Karen had almost died because of some guy named Curtis who had ordered a hit on Shannon. And apparently his men had failed to assassinate Shannon but instead shot Karen and she had almost lost her life. While glad and greatly relieved that she was alive even after getting shot and falling into a coma, Liam couldn't help feeling fearful when he imagined what if the worst had happened?What if she hadn't made it? The thought clawed into him, a vision of her falling, eyes lifeless. Just thinking of the possibility made Liam fear shivers run down his spine. Karen had become a very important person in his life, and he didn't want to lose her. Love was a dangerous word, but he had to admit it, it was what he felt for her.The possibility of Karen succumbing to her injuries haunted Liam. The mere idea that her life could have been taken because of Curtis's hired gunmen fueled his anger and resentment towards him. Even though Karen was not the intended target, she still got shot, and Liam co
A little while later, Liam arrived at the exact location Mr. Martinez had disclosed to him, his mind consumed by a single intention: to find Curtis and exact vengeance for Karen's condition. He was enraged and consumed by a burning desire for retribution. And everytime he thought of Karen and what she must be going through on that hospital bed his anger intensified, making him want to get revenge for Karen even more. Liam's thoughts were clouded, and he wasn't thinking as rationally as he should have been at the moment. All he could think about was inflicting pain upon the person responsible for his fiancée lying in a coma.As Liam arrived, he swiftly packed his car with determined efficiency. However, as he was about to set off towards the warehouse, something caught his attention. With a slight frown, he glanced in the direction of the disturbance, only to be met with a surprising sight. More than five cop cars and trucks were parked outside the warehouse entrance, and the area was
Arriving at the hospital, Liam hurriedly made his way to Karen's room, his heart pounding with worry after receiving his mom's urgent call. The sense of urgency in her voice had left Liam fearing the worst, wondering if something bad had happened to Karen in the hospital. As he entered the hospital room, Liam's anxiety peaked,.and he couldn't help imagining the worst. However, to his immense relief, when he entered the room and darted his gaze towards the bed, he found Karen lying in the bed with her eyes open, listening to Mrs. Danvers and her mom speaking to her. A wave of relief washed over Liam as he observed Karen's alertness, reassured that she was awake and seemingly on the path to recovery, just as the doctor had predicted.A smile of relief and happiness spread across Liam's face as he approached the bed. His worries eased as he reached out to gently grasp Karen's hand, feeling grateful to see her awake and responsive.Liam pulled up a chair beside Karen's bed, his gaze soft
A few weeks later, following the incident that landed Karen in the hospital, she was finally discharged from the hospital as her recovery had progressed smoothly. Remarkably, after some days had passed she had even returned to work, her determination shining through.Meanwhile, around that same time, Mr. Danvers and Liam, determined to not let Curtis get away with Karen's situation, had ensured that Curtis faced the full consequences of his actions. And it was as Liam had expected: Once he had gotten arrested, Curtis had tried to use his wealth and influence to get himself out of trouble, however to his dismay that didn't work, apparently he was dealing with the Danvers family, a family much more powerful than his entire empire.Despite Curtis's attempts to leverage his wealth and influence, Mr. Danvers and Liam had ensured justice prevailed. Curtis found himself convicted and sentenced to a lengthy prison term, a fitting end to his misdeeds.Seated in his bedroom, Liam was engrossed
Upon finding what she was looking for, the maid had a relieved expression across her face. She quickly tucked the ring away, murmuring. “Okay, now, let's fix this mess.” She immediately got back to rearranging everything back in its place.Minutes later the maid came out of Liam's room, purposely walking down the hallway. As the maid stepped outside the manor, into the garden, she let out an audible sigh, clutching her chest as she felt even more relieved that she had successfully gotten the ring from Liam's room without getting caught. However, her relief was short-lived as she continued walking and spotted a figure waiting for her in the distance, a sense of unease creeping at the back of her mind.A frown crept across her face, as she approached the man. Her steps slowed, her heart pounding with nervous anticipation. Getting closer, she could feel his eyes on her, sending a shiver down her spine. Meeting his gaze, she finally spoke up. "I have what you asked for, sir," she addres
Upon realizing the caller was Karen, Liam swiftly answered his phone, eager to hear her voice. As they talked on the phone, she reminded him of their lunch plans. The reminder made Liam both excited and worried at the same time. He was happy to be able to spend some time with her after she had been very busy for the last few days, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling nervous, knowing that he was hiding a very big secret from her, a secret that could end their relationship.After ending the call, Liam returned his cellphone to his pocket, running his hand through his hair as he exhaled audibly. A sense of nervousness creeping in, as he anticipated what was ahead, ate at him. He contemplated lunch with Karen. He had been harboring the secret of expecting a child with Elena for some time now, and the guilt of it pressed heavily on him. He knew he had to tell Karen about it, the sooner the better. He couldn't keep it from her anymore, risking her finding out on her own, that wou
After Mr. Hastings presented the ring to the mysterious figures, a heavy silence enveloped the chamber. Finally after a brief pause, the figure seated in the middle, on a throne-like chair,rose to his feet. The figure's face was concealed by the darkness and cloak. With piercing intensity, he scrutinized the ring in Mr. Hastings' hands. It was evident, judging by his authoritative aura, that the figure was the head of the council, known as the Supreme Master.As the Supreme Master took his gaze away from the ring, he turned his attention towards the entrance, where two cloaked figures stood guard. And then with a silent command, the Supreme Master signaled to the guards.Following the silent command from the head of the council, one of the cloaked figures approached Mr. Hastings, who handed over the ring to him with a sincere expression. Mr Hastings watched as the cloaked guard approached the supreme master and handed the ring to him. With a respectful bow, the guard turned around and
“What's going on?” Karen asked, as she met Liam's gaze, waiting for him to start talking. She couldn't help feeling slightly nervous as she wondered what he might say, and how serious it was. Seeing as his demeanor had drastically changed the moment he asked her to talk about whatever it was he wanted to talk about, it was clear to Karen that it was very important.“Is something bothering you?” She asked again, urging him to talk to her.Liam let out a sigh, still holding her hand. Looking into her eyes, he began telling her. “I'm going to be a father.” He said. He didn't continue, instead he paused and just watched her reaction, feeling slightly uneasy to go on, because he didn't know what her reaction was going to be once she hears it all.Karen raised her eyebrows, perplexed by his statement. He was going to be a father? What did he mean by that? She was his girlfriend and she sure as hell wasn't pregnant, so it didn't make sense to her, what Liam said. “Uh, what?” She asked, scann
