Liam kept his eyes on the lady who gave him a coy smile while she stood by the right-hand side of Alfred who was getting ready to make a formal introduction.“Lord Emrys? This is Mr. Nick Raven. Nick here is the Manager of your family’s company, he has been the one managing things for over ten years…” Alfred said to Liam who nodded in response, and then he turned to look at Nick with a smile on his face. “Nick? This is Lord Emrys Perkins, the heir to the Perkins conglomerate.” “It’s such a pleasure finally meeting with you, Lord Emrys. I was hopeful that this day was going to come.” Nick extended his hands for a handshake while Liam grabbed it slowly and shook him instantly. Nick’s face showed great gladness that he had set his eyes on Liam who was still trying to grasp meaning from everything that was happening so fast. Next, Alfred turned to look at the young lady who was eager to meet with Liam who wasn’t aware that she was still staring at him without letting go of her c

For a few seconds, no one said anything as Liam stood in front of James who maintained a smirk on his face, showcasing the wrinkles on his face that complimented the gray hairs that grew like patches on his partly black hair. “I think we should all get seated, Gentlemen.” Nick broke the silence that was lingering in the room, gesturing to everyone to sit down. Liam was the first to grab a seat, he pulled the black seat at the end of the table meant for the position of the CEO and sat down slowly before he rested his hands on the table, and sighed heavily.His uneasiness lingered, and so did his curiosity and the fact that he wasn’t sure of what he was doing. He looked at the four men who slowly sat down on their seats, and he could see the looks of displeasure that were written all over the faces of James and Silas who reluctantly grabbed their seats and sat down. Silas brought out a brown cigar from his jacket which he lit and took several puffs from without minding about the

Just before he continued speaking, Nick cleared his throat twice just before he spoke with a low tone that almost sounded like a whisper. “This is a record of all the employees that have worked in this company, and those currently working here, beginning from the Managers to the Janitors, and even the security guards. Their personal information is detailed in this folder.“ “Right…” Liam nodded while he gently dragged the blue folder close to himself and glanced at the files inside it, flipping randomly from one page to the other. Realizing that there were over three hundred profiles in the folder, Liam lifted his head slowly after about ten seconds to look at the Manager who was still in his posture. “I think I would have to go with this, and this as well. I would have to take my time to go through them.” “That would be a good idea, Lord Emrys.” Nick nodded at once, turning to Rebecca whom he gave a signal to, causing her to quickly walk up to the table. “Rebecca here wil

The ride from the premises of the company back to the Castle took about thirty minutes as the cars moved through the busy roads occupied by other road users who were also on their way to their various destinations. Rebecca stoked interval glances at Liam, waiting for the rogue opportunity to start up a conversation, but Liam’s deadpan countenance gave her no chance to say even a single word. “Miss West?” Liam turned to look at her while they were getting really close to the avenue that led to the castle. “Yes, Lord Emrys,” Rebecca answered with a bright smile on her face, unintentionally showing the excitement she felt from hearing her name from the young CEO’s mouth. Liam waited for a few seconds while still trying to find out the reason behind the excitement on her face. “How long have you been working in the company?” “Three weeks, Lord Emrys. Just three weeks.” Rebecca responded while still maintaining her smile, nodding almost at the same time. “I see…” Liam w

Brina’s countenance showed intense struggle while she tried to make up her mind over what she was going to tell Liam who was paying keen attention, and wanted to hear whatever she was going to say to him. “I see that you are eager to get an answer, Emrys,” Brina said calmly and smiled at Liam who remained silent with so much eagerness to hear what she was going to say. “Your parents both originated from lines of supernaturals. Your father was a powerful wizard, and your mother, your mother…she was a nymph who had special abilities. They were blessed by the Divine, but their love was forbidden.” Brina paused for a while and took in a deep breath which she let out slowly before she continued with a low tone. “They had duties that they were obliged to carry out in their different worlds, but they decided to abandon them for the sake of the love they had for each other. The safest place to hide was on Earth, this realm where supernatural creatures could hide without being noticed…
