The cemetery where the late Mr Broda was being buried was a big one in a vast land, trees could be seen almost everywhere and it was a peaceful place, safe for the constant sound of nature.However, today being the day of his burial ceremony, the cemetery was nowhere near being peaceful as chaos had just begun.At the loud sound of a hand smacking a face, gasps from the people gathered around filled the once peaceful place as they all stared wide-eyed at the scene before them.Liam who had not expected the sudden slap on his cheek out of the blue sighed as he placed his palm on his cheek and rubbed on it to feel his numb cheek before he turned to his side to see who was responsible for the unexpected slap on his face.His dark eyes fell on a pair of hazel ones, it turned out to be one of Cara's distant Aunt who had somehow heard of Liam. And seeing her today, Liam was confused as to why she would approach him in such a manner, a slap. That was too far.Looking at her, he raised his le
Arriving at the company, Liam was greeted by the employees as he walked by and he acknowledged their greetings with nods. The lobby of Sterling Global Ventures was a big and busy one with people walking about.However, even with how busy it was, it was difficult not to notice the CEO passing by and all heads would turn towards his direction while lips moved as they all spoke about the CEO. And the fact that he wasn't wearing his regular suit made it even more difficult for people not to talk, they in fact had so much to say.And one of the many topics surrounding the CEO was how breathtakingly handsome he was. But then, Liam had no idea about these things, not that he cared.With his eyes regularly checking his wrist for the time, Liam headed for the elevator and once it opened up, he stepped in and the elevator took him up but not to his office floor but instead, to the floor where his next board meeting would be held in a few minutes.He soon arrived at the conference room and stepp
Back at the burial ceremony of the late Mr Broda, everyone was still recovering from the shock brought upon them by Liam, especially Aunty Mona but no one could tell if the lady would ever recover from what Liam had said to her.As for Susan, the grieving wife of the late Mr Broda. She paid no attention to the people around her. Although she was inwardly furious that Liam had dared to show up here to mock her family, she couldn't dwell much on the matter and right after Liam had left, she walked towards her husband's grave and knelt beside it.Apart from Aunty Mona, the most humiliated person was Cara. She couldn't forget how Liam had shoved her to the side, she had nearly lost her balance and would have fallen to the ground if not for Matt who quickly came to her side and held her on time.It was the audacity of Liam for her, just because he became a common CEO, he had dared to be so cocky. This thought made her clench her fist tightly as she imagined stabbing Liam a million times wi
Almost an hour ago, after Nelson had shared what he had seen today at the mansion with Terry, Terry had advised him to quickly report what he saw to the police and after listening to Terry's words, Nelson realized that his friend did have a good point. What Terry said made a lot of sense.After spending a short time with him, Nelson left the place and quickly headed for the city's police station to report what he had seen in that room.Now at the police station, Nelson was inside a small office seated on a chair and opposite him was a man dressed in a formal attire which was definitely a norm.The man was a middle aged man, he sat directly opposite Nelson with an old wooden table in between them and he stared at Nelson, waiting for the young man to say something or anything."Good day Inspector Steve..." Nelson began with a greeting but trailed off at the end."Just call me Officer Steve, it's nice meeting you. Who are you and what do you have going on?" Officer Steve introduced himse
The meeting wasn't really progressing as Liam had thought it would because none of them agreed to let Nelson become his personal secretary.But then again, does their opinion really matter? He was the CEO and could do whatever he wanted, right? Not to mention, Alexander who was the chairman had already agreed to this. So why worry about the board members who were against it?While his thoughts were running around in circles, Liam brought his hands that were resting on his forehead to the surface of the table and he sat upright, leaning forward and was ready to say something.However, the sudden abrupt opening of the door made him pause as he turned his head towards the direction of the door to see who had such audacity. A deep frown appeared on his eyebrows and his dark eyes were icy.As if his struggles here weren't enough, someone had dared to interrupt his meeting. The same meeting he just couldn't wait to wrap up.However, seeing Officer Steve and standing behind the officer were
"And is that Someone Nelson Sterling?" Liam asked, his eyes sharp at the officer who frowned and seemed a little confused."Nelson? I'm not sure because I did not get the person's name. Why do you ask?" "What kind of policeman won't get the name of a person who came to report a case?" Liam murmured to himself before opening the door and they all stepped out and they left the company in the police truck.Reaching the mansion, at first, the security men had refused to open the gate however, when they saw Liam inside the truck, they quickly opened it and the truck drove in and parked in a good spot.Everyone stepped out and they all stood before the glorious mansion and it was indeed a big mansion. But thankfully, they wouldn't have to search the whole place because someone would be showing them the main place where the supposed crime took place.And speaking of someone, Nelson who had been inside patiently waiting for the officers to show up with Liam handcuffed immediately sprang up f
A few hours ago, right after Liam had left the late Mr Broda's burial ceremony and before he went to the company, he had first drove to the mansion for no apparent reason and that was when he noticed that the room where he kept Gianna had been invaded by someone.Liam was sure the only person who could find out about Gianna and that room was Nelson, only Nelson could be that daring and nosy.And Liam knew Nelson wouldn't just leave it at that, they young man might do something and Liam knew it.He then quickly came up with an idea, instead of leaving everything the way they were, Liam quickly cleaned up the place.With the help of Alexander's private doctor, Gianna was moved to a hospital very quickly and Liam had the servants clean up the room and every other rooms in that abandoned side of the mansion.With the room now looking normal, whatever Nelson would think of doing would become null and void because whatever it was that he saw was no longer in existence....Seeing that there
With Cara following closely behind him, Matt walked as fast as he could, making sure they would leave the cemetery area where no one who might recognize them or find them.After walking a few blocks away from the cemetery, Matt came to stand before an alley and turned to face Cara who had reached and stood before him too.He stared at her as she looked back at him, waiting to hear what he had to say. However, Matt didn't know how to tell her what he wanted to say to her without causing her to have any kind of negative reaction.He knew what he wanted to say to her were no words of roses and heavens. If anything, they were words she might not even like but he had no idea how to say them to her."My father has been on my tail concerning the project," he started and he purposely said something that he knew would pull her interest because Matt was aware of the crazy influence the project had on Cara. To Cara, that project was her only ticket to getting her hands on his money, which only Ma
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
