Sarah suck in a deep breath and inclined her head slightly downward. " Why are you keeping your identity a secret?" But immediately they she asked that, she instantly regretted it when she noticed the change in the atmosphere and goose pimples appeared on her skin unexpectedly.." Is that your duty now?" A low flat reply was heard, and Sarah quickly shook her head negatively. " Get out." Liam turned his back and faced the large window, slowly cracking his face with solemn eyes. Sarah gasped and hurriedly skipped away from Liam's office. Staying there for one more second, was dangerous to her, and she knew it. When she was out of sight, Liam picked a file and skimmed through it. It was the copy of Max's contract file. A cold nefarious smile tugged the corner of his lips, and he snorted. " Don't bother yourself Max, I am just getting started." ~~~~~~ ~ The State ~ Elsa sat gracefully in the magnificent mansion like castle, with her body screaming of affluence, as
Ariana widened her eyes hearing this, and she twisted her face. She felt irritated immediately with this and hissed loudly. " You are sick, mum!" Annoyingly, she stormed off!Elsa watched her daughter till she was out of sight and balled her fists! " The nerve of you to still stay here?! It seems you don't value your life!" She lashed out at the assistant and took the broken tea cup, wanting to throw it at the servant. The servant yelped and quickly scurried away! Elsa tugged her hair, the moment she was the one alone in the living room and headed straight to the wine cellar. She was so enraged to the extent she badly wanted to calm herself down. So, she took out a pack of cigar, remove one and lit it up. The same time, she poured herself a glass of hard wine..Sipping the wine and inhaling the cigar, her mind raced to Bruce's unknown bastard, who she was still yet to figure out.This was when an idea sparked in her head, and she curled her lips darkly. " Why don't we play
Max drew in a breath and gazed right into Beverly's eyes. " You have to use your assets to get Mr. Storm and make him do our biddings." Hearing this, Beverly's face changed, and she stood up from Max's thighs. " What was that huh?" She crossed her arms over her chest and scoffed, wanting to refuse what Max just said. " I can't believe you just said that. What do you take me for?" " No, Beverly you are getting it wrong." Max also stood up and placed his hands on her arms from behind. " I don't mean it that way, but you know this will be the only choice for us if the plan doesn't work. I just want you to understand that. Besides, our engagement party is already close, do you want this situation to ruin what we have been planning for five years? C'mon, Beverly think about it. I can't do this without you," he rested his chin on her neck, as he tried to persuade her. Beverly exhaled and pressed a hand over her face. " I will try." She turned to Max and embraced him tenderly. "
The president lowered his eyes and turned his attention to the assistant.." Is it Liam Storm or not?" The assistant gulped down and replied, " It is, Mr. President." " Damn!" The president's expression turned ugly, and he twitched his lips. " I know it's him. I know!" He was actually aware it was Liam Storm, who acquired all the medical institutions in Avalon, and it pissed him off, but he had to back his thought with a solid proof, which was why he sent his assistant to investigate about it. " Mr. President, what do you intend on doing?" The assistant asked the president. " What else?!" The president snapped and hissed in annoyance. " Bring him down without him knowing! I have to let him know I control this country and not him! I am the ruler here, and he has to bow to him!" He took out his phone and dialed an unfamiliar line. " I want you to start monitoring Liam Storm as from now on. Update me on anything he is doing. I have to use something to get him out of the pict
It didn't take long when they got to the mansion. Getting off from the car, Liam called Gwin and instructed him, " Tell all the companies cooperating with Max and his father's company to cut off all collaborations now, or else they should prepare to face my wrath! If Max and his father want to know why, they should ask their beloved upcoming family member!" Gwin shivered with the tone of Liam, but he wouldn't dare to waste any time in executing Liam's order. ~~~ At this time, Griffen was skimming through some files in his study room, when he suddenly got a call from one of the shareholders of the company. " Hello, prof. It's been a while," Griffen said, as soon as he answered the call and placed down the file in his hand.." Keep the greeting to yourself Griffen! You almost ruined my life, but I won't let you! I am withdrawing all my shares from the company, and I won't partner with you again!" The shareholder at the other end of the call, bawled immediately. " You can c
Max was immediately flummoxed and astounded." What has Beverly got to do with this situation, Dad?" Griffen was impatient and wasn't in the proper mood to give Max an answer. " You two better bring your ass here now!" Max felt something weird and perilous from his father's tone and instantly knew this was no joke at all. " Yes, dad." " Arhhh!" Griffen fisted his palms and banged the desk loudly! " Mr. Storm! What have I done to deserve this?!" Emilia pushed open the door in a startled manner. Her eyes flew all around the study room till it landed on Griffen, who was pacing back and forth, with a troubled look."Is there something wrong?" She ambled forward and asked worriedly. " I came here, when I heard your shout." " Leave me alone!" Griffen snapped at her in irritation and pushed her aside, as he proceeded out of the study. " Ha!" Emilia yelped, almost losing her balance. " What is wrong with you, Griffen?!" Griffen got to the living room and waited for Max
Max didn't stop and continued with his beating.Beverly, who was groaning out of discomfort and pain, suddenly went quiet and stopped breathing....." Haaaa!" Emilia was swift to notice this, and she panicked! " What have you done?!"Griffen narrowed his eyes and pressed his lips together. " Mum, don't disturb me. I need to deal with her!" Max snapped at Emilia and clenched his fists even tighter. " Max, stop! She is not breathing anymore!" Emilia exclaimed and hurried forward.." What?!" Max paused and looked down at Beverly.." Beverly!" He called loudly and shook her body, but there was no response from her. " Is she?" Emilia knelt on the tiled floor and gasped, with fear surging in her heart..Max's face turned ugly and crestfallen! " No! She can't be! I was just....... what have I done?!" Emilia patted her chest and drew in a deep breath. " Let's take her to the hospital now, before it's too late," she said. Max nodded and carried Beverly in a bridal style. " Mum, ple
Liam was amused but didn't have time for this.Without giving a response, he hung up and snapped his right index finger with his right thumb. " Track them down!" He gave a sharp order to Gwin! " Right away sir!" Gwin scram away immediately.~~~ On the flip side, David and Clara were astonished with what Liam just did. " Do you think he is going to drop that kind of money?" Clara shook her head with doubt and questioned David. David pinched the bridge of his nose and kept his phone in his pocket. " He must! He doesn't have a choice, or else I will expose him, with his appearance. He has to pay for what he made me go through." " I am just asking though," Clara muttered beneath her breath and turned her back. " If that's it, then I guess we have to wait. He might call us back or send us a message." David's eyes twitched and got impatient even more.." Well, he better be quick." ~~~ It was already evening time. The situation of the Rogers' business, and what they
“Oh my goodness!“ Zelda exclaimed in shock“Didn't I stop you from coming in here?“ He asked. “Why are you here? What do you plan on doing?“ He asked again, but got no response“Liam! What are you doing?“ Zelda asked worriedly, but he ignored her“Answer me you bitch” he yelled“She can't respond if you keep choking her,” Zelda informed. He released her from his grip and stared daggers at herShe understood, but refused to speak“You won't talk? We'll see about that when I fully have your time” Liam said and instructed his men to take her away, which they did“Zelda, are you okay?“ He asked moving towards Zelda, but she stopped him“Don't!“ She said, and he halted“I still don't want to talk to you. Please Leave,” she continued. He nodded and left the roomHe closed the door behind him and sat in front of it, till anytime Zelda was ready to talk to him. ~~~~~~ Since the news about Liam's identity had spread to all parts of the country, strangely, it made black diamond corpora
Once it was evening time. “Goodnight Doc” A nurse whose shift had just ended bade the doctor farewell, but he got no response. Her mind was preoccupied with what she planned on doingAs a doctor, killing a patient on purpose was a very serious offense and she knew what was at risk, but who could say no to that amount of cash that was offered to her? Just thinking about the things she could do with the money made her heart dance“Stop messing around and get the job done, only then can you fantasize for as long as you want” A tiny voice in her head said and she began to move towards the hospital labPeeking in through the door, she discovered that there was no one there. Looks like luck was on her sideQuickly getting the drug she needed, she left and made for Zelda's ward, the drug was meant to stimulate the tumor in Zelda's brain and cause her to die within minutes“Oh God!“ The doctor whispered. Her luck ran out when she found Liam standing in front of Zelda's door. The way he stood
She took in deep exaggerated breath from speaking too fast without pausing, and her jaws set, annoyed, heartbroken and crestfallen! " I want a divorce Liam!" She declared in a solemn tone.Liam scowled and stepped forward." Get back! Don't come close to me!" She warned him in a low voice. " Zelda, you can't do this! I didn't mean to keep the truth about who I am from you! I only wanted to protect you and not let you get involve in all this! Yes, it was all my fault, but I am sorry. I only did it because I love you, and I don't want to lose you! Of course, I am still going let you know some day, but that would be when I am free from all the troubles! I just .......did it for you."He tried to explain himself, despite how he was hurting, but he sincerely hoped for Zelda to believe and forgive him. " No, Liam! You did it for yourself!" Zelda refused to accept his explanation and snorted! " Have you thought about how I was going to feel about this, when you hid it from me? I
Suddenly! She gaped and slumped to the ground unexpectedly, allowing darkness to engulfed her harshly......Seeing this, Angelina panicked and exclaimed! " Mum!" Lin mu wasn't expecting this from Zelda, and her eyes turned frantic, screaming of worry. Immediately, Angelina took the phone from Lin mu and made a call to Liam. " Dad, you have to come now! Mum just fainted." The crowd were stunned and couldn't comprehend what just happened to Zelda. Andrea and Brian were terrified to their wits when they realized the truth! It was too incredulous!Their hearts trembled in shock , and they instantly deemed it fit to call their backer before anything. How could they afford to hurt the most powerful man in the country when he can just crush them with his mere look!They really didn't believe Liam with how gentle and calm he appeared, was actually the formidable Zillionaire! Zelda was taken to the hospital on time by Lin Mu and Angelina tagged along. The moment they left, Andrea and
The news about Liam's identity had already spread like a wild fire across the country. Many citizens astonished to be aware of it, and it strike a great deal in the county..Just within few minutes of it been released from an unknown source, almost all the people in the country and even in the states identified Liam Storm!!It was totally disbelieving! " Ha, I think I woke up on the wrong side today! What am I seeing?" " I can't believe this." " So, that country pumpkin is actually the top one man in the county?" " Can you please tell this is a joke?! So, we have actually been around the most powerful man in the world without us knowing!" " Oh, this is thrilling! I finally know who Liam Storm is! This must spread to the whole world!"It became a hot discussion in the country. ~~~~~~Liam's mansion Zelda and Lin mu were still oblivious of what was going on. Once Lin Mu was about to take her leave, Zelda decided to escort her out. Angelina also trailed after them. I
As Liam was about to take the drink, her heart raced, and her eyes contracted. Unexpectedly, Liam's phone rang.His eyes lowered at the phone and he didn't hesitate to answer it, placing down the cup of medicinal drink, and he stood up from the dinning room..." Excuse me." "Okay honey."'Zelda nodded and gestured for him to leave. A look of disappointment flashed across Andrea and Brian's face, but they were careful enough not to show it. After Liam left, Zelda and Angelina chatted on the dining room without talking to Andrea and Brian.Andrea rolled her eyes inwardly with disdain and turned to Zelda again. " You should take the drink since your useless husband didn't take it." She acted as if she didn't care, but she was secretly praying and hoping for Zelda to take the drink. Zelda lifted her eyes at Andrea and squinted them sharply. " What did I say again? I don't like it!"She hissed and withdrew her gaze in annoyance. Andrea dropped her gaze downward and balled her fi
The doctor's heart arched and decided to take pity on her. " I think I know someone who can heal you." She confessed with a sigh. " But it has to be our top secrets." Beverly glanced at the doctor, and the gloom in her eyes shattered into extreme wickedness and viciousness! “ Although, it would cost a lots of money.” The doctor added with a sense of worry. Beverly sneered and clenched her fists! “That won’t be a problem, as long as I can be able to work!” “ You will,” the doctor assured her truthfully. Max just watched their discussion with confusion written over his face. He was still pondering on what to do concerning Beverly. Beverly lowered her eyes coldly.She was going to get back at Liam and his family for this. ~~~~~ The next day spread out quickly, normal as usual. Liam got up from the bed and checked Zelda, including Angelina just to be sure they were fine. When they were awake, Liam called them together and apologized again for not being ther
He was secretly proud of them with the kind of loyalty that was exhibited and promised to them first. Though, there were other plans for them. In that moment, Liam received a video of the man been taken to the Pacific ocean, so his junior can be fed to the sharks.The video was a live one, and he relaxed himself even more just to watch it. King Oscar happened to be beside Liam and his expression paled the instant his eyes settled and understood what was in the video. Pa Black and Steven noticed his expression but they seemed hesitant to also see what was on the video. Liam curled his lips darky and motioned for them to come closer to him. " I don't bite, and you don't want to miss the fun." They quickly leaned closer and peered their eyes into the video. A man suddenly shouted in the video. " My Lord, we are ready!" " Go ahead." Liam's low and sinister voice flowed out immediately. A familiar man was tied with thick ropes, with his body bare completely. He was none other
Liam was out of the dean's office and he propelled towards ward ten. The hall was silent, which was perfectly what he wanted. It didn't take long for him to arrive at ward ten, which was a familiar ward. He didn't hesitate and stepped into the ward, the instant the door was opened....Beverly was just preparing to have her medicine as she was done with her dinner. She laid down and struggled to lift her body, so she could take her drug from the side table, which was three metres away from her bed. Suddenly, a hand stretched over and took the medicine instead.." You want this?" Liam's figure towered over her in a suppressing manner, his deep eyes capturing every bit of her. Beverly froze , her lips stiffening, not expecting to see Liam at this hour. She seemed to think of something for some seconds, and her expression changed into one of an aggrieved person. " Why are you here?" There was an underlying meaning in her strange tone, and she adjusted herself on the bed, not
