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
Right after the little chit-chat between Cara and Matt, they both left the place and quietly made their way back to the cemetery where only Nick Susan and a few other relatives and friends were at.As no one was yet to notice the appearance of the couple, Cara slowly made her way towards her father's grave where Nick and her mother sat.However, just before she could get to them, Aunt Mona was quick to notice Cara and the ever-so-dramatic woman made her way towards Cara."Oh dear, how heartbroken you must be feeling knowing your father is gone forever." She said, her voice loud enough to gain everyone's attention.Standing beside Cara and stopping her from moving any further, Mona placed her hands on Cara's shoulders in a consoling manner."I know you are going through a lot dear, there's really nothing to hide. You shouldn't be hiding anything from me, I'm your family." Aunty Mona continued but Cara only stared at the woman and said nothing to her.The only thing Cara could do was to
It was the weekend and a bright morning, inside a neutral-decorated bedroom that had its walls painted in white and grey, the curtains were all pulled down, causing the room to be a bit dim even though it was a bright morning.The two greyish paintings on the wall added to the neutral look of the room. It was a cool and quiet room.Once it struck nine AM, the alarm kept on the bedside table rang out loudly as it vibrated, filling the room with its loud sound, also causing the figure that lay on the king-sized bed to grumble as he slowly moved with his hands stretched out to put off the alarm.This was the fourth time since this morning that Liam's alarm went off. It rang when the time struck six and poor Liam who only wanted a good amount of sleep had to wake up to turn it off.The same thing happened when the time struck seven, and then eight and now it was nine but Liam had already made up his mind to sleep in today.He deserved to rest, the past weekdays had been hectic for him wit
"I know why you are here, you must have received my message. The young lady has regained her consciousness, the bullet wound thankfully wasn't a serious one." Doctor Sam said and Liam nodded without a word because he was way more interested in something else and not Gianna, he was more interested in that tea-like substance. "As for that substance you brought," Doctor Sam said as he stood up, much to Liam's relief. "I was able to find out what it was, please come with me." Doctor Sam said as he walked towards a shelf full of books and other things and Liam followed to stand behind the Doctor and watched as Doctor Sam pressed on a button and after pressing on a few codes, one side of the shelf pushed forward slightly and Doctor Sam grabbed onto it and he pulled the shelf forward to show what seemed to be a secret door. Impressed, Liam stood patiently and watched as the Doctor unlocked the secret door with his handprint and with a metallic clicking sound, the door opened up ever so slow
After a short silence in the room, Liam broke it by saying, "Prepare yourself, you have an important task to do for me tonight." Liam went straight to the point without beating around the bush.Gianna's hospital room was stark and functional, with a single bed occupying the centre of the space. Across from the bed, a small couch offered a spot for weary visitors to sit on. The room was illuminated by harsh fluorescent lights, casting a sterile glow over the scene.His words were enough to catch Gianna's attention, causing her to turn her head to stare at him. When she had first noticed his presence inside the room along with the Doctor, she had avoided staring in his direction, even when she felt his gaze solely on her.But now that he said these words, she couldn't keep ignoring him and she sat up on her bed immediately with a frown directed at him.This mongrel had shot her in the thighs and this was what he had to say to her after her treatment?"You won't even ask how am doing?"
