Chapter 93Madam Aurelia was shocked beyond words that she kept staring at Liam like it was the first time she was getting to meet him.She was clearly not expecting this news and even if she ought to have an idea about it, she felt it should not be from Mr. Jones, rather it should be directly from him. Mr. Jones on the other hand was wearing a neutral expression as he waited for the phase to pass away quickly. With the way she was acting, he had detected she had no idea about Liam's marriage and so he was the whistleblower.Bending his head to the ground, he was staring hard at the floor as he constructed an apology in his head to say to Liam once they were out. As for Liam, he was fiddling with his fingers as he darted his eyes around and at the same time was thinking of the right words to say to his mom.“I have no idea until now.” Madam Aurelia said, breaking the ominous silence in the room. Chuckling nervously, Liam dug his hand into his hair. He was still thinking of what to
Chapter 94Taking the phone off her ear, Naya stared at the screen which was still on, it was like a dream to her since she wasn't expecting him to put a call across to her, not now or even in the next months. Already feeling sweaty, she rubbed her hand against her forehead, trying to contain her ragged breath. “Naya, are you still there? It's Nelson.” her brother asked since he was wondering why she had gone mute all of a sudden. Currently, he was at the phone booth in the barrack, gripping the wall and looking over his shoulder at the same time. Slowly, Naya placed the phone back against her ear as she gulped. She was trying to speak but words had refused to form no matter how hard she tried. “Are you well?” She managed to ask after a while. “Yes, I'm. How have you been?” He didn't allow her to give a response before he started speaking, “I'm sorry Naya, I haven't been able to reach out to you. Here at the barracks, we are restricted to using our phones and we can only operate
Chapter 95Stunned, Liam couldn't respond to this. He was just staring at the wall behind them as she kept kissing him with no care in the world. When she finally pulled away, she staggered backwards, pushing her hair away from her face. Chuckling like a maniac, she tried to speak but she burped, sending her words back into her throat. “I will tell you this…” she staggered forward, poking his chest with her middle finger. “Even if you keep pushing me away, I won't let you go. I'm going to make you mine, I will ensure that you love me the same way I love you.” “Fine.” He replied, raising his hand above his head. Now laughing, she wrapped her hands across her chest and after a while she fell on the couch causing Liam to rush towards her. While he was cleaning her up, he kept staring at her face. She had passed out now and so the house was quiet. “I wonder what made her excited or maybe sad for her to drink this much. Ugh! It's so embarrassing.” He muttered, shaking his head to t
Chapter 96After a few more minutes of a little talk between the three, Mr. Jones led them towards the elevator and they all got in. Instead of going upwards, the elevator went downwards, making Liam wonder where they were headed but he didn't say anything since no one else reacted to the reversal. On arrival at their destination, the door dinged and then slid open for them to step out which they did without hesitation. “To avoid publicity, I opted for an underground gym.” Mr. Jones was in front of them as he looked around the fully equipped underground gym. This wasn't the first time he was coming here and so he was familiar with every fit and fixture. Liam on the other hand was overwhelmed with the amount of equipment that was present. He had been to several gyms but this was different from others. It looked like a world class gym as it was fully equipped. They were still at the entrance of the gum when a door creaked open and a man stepped out. With a smile etched on the side
Chapter 97The next morning, Liam was still lying in bed when his phone beeped. Thinking it was a text from his mom or Mr. Jones, he quickly reached out for his phone only to toss it and then let out a grunt of frustration. The text turned out to be from his service provider and he didn't even bother to read through it since he was pissed. Shutting his eyes tightly, he cranked his head to he side before taking his back off the bed. With his legs now on the fluffy rug that covered the floor of his room, he bent his head and then began to study the patterns that were spread out. While doing this, the only thing that was ringing in his head was the mission. He had trained for the physical part of the mission but not the technical part that involves his skills. He felt he should at least have a hint of what to expect and then he would be able to prepare adequately for it but no one said a word concerning it leaving him perturbed. Since this was somewhat like a national mission, he di
Chapter 98When Liam arrived at the family mansion, the first person he came across was Nathan who was on his way out. Immediately Nathan realized he was the one approaching him, he halted and with his hands wrapped across his chest, said, “I thought you wanted to move, what are you still doing here?” “I want to thank granny for granting my wish.” Liam replied with a smirk, watching the blood on Nathan's face drying up at his words. “Okay.” He nodded and then stepped aside, creating room for passage. Just when Liam was about to grab the handle of the door, he cleared his throat to get his attention and immediately he got it, with a hoarse voice, he said, “According to Naya, you guys are moving into a duplex of high taste, how were you able to get the money.” “I worked my ass off.” He didn't wait to hear more of his talks, instead he pushed the door in, ushering himself into the living room. Fortunately for him, he didn't have to request Granny Elena's presence since she was in t
Chapter 99Pressing his lips tightly together into a thin line, Liam shook his head sideways before attempting to wriggle from her grip but surprisingly, her grip was strong on him. “Get off already.” He chided but she didn't let go of his hand, rather, she pulled herself up, smiling like she just won a lottery.“Why do you keep pushing me away?” She groaned and then burped. “You're drunk, please get some rest.” He tried to make her lie on the bed but she wouldn't agree. She kept on leaning towards him until their skin was brushing against the other. “Please… stop pushing me away, it hurts.” She groaned. Staring down at her, Liam pushed his free hand into his hair and then let out a low grunt of frustration. With Lily, it was different since he had invested his time and everything he had in him into their three years relationship only to get heartbroken. Being intimate with her back then wasn't a hassle. Whenever she initiated it, he always responded to it but with Naya it was d
Chapter 100Now seated behind a table in the cafeteria for dinner, Liam, who had been pondering on how Dave was able to come up with an idea on how to crush their opponent was picking on his food as he cast Dave frequent stares. When he couldn't keep his question to himself anymore, he leaned forward and with his hands clasped in front of him, asked, “Is there something I need to know?”“I already said I was a black hat hacker, I wasn't bluffing.” Dave replied, not bothering to take his eyes off his plate of food. Deep down, he was mad at himself for being unable to keep his identity a secret. He never wanted anyone to know about his hacking skills but since the situation needed it, he had no choice but to help. “Whoa! I thought you were bluffing back there.” Sam chuckled lightly. Suddenly, he pushed his hand forward and with a grin plastered on his face, he said, “You guys are cool. I'm the only one who isn't cool here.” He said the last part with a huff and then pushed a piece of
