As Lana and Liam settled into his office, they exchanged a few casual remarks to catch up with each other's lives. Despite their history as ex-boyfriend and girlfriend, a relationship that didn't end on the best of terms, their conversation now felt remarkably like that of two close friends reconnecting."So, how is work?" Lana asked, her eyes fixed on Liam as he organized some documents on his desk."It can get exhausting sometimes," Liam replied nonchalantly, taking his eyes off the documents and meeting her gaze, "The usual challenges, you know. But overall, not too bad. And what about you?"Lana leaned back in her chair, letting out a small sigh. "Oh, you know how it is. Busy as ever, but I love it, so I can't complain.""Nice," Liam nodded approvingly."Oh, and I wanted to invite you. My brother's birthday is coming up, it would be nice if you could come." Lana said. "You mean, your brother Scott?" Liam asked, remembering his past encounters with Scott, which had been less than
Liam couldn't help but feel angry at Mrs Lopez. And his anger was justifiable, seeing as she was defending someone who was trying to harm him and his sister. Although Mr Rodrigo didn't have any involvement in his parents death, he was still a part of the organization that was plotting against him and his sister. And Liam also remembered how Mr Rodrigo had helped Mr Clark kidnap his sister, all in an attempt to annex the Danvers empire. And that was something Liam didn't feel like forgiving, he wanted everyone who had crossed his family to face the consequences, and that included Mr Rodrigo Lopez. "L- Liam, are you there?" Mrs Olivia Lopez asked worriedly.Liam let out a soft sigh as he kindly replied to Mrs Olivia Lopez. "I'm sorry I can't help with what you want?" "Liam please, you've got to understand." Mrs Olivia Lopez continued pleading, hoping that Liam would change his mind and help Mr Rodrigo get out of jail. Liam audibly sighed again, deeply contemplating how to respond res
Realising that Erin was probably calling to ask him to get her grandfather out of jail, Liam sighed annoyedly, disliking her courage to call his phone at such a late hour and disturb his sleep, all because she wanted to talk about her grandfather, who was in jail because of the crimes he surely committed. Liam stayed quiet as he waited for Erin to start explaining why she had called him at this time. But as Liam waited for her to say something, she just stayed quiet, and he found the lack of communication frustrating. Meanwhile, at Erin's House, she sat on her bed, holding her cellphone to her ear as she struggled to find the right words to begin the conversation with Liam. "Hey, are you there?" she asked casually."Yes, what do you want?" Liam asked, his tone was icy cold. Erin frowned at his tone. One thing she hated about Liam was how cold he was towards her. "We need to talk about something." Erin said casually.Although she didn't enjoy talking to Liam, she didn't have many o
Liam was taken aback by Erin's words, uncertain about the nature of her proposition. Curiosity mixed with suspicion as he wondered what Erin was talking about. And how could it possibly benefit him and Megan.Liam glared at Erin, who had taken a seat in his office, feeling increasingly irritated with every passing moment. He was annoyed by the sight of her sitting in his chair, as if she had some right to be there. However, he decided to put aside the urge to kick her out for now. Instead, his curiosity got the better of him, and he wanted to know what she was talking about.Liam wondered what Erin's intentions were. Was she trying to convince him to help her get her grandfather out of jail through some sort of negotiation? It was hard to understand her, since she was not clear about some things."What are you talking about?" Liam asked, his tone laced with suspicion and annoyance. Erin, seemingly undisturbed by his annoyed reaction, responded casually, "Don't worry, I'll reveal ever
Liam was left absolutely stunned by Erin's words. What on earth was she trying to accomplish, by suggesting that his parents were still alive? Was she intentionally toying with his emotions? The weight of confusion and conflicting emotions swirled through Liam's mind, leaving him overwhelmed. His fists involuntarily clenched, revealing the inner turmoil he was experiencing. Given Erin's history of manipulation, this revelation felt like yet another one of her calculated moves. Of course it was just another one of her calculated moves! Because there was no way Liam's parents were still alive! Liam and Megan had even been to their parents' funeral, so there was no way they would be alive. And for Erin to suggest that they were alive, when they clearly weren't, just showed what kind of a person she was, and it angered Liam."Oh, I see. You don't believe me do you?" Erin could see through Liam's eyes that he didn't believe what she was saying. And it was understandable, after all, if she
Liam was having a hard time believing Erin, but at the same time, he was also struggling to not believe her because he was wishing for it to be all true. There was nothing he wouldn't do, or give to see his parents once again. Liam glanced at Erin. He had a lot of questions to ask her, to determine if she was telling the truth or not. But If they were alive, then how is that even possible? Because he, his sister believed and knew that their parents had passed away after a tragic accident. They had even attended the funeral.Erin was growing increasingly frustrated with Liam's reluctance. Despite her repeatedly assuring him honestly, he remained hesitant to believe her, and it was getting on Erin's nerves. If she didn't need his help so much, she wouldn't even bother helping him."Why, don't we discuss this further while we make our way to the hospital?" Hiding her growing irritation Erin said. She hoped that this change of scenery would help ease the tension between them."Hospital..
With Mrs Danvers safely away from the wreckage, Erin's heart raced as she sprinted back to her Porsche. She flung open the car door and grabbed her cell phone, fingers trembling as she prepared to dial 911. The urgency of the situation weighed heavy on her, the knowledge that every second counted pushed her to act quickly.But just as she was about to dial the number, a distant wail of sirens reached her ears. The sound grew louder, echoing through her ears.Erin paused, the phone still in her hand, as the emergency vehicles came to a stop, A rush sense of relief swept over her.*Present*After Erin was done telling Liam about the events, she had a smug smile playing at the corners of her lips. She seemed to expect gratitude from Liam for what she believed was a heroic act of saving his parents. However, to her disappointment, Liam's reaction wasn't what she had anticipated. Rather than being filled with gratitude, he seemed to be more sceptical than ever about her story. Her tale of
Approaching the reception desk, Erin took out her ID card and handed it to the receptionists, who took it and swiped it on the machine. Erin had to give her ID to the hospital receptionist as part of the enhanced security measures implemented due to the fact that two very important people were admitted at the hospital. It was important to keep them safe, so the hospital was taking extra precautions to verify the identity of all visitors and ensure their protection.The receptionist was taking time to check the ID, and apparently it annoyed Erin. She rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Where is the other receptionist? The other one is faster at this and doesn't take up too much of my time." She said, her annoyance visible in her tone.The receptionist who was clearly new to the job, looked up at Erin with an apologetic gaze, she seemed flustered and didn't know what to say. "I'm very sorry, Ms Erin, I'm still learning." Erin rolled her eyes and let out a sigh, "Well, hurry up, I don't have
