The moment the police officer asked what had happened, and who had knocked out the men laying on the ground, Carol steinfeld didn't hesitate to point a finger at Liam. And why not? First of all he had really did beat the men and knocked them out, and secondly, she hated him and would be happy to see him get handcuffed and taken to jail. She was motivated by a deep-seated animosity, she wasted no time in placing blame on him. To her, this was an opportunity to see Liam handcuffed and taken to jail, regardless of the actual events that led to the confrontation.Upon hearing Carol's accusation, the police officer maintained a stern gaze as he assessed the situation. He shot a look at Liam, "Sir, is what the lady saying true?" he repeated, looking Liam in the eye. “Well…” Before Liam could respond, Carol interrupted him, with a confidence tone, "Of course it is, I was here the whole time. Just arrest him already." She demanded. Shawn, still nursing his injured hand, looked over at the
Liam, witnessing the abrupt change in the officer's attitude toward Carol, furrowed his brows in disbelief. The speed at which the officer had shifted his stance left Liam feeling disgusted by the officer's abandonment of duty in favor of appeasing Carol's influence. At first he had thought the officer was an honest one, but he was proved wrong, because as soon as the officer realized that he was dealing with Carol Steinfeld he decided to abandon his duty.Carol grinned, noticing the drastic change in the officer's demeanor. And it was what she had expected when she had told him who she was. “I'm glad you realized who you're dealing with quickly, officer.” She said smugly, turning to look at Liam with a look that said, ‘I have more power than you.’Liam met her gaze, irked by the smugness playing on her lips. It was evident she believed she had the upper hand in this situation, yet she had no inkling of whom she was crossing. Only if she knew who he was, then she wouldn't be this conf
Liam desired to extend the game he was playing with Carol, allowing her to believe she had control and more power than him. He intended to let her believe that, for a while and then he would suddenly turn the tables on her, showing her who really had the power between them.However, the moment she gestured to the officers beside her to apprehend him, Liam refused to let it continue, knowing that her plan was to get him brutally beaten up by the police officers, and that was not going to happen. Carol smirked as she watched the police officers get their hands on him. “Let's see how arrogant you'll be after they are done with you.” She sneered arrogantly. Her goons had failed to beat him up, and so she decided to use the police officers she had on her payroll. But getting him beat up, was not the only thing she had planned for Liam, that was only going to be the beginning. After orchestrating the beating, she planned to keep him in jail, framing him for a crime he didn't commit to en
The chief officer's fear was visible on his face, and the sweat that formef on his forehead made his fear even more evident. Observing this, his officers were puzzled. The same thing could be said about Carol. She was also just as puzzled as everyone, upon seeing the fearful look in the officers eyes. What was also puzzling to her and the officers was the fact that the chief had become like that, when he saw Liam. The officer, wearing a police hat, asked curiously and worriedly. “Sir, what's going on?” Shifting his gaze towards the officer the police chief gritted his teeth and slapped him. “You bastard, have you no idea what you've done?” He asked, and it was visible by his facial expression that he was enraged. He looked at Liam, announcing, “How dare you forcefully try to hold Mr Danvers in custody?” He questioned all the other officers present. Hearing the mention of the name Mr Danvers, Carol raised her eyebrows in surprise. Mr Danvers? What did he mean by how dare you hold
Carol couldn't fathom how on earth was Liam a Danvers? He grew up as an orphan so now was that even possible? Carol's surprise was evident and for a moment, she was at a loss for words. The realization that Liam was indeed a Danvers, part of the powerful family she had believed him not to be, shook her to the core. Staring at the ID card, Carol's discomfort grew, realizing that her Steinfeld empire was nothing to his Danvers empire. The balance of power had shifted dramatically. Liam wasn't just a CEO; he was a Danvers, a name synonymous with influence, wealth, and authority. The realization dawned on her, she was now dealing with someone more powerful than herself, someone who could ruin her and everyone she was related to if he wanted to.Liam smirked upon seeing the devastated look on Carol's face. The look of confusion and fear on her face was evident and it made him feel slightly satisfied. But he wasn't satisfied enough. He wasn't going to be satisfied, not until he got his re
The drive back to the Danvers manor was uneventful. As he arrived at the manor, Liam pulled into the garage, and as he exited the car, he noticed that Karen's car was already parked in the garage, indicating that she was back from work. His heart picked up pace in apprehension as he imagined what it would be like telling her about Elena. How was she going to react? Not only Karen, but how would everyone react to the news? What would they think of him after learning everything?The Bennet's and the Danvers were rivals, so he worried that his parents would be very disappointed in him after learning that he had gotten involved with someone who came from a rival family. However, he didn't know that back then. Elena looked like a good person at the time, she pretended to be someone who was genuinely interested in him. He didn't know that Elena was a Bennet. Additionally, he was unaware of the strained relationship between the Bennets and the Danvers. He only recently discovered this info
As Liam exited Karen's room, he let out a sigh in relief. Glad that he didn't give in and tell her the secret he was keeping. Who knows what her reaction night have been, had he told her the secret, she would probably have misunderstood and hated him.Making his way down the hallway, Liam darted into the living room, his eyes landing on his dad, who was standing a few meters away, along with a man, who looked like he was the same age as him. As Liam approached, he noticed the man dart his gaze towards him, his gaze lingering on him a little too long, a wide smile plastered on his face. What made Liam uncomfortable was that the man's gaze wasn't a friendly one, but a searching one, as if he was trying to decipher a puzzle. Flicking his gaze away from Liam, the man paid attention to Mr Danvers, as they seemed to discuss something. Mr. Danvers, noticing the approaching footsteps, shifted his gaze toward the sound to see Liam approaching. With a smile, he said, "Oh, Liam, come meet Mr.
Adrian Hastings and the figure that had suddenly appeared out of thin air inside his car, talked about how his meeting with the Danvers went, and how they could get the ring from Liam. And of course, they were sent by the same organization that had been trying to take the ring Liam had for a while now. Time was running out, and Liam looked to be becoming more powerful, and so they were so desperate to take the ring from him.And this was yet one of their attempts to get the ring from Liam. After trying to take it forcefully many times, and failing because no one had been able to defeat him and take the ring, they resorted to this plan. Getting themselves closer to him, so that they can exploit his weaknesses and try to get the ring. The black Bugatti Chiron gilded smoothly to a stop in front of Jason's family mansion. The sound it made as it pulled up, and its sleek lines and luxurious design instantly attracted the attention of everyone outside the mansion. As the onlookers caught

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
