Inside a living room with green and cream decors, the three people sat together with the couple on one sofa and the older woman on the opposite sofa.

One could note the look of disappointment in her aged eyes, her lips were pursed as she gave her daughter a sharp look.

"And why have you kept it away from me? You are the reason that young innocent man went to prison, do you know what that means?" Susan asked, feeling an incoming headache as her breathing came out rushed from anger.

"I'm so sorry, I just never loved him-" Cara tried to explain but nothing she said was appeasing to Susan.

"Then why did you agree to marry him? If you had never married him because you didn't love him, none of this would have happened! It wouldn't have come to this! Oh god..."

"Uhm, mom..." Matt spoke but the look he received from Susan made him rephrase his words, "Mrs Broda, this is all my fault and I truly apologize. I already met her before that criminal but I suggested she married him because I didn't want to look like I was trying to come in between them."

"I just felt guilty and sorry for Liam and I asked Cara to just go along with the marriage even though she loved only me," Matt explained, a calm look on his face as he looked at his and Cara's fingers that were intertwined together.

Though Cara was aware that whatever Matt was saying to her Mom was not true and lie, she went along with it and nodded because she trusted only Matt and no one else.

"So what if you get caught?" Susan asked, feeling anxious about the whole situation. Even with the explanation Matt did, she could swear she still didn't understand a single thing and that was even more scary to her.

"Nah, we wouldn't. I'm rich and I have the power to protect us and make sure this doesn't come to light." Said Matt. And even though Susan wasn't exactly sure, she still wouldn't let her daughter close to Liam even though she knew he was innocent.

People still know him as a criminal and a rapist and he was clearly a wretched loser and had nothing, unlike Matt who was well off and could take care of her daughter.

On the quiet bridge and before a chaotic scene, Liam stood there under the bright sun feeling more alive than ever.

With the small smile on his face, one wouldn't have thought he was the same person a few hours ago silently begging for his wife to take him back with watery eyes.

Yes, that was something he wouldn't deny but Liam behaved that way to Cara because she was his wife and he respected her that much. She had every right to be mad at him for failing but she went too far and even cheated on him.

And he was really hurt at her treatment towards him but not now. Now, he was about to be a hero and not some pathetic loser begging his wife but deep down he still wanted her back but that was something he would never get, she clearly loathed him and outrightly rejected him without holding back.

However, the confident smile on Liam's lip broke when the four men broke out with laughter. They laughed so hard and loud that it made Liam angry.

"Guess who is drunk in the daytime! Hahaha!" The second man said and another round of laughter followed his statement.

"A madman giving us orders is wild! Hahaha!" The third man said but their words weren't making him feel down, it was only fueling his anger and provoking some kind of emotions in him.

He grounded his teeth and clenched on the metal rod and before he knew it, he struck the van beside him so hard with the rod that the banging sound was more than enough to turn the place quiet.

The smiles and laughter left the faces of the four men and soon seriousness took over their whole demeanor and before anything Liam and the four men were engaged in a brutal fight.

Sounds of punches and bone cracking and groans and grunts soon filled the air. As Liam struggled to take down one of them as they proved to be stronger than him or tried to outnumber him.

And soon he knocked down one of the men, Liam was sure that he was the weakest of all because taking him down was so easy.

Now left with three more, the fight went on with Liam not holding back. Mercilessly using the metal rod on them with a series of kicks and punches flying about.

For some odd reasons yet to be known, he felt so good. With all his miseries and anger from losing his wife who cheated on him and having to go to prison for six years for a crime, he knew nothing about and the ill-treatment he faced in prison, Liam let them all out on the men.

At a point he flung the rod around, causing the men to keep a distance to avoid being hit as they wondered what type of lunatic he was.

Liam then stopped flinging the rod and went on to attack them.

And while the fight was still going on, the other young man whom the four men tried to push into their van stood beside his car and watched the fight in horror.

Just an hour ago, he was peacefully driving through the city when he noticed the odd way the black van was riding after him and without being told, he knew he was being followed.

Being the nephew of the most ruthless businessman, Nelson couldn't leave his uncle's mansion without guards and security following him because his uncle's enemies were out for him.

But today he wanted to be alone, he was tired of security following him but who knew it would lead to this?

He quickly pulled out his phone from his side pocket and called his uncle's number which went through almost immediately.

Nelson explained everything to his uncle and what was currently going on. After scolding him, his uncle told him he would arrange for people to come pick him up and the call ended.

Nelson placed his phone inside his pocket and raised his head to see how the fight was going only for his eyes to be welcomed with the sight of the unknown man using the metal rod to smack the face of the leader.

Blood mixed with thick saliva flew out of the leader's mouth and Nelson was sure the man must have lost a couple of teeth.

The leader was in a kneeling position when his face was smacked by Liam, he groaned and hissed, pure rage evident in his battered face. He tried standing up to attack Liam but Liam placed the tip of the rod on his chin, keeping him in place.

But Liam wasn't smiling, he bent a little and said, "You should pick up your boys and go back to whoever sent you now that your body is still intact. I didn't knock you out for a reason."

His beard was now cleanly shaved, his hair trimmed and neatly combed to the back, his formal dressing was so new to him.He was looking way too handsome that he was on the verge of questioning the heavens if this was truly him.

    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

    "With Bullets, Yes."

    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

    Meeting.

    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

    They Fucked.

    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

    Vanished?

    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

    What Poison.

    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

    Lady Flora.

    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

    Zombie Apocalypse.

    "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
