As the deafening sounds of gunfire shattered the once lively and peaceful atmosphere, chaos erupted as bullets began to fly. The two assailants that were shooting from inside the car aimes at Karen and Shannon. It was very likely that Karen was the target. As bullets narrowly missed her, Karen's instincts kicked in as she reacted swiftly, diving behind a nearby pillar for cover. Adrenaline surged through her veins as she assessed the situation, her mind racing with a thousand thoughts.She didn't understand what was happening and why was she been shot at? Fear gripped her as she hid behind the pillar. Shannon, frozen in shock for a moment, quickly followed suit, crouching beside Karen for protection. It was very unexpected and scary. No one had any idea what was happening. Why did the car just suddenly pull up and start shooting at the people?People who were nearby screamed in fear and scattered in all directions, desperately seeking cover from the sudden gunfire. Some dropped to th
Seated down in his office, Liam's gaze was glued to the computer screen on his desk, as he was fully immersed in reading through the financial reports of multiversal studios. With his brow furrowed in concentration, Liam continued to go through the intricate details of the financial reports, occasionally jotting down notes on a pad beside him. His focus was unmoving his mind studying the numbers and trends with precision. This marked a significant moment for Liam; it was the first time in a while that he had been able to fully concentrate on something. Ever since learning about Elena's pregnancy, he had been plagued by constant worry, unable to focus on anything else. The fear of how others would react, especially Karen, had consumed him. But after discussing the situation with his mother and sister, he felt a slight sense of relief. Perhaps, he mused, Karen might surprise him with her understanding and support. Only time would tell.As he delved deeper into his analysis, Liam's conc
As the doctor approached Liam and everyone, a sense of anticipation filled the air. Mrs. Wolfe, her expression filled with worry, asked the doctor. "Doctor, how is she doing?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly as she closed her eyes, bracing herself for the answer. The possibility of receiving bad news weighed heavily on her. She feared that the doctor might deliver bad news about Karen.Not only Mrs. Wolfe, but everyone present was gripped by fear as they awaited the doctor's response. The tension in the air was evident, each member of the group silently praying for positive news about Karen's condition. Liam felt his heart pounding in his chest, his eyes fixed on the doctor, desperately hoping for reassurance that Karen was okay. The possibility of losing her was too much to bear, and the thought sent a chill down his spine. Time seemed to stand still as they waited anxiously for the doctor's answer, their fear threatening to overwhelm them.To everyone's relief, the doctor's
Everyone was surprised when they heard Shannon say that she might be the reason Karen had gotten shot. “What?” Mrs Wolfe exclaimed, eyeing Shannon with a perplexed gaze, not understanding what she was saying. Indeed, Shannon's realization was very accurate. The shooters had targeted her, not Karen. However, Karen's proximity to Shannon had inadvertently saved her life, as the assailants missed their intended target and shot Karen instead. Additionally, Shannon was fortunate that the assailants chose not to step out of the vehicle, likely fearing the imminent arrival of law enforcement. Their departure without completing their sinister task also spared Shannon from further harm.“What do you mean?”Liam asked, his tone laced with concern as he processed Shannon's unexpected confession. His mind raced with questions, as he tried to piece together how Shannon could be involved in Karen's predicament.Everyone turned to Shannon, their expression puzzled after hearing what she had said reg
Karen had almost died because of some guy named Curtis who had ordered a hit on Shannon. And apparently his men had failed to assassinate Shannon but instead shot Karen and she had almost lost her life. While glad and greatly relieved that she was alive even after getting shot and falling into a coma, Liam couldn't help feeling fearful when he imagined what if the worst had happened?What if she hadn't made it? The thought clawed into him, a vision of her falling, eyes lifeless. Just thinking of the possibility made Liam fear shivers run down his spine. Karen had become a very important person in his life, and he didn't want to lose her. Love was a dangerous word, but he had to admit it, it was what he felt for her.The possibility of Karen succumbing to her injuries haunted Liam. The mere idea that her life could have been taken because of Curtis's hired gunmen fueled his anger and resentment towards him. Even though Karen was not the intended target, she still got shot, and Liam co
A little while later, Liam arrived at the exact location Mr. Martinez had disclosed to him, his mind consumed by a single intention: to find Curtis and exact vengeance for Karen's condition. He was enraged and consumed by a burning desire for retribution. And everytime he thought of Karen and what she must be going through on that hospital bed his anger intensified, making him want to get revenge for Karen even more. Liam's thoughts were clouded, and he wasn't thinking as rationally as he should have been at the moment. All he could think about was inflicting pain upon the person responsible for his fiancée lying in a coma.As Liam arrived, he swiftly packed his car with determined efficiency. However, as he was about to set off towards the warehouse, something caught his attention. With a slight frown, he glanced in the direction of the disturbance, only to be met with a surprising sight. More than five cop cars and trucks were parked outside the warehouse entrance, and the area was
Arriving at the hospital, Liam hurriedly made his way to Karen's room, his heart pounding with worry after receiving his mom's urgent call. The sense of urgency in her voice had left Liam fearing the worst, wondering if something bad had happened to Karen in the hospital. As he entered the hospital room, Liam's anxiety peaked,.and he couldn't help imagining the worst. However, to his immense relief, when he entered the room and darted his gaze towards the bed, he found Karen lying in the bed with her eyes open, listening to Mrs. Danvers and her mom speaking to her. A wave of relief washed over Liam as he observed Karen's alertness, reassured that she was awake and seemingly on the path to recovery, just as the doctor had predicted.A smile of relief and happiness spread across Liam's face as he approached the bed. His worries eased as he reached out to gently grasp Karen's hand, feeling grateful to see her awake and responsive.Liam pulled up a chair beside Karen's bed, his gaze soft
A few weeks later, following the incident that landed Karen in the hospital, she was finally discharged from the hospital as her recovery had progressed smoothly. Remarkably, after some days had passed she had even returned to work, her determination shining through.Meanwhile, around that same time, Mr. Danvers and Liam, determined to not let Curtis get away with Karen's situation, had ensured that Curtis faced the full consequences of his actions. And it was as Liam had expected: Once he had gotten arrested, Curtis had tried to use his wealth and influence to get himself out of trouble, however to his dismay that didn't work, apparently he was dealing with the Danvers family, a family much more powerful than his entire empire.Despite Curtis's attempts to leverage his wealth and influence, Mr. Danvers and Liam had ensured justice prevailed. Curtis found himself convicted and sentenced to a lengthy prison term, a fitting end to his misdeeds.Seated in his bedroom, Liam was engrossed
Hi everyone, This marks the end of Billionaire Son-in-Law and Liam's journey. I hope you enjoyed the ending and that it met your expectations. If not, I truly apologize. Thank you for following this story to the end. Your support means a lot to me. I'd also like to thank my editor for their continued promotion of the book.

More than 7 years later passed….The Danvers manor was alive with celebration. Rays of sunlight poured through the wide, open windows, bathing the grand hall in golden glow. The warmth of the sun mixed with the light of chandeliers overhead, created a dreamlike ambiance.Balloons of blue, white, and gold floated on the ceiling, their ribbons trailing down. Laughter echoed from every corner of the big mansion. Children’s giggles mixed together with the clatter of plates, the clinking of glasses, and the soft melody of music playing in the background. The air was filled with the scent of vanilla cake and fresh flowers.“Make a wish, sweetheart,” Rachel said softly, parting the little boy infront of her on the head.A child, no older than six, sat in front of a cake, his cheeks turning red and his face glowing with excitement. The flames of the birthday candles reflected in his eyes. He squeezed his eyes shut tight, holding his breath as he thought long and hard about his wish, like it
Meanwhile...Liam, Adriana, Blackthorn, and the others stepped cautiously into a vast, faintly lit corridor. The air was cold despite the fact that they were indoors and there were flames from iron sconces lighting up the long and narrow corridor. “What is this place?” Liam muttered, his gaze scanning the ancient architecture. It wasn’t modern, no electricity or anything. Infact this looked like it was a completely different world, from the one he lived in. It looked like something pulled straight from a medieval times movie.At that moment, the clatter of hundreds of hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor, sharp and growing louder with every second. Heads turned toward the sound, eyes narrowing in readiness.“They know we’re here,” Adriana muttered, stepping forward with purpose. Her stance shifted as she reached over her shoulder, drawing a sleek, double-edged sword from its sheath on her back. The cold steel shined in the faintly lit corridor. Ignoring the gun strapped to her
The large room was faintly lit. The mysterious members of the shadow council were gathered around the throne-like chair where the Supreme Master sat. The chamber had the ghostly stillness of a forgotten era, its design nothing like the modern time. No modern features decorated the space, only stone walls, iron sconces holding bright flames, and a cold floor of dark granite.It felt like a place pulled straight from medieval times. Even the guards by the entrance wore attire resembling that period. The only figure out of place was Mr. Simpson, dressed in a green suit and black shoes, a bug difference to the world around him.Simpson stood before the council, his head lowered as he delivered the news of yet another one of his failures."Liam Danvers has escaped," he announced, his voice casual but cautious. "We– we believe his family played a role in his escape."Silence followed. It was thick. Unforgiving. And scary. Simpson felt a shiver run down his spine, just from anticipating wha
Eventually, they stopped at a large set of double doors. One of the men stepped forward, twisting the handle before pushing them open.Liam's eyes narrowed as he stepped inside. The room was larger than he expected, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the forest below. His eyes scanned the room. His movements slowed when he spotted familiar faces. Adriana, George, and a few other agents from Adriana's organization standing around. Blackthorn was in conversation with Adriana and George, their expression business-like.“Hi, what’s going on?” Liam asked, his gaze wary, calculating.He’d always thought Blackthorn and Adriana’s people didn’t get along. Seeing them together now, standing like allies or partners, didn’t sit right. Suspicion crept into his mind.“Glad you could make it, Danvers,” Blackthorn said with a grin. “I must apologize for the way you got out of prison. But I promise, it was your friend's idea, not mine.”Adriana nodded. “We asked him to break you out. The Shado
"What do you mean he escaped?" Simpson barked into the phone, his grip so tight in anger the phone creaked, like it might break."The station was attacked, sir," the chief of police stammered nervously. "Multiple officers down. By the time we regained control, Danvers was gone."Simpson’s nostrils flared as he slammed his hand on the armrest of his seat in the limousine. He felt a sweat from in his forehead as he thought about how he would explain this to the Shadow council. He didn't want to face their wrath for this. "Then find him and arrest him, I don’t care how—lock down the city if you have to.""Yes, sir. Units are moving now," the officer replied hurriedly.Simpson ended the call with a sharp tap, his gaze hard and unblinking. Edward seated across from him in the limo, couldn't help asking. "What the hell happened?" "Liam Danvers escaped." Edward's eyes shot up in shock. Weren't they just talking to Liam Danvers in the holding cell not even 2 hours ago, so how did this happ
Liam turned slowly and walked back to the cold, hard bench. He lowered himself onto it, letting out a long, controlled exhale before lying down. The cold surface pressed against his back, familiar now after a week in this miserable cell. It was like this place had become his second home, one he’d never asked for. No amount of influence or wealth from his family had been enough to get him out. The courts had refused him bail, and even the chief of police had played along with it. Well the bastard was getting paid by Mr Simpson and the people he was working with, so of course he was going to play along with it. Liam closed his eyes, he was stuck here, with every sign pointing to the fact that he’d be here for a long time. It was suffocating, inescapable. Worse still, the allegations against him were serious enough to warrant a life sentence. The thought stayed at the back of his mind.Liam sat up abruptly, his elbows resting on his knees, as he recalled Simpsons last words as he left
On the other hand, Edwards snickered at Liam's threats, "Still acting tough, huh? I guess it’s true what they say. Pride comes before the fall." He took a step closer, standing shoulder to shoulder with Simpson. "Thing is, Danvers, this fall? It’s a long one. And you? You’ve got no parachute." Simpson leaned into the bar, his eyes filled with cruelty. "You're done for, Danvers, and so is your family's dominance. As you can see, your family isn't as powerful as it used to be. The Simpsons are the new power in town now,” he said with a twisted grin. “And soon, I'll make sure there are no Danvers left. I'll make sure every single last one of you Danvers is wiped off the face of the Earth.” From the way he said it, it sounded like was making a promise to murder his family and he meant it, which made Liam enraged deep down.Liam rose from the bench, slow and deliberate. He walked towards the bars, stopping inches away, his eyes locked onto Simpson's. His calm demeanor had evaporated now,
Days dragged by slowly for Liam. A week had passed, and he was still locked up in the holding cell. His family had done everything in their power to get him out on bail, but they had failed. Despite their immense influence and authority, it seemed they had been overpowered this time by Mr. Simpson and whoever was backing him.Liam wasn't surprised when his family informed him that Mr. Simpson, in collaboration with some mysterious organization, was behind it all, along with Elena and Nathan.The mastermind behind the entire scheme to frame him for these crimes, however, was none other than Elena. She had even devised the plan to have him accused of assaulting Selena, ensuring his reputation was already tarnished before they delivered the final blow.Liam didn’t know how he was going to deal with Elena. She was the mother of his unborn child, but she was also his enemy. It was because of her that he was sitting in this cell, facing serious allegations. He already knew how he would hand
