"I was kidnapped yesterday," Liam had his eyes fixated on Hunter when he made this known to everyone, and jaws dropped to the floor."It hadn't even clocked twenty-four hours as CEO of my father's company, yet someone disguised himself as my butler, drove me into a remote area, and shot me. I would have been a lump of dead meat by now." Again, gasps flew around the conference hall.Hunter took a rough gulp and remained silent. There was nothing he could do at this point but to avoid Liam's burning gaze. He knew he had been caught."That's too much to happen, you only just buried your father yesterday," "Who would want to kill him?""He was found last week and now they want him dead?"Liam was pleased to hear this from the members of the executive committee. "My kidnappers are still being tortured as I speak," Liam pressed another button and then an image of them was shown on the screen, "soon they'd confess and the real traitor would be locked in jail.""Perhaps you had enemies befo

It rained heavily that night and Liam found himself unable to sleep. It was hard to freely toss in bed because his arm hurt, so he just laid on his left side and had his eyes wide open. Every day, he was figuring out new things in the Price family, and for him to be safe, he needed to go out of his comfort zone to secretly learn their ways. It was risky not to take risks.There was a need to study the Price family from the youngest, Georgie Price, and then to the oldest, Benjamin Price. Hunter had men shoot him, so Liam knew he needed to play the same game with him. And Stevie-Lou's wedding with Ted was barely eleven days away.That wasn't all. Liam was new to the business world and even though he was smart, there was a need for improvement in his life.Liam rose from his bed to pour himself some water since his throat felt dry. The heavy downpour wasn't even close to stopping. And as Liam drank his water, his mind drifted off to the struggling time with Emily. How it rained and t

"Beatrice got into a fatal accident and lost a lot of blood, she's somewhere between life and death," Gibson broke this news to Liam.And panic immediately punched out of Liam's lungs as hair raised in his pores. "She needs a blood transfusion or she won't make it," they were in the waiting area in the hospital."Charlotte's blood did not match, nor did Arthur's. Georgie is barely nine so he's out of the picture. A few persons have been brought and it wasn't compatible. She has only a few hours left for survival."Liam fought to control his breath. Hearing Gibson tell him this weakened every part of his body, that he couldn't even move or speak.Why? Because it made him remember Emily. How he couldn't save her because he had no money.How could Beatrice of all people have an accident? Their father was buried three days ago, he was shot two days ago and now Beatrice, the only girl, was having a near-death experience?"Where is she?" Liam's voice was cranky."Private ward 027," Gibson

Dressed as Clumsy Thomas once more, Liam found his way into Ted Price's underground fight club. At first, he was a bit unsure of himself since he had never been there, but his eagerness to explore the dangerous world of Ted Price made him refuse to turn around and head back in the same direction he came from.It was that same evening. Sinclair had given him the fight club's location which was disguised with a pizza parlor. There was a tiny dark hallway that led to two doors. Liam took the first and was redirected outside but when he returned and took the one on his left, a rusty lift took him 30 feet down. And then, he heard cheers from a large number of people before he could even see them. Liam met two bouncers at the entrance, he handed them his $50 bill and then he was checked with a device to detect if he had any knife or firearm, or something suspicious to leak their hidden fight club. When they found none, they let him pass.Liam gulped upon seeing the crowd chanting to suppor

Stevie-Lou felt a bit out of place as she walked into the Grand Five-Star Hotels. People were clad in tuxes and dresses, unlike her who was wearing her usual tomboy clothing. She shoved the discomfort out of her mind because she was there for her job.After overhearing the announcement of Avery Dupree's fundraising Event, she stole an invitation card, assuming she'd be granted access upon her arrival. Because the event was strictly for people around Avery's wealthy circle.Stevie-Lou's target was one Bryce Canon, who was rumored to be a Con Artist but no evidence was yet provided. She wanted to have a one-on-one conversation with him because he was seen around her colleague who got murdered the following day."Sorry, miss. I can't let you in," the male usher shook his head at Stevie-Lou when she handed him her invitation card."But this is it," she frowned at him."You came to the right place at the wrong time," The usher rolled his eyes in their sockets because a queue was right beh
