THE VENGEFUL HEIR Tables Turned
Bella scoffed dejectedly at his words. She stood silently for a while, glaring at him, and the longer she stared at him, the more she felt a deep fury towards him. In the end, Liam was still the same arrogant, proud fool she knew him to be, but now she was finally going to get her revenge. Without any delay, she quickly pulled out her phone and called the cops. Liam shook his head disappointedly, retrieved his phone, and texted Jack. Elms Street was one of the most bustling areas in Springfield and his family owned most of the properties in this area. Liam knew that whoever owned this place worked for his family which meant they answered to him.But it wasn’t enough just to kick Bella out. She had tried to humiliate him time after time, and now he’d had enough.After being kicked out from the Stevens mansion, he was determined to prove his true self to anyone who crossed him, and Bella had just made herself the unfortunate target of his rage. When Bella saw him fiddling on his phon
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

Your Move, Peter
Peter shook his head and sighed, “I must say I’m a little disappointed by your answer Liam. I was really looking forward to working with you. It would have made everything much easier. We could have had the world, but I can’t force you to join me,” he paused, and his expression suddenly darkened as he stared at Liam with bottled rage, “You do understand that from now on, if you get in my way, I am going to fight you with everything I have, don’t you?”Liam ignored his threat, creasing his face in annoyance, “Do not make me ask again. Leave the Stevens alone.”Peter could no longer contain Liam’s arrogance. Now that Liam had rejected his offer, there was no need to play pretend anymore. “I’ll suggest you look around and remember where you are Mr. Moran,” Peter slammed his hands on the table and stood up, his eyes sharp and intimidating,“You are in no place to make demands. In case you have forgotten, this is my company!” He snarled.“I can have my men in here before you can leave thi
Silent Warning
Liam remained quiet for a while. He shot a side glance at Jack. This was it. This was the moment that will determine everything. If Peter had the slightest clue that he was the heir of the Moran family, he would come at Liam with everything he got, but he also knew that he could not lie about Peter’s suspicions.With that flowing through his mind, he glanced at his watch and then heaved a deep sigh, hunkering into his seat, “You’re right Peter, I am a descendant of the Moran family, but rest assured I’m not here to drag control and influence in this city with you.”Peter interjected sharply, “Drag control?” He chuckled.“Do you think that is what this is about?” He paused, chuckling again.Liam and Jack exchanged puzzled looks with each other and seeing this, Peter calmly interjected, “I don’t want to fight you, Liam. On the contrary, I want to work with you.”Liam’s eyes widened with surprise, “Work with me?” He repeated, trying to ensure he had heard him clearly.Peter heaved a deep
Chrysanthemum Heist
Liam watched in horror as Peter spoke freely about the horrors he had committed with no regard for the people whose lives he had ruined just to keep himself out of fire.“Tell me Peter, do the lives of these people whom you’ve trampled upon and ruined affect you? Do you ever develop a conscience over the things you’ve done?”Peter shot an amused gaze at Jack. For a moment, he believed Liam was trying to be humorous, but when he saw the stern look on Jack’s face, his smile slowly faded away, “Oh you’re serious,” He coughed.Peter folded his arms across his chest and his face turned sinister, “To be a frontier for a new revolution, some tough calls have to be made,” he paused, and continued, “The lives of these people… they don’t matter. If situations demand it, they’re just instruments for us to achieve a greater cause. In order for the world to advance, someone needs to wake up and make the tough decisions and damn all consequences.” Liam and Jack stared at him, horrified by the word
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
