Liam gaped at the man before him and asked. "Really?”

"Yes, Sir.” Sean nodded at him. "He's outside and insisting to see you, Mr. Liam.”

Liam was dumbfounded. He had just finished conversing with his father and the conversation was about his uncle. Now his uncle was in his company looking for him.

What does David Sawyer want from him and why was he here?

Liam was restless in his mind and didn't know what to do. No matter what, David was still family. However, a family who does not mean well for his father and himself was not welcome into his life.

Sean was still standing before him and waiting for an instruction.

“Should I let him in or send him away?"

“Send him away." Liam instructed without mincing words. His father has warned him not to let David Sawyer come any closer. He was a manipulative person.

“Yes, Sir." Sean replied and began to walk away to deliver the message.

Liam stopped working and thought of his uncle, David Sawyer. They haven't seen each other in a very long time. T

    Kimberly felt insulted by her sister's utterance and glared at her.“What's that supposed to mean? Are you calling me a jobless person." "No, it's just a joke. Can't I joke with my only sister?” Miranda laughed and reached out to pat Kimberly who was still glaring at her."Well, that doesn't sound like a joke. It sounded like an insult.” Kimberly snapped and Miranda decided to soothe her anger."I'm sorry. Don't get so angry, it was just a harmless joke. I'll be right back.”Before Kimberly could say anything else, Miranda had hurried back to work. “I don't blame you."

    With a smile on his face, Mark pulled her out and replied in a serious face. “Of course, I'm going to do just what you want because you're so precious to me."Mark helped her sit down and sat back on the table.“Now tell me what troubles you? Why are you not at work today?"Jane tilted her head and replied. “I've been sacked."***Meanwhile, Miranda decided to call her friends after her sister left the eatery.

However, she was interrupted by the sight of someone who walked into the eatery.It was Tyler.Miranda, who was over the counter, decided to send one of her girls out to attend to Tyler.“Nikita, please attend to the young man who just walked in."“Yes, Ma'am."Without another word, the young lady set out to attend to Tyler.“Go back and call your Boss for me.

    As soon as Tyler left, Miranda continued with what she was about to do.She wanted to call Hailey and Jane but had to wait and attend to Tyler. As soon as she dialed Hailey's number, she picked up immediately.“Hi, Hailey."“Hi." Hailey's voice was sad. After the deal with Aura cosmetics was canceled, Hailey had been struggling to get good deals. Unfortunately, all she could get was minor ones.She believed that she had passed the level of such a petty deal. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to take the one she got. If not, she might go completely broke.She could not afford to claim to be a model and to be broke at the same time. It was going to be so bad. “Why did you call?" Hailey asked but got no response for her question. Instead, Miranda became worried for her.“Are you ok? You don't sound like someone who's fine. Tell me, are you sick? If you are then you should see a doctor." "I'm fine.” Hailey almost yelled at her. She was sounding too inquisitive and asked too many que

    Stunned, Jane gaped at the man who had just yelled at him. The man who had promised everything to him.It was not like he hadn't been in between her laps. “Come on Mark, stop acting like we've never made love before. You've been in here many times and…”"I said, get lost from here, don't come back. I don't want to have anything to do with you ever again.”“But…” Jane wanted to go closer to him.“Are you dumb? Or do you want security to force you out of here?" Mark yelled, causing her to pause in her steps.Without another word, Jane turned around and started towards the door in a dejected state.She could not explain what had just happened.Mark had promised to always have her back. Why was he acting up.As soon as Jane got out of the office, Mark called security and asked them not to let Jane into his company again. The Liam guy she mentioned must be a very powerful man.

    While Liam was lost in his thoughts, Miranda came forward with his food and placed the tray before him.He was jolted out of his thoughts and lifted his head to glance at her with a smile on his face.Miranda had no idea what he was planning for her. “Why are you staring at me like that? It's not like you're seeing me for the first time.” Miranda joked and they all laughed about it.“Well, your husband here has been saying a lot about you.” Kent said amidst mouthful of food "Since you're also very good at interior designing, I'd suggest that you start up your own firm. I can assure you that you'll grow in time and I also promise to always refer people to your firm.”Miranda stood speechless at a spot as she gaped at the men."I um… I can't do that right now." Miranda stammered."Come and sit down, honey.” Liam pointed to the chair closer to him.Once Miranda was settled down on the seat, she continued with what she was saying.“You see, Kent. My family is already in the business of

    "Why?” Hailey was shocked to hear such a response from Jane."Did Mira offend you so much that you no longer want any close association with her?”“Just give back my drink. I don't want to talk about Mira or anyone who's affiliated to her.”Jane reached out to collect her drink but Hailey refused to give her back.“No, I'm not giving you this drink." Since Jane was not in the mood to tell her anything, Hailey decided to take her home.She quickly paid the bills and dragged Jane out of the place. “Come on, let's get you home. Maybe you'd be better after you take some rest or even a nap." “I don't want to go home. I want to drink some more." Jane insisted but her friend was not listening to her.“I'm taking you home and there's nothing you can do about that." Hailey dragged her friend out of the place and drove her home.Later that evening at the Westons' family villa. The stage had been set and most of the invited guests were all seated. Although, some were still coming.They were w

The car belonged to Sean and he soon got into the Westons' villa.Sean got into the place and saw Piper addressing everyone. Once Piper saw him, she called to his attention and Sean went to meet them at the stage.Meanwhile, Liam alighted from a cab and made his way into the villa in his usual simple dressing. However, the security men stopped him.“I'm sorry Sir, Lady Mary has asked us not to let you in." One of the guards said to him.Liam let out a dry chuckle. Indeed, he had been told not to show up at the villa. However, he didn't expect such prevention measures to be taken because of him.Everyone else was allowed and not him.“Lady Mary asked you to keep me away from the villa." Liam repeated the words and the men nodded.“That's right." “But this is the family home of my wife. Why am I not allowed to go in? M

    Liam's words left Sean confused. With furrowed brows, he glanced at Liam for a while and inquired. "What are you talking about? And who are the people who must pay for what they've done?”“The people who saved my life and then decided to use me for their selfish reasons. When I refused to be used any further, they tried to kill me.”Liam and Sean got to the countryside early the next morning and informed the local police about their mission.A while later, they were standing before the house of Korra and her gang which was quiet.Liam had already understood how Korra and her gang operated so he ordered the police to break in.“They're inside, I'm certain of it. You have to go and arrest them immediately." The policemen broke into the place and a bunch of the other cops also surrounded the place.They kicked the door open and found the gang sleeping in the sitting room with bottles of different alcoholic drinks littered all over the place.From the look of things, they had too much t

    Liam didn't say a word after Miranda's inquiry. He waited for the waiter to clear the table and leave the place.“Wait outside the door." He instructed the man who nodded his head.“Yes, Sir." Turning to stare at Miranda's face, Liam saw that she was no longer the innocent young lady that he was married to.She's changed a lot and has gotten bolder.Miranda was giving back the same energy she receives from everyone.As it stands, she doesn't see Liam as an ally even though she's dined with him.Well, she was hungry and the food looked and smelled good so she decided to have a taste.“I wanted us to talk privately, that was why I brought you here." “Ok, I'm listening." Liam nodded his head and started talking. Although he thought that Miranda should be the one to speak first and explain what happened.“Tell me what happened, Mira. Why was I brought home to see you in the hands of another man." “Because that was what they wanted you to see. They wanted you to leave the marriage afte

However, he chose to pull himself together.It was then that he thought of what he would have done to that man.If he knew, he would have dragged that stranger out of their bed and given him the beating of his life.The man would have been taught a huge lesson and he'd never go close to somebody's wife again.When Liam got to LR real estate company, he summoned all the staff and had a brief meeting with them.He informed them about all that was going on and how David came to become their CEO.The staff members sympathized with him about his kidnap and promised their loyalty to him as their CEO.After the meeting, Liam went back to his office while Sean followed behind.“Do you guys have an ongoing project?” Liam inquired while Sean shook his head.“None for now, that uncle of yours never did anything during his time as the CEO.

    The person who was approaching them was Miranda. Well, she was going to the mall and didn't really care to notice the men who were admiring her beauty.She had dark shades on and didn't look towards the direction of the men. Even though she was not oblivious of their presence.She was just pretending not to see them.That kind of scene was no longer new to her as she was used to it.When she passes by in public places such as that, she gets heads turned to her direction in so much admiration.Some would try to make advances at her but wouldn't have the nerve to go closer. Only a few have succeeded in coming closer to her but she told them off.She was not ready for any relationship.“Mira?" Liam saw himself calling out to her before she walked into the mall.She heard the familiar voice and stopped.Miranda turned her face to the direction and saw Liam and Sean.They were the least people he was expecting to see.Although her cousins had earlier given her the gist about Liam's return,

    The last time they had an encounter, Liam and Sean humiliated him and made him look like a fool.That day, he still saw Liam as a pauper but got the shock of his life.It was the day that he learned the truth about Liam. That day, he learned that Liam owned the LR hotel and was his big competitor.“Well, since you're here, I assume that your boss must be around." Tyler said to him and directed his gaze at the passenger's seat and his eyes met with Liam.The latter also saw Tyler and waved at him with a fake smile on his face."Can we get back to the matter at hand. How much will it cost you for the damage?” Sean went and inspected the scratch on Tyler's car and saw that it was not much.Tyler turned his gaze back to Sean and kept gaping at him like a confused person.“What did you say?" He inquired and Sean repeated himself."How much is the damage done to your car?”"I don't know, you should figure it out yourself.” Tyler replied arrogantly.He turned his gaze back to Liam and gave h

    The couple were arrested there at the court for attempted murder and for converting Liam's property.With Liam and Sean standing at the side, they watched David Sawyer and his wife get handcuffed and were being dragged away.Liam's cousins were not convicted because they weren't found guilty.After standing at a spot for a while, Liam patted Sean on the shoulder and said to him.“Come on, let's get out of here." They got to the car and saw Robert and John, his cousins approaching him. However, he was not ready to talk to them and asked Sean to drive off.Before the young men could reach the car, it had driven off, leaving them standing on a spot.“They're your cousins, right?" Sean inquired but Liam chuckled dryly before replying.“I won't regard them as one because they're like strangers to me. We have no relationship and with what their parents pulled up, I don't want to have anything to do with them." “I'm also certain that they are not ignorant of everything their parents were u

    “If Liam is back from wherever he went, how does it concern me? And tell me, is it any business of yours?” Miranda inquired with her eyes fixed on them.With a sneer on her face, she gave them a thorough scrutiny before adding.“Was it not you guys who always humiliated and insulted Liam in the past because you thought he was poor. Tell me, what changed now?" The girls exchanged glances before Piper spoke up. "Look, Mira. We were wrong to have looked down on Liam. However, you shouldn't blame us because we were all deceived, including you.”"Yes, I was deceived but I didn't treat him badly like you guys.” Miranda replied back to her and muttered regretfully to herself."I treated him well and had started falling in love with him. Unfortunately, he could not trust me." “He believed what he saw without thinking twice. He didn't even find out the real truth before leaving." Miranda often thought about the last incident with Liam and felt bad. Liam could not trust her after she had tu

    Allison ended the call and drove off to Mira's decor. She and Piper wanted to be the first people to announce to Miranda that Liam was back. That's if she was yet to find out about it. The sisters wanted to get closer to Miranda so as to be in her good books. It was obvious that favor was now smiling at her. Miranda was the favored one and they shouldn't have treated her badly in the past. Lady Mary and the others never regarded her especially after Ryan Weston got her married to Liam.The same Liam who they despised because he was regarded as a pauper, now he was adored.The girls all want to get closer through Miranda now but the latter was not giving them a chance. Not anymore.They've taken her for granted in the past so much and she was not letting herself be used again.A while later, Allison and Piper went ahead to open the gate but were stopped by the security guard.“State your mission here?"
