Liam was godsmacked! The last person he was expecting to see, was the person he was facing currently. He was astonished, simply because he knew the person waiting for him.
It was totally unbelievable, and he frowned!
A deep laughter resounded out, but it only brought pressure to the butler and the guards present.
" Are you astonished to see me or the other way?" A familiar man, sitting calmly on the couch, with a noble look, his body radiating of nothing but grace!
Liam looked back at the old man and glared at him but didn't utter anything.
The familiar person was none other than Liam's father, Bruce Will.
" Nah, now don't look at the butler like that. He means well." Bruce smiled, as he pointed to the old man, who brought Liam to the mansion.
Liam took a deep breath to suppressed the inner turmoil and the brewing anger in him! Obviously, he wasn't pleased to see his father, and he pondered on why his father wanted to see him.
Ever since his father had left him in his young age with his mother all alone. He had resent his father and wished to never see him again. He believed his father didn't want to accept him, cause he was born from a mistress, who was his mother. He couldn't take in a mistress and a bastard, that was why he left them to survive by themselves.
" Why are you here?" He asked boldly, with a narrowed look. " If you want to see me, then you are only deceiving yourself because I don't want to see you!"
This time, Bruce laughed in a friendly manner, and he crossed one leg over the other.
" I know." He still maintained a calm look, as he replied. " But there is a reason why I am here. I just feel this is the right time."
Instantly, Liam got confused, and his frown deepened.
" What are you saying?"
" Won't you take a seat first?" Bruce demanded, and he immediately sat straight to face his son. " You must know the truth." He said cryptically.
Liam stole glances around, before he took a seat and decided to hear his father out.
Bruce sighed, old age evident from his face. He fixed his hawk eyes on Liam. " I know what I did was absurd, but I want you to know it was all a plan. I didn't leave you and your mother alone. I gave her some money to take care of you, and I explained my reasons to her, but she was to adamant to believe me." He confessed and explained.
" Can you blame her? She gave you everything, and you still abandoned her! That was uncalled for!" He retorted and looked away impolitely from his father.
" I know. I don't have any reason to judge you. But that was in the past. You see this butler here, I set him up to look after you and to observe the kind of person you are." He said and winked at the old man .
This made Liam to become puzzled the more. He was getting too confused today to the extent, he felt like passing out soon.
" Relax. I told you, it's not to harm you or anything dangerous. As a matter of fact, he lived near you just to protect you and make sure you are the right heir." He said and pursed his lips. He allowed Liam to digest the news he was giving to him for a second, before he continued.
Liam was taken aback, and he blinked his eyes....
" My wife gave birth to only females, but you are the only son I have. Rightfully, 70% of my wealth and business is yours. That is why I wanted you to finish your college and know the kind of person you are, before handling over my business and wealth to you."
" What??" Liam jumped up, bewildered to hear this, and he thought something had happened to his ears.
" This is not true!" He shook his head and turned his back. " Please, I am dreaming!"
Bruce chuckled and relaxed himself even more. " If I am pulling your legs, I won't be here."
Again, Liam felt lightheaded, and his eyes rolled to his brain!
This was more than he could take or chew! It was too much, but he didn't know this was just the start.
He parted his lips, but no words came out. He was just too...stupifield and amazed!
" You might get a heart attack if you continue acting like that."
Bruce warned him playfully and passed him a glass of wine. " Digest what I just told you first."
" Mother told you are a wealthy person, but she never told me how wealthy you are." Liam was in disbelief and doubt, and he gazed up at his father.
Just then, his phone rang, and he immediately picked it up.
" Hello." He greeted, as he answered the call.
" Liam Storm, long time bro." The person on the other end, also greeted, laughing across the other line.
Liam nodded. It was his friend back in college days.
" Yes." He replied.
" A party is coming up for the graduation, this evening. Are you up for it? You should come." His friend said, inviting him to the after party of the graduation.
" No. I don't think I should come." Liam replied, lowering his head.
" Oh why? You don't want to miss out the fun there." His friend teased playfully.
" Okay." Liam hung up instantly and placed his phone to one side.
" I wish I can go, but I can't because I don't have a job or nothing," his words muffled beneath his breath, and he pinched the bridge of his nose.
" Haha!" Bruce laughed again and shook his head amusingly. " What do you mean?" Then, he passed Liam a black golden card.
" What's this?" Liam questioned, his eyes glueing to the card passed to him.
" Just take it." Bruce was impatient. " This is a graduation gift for you.
Liam took it and checked the card out. " It's a money card. How much is in it?"
Bruce stood up and straightened himself. " You don't have to know. You can't spend it all anyway," He sessed, with a solemn look.
Liam also stood up, but his eyes contacted slowly upon hearing that.
Bruce ignored his son's look and gestured for his men and the butler to lead the way.
" Let me see if you are ready. I am going to give you a mission."
Liam's eyes flickered, dimming immediately, and he held the card tightly.
Bruce walked forward to meet Liam and patted his shoulder slightly.
" Spend 1 million dollars on your graduation party."
Liam couldn't believe what he heard again from his father! Before he could say a word or reply, his father had vanished with the rest. The mansion suddenly became lonely, and he exhaled, rubbing his face. He took a seat, and his mind flew to everything that had happened today. It was all too fast and unbelievable. Who would have imagined such a thing? He checked the black golden card again and shook his head. Later in the evening, Liam decided to show up at the party, which was going to take place at one of the biggest bar in the city. There was no exotic car for him now, so he decided to take a cab to the party. During the drive, he shut his eyes slightly, reminiscing about what his father said earlier. He couldn't just stop thinking about it. 1 million for a day at the party?! How was he supposed to spend that?! He got unbalanced again and squeezed his face in discomfort. He just believed that was impossible, but he had to try because of the next thing coming for him.
The bartender's mouth went wide like it just got hit by a frog! " 100 bottles?!" He screamed in his mind and quickly rushed forward to meet Liam again. In this way, he pushed Sarah, the timid bar assistant, away and faced Liam with a polite look. Sarah, who was moved aside swiftly, ended up pulling her brows together as a small squirm escaped from her mouth, out of shock. " Mr. Graceful, I am back. I don't have any other things to do again, so I will serve you now. You want 100 bottles right? For that, you will get an extra free drink." He unhurriedly said, respectfully attending to Liam, who narrowed his eyes with a displeased look." That's how we treat our good customers. And you know what? The 100 bottles aren't available at once now, but I will made a quick order now, and it shall be delivered before you know it." The bartender added to his words, without minding Liam's displeased look. What he was inwardly calculating was the bonus and profit he was going to get f
Liam didn't feel disappointed anymore. He was slowly getting used to this, and at this point, it only dawned on him the kind of person his ex was. He sighed and finally decided to take a seat to put all his thoughts together. As he sat down calmly, he seized himself up and down but actually, he was satisfied with his look. He believed he didn't have to show a flashy look, before his worth could be revealed. Just then, as he was thinking, the bar door clicked open and his coursemates in the college, started walking in, filling the bar at the same time. From their looks, it was evident they were all doing well, and appearing graceful and honorable as ever!They stormed in, with their expensive outfits, shoes, bags, watch, looks, and so on, with satisfied cool look all plastered on their faces. Some of them even came with their lovers. But as expected, none of them talked to Liam or even greeted him. They all ignored him like he didn't exist and just focused on others. Evidentl
What followed his statement, was nothing, but a hall engulfed in absolute silence! But soon after, a loud burst of laughter resounded, as everyone instantly regained their senses. They all made a derisive laughter and pointed their fingers at him. " Did you just hear that? A worthless idiot want to buy the most expensive drink here?" " He can't even afford an ordinary buns, not to talk of bread, worst of all, an expensive drink! Oh, he must be kidding!" " Kidding? This is far from that! He is just bragging, trying to make us know he is also not ordinary!" " He must be a fool to think like that! Who does he wants to impress? Us? What can a poverty sicken dog like him do to impress us? This is absolutely unworthy and just depict how dump he is!" " I agree! Even if he has the money to buy a drink, I suggest he should use it to improve his life, especially his condition of living. Just look at the ordinary cloth he is putting on, even my cleaner's salary can afford his cloth
Sarah couldn't understand what Beverly meant, but she didn't debate or think on that. She looked at Liam again and said, " Sir, please don't misunderstand me. The drinks are too heavy, that is why I came to call some of the waiters to help me and also to return your card." She explained carefully, ignoring Beverly's look. Then she passed the black golden card to Liam. " Here sir." Liam sighed inwardly, and collected the card. He had first thought the card was a fake one and was now prepared to rain so much curses on his father for disappointing him again! After Sarah's explanation, everyone shut their mouths instantly! They didn't dare to say anything, not after what they heard. It was unbelievable, and it made them stunned! Max in particular, stood up and went forward to meet Sarah with a conflicted look. " What do you mean the drinks are heavy? Did he really buy the drinks? But that's impossible!" He didn't gave Sarah a chance at all. Sarah struggled to maintained her b
Liam clenched his jaws, as his nostrils started to flare! He couldn't believe what these fried brains were saying! A great feeling of resentment and extreme anger roamed across his eyes, and he felt like unleashing a serious comeback at them!Jasper glanced at Liam and noticed he was annoyed just as he was. This even intensified his anger, and he lashed out at both Max and Beverly. " You guys are just envious that Liam can buy 10 bottles of the most expensive drinks here, while you guys can't even afford two of it!" " Oh, please!" Beverly waved indifferently at Jasper and snorted coldly. " Don't pretend as if you don't know how Liam got the money! I can sense both of you are involve in the same thing! Well, I am not amazed, birds of the same feather flock together." " Shut the fuck up Beverly! You are damn crazy for saying that!" Jasper yelled and stepped forward, growling. Max scoffed and pointed at Jasper and Liam. " I will make sure you two don't get away with this, sin
Bruce stared into Liam's eyes and saw how determined he was, feeling the weight of his fierce words. " Then I will make you become someone you never imagined yourself to be! I will make you mighty and invincible! That's the only way I can make it up to you." The atmosphere in the car turned something else, after Bruce's words. This was when Liam's eyes locked with the old man butler's eyes. It seemed they both understood something. After that, the car zoomed away. ~~~~~ Meanwhile at the bar. After Liam was taken away by the cops, Jasper also felt humiliated, but the anger that overwhelmed him was more than the humiliation he felt. The college mates all cheered Beverly and Max for what they did. They swam around them, discussed, laughed, and even exchanged contacts. " Beverly, I really didn't think you can treat that asshole like that, but he surely deserves it!" " Yes! I like the way he was taken away by the cops and the expression on his face." " Oh, that was
Five years later..Avalon city. A young man appearing to be in his late twenties, stepped out of the private jet and glanced around. His body was clothed with an exquisite tailored made suit, that hugged his well built body, perfectly accentuating his long legs and the uniqueness of his body. Although, he looked striking and pleasing to the eyes, but his aura wasn't. It felt as if there was a barrier around him, subconsciously stopping anybody from approaching or moving close to him. He was like an unfathomable mystery. His eyes were sharp and frosty as they scanned the city.It had been a while. " My....Lord..." A trembling short figure, tried to approached the young man, wiping his sweats at the same time nervously. " Get the car ready." The young man ordered calmly and stuffed his hands into his pocket, before he strode away coldly. The trembling short man adjusted his gold rimmed eyeglass anxiously and stepped back slightly, before nodding obediently. " Yes...My
“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
