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
As they entered the office building, Jessica told Cynthia to see her in her office. Liam swung open the heavy glass door, holding it for Jessica and Cynthai as they passed through.Jessica walked through the revolving doors, greeting the security guards with a smile. She led the way while Liam and Cynthia followed her closely.They stepped into the private elevator, Liam pressed the button for the 56th floor.The door closed, and the elevator lurched upward, carrying them to the top floor where their offices are.The elevator’s door opens with a soft chime. Jessica headed to her office, while Liam and Cynthia and Liam went to theirs.Jessica pressed the com button, connecting her to cynthai’s desk “cynthia,please report to my office.”Cynthia stood up from her desk, responding to Jessica summoning her heels clicking the office floor.After a brief knock, she opened the door and entered.“You asked for me ma.” she said as she entered.Jessica raised her eyes from the newspaper she bur
Entering his office, Liam’s mind is still bewildered from Dere's words. Dere's knowledge about his grandfather's death being linked to Asher had left him stunned. No one knew the truth behind that fateful night except himself and Asher. The weight of Dere's words hung heavy on Liam’s heart.As Liam struggled to process the enormity of it all, a knock at the door brought him back from his thoughts.“Knock knock.”"Come in," Liam called out calmly.The door opened, and Cynthia entered. "Mr Miller,” Cynthia said politely.Liam was surprised about her tone, this is the first time she is addressing him politely. Her expression detached. "Miss Mathhew wants to see you in her office right away."Liam looked at her eyes, sensing a hint of disdain in Cynthia's tone. He nodded, rising from his chair."Any idea what it's about?" Liam asked, curiosity sparking.Cynthia's gaze was icy. "No. Just don't keep her waiting." she said before leaving.Liam noticed a subtle jab in her words but ignored

Liam picked up, his voice firm.Liam miller speaking.” he said“It is me, Liam,” Dere said.“Have you thought it through?” he asked.“We need you to attend the meeting . We must discuss Asher's... indiscretions."Liam's response was immediate. “I already told you my response and it still stands.”“Have a nice day.” Liam said.“The only way to avenge your grandfather is to take his title from the one who killed him.” Dere said.There was a long pause before Liam responded.“I am at work, I will call you when I clock out.” Liam said sternly and ended the call.Derek's face twisted into a scowl. "Refusing my summons? Foolish boy!" He snarled, slamming his fist on the table.immediately, Derek summoned Victor, his most trusted warrior.“Who is there?!” he roared.A young warrior entered immediately, Dere tried to keep his cool.“Call me Victor right now!” he said, the guard hurriedly left the room to fetc
