'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
"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
"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
"Take this money," Avery held out a cheque of $1,000,000 to Chloe when they hopped into the car. True to Avery's words earlier, Chloe had waited for her."Why, did Liam ask you to pay me off?" Chloe looked from the Cheque to Avery's face, looking puzzled."No, you need to take care of yourself and the baby," Avery literally gritted out, hating the fact that someone like Chloe who was completely undeserving of anything pertaining to Liam, was being reluctant to accept the cheque."He asked you to give me?" Chloe questioned, her voice more audible than it did before."Yes," Avery lied, rolling her eyes in their sockets. The truth was that Liam never told her to do so, she just did it out of her own free will, because she was now filling for Liam. All his responsibilities were heaped on her shoulders."Will he avoid me forever? This child belongs to him," Chloe had sadness spreading across her face.The corners of Avery's mouth stretched into a smirk when she saw this."He never called yo
It was evening when the car pulled up in front of the prison gates, after long five hours of driving. The prison was in a desolate place where one would have to drive hours before they could come across a gas station or a grocery store. It was completely out of civilization and was one of the worst prisons which contained hardened criminals and hitmen."You hate me so much, don't you?" Liam couldn't hide his dismay as he directed this to Detective Maverick."I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Price," the Detective was a bit confused at this."Of all the prisons in the world, it's this place you deem best fit for me," Liam shook his head in self-pity as he took in a proper view of the place. He doubted he would be able to survive a day."These men will remain here until they grow old and die, while most of them will get killed in a few days, weeks, or months." Said Detective Maverick "So no one knows me as Liam Price?" Liam lifted a brow."No, they don't," the detective shook his
Liam slipped his head out of the wash basin and gasped loudly. His hands moved to his face and he made use of some liquid soap and water to wash his face.After drying his face with a fresh towel, he looked into the mirror to stare back at his reflection.True to his thoughts, his head was shaved bald and he was a bit petrified at the person staring back at him.His head was too shiny and he felt very different from the Liam Price whom he had been in the past hour months. It was the first time he had seen himself like that and he felt very weird. He doubted his people would recognize him with all of his hair gone. If he suddenly appeared in front of Big Tony like that, the man would stare at him in confusion, except he would take a closer look at him.Going out in the open like that, no one would even recognize him as Liam Price. They would walk right past him without sparing him a second glance. Except that wasn't even possible because starting from that day onward, he would be con
Liam was pushed to confront his horror the following morning. He wasn't even given a few more hours to rest as he was taken back to his cell, to meet with his cellmates once more. If he could be granted one wish, it would be to find himself in another cell and not that exact cell that contained the men who beat him black and blue the previous day. Seeing their faces again was way too much for him to handle "I can see you're back," Robbs stroked his beard. He was the leader out of all three men.Liam bit back a groan as he stood, unmoving. He couldn't even turn his neck to the other side because it was stuff from the beatings he received the previous day. It felt like the medications given to him were useless because the pains were worse than before.Life kept getting worse for him, although he was partly at fault for what happened yesterday since the first thing which came out of his mouth was a challenge. And then his face was used as a punching bag.Liam remained in his standing s
The following day, Benjamin Price was wheeled into the court gallery by a police officer.His sons were as well present with the lawyer they had hired to defend him. While Avery, Triple M was already in the dock, ready to testify against Benjamin Price and plead guilty to his murder attempt."Where is the victim?" The judge looked around, expecting to see Liam but he couldn't find him. Even his place on the left dock was empty."He has business to take care of," Avery provided, making sure her voice was firm and bold."Upon knowing we have a trial?" Asked the judge, because he was confused at this. He thought Liam would be present."He's the victim after all, he's not here but we can still communicate with him while he's away," Avery opened the laptop on the chair beside her. Her face spread into a small smile as she popped some buttons on the keyboard. It seemed as though she already knew what she was doing.There was a short pause as people exchanged confused looks. They wondered w
