THE VENGEFUL HEIR Come Get Him
Liam’s steps were steady as he walked toward his car, determined to rescue Jack and damn the consequences. Jack had always been by his side and helped him through all these chaos, but these last few days, he had to do everything alone, but the more he left Jack there, the more he felt like everything was going to blow over. His mind was still adrift as he made his way to his car, but the moment his fingers brushed against the door handle, he froze. His jaw clenched as he realized, he didn’t even know where Jack was.How could he save him if he didn’t even know where to start? Liam exhaled sharply, frustration burning in his chest. His gaze shifted back toward the alley, where Victor still lay slumped against the ground. His breaths were shallow, but Liam could tell—he was awake. Awake and afraid.He turned and strode back toward him, his movements swift and precise. Victor groaned softly, hoping Liam wouldn’t notice that he was conscious, as he crouched beside him, gripping his chin a
THE VENGEFUL HEIR A Line in the Sand
Following Peter’s words, Liam’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. He was counting on Peter to say something like that. After what he imagined they had done to Jack, he needed to show them the same amount of pain. He didn’t hesitate. The moment Peter tilted his head toward the warehouse doors, he surged forward, ready to tear through anyone who stood between him and Jack.But before he could take more than a few steps, Peter’s men closed in. A dozen figures moved swiftly, encircling him, with different weapons, from metal pipes to knives and steel knuckles, their expressions ranging from amused to deadly serious.Liam’s grip on the Zuri blade tightened as he slowed to a stop, his breath steady despite the tension thickening around him. The blade in his hand vibrated ever so slightly, humming with a resonance that sent a shiver through his bones. He swallowed, remembering Evelyn’s warning.“The Zuri blade is a conduit.”“If you keep using it, you might lose control of yourself and i
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Now It Begins
Liam’s fingers curled tighter around the Zuri blade, his breathing steady despite the storm raging inside him. His instincts screamed at him. He knew whatever was hiding in the shadows wasn’t normal, wasn’t human. The air in the room thickened, growing charged like the atmosphere before a storm, spiking the hairs on his skin, but he refused to show his fear. He couldn’t, not with Peter watching every moment of this as if it was some sick show. He knew any signs of weakness now would only satisfy Peter. He kept watching the direction of the footsteps, waiting to see what would emerge from the other end of it, and then, without warning, a large metal pipe came swinging toward his head.Liam reacted instantly. His body moved before his mind fully registered the attack, and in a single fluid motion, he swung the Zuri blade. The pipe met the sharp edge of the weapon, and with a sharp, metallic shring, it sliced it cleanly in half. The two severed pieces clattered to the warehouse floor, s
THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Monster Within
A few seconds went by and then slowly, Jonah stood up, his gaze locked directly on Liam. He clenched his fist angrily, the veins on his arms popping out and then he growled. He took a step forward, muscles twitching as his blood red eyes remained locked onto Liam, and then he stomped the ground hard, causing it to tremble slightly. Liam clenched his jaw and held out a hand. His breath was steady, but within him, he didn’t want to keep fighting Jonah. He wasn’t afraid, but he wasn’t reckless either. “Jonah,” he called out, his voice firm but calm. “I know you’re in there. Stop this. I don’t wanna hurt you. I think I can help.” Liam said, lowering his arms as if trying to calm Jonah down.For a moment, Jonah hesitated, almost as if he could understood Liam. His body stiffened, his claws twitched, and those hollow red eyes flickered with something—something human.But then Peter’s voice slithered through the darkness like poison.“It’s no use, Liam.” His words dripped with satisfaction
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Can't Save Everybody
“You shouldn’t have done that.” Peter said in a low menacing voice. Upon hearing those words, Liam was slightly confused by what Peter meant. His heart hammered in his ears, but he didn’t dare take his eyes off Jonah, who was still writhing in the dim light.When he saw Jonah twitched, slowly pushing himself up, with blood still oozing from his chest, but nevertheless still not slowing him down. Liam’s eyes widened in disbelief. This was not supposed to be possible. That cut had gone deep enough and Jonah should not have survived that, even if he did, he shouldn’t have been moving.Bracing himself, Liam tightened his grip around the Zuri blade.“Did you really think it would be that easy?” Peter’s voice filtered into his ears again, each word more condescending than the last. “I’ve spent years building this, perfecting my creations. Did you really think you can just end it with a single swing?”The words hit Liam like a punch to the gut and his mind raced, every thought spinning out
THE VENGEFUL HEIR He’s Creating Monsters
Liam took a cautious step forward. Jonah was on the ground, breathing heavily, his body twitching as the last remnants of Peter’s virus coursed through him. But his red eyes, weren’t just burning with fury anymore. There was something else. A flicker of recognition. A glimpse of the man Jonah used to be.The Zuri blade pulsed in Liam’s grip, sending an eerie sensation up his arm. The glow of the blade intensified, and for the first time, Liam felt something shift, not just in the weapon, but in the air around him.Peter leaned forward, his smirk faltering as he watched with sharp, curious eyes. “Interesting…” he murmured.Liam ignored him. His attention was locked onto Jonah. Carefully, he crouched, his muscles tense but his voice steady.“Jonah… listen to me.” His voice was low, calm. “You don’t have to fight anymore. You don’t have to be what Peter made you.”Jonah’s body shuddered, his breaths weak. His fingers curled into the ground, clawing at the concrete like he was fighting ag
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Rescued
After saying those words, Jack was almost about to slump again, but this time Liam caught him before he hit the ground. His body was cold, his breathing shallow with blood smeared all over his torn shirt, and at a glance, it seemed almost as if he was lifeless.“Jack!” Liam shook him slightly, but Jack was already unconscious at this time.Liam clenched his jaw, his mind racing. He didn’t have time to process Jack’s words. He already knew Peter was a nightmare, but now he had just confirmed for himself that there was even something much worse waiting in the shadows.Without wasting another second, Liam picked him up regardless of the pain surging through his body. He carried Jack down the stairs, moving as fast his battered body would allow. By the time he reached the car, he wasted no time and immediately yanked open the passenger door and carefully eased Jack inside, making sure his head was supported.Liam slid into the driver’s seat, gripping the wheel so tightly his knuckles turn
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Make Him Pay
Liam nodded at Evelyn’s words, still trying to hold back his frustration and anger with everything that was happening. “Let me know when he’s awake,” he said quietly. “I have something to take care of.”Evelyn hesitated, her eyes studying him. She could see the weight of exhaustion pressing down on him, but she knew Liam wouldn’t stop, not now. With a quiet sigh, she reached out and patted his shoulder.“Liam… just be careful.”Liam didn’t respond. He turned and walked away, his boots heavy against the hospital floor. As soon as he stepped outside, the cold air hit his face, but it did little to ground him. His body was humming with tension, his mind clouded with everything that had happened in the last few hours—Jack’s battered body, the blood, the Zuri blade pulsing in his grip, and worst of all… Jonah.Jonah was dead, and there was nothing he could do to prevent him. Even till now Jonah’s death was still devastating. It reminded him that at the moment, there was not much he could d

All Eyes on Mia
The morning after the fundraiser, was just as interesting as the night before. Immediately after the fundraiser, the media was fired up and sparked with reactions. “Liam Walker: A New Alliance with the Young Dynasty?” One post read.“Power Couple in the Making? Natalie Young and Liam Walker Spotted Together” Another source posted.But the news cycles didn’t just stop there. In some there were pictures of Liam and Natalie standing side by side—just long enough for the wrong story to spread everywhere. No matter how polite and distant Liam had been, the cameras made it look like something more. Like there was an undeniable tension between them.Mia scrolled through the articles on her tablet in silence, her coffee going cold beside her. She tried not to let it get to her. Tried not to let the headlines sink in. But they did. Every photo, every comment section filled with people dissecting her life, her relationship, her worth had hit her in a quiet way.She tossed the tablet onto the c
Natalie Young
The ballroom sparkled with light, laughter, and conversations that seemed carefully staged. Chandeliers hung like floating stars above the city’s elite as servers weaved through the crowd with glasses of wine and trays of appetizers. The fundraiser was buzzing, and the tension from recent headlines hadn’t dimmed the event—it had fueled it. Michael Young had organized this ball as an opportunity to help change the public’s opinion about Liam and by doing, also win his favor.Liam stood near one of the tall windows, hands in his pockets, watching the crowd through guarded eyes. He wasn’t sure why he came. Despite his good relationship with the Young family, attending a ball was the last thing he needed now, but Jack had said it was important to “show face,” however all Liam felt was out of place.He was barely there five minutes when the buzz shifted. Heads turned and conversations slowed, but still they all tried to pretend like he wasn’t the reason for the change in the atmosphere.M
The Unspoken Things
The rain had stopped, but the clouds still hung low, heavy and quiet. Liam sat on the edge of the rooftop, watching the city lights flicker through the mist. Behind him, the door creaked open and soft footsteps followed. Mia sat beside him, pulling her coat tighter around her, her face filled with unsaid questions, and for a moment, neither of them said anything.Then she whispered, “Can I ask you something?”Liam didn’t look at her. He only smiled coyly and said. “You already did.”Mia smiled faintly and shifted towards him. “I mean something real.”Sensing the depth in her tone, Liam nodded slowly. “Go ahead.”Mia shifted, resting her hands in her lap. “Why do you always hold back?”He turned to her, finally meeting her eyes, but confused about the question.“I’m not talking about the war, or the missions,” she added quickly. “Not the Tribunal, not Peter, not Darius. I mean… you. The person behind all of it. I know you’ve been trying. You’ve let me in more these past few weeks than
The Trial
After avoiding the Tribunal call, Vaughn became more desperate when Liam didn’t say anything and decided to take a drastic measure bur forcing Liam out.Although he had successfully avoided them at first, Liam knew the longer kept silence over this issue, the more difficult it would become and so he accepted the invite for the meeting. As he arrived at Taeger, the room was quiet, too quiet for something that carried so much weight. Liam sat alone at the long glass table, his back straight, expression unreadable. The walls were white, clinical, but the air was thick with tension. Around him, the Tribunal members took their seats—six in total. At the head of the room stood Senator Vaughn, hands behind his back, wearing that usual smug look like he already knew the outcome.“Since Mr Moran has decided to join us today, the meeting will now begin,” one of the older members announced. “We are here to review the ownership and handling of Peter Harrow’s estate, specifically research rights,
Family at War
Despite the tensions brewing in the air, the Steven’s mansion was strangely quiet. Mia walked through its marbled halls, every step echoing against the polished floors. She hadn’t been here in weeks—not since the storm with Darius, not since her world had been turned upside down. She wasn’t even sure why she’d come back. Then again, when Lord Steven called, it wasn’t something you ignored.He was waiting for her in his private study, the one with the heavy oak door and the old books stacked like bricks of history.“Mia,” he said warmly, standing as she entered. “I appreciate you coming.”She gave a polite nod and took the seat across from him.There was a long pause before he spoke again. “You’ve made hard choices lately. And while I don’t say it often enough… I see your loyalty. And I admire it.”Mia didn’t answer right away. She just watched him.Lord Steven exhaled and leaned forward. “But I have to ask—what do you really want, Mia? With Liam. With this family.” He paused, letting
Political Fallout
The next day, Liam awoke to find a message from the head of the Tribunal. Filled with curiosity, he decided to check and find out what this was about. The message was clear and direct — Your presence is needed at the Taeger urgently. Liam sat up and glanced around the room. Mia was nowhere close. He stood up and walked down to the meeting room and everyone was there. He hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should tell them the message he had gotten but before he could even make up his mind, Jack noticed the look on his face and asked. “What’s going on Liam? You look disturbed.” Liam darted his eyes across the room and then heaved reluctantly, “I’ve been summoned by The city and the Tribunal. I think I know what this is about.” The room fell silent for a long while and then Jack nodded and stood up, “Then we all go.” He said and without waiting for Liam’s approval, the group marched out.After a short drive, they arrived at Taeger. The square was packed and cameras flashed. Peopl
Safe for Now
The hum of the car engine faded as Liam and Mia pulled up to the safe house. Liam and Mia had taken a quick detour before returning home against the group’s better judgment. Jack hurriedly opened the door before they could knock, his eyes scanning them both like he wasn’t sure if they were real or ghosts.“You made it,” Jack said, relief soft but clear in his voice.Liam gave a tired nod. His body ached in every place he could feel and some he couldn’t. Mia stayed close, clinging to Liam as if every memory of what had happened was still vivid in her mind, her hand still laced with his. They stepped inside together.The air inside was tense. No one cheered, no one smiled. The weight of this battle was still looming over everyone, and they gave each other space, respect. Maybe even understanding.Evelyn was already waiting in the back room with a first aid kit, and without a word, she gestured for Liam to sit.“I’m fine,” Liam started, but Mia gave him a stern look, and even Evelyn didn
The Final Flame
Liam stood, bloodied and broken, panting heavily after the fight. It seemed Mia had saved him. Her words were just the echo he needed to pull out of the Ogini’s hold. Darius was dead and the Ogini was slowly fading away. Finally everything was over, or at least so he thought. Around them, the walls of the chamber cracked and groaned. The ground trembled beneath their feet as the Ogini’s energy flared out of control.Liam’s eyes widened in shock as he watched Darius rise to his feet across the room. “Impossible!” He muttered to himself.Darius’ body twisted, reshaped by the Ogini into something unrecognizable. A fusion of beast and nightmare. His skin burned like molten stone, his eyes pitch-black voids that leaked dark light. One thing was clear to Liam at this point, whatever that was, it was far from human and had no consciousness of its own. He roared, the sound shaking the very air.“You think love makes you strong?” he bellowed. “It makes you weak!He raised his hands, tearing op
The Rift Within
As the light continued increasing, it became almost blinding till everything turned white and Liam blacked out. He woke up a while later, pressing his hand against the floor to look around. The air was thick and alive, filled with energy that crackled and pulsed through the walls like lightning. He was lying on stone, but it felt like it was breathing. The chamber around him glowed with deep red and black light, dark veins of Ogini energy running across the floor and ceiling.And in the center of it all stood Darius. No longer the man Liam once knew. His form had changed completely, part man, part monster. His skin shimmered like black stone cracked with fire underneath. His eyes burned bright with the mark of the Ogini, and long tendrils of energy moved behind him like shadows with a mind of their own.“Mia…” Liam whispered as he looked past Darius. Suspended in a large, floating crystal of pure black, Mia hung unconscious. Her face was peaceful, but her body was limp, trapped in the
