"She has been waiting for you to be ready for marriage?" Mrs. Wolfe reminded Liam, Mrs. Wolfe knew she couldn't force Liam to marry Karen but she could persuade him and that's what she was trying to do. Honestly, Madame Wolfe didn't see Liam as husband material and he was not worthy of her daughter for some reason, and if it wasn't for the situation her family was in, she wouldn't be trying to persuade him to marry her daughter, but it was the only way to save her family.Her family used to be the second most wealthiest family after the Danvers in the country, but lately, that was slowly changing as her family was suddenly going bankrupt, and they were unable to pay debts owed to the bank."She has grown attached to your family and she doesn't even want to go back home." Mrs. Wolfe said in a sad tone, trying to convince Liam to just agree, and solve all their problems.A slight sense of guilt hit Liam and he lowered his gaze. Being reminded that Karen had feelings for him made him fee
Liam couldn't deny Lana, so he agreed to attend the party she had thrown for whatever reason. After she left, Liam walked inside the manor, wondering what he was going to wear to the party. He was feeling like dressing in a way that would show people how rich he was, to avoid them mistaking him for an average man, as always, he was tired of that.As Liam was walking in the hallway, making his way to his room, he passed by Karen's Room and stopped for a moment. As he was wondering if he should ask her to help him pick out the outfits to wear to the party. After thinking about it for a few minutes, Liam came to a decision, he walked towards her Room door. Raising his hand to knock, he was startled when the door suddenly opened., and Karen was standing at the door. She was also surprised to see Liam standing at her Room door. What did he want? Liam looked at Karen, and judging by the way she was dressed, he could tell that she might be going somewhere, as she was dressed extra elegan
Xavier, just like everyone else, was angry with Erin for divorcing Erin, even when they had all asked her to not do it. And in the heat of the moment, he called Erin an Idiot which shocked everyone around the dining table. They couldn't believe their ears. Hearing what her brother said, Erin stopped in her tracks, she couldn't believe that her brother had just insulted her, by calling her an idiot. Turning around to face him, she glared at him, "What did you just say?" She asked coldly. It was the first time she was being called an idiot by someone. Xavier stayed quiet, lowering his gaze in shame, cursing at himself for saying that out loud. He didn't mean to say it out loud, it was just that he was very annoyed with her when he heard her say that they were wasting her time.After Xavier called Erin an idiot, everyone's attention was on the two of them, wondering how Erin was going to react to Xavier's blunt insult. They knew Xavier was in trouble the moment the words flew out of hi
Both Liam and Lana didn't know how to answer Emily's question. They didn't know what their relationship was at that moment so they didn't know what to say.Liam looked at Lana for a moment, before shifting his gaze to Emily and replying. "We are friends." He sounded slightly hesitant, it was like he wasn't sure if they were friends or not. Of course he wasn't sure, the two of them weren't exactly friends. Friends didn't do the things they did a few hours ago, when Lana came to his house. The two of them kissed, and that meant something to Liam.Lana had hesitated to reply, as she wanted Liam to be the one who replied to Emily, and just as she wanted, Liam was the one who answered Emily, it was just that she was disappointed with his answer.Emily nodded with a soft smile. "Okay." She knew something was up between Liam and Lana, seeing as they were hesitant to reply to her question, but she didn't want to ask about that. At that same time, Emily felt someone put a hand on her shoulder
Megan was surprised when she found her first cousin once removed in the study, going through a bunch of files on the desk. She wondered what he was doing there?"What are you doing?" Megan asked, looking at Bradford with a puzzled and suspicions gaze. Seeing Bradford in the study just confirmed her doubt that he was up to good.Startled by Megan's entrance, Bradford looked at her with a surprised look, and he immediately hid the document on his hand so that Megan doesn't see, and then he nervously cracked a smile at her. "Hi, Megan, what are you doing here… this late?" He asked trying to change the topic. He was fearing being exposed at the moment, if he were to he exposed he would lose everything including his life.Megan just stared at him with a suspicious gaze, she could tell that he was going through the documents on the desk."Do you need something here?" She asked coldly. She couldn't quite understand what he was looking for in the study.Bradford shook his head slightly, and he
The attention he was getting and the people's murmurs after he had kissed Lana in Infront of them were really making Liam feel uncomfortable, and he didn't know how to react, so he tried his best to avoid their gazes.Noticing that Lana held his hand to make him get rid of the shame, knowing that it must be uncomfortable for him to have everyone's eyes on him. She was aware of how shy Liam got sometimes. "Lana, who is that?" One of the guests, a redhead asked nonchalantly as she looked at Liam, Lana, and Phil. Everyone was very surprised to see Lana kissing a man in Infront of Phil, and they were all suspecting that she was trying to make him jealous by kissing someone In Front of him.And indeed, Lana was kind of using Liam, so that Phil would think she was dating him and stop bothering her like always. But that didn't mean that she didn't like him.Phil on the other hand was so jealous and so angry, that he couldn't control himself from saying something to both Liam and Lana, just
'And now I'm regretting coming here.' Liam thought to himself, but he didn't want to leave, because he wanted to make Scott and the others believe that he and Lana were dating so that Scott or Phil would stop bothering her.Lana had been quiet for quite some time, but after Scott told Liam to leave she decided to say something. "No, this is my house, so how about you and Phil leave?" Lana asked, reaching for Liam's hand and holding it, and then she looked at her brother with a serious expression. "Liam is my boyfriend and he is not leaving. And for your information, he is not what you think he is. He is the CEO of multiversal studios. And he is also a multi-trillionaire…, for those of you who don't know." Lana said nonchalantly. She knew Liam didn't want people to know his true identity but telling them the truth was the only way to make them show him the respect he deserved.Hearing what Lana said, Scott, Phil, and the guests were shocked, and some of them didn't believe her words.D
It was another day. The day after Liam spent the night at Lana's house. The morning light hit Liam's face, making him stir. Groaning annoyedly, he slowly opened his eyes and yawned as he rubbed his eyes with his hand, he was still feeling tired even after just coming from sleep. Well, that was expected as he barely slept at all.Stretching, Liam turned on the bed and he found himself staring at a ceiling that wasn't familiar to his eyes, but that didn't surprise him. He knew he was in Lana's house and her bed.As the memories about the previous night came back, Liam blushed, as he darted his eyes towards the other side of the bed and saw her sleeping beside him, a faint smile formed on his face as he remembered everything that happened between him and Lana the previous night. He was slightly drunk then, but he could still remember almost everything that happened the previous night. He had gotten intimate with someone for the first time, and he was happy about it. Glancing at Lana o
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
