Smiling like a maniac, Alaric walked towards the cafe, his head held up high like he had just been appointed the president. “Sir, this way.” Giovanni said, leading the way to the cafe where Liam was seated.Immediately Liam saw Alaric approaching him, he emptied the content of his coffee down his throat and then rose to his feet. “Please have your seat, you're still a part of us until the forensics team proves your guilt.” He said, pulling out the chair opposite him. Pressing his lips into a thin line, Liam cleared his throat and then plopped on the seat he was occupying.With his legs crossed and hands intertwined on his chest, he asked, “Why did you come to me? You would have simply asked for my presence and I will be by your side.” “I would have done that but on the other hand, I don't want more publicity.” Turning towards Giovanni, he stepped forward, “The TV station has stopped the broadcast.” “You see, I’m not bluffing.” “No thanks.” “I know you wouldn't appreciate my eff

It was at this moment that Xavier realised they had been holding hands all the while and at once he pulled away, glaring at him. “What was that for?” He huffed, glaring at him. “You looked pissed so I decided to reassure you.” Liam laughed. After a brief silence, Xavier cleared his throat and with his hand resting on the table, he leaned towards him. “If they get to know I'm the one who helped you with all these, my job will be at stake but nevertheless, I will be the whistleblower.” Stunned, Liam couldn't utter a word. He kept staring with his mouth slightly apart, trying to wrap his head around what he just heard. “Do you have a second job?” Liam asked. “Nope, I will find something else to do. You don't have to bother about me.” Xavier said, flashing him a smile. “Bother about you? I’m just helping.” He scoffed, pulling the envelope to himself but Dave took it from him. “I can't believe you're toying with your life. You think after proving Liam's innocence only your job wou

It was thirty minutes into the hearing and all evidence that was brought forward was pointing towards Liam. The room was tension filled but despite all these, Liam maintained decorum. It was as if he wasn't even the one that was on a hot seat. Xavier, pacing from one end to the other, had his fingers inside his mouth. He was chewing on them like it was his last meal.Since it was aired live for the whole country, Rose and Naya were with Granny Elena and Sam in the family mansion to watch the proceedings. Granny Elena was already disappointed when Liam wouldn't say anything to defend himself but Sam who had been brainwashed by Nathan after his last visit to the hospital kept reassuring her that Liam was innocent.To avoid Madam Aurelia from slumping since they were unsure of the outcome of the meeting, they had placed her on pills. “I think we should give Williams Armani a chance to speak.” Khan said and at once everyone agreed.Alaric, scared that Liam was going to counter everythi

Chapter 166Fiddling with his finger like a child who was caught stealing cookies, Dave kept staring at the picture Liam was staring at.The more he stared at it, the angrier he became. “Who are these? They look identical, are they twins, or friends?” Liam asked, staring at him as he used his eyes to probe for answers. “That is my brother and I.” He muttered. Stunned, Liam adjusted on his seat as he tried to wrap his head around what he had just heard. The person Dave claimed he was, was entirely different from his current look and so Liam was wondering how possible it was. Shaking his head sideways, he huffed, “Man, if you insist on keeping your true identity of yourself, I'm sorry I wouldn't be able to work with you anymore.” Liam was pissed now. He hated the fact that Dave kept lying to him like he was a kid. “I'm not telling a lie.” Dave said with a low tone. After a brief silence, he turned towards Liam, and his eyes reddened with anger. This was the first time Liam was s

  Fully aware that Alaric had found something about him, Dave nodded, giving him a go ahead.  Pulling out a file from his briefcase, Giovanni, placed it on the table while Alaric ran his fingers on the edges. Smirking, he tilted his head, with a smile on his lips as he stared at Dave whose heart was slamming against his chest in quick succession.  Even though he was expecting this to happen, Dave was getting scared with each passing minute but somehow, he managed to keep his cool while Alaric on his part kept teasing him. After thinking about this over and over again, he strongly believed Dave was the same person he knew several years a
