Hunter Gail stormed into the Price hotels, wearing just one flip-flop, with his hair disheveled like a rat spent the night there. His suit looked wrinkled and dirty as if he visited the dumpsters before getting there. People stared at him like he had lost being sane, they paved the way for him to pass upon seeing how murderous he looked. Of course, they had seen the leaked video of him and his supposed sister kissing.“Where the fuck is that bastard, Liam motherfucking Price!” He roared like a bill ready to mount on its enemy. Upon seeing Hunter causing a scene in the receptionist area, the Hotel manager called some security to refrain him from doing his worst.“Leave him alone,” Liam ordered immediately as he stepped out of his private elevator. He had been told earlier about Hunter’s arrival.“You!” Hunter sneered with venom from where he was being held by the security. “Release him,” Liam instructed them once more upon seeing how Hunter was struggling to break free from their gri
"I know we started off on the wrong foot due to misunderstandings," Charlotte offered Liam a smile that didn't reach her eyes as she took her seat in his office at the Price Hotel."Just go straight to the point, Charlotte, I don't like seeing your face for long," Liam fought against the urge to glare at her but failed. This woman killed his father."Like I told you earlier, I'm here to strike a deal with you," Charlotte began, holding Liam's gaze."And what could that be?" Liam put his hand on his chin as he looked at her, wondering what she had up to her sleeves this time because she definitely was up to no good."How about you leave the Price Enterprise to me? Since I am his wife and he left me with nothing," Charlotte was bold enough to request this of Liam."What?" Liam's face twisted in a frown as if he clearly misheard her. Did she just ask him to leave his father's company to her?"You've got all of Brandon's money and the real estate business," Charlotte continued, relaxed in
"Is it true we aren't your siblings?" Beatrice popped this question right at the moment Liam returned to the room."Where did you hear that from?" Liam inquired with his eyes lowered in their sockets. Even Arthur and Georgie looked completely different from the way he saw them earlier, more like they were hurt by something."Answer the question," Beatrice continued with a broken voice, "is it true?" She trembled a little after adding this."No, it's not," Liam's forehead was furrowed with worry lines."Don't lie to us, Liam," Beatrice was reaching out for her clutches that stood beside the bed.And Liam paused in his racks, wondering what the hell happened while he was away. Did they by any chance see him with Hunter? Or even Charlotte?Why was Beatrice pinning on that question and why did her brothers wear a gloomy mood?"You're my siblings and I am elder brother to all three of you," Liam easily lied to them because of what Jake told him earlier. Arthur shook his head and rose from
One week later.It was nearing the Price Hotel's 20th anniversary and Liam was to be the host of it all since his father, Brandon Price, was late.Hunter Gail was successfully out of the Price Enterprise and Charlotte was on the low. The only people Liam got to face every day at work were Benjamin, Ted, and Bruce Price. These people were also his enemies, mostly Ted who never ceased to show him how much he hated him since he was with Stevie-Lou, but he still held meetings with the company because they had their own shares in the Price Enterprise."You should let your cousins handle the Price Hotel's upcoming 20th Anniversary, Liam," Benjamin Price suggested when they gathered for the noon meeting that day "And why should I do that?" Liam questioned the cunning old man."Ever since you came," Uncle Benji continued, "you take all the matters of this company into your hand and do things your way. Hunter is out of the picture now, give them a chance to prove they're a part of this compan
"What do you want?" Avery didn't even bother to sit down when she arrived at the snack bar. She finally showed up when Sinclair texted her that Liam wanted them to meet."How have you been, Avery?" Liam stood upon seeing she preferred standing. If he said anything to upset her, she would leave. So it felt like he was walking on eggshells."You don't reply to a question with another question," She was able to put her designer bag on the glass table."I'm sorry," Liam apologized."For?" She uplifted a perfectly shaved brow at him."Whatever I did to upset you this much."Seeing Avery just made Liam realize how much he had missed her. She was his friend and partner, she helped him fight his enemies."I thought you forgot about me," the corners of her mouth curved into a smirk.Liam let out a forced snicker, "I don't think that will be possible. You are my friend." He meant every word, they were good together as partners until her feelings started coming in, and he gave them more room when

Everyone in the hospital's waiting area went to a halt when a man rushed in, carrying a bloody and unconscious woman in his arms."Help!" Liam's shout was so loud that his veins bulge out along his neck. Immediately, doctors rushed in with a gurney, and Avery was put on the gurney before they began rolling it away. Liam had tears streaming down his cheeks as he ran along with the doctors and nurses until he was refrained from entering the Emergency ward. It wasn't the Price hospital but a nearby hospital where Liam had run like a madman, with Avery in his arms, earlier.His body trembled as he sobbed, that for a moment he forgot who he was and the position he held. All he cared about was Avery Duffer.The woman who risked her life to save his. Took the bullets that were meant for him.Thinking about the way she covered her body with his made Liam sob even harder. Why on earth would she do that when he never accepted her feelings?How could she risk her life like that for his sake
Liam didn't return home that night, he stayed at the hospital until he was allowed to go into Avery's ward and there, he could see her laying on the hospital bed with a breathing tube connected to her mouth. Doctor Wesley told him it would take her a long time for her to wake up, some days or even weeks, still, it was enough for Liam as long as she was alive.Still, it hurt to see her that way. She was all alone. No parent, siblings, or even lover, or they would've shown up after hearing the news. Liam could still recall the first time she met with him, it was at his father's funeral when she approached him and introduced herself, before suggesting they work together. He refused to trust her, thought everything about her was suspicious since she was too smart for her own good.A dull pain spread through Liam's chest at this.While sitting on the chair next to her hospital bed, Liam slipped her pale cold hand in his. There was never a time he did something for Avery, or even used his
