Kyle is all grin in his new office. It is the day after stealing Miranda's company from under her nose, he thought he is on a path of winning as he speaks to his mother to let her know that he will have her out of prison in no time."Sir," Rita says as she enters his office."What did I tell you about knocking? What if Angela and I were in here, unless you want some of me too?"Rita tries to hide a grimace, but like her mother tells her, her face gives everything away."Anyway, the clock is ticking. What do you want?""After finding out that you now own Saywer's Business Consultant Co. A lot of our partners are pulling away from us.""Partners like who?""JP&R," Rita makes known. "Also IBMA Inc.""Did Liam pull away from us?" Kyle asks."Hmm, no, he is still our partner.""Then we have nothing to worry about. All those small fries can go. As long as Liam is still our partner, then we are good.""But - what if he drops us?""He won't, he wants back that bitch of his company so he will

Liam tells Cassandra that they shouldn't withdraw from and that they should have him continuing to think that he won."Liam, this can be damaging to Wellington. If anyone knows that we are his partner, it might be a problem for us.""Trust me, I have dwelt with Kyle before, and he will be his own downfall. He and his family are as dumb as a door knob, I'm sure he didn't think this through. Just another get rich scheme that will blow up in his face."Cassandra nods. "Ok, but I can't stop worrying. I just don't want this to end badly. Aunt Maria has worked so hard. You worked so hard."She put her face in her hands."I just hope you are right, Liam."Liam gets up to place a hand on your shoulder about to say something, but then his phone rings."Hello?""Hey, can you meet me at the Cabana? I'm here with my wedding planner, but Rita, an employee of mine, came to me with some 'news'"Ok, I'll be there shortly." Tells Miranda before hanging up."What is it now?" Cassandra asks."An employe

"I... I don't know." Steve stutters, now becoming a coward. All the big talk he had earlier is gone as he swears he is looking in the eyes of the devil.A cook comes out, telling a server that he now needs to find a new job.Hearing this, Kyle let go of Steve and turned to them. "Why would you need a new job? These people will be back. Maybe something happened today, and they weren't happy with a service." Kyle sounds desperate and as if he is trying to convince himself of this."No, it is this clowns fault. If you weren't trying to play a big man and weren't running his mouth so much, then maybe they would have stayed." The cook says."What, explain to me."The server crosses her arms. "Nobody likes you, Kyle, and if I had known that you bought this place, I wouldn't have shown up to work this morning. And as for these people, maybe if Steve wasn't running his mouth so much and making everyone know that you own this place. They wouldn't have left."The cook nods. "Yes, just a mention

Liam tells Cassandra to make it a point to befriend Rita, and she set out to do just that.The only problem was that it was hard to find anything on her. It seems as if the name she has is fake."Liam, we still can't find anything on this woman." Cassandra whines."How come?" Liam asks, putting his phone down on the desk."I don't think her last name is right. Plenty of Rita's popped up on the search but not Rita Callaway."Liam rubs his chin. "That's interesting.""It's like she is a ghost.""We need to find her, see if she knows anymore about Kyle's plans, and if she is on our side, then get her to help us.""I have a feeling she will. We just need to find her first."Just as the words leave Cassandra's lips, Liam's phone rings. "Hello?''"Sir, I think we found Rita, but her name is actually Missy Rodway."Liam sits up in his seat."Do you know where she is right now?""No, but we are still searching.""Ok, keep me posted."Cassandra yawns. "Anyway, I'm going to the salon. I need a

"I think Kyle robbed a bank," Rita tells her."I... what?" Cassandra is confused. "The one day I worked, Kyle, I saw a plan. I guess he drew up. It showed the top of a building and then the inside of a safe that had money. I guess that's how he suddenly got so much money.""Uh, will that's something.""I never said anything because I didn't have the proof, but I'm sure he stole money from someone, somewhere.""I'm not going to discredit you. Kyle is shady, and to be honest, his family never had any money left after they all got locked up. After the investigation, they saw that Kyle and his family were scaming people and gave the judge the order to give it back.""Just how wealthy was Kyle?" Rita asks."They had close to two billion dollars.""Holy shit! And lost it all?"Cassandra nods. "After learning that Liam was a Wellington, they hated him and tried everything to ruin him, but it all backfired.""Shit, this place really is a mess. I wish I had known that before coming here.""Oh

Nright and early the next morning, Kyle is requesting a meeting with Jack, but after hearing his name, Jack refused."Tell him I have no interest in what he has to say," Jack tells his assistant. "Ok, sir.""Thank you, Tiffany."When Tiffany gets back to the lobby, she delivers the news to Kyle."I'm sorry, Mr Grayson, but Jack is busy at the moment."Kyle sneers. "That's bullshit. There is no need to lie to me, sweetheart.""Don't call me sweetheart, I don't know you."Kyle smiles. "Maybe we can get to know each other?"Tiffany's face turns to one of disgust. "Sorry, but Jack is busy, and so am I. I'm sure you know your way out.""Just go fucking get Jack, I need to make a deal with him."Tiffany scoffs. "Jack would never want to go into a parentership with someone like you. Hence why he told me to chase you away, now go."Kyle makes a face. "That's why I never go for women like you, nothing but a bitch who thinks she is important just because of a small position she holds."Tiffany

Reign calls Laim to tell him about what Kyle proposed to her."Hello, I'm here to see Liam. My name is Reign Kills, and he is expecting me.""Yes, Ms. Kills, you can take the elevator all the way up. His office is the first one of the right.""Thanks."As Reign rides the elevator, her heart is in her mouth, and she is afraid that she will get in trouble.For some reason, she feels like a small child.Reign knocks on the door, then pushes it open.Liam moves away from Miranda, and she jumps off the desk and then pulls her skirt down."Oh, sorry... I""No, it's fine, Reign."Miranda gives an embrassed smile and turns to Liam."I'll see you at home."Liam offers her a smile, and she leaves with her face red."Sorry I walked in, they told me that I could just come on up." "It's fine," Liam gives a laugh."Yeah... I... I have some information."Liam gestures for Reign to sit down."I think you need to call Mr. Gomez, he will want to hear this."Liam nods. "You are right. This is his compa

Miranda looks around the restaurant before her eyes land on Liam. She hates that he is keeping her in the dark about things."So, how are things coming along with the Kyle problem?""The Kyle problem?" Liam raises a brow."Yes, the last time I heard, he was trying to gain Jack's company.""Oh, don't worry about it. We have it all under control."Miranda rolls her eyes."Why so you always do that?""Do what?""Deflect. Every time I ask you something important, you tell me that I should worry or that it's not my concern.""Because it's not.""Well, Liam. My company was the first to get fucked with by Kyle. This does concern me.""I know that, but trust that I have things under control. You don't need to worry about anything."Miranda shakes her head. "I do need to worry, I want my company back, and you are keeping me in the dark with what is happening.""You will get your company back.""Damn it, Liam! Stop being such a hard ass. All I ask is for you to keep me on the loop. I simply wan
