“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
Liam hurried to the bathroom and quickly took a cold shower and brushed his teeth as well. When he came back to the room, Miranda was not yet back from where she went. He was not aware that she was fixing dinner for him. Liam quickly slipped into his pajamas and hurried out of the room. He got to the kitchen and found his wife there. She had reserved some pasta and kept it in the freezer.It was as though she knew that Liam would not eat dinner before coming home.While Miranda was busy heating up the food, she didn't notice Liam coming from behind.At first, Liam wanted to sneak in on her and hold her by the waist. But on second thought, he decided against it.The idea sounded creepy and he didn't know how Miranda would react when he did it. “What are you doing?" Liam asked his wife who turned to stare at him briefly.“I'm fixing dinner for you."She took out the food which was ready and dished it out on a plate. Before she served Liam, she gave him some ginger tea to help with th
The next morning at the Westons' villa, Piper was restless. She was so elated to hear that Lady Mary was considering her for the project, even though it was Miranda who brought the deal for them. However, something else was causing her restlessness. “Lady Mary, do you think it's a good idea to invite Mr. Sawyer for the celebration? Don't you think he'd be unhappy that the project won't be handled by Mira?”As they sat for breakfast, Piper expressed her worry and got the old lady laughing.“You worry too much. I don't think he'd care about who is made to lead the project. All that matters is that we do an excellent job, which I know that you'd do."Lady Mary took a sip from her coffee and continued. “Miranda is welcome to assist you. That's if she wants.”“I don't want her assistant. She pisses me off. Moreover, I already have my team waiting to commence work." Piper retorted."Miranda is just so dumb.” Allison added. She still remembered her disagreement with Miranda the previous day
The occupants rolled down the glass window and he saw Kimberly and her husband, Bernard.Kimberly wanted to visit Miranda in her eatery so Bernard decided to drop her off before going to work.“Oh, Liam, my co-in-law. We met again today. You see, I would have dropped you off at wherever you're going but…” Bernard glanced at his wife and they began to laugh.Turning back to face Liam. He shook his head several times.“Well, as you know. I'd rather carry a dog in my car than to carry you in this precious car."Kimberly began to laugh again. After they had laughed at Liam to scorn, she tilted over and kissed her husband before saying to him.“Honey, you have to start going to work now. Don't waste your precious time talking to nobody, It's not worth your time. I'll go ahead now.”Kimberly alighted from the car and bid her husband farewell.“Just meet me up at the villa tonight, ok? After the celebration, we'll go home together.”"Alright, my love." Bernard replied and started his car and
