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

After the seven days, unplanned vacation and both of them looking tan and relaxed. Liam is in the back seat with Miranda snoozing on his lap. He looks out at the passing city and tries his best to not disturb her.During their time away, the woman hasn’t given up her pursuit of getting her revenge on Miranda and her mother.Miranda’s phone rings and she stirs. Her phone continues ringing and Liam tickles her side to wake her.Miranda moans. ‘’What?’’‘’You phone.’’‘’Hello,’’ Miranda answers.She listens for a while, and then suddenly sits up.‘’Oh my God!’’She hangs up the phone and stares out the window.‘’What is it?’’ Liam asks.‘’My mother, that woman was in the house without her knowing. She was playing with my little brother.’’‘’What the hell?’’ Liam says.He then tells the driver to go to the apartment complex.When they get there, police cars are outside, and an officer is asking Mrs. Sawyer questions.Upon seeing Liam, Mrs. Sawyer frowns.‘’Mom, is everything ok?’’Mrs. Sa

After a week with Miranda in the new position, Liam notices that she is more tired than usual and working harder than she used to.‘’Lunch time,’’ Liam says, holding up a brown bag with burgers.Miranda holds up one finger, then looks back at the screen.Liam walks around the desk to see what she is doing, then frowns. ‘’Why are you doing taxes?’’‘’Because I was asked to.’’‘’By whom?’’‘’Annie.’’Liam is confused by this, because it isn’t Miranda’s duty to do this. All she is there to do in the new position is to perform cost-benefit analyses of existing and potential customers and to also maintain a positive business relationship to ensure future sales.‘’I need to have a word with Annie.’’‘’Liam, it is no bother and to be honest, I had nothing to do until she gave me this task.’’Liam sits in the seat, waiting for Miranda to finish.‘’Have you spoken to your mother as yet?’’‘’You, this is a bit distracting, Liam.’’‘’Sorry.’’After finishing her task, Miranda finally eats with L

For days, Liam notice Miranda’s strange behavior. It moved from just looking over her shoulder to hiding.She is also sneaking around and leaving the house or work at unusual times during the day.One night, Liam sat in the dark living room, waiting for Miranda to come back.The front door opens, and she pushes her head through the door, as if making sure she is alone before entering fully.The moment she steps inside, Liam flips the switch. Her eyes widen, looking like a deer caught in headlights.‘’Where are you coming from?’’ Laim asks.‘’Work,’’ Miranda says in a duh tone.‘’Why are you lying?’’‘’Are you trying to accuse me of something?’’‘’Just tell me where you are coming from.’’‘’I told you, work. With this new position, it is hectic now, so sorry I am so consumed with the job you gave to me.’’‘’Damn it, Miranda! Stop lying! You weren’t at work. You left before two pm and never returned. When you are coming here at ten at night.’’Miranda holds her head down.‘’Don’t give m
