If this were truly a business meeting, Nathan's presence made no sense to Liam, because first of all he wasn't connected to Mr Simpsons corporation and secondly, Nathan was a criminal who was only out of jail because of Mr Simpson. Liam already knew the truth, that the mayor was aiding Mr. Simpson but he wanted to hear them try to justify it.“Then what is his business in all this? Why is he not in police custody?” Liam asked, his gaze fixed on Nathan, who stood beside Mr. Simpson and the mayor. Liam then said to Nathan, “And don’t think just because you’re out now, I’ve forgotten what you did. I’ll make sure you pay for it.Nathan stared back at Liam his gaze cold, engaging in a silent battle of wills. However he didn't say anything in return. Well, what was he supposed to say in response? Normally, Nathan would have shot back a retort or challenged Liam to take action. But now, having seen firsthand what Liam was capable of, Nathan knew better than to provoke him further.The truth
The confidence and arrogance in Mr Simpson's tone as he made threats to Liam was unmistakable. And Liam could tell that his confidence was not empty, he was this confident for a reason. And knowing the man he was dealing with, Liam could tell that Mr Simon must have been plotting something major, that could be really damaging, and knowing that Liam was very concerned and knew he had to find out what Mr Simpson was up to this time and put an end to it. He remembered that Mr Simpson and Salvatore had once aligned themselves with the shadow court, so maybe that was why Mr Simpson was this arrogant and confident in himself.Having the backing of a powerful and mysterious secret society must be the reason Mr Simpson was so full of himself right now and thought he could challenge the Danvers. However even after knowing that, Liam didn't show any sign of being concerned on his face. He really was not all that threatened by Mr Simpson or whoever was backing him. Plus he felt better knowing
The tension in the room was at its peak, and the air was thick with the promise of conflict. The mayor was visibly sweating now. He glanced nervously between the two men, his heart racing as he thought of a way to make sure this doesn't escalate. Such things would be bad for him and his political career as there were so many things that could go wrong if things escalate.The mayor could feel the growing tension in the air as the eyes of aides and staff members locked onto the confrontation between Mr. Simpson and Liam. Conversations were hushed, and the usual hustling and bustling activity in the building came to a halt as everyone had turned their attention to the two men who were now the center of attention. Even those building staff who were usually moving about attending to their roles had stopped in astonishment.Murmurs of surprise and astonishment spread through the crowd."Is that… Mr. Simpson?" someone murmured, their voice laced with disbelief as they recognized the older ma
Liam smirked coldly, recognizing the predictable move as Mr. Simpson resorted to calling in his goons. It was typical of the man to rely on brute force everytime to deal with things. However the presence of the goons didn’t intimidate Liam. If anything it proved to him that his words were having an effect on Mr Simpson.Liam’s senses were razor sharp as he stayed on high alert, every muscle in his body tensed as me Simpson’s men began to move towards him and Mr Simpson. But outwardly, he remained calm, almost indifferent, his gaze fixed on Mr. Simpson as if the encroaching threat was of no concern to him. His posture was relaxed, almost casual, giving the impression that he was entirely focused on his verbal sparring with Mr. Simpson. To anyone watching, it might have seemed as though Liam was oblivious to the danger creeping closer. But this was a calculated act, as he wanted to catch them off guard. In reality, Liam’s peripheral vision tracked every movement, every shift in positio
Although he had witnessed Liam’s strength and skill before, this time Mr. Simpson felt a surge of confidence. He had upgraded his security team, handpicking men who were tougher, more skilled in hand to hand combat than the ones who had failed him before, so he was sure that there was no way someone like Liam would be able to come out on top against them.Liam’s eyes narrowed, sensing the shift in Mr. Simpson’s demeanor. Without looking at him, Liam replied, “Hmm, we'll see,” He said, his voice devoid of any worry as he prepared himself for the inevitable clash between him and Mr Simpson's men.Just then, the room fell silent with anticipation as everyone had their attention on Liam and the goons, the only sound being the subtle shuffling of the guards as they moved into position. Meanwhile, as he watched the scene unfold, Nathan's eyes lit up with satisfaction. A twisted grin spread across his face as he watched the goons begin to close in on Liam. ‘Finally,’ he thought to himself.
Standing in the center of the encirclement, Liam kept posture relaxed, but every muscle was ready for action. With the strategy that the goons were using trying to make sure he didn't have enough space to move, Liam knew it was going to be a tough fight, but nothing he couldn't handle.He met the fierce gazes of the men around him with a calm. Despite not having enough room to maneuver because of the men's tactics, he wasn't worried about that.The anticipation in the room was evident, the silence just before the storm of violence. Mr Simpson had the biggest arrogant smile on his face, he couldn't help it. After all, he was going to witness how Liam gets humbled. Liam’s senses were on high alert, tracking the distance between each man, the rhythm of their breathing, and the subtle shifts in their stance. He noticed how the first security guard charged towards him from his back, clearly attempting to attack him from behind. Liam pretended like he didn't notice that as he continued to
Gasps escaped the lips of the onlookers as they watched Liam deliver a powerful kick to the goon’s chest. To their astonishment, the goon remained unmoved, his expression unchanged, as if Liam’s attack had no effect on him. Mr. Simpson’s cold smirk grew wider as he observed the scene. The man’s lack of reaction made it seem like Liam had finally encountered a worthy opponent. To everyone, it appeared that the goon’s resilience was unmatched, even in the face of Liam’s forceful strike.What neither Mr. Simpson nor the spectators realized was that Liam had deliberately restrained his power. The kick, though seemingly forceful, was executed with minimal strength, revealing his intent to test the goon's strength rather than to overwhelm him. With a groan, the man swung toward Liam with the knuckle dusters. Liam effortlessly dodged the blow and countered with a precise, upward jab to the man’s jaw.The punch landed with a satisfying thud, the knuckle duster instantly rendered useless. The
Mr. Simpson’s face twisted in fury and disbelief as his plan to humble Liam backfired spectacularly. Earlier, he had been so full of himself, even going so far as to demand that Liam get on his knees and apologize for his own sake. But now, with his plan in ruins, that confidence had completely evaporated. It was a bitter humiliation, especially after being so certain that he had the upper hand.In front of all the people he had tried to impress with his dominance, Mr. Simpson now looked foolish and humiliated for daring to challenge someone like Liam. Even the mayor, who knew the extent of Mr Simpson's power and influence had to admit that challenging a Danvers was going too far even for Mr Simpson.The sneer Mr Simpson had worn earlier was gone, replaced by a tight lipped scowl as he struggled to process the reality of his defeat. He didn't think that him ordering his men to Humble Liam would lead to this. What was even worse was the fact that he had lost to the very person he shoul

More than 7 years later passed….The Danvers manor was alive with celebration. Rays of sunlight poured through the wide, open windows, bathing the grand hall in golden glow. The warmth of the sun mixed with the light of chandeliers overhead, created a dreamlike ambiance.Balloons of blue, white, and gold floated on the ceiling, their ribbons trailing down. Laughter echoed from every corner of the big mansion. Children’s giggles mixed together with the clatter of plates, the clinking of glasses, and the soft melody of music playing in the background. The air was filled with the scent of vanilla cake and fresh flowers.“Make a wish, sweetheart,” Rachel said softly, parting the little boy infront of her on the head.A child, no older than six, sat in front of a cake, his cheeks turning red and his face glowing with excitement. The flames of the birthday candles reflected in his eyes. He squeezed his eyes shut tight, holding his breath as he thought long and hard about his wish, like it
Meanwhile...Liam, Adriana, Blackthorn, and the others stepped cautiously into a vast, faintly lit corridor. The air was cold despite the fact that they were indoors and there were flames from iron sconces lighting up the long and narrow corridor. “What is this place?” Liam muttered, his gaze scanning the ancient architecture. It wasn’t modern, no electricity or anything. Infact this looked like it was a completely different world, from the one he lived in. It looked like something pulled straight from a medieval times movie.At that moment, the clatter of hundreds of hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor, sharp and growing louder with every second. Heads turned toward the sound, eyes narrowing in readiness.“They know we’re here,” Adriana muttered, stepping forward with purpose. Her stance shifted as she reached over her shoulder, drawing a sleek, double-edged sword from its sheath on her back. The cold steel shined in the faintly lit corridor. Ignoring the gun strapped to her
The large room was faintly lit. The mysterious members of the shadow council were gathered around the throne-like chair where the Supreme Master sat. The chamber had the ghostly stillness of a forgotten era, its design nothing like the modern time. No modern features decorated the space, only stone walls, iron sconces holding bright flames, and a cold floor of dark granite.It felt like a place pulled straight from medieval times. Even the guards by the entrance wore attire resembling that period. The only figure out of place was Mr. Simpson, dressed in a green suit and black shoes, a bug difference to the world around him.Simpson stood before the council, his head lowered as he delivered the news of yet another one of his failures."Liam Danvers has escaped," he announced, his voice casual but cautious. "We– we believe his family played a role in his escape."Silence followed. It was thick. Unforgiving. And scary. Simpson felt a shiver run down his spine, just from anticipating wha
Eventually, they stopped at a large set of double doors. One of the men stepped forward, twisting the handle before pushing them open.Liam's eyes narrowed as he stepped inside. The room was larger than he expected, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the forest below. His eyes scanned the room. His movements slowed when he spotted familiar faces. Adriana, George, and a few other agents from Adriana's organization standing around. Blackthorn was in conversation with Adriana and George, their expression business-like.“Hi, what’s going on?” Liam asked, his gaze wary, calculating.He’d always thought Blackthorn and Adriana’s people didn’t get along. Seeing them together now, standing like allies or partners, didn’t sit right. Suspicion crept into his mind.“Glad you could make it, Danvers,” Blackthorn said with a grin. “I must apologize for the way you got out of prison. But I promise, it was your friend's idea, not mine.”Adriana nodded. “We asked him to break you out. The Shado
"What do you mean he escaped?" Simpson barked into the phone, his grip so tight in anger the phone creaked, like it might break."The station was attacked, sir," the chief of police stammered nervously. "Multiple officers down. By the time we regained control, Danvers was gone."Simpson’s nostrils flared as he slammed his hand on the armrest of his seat in the limousine. He felt a sweat from in his forehead as he thought about how he would explain this to the Shadow council. He didn't want to face their wrath for this. "Then find him and arrest him, I don’t care how—lock down the city if you have to.""Yes, sir. Units are moving now," the officer replied hurriedly.Simpson ended the call with a sharp tap, his gaze hard and unblinking. Edward seated across from him in the limo, couldn't help asking. "What the hell happened?" "Liam Danvers escaped." Edward's eyes shot up in shock. Weren't they just talking to Liam Danvers in the holding cell not even 2 hours ago, so how did this happ
Liam turned slowly and walked back to the cold, hard bench. He lowered himself onto it, letting out a long, controlled exhale before lying down. The cold surface pressed against his back, familiar now after a week in this miserable cell. It was like this place had become his second home, one he’d never asked for. No amount of influence or wealth from his family had been enough to get him out. The courts had refused him bail, and even the chief of police had played along with it. Well the bastard was getting paid by Mr Simpson and the people he was working with, so of course he was going to play along with it. Liam closed his eyes, he was stuck here, with every sign pointing to the fact that he’d be here for a long time. It was suffocating, inescapable. Worse still, the allegations against him were serious enough to warrant a life sentence. The thought stayed at the back of his mind.Liam sat up abruptly, his elbows resting on his knees, as he recalled Simpsons last words as he left
On the other hand, Edwards snickered at Liam's threats, "Still acting tough, huh? I guess it’s true what they say. Pride comes before the fall." He took a step closer, standing shoulder to shoulder with Simpson. "Thing is, Danvers, this fall? It’s a long one. And you? You’ve got no parachute." Simpson leaned into the bar, his eyes filled with cruelty. "You're done for, Danvers, and so is your family's dominance. As you can see, your family isn't as powerful as it used to be. The Simpsons are the new power in town now,” he said with a twisted grin. “And soon, I'll make sure there are no Danvers left. I'll make sure every single last one of you Danvers is wiped off the face of the Earth.” From the way he said it, it sounded like was making a promise to murder his family and he meant it, which made Liam enraged deep down.Liam rose from the bench, slow and deliberate. He walked towards the bars, stopping inches away, his eyes locked onto Simpson's. His calm demeanor had evaporated now,
Days dragged by slowly for Liam. A week had passed, and he was still locked up in the holding cell. His family had done everything in their power to get him out on bail, but they had failed. Despite their immense influence and authority, it seemed they had been overpowered this time by Mr. Simpson and whoever was backing him.Liam wasn't surprised when his family informed him that Mr. Simpson, in collaboration with some mysterious organization, was behind it all, along with Elena and Nathan.The mastermind behind the entire scheme to frame him for these crimes, however, was none other than Elena. She had even devised the plan to have him accused of assaulting Selena, ensuring his reputation was already tarnished before they delivered the final blow.Liam didn’t know how he was going to deal with Elena. She was the mother of his unborn child, but she was also his enemy. It was because of her that he was sitting in this cell, facing serious allegations. He already knew how he would hand
