The Unexpected Son-in-law 88
At the funeral that Liam paid for, he notices that Miranda is completely ignoring him. He doesn't know if it is grief or because she doesn't want to introduce him to her family. Either way, it is a bit dis-hearting to him.At the service, Liam had to sit alone and lied about his relation when asked why he was there..At the gravesite, Liam stayed mostly in the back, trying to keep the attention away from himself. At one point, he tried to get Miranda's attention, but she ignored him and when he finally caught her eye, she told him she was busy.Now back at where Miranda's parents' lives, Liam sips from his drink and walks around the small apartment. When he gets to the kitchen, he is glad to see that he is alone so he can have at least a little quiet time to himself.Liam grows sick of everyone asking him who he is.Liam taps away on his phone, texting Jack, asking if he is up for a game of golf in the morning.Just then Miranda walks in and her eyes widen with shock.''Liam, you're h

Liam groans, he throws his hand at the bedside time in a lazy attempt to find his ringing phone.''Make it stop,'' Miranda mumbles in her sleep, lightly slapping Liam on the chest.''Hello?'' Liam answers in a sleepy voice.''What?'' Liam asks.''Where the fuck is this coming from?'' He sits up in his bed, becoming wide awake now.''What is wrong with this girl?'' Liam says, throwing off his covers and getting out of bed.He doesn't want to wake Miranda, but it is too late. She is already sitting up and wiping at her eyes.''What is it?'' She asks.''Nothing, it's fine. Go back to sleep.''''How can I? All you are doing is yelling.''Liam turns his back and continues to speak with Annie. ''Get my team on it, there is no way in Hell that I am going to let her drag my name through the dirt.''After ending the call, Liam squeezes his phone in his hand.''Is everything alright?'' Miranda gets up and walks over to him."No, it's that damn Mercedes.''Miranda frowns. ''Was she the one on th

Miranda calls Mercedes' phone several times, to no avail. Out of frustration, she throws her phone on the bed, it bounces off and lands on the ground.Miranda paces the room, dying to know what is going on but more importantly, what Mercedes is thinking to tell such a lie on Liam.Her phone rings and she hurries over to the other side of the bed, thinking that it is Mercedes, but Liam's name flashes on the screen.''Hey, I am going to stay at the office for a while.''''Why? What's going on?''''Nothing, there is nothing to worry about.''Liam hangs up the phone before Miranda can say anything else to him. She is about to call him back but Mercedes' name pops up.''Well hello Miranda.''''You bitch, what the fuck is your problem?''''You are my problem. You stole my man and I am coming back for him.''''What? You are crazy.''''Oh, you will see crazy. But just you wait. Liam will be kicking you out of that house soon.''Miranda laughs.''Yes, laugh, bitch, but you'll see. Just know th

Liam looks up to see Miranda walking through the front door. She has a little smirk on her face as she struts over to him."And what have you been up to?" Liam asks.Miranda pauses before him and smiles. "Oh, nothing.""Really?" Liam pulls out his phone to show her the video that was uploaded on the internet just moments ago.Miranda looks up at him from the screen."Are you mad at me?""I'm not, but I had this all under control.""Well, she was claiming that you two were at the office -" Miranda trails off."And you believed her?""I can't even stand the sight of that girl. Can't you see that she is just miserable and is trying to ruin what we have?""You are right.""Now I have to do damage control. It's a good thing Annie has done this before and is out to explain why two women are fighting and bringing up my name in their conversation.""Right, because your fans don't know that you are dating a poor girl."Liam grabs Miranda's hand when she tries to walk around him."Don't you dar

Liam stands beside Miranda as she wrings her fingers nervously.''Are you ready for this?'' He asks her.''No.''''You will be fine. Just let me do all the talking.''Miranda nods.Liam takes her hand and leads her out to the podium. The second they do, the crowd goes crazy and begin to snap pictures and ask questions.Liam raises a hand. ''If you all stay quiet, you will get all the information you need. This moment in time is all about transparency. I have nothing to hide and all the words that leave my mouth are nothing but the truth.''The place falls silent, leaving Liam to begin his speech.''This wonderful woman beside me, Miranda Sawyer, is my girlfriend and never have I ever stepped outside of our relationship to be with another woman. Mercedes and I never had a sexual relationship. She is just a girl who works at Club Orion and we all know what happens there.''Liam looks down at Miranda. ''Sure I have had a few drinks there, but never had I been sexual with Mercedes. And I

“I don’t have a meeting and I don’t need one.’’Hearing this voice, Liam frowns and looks up to see Miranda’s mother approaching his office.‘’Mrs Sawyer, to what do I own this pleasure?’’She frowns at him. ‘’I am not here on any pleasantries; you are talking my daughter for a fool and have disgraced her for not just Notting Hill but for the entire Santoria to see.’’''I don't know what you are talking about.'' Liam gives her a confused look.''You and this scandal of being the father of Mercedes' baby's father. Everyone is laughing at her and you need to own up to what you have done instead of pretending as if you never got that girl pregnant.''‘’I think you must be mistaken, no-one is laughing at your daughter. And that child Mercedes is carrying isn't mine. If you get to know the person I am, you would see that there are people out there who-''Mrs Sawyer scoffs. ''I don't need to know who you are. You need to leave my daughter and send her back home to me. You will ruin her.''‘

Days after his meeting with Charles, Liam sits in his office with the precious stone in hand. He had it evaluated himself and it is worth more than fifty million dollars. It was closer to one hundred million and if Charles has more like it, then he can easily become the richest man in Notting Hill or the world.But Liam sees that Charles is telling the truth. He did find something that will make himself rich for generations to come. But he doesn’t get why they are trying to swindle.People want to pay him way less than what his finding is worth.Maybe him agreeing to take him upon this offer is the best thing and Liam starting their project immediately is even better, so he doesn’t go to the wrong person and gets conned.He made sure to get an unclassified warehouse and hire 24-hour security to protect Charles' findings.

Liam makes sure to push for the museum to be built faster. He wants to get his revenge on Artemis and give him not just a run for his money but to also ruin his life. He is going to make him pay for coming to him with a threat and make him sorry that one of his henchmen ever laid hands on Miranda. Liam spins around in his chair when he hears a knock on the door. He sees Charles waving at him and he motions for the man to enter. ''Sorry to be bothering you. I know you are a busy man, but I have an idea.'' ''You are never a bother Charles and any idea you have is greatly accepted.'' Laim never told Charles what happened two days ago. He never wanted to put fear in him, so he kept that on a hush-hush. Charles finally pulls out a gem. ''This will change my life. What you are looking at is a gemstone that hasn't been discovered until now.'' Liam picks up one stone and looks at it. It is a purple stone with small mixes of white in it. ''This is a game changer!'' Charles laughs. ''W
