As the reporters sighted Jessica and Ashley, they rushed over to them. Suddenly, Liam started coughing violently, spitting black blood.Jessica rushed to hold Liam before he blacked out.“Liam!...!!” she screamed as she rushed to his side. She looked around for Cynthia, she saw her running towards her.“Get the car.” She said to her. Ashley tried to touch Liam.“Get your hands off him.” she said, pulling Liam closer to herself.“Hey, can you hear me?” Jessica said, shaking his body gently.When the car arrived,Jessica’s body guard assisted her in lifting Liam into the car.She took one more glance at Ashley who was glaring at her before she entered the car. The reporters kept taking pictures even after Jessica’s car left. Ashley’s driver arrived and she left angrily.-In the car“Make sure none of those pictures get out.” Jessica told Cynthia. “Yes ma” she replied.Jessica turned her attention to Liam, her brow furrowed with worry as she stared at his pale face.He winces in pain
End of flashbackLiam decided to go to where he saw in his vision, he had a score to settle with the so-called dragon head. He knew he would get his answers there.Just then, two cars stopped beside him. Five huge men came out of the vehicle holding guns and daggersThe man who seemed like their leader did not get down from the car, he was leaning out of the passenger seat lazily.“Liam Miller?” he asked.“Yes, and you are?” Liam asked curiously. Who are these people?He thought to himself.Before the man who looked like the leader could answer, one of his men responded. “This is Theodore of sykeon, can’t you see?” he cried.“So?” Liam replied.“How can you be so disrespectful?”another men exclaimed“Is he someone powerful?” Liam asked again.“I'll knock you senseless!” one of the hooligans said.Liam snorted, how outrageous are these people?“Stop!!” Theodore said, He turned to Liam. “You've got some guts, usually people beg for mercy. If you kneel down and beg me, I might decide to
“Why is he still alive?” Gabriel thought to himself. He looks like a different person entirely, he was not the calm looking nerd guy. Liam without sparing him a glance went into the club.Gabriel knuckles turned white. “Fuck!” he muttered to himself.-Liam made his way to the executive suites, where there were about five guards standing at the door, he figured Asher will be inside. As he got to the door, one guard stopped him.“Stop right there, what are you looking for?”“Asher Miller.” he said bitterly“Name?” The guard asked.“Tell him his brother is here.” Liam said.He glanced at him before entering the suit to inform Asher. When he entered, Asher looked up from the document before him. “What’s wrong?”Asher hates being disturbed when working. He bows, “Dragon lord, someone called Liam Miller is here to see you.”“Liam?” He asked. His expression changed.“You all can't get anything done by yourselves!!, Bunch of fools!” he said, pushing everything on his desk on the floor.“I a
He signaled to everyone to keep quiet. “Miss matthew.”“Where the hell are you!!” Jessica said worriedly.The sect leaders were surprised at his change of tone; he picked one of the keys without checking it.“You left the hospital without receiving proper treatment and you did not go home.” she continued.“I went to the herb store, I am sorry,” he said calmly.“Come to my place immediately!” she said and hung up.Liam left hurriedly.Liam returned to Matthew's villa, when he entered there was no one in the living room so he decided to check Jessica’s office.He passed by her office and noticed a slightly opened door in the hallway.He opened the door and entered and was stunned. Jessica was trying to zip her gown, she looked up, startled, as he approached her."Need some help?" Liam asked.Jessica's cheeks flushed as she nodded, feeling a little embarrassed at being caught in such a vulnerable position. Liam stepped behind her and gently took the zipper, his fingers brushing against
Liam signed the contract.“We will have a mini wedding.” Jessica blurted out as Liam was about to stand up.“What?” surprised, Liam almost fell back to his seat.“My grandfather insisted that a small marriage must be arranged. Just me, you and him.” “Except you have anyone you would like to invite.” she continued.Liam shaked his head before answering, “I don't.” he said curlty.“Any of your parents or grandparents??” she asked her voice showing hint of concern.Liam jaw hardened, “They are all dead.” he said with no expression on his face.“I am sorry.” Jessica said apologetically. He felt a surge of heat rushed through his system again. He did not want jessica to know what was wrong with him, he decided to leave before she noticed.“It’s fine,” he said before standing up.“Miss Matthew, I have to go now.” liam said, he stood up aburtly. As he stood up to leave, a sudden surge of dark energy coursed through his veins, like a whispered warning from the shadows of themselves.“What
Liam woke up to the sound of his phone ringing, Cynthia's voice could be heard on the other end, yelling at him to wake up.“You are always sleeping! What is wrong with you?” cynthia yelled“Are you pregnant?”“Good morning.” Liam said checking the time, it was just six am.“Miss Mathew asked you to meet her at the villa in twenty minutes, it is urgent and important.” she said rudely and hung up.Liam groggily got out of bed and began his morning routine. After a quick bath, he headed to Jessica's villa, wondering what the urgency was about.When he arrived, he found Jessica in the living room with her grandfather. He greeted both of them.“Good morning sir, miss matthew.” liam said“Oh please, call me joseph.” Jessica's grandfather said.“Trust you are good joseph.” he asked “Definitely, if not you would have seen me at your doorstep.” he said and they all laughed.“Please sit.” Jessica said.“Your secretary called me this morning to ask for me.” Liam said.“Yes I did, we need to
The attendant called out, “Miss Matthew,it’s time to try out your dress.” Liam’s heart skipped a beat as Jessica stood up, he watched her movement as she moved gracefully, he couldn't wait to see her in her dress.She disappeared into the fitting room.Liam waited anxiously, wondering how she would look in her wedding dress.A few minutes later, she came out of the fitting room and Liam’s breath was caught in his throat. She looked stunning. The ivory gown hugged her curves perfectly, and the delicate lace shone in the light.Liam’s eyes widened in awe, unable to look away. Jessica’s grandfather beamed with pride,his eyes shining with happiness.“Bravo!!!!..Bravo!!!..” John exclaimed, clapping his hands.“Princess, you look breathtaking,” he said, his voice filled with emotions.“Just like your mother, true vision of beauty.” Jessica's grandfather said tearing up.Jessica’s cheeks flushed and she smiled, her eyes glowing. “Thank you pa.”Liam could not help but agree, he has never
“I have something that could change everything in your favor but you have to pay a price for it.” Valerie said.Asher wondered how fast word spread in the sect, his eyebrows arched upward.“What is it you have Valerie?”Valerie hesitated ,glancing around the room before focusing on Asher. “You are a witch, you know this place is safe.”“It is not as safe as you think Asher is.”“You have never called me Dragon lord since I took over from your master.” Asher said.“A dog can only serve one master Asher.” Valerie said.“Then how do I know that you are not planning to add to my problem, whose side are you on?” Asher asked.“I came to meet you, I am not going to involve myself in two Dragon head fights,you both have the star of kings. I can't be involved in your bloody fight.” Valerie said.“Are you still interested in what I have?” Valerie asked.“You are the only one in the sect that knows that I did not kill them.” he said barely above a whisper. “But you placed the cause on him, did
