The Ingenious Liam Price 128: Death
Liam staggered backward and bumped into a wall when the doctor removed the white counterpane, revealing Sinclair's dead body. It felt like a dream to him as he watched everything unfolding right before his eyes. Liam's throat tightened with several emotions that it felt like his world was falling apart.His heart rose in his chest and slammed against his ribcage as his knees gave out underneath him and he dropped to the floor. He could barely feel anything. He felt totally numb while he was still processing things until something struck him hard like a bolt of lightning.For a few seconds, he forgot what it felt like to have air flow freely into someone's lungs. His mouth parted so he could catch his breath, but he used it for something else. "No!" Liam's cry was enough to shred down walls as his large body trembled along with him."He's not dead, dammit!" Liam jammed his fist into his palm."I am so sorry, Mr. Price, but he's not alive anymore. He was driving home with Doctor Re
The Ingenious Liam Price 129: Gone Too Soon
It turned out Sinclair was the only child of his struggling single mother. Amanda Jacobs was still grieving her son after his coffin was lowered into the grave and covered with mud. It was a hot Friday afternoon, exactly two days after the accident and the funeral attendants had withdrawn to the small apartment to console Sinclair's mother.Liam could barely even look her right in the eyes because he was filled with self-hatred, blaming himself for the cause of Sinclair's death because if Sinclair hadn't worked for him from the onset, he would have been alive.Avery was there too, along with Big Tony. They were all dressed in black to pay tribute to the boy who was like a younger brother to them. No one saw his death coming, he was fit and well until the accident. And even though Amanda showed her gratitude to Liam for funding the funeral, Liam still felt it wasn't enough. There was this hole boring into his chest the more he thought about Sinclair. He could feel the boy's presence t
The Ingenious Liam Price 130: Helping Sinclair's Mom
"You really shouldn't do this," Sinclair's mother interjected with a sigh. Because Avery told her they'd help tidy the place before leaving."We can't leave you out here to clean up alone," Avery replied, standing just two feet away from her.The sound of a broom brushing against the floor could be heard. It was Liam. He had already taken his suit jacket, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and was sweeping off the dirt made by the guests.He knew he couldn't leave without helping in the littlest way that he could. He had it in mind to give Sinclair's mother some money, but he wanted to bring himself down to do some chores for her, so she wouldn't think of him as a typical rich man who spoke with money.Big Tony was clearing the tables, removing leftovers, and dumping them into a nearby trash bin.No one asked him to do this, but upon seeing Liam set to work, he knew he had to involve himself."It's okay to visit but you don't have to work, I can clean up the mess by myself," Amanda w
The Ingenious Liam Price 131: First Time Murder Attempt
They were leaving Amanda's apartment when Liam received a call from Detective Maverick asking him to come over to the police station."Who's that?" Avery was curious"No one, Big Tony will take you home," Liam said, avoiding her gaze."Why?" Avery frowned a little."I have somewhere to go," Liam forced these words out of his throat."I want to come with you," Avery disagreed."No, it's late," Liam sighed as he shifted his gaze to meet hers, "You should get home already, you've done too much for the day.""Let me come with you, Liam," Avery's hand was already on his arm as her brow etched in worry, "This might seem dangerous.""No, it's not at all. Don't be afraid, no one will hurt me," Liam wiggled his hand from her hold.And Avery reluctantly agreed at last. So Big Tony took over the driver's seat while she sat in the shotgun.Liam waited until her car was out of sight before he hopped into his own car and drove to the station, completely wondering why Detective Maverick of all peopl
The Ingenious Liam Price 132: Under Arrest
"Don't do this Liam, you're not a murderer," Avery implored upon seeing how his grip on the gun was tight."Sinclair would still be alive if not for him," Liam was already in tears, upon recalling how Sinclair's death took place."I know, but just put the gun down," Avery neared his side, tearing up as well because she didn't want Liam to stain his hands with someone's blood. Seeing how he was at that moment made her feel as if she was on top of eggshells because she could barely recognize him.'Put the gun down, boss,' Big Tony made sure he was standing where Liam could see him before he signed."I can't," Liam shook his head."You haven't killed anyone before, don't let this be your first," Avery wanted him to listen to her."Stay out of this, Avery, and you too, Tony," Liam warned. His gun was still right in the face of a trembling Jeffery.And Avery knew she couldn't let him ruin his life."You're not in your right state of mind," she said calmly."Shut up!" Liam roared.And Avery
The Ingenious Liam Price 133: Unfiltered Truth
'You're staying in jail for two months?' Big Tony had a shocked expression on his face."Yes, but not here. I'll get transferred somewhere else." Liam replied. It was hours after he had been taken back into his cold cell and Big Tony had come to visit him with food and some fresh clothes."I don't think I'll be needing that, they'll give me a prison uniform by tomorrow." Liam pointed at the clothes that were already on the floor outside his cell.'No, it can't be.' Big Tony shook his head stubbornly."There's nothing else I can do, Tony. I attempted murder and so I should face whatever punishment is given to me." Liam added.'You know you can't bribe your way out of this, boss.' Big Tony signed."Avery already contacted her boss, he spoke with the police higher-ups and they decided to give me two months," Liam informed Big Tony and then wondered how life in prison would be for him. He had heard scary tales of men being raped and just that thought sent shivers down his spine. He knew h
The Ingenious Liam Price 134: To Take His Place
"I tried my best, Liam," Avery's demeanor was unwavering but Liam knew it was to mask up how sad she felt for him."I know you did, you've always been helpful from the onset," Liam smiled a little. It was evening when Avery came to visit him."Two months is no biggie, right?" Avery shrugged a little, trying to make him feel less bad about himself, "You can endure the harsh treatment until you're out.""Don't worry about me too much, Avery. I'm not dying, just going to jail for two months," Again, Liam gave her a tight-lipped smile. He dreaded going to jail but he knew he would not make it known to her, since she was a woman and he needed to be a man."Two months can make you a different person," Avery pointed out after examining Liam."I'll change for the better and notworseworst. I am being sent there to be taught a lesson and not to be a horrible person," Liam pushed his fingers through his hair and sighed.Unblinking, Avery nodded."The second trailer driver was also arrested, and
The Ingenious Liam Price 135: Seeing Him Off
"Sign here," Avery instructed and Liam obliged, still it was a struggle to get his signature on the paper since his hands were still in cuffs."And here," she pointed at the far end of the document, and Liam signed."It's all set," she said."All set," Liam repeated after her. It was a document Avery had created overnight, something that legally involved Liam passing his rights over to her to take his place while he was away. A few other people at the Price Enterprise had already signed earlier before Avery arrived at the police station.Liam handed the documents back to Avery. And when she took it from him, she didn't back away. She held his gaze for some time. Her face was frigid like an iceberg but her eyes betrayed her. Liam could see the way tears were threatening to take over, and at the same time, she kept blinking.Gibson shoved a piece of paper into Liam's hands and then stepped backward.This came as a surprise because Liam never expected anything from his former butler. He
