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

    "That's a great idea.” Ruby supported and said to them. "Come on, let's go have lunch. We can discuss the party over lunch.”Miranda stood there staring at her Uncle and Aunt as well as lady Mary. She was speechless as she watched them chatting away and pretended that she didn't exist. Like she wasn't a family member.“Miranda, you're welcome to join us for lunch. If you wish." Ruby said to her but she declined."I'm fine, Aunt.” The invitation sounded like it didn't come from her mind. They didn't like her after all, what's the point of going to dine with them alone. They could only dine together if it was a family dinner.

All that occupied his heart was to get married to Miranda. Whatever she chooses to wear was her choice.“Tell me, do you intend to wear it?" “Maybe, I will.

"Where have you been all these while?” Dr. Johnson was the cosmetic surgeon that was affiliated with Aura cosmetics. Although they didn't work in the same department, the man knows Liam but Liam has never had any physical contact with him.The reason Dr. Johnson knew about Liam was because of the accident he had.Dr. Johnson had contacted the former CEO, Mr. Landon. He wanted Landon to give his approval so that Liam's face would be corrected immediately since he was a staff of the company. And the accident also happened while Liam was at work. Unfortunately, Landon refused because he didn't care if Liam survived the accident or not.And since the power was on his hands, he could do whatever he wanted.“Uh… I've been around.” Liam replied calmly.

We have to start making plans immediately. And Ma'am Miranda should also be carried along." Sean suggested.“Of course. Miranda would be in charge."

    Liam looked at the woman before him for a while before replying to her. "I think it's a little too late to have that conversation. Moreover, Miranda is the one to make all the decisions , not you." “So whatever she wants is what we'll go for and there is nothing you can do about it. It's her wedding, not yours." “You should be grateful if she lets you get involved in it.”Miranda soon showed up before them. Turning to her mother, she probed her. “Mom, I need you guys to leave my house now. I don't want to be forced to throw you out." “This is my daughter's house. I'm not going anywhere."

It was just the singers who were still busy doing their jobs.Aside from the sweet melody that exuded from the rhythm of their songs, the place was quite calm.It was just as Liam had envisaged it.He didn't want it to be crowded and only wanted a serene environment to propose to his heartthrob.After pulling out of the kiss, Liam led her to the empty space where they began to dance while lost in their world with Miranda's head on his chest.They danced for a few minutes and went to have dinner at a special table that had been set for them.After their dinner, Liam drove her back home.“I'll come over and pick you up after work tomorrow.
