"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.

Miranda believed that her uncle and his family were selfish and could only think of anything that'll benefit them.

They were celebrating over the result of her hard work and didn't care about how she felt.

As the happy family made their way to the main building, a car honked, pausing them on their tracks.

Soon Allison made her way to where they stood. Her expressi

    Later that evening, Liam found his way back to his wife's diner. The shop was already closed for the day. However, Miranda was not yet getting ready to go home. Her assistants were already off, leaving her all by herself.Since the door was closed from inside, Liam had to knock on it.“We're closed for the day." A sad voice replied from the inside. "Mira, it's me, Liam.”Miranda turned around and glanced at the glass door where she saw her husband waving at her. After staring at her husband who seemed happy, Miranda went to open the door. “Liam?"Liam walked inside and quickly noticed the look on his wife's face. At that instant, he concluded that she must be in a bad mood.“Mira, you look so sad. What is the problem?" Miranda shook her head. At first, she didn't want to say anything but decided against it.Liam was her husband so she had to tell him what the problem was."It's Piper.”Liam furrowed his brows and held her hands. They went ahead and sat down at the nearest chairs."

    The couple soon got into a cab and Liam said to the driver. “Take us to the Mall."“No, take us to the park, I'm not in the mood for shopping tonight.” Miranda instructed the driver and got him confused. Liam was also confused. With furrowed brows, Liam turned to her in a questioning gaze.“Why don't you want to go shopping?"“Nothing, I just changed my mind. Maybe next time, you can take me shopping." Miranda could not get herself to tell her husband the reason she changed her mind about shopping. She didn't want him to spend the little savings he had on her.Liam, on the other hand, knew what his wife was thinking but didn't say anything. He decided to go with whatever decision she takes."Sir, Ma'am. Have you both decided on where to go?"The cab driver asked and Liam replied. “Yeah, just drive to the park."“Ok, the park it is then." The man nodded and took off to the new destination. In less than thirty minutes, they were at Dublin city national park. A lot of people were seen i

    Jane rolled down her window and found Liam waving at her which caused her heart to skip.She swallowed hard and said to him. “You startled me, Liam. Tell me what you want from me?”“You've taken away my source of livelihood, what more do you want from me?"Liam smiled at her and the smile soon turned to a frown.“I came here to give you a reminder." He spoke with a smirk on his face. "If you say anything about our last encounter to anyone, I'd make sure your banking career is over.” Liam threatened and got Jane sweating profusely. Liam had gotten her fired and was still coming to threaten her.Jane tilted her head and replied calmly. “I've heard you and also have no intention of revealing anything to anyone.”"Good.” Liam said to her and turned his face to see Hailey approaching. "Very well then, I have to go now but you must know that my eyes are on you.”Jane said nothing while Liam left her alone."What were you discussing with Liam? I'm sure it was him who just left here.” Hailey

    Kent glanced at the couple and nodded. "Oh, that's ok. I'll go ahead right now.”From what he could deduce about the couple, they seemed to be happy together. Liam also looked like a very caring husband even though he looked poor.Liam nodded back at his highschool friend and turned to leave with Miranda."A reunion is good and I think you should follow him. By doing so, you'd catch up with your old classmates whom you've not seen for many years.” Miranda suggested while stopping in her tracks.“Are you sure you'd be fine on your own?" Liam asked and she nodded in agreement. “Of course, go ahead."Liam turned around and saw that Kent had left the place.“Alright then, I have to get you into a cab before leaving.”Liam led his wife out and stopped a cab for her before getting into another cab that'll take him to the Nest hotel. It was at the place his classmates were having a reunion, according to Kent. As the couple drove to their various destinations, Miranda took out her phone and

    “Really, Mom?" Miranda retorted but Patricia raised a finger before her, silencing her.“I'm not finished yet."Letting out a deep sigh, Patricia raised her hands in despair. She glanced around the sitting room and her eyes finally settled on the table before her. There was a glass of fresh orange juice she had earlier poured for herself.Taking the glass up, she took a few sips of the drink to calm herself down. Her younger daughter had refused to listen. And her excessive worrying was giving her sleepless nights. “You left him standing like a fool and went ahead to board a cab. What is your problem, Miranda?"“I didn't want Liam to be angry if he saw me coming down from his rival's car. Remember, I'm married to Liam and getting into Tyler's car is a disrespect to my husband."Patricia could not believe her ears. Miranda was still getting worried about Liam when she should be ditching him.She suddenly rose and glared down at Miranda. “You will apologize to Tyler and something like

    When Liam got into the hall where the reunion was being held, all eyes turned to his direction. He could also hear some people whispering among themselves. Some were casting him with disgusting looks while a few others didn't care if he was there.“Who's that guy and what is he doing here?" Some could not recognize him at just a glance because of the scar on his face. “I think he looks really familiar. I'm trying to figure out where I know him from."“Maybe he's one of our classmates. Since he came for the reunion. Who must have invited such a man?"The people kept whispering among themselves and one of them suddenly remembered Liam.“Wait, is that not Liam? The pauper who was on a scholarship those years. It's definitely him."“That's true, I think I remember him now. He used to be very handsome those days but he's different now. That scar on his has made him ugly." Ignoring the little gossip, Liam scanned the crowd of people in search of Kent. His friend who had invited him.He c

    Kent dragged Liam out of the place because he didn't want them to start fighting at that place. With the way things were going, Liam would certainly fight back if Neo struck first.It was a reunion where they had gathered to celebrate. It wasn't right to fight at such a place. Somehow, Kent regretted why he invited Liam. But after thinking it through, he concluded that it was the right thing to do. Liam was no longer that naive young man from high school. A lot of time has passed and everything has changed. It was only normal that he wouldn't take Neo's insults. “I'll find you and make you pay for challenging me. For now, you can run but you won't be able to hide from me." They heard Neo's angry voice from behind but ignored him. Liam believed that he was just a noise maker. Neo had been a nuisance since high school and it was time to make him pay. Because he came from a rich family, he thinks he can treat people the way he likes. “Just ignore him." Kent said to his friend who no

    “Are my eyes deceiving me? Is that really you, Liam?" Tyler approached the friends from the VIP.He was stunned to see Liam at such a place where only the rich patronized. Liam was just the live-in son-in-law of the Westons' family who happened to be very poor.“What is a loser like you doing here?"Liam clenched his fists and tried to hold himself from punching the son of a bitch before him.Tyler was a scumbag and Liam thought that it was time to deal with him. Especially after what he pulled off the last time. Liam ignored Tyler and began to walk to the seat Kent had earlier pointed for them to sit. Kent also followed behind but Tyler didn't let him be.“I asked you a question, you scumbag." Tyler cursed but Liam ignored him and continued towards the seat.“Maybe we should leave this place. It seems like tonight is not a good one for you." Liam chuckled and turned to see Tyler speaking with one of the bouncers."Well, what can I say? Trouble seems to follow me everywhere I go.”"
