As soon as Noah set his eyes on the castle after they had passed through the gates, he gasped and turned to look at Liam with a shocking expression on his face. “You live here?” “Mm-hmm.” Liam nodded in response, maintaining the smile on his face while he looked at Noah who couldn’t believe his eyes. “No way! This is a castle, Emrys, a very big castle! I have never seen a castle before, I can’t believe that a place like this still existed! Look at the gardens everywhere, the water fountain! The statues! Everything is beautiful!” Noah gasped again while his eyes looked through the windows of the car which drove to the front of the castle where it parked. Andy got down at once, and opened the back door for Liam who alighted from the car with a smile on his face. “Thank you, Andy.” Liam looked at Noah who was still shocked at everything he saw, and he shook his head while chuckling at the same time.“Come on, Noah. You are not going to stay there forever.” “Yeah! I am coming
The sight of Rebecca made Noah stop the delicious meal he was eating. He totally forgot that he was famished while staring at the beauty standing close to the table, clad in a beautiful long black gown that clung to her body. “Miss West? You are here.” “Yes, Lord Emrys. You have an important meeting at the company, all the employees in the company have been informed, and they will be at the conference hall soon.” Rebecca said calmly before she slowly lifted her face from the tablet she was holding onto with both hands. She looked at Liam with a smile on her face, but he maintained his deadpan expression. “Is there anyone who wouldn’t be able to make it to the meeting, Miss West? I need you to confirm that everyone will be there at the meeting because I wouldn’t want anyone to miss what I have to say. Can you do that?” Liam waited for Rebecca to give him a response, but she was carried away while staring at him with her eyes wide open while she fantasized about the ideas that roa
Noah couldn’t believe his ears when he heard the words from Liam. He stared at him for a while, trying to be certain that the words he heard from him were true. “You are going to get me clothes?”“Yes, Noah! Come on!” Liam stood up from his seat while he gestured to Noah to do the same without discarding his smile. “You can keep your backpack right there, you will pick it up as soon as we are back.” Noah took a glance at his backpack, and then he stood up from his seat before he followed Liam out of the building. The guards standing in front of the building bowed to Liam as soon as they saw them coming out, and that fascinated Noah who wondered the kind of power he had. “Lord Emrys? You are going out?”“Yes, Andy! I was about to send for you.” Liam said to the Chauffeur after he appeared from a corner of the premises, holding onto his cap with both hands. “Where to, Lord Emrys? Which of the cars are we going with?”“Let me see…” Liam looked at the cars parked all over t
Liam took in a deep breath which he met out slowly in an attempt to get a grip on himself. The demeanor of the saleslady pissed him off greatly, and he tried as much as he could to stop himself from reacting. He looked at Noah, but he seemed to be unbothered about all of that while he occupied his eyes with admiring the suits in front of them. “These are really nice, Emrys! I have never worn a suit before, this is going to be my first time. I am super excited!”“Yeah, I guess.” Liam managed to smile at Noah while he struggled with his anger. He looked toward the direction the saleslady had gone and saw that she was speaking to some other people with an excited smile on her face. From the look of things, they appeared rich, and she placed much value on them because of their appearance. “Who are those people?” Noah said when he realized that Liam had been staring at them with a smirk on his face. “Why would she keep us standing for so long? That’s unprofessional!” Noah finally re
The hungry and thirsty customers at the Blackwood Diner sat at different corners, making orders, and consuming the food and drink served to them. Liam Robinson was one of the waiters, a twenty-three-year-old College Student in Boston, who had dreams of becoming a medical Doctor someday and struggled to achieve his dreams. Liam was an orphan who grew up in a foster home all through his life, and knew nothing about his identity. He managed to secure a scholarship in one of the prestigious Colleges in Boston and had to deal with the ridicule and callous demeanor he received from fellow students who bullied him and even some of his lecturers who felt he didn’t deserve to be in Hilton College. Clad in his waiter uniform, and with tiny sweatballs running down his face, he carried the cup of black coffee on the tray and walked toward table 22. “This is the last order.” He whispered to himself amidst the anticipation that made him forget about his exhaustion. “Here is your cup of c
Liam was speechless, he couldn't believe what was happening as it was happening fast. Standing there at a corner of the hall amidst the loud music and the crowd that was dancing and drinking to mark the end of the year, Liam felt tears trickling down his cheeks. “Oh, no. Poor thing. Don’t cry.” Larry placed his right hand on Liam’s shoulder, pretending to care about him. “Get your filthy hands off me!” Liam hit Larry’s hand off his shoulder, fuming with so much annoyance. “You think you can do whatever you like because you are rich! How dare you try to steal my girlfriend from me?” Liam voiced out angrily, and then he turned to look at Pamela whose eyes fired shots of displeasure at him. “Pam love? Please, tell me this is a joke. Look, I got you this.” Liam quickly opened the box and pulled out the necklace“I have been saving up for this, and I just finished completing the payment. It's perfect.” Liam tried to wear it on Pamela. “Get that cheap thing away from me!” Pamela
“Emrys! Wake up!” “Emrys! Wake up!” Liam heard the loud whispers, but he wasn't sure if he was supposed to open his eyes or not. “Emrys! It’s time! Wake up!” The whisper returned, and this time, it was louder, causing Liam to attempt to open his eyes almost immediately, but it felt as though he couldn't control his body. Suddenly, the memories of the encounter of the previous night surged into his mind, and he grunted in pain, shaking his head as he saw flashing images of his body plummeting from the tall building until he crashed to the ground and blacked out silently. He gasped! His eyes opened widely, and he blinked severally, panting at the tension that he felt all over him. “Where am I?” His mind questioned as he saw the bright stars that looked like they could be reached with a single jump, and the color of the atmosphere was glittery like nothing he had ever seen before. “Is this…heaven?” He struggled with the uncertainty that nestled in his mind as he looked arou
Brina smiled gracefully, pleased that Liam had shown interest in the quest. Her eyes brightened up with its glow, and she took two steps closer to Liam who stood still with his eyes staring at her. “The Island of Aeaea is located at the end of the ancient forest, far beyond the cursed mountains where the trolls lived. Circe chooses to live alone with her maidens where no mortal dares to trespass on.” “Oh. That sounds far. How do I get there? Do you have a car or maybe a horse?” Liam inquired anxiously, causing Brina to chuckle instantly. “There are no cars here, Emrys. And the horses you speak of have all gone into hiding after the darkness that came upon the forest.” “Oh,” Liam mumbled in a little disappointment, and then he sighed heavily. “Worry not, Warlord. I know just the perfect means to get you there in no time.” Brina said, igniting the sparkle of hope that was almost lost. “You might want to step back a bit.” She warned, but Liam stood still, his mind harboring
