THE VENGEFUL HEIR Your boss is a psycho
The camera panned around and slowly Liam could feel his rage increasing, but then the camera stopped, showing Victor Carpi standing beside her and smirking into the camera.Liam’s blood turned to ice.“Tell me, Liam,” Victor’s voice drawled through the speaker. “How much is she worth to you?” Victor asked, tracing a sharp knife along her face, and then the video cut off.Liam remained frozen, staring at the screen as his pulse thundered in his ears. His grip on the phone was so tight he thought it might crack.His hands trembled—not with fear or uncertainty, but with pure, unfiltered rage. If Victor was in front of him now, there was no telling what he’d do to him. Nevertheless, one thing was certain, Victor Carpi was a dead man.Michael noticed the incensed look on Liam’s face and approached him with slow measured steps. “Everything okay, Master Moran?” Liam snapped out of his trance, the shock and anger still evident on his face, but then he heaved a deep sigh and momentarily tried
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Liam Rescues
“That’s not really my concern,” Victor replied. “I know Peter’s hands are not clean, but like I said, I’m not really bothered by what he’s up to. As long as I can use him to get what I want, then he can be the worst person on earth and I wouldn’t care.” He said nonchalantly.Mia’s eyes widened in shock as he spoke. She knew that prison changed people, but Victor was unhinged and too far gone. She opened her mouth to speak, but the shock was too profound, her words formed a lump in her throat.“You see, while I was in there, I never thought that I’d get to see anything outside those walls again. My life was pretty much over, but prison gave me some time to think. It helped me to reflect on things that truly mattered. I vowed that when I get out, I’m going to make sure that your entire family pays for ruining my life, but turns out Peter was already ahead of me in that,” he paused and started walking around Mia,“Why couldn’t you just see what I was trying to show you? What I was trying
THE VENGEFUL HEIR I’m Liam Moran
Liam quickly untied the ropes from her hand and shot one last glance at Victor who was passed out cold now. “I’m sorry,” he started, “This is all my fault. I should have been there. I should have protected you.” Liam said.Mia slowly raised her hand to his face and gently cupped it, “You’re here now aren’t you? You saved me.” She said with a reassuring smile.Liam stood up and helped her up, “Let’s get you out of here.” He said and reached for her hand, leading her out of the room. Outside, Mia’s eyes widened in shock when she saw the pile of bodies scattered on the floor, wincing and groaning in pain. At that moment, fear crawled through her body, but it wasn’t them she was afraid of. It was Liam. Did he do all this on his own? She could not help but wonder as they continued towards the main entrance.Liam suddenly stopped when they reached outside and shifted his gaze to the right where he saw Michael Young leaning against his car.“Wait here for me, I’ll be back soon with the ca
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Hard Acceptance
Chapter 141Liam took a step toward her. “Mia, please—”However, before she could even stop herself, Mia lost control and swung her arm across his face, slapping him hard with a stern look on her face. The sound echoed loudly through the house, but Liam didn’t flinch. He just stood there, his jaw tight, and his eyes dark with a strange look that Mia couldn’t read. It wasn’t surprise, nor fear. It was almost as if he had expected it. Somewhere deep down, he knew that once he told Mia his secrets, she would not be able to handle it.Mia’s hands trembled. “I told you things I’ve never told anyone,” she whispered, trying to process everything. She could not believe it. Everyone was right about him, even that no-good loser, Victor. This whole time, Liam had been hiding his true self from her, and she couldn’t understand why or even wish to know. “I let myself believe in you. In us. But you were just using me, weren’t you?”“No.” Liam quickly said, his voice was raw, desperate. “Mia, it wa
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Make Up Your Mind
Meanwhile, Laura waited at the road, glancing at her screen from time to time. Mia was supposed to arrive now, but as she looked around there were no sightings of her. She thought about calling Liam again but thought it would be a waste of time. She needed to go check for them herself and tell her men where to position themselves.She exhaled, gripping the steering wheel with one hand while keeping an eye on the long stretch of road ahead. Her men were nearby, some already scattered in strategic positions, weapons ready. And after taking a deep breath, she stepped out of the car.Meanwhile, Liam was still trying to order Mia to leave,“They’re going to kill you, Liam!” Mia bellowed painfully. Liam smirked, “They can try, but we both know that’s not going to happen.” He said confidently and gently patted Mia’s cheeks again.Suddenly he could hear the sound of distant calls of name leaves rustling and knew Peter’s men were closing in.He turned to Mia, her face pale, her chest rising an
THE VENGEFUL HEIR You're Asking The Wrong Question
Mia heaved a deep breath but did not accept Laura’s invitation. She knew no amount of screaming was going to help her feel better about this situation. Despite Laura’s calmness through this, there was no assurance that nothing could happen to Liam. If anything, it only made her feel what he was doing was even more dangerous if the people around him felt so nonchalantly about it.Still, she could not confront Laura instead. Her mind was in a frenzy. Nothing she did or thought about had made this better, and after some time, she heaved a deep sigh and turned to Laura, “I don’t get how you do it,” she admitted. “How you’re just… okay with all of this.”Laura hummed, considering her words. She could see that this was still something Mia was dealing with and even though she didn’t feel so disturbed about it herself, she still remembered her first time finding out what Liam does and the risks associated with it. “I wasn’t always.” She said, trying to offer Mia some comfort and level ground.
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Peter Has To Die
After a deep moment of silence, Laura sighed. “You love him.” She glanced at Mia. It wasn’t a question. Laura already knew how Mia felt, but she wanted to hear from her.Mia hesitated, then nodded slowly. “Yeah. I do.”Laura nodded as if she had expected that answer. “Then be sure you can love yourself in this life, too. Because if you can’t, it’ll destroy you. Trust me, Mia, I know. I’ve seen what being in this world has done to people. The corruption, the identity crises. It’s a dangerous place if you don’t know who you are or what you want.”Mia felt a sharp sting in her chest when she heated those words. She turned back to the window, her reflection staring back at her in the dim glow of the dashboard. Could she really do this? She wondered. Could she survive in Liam’s world without losing herself?She pondered deeply but then realized that she didn’t know, and there was no way of knowing and that terrified her. They continued to drive in silence until they reached the safe house
THE VENGEFUL HEIR It Was All For Revenge?
Mia waited anxiously, checking the time every few minutes. Liam was supposed to arrive any moment now and her nerves were all over the place. Suddenly the screeching sound of tires against the gravel snapped her out of her thoughts. Without hesitation, she jumped up from the couch, her heart hammering in her chest. Laura, who had been leaning against the fireplace, pushed herself upright, already reaching for the gun tucked into her waistband. Mia barely noticed. She was already moving, rushing toward the front door before Laura could stop her. And then the door swung open, revealing Liam on the other side. For a split second, Mia couldn’t breathe. He was alive and standing right in front of her, but she felt like she had seen a ghost.Liam was bruised, blood splattered on his clothes and a small cut running along his jaw. Nevertheless, relief flooded through her, and before she could even think, she ran to him.At that time, she didn’t care that she was still mad at him, didn’t care

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
