Today was Matt's birthday and Cara was super excited to celebrate his birthday with him. It had been seven years and a few months since they were together and she was happy with him.
After all, he was rich and handsome and was way better than her loser husband who had gone to prison for being a rapist.She would never have guessed he would be released so soon and on this day of all days.She stood beside Matt by the door with her mother standing outside, she glared hard at Liam and she realized how much she now hated and despised his whole existence.Why did he have to show up? He should have just rotted there in prison and never be released again."I don't want you anymore Liam, just leave and never show yourself to me ever again," Cara said and Liam noticed how she never stuttered, she looked determined as if she had always hated him from the beginning."You heard what she said, get lost." A provocative smile crawled on Matt's lips as he stared without blinking at Liam.Liam was a nobody, a complete loser and Cara was his for life. She belonged to him and a criminal like Liam could never compete with him because clearly he already won.Cara felt mad that Liam wouldn't oblige and just stood there like a statue and just staring at her. She noticed how dishevelled and unkept he looked.The bristles on his face made him look ugly and homeless, his dark brown hair looked like they were currently accommodating lice and other dirty insects. His clothes and shoes were a whole different story. She was sure hours would pass if she kept on pointing at his ugly features.His white skin had now tanned and looked brown and dirty."I've told you already, leave. You wouldn't be happy if my son and husband would come home and meet you here harassing my daughter." Susan stated with a harsh frown.Liam who had been quiet all this time finally spoke up."Six years, I have waited six years to finally get to be with you and I'm really surprised that this is how you treat me. I really loved you even though I had to sacrifice six years of my time and even though I was innocent of the accusations, this is what I get. A cheating and an unfaithful wife."His voice broke as he spoke and his eyes were red and pooled up with tears but he held it back and refused to shed a single tear over an ungrateful human being.Cara wouldn't lie if she said this was the first time she was seeing Liam this emotional, even when he was arrested and sentenced to prison, he showed a tough front. However..."Nothing you do will make me accept you or return to you. I don't want you, I also don't love you just get out of my life." She said with a pointed look.Matt who had heard enough snaked his hands around Cara's waist and pulled her close to him, purposely provoking Liam.Liam clenched his hands together into a fist on seeing what Matt was doing to his wife but said nothing."You don't want me to get physical with you man, so just leave," Matt said.Liam stood there quietly without attempting to leave, he stared right into Cara's eyes but she didn't meet his as if too disgusted to look at him and after about two minutes, he turned around and left without saying a word."He even has the audacity to show up empty-handed, was he expecting me to feed and accommodate a criminal like him, he should keep dreaming," Susan said and they all stepped inside."Oh dear, I'm so sorry you had to face him," Susan said with her hands caressing Cara's cheeks."It's alright Mom, it was for the better. Can you excuse Matt and I? I need to speak with him privately in the bedroom." Cara said and Susan nodded.She walked up to Matt and held him by the hand she pulled him to her bedroom and shut the door."Oh god Matt, I told you framing him for rape wouldn't be enough to keep him in prison forever." She said in a low voice and Matt frowned."What should I have done? That was the only thing I could think of at the time." He replied with his hands tugged into his pocket."But I had suggested you frame him with murder, that would have been enough to keep in in jail forever." She pressed her hands on her forehead and sat on her bed."Murder would have been too much, we would have been caught. You don't have to worry, he is gone now and you can have me to yourself." He said and sat beside her on her bed. His hands caressed her exposed thighs."But you are rich, you should have handled it with your money and connections." Her frown not leaving her face as she looked at him."But it's fine now. And I will get even more wealthy with your help, just keep working and don't stop supporting me with your money, together we will become rich and nothing will stop us." Matt said with a loving smile that soon vanished when he placed her head on his chest in a loving manner. One couldn't tell what was in his mind.However, the door soon swung open disturbing their couple moment as Susan stood outside the door with a dreadful look. She stepped inside and her hand covered her mouth from shock."What's wrong?" Cara asked seeing the look on her mother's face. She stood up from the bed and walked towards her mother and tried to touch her but Susan shifted away."What? Why are you like that?" Cara asked, feeling worried and started to panic a little as her mother wouldn't say a word and just stood there with her hands covering her mouth as if in shock."You, what did I just hear? You were the reason he went to prison? You framed him and made him go to prison? The both of you..."Liam walked mindlessly on the street, his mind replaying every single thing that happened back at Cara's house, the way she rejected him and threw him out.His lips set on a thin line and one could see the hurt in his eyes. Though he put up a tough front, on a closer look, you could tell he was in pain.He had married Cara seven years ago after two years of dating, he thought she loved him as much as he did. She was pretty and lovely and did whatever he asked without questioning him.They were so happy together and his in-laws accepted him even though he had no proper job, he was a graphic designer and was learning coding on a free online site until the very faithful day he woke up to find himself in an alley with a girl covered in blood beside him.Someone had set him up and framed him for raping a teenager.As he walked, people gave him weird stares and some avoided him because of the way he looked, dirty like a homeless man.But Liam cared less about how anybody stared at him or ho
Inside a living room with green and cream decors, the three people sat together with the couple on one sofa and the older woman on the opposite sofa.One could note the look of disappointment in her aged eyes, her lips were pursed as she gave her daughter a sharp look."And why have you kept it away from me? You are the reason that young innocent man went to prison, do you know what that means?" Susan asked, feeling an incoming headache as her breathing came out rushed from anger."I'm so sorry, I just never loved him-" Cara tried to explain but nothing she said was appeasing to Susan."Then why did you agree to marry him? If you had never married him because you didn't love him, none of this would have happened! It wouldn't have come to this! Oh god...""Uhm, mom..." Matt spoke but the look he received from Susan made him rephrase his words, "Mrs Broda, this is all my fault and I truly apologize. I already met her before that criminal but I suggested she married him because I didn't
Nelson was evidently shaken by what he just witnessed, who was this homeless man? The man looked too strong to be a regular person.Liam looked down at the leader who was still on his knees, he raised the man by his shoulders and dragged him towards the van and without hesitation, Liam mercilessly pushed him into the driver's seat and buckled his seat belt.After securing the seat belt, he shut the door and went on to push the back door wide open and dragged the three unconscious men into and closed it.He looked at the leader who stared back at him with a mixture of anger and fear, he then said, "I hope this would be more than enough for whoever sent you. He should know better not to go after that young innocent man again.""Innocent man my foot, do you even have any idea what-" The leader who was agitated that Liam was interfering in his business was about to speak when Liam cut him off."I don't want to hear it because I don't even care, off you go now." He said and moved away from
This wasn't his plan at all. Following a rich brat to his uncle's mansion for heaven knows what reasons but he agreed anyway but not after so much persuasion.A few minutes ago. Liam was taken aback when he heard what the young man said and wondered if he was referring to him.And he wasn't the only person surprised, even the man who looked like the leader of these men was equally surprised.The man whose name was Sir Gibbs gave Nelson a questioning gaze as if trying to wrap his head around what his young master was saying."I'm sorry but may I know the reason?" Sir Gibbs asked and Nelson answered as quickly as he heard the question from him."Because he saved my life, I need to take him to my uncle and I have to properly thank him," Nelson explained, eagerness in his eyes.Gibbs looked at the man who still sat nonchalantly on the ground and pretended he didn't hear a single word of what Nelson just said."Does the man agree?" Gibbs asked, referring to Liam and a short silence followe
Liam walked behind Nelson as he took him to where his uncle's office was. Liam's mind was currently filled with possibilities and questions as he wondered what might happen if he met with this uncle.It took them a minute to get to the office's door and Nelson knocked on it and after five seconds he opened it and allowed Liam to step in.A bit sceptical at first, he eventually entered and the door was shut behind him.The first thing Liam took note of was the lingering smell in the air, it smelled different from the living room.The living room smelled of luxury and other pleasant things whereas this place had a mixture of wood and old books and cigar in the air.However, his eyes immediately landed on the grey cold eyes of a man seated before a huge mahogany table stacked with books.The man had his two hands folded on the table's surface with his chin resting on it and as he continued to stare at Liam, Liam also stared back and seemed to have frozen in his steps."You are the young
Due to the fact that Liam's back was facing Alexander, he failed to notice the small movement of the man's right hand the the narrowed look Alexander directed at him.And just when Liam reached the door and was ready to turn the doorknob, something unexpected happened. The ground beneath him opened up in a fast way and before Liam could understand what was happening, he fell right into the hole beneath him.A shocked expression marred his face and Liam found himself falling into a different room. With a loud thud, he landed on his back and the impact of his back on the floor caused dust to rise from the floor, his groans were soon overshadowed by the small cough that escaped his lungs due to the dust.He quickly stood on his feet and looked around to see where he was.However, the place was dark and cold, like nobody had been there for ages. He looked up at the place he fell from but was met with darkness.Liam was confused as to why this happened, was this Alexander's doing? If so th
After almost an hour, the fight was over with Liam lying tired on the floor. He was all sweaty and didn't care that the floor was dusty. His breathing came out heavily and rushed as he tried to get himself back.He was aching all over and Liam was sure he was currently covered in bruises. Apart from him, the unconscious men lay on the floor too with him in the middle.He was so exhausted that he was sure he would soon pass out. Twenty minutes already running by with Liam still in the same position and soon he heard footsteps of someone running towards him but he was just too tired to care or worry about who it was.However, the room was unexpectedly filled with light, chasing away the darkness and Liam removed the glasses from his eyes but quickly squinted them at how overwhelming the light was.But after having to adjust his eyesight, he looked around him and noticed how empty the room was except for him and the men who lay on the floor.But he couldn't look around for long because t
Liam was now fully dressed in long black pants with thin white stripes and a black jacket over a white long-sleeve shirt, he looked at his own reflection in the full-length mirror, a blank stare marred his now groomed face.All Liam could see was a totally different person. His beard was now cleanly shaved, his hair trimmed and neatly combed to the back, his formal dressing was so new to him.He was looking way too handsome that he was on the verge of questioning the heavens if this was truly him. Because as far as he could recall, his ugliness and unkept looks were one of the many reasons Cara rejected him right in his face.He looked nothing like the Liam he knew two days ago. What he looked now was like a contrast from his former self and it made him wonder if he would ever get used to this new look and life.Liam had no time to keep staring at himself as he needed to find Alexander, the old man was confusing him and Liam needed to be sure of what he signed up for.Earlier when he
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
