"Yes, maam. You are welcome to the B Palace." Bethany said, with a smile.

The woman carefully looked around, with no expression, and then Bethany pulled out a seat for her. There were only a few people left, so they were urged to be quick with their food, and the closed sign was put outside. After a few minutes, the other customers were done with their food, and they left. Bethany gathered all her workers, and they all stood in front of the woman.

"So, introduction?" She asked.

Who says I wouldn't have another panic attack? Who says I wouldn't mess this up. I need a little more time, at least until my heart rate slows." He said and she put a hand to her forehead. "Are you aware of what you're saying? Like, what do I say when I get out there?" She asked and he pointed to his briefcase which she took. "Open it." He said and her fingers worked quickly, trying to open it. "Can we all just wait a minute. Maybe Mr Grayson is trying to take his time." They heard the host say from outside. "Check for something that looks like an ear pod, fast." He said and Ivy held up a blue ear pod. "Here." She said handing it to him. "Put that in your ear not give it to me.

    Brandon was pacing around as he kept calling Ivy but she wasn’t answering the call. He felt she had taken too long as it was already 2 hours past. Then he turned to Liam who was still looking scared.“I guess your mommy doesn’t really care about you, after all.” Then he removed the plaster from his mouth.“What do you say to that, kiddo? You should hate your mom, because she now leaves me no choice than to sell you to child traffickers.” Brandon said to Liam.“Please don’t sell me. Take me back to my mother.” Liam cried out as he began to hiccup.“Well, if only your tears were strong enough to thaw my heart.” “Please take me back to my mom.” Liam continued crying.“This is the reason I plastered up your mouth the other time. Do you want me to plaster it up again!” Brandon lashed out on Liam, angrily.Liam shook his head, feeling more scared.“Good. Now, I will feed you because I wouldn’t like to sell you when you are on an empty stomach, so I’ll lose these ropes and take you to the

She had come to talk to her to congratulate her for winning Alexander, although sarcastically, but seeing as Brandon had carried out the task easily, she didn’t bother anymore.“Now, you ought to know that it is completely dangerous to compete with someone like me.” She said to the air, then put on her sun shade and dialed Brandon’s number.“I see you have the child. Good job. Text me the hideout?” She inquired, feeling like a successful mafia boss.The location of the hideout was texted to her seconds after she hung up the call and then she smirked and drove off to the location. While Bethany was driving through different roads and streets, she discovered that they weren’t as quiet as she thought they were going to be.“Why the hell is this place so loud? Why would he do business around places like this?” She complained as she drove through a street until she got to t

He was gay. And what does her picture have to do with our deal?" Brandon inquired, trying to understand what was going on.Then Ivy showed him Liam's picture as well."This is her boy.

    Alexander was surprised that a month had passed by so fast and he wondered what surprise Bethany had for him.“That’s good news. I hope your journey back to the city wasn’t hectic.” “It wasn’t. Why would it be when the joy of seeing you has filled my heart?” Bethany blushed over the phone.Alexander chuckled awkwardly, then he decided to get off that awkward situation by asking a question. “You said you have a surprise for me. What is it? I am actually curious about what surprise you have for me.” “Yeah. Let’s meet at my house, tomorrow’s morning, then you’ll marvel.” She squealed in excitement. “Honey, I have to go.

    Ivy’s gaze was fixed at Liam’s body and she was trying to make sense of what was going on at the moment. Alexander walked in as he had gotten his shot pretty fast. He noticed the atmosphere and touched Ivy’s shoulder.“What’s going on Ivy?” He asked as he wondered why she was staring that way and looking a bit lost.Then Ivy looked up at Alexander and pointed at Liam.“Why is he covered up?” She asked as tears began to fill her eyes up.“Oh, Liam was actually acting stubborn today and I was about calling his favorite doctor as he wanted to see him. He was being rebellious, so he remained adamant about having the bed cover, covering his face as well.”“Mommy?” Liam called out to her in a low tone as he removed the bed cover from his face.“Oh, my goodness. Liam, my baby.” She said, in relief as she walked up to him in joy.She hugged him tight and sniffed his neck.“I missed you mom.

I will be at your place in less than 45 minutes.”“Oh, I think we won’t be able to meet tonight, Alexander.”“And why is that?” Alexander asked, out of curiosity.“An important meeting came up and I am no longer in the city.

That would be when I get back.” Bethany informed, in a low tone.“But are you okay?” Alexander asked, noticing Bethany’s low tone.“I’m fine. I am going to miss you, Alexander.

    “Piper!” Ivy exclaimed as she stood up immediately and walked towards her slowly. “I thought you left.” Ivy said, with tears, strolling down her chin.“I did. But Bethany texted me, saying you were about to ridicule yourself in the company I worked at recently.” Piper replied, looking sad. “And, I am sorry for leaving. I just thought that was the best. You know very well that I did it for your good, right?” Piper sniffed, looking into Ivy’s eyes as she got teary.Then the CEO slammed his hands on the table in anger as he stood up.“Take your emotional drama out of my office, this instant!” He ordered, with his right eyebrow arched.Ivy cupped Piper’s face carefully, with her hands and pursed her lips as she looked at her pitifully.“You have been doing things for me. Now, it is my turn to do things for you.” Ivy said, with firmness, then released Piper’s face and turned to the CEO who was fuming in anger.“I know very well that your phone is probably filled with threatening texts from
