After some time, Liam exchanged contact information with Aretha and Ethan, telling them to call him if anything came up. He assured them again that he would do everything he could to help and urged them to stay alert and cautious. With a final nod to Mr. Carrington and a polite smile to Rachel and the others, Liam made his way out of the building. As Liam stepped outside of Mr Carringtons apartment, he noticed that it was already evening. It was dark already. He checked the time on his wrist watch and he realized that he had spent almost two hours at the Carrington’s place. He took a deep breath, letting the cool evening air clear his mind as he walked toward his car. The street was quiet, and he took a moment to scan his surroundings, making sure everything looked normal. Given what he knew about how the Mafia's operated, it wouldn’t have surprised him to spot a suspicious vehicle lingering nearby, maybe parked at the end of the block, its occupants secretly watching his every mo
After Liam was done working out, he took a quick shower. Coming out of the shower feeling refreshed, he dressed in a casual shirt and jeans. After that he headed downstairs, ready to join his family for breakfast.As he walked into the dining room, the space felt light and welcoming. Sunlight streamed in through the tall, opulent windows. His mother, father, and sister were already seated at the table, waiting for him. The aroma of freshly made coffee and warm pastries filled the room, mingling with the scent of fresh flowers from a vase in the center of the table.The chefs were moving around doing their jobs, serving an array of breakfast options, fluffy omelets, fruit platters, and fresh croissants. Liam nodded at them in greeting, before he continued to the dining table “Good morning,” Liam greeted his family as he pulled a chair for himself and took a seat next to Megan.“Morning, Liam,” his mother, Irene, said with a warm smile.“You’re up early, as always.” Alvin, his dad sai
Liam eventually forced himself to not think about Karen anymore by focusing his mind somewhere else. It had been three months since they broke up, yet he still found himself still thinking about her from time to time, and he really wished he could forget her completely and go on.She probably already had moved on. For all he knew, she might be seeing someone new. Jeremy, maybe? After all, her mom had always pushed her toward him. The thought twisted something inside him, but he quickly shoved it aside, refusing to dwell on what was no longer his concern.After some time, when he’d finished his breakfast, Liam excused himself from the table. He got ready for the day. He dressed himself in a crimson colored tailored suit before heading out for work. A little while later, Liam arrived at Multiversal Studios and made his way inside the building through his private entrance after parking his vehicle. As he walked down the quiet corridor, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. Before he c
Liam nodded in response to Mr. Blackthorn's remark that they had much to discuss. Despite being worried, on the outside, he appeared calm, but inwardly he was already on high alert, his mind racing with questions. What could they possibly have to discuss? Liam needed Mr Blackthorn's help to get the ring back from the shadow court, so he wanted to be cautious when dealing with him. The mysterious book had warned him that failure to recover the ring would result in dire consequences, not just for him but potentially for those he cared about. And that was the reason he viewed Mr Blackthorn as somewhat important and didn't want to make an enemy out of him.According to Caesar, Mr. Blackthorn was not happy with Liam’s recent actions, actions that had apparently disrupted his business. But Liam had no idea what those actions were, and he hoped Blackthorn would shed some light on the situation. Whatever it was, he hoped it could be resolved peacefully; he couldn't afford to have Mr. Blackth
At the moment, it didn’t matter to Liam if him going against Mr Blackthorn to help Rachel and the Carrington family would come back to bite him in the ass at some point in his life. It was true that the shadow court was now trying to take him out after they got the ring. Although they had successfully taken the ring from him, they still viewed him as a threat to their plans. And it was not just him but the whole Danvers family. The Danvers were the only ones capable of wielding the ring, but even among them, it had to be a particular Danvers, a chosen one. The ring's full power could only be unlocked by that individual, someone destined by both bloodline and fate, like Liam. This added another layer of complications and danger, as the chosen Danvers held the key to a power that could shift the balance of everything.For the Shadow Court, this made the Danvers family their greatest threat. If the ring were to fall into the hands of the chosen Danvers, their carefully laid plans would
As he got outside, Liam got in his car and left immediately. Driving down the road, Liam's eyes were focused on the road, however his mind was somewhere else, occupied by everything that was going on in his life. The end of his alliance with Mr Blackthorn meant that he had less chances of getting the ring back. While he still had the support of Adriana and George, he wasn't very confident that he could succeed with them.His mind was filled with uncertainty when the sudden buzz of his phone snapped him out of his thoughts. He glanced at the screen, recognizing his mother’s name. Letting out a weary sigh, he reluctantly answered the call through his earbuds. “Hi mom,”“Liam!” His mother’s voice echoed in his ears through the speaker, sharp and laced with frustration, catching him off guard. He immediately knew something was wrong judging by her upset tone. “Elena called me,” she continued, her tone accusatory. “She said you’ve been ignoring her calls! Is that true?”Liam slowed down,
MeanwhileAfter almost thirty minutes of driving, the clinic came into view and Liam slowed the car and pulled into the parking lot. He sat in the car for a while, staring blankly at the building for a moment before shutting off the engine. He sat there for another few seconds, contemplating whether he was ready to face the uncomfortable reality waiting inside. He had never thought deeply of this, but now he was getting hit with the reality of expecting a child, honestly he didn't know if he was ready for that, and the fact that of all people the person he was going to share a child with was Elena made it even more frustrating. He didn't want to share a child with Elena, but he had no choice.With a final sigh, Liam grabbed his jacket off the passenger seat and exited the car. He walked to the entrance. As soon as he stepped through the door, the sharp scent of disinfectant hit his nose. The air was cool, mixed with the chemical sterility that held on to every corner of the clinic. A
Liam and Elena walked out of the checkup room at the same time. As they darted into the hallway, the slightly cold, sterile air of the clinic pressed down on them once more. Liam’s thoughts were still racing from the news of the baby’s gender. A son. A part of him wanted to be excited at the idea of fatherhood, however another part of him told him there was nothing to be happy about. After all, it was Elena he was going to share the kid with, and who knows what storm she was going to cause. At this point, he wasn’t sure how to feel, or how to react. The reality of becoming a father with someone like Elena was sinking in, and it felt heavier than he’d anticipated. It's not like he had thought of being a dad before, since his life was always occupied with a lot of stuff to ever have the time to think about fatherhood. However, still even in his wildest dreams, he never imagined that he would be having a child with someone like Elena. He wouldn't mind having a child with someone else
