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
This was what he had been trying to avoid, when he didn't want to tell her, he knew that there was a chance that she wouldn't understand or believe him. And he was right for thinking that. But he couldn't blame Karen for her reaction, finding out that her boyfriend was expecting a baby with someone else was not something to be taken lightly, and Liam understood her reaction. He just hoped that soon she will calm down and talk to him. Letting out a sigh, Liam turned his attention to the waiter, and called him over. Taking out his bank card he handed it over to the waiter, who swiped it. After the beep that indicated that the transaction had went through, the waiter handed the card back to Liam. Standing up, Liam made his way out of the restaurant. Getting outside he got in his car, leaning back as he let out a sigh. He then reached for his phone thinking of calling Karen, but he stopped himself, realizing that he had to give her some space. Liam started the car and drove off.A about

And he had entrusted Elena and his son to execute it.They planned to trick Liam into investing and publicly endorsing Mr. Edwards' business venture, a sham from the ground up.
