2024-09-25 22:15:05Patricia's voice halted Liam but Lady Mary decided to wave it off. It was important for them to hastily start the meeting.
“It's ok Tricia, let them go and have their seats. We don't have much time now.”
Liam already knew the reason for that urgent meeting. He also promised to always stand by his wife no matter what.
“Settle down everyone.”
Lady Mary cleared her throat, she casted Liam and Miranda one last glance before starting.
“I'm sure that some of us already know about the LR latest project. It's a very huge estate and would certainly help our company achieve greater heights if we secure the deal.”
Lady Mary paused for a while and scanned the faces of everyone present. When she was sure that all their attention was on her, she continued.
“From what I've gathered, Navey interiors is trying really hard to secure this deal and we won't let that happen. All hands should be on deck as we work towards achieving this milestone.”
Turning to Piper, Miranda's older cousin, who was Lady Mary's favorite amongst the grandchildren, she said with a smile.
“Piper dear, get on it immediately. I believe you can secure this deal for us.”
“My wife can also secure the deal, if you give her a chance.” Liam interrupted Lady Mary and everyone else turned to their direction in a stunned gaze.
“What do you think you're doing?”
Shocked and confused, Miranda spoke in a low voice and reached out to nudge her husband. “You know that I'm not cut out for this. I have my own business. Moreover, Lady Mary won't even give me a chance.”
Liam smiled lovingly at her, patted her on the back and nodded reassuringly at her. “I think you're the best person for this job.”
“Just shut up loser. Who gave you the right to speak?” Manual Weston, Miranda's Uncle was the first to speak and his quiet wife nodded in support. Of course they'd want their daughter to seal the deal and gain more respect in the family.
“Liam, can you not interrupt Lady Mary again. She's the head of this household and knows what she's doing.”
Although Patricia, Liam's mother in-law wanted her daughter to be the star of the family, she didn't want to go against the old lady.
Patricia gave her daughter and son in-law a disgusting look before uttering. “The first job I'd like my daughter to do is get you divorced then the rest can follow.”
More than anything, Patricia wanted Liam out of her daughter's life and their lives.
“Look at Kimberly, she got married to a wealthy man. Unlike a….”
“Mom please.” Liam swiftly interrupted his mother in-law before she could finish her words. “I'm going to make more money than your so-called worthy son in-law.”
Liam's declaration caused an eruption of laughter among Miranda's cousins and their parents. “Did I hear him right? How's that going to be possible when he's a full time house husband.”
“You can say that again. A completely worthless man who lives with his wife's family. What the heck did grandpa even see in him to get him married to Mira.”
“Poor Mira, I feel so sorry for you. You're really more unfortunate than any of us. No one will ever take you seriously with that loser as a husband. It's even worse that he's now very ugly.”
Piper and Allison continued to make jest of the couple and everyone else was quiet. “And as for this deal, don't even try to challenge me because I'd surely be the one to get it.” Piper continued.
Furious, Miranda pursed her lips and stood up. She walked up to the annoying Piper in a challenge. “Don't you think that the people you should be challenging are Navey interiors, not your own cousin who's on the same side with me.”
“Well, that's not how I see it. From your husband's words, you guys sound like the competitors.”
“That's enough, you two.” Lady Mary, having had enough, decided to stop the exchange of words between the ladies.
“Since Allison is busy chasing after her modeling career, Piper will get this deal for us.” Lady Mary spoke finally, putting an end to the meeting.
“Everyone can go back to their homes.”
While the atmosphere was still tense, everyone dispersed back to their homes. However, Patricia wouldn't let Liam be.
“That's it Liam, you're going to divorce my daughter now. Moreover, she doesn't love you which is why she signed a contract agreement with you. Now, Ryan is dead so you can set my daughter free.”
“I'll only leave if my wife doesn't want this marriage again.”
Liam turned his gaze at Miranda who was on her way to their room. “Honey, tell me to leave and I'll leave forever. However, you must know that I love you and truly want our marriage to work.”
At that moment, all eyes fell on Miranda to say the word. As expected, her parents were waiting for her to accept the divorce so that Liam would be thrown out of that house.
After staring at everyone for a few seconds, Miranda let out a deep sigh and declared. “I'm not divorcing my husband because he's a good man.”
Those words from Miranda brought a glint on Liam's eyes and he smiled to himself.
Walking back to where her parents were, Miranda stood before them before she continued. “Mom, Dad. Remember when he was earning well as a manager in that company. He used to treat you well. Why do you guys suddenly want him out of here? Is it because he's no longer rich?”
As Miranda threw those questions at her parents, the silence among them was deafening. They stared at each, disappointed in their own daughter.
She was clearly out of her mind.
Seeing that no one was saying anything, Miranda quickly went to have a change of her outfit before leaving for her diner. Liam, on the other hand, left the house.
He was so happy with his wife and decided to get her a special gift.
Once he was outside the house, he quickly called Bruce.
“Young master, is there something you'd want me to do for you?”
“Yes, I need you to deliver something to my wife at her diner. I'll send you the details now.”
Liam ended the call, typed something on his phone and sent it. He got into the next taxi before him and was on his way to the bank.
He was going to see his account officer who had been expecting him. As usual, Liam was dressed in a simple outfit.
As he stood outside the gate, the security guard gave him a thorough scrutiny before letting him in. The man was wondering what someone like Liam was doing at the bank.
It was obvious that he was poor and wouldn't have anything in his account.
Ignoring the man's disdainful look, Liam proceeded into the bank. However, he was stopped by a familiar voice.
“What is a worthless pauper like you doing in a bank, Liam?”

Liam put a call across to Sean and the next minute, he appeared before him.“You called me, Sir.”Liam nodded his head and without lifting it up, he said to the man standing before him. “Aura cosmetics is selling the company and from what I gathered, the owner wants to leave the country for good and doesn't want to have any company here in Dublin.”“And they seem to be doing well. No scandal, no financial crisis.”Liam lifted his head and gave Sean a serious look. “Fin

Miranda remained silent for a while. She lifted the jewelry with her hands and admired it before turning to face Tyler.“Are you sure it came from you?"Taken aback by the question, Tyler felt embarrassed. He lifted his left hand and scratched the back of his head before saying to the lady."Uh, are you doubting me? Of course they came from me and I can see that they look beautiful on you."Tyler pushed his plate aside and reached for Miranda's hands which were resting on the table. He stared deeply at her and said.“If you don't like the gifts, please let me know.

After the call ended, Liam quickly got into the next cab leading to the apartment.When he got to the apartment, He saw Kimberly seated nonchalantly on the couch.Turning to her brother-in-law with a smirk on her face, Kimberly said to him in a disgusting tone. “Oh, you're here."

Kimberly and her parents were the ones behind such stunts. It was all a planned job to bring her home.However, she was yet to find out their reason for coming up with such. What do they intend to achieve?"But it's not my birthday. What's all these for?”Miranda turned to glare at Kimberly who was said to have left a scary note and ran away. It was all a lie.She seemed to be the mastermind behind such a surprise.“Mira, relax and enjoy this little surprise we organized for you. This is to celebrate your success and also because you bought a new house.”"I don't understand, I haven't even finished paying for the house. Why are you…”"Stop asking too many questions and have a drink with us. You can go back to work after this.”"I called you from work because we

Miranda listened to her husband's words and ignored her mother. The couple made their way into their room, leaving Kimberly and Patricia glaring at them.Patricia's hatred was only directed towards Liam while Kimberly was angry and the couple.Miranda was now being so rude and arrogant just because she's made some money.Kimberly wished that something bad would happen so that Miranda would fall to the ground. Well, that was only in her thoughts.She wouldn't say that out loud unless she wants to be enemies with her mother.Patricia and her husband were now very proud of Miranda's accomplishments.Initially, they were against what she did because of the pressure from Lady Mary and the rest of the family members. However, they no longer cared about what the others think or say.They were now seeing results from Miranda's side and they were happy about it.“Mom, we have to do something about that Liam guy."

Miranda's revelation took everyone by surprise, including Liam. He didn't expect to hear that Miranda was planning on buying a house.No wonder she was being careful with spending money.Miranda had actually made a part payment of the mini villa she wanted to purchase. She'll be making the final payment in a few days time.“That's true, Mom." Miranda stared at each of them as they all gaped at her with their mouths open.“Kimberly can stay in yours and Dad's room for the meantime. When we move out, she'll have our room all to herself.When Miranda found out that her mother was making her husband sleep on the sofa, she confronted her mother and stopped Liam from sleeping in the sitting room Sofa.Miranda took her husband back to their room and made him start sleeping on the bed with her.Because their marriage was not borne out of love, Miranda initially didn't want Liam close to her.

The husband and wife exchanged glances and continued to walk into the house. They got to where Patricia was seated and greeted her alone.They didn't even acknowledge the presence of Kimberly and it got her angry. However, she didn't react.She was not in the mood to have any exchange of words with her sister and the husband.Miranda, on the other hand, ignored her sister because Kimberly told her to mind her business. The latter had gone to confide in her sister when her husband started being abusive.Miranda had advised her to end her marriage with her abusive husband but she refused and swore that she won't confide in Miranda again.With their hands locked into each other's, the couple continued towards their room. However, Patricia stopped them.“Mira, why are you acting like you didn't see your sister? Do you not care to find out why she came back home." Kimberly hated that her mother was about to tell what happened to Miranda. And worst was that Liam was there.He would be hear

“Hmph. You've got to be kidding me." Miranda let out a dry chuckle.She gave Piper a thorough scrutiny before commenting.“So you know now that I'm your sister. You want to be close to me now, huh?." Miranda glanced briefly at her husband before going to her desk.She sat on her swivel chair, took up the telephone on her desk and put a call across to security."Security, there's a lunatic in my office right now. I want you to come over and kick her out immediately.”"And who even asked you to let her in here in the first place? Well, it seems like you guys don't love your Jobs anymore" As soon as Miranda ended the call, she turned to Liam and said to him,"Don't worry about her, honey. I told you that I can take care of her.”Without a word, Liam gave her a quick nod. Miranda just called him, honey. In fact, that day was the best day of his life.Earlier, he had put Tyler in his place and now Miranda was giving him the green light.She had given him a kiss at the cafeteria in the e

The gossipers quickly stopped their gossip and all stood up. They made their way back to their various desks to continue work. Moreover, lunch break was almost over.When the couple got to Miranda's office, she excitedly broke the news to her husband.“I wanted to tell you that I sealed a deal with your friend when you were not around. Your friend, Kent, came with someone and we discussed business and quickly sealed the deal.”"Everything happened so fast and I could not even believe it. Look Liam, you should call your friend and thank him. He's been most helpful to our business.”"And to think that he doesn't ask for anything in return, not even a cut for the deals he's brought for us.”"Well, Kent has always been like that.” Liam smiled and nodded at his wife."I'll call him and treat him to a meal.”"Yeah, you should.”Liam suddenly thought of the earlier incident at the cafeteria. His wife had actually given him a kiss on the lips and as it stands, he wanted more.He kept reminisci

There was complete silence at the place before Miranda added. “I'm sorry girls, I don't think I want to be friends with you anymore. We're not enemies but we can no longer be as close as we used to be.”“If you can suddenly block me off for no just cause, it means that our friendship did not mean anything to you in the first place." Miranda scanned their faces and saw how disappointed they looked. However, she had made up her mind and continued.“I'm sorry girls.”Inside his heart, Liam was very happy about Miranda's response. It was exactly what he wanted to hear and Miranda did not disappoint him.He went ahead and held her hands before saying to her. "Come on honey, let's go have lunch before it gets too cold.”When Miranda turned her back on her ex friends, she was feeling bad about it.She felt that she had done wrong by not allowing the girls back into her life. Maybe she overreacted.Perhaps she should turn around and apologize for what she said to them and possibly accept th
