The time spent with the Griffin family had been enjoyable. Liam felt grateful for the chance to acquaint himself with the family into which his sister might soon marry.As the members of the Griffin family prepared to depart, Liam and Megan bid them farewell. Liam walked back inside the manor, and sat down on the sofa in the living room, His gaze wandered toward the television, thoughts of the day's interactions swirling in his mind. He wondered what Sheila was up to. She had sent Natalie to fetch him, and usually when that happens, it always means she wants something from him. But whatever it is Sheila was after, Liam was not interested in helping her get it. While he was grateful for her help in taking down Mr Clark, that didn't mean he wanted to have a full blown alliance with her. If he were to have an alliance with a Mafia boss like her, he feared that his reputation would be ruined, along with that of the whole Danvers consortium. The mere thought of the rumors that might ci
Isabella nodded in confirmation. "Yeah," she affirmed, "And you won't believe how much he has changed." She was still somewhat astonished by Liam's transformation. She remembered how he looked and dressed back in college, and now, he seemed like an entirely different person. She was genuinely pleased and proud that his life was on an upswing. However, a sense of curiosity tinged her thoughts. What was Liam doing in the company of the Danvers? Did he have a connection or work with them in some way? These questions flickered in her mind, sparking a silent wonder.As Madison and Isabella continued to have a lively conversation, catching up with each other's lives. The sound of footsteps approaching them, had them draw their attention to look in the direction of the footsteps. As they glanced towards the entrance, they spotted a man walking inside the house. The man was a tall and muscular middle aged man, he looked like was in his Forties. The middle aged man was Madison and Isabella
Leaving Liam and Emily in the living room, Megan walked up the stairs to her bedroom to get ready for her night out with Emily. Emily couldn't help but admire the opulence and luxury items inside the Danvers manor. 'I can't believe I'm here again, after all these years.' She thought to herself as she walked to a sofa.Emily sat down on the couch next to Liam, a cunning smile playing at the corners of her lips. She had an agenda, and tonight was just the beginning of her devious plans. As the conversation flowed between them, she subtly steered it in a particular direction, wanting to get some information about Liam's family."So, Liam," she began, her tone friendly but with an underlying intent, "I've noticed how close you and Megan are. It's admirable, the sibling bond you two share."Liam nodded. He had a proud look in his eyes as her replied, "Yes, I'm proud of our bond, she means the world to me." He was glad to have Megan in his life, and he cherished the deep connection he sha
Regardless of the motive, or who had sent him the invitation Liam decided to get ready and attend the party. He needed answers, and perhaps this event would provide some clarity. With those thoughts in mind, Liam stood up and made his way to his bedroom.About 30 minutes later, Liam stood in front of the full-length mirror in his bedroom, making the final adjustments to his suit. The deep navy fabric accentuated his tall, athletic frame, and the crisp white shirt beneath it added a touch of sophistication. He straightened his tie, ensuring it lay perfectly against his shirt. Taking deep breath to ready himself for whatever awaited him at this mysterious birthday party, he glanced at his reflection once again, and he approved of how he looked. He grabbed his phone and wallet and tucked them neatly into the inner pockets of his suit jacket before making his way out of his bedroom. As he walked in the hallway, he ran into James, his butler, who was waiting for him."Sir, the car is
Madison was taken aback by the fact that Liam had figured out about her background. Something she had wanted to keep a secret from him. "How did you find out?" She asked. Liam replied nonchalantly, "When I received an invitation from someone named Salvatore Riley, I had my suspicions, because you both share the same last name." Liam replied, and he had a lot of questions to ask Madison. He wanted to know from her the identity of the person who was after the ring. Hopefully when he asks her she was not going to try and dodge the question or lie to him.Madison couldn't help but feel concerned about Liam, after hearing that her dad was the one who had invited him over. She knew what type of person her father was. He must have an evil motive behind inviting Liam over. And she was worried about Liam. "Have you met with him already?" She asked out of curiosity."No." Liam replied casually as he sipped on his cocktail.Madison looked him in the eye, and said, "Great, I think you keep thing
"I'm guessing, you're the one sending those assassins?" Liam asked, his expression cold. He already knew it, but he had asked because he wanted to hear Salvatore admit it. However, to his disappointment, Salvatore's answer was not what he had expected. "No. If I did that you wouldn't be standing here." He said his tone was threatening. And he was right about not sending assassin's against Liam, because the only person he had sent after Liam was Vin, his trusted right hand man. So the person who had sent the assassin's after Liam, was someone else. Yet another annoying mystery for Liam.Liam's intuition told him that Salvatore might indeed be telling the truth about not orchestrating the assassination attempts. Salvatore's demeanor appeared straightforward, and a nagging sense inside Liam suggested that if Salvatore were truly behind the assassins, he wouldn't deny it outright. Despite the uncertainty of the situation, Liam's instincts were beginning to lean toward believing Salvatore
The impact was shocking and powerful. Vin was caught off guard, and Liam's kick connected with astonishing force, sending him sprawling to the floor, instantly falling unconscious. The entire thing unfolded so quickly that Salvatore could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. He stood there, visibly taken aback by Liam's astonishing agility and combat skill set, surprised that Liam had dispatched his skillful right-hand man with such ease.As Liam's gaze shifted from the unconscious Vin to Salvatore, the room seemed to shrink in the Mafia boss's eyes. It was just the two of them, and Salvatore's heart raced. He realized he had no hired muscle to shield him, and the animosity in Liam's eyes was evident. Liam's icy stare sent a chill down Salvatore's spine, he didn't know what Liam was gonna do next. Was he going to attack him? Liam's expression gave off, a menacing intensity that Salvatore had never encountered before . Fear crept over him, but he managed to compose himself as h
Liam retrieved the fallen ring from the floor, his gaze fixated on it as he examined it closely. The sheer astonishment lingered in his mind; it had inexplicably slipped off his finger, when he least expected it, and he had tried to get it off his finger multiple times before , but it had always refused. Liam didn't know what to do with it, the ring's mysterious behavior left him utterly perplexed. He wondered if he should put it back on, or do what he had always wanted to do for a long time: Getting rid of it. Liam quickly dismissed the second option, reminding himself that the ring was a family heirloom, and it was his duty now to protect it.But still, Liam was not about to put the ring back on, in fear that it might never come off his finger again. He had another idea, he walked back to his bedroom, grabbed his wallet on the dresser and carefully pressed the ring inside, ensuring it was safe.With the ring finally put away, Liam let out a sigh, as he walked back to the bathroom.
