It happens where Liam goes with Miranda, because he sees that something fishy is going on. The story Miranda told him just doesn’t seem right.He texts Gwen, asking her if she can come to the apartment of Mrs. Sawyer and he believe they are lying on her name. He also tells her to bring her husband and another cop, but let them stay at the door just in case.‘’Thanks for doing this,’’ Miranda reaches over and touches Liam’s leg with a smile.Liam slaps her hand away. ‘’After this, I never want to hear from or see you again. I mean it.’’Miranda shrinks back into the car seat and then stares out the window.When they get to the apartment, Gwen is there waiting for them.‘’What is she doing here?’’ Miranda frowns.‘’I called her here, so she knows you and your mother are lying on her name.’’‘’Are you for real right now? I never told a single lie on her.’’‘’You are a thief, Miranda, and every thief is also a liar.’’There is an argument, well, it is mostly Miranda yelling at Gwen, telli
A month after, Liam runs into Miranda and her little brother while he was getting lunch. She stares at him for a while before looking away. When they call her number, she collects the take-away bag and hurries out. Liam turns to watch after her to see that she is looking in at him. She gives a small smile, then walks away.Liam's number gets called, and he collects the food for him and Annie.When Liam gets back to Wellington, Annie greets him with a huge smile.‘’Get the champagne Mr. Tate, we did it!’’ She cheers.‘’Did what?’’ Liam asks.Annie's face falls. ‘’Trending, it got approved!’’Realization hits Liam, and a slow smile spread across his face.‘’That’s amazing. I never thought they would take me seriously when I said I want to create my own social media.’’Annie laughs. ‘’What do you mean? You are Liam freaking Tate; anyone would have approved of this. They see how innovative and successful you are. Of course, they would want to jump on board this.’’‘’I just never thought.
While Annie and Liam are sitting about discussing business, she begins to cough uncontrollably.‘’Are you ok?’’ Liam asks, passing her a bottle of water.‘’I’m fine,’’ Annie nods before taking a sip.‘’You sure?’’Annie waves him off.As they get back to talking, she starts to cough again. She uses a napkin to cover her mouth. When she removes it after her fitful episode, there is blood on the napkin.‘’Annie, you are not ok. Let me take you to the hospital.’’“Liam, I’m fine. Trust me.’’‘’That’s blood. You are far from being fine.’’Annie sighs.‘’Don’t worry about me, sir.’’Liam shakes his head, but again Annie tells him not to worry about her.The two go on with their discussion without any more coughing fit, but that still doesn’t keep Liam from worrying about the older woman.***Later that night, a phone call from the hospital wakes Liam from his sleep.‘’Is this Mr. Tate?’’‘’Yes.’’At first Liam thought it was about Craig, thinking that he might have said something, and they
At Annie’s funeral, Liam can see that Cassandra is trying hard to intimidate him. He only laughs it off and continues to listen to the pastor.When Liam goes up to say a few words, he can see Cassandra shaking her head and saying something to the woman beside her. He knows he isn’t welcome by them, but either way, aunt or not, Annie had been a tremendous help to him.At the gravesite, Cassandra approaches Liam.‘’Why did you even show up?’’‘’She is my aunt; I don’t know what your problem is, but you can’t stop me from being here.’’Cassandra scoffs. ‘’You didn’t even know she was your aunt until a few days ago.’’‘’Does that make any difference? Let’s not do this here, because I can see that you are trying to be something that you are not, and Annie wouldn’t want anyone to be fighting at her funeral.’’Liam touches her shoulder and walks away.To be honest, he hates the girl and hopes that off the funeral he won’t have to see her again.But his wish doesn’t come through, because a we
“Liam.’’Liam turns to look at his cousin, Cassandra. She is wearing a red tracksuit and has her hair in pigtails.‘’Cassandra?’’ Liam questions.She wrings her fingers.‘’Listen, I’m sorry about the other day, I was going through too many emotions. I was sad that mom died, then upset when you broke that news to me.’’Liam nods.‘’So, hmm—she left seday.veral letters and a thumb drive for me. Also, a copy of my adoption papers, and my original birth papers.’’Cassandra takes a shaky breath.‘’The funny thing is, I remember meeting those people before. They used to come to my parties, but I think my thirteenth birthday was the last time I saw them.’’‘’I’m sorry, Cassandra.’’‘’No, it’s fine. I’m glad I know the truth now.’’She turns to walk away, but Liam stops her.‘’Annie’s stop is still vacant; I just can’t seem to find anyone good enough to take her spot.’’‘’Ar—are you sure?’’‘’I am. We are family, after all. And I think you will be great.’’Cassandra smiles. She throws herself
‘’That was an absolute fucking disaster,’’ Miranda says after they leave the restaurant.‘’If Annie was here, she would have done this with a breeze,’’ Liam says.‘’Do you have anyone in mind? I just think all these people are a fraud and making up things just so they can say they planned Liam’s wedding.’’‘’Liam and Miranda’s wedding,’’ Liam corrected.‘’I have one person in mind,’’ Liam says after a while.He opens the door and waits until Miranda enters before saying who he has in mind.‘’Cassandra.’’Miranda shakes her head. ‘’Sorry, I know she is your cousin and all, but she is too… ‘happy’.’’‘’You might be right.’’‘’We can just do this ourselves. How hard can it be?’’ Miranda asks.‘’With work and other things going on, I would say it would be more than a challenge.’’‘’I feel defeated,’’ Miranda throws her hands up.Liam takes her hand. ‘’Don’t worry about it. I’m sure we will find someone to take care of this soon.’’When they get home, Miranda set about to get some work don
‘’Wow,’’ Miranda says after Liam recalls what had happened earlier. ‘’I was watching the news and couldn’t believe it.’’Liam sighs. ‘’I’m just glad we got her back.’’‘’Can you imagine if you decided to stay or had gone there a few minutes later?’’‘’I really don’t want to think about that. I told Cassandra that she needs to be more careful.’’Miranda nods. She gets up to sit in Liam’s lap, but he pushes her away. ‘’Sorry, but I need time to think about this.’’‘’Ok, well, I’m going to finalize a few things.’’****While Liam is out trying to get some gas, two black SUVs pull up beside him. Not really giving it much thought, he continues to fill his tank up.Soon there is a voice. Four men get out of each of the car, and they all immediately rush towards Liam, surrounding him.He looks around at them all, marking their faces since they aren’t hiding their identities from him.‘’You, who are you?’’ A fat man step forward, clearly he is the leader for the rest.‘’What’s it to you?’’ Li
Miranda stares at the attractive woman who is sitting across from them, she is so well put together and would put any other woman to shame. She isn’t jealous of her beauty, but by the fact that she has all her attention on Laim.She is starting to regret hiring her as their wedding planner. Ever since she met Liam two days ago, it is as if no-one else existed to her.Miranda is suddenly swaying with anger, and she places a protective hand on Liam’s.‘’I don’t think lemon cake would be the thing, I think white chocolate would be just right.’’ The woman’s voice drops.Miranda bites her lip, wanting to say something but really the woman isn’t trying to make a move so what can she say?Then it happened, the woman reaches over and place her hand on top of Liam’s free hand and gives him a wink, but he shakes her off and sits back then places his arm around Miranda.Miranda leans into him with a triumphant smile.The woman looks between the two of them with a bit of jealousy in her eyes.‘’W
