The Ingenious Liam Price 67: Liam's Mistake Before The Wedding
It was finally the day for Ted and Stevie-Lou's wedding, a Saturday, so Liam worked from home. He contemplated attending the wedding with his cousin and the woman he liked. Ted, whose list he was topping as the 'least-liked, didn't invite him but Stevie-Lou did. Jake even called him the other night and stammered over the phone, asking him to show up earlier than everyone because he was a part of their family.No one knew how affected Liam was by this wedding. Chloe was his first love until she showed her true colors because of his condition, although Liam claimed over the interview that he would focus on taking after his father rather than relationships. But things changed right from the first day he bumped into Stevie-Lou.He thought she was a boy at first because of her outfit, only to have her cap fall off and he saw her red hair braided in cornrows before her face.She turned out to play a huge role in his life. Asked him the most questions at the interview with the press corps.
The Ingenious Liam Price 68: A Deadly Package For The Bride
Liam snapped back to reality and stifled laughter. He just let his thoughts mess with his head for thirty seconds. "You don't know how glad I am that you're here, Liam," Stevie-Lou hugged him once more before backing away and dabbing her eyes with a hankie."I could never miss your big day," Liam's hands itched to touch her but he only just balled his fingers into a fist. Starting today, he would refrain from giving her hugs or holding her hands. She was to be Ted's woman forever. He wondered why the world sucked so much. He had Avery who was waiting for him, ready to accept him with open arms. He liked her but not as much as Stevie-Lou. Too bad he never had his chance with her."I have something for you," Liam slipped out a white medium-sized envelope that was folded to fit in his pocket.With wide eyes, Stevie-Lou snatched it from him before he could even give her."Can you not wait until after the wedding?" He jammed his hands into his pockets as he stared at her with a smirk."N
The Ingenious Liam Price 69: Running Away With The Bride
Stevie-Lou was as pale as a ghost who had been through all hell and back, as she placed one unsteady footstep after the other, dragging her feet with her along the aisle.Images of how the security blew up kept replaying in her head, tormenting the shit out of her senses. She knew she would be scarred for life.His charred remains were in her glass of wine, across her dressing mirror, and on the floor. Patches of his navy-blue uniform, his cap that looked like it was eaten to half by moles.She was numb with her eyes puffy from tears and her face make-up free because she couldn't stop her sobs the whole time they tried to redo her makeup. Due to the way Ted knelt on the floor and begged her, she agreed to go on with the wedding. They took her into another room, took the blood-stained wedding dress off her body, and discarded it. She had her bath for the second time that morning and a new wedding dress was bought for her.Ninety-nine percent of the wedding guest didn't know about the
The Ingenious Liam Price 70: The Betrayal (I)
Liam didn't stop driving until an hour later when he reached the beach. He and Stevie-Lou were at least 97 kilometers away from Ted. It was miraculous that Stevie-Lou didn't cry during the whole drive, Liam could tell she was bottling up the emotions within her, by the way she sighed from time to time.The beach had a few people there, not as crowded as it was supposed to be. Liam and Stevie-Lou hadn't spoken a word to each other nor did anyone make a move to step out of the car. They were still inside and Liam still had his hands on the steering wheel.He could imagine the kind of pain she was going through; the explosion in her dressing room and then Ted's women.Liam felt the need to comfort her but he didn't know how to start, he was even scared that he might offend her.Seeing her like this just made him feel terrible for wishing she never loved Ted or wanted to marry him. It was the right thing but she was in pain. It could be that the deadly package was sent by one of Ted Pric
The Ingenious Liam Price 71: The Betrayal (II)
"I met Liam Price on the evening he buried his twin, Emily. After introducing myself to him and telling him about his real identity, he claimed Emily died of cardiovascular disease. But recently I just figured he's full of lies. He already knew about Brandon's death before I found him. Emily's doctor told me she was poisoned to death." It was the previous day's video of Gibson where he had gone live to expose the secrets of Liam Price, as he claimed.Liam could feel his body trembling as he kept replaying the video until Avery switched off the tv."You have to stop to protect your mental health."Liam gulped down the gigantic lump stuck within his throat. "That's not him. The video is edited.""No, it's not, boss. Your butler disappeared since yesterday afternoon," Sinclair chipped in.And Liam just turned away from everyone, with his palm resting over his face as he panted and puffed out heavy breaths. His heart kept jumping in his chest, as his shoulders continually rose and fell h
The Ingenious Liam Price 72: The Betrayal (III)
Liam was detained for forty-eight hours after going through the first interrogation. They were doing more research about Emily's death and until things were confirmed false, he would remain under detention."I need you to be cooperative with me, Liam Price. So we can get to the end of this and clear your name if you truly are innocent." Detective Maverick slapped a file on the desk as he took his seat opposite Liam for the second time that day."Your late father's butler found you on the evening of your twin's burial?" Detective Maverick inquired."Yes," Liam replied."You claimed she died of cardiovascular disease, that she's always had a weak heart since from childhood?" The detective popped this second question."Yes." Liam put his hands on the desk."And it's Doctor Beistein who handles everything."Liam waited for a few seconds to run by before nodding in agreement to this."Well, here's his report as Emily's doctor," Detective Maverick held up a file to Liam's face, "it states t
The Ingenious Liam Price 73: Two Women, Same Warning
"Liam Price is innocent. He didn't kill his twin!" Stevie-Lou was standing in the middle of the busy road, as she yelled to the extent that her veins were bulging out along her neck. People stared at her as if she had gone mad. Jake was blowing a trumpet so loud, that passer-bys blocked their ears to restrain temporary deafness.That was the only thing he could do since he couldn't address the public like his sister, due to his condition.But they were disturbing the peace of everyone. They didn't even relent after being chased down by traffic police."Don't give in to lies, his enemies plan on ruining his reputation because of jealousy," Stevie-Lou yelled until her voice was hoarse."What are you doing, Stevie?" It was Ted Price who stopped his car and popped his head out of the window.His eyes enlarged in their sockets when they did a once-over at her appearance. She was still wearing her wedding dress from yesterday and had Liam's jacket on top.Seeing him reminded her about the h
The Ingenious Liam Price 74: Emily's Diary
"I'm sorry but I have to do this," Detective Maverick held up his handcuffs and swiveled his head in Liam's direction in the back seat of the car. Two police cars just dropped by at his old apartment to conduct a search, if cyanide poison could be found.Wordlessly, Liam raised his hands and they were handcuffed by the detective before he was pulled out of the car. They didn't want him to move or touch anything while they searched his apartment.He was helpless and didn't know how else he could defend himself when his most trusted person told lies with his name, and then Doctor Beisten.Liam felt broken but his outward appearance didn't show it because of how perfectly he controlled the expression on his face.They took him in and began the search.Liam just sighed in distress, he raised his cuffed hands to facepalm. It felt too surreal to return to his old home and have the police there, trying to look for a poison which of course Gibson and Doctor Beisten had left. He was accused o
