When Liam sat down on the conference table, he forced out a smile and looked at everyone, and then he addressed everyone, doing his best to be professional and not look like a shy person to everyone.

An hour later, the meeting was over, and the board members and shareholders left, including his dad and mom, since they had some other things to do.

Mrs. Danvers appointed Amanda as Liam's personal assistant, since he was new to the business world, he needed to have someone by his side, who knew everything when it came to running a company, and according to Mrs. Danvers there was no one better than Amanda. So it was her job to teach him how to run the company.

Amanda showed Liam to his exquisite office. She also showed him the various studios, where movie shoots took place and introduced him to some staff that worked in the building.

    "Where do you think you're going, Liam?" Erin asked, frowning as she looked at Liam's back.The thing she hated the most was being disrespected by nobody, and when Liam was walking away without being dismissed by her, she felt extremely disrespected. After all, Liam was someone she had grown used to controlling, so such behavior from him was not acceptable.Frowning, Liam turned and faced her, and then he sighed helplessly, as he replied. "I'm going home." His voice sounded serious this time, not like how he used to talk to her when he was afraid of her and her family, now he was free."I didn't say you could leave, did I? Or have you forgotten your place?" Erin coldly asked. She had to convince her family that her and Liam were happily married, so she was not going to let him disappear again."So this is the contract husband you were telling me about?" Iris suddenly asked that, taking a step towards him, she examined Liam from head to toe.It was only when Erin said his name that she

    Liam instructed his butler to drop him off near the gate of the Lopez mansion, he didn't want the Lopez's finding out that he was now rich, so he decided it was best to walk on foot. Just to make sure they weren't going to suspect him of being rich, he even wore cheap clothes.When Liam approached the gate, he was expecting the guards to stop him from passing through the gate, into the Lopez yard, but to his surprise, they just shot him dirty looks but didn't stop him from entering the yard. The reason they didn't stop him from entering the yard was because Erin ordered them to let him inside the yard.Walking to the front porch, Liam hesitated for a second, before he finally rang the doorbell to the Lopez mansion.Looking around the place, he was reminded of just how much he hated the place, he had so many bad memories about this place. And he had no intention of coming back to the mansion, but he had to come anyway, cause if he refused that would be a breach of the marriage contract

    Liam was about to reply to Xavier's question, but Erin beat him to it, "What do you mean, by, 'what is he doing here?' He is my husband and so he has every right to be here," Erin seriously said, walking towards Liam and holding his hand. She turned and looked at her mother, and then she briefly looked at Xavier. They both had hostile stares as they looked at Liam who was nonchalantly standing next to her.Even though she didn't like Liam for some reasons, she had to pretend to be in love with him tonight, and to make people believe her, she was going to have to defend him from her family members, and take his side on everything."You, shameless bastard, why did you come back here?" Xavier asked coldly."I guess, he couldn't live on the streets, and so he decided to come back here... shameless." Mrs. Lopez snorted."Okay, mom stop it." Erin said. Sighing, she glanced at Liam before looking at her mom, "Shall we go? Unless, you want grandfather to scold all of us." Erin said to her mom

    After threatening him. Silence fell between them once more, this time there was silence until they arrived at Erin's grandfather's mansion, where the party was taking place.The mansion was decorated luxuriously, from top to bottom, beautiful chandeliers with shimmering lights hung up on the ceilings. It was expected as Mr. Miguel Lopez had thrown a party to celebrate his recent successes, and also to show off to the other first class families in the city that he was now doing business with the Danvers, whom he had just signed a collaboration contract worth billions of dollars with.Signing a collaboration contract with the Danver's was one of the few ways to reach the top of the pyramid in the city, and the Danvers rarely collaborated, so the collaboration was very worthy of showing off to his friends, as that would prove that the Lopez family was on another level.Inside the mansion, various people dressed in luxurious clothes were having conversations and lightly laughing while si

    'Shameless, liar, thief, he is all of it.' Erin thought to herself as she walked away from Liam.Liam told her that he was the new CEO of Multiversal studios, and knowing what a loser he was, she assumed it was a pathetic lie. After all, he was unable to get for a while, and then suddenly he became a CEO? She was not believing that.Liam was still standing on the same spot with a frown on his face. He thought she would believe him, but Instead she didn't. 'Well, I guess i have to show it and not tell.' Liam thought to himself.Just then Erin's grandmother walked up to him. And she scowled at him, looking at him from head to toe. She had hoped by now, this useless man would divorce her granddaughter, so that someone worthy could marry her. But that idiot was still with her, and she just wished Erin could divorce him at once."Good evening ma'am." Liam greeted her politely although he knew he was only going to get an insult from her. Well, It's what the Lopez's were good at."Useless b

    Erin was so angry at Liam, that she ended up slapping him across the face, so hard that she left a red handprint on Liam's cheeks.Shocked, Liam dropped the serving tray in his hands and touched his cheek which was in a lot of pain . The fact that Erin just slapped him for doing something that her family members told him to, irritated Liam so much."Don't ever do that again!" Liam warned, looking at her coldly, and then he turned And walked out of the kitchen leaving her standing in the kitchen with an emotio innless gaze. It had become her habit to slap him when she was mad, and he didn't like it at all. She always did that, it was like she enjoyed somehow.Liam walked out of the kitchen, and exited the mansion. He needed some fresh air, and somewhere quiet to surpress his emotion's. And the only quite place he could think of going was the small house, that was on the other side of the mansion. Only if his parents didn't insist on not letting him get divorced from Erin, then he would

    Alex practiced martial arts, Liam, however, didn't look like he practiced any, and so Drew and his friend Alex expected a one sided fight to take place inside the small house. With them beating Liam to a pulp of course. After all Liam didn't look like a fighter, he looked so soft, like someone who had never been in a fight before.Alex stepped forward and threw a fist at Liams face with all his mighty, and he was sure he was going to connect his fist with Liam's face, but what happened was shocking, as Liam easily dodged his attack and counter attacked with a very powerful blow to Alex's jaw causing him to stagger back, a teeth fell from his mouth to the ground, shocking both Drew and alex. Liam didn't stop there though, he continued his assault by launching a powerful kick on Alex's ribs, which sent him crashing on a wooden table on the other side of the room, the table broke on Alex's impact, and he instantly fainted.Eversince Liam found out that he was a rich heir, his butler had

    Liam knew Erin better to know that even if he refused to leave with her, it was going to be pointless, so he just got in Erin's car, and they drove off. 'Always trying to control my life this one.' Liam thought to himself. Erin acted like she owned him or something.On their way home, Erin kept thinking about how Iris was right, Liam was indeed having a sexual relationship with another woman, and she felt disrespected by him. But she didn't want to confront him, because Liam would have taken it the wrong way, he would think she was jealous. And she didn't want to look like that. After all she was not jealous, right?The ride back home was the quietest one. With none of them saying a word, it looked like everyones was lost in their own thoughts.Minutes later, they arrived at the Lopez mansion. Erin turned off the car's engine, and then she glanced at Liam who was sitting beside her. "You did well, and for that, I'll give you the rolls Royce, as promised." Erin said, this time in a n

    "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

    Liam hurried through the hospital's automatic doors, the sound of his footsteps echoing in the air. His facial expression was a mask of worry. Beside him were Cara, Luke, and Megan, each of them having insisted on accompanying him after hearing about Elena’s accident. But their reasons were different. They weren’t there for Elena, they were there for him in this tough time. Cara and Luke didn’t know Elena at all to care, and Megan, though concerned, had no real affection for Elena due to her cunning and manipulative ways. The only reason Megan might feel a hint of worry now was because Elena was carrying Liam’s child, the baby that was family to her.Nonetheless, their presence was a comfort to Liam, though it did little to ease the anxiety within him. The doctor hadn’t been very clear on Elena’s condition over the phone, and Liam couldn’t get rid of the fear that something terrible had happened. He didn’t want to lose his child, especially not before he’d even had the chance to me

    Nathan was seated down, contemplating what he had done, when his phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out, glancing at the screen before bringing it to his ear. The voice on the other end was chilling and unemotional.“It’s done,” the man reported, his tone carrying a finality that made Nathan feel like something had twisted deep inside him, “We took care of her, just like you wanted.”Nathan didn’t respond immediately. His gaze drifted to the dull, worn-down walls of the small apartment, the silence around him feeling suddenly oppressive. He’d thought this would bring him relief, some sense of satisfaction. But instead, his chest felt nothing but heartache, guit, sadness, a sick ache building as he gripped the phone tighter.He swallowed, his expression cold and voice barely above a whisper as he replied. “Are you sure?” he asked, he was feeling bad. Nonetheless he was still hoping that they had truly done their job and took care of Elena, “You made certain she couldn’t survive?”

    The midday sun beat down on her, as Elena exited the apartment she lived in and walked to her car. She settled into the driver’s seat, feeling the intensity of the heat radiating from the sidewalk outside. She adjusted her sunglasses and took a slow, calming breath, enjoying the cool blast of air conditioning as it began to ease the uncomfortable warmth.Then she inserted the key in the ignition. Turning the key she fully expected the engine to roar to life. But instead, it gave a weak sputter and fell silent. “Oh, come on!” she muttered, frustration in her voice and in her tone as she tried again. This time, the engine barely sputtered before quitting completely, leaving an uneasy silence around her. “This can't be happening right now.” She mumbled, pushing herself back against the car seat as she pulled a strand of hair from her face.She glanced around, almost embarrassed, as if someone might witness her struggle with the aging car. It felt like a cruel reminder of everything she’d
