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
It was 9 o'clock In the morning, inside the luxurious Lopez mansion, in the kitchen.A young man, in his early twenties, stared hard at his wristwatch. A frown made its way to his face when he saw the time on his wrist watch, two hours had passed, and he was still far from finishing his chores.The young man's name was Liam Steinfeld and he was the live-in son -in-law of the Lopez family.Taking his eyes off his wristwatch Liam sighed irritably as he stared at the dirty dishes that needed cleaning. And after that, he still needed to wash his wife's clothes.Being a live-in son-in-law, Liam had to cook, clean, take his in-laws kids to school, and do all the housework for the Lopez family. Not only that, but he also had to endure a lot of insults from the whole family, even the maids and butlers were above him in the house. His life had become a living hell ever since he stepped foot in the mansion."Liam, clean my bedroom and wash the kids' clothes!" A female voice from the living room
"Ow, what's that for?" Liam exclaimed, feeling pain on the spot where his mother in-law hit him with a bottle.Taking his eyes off his mother in law, Liam lowered his gaze and looked at the bottle that Mrs. Lopez just hit him with, then he shifted his gaze to look at her with a cold expression that sent shivers down her spine. He was sick of The Lopez's hitting him whenever they wanted."What was that for?" He asked in a low and soft tone. Scoffing, Mrs Lopez pointed her index finger at him as she said. "Divorce my daughter, or I'll make your life a living hell! You're wasting her time! Tell me what could you give her Liam? You're just a nobody with no one in his life so divorce my daughter or I'll make your life a living hell! And mark my words, when I say 'I'll make you regret trapping my daughter', I really mean it… I'll make you wish you never met her." Mrs Lopez warned word by word, making sure Liam gets the word through his useless head. And then she stormed out of the kitchen.
Xavier's punch had so much force that Liam stumbled back, he nearly fell when Xavier punched him in the stomach making him gasp for air. Liam groaned as he dropped to one knee, and his nose started bleeding.He touched his nose, and he could feel he had touched blood on his nose which just made him mad. Taking his hand off his bloody nose, Liam looked at Xavier. Feeling rage built up inside of him.Clenching his fists, Liam glared at Xavier, something telling him to fight back. But he didn't, because he knew that would only make it worse for him, Xavier was bigger than him, and he was an experienced fighter. But still if Liam tolerated Xavier this time too, Xavier would never learn, he was going to keep on treating him like a punching bag, and he was tired of being a punching bag. Only if there was a way to teach this stupid family a lesson."Stop, I didn't do it Xavier, your wife did!" Liam explained, shifting his gaze to look at Ella.Shivers ran through Ella's spine after hearing
As Liam was taking a shower, Erin walked inside the bedroom, carrying shopping bags in her hands.One of the things Erin liked to do was shopping. But who could judge her? She used her own money to buy whatever she wanted, unlike her other siblings who still relied on their parents' money.When Erin walked in her bedroom, she was surprised, angry and disgusted to see a bloody shirt on the floor."Liam, you son of a bitch!" She angrily called out his name. "Liam! Get these bloody clothes out of my bedroom now!" She demanded.Almost immediately, Liam walked out of the bathroom, he had wrapped a towel around himself, and he picked up the shirt. Knowing that even though the shirt was bloody now, it will be good after he washes it. Not like he could afford new clothes anyways. He didn't have the money to buy new clothes. He had tried to get a job, but it wasn't possible to work, due to the work that the Lopez's gave him, he usually spent the whole day working the house.Erin noticed the wo
