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.”"
Tyler hissed a thousand times before he started the car and drove out of the place. He was so pissed that if those men who lied to him were close by, he'd have strangled one of them to ease the anger. Meanwhile, Liam got back to meet with his friend who was sipping a drink. He pretended like nothing happened. However, Kent was confused.He could see the delightful look on Liam's face and wondered what must have transpired outside. Liam, who ran after Tyler in a very bad mood, came back in a high spirit. He was even smiling broadly and humming when he walked up to Kent.“What's going on, Liam? You look cheerful and different from the person who walked out that door a few minutes ago." Kent said as he passed over Liam's bottle of drink to him.Liam took the beer, opened it and poured some on the glass for himself.“I just gave him a piece of my mind. That's all." Liam replied and began to gulp down his drink. He was so happy that he drank a few more bottles before the questioning gaze
“I can't believe that you just said all that, Dad." Miranda voiced out in confrontation as she glared at her father, still shaking her head.“We both know that you've never done anything to stand up for me before. This isn't the first time they're treating me badly but you never get to do anything." Eric turned to stare at his daughter before replying.“You're my daughter and there's no way I'll let anyone treat you badly.”“It's just that you only listened to Liam and decided to go against your family. Why do you have to steal the contract that belonged to the family company?" With her mouth open Miranda gaped at her father and turned to look at Liam.Her father's words were nothing to write home about. How can such a man be her father when he doesn't even see that she was being treated unjustly by her own family. The family of her uncle.Eric's words sounded like he was supporting his brother and the family. That was really unfair.“Are you really my Dad?” Miranda questioned when
"Don't listen to them. Now that I'm here, they can't do anything to you anymore.” Liam assured her while tucking some of hair behind her ears.As the couple stood there conversing, they pretended not to notice the people glaring at them.Piper, Allison and their parents were visibly fuming at that moment.“Liam, are you deaf? I said you should get the hell out of this place." Lady Mary barked at him.“Yeah, you heard lady Mary. Leave this place immediately." Piper added.“Ofcourse, I'm leaving with my wife. Moreover, who wants to stay in such a place that only gives off negative energies." Liam left them dumbfounded with his response. He scrutinized everyone and turned to his wife.“Come on, Mira. Let's get out of here." With her left hand tucked into his arm, Liam led the way as they started towards the door.As the couple walked out of the place, Piper and her family were completely speechless.While they were headed to the door, they heard fast footsteps behind them. Before they
Miranda would be going to the Villa to see the Old Lady and he needed to be by her side, supporting her and preventing her from being bullied.Swiftly, he commanded the driver. “Take me out of here, immediately." Liam dialed Miranda's number and it kept ringing without being answered.At that moment, he believed that Miranda was already at the Villa.“Hurry up and drive me out of here." When Liam left the place, Neo was still lying on the ground. For a while, he remained at the place and could not move.Neo was still trying to comprehend what just happened.Liam beat him up like a child and he could not fight back.He couldn't even lay a hand on Liam throughout the fight. It was just like Liam was invincible.His thoughts kept drifting away in search of the solution to his current predicament. What was he going to do with Liam? And who was Liam, anyway? The man who just beat him up and walked away freely.He even has some men with him who looked like they were taking orders from h
Neo was no longer taking the kidnap seriously because he saw Liam. He believed that everything was a joke.With his hands on his waist, Neo stood face to face with Liam and began to laugh.“Wow, Liam. I'm really happy for you at your new job. You didn't tell me that you joined a circus." “Seriously, I must commend you on this new feat." Neo ran his eyes around all of them at the place. He returned his gaze back to Liam and continued to tease him.“This costume you got is really dope. It looks so different from the regular circus costumes." “Tell me Liam, what is the name of your group and what do you guys do?" Liam remained silent and only watched Neo continue to make a fool of himself.He then turned around and glanced at his guards before turning his face to meet with Neo's gaze.When he saw that no one was saying anything, he kept a serious expression and inquired.“So tell me, Liam. Why have you brought me here? Is there something you want from me.”"Yes, I want something from
Everyone in the car got ready for the action ahead. They were waiting for Neo's car to drive by.Neo, on the other hand, had no idea that he was being targeted.As usual, Neo got into his car and was about to start it. Unfortunately, he did not inspect the car before getting into it.Well, that has never crossed his mind before because he felt he had nothing to fear.As soon as he was about to start the car, he noticed that someone was in the back seat. The man was wearing all black clothes and also had a mask on.He pointed a gun at Neo and he was about to yell but was shut up.“If you shout and draw attention here, I'll blow your brains off. Think about it before making your next decision." The man threatened him in a very serious voice and Neo saw that he meant business.He was so in trouble. Who could have sent someone after him?As Neo's thought about the situation, he could not place his hands on anyone who he had offended.Carefully, he tried to reach for his phone while askin
For a moment, Liam said nothing. He was thinking about what his wife just said.It was a ploy and he was sure of that. They might try to get her to transfer the project funds to them.Moreover, she was only one person and they were more than one.What if they convince her and were able to change her mind.Liam was the only one standing by Miranda's side. Even her parents could not do anything for her.They were like Lady Mary's puppets, doing what she told them to do.Liam reached out and took Miranda's hand, locking their hands.“Don't worry, they won't be able to do anything to you. No matter how hard they try, they'll never succeed." Liam assured her and she nodded her head.She was grateful for having someone like Liam in her life.“Just let me know when you'll be going over to the Villa.”"I will.”Miranda's intention was to go over later in the evening.After they were done at the place, everyone dispersed except the couple.Liam had spoken with Bruce the previous night and he h
If Lady Mary does pick Miranda's call, they'd be busted. Miranda would find out about their lies.The Old Lady was never sick. The sisters had to make the story up at that time.They wanted to get Miranda to come over to the Westons' Villa.If she comes, it would be easier for them to convince her to hand over the project to Top Notch.When the phone rang many times and no one picked, Miranda stopped calling and glared at her cousins before commenting.“She didn't pick the call, I might go and see her later." Miranda was left with no other choice but to agree to go and see Lady Mary.Piper and Allison sighed in relief when they heard the words.“You two can go now, I don't have any business with you anymore.”Although the girls were angry at Miranda's insolence, they were able to pull themselves together and made their way to the car.They kept cursing her in their minds and wished that those guards didn't show up.Piper and Allison would have pounced on her with the anger that was i
“Alright, we'll talk soon." Liam replied back at him and patted his back.“You can go now." While Sean drove off, Liam went back to join the others. They took time going through each of the buildings that it was almost lunch time and they were not yet done.Liam went closer and whispered to Miranda. “It's almost lunch time, let me go and get something for us to eat.”"Why don't you wait so we can go together?” Miranda suggested but Liam insisted.“Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it. I'll also buy something for everyone so don't worry about them.”Liam began to walk out of the place but Miranda called him back. She opened her bag and took out some money.“Here, buy lunch with this. I'm sure you don't have enough money to buy for everyone, so use this." Liam stared at her for a while and shook his head. “You don't have to worry about the money. It's just lunch for a few people's mouth and I can afford it." When Miranda tried to insist, Liam told her not to worry and began t
"What? How is that possible?” Miranda could not believe her ears nor her eyes.How could Mr Sawyer just give her a Van when she was just doing her job. All he owed her was to provide the funds for the project.How come he was giving her company a Van?“He noticed that you didn't have a car so he felt it was necessary to get one for you. At least, for the cause of this project." Miranda would not have believed everything that was happening if she hadn't gotten the funds.She would have thought that everything was all a dream.About 80 percent of the funds have been transferred to her so she'd be starting the project immediately.Without another word, Miranda covered her mouth and walked over to inspect the Van.It was a new one, big enough to contain all of them.“Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!" As she inspected it, she could not stop expressing her shock.Lifting her face, she glanced at her employees who were still standing at the place waiting for her orders.“Mr Sawyer got us a Van, go ahead
