Elena nodded. She could also relate to Emily. Just like Emily, her and Nathan's childhoods were notnice, all because of the Danvers. Elena sighed, deciding to tell the reason why she and her brother were pursuing revenge. Years ago, Elena's father, Mr. Fred Bennett, served as the CEO within one of the Danvers consortium's companies, entrusted with significant responsibilities. He was a successful CEO with innovative ideas, and under his leadership, the company had reached new heights.However, a sinister secret lay beneath his polished façade. He had been embezzling millions from the corporation for years. Using the money he had embezzled, Fred Bennett had even started his own company When Mr. Danvers uncovered this betrayal, he didn't hesitate to terminate Mr. Bennett's employment and turn him over to the authorities. Mr. Bennett was sentenced to prison, and the harsh conditions of his incarceration ultimately led to his untimely demise. For Elena and Nathan, the blame for their f
After Karen left Liam's bedroom. Liam sat down on the bed, the kiss he had shared with her still replaying in his mind. Confusion and mixed emotions swirled in his mind. He didn't know what to think of it. Liam decided to brush the thoughts away, at least for the moment.At the same time as he was seated on the bed, the sound of his cellphone got his attention. Taking out the cellphone he glanced at the caller and saw it was his dad calling. "Hey dad."Liam said the moment he pressed the phone to his ear."Hey son, how have you been?" Mr Danvers asked casually over the phone."I'm doing great." Liam replied, his tone steady despite the uneasiness that was building inside him. It was unusual for his dad to call him at this hour, so that made him worried thinking maybe something had happened at the hospital. "Dad, is everything alright." His dad let out a sigh, and then he started explaining to him what had happened at the hospital. "What? When did that happen?" Liam asked, he couldn'
Isabella's surprise shifted to defensiveness, and a hint of annoyance was visible in her eyes. Was Liam trying to accuse her of something?"Why would I have information about such an incident?" Isabella asked. She was aware that Mr Danvers was attacked by someone who was after his life, but that's all she knew. So she didn't understand why Liam had come to her asking if she had information.Given her familial connections to Don Salvatore, it was only natural and understandable that Liam would have suspicions towards Isabella. She was, after all, the daughter of a powerful mafia figure, who also happened to be in bad terms with Liam over the ring. Her presence at the Danvers hospital, considering her background, only added to the intrigue and raised reasonable questions about her involvement in the situation.Liam's voice remained steady but stern. "I don't want to make baseless accusations, Isabella, but I can't help but be suspicious. You work at the hospital, and you also happen to
Liam was suspecting Isabella, thinking her father Don Salvatore was responsible for the attack on Mr Danvers life, and she must have played a part in it. But he didn't have any evidence, so he wasn't too sure about that. He also realized that someone else might have been responsible. After all, Don Salvatore wasn't the only enemy he had.Liam focused his attention on trying to find out who the woman was, and what she looked like. As the surveillance operator checked the outside CCTV cameras, he pulled up footage. And in the footage, Liam saw a black limousine parked outside the hospital, and the same woman exited the car, walking inside the hospital.Liam's eyes narrowed in on the mysterious assailant. He knew that this woman was the key to understanding what had happened. Who was she working for?"Can you zoom in on her face?" Liam asked the surveillance operator, a sense of urgency in his voice.The operator skillfully zoomed in on the image, but still her face couldn't be seen as
Less than 30 minutes later, Liam was in the dining room, having dinner with Megan, Karen and Mr Maxwell's family. As they had dinner, there was an awkward silence between Karen and Liam who had sat beside each other. The tension between them was evident in their interactions which were limited to polite but brief exchanges. Usually Liam and Karen would be engaged in conversation's about their jobs during dinner or breakfast, but this time it was different, the atmosphere was just too awkward for the two of them, they could barely look at each other.Karen stole quick glance at Liam, as she thought to herself, "Does he regret that we kissed so much." She wondered. She wished she could assure him that she liked the fact that he kissed her, but she was too nervous to talk about it with him.Liam couldn't help but regret the impulsive kiss he had shared with Karen. As they sat in awkward silence, he wished he could turn back time and erase that moment, as it had added an uncomfortable l
The woman glanced back at her two colleagues and asked in a casual tone, "Any of you want some coffee?"Adriana declined, raising her hand in a polite gesture, while the man, attempting to get flirtatious with her, accepted with a playful grin. "I'd love some coffee, babe," he quipped smugly. However, the woman clearly did not like being called 'Babe' by him, and it was evident in her response. Her gaze turned cold, and she snapped, "Make your own damn coffee, George!" And she walked away from the machine. Josh rolled his eyes as he raised his hands in defense, "Okay. I was just trying to make conversation geez." Saying that he walked over to the coffee machine and pulled himself some coffee. After his cup was filled he walked back to where Adriana and the woman were standing. Adriana looked at him as she said, "George, tomorrow you start." Sipping on his coffee, George walked to a sofa and sat down. "I know." He said in a frustrated tone. Taking a sip of his coffee, he continued,
As Liam finished reading the information Adriana had sent him, he had a serious look on his face. Now he knew exactly who was targeting his family, and he couldn't help but feel bad that Elena turned out to be an Enemy. Liam sat in contemplation, his mind racing as he considered how to approach this delicate situation. On one hand, he wanted to confront the Bennets and end this once and for all, but he wasn't sure that would be enough. On the other hand, he thought about the possibility of quietly gathering evidence against them, ensuring they faced justice without them knowing.After a deep inner debate, an idea struck him. He decided that he would teach the Bennets a lesson they wouldn't forget. Instead of a direct confrontation, he would use his vast influence and resources to make their business ventures crumble, ultimately bankrupting them. It was a lstrategic move that would serve as both retribution and a warning to those who dared threaten his family.Liam knew that merely ba
Liam returned home after a long day at work. As the Rolls Royce arrived at the Danvers manor and he hopped out of the car, Karen coincidentally was exiting her car at the same time.When Liam noticed her, he greeted her, "Hey." He shut the car door and approached her.Karen smiled warmly as she locked the car door and turned towards him, "Hey, Liam" She couldn't help but blush as she recalled what had transpired between them the other day. Liam also remembered the passionate kiss they shared, causing him to blush slightly. He felt a bit awkward, not sure how to start a regular conversation with her. "So, um… how was your day?" he asked, trying to break the ice."It was alright. The company is doing well. What about you?" Karen inquired as they walked together into the manor.Liam looked at her, a hint of nervousness in his eyes, and decided to address the elephant in the room. "Hey, Karen, listen… about the kiss."Karen stopped Liam before he could continue, and she smiled at him rea
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. If you liked this novel, I encourage you to check out my new book, The Invisible Heir. I'm confident you'll enjoy it. Lastly, there's a possibility I might write another book in the same universe as billionaire son in-law, but I can't make any promises. But if I did, Liam Danvers and other familiar characters might make an appearance. Thank you again for your support. Best regards.
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
