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

Liam was at the amusement park construction site when he received a call from the hospital that Avery Duffer had woken up and she asked to see him.It was good news, she was up quicker than he expected. Something which gave out that she had always been a fighter. He went to the hospital in a hurry, didn't even wait for the car to stop properly before he jumped out of it and ran all the way to her ward.All he kept thinking about was Avery, he dreaded and anticipated seeing her at the same time. After everything she had suffered in the past few days, she was finally awake.Upon reaching there, Liam was almost short of breath when he pushed the door open and found her managing to sit upright.

And her eyes…Her eyes were trouble-free."You're here," Avery examined his face, unblinking.Liam felt his words getting shoved
