"You need to get me out of here," Charlotte Price looked like she was going to pass out as she held the cell gates.Messy hair, dark circles around her eyes, and dried lips. She didn't look herself at all. Charlotte Price who reeked of wealth, power and lived an extravagant life was lowered into an ordinary woman in a cell.Hunter hated seeing her like that, though. She looked a shadow of herself. She was at her brand when the police stormed in, handcuffed, and put her into the back seat of the car. Something he least expected because he believed Liam would stay in jail, only to have the tables being turned and Charlotte was arrested."I am trying my best, Charlotte. But you need to just wait for a few days, there has to be a trial in court before you can be released," Hunter's voice was unusually quiet."What!? I have to stay in this cell, can you not bribe the guards or something!?" Charlotte yelled with her eyes blazing with fury."It's not done that way, according to Gibson's clai
Liam never expected Stevie-Lou to accept him when he made his bottled-up feelings known to her at last, he thought it'd be awkward between them or she would turn him down. He was close to believing the latter when she shut the door in his face and left him standing outside like the biggest loser on earth, only to have her return and initiate a kiss.His heart wanted to burst right out from his chest because of overwhelming joy. He never thought he would like someone else apart from Chloe who gave him his first heartbreak, but then came Stevie-Lou. She was different, pure inside out and she was always around when he needed saving. It seemed as though the time they were making an escape from Bryce Canon, pulled them together. Plus Stevie-Lou's unsuccessful wedding with Ted Price pulled them closer to each other.He woke up to Jake dropping a tray of food next to his bedside."What is this, room service?" Liam asked through a yawn."I-I-I haven't cooked f-f-for anyone aside Stevie, so c
"I'm still trying to wrap my head around the truth that you're clumsy Thomas," Stevie-Lou told Liam later that day when he was clad in Jake's clothes and they were set to leave. "You were skeptical about accepting the camera from me because you thought I was poor and I spent my life savings to get such a costly camera for you," Liam chuckled to himself."You got that right, who would have ever thought it was Liam Price? No wonder you always tipped down the front of your cap to hide your face, whenever I was near to take a closer look."They laughed over this as they walked side by side. It was fun for Liam, to be with someone he actually had feelings for. Aside from that, no one knew he was Liam Price. A lot had happened and to be honest he didn't fancy being on the news and blogs. Talk about unwanted popularity attracted by his wealth.Stevie-Lou had her camera in her hands, she was taking photos of the things she deemed worthy of her attention. There was a genuine smile on Liam's
"You said I can't pay you back even in the next eight months?" Liam inquired with a raised brow.People were already gathering around that spot, stunned and euphoric to see the almighty Liam Price in person."I'm so sorry, sir," the manager completely turned away from a speechless Finn and bowed for Liam. "How could you ever treat someone like him like that? You're just a shitbag," Finn's date jabbed her fist into his shoulder.Upon seeing this, Liam scoffed to himself. Totally amused by everything. A dumbstruck Finn dropped to his knees and laid flat on the floor, with his hands holding Liam's shoes."Please forgive me," he begged, shivering as if he was near convulsion, "I had no idea that you're Liam Price.""And if I was someone else, as poor as you paraded me, you wouldn't have apologized?" Liam pulled his leg away from Finn's hold.Finn didn't respond to this, he reached for Liam's shoes once more, but Liam stepped back away from him."You're just acting like this because you
"What are we headed to?" Stevie-lou inquired as they got into the car, and Liam took the drivers seat."I have something to show you," Liam announced, turning on the ignition and taking grip of the steering wheel. However, his phone rang at that same time, drawing his focus away from the road for a fraction of a second."Hello?" His face was filled with curiosity as he slammed the phone to his ear.'Is this Liam Price ?' On the other end of the phone, a male voice could be heard."Yes, do we know ourselves?" Liam asked.'Oh, thank God,' Liam could hear the man sigh, 'I am Michael Rogers, sir. Arthur's swimming coach.'"Do you mean Arthur Price, my half-brother?" Liam was intrigued enough to put the phone in his left ear. Stevie-lou, too, seemed serious when he heard this.'Yes, sir.'"Is there any problem?"'Yes. Please accept my apologies for calling you at this time and causing an interruption.'"We're talking about Arthur here, I can suspend anything for his sake."'Fine. Today is a
Charlotte Price was contemplating ways to kill Liam when a cell guard showed up and unlocked her gate."You've been released," he told her.And her eyes rose in their sockets upon hearing this.Was it Hunter? She pondered deeply because Hunter only told her he would bribe the judge.She was led out of the cell and into a changing room after her main outfit was handed to her. She had spent two nights in the cell.She found Hunter waiting outside, in front of his car."How did you do it?" She inquired."It was Liam," Hunter said with a sigh."Liam?" Charlotte was astonished."Yes, he called the prosecutor in charge of the case, told them to drop all charges. So you, Gibson, and the doctor just got released. The trial has been canceled." Hunter informed her.To say Charlotte was shocked was an understatement, she wondered if she had misheard Hunter."I find this very hard to believe, I am Liam's core enemy. Why would he do this?" Charlotte asked no one in particular. Unbeknownst that Lia
The Olympic swimming tournament ended with Arthur Price winning and qualifying for the finals, and the whole place went haywire with people jubilating at this. Authur went to complete the embrace of his family members, he was so euphoric to see them there, he hugged Liam even harder because he wouldn't have made it if not for him.Liam's eyes briefly connected with Charlotte Price, right at the time Authur was nearly choking him with the tight hug. Charlotte glowered at him with contempt, wishing she could strangle him with her bare hands. He made her sleep in the cell for two nights and then called off the case right on the day of Arthur's game. She was pissed off upon seeing her kids give Liam the brotherly treatment, the way they looked at him with nothing but love and admiration in her eyes. Liam didn't look away until Charlotte broke off the glaring competition at last. He felt she thought did her a favor when she had no idea of what was about to hit her in the face.Authur w
Liam bit back a groan as Doctor Reynolds pressed a damp hot towel to his face.A broken nose and swollen cheek were what he sustained from the fight since Ted focused more on his face than every other part of his body. Ted had his own fair share of bruises. It was his twin, Bruce, who separated the fight and took him home. Stevie-Lou left after driving Liam back home because she needed to check up on Jake. So Liam was alone with half of his clique; Sinclair and Doctor Reynolds. "You should have avoided the fight, boss," Sinclair sighed heavily, with his hands on his waist."I tried but he was drunk and relentless," Liam was being defensive when he stopped upon seeing someone at the door."Gibson?" His late father's butler stared at his feet as he quietly made his presence known to everyone. Silence took over the atmosphere as everyone looked at him.Liam dropped all charges so he was released. "Can you give us a moment?" Liam directed this to Doctor Reynolds and Sinclair.Wordl
