Liam didn't say anything to him, instead he lowered himself on the couch with Naya's help. After a long silence which was tension filled, Liam tossed a document at him. “You have to make a promise that you aren't going to return to your sin and also, not trying any funny games in the name of retaliation.” “What about my company? We are crashing and you are the only one I can call for help.” He took a deep breath and with his hands clasped together, he said, “Help me save my company. That is my family's only source of income and I cannot taste the life of penury.” Now sobbing, he grasped his pants, “I was born into affluence, I don't think I can survive a day in penury.” He was sobbing uncontrollably now. Moved to pity, Naya wanted to plead on his behalf but she felt she would be crossing the line since she wasn't the one who was hurted. “You have to sign that first before I decide to help you or not.” Silvan didn't need any further prompting before he signed the documents, not e

Biting his bottom lips, Alaric tilted his head to the side. He was trying hard not to explode in anger but Carlton kept putting him to the test. “Can I at least have a simple explanation of what is going on? You can't barge in here and start creating a scene.” An equally enraged Carlton said, glaring murderously at him. He wanted to go on with his rant but the moment Alaric grabbed the files on his table, he pressed his lips into a thin line. Before he knew what was happening, his office was in a mess but Alaric wasn't done yet. He kept on upturning anything he could lay his hands on until the whole place was a mess. “Here, this is exactly the position I'm in now.” He said, his chest rising and falling. “I have been announced to be a human trafficker, take down the news or I will take you down.” He was pointing his fingers to his face to show he wasn't bluffing. “You should have told me that when you came in earlier instead of creating a scene.” Carlton said after him and at on

A few hours later, Liam decided to see Alaric at the police station where he was locked up in the holding cell. Immediately when Alaric saw him, he walked up to the rods, grasping them like his whole life depended on it. “I had no idea you would come see me here.” He chuckled. “Alaric, this is not funny. You're in deep shit at the moment and the least you can do is to try and wriggle yourself out.” He chided. “Have you found Giovanni, I told you he is the one behind the viral spread of the power tripping video. He said, ignoring his words. “I haven't. I will try tracking him down if he exists though.” “Oh, cut that crap.” He snapped rolling his eyes at him. “You think I didn't find out what happened that night?” He huffed. Rolling his eyes, he gestured to Liam to move an inch closer which he did, “Under your authority, he was switched and changed with the skeleton of a human after infusing his DNA into the bones.” He whispered. Pulling away from him, he began to hit his palm l

A few months later… Standing behind the large mirror in his bedroom, Liam was doing his buttons while Naya went about searching for the perfect tie for him. They were going for an occasion together. It was a get together feast, organized by AI technology to celebrate the recent ground breaking project and worldwide recognition. Just then, Rose barged into his bedroom without bothering to knock. With her hands across her chest and her brows knotted in a frown, she pulled her feet towards his bed, plopping on the edge. “What is the problem?” Naya and Liam asked in unison, both of them rushing to her side. “I'm not in support of this.” She muttered, making Liam roll his eyes. They had been going on this matter back and forth for a while now, yet she was still acting dogmatic. “Come on Rose, we were invited and declining with no valid reason is rude.” “You're the one thinking it's not a valid reason.” She snapped, her hands now resting on her hips. Pulling herself up, she walked

A few days later… Sitting on a chair which he had pulled close to her bed, Liam was resting his head on the bed with Rose’s hand resting on his back. He has placed it that way to feel her warmth. After the incident, she had been in a coma with no signs of waking up anytime soon. Even the doctors were lost and confused, they had no words to say whenever Liam comforted them with his numerous questions. Madam Aurelia and Naya had tried their best to make him leave the hospital but all their efforts had been futile. “Are you going to sit here doing nothing?” Rose's voice rang across the room and at once Liam sat up.For a moment, he left his gaze on Rose who was sleeping peacefully before he began to dart his eyes around as he wondered who had spoken. He was still trying to decide who exactly had spoken when Rose grabbed his arm to aid her sit up. Surprised, Liam's mouth dropped open as he stared at her in shock, it was like he was dreaming. Rolling her eyes, Rose propped herself u
