Upon arriving at Mr. Blackthorn's estate, Liam exited the car and started walking towards the gate, accompanied by Mr. Blackthorn's agents. The grandeur of the estate was impressive, with tall gates and meticulously kept grounds. The agents, Owen and his partner flanked him as they accompanied him inside the estate to meet their boss. Liam found their presence unsettling, especially the woman she had an aura around her.As they approached the gate, the agents exchanged nods with the security guards stationed there. The security guards at the gate were dressed in hooded cloaks, with sword strapped to their backs. They looked mysterious and dangerous at the same time. With a soft creak, one of the security guards opened the gate, allowing them to enter the estate.On the other side, Liam saw Mr Blackthorn waiting for them, standing near a decorative fountain, his posture relaxed. A small smile played across his lips as he watched Liam approach.‘Liam Danvers, welcome," Mr. Blackthorn s
Upon leaving Mr. Blackthorn's estate, Liam drove to Multiversal Studios, his thoughts still filled with the recent conversation he had just had with Mr Blackthorn. He had no idea what Mr Blackthorn's intentions were, but he suspected they weren't exactly good, judging by how suspicious he As he reviewed the discussion in his mind, he carefully examined every detail, every word exchanged and every subtle hint of Mr Blackthorn's behavior. It became clear to Liam that Mr Blackthorn seemed intent on keeping the ring with himself once they retrieved it from the Shadow Council. However, Liam was worried about his intentions with it, as he couldn’t afford to let the ring fall into the wrong hands again. And even if Mr. Blackthorn didn’t give off suspicious energy, Liam still wouldn’t accept that once they get the ring back he would give it to him, because the ring was a family heirloom. It had been in the family for centuries, passed on from generation to generation as a symbol of their li
As Mr. Edwards and Mr. Simpson sat in the office, they were deep in discussion about their successful deception of Liam Danvers by planting false information about Mr. Edwards' background. Just as they had expected, Liam really had someone do a little background on Mr Edwards before entering into a business relationship with him. Which was smart of him, however he had been fooled, because the information that Amanda was able to find about Mr Edwards background, was false and had been planted for him to find.At that same time, as Mr. Edwards and Mr. Simpson continued their discussion, the office door was pushed open with a creak. The two men turned around to see as Elena walked in, holding an iPad with both hands.Elena was dressed stylishly in a tailored navy blue suit, the jacket impeccably fitted over a crisp white blouse. Her outfit was completed with polished black heels and very little, tasteful jewelry. To say the least she looked stunningly elegant. Mr. Edwards and Mr. Simpso
After reviewing the file on Mr Edwards electric car company, Liam was satisfied with everything. Everything looked good, Liam didn't find anything wrong with the company. He set aside the company files and refocused on the day’s remaining tasks. Hours later, as the evening settled in, Liam sat in his luxurious leather high-backed chair, letting out a deep sigh as he stared into the distance. The cityscape stretched out before him through the expansive glass windows. The sun was just setting, casting long, dramatic shadows across his office. The workday was finally coming to an end, and he was feeling relieved, his thoughts were preoccupied with the day's events.As he shifted his focus to other pressing matters, the loud ring of his phone had him snap out of his thoughts. Furrowing his brow he wondered who was calling him. He was hoping that whoever the caller was, they weren't calling because of something that needed his attention or a serious matter. He was already exhausted from w
When Liam arrived in Adriana's office and walked in, he found her standing near the desk, giving off a professional demeanor. George her partner leaned casually against the desk, while a woman sat on one of the sofas. When Liam darted his gaze towards the woman, he recognized her from a previous visit but couldn’t recall her name. He didn't remember if she had introduced herself or not. After sometime, he finally remembered that she had introduced herself, and her name was Chelsey. Liam walked over to an empty chair opposite them and took a seat. As he settled in, his gaze moved from Adriana to George and then to Chelsey. “So, what's the plan?” he asked, his voice filled with curiosity. The woman on the sofa, Chelsey, spoke up. “After consulting with our high ups, we’ve figured that the ring is likely being held by a high ranking member of the shadow court. We have a few leads on their location.” Liam nodded. “Okay, and how do we get it back?” Liam was about to continue with his que
Megan wasn’t the only one with a frown on her face as Elena moved from where she was standing before she spotted them, to where they were. Karen’s expression also noticeably darkened in disdain at the sight of Elena. It was no secret that Karen held a deep animosity towards Elena. And there was a reason for that hatred she had towards Elena. She disliked Elena, ever since shen found out that the woman standing before her had been involved in a one night stand with Liam, which had led to her becoming pregnant. Although this encounter between Elena and Liam had happened before Karen and Liam had officially started dating, it did little to relieve Karen's feelings of jealousy and resentment towards Elena. The knowledge that Elena had been with Liam, and was now carrying his child, was a bitter pill for Karen to swallow. Something she wished had never happened.However, Karen’s disdain for Elena went beyond jealousy tied to the pregnancy. It was also because she knew that Elena was a c
Elena’s grin widened as she watched Karen’s face flush with anger. She could practically taste Karen’s frustration, and she was enjoying seeing that Karen was actually affected by the fact that Liam was expecting a child with someone else.Although she didn't really have any personal property problem with Karen, the fact that she was Liam's fiance, was reason enough for Elena to consider her an enemy.Elena continued to enjoy the effect her provocations were having on Karen, she met her gaze faking a concerned look. “Karen, I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize Liam was in a relationship when we met. I never meant to cause any trouble or break up what you two had.” she said, although she faked concern, there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.Even though she knew that Liam and Karen weren’t together when she and Liam had their one-night stand, Elena was determined to make Karen believe otherwise. She enjoyed the manipulation and saw it as an opportunity to deepen the rift between Liam and Ka
Karen’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes widening as she realized that Elena was about to hit her back. She anticipated Elena's next move. She had not expected Elena to retaliate and try to slap her back, however she was ready to defend herself.Just as Elena’s hand swung towards her face, Karen instinctively reached out and caught Elena’s wrist mid air before the hand could reach her face.The sudden halt of her hand surprised Elena who didn't expect Karen to move so quickly and catch her wrist mid air. She had expected Karen to just stand by and get slapped, but she was wrong. Karen’s grip on Elena’s wrist was surprisingly strong but controlled, her eyes locked onto Elena’s with a coldness that sent a shiver down her spine. Elena was shocked, not just by the fact that Karen had anticipated her hand and caught it before she could deliver the slap, but also by how her demeanor was so cold, it was frightening.This wasn’t the impression Elena had of Karen. She had expected Karen to be
