After parting ways with Karen, Liam drove to Multiversal Studios, where he spent several hours managing various tasks and overseeing ongoing projects. The building buzzed with activities, and Liam was deeply absorbed in his work, barely noticing the passage of time.Hours later, just as he was wrapping up for the day, his phone rang. He let out a weary sigh as he reached for his phone on the desk. He quickly glanced at the caller ID, pausing when he saw that the person calling him was Mr Edwards. Liam’s brow furrowed in surprise. Why would Mr Edwards be calling him at this hour when he was wrapping up to leave work? He assumed it had to be about the business and the investment they had discussed. Without wasting any more time, Liam answered the call, bringing the phone to his ear. “Hello, Mr. Edwards.”Meanwhile, at that exact moment, Mr. Edwards was seated in a sleek conference room. The atmosphere inside was tense and focused as Mr. Edwards stared down at his cell phone, which rest
Elena let out a smile as she thought about how clueless Liam was of any of their plotting. He was very convinced that this was just another business deal that he would benefit from, not knowing that it was going to be the end of him and the Danvers family. “Dummy, I bet he won’t even suspect a thing.” She said happily. Elena was feeling very confident this time. And couldn't believe the last time she had believed in this scheme she and Mr Simpson had come up with before until now. She was now hopeful that everything was going to work out. Liam couldn't stop them this time since he was clueless, “By the time he realizes what’s going on, it’ll be too late,” she added.Samuel, standing beside her, shared a cold smile with her. "It's about time the Danvers finally got what they deserve," he said, his voice icy. "And Liam... he's so stupid, he can't even tell when he's being led into a trap. We'll crush him and his precious Danvers family, and they'll never see it coming."Across the roo
Nathan was family to Elena. Although they didn’t share the same blood, they had grown up together, with their parents being married to each other. To her, he was like an older brother. So, hearing him tell others that she should be gotten rid of felt like a deep betrayal, one that hurt her to the core. Elena glared at Nathan, her voice was filled with a lot of emotions as she spoke to him. “We are family, Nathan! How can you even think….” Elena couldn't even finish her sentence as Nathan interrupted her with a scoff. Nathan cut her off sharply, his tone cold and dismissive. “Family? Please. Don’t kid yourself, Elena. We’re not the same blood. We’ve never been a true family, and you know it.”Elena froze, Nathan's words hitting her like a slap. She had always thought of Nathan as her brother, despite their different bloodlines, but hearing him say this shattered something inside her.Nathan continued, his voice filled with bitterness. “You were just a part of the deal when our parent
Elena was relieved to see that Mr Simpson was the only one who seemed to be taking her side and didn't agree with Nathan to get rid of her. Although she didn't show it, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. However she was still feeling the betrayal from Nathan and she was still quite in disbelief. She had never imagined that someone she considered family could harbor such hatred toward her, let alone wish for her to be gotten rid of. The disbelief lingered, leaving her with a sense of unease that she couldn't shake. Nathan shot her one final, venomous glare before storming out of the conference room, his footsteps echoing with the anger he could no longer contain. It infuriated him to see that even after knowing of her betrayal, Mr Simpson still wanted to work with her. This wasn't only about making everyone turn on Elena, Nathan also wanted to take her place in Mr Simpson's plan against the Danvers and his business empire. He had noticed how Elena seemed to hold a powerful pos
Meanwhile at that same time somewhere else.The private dock was transformed into an extremely bright hub of activity for the high profile charity event, an extravagant fundraiser supporting multiple causes. The event was organized by one of the powerful families from the neighboring city, and it aimed to raise funds for children’s education, medical research, and so on. An opulent red carpet stretched from the dock to the entrance of the yacht, flanked by velvet ropes and lined with a cloud of photographers and journalists. The air was filled with a happy and lively atmosphere and anticipation. Outside the yacht a crowd gathered, event attendees stepping out of their cars and making their way toward the yacht. The workers like security guards and waiters moved about as they attended to their various jobs. The sound of clicking cameras and murmurs mixed as people conversed with each other outside the yacht. The occasional flash from the cameras of paparazzi and news people lightene
“Wow, what was it like being married to Liam Danvers, Erin?” another reporter asked, curiosity evident in their voice.“What went wrong in your marriage?” another reporter inquired, adding to the buzz of questions.Even more than ever not in the mood to answer questions, Erin ignored the reporter's question. “Alright, No more questions.” With that she continued on her way, walking towards the yacht her family followed behind. Some of the paparazzi and journalist's tried to follow her and ask her more questions, however before they could, their attention was drawn to the sound of a car engine roaring loudly and powerfully.The sudden roar of a powerful engine stopped the chatter and clinking of glasses of the event. Heads turned towards the source of the sound, and to everyone's surprise they saw a sleek sports car driving towards the dock.Astonishment was evident on the faces of everyone at the dock as they realized the car arriving was a limited edition Eclipse Mirage. The car's ar
Liam offered Karen his arm, a small but intimate gesture that spoke volumes about their connection.There was a reason for this. As a young, handsome man from a wealthy background, it wasn’t surprising that many people would try to catch his attention. By offering his arm to Karen, Liam wanted to make it clear to everyone that he was with her. At events like this, people often assumed he was single and sought his company, but tonight, he wanted no misunderstandings.“Wow, I think they are dating.” Someone said in astonishment as they saw the two of them holding hands.“Yeah, a Danvers and a Wolfe. Who would would have known? But they look so good together, just look at them!” another person added, appreciating how good they looked together.The murmurs grew louder as they moved further into the yacht with guests subtly positioning themselves to get a better look at the striking couple. It was clear that Liam and Karen had made an entrance to remember, their arrival setting the tone for
Liam’s frustration with the reporters was noticeable by his attitude. Despite his clear refusal to entertain their intrusive questions, they persisted, their flashing cameras and insistent voices making it clear that they were determined to pry into his private life. He had already made it clear that he wasn’t going to answer personal questions, but their relentless barrage of questions only deepened his irritation.Each prying question from the journalists and reporters was met with Liam’s stoic silence, his patience wearing thin. His eyes flashed with annoyance as he decided he had had enough. With a purposeful step he turned on his heel and walked away from the cluster of reporters, their voices fading behind him. Karen followed his lead, her own frustration evident as she moved away from the crowd of media personnel.However Karen’s frustration mainly came from the fact that her answers went answered. She felt slightly disappointed as Liam decided not to answer the more personal q
The next day.“Mr. Danvers, you're pushing yourself too hard," a gentle voice interrupted his thoughts. Liam blinked, turning to see a nurse regarding him with concern. "You need rest too, you know. Ms. Bennett is in good hands," she added kindly, her tone soft yet firm.Liam’s gaze shifted briefly to the nurse before returning to Elena's sleeping face. Her fragile state was a reminder of how dangerous the situation was. “I’m alright, thank you,” he replied, his voice calm but carrying a hint of finality. He offered a faint, polite smile, enough to ease the nurse’s concern without inviting further conversation.Liam leaned back slightly in his chair, his hands gripping the armrests. He also wanted to go home and get some rest. However he couldn't bring himself to leave Elena’s side. What if something goes wrong while he is away? He had to make sure she was alright, and Nathan didn't try anything.Nathan wasn’t done, not by a long shot. Even with the security stationed outside the hos
Liam watched Nathan, his jaw tightening as he watched his act unfold. The ease with which Nathan faked concern infuriated him. It wasn’t just the deception, it was the calculated way Nathan played on Elena’s trust. Liam’s instinct was to confront him and expose him immediately, to reveal the truth, but he knew better. Accusing her brother without evidence would only backfire; Elena would never believe him. They were enemies, so she would only see it as him trying to drive a wedge between her and her brother out of spite. No matter how genuine Liam’s intentions were, Elena’s trust in Nathan and her disdain for the Danvers family, would cloud her judgment. If Liam confronted her now, it would only deepen her mistrust and strengthen Nathan’s position. He needed proof; something undeniable that would shatter the illusion Nathan so carefully maintained. Until then, Liam could do nothing but wait and watch, even as the charade continued before his eyes. Good to see you're awake, Ms. Benn
Liam's head snapped toward Elena, as she stirred on the hospital bed, her eyelids fluttering as if she were struggling to open them fully. The faint rise and fall of her chest confirmed she was alive, but she looked weak and disoriented.“Elena?” Liam’s voice softened as he released Nathan abruptly, letting him drop to the floor. Nathan gasped for air, clutching his throat while glaring at Liam.Liam ignored him entirely, rushing to Elena’s bed side. He placed a hand on the bed's railing, leaning closer to get a better look at her face. “Elena, can you hear me?”Elena blinked slowly, her lips parting as she tried to speak, but her voice came out as a strained whisper. “L-Liam?”She sounded surprised, not only by Liam's presence, but because she found herself laying on a hospital bed. "What, happened?"“Yes, it’s me,” Liam said, his tone laced with relief. His gaze flicked briefly toward Nathan, who was still recovering on the floor but making no move toward Elena now. Returning his at
"Doctor, can I see her?" Nathan asked, his voice a carefully faked blend of concern and anxiety. He leaned forward slightly, as if eager to rush to Elena's side, but his eyes held a calculating glint, that showed his true feelings.He had no care for Elena, the only reason he wanted to see her was to make sure she wouldn't wake up. He was disappointed when he heard that she survived the car crash, even more disappointed when he tried to do it himself and he was almost caught.Dr. Grant, looking observant, paused for a moment, studying Nathan's face. He had seen countless worried family members in his years of practice and being a doctor, and something about Nathan's demeanor felt off. Even the way Nathan spoke and carried himself, it was all pretend. However, he couldn't deny a brother's request to see his sister, after all, he was just a doctor here and nothing else."Of course," Dr. Grant replied, stepping aside. "But she's still unconscious. I wouldn't expect ....""I understand,
Nathan was just as nervous, if not more than brad. "Hold on," he said, reaching for his phone, panic creeping into his voice. "Let me try and call for help."His fingers moved quickly, dialing a number with speed. The phone rang only once before someone answered."Hi, Mr Simpson, it's Nathan," he said, his voice tight with growing anxiety. As he began to realize what a dangerous situation he was in, panic began to set in. "I’m being chased. Need backup, now."After a brief exchange on the other end with Mr Simpson, Nathan hung up and leaned back in his seat, his eyes locked on the rearview mirror, watching the Danvers security vehicles closing in fast. Brad glanced at him nervously. "Are they going to be able to help? We’re running out of time."Nathan didn’t answer immediately, his eyes narrowing as he focused on the road ahead. "Yes. Just give them a few minutes. Simpson's men are close by."Some time later, they were still being pursued by Danvers security, unable to shake them. B
Liam stood frozen in the doorway, his breath caught in his throat as his gaze darted from the panick stricken doctors to Elena. She was lying on the bed, looking still and lifeless.The beeping of the heart monitor echoed in his ears, sharp and irregular. He had been gone for only a few minutes, but it felt like a lifetime. Something was terribly wrong already. What happened when he was gone? He didn't know, but he was very worried for Elena and his baby."Is she going to be okay?" Liam asked, his voice was barely above a whisper as he asked the doctors. His eyes searched their faces for an answer, but no one seemed willing to give. They were too focused on Elena.Doctor Grant, focused and calm despite the chaos, didn't look up as he adjusted the machines. "We're doing everything we can, Mr Danvers. I suggest you go outside sir."Liam's stomach twisted with anxiety. He felt like he shouldn't leave Elena and the baby’s side, but he knew the doctors needed space to work. Reluctantly, h
At the same time, Irene and Alvin Danvers arrived outside the hospital room, accompanied by Doctor Grant.The doctor Grant was telling them about Elena's health and the risks she could face on her way to recovery. He spoke calmly, his tone professional yet reassuring. “So far, there have been no complications. She should recover well.”Alvin Danvers voice was composed as usual, but laced with concern as he enquired“And the pregnancy? Is the baby going to be okay?”“Yes, we believe so,” Doctor Grant replied, nodding his head. “But even with all indications being positive, we can’t be completely sure there won’t be complications. It’s something we’ll need to monitor closely.”"That's such a relief, that she is better," Irene Danvers sighed, her tension slightly easing. As much as she and the Danvers family didn't like Elena, they were worried about her, because she was carrying, potentially the future heir to the Danvers empire. Irenes brows furrowed again as she asked, “What other ris
Slipping into the room, Nathan’s eyes were fixed on Elena with a cold, predatory intensity. Not even seeing her in the state that she was in, made him feel bad for her. It was a testament of how much hatred he had built up for her, ever since the betrayal.The door clicked shut softly behind him. As he approached the bed, his footsteps were slow and deliberate. His gaze roamed over her pale face. He stood by the bed, glaring down at her unconscious body. At first, his facial expression was casual, as if he were merely observing something boring. But then, suddenly, his demeanor shifted. His eyes softened, and his brow furrowed in an almost sorrowful way. The rapid change in his emotions was unusual and unsettling. It was as though two opposing emotions: cold detachment and remorse battled within him, each fighting for dominance. Well, Elena was someone whom he used to consider family, and loved so of course he was going to be feeling bad and guilty, but at the same time he hated h
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
