‘’We need a solution to help us solve this predicament that good-for-nothing ex-husband of yours has put us in,’’ Mr Grayson roars.‘’Father, we should stop calling him a good-for-nothing since he now owns basically all of Santoria and has our life hanging from a thread. A man who is good-for-nothing wouldn’t be able to ruin us like this,’’ Venus says from where she stands.Mr Grayson grits his teeth to contain the anger that has been building more and more as the hours tick by. ‘’Venus, I suggest you shut your mouth because you and your so-called fiancee are of no help.’’Venus frowns at her father. ‘’Right, as if he and his family haven’t donated fifty million to our ‘charity’. Maybe if you, mom, and Kyle cut down on the habits we wouldn’t be scrambling around for money.’’She drains her glass before speaking again. ‘’It is a good thing he is the one taking care of this wedding.’’Mr Grayson’s nostrils flares. ‘’I have no time for this. We need to find a way to get back our deals a
Annie’s tablet dings with a message notification. She raises her brows, then smiles at Liam.‘’It seems as if all of Santoria wants to know who you are. You have just been invited to the Mayor’s annual ball on Sunday.’’Liam glances up at her. ‘’I don’t have clothes for that.’’Annie scoffs. “Mr Tate, you have the city at your disposal. Hell, better yet, the state is yours. You can go buy anything you want when you want.’’‘’Yes, but I can’t be too reckless with money from what you tell me.’’Annie only gives a smile, because she had lied to Liam. Simply because she doesn’t want him to feel bad for all the money he has. Which is close to ten billion dollars.She only wants the best for him so he can make the right decisions.‘’I’m sure you can splurge a little, maybe even buy a car.’’Liam thought about it, thinking that it couldn’t be so bad to spend on himself.‘’Ok, I guess I can buy a few things.’’ He nods, and now that he has money, he doesn’t have to worry about the price tag.‘
Liam looks at himself in the mirror, not knowing what to wear to the country club because he has never been to one before. So he settles on wearing a gray long-sleeve shirt, black pants that have rips on the front, and black sneakers.‘’Master Tate, I took it up on myself and went out to buy you these new golf clubs. Enjoy your time.’’ Carl nods at him before telling a maid where to put some freshly cut flowers.When Liam pulls up outside of the country club, a few people look his way and only some give him judgemental looks, while others don’t seem to care.‘’Liam, good to see you again.’’ Jack claps him on the back while in a half hug.‘’How are you doing?’’ Liam asks.“Ready to play golf and hopefully make a new friend who won’t be mad at me when I win.’’Liam laughs. ‘’I won’t be mad at you because I do not know how to even carry this thing I’m carrying.’’ He lifts the golf club bag.Jack says nothing but leads him over to where a woman at the podium smiles at them.‘’Good morning
‘’Liam, what are you doing here?’’ Shannon ask.‘’More importantly, how did you even get in here?’’ one of the females at the table scoffs.‘’Can I talk to you for a minute?’’ Liam asks.Shannon gives a fake smile.The other female makes a face as Shannon walks away with Liam.‘’It’s nice seeing you again.’’Shannon gives another fake smile. ‘’Same to you.’’‘’Hmm, so I was wondering if you would like to go out on a date with me sometime.’’‘’A date?’’ Shannon leans her head to the side.‘’Yes, it could be a great way for us to catch up as well.’’‘’Liam, I don’t think that is a good idea.’’‘’Oh, are you with someone?’’‘’No, but, I don’t think a date is a good idea for us.’’‘’What do you mean?’’Shannon’s face twist into something of disgust. ‘’I mean, I wouldn’t want to be seen with someone like you.’’‘’Someone like me?”‘’Yes, you are a poor man, Liam. I can’t date you, because a local side street cook shop isn’t my thing.’’‘’I-’’‘’No, ok, you need to leave me alone and get ri
After parting ways with Jack, Liam doesn’t go home immediately. He goes to a car dealership because he wants a car to drive himself around since his mother and family only have SUVs and drivers to take them around. He was so used to walking and taking the train, but now that he has money, he sees that there is a whole new world and possibilities for him. But he is still cautious with his spending, fearing that he will bring ruin to the company like his mother. Liam stares up at Mighty Motor, the best car dealership in Notting Hill. It occupies a large area of land and sells nothing but high-end and luxury vehicles. No car is before twenty million dollars, but now that Liam is rich, it will be nothing for him. ‘’Hey, I want to buy a car.’’ Liam walks up to the pretty blonde, who wears a tight red dress. She wrinkles her nose, and Liam dares her silently to shame him. ‘’Ok, what can are you looking to buy?’’ she smiles. ‘’Why don’t you show me around and explain to me? I’m not muc
Sunday evening, Liam gets ready to attend the Mayor’s event. The news of the new owner of the Wellington group quickly spread throughout Notting Hill, with everyone, mostly the women, excited to meet the man of the hour.They all wanted to know if he was single, and is willing to take any of them to the altar.Liam’s phone rings, and he answers after seeing that it is Annie.‘’Mr Tate, do you have a date for tonight?’’‘’Hmm, no.’’‘’Wonderful, I can get my friend’s daughter to be your arm candy.’’‘’No Annie, I’ll be fine going by myself.’’‘’Are you sure?’’‘’Yes, I am not interested in any female at the moment and I would rather not have one stick to me either.’’‘’Ok.’’With that, Liam hangs up and continues to put on his expensive tuxedo. When he is done, he makes his way downstairs where Carl gives him a nod of approval, and fixes his bow time.‘’Looking dashing master Tate, should we arrange for any female companion that might spend the night?’’ he asks.‘’I’m not planning on b
Annie takes Liam around the room, introducing him to only people that will be important to their company and will help him to more success.‘’Hey there handsome.’’ A female in a tight, sparkling blue dress comes smiling at Liam. ‘’You can call me Ella, it is so nice to meet you.’’Liam simply nods at her and goes make to his conversation.‘’So, I was thinking maybe we can get to know each other a little more.’’Liam leans in close to her. ‘’Have a little dignity and keep it moving. You are not my type.’’The woman huffs and walks away with her head high.But as Liam got rid of one woman, more came and if it wasn’t for the bodyguard, then would have driven him insane.Shannon walks over to the laughing group when she sees her chance.‘’Liam Tate,’’ she says and smiles when he turns around. ‘’Well, looks like I am here eating my words.’’Jack gives Liam a look.‘’Can we talk somewhere where it is quieter?’’ Shannon asks.‘’Sure.’’ Liam nods. He runs his eyes over her body before sipping
Liam groans when he hears his phone ring. He opens his eyes and closes them immediately because of the harsh light that is coming through his curtains.‘’Craig, what’s up?’’ he asks.‘’It’s bad. Kylie closed the hospital. It was so out of the blue and there was no explanation,’’ Craig tells him.‘’Shit!’’ Liam let out, sitting up in his bed, now blaming himself because he was so caught up that he forgot about flying Craig out to Santoria.‘’I’m sorry about that. This is all my fault.’’‘’What do you mean? You can’t blame yourself for this. Kyle was always a prick and loves to throw his weight around.’’‘’Listen, pack your things and be at the airport. I’m coming for you.’’‘’What? Are you still in Santoria?’’‘’I’ll explain everything to you soon.’’Liam ends the call and gets out of bed and stumbles about, knowing that he had too much to drink at the Mayor’s event. So he goes to take a cold shower to get rid of the feeling, and it worked.‘’Carl, do I have a private jet, and is it av
