The next morning, as early as the first flicker of dawn, Liam was up on his feet, standing tall in front of his mirror with a bright smile on his face. The joy that radiated inside him was unexplainable, and he tried everything he could to figure out the reason why he was happy. “A penny for your thought?” Brina appeared behind him, putting on a grey jumpsuit with a helmet on her head. Liam was surprised at her dressing when he saw her reflection in the mirror, and he was forced to turn around instantly to look at her. “What is that? What are you wearing?”“Oh, you mean this? You like?” Brina gestured to her outfit, looking at Liam with a bright smile on her face. “Hell, no! You look like a road worker, Brina!” “Well, I saw some men by the roadside putting this on, and I decided to try it out. I think I like the way it feels on my body. It’s so free and light.” Brina lifted her right leg, and that was when Lim realized that she also had black rubber boots on. “You are unbel
As soon as Liam heard the knock on the door, he turned to look at Brina, but she disappeared at once, leaving him alone with the ostrich which started whistling while it continued walking around the room. “Hey? Can you be quiet? Shhh!” Liam placed his index finger above his lips while he continued looking at the ostrich. The nervousness that engulfed him made perspiration run down his body as he thought of what to do. A few seconds later, the knock came back, this time, it was louder than the previous one, and Liam gestured his hands toward the ostrich in other to turn it back into a vase, but it continued moving around. “Can you stay at a place? Stop moving around!” Liam stole a glance at the door when he heard the knock for the third time. Realizing that he was too distracted and nervous to make use of his powers, he went after the ostrich and led it into his bedroom before he shut the door and rested his back against it. “Quiet, you creature! Quiet!” He said with a loud whi
Clad in one of the luxurious outfits he found in the wardrobe, Liam walked down to the dining hall with Noah’s backpack in his hand. He quickly had breakfast, and then walked out of the building only to see Rebecca walking toward him with a black tablet in her hands. “Miss West? I don’t remember asking you to come today.” “Good morning, Lord Emrys.” Rebecca greeted Liam while she took a few steps closer to him just before she stopped with a smile on her face. She remained silent afterward, but Liam waited patiently fit her to give an explanation regarding the reason why she was in the Castle that morning. “You still haven’t said anything, Miss West,” Liam said impatiently, and then he took a glance at the time on his wristwatch, realizing that he was almost late for school. A few seconds later, Andy appeared, and stood in front of one of the black cars parked next to Liam. He saw that Liam was standing with his Personal Assistant, and decided to wait patiently. “I have a
Liam got out of the car with Noah’s backpack in his hands, and as soon as he shut the door behind him, he saw Larry’s Lamborghini driving toward the parking lot, and he decided to remain where he was standing without saying a word. Most of the students in the school had gone in for their lectures and the few who were still around the vicinity were either on their way to their various classrooms or were busy with one thing or the other. Liam checked the time on his wristwatch, and realized that he still had about fifteen minutes till the time for the first lecture. “That’s more than enough time.” He nodded with a smirk on his face just before he lowered his right hand and placed the backpack very close to him on the ground before he folded his arms, patiently waiting for the Lamborghini to park. “Is that not that punk? Why the hell is he standing there?” Dan said from the backseat, looking at Liam with so much annoyance all over him. His words got to Pamela who wasn't looking,
Dan was dumbfounded as well while he stared at Liam with so much shock in his eyes, not sure if holding him was a really good idea. “Is that the best you’ve got? I said it, Larry. You do punch like a girl, or even a chicken. I gave you a lot of credits, you punch like a chicken.” Liam chuckled loudly, looking at Larry who was pissed off intensely by his words. “You think I punch like a chicken? Just hold on, I will show you that I don’t punch like a chicken!” Larry rolled his right arm to gather momentum, and when he was satisfied, he clenched his fist again, and released another punch on Liam’s face, making sure that he did it with all his energy. Instead of hurting Liam just like Larry intended, his knuckles cracked, and the severe pain he got from the impact made him grunt. Certainly, his fist was dislocated, and he felt the pain down to his shoulder, causing him to take two steps backward while Liam sniggered at him. “Poor Larry! Are you hurt? I didn’t think you were tha
Pamela moved closer to Larry, and when she saw that Larry was almost out of breath as his eyes rolled backward, she gasped. “Just let him go! There is no way he is going to confess with the way you are holding him! I beg you!” Pamela pleaded with a shaky voice, almost kneeling while she struggled with the fright that engulfed her. “Fine! I will listen to you!” Liam agreed to do what Pamela said even though he felt so much anger each time he looked at her, he returned his gaze to Larry whose mouth was wide open, and then he sighed softly. “Make sure you tell me what I want to hear or the next one will lead to your death!” Liam let go of Larry who fell to the ground at once, making a loud thud while he gasped for air, breathing frantically in an attempt to regain full consciousness. “Larry? Are you okay? Can you hear me?” Pamela said anxiously while she moved toward Larry, knelt down beside him, and grabbed him by his shoulders. Larry coughed severally, and when he saw Liam st
Larry was taken to the school clinic alongside Dan to have their injuries treated, and when they were attended to, they moved to the Dean’s office alongside Pamela who reluctantly followed them. Meanwhile, Liam was seated in the classroom with no one seated by his side. All the students in the classroom were listening to what the professor standing in front of the class was saying when one of the professors in charge of discipline walked into the room with a worrisome expression on her face. Seeing her was enough to cause a little tension in the minds of the students, especially those who had done one or two things that could get them punished. She was never a bearer of good news. Each time she came into a classroom, especially whenever she didn’t have any lectures with them, she always came to summon a student who may have defaulted in one way or the other. Without being told, Liam knew the reason why she was there, and he chuckled softly while some of the students who saw th
Liam had his eyes on Pamela from the moment she was asked to narrate what happened by Mrs. Evans. From the look on her face, he was certain that she was going to lie against him, but he wasn’t perturbed by that. “Go on, Miss Wilson. We are listening.” Henry said when Pamela had been silent for over five seconds. Everyone had their eyes on her, including Dan who couldn't say a word while he struggled with the pain all over his body. He seemed to have collected more beatings than Larry, and at that moment, he was thinking of quitting his friendship with Larry. Pamela lifted her face slowly to look at Liam, and as soon as she saw that he was already staring at her, she withdrew her face at once and bent her head to the ground. “Go on, Pamela. Everyone is waiting.” Larry whispered to her, gesturing with his hands in an attempt to urge her to tell them their own version of the story. “We were on our way to lectures this morning when we saw him standing in the parking lot…” Pamela b
