When she goes up to him, he tells her to sit.She sits on the arm of the chair and tries her best to focus on his eyes."I think that can wait. You have a wedding to plan with Sasha.""Moesha.""What?"

“You ready for this?” Nova Grayson asks, taking her husband’s hand in hers. ‘’No,’’ Liam Tate replies. ‘’What? You are about to meet my family.’’ ‘’Yes, a family I know nothing about because I have never spoken to them before.’’ ‘’Don’t worry, they will love you.’’ ‘’Is that just an assumption, or a known fact?’’ ‘’Liam, just relax. Everything will be fine.’’ ‘’Yeah, until they find out that we are married and think that I am the reason you haven’t been home for the past two years.’’ ‘’Nothing like that will happen. My family is very accepting.’’ ‘’Right, and what will they think after finding out that I’m poor, and a pre-med student because I did not know what I wanted out of life?’’ ‘’Nothing.’’ ‘’I’m sure they will be happy to know that their daughter is married to a man that can’t provide for her,’’ Liam finishes. Liam climbs out of the silver Ferrari Nova’s father bought her, then walks around the other side to open the door for his wife. ‘’Thank you, Mr Tate.’’ Nova

Her mother’s eyes widen before she glances at Liam.‘’Listen, I might not be the rich son-in-law you were looking for, but I love Nova.’’Venus scoffs. ‘’Love can only get you thus far, and as far as I can see. My sister is the one to be sponsoring your lifestyle.’’‘’No, guys, it is nothing like that. I never marry Nova for money.’’ Liam now says, becoming angry.Mrs Greyson laughs at him.‘’Right, and you expect us to believe that? If you want to be a son-in-law to us, you can’t be poor, but have to come from a rich background.’’Liam glances over at his wife. She is quiet now instead of trying to defend him.‘’This is nothing but bullshit. All you people care about is money. How can you say that love doesn’t matter?’’ Liam raises his voice.‘’Because it doesn't. What should happen if we both were poor and I fall ill? Could we afford medical?’’ Nova speaks up.‘’You know, I never took you for a bitch, Nova. But I see you are just that and maybe I shouldn’t have married you if money

Liam, in shame and with his head low, walks until his feet hurt and he sees a bus stop. He has no choice but to settle under.As he does, lightning flashes across the sky, followed by a clap of thunder, then the rain begins to fall.‘’Just my luck, can this day get any worse?’’ he asks aloud, then cursing himself for foolishly coming to Santoria with someone who switched up on him so fast.But he never expected his wife to turn on him just like that and throw two years of marriage down the drain.Liam holds his head in his hands, not knowing where to go from there because now he has no money and no way to get back to Yorkville.Suddenly, a shadow creeps up on Liam, forcing him to look up at the bald head man, who look to be somewhere in his fifties.The man holds out an umbrella towards Liam, but he refuses to take it.‘’Master Liam Tate, I have been looking all over for you ever since I heard you landed at the airport.’’ The man says.Liam looks behind him to see if the man is mistak

Kyle checks his email anxiously, waiting for the test results to come in. He just couldn't get Miranda's remark out of his mind, and he will be damned if he is related to someone like her.Finally, an email comes in. When Kyle opens it, he sees that it is nothing but spam.''Damn it! What is taking so long?"Kyle dials the number to the medical center, and when the woman answers, he shouts insults at her."You incompetent bitch! I have been waiting two days and four hours for one fucking DNA test, and I have been yet to get the results. Maybe I should call your supervisor and let them know to fire you."In a calm voice, the woman says. "Who am I speaking to.""What the fucking do you mean who are you speaking you?""Can I get your name?""Kyle Grayson."The woman sighs, then Kyle hears typing from the other end of the phone."The results were sent to you a day ago.""You liar, I never got no fucking results.

Kyle lays in a pool of his blood, groaning from the pain inflicted on him.Jodie walks into the living room and gasps."Sir, what happened to you?" She drops everything on her hand and kneels by his side."They robbed me, those fuckers.""Who, who robbed you?""His name is Tommy, he and his gang goes around robbing rich people." Kyle lies."I never heard of that before."Even in pain, broken and beaten, Kyle still belittles those that work for him."You bitch, does he have to be known to be robbing people. He took all my jewelry, and I want it back!"The woman sighs and helps Kyle to his feet.Jodie still doesn't know why she is working for him. All he does is complain and threaten to hurt her or get her fired.If she hadn't been so desperate for work, she wouldn't be stuck in a place like that. Doing things she isn't comfortable doing."I guess this isn't the best time to tell you that Saywer's Business Consultant Co will no longer be yours in a few months' time.""What does that mea

Liam stands on the roof with the investigator. He confirms that the blueprint is indeed of JCDA.Liam stuffs his hands in his pocket."That man stole close to seventy million dollars and still wants more. His greed will cause his downfall."The investigator says nothing."I'll take this to the cops, and this time Kyle won't be getting out of prison."Liam waits for the man to get off the roof first before he follows.He calls Cassandra while around the steering wheel."Hey cousin," her chirpy voice comes."I'm not coming in today, I'll just spend the day with Miranda. Go over some wedding details.""You got it, boss," Cassandra says, then hangs up before Liam can say anymore.When Liam gets home, Miranda is there going over a book with wedding themes to choose from.Liam clears his throat, and she looks up and then smiles."Hey," she gives a little nervous laugh."What are you doing?" Liam asks, walking over to her.He looks over her shoulder."Wedding themes," he comments."Yeah, I w

After the woman leaves, Cassandra turns to Liam."So what do we do now?"Liam rolls up the blueprint and lightly hits her on the forehead with it."What was that for?""For being so damn forgetful, you had this for a week.""Yeah, I said I was drunk. I hardly even remember half the things Rita and I talked about."Cassandra phones rings. "Oh, and speak of the devil. She's calling me?""She who?" Liam asks."Rita.""Put it on speaker."Cassandra does just that."Hey Rita.""Sorry to be calling at this hour, I know it's late, but I... something happened, and I need to talk to you now.""Can't it wait until the morning?" Cassandra asks.Liam shakes his head. "Rita, you can come over now. We would love to hear what you have to say.""Ok, the problem is I don't know where Cassandra lives.""That's fine, she will send you the location."When the call ends, Cassandra makes a face at Liam. "Why the hell did you do that? I need my beauty sleep.""I understand, but if you don't get all the inf
