The Ingenious Liam Price 21: Genius Liam
Liam woke up by late morning, the following day. He found himself on his bed, shirtless, and with a bandage wrapped around the arm he got shot. There was still that burning pain but he couldn't feel the tiny hot weight of the bullet anymore. It had been removed.Avery was in the room instead of Gibson, she had her back to him as if she was up to something."What are you doing?" He questioned and immediately Avery wheeled around to face him. "Here, drink up," she handed him some painkillers and a glass of water. Liam downed the painkillers meds in one gulp and as he returned the bottle to Avery, he couldn't fail to notice the way her eyes raked at his upper bare body.He couldn't recall the last time someone stared at him that way.Feeling a bit embarrassed because it felt foreign, he rose to his feet to get a shirt and Avery upon sensing this, went to his wardrobe and got him what he wanted."I'll have it on myself," Liam told her when she tried to help him with it."No, you're no
The Ingenious Liam Price 22: Disguising
"I was kidnapped yesterday," Liam had his eyes fixated on Hunter when he made this known to everyone, and jaws dropped to the floor."It hadn't even clocked twenty-four hours as CEO of my father's company, yet someone disguised himself as my butler, drove me into a remote area, and shot me. I would have been a lump of dead meat by now." Again, gasps flew around the conference hall.Hunter took a rough gulp and remained silent. There was nothing he could do at this point but to avoid Liam's burning gaze. He knew he had been caught."That's too much to happen, you only just buried your father yesterday," "Who would want to kill him?""He was found last week and now they want him dead?"Liam was pleased to hear this from the members of the executive committee. "My kidnappers are still being tortured as I speak," Liam pressed another button and then an image of them was shown on the screen, "soon they'd confess and the real traitor would be locked in jail.""Perhaps you had enemies befo
The Ingenious Liam Price 23: Brother, Stepmother And Cousins
"Can I at least spend the night here? I heard you got shot, so I sneaked out to come meet you," Arthur had his left shoulder raised as he made this request.Liam bounced his head from his stepbrother to Gibson, and then Gibson to Arthur."You don't have to pity me, Arthur.." Liam was talking when he got silenced by seventeen-year-old Arthur, with a raise of the hand."We're brothers, you don't have to be like this because my mom hates you. I'm not her or Beatrice," the boy couldn't hide the frown on his face. "I can take you back home," Gibson offered."No," Arthur shook his head, "I want to stay here with my elder brother," and then when he turned to Liam, an offended look over his face."Do you know how hard it was for me to get here? I trick the guards. The security at home has been tight since Dad's death. Georgie wanted to come too, but it would have been hard because he's crippled." Arthur pointed out.And Liam just puffed out a low breath before staring at his cast.He didn't w
The Ingenious Liam Price 24: Crazy Ex-girlfriend
It rained heavily that night and Liam found himself unable to sleep. It was hard to freely toss in bed because his arm hurt, so he just laid on his left side and had his eyes wide open. Every day, he was figuring out new things in the Price family, and for him to be safe, he needed to go out of his comfort zone to secretly learn their ways. It was risky not to take risks.There was a need to study the Price family from the youngest, Georgie Price, and then to the oldest, Benjamin Price. Hunter had men shoot him, so Liam knew he needed to play the same game with him. And Stevie-Lou's wedding with Ted was barely eleven days away.That wasn't all. Liam was new to the business world and even though he was smart, there was a need for improvement in his life.Liam rose from his bed to pour himself some water since his throat felt dry. The heavy downpour wasn't even close to stopping. And as Liam drank his water, his mind drifted off to the struggling time with Emily. How it rained and t
The Ingenious Liam Price 25: The Visit
Stevie-Lou rubbed her sweaty palms together and released a low breath as she followed the guards into Liam's mansion. Upon her arrival, she thought she would be sent away because she was just a journalist, but then she was stunned when she was told that Liam was waiting for her. "I was thinking you'd turn me away upon hearing my profession," Stevie-Lou said before she could even stop herself."Do you want me to send you away?" Liam raised a brow at her, totally enjoying her confusion. He had taken off his cast so she wouldn't suspect he was this non-existent Thomas."No, it's not so easy to have someone like you allow me into your home," Stevie-Lou blurted out. She was a bit intimidated by Liam, mostly by his uplifted mocking brow. But she did her best to mask it all up with boldness."You saved my life, I cannot turn you away," Liam said. Trying to hide the smile on his face. If only she knew he was the non-existent Thomas.Stevie-Lou gulped and nodded at Liam, "How's your arm?""Y
The Ingenious Liam Price 26: Donating His Blood
"Beatrice got into a fatal accident and lost a lot of blood, she's somewhere between life and death," Gibson broke this news to Liam.And panic immediately punched out of Liam's lungs as hair raised in his pores. "She needs a blood transfusion or she won't make it," they were in the waiting area in the hospital."Charlotte's blood did not match, nor did Arthur's. Georgie is barely nine so he's out of the picture. A few persons have been brought and it wasn't compatible. She has only a few hours left for survival."Liam fought to control his breath. Hearing Gibson tell him this weakened every part of his body, that he couldn't even move or speak.Why? Because it made him remember Emily. How he couldn't save her because he had no money.How could Beatrice of all people have an accident? Their father was buried three days ago, he was shot two days ago and now Beatrice, the only girl, was having a near-death experience?"Where is she?" Liam's voice was cranky."Private ward 027," Gibson
The Ingenious Liam Price 27: Good Deeds
The following day, Liam felt human again, after taking an energy booster to maintain his stance. He wanted to check out of the hospital, but at first, he went to see Beatrice to know how she was fairing.Charlotte was by her side as expected but Liam didn't care. He went into her ward to check up on her. She was still unconscious though. But Doctor Cyrus had told him she would get better."Why did you do it?" Charlotte grudgingly asked Liam."Is that even a question to ask? Beatrice is my sister and father would've wanted me to be her blood donor," even though Liam was repulsed by her, he still managed to keep his tone down because he didn't want to disturb his step-sister."So you admit you saved her life because you felt a bit remorseful after manipulating the will to be in your favor?" Charlotte rose to look him in the eye."Why do you have to twist everything I say?" Liam could feel his temper rising."Because you're a bastard. And you're here to take away everything my husband lef
The Ingenious Liam Price 28: Ted's Fight Club
Dressed as Clumsy Thomas once more, Liam found his way into Ted Price's underground fight club. At first, he was a bit unsure of himself since he had never been there, but his eagerness to explore the dangerous world of Ted Price made him refuse to turn around and head back in the same direction he came from.It was that same evening. Sinclair had given him the fight club's location which was disguised with a pizza parlor. There was a tiny dark hallway that led to two doors. Liam took the first and was redirected outside but when he returned and took the one on his left, a rusty lift took him 30 feet down. And then, he heard cheers from a large number of people before he could even see them. Liam met two bouncers at the entrance, he handed them his $50 bill and then he was checked with a device to detect if he had any knife or firearm, or something suspicious to leak their hidden fight club. When they found none, they let him pass.Liam gulped upon seeing the crowd chanting to suppor
