Chapter 118On arrival at the restaurant, Naya got in, leaving Wren in the car. While they were still on the way, she had begged him profusely to join them but he had refused saying he doesn't eat fast food. Now seated against the table she had chosen for them, her gaze was fixed on the entrance and so she was having a clear view of who was walking into the restaurant and those who were leaving. A few minutes later, yet Liam was nowhere to be found. She wasn't worried about this since she felt it was his job that had held him back. To keep herself busy, she began to scroll through her phone in search of something interesting to invest her time into. Smiling at the pictures she had taken with Rose at the hospital on her last visit, she started to make plans on her next visit. With just a few visits, she had found herself endeared to Rose already and didn't mind spending the whole day with her if she had the chance to do so. Doing this took her time but she had no idea about it un
Pushing his hand into his hair, Liam slowly lowered himself on the next seat, “I'm sorry, I should leave.” He said the next minute, pulling himself up. Before he could even take a step, Naya grabbed his arm, “Why? Is anything the issue?” She asked with a look of worry on her face. Suddenly, her eyes caught the injury spot which was prominent because of the large patch of blood. She was about to mention it to him, when Nelson rose, “You shouldn't be here.”“Nelson.” Naya called, disappointment written all over her face. She was scared that Nelson was going to create a scene like he always does whenever he was pissed. She tried to square off with him but Liam was quick to stop her. Smiling at him, he pushed his hand forward, “I'm William's Armani, nice to see you Nelson.” He said. The angry look on Nelson's face disappeared and it was replaced with curiosity. This was the first time they were meeting yet he already knew his name. Thinking it was Naya who had spilled information abo
Chapter 120After dinner, they got into Naya's car and then Wren drove them to the station.Liam's car had been condemned because of the hit it had received and so the towing services had towed it out of the road so it would cause accidents in the near future. During the drive Naya wouldn't stop talking to Nelson and he responded to every word and emotion just like she had wanted it. Liam who was seated with Wren at the front had his hand resting on his head as he stared out of the window. The night was colorful because of the neon street light that adorned the city. If it was before, he would get lost in the beauty but with several thoughts running through his head at the same time, he couldn't concentrate. Deep down, he knew it was an insider attack and he was wondering who it was.It was going to be hard because he couldn't find anything useful in tracking the men that had attacked him and from what they had said, they were employed by a person with no identity. “Are you bothe
Now seated behind his study table in his room, Liam was rubbing his nape, staring at the laptop which was just getting booted on. With the tone his mother had used, he didn't need anyone to tell him that she was furious and wouldn't mind going any length to ensure that the people who were involved would be fished out promptly. He was still staring at the screen of his laptop when his mother's call came through and at once he received it. “Mom…” he called, biting the side of his lips. “Are you home now?” She asked and he nodded before answering, “Yes, I got in not too long ago.” Madam Aurelia who was seething with anger as she paced around her office refused to say a word and Liam on his part was patient, knowing fully well that she was somewhere trying to cool off. When it was getting to quarter of an hour without a word from her, he became scared. He didn't allow his mind to start making up scenarios for him before he yelled, “Mom, are you okay?” “I'm son.” She replied with a
The next morning, after barely getting enough sleep, Liam groped his way to the bathroom to clean up. Since Nelson was around, he wasn't going to hurry out, instead, he was going to have breakfast with them. Apart from his presence, he has already made that decision the previous day. While cleaning his teeth, his phone began to ring, guessing it was his mother on the line, he quickly dashed into his room and then recovered his phone. “Mom.” He called, placing the device against his ear. “Hope you had a good night's rest.” She asked. “Yeah, what about you?” “I'm okay.” Now applying shaving cream on his jaw to shave his stubbles, he kept on staring at the screen of his phone since she had gone mute again. After what seems like forever, she took in a deep breath before saying, “I'm sorry about how I had reacted last night. I was so mad that I couldn't control my rage, making me speak harshly to you.” “Come on mom, you did nothing wrong so you shouldn't be apologizing. I understan
Nelson was about to start asking more questions when Naya joined them with a tray that held two mugs of steaming cocoa. “Are you certain you will be able to wait until after breakfast?” She asked Liam as she placed a mug in front of him. “What are you up to?” Liam asked. “I want to prepare a large breakfast. I know you will be skipping lunch. It wouldn't be bad if you have lunch and breakfast at once.” She chuckled while Liam laughed, trying to get the image of Nathan from his head. He wanted to ask if she had spoken to Nathan recently but since he didn't want to spark up any flames just yet, he kept mute. “I will help you, so he won't run late for work.” Nelson offered and together, they returned to the kitchen. While they were making breakfast, Liam was working on his laptop to pass the time. Suddenly, an anonymous email popped up on his screen.Liam didn't click on it immediately, instead, he kept staring at the notification as he contemplated what to do.After what seemed l
Immediately it was the official closing hours, Liam gathered his belongings and then began to head towards the exit. He was already placing his ID card on the sensor when Mr. Jones walked up to him. “Are you leaving already?” “Yeah, is there an issue?” He was searching his face for an answer but he didn't give any expression away. “I'm sorry for indulging you during your leave period. You can decide when you next want to go on a leave and I will grant it.” “Yes sir, thank you.” He replied with a little bow. He wanted to give the file containing the decrypted message to him so he would pass it to his mother but on a second thought, he held onto it like it was his second skin. He was already stepping out of the building when he turned around and then began to run after him until he got to where he stood. “Sorry to bother you, please pass this to my mother.” He said, pushing the envelope into his hand. “I will.” Liam was about to say something else but his ringing phone interrupt
Laughing, Nathan titled his head to the back, causing several pairs of eyes to turn in his direction. All the while, Liam was trying to find the perfect time to accost him for his attempted murder but he had to restrict himself. He didn't want to do anything that would make his mother mad at him. While they were still talking, his phone beeped, it was a message from his mother. 'I received the message. Alaric is on your tail now.’ Blinking his eyes rapidly, Liam tried to remember who was named Alaric and why he was after him. At this point, he began to wish he didn't agree to help Naya. At least, matters like this wouldn't be arising and he would be living happily with Rose. He was at the verge of yelling out his lungs when Nathan said, “Allow him, we should stop restricting him from getting involved in the family affairs. Moreover,he just said he is a man and can handle stuff on his own.” He rapped, rolling his eyes at him. “It's time you guys stop the hate. Liam hasn't done a
