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?" Gi
Leaving the hospital and with the SlumberLuxe in his possession, Liam headed straight for the mansion and on getting there, the first thing he did was to look for Alexander but when he couldn't find him in his bedroom, Liam asked a servant who then told Liam that Alexander was seated outside the garden in the gazebo at the backyard.Without wasting further time, Liam headed straight for the gazebo in the backyard garden and there Alexander was, in his wheelchair with a cigarette in between his fingers with its butt burning while smoke swirled around him.The old man was having a smoke, Liam noted.The garden was a beautiful one with a variety of flowers and the air smelt fresh and sweet, probably because of the flowers around. Since it was still morning, the sun was warm and birds chirped around as they perched on a maple tree situated just right beside the gazebo, giving it a beautiful look.As he walked towards the gazebo, his legs stomping on the ground full of dry leaves from the
After a long silence between Alexander and Liam where they both just stared ahead without saying anything to each other, admiring the view and enjoying the feel of nature as the soft breeze blew about and even ruined Liam's neatly brushed hair.Liam finally broke the silence by bringing out the SlumberLuxe tea-like poison from his side pocket and showing it to Alexander while he informed him."I found out what this is from Doctor Sam, it's a poisonous substance, very crazy." He explained as he gave a dry laugh while placing the wrapped substance on Alexander's opened palm.Examining it, Alexander sighed and he said, "If this is coming from Chorro, then I'm not surprised at all. I mean, why would I be? He enjoys doing hidden and lazy things," Alexander said with a resigned sigh. "How does this work?" He asked while looking up at Liam and away from the poison in his palm."According to the Doctor, it places its victim to sleep where they would never wake up again, just as its name impli
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
