It was still morning and in a matter of minutes, it would be noon time, currently a few minutes before it would strike twelve. Right after reading through the email sent to him, Liam left his bedroom and headed towards the kitchen to have his breakfast.Realistically, he needed to eat as he had skipped eating and had quickly headed for the hospital this morning to go see Doctor Sam and Gianna.Getting to the kitchen, with the help of the chef, Liam prepared a small breakfast for himself and he quickly gobbled it all up as time was running way too fast.Afterwards, he went to his bedroom and changed out of his black pants and t-shirt and wore a sweatshirt and sweatpants and headed straight for the gym built inside the mansion.Alexander had shown this gym to him and Liam had been super excited to do a workout section here. However, during the past week, he had barely had any time to spare and never saw an opportunity to visit the indoor gym. But now, there was finally a reason and an o
Gianna who now lay alone in the hospital room where she was being placed which she figured was a VIP ward, she couldn't stop sighing ever since Liam left with the words he had said to her.The only thing she could think of was how to leave this place and get to Chorro.Knowing she had so much information to give to him, this would probably get her a promotion from Chorro because she survived in the hands of the enemy and would return with important information.A soft knock from the door interrupted Gianna's train of thought and she sat upright as the door slowly opened to reveal a nurse stepping in while pushing in a cart that contained food and medicine.'I need to find a way to escape from here, one way or the other,' she thought as she watched the nurse push the cart and come to a stop beside her bed.Wordlessly, the nurse did a little checkup on Gianna and did some medicine subscription and the nurse made sure Gianna took the medicine before saying, "This is your porridge, you sh
'Finally, Chorro is here to take me!' Gianna thought and she immediately ran and headed for her ward where her so-called visitor was waiting for her.However, on getting there, to Gianna's uttermost surprise, there was no Chorro waiting for her. Instead, a man sat on the couch situated opposite her bed, the same spot Liam had sat on.With a confused frown, she walked towards her bed to see who it was while pondering on why the person was there or who he was."Good day, Ms Gianna," the man stood up and greeted the moment he saw Gianna step into the room."Who are you? Did Chorro send you here for me?" She asked as she still had some expectations and hope. At least, if Chorro wouldn't show up himself, he would send someone, right? That was more logical to think about."Who I am is not really important, but just know I was sent by Liam," The man said and paused as if waiting for his words to sink right into Gianna's head.But rather, Gianna felt her head spin at the mention of Liam's nam
Seated at the edge of her bed with her phone clutched tightly in her hands while they rested on her thighs, Cara sat, patiently waiting for a response from Liam after she sent him the message Matt wrote and made her send it."No response yet?" Matt who stood by the widely opened window that allowed the noon sun to reflect into the bedroom with a cup of tea in his hand asked and he took a slow sip from the cup while waiting to hear Cara's response."Not yet," Cara responded with her voice low but low enough for Matt to hear and in response, Matt nodded his head.More than anything, Cara was uncomfortable with what she was made to do by Matt. She never wanted to do any of this or to have anything to ever do with Liam but Matt had forced her with words and actions and she could not say no to him.She would never have thought she would find herself in a situation where she would be begging the same man she had thrown away. Her ego and pride were hurt by this but Matt didn't care at all, h
He ran as fast as he could in order to reach his house a lot more quickly and while he was running, he felt he had outrun the people following him because he no longer felt like he was being followed and this was a relief for Matt.However, just when he reduced his running pace, out of the blue, a man jumped out of nowhere and landed right before Matt, stopping him from taking any more steps forward."Going somewhere? You seem to be in a hurry," The man asked and Matt was quick to recognize him as one of the debtors and instead of answering his question, Matt slowly reached out for the kitchen knife kept securely in his waistband, ready to attack the man standing before him.As his face darkened with anger, he was prepared to strike and attack. With his hand fully gripping the handle of the kitchen knife, he stood in a defensive stance, ready for an attack and also ready to be attacked.The loaner man who had jumped out of nowhere and stopped Matt from running any further noticed the w
It was now six PM, almost time for the welcome party hosted by Chorro for Liam. This was no ordinary party, it was a party where he would not only be introduced to other business people and their world but also get to see how they do things.It was a party where he would have to prove himself in order not to be seen as a joke or as weak. And also get a face-to-face encounter with Chorro.With a towel wrapped around his waist, Liam stood before his full-length mirror and couldn't stop tugging on his hair as his thoughts ran a thousand miles per second.He could only anticipate and imagine what tonight would be like. And as much as he was confident in himself and his ability, he just couldn't afford to fail whatsoever. That would be a great mistake on his side that would affect him and his name amongst the business elites for a long while.RING! RING!The sound of his phone ringing reached his ears and he walked towards the bedside table where he kept his phone and picked it up to see wh
Chorro's suite was no ordinary one, considering he was a rich, powerful, and influential man, the whole place screamed of wealth.It was already buzzing and filled with guests which were mostly businessmen and women who were powerful and influential just like Chorro himself.The suite is elegantly decorated with dim lighting and plush furniture. Soft jazz music fills the air, providing a sophisticated ambiance. Businessmen and women mingle, sipping on champagne and exchanging pleasantries. The atmosphere is convivial, with laughter and the clinking of glasses echoing throughout the room. Hors d'oeuvres are served on silver platters, offering a taste of gourmet delights. Overall, it's a refined and intimate gathering, perfect for networking and forging connections.As the place began to fill up even before the time of the actual party, those present soon began to exchange greetings and pleasantries with each other.As they made themselves comfortable on the chairs available for them, th
While the booing and mockery laughter was going on inside the place, Liam and the others who were outside were listening to everything being said inside the place.And although surprised by the people's behaviour, Liam was as well amused by them. For people who claimed to be business elites, they weren't quite bright."Is this how they behave?" Liam asked Alexander who was seated quietly next to him."You just need to know how to handle them and get used to their attitude," Alexander responded with a nod while he gently shifted his red bow tie. He was dressed in a simple black tuxedo, nothing really extra and his gray hair was styled neatly to the back.As they all sat inside the car, still listening to the conversation happening about them inside the suite, they soon heard when a man spoke about how Alexander was using Liam, and Liam who heard this scoffed out loudly in the car, gaining a stare from Alexander."I mean, it's technically true," Alexander said with a shrug and this gaine
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
