Seated in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce on their way home, Liam and Karen were enveloped in a contemplative silence ever since the left the hospital. The conversation he had just had with Mrs Danvers about relationships continued to occupy Liam's thoughts. And he couldn't say that he was not interested in being in a relationship with Karen, because that would be lying. As annoying and strange as it was to him, he was growing attracted to Karen.Liam found himself stealing glances at Karen, wondering if she shared his interest in pursuing a romantic relationship. He remembered how she used to have romantic feelings for him, but back then he chose to ignore them as he had just come out of a bad marriage with Erin, and also he didn't share the same feelings as she did at the time. However, now he believed he did have feelings for her, and he was wondering if she would be interested.Liam was taken aback by the sudden change in his feelings towards Karen. He had always seen her as not
The room erupted into chaos, the figure's hostile approach undone by Liam's sudden awareness. Furniture crashed, and the two figures engaged in a high-stakes dance of evasion and attack. Liam's instincts kicked in, fueled by the adrenaline coursing through his veins.It was evident that the assassin was a professional, with a clear intent to kill. Liam knew he had to be at his best if he was going to come out on top in a confrontation against him.The assassin's blade sliced through the air, aimed at Liam with deadly intent. Reacting with a lot of speed, Liam's instincts took over as he smoothly sidestepped the swing, narrowly avoiding the lethal trajectory of the blade.The assassin was surprised with the way Liam was managing to dodge his attacks. Sure he had heard that Liam was not going to be an easy one, but still he didn't expect him to be this tough. It was like he was fighting someone who was way out of his league.Nevertheless, the assassin remained determined to fulfill his
As the next morning arrived, Liam was still awake staring at his computer screen as he sat on the edge of the bed. A sigh escaped his lips as he finally tore his gaze off the computer screen and looked at his messy room. He stood up and walked to the window.He was still wondering who had hired the assassin that had attacked him a few Hours ago. And the fact that he had no idea about the identity of the person after his life, was a little scary, because now he didn't know what was to happen next.Liam leaned against the window frame, his gaze distant. He realised that the attempt on his life might be a personal vendetta. After all, the assassin went straight to his bedroom and attacked him, when he would have attacked anyone else but himBut, the absence of a lead meant he had no clear path to pursue, and the uncertainty of when the next assassin might be dispatched only amplified his unease."Hey, Liam, can I come in?" A voice at the door jolted Liam from his thoughts.Turning to fa
There was a momentary pause, and then the woman spoke again, her tone filled with displeasure. "You were supposed to eliminate him without a trace. Now we have a problem."I understand, ma'am. I take full responsibility for the failure," the assassin replied, his voice steady despite the tension in the room. The woman's concealed face remained unreadable.The woman was frustrated, even though she didn't show it and all she displayed was coldness and annoyance in her tone. The assassin's incompetence had deeply vexed her. How difficult could it be to eliminate one person? How could the assassin fail at such a seemingly straightforward task? Now she was worried, knowing that Liam was now aware that someone wanted him dead, and obviously he was going to be on high alert, he might even double his security. 'I can't stop now, I'll get my revenge, one way or another.' Meanwhile back at the Danvers manor, Liam had just finished readying himself to leave for the hospital and visit his parent
The noise of the door drew the man's attention. He swiftly concealed the object in his hand, slipping it into his jacket pocket. He turned around to face the two individuals who had entered the room. With an uncomfortable facial expression, he looked at Karen briefly, before his gaze shifted to Liam Liam and the man's eyes met in a tense moment of silence. Liam's mind raced, as he felt the realisation that the man had been doing something suspicious near his mother's bedside. Liam noticed that the man was not a doctor or any of the hospital staff given the clothes he was wearing. With that realisation, suspicion ate at him, and he couldn't ignore the strangeness of the situation."What were you doing? You don't look like a doctor," He asked, his tone skeptical. He couldn't ignore the strangeness of the situation.The man hesitated, his expression unreadable. "I was just checking on her," he replied, his voice composed but lacking conviction.Liam exchanged a wary glance with Karen, h
Getting back to his mom's room, Liam found Karen seated beside her on the bed as she was sleeping. 'Looks like she is in a better condition than earlier.' Liam thought to himself.Karen darted her gaze towards Liam, standing up from her seat as she said. "Where did you just runoff to?" She was curious to learn why he had suddenly left running. "I was searching for the man we found here. He's the reason mom's health got worse all of a sudden, I'm sure of it." Liam replied.Karen couldn't disagree with Liam's statement, knowing it was likely true that the man had something to do with Mrs. Danvers' condition. "So, did you find him?" Karen inquired.Feeling a mixture of frustration and disappointment, Liam sighed. "Unfortunately no, I think he slipped away the moment mom started having her seizures." He replied, "So, how is she doing? What did the doctor say?"Karen replied, her expression softening with compassion as she glanced at Mrs Danvers on the bed, "The doctor said she will be al
The old man's security personnel got back inside the car, and drove away, leaving behind a dead body in the alleyway. The security personnel returned to the car and drove off, abandoning a lifeless body in the alley.The driver, one of the security personnel, glanced back at the old man in the rearview mirror. "Boss, what's the plan now? Our guy didn't finish the job. How are you going to explain this to the higher-ups?" he asked."Focus on driving!" The old man snapped irritably. "As for the task at hand, that's not a concern. I have someone else handling it now."Meanwhile back at the hospital, Liam and Karen had just gotten in a Rolls-Royce, after coming from visiting Mr and Mrs Danvers. As they settled into their seats, Liam leaned back, his thoughts circling back to the assassination attempt he narrowly escaped the previous day. He couldn't help but suspect that the person who targeted him might be the same individual behind the attack on his mother.As he was lost in thought, t
"What can we do for you, boss?" the security guards inquired, their attention shifting to Samuel. As the owner of the restaurant and its manager, Samuel's authority held sway.Megan frowned irritably. And If she had known that the place belonged to that weirdo she wouldn't have stepped foot inside. Being a Danvers she was not used to being in such situations, and she wished she could make the person responsible for putting her in this situation suffer.Turning to Luke Megan said, "Luke, let's go." Giving Samuel one last cold look, Luke turned to Megan and nodded. "Yeah, let's go." But before they could, Samuel instructed his security guards to stop them. He was going to let them leave just like that, especially after Megan had slapped him and humiliated in front of a lot of people. Now he wanted to get back at her and teach her a lesson."Hold up, you two can't leave just yet." Samuel demanded as his security personnel stood in front of Megan and Luke, blocking their way. Samuel hel
Hi everyone, This marks the end of Billionaire Son-in-Law and Liam's journey. I hope you enjoyed the ending and that it met your expectations. If not, I truly apologize. Thank you for following this story to the end. Your support means a lot to me. I'd also like to thank my editor for their continued promotion of the book.

More than 7 years later passed….The Danvers manor was alive with celebration. Rays of sunlight poured through the wide, open windows, bathing the grand hall in golden glow. The warmth of the sun mixed with the light of chandeliers overhead, created a dreamlike ambiance.Balloons of blue, white, and gold floated on the ceiling, their ribbons trailing down. Laughter echoed from every corner of the big mansion. Children’s giggles mixed together with the clatter of plates, the clinking of glasses, and the soft melody of music playing in the background. The air was filled with the scent of vanilla cake and fresh flowers.“Make a wish, sweetheart,” Rachel said softly, parting the little boy infront of her on the head.A child, no older than six, sat in front of a cake, his cheeks turning red and his face glowing with excitement. The flames of the birthday candles reflected in his eyes. He squeezed his eyes shut tight, holding his breath as he thought long and hard about his wish, like it
Meanwhile...Liam, Adriana, Blackthorn, and the others stepped cautiously into a vast, faintly lit corridor. The air was cold despite the fact that they were indoors and there were flames from iron sconces lighting up the long and narrow corridor. “What is this place?” Liam muttered, his gaze scanning the ancient architecture. It wasn’t modern, no electricity or anything. Infact this looked like it was a completely different world, from the one he lived in. It looked like something pulled straight from a medieval times movie.At that moment, the clatter of hundreds of hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor, sharp and growing louder with every second. Heads turned toward the sound, eyes narrowing in readiness.“They know we’re here,” Adriana muttered, stepping forward with purpose. Her stance shifted as she reached over her shoulder, drawing a sleek, double-edged sword from its sheath on her back. The cold steel shined in the faintly lit corridor. Ignoring the gun strapped to her
The large room was faintly lit. The mysterious members of the shadow council were gathered around the throne-like chair where the Supreme Master sat. The chamber had the ghostly stillness of a forgotten era, its design nothing like the modern time. No modern features decorated the space, only stone walls, iron sconces holding bright flames, and a cold floor of dark granite.It felt like a place pulled straight from medieval times. Even the guards by the entrance wore attire resembling that period. The only figure out of place was Mr. Simpson, dressed in a green suit and black shoes, a bug difference to the world around him.Simpson stood before the council, his head lowered as he delivered the news of yet another one of his failures."Liam Danvers has escaped," he announced, his voice casual but cautious. "We– we believe his family played a role in his escape."Silence followed. It was thick. Unforgiving. And scary. Simpson felt a shiver run down his spine, just from anticipating wha
Eventually, they stopped at a large set of double doors. One of the men stepped forward, twisting the handle before pushing them open.Liam's eyes narrowed as he stepped inside. The room was larger than he expected, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the forest below. His eyes scanned the room. His movements slowed when he spotted familiar faces. Adriana, George, and a few other agents from Adriana's organization standing around. Blackthorn was in conversation with Adriana and George, their expression business-like.“Hi, what’s going on?” Liam asked, his gaze wary, calculating.He’d always thought Blackthorn and Adriana’s people didn’t get along. Seeing them together now, standing like allies or partners, didn’t sit right. Suspicion crept into his mind.“Glad you could make it, Danvers,” Blackthorn said with a grin. “I must apologize for the way you got out of prison. But I promise, it was your friend's idea, not mine.”Adriana nodded. “We asked him to break you out. The Shado
"What do you mean he escaped?" Simpson barked into the phone, his grip so tight in anger the phone creaked, like it might break."The station was attacked, sir," the chief of police stammered nervously. "Multiple officers down. By the time we regained control, Danvers was gone."Simpson’s nostrils flared as he slammed his hand on the armrest of his seat in the limousine. He felt a sweat from in his forehead as he thought about how he would explain this to the Shadow council. He didn't want to face their wrath for this. "Then find him and arrest him, I don’t care how—lock down the city if you have to.""Yes, sir. Units are moving now," the officer replied hurriedly.Simpson ended the call with a sharp tap, his gaze hard and unblinking. Edward seated across from him in the limo, couldn't help asking. "What the hell happened?" "Liam Danvers escaped." Edward's eyes shot up in shock. Weren't they just talking to Liam Danvers in the holding cell not even 2 hours ago, so how did this happ
Liam turned slowly and walked back to the cold, hard bench. He lowered himself onto it, letting out a long, controlled exhale before lying down. The cold surface pressed against his back, familiar now after a week in this miserable cell. It was like this place had become his second home, one he’d never asked for. No amount of influence or wealth from his family had been enough to get him out. The courts had refused him bail, and even the chief of police had played along with it. Well the bastard was getting paid by Mr Simpson and the people he was working with, so of course he was going to play along with it. Liam closed his eyes, he was stuck here, with every sign pointing to the fact that he’d be here for a long time. It was suffocating, inescapable. Worse still, the allegations against him were serious enough to warrant a life sentence. The thought stayed at the back of his mind.Liam sat up abruptly, his elbows resting on his knees, as he recalled Simpsons last words as he left
On the other hand, Edwards snickered at Liam's threats, "Still acting tough, huh? I guess it’s true what they say. Pride comes before the fall." He took a step closer, standing shoulder to shoulder with Simpson. "Thing is, Danvers, this fall? It’s a long one. And you? You’ve got no parachute." Simpson leaned into the bar, his eyes filled with cruelty. "You're done for, Danvers, and so is your family's dominance. As you can see, your family isn't as powerful as it used to be. The Simpsons are the new power in town now,” he said with a twisted grin. “And soon, I'll make sure there are no Danvers left. I'll make sure every single last one of you Danvers is wiped off the face of the Earth.” From the way he said it, it sounded like was making a promise to murder his family and he meant it, which made Liam enraged deep down.Liam rose from the bench, slow and deliberate. He walked towards the bars, stopping inches away, his eyes locked onto Simpson's. His calm demeanor had evaporated now,
Days dragged by slowly for Liam. A week had passed, and he was still locked up in the holding cell. His family had done everything in their power to get him out on bail, but they had failed. Despite their immense influence and authority, it seemed they had been overpowered this time by Mr. Simpson and whoever was backing him.Liam wasn't surprised when his family informed him that Mr. Simpson, in collaboration with some mysterious organization, was behind it all, along with Elena and Nathan.The mastermind behind the entire scheme to frame him for these crimes, however, was none other than Elena. She had even devised the plan to have him accused of assaulting Selena, ensuring his reputation was already tarnished before they delivered the final blow.Liam didn’t know how he was going to deal with Elena. She was the mother of his unborn child, but she was also his enemy. It was because of her that he was sitting in this cell, facing serious allegations. He already knew how he would hand
