The Ingenious Liam Price 60: His Attraction For Her
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
The Ingenious Liam Price 61: Confronting The Hitmen
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
The Ingenious Liam Price 62: Avoiding The Connection
Avery Duffer was restless ever since Liam's disappearance, she had her men look through the whole city in search of him. He wasn't just any man, he was Liam Price. He could be hurt or kidnapped. She feared for his safety.The last CCTV footage of him was when he was running out of the company, afterward nothing else.Avery sighed heavily and massaged her temples, she couldn't get any night's sleep when her time was spent privately working for the CI regarding a deadly consigliere and looking for Liam. She was drinking her coffee which had turned cold when her phone rang.Picking it up from the desk, then slammed it against her ear. There, she was informed of how Liam was seen running away from a crowd until he jumped into someone's car and zoomed off with the person."Where are you, Liam Price?" Avery sighed heavily and turned in her rotating chair.She could still recall the first time she saw him, it was on tv. He looked very simple and smart. There and then, she picked a liking on
The Ingenious Liam Price 63: Taking Risks
They checked into a hotel two hours later and Liam, who was clad in Jake's clothes, wore a baseball cap to hide his face, so people wouldn't notice him. "Separate bedrooms?" The male receptionist bounced his head from Stevie-Lou to Liam and then Jake.Stevie-Lou couldn't have Jake sleeping in another room when he had autism. She had looked after him until they were adults, and Liam on the other hand used to have nightmares. He needed someone by his side to ease him from his panic attacks."One room," she replied after looking away from the two of them.And the receptionist stared at her as if she was a slut."What kind of a woman shares a room with two guys? You are in for a threesome." He put his hand on his chin.Stevie-Lou's temper flared and she pounded her fist on the receptionist's counter, making him flinch."Shut up and give me the key," she growled at him.Liam clenched his jaw to suppress an impending scoff. "F-f-for the records, I'm her elder brother and this is Li.."Jake
The Ingenious Liam Price 64: Using His Authority
"Ma'am, your card is being declined," the female receptionist in front politely told Stevie-Lou. "Try it again," Stevie-Lou rasped out."Still the same result.""Shit," Stevie-Lou cursed lowly before leaving to meet with Liam and her brother who were quietly waiting a few feet away from her."What's going on?" The look on her face was enough to make Liam sense something wasn't right."My credit card is declining my payment," Stevie-lou informed them in distress, "what do we do now?" She whined.Liam tipped his baseball cap down so he could think. He hadn't shown his face in the Price Hotels before, he only received feedback from both the executive and financial manager.He wasn't planning on showing his face, too bad Stevie-Lou's card didn't work."Come with me," he said to Stevie-Lou and her brother."Why? I thought you wanted to hide until we leave this place? You don't want anyone to know you're Liam Price," Stevie-Lou couldn't understand his sudden change of plans.Liam rubbed his
The Ingenious Liam Price 65: Going Back
As expected, the hitmen were arrested. When the cops arrived in casual wear, they didn't even know what was going on until they were shown IDs, handcuffed, and shoved into the backseat of cars. All eight of them were outnumbered by the police. Afterward, Sinclair exposed Bryce Canon to the police with evidence he had gathered, including the murder of Stevie-Lou's colleague. He was trying to flee when the police caught him. "I can't thank you enough, Liam," Stevie-Lou was tearful after hearing this. It was exactly midnight when Liam narrated how everything went and she pulled him into a bone-crushing hug because he was like a savior to her.Liam let her hug him as much as she wanted, she had saved him twice and so he felt obligated to return the favor. Jake was in the background sniffing when they pulled away from the hug."The risks we took, my biggest fear was dying before my wedding," she blurted out and swallowed hard.Liam averted his gaze to the floor, put his fists in his pock
The Ingenious Liam Price 66: Just Like Soul Therapy
"Are you sure about this, young master Liam?""Yes, Gibson. Now do as I say, I want everyone at the conference hall in ten minutes."It was the next morning when they arrived at the Price Enterprise and they were in Liam's office. Gibson was skeptical about Liam holding a meeting because he felt Liam still needed some time to rest before he could face Charlotte and everyone who witnessed what happened two days ago.But Liam stood firm on his ground. He had plans for his company.Liam crossed his legs on his rotating seat, only to stare straight ahead of him and he saw the butler still maintaining his standing position. A doubtful look spread across his face."I know you're worried about me, Gibson. You don't want what happened the last time to repeat itself, and I promise it won't." A small smile pressed on Liam's face.And that was enough to make Gibson nod and leave.Hunter and everyone else weren't expecting Liam to arrive at the conference hall before them. They met him seated on h
