The Unrivalled Lord’s Return

Chapter 1

A taxi pulled up in front of a well-illuminated building, it was a five-star building and one for the average wealthy class of Keston City.

Someone stepped out of the taxi, dressed in a brown suit. His black hair was well aligned with his face, and he stood tall with a big smile on his face showing that he was happy to be there.

Liam Grayson had gotten a call from his wife Monica Porter Grayson. She told him to come to her office, she had an urgent message.

“Well now, let's find out what my beloved has installed for me.” Liam smiled, he knew that it was their third anniversary. Liam was sure that Monica had planned to surprise him with something, in his hand was a gift wrapped with expensive wrappings.

‘I think it is time for me to tell her who I truly am, all this hiding won't do.’ Liam smiled as he walked into the building, he was looking around as he saw that everywhere was decorated to a particular taste.

Liam’s wife Monica was the rising star of Keston City, she was called a Majestic Being for the way she began rising from the shadows. It was like she had suddenly become Keston’s number-one woman overnight it was like someone or something was helping her rise to the top.

“I am proud that she has everything under control here, I will handle all I can from the shadows.” Liam paused when he got to the door, he opened it with a huge smile on his face. But there was no one in the office, Liam scanned around the room to see if he would see anything that would tell him where Monica had gone but there was nothing there.

Liam shrugged his shoulder as he walked into the building with a smile still on his face, he looked around the office. It was huge and well-furnished, it would be like heaven for the average poor man.

Liam turned to see a huge portrait of his wife, he stood there adoring it. It was the most beautiful thing he had seen. He was about to touch it when the door opened.

Liam turned to see who it was, he saw Monica’s assistant walk in with some files in her hand. “Please I would like it if you would refrain yourself from touching that portrait, it is an expensive piece and I wouldn't want you to stain it.”

Liam was surprised at the words of a mere assistant, he turned to look at her. “Excuse me? You do know who I am don't you?”

The assistant Lisa, who had a pair of vintage glasses on for her sight looked at Liam adjusting her lenses in a rather mocking manner.

“I know who you are, you flaunt the title like it's meant to be yours,” Lisa said something else, it was clear to Liam that she had hate for him and the reason wasn't even clear to him why she was angry.

Liam decided to keep his cool and not do anything that was on his mind. He looked at Lisa, he had stopped smiling when he wanted to ask her the question.

“Why are you sounding this way even though you know who I am?” Liam asked Lisa the question, he was looking at her trying to see if he would get anything out of her but she was just looking at him like he was some specimen in a lab.

Lisa looked at the files in her hand, she cautiously pulled one out it the many in her hand.

“This will answer your questions, please make sure you read them carefully.” Lisa handed Liam a piece of paper, Liam was surprised to see what she was giving to him.

Liam took the paper, he didn't want to act like he was some kind of jerk. He looked at the paper, it was not clear what it was to him.

“What in the world is this?” Liam looked at Lisa waiting for her to explain what he was holding, he could see the disgusted look on her face.

Lisa rolled her eyes and then looked at Liam, she wasn't hiding that she didn't like him. “You are holding divorce papers, Lady Monica wants you to make sure that you sign those papers so you will be out of her life.”

Liam was a bit shocked when he heard that those were divorce papers in his hand, he looked at Lisa trying his best to process what he had heard from her.

“Please explain to me what you mean by this,” Liam raised the papers, looking at Lisa with a little anger in his eyes. “Are you trying to say that Monica wants a divorce? And she didn't even bother to show up here herself?”

Liam was looking at Lisa, he wondered what was going on. It was too confusing for him to even comprehend, he wanted to make sure he controlled his words and at the same time that we didn't do anything that would cause a scene.

“Lady Monica is in an important meeting with Keston City’s finest and I will tell you that there is no way you are of any relevance to her at the moment. She is going to handle her business before wasting time on a trivial matter such as you.” Lisa said with disgust in her voice.

Her words managed to strike Liam's nerve, he looked at Lisa with pure rage in his heart. “What in the world are you spouting here?! Monica would never look down on me like this for her to allow a mere assistant to give me something like this!”

Liam threw the paper on the floor, his voice was laced with pure rage. He looked at Lisa, he wanted to know where Monica was and what she was doing.

“Where in the world is Monica?!” Liam was getting upset, and with the sound of his voice, it was clear that he was not going to be playing around.

Lisa stepped back, she was ready to call security at the step Liam made. “I wonder how an elegant lady like that married a brute like you?!”

Suddenly the office doors opened, and a bea woman wearing a milk-colored silk gown walked in. To call her beautiful was an understatement, she was divinely endowed.

“What in the world is going on here?” The lady asked, looking around the office, Liam turned to look at her.

“Finally Monica, you're here.”
