It was the following day when a nurse announced to Avery and Stevie-lou that Liam was awake when the two of them sprinted into the room at once. They had to wait until they slept outside and it was finally morning before they were allowed to see Liam. Liam who had managed to sit upright was stunned to see the two of them together. He had a cast on his neck and his face was still puffy despite some parts of it had been stitched over the night. He was in pain but was surprised that Stevie-lou was still in the same dress from last night. And Avery was there."Oh, my god. Liam," Stevie-lou sank on her knees when she reached his side and touched him. She was suddenly emotional to see his face looking different, and upon remembering what she heard from Avery last night. "I'm so sorry you have to go through this, I'm sorry for being insensitive and stupid, I should've been more mature..it just hurts to know you were trying to protect me this entire time," Stevie-lou sobbed as she put her f
"You're not in the right position to do this," Sinclair persisted."Let me, I won't take long," Liam said.They had gone to the police station later that evening.Sinclair finally moved out of the way so Liam could step right ahead of him. Liam clenched his jaw to refrain from wincing in pain as he took one footstep after the other. He was trying as much as he could to walk straightly since the pain was getting the best of him already.He finally stopped in front of the cell.A seventy-two years old man with graying hair was seen sitting on the cold cemented floor, with his head tipped up to the ceiling as if he was lost in his thoughts. He was still wearing his suit from yesterday, something which was completely wrinkled.Liam could've pitied him, except this man was after his life."Uncle," Liam's voice stirred up a shudder in Benjamin Price. He wasn't expecting to hear that voice, talk more or see that person whom he had thought was at the hospital.Benjamin Price's eyes were holl
The next person whom Liam went to was Triple M. The middle-aged man was already holding onto the bars of his cell, pondering over his actions when he saw Liam there.He wasn't expecting to see the young man whom he beat until he passed out. The occurrence was late evening of the previous day, yet it wasn't even up to twenty-four hours and Liam was there in front of him, with a cast on his neck and a stitch on his nose."You," Triple M growled."How long has it been since you were illegally released from prison? A week or less?" Liam deliberately did this to irk him. Before he got there, he hardened his heart because just at the mere sight of Triple M revived past traumas."I wish I had killed you when I had the chance to," Triple M's hate for Liam was already visible on his face."You know, this is your favorite phrase for me. You were paid off to kill me but greediness made you prolong things, you wanted my wealth. Something you never knew about how it came in the first place," Liam
The news of the kids not being Brandon's spread through the whole city like wildlife, and to think it was Liam who had asked the Press corps to interview him when he went live. He even went to the extent of showing them the genetic test results. People were bemused to find out that all three children were Hunters and not even one belonged to Brandon Price, save for Liam whose mother was different and he already looked like the younger version of his father.Charlotte nearly fainted and the kids were heartbroken with the way Liam disclosed the truth. They never expected him of all people to do it.***Liam was remorseless the whole time he was interviewed and when it all ended, he watched them make their way out of his home. They were pleased to have had a session with him and he in turn had delivered juicy news that could last for months.'I like this new you,' Big Tony followed Liam into his workspace."It's how I should've been a long time ago, this is just the start of my madness
Benjamin Price was rushed to the hospital but that didn't mean he was liberated. Two policemen were still outside his hospital ward and despite him being in a coma, his right hand was still chained to the bed, so he wouldn't use any means to escape if he hurt himself. Liam who had overheard this didn't feel any form of remorse for the old man, he was starting to harden his heart towards each and every one of his enemies. "He's yet to wake up from a coma and the trial is in two days," Sinclair informed Liam the following day at his office.Liam drummed his fingers on his desk and clenched his jaw. He seemed to be extremely grumpy and in a sour mood."Last time, I called the prosecutor that I was willing to drop charges, so Charlotte was freed from the cell because she was yet to be exposed for my father's murder. Now this is different, I'll meet my uncle in court even if they'll have to bring him to the court gallery through a stretcher.""What if he dies?" Sinclair raised his brows.
Liam could barely believe his ears."Are you out of your damn mind?" He questioned with his eyes widened in their sockets. Chloe left her side of the table and walked until she was standing beside him."You're the baby's father, Liam. I'm telling the truth," there was honesty in her eyes or perhaps she was faking it."For goodness sake, you were cheating on me with Valante!" Liam pointed out, slamming his fist against his desk. His life was complicated and now Chloe was dare, making it known to him that she was carrying the child."What the fuck!" He cursed loudly, something which he had been doing a lot lately."I met Valante three months ago, okay!?" Chloe almost yelled. She even had the audacity to glare at Liam."Still, you could meet with other men behind my back because it was easier to cheat on me since I had nothing.""Just stop, okay! You can't reject this baby," it seemed as though Chloe was unwilling to back out of this like she had come fully prepared.Shaking his head, L
"What is so important that you couldn't tell me over the phone?" Avery held her chin up when she opened the door to Liam. Liam waited for her to move away so he could make his way into the apartment."My ex-girlfriend just told me she's pregnant,""Who, Stevie-Lou?" To say Avery Duffer was shocked was an understatement, her eyes were as huge as saucers as she stiffened."No, it's the first one. Chloe," Liam said with a low sigh as he tugged off his tie."How in the world is that even possible? Did you touch her?" Avery could barely believe her ears. She hesitated before slamming the door shut. "No, I haven't. We already broke up before my true identity was revealed.""Then what the fuck is going on?" Avery asked no one in particular."She fought her way into my office late this morning, forced a pregnancy test result in my face, and claimed I am the father." Liam provided."I thought you said she left you for someone else?""She started cheating on me with him three months ago, the
Stevie-lou was at her workplace when she was told someone had arrived to see her, so she paused from doing her business and immediately went out to find out who it really was.She gasped when she saw the last person who she was expecting to see during that hour."What are you doing here?" She managed to ask after getting a grip on herself."We need to go," Liam closed the distance between them."Why and where?" Stevie-lou couldn't help but ask because the last time she remembered, he wanted a break from their relationship. Seeing him there was just so refreshing to her heart."Just come with me," Liam took hold of her wrist and offered her a genuine smile. He was paying heed to Avery's advice."But I still have some work to do, I'm not even close to finishing," Stevie-lou pointed at her colleagues who were moving loads and loads of cartons.Liam chuckled and waved this off."To help with that job, I could get you another one since you've refused to work for me." He found himself sayin
