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. She had heard his footsteps.He stopped in his tracks as he let his eyes access her. She was still in the hospital uniform, and he was certain she was clad in bandages. And her eyes…Her eyes were trouble-free."You're here," Avery examined his face, unblinking.Liam felt his words getting shoved
Arthur won the Olympic swimming tournament. His swimming coach wanted to have someone else fill in for his spot until he showed up and he was allowed to participate. The boy of seventeen was put in the Guinness Book of Records afterward, and he was more than glad that Liam came for him. If Liam hadn't taken them out of that slums in the suburbs, he would have missed the game and the medals would have been given to someone who wasn't him. He was seen as a star by everyone, even his siblings had cheered so hard for him. Except Liam wasn't present. Arthur didn't blame him though, still, it hurt to know that they weren't truly brothers.However, Charlotte found them when it was all over. They were heading towards the car to meet with Big Tony who was already waiting for them, that was when the woman who they had been trying to avoid, blocked their path."Mother?" Georgie's voice was shaky as he looked at her."We don't want you here, just leave us alone," Beatrice was the first to growl,
Along with Avery's suggestions, Liam merged his own ideas and came up with what he felt was the best plan for the anniversary. While he was at this, his mind kept drifting back to Avery. A few hours after he left her ward, he received a call from the hospital that she had checked out of it.'The kids have been kidnapped.' Big Tony signed immediately after he went into the house."What? How did that happen?" Liam's eyes welled up in their sockets upon hearing this from his butler.'It was after Authur's game, they were all kidnapped by their mother.' Big Tony signed in response. He was still standing in front of the door."Oh," that was all Liam could say. Charlotte had finally taken them against their will and there was nothing he could do about it. At least, Arthur participated and won the game. Thankfully things went well, if Georgie hadn't texted him, they would have remained stuck there and Arthur would've missed his game.He guessed it was over with the kids then. He needn't be
The Price Hotel's two-decade anniversary came at last. It was a big day for Liam since everything rested on his shoulders, he was to host the whole event. Something he hadn't done before so it seemed as though he had reached his ceiling point, but with help from Avery's recording, he was able to sail through and made the event a different one from every other one hosted by his father.Liam invited top celebrities and artistes to perform and grace the hotel with their presence and performance. The entire hall was filled with guests and employees awaiting for the event to begin and Liam had never felt so proud of himself before. He had hosted a totally different type of event from his father's."Everyone, welcome to the Price Hotels' Twentieth anniversary. It's such an honor to have you here," Liam addressed the crowd the moment he climbed up the stage, with his macromic fixated at the corner of his mouth.People applaud Liam upon seeing him looking neatly and sharply dressed in an exp
Liam kept trailing after this person until he found himself in a dark room. He didn't like the way that he felt but he was still man enough to not break into a sweat. He tried to put on the lights through the switch at his side, but it was futile because the lights were already ruined. The place even had this choking smell of fuel.Upon hearing the clicking of the door, Liam knew he had been trapped inside the dark room. "We meet again after twenty long years, Liam," the voice of the man rang out and at this, Liam knew it was Triple M and not a different person. His heart dropped in his stomach, because he felt like a five-year-old again, the one who was tortured by the brute of a man.Triple M put on a lighter and Liam finally saw his face. The middle-aged man looked murderous like a beast. On his left hand was a fuel gallon and in the middle of the hotel room sat a chair with ropes.Liam took an unsteady gulp because this felt like Deja Vu. The floor of the room was slippery beca
Triple M had already tied Liam to the chair, after giving him several punches to make him weak. Liam had sustained a broken nose and a torn lip, from the heavy blows he received from the middle-aged brute."You don't have to do this, just let me go," Liam's voice was groggy because he was going through anguish, and the exact way he was tied gave him flashbacks of what happened twenty years ago. He could feel his heart thudding in his chest."I want everything you have, Liam," growled Triple M, as he surrounded Liam, pouring him more fuel. He could do this because the flashlight of his phone was already turned on."Give me the three hundred billion dollars you have and I'll let you go."Despite Liam's predicament, his eyes widened in their sockets because the money-gobbling ex-convict just requested more than enough of the money his late father left for him."I don't have such an amount of money," Liam said, something which wasn't even a lie."Sell your house and your properties and ad
Liam's unconscious body was rushed to the Price hospital at last. The event couldn't carry on anymore because of what happened to him, people were even spreading rumors that he was dead. While Triple M had already been caught by the CIA, after being beaten to a pulp by Big Tony. It was Avery who called them to come pick him up.Back at the hospital, the doctors were attending to Liam. They put him in a coma because he couldn't breathe fine on his own. Both Avery and Stevie-Lou were outside Liam's ward. Quiet and staring at Liam through the window. None of them had spoken to each other, they just stood there watching the man they both cared for in their own way. Avery didn't look good enough, she needed to rest because she was still recuperating from the bullet wounds she sustained. But she still stood there, waiting for Liam to wake up from that bed. It hurt to see him like that, when he was only doing the things he felt were right and then someone wanted to set him on fire.Avery
"Who sent you?"Triple M didn't even respond to this, instead, he glared at Sinclair and was confronted with a punch from Big Tony."Answer me!" Sinclair thundered. He had returned from the hospital and wanted answers.Triple M burst into boisterous laughter like a maniac. His face was already puffy and his nose broken from the beatings he had received from Big Tony, still, he could laugh."He should pass for a psycho," one man muttered. He was also a CIA.'Let's submerge his head in a sink full of water and then he'll get talking.' Big Tony suggestedAnd Triple M, who didn't understand sign language, was confused.Within a few minutes, someone brought a huge bowl full of water. It was dirty as if someone had washed muddy boots in it. Four pairs of hands pulled Triple M from the chair and dipped his head in the water for over thirty seconds. Triple M struggled and tried to free himself but he could not since four men were already holding and restraining him. It was torturous to dri
