Liam waits behind a woman to make his purchase of a new Cartier watch for Miranda.''Next,'' the woman calls, pulling Liam's attention away from the watch.''Good day Mr. Tate.''''Hey, Lisa.'' Liam nods at her.The lady at the counter smiles at him and swipes his card. ‘’There you go, Mr. Tate.’’Liam turns around, but an old man blocks his way.‘’Excuse me,’’ Liam says, trying to move around him, but again the old man gets in the way.‘’Such a lovely thing you have there,’’ the old man points at the gemstone hanging from Liam’s neck.‘’Thanks, it is a rare gemstone a friend of mine discovered.’’‘’Do you mind if I take a closer look?’’ The man asks.Liam lifts the necklace from his chest between his index finger and thumb. The old man squints his eyes, then shakes his head.‘’Sorry, but I have such poor eyesight. I’m sure you won’t mind removing it so I can see it better and also get a feel of it.’’‘’Sorry, but I can’t do that. Like I said, this is a very rare gemstone, recently di

Liam gets a call from Charles; he sounds frantic and is crying to Liam for help.Liam drives to where Charles said he is, moving in most of the antiques into the newly built museum.When he gets there, he sees an unmarked car and when inside; he sees a group of four men trying to intimidate Charles.Two of the men closes in on Charles and grabs his face before slapping him several times, then threw him on the ground and violently kicked him all over.One of the security guards who arrived with Liam fire two shots on the ground. Causing significant damage to the tile, but it got the men’s attention.Liam can see that Charles is frightened, and he never expects to be ambushed like this in his own place.Charles, with a battered face, tries to crawl over to Liam, but a man pulls him back to them.‘’Not so fast.’’‘’It’s you,’’ Liam leans his head to the side.‘’Yes, it is I. Clide,’’ the man smiles. ‘’I am guessing this is your protégé?’’ He then points to Charles.When they are about to

Liam waits in the meeting room for his audience, who is already twenty minutes late. He hates when this happens because that means he would be late for other matters.‘’Where is this person? I have other matters to tend to. They better get to the point and not waste my time.''Annie sits back in her seat. ‘’Roger is never late. Maybe something happened to him.’’‘’Maybe he just doesn’t care. Since this will be the first time meeting each other, he made a partnership with my mother and not me, so he might not see me worthy.’’Annie laughs. That causes Liam to stop playing with his stress ball. ‘’If not for Wellington, CCRJ wouldn’t be where it is now and with all your successful business deals, all they have been doing is gaining more money in their pocket.’’Soon, the glass door is pushed open and a woman who is dressed in a black skintight outfit walks in. It hugs her perfect body, but from the smirk on her red lipstick lips, Liam can tell that he is not going to like her at all.‘’O
The Unexpected Son-in-law Liam Tate
I can't remember if I had stated the type of business Wellington Group owns. Maybe I did, but either way, here you go, a list of everything. Wellington was established in the late 1800s, around 1897 as a just a cable company. And they later expanded to telecommunication after seeing that people didn't have it easy to communicate with their loved one. 1. Real estate. 2. When Maria took over from her father, she invested in many companies and earned even more from these investments. After Maria died, and Liam took over, he created even more businesses and more deals. 3. Hotel and resorts. 4. Golf course. 5. Brothel. 6. Restaurants and clubs. 7. A clean energy company. 8. Shares in a manufacturing company. 9. A shipping company. 10. Agriculture. 11. Shares in a museum and jewelry company. That's it for now. Maybe the list will be updated.

Liam answers the phone on the first ring.‘’How is it going with your mother? Did she agree to come to the wedding?’’‘’I have other problems other than that evil woman.’’Liam can hear the distress in Miranda’s voice.‘’What’s wrong?’’ He asks.‘’I don’t know, but my car was fine just moments ago and all of a sudden it just shut off.’’‘’Where are you?’’‘’I’m not sure. I took a detour because the road is being renovated but I’ll send my location.’’The phone beeps as Miranda sends her location to Liam.‘’I am on my way, and please sit in the car until I get there.’’Liam is confused. He doesn’t know how a new car could just shut off like that. It doesn’t need tuning or oil change as yet.Either way, Liam takes his keys and leave, following the location Miranda sent to him.After arriving, Miranda gets out of the car and throws her arms around Laim.‘’You came so fast, thank you.’’‘’I don’t want anything to happen to you. I would miss my witch.’’ Liam tickles her side.Miranda giggl

Liam asks his team to search for this woman. He needs to know what her problem is. It seems she has a vendetta against Miranda and her family.While standing outside Wellington, Liam gets a call from an unknown number.‘’Hello,’’ Liam answers.The line is silent for a while.‘’Why are you looking for me?’’ The female voice asks.‘’It’s none of your business.’’‘’It is my business since you tried to hurt my fiancé.’’‘’Your fiancé? You two are getting married? I can’t let that happen.’’‘’Who the hell is this?’’‘’Someone who is watching you as you stand in the parking lot and waste your time trying to save someone who doesn’t deserve it.’’Liam tries to speak, but she cuts him off.‘’The view is grand from up here; you look like a little ant. Only if I can crush you like one.’’Liam looks up at the building.‘’Why the fuck are you here?’’‘’I have always been here.’’ The woman laughs.‘’Listen-‘’‘’Fine, I’ll come meet you downstairs.’’A man walks out. It is Richie from IT coming to

After months, the chain of hotel that Liam started on is finally finished and he is on his private jet there to do the grand opening along with Miranda.‘’This is so scary,’’ Miranda says. Holding onto Liam’s hand too tightly, but he doesn’t mind since she fears heights, and this is her first time flying.‘’We will be landing soon,’’ the pilot announces and Miranda breathes a sigh of relief.Liam watches as Miranda gets off the plane and he swears she is about to kiss the ground from her reaction.‘’You really hate flying?’’‘’You have no idea; my first time and I want it to be my last, but I have to go home.’’‘’Mr. Tate, your ride is at the front of the airport. The only thing the authorities ask is for you to declare anything items, such as plates, organic food. Meats or any items you might sell.’’Liam nods, then follows the man to the airport agent.He doesn’t take long, and they are off to the first hotel, which is three hours away.“Wow, this place is amazing,’’ Miranda’s eyes

‘’I think you need to change her position,’’ Liam states after a beat.‘’Excuse me?’’ Mr. Wade asks, looking up at Liam from the paper he was signing.‘’You need to do a reshuffle of the staff here, mainly here. She seems too unprofessional to be in such a high position as being your assistant.’’‘’Yes, Mr. Tate, you are very right. After seeing her behavior today, which I can’t apologize enough for, I see that she isn’t fit for this high position. Maybe the front desk would better suit her. I’ll get H.R to make the changes when we are done here.’’“Very well.’’ Liam nods.They get back to their discussion and possibly expanding the hotel chain to other areas on the island since the grand opening has already attracted so many people and is at max capacity.When the meeting is over, Liam shakes hands with everyone and hurries to his room. There he sees Miranda sitting outside on the balcony, just staring out.Liam bends to kiss her shoulder. ‘’I hope I didn’t keep you waiting for too l
