Hello everyone, thank you for reading the book. Can you tell me your thoughts on the book so far?
Liam was surprised by the arrival of Elena."What brings you here?" he inquired, setting the file on the desk and casting a gaze in her direction.Although he was taken aback by her arrival, he already had anticipated that after making them go bankrupt, someone from the Bennett's family would come to beg him, and it seemed like he was right. He just didn't expect Elena to be the one who came. Elena's gaze pierced into Liam, her features contorted with an intensified hatred. He had already been a target of her disdain for simply being a Danvers, but now, because of his actions that led to her financial ruin, her loathing for him had reached a new, more profound level.Rather than displaying anger, Liam maintained a carefree demeanor as he observed Elena. Having already exacted his revenge on the Bennets, he felt even good, seeing Elena's seething anger. Since she remained silent in response to his initial question, Liam nonchalantly remarked, "If you have nothing to say, please leav
As Elena walked out of Liam's office, she couldn't help feeling angry at him. She had hoped that she would just go there and tell him, and then he would believe her, but to her disappointment, he didn't believe her, and accused her if lying. It was clear that he thought she was accusing him, to take advantage of him,As she walked down the hallway, reminiscing about the encounter with Liam, she felt a wave of regret wash over her, she wished she could go back in time and stop herself from making that mistake that was turning her life worse than it already was. If she had known what the that drunk night she had spent with him was going to result it she would have stopped herself from getting drunk and committing the mistake, but it was too late to go back now.As she got inside her car, Elena recalled the events that had led to her finding out that she was pregnant. She remembered how she had suddenly passed out In Front of her stepbrother and step Uncle, and then she woke up on a hospi
The loud sound of the alarm blaring, jolted Liam awake. Reaching for the alarm clock with his hand, Liam turned it off, his mind still reeling from the revelation that Elena had dropped on him the previous day. Elena, pregnant with his child? The thought was both unsettling and scary, he just hoped it was all a lie.Shaking off the lingering thoughts, Liam rose from bed, stretching his hands. With a yawn, he made his way to the shower. He had planned to meet with Alexander Blackthorn, the enigmatic figure who had been supposedly watching over him, according to the man he had met yesterday. Curiosity and a hint of apprehension ate at him, as he thought about the meeting. After he was done getting ready, he made his way out of the manor and got in his Rolls Royce, instructing his driver to drive him to the location where he would meet the person he was going to meet with.The bustling city streets seemed to fade away as Liam approached the villa which was located on the outskirts of the
Liam was, intrigued by the man's mysterious presence. He was tall and slim, and he was also dressed stylishly. His face was also handsome, with attractive features and deep-set eyes that held a hint of mischief. Something about him, gave Liam the chills and he knew he had to be careful around him. He had to be careful indeed, after all, there was a possibility that this man was the one who had sent that mysterious figure that had knocked him out. “The art… of being unseen?" Liam asked, curiosity piqued. He had never heard of anything like that before so it definitely intrigued him.The man sat down against the pool railing, his gaze looking down at the water on the pool. Turning to look at Liam who stood behind him, he replied. "It's a combination of things," he explained, his voice casual and friendly as if speaking to a friend. "Years of training, a heightened sense of awareness, and an ability to blend into the shadows."Liam's mind raced, trying to understand what the man before
Mrs Danvers had found out something about Emily, and decided that it was best to pay her a visit. When Emily saw Mrs Danvers walking into her office, she was shocked, and annoyed at the same time. She harbored a lot of hatred for the Danvers family because of what had happened to her mom. She hated them, blaming them for the hardship she and her mom had faced as she was growing up. “What are you doing here?” She asked Mrs Danvers coldly.Her expression devoid of any emotion, Mrs Danvers proceeded inside the office. “I know what you've been up to, Emily.” Mrs Danvers said sternly as she approached Emily's desk. Emily looked over at her. “I have no idea what you're talking about.” Although she knew exactly what Mrs Danvers was talking about, she pretended like she didn't know anything. It surprised her as to how Mrs Danvers had figured out that she was plotting against the Danvers family. The discovery was quite straightforward and simple for Mrs Danvers. While browsing through Meg
As Liam was lost in thought thinking about what the consequences might be, if it turned out that indeed Elena was pregnant with his child, and Karen found out about it,, Karen glanced at him, noticing the distant look in his eyes, he was clearly lost in thought. With a gentle nudge, she whispered softly, "Hey, is everything alright? You seem a bit distant today." She asked in a concerned voice, a look of concern making its way to her face. She leaned in closer, hoping to bridge the emotional gap she sensed growing between them.Liam blinked, snapping back to reality. He turned his head, turning to look at her, offering a faint smile that didn't quite seem genuine because of his worries. "Yeah, I'm okay. Just had a lot on my mind lately, you know about work and stuff. " he replied, trying to reassure her while evading revealing the depth of his concerns.Karen smiled faintly, nodding in understanding, she believed him, not knowing that he lied about what was really bothering him. Liam
“Wow, what a bad ending, I can't believe it started so well, but ended like that.” Karen expressed her frustration as she and Liam exited the movie theatre, walking among other people who had also just exited the movie theatre."Well, everyone has their take, but personally, I didn't find it too terrible," Liam responded nonchalantly. The duo strolled together, walking towards where they had parked their Lamborghini. As they casually walked, suddenly it started raining, catching both Karen and Liam off guard. They both exchanged a brief look before picking up their pace, hurrying towards their car. As they walked Karen intertwined her fingers with Liam's as they approached the black sleek Lamborghini that awaited them.As they reached the car, about to step in, the abrupt creaking of a nearby van's doors caught their attention. In a swift motion, the van's doors swung open and slammed shut, revealing three imposing figures. Their gaze locked onto Liam and Karen, an unmistakable hosti
Under Phil's command, the men closed in on Liam, their faces twisted into menacing expressions. As Phil observed his henchmen advancing, a sinister smirk played across his face, broken teeth revealing his satisfaction. He eagerly anticipated witnessing Liam being taught a lesson. This had been Phil's desire ever since his arrest due to Liam's exposure, harboring a relentless need to retaliate against Liam for uncovering his secrets.As Phil's men closed in on Liam, one by one, Liam remained calm and collected, his eyes focused and calculating. Liam ceased to be intimidated by ordinary henchmen when he recognized that the ring had amplified his strength, making it surpass that of a regular person. So the three henchmen, although big, intimidating and strong, posed no threat to him.The rain continued to pour down, intensifying the tension that had surrounded him and Karen. Liam glanced at Karen, signaling for her to get behind him, his eyes promising he'd handle this. Karen, standing
The next day.“Mr. Danvers, you're pushing yourself too hard," a gentle voice interrupted his thoughts. Liam blinked, turning to see a nurse regarding him with concern. "You need rest too, you know. Ms. Bennett is in good hands," she added kindly, her tone soft yet firm.Liam’s gaze shifted briefly to the nurse before returning to Elena's sleeping face. Her fragile state was a reminder of how dangerous the situation was. “I’m alright, thank you,” he replied, his voice calm but carrying a hint of finality. He offered a faint, polite smile, enough to ease the nurse’s concern without inviting further conversation.Liam leaned back slightly in his chair, his hands gripping the armrests. He also wanted to go home and get some rest. However he couldn't bring himself to leave Elena’s side. What if something goes wrong while he is away? He had to make sure she was alright, and Nathan didn't try anything.Nathan wasn’t done, not by a long shot. Even with the security stationed outside the hos
Liam watched Nathan, his jaw tightening as he watched his act unfold. The ease with which Nathan faked concern infuriated him. It wasn’t just the deception, it was the calculated way Nathan played on Elena’s trust. Liam’s instinct was to confront him and expose him immediately, to reveal the truth, but he knew better. Accusing her brother without evidence would only backfire; Elena would never believe him. They were enemies, so she would only see it as him trying to drive a wedge between her and her brother out of spite. No matter how genuine Liam’s intentions were, Elena’s trust in Nathan and her disdain for the Danvers family, would cloud her judgment. If Liam confronted her now, it would only deepen her mistrust and strengthen Nathan’s position. He needed proof; something undeniable that would shatter the illusion Nathan so carefully maintained. Until then, Liam could do nothing but wait and watch, even as the charade continued before his eyes. Good to see you're awake, Ms. Benn
Liam's head snapped toward Elena, as she stirred on the hospital bed, her eyelids fluttering as if she were struggling to open them fully. The faint rise and fall of her chest confirmed she was alive, but she looked weak and disoriented.“Elena?” Liam’s voice softened as he released Nathan abruptly, letting him drop to the floor. Nathan gasped for air, clutching his throat while glaring at Liam.Liam ignored him entirely, rushing to Elena’s bed side. He placed a hand on the bed's railing, leaning closer to get a better look at her face. “Elena, can you hear me?”Elena blinked slowly, her lips parting as she tried to speak, but her voice came out as a strained whisper. “L-Liam?”She sounded surprised, not only by Liam's presence, but because she found herself laying on a hospital bed. "What, happened?"“Yes, it’s me,” Liam said, his tone laced with relief. His gaze flicked briefly toward Nathan, who was still recovering on the floor but making no move toward Elena now. Returning his at
"Doctor, can I see her?" Nathan asked, his voice a carefully faked blend of concern and anxiety. He leaned forward slightly, as if eager to rush to Elena's side, but his eyes held a calculating glint, that showed his true feelings.He had no care for Elena, the only reason he wanted to see her was to make sure she wouldn't wake up. He was disappointed when he heard that she survived the car crash, even more disappointed when he tried to do it himself and he was almost caught.Dr. Grant, looking observant, paused for a moment, studying Nathan's face. He had seen countless worried family members in his years of practice and being a doctor, and something about Nathan's demeanor felt off. Even the way Nathan spoke and carried himself, it was all pretend. However, he couldn't deny a brother's request to see his sister, after all, he was just a doctor here and nothing else."Of course," Dr. Grant replied, stepping aside. "But she's still unconscious. I wouldn't expect ....""I understand,
Nathan was just as nervous, if not more than brad. "Hold on," he said, reaching for his phone, panic creeping into his voice. "Let me try and call for help."His fingers moved quickly, dialing a number with speed. The phone rang only once before someone answered."Hi, Mr Simpson, it's Nathan," he said, his voice tight with growing anxiety. As he began to realize what a dangerous situation he was in, panic began to set in. "I’m being chased. Need backup, now."After a brief exchange on the other end with Mr Simpson, Nathan hung up and leaned back in his seat, his eyes locked on the rearview mirror, watching the Danvers security vehicles closing in fast. Brad glanced at him nervously. "Are they going to be able to help? We’re running out of time."Nathan didn’t answer immediately, his eyes narrowing as he focused on the road ahead. "Yes. Just give them a few minutes. Simpson's men are close by."Some time later, they were still being pursued by Danvers security, unable to shake them. B
Liam stood frozen in the doorway, his breath caught in his throat as his gaze darted from the panick stricken doctors to Elena. She was lying on the bed, looking still and lifeless.The beeping of the heart monitor echoed in his ears, sharp and irregular. He had been gone for only a few minutes, but it felt like a lifetime. Something was terribly wrong already. What happened when he was gone? He didn't know, but he was very worried for Elena and his baby."Is she going to be okay?" Liam asked, his voice was barely above a whisper as he asked the doctors. His eyes searched their faces for an answer, but no one seemed willing to give. They were too focused on Elena.Doctor Grant, focused and calm despite the chaos, didn't look up as he adjusted the machines. "We're doing everything we can, Mr Danvers. I suggest you go outside sir."Liam's stomach twisted with anxiety. He felt like he shouldn't leave Elena and the baby’s side, but he knew the doctors needed space to work. Reluctantly, h
At the same time, Irene and Alvin Danvers arrived outside the hospital room, accompanied by Doctor Grant.The doctor Grant was telling them about Elena's health and the risks she could face on her way to recovery. He spoke calmly, his tone professional yet reassuring. “So far, there have been no complications. She should recover well.”Alvin Danvers voice was composed as usual, but laced with concern as he enquired“And the pregnancy? Is the baby going to be okay?”“Yes, we believe so,” Doctor Grant replied, nodding his head. “But even with all indications being positive, we can’t be completely sure there won’t be complications. It’s something we’ll need to monitor closely.”"That's such a relief, that she is better," Irene Danvers sighed, her tension slightly easing. As much as she and the Danvers family didn't like Elena, they were worried about her, because she was carrying, potentially the future heir to the Danvers empire. Irenes brows furrowed again as she asked, “What other ris
Slipping into the room, Nathan’s eyes were fixed on Elena with a cold, predatory intensity. Not even seeing her in the state that she was in, made him feel bad for her. It was a testament of how much hatred he had built up for her, ever since the betrayal.The door clicked shut softly behind him. As he approached the bed, his footsteps were slow and deliberate. His gaze roamed over her pale face. He stood by the bed, glaring down at her unconscious body. At first, his facial expression was casual, as if he were merely observing something boring. But then, suddenly, his demeanor shifted. His eyes softened, and his brow furrowed in an almost sorrowful way. The rapid change in his emotions was unusual and unsettling. It was as though two opposing emotions: cold detachment and remorse battled within him, each fighting for dominance. Well, Elena was someone whom he used to consider family, and loved so of course he was going to be feeling bad and guilty, but at the same time he hated h
Liam turned to look at Nathan. Their expressions were unreadable as the two men stared at each other. From the hostility in each other's eyes, it was clear they were enemies.Liam turned back around with a sigh. Although he disliked Nathan’s presence intensely, he decided to tolerate it for now. There were more pressing matters at hand than their mutual disdain.Nathan stepped further into the room, closing the door quietly behind him. His gaze lingered on Elena. And a storm of frustration was boiling beneath his calm facade. ‘How the fuck is she still alive?’ he thought bitterly. ‘Those bastards. Useless idiots. I should have done this myself instead of hiring some incompetent fools.’ The sight of Elena still breathing, although shallowly, was infuriating Nathan. All his carefully planned plans, the money he had spent, the risks taken now felt like it was a waste.But the wasted money was the least of Nathan's concerns right now.He feared that if Elena woke up, there was a very rea
