It took Matt just a few minutes to gobble down the food served to him by Maurice.'Was he this hungry?' Maurice wondered inwardly as he watched Matt who sat opposite him with his back resting lazily on his chair and on the table before Matt were the empty plates. He had eaten every single meal on his plate, not leaving even a single grain of rice behind."Were you this hungry?" Maurice voiced out his thoughts as he couldn't keep his curiosity to himself and Matt just gave him a stare without responding. Maurice took that as a silent yes.Deciding to leave Matt to his own thoughts, Maurice stood up packed up the plates and left for the kitchen which was in a corner of the restaurant divided by a big board.And while Maurice was busy getting things done around, Matt had dozed off on his chair even before he realized it. He must have been so tired that he couldn't hold himself from falling asleep.A few hours later, Matt finally woke up from his slumber to find the restaurant quiet and e
With Maurice's help, Matt got into a bus that was heading towards his location and of course, he dressed extravagantly, looking posh and trying to look like he was born into richness, he needed to impress Cara.Within a few minutes, the bus reached and Matt quickly arrived at the front door of Cara's house, he knocked a couple of times for the door to be finally opened by Nick, Matt had expected Cara to be the person to welcome him but Nick did instead.But not the typical warm welcome he would have appreciated."You, you ran away. Why?" Nick who stood by the slightly opened door asked with a disapproving frown on his face while he stared at Matt who looked a bit different, Nick had noticed.Nick couldn't help the fact that he suspected Matt too much. The more he thought about it, the more sense it made but at the same time, he also tried to picture Matt as someone who was nice and harmless which made it all even more complicated for him.And not to mention, just an hour ago, Nick had
With the room silent and all attention now on him, Matt felt sweaty and anxious, hoping Maurice would answer his call because this was now the fourth ring.If Maurice wouldn't respond, that would mean he never saw the text message. That fool never does anything right.Matt wasn't worried about the call not being answered, he was worried about the fact that the call not being answered would hinder his new plan. He had another plan and this phone call would be the first step forward. Without this phone call, then his plans would become noil and void, it would be invalid."He isn't responding, he must be very busy. Why don't you try calling him later? Maybe after dinner?" Cara asked with her hand resting on Matt's left shoulder, her eyes staring into his in reassurance.Hearing that Matt would be calling his multimillionaire father had her excited. That was because she didn't know Matt very much, even though they had been together for almost seven years. Matt had been hiding his identity
It was already nighttime and Liam was back at the mansion, he had showered and changed into a black sweatshirt and black sweatpants and he stepped out of his bedroom and headed towards Alexander's room, he knocked twice before he stepped in to meet Alexander seated on his wheelchair.Now that Liam thought about it, he had always seen Alexander on that wheelchair but he had never seen Alexander off the wheelchair like he was glued to it, it made him wonder if there was ever a time when he was removed from his wheelchair. But that was very absurd, there was no way he wouldn't be ever removed from that wheelchair, that sounded stupid."You ready?" Alexander asked and Liam nodded at him. "Good, now come push me." He ordered and Liam walked behind him to do as he was told and he pushed Alexander out of his bedroom and together they both headed for the abandoned side of the mansion where they kept Gianna tied up, Liam had learnt more things about her from Alexander.On getting to the place
The room where Gianna was tied in was located on the abandoned side of the huge mansion, the room was dark but now brightened up as all the windows that had been closed were now opened. The room was basically empty with nothing inside. Apart from the seat where Gianna was tied to, there was nothing else and only Liam, Alexander, Gianna and one security guard were currently inside the room.Liam who stood before Gianna with his phone held in his hand spoke as Chorro was still on the call with him."You and your puppy dog have been caught, I know you sent Gianna to try and kill with a 'harmless tea', whatever that is and no matter how hard I think about it, it just sounds absurd and stupid. How you had confidently thought you could easily kill me with the help of a woman, how funny." Liam said with a sinister grin on his lips and with his index finger still on Gianna's lips to prevent her from speaking.However, the grin soon vanished from his lips as there was no time to play around. "
The following day, both Liam and Alexander had both gone to the company as early as possible, leaving Nelson at the mansion.Of course, Nelson had no idea of what Liam had found out about him, allowing him to act normal and natural around Liam like nothing had happened. He had even exchanged greetings with Liam at the breakfast table before Liam left for work. And of course, Liam returned his greetings like he knew nothing.One could already guess how Liam found Nelson amusing.However, right after Liam and Alexander left the mansion, Nelson quickly made his way to the abandoned side of the mansion.Just yesterday, he had seen Liam and Alexander walk in this direction and he had no idea why or what they were up to and of course, his curious self followed right behind them to know why they were heading there.Alas, he couldn't keep up because the guards positioned at the door shooed him away. But that never meant he would just give up. Not to mention, his mind was occupied with what Li
Today was the day Mr Broda would be buried, as Susan had stopped the investigation of his murder, the date had been shifted to today.He would be buried in a local cemetery and only friends and families would be invited. Although Liam wasn't invited, he made sure to attend as Mr Broda was still his father-in-law by law and he genuinely loved the man.And Liam couldn't stop blaming himself for the death of Mr Broda. Maybe if he had not left the house that day, he would still be alive. Maybe he would have somehow been able to stop the killer and Mr Broda wouldn't have died.Before he headed for the burial, he got to the company first and did a little work. As he had no assistant yet, he did most of the things himself which was why he couldn't afford to slack.With his car packed beside the cemetery, he got into the building to see everyone was already gathered with the priest saying prayers for Mr Broda.Liam came to stand behind everyone but with his eyes on the grave as he listened in
The cemetery where the late Mr Broda was being buried was a big one in a vast land, trees could be seen almost everywhere and it was a peaceful place, safe for the constant sound of nature.However, today being the day of his burial ceremony, the cemetery was nowhere near being peaceful as chaos had just begun.At the loud sound of a hand smacking a face, gasps from the people gathered around filled the once peaceful place as they all stared wide-eyed at the scene before them.Liam who had not expected the sudden slap on his cheek out of the blue sighed as he placed his palm on his cheek and rubbed on it to feel his numb cheek before he turned to his side to see who was responsible for the unexpected slap on his face.His dark eyes fell on a pair of hazel ones, it turned out to be one of Cara's distant Aunt who had somehow heard of Liam. And seeing her today, Liam was confused as to why she would approach him in such a manner, a slap. That was too far.Looking at her, he raised his le
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
