2024-09-25 22:16:21The voice belonged to Jane, one of Miranda's friends who's a banker in Diamond bank. Jane would never pass on the opportunity to throw shades at him and demean him. Countless times she has told her friend to divorce Liam but Miranda wouldn't listen.
“Look, Jane or whatever it is that you call yourself. Don't you ever call me names again or you'll regret it.” Liam could no longer take the insults and had to tell her off.
But since they were not yet inside the banking hall, Jane decided not to let him in.
“It's best that you go back home because no one will attend to you. Not when they find out that your account probably contains only a few hundred dollars.”
“Ma'am, do you know this man? Is there a problem here?”
The security guard who had been listening to their conversations decided to find out what was going on.
“Yes, I know him and it's such a shame.” Jane snorted coldly with a sneer on her face.
Turning to the guard, she instructed him. “Escort him to the door, someone like him is not welcome here. I don't even know why you let him in.”
Although Liam was a man who physically looked taller and stronger than the guard, the man was not afraid to drag him out. “Mr. You have to leave this place now.”
“You both will regret this.” Liam assured them as he took out his phone to make a call. However, Jane began to laugh at him.
“What can you possibly do and who are you even calling?”
“You'll see.”
While still outside the gate, Liam placed a call across and the manager of Diamond bank and he came out. He looked remorseful and quite angry that a big customer was being kept outside by some unscrupulous people.
“Please come in, Mr Sawyer. I'm so sorry for whatever that must have transpired in my absence. Tell me what happened?”
Turning to the stunned guard and Jane who looked lost and confused, he inquired furiously.
“Miss Jane, what have you done?”
“I… I… I didn't… uh, what is going on Sir.” Jane began to stammer as she cast each of them a puzzled look.
“Since you can't explain what happened, I'll help you.” Liam was smiling as he spoke in a calm voice. He was obviously enjoying the frustration and confusion on the lady's face. The security guard means nothing to him.
He was surely going to get his reward for the insults.
“She's been insulting me and throwing demeaning words at me. Well, not just her.” Liam glared at the guard who was already making a pleading gesture.
“He also disrespected me and I want them fired now.”
Jane's jaws dropped. She could still not comprehend what was happening before her.
Why was the ugly and worthless live-in son-in-law of the Westons family being treated like an important person by her manager? Liam was even asking him to fire her. What right does he have?
And why was he referred to as Mr. Sawyer?
Liam saw the hesitancy on the man's face as he was asked to fire Jane.
Jane was one of their best bankers and had brought in a lot of rich customers to put their money in diamond banks. Ofcourse, she has her way of getting them to open an account with their bank. It would be hard to find her replacement.
“Well, if you think that she's more valuable than I am, then I'll pull out all my money and you would also lose your job as well.”
“Oh, no. Please Mr Sawyer, I'll fire them right away.”
It was better for Jane and the guard to lose their jobs than him losing his. Swiftly, he said to Jane. “I'm sorry Miss Jane, you're fired. You have to get your things and leave here immediately.”
Turning to the guard who had fallen on his knees, seriously pleading, Mr. Clinton paid no heed to his pleas. “Next time, don't look down on people. Leave my presence.”
While Clinton led Liam into the bank, it dawned on Jane that she was not dreaming.
It was happening before her face. Liam had just gotten her fired.
Instantly, reality flashed before her face and she began to plead. “Please Liam. Sorry, Sir. It won't happen again. Don't let me lose my job. Remember that I'm your wife's friend.”
Liam paused in his tracks and turned to Jane who was still giving him a pleading look. He said coldly to her. “If you breathe a word of what happened here to my wife and her family then losing your job would be a tip of the iceberg on what I will do to you.”
With that, Liam disappeared into the banking hall with the manager. After a few minutes, Liam was out of the bank and a call came in immediately.
It was Bruce calling him.
“Young master, your message has been delivered.”
The call ended afterwards and Liam had a satisfied smile on his face. He was beginning to fulfill his promises to his wife.
Liam was going to make her the envy of the Westons family.
As he marched out of the bank he got another call from the company. It was his manager calling.
“Boss, Navey interiors are here and I think their designs are great.”
“What about Top notch interiors?” Liam asked without taking the man's initial words into consideration.
“They are on their way now. They called earlier.”
“Ok, wait for me.”
Although it was almost the close of work, Liam took a cab to the company and carefully got into his office through the back door. Since he was not ready to reveal his identity to his staff for fear that someone would snitch on him, he decided to always go through the back door.
Once he was in his office, he went through the design brought by Navey interiors.
“It's nice but we have to see the others, then we can make our decision on which to go for.”
“Ok Sir.”
While Piper made her way to LR real estate company, she bumped into her rival, Nathan Harvey. He was the owner of Navey interiors.
Although a small company, they seemed to be gaining a huge momentum and was now in a competition with the almighty Top notch interiors.
The two stopped their cars briefly to challenge each other.
“If you ask me, I'd say that you're wasting your time because LR will surely choose Navey interiors. Well, our designs are Top notch and I think you should consider dropping that name.”
“I'm already looking forward to working with LR.”
“We'll see then”
Piper didn't say much and kicked off to LR.
A while later, Mr Sean came to meet up with her after he had gone through her designs..
Swiftly, she stood up from her seat and raced to meet up with Mr Sean beaming with seductive smiles.
“So tell me. What do you think about the design? I'm sure that your boss will like it. Tell me when I'll be coming back to sign the contract.”
Puzzled, Mr Sean stared at Piper with furrowed brows. He clearly didn't like her attitude and would not consider giving her the contract if it was in his place.
She was clearly flirtatious and would do anything to get the deal.
“Calm down Miss.” Sean spoke with a forced smile and got the lady nodding.
“Ok, I'm calm. Now tell me the good news.”
Mr. Sean let out a deep sigh before addressing her. “The boss will carefully scrutinize it and I'll get back to you. However, I'd advise that you don't put your hopes so high. Anything can happen.”

Meanwhile, Liam watched in delight, the sad look on Piper's face. He was seeing them from the CCTV footage. Soon, Piper began to walk away in disappointment. Perhaps, she was expecting that she'd easily get the deal because she was Piper Weston. The precious granddaughter of the Weston family.When Piper left, Liam decided to go through the media and saw that Aura cosmetics was putting the company up for sale.“Wow! This is great.” He muttered to himself.He was going to acquire the company if its sale was legit indeed. 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

It was Lady Mary.Seeing the identity of the caller, a gasp escaped her mouth and she lifted her phone to show her husband.“Go on, pick it up.”While Miranda wondered what the lady was calling her for, she quickly picked up the call.“Lady Mary.”The old lady had instructed them not to call her anything else but ‘Lady Mary’. “Miranda.” The old lady called out in a solemn voice. She was clearly speaking like she was being forced.More than anything, she wanted them to sign the LR deal and for Piper to be the one who wears the crown of glory as the person to pull off the deal.“Yes, Lady Mary.” Miranda replied c

Go and check if she's doing alright.”Her cousins and their parents lived with the old lady at the family villa. “Hmph." Piper scoffed at her and replied sarcastically. “So you know no one else to send that errand of yours and decided to send me, your new servant."“Moreover, why the hell are you calling Lady Mary? If it's so urgent, why don't you go to the villa and check her up, dear caring Mira."Piper angrily ended the call even

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. I can always get something better for you because you're precious to me.” Tyler replied while smiling sheepishly.His thoughts drifted back to the time when Patricia, Miranda's mother told him something about her.

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." She clicked her tongue a few times and shook her head vigorously before commenting. “I knew you would hurry over here." “Where's my wife?" Liam barked at her but Kimberly began to laugh at him.While she was laughing at him, Liam saw Miranda's bag lying on the sofa and rushed to carry it.He saw her phone inside and quickly brought it out.She was indeed there in the house and has not been picking his calls.After glancing around the sitting room, he turned around and raced into their room where he saw Miranda sleeping comfortably in the arms of another man who was also sleeping.With his face ruffled, Liam gave the sleeping couple a death stare.He was seriously fuming and was tempted to go into the room,

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

I'm going to successfully end her marriage with that worthless man." “Get ready to possess that which has always belonged to you. You've been really patient and I must commend you for that.

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." Kimberly whispered, interrupting her mother's thoughts.“What do you want us to d

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. For that reason, she didn't let him sleep together with her on the bed.However, the couple have now e

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
