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.
Liam sat in his office, the soft hum of his computer filling the room as he immersed himself in his work. The events of that morning seemed like a distant memory as he focused on the complicated details of a project spread out before him. His desk was a landscape of charts, reports, and a laptop screen displaying complex data.He had been at it for hours now. The rhythmic tapping of his keyboard and the occasional sip of coffee were the only sounds in the room.Outside his office window, the city buzzed with its usual energy. The rhythmic sounds of car horns and distant sirens served as a constant reminder of the world beyond his office walls. Liam grabbed a document from the desk, it was a financial report. As he attentively reviewed the financial report, his phone buzzed with a new message. He picked it up and saw a notification from Sheila. The message read, 'Lets meet up now!'Liam sighed in exasperation, he had forgotten that he had promised to meet up with Sheila and talk to he
Sheila being a little too nice was kind of creeping Liam out, because that was just so unlike her. Liam asked Sheila why she had invited him over.Sheila gestured for Liam to take a seat beside her, her inviting tone luring him in. "Why don't you sit down?" She offered, "Would you like anything to drink?" she asked. Liam shook his head. "No, I'm good." He responded as he settled nto the plush chair, the comfort of the seat contrasting with the tension that seemed to hang in the air.He couldn't help but wonder about Sheila's choice of such an intimate setting for their meeting, and her flirtatious demeanor had left him somewhat off-kilter. As he sank into the chair, Liam decided it was time to address the obvious. "Alright, shall we get to the point?" he inquired.Leaning in closer, Sheila lowered her voice to a secretive whisper. "Liam, darling, I've asked you here for a very specific reason. I need something from you, something only you can provide."Liam raised an eyebrow, his cur
