A few days later…Liam was busy trying to come up with the proposal for the project he had to submit the next meeting which is the next day when Alaric barged into his office. Feigning not to have an idea of his presence, Liam continued what he was doing only for Alaric to lean over the table, causing him to raise his head. “What do you want?” Liam huffed, tilting his head to the side as he drummed his fingers against the table. “I had no idea that the president could fall for your tricks.” He laughed, hitting his hands together. “I'm so surprised that at first I thought he was giving you accolades only to discover he shared that with me out of pain.” He shrugged, smacking his lips. “Not going to lie, you are a genius.” He wanted to go on but Liam was too busy to give him the audience which he wanted. Crossing his hand on the table with his gaze fixated on him, he said, “I don't think you came here to ask how I managed to trick your boss.” He huffed. Leaning even more closely n
Unlike the previous times when Karl would go around in circles before stating the reason for his invitation, he went straight to the point. He scrunched up his already wrinkled face in anger as he pointed his middle finger at Liam who wore a calm expression. “Are you seriously taking my leniency for granted?” He yelled at Liam who was unfazed with all of his drama. “You never had Nolan in your custody, why then did you decide to pull that trick? Are you trying to make fun of my old age?” He yelled again and this time around, he sent his fist into the chair he was occupying. Making him even more furious, Liam didn't say anything as he watched him pace around, trying to get a grip of himself. Just when he wanted to start a round of his ranting, Liam cleared his throat and at once he shifted his gaze to him, his brows creased as he urged him to speak with his eyes.“Kaylan is innocent. I couldn't allow you to shed innocent blood.” Liam said with his hands folded in front of him. Hi
It was barely twenty four hours after Liam's last meeting with Karl's yet he had done the first thing he had in mind. The company was in a state of disarray as the board of directors and shareholders all headed towards the boardroom for an emergency meeting. They all had words on their lips as they made their way to their destinations and the look on their faces showed that they were furious. Not just only furious, they were frustrated and tired of everything that was going on. While they were shouting and talking on the top of their voices, Martin tried to calm them down but they were too angry to listen to him. It was like Martins was pouring water on a hard rock which showed no signs of melting. Before they calmed down to listen to what Martin had to say to them, it was already an hour past. “We don't need a recap of whatever is happening, all we need is a solution. You have to provide a solution so we can move forward.” Raymond yelled from the end of the hall, followed by T
At the end of the call with Liam, Karl shifted his gaze to Alaric who was still smirking and then fell into his seat. “You should call your brother to his senses. He doesn't listen and just like the stubborn fly who refused to be cautioned, he is going to find himself in a grave with the corpse.” He muttered. Alaric still didn't say a word. He was furious and the only way he could contain his anger was to remain mute or else he was going to yell at Karl and they might even get engaged in a scuffle. “Why did you decide to attack the company? It's not as if Liam owns the place.” Alaric said through gritted teeth. “It is a family business for crying out aloud. The family is unaware of your dealings but you decided to put them into the mess Liam has created.” He huffed. “You shouldn't be overreacting. I understand how you feel and if I was in your place, I would react exactly the same way too but at the same time you should try to think out of the box.” Now with a grave voice, he l
"We did it." One of the surgeons whispered to the others who were wearing smiles on their faces. They were glad, because the success meant that other victims could be saved. "What kind of object could we call that other than a chip?" The closest surgeon mumbled. Being a part of the surgeons, Harrison asked, "How is it going?" He was standing by the doorstep. "We were able to remove the chip from him." Sam was still numb, his legs curving in between each other. Immediately the chip got out of him, his sleeping posture changed, which didn't surprise the surgeons. A knock was heard and at once Harrison hurried towards the door to find out who it was. "The operation is still on…" "Since we've been able to remove the chip, we should take him to the ward.” The first surgeon said, clearing the operation knives and putting them aside. "I think we can go on with the other victims." He added. "Aren't they here?" The senior surgeon asked, suddenly interrupted by the voice that came throu
Liam sat back in his seat, feeling a sense of numbness after Alaric left. He had never thought that a former enemy would want to join them even though that was what he wanted. The vibrations of his phone on the table drew him back from his thinking.Madam Aurelia was on the line. “Liam, have you managed to contact Alaric?” she asked, though her tone remained calm, it showed that she was worried.“Yes, he’s willing to surrender.” Liam answered, wishing he could mask the thrill in his voice. “He wishes to help us in taking down Karl.”“Are you sure he is reliable?” She asked as her maternal instincts kicked in. “He has been under Karl for quite some time. Back in the era of soap operas, would this not be another of his schemes.”“I do trust him, Mother.” Said Liam, with convincing firmness. “Karl had used him, same as how Sam was used. He understands who is in power, the evil we are against, and he wishes to change that. This could be it.”Madam Aurelia exhaled heavily. “I want to bel
The warehouse was unnaturally peaceful – the only sound was the faint wails of sirens in the quiet night. Liam knelt next to Harrison’s still body. He felt as if the world was spinning and for that brief second, the earth below him seemed to have disappeared.“No… no… no…” he said as he moved his head sideways in denial. “Harrison! Please stay with me!” Dave decided to kneel down beside him and began crying. With every passing second, the reality of the situation grew more intense, more agonizing. “Liam, we need to go, there is no way we can remain here.” He coaxed, her voice cracking.Liam’s heart pounded in his ears as his gaze swept around, knowing well that Xavier and his men were still hovering about. “I can’t leave him like this, he does not deserve this.” A raw wave of anger and grief took hold of his voice.“Liam!” Dave held him by the arm and attempted to pull him. “We will make sure he gets the justice he deserves, but can we please make it out alive. We can’t allow their
The air in the boardroom was thick with tension as the stakeholders settled in for what was thought to be a simple meeting. There were anxious low voices, some looking at the time, and the order of the day remained dormant on the bright table. All were nervous because the very survival of the business was at stake. But no one anticipated how unexpected things would become.The imposing doors opened and made way for Daniel, clothed in commander’s grease – that figure. The very moment he walked in, all the din that filled the room ceased. There was horror and disbelief in the gazes of many, and soft gasps rolled around the mass.“Daniel?” Liam asked in shock and fury as he stood up. “What are you doing here?”“Why do you think I am here?” Daniel asked, his voice calm but laced with contempt. “Don’t you know that I came to visit my son and to see the mess he created?”Liam balled his hands into fists and stifled the wave of emotion threatening to tangle him. “Get out. You have caused
