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

  • His Return From Prison   It Was Fake News.

    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

  • His Return From Prison   He Was Bleeding Profusely.

    No! There was no way in heaven or hell this could be true or even possible. Cara refused to believe it. Liam was a loser and a nobody, he wouldn't even be able to bag the position of a delivery boy not to mention a CEO. The news was definitely fake.She would have to see him with her very own eyes before she would even believe it. Just the thought of it was crazy. If Liam became a CEO then pigs would fly, not to mention Sterling Global Ventures? That was even more crazy.Cara then chose to ignore everyone and sat back down on her chair, she ate as fast as she could with her mind still wandering to places as she imagined Liam being a CEO which was impossible.These news publishers really needed to be sued for putting out such vile and impossible news to the public.Though she had now lost her appetite, Cara still forced herself to eat as she would be going to work right after breakfast. She needed food to give her just the right amount of energy to carry on with her day.However, Matt'

  • His Return From Prison   The Hidden CCTV Camera.

    A few minutes ago, when Mr Broda had told Matt to go wait for him on the balcony of Cara's room, he had been pacing from one end of the room and back to the balcony because his mind had solely been on what he saw in that newspaper about Liam.How was that even possible? What suddenly happened? Just one week ago, Liam had been below him and even his own wife had chosen him over Liam. He was a nobody and a loser.And now? He had suddenly become someone this powerful. How did he even get himself to such a level? What games did he play? What was his secret? Perhaps the news was fake, what could be the odds?Matt questioned in his head as his pacing legs stopped at a spot, his hands clenched tightly on his side. He looked evidently angry with his bloodshot eyes staring straight ahead, he stared at nothing in particular, lost in his own angry thoughts.Matt began to think deeply about what to do with the situation if he decided to go find out himself and the news turned out to be true.But

    Liam Lost The Fight?

    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

    "With Bullets, Yes."

    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

    Half His Legacy.

    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

    Meeting.

    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

    They Fucked.

    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

    Vanished?

    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

    What Poison.

    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

    Lady Flora.

    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

    Zombie Apocalypse.

    "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
