Time felt like it froze for Liam as he threw a frown full of unspoken questions at Alexander's secretary who stood by the widely opened exit door with his hands adjusting his tie.Alexander's secretary, Mr Rogers cleared his throat and awkwardly looked at Liam and the other security men who were just about to fight themselves because he was fully aware of the fact that this was Alexander's doing."Mr Sterling has ordered me to prepare a driver that would take you home, Sir Liam." Mr Rogers announced and Liam loosened up a little bit, he straightened up and his hands which were held up in a fist ready for a fight fell on his sides.Hearing the words from Mr Rogers caused Liam to let out a breath of relief but he cast a look at the man he was just about to get into a fight with and said, "At least now you know I'm not an intruder."With that he matched out of the room, leaving Mr Rogers who felt sorry for him because this whole set-up was Alexander's doing.Mr Rogers followed right afte
Nelson who was seated inside a moving white van in his causal outfit looked outside through the window and had nothing in particular going on in his head except for the fact that he was surrounded by bodyguards.Something he hated.Just when he woke this morning as early as six, he received a message from his friends in their group chat that they would be having lunch together somewhere in the city and he was specifically invited.Nelson had planned to see his Uncle and Liam off to the company knowing what today was for them, but he had a change of plan at the last minute because he couldn't turn down his friends and that was why he skipped breakfast with Alexander and Liam.For almost a month now, Nelson was known among his group of friends as someone who was never present when they had plans. He would refuse and make excuses because he couldn't afford to fool around due to his Uncle's keen eyes on him.However, he had no heart to turn them down today.The van drove at an average spee
And it all began, document after document was handed over to Liam for him to sign each and every one of them, the same occurred with Alexander. Both of them signed every document that needed their signature.Mr Rogers stood beside Alexander patiently while the man who Liam later learnt was the lawyer assigned to him by Alexander gave instructions on what to do with each document.The other man was Alexander's lawyer and the fourth man was someone who acted as a witness for today's occasion.Within almost an hour, the signing ceremony was over and the lawyers left except Mr Rogers who still stood beside Alexander, Liam sat straight on his seat, the impending responsibility of a new beginning began to weigh on his shoulders as he imagined what his future would be like from now henceforth.And no matter how hard he tried to imagine, he just couldn't see anything. It was as if his future was blurry, and not so easy to predict.The office was quiet as Alexander's body was slightly leaning f
Seeing the poor situation her goods were currently in, the old lady wailed in her frail aged voice as she ran about picking up the fruits that fell to the ground due to the impact of Liam's collision on her barrow.She was heading to the local market and wanted to sell these fruits but now some of them were currently on the floor rolling away and some were now in a bad state as they were now smashed on the floor.However, though people witnessed this, nobody gave the old lady a helping hand. They just stood wherever they were and simply watched while saying things to each other and some other people just went on with their day.At first, Liam was shocked at the sudden turn of events, too shocked that he stood frozen on the spot for a good ten seconds before getting back to his senses and quickly moving about to help the old lady while apologizing because he was sincerely sorry.But then, while most people minded their business...well not all because some of them were speaking, pointin
Though she appeared to be old and frail, her mind wasn't and just by having to stand in a corner and witness the whole drama, she could tell who was sorry and who was trying to be oppressive and dramatic.The old lady knew Liam was sorry, though it was partially his fault for bumping into her barrow and causing some of her fruits to fall to the ground and damage, the other couple were wrong for confronting him in such a cruel mannerism.And from their interaction, she could tell the young man was familiar with who the other couple were. However, she didn't approve of their behaviour towards him even though he made a mistake first.She also heard them calling him a criminal, and although it was a bit surprising, she had no right to judge him when she didn't even know him personally.And seeing the way he retaliated, she still couldn't blame him because the couple were very troublesome from the start.A simple apology from the young man would have been enough and she would have just gon
After the police left with Cara and Matt, Liam apologized to the old lady who didn't seem to mind and afterwards, she left with her wheelbarrow containing the fruits she planned to sell even though some of them got damaged.Liam stood in the same spot with his hands tugged inside the pocket of his shorts, his eyes solely on the old lady as she left with her wheelbarrow."What a long day," said Liam with a sigh that passed through his nose. He peeled his eyes from the old lady and looked around only to see that people were still staring at him even though the drama had already ended.He looked away and began heading out of the place, he wanted to return back to Alexander's mansion and today's event would now serve as a lesson never to leave the mansion without a phone or without dressing appropriately because Liam knew his average dressing was one of the many reasons Cara and Matt dared to walk up to him and cause him trouble.He was sure if he was wearing a high-end expensive suit and
Dusk soon fell as quickly as a speeding car and this was the time when Cara's family usually had their dinner, the dining table had food arranged on every corner.Though they were an average family, they could still afford a three square meal in such a grand manner that a person would think they were a very rich family.And that was because Mr Broda, Cara's father and the head of the family runs a successful bar and is being assisted by his son, Nick.At the dinner table, they all sat quietly as they ate their dinner and seated beside Cara was Matt.Matt appeared to be eating quietly and even made faces that would make a person think he was enjoying the food when it was far from it in reality.Deep down, he prayed and wished Cara wouldn't bring up today's event with Liam at the dinner table, it would be better if everything was forgotten and they should just live like nothing like that ever happened."Are you enjoying the food?" Cara turned to him and asked and he simply nodded with a
However, that same night at Alexander's mansion. They all had their dinner quietly and retired to their rooms. But Liam had no plans of sleeping yet, he picked up the laptop the butler had prepared for him and quickly got to work.He did as much research as he could about Sterling Global Ventures and so far, everything looked all good and fine. The only thing that he noticed was off was the constant gossip about how the company would close down if Alexander passed away as there would be no proper successor.Liam guessed this was also why so many daggers were pointed at Alexander because they all wanted his legacy and everything he owned knowing fully well of the fact that there was no one to take over after Alexander.But that was fine, he was here now. All that was needed was for Alexander to announce him to the world and that would happen in a few days.However, that would mean all evil attention would be turned towards him. Was that a good thing?Well, it wasn't like he would now li
