It was time for breakfast, yet, Naya was nowhere to be found. Rose was the first to go fetch her but when she refused to come with her, Liam decided to fetch her himself. Fully dressed for work, Naya stepped out of the room, almost bumping into Liam who was standing behind her door. “Hey, is anything the problem? Please tell me so we can fix it.” “There is no problem, I just want to be left alone.” She replied, forcing a smile at him. “Left alone? There must be a reason.” He pressed on. Her claim was unbelievable and he was determined to find out what exactly the issue is. “Then find the reason.” Brushing past him, she began to head towards the stairs while he stood with his hands resting on his waist, watching her. “What is Alaric cooking this time around?” He muttered. When he couldn't think of anything, he shook his head sideways only to start trailing after her. Naya's heels which clicked the tiles attracted Rose and Dave who were on the table and at once, they turned in h
Grabbing his head with a scowl on his face, Liam snapped, “You did that on purpose right?” He was rubbing his forehead to reduce the swelling.Feigning not to have an idea of what had happened, Dave pushed his free hand forward, “I kept telling you to strap your seatbelt but you wouldn't listen.” “If you have lost a tooth now… you should learn how to make use of your belt.” He smirked, watching Liam do like he had instructed with a frown on his face. Still smirking, he began to tap his fingers on the steering wheel while Liam gloated, casting him angry looks. “I asked a question and I’m not letting it slide until you tell me what I need to know.” Liam snarled, swirling his chair in the opposite direction. They were currently at his office. “What do you want to know? My personal life is none of your business.” Folding his hand on his chest, he titled his head to the side, “What if we are items, what are you going to do?” He leaned over the table. Pushing his chair backwards, Liam
Adding more sugar to his coffee, Sam had his gaze on Silvan who was occupying the couch in his office. “You can make a cup for yourself.” He said, returning to his swivel chair. “No, thanks, I was asked to steer away from caffeine, it makes it difficult for me to sleep.” Silvan replied with a little smile tugging the side of his lips. Sipping from his mug, Sam kept staring at Silvan. “It seems something interesting is scribbled on my forehead.” Silvan said, staring at the screen of his phone. Sam’s incessant stares made him uncomfortable. “Not at all.” He paused, leaving his mug on the table. With his hands clasped in front of him, he leaned forward, “I was just wondering why it happened out of the blue, you know.” He leaned back into his seat, drumming his fingers against his table. “Come on Silvan, don't you think you're going too far with this.” This time around, Sam was on his feet with his hands resting on his waist. Ever since Naya relayed the message of Liam's possible b
Immediately the clock chimed five pm, Dave pulled up in the Ornery's family garage. Looking over his shoulder, he saw Liam drumming his fingers on his thigh. “Are you scared?” He asked, leaning over the seat. “Yeah! I feel like I’m not adequately prepared to face them, especially when Naya isn't on my side.” He exhaled. “This is going to be the first time we are meeting in her family house at loggerheads.” He muttered, darting his eyes around. Dave was about to give a response when his eyes fell on Silvan making his way out of his car. “Silvan Hayden is here too.” He announced and at once Liam craned his neck in the direction he was staring at.Pushing his door open, he stepped out of the car, making his way to him like he was going for a fight. “Hey, here you are.” Silvan waved the moment his eyes fell on him. Liam was about to lash out on him when Naya appeared in front of him, “You should come with me now. I don't want Granny to be more upset with you.” She held his hand, pul
Boiling with rage, Silvan stormed out of the building, his fists clenched as Granny Elena’s last words kept ringing in his ear, making him livid even more. Getting to his car, he slipped in. “Sir…” “Take me to the office.” He snapped at his driver who immediately strapped his seatbelt and soon they were out of the premises. Walking Liam to the garage was Sam, grinning from side to side. “Are you certain you don't need to see a doctor? Back there, it was as if you were losing blood.” Naya said, nudging his side. “Why didn't you tell me about this?” Liam snapped, halting suddenly. “Ugh! I almost lost my sanity back there not knowing it was just a show.” Liam yelled, grabbing his head with both hands. “I need to teach Silvan a lesson and the only way I could do that was putting up this act. Next time he won't try this move.” Naya said, pushing her hair away from her face. Holding his hand, she gave it a gentle squeeze. “I'm sorry for doubting you earlier. I allowed my emotions
With her hands strapped across her chest, Rose began to head towards the stairs immediately as Naya walked through the door.Knowing fully well that it was her action that caused that reaction, Naya didn't waste time in rushing to meet with her. “Hey,” She said in a friendly manner, flashing her a coy smile but Rose didn't return it, instead she rolled her eyes at her and then tried to storm off again. “I'm sorry, okay. I didn't mean to treat you that way.” Naya said with a frustrated tone. Pushing her hair away from her face she cleared her throat and then continued speaking, “The truth is, I had no idea it was a manipulation from the onset.” “Can you listen to yourself speak?” Rose asked and then went ahead to mimic what she had said, her hands still crossed across her chest. “Just a little misunderstanding, you went overboard, ignoring everyone like we ganged up against you.” She sucked her teeth, rolling her eyes in disgust.“I rectified my error. When Granny pointed it out to
Dave had just ended a meeting with a team when he received a call from Alaric. Thinking he wanted to start his usual rants, he refused to pick his call until Alaric had no choice but to drop by in his office. “Are you ignoring me now? Don't tell me you regard me irrelevant now.” He huffed, leaning against the table. “What do you want?”“Silvan is here to see you.” He smirked, looking over his shoulder. “In between, is something going on between you two, these days, you are meeting a bit too frequently and I can't regard it as a coincidence anymore.” He added. “You know what is going on, quit acting like a novice.” Liam slammed back at him. Hitting his forehead with his palm, Alaric bit his lower lips, “I keep disregarding Nathan's words, I’m no match for you and no matter how much I try, I can't beat you.” “Why don't you quit trying to make yourself relevant when you already are and focus on building the company with me.” Liam said, locking eyes with Alaric who was clearly not ex
Xavier kept staring at Silvan who was hurrying towards the exit like he was being chased by a demon. Shaking his head sideways, he made his way towards the table Liam was occupying, plopping on the seat opposite him. “What's up with you these days?” Xavier asked, sipping Silvan’s abandoned juice. “I thought you resigned, haven't been seeing you around.” Liam muttered with a little chuckle. “I have been so busy these days, running up and down so I will get promoted or even transferred to the next level. It sucks working under my supervisor.” He said with an eye roll. A few minutes went by with no words exchanged. “Well, I dropped by your office before tracing you here, not going to lie, I smell something fishy.” Looking around to ascertain no one was looking at them, he leaned forward, “There was a suspicious movement, I don't know what it is about, I don't feel good about it.” “Thanks for the head ups.” Liam raised his thumb at him. “You haven't installed the CCTV camera yet.
