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
Arriving at the company, Liam was greeted by the employees as he walked by and he acknowledged their greetings with nods. The lobby of Sterling Global Ventures was a big and busy one with people walking about.However, even with how busy it was, it was difficult not to notice the CEO passing by and all heads would turn towards his direction while lips moved as they all spoke about the CEO. And the fact that he wasn't wearing his regular suit made it even more difficult for people not to talk, they in fact had so much to say.And one of the many topics surrounding the CEO was how breathtakingly handsome he was. But then, Liam had no idea about these things, not that he cared.With his eyes regularly checking his wrist for the time, Liam headed for the elevator and once it opened up, he stepped in and the elevator took him up but not to his office floor but instead, to the floor where his next board meeting would be held in a few minutes.He soon arrived at the conference room and stepp
Back at the burial ceremony of the late Mr Broda, everyone was still recovering from the shock brought upon them by Liam, especially Aunty Mona but no one could tell if the lady would ever recover from what Liam had said to her.As for Susan, the grieving wife of the late Mr Broda. She paid no attention to the people around her. Although she was inwardly furious that Liam had dared to show up here to mock her family, she couldn't dwell much on the matter and right after Liam had left, she walked towards her husband's grave and knelt beside it.Apart from Aunty Mona, the most humiliated person was Cara. She couldn't forget how Liam had shoved her to the side, she had nearly lost her balance and would have fallen to the ground if not for Matt who quickly came to her side and held her on time.It was the audacity of Liam for her, just because he became a common CEO, he had dared to be so cocky. This thought made her clench her fist tightly as she imagined stabbing Liam a million times wi
Almost an hour ago, after Nelson had shared what he had seen today at the mansion with Terry, Terry had advised him to quickly report what he saw to the police and after listening to Terry's words, Nelson realized that his friend did have a good point. What Terry said made a lot of sense.After spending a short time with him, Nelson left the place and quickly headed for the city's police station to report what he had seen in that room.Now at the police station, Nelson was inside a small office seated on a chair and opposite him was a man dressed in a formal attire which was definitely a norm.The man was a middle aged man, he sat directly opposite Nelson with an old wooden table in between them and he stared at Nelson, waiting for the young man to say something or anything."Good day Inspector Steve..." Nelson began with a greeting but trailed off at the end."Just call me Officer Steve, it's nice meeting you. Who are you and what do you have going on?" Officer Steve introduced himse
The meeting wasn't really progressing as Liam had thought it would because none of them agreed to let Nelson become his personal secretary.But then again, does their opinion really matter? He was the CEO and could do whatever he wanted, right? Not to mention, Alexander who was the chairman had already agreed to this. So why worry about the board members who were against it?While his thoughts were running around in circles, Liam brought his hands that were resting on his forehead to the surface of the table and he sat upright, leaning forward and was ready to say something.However, the sudden abrupt opening of the door made him pause as he turned his head towards the direction of the door to see who had such audacity. A deep frown appeared on his eyebrows and his dark eyes were icy.As if his struggles here weren't enough, someone had dared to interrupt his meeting. The same meeting he just couldn't wait to wrap up.However, seeing Officer Steve and standing behind the officer were
"And is that Someone Nelson Sterling?" Liam asked, his eyes sharp at the officer who frowned and seemed a little confused."Nelson? I'm not sure because I did not get the person's name. Why do you ask?" "What kind of policeman won't get the name of a person who came to report a case?" Liam murmured to himself before opening the door and they all stepped out and they left the company in the police truck.Reaching the mansion, at first, the security men had refused to open the gate however, when they saw Liam inside the truck, they quickly opened it and the truck drove in and parked in a good spot.Everyone stepped out and they all stood before the glorious mansion and it was indeed a big mansion. But thankfully, they wouldn't have to search the whole place because someone would be showing them the main place where the supposed crime took place.And speaking of someone, Nelson who had been inside patiently waiting for the officers to show up with Liam handcuffed immediately sprang up f
A few hours ago, right after Liam had left the late Mr Broda's burial ceremony and before he went to the company, he had first drove to the mansion for no apparent reason and that was when he noticed that the room where he kept Gianna had been invaded by someone.Liam was sure the only person who could find out about Gianna and that room was Nelson, only Nelson could be that daring and nosy.And Liam knew Nelson wouldn't just leave it at that, they young man might do something and Liam knew it.He then quickly came up with an idea, instead of leaving everything the way they were, Liam quickly cleaned up the place.With the help of Alexander's private doctor, Gianna was moved to a hospital very quickly and Liam had the servants clean up the room and every other rooms in that abandoned side of the mansion.With the room now looking normal, whatever Nelson would think of doing would become null and void because whatever it was that he saw was no longer in existence....Seeing that there
