Standing side by side were Xavier and Liam who were looking at the large water body below them.Occasionally, Xavier would throw a twig inside the water and watch it swallow it up like it was nothing. “Why did you bring me here?” Liam asked, breaking the silence. “Because we are friends.” Xavier replied, smacking his lips. Now resting his back against the steel that was used in creating a barricade, he wrapped his hand across his chest. “Just like Cornel, I was jealous of you. Not going to lie, if I was in Cornel’s shoes when I met you, still blinded with jealousy, I would have done the same.” “You don't need to tell me, it was all over you.” Liam chuckled. “Well, that’s all in the past now.” He shrugged. “When I decided to study you carefully, that was when I learnt that you weren't who they always portrayed to be but it was hard to admit it.” He shrugged. “By any chance, are you hitting on me?” Liam asked and at once his eyes widened in surprise. It was as if he was going to
Chapter 166Fiddling with his finger like a child who was caught stealing cookies, Dave kept staring at the picture Liam was staring at.The more he stared at it, the angrier he became. “Who are these? They look identical, are they twins, or friends?” Liam asked, staring at him as he used his eyes to probe for answers. “That is my brother and I.” He muttered. Stunned, Liam adjusted on his seat as he tried to wrap his head around what he had just heard. The person Dave claimed he was, was entirely different from his current look and so Liam was wondering how possible it was. Shaking his head sideways, he huffed, “Man, if you insist on keeping your true identity of yourself, I'm sorry I wouldn't be able to work with you anymore.” Liam was pissed now. He hated the fact that Dave kept lying to him like he was a kid. “I'm not telling a lie.” Dave said with a low tone. After a brief silence, he turned towards Liam, and his eyes reddened with anger. This was the first time Liam was s
The following day at work, Liam was heading to his office when a janitor rushed towards him and then grabbed his hand.“I'm sorry, I was among the people who felt you needed to be thrown out of the company for trying to sell out information.” She grabbed his hand.“It's fine, if the place was changed, I will act exactly like you did.” Liam said, patting her shoulder.She kept on apologizing and when Liam couldn't bear it anymore, he pulled away from her and then hurried towards his office.He had barely settled on his seat when Xavier walked up to him with some files and then placed them on his ta
Fully aware that Alaric had found something about him, Dave nodded, giving him a go ahead.Pulling out a file from his briefcase, Giovanni, placed it on the table while Alaric ran his fingers on the edges.Smirking, he tilted his head, with a smile on his lips as he stared at Dave whose heart was slamming against his chest in quick succession.Even though he was expecting this to happen, Dave was getting scared with each passing minute but somehow, he managed to keep his cool while Alaric on his part kept teasing him.After thinking about this over and over again, he strongly believed Dave was the same person he knew several years a
Alaric had been unable to get his mind off the conversation he had with Dave. It was as if he was going to come to him the next minute and so, he was a bit scared.At the moment, he was standing behind the large window in his home, a glass of wine in his hand as he stared out of the window.“If I don't do anything, I will end up being a victim.” He smacked his lips as he swirled the content of his glass.He was still in this position when Giovanni walked up to him and after a little bow, he straightened up.“Sir, we have been unable to track Banchi, it seems like he has disappeared from the surface of t
Smiling, Liam gripped the pen he was holding tightly. He was about to fist pump the air in excitement when Xavier leaned over his table, startling him in the process.Groaning, he muttered, “Man, you scare me.”“Just like you're scaring me.” He huffed with an eye roll.“What is amusing you? Seems you have something interesting to say to me, I'm listening.” He placed his hand under his chin, staring at him like he was studying a specimen.“Nothing! You're breaking the rule though.”“Huh!” He huff
It was now two days since Liam set his eyes on Dave and so he was worried.Several times, he tried reaching him on the phone but the lines never connected, hence increasing his worry.Pacing about in his room, the door flung open suddenly and Naya walked in, followed by Rose. They both wore a worried look making him wonder what the issue was.“Where is Dave?” Rose was the first to break the silence as she walked up to him, her hands folded across her chest.“I have no idea either, I have been trying to reach him but no success.” Liam replied, pressing his lips together into a thin line. He was fru
It wasn't up to five minutes after he left when Xavier walked in.“Hey, my instincts are always right.” He applauded himself as he hurried towards Liam who looked confused.“What is going on?” He asked. Looking around with his hands tucked in his pockets, he asked, “Where is Dave? It had been ages since I last set my eyes on him.” He muttered.“Same here.”His response made Xavier's mouth drop open in shock. For some reason he felt it was weird to hear that from Liam.“I honestly can't believe y
