"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
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
"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
"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
"How could you do such a thing without my knowledge!?" Hunter lashed out."What else should I have done, sit back and do nothing?" Charlotte didn't even flinch."Ted would've handled things as promised." Hunter gritted out. They were arguing inside the room."You expect a man whose wedding ended up in ruins to carry on with the plan? Someone whose supposed wife ran away with the said Liam," Charlotte huffed and put her hands on her waist."You don't want Liam dead anymore?" For a moment Hunter forgot he was enraged, upon hearing what Charlotte just pointed out."Who said I don't want him dead?" Charlotte let out a slight shrug, "Someone could send him a package that'd blow him up in a cell, just like they did to Ted's bride. Luckily it was the security who opened the package.""What are you talking about?" Ted's eyes lowered in confusion because he couldn't fully comprehend what he just heard from her."Nothing," Charlotte was turning away from Hunter when he caught her wrist and turne
Stevie-Lou knew she was about to do what she'd spend the rest of her life regretting. Having arrived at work fully prepared for that morning, because her boss literally just told her to betray Liam by lying to the public that he did kill Emily.It was cold but her palms were sweaty, despite how she had rubbed them over her blazers to keep them moisture-free.They were getting prepared to deliver the news as early as 8 AM.Her boss, Mr. Murphy, pushed a coffee into her hand without her approval."I trust you'll do a great job as always, Stevie. Just go over there and follow my instructions," with a reassuring smile on his face, he put his hand on her shoulder."Just drink up and prepare to climb up there in the next ten minutes. Remember you aren't hurting anyone, it's just your job you're doing." He added before withdrawing his hand.Stevie-Lou gave him an awkward smile with a flippant nod.After skimming through the report she was asked to memorize, she dumped the coffee into a nearb
"It was Cyanide poison and not Strychnine,""Why do we have Strychnine then?" Detective Maverick put the empty bottle of poison on top of the table.Doctor Beisten looked from the detective to Liam, before shrugging a little, "Who knows if he used it on her too."Liam just scoffed and rubbed the side of his jaw. The man had been caught red-handed but he was still telling lies. Gibson on the other hand was unusually quiet, looking anywhere else but Liam."Here is Emily's diary and this is a report she got from you, Doctor Beistein. On the 15th of September, a day before she died," Detective Maverick pushed the diary and the test report to Doctor Beisten.Liam who was yet to utter a word, smirked and folded his arms across his chest, as he watched the two betrayers who were seated opposite him at the table. They were dumbfounded.Detective Maverick gave them a few minutes to go through Emily's diary and the report before he signaled his men to come forth."Doctor Beisten, Mr. Gibson, y
It was hard for Liam to accept that Avery was in love with him, the way she just confessed her feelings to him made him completely caught off guard. He didn't know how to handle this, everything she said about him and Stevie-Lou was true, but then she told him to stop caring for Stevie-Lou because she, Avery Duffer, was in love with him.How could he ever accept that or stop caring for the one woman who made his heart quake in his chest, with just a little gesture from her?Liam took one good look at Avery before pulling away from her."I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but I just see you as a friend, Avery Duffer," He said at last because he couldn't force himself to give her the love she wanted from him."But we kissed once," Her eyes were blurring with tears."You initiated it. I tried as much as I could to reciprocate your feelings but it was just impossible, my mind was on Stevie the entire time. Even though she was with Ted as of then."Avery raised her balled fist to her ches
