Awake.

After almost an hour, the fight was over with Liam lying tired on the floor. He was all sweaty and didn't care that the floor was dusty. His breathing came out heavily and rushed as he tried to get himself back.

He was aching all over and Liam was sure he was currently covered in bruises. Apart from him, the unconscious men lay on the floor too with him in the middle.

He was so exhausted that he was sure he would soon pass out. Twenty minutes already running by with Liam still in the same position and soon he heard footsteps of someone running towards him but he was just too tired to care or worry about who it was.

However, the room was unexpectedly filled with light, chasing away the darkness and Liam removed the glasses from his eyes but quickly squinted them at how overwhelming the light was.

But after having to adjust his eyesight, he looked around him and noticed how empty the room was except for him and the men who lay on the floor.

But he couldn't look around for long because the owners of the running footsteps ran towards him and they both picked him up from the floor and left the room.

Liam was just too exhausted to care about where they were taking him, he just stayed still and allowed them to do whatever it was that they wanted with him and to his surprise, they took him to a room and this time, it wasn't an empty room but a bedroom filled with pieces of furniture and bedroom essentials.

From what Liam could see, the bedroom was beautiful and had beautiful but minimal decor in it.

The two men who carried him laid him on the bed and a man stepped into the bedroom, the man was tall with big reading glasses on his face. His bald head carried the reflection of the light in the bedroom.

He stood beside the bed where Liam was currently lying and soon hovered above him and brought out a small syringe from his pocket and before Liam could notice, he was injected with a sedative and within a few minutes, Liam was fast asleep.

The three men left the room and shut the door behind them, they quickly walked towards Alexander's office and knocked on the door, after exactly five seconds, they stepped in and bowed their heads in greeting to their boss.

"How is he doing?" Alexander asked and took a long sip from his newly lighted cigar.

"He is currently asleep with the sedatives I gave him." Explained the tall bald man who was the butler of this mansion, his name was Jerry.

"Hmmm..." Alexander simply hummed and said nothing else. However, a few seconds later, a small smile graced his lips as he looked at his computer screen.

He then looked back at Jerry and said, "You didn't see how well he fought, did you? He is just perfect." He said and a low laugh left his mouth accompanied by smoke from the cigar he sucked in.

"Make sure to take proper care of him, groom him properly and provide him with whatever he asks for... except leaving," Alexander ordered and dismissed the three of them, they bowed and quietly left his office.

Alexander couldn't contain himself and the smile on his face wouldn't leave. Not only did he like Liam, but he was also interested in him and to know him and where he came from.

His fighting skills were so good. It still felt surprising to Alexander that one man could take down about twenty of his men, not his best men but those men were trained by the best yet Liam took them down even with his many disadvantages. Quite impressive.

...

A day had already passed with Liam yet to wake up, considering all that he had gone through from getting rejected by his own wife to having to fight dozens of men in a dark room after being given an inheritance proposal, he was way too exhausted that he could keep sleeping for the whole week.

However, he did wake up in the middle of the day but didn't expect what he would witness.

After Alexander had ordered Jerry to take good care of Liam, the butler ordered maids and servants to clean his wounds and even called the best doctor he could think of to examine Liam and to check if he had any internal wounds. And thankfully the doctor said he was fine and just needed good rest and enough healthy foods and medicines.

After twenty-four hours of taking care of Liam and making sure he would be in good health once he woke up, the butler ordered maids to get Liam cleaned by giving him a thorough bath.

They placed Liam's naked body into the warm bath while he was still asleep and showed no signs of waking up.

However, while the maids were carrying out their duties, Liam who was fast asleep suddenly stirred awake and murmured incoherent words to himself and the maids paid no attention to him.

Noticing the weird feeling on his body, he was quick to snap awake but in a slow manner. His still sleepy eyes scanned around him till they fell on himself inside a luxurious-looking bathtub and three women who seemed busy washing him up.

"...!"

Liam was on the verge of screaming holy cow but held himself because he felt like he was dreaming and none of this was real.

But the feeling of the women's hands on him felt too real to be ignored.

Perhaps was he in heaven already? He remembered he had planned to fall off that bridge but what he couldn't recall was him falling into the bridge.

Liam was about to say something when memories began flooding his head, from the beginning of everything to the end.

He tilted his head in confusion after recovering his memories from yesterday, he remembered he had agreed to Alexander's request yet the old man threw him inside a dark old room and left him there with strong men to beat his ass off. He would need to have a word with Alexander.
