Swiftly, the cab driver drove off but Miranda asked him to drive to the nearest police station.

“Please, that's my husband and I need to make a report for kidnapping. Drive to the nearest police station."

"Ma'am, please I need to go home to my family. I can't drive to any police station right now. What if the kidnappers are waiting on the way for us?” The cab driver was too terrified to go to the police.

"What if they kill your husband if we go to the police?” The man asked, causing Miranda's heart to start pounding.

“But who would want to kidnap him, he's not a rich person that can pay them some ransom." Miranda thought about her family and their opposition towards her marriage with Liam. They'd never bring out a dime for any ransom.

Unfortunately, her restaurant was just a small one which only earned her a few thousand dollars. Where would she get the money to pay for her husband's release if asked for a ransom?

After thinking about it carefully, Miranda said to the cab driver. “

    Turning to her father who was wearing an indifferent look, Miranda glared at him and shook her head.“Even you Dad. Are you also supporting your wife by disregarding that my husband's life is in danger?"Eric said nothing. After a moment of silence, he let out a sigh and said to Miranda. “Well, there's nothing we can actually do if we want to do something."“Why don't you go and report the incident at the police station.”"You didn't think that I'd already thought about that." Miranda snapped at her parents. She was visibly angry and could not believe how heartless her parents had become.“Don't you think that his life would be in more danger if I went to the police? I believe that they'd call and ask for ransom."“And who's going to pay the ransom?" Patricia asked, her voice devoid of any emotions. She just didn't care about Liam and anything that concerned him.“We're not ready to pay, even if we have the money." She added coldly. “And it will be hopeless to ask lady Mary or your un

    The couple's moment lasted for over a minute before Miranda pulled out. She was so emotional and indeed happy that her husband was safe.“Tell me what happened? Who are those people that kidnapped you and how did you escape them?" Miranda was asking many questions at the same time and Liam had to hush her.“It's ok, I'm fine now. Let's just go inside the house and I'll tell you everything.”Without another word, Miranda nodded her head and led the way. They got into the apartment and found her parents engrossed in watching TV. They both acted like nobody entered the house when they heard Liam's voice.“Mom, Dad, Liam is back. Won't you even ask what happened to him and how he was able to escape the place."Patricia let out a dry chuckle and turned to face the couple. “What did I tell you earlier? I don't care if he was even dead. All I care about is that he divorces you and lets you be with Tyler."Liam was pained by the harsh words his mother in-law just spoke.Did she really hate hi

    Liam smiled at his wife and went ahead to hold her hands. “I'll tell you everything that transpired between me and the kidnappers. But first, you need to go and take a bath. Change into something clean and come back."“I'm waiting for you."After casting a disappointed look at her husband, she let out a deep sigh and went into the bathroom. After about five minutes, she came out and found Liam already fast asleep.They were a couple but didn't share the same bed. Liam was sleeping on the large Sofa in the room while Miranda had the bed all to herself.Sometimes she felt bad and selfish for letting Liam sleep on the Sofa while there was enough space on the king-sized bed. Oftentimes she's asked Liam to join her on the bed but he kept refusing. He has true feelings for her and didn't want to violate her. He can only share the bed with her when she'd confessed her love for him. As long as her feelings for him were yet to develop, Liam would not get any closer. He wanted to give her eno

    It was Patricia knocking on the door. The couple turned at once to glance at the door before Miranda spoke in a whisper, ignoring the knock. “How can you be so sure? Did any of the men confess? And you're yet to tell me how you even escaped."Liam sighed and continued. "They took me to a lonely path and beat me up. Fortunately, I managed to untie the rope used in binding me up. I beat them all up and they fled because they were no match for me.”Miranda didn't believe her husband. How could he beat up three able men all by himself."What? How did you do that?”The bang on the door came again and Miranda had to go open the door."Mom? Do you need anything?”Patricia said nothing. Instead, she casted a glare at Liam and spoke coldly to him.“Where is the breakfast you made?" Liam and Miranda exchanged glances before she said to him. "I'll go ahead now. See you guys later."“I'll call you to find out how it went." Liam said to her and she smiled and left the two of them.When Miranda l

    “You. What are you doing here?" He asked, feigning to be confused. He had already seen from the cameras all that transpired between the cousins. He had also called Liam to inform him on the recent development. “Yes, it's me." Piper replied while smiling broadly at the man."I'm representing Top Notch interiors in place of my cousin so I came here to sign the contract.” Piper was still smiling at the man while she spoke.Turning his face towards the direction of the door, Sean pointed his hand at the entrance and said to Piper with furrowed brows."Was that not Miss Miranda who just walked out of that door? How come both of you came here at the same time? Are you sure she's not in conflict with this new development.”Piper chuckled lightly before replying to Sean. "Miranda is perfectly fine with the new arrangement. So don't worry about that.”She suddenly furrowed her brows and raised a finger as if trying to remember something. "And I heard you address her as a Miss." Piper said an

    After Liam left, Miranda felt quite relieved and better. Her husband's words had done some magic. Perhaps it was best not to think about the whole situation. It's not her fault if Lady Mary and the others didn't like her.She decided to join her girls to attend to the customers. Miranda had just served a few tables when a thought crossed her mind. She was yet to call Hailey who rushed out of her restaurant the previous day. Something must have happened and Miranda was yet to find out. Once she was behind the cash register, Miranda took out her phone and called Hailey. The phone rang a few times but she didn't pick up.She also tried Jane's number and she didn't pick as well.“Where the heck did they keep their phones? I hope all is well?" Miranda muttered to herself as she continued to attend to customers.After a while, the two friends walked into her restaurant and helped themselves to a table.Swiftly, Miranda ran to meet up with them. She drew out an empty seat and sat on it whi

    “Miranda." She turned around to see Piper striding towards her with so much rage. Miranda could see that her cousin was angry and kept wondering what the problem was.It was Piper who took away the contract she earned for Top Notch interiors. Why was she angry when she should be jubilating over her new feat?“How dare you?"Piper rushed over and gave her a dirty slap.Shocked, Miranda placed her hand on her cheek and gave Piper a dirty look. She turned around and saw that a few people noticed the incident that transpired.“What was that for?" Miranda was now furious but had to pull herself together. It would be a taint on her good image if she were to retaliate and end up fighting with her cousin.If Piper had slapped her at a secret place, devoid of people stares, she would not take it. “Why did you have to slap me?" Miranda asked in a raised voice as she glared at Piper.“What did you do?" Piper asked her in a very serious tone and got her more confused. “What are you talking abo

    “Who is it?" Theophilus asked and it turned out to be his secretary. She used to be Landon's secretary when he was the CEO. However, Landon was no longer the CEO of Aura cosmetics. “Sir, someone is here to see you. Her name is Allison Weston and she claims to be a model.” The lady spoke from outside and the two men exchanged looks.Liam was confused. How did she know that they were looking for a model?Aura cosmetics didn't make any public announcement about looking for a model. They were still in the process of scrutinizing their candidates through their social media pages.It was only Hailey who once had a deal with them that knew about their new product.“Wow! Allison. You must have ears everywhere.” Liam muttered to himself. Theophilus turned to Liam to find out about his opinion and saw that he was shaking his head.“I already told you earlier. I don't want her as my model. Ask her to leave now." After a deep sigh, Theophilus asked his secretary to come inside and she stepped

If I knew that you didn't have any money, I wouldn't have carried you in my cab." Without a word, Liam stared at the man for a while before commenting. "I'm so sorry about that. It's just that I don't have any money on me. If you'd wait for me, then let me go and get your money inside.”"I promise not to waste any more of your time.

    Not one of them could overpower him since he mastered the act of self defense.Liam beat the men all up that they could not stand up from the ground.When Korra came to fight him, he struck her with just a punch and she fell on the ground.Liam gazed at her for a while and lowered himself before uttering coldly. “I thought you were a nice person and to think that I was already falling for you because of how you treated me." “Well, it turns out that I was wrong. You're a gangster who dupes people of their hard earned money. You're not an honorable person.”Liam stared at the others who were still wincing in pain on the ground.He had beaten them up so badly that it'd be hard for them to stand up and fight him again.He returned his gaze back to Korra and said to her."I'll be back for you guys.” He stood up and began to walk away.

    “Damn, Stranger. You must be really hungry to eat like that.” Slim tried to interrupt Liam who did not pay heed to him.“Slow down, ok, so you don't choke. You must know that we have a lot to do today and no one is going to take you to the hospital if you choke.”Liam turned to stare briefly at him before turning to drink some water.He was the first person to finish eating and quickly stood up.Liam went to the sitting room and sat down on one of the Sofas.He had observed the whole place and seen that the doors were locked. It was to prevent him from running away.Liam lowered his head while deep in his thoughts. However, he was jolted awake by a loud tap on his shoulder.“It's time." Slim said to him.“Come with me, we've set up one of the rooms which will serve as our office from now henceforth.”Slim led the way while Liam followed. However, he stopped halfway and refused to go further.“I'm sorry, I can't do it anymore.” Liam uttered while still standing at a spot. He kept a ver

    “Shut that mouth of yours." Slim barked angrily with bloodshot eyes.“You don't make the rules so you have no right to tell us what's right and wrong.”With furrowed brows, Parker added. “And who cares about their feelings? Do we look like people who give their two cents about our victims?" Liam swallowed hard but said nothing. Things were really getting out of hand and he had no idea what to do about it.The situation was getting serious.After a moment of silence, Slim walked towards Liam and patted him on the back before commenting.“Look, Stranger. Don't worry yourself about what we do or about our victims. I'm sure that they'll be fine, so relax.”"In fact, I think I know what you need right now." Slim went over to the bar and brought out a bottle of whiskey and four glasses. When he came back to the dining table, he passed the glass to each of them but Liam refused to take it.“I'm fine, I don't want to drink." He declined politely but coldly and got Slim angry.“Take it, now

    "Hacking skill.” Liam muttered to himself. He gave each of them a quick glance before shaking his head in disagreement.“You must be mistaken. I don't have any hacking skills.”"Of course, you do. You've just proven it by opening this email account. Something that I've been trying to do for some time now, it's always been unsuccessful.”At that moment, Korra stood up from the chair and said to them,"I have to go and fix dinner. You guys get on with it.”.While Korra left the table, Liam's eyes followed her. He wished he could follow her so she could explain everything to him.At that moment, he was confused and he believed that Korra was the one to answer his questions.He only asked them to look for a job for him and they were asking him to do what he didn't understand.“We're waiting to hear from you Mr. Stranger."

It was still family over everything.They were the only family that Korra had.Although she was not happy that the men would be getting rid of Liam after using him.

But as it stands, things might no longer go the way she had planned.If Liam had regained his lost memories earlier, he would have been gone by now and his life won't be in danger.Slim pulled out of the embrace and asked Korra, staring into her eyes. “Are you ready for us to face him?" Korra nodded her head. "Yes. We need this to improve our standard. We need to be the richest and we could leave the country when we hit it very big.”"When we make a lot of money, we will flee this place for good.
