THE VENGEFUL HEIR Confusion at The Banquet
Author’s POVThe whole place went quiet as soon as Liam’s name was announced. Mia gasped, covering her mouth in shock, watching Liam slowly stand up and head to the stage.“There must be some mistake,” she uttered in denial.It was easier to believe that Liam had been lying this whole time and that there was some mistake somewhere than to believe that he was the divine doctor and that this entire event was to honor him.However, she was not alone in her thinking. Everyone watched silently, their faces tinged with disbelief and confusion as Liam took the stage.The more they all stared at Liam, the harder it was to accept that he was the divine doctor who cured Natalie. Liam looked too young to be such an excellent divine doctor. From Michael Young’s announcement, it was clear that he had exhausted all options of curing his daughter and this divine doctor was his last and only hope.Could it be true?Could Liam be the doctor who cured her?Meanwhile, Victor had remained frozen in his
THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Wrong One To Mess With
Author’s POVAfter Will’s efforts to defame Liam and Michael Young, hoping to stir up some of the elites in the group, thereby creating doubts in their minds about any present or future partnerships or business with the Young family, and as such get them to side with him, the tensed atmosphere had slowly died down, but Will was still basking in self-gratification, certain that he had stirred some doubts in the minds of the other elite families.However, at this time he suddenly noticed Mia in the crowd and was immediately smitten by her beauty.Gathering himself, he slowly approached her with a lewd smile, tapping her gently on the shoulder,“Pardon me, I couldn’t help seeing how beautiful you are. Would you mind joining me for a drink?” Will uttered.Mia took a glance at him and was immediately irritated. This was the same man who had just tried to defame Liam a few minutes ago, and now he was asking her for a drink. No way!Her brows creased into a frown as she shook her head, “I’m
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Will Strikes Back
Liam seemed even more confused over what Mia was talking about. However, he chose not to question. At this point, he wanted to get out of here, away from all the chaos and crowd. But just then, a loud cheer erupted from the crowd. “Thank you for saving President Young’s daughter.” One man said.“You must be very good at what you do for President Young to trust you with her daughter’s life.” Another man toasted.“Didn’t you hear? He’s just a puppet. He’s not the divine healer. He’s way too young to have the experience it takes. He’s just a fraud.” Another person interjected with a sneer.“I heard one needs to attend medical and healing school for at least twenty-five years to have this skill level. He’s definitely not the one that cured President Young’s daughter.” A middle-aged woman with blonde hair and heavy makeup interjected coldly.Liam just stood quietly, refusing to acknowledge or refute their claims. It made no difference if anyone believed him or not to be the healer. There
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Will's Proposal
Victor panicked when he realized who Will was. He feared he had just dug his grave with his own hands. He could not imagine what would happen if he could not fix this situation with Will.He stepped forward cautiously, feet dragging on the ground, and said politely with an ingratiating smile, “We don’t have to do this Mr. Salerno. My father has a good relationship with your family. Let’s not let a little misunderstanding destroy everything we’ve built together.”His eyes flashed with panic as he stared at Will, hoping that his words would somehow convince the man to back away.However, Will was not going to make it any easier for him. He clenched his fists and took a step forward, staring directly at Victor, “You think that it matters if our families are on good terms or not?” He sneered.“We are the largest and most powerful mafia family in the city, Victor. We are feared by the most elite families in this city. Compared to them, your family is like ants. You’re nothing to us, and yo
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Liam's Attack
As soon as those words fell, Mia’s eyes widened in shock. If she had any idea that the man was going to ask her that, she never would have offered to help. She shifted her gaze to Victor, hoping he’d be able to help her out of this situation, but Victor remained quiet, looking straight ahead.At this point, Mia was in great despair as she finally realized that even her family meant nothing to the Salerno’s.With that realization, she was filled with horror, not sure what was going to happen now. She knew Will wouldn’t take no for an answer, not this time around.When Will saw her hesitancy, he could already tell what her response was going to be, so he slowly turned around, staring triumphantly at Victor who shot his gaze away the whole time.“Looks like you won’t be coming to her rescue this time Victor, I wonder why that is,” Will said and chuckled mockingly as Victor stood helpless.He then turned towards Mia and snapped his fingers, ordering his men, “Take her, she’s coming with
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Dead Man Walking
Liam turned slowly, facing Will. If only the pompous bastard knew who he truly was, he would know that his family’s influence and power were not even close to a fraction of the power he held.To him, the Salerno family were mere street thugs whom he could easily control.With this, he walked towards Will who kept sneering and pouring threats at him and without any hesitation, kicked him several times, including a kick to his crotch, tired of hearing the man’s irritating voice.Will screamed in pain, cupping his crotch, and immediately went quiet.Everyone who saw this froze in fear, terrified of the consequences of Liam’s actions. The mad acted like he was either mad or had a death wish. “Won’t you divorce him now?!” Victor’s voice echoed, “He’s clearly gone mad! And he’s going to take you and your family down with him except you end this now.” He added, trying to convince Mia, who seemed even more confused.“I don’t think it’s in your place to worry about what happens to my wife or
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Negotiation
Mia felt a heavy downcast as she returned home from the Banquet. She had hoped to secure an alliance with the Young family but ended up damning her family to the Salernos wrath.Immediately she walked through the door of the living room, Melissa snapped, marching furiously towards her,“What on earth came over you and made you offend the Salerno family?!” Melissa snarled, her hands resting on her hips as she demanded an explanation.Mia’s eyes widened in shock as she stuttered. It had barely been thirty minutes since the incident happened. How did the news reach her family already?Suddenly her eyes narrowed as she spotted Yona in the background, and even without asking, knew she somehow had something to do with it.“What are we going to do now? Of all people to cross, you offended Manu Salerno. We’re all dead. What have you done Mia?” Melissa paced around frantically, occasionally darting her gaze towards Mia, who stood silently, not sure what to say or do at this time.Her only hope
THE VENGEFUL HEIR A Stand-Off
Mia instantly sobered up the moment she heard Manu’s words. She froze in fear, afraid to move, and gulped heavily.‘He wants me to do what?!’ The words replayed in her head, terrifying her even more.But just then, Manu leaned away, turned around, and stood beside her.His expression suddenly darkened, “Since you and Liam decided to my family’s lineage by causing my boy to become infertile, you’re going to sleep with everyone in my gang. That’s going to be your punishment Miss Stevens, and it’s the only way we can be even. But as for your friend, there’s no negotiating what I’ll do to him. He’s a dead man to me.”At that time, Mia slowly realized that coming here alone was a mistake. She hoped that Manu would be civil and take the money, but now she could see just how wrong she was.However, she tried to maintain her composure, suddenly realizing the danger she was in, and knew she had to leave in a coordinated way. She picked up her phone and pressed it to her ear, pretending to be o

Right at that moment, a mocking laughter burst in the crowd, followed by slow sarcastic clapping, “Well well well, what do we have here?” Lydia said, approaching Yona with slow measured steps.“I knew something wasn’t adding up when you outbid me.”She stopped in front of Yona, staring at her with a condescending smirk, “What’s the matter, Lydia? Can't you pay for your item?”“I should have known you were just a fraud,” Lydia added, shaking her head disdainfully.“Even after all these years, you are still pretending to be someone you’re not. Did you think that you could manipulate your way out of this? That you could lie to everybody here just to seem big? You’re nothing, Yona Stevens, you’ve always been nothing except a cheap, pretentious, liar. People like you disgust me, and now you’re going to get exactly what you deserve.”After saying that, Lydia turned to the auctioneer, “Do not waste any more time with this pretender. I know her, and I know she can’t pay for that necklace. So

“$20 million!” Yona yelled firmly.The crowd gasped in extreme shock, and Lydia’s face flashed with horror. She shot Yona a perplexed look. This had just escalated to a level she could no longer compete in, and even when she did not want to lose, bidding anything more than $20 million would just be pure foolishness.Mia’s eyes widened in horror when she heard Yona’s bid. She hung her head in, pinching the bridge of her nose in frustration.Yona flashed Lydia a cold sneer, then grinned proudly. She could tell by Lydia’s flushed look that she could not bid anything higher, and so leaned back in her seat proudly.The announcer remained quiet, stunned by Yona’s bid. After a few seconds, he cleared his throat and began, “Okay, we have $20 million. Do we have any other bid?” He asked and paused, scanning his eyes around the room.Everyone remained planted in their seat, not daring to make any other bid.Seeing the crowd’s response, the auctioneer began again, “$20 million, going one, twice…

The Auction
“This Chinese blade is a rare antique that is said to have belonged to the great Emperor Zhao Ling. It is said that it is the sole item that brought him great wealth and success in his empire. It was stolen from the great Emperor during the Renaissance war and later found along the European Gulf where it was transported to the Louvre museum and became its home for another hundred years.But finally, this great collectible will soon belong to one of you in this room, so ladies and gentlemen, do not relent in your bidding. Since this is just the first item for the day, we’re going to start bidding at a price that should be chicken change to most of you.Do we have $15 million?” The announcer yelled.Before his words even fell, a man in a navy blue suit and dark hair raised his bid paddle,“$15 million,”The auctioneer chuckled lightly, “Alright, we’re off to an early start. Do I hear $15.5 million?”Another voice echoed sharply, “$15.5million.”A frown appeared on the man in the navy b

Who are you?
Since having overheard Liam’s conversation, Mia felt on edge around Liam. However, she refused to confront him, knowing he was just going to dismiss her concerns, and if Liam felt that she was coming on to him, it might make it more difficult to find out what she needed to do.Deep in thought, she turned and walked away from his room, still trying to process what she had heard when she spotted Victor and her brows instantly creased in anger.“What is he doing here?” Mia stormed angrily down the stairs.Victor was standing with Yona and Carl when they saw her hastily approaching them,“Mia!” He said excitedly. “Glad you could join us, I was just talking to your sister about how we can clean up this whole mess. Your family’s reputation has been tarnished, but there could be an opportunity to redeem it. There’s an-“Slap!Mia swung her arm fiercely, hitting Victor hard in the face.Yona gasped in horror, a deep frown immediately settling on her face, “What the hell’s wrong with you?!” S

Torn
Lord David remained quiet for a while, a deep frown settling on his fist. Peter had tried to remain casual, but he could still sense the threatening tone in the man’s voice and so calmly asked, “Did anyone in my family do anything to offend you, Mr Nelson?”Peter smirked and picked a flower from the garden, “That’s the thing about families isn’t it? They can be compared to this flower,” he started, plucking the petals off, “If one of these is infected, then the entire flower can become rotten, left to rot on the ground.” Lord David became more confused as he spoke. He feared Peter was talking about Carl.He knew that Peter Nelson had some partnerships with the Salernos even though he did not know the terms of their arrangement, but after settling the Salerno debt, he couldn’t fathom why the Nelsons would still have an issue with his family.He opened his mouth to speak, but the words caught in his throat. Peter quickly interjected again, this time, the calm look on his face had compl

Threatened
After returning from Victor’s party, Mia was even more confused than before. Victor’s little stunt at the party had embarrassed her further, but still there was a trace of concern in the things he said. At this point, she did not know what to think. Being married to Liam was proving to be more and more difficult by the day.She got up from the bed that morning, headed for her morning walks, but as she stepped outside the front entrance, she saw a package. Shifting her gaze curiously, she could not help but wonder who it was for, but on a closer look, she found Liam’s name on the package and her curiosity grew even more.Slowly, she reached for it, her heart pounding in her chest. She carried the box and hastily returned to her room. For a long while, she stared at the box, not knowing if to open it or not. A part of her felt that whatever was inside that box was the clue she had been looking for, something that could reveal a piece of Liam’s past, but another part of her hesitated,

Victor's Party
Mia remained frozen as the thought gnawed at her, causing her stomach to churn in dread.At that time she spots Liam and filled with anger, she turns and starts approaching him, but just then, the microphone echoes loudly interrupting.The MC announces that the party is about to begin and calls Victor to the stage.As Victor took the stage, a warm smile stretched his lips as he stared directly at Mia, making her uneasy.He then began, “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here tonight. My family just secured a new position in the Chamber of Commerce and we are very excited about this opportunity. It just means that we’ll be able to take better care of the people around us and support the growth and progress of this city.”The crowd erupted in loud cheer, but Victor waved his hand, silencing them. He took a sip of his drink and continued, “Now, I understand that there are some people, some not too far away from us who might not be able to achieve this kind of feat, but it is not t

The Manipulation
The Stevens became even more skeptical after Liam’s card cleared. Even after Keenan had turned and walked away, they still couldn’t make any sense of it.Mia stood frozen in spot, shifting her gaze towards Liam in confusion.Meanwhile, Yona became more convinced that Lord David had secretly orchestrated the payment.“Your grandfather would not waste $100 million just to cover that loser. Something else must be going on.” Melissa persisted.“Then how would you explain what just happened? Do you really believe that that bumpkin could have a $100 million?” Yona interjected, expressing doubt.However, before anyone could say something, she quickly added, “I think there’s only one way to figure this out.”Carl leaned in curiously upon hearing this, eager to unravel Liam’s secrets. He could not stand the fact that the bumpkin loser that he’d looked down on and belittled this entire time could be someone greater than him.“I think we should hire a private investigator,” Yona whispered. “I ha

Cleared
The tension in the hall became unbearable after Liam spoke. Lord David hesitated for a while, dreading what might happen if the card did not clear the payment.Mia shook her head in frustration. Just when she thought Liam had refrained from boasting, here he was, bragging about having a way out again.“Do you think this is some kind of joke?!” She snapped, her voice sharp and piercing.“You are a part of this family now and whatever happens to us affects you as well. So stop pretending you’ve got everything figured out and let us figure a way out of this.” Liam shifted his gaze towards her and was filled with disappointment. He didn’t care if everyone else refused to believe him, but Mia? He only wanted her confidence, but yet again he couldn’t even get that.“Use the card.” He repeated firmly, meeting Mia’s annoyed look with an intent gaze.Seeing the determined look on his face, Lord David reached into his pocket and brought out the card, his hand trembling. At that point, his mind
