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

The Regroup
The rain hadn’t let up since morning. It was the next day after Peter escaped with the Morath Relic. Liam and Jack had returned to Evelyn’s house. It was a slow morning. The rain beat against the windows of Evelyn’s old house like a warning—steady, relentless, and cold. But inside, the warmth of the crackling fireplace did little to ease the weight pressing on Liam’s shoulders.He sat on the edge of the couch, elbows on his knees, staring into the flames, watching mindlessly as they crackled, lost in thought. Jack leaned against the wall near the window, quietly, his arms crossed, eyes flicking between the storm outside and the silence inside. Evelyn moved around the room quietly, her presence as calming as it was commanding, her white lab coat flaring behind her like a cape.“So,” Jack finally said, breaking the silence, “he has the relic now.”Liam nodded slowly. “And he used it. I felt it—like a ripple tearing through the air.”Evelyn returned to the center of the room, setting dow
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
