The Ingenious Liam Price 181: Luring Liam To A Trap
'Liam?' Stevie-Lou's shaky and tearful voice sounded from the other end of the phone."Stevie?" Liam could barely believe that she picked up her phone to call him. Unbeknownst of her situation.'A-a-are you alone?' She sounded as if she was in so much pain."Yes, Stevie. What's wrong? Are you hurt anywhere?" Liam was genuinely worried for her sake because he still cared for her.I was kidnapped by Ted Price, he lured me into his trap, claiming it was you who wanted to see me. And when I went there, he shot me in the leg and locked me up in this cabin,' Stevie-Lou explained while sobbing."Christ!" Liam swore out loud as he jumped to his feet.'He shot me in the leg, Liam,' she continued."Ted shot you?" Liam could feel his breathing growing deep.'Yes, so I wouldn't run away. And then he left me out here to suffer,''Can you give me a description of this place, so I can come to your rescue?' It was taking everything within Liam to not panic.'I'm afraid if you come with the police, he
The Ingenious Liam Price 182: Torture (I)
Liam got in the direction Stevie-Lou had texted him. It was in a remote area, a place that he had never been to before. He wasn't scared, that was the main reason he went alone because he aimed to rescue Stevie-Lou from his cousin. He stopped his car and took the footwalk until he got to the cabin.Liam could feel his heart hammering in his chest as he stared at the cabin.Why on earth would Ted kidnap Stevie-Lou and hurt her? But then again, obsession was a dangerous thing, because it could be that he was mad at Stevie-Lou for ditching him at the wedding and running away with Liam. And then he found out a few weeks later that she was dating Liam. So it hurt him, but that was about four months ago.Liam clenched his jaw as he made his way to the cabin. He didn't know what was waiting for him there, but he knew he could risk it all for Stevie-Lou. She didn't deserve to get hurt, after being through so much in the past months. Indeed, Liam still cared deeply for her. That was why when

They hit Liam with whatever they could find and beat him black and blue until his face was battered and his vision was blurry."We'll only let you live on one condition," panted Hunter as he wiped his bloodied fist on his shirt.Liam's face was already swollen enough that his voice sounded groggy when he tried to speak."Sign these papers and pass out all your inheritance to us, and then we'll let you go without killing you," said Charlotte."And of course the gold, you need to give us the gold," Hunter added.Liam's head fell to his side, he was in so much pain that it hurt to even stay awake."Speak up now or you'll be gone in a matter of seconds," Hunter cocked his gun and aimed it at Liam.And this reminded him of the nightmare he had on two occasions. The one where he dreamt about his downfall and death, and it generated panic attacks which he never had.The nightmare was manifesting itself, even though the people whom he found in the dream weren't complete.Even though it was ju
The Ingenious Liam Price 184: The Fight
Four hours ago…Avery knew something was up with the way Liam left without paying any attention to her. Normally, he always noticed her but this time he did not. He even ignored her when she called out to him, and it was rather strange.She was about to hop into her car to trail after him when she saw Gibson, the traitor approaching her."Hello there, Avery Duffer," Gibson offered her a little smile as he stopped in front of her and put his hands right behind him.Avery waited for Liam to drive off before she turned to Gibson."You," she sneered at him."Come on now, you can't say you hate me because of what happened," Gibson cast her an innocent look."Your audacity is stinky, sir," Avery insulted, with her eyes showing him how much she was upset with him.And the man chuckled, clearly amused by the way she just spoke to him."How dare you show up here and act like it's not a big deal to betray Liam?" Avery gritted out as she covered the distance between them. He was taller, old enou

"Hello, Liam. We have a little surprise for you," Hunter returned with a smirk and then he rubbed his hands together as if he just did a job well done."Where's Avery, what have you done to her?" Liam couldn't help but ask because his heart was already quaking in his chest from the fear of losing Avery."You should see for yourself, don't you think?" Hunter still had his smirk resting on his face.And at this, Liam took a rough gulp. Afraid that they had killed Avery Duffer.Gibson and Ted Price returned, and they didn't untie Liam from the chair, afraid if they did, he would gain the strength to fight back. So they just carried him along with the chair and took him into another room in the cabin.And the sight that greeted Liam would have sent him to his feet if he wasn't already tied to the chair.Avery was still unconscious and she had a ticking time bomb to her body."What have you done!?" Liam was already trembling in his seat, he could feel his heart rising to his throat. "Hurr
The Ingenious Liam Price 186: Ticking Time Bomb
"Shit, shit, shit!" Liam swore out loud because he was trying as much as he could to free himself from the ropes, but he could not. He had been trying for the past two minutes and the time bomb on Avery's body was reading 5:22 seconds. And Avery was still unconscious."Avery, wake up!" Liam called out to her.Still nothing. She was unmoving, still in the exact position she was left, while the bomb was still ticking."Wake up, please. You can't die this way. We need to get the bomb from your body. If anyone deserves to live then it's you." The whole room was already smelling like death.And Liam could hear Stevie-lou's sobs from the other room.This was worse than he ever thought.His enemies tricked him, made him sign all his fortune to them and then they ran away, leaving him to die along with the two women who mattered to him.Liam let out a shuddered breath when Avery began stirring until she flicked her eyes open."Avery, can you hear me?" Liam called out to her while she stared

It was sort of hard to leave the Cabin when Avery immediately passed out right after Liam embraced her. And there was Stevie-Lou, who couldn't even walk because of the bullet wound she had. It was completely dark outside, almost past 9 PM and Liam could still hear the sirens from afar. Quickly, he put an unconscious Avery on his back before going over to the other room to check up on Stevie-Lou.She was sitting on the floor, her face was dried with tears and her leg was still bleeding."It's all over, Stevie, I'll get you out of here," Liam said softly but Stevie-Lou couldn't even look at him.Liam put Avery on the floor before hurrying to Stevie-Lou's side so he could cut off the ropes from her body since she was tied to a chair as well."I am so sorry, Liam. It's all my fault," She apologized when Liam finally cut off the last of the ropes, and it was obvious that she felt guilty over luring him there."No, don't apologize. Nothing is your fault," Liam didn't mind. At that moment

Three months later."It's a boy," Liam was trying to keep a straight face but he was woefully failing at it."And?" Avery raised a brow as she put some documents aside. She was in her office and Liam just bursted in without even knocking."We did genetic testing and it turns out that he's truly mine," he told the truth at last and fist-pumped the air in excitement."That's great news, Liam. Congratulations," Avery offered Liam a genuine smile but she still remained in her sitting position."It's still incredulous that I have a son," Liam put his hands on his waist and stared at the ceiling."It feels surreal, right?" Avery asked."He was so tiny that I was afraid he'd fall from my arms," Liam blurted out."And the mother, how is she?" Avery swiftly changed the topic."Chloe is still on treatment, she delivered the child through CS," Liam informed her."She needs a lot of rest, it wasn't easy at all," Avery finally left her seat and went to stand beside Liam."I wish it wasn't her but
