Liam didn't return home that night, he stayed at the hospital until he was allowed to go into Avery's ward and there, he could see her laying on the hospital bed with a breathing tube connected to her mouth. Doctor Wesley told him it would take her a long time for her to wake up, some days or even weeks, still, it was enough for Liam as long as she was alive.Still, it hurt to see her that way. She was all alone. No parent, siblings, or even lover, or they would've shown up after hearing the news. Liam could still recall the first time she met with him, it was at his father's funeral when she approached him and introduced herself, before suggesting they work together. He refused to trust her, thought everything about her was suspicious since she was too smart for her own good.A dull pain spread through Liam's chest at this.While sitting on the chair next to her hospital bed, Liam slipped her pale cold hand in his. There was never a time he did something for Avery, or even used his
"Do something, help me find my kids!" Charlotte's yell was enough to pull eyes to her right outside the Price Hotel. She just returned from the hotelier's office, where she had threatened to burn down the whole place if they didn't release her kids to her."We're sorry, ma'am. But they already left last week," the middle-aged doorman put his hands right behind him as a sign of respect as he spoke to Charlotte."What do you mean by that?" She drew closer to his side."I saw them leaving," the man said. "Where to?" Charlotte asked with wide eyes. She could barely believe the kids hadn't been at the hotel for a week."I'm afraid I don't know." He stared at his feet this time."Were they accompanied by anyone? Liam?" Charlotte "Oh, you mean our boss? No. I saw them take a cab and leave."Charlotte was frustrated, her kids hadn't come home to her for a week and it was eating her up. She had no idea where they went, she couldn't even focus on her hate for Liam when they had left and refuse
'We should go eat,' Big Tony signed at Liam."I'm not hungry," Liam responded with a sigh.'Still, you need something in your stomach…you'll be tired by tomorrow.' Big Tony stated the obvious, upon seeing how exhausted Liam already looked."Just go away, Tony." Liam waved him off, clearly not in the mood to talk.Big Tony walked until he was standing in front of Liam. He knew he couldn't leave just like that when his boss needed someone by his side."What are you doing, do you want to fight me or something?" Liam finally looked at him, wondering why he was in his front like that. Big Tony could be stubborn at times and did things of his own will.'Your face does look punchable but then you're my boss and I can't hit you.' Big Tony signed.Liam scoffed to himself and put his hand over his mouth as he looked at Big Tony. The man was acting like the big brother and friend he never had. None of his employees had spoken this way to him before."You're really persistent, aren't you?" Liam a
After handing the man over to the cops, Liam and Big Tony went back to the hospital, where they found doctors and nurses outside Avery's ward, looking completely perplexed as if something happened.Without asking any questions, Liam rushed into Avery's ward and found the bed empty, even her breathing tube was on the floor.Big Tony came in as well and stiffened when he saw the patient's bed empty with the patient kissing.Liam's heart dropped in his stomach as he rushed out."What's going on, where is she?" Liam was almost out of breath when he questioned the doctor."While you two were away, someone came under a disguise as me and took the patient out of her ward," Doctor Wesley even felt ashamed as he broke the news to Liam."What do you mean by that?" Liam neared the doctor's side, wanting the man to repeat what he just said."Someone just kidnapped the patient." Liam paused for a moment to let his brain properly align what he just heard from the doctor's mouth.Was this some sort
It was 4:55 AM when Liam received a text message from an unknown sender. He hadn't even slept a wink since Avery was kidnapped last night. It was impossible for him to fall asleep upon knowing someone was out there, suffering all for his sake. Someone who was still with fresh bullet wounds.After reading through the text message, he slipped his phone back into his pocket and clenched his fists so hard until they cracked. It was Avery's kidnapper who texted him their location and asked him to meet them at a seashore, or they'd drown her body.Things were getting even worse, Liam feared that they had already killed her and were just playing games with him because they wanted to kill him too.He had never been in such a tight position before. It felt like he was close to meeting his downfall, after all, the nightmare which haunted him was manifesting in a different way. Because Sinclair switched off his phone and Liam didn't want anyone else to suffer for his sake, he just left witho
"You're quite powerless now, aren't you? Trying to bribe your way past death," However, the gang leader's eyes betrayed him."Hundred million dollars." Liam topped it with another fifty million."Fuck," someone was alarmed enough to curse. Because they were paid just five hundred thousand dollars and here, Liam Price was offering them a whooping Hundred million dollars? It felt too good to be true."Let us go," Liam's voice was firm as he pointed at Avery, "she needs proper treatment from the bullet wounds you gave her yesterday.""We were only following instructions, some of us have families to feed." Said the oldest."Thirty-three million, three hundred and thirty thousand dollars for each person, and then you can stop working for Hunter Gail.""How can we tell if this isn't a joke and you called the cops on us," the leader asked."No one knows I'm here," Liam said and it wasn't even a lie."We can't trust you enough to believe you're saying the truth," the second man chipped in."
Stevie-Lou tried to reach out to Liam once more but it was to no avail. Something which was utterly upsetting because he never acted this way until yesterday.His phone kept going on voicemail and it seemed as though he was ignoring her, so she went straight to the Price Enterprise at noon, clad in her warehouse uniform.She was determined to meet with him whether he liked it or not because she felt he had no right to treat her that way when she cared deeply for him.It was Big Tony who came out to meet her when she showed up at his office.'Where is your boss?' Stevie-Lou was too upset to speak so she made use of sign language instead.'He's too busy at the moment, he can't see anyone,' Big Tony signed back. But it seemed as though he knew something she didn't.'Why has he been avoiding me, it's giving me the wrong impression about him.' Stevie-Lou signed, hoping for an honest answer from Big Tony. 'Something came up.''I need to speak with him, it's important.''Then you should wai
Unedited (Will Be fixed Within Twenty-four hours)Beatrice and her siblings had been away from home right from the day they learned the truth about their mother and Hunter.And right after they figured Liam wasn't their brother and they weren't Brandon Price's children.It hurt to even think about it since the grew up lovinh Brandon, and took him as their father.

But he was already broken so he couldn't even go.Life was hard for them there, Beatrice came up with the decision not to touch the money left in their accounts since it never belonged to them anyway, Brandon Price wasn't their father and they weren't his children.So they lived on canne
