Not liking the fact that Erin was declaring respect from Liam, when she, herself had never given him any respect, Karen felt like reminding Erin about who she was to Liam. "Soon to be his ex-wife." She said.And Erin didn't like the fact that Karen got involved in her and Liam's conversation. "Well, look who's talking?" She said coldly. "Just keep quiet, this doesn't concern you," Erin said coldly, rolling her eyes at Karen.One would say both Erin and Karen were equally matched when it came to looks. They were both beautiful and elegant.Surprised by Erin's response, Karen looked at her with a surprised expression and replied. "Excuse me?"Erin's expression was cold as she looked at Karen and let out coldly. "Why don't you just stay out of this? It doesn't concern you?" Erin never liked Karen in the first place, and now that Karen was getting involved with Liam, she disliked her even more."It does concern me." Karen replied casually glancing at Liam, "I'm his friend." She continued
"It's a pleasure," Liam replied with smile.Erin was shocked, hearing Mr. Griffin addressing Liam as Mr. Danvers. She was wondering why did Mr. Griffin address him as Mr. Danvers? It didn't make sense, because Liam's last name was Steinfeld. What was going on?After Mr. Griffin left, she shifted her attention to Liam. She had a lot of questions, that she had to ask him. "Why did he call you Mr. Danvers?"Liam shrugged his shoulders casually. "How would I know that? Maybe he is mistaken?" He replied casually, without looking at Erin. And that was the only explanation he could come up with. He was just hoping she believes him and doesn't ask any more questions.Lucky for him, she believed him. Maybe Mr. Griffin was just mistaken. 'I forgot he is an orphan with no real last name and no one in his life.' Erin thought to herself.But little did she know that he was not an orphan with no one in his life. He had a lot of people who cared about him.Liam looked at her and he decided to remind
The sound of his alarm blaring had Liam jolt awake from his sleep. He tilted his head and looked at the clock on his bedside table. It was 7 am. Still feeling sleepy, he let out a light yawn, as he ran his hands through his hair and sat up on the bed. At that moment, the sound of his cell phone ringing, had him dart his gaze toward it. When he grabbed the cell phone, he saw that it was an unknown number so he just ignored it. He didn't like answering unknown numbers, for all he knew it could be Erin trying to ruin his day before it even starts.Putting the cell phone away, Liam sighed. His thoughts drifted to what had occurred the previous night. Thinking back to what had happened the previous night, it was awkward, Liam still couldn't believe that Karen actually kissed him. "Wow." He let out, still not believing that that had occurred. Maybe it was because she was a little drunk and she was not in the right state of mind, that's why she kissed him?Well, it didn't matter the reaso
Mr and Mrs. Danvers had no idea that their Rolls-Royce phantoms brakes were sabotaged when they got in. By the time they had realized that it was too late, and their car crashed and burned.….Meanwhile.Erin was on the phone talking to Marshall's wife. She was asking her to drop the charges against Marshall, even after everything that he had done, and Erin couldn't believe that she was hearing that. Marshall hurt them both and he should be punished for that."I'm sorry, but I can't help you out with that, not after what he did to me." Erin replied, not believing that she was being asked to do such a thing. Marshall deserved what was happening to him. He tried to kill her for goodness sake.Even after Erin had denied her multiple times, Cynthia was not giving up, she kept on asking Erin to forgive her husband. She knew how Erin felt after he had tried to kill her and she understood that, but she needed Marshal because she couldn't raise her daughter alone, and on top of that she was
"I don't care if I'm selfish, but I'm not doing that, now please, can you leave my bedroom, I have to go out for work." She angrily said pointing her mom to the door.And her mom had no choice but to leave.Sighing exhaustively, Erin picked up her purse and walked out of her bedroom. When she got to the garage she got in one of her Cars and drove to multiversal studios.…A few minutes later, Erin arrived at multiversal studios, and she made her way to the set to begin shooting, but when she got there she was shocked to see another actress had taken her place.Feeling hurt and shocked, Erin approached Tiffany, the producer and asked her what was going on, and why did she get replaced."I'm sorry Erin, but the CEO came by, and he insisted that we give the role to someone else, since you were late." Tiffany informed politely. "I didn't make any of the decisions, I'm sorry, but the CEO did." She added with remorse in her tone. She also didn't like that Liam had replaced Erin with some up
Sitting in his office, Liam was reminiscing about the fight he had just had with Erin, where she accused him of trying to ruin her career. And it was true, he was trying to ruin her career and that was his revenge on her. The sound of his cell phone ringing had Liam come out of his thoughts, to take out his cell phone from his pockets. Looking at the caller's ID, he saw that the call was from the Sheriff, and he raised his eyebrows. He was wondering why the Sheriff was calling him. HE answered the call and raised the phone to his ear."Hello, is this Liam Danvers?" The Sheriff's calm voice from the other end of the line asked."Yes, it is?" Liam replied in a calm voice, leaning back on his leather chair. "Anyways, why did you call, sheriff?" He asked nicely.There was a brief silence before the sheriff spoke up. "I'm sorry to inform you that your parents have been in an accident. And unfortunately, they have lost their lives." The Sheriff informed him in a sad tone.Liam raised his
A week later.Laying in his bed, the sound of his alarm had Liam jolt awake from his sleep. He gazed at the alarm clock and saw that it was 6:30 am. Frowning, he reached for the alarm clock with his hand and turned it off, before he sat up on the bed and stretched his arms.After about a week of being sad, today he actually had something to smile about, because It was the day he had been looking forward to for quite some time now, the day where he and Erin would get divorced. He was glad that he was finally going to be free from Erin, and he couldn't help but fantasize about what he was going to do with all the freedom.As Liam was fantasizing about what he was going to do with his life after divorcing Erin, his thoughts drifted to his parents who were no more, and that brought sadness.Sighing loudly, Liam got up from the bed and went to the shower to freshen up before leaving for the court house. After he was done taking a bath he got dressed and left his bedroom.Dressed in a black
Walking towards the limousine with Karen and Megan, Liam was feeling glad that he finally got divorced, even though it didn't show on his face. He hoped to never see the Lopez's faces again, for at least a year. He felt completely free now, no Erin to bother him. Now he could be in a relationship if he wanted to, without being afraid of getting a bad reputation.Erin on the other hand, was neither sad nor happy after getting divorced from Liam. "If you ask me, I would say you're regretting your decision." Iris mumbled as she walked beside Erin, exiting the Courtroom. Surprised by her friend's statement, Erin looked at her and sighed. "Actually no, and I don't think I ever will regret that." She replied nonchalantly. Liam didn't mean anything to her, so it was only reasonable that she divorced him, but that didn't mean she had stopped hating him, she still hated him, and was hoping that one day he would get what he deserves.Approaching the limousine with Liam and Megan, Karen look
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
