Charlotte was maddened to see her Precious daughter with Liam, the man she hated with every ounce of her being. Beatrice was not only free with Liam, but she was also looking up at him with admiration in her eyes and letting him spoon-feed her."Mother," Beatrice gulped down her food when Liam withdrew the spoon.A frantic Charlotte handed her bag to one of her escorts and rushed to the side of her daughter.Liam didn't leave his seating position, he just remained where he was and waited for his father's wife to throw a fit."Why did you let him take you out?" She scolded her daughter."Because I wanted some fresh air. I couldn't stay in my ward which felt like a hell hole," Beatrice explained.And Charlotte's eyes were as big as saucers."You refused to speak to any of us and you did upon his arrival? Unbelievable." Beatrice rolled her eyes in their sockets and said nothing.Charlotte shifted her gaze to Liam and glared at him with contempt."And you, what were you even thinking? Bri
"Where do I sign?" Liam requested before he could stop himself. It was as if his brain had no control of his mouth anymore. And his mouth spoke whatever it wanted."Good boy," Hunter smacked his cheek lightly, "now untie him," he ordered Ted Price who reluctantly obliged.Charlotte flipped through the documents and stopped at the ending before she shoved a pen in Liam's hand."By signing this, you're relieving yourself from all the inheritance, including your claim as Brandon Price's son." Uncle Benji told Liam.Without a word, Liam began signing his signature even though he was against it. Could it be that he was drugged to be unaware of his actions?When he finished signing, he handed the documents to Hunter with trembling hands."There, he gave us what we wanted, at last, we can do as we please with Brandon's fortune," Hunter flapped the documents with his hand and laughed like a possessed person. Everyone joined in, and they pointed their fingers at him while they were at it."You
To Liam's surprise, his welcome back was a grand gesture when he went to his company the next day. Right at the moment Gibson stopped the car at the garage, some employees dropped a long red rug from the entrance doors to Liam's car, so his foot wouldn't touch the ground when he alighted.Liam hopped out of the car and slammed the door shut. He was sullen from his dream but he couldn't understand what was happening or who was behind it. There seemed to be a little party going on and people were already waiting for him."I have no idea who's behind this," Gibson defended himself when Liam cast him a curious glance. Liam adjusted the collar of his coat and walked through the red rug even though he wasn't in for a show that day. There was a balloon explosion just like his first arrival on the Price Enterprise."You're such an incredible problem solver, Mr. Price.""Way to go with your strategies, we are still blown away.""We're lucky to have such a hardworking CEO.""We appreciate you,
Liam left his company by foot, he didn't wait for Gibson to come pick him up nor did he call any of his bodyguards. He ran out like a crazed person, ignoring everything and everyone. It was bad. He couldn't face his father's family anymore. The dream was haunting his mind and making him restless. He ran as far away as he could from the Price Enterprise because it felt like he would suffocate.He stopped on the footpath of a busy road and tried to catch his breath, after sensing his chest was hurting. People were quick to recognize him. He was all alone with no cars or bodyguards.They squealed and ran in his direction, just to get a hold of him or touch him. When Liam noticed what was happening, his newly developed panic attack started. Just from the sight of the surging crowd, clamoring and pushing past themselves to get him, nearly made him lose his balance.He ran and they chased after him like wild cats. It was too much to handle in one day. He had not the slightest idea of whe
Stevie-Lou wasn't used to having a guy in her apartment, except her elder brother Jake or her fiance, Ted Price.But Liam was there and he had literally begged to stay for two days because he was too overwhelmed by his emotions that were triggered by a terrible dream he had. The world's wealthiest man wanted to stay in her crappy apartment. She didn't know how to handle it. Thirty minutes ago, Liam Price was found running on the road as he was getting chased by his fans, since he was like an idol to everyone. His sudden wealth and brilliance quickly raised him into the position of a celebrity.Stevie-Lou helped him and took him to her apartment just to make him relax but then he had asked to stay for a few days."I have an elder brother who lives with me," she blurted out. "Okay?" Liam didn't appear surprised at all."He has a condition," she added, fumbling with her hands, "and I don't care about the status you uphold, if you make him feel sad, then I'm afraid you'll have to go.""
"Did you see how he ran away? I've never seen something so comical in days.""I think the bastard is starting to know his place, he seemed quite scared of me when he locked gazes. Just like his mask fell off and he realized what I'm truly capable of."It was Hunter and Charlotte naked in bed. They made the kids assume they were going to have a discussion privately, whilst it was just to get intimate.Charlotte ran her fingers through Hunter's chest and looked at him, "I'm starting to think Liam is afraid of something that we're yet to know.""And what could that be?" Hunter's eyes were basked in curiosity."We need to find out and use it against him, mess with his mind for some time until we finally cause him to die a slow and painful death," Charlotte left the bed to dress up.Whilst Hunter laid back in bed and prop his head on his hand. "Benjamin Price called and instructed me to hold on and let his son, Ted, take over with Liam's abduction and killing." "You cannot trust anyone w
For the first time in two weeks, Liam felt at ease. He was cooking, something which he only did for his late twin, Emily. Stevie-Lou was already too engrossed in work to even pause to take a look at what he was up to. The gold on her engagement ring flashed through Liam's eyes when she raised her hand to adjust her glasses.There he was, cooking when he was supposed to be at his company, pulling up new strategies so stocks wouldn't drop and affect the shares. Liam knew Gibson and even Avery would try to find him. He forgot his phone at his office or they would've found out where he was through the help of Sinclair. And he felt it was best that way, he needed some time to think and put himself together.Liam finished with the lasagna, put some on a plate for his host, and sprinkled some cheese on it."Here's your meal," he settled the plate on the glass table next to Stevie-Lou's system. Her eyes narrowed a little when she took a look at it, "it looks good.""You won't know if it's g
It was happening again, except it was worse this time.Liam's enemies were torturing him again, submerging his head into a bathtub full of greenish disgusting liquid. He couldn't scream for help this time because his mouth had a rag stuffed in it and his hands were tied right behind his back. Charlotte, Hunter, and everyone else were taking turns in punishing him."Liam?" He could make out a familiar voice faintly calling his name, amid the laughter of his enemies.He struggled to break free but it was effortless."Liam, wake up!" The voice came again, louder this time. Not as distant as it was before."H-he's not d-d-dying, is h-he?" This was another person, a stuttering man."Liam!" The ear-splitting scream and a rough shake on his shoulders woke him up from his nightmare.Liam was panting so hard that he almost choked on his own breath. His heart clenched tightly in his chest as he looked at Stevie-Lou and Jake, who were already at his side. Looking extremely worried."Calm down, Li
