Liam pulled up outside Karen's workplace, his mind still heavy with concern for her. He was determined to address the ongoing issues she was allegedly facing. He couldn't help to feel like this had something to do with him and the fact that he was the father of Elena's unborn child. Perhaps that was the reason she was sad. Liam felt even worse every time he saw how his drunken mistake with Elena had affected his relationship with Karen. Filled with regret, he wished he had done things differently back then, maybe preventing this mess. Yet, at the time, he hadn't known if he would ever be with Karen, making it hard to accept that this was entirely his fault.As he sat there in the car, Liam spotted Karen walking out of the building, making her way towards her parked car. She was looking stunning as usual, dressed in a tailored navy suit that complemented her confident demeanor. Her hair was perfectly styled, and despite the worry lines on her face, she exuded an air of elegance and c
Nathan and his companions walked into the café, concealing firearms. Liam and Karen were still seated in the cafe, waiting for their order, when they noticed four people enter the café. They were all dressed in black hoodies. Their suspicious demeanor caught Liam's attention, particularly one who kept looking around as if searching for witnesses, his hand in his pocket as if holding onto something. Seeing that, Liam was already on high alert. The way they were moving suggested that they weren't there to dine but had some other motives. Liam scanned the men's faces, and to his surprise, he recognized one of them, a man dressed in black jeans and a hoodie, with a beard. The man was none other than Nathan Bennet, Elena's brother. Seeing Nathan among the group, Liam's heart picked up pace as he realized how serious this was. Nathan had always been a threat to the Danvers family for a while now, harboring a deep grudge. And ever since the Danvers family had made the Bennet's go into b
When Nathan suddenly aimed the gun at Karen, Liam's heart pounded in his chest as he feared for her life. His expression quickly turned grim, a dark frown forming on his face. His first thought was to jump on Nathan and disarm him, which would have been easy enough for Liam, since he had supper speed, however he immediately stopped himself, knowing that there was still a chance he might not be able to move fast enough before Nathan could pull the trigger. And even if he was able to disarm Nathan his companions were still armed and they might be able to pull the trigger. “Nathan, stop!” he commanded, his tone icy but with a hint of fear. “I'll do anything you want, just put the gun away.”It was only natural that he would be afraid after seeing a weapon pointed at Karen. She meant so much to him, and he was afraid that Nathan might pull the trigger. A smirk made its way to Nathan's lips, as he removed his finger from the trigger and put the gun down on the table. Liam's reaction af
Seated in the back of the car, with his hands tied and his face blindfolded by the hood, Liam was occupied with a lot of thoughts going through his head, thinking of a way to get out of the situation without Karen getting harmed. She was the only reason he hadn't stomped Nathan and his friends, because he didn't want to risk her getting hurt. Nathan and his friends were all pointing guns at them, and had he acted in any way, there was a possibility that they might have shot her. However, this was the perfect chance for him to get Karen and himself out of this mess, because they didn't have anyone pointing guns at them. With ease, Liam managed to break free of the rope that was trying his hands. It was very easy for him, since he had super strength. After doing that, he reached for Karen's hands, as she was seated beside him in the car. Feeling Liam's touch on her hand, Karen flinched in fear, suspecting that one of the goons was touching her.Gently, Liam squeezed Karen’s hand to le
Liam and Karen decided to stay inside the car and not escape. Although they had the opportunity to escape, they didn't, since Karen was afraid. Which was understandable, seeing as the car was moving too quickly and she would be risking her life if she were to jump out.As the two of them, stayed inside the car waiting for the car to slow down, the minutes stretched into what felt like hours, the tension evident. Eventually, the vehicle slowed down. As the vehicle slowed and came to a stop, the interior of the car grew darker. Seeing as it had gotten darker, Liam could sense that they had entered a new environment. The car then started moving again, but this time the sound of the engine echoed off close walls, and the light from outside disappeared completely, replaced by dim lighting. Liam realized they had driven inside a building, some kind of warehouse. The car moved forward a few more feet before coming to a final stop. A loud, metallic sound echoed through the space as the war
In an instant, Liam and Karen were surrounded by goons. There were about five of them, one on each side and three standing behind them. Liam and Karen quickly turned to face the person who had called out to them, their hearts pounding. As they turned, they saw Nathan standing behind them, flanked by two huge men. One of them had tattoos stretching from his neck to his face. The tattooed goon was carrying a big wrench while the other one wielded a baseball bat. Stepping closer to where Liam and Karen were, Nathan smirked, a sinister glint in his eyes. Liam's escape plan had failed, and it gave Nathan so much joy to see the look in Liam's eyes. Nathan was thinking that Liam must have realized by now that this time there was nothing he could do to save himself. "Thought you could escape, did you?" Nathan taunted.Liam didn't reply to Nathan's taunts, instead he positioned himself protectively in front of Karen. “Get behind me,” he said, his voice steady. He wanted her to get behind
Within seconds Liam had managed to defeat Nathan's goons. Nathan's eyes widened in shock, he couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. When he had instructed his men to attack Liam, he was convinced that they would get the job done, after all they outnumbered him five to one. However, to his shock, being outnumbered didn't stop Liam as he had easily turned the tables. In fact, it was a one-sided fight as he defeated the five goons within seconds. Nathan couldn't help being amazed and shocked at the same time. He had never seen anyone as skillful as him before. Liam's speed was almost supernatural; it was actually unbelievable and inhuman.To Nathan and the two goons standing besides him, Liam seemed more like a force of nature than a man, his movements so swift and precise that they were inhumanKaren who was taking cover behind some crates was also in awe after she had just witnessed Liam incapacitate each thug. Now she was more hopeful that they could get out of the situation. N
Karen and Liam were seated in the back of a cab, as it drove at moderate speed through the quiet night streets, taking them home after leaving the warehouse were Nathan had planned to keep them captive. However his plans failed as he was defeated by Liam.The events of a few hours ago replayed in Liam's mind, and he felt very relieved, mostly because he had gotten Karen out of danger. He glanced at Karen, as she was seated beside him. He was very grateful that she was safe.As for Nathan, Liam and Karen had made sure he didn't get away with what he did, handing him over to the police. And unlike previous times, this time he was going to do anything in his power to make sure he stays locked up and can never cause a danger to the Danvers family again. Back in the warehouse, Liam had thought about ending Nathan's threat permanently, but Karen had stopped him before he could do anything rash advising him that it was best to just hand Nathan over to the police, which they did. Another rea
