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
Matt continued to whip his mother, her body shook from every single whip and every single contact the whip made with her body.This was how it had been with her for almost a year now. Her life had been so miserable but still, she had never for a day wished for death because she somehow hoped for a chance...Matt continued whipping his mother aggressively without stopping. It was all her fault, she was the reason why he was having so much anger in him."You stupid f*cking sl"t!" Matt cursed out loudly without even stopping, he whipped her so hard that even his hands were now aching but he wouldn't stop.While he had been out there looking for ways to save his father's life, this stupid woman had been busy fucking around with men.And even during his father's funeral, she wasn't present. He had no idea where she was but his hate and anger towards her only increased."You are a stupid hoe!" He spat but when he saw the way she shook her head as if trying to deny his claims, he gave her a
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
