“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
After dealing with Phil and his henchmen, both Karen and Liam got inside the Lamborghini and drove off the parking lot. Rain gently patted on the sleek car as they navigated the highway in silence.Inside, a pin drop silence hung in the air between them. Liam, stealing a glance at Karen noticed that she looked upset. And he attempted to break the tension with a hesitant, "So, how are you holding up?" He could tell that she was upset, and he was well aware why. She had warned him not to engage in fights with the henchmen, but he had disregarded her advice, causing her distress. Karen despised his tendency to get into conflicts and feared for his safety, worrying that he might get hurt one day during such altercations.Karen replied without looking at him. “I'm fine.” She sat back on the seat, and continued. “Focus on the road please.” Liam looked over at her, wanting to say something but he stopped himself and just nodded. “Okay.” He refocused his gaze on the road. A while later, the
Liam quickly got ready. He dressed in black trousers and a white shirt before he left his bedroom. As he walked down the hallway and reached Karen's room door, he paused briefly. Turning towards the door he approached it and knocked. Karen's door swung open before Liam had even finished knocking, revealing her in a black pencil skirt that hugged her curves, and crisp blue shirt. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail, she looked stunning as usual. Her eyes widened slightly at the sight of him, a glint of surprise quickly replaced by a guardedness that tightened her jaw.Hey," Liam said, his voice low and touching. He stepped inside, feeling her stare on him, a reminder that she was still upset with him. He turned back and looked over at her, "Um, can we talk?"Karen didn't answer immediately. She watched him, her brows furrowed, as he stood next to her. Finally, she let out a sharp sigh. "Liam," Karen began, her voice carrying a mix of frustration and concern, "I appreciate you defend
After the samples were collected, Liam was left in a state of anticipation. Liam, nervously seated down on the waiting chair, stared at the clock on the wall as minutes felt like hours. The weight of the impending revelation pressed on him. He was filled with worry and apprehension. He worried that if the DNA results revealed that what he feared was true, he wouldn't know what to do. How would he tell his family, and what would they think of him? And Karen, he didn't even want to imagine what her reaction would be to all of this.Elena on the other hand, was just seated on her seat, looking carefree. She had already come to terms with certain things so there was no need to overthink it. And she couldn't help enjoying Liam's misery. As much as he tried to look like nothing was bothering him, she could still tell that something was definitely bothering him.Liam sat there, next to Elena, the silence between them still lingering. And just when the silence became almost unbearable, it wa
After the Bennet's had gone bankrupt, and Elena had gotten kicked out of the Bennetts Mansion, because of her pregnancy, she had found herself with nowhere to turn, and having no idea what to do. Luckily, she had managed to get a job at Mrs Simpson's company.Mr Simpson, having heard the news that the Danvers had made the Bennet's went bankrupt again, was more than happy to give Elena a job. He offered her refuge, not out of empathy, but as a pawn in his game. His plan required Elena to be close.In exchange for the job, Mr. Simpson made it clear that he expected Elena to align with him in orchestrating the downfall of the Danvers family. The employment offer was not a gesture of goodwill but rather a strategic maneuver, positioning Elena and her unborn baby as a pawn in his calculated moves against the Danvers. As he and Elena discussed her recent meet up with Liam to get the DNA test done, Mr Simpson walked over to his leather seat. “So, what next?” Elena asked, earger to know wha
Liam's expression turned cold upon seeing Carol. He replied, "Oh, it's you again. Now I know why the driver is such a moron.” Carol's smirk disappeared, replaced by a cold and disdainful look. She didn't appreciate the insult Liam had just thrown at her. She couldn't believe that Liam would dare say something like that to her. How dare he disrespect her? It irked her even more because the insult came from none other than Liam, the person she had watched grow up and had always despised, making his life miserable. He used to be afraid of her, but now, the dynamics had shifted since he became wealthy. He no longer cowered in fear, daring to disrespect her without hesitation.The driver by Carol Steinfeld's side scowled as Liam addressed his boss disrespectfully. No one dared to talk to her in such a manner, those who showed her disrespect always faced consequences. Who did this bastard think he was, talking to her like that?The driver's jaw clenched, and he reached for his pockets as i

When Shawn's gaze met Liam's, a subtle realization dawned on him. He realized that there was no trace of fear in Liam's eyes.

However, this time, Liam stayed composed and unwavering.Despite this shift, it made little difference to Shawn. Indifferent to whether Liam harbored fear or not, Shawn remained focused on his duty.
