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
There was a silence in the store as Megan blocked Elena from getting to Karen to prevent an escalation of things. All of Elena attempts to put her hands on Elena had been thwarted by her. And not only that Karen had retaliated by slapping her across the face, something that made Elena embarrassed because this all happened Infront of everyone. It was clear that Elena was very determined to confront Karen, her anger barely contained. However Megan was determined to not let that happen, knowing that if things escalate it would be bad for Elena's pregnancy, she could potentially face complications. And while Megan didn't care about Elena, she had no choice but to protect her for her brother Liam, who wouldn't be happy if Elena lost the baby.Elena glared at Megan, her eyes icy with rage. The fact that Megan was standing on her way annoyed her and she was thinking of lashing out at her to get her out of the way. She tried to push past using force, however Megan stood still and didn't move
Elena shifted her gaze and glared at the sales lady. She didn't like the fact that instead of just doing as she was told, the sales lady was reluctant even asking her questions.”Why you ask? This woman is getting violent! She attacked me!” Elena insisted, her voice rising with frustration. “Kick her out now, or I’ll never shop here again and I’ll make sure everyone knows not to shop here either!” She threatened.Hearing Elena's threat, the sales lady felt a shiver run down her spine. She turned her gaze towards Karen, glaring at her coldly. Elena's warning that she would stop shopping here and tell others to avoid the store had the manager feeling apprehensive. Elena was a significant spender, and the prospect of losing her business and potentially more customers due to her influence was alarming. The manager was deeply concerned about the potential financial impact on the store, and knew that she had to do what Elena wanted for the sake of her business. The store manager turned her
