THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Confrontation
Without wasting any time, Liam swiped on his phone, and pictures of Peter Carpi at secret deals with Manu Salerno were revealed, together with their recent conversation about the $5 million loan.This sent a shockwave through the crowd. Everyone turned their gaze toward Victor with a deep frown settled on their faces. Victor was shaking with fear, slowly retracing his steps away from the crowd. His face flushed with disgrace, but he tried to hide it and started sneering, “It’s a lie! It’s all a lie!”.“Can’t you all see what he’s trying to do here? My family is reputable and this man has been trying to ruin our reputation for a long time. Who knows where he dug up this fabricated lie!” Victor yelled desperately, shifting his gaze across the room.He thought he’d be able to gain support from the crowd, but this time, no one believed him. They all watched him sternly, and at that point, he could see that his denial was not getting to anyone.Feeling defeated, his face turned red with
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Legal Binding
After Victor’s humiliation at the Gala and her encounter with Peter Nelson and Liam, Mia became increasingly restless about Liam’s involvement in all of this.The media had already picked up the news and the topic of Victor’s humiliation was circulating like wildfire across town. Mia walked down the staircase that morning and could already see Yona and Carl with Lord David. Immediately she could tell something was going on and curiously, she strode towards them. When Yona spotted her, her demeanor quickly changed, “Are you happy Mia?” She started angrily.“Thanks to your terrible choice, our family is under heat now.”Mia’s eyes narrowed in confusion. The day had barely begun and already her sister was blasting her with derogatory accusations.“What’s going on?” Mia asked softly, maintaining her calm as she entered the room. Yona rolled her eyes in disbelief and continued, “You haven’t seen the news?” Mia shot her a blank look, and Yona’s irritation grew: "We are under fire for ou
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Prenuptial Precautions
Lord David remained quiet for a while, contemplating what Carl had said. He was not sure what to do, Liam had raised his suspicions more and more, and even though he was Shawn’s grandson, Lord David could not help but feel a trace of doubt about him now.“I know you want to believe Liam isn’t a problem, we all do, but this is mostly to protect Mia.”When Carl said Mia’s name, Lord David’s brows arched with intrigue, but before he could say anything, Carl quickly added, “When they do separate, he’s going to want to take her down with him. Having seen how he’s been lately, I have a feeling he’ll drag her to many court cases, stir up rumors and whatever he can say to get attention and that whole process is going to eat Mia up mentally.”“We’ve already seen how fast rumors can spread with this Victor thing, let’s not give the media something more to talk about by creating a public divorce drama. For Mia.” Carl said, faking an air of concern. Despite their look of concern, Carl and Yona h
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Mia's Fall
Liam’s response took the family by surprise. Mia’s gaze shifted quickly towards him, confused by his willing participation. She’d expected he’d put up a little fight, but upon seeing how willing he was to go along with this, she felt disappointed and worried. Did he not want to be with her? Was he rejecting her?She had never been in a position where she was rejected by a man, and Liam had just casually turned down an opportunity to be entitled to millions of dollars by refusing her. Yona on the other hand was beyond thrilled. Without any thought, she grabbed the documents from Carl and handed them to Liam,“Just sign your initials here, and here.” Liam clicked the pen, shifted his gaze one more time towards Mia, then drew a deep breath and signed his name across the document. However, before he handed it over to Lord David, he stopped, staring at him intently,“You all think I’m the problem, but I promise you I’m not the one you should be worrying about.” He started.“What are you
THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Private Investigator
“It’s true?!” Yona exclaimed in shock and suddenly started laughing. “Well, well, would you look at that? After spending much time rejecting him and not wanting this marriage, you finally fall when it’s too late to do anything about it. Amusing!” Yona chided.Mia creased her brows in annoyance. She wanted to say something and deny Yona’s claims, but she could not find the words. Yona was right. She could not tell exactly when or how, but she’d fallen for Liam, and now it wasn’t that easy to let go of him.“Come on Sis, you can do better. Don’t let that pathetic loser ruin our victory here today.” She paused, matching Mia’s confused gaze with an excited look,“Liam is gone!” Yona exclaimed, “We won’t have to ever deal with that loser again. With those documents he signed, we are not just rid of him, but free too, knowing he won’t try to use this separation to steal from us.”Mia remained frozen in place for a little while, and then shook her head and walked out. Yona and Carl were mo
THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Coincidental Meeting
“Who would that be and do you have any relationship to this person, any information that could help me in my investigation?” Marcus asked.Lord David remained quiet, giving it one more thought. Finally, he threw caution to the wind and said, “His name is Liam Maron, and he’s my son-in-law.” Lord David announced.Marcus remained quiet for a moment as if the name had struck a familiar chord, “I’ll let you know what I find.” He said and ended the call. Meanwhile, shortly after Mia returned to her room, her phone chimed with a notification. She retrieved the phone and as soon as she glanced at the screen, her hand weakend immediately.As she stared at the screen, she could see a large number of different accounts all tied to her family’s business. Accounts that she was not aware of.Slowly, she picked up the phone and started scrolling through the messages again. Suddenly she paused when she noticed a familiar name, and as she zoomed into it, her eyes flashed with horror. It was exactly
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Cecile
“Mia?” A familiar voice filtered softly into her ear. Mia turned around and her eyes widened at the sight of the woman. A tall beautiful woman with black hair stood behind her and waved.Her name was Cecile Thompson, Mia’s old classmate. She was the school’s reporter when they were still in college and Mia and her always had a close friendship, but after Cecile’s boyfriend broke up with her and started going out with Mia, their relationship quickly ended. After four years, they were finally meeting again for the first time. Although nervous at first, Mia was even more surprised that Cecile had agreed to meet in the first place. However, she did not expect to see such a stunning figure. Over the years, Cecile had transformed her look, dyed her hair black, and straightened it, even though the auburn curls still looked good on her.The last time Mia saw her was at a benefit thrown to raise awareness towards gentrification of some local neighborhoods in the city. Mia hid when she saw C
THE VENGEFUL HEIR He’s My Ex-Husband
Mia cleared her throat again, contemplating if she could trust Cecile with any of these. Even though they had a very close and personal relationship back on campus, it had been four years since then, and for all she knew this could have all just been an act and Cecile was not the same trusty person she’d always known her to be.Seeing her reluctance, Cecile’s gaze deepened. “I understand this may be quite serious before you’d decide to come to me about it, but I am working on the clock here, so whatever it is you have to tell me or need me to do, I suggest we get to it quickly.”Mia lifted her gaze and heaved a sigh. If she wanted to find out what was going on in her family, especially with her mother, maybe she just had to learn to trust Cecile again.With that, she grabbed her purse and pulled out a small folder, placing it on the table.Cecile stared at her hesitantly, and asked, arching her brows, “What’s this?”“I was hoping you’d tell me,” Mia answered. Slowly, Cecile reached f

Peter’s Monsters
Meanwhile after Peter left Moran’s mansion, he was filled with a new air of confidence as he strode into his laboratory, the Morath Relic clutched tightly in his hand, its cold surface pulsing faintly against his palm. The air inside the facility smelled of chemicals, burnt metal, and something else, something old, something forgotten like it was an abandoned lair. He exhaled slowly, allowing himself a moment to savor his victory. Once again, he had clashed with the Ogini, and once again, he had walked away triumphant. But this time was different.This time, he knew he was running out of his sharp edges, and there was another potential problem, Jack. That boy was the variable he hadn’t accounted for, the unexpected force tilting the balance. If it had been just the Ogini, Peter would have already cemented his dominance. But Jack had proven to be more than a nuisance—he was a real threat. The energy inside him, the way he wielded it, the way he had managed to break through the Ogini’
In The Last Minute
Jack barely had time to react. One second, he saw Liam’s eyes flickering between red and blue, a sign of the battle raging inside him. The next, the Ogini lunged.A sharp gasp escaped Jack as a powerful hand clamped around his throat. His feet left the ground, his body hoisted effortlessly into the air. The grip was tight, crushing, cutting off his air. He clawed at Liam’s arm, kicking violently, but it was useless. The Ogini was too strong and it had gotten him right where it wanted.A cold smirk spread across The Ogini’s lips. His eyes digging deep into Jack’s as if trying to capture his very soul.Jack’s vision blurred at the edges, his lungs burning. His body thrashed, instinct screaming at him to fight, but his strength was fading fast. The Ogini tilted its head slightly, eyes glowing with eerie amusement as it studied him like a toy that was about to break.“You’ve been quite the nuisance,” the Ogini murmured, its voice smooth yet sharp, layered with something ancient and cruel.

Fight For Control
Peter’s car had disappeared into the night, the taillights vanishing in the darkness, but the air still hummed with the aftershock of their battle—cracked pavement, scattered bodies, and the lingering charge of power that had yet to fade. But Liam wasn’t focused on any of it.His fingers curled tighter around the Zuri blade, its energy still alive in his grasp. His breath was heavy, his body rigid. His chest rose and fell with the remnants of adrenaline. And then, his eyes shifted.Jack barely had a moment to process what was happening before he saw the look in Liam’s eyes. They were cold, unreadable, but filled with something unmistakably foreign. Something that ironically he had recognized. This wasn’t Liam anymore. Not entirely. The faint red glow of the Ogini flickered beneath the surface of his eyes.Jack took a slow step back, every muscle in his body tensing.“Liam?” His voice was measured, but he could hear the uncertainty creeping into it.Liam didn’t respond. Or rather—the O
The Escape
Liam’s vision darkened, fading off slowly against the dented hood of the car. Pain pulsed through every inch of him, his ribs aching from the force of the impact. He could barely move, and was barely breathing. The last thing he saw was Jack, on his knees, trembling violently, his body rejecting the energy coursing through him. Peter’s voice echoed in the distance, smug and victorious.“Time’s up, Liam.”And that was when everything changed. A sudden w surge of energy spread through his fingers. It started in his grip, where the Zuri blade was still clutched tightly in his hand, and then it spread—like fire igniting in his veins.The power of the blade roared to life, but Liam knew he wasn’t the one in control anymore. He had lost it to the Ogini. Right now, anything that happened was out of his control.A massive force erupted from Liam’s body, blasting outward like a shockwave. The elite soldier pinning him down was flung into the air, the impact of the force so great, his entire bo
Time’s Up
When Peter lifted the Morath Relic, Liam felt a sharpSting through his heart. Peter’s grip tightened around it like a man who had just seized ultimate power. The dim glow from the relic illuminated his sharp features, showing the smugness in his eyes.“Didn’t think it’d be that easy,” Peter said, his voice smooth, dripping with satisfaction. “But finally, I’ve gotten it. Now, the only thing left is that blade in your hand.”Liam’s fingers instinctively curled around the Zuri blade at his side. Its hilt was warm against his palm, pulsing slightly as if aware of the danger surrounding them. Before he could respond, Peter’s gaze drifted toward Jack.For a split second, Peter hesitated, his brow knitting together in momentary surprise. Then, a slow, sinister smirk stretched across his lips.“Hold your dog, Liam. I wouldn’t want to break him again.” Peter sneered.Jack didn’t need any more provocation, as soon as those words hit him, he was truly like a dog which was about to go free. His
Peter’s Return
Liam barely had a moment to think. Jack was filled with too much energy after being seemingly reborn. He didn’t want to waste any time. He was already too eager to test out his new powers and so strode ahead toward the car with a confidence that made Liam slightly concerned for him. He knew what new power felt like, and knew that right now, Jack was not considering the chances of him losing control or this power fighting to maintain a balance and adjust to his body.Although he had never tried something like this before, he had heard about the few times that people tried and how damaging the results turned out to be. For someone who was not born with the cultivation gift, the power could either blend with their body or destroy it, and the worst part was that there was really no way to tell. In a way, this was nature’s way of ensuring that the powers in the universe were balanced and maintained, which was why Peter’s creations were even more dangerous than they seemed. Liam lingered f
Saved... But at what Cost?
Liam gritted his teeth as he pressed his hands against Jack’s wound, willing his chi to flow into him. The energy pulsed, thick and burning, coursing through his veins like molten fire. He could feel it shifting, twisting within him, resisting just as much as it obeyed.The Ogini stirred in the depths of his chi, the ancient force lingered, waiting for a moment of weakness, any weakness he could latch on to and take control of Liam’s mind. Liam knew this was dangerous, he knew that giving too much of himself could weaken his hold over it. But Jack’s heartbeat was slowing, his breath coming in short, rattled gasps. If he didn’t finish this and soon, Jack would die.Liam forced more energy through his palms, feeling it push into Jack’s broken body, knitting flesh, mending organs, pulling him back from the brink of death. Sweat beaded at Liam’s forehead, showing the weight of the situation. His muscles ached, his vision blurred, and he could feel the pull of the Ogini growing stronger, s
Made The Choice For You
Liam’s fingers twitched at his sides, torn between his instincts and the weight of Jack’s words. The idea of having Jack by his side, healed and capable, was tempting. Since Jack got injured and then captured, he had to carry the burden and weight of their fight alone, never fully trusting that someone else could understand the fight the way he did. But Jack, he had had always been different. He understood things in a way few did.Liam exhaled slowly, his jaw tightening. Jack saw the hesitation flicker across Liam’s face and seized the moment. He reached out and grabbed Liam’s hand, gripping it tightly, his fingers pressing hard into Liam’s skin. His eyes, usually filled with mischief, were dark with frustration.“I know it’s dangerous, Liam,” Jack said, his voice low and urgent. “But so is fighting a legion of those monsters.” He paused, his chest rising and falling with each shallow breath. “You know you need me, Liam. You know I can take it.”Liam’s throat tightened. He wanted to s
