Shifting his gaze from his cellphone to look at the guys, Liam had a perplexed expression as he replied, "Excuse me?" He asked, since he didn't understand the man's question at first.Keeping his serious expression, the man asked again, "Are you Liam Danvers?" Before answering his question, Liam regarded the man and his friends for a few seconds, wondering if he was the same man who had texted him or what? But seeing as he was dressed in the same outfits as his friends, Liam realized that the man might be a worker of whoever was texting him.Liam replied, "Yes, tell you boss to get himself here before I change my mind and leave." He said in an arrogant commanding tone. His tone was something the men didn't like, but since they couldn't do anything to him, they just looked at each other, before turning around and leaving.Liam watched as the guys walked out of the door, one of them stopped and a waitress walked over to him. It looked like he was giving her instructions about somethin
The fact that someone who was in no way, in the same league as him was threatening him, made Liam very annoyed.Why would someone who was in his right state of mind threaten him ever? And not to mention, he was trying to force him into selling multiversal studios shares? How messed up was that? Liam just couldn't understand Simon's stupidity and shamelessness for threatening him.Maybe it was because he wasn't ruthless enough, and he had never shown anyone his power and influence, and everyone always saw him as a soft guy, who could be threatened and be manipulated by anyone in this world.But Simon was known for being like that, he had threatened a lot of business men into giving up their shares from their companies, and if they refused he would do the unthinkable to them, and he was hoping to do the same thing to Liam now. After all, he would be a very powerful man if he could take over multiversal studios, his competitors would be scared of him.Simon looked at Liam for a moment,
Liam was enraged after Simon crossed the line by threatening to harm his parents. And he was not going to let that just slide without showing Simon what happens if someone threatens his parents. So he stabbed Simon on the hand with a fork.Shock was visible on Simon's eyes, as he slowly darted his gaze and looked at the fork that had penetrated deep into his skin, and not to mention he was in so much pain, but he couldn't scream due to the overwhelming shock he was feeling.Liam looked into his eyes angrily as he said, "Never, threaten me or my family again." Liam let out lividly, as he twisted the fork on Simon's hand to inflict even more pain, and Simon let out a cry in pain. He was in a lot of pain, but at that same time he was also shocked, because he hadn't expected it from Liam. Everything happened too fast and suddenly.His men too were too shocked to even react. They didn't expect what was happening to be happening to their boss. "What the hell!" One of the men, wearing a dar
Although Simon was a fearsome gangster, that didn't stop Liam from beating him up. And Simon deserved the beating for being smug. Liam wasn't afraid of Simon at all, he could destroy Simon if he wanted, but he just didn't think that was reasonable. Simon was not in his league, and that was a fact."I don't like threats," Liam said coldly, as he gripped on Simon's collar, and delivered yet another powerful blow in his stomach, making Simons gasp for air."Okay, okay, stop, please, I'm sorry! I promise I won't ever bother you again." Simon pleaded as Liam threw him onto the table, his body slammed the table before hitting the floor. Simon was in so much pain, he had enough beating for one night, but it looked as if Liam was not done, seeing as Liam was walking towards him.Simon tried to reach for the gun on the floor, but before his hand could reach it, Liam kicked it away.Simon was witnessing a side of Liam he never thought existed, and now he was just wishing he could go back and no
After some time, Liam had left the hospital and was sitting in the backseat of a taxi, on his way to the airport. He was glad that he had settled everything with Simon. Liam was sure that after the beating he had given Simon, Simon would never dare mess with him again, because he was afraid of him.But little did he know that it was the opposite, Simon was mad after that beating he had received, and he had vowed to make Liam regret what he had done. He even had men looking for Liam all over the city to take Liam's life.Of course he was mad! And why wouldn't he be mad at Liam ? He was humiliated, by the bastard, and he was not going to let that slide, no way.Liam rested his head on the car seat as he thought about all the work he still had to do when he got back home, and he was already feeling exhausted by just thinking about it. And somehow his thoughts drifted to Lana, and a smile made its way to his face, just by thinking about her, he was getting attached to her. Liam decided to
After telling Erin to leave, Liam was disappointed after seeing that she wasn't living, instead she was seated comfortably on the seat. She was not leaving, not without talking to him, she had made up her mind. And the reason she wanted to talk to him was because Amanda had just informed her that she had been replaced by Lana, from the movie she was currently working on. And it was all for no known reason.Liam sighed, knowing that it was almost impossible to get rid of her, so he had no choice but to talk to her about whatever it was she wanted to talk about."Okay, what do you want to talk about?" Liam asked with no emotions in his tone, looking at the documents on his hands. Although he was so irritated with her presence he didn't want to show it.Erin looked at him with a serious gaze, and the fact that he wasn't even paying attention to her while they were talking, just showed the utmost disrespect Liam had towards her, and she hated being disrespected by anyone. Especially a d
After Mr Danvers addressed Liam as son, Erin was confused, wondering why did Mr. Danvers call Liam son?Maybe he just considered Liam as his son, and that's why he called him son. With those thoughts in mind, Erin decided to not think too much of it, after all, there was no problem with someone calling Liam son."Morning d." Liam stopped his sentence midway, realizing he was about to call Mr Danvers 'dad' Infront of Erin, and that would expose his identity. He cleared his throat slightly, glancing at Erin to catch her reaction and see if she was suspecting something, but seeing as she looked casual, Liam figured she wasn't suspicious about anything. He glanced at his parents and said, "Morning, Mr and Mrs. Danvers, what brings you here?""We came to see how the company is doing." Liam's mom replied, looking around the office."Okay." Liam nodded.Mrs. Danvers walked over to Erin with a smile on her face. "Mrs. Steinfeld… how are you doing?" Liam's mom asked, stretching out her arm to
The news about Donnie's passing was very shocking and devastating to Liam and Donnie's family. And no one had any idea that Simon had paid someone who worked at the hospital to murder Donnie, and it was all a part of his revenge against Liam who had humiliated him, by beating the hell out of him.And two days after the death of Donnie.Liam was sitting in his room, checking his mail on his cellphone. He had just come back from attending Donnie's family in Fic country, and he was still saddened by Donnie's death. The doctors said, Donnie died due to a heart attack, but something wasn't letting Liam buy it, even when he was trying to make himself believe it, he just couldn't believe it. He had a feeling Simon had something to do with Donnie's death. But if Simon was responsible for his death, that meant, Simon did it because he wanted to pay Liam back for the beating he received the other day. And thinking about that, Liam couldn't help but feel guilty about it, because it might have
The next day.“Mr. Danvers, you're pushing yourself too hard," a gentle voice interrupted his thoughts. Liam blinked, turning to see a nurse regarding him with concern. "You need rest too, you know. Ms. Bennett is in good hands," she added kindly, her tone soft yet firm.Liam’s gaze shifted briefly to the nurse before returning to Elena's sleeping face. Her fragile state was a reminder of how dangerous the situation was. “I’m alright, thank you,” he replied, his voice calm but carrying a hint of finality. He offered a faint, polite smile, enough to ease the nurse’s concern without inviting further conversation.Liam leaned back slightly in his chair, his hands gripping the armrests. He also wanted to go home and get some rest. However he couldn't bring himself to leave Elena’s side. What if something goes wrong while he is away? He had to make sure she was alright, and Nathan didn't try anything.Nathan wasn’t done, not by a long shot. Even with the security stationed outside the hos
Liam watched Nathan, his jaw tightening as he watched his act unfold. The ease with which Nathan faked concern infuriated him. It wasn’t just the deception, it was the calculated way Nathan played on Elena’s trust. Liam’s instinct was to confront him and expose him immediately, to reveal the truth, but he knew better. Accusing her brother without evidence would only backfire; Elena would never believe him. They were enemies, so she would only see it as him trying to drive a wedge between her and her brother out of spite. No matter how genuine Liam’s intentions were, Elena’s trust in Nathan and her disdain for the Danvers family, would cloud her judgment. If Liam confronted her now, it would only deepen her mistrust and strengthen Nathan’s position.He needed proof; something undeniable that would shatter the illusion Nathan so carefully maintained. Until then, Liam could do nothing but wait and watch, even as the charade continued before his eyes.Good to see you're awake, Ms. Bennet
Liam's head snapped toward Elena, as she stirred on the hospital bed, her eyelids fluttering as if she were struggling to open them fully. The faint rise and fall of her chest confirmed she was alive, but she looked weak and disoriented.“Elena?” Liam’s voice softened as he released Nathan abruptly, letting him drop to the floor. Nathan gasped for air, clutching his throat while glaring at Liam.Liam ignored him entirely, rushing to Elena’s bed side. He placed a hand on the bed's railing, leaning closer to get a better look at her face. “Elena, can you hear me?”Elena blinked slowly, her lips parting as she tried to speak, but her voice came out as a strained whisper. “L-Liam?”She sounded surprised, not only by Liam's presence, but because she found herself laying on a hospital bed. "What, happened?"“Yes, it’s me,” Liam said, his tone laced with relief. His gaze flicked briefly toward Nathan, who was still recovering on the floor but making no move toward Elena now. Returning his at
"Doctor, can I see her?" Nathan asked, his voice a carefully faked blend of concern and anxiety. He leaned forward slightly, as if eager to rush to Elena's side, but his eyes held a calculating glint, that showed his true feelings.He had no care for Elena, the only reason he wanted to see her was to make sure she wouldn't wake up. He was disappointed when he heard that she survived the car crash, even more disappointed when he tried to do it himself and he was almost caught.Dr. Grant, looking observant, paused for a moment, studying Nathan's face. He had seen countless worried family members in his years of practice and being a doctor, and something about Nathan's demeanor felt off. Even the way Nathan spoke and carried himself, it was all pretend. However, he couldn't deny a brother's request to see his sister, after all, he was just a doctor here and nothing else."Of course," Dr. Grant replied, stepping aside. "But she's still unconscious. I wouldn't expect ....""I understand,
Nathan was just as nervous, if not more than brad. "Hold on," he said, reaching for his phone, panic creeping into his voice. "Let me try and call for help."His fingers moved quickly, dialing a number with speed. The phone rang only once before someone answered."Hi, Mr Simpson, it's Nathan," he said, his voice tight with growing anxiety. As he began to realize what a dangerous situation he was in, panic began to set in. "I’m being chased. Need backup, now."After a brief exchange on the other end with Mr Simpson, Nathan hung up and leaned back in his seat, his eyes locked on the rearview mirror, watching the Danvers security vehicles closing in fast. Brad glanced at him nervously. "Are they going to be able to help? We’re running out of time."Nathan didn’t answer immediately, his eyes narrowing as he focused on the road ahead. "Yes. Just give them a few minutes. Simpson's men are close by."Some time later, they were still being pursued by Danvers security, unable to shake them. B
Liam stood frozen in the doorway, his breath caught in his throat as his gaze darted from the panick stricken doctors to Elena. She was lying on the bed, looking still and lifeless.The beeping of the heart monitor echoed in his ears, sharp and irregular. He had been gone for only a few minutes, but it felt like a lifetime. Something was terribly wrong already. What happened when he was gone? He didn't know, but he was very worried for Elena and his baby."Is she going to be okay?" Liam asked, his voice was barely above a whisper as he asked the doctors. His eyes searched their faces for an answer, but no one seemed willing to give. They were too focused on Elena.Doctor Grant, focused and calm despite the chaos, didn't look up as he adjusted the machines. "We're doing everything we can, Mr Danvers. I suggest you go outside sir."Liam's stomach twisted with anxiety. He felt like he shouldn't leave Elena and the baby’s side, but he knew the doctors needed space to work. Reluctantly, h
At the same time, Irene and Alvin Danvers arrived outside the hospital room, accompanied by Doctor Grant.The doctor Grant was telling them about Elena's health and the risks she could face on her way to recovery. He spoke calmly, his tone professional yet reassuring. “So far, there have been no complications. She should recover well.”Alvin Danvers voice was composed as usual, but laced with concern as he enquired“And the pregnancy? Is the baby going to be okay?”“Yes, we believe so,” Doctor Grant replied, nodding his head. “But even with all indications being positive, we can’t be completely sure there won’t be complications. It’s something we’ll need to monitor closely.”"That's such a relief, that she is better," Irene Danvers sighed, her tension slightly easing. As much as she and the Danvers family didn't like Elena, they were worried about her, because she was carrying, potentially the future heir to the Danvers empire. Irenes brows furrowed again as she asked, “What other ris
Slipping into the room, Nathan’s eyes were fixed on Elena with a cold, predatory intensity. Not even seeing her in the state that she was in, made him feel bad for her. It was a testament of how much hatred he had built up for her, ever since the betrayal.The door clicked shut softly behind him. As he approached the bed, his footsteps were slow and deliberate. His gaze roamed over her pale face. He stood by the bed, glaring down at her unconscious body. At first, his facial expression was casual, as if he were merely observing something boring. But then, suddenly, his demeanor shifted. His eyes softened, and his brow furrowed in an almost sorrowful way. The rapid change in his emotions was unusual and unsettling. It was as though two opposing emotions: cold detachment and remorse battled within him, each fighting for dominance. Well, Elena was someone whom he used to consider family, and loved so of course he was going to be feeling bad and guilty, but at the same time he hated h
Liam turned to look at Nathan. Their expressions were unreadable as the two men stared at each other. From the hostility in each other's eyes, it was clear they were enemies.Liam turned back around with a sigh. Although he disliked Nathan’s presence intensely, he decided to tolerate it for now. There were more pressing matters at hand than their mutual disdain.Nathan stepped further into the room, closing the door quietly behind him. His gaze lingered on Elena. And a storm of frustration was boiling beneath his calm facade. ‘How the fuck is she still alive?’ he thought bitterly. ‘Those bastards. Useless idiots. I should have done this myself instead of hiring some incompetent fools.’ The sight of Elena still breathing, although shallowly, was infuriating Nathan. All his carefully planned plans, the money he had spent, the risks taken now felt like it was a waste.But the wasted money was the least of Nathan's concerns right now.He feared that if Elena woke up, there was a very rea
