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
