Almost a week had already passed with so much going on but most importantly, Liam Santiago had now become the new CEO of Sterling Global Ventures and of course, this news shook the world except for the people who were yet to hear of it.The day he had resumed his new office, the media was all over the company's entrance, taking photos and throwing questions at Liam."Over here, sir!" The reporters had shouted, "How do you feel about being the new CEO?""Do you have any vision for the company?!"Liam had thought of ignoring them but on a second thought, he stopped before them and the cameras quickly flashed in his direction, taking multiple pictures as they all surrounded him.With the microphone now close to his mouth, Liam said, "I'm very certain that me being the new CEO was a very surprising turn of events for not just the company but the public. However, I would like to inform you all to brace yourselves because there are even more surprises coming for everyone, even myself." And
No! There was no way in heaven or hell this could be true or even possible. Cara refused to believe it. Liam was a loser and a nobody, he wouldn't even be able to bag the position of a delivery boy not to mention a CEO. The news was definitely fake.She would have to see him with her very own eyes before she would even believe it. Just the thought of it was crazy. If Liam became a CEO then pigs would fly, not to mention Sterling Global Ventures? That was even more crazy.Cara then chose to ignore everyone and sat back down on her chair, she ate as fast as she could with her mind still wandering to places as she imagined Liam being a CEO which was impossible.These news publishers really needed to be sued for putting out such vile and impossible news to the public.Though she had now lost her appetite, Cara still forced herself to eat as she would be going to work right after breakfast. She needed food to give her just the right amount of energy to carry on with her day.However, Matt'
A few minutes ago, when Mr Broda had told Matt to go wait for him on the balcony of Cara's room, he had been pacing from one end of the room and back to the balcony because his mind had solely been on what he saw in that newspaper about Liam.How was that even possible? What suddenly happened? Just one week ago, Liam had been below him and even his own wife had chosen him over Liam. He was a nobody and a loser.And now? He had suddenly become someone this powerful. How did he even get himself to such a level? What games did he play? What was his secret? Perhaps the news was fake, what could be the odds?Matt questioned in his head as his pacing legs stopped at a spot, his hands clenched tightly on his side. He looked evidently angry with his bloodshot eyes staring straight ahead, he stared at nothing in particular, lost in his own angry thoughts.Matt began to think deeply about what to do with the situation if he decided to go find out himself and the news turned out to be true.But
When Mr Broda had excused himself to go check something, Liam was left all alone in the living room. His thoughts drifted to how he had surprisingly met the old man home, it came as a surprise to him even though he had hoped to meet the old man home, that must be luck.However, a few minutes had passed since Mr Broda excused himself when he felt the vibration of his mobile phone coming from his pocket. At first, he never felt like picking the call however, he had to remind himself of who he now was and little calls like this might likely be important.With that thought, he stood up from where he sat and walked out of the house to receive the call. Fishing out his phone from his back pocket, he saw it was Alexander's secretary calling, with a frown that showed his unspoken questions, he answered the call."Hello?" Liam said right after picking up the call."Mr Liam, hurry back the chairman just had an accident!" The secretary said in a voice filled with panic and ended the call almost
Before midday, Susan was done with her morning shopping and returned home.But she felt it was really weird because firstly, the front door wasn't locked like someone was still home. And knowing it might be Mr Broda was equally weird, considering he wasn't the kind of person to just stay home, he had nothing to do at home.But she brushed it all off and hummed her way to the kitchen, she needed to go through all the stuff she bought. Going to the local market early was always the best, not only would she get things at a good price, but she would also get her hands on things that were rare and in high demand, the type you wouldn't easily find once it was noon time.However, while she was going through her things, she paused for a moment to think. The door wasn't locked meant Mr Broda was home and never left for his bar where he worked, but why hadn't he shown up to welcome her from the market like he should have? Was he asleep?She frowned and decided to go take a look by herself. She
Right after Matt left Cara's house, he roamed aimlessly around the city with his head wrapped around what he had done.He had attacked Mr Broda and right now he couldn't tell if the man was dead or alive. Has he already been found by anyone? And maybe taken to the hospital?Matt couldn't really understand how he was feeling, he felt too many emotions except guilt. He wasn't remorseful about what he did at all, if anything, he was angered and just like any other time, he wanted to vent.With that thought, he headed for the abandoned building where his mother was currently tied as his personal punching bag because she deserved it.Every single thing that was happening to her, she deserved all of it. It was her fault he was like this anyway, so she should pay for it.There was no way she was going free while he would be left alone to suffer and take up the consequences of what wasn't his fault at all.He soon got to the building and headed towards where his mother was and as usual, he wa
"Cara, your father is dead!"These words from her mother through the phone had Cara chuckle in confusion, she removed the phone from her ears to look at the screen to be sure she was talking to the right person.But the name on her screen showed it was her mother."Mom? Please, I'm not even in the mood for your silly jokes. I have work to do, I'm busy." Cara said with a frown.She felt her mother went overboard with her jokes, why would she even say such nonsense?"Cara?! Your Father is at the morgue now. He is really gone!" Susan said and this time, Cara noted the trembling voice of her mother. She could also hear her crying through the phone, was this true?"I...I don't understand. How? When? What do you even mean? Do you see if... Mom? Where are you right now? I will be there in a few minutes."Cara quickly stood up from where she sat, she now realized this could be a serious issue and nothing to joke about. Because who in this world jokes about death??"I'm at the city hospital's
Matt let out a shaky breath as he was torn between whether to pick up the call or not. What could be the reason for this call? If only he had an answer and the only way to know was by picking up which he dreaded doing.He gritted his teeth and clenched hard on his phone and in that process his finger tapped on the screen, picking up the call without his conscious knowledge."Hello? Matt?" Cara's voice rang out from his phone out of the blue, filling the quiet place with the sound of her voice.Matt had almost peed on himself, not expecting the call to be picked up when he didn't want to pick it up. What went wrong? He wondered as he looked at the screen of the phone where the caller timer was ticking."Matt? Are you there?" Her voice rang out for the second time and Matt held himself back from cursing out loud, that would even be a mess.Deciding to just respond, Matt cleared his throat and said, "Hello? Cara, is there a problem? Why are you calling me?"Meanwhile, Cara on the other e
A fight would happen soon and it was Liam against almost thirty armed men. But with the guns in their hands, Liam wondered if there would be a fight at all or if they would fire at him before an actual fight would break out."Deal with this idiot," Chorro ordered and the men yelled in response but before anything could happen, Liam spoke up,"You do realize that killing me means killing your children, right? Then your legacy would become useless if you have no son to inherit them, you would age and die and leave everything you ever had on this earth for strangers to take. Do you want strangers to reap what you sow when you are gone? Keep me alive and I'll give you the antidote to save your children as long as you meet my demand," Liam said, hoping Chorro would reconsider his decision."Do you also realize that I can as well find the antidote somewhere else? I'm sure there are doctors who can make them for me at a cheaper rate," Chorro responded, not giving up."And do you also realize
The moment Liam stepped into the room alongside the man who led him into the building, he noticed the armed men that were scattered around the room, it was a spacious room. A room large enough to contain two hundred people, who knew what the old man was up to.His gaze met Chorro's glare but Liam smiled back at the angry old man instead, disregarding his anger. Liam stepped forward and took the empty seat opposite Chorro, there was a huge table in between them. He leaned forward with his arms resting on the table's surface, he stared at Chorro for a few seconds before looking around the place with a knowing smile on his lips."I thought this was supposed to be a one-on-one conversation between us, who are these men?" Liam asked, referring to the armed men whom he could tell were obviously Chorro's bodyguards."That's not important, let's go straight to the point. I'm a very busy man and time is not on my side," Chorro grunted, he couldn't believe an idiot like Liam could use his own p
The call between Liam and Chorro ended after Chorro agreed to meet up with Liam. Liam was excited because this meant he should be prepared to hit the jackpot with Chorro. Of course, he knew it wouldn't be easy because that old man was a stubborn conniving goat and would try to pull off some tricks.Checking the time, it was just ten AM in the morning, he had about two hours before he would leave to meet Chorro. Getting up from the chair, Liam left the room to search for Alexander, he would be informing Alexander about the newest update.Reaching Alexander's office, they both had a long conversation and talked about Liam's plan. It was a risky one and Alexander suggested Liam go with some of his best men and Liam agreed to it. They couldn't afford to make any mistakes or fall for any of Chorro's tricks.At this point, it was either you kill or let yourself be killed and Liam was definitely ready to kill.Chorro had had the balls to threaten him and Alexander's company, it was best to g
The following morning, it was a Sunday morning, Liam woke up on his bed with Gianna next to him. They both had a steamy night last night and for some odd reason, he felt energetic even when yesterday had been a busy day which was a good thing for him.He quickly got out of bed and took his shower, after which he walked to the kitchen and made a quick breakfast of bacon sandwich toast, and coffee. He ate it up like a hungry dog and left the kitchen.Making his way back to his bedroom, Liam crosses paths with Nelson in the hallway. He gave him a side stare and just as Nelson could walk past him, Liam quickly held him back, stopping him from moving any further."What are you doing?" Nelson demanded with a deep frown, he glared at Liam but Liam wasn't fazed at all."I thought I should be a little troublesome this morning, why not?" Liam asked with a subtle smile as he looked down at Nelson who was shorter than him.Feeling agitated by Liam, Nelson let out a slow sigh, he was trying to cal
Apart from the servants and workers of the house, there were only five people in the mansion. Which were Liam, Alexander, Nelson, Kalel and Gianna. Amongst these people listed, everyone knew of their mission tonight except one person, Nelson.Chances are, Nelson sneaked in on their conversation and heard what Liam and Alexander discussed and while trying to leave the room, he accidentally pushed the flower vase and it fell and broke."Nelson was here," Liam stated with a shrug, he then placed his hands into his pocket and looked down at Alexander, and said, "Why did he run away though? We have nothing to hide from him and we equally have nothing to share with him," Liam said with a chuckle."So how is it going with the board of directors?" Alexander asked, changing the topic as he was equally curious to know.Maybe if Nelson got busy with work, he wouldn't find the time to act out of place at every chance he got, Alexander thought as he waited for Liam's response."Stubborn, they've r
The moment Liam stepped into his bedroom, the exhaustion from tonight's event finally came striking him hard and throwing him into the bed, with a tired sigh, he landed heavily on his soft bed as he hummed in satisfaction. The night had been a long night and Liam felt great that everything they had planned was executed successfully even though it had been a rough ride. There were times during the fight when as he threw punches and kicks he would wonder to himself how he even got to that point and why he was there to begin with. But then, he also had to remind himself that it all started with Chorro himself and whatever that old wag was going through, he deserved. Not only did he throw threats at Liam when he barely even started work as the new CEO, but he had planned to attack both the company, himself, and Alexander and take what wasn't his. Thankfully, he would never get to succeed because Liam was way stronger than anything Chorro would ever. After a short silence in his bed
As Lady Flora reached the door, she held the doorknob and before opening the door, she turned to face the guests who had briefly stopped their heated arguments and she said, "Bunch of fools that can't think properly with their brains. Since you all have legs and have refused to use them, then remain here," and after saying those words, she opened the door and stepped out, closing it behind her with a loud bang. Leaving everyone short of words and in astonishment, it was a long silence between them as they all took their time to understand what Lady Flora meant. Meanwhile, Lady Flora with a subtle smile on her lips left the suite and walked up to where the car was parked with her driver waiting for her, she got into the car and ordered the driver to drive off. While the other guests had been loud and rampaging, she had been standing quietly in a corner observing the whole situation. And from that moment up until now, she couldn't help but think how stupid the others were, just lik
Gianna looked around her in search of something to use to cool down the chaos around Liam, her eyes narrowed down at the sight before her with a soft hiss, she looked around until her gaze fell on the gun in Kalel's grasp and without wasting time, she quickly snatched it from him and as she cracked the gun, she screamed, "Everyone! Calm down now!" And afterwards shot right at the ceiling above them. The loud bang of the gunshot inside the room was finally able to get the people to quiet down and to finally let go of Liam as they all scrambled away to a corner for fear of the gun being shot at them. The ever so grateful Liam who came to stand beside Gianna, huffing and puffing for air had not expected that this would happen to him. These people were animals, he thought. Thankfully nothing bad happened to him and his body was still perfectly intact. After glaring hard at the guests who had now gathered in a corner as Gianna still had the gun pointed at them, they dared not take a s
"Do not take one more step forward," a voice was heard from the side when Kalel felt something cold being pressed on the side of his forehead, it was a gun. Now this was something unexpected for the both of them, Kalel had never thought they would encounter this, he wasn't even prepared. Meanwhile, Gianna who was the least worried or scared tried to hide the small smile that crept up her lips. Not because she was happy that they might get attacked or possibly killed I'm here, but because she would use this as a cue to prove herself to Kalel. That was the actual reason why she had told Kalel she wanted to go search for Liam and the others along with him because this was a chance for her to prove she was not weak. She would prove that by showing her fighting skills, she wasn't just all about beauty. And with that thought in mind, instead of remaining standing still like the man pointing the gun at Kalel had asked, she immediately turned around, and from behind Kalel, she used her
