Liam sat at the table for a long while, feeling sad after Cara left the way she did. Liam knew she believed what Erin said about him, and that's why she decided to leave. Guess she didn't feel the same way he did about her? And she definitely didn't trust him.After some time, the waiter came over to Liam's table, to ask if everything was alright. Nodding, Liam smiled faintly and requested the check, "Can I have the check?" He asked.He paid the bill and left a huge tip for the waiter before he left the restaurant. When he got outside, he hailed a taxi back to Multiversal studios. In the hallway, on his way to his office, Liam passed by Erin who was talking to someone. When Erin spotted him, she was satisfied, seeing as he looked dejected. She was satisfied to know that her plan had worked.Liam on the other hand paid her no mind to her, he didn't even look at her face.When Liam got inside his office, he walked behind his desk, sat down, and got back to work quickly, putting away al
Erin just arrived at the Lopez mansion, and it was at night. She had come from the hotel room she shared with Marshall. And she was upset with him, because even after explaining the situation to him, he refused the idea of them having a child together, claiming that he was not yet ready to have a second child. But really, it was because he was just using her."Does he even take me seriously?" Erin muttered disappointedly, as she stepped out of her car, and headed inside the mansion. The fact that he never wanted to take their relationship to the next level, now had Erin thinking, he was just using her for the sex, and she felt awful, just thinking about it."Good evening ma'am… would you like anything to drink?" Darcy asked as she cleaned the living room, flashing a perfect smile at her boss."No," Erin replied without looking at Darcy. She didn't have the appetite to eat, with everything that had been going at the moment. If Marshall was going to keep on refusing to have a child wit
"Sir, I'm sorry, but I couldn't convince her." Amanda informed Liam from the other end of the line. It was evident in her tone that she was feeling bad because she couldn't succeed in convincing Lana. "Okay, it's alright." Liam replied politely. He understood that she tried and failed, but there was nothing to apologize about. "I'm going to hang up now, see you at work tomorrow, okay." Liam politely said, disconnecting the line.Letting out a sigh calmly, as he rested his arms on the empty dining table, Liam glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was 9:28 PM already, and he only had about thirty minutes left before he would leave for the party that night.Liam knew he had to put aside his plans for Erin tonight, as he had a party to attend to, and he didn't want to keep thinking about how he was going to get his revenge the whole time while he chats to people at the party. With those thoughts in mind, Liam decided to take a quick bath before leaving the party. After that,
Seeing Erin and Marshall at the party, fucked up Liam's mood. 'That woman is everywhere.' Liam thought to himself, as he sipped on his drink. He was standing on his own near the entrance.It had been five minutes since he arrived, and he hadn't been in a conversation with anyone, yet.'I'd better start talking to people, if I don't want to look weird.' Liam thought to himself.At that same time, Lana was happily chatting to someone. And when Liam subconsciously looked in her direction he spotted her. 'Wow, there she is… should I walk over to her, and try to convince her?' Liam thought to himself. Amanda couldn't convince Lana to sign with multiversal studios, but Liam felt like he could convince her.After thinking about it for some time, he decided to walk over to her and talk to her. It was a great opportunity for him to convince her to replace Erin. With those thoughts in mind, Liam walked over to Lana Walking towards her, Liam cleared his throat lightly as he stood behind her.
Watching as Erin walked away from her, Lana sighed calmly, "Poor guy, he is married to the worst woman on earth." Lana muttered softly, as she took a sip of her drink. Lana and Erin were friends for a brief period, and then they became enemies, for some reason, only the two of them knew about. But in that brief time that Lana had been friends with Erin, she knew her better to know that Erin had a bad heart. She wasn't evil, but one couldn't say she was not evil either.Annoyed with Erin, Liam didn't want to be close to her or see her smug face again. He decided to keep a distance from her and her boyfriend throughout the whole party, so he went outside the hotel to the parking lot. 'I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Marshall idiot hasn't told her to sign the divorce papers.' Liam thought to himself. But he had another plan to make Erin sign the divorce papers. 'She'll have no choice but to agree to sign the divorce papers by the end of the night, or else everyone will know what s
The echoing sound of Erin's slap attracted everyone's attention, and everyone shifted their attention, looking at Erin, Liam, and Marshall with shocked expressions. What was happening? And why did the famous Erin Lopez slap that handsome young man all of a sudden? "What did he do, to be slapped like this?" A man in a white suit asked the person standing next to him, with a perplexed expression.The other man shrugged his shoulders."Who knows why she slapped him… but he surely offended her, otherwise why would she slap him?" People talked amongst themselves, disdainfully glaring at Liam.According to them, Liam was the one in the wrong. Of course, they had to take Erin's side, she was a famous actress, while Liam was obviously a nobody, despite dressing luxuriously.Liam didn't care what people thought of him, he just wanted to get divorced from Erin. Glaring at Erin, lividly, Liam was about to say something to her, when suddenly, s
"Sure sir." The security guards nodded, in affirmation, before walking away. Lisa who was also watching the fight looked at Dick and asked. "Babe, don't you think that guy has been beaten up enough... I mean he is begging for mercy." She asked with a look of concern. Marshall's face was bloody, and he looked pitiful, but it looked like Liam was not yet done with him, even though Marshall was stepping back and begging him to stop.Erin knew that if she wanted her Marshall to make it out of the hotel without any broken bones or alive at all, she had to intervene."Liam stop, enough!" Erin said as she stood between Marshall and Liam, and then she looked at Marshall, who was still standing even after receiving the worst beating of his life.Taking her eyes off Marshall, and looking at Liam, Erin stepped closer to him, and then she gritted her teeth as she said. "You know why, I don't accept you as my husband? It's because you're always like this, Liam. You're
Having had enough of what was going on, Lana decided to intervene, and finally put an end to Erin's lying. "We both know that you're the one doing all those things you're accusing him of, and you're also forcing him to stay married to you… and that evidence proves it all, doesn't it?" Lana asked.Erin did notlike what Lana did. And why was she taking Liam side at all? "Why don't you shut up, you don't know the truth?" Erin stated, coldly, she turned and looked at the people saying, "Don't believe her, she's only taking his side cause she is jealous of me." Erin said. And according to her, Lana was jealous of her success.Hearing Erin's words, Someone scoffed at her words. "Yeah, right, you want us to believe you over Lana?" He asked, crossing his hand on his chest."I think, you're the liar here, your husband has shown us the proof about what type of person you're." Stated another one. "...." Erin opened her mouth to reply, but she didn't have anything to say, they were right."Wha
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
Liam hurried through the hospital's automatic doors, the sound of his footsteps echoing in the air. His facial expression was a mask of worry. Beside him were Cara, Luke, and Megan, each of them having insisted on accompanying him after hearing about Elena’s accident. But their reasons were different. They weren’t there for Elena, they were there for him in this tough time. Cara and Luke didn’t know Elena at all to care, and Megan, though concerned, had no real affection for Elena due to her cunning and manipulative ways. The only reason Megan might feel a hint of worry now was because Elena was carrying Liam’s child, the baby that was family to her.Nonetheless, their presence was a comfort to Liam, though it did little to ease the anxiety within him. The doctor hadn’t been very clear on Elena’s condition over the phone, and Liam couldn’t get rid of the fear that something terrible had happened. He didn’t want to lose his child, especially not before he’d even had the chance to me
Nathan was seated down, contemplating what he had done, when his phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out, glancing at the screen before bringing it to his ear. The voice on the other end was chilling and unemotional.“It’s done,” the man reported, his tone carrying a finality that made Nathan feel like something had twisted deep inside him, “We took care of her, just like you wanted.”Nathan didn’t respond immediately. His gaze drifted to the dull, worn-down walls of the small apartment, the silence around him feeling suddenly oppressive. He’d thought this would bring him relief, some sense of satisfaction. But instead, his chest felt nothing but heartache, guit, sadness, a sick ache building as he gripped the phone tighter.He swallowed, his expression cold and voice barely above a whisper as he replied. “Are you sure?” he asked, he was feeling bad. Nonetheless he was still hoping that they had truly done their job and took care of Elena, “You made certain she couldn’t survive?”
The midday sun beat down on her, as Elena exited the apartment she lived in and walked to her car. She settled into the driver’s seat, feeling the intensity of the heat radiating from the sidewalk outside. She adjusted her sunglasses and took a slow, calming breath, enjoying the cool blast of air conditioning as it began to ease the uncomfortable warmth.Then she inserted the key in the ignition. Turning the key she fully expected the engine to roar to life. But instead, it gave a weak sputter and fell silent. “Oh, come on!” she muttered, frustration in her voice and in her tone as she tried again. This time, the engine barely sputtered before quitting completely, leaving an uneasy silence around her. “This can't be happening right now.” She mumbled, pushing herself back against the car seat as she pulled a strand of hair from her face.She glanced around, almost embarrassed, as if someone might witness her struggle with the aging car. It felt like a cruel reminder of everything she’d
The men exchanged glances before one of them leaned back, his hand lingering over the cash and counting it. He looked up at Nathan with a frown. “Yeah, don't worry, we can handle the job easily.” He paused and tossed the stacks of money to the other guy beside him, saying, “But this isn’t enough for us to do the job,” the man said, his voice low but insistent. “We are supposed to take care of two people, not just one. The price you’re offering here? It's only for one.”Nathan’s jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing. His teeth clenched as he shot them a hard glare. “What do you mean, two?” he snapped. He’d only specified one target, so they had made up the second target. It seemed like these guys were trying to milk more money out of him and he wasn't going to let that happen. What did they take him for? A fool?“You greedy bastards!” he spat angrily, his voice dangerously calm. “You’re supposed to handle one person. What the hell do you mean, two people?”The second man, who had been sile
Aretha took a deep breath, her eyes meeting Liam's with a determined gaze. “I’ll help you,” she said, though a slight hesitation lingered in her tone. She wasn’t entirely comfortable with her decision. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to support Liam; it was just that the idea of going against Selena, her old college friend, left her feeling like a bad person. Aretha had known about Selena’s manipulative ways, but they had never directly affected her, so she had stayed on the sidelines.Though they’d drifted apart after college and rarely spoke now, the thought of siding against Selena brought some guilt. Still, seeing Liam’s hopeful expression, she reminded herself why she’d agreed.Liam’s face lit up, a genuine smile spreading across his features. Relief and gratitude was visible in his eyes, and he gave her a slight nod, clearly grateful for her support.“Thank you, Aretha. This means a lot,” Liam replied, his voice laced with sincerity. A subtle, satisfied smile played at his lips a
At the Carrington's residence. The morning sun shone through the streets. Liam stood outside his sleek sports car outside the Carrington residence, watching as Ethan carefully helped Mr. Carrington up the steps and into the house. He let out a sigh, turning his thoughts to Aretha who was nowhere to be seen. He hadn’t come to the Carrington residence just to visit; he came here for Aretha because he needed her help. Aretha had known Selena from their college days, and she seemed to know about the person she was. If Liam could get Aretha's help and testify against her in court he would easily win this lawsuit.‘Where is she?’ Liam wondered. He hadn't seen Aretha ever since he arrived and she had told him she would meet him there, yet she was nowhere to be seen. “Easy, Dad,” Ethan murmured, steadying Mr. Carrington with a supportive grip.Liam observed them quietly, relieved that Mr. Carrington was finally out of the hospital. This was a step forward. But he still had to help them d
A wave of betrayal and disbelief washed over Elena after hearing what Nia Bennett, who was her and Nathan's Aunt, had to say. She hadn’t expected support from the old woman, especially when it involved Nathan; Nia would take his side over her anyways, but nonetheless to hear her against her, against the child she was carrying… It was almost too much. Elena realized she might be more alone in this than she’d initially thought. A part of her understood Nathan and Nia's feelings; after all, she was carrying a Danvers in her belly, a name that represented everything they despised. Even so, the child was still hers, an innocent life that hadn’t yet taken a breath. She couldn’t bring herself to imagine aborting him. Raising her head, Elena met Nia's gaze and then she turned to stare at Nathan with a defiance look and said,“That's not happening.” She protested. She couldn't imagine aborting the baby. It wasn’t just that Elena loved the unborn child, though, in her way, she did. But her
Nathan planted himself in Elena’s path, his gaze hard and showing no sign of any emotion. It was the look that always sent a chill through Elena's spine, she could never know what he was thinking. And he seemed to hate her more than he hated Liam Danvers himself. This time as Nathan stood in Elena's way, he wasn’t letting her walk away without hearing him out.Elena met his gaze, her nerves growing beneath her calm expression. "Please, get out of my way," she demanded coldly, although deep down she was in a lot of unease with him standing in her way like that. She was pregnant and she didn't want anything to happen and risk having any complications.As she looked at her brother, his expression unsettled her; the intensity in his eyes made her wonder if his resentment was building toward something darker. Trying to shake off the unease, she took a step to the side and brushed past him, hoping he would let her leave it at that.But Nathan wasn’t finished. He was even more annoyed that
