom to clean up a few hours later.He hesitated before going in there and when he entered he realized that it was way worse than he predicted.It felt like the prisoners already knew he was coming so they deliberately messed up the place by leaving bits of poop everywhere.It was too much for Liam to take at the moment, it felt like he had reached his end. Ordering him to clean the restrooms was still the same as being a poop carrier.Liam cursed under his breath and immediately ran out because he almost gagged at the sight.The stench alone was way too much for his nostrils to handle at that point, and he felt he would get sick from it.He pressed his back against the wall as he panted and puffed out heavy breaths, wondering if he could go back in there and clean just as he was ordered by the prison Warden, Mr. MacFarlane.Why didn't the man give him a different kind of punishment like doing hard jobs or sending him

145: Where Is Liam Price?
"You!?" Charlotte was stunned to see Hunter in her room. He had climbed his way in through the window."Please hear me out," Hunter held up his hands in defense."No, get away from here," Charlotte sneered at him.And Hunter curled his fingers into tight hard fists upon seeing how stubborn and persistent she was."Listen to me Charlotte, it wasn't me who leaked the video of us kissing." He was already nearing her side."Then who did it?" Charlotte folded her arms across her chest."Sinclair, the boy who you killed," Hunter let a slice of silence pass before he responded to her questions.And Charlotte scoffed in absolute disbelief."How did you know I killed him?" She inquired and lifted a perfectly shaped brow at him."That's how you do your things," Hunter had this small smile playing on his lips as he walked until he was standing in front of her."Shut up and get out of this place," Charlotte threw the pillows at him.He didn't move out of the way, he let them hit him instead."I'm

146: More Lies
Liam received a letter from Avery two days later. She talked about how Charlotte was starting to question his whereabouts. She also added that it could be that his father's wife was aware that he was in prison. Liam could tell that Avery was starting to get worried and wanted to know when he would return.He wrote her back and lied that a month was added to his jail term, making it three months in total, because he had already clocked two months in prison. Meanwhile, he had barely five days left to be released. Liam lied because he wanted to surprise everyone, mostly Avery who had been his backbone over the past two months. She handled his business like her own and ensured stocks didn't drop.Avery wasn't completely at ease when she received Liam's letter in the following two days. She was getting more tense because Charlotte still kept watchful eyes on her. Worst, Charlotte sent a duplicate of the photo Hunter had given her. The photos someone had taken from a hidden spot."Fuck!" A

147: Strong Woman
To Avery's uttermost dismay, Hunter Gail showed up at the daily noon meeting the following day. The man was looking all dressed up in an expensive business suit and he was seated beside Charlotte Price.Avery blinked a couple of times, wondering if she was seeing things or if it was truly Hunter Gail seated at the table. "You're five minutes late to the meeting, Avery Duffer." And it was still Hunter who said this, while everyone else remained silent."What's going on here?" Avery burst out, referring to the person who just spoke.And Charlotte, who had a smug expression on, decided to speak up before anyone else could."He's back to reclaim his position at the company after being manipulated to resign.""You can't do this in Liam's absence," Avery was totally against this, nor could she hide her displeasure.Charlotte looked behind her as if she was in search of someone."Liam? You mean the one who was given a five-year jail term for a murder attempt?" She inquired with mockery in h

148: Back From Prison (I)
Liam had a hard time bidding his friends goodbye. He had spent two months with them and he could feel his heart quaking in his chest, as he hugged and shook hands with them. During his short stay in prison, he became very popular because of his fight with Robb and his men. And then he made all the inmates eat good food, from his own pocket. They let him go after he had promised to visit them once more."I thought someone was coming to pick you up?" Mr. McFarlane asked as he escorted Liam out."No, I'm going by myself," Liam replied, carefully not adding the part that he lied to his people that they extended his stay to another month."Farewell Liam Price, visit us soon."Liam gave the prison warden a little smile before waving him, and then the prison gates were closed.For the first in two months, Liam was out of jail as a free man. When he first arrived, he couldn't wait to leave. And now that he had been liberated, he missed his friends. In prison, he was made to do hard labor and

149: Back From Prison (II)
Avery was having a hangover the next morning because she drank more than half of a liquor bottle. She groaned as she rose from the bed because the harsh morning sun was penetrating through the windows and adding weight to her migraine."I thought about Liam to the extent I dreamed of him," she yawned and stretched at the same time.It was a Friday morning, and already past 10 AM when she stared at the wall clock."Shit," she hissed under her breath as she dashed into the bathroom to wash up. Ten minutes later, she rushed out wearing a bathrobe as she proceeded to blow-dry her hair."I'll bet those bastards are cooking something up this time," Avery spoke to her reflection in her dressing mirror."And Liam hasn't even written back to me. It's been four days since I sent him that letter. I wonder what's wrong with him."Someone knocked on her door, and upon thinking it was a maid, she permitted the door to be opened.In came a strange man, wearing an apron."Who are you?" Avery frowned
