THE VENGEFUL HEIR Liam's Attack
As soon as those words fell, Mia’s eyes widened in shock. If she had any idea that the man was going to ask her that, she never would have offered to help. She shifted her gaze to Victor, hoping he’d be able to help her out of this situation, but Victor remained quiet, looking straight ahead.At this point, Mia was in great despair as she finally realized that even her family meant nothing to the Salerno’s.With that realization, she was filled with horror, not sure what was going to happen now. She knew Will wouldn’t take no for an answer, not this time around.When Will saw her hesitancy, he could already tell what her response was going to be, so he slowly turned around, staring triumphantly at Victor who shot his gaze away the whole time.“Looks like you won’t be coming to her rescue this time Victor, I wonder why that is,” Will said and chuckled mockingly as Victor stood helpless.He then turned towards Mia and snapped his fingers, ordering his men, “Take her, she’s coming with
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Dead Man Walking
Liam turned slowly, facing Will. If only the pompous bastard knew who he truly was, he would know that his family’s influence and power were not even close to a fraction of the power he held.To him, the Salerno family were mere street thugs whom he could easily control.With this, he walked towards Will who kept sneering and pouring threats at him and without any hesitation, kicked him several times, including a kick to his crotch, tired of hearing the man’s irritating voice.Will screamed in pain, cupping his crotch, and immediately went quiet.Everyone who saw this froze in fear, terrified of the consequences of Liam’s actions. The mad acted like he was either mad or had a death wish. “Won’t you divorce him now?!” Victor’s voice echoed, “He’s clearly gone mad! And he’s going to take you and your family down with him except you end this now.” He added, trying to convince Mia, who seemed even more confused.“I don’t think it’s in your place to worry about what happens to my wife or
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Negotiation
Mia felt a heavy downcast as she returned home from the Banquet. She had hoped to secure an alliance with the Young family but ended up damning her family to the Salernos wrath.Immediately she walked through the door of the living room, Melissa snapped, marching furiously towards her,“What on earth came over you and made you offend the Salerno family?!” Melissa snarled, her hands resting on her hips as she demanded an explanation.Mia’s eyes widened in shock as she stuttered. It had barely been thirty minutes since the incident happened. How did the news reach her family already?Suddenly her eyes narrowed as she spotted Yona in the background, and even without asking, knew she somehow had something to do with it.“What are we going to do now? Of all people to cross, you offended Manu Salerno. We’re all dead. What have you done Mia?” Melissa paced around frantically, occasionally darting her gaze towards Mia, who stood silently, not sure what to say or do at this time.Her only hope
THE VENGEFUL HEIR A Stand-Off
Mia instantly sobered up the moment she heard Manu’s words. She froze in fear, afraid to move, and gulped heavily.‘He wants me to do what?!’ The words replayed in her head, terrifying her even more.But just then, Manu leaned away, turned around, and stood beside her.His expression suddenly darkened, “Since you and Liam decided to my family’s lineage by causing my boy to become infertile, you’re going to sleep with everyone in my gang. That’s going to be your punishment Miss Stevens, and it’s the only way we can be even. But as for your friend, there’s no negotiating what I’ll do to him. He’s a dead man to me.”At that time, Mia slowly realized that coming here alone was a mistake. She hoped that Manu would be civil and take the money, but now she could see just how wrong she was.However, she tried to maintain her composure, suddenly realizing the danger she was in, and knew she had to leave in a coordinated way. She picked up her phone and pressed it to her ear, pretending to be o
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Rescued
Although a bit shaken, Manu could not show his fear. He knew Jack Gunter’s presence here was going to pose a challenge, but he couldn’t just let Liam slip away after what he’d done to his Will.Clenching his fist, Manu stepped forward, meeting Jack’s intense stare with a sharp and piercing one,“I don’t know why you’re here Jack, but I’ll advise you to step away. This is not your business.”Jack broke his stare and quickly scanned the room, “It very much is. You see, Liam is one of my acquaintances and I’m not walking out of here without him.”Manu became frustrated, and sneered, “You think I’m afraid of you? This is my house! You’re in my jurisdiction.”He turned away with his hands in his pockets, and then suddenly stopped, “You don’t want a war with me Jack, you’re just an outsider. And if you do anything reckless here today, I will get Peter Nelson and we will retaliate with everything we have.”“I’m sure you’ve heard of their reputations. They’re after all heads of the three bigg
THE VENGEFUL HEIR New Master
Liam remained frozen, watching as Mia walked away. He wanted to stop her and tell her that he was responsible for everything that happened here today but figured there was no point.Mia and her family had made it clear that he was not trusted, but still, he decided to stay behind and make sure Manu did not retaliate.He was familiar with men like them, and though Jack Gunter had shown up and prevented a bloodbath today, sooner or later, Manu would retaliate. With that flowing in his mind, Liam decided he had to make sure Manu didn’t get that chance.He turned and walked back towards the Salerno mansion, and as the guards saw him approach, they tried to block, but he effortlessly knocked them out, heading straight to find Manu.However, at this time, one of the guards had quickly tripped the alarm system, notifying the other estate securities and just as Liam walked into the grand hall of the mansion, he was quickly surrounded by more than a dozen guards.“Where’s your boss?” Liam ask
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Laura
Laura’s eyes widened in shock when Liam spoke. How was she going to lead an entire gang and handle the affairs of the grand estate? She wondered, staring at Liam wordlessly. She had only wanted to get revenge for herself and her mother and never imagined she’d be running the empire of the man who wrecked her life.Suddenly, at that point, something else occurred to her. Who was this man, and how could he just appoint her to run Manu’s gang and empire?“Who are you?” She asked with curiosity. However, Liam ignored her and reached into his pocket, retrieved the personal phone he used to communicate with Jack, and handed it to her, “Call this number. He’ll handle everything for you.”“You’re going to have to be careful Laura, Manu might be dead, but you’re still at much risk.”Laura’s face twisted with worry, “What do you mean?” She asked dreadfully.Liam heaved a deep sigh, hesitating for a while. He did not know whether involving the girl in any of this seemed right, however, the mo
THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Mansion Infiltration
Liam knew that with Jack’s help, Laura would become the master of the Salerno family, which would expand his control over the underground mafia and mobs.As he was about to leave, Manu’s phone suddenly rang causing him to stop midstrife.He turned slowly towards the direction, his curiosity rising. Laura stepped closer to Manu’s body, searched his pockets for the phone, and brought it out. “Answer it,” Liam said.Hesitantly, Laura raised the phone to her ear, her hand trembling, and answered,“Manu, it’s Peter Carpi. I know we agreed to meet much later, but I’m running out of time and need that $5 million loan. The market is even more cruel than I anticipated.”Immediately, Luara placed the call on hold, unsure of what to say, and turned towards Liam, “It’s Peter Carpi.”As soon as Liam heard the name, his eyes narrowed in curiosity. He stepped closer to her with a stern expression causing Laura to become uncomfortable,“What does he want?”“$5 million,” Laura answered.Liam’s eyes

I'm the heir
After waiting patiently for a few moments, the gates finally swung open and the security guard ushered Lord David in. As the man walked into the building, his eyes widened in shock. The entire mansion was crawling with tons of security men and exotic cars. If Lord David didn’t already know Liam, he would have sworn this mansion belonged to one of the top families in the city. Shortly after he entered the building, Laura quickly approached him and when Lord David saw her, his eyes flashed in recognition, “You,” he paused, staring at her inquisitively, “Are you working with Liam?” He asked. Laura however did not answer his question. She flashed him a soft smile and gestured toward the front entrance of the building, “He’s waiting for you inside.”Lord David glanced around the mansion again and was filled with more confusion. He could tell that this building was worth at least a hundred million dollars. At this time, his mind recollected when Liam gave him that card. He had assured him
Facing The Truth
Lord David now had strong suspicions about Liam’s identity. No one, not even the Young family had the authority or influence to do what Liam just did. There was something about his best friend’s grandson that did not just come from courage. Although he was fairly certain that Liam was more than he put on, Lord David was determined to uncover the secret of his true identity. Without wasting any time, called his butler, gave him an address, and left the mansion. He knew exactly where to check for Liam. Although he’d been friends with Shawn for years, David had never bothered to visit Shawn at his home here in the city. He knew that if there was anywhere Liam would be through all of this, it would be at the Moran’s family house.The drive to Shawn’s home was filled with anticipation and curiosity. Lord David, although determined, did not know what he was going to do when he confirmed his suspicions. This whole thing had become more difficult for a man his age to keep in control. Realizi
Who should save the family
“What?!” Lord David exclaimed, reading the news headline again.The rest of the family quickly pulled out their phones and glanced at the screen. Yona was so shocked that her phone fell to the ground. She stood in utter shock, trying to process this.Every news channel carried the news, circulating Peter’s involvement in illegal activities, his ruthless business strategies which have forced a lot of small companies out of business, and ultimately his attempts to repeat the same thing with the the Steven’s company.Mia stood frozen in place. Somehow she suspected that Liam had something to do with this, and so decided to check the report for any clue. She scrolled towards the bottom of the page to check the journalist that wrote this and immediately she saw the name, her eyes widened in extreme shock.‘Chloe?’ She muttered inwardly, trying to wrap her head around this. She knew Chloe was determined to uncover Peter’s secrets and publish them for the world to see, but she hadn’t actuall
Family Meeting
“This is the main reason why these things are happening to this family. We are divided and struggling within ourselves when we should be working together for the best of the company and the family. And all this for what? Just so one of you can become the next head of the family?!” He paused, shifting a sharp gaze across the room.“I’m very disappointed in everyone in this room, and you can be rest assured that none of you are fit to lead this family.” Lord David added, “Do you think that I built this company, struggling with anyone for it?” He asked and without waiting for an answer, quickly added,“I labored, sweated, and endured so much so that you all can stand here today, but none of you have ever shown the same dedication towards making this company better and now thanks to you, I’ve lost everything I spent my entire life laboring for.”“Why are we standing around here when the person that we should be holding responsible is out there moving freely? We should call the cops right
She’s Perfect For It
“We are going to use the media to expose him,” Liam said with a mischievous smile. “This whole time, Peter has been the one using the media for his ambitions and stirring problems for us in the media. Since he wants to play that way, then I think we should give him a taste of his medicine,” he said and immediately shifted his gaze to Jack, “I want everything you have on Peter Nelson all over the media in the next hour.”Jack remained frozen the whole time, trying to process everything Liam said. Although he felt dreadful about stirring Peter up, he couldn’t refuse an order from Liam either. “I’ll talk to some journalist and get this going.” Jack replied, but Liam quickly cut him off, “No, no. I don’t think that is necessary. I already know the perfect person to use for this.” He said, his lips curving slowly,“Do you remember the journalist I asked you to look into?” Liam asked, staring directly at Jack.“Use her, “ he added before getting a response. “I think if we give Miss Chloe s
Flipping The Cards
After the call, Liam heaved a tired sigh and started walking towards the door. He felt tired and just wanted to finish dealing with all of this, but it seemed that as he finished with one problem, another one opened up.However, he knew he’d have to be ready for what he must do if the Tribunal chose not to support him. Although he knew their power still did not match his, they could pose an obstruction to him and make things harder for him.Suddenly, his phone buzzed. Liam thought it was Jack, but as he retrieved it, he saw a string of news flashes.Intrigued, he glanced at the screen and he froze instantly when he saw the notifications.It seemed that Carl had already informed Peter that he had been kicked out of the company. The Nelson group had just launched a hostile takeover of the Steven’s Group. Liam clenched his fist till his knuckles almost turned white. Peter had just called him out with this hostile takeover. At this time, Liam planned to show Peter Nelson just who he was
Drawing Sides
Melissa was shocked when Liam defended her. After everything that she had done to him, he was the last person she thought would come to her rescue. Liam shot her a knowing look and walked in between her and Lord David, “You know what I’m saying is right Sir, we can’t focus on what needs to be done about Carl, if you’re thinking of what your daughter almost did.” Lord David stood quietly, reflecting on Liam’s words. After a while, he heaved a deep sigh and turned towards Melissa, “He’s right, but I’m very disappointed in you Melissa. You’re supposed to know better than that.” Lord David scolded.“How will the rest of the family react to this and more importantly, what do we do about Carl? He’s behaving like an outlaw and we can’t allow such wildness in our family amid all the internet bashing we’re going through,” he paused, drawing a deep breath, “He can’t work at the company anymore. He’s become a liability and threat to this family and I need everyone to see the gravity of his acti
To Melissa's Rescue
The crowd gasped again when Carl fell flat on the floor. They were so stunned at Liam’s quick maneuver and strength. With just one strike, he knocked Carl out like he was a child.They shifted back unconsciously, watching Liam with fear and apprehension. Liam could see the dreadful looks on their faces, and even Lord David was stunned. Although what he did was not so incredible, he knew that it didn’t look easy. He had just gotten fed up with Carl's nuisances and decided to put him out cold, at least for a few minutes. “I’m sorry about that, everyone. This is a work environment, but it seemed Carl had forgotten that as well.” He said, and just then some security officers that Lord David had called arrived, quickly approaching Carl. They jacked him up and started dragging him towards the exit of the room, Carl regained his consciousness just then and slowly blinked open his eyes to see himself being dragged out.He started resisting, kicking, and trying to break free of the man’s grip
Fired
“I’ve made up my on what to do,” he said and shifted his attention back to the crowd. “First I want to sincerely apologize to everyone here. I can’t help thinking some of this is my fault. I’m the one who brought Carl into this family and company. If it wasn’t for me, he wouldn’t be here and the damages he’s caused us wouldn’t have happened. For that, I’ll take full responsibility for all the losses incurred by everyone on this board.” Hearing this, Liam stepped forward, trying to interrupt him,“Sir, are you sure about…” he started to speak, but Lord David interrupted him, stopping him mid-sentence.“I know that even though we are a family here, we all still have our own individual families and a member of mine has disrupted things in yours,” he paused, shifting his gaze to Carl. Carl held his gaze down, ashamed to look at Lord Steven now.“That is why I’m going to pay off all personal debts incurred by what my in-law has done, and in return, I ask that none of you should take up a
