THE VENGEFUL HEIR Preparations For The Gala
Bella sprang up in desperation, “Please Mr Gordon, I’m so sorry I offended Mr Liam. I’ll do anything for you to forgive me. Please I need this job or I’ll lose my house, my car.” She cried without shame. The people in the crowd looked stunned. Just a few minutes ago, she was bragging and threatening to have Liam kicked out of the store, but now she was begging to save her job. They could all tell this chain or result came from her belittling and insulting Liam, but what they could not understand was who was Liam really.Lupe strode slowly toward her, his face devoid of any emotion. He stopped a few inches in front of her and coldly said, “Maybe you should have thought of that before you decided to steal from the store.”Bella’s eyes widened in shock at that moment. She opened her mouth to speak, but could not find the words.“Did you really think that I was not going to find out that you’ve been stealing from this store for years now? You are fired Bella, and since you’ve been so gen
THE VENGEFUL HEIR A Different Liam
When the Steven family arrived at the Nelson Gala, Peter sighted them from a distance and a wry smile crossed his lips. Without any delays, he hurried towards Lord Steven extending his hand for a courtly greeting.“I’m glad to see you and your lovely family could make it. I think you’ll have a good time here tonight.” He said.Lord David on the other hand did not look so enticed by Peter’s chivalrous act. After the subtle threat the man had laid at his home, Lord David knew better than to let his guard down around Peter. However, he feigned a warm smile and nodded, “Thank you for having us, Mr. Nelson, I hope we can sort out whatever misunderstanding we have today.” Just then Jonah Pierce, the head of Greyson enterprise, the city’s biggest pharmaceutical company hurried towards them with a smug look on his face, “Mr. Nelson, this is a lovely gala. Could I steal you away for some moments? There’s some private business I want to discuss with you.”Peter nodded and turned away sharply.
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Victor Exposed
Liam balled his fist in anger but did not say anything. He stared at Victor with a furious gaze and then his expression quickly shifted to a grin. There was no need to pick a fight now. He’d get his revenge and ruin the Carpi’s name and influence in the city before the night ended.With that, he brushed past Victor and just then, a voice echoed loudly on the speaker, “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for all accepting my invitation. Tonight is going to be a memorable one as we will be announcing our company’s most recent developments. Enjoy the drinks and wine, and have a good time.” Peter announced over the radio.Liam saw his opportunity and figured there was no point waiting for the night to end, he quickly stepped towards the stage and headed straight to Peter with a purposeful face.Peter stared at him in confusion but did not react. The crowd stared expectantly, wondering what was going on and why Liam was there.“Please I’d like everyone to give a round of applause to our host t
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Collateral Damage
The crowd frowned, but before they could say anything else, Liam continued coldly, “The Carpi family has taken a $5 million loan from the Salerno family to kickstart the opening of a new company. A company where they intend to ask for your investments by offering opportunities to own shares, but it’s all going to be a scam.If you don’t listen and go ahead to invest in this company, what will happen is that you all will lose millions of dollars of your investments as the Carpi family is planning to flee the city with all your money.”A shockwave went through the crowd as they heard this, and for a moment, the entire place became quiet. Victor’s face tinged with worry, afraid the people were beginning to buy into Liam’s allegations. He scoffed nervously and turned around, quickly addressing them,“Don’t tell me you all believe this loser.” “He’s been trying to defame me and my family for a long time now. I want you all to know that this is all part of his attempts to ruin my family’s
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

10a.m With The Devil
Liam and Jack arrived at the Nelson company shortly after, and without wasting any time, Liam stormed towards the front desk,“I need to see your President.” He demanded coldly.The receptionist glanced at him and then smiled politely, sensing trouble, “I’m sorry sir, but I’ll have to confirm your appointment with Mr. Nelson first before you can proceed.”“There’s no need for that. He’s already expecting me, so just give me his office number and I’ll be on my way.” Liam replied hastily.At this time, the receptionist’s brows creased into a frown, “I’m sorry sir, that’s not how it works here. Now please exercise a little patience and wait by the lounge. I’ll quickly check in with Mr. Nelson, and once he gives the permission, you can go ahead and meet with him.” She said authoritatively.Liam remained frozen and then smiled. It wasn’t like Peter Nelson to hide. If he’d done all these, requesting Mia to represent her family in the meeting, then certainly he was expecting him to show up.
Forced Alliances
Laura hesitated for a moment. Jack’s response was not the one she was looking forward to. “Umm…” she started weakly, “There’s something else I forgot to mention.”“Yes?” Jack replied sternly.“They want Mia to represent them.” As soon as Jack heard Mia’s name, he hesitated for a moment. He knew Liam would be concerned if he found out Mia was directly involved in this. He arched his brows in confusion, pressed the microphone with his finger, and turned towards Liam, “Young Master, there’s a bit of a problem.”Liam shifted his gaze sharply at him, “I thought I told you to handle everything, Jack,” he said tiredly, “What is it?”Jack hesitated for a moment, not sure how to say this, “Um…”“Spit it out, Jack.” Liam cut in hastily.“Peter has asked Mia to represent her family in the meeting. He’s on to you.” Jack’s words took Liam by surprise. He slowly raised his hand to his cheek, contemplating the gravity of this new development.With Mia in the frontline, he might not be able to im
The Nelson Invitation
“Umm, I was just…”“Snooping around?” Laura interjected, narrowing her eyes suspiciously.“No,” Mia quickly replied, “I-I was just…” she paused, desperately trying to find an excuse, anything to say and get herself out of this difficult spot right now. Laura walked closer to her, her eyes glued to Mia’s perplexed face, and then stopped in front of her.“I could tell something was off downstairs,” she started, making Mia more confused, and then walked around her, observing her closely. “At first, I thought you were feeling threatened because I guess Liam never mentioned me, and maybe you thought something was going on between us, but then I saw that wasn’t it.”“You were not quite as threatened by me as you were more curious about something.”“So, I asked myself, what could Mia Stevens probably be trying to find? So when I saw you through the hallway monitors sneaking into Liam’s room, I figured it had something to do with him.”Mia stood wordlessly, staring at Laura with a stern gaz
Caught Snooping
“When Liam found me at the mansion, he saved me, and since then I’d taken over Manu’s enterprise and worked with Liam to clean up the damages and hurt my father brought to this city.” Laura shared, and then paused, staring directly at Mia’s face, “So, if you’re still wondering whether I can keep your family safe. You can be rest assured, I command the entire Salerno family power now and I’m personally motivated to bring Peter Nelson to his doom.”Upon hearing this, Mia remained silent for a while, not sure what to say. The more she heard about Liam, the more she was convinced there was more to him. “But if you’re Manu’s daughter, then how come we never heard about you?” Yona interjected, staring at Laura with suspicion. “That’s enough questions Yona.” Lord David interjected, silencing her.He walked towards Laura with slow measured steps and stopped in front of her, staring at her intently, “What do you need Ms Belucci?”Laura smiled and clapped her hands, “Alright, I’m going to nee
Laura's Reveal
When Liam clicked on the screen, there was nothing. No trace of any implicating information or anything that spoke of his illegal dealings or involvement in crime. Liam could not believe it - a blank script. Right at that moment, his phone rang, breaking him out of his trance. Glancing at the screen, Liam saw it was Jack and answered, “I’m at the facility sir, where would I meet you?”Liam did not answer immediately. Instead, he heaved a deep sigh and said, “Don’t bother.”“Huh?” Jack asked, confused.“I’ve found the neural link, Jack. There’s records of everyone in this city and everything they’ve ever been involved with.” He said.Jack waited patiently, anxious to hear what else the man had to say, “There’s nothing here about Peter. It’s like he has a perfectly clean record.”“What? How can that be? We all know everything that bastard’s done. How can his record be clean?”“I don’t know,” Liam answered dejectedly, stared across the records once more, and sighed heavily. “I’m comin
The Neural link
Shortly after Liam ended the call, he texted Luara the address of the Stevens family with directions on what to do when she got there. Right now, he was more focused on finding the network facility. With everything happening, Liam felt more relieved. Peter would be distracted by all of this, he doubted the man would have the time to plan an ambush.After a short drive, he finally arrived at the location.From the gate, one could not see into the facility or even know if it’s existence. The building looked like a regular office building that had been abandoned with no visible guards or security details anywhere. Confused, Liam drove his car into the facility and again picked up his phone to call Jack.Jack’s phone rang for a few moments and then he answered, “Sorry for keeping you waiting Young Master. I’ve just finished talking to Laura about what to do about the Stevens case and will be there shortly.”“Alright, but that’s not why I called Jack,” Liam replied and stared straight ah
Laura Visit The Stevens
“Well, well, well. What do you know?” Mia taunted with a malicious look on her face.“Looks like I was right all along. What are you going to say this time, Victor? Your secrets are out and just like I suspected, you leaked the offshore accounts. I mean it has to be with all these records of you involved in illegal dealings, fraud, and whatnot.” Mia said with a smug grin.Meanwhile, Melissa remained frozen. She could not believe that she had been instrumental in this whole mess. The only other person she had trusted with this secret was Victor, and judging from the looks of things now, she could tell that he had leaked the reports.She lunged at him furiously, but before she could get to him, Yona stepped in front of her, holding her back,“You bastard!” Melissa sneered.“Why would you do this to us?”“Isn’t it obvious Mom?” Mia scoffed.“He’s just trying to implicate Liam, and then win your trust so you all would choose him to join the family.”By now everyone was already acquainted
Victor Exposed
Meanwhile, Liam has finally had enough of Victor’s attempts to smear his image and ruin his relationship with Mia. He could tell from the onset that this was about sabotaging his chances with Mia, but since the man did not want to play fair anymore, he was going to deal him with the same cards.Retrieving his phone, he quickly called Jack. As soon as the call went through, Jack immediately answered,“I’m already on my way to you sir,” he said, thinking Liam was calling to know his location, but Liam quickly interjected, “That’s not the reason I’m calling Jack. Have you seen the news?”“The news?” Jack’s voice was laced with confusion.“Yes, it seems I underestimated Victor Carpi’s relentlessness. He’s released the Nelson offshore account and implicated the Steven’s family, but the sneaky bastard is making allegations that I’m the one that released those records.”“What do you need me to do?” Jack replied in a malicious tone.“I need you to release every information you gathered on Vi
Mia and Victor
Just as Liam anticipated, Victor had leaked Melissa’s offshore account and framed him for it. The scandal had taken the media by uproar, causing the Steven’s family to suffer more public discontent and humiliation. In no time, the news made it to every major channel and once again, the Stevens family was taking the heat.No one knew how this happened, or who leaked it. Even after realizing what Melissa had done, Lord David and the rest of the Steven family were too preoccupied with managing the damage it was quickly causing to their reputation to blame Melissa.At this time, Victor quickly showed up at the mansion, moving with urgency and fake concern.“I came as quickly as I saw it,” he said urgently rushing towards Melissa,“How did this happen? Do you have any idea who could have done this?” Melissa was a mess at this time, her face a mix of anger and fear. She knew by now Peter would have found out about the account leak and would not be happy. They were already in a fix with t
