Liam finished with his call and came back to meet with Miranda.“Uh, Mira. You have to go ahead. I'll be with you shortly. There's something I need to take care of." Miranda remained silent for a while. She scrutinized Liam and snorted. “Ok, see you then." Miranda went ahead and got into the cab while Liam boarded another cab.While in the cab, her phone began to ring and she saw that it was Piper.Miranda rolled her eyes as she saw the caller's identity. Angrily, she ended the call and put her phone away. However, it continued to ring.Miranda refused to answer the call. It was pointless picking it because their conversation would not end well. She kept cutting the call but Piper refused to stop calling.Soon the cab got to her destination and she alighted and made her way to their apartment.Before she got to their door, the phone began to ring again and she decided to pick it.“What do you want?" Miranda asked Piper in a raised voice as opened the door and walked in.Her eyes met
After the outburst of Patricia, Miranda expected her to flare up due to the response she got from her. However, Patricia remained calm for a while.After a moment of silence, she let out a sigh and continued to stare at Miranda. Maybe her husband was right. There was no need for her to force it. She'll just have to implement the plan she already has.“Look, Mira. I'm your mother and I know what's best for you. I also want you to have the best life and it's only Tyler who can give you that.”"You see, Tyler has been chasing after you for a long time now and he might soon get tired.”"I don't want to lose such a promising son-in-law who…”"Mom please, not now. I don't want to talk about Tyler. As you can see, I just got back from work and I'm already tired and hungry." “Since you didn't cook anything, I need to fix something for myself." Miranda didn't wait for her mother to finish and she cut into her words.She didn't have the energy for her mother's drama.At that moment, Miranda d
“Who is disturbing my peace at this time?” Patricia knew that it was Liam on the door. She would have ignored him and pretended not to hear the knocking. However, it was pointless because Liam would call Miranda to come and open the door for him.He was the only one who did not have a key to the apartment. And Patricia also wants to say something to him which she didn't want Miranda to overhear.Without another word, Patricia stood up from the Sofa and made her way to open the door.When she opened the door, Patricia blocked it with her hand, preventing Liam from going inside.“Hi, Mom." Liam greeted cheerfully but got no response.After glaring at him for a while, Patricia snorted coldly."You are no longer allowed to sleep in the same room with my daughter.”She turned her face around and glanced at the Sofa where Eric was sitting."You see that chair over there, that's your new bed and this sitting room is your new room. The reason I haven't thrown you out of this house is because
Liam sat up and rubbed his face with his hand to wipe off the sleep in his eyes. He lifted his face and smiled at Miranda but the latter kept a straight face.“What are you doing sleeping on the sitting room Sofa? What happened to our room?” Miranda repeated herself in a very serious tone.Liam stood up and tried to hold her hand but she stopped him with a raised hand.“Answer my question, please. Did my mother put you up to this? This looks like something she could come up with." “No, your Mom did not put me up to it. I just felt like coming to sleep here." Liam lied but Miranda did not buy the lie.She didn't believe him.“You're lying. Tell me, why are you trying to cover up for my mother?”"I'm not covering up for your mother. I just really felt like coming to sleep here.” Liam insisted."You've never slept in the sitting room Sofa before. In fact, I've not seen you sit there because of my parents. What suddenly happened?”Miranda shook her head a few times and was about to say s
The person who approached him was Kent, his good friend. Kent came there to have breakfast and saw Liam sitting all by himself.He decided to join Liam on his table.“Look who's here so early, I haven't heard from you since the last time." "Hi, Kent.” Liam reached out and shook hands with him while beaming with smiles."You're also very early." “Yeah, I came to have breakfast. I've really missed the food here.” Kent drew out a chair and sat on it. He looked around the place and saw that he was the first customer, aside from Liam.Well, Liam won't be regarded as a customer because the restaurant belonged to his wife. Although Liam never takes advantage of the situation.The restaurant was his wife's business and he always tried to pay when he had his meals. However, they usually don't take money from him.“How have you been, Kent?" “Great." Kent replied immediately. He had been very busy at work and hadn't gone to the restaurant since the last time.Kent had promised to bring deals
Liam was speechless. He could not believe that Miranda just said those sweet words about him before his friend.It was something he did not expect. Miranda had just said something sweet about him. However, she was yet to fall in love with him.If she had indeed fallen for him, why was it taking ages to confess her feelings for him.Was she not yet sure of what she feels?When he heard the words Miranda had just said, Kent could not help but admire the couple's relationship.He felt that they were a perfect couple. Even though Liam was not rich, Miranda loved and respected him. To him, their love was perfect.Kent had no idea what was going on between them. Theirs was a marriage borne out of gratitude Old Ryan Weston was grateful to Liam for saving his life. He had to get him married to his granddaughter who was his favorite.Miranda was deeply loved by Ryan because of her kind heart. However, when Ryan made her marry a stranger out of gratitude, Miranda felt that her grandfather's lo
She hoped that her sister would grow up and get a life of her own. Kimberly didn't have to attach her life to a man and continue to take shit from him.Bernard had turned her into a punching bag and Miranda was yet to find out what happened. He wasn't always that way before.Bernard doted on Kimberly but had suddenly changed. Something must have caused it.As Miranda walked into her diner, Kimberly started the car and drove off.She regretted going to confide in Miranda. Now Liam would find out that she was having it hard in her marriage.Liam would surely look for a way to make a joke of her because she has never been nice to him.Her sister, on the other hand, was calling her a lazy person.Kimberly could not believe that Miranda said all things to her. That she might be brought back in a bodybag if she didn't leave her marriage with Bernard.Kimberly believed that Bernard would never attempt to end her life because he was angry.In the meantime, Samantha got into the diner and call
"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
Patricia and her husband exchanged glances and said nothing afterwards. What could they possibly say?Liam had just confronted them and they only kept wondering where he got the nerve. Indeed, a lot of things were changing and Patricia thinks it's time to do something about it.She had instructed Liam to be sleeping in the sitting room. However, he was now inside Miranda's room.What if he defies her order?She turned to her husband, glanced briefly at him and stood up to go to the kitchen.Although she had lowered the intensity of the heat, her food was already burning.Patricia put off the fire, dished out some food for herself and her husband. The only one left on the pot was Miranda's portion.After she served the dishes on the dining table, she called out to her husband.“Come on, Eric. Let's have dinner.”While the old couple ate, Patricia looked out for Miranda to see if she'd come out but she didn't.After her meal, she decided to go and knock on the couple's door.“Miranda d
“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
