Chapter 22All through the night, Liam was up, scrolling through his laptop. He had only closed his eyes for a few minutes an hour before dawn. Not wanting to be late, immediately his alarm clock rang, he jumped off the couch he had fallen asleep on and then hurried towards the bathroom to clean up and within five minutes he was fully ready. Now armed with the evidence, he made his way towards the door and after one last look at his laptop which was lying on the table, he stepped out. “The police station.” He yelled at the chauffeur who had refused to turn off his radio. “Sure, get in. That will cost you a ten dollar bill though.” He replied, increasing the volume of the radio. Staying up all night, coupled with the noise from the radio, Liam was uncomfortable and when he couldn't bear it anymore, he scowled, “Turn it off, my head’s splitting.” Thankfully, the chauffeur did as he was told without a fuss. Immediately they arrived at his destination, he paid his fare and then clim

Chapter 24Taken aback for a moment, Liam didn't say anything, instead he was staring back at her with a raised brow. “Yeah, you heard me.” She affirmed. “Why? Is all these necessary?” He asked, displeased with what was happening. “We already have our marriage certificate, what more is there to prove that we are couples?” He groaned.“Pictures, we don't have pictures together. How then are we going to prove that we are couples.” She countered. Chuckling lightly, Liam turned his head to the side as he bit his bottom lips. Everything was happening so fast leaving him in a daze. “What is the issue now? Is it about your time? Fine! We’re going to spend just two hours out there.” “Indeed.” “Believe me this time around. It was my family who made me go back on my words the previous time. I keep my words and I uphold them.” She rapped. “I don't take pictures.” I snapped at her, returning his gaze back to the window. Naya in turn rolled her eyes and then faced the window as she sulked

Chapter 26Immediately he climbed out of Naya’s car, he flagged down a taxi, urging the chauffeur to speed off so she wouldn't have the chance to try talking him into accepting her decision. A few minutes into the drive, he turned around and when he didn't see the black sedan, he relaxed only to return his attention to Rose. He knew she was going to ask where he had been since the previous day and also about the bills which were now settled. At this point, he had nothing to say to her and so he was shifting uneasily in his seat to the extent that the chauffeur noticed it but before he could raise the issue, he scoffed at him. On reaching the hospital, he paid his fare and then began to walk hurriedly into the hospital. When he got to the ward, he was about to push the door in when a nurse walked up to him. Arranging her glances, she looked over him before asking, “Who are you?”That was the exact question Liam had wanted to ask but since she asked first, he had to give her a resp

Chapter 28. The journey of going to meet with his mother took more than half an hour. Though exhausted, he didn't say it out, he had to bear since he was curious to learn about his family. Considering the luxury vehicle, he was expecting the cars to head towards one of the most popular estates or the area where the elites in the society lives but instead they skidded into a dirt road. “What's happening here?” He asked with his eyes almost bulging out. He didn't want to believe that they had deceived him only to end up kidnapping him when he fell for their trap. At this moment, the only thing on his mind was Rose who was still lying on the hospital bed. He was scared knowing that if anything eventually happens to him, then it would be tough on Rose too. “We are heading to our destination.” The leader replied. Still trying to wrap his head around the current situation, Liam began to fiddle with his fingers as he stared straight ahead. He was praying and hoping that they weren't u

Chapter 30.For a while, no one said a word. While Liam was waiting for a response to his question, she was drumming her fingers against the table as she thought of the best response to give to himAfter a lengthy silence, she cleared her throat to get his attention and when she had it, she said, “Right here in this city, we have some clean and surface businesses and fortunately most of the people here have no idea on who your father is.” “Oh… I see.” He mumbled as he smacked his lips. He wanted to ask about the business they owned but since he didn't want to be forward, he restricted himself, his gaze fixed on her. Suddenly, he pulled the album towards himself, and using the screen of his phone, he began to compare and contrast his features with that of his father. He was an exact replica of him that explains how she was able to find him after twenty years. Pushing the album aside, he turned towards her with his hands still clasped together. “You recognized me even after twenty
