The Ingenious Liam Price 85: Unexpected Encounter
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
The Ingenious Liam Price 86: Departing Butler
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
The Ingenious Liam Price 87: Big Tony
Big Tony stood 6'7 and had a massively muscular body. His curly brown hair was tied back in a ponytail, and he had a thick stubble on his chin. His gray eyes betrayed the fact that he had seen way too much for a guy his age, and the scar on his forehead was deep, as if he had gotten into a battle with someone and been sledgehammered.Because he was so tall, he had to drop his head slightly before passing through the entrance doors. He was burlier than all of the bodyguards Liam hired at times.Clad in a black shirt and denim jeans, the strap of a backpack resting on his shoulder, with that perpetual giant frown on his face as he looked at the three men standing in front of him."So…you're Big Tony," Liam's hand was resting on his chin with his eyes lowered in their sockets as they repeatedly did once over at Big Tony's appearance.Big Tony's response was a grunt."He seems like a robot," Sinclair stated before nearing Big Tony's side and poking his finger into Big Tony's chest, "see,
The Ingenious Liam Price 88: Chaos
"Why did you do that?"'He needed to be given the bitter taste of his own medicine.'"But I never asked you to vandalize his car to the fullest extent. You should've let me handle things myself."'Well, you sure have a sluggish way of handling things. You wanted to let him get away with it.'Liam broke into a sigh as he read this. They were heading back home in a different car, with Sinclair driving them. And Liam was still stupefied that Big Tony acted up for his sake. He could still remember the mortified look on Hunter's face and how he screamed so hard that it almost shattered the glass walls."Never act out on your own will, Tony. Wait until I give you an order first," Liam gritted out.'It was to protect you. When they strike you with one, give them one hundred. That will serve as a lesson to not mess with you.' Big Tony held the paper in his face. It was getting filled up so his response was at the end."Are you my bodyguard or my butler?" Liam asked with both his eyebrows rais
The Ingenious Liam Price 89: Tormenting Hunter (I)
Liam couldn't even sleep at his home that night since it was already messed up. He hired people to clean up the mess, sent the injured people to his hospital, and then checked into his hotel to spend the night. He took his men along with him to draft out a plan to teach Hunter Gail a lesson."Charlotte is the love of his life, if you really want to get through to him, you should hurt her," Sinclair suggested."No," Liam shook his head, clearly not interested in doing that. Of course, he wanted to teach Charlotte a lesson before exposing her for killing his father, still, he couldn't hurt her like that when she was the mother of his step-siblings. It was just complicated for him to do so."We don't have to hurt anyone to get through Hunter, he's the one who vandalized my home.""Do you want to call in Miss Avery, so she can help?" Sinclair suggested.Again, Liam shook his head no. Avery was already upset over her unrequited love, he couldn't bother her with his problems right now. She
The Ingenious Liam Price 90: Tormenting Hunter (II)
Hunter Gail was pleased at the realization that Liam didn't show up at the office that day, it made him forget about the maggots he accidentally ate, even though a side of his cheek was swollen as If he got stung by a swarm of bees.He hopped into his car and ordered his PA to drive, unbeknownst that he was being trailed by the black car behind him. ***Liam ran his hands through his hair and sighed. He was still at the hotel, yet to return to his home because he couldn't stand the horrible sight. He planned to not return until everything had been fixed and was intact. His men were already at work, with Sinclair being the mastermind of the whole Hunter's torment. He wanted to get at Hunter quickly but Sinclair suggested they take things slow, so Hunter wouldn't suspect a thing. Whilst Big Tony was ready to pin the man to the floor and crush his skull with his bare hands.Liam lost thirty-six cars in total, apart from his bodyguards who got beaten to a pulp. He was very certain he wou
The Ingenious Liam Price 91: Tormenting Hunter III (The Worst Of It All)
Never in Hunter's life did he imagine to find himself in such a situation, he was in a bar, seated on one of those high stools opposite the bartender's tabletop. He was able to get himself a new pair of pants with the money he had, while the remaining was left for drinking.He kept cursing Liam under his breath as he drank straight from his beer bottle. He couldn't return to his home when dead pigs and their blood occupied everywhere and the sight kept tormenting the shit out of his senses. Sighing, he put the beer bottle on the bartender's tabletop. He couldn't call Charlotte to tell her what he was going through because he didn't want to bother her, but it was eating him up. Hunter slipped out his phone from his pocket, he had gone to fix the screen after damaging it because he had important contacts he couldn't let go of."More three bottles of beer," he told the bartender, who was surprisingly different from the first. This one was a younger male, in his late teens or early twent
The Ingenious Liam Price 92: Stratagem
The news of Charlotte and Hunter seeing each other spread through the whole city like wildfire, people were getting arrested for sharing the videos via the Internet and gluing the images on walls, but some didn't relent because the stuff was posted by Hunter Gail himself, at 3:55 AM in the morning. Even though claims were made that it was an AI-generated video, people knew they were trying to conceal the truth. Charlotte Price couldn't even get out of her room that morning, she just locked herself up and remained there, panicking, making hundreds of phone calls to have everything wiped off because her reputation was about getting dragged in the mud. Online, people called her a witch, a traitor for lying about Hunter being her brother when in fact, the two of them were involved in a secret affair.They even accused her of causing Brandon Price's untimely death because of her cheating and lies. Charlotte had never felt so humiliated before, it was too much for her to take. And the ki

188: The End Or A New Beginning?
Three months later."It's a boy," Liam was trying to keep a straight face but he was woefully failing at it."And?" Avery raised a brow as she put some documents aside. She was in her office and Liam just bursted in without even knocking."We did genetic testing and it turns out that he's truly mine," he told the truth at last and fist-pumped the air in excitement."That's great news, Liam. Congratulations," Avery offered Liam a genuine smile but she still remained in her sitting position."It's still incredulous that I have a son," Liam put his hands on his waist and stared at the ceiling."It feels surreal, right?" Avery asked."He was so tiny that I was afraid he'd fall from my arms," Liam blurted out."And the mother, how is she?" Avery swiftly changed the topic."Chloe is still on treatment, she delivered the child through CS," Liam informed her."She needs a lot of rest, it wasn't easy at all," Avery finally left her seat and went to stand beside Liam."I wish it wasn't her but
187: Justice
It was sort of hard to leave the Cabin when Avery immediately passed out right after Liam embraced her. And there was Stevie-Lou, who couldn't even walk because of the bullet wound she had. It was completely dark outside, almost past 9 PM and Liam could still hear the sirens from afar. Quickly, he put an unconscious Avery on his back before going over to the other room to check up on Stevie-Lou.She was sitting on the floor, her face was dried with tears and her leg was still bleeding."It's all over, Stevie, I'll get you out of here," Liam said softly but Stevie-Lou couldn't even look at him.Liam put Avery on the floor before hurrying to Stevie-Lou's side so he could cut off the ropes from her body since she was tied to a chair as well."I am so sorry, Liam. It's all my fault," She apologized when Liam finally cut off the last of the ropes, and it was obvious that she felt guilty over luring him there."No, don't apologize. Nothing is your fault," Liam didn't mind. At that moment
186: Ticking Time Bomb
"Shit, shit, shit!" Liam swore out loud because he was trying as much as he could to free himself from the ropes, but he could not. He had been trying for the past two minutes and the time bomb on Avery's body was reading 5:22 seconds. And Avery was still unconscious."Avery, wake up!" Liam called out to her.Still nothing. She was unmoving, still in the exact position she was left, while the bomb was still ticking."Wake up, please. You can't die this way. We need to get the bomb from your body. If anyone deserves to live then it's you." The whole room was already smelling like death.And Liam could hear Stevie-lou's sobs from the other room.This was worse than he ever thought.His enemies tricked him, made him sign all his fortune to them and then they ran away, leaving him to die along with the two women who mattered to him.Liam let out a shuddered breath when Avery began stirring until she flicked her eyes open."Avery, can you hear me?" Liam called out to her while she stared
185: Enemies Won?
"Hello, Liam. We have a little surprise for you," Hunter returned with a smirk and then he rubbed his hands together as if he just did a job well done."Where's Avery, what have you done to her?" Liam couldn't help but ask because his heart was already quaking in his chest from the fear of losing Avery."You should see for yourself, don't you think?" Hunter still had his smirk resting on his face.And at this, Liam took a rough gulp. Afraid that they had killed Avery Duffer.Gibson and Ted Price returned, and they didn't untie Liam from the chair, afraid if they did, he would gain the strength to fight back. So they just carried him along with the chair and took him into another room in the cabin.And the sight that greeted Liam would have sent him to his feet if he wasn't already tied to the chair.Avery was still unconscious and she had a ticking time bomb to her body."What have you done!?" Liam was already trembling in his seat, he could feel his heart rising to his throat. "Hurr
184: The Fight
Four hours ago…Avery knew something was up with the way Liam left without paying any attention to her. Normally, he always noticed her but this time he did not. He even ignored her when she called out to him, and it was rather strange.She was about to hop into her car to trail after him when she saw Gibson, the traitor approaching her."Hello there, Avery Duffer," Gibson offered her a little smile as he stopped in front of her and put his hands right behind him.Avery waited for Liam to drive off before she turned to Gibson."You," she sneered at him."Come on now, you can't say you hate me because of what happened," Gibson cast her an innocent look."Your audacity is stinky, sir," Avery insulted, with her eyes showing him how much she was upset with him.And the man chuckled, clearly amused by the way she just spoke to him."How dare you show up here and act like it's not a big deal to betray Liam?" Avery gritted out as she covered the distance between them. He was taller, old enou
183: Torture (II)
They hit Liam with whatever they could find and beat him black and blue until his face was battered and his vision was blurry."We'll only let you live on one condition," panted Hunter as he wiped his bloodied fist on his shirt.Liam's face was already swollen enough that his voice sounded groggy when he tried to speak."Sign these papers and pass out all your inheritance to us, and then we'll let you go without killing you," said Charlotte."And of course the gold, you need to give us the gold," Hunter added.Liam's head fell to his side, he was in so much pain that it hurt to even stay awake."Speak up now or you'll be gone in a matter of seconds," Hunter cocked his gun and aimed it at Liam.And this reminded him of the nightmare he had on two occasions. The one where he dreamt about his downfall and death, and it generated panic attacks which he never had.The nightmare was manifesting itself, even though the people whom he found in the dream weren't complete.Even though it was ju
182: Torture (I)
Liam got in the direction Stevie-Lou had texted him. It was in a remote area, a place that he had never been to before. He wasn't scared, that was the main reason he went alone because he aimed to rescue Stevie-Lou from his cousin. He stopped his car and took the footwalk until he got to the cabin.Liam could feel his heart hammering in his chest as he stared at the cabin.Why on earth would Ted kidnap Stevie-Lou and hurt her? But then again, obsession was a dangerous thing, because it could be that he was mad at Stevie-Lou for ditching him at the wedding and running away with Liam. And then he found out a few weeks later that she was dating Liam. So it hurt him, but that was about four months ago.Liam clenched his jaw as he made his way to the cabin. He didn't know what was waiting for him there, but he knew he could risk it all for Stevie-Lou. She didn't deserve to get hurt, after being through so much in the past months. Indeed, Liam still cared deeply for her. That was why when
181: Luring Liam To A Trap
'Liam?' Stevie-Lou's shaky and tearful voice sounded from the other end of the phone."Stevie?" Liam could barely believe that she picked up her phone to call him. Unbeknownst of her situation.'A-a-are you alone?' She sounded as if she was in so much pain."Yes, Stevie. What's wrong? Are you hurt anywhere?" Liam was genuinely worried for her sake because he still cared for her.I was kidnapped by Ted Price, he lured me into his trap, claiming it was you who wanted to see me. And when I went there, he shot me in the leg and locked me up in this cabin,' Stevie-Lou explained while sobbing."Christ!" Liam swore out loud as he jumped to his feet.'He shot me in the leg, Liam,' she continued."Ted shot you?" Liam could feel his breathing growing deep.'Yes, so I wouldn't run away. And then he left me out here to suffer,''Can you give me a description of this place, so I can come to your rescue?' It was taking everything within Liam to not panic.'I'm afraid if you come with the police, he
180: Stevie-Lou In Danger
