That rapist? The man's words echoed in Liam's head. The word hit him like a punch to the gut. Liam frowned as he watched the man approaching him, getting too close to him. The café, which had been a brief sanctuary, suddenly felt threatening. Suddenly after the man called Liam a rapist, the people in the cafe all began to turn their eyes towards Liam, whispers rippling through the small crowd. Liam's fists clenched, there was nothing worse than being called those words he was being called right now. And it just made him resent the person who had flamed him of it even more, Selena, she needed to be taught a lesson.Liam’s heart pounded, his fists clenched tight. He could feel the weight of everyone’s gaze, judging him, believing the lies they’d heard on TV. He forced himself to stand unbothered, not letting the accusation affect him at all. They weren't true to begin with so why let them affect him?“You’ve got it wrong,” he said, his voice steady but strained. “That’s a lie.”“Oh,
The sun shine brightly in the sky, casting a golden tone over the bustling entrance of Multiversal Studios, where sleek black SUVs and luxury cars lined up beneath the towering palms. Media crews, paparazzi, and reporters swarmed the scene, their equipment glinting in the sunlight, all clearly waiting for one thing, Liam Danvers. With the scandal surrounding him it was expected.Suddenly, the roar of a powerful engine cut through the noise as a sleek, limited-edition Lamborghini pulled up in front of the studio entrance. In an instant, the calm air turned to chaos. Cameras flashed in a relentless frenzy, and reporters surged forward, voices rising in a cacophony of questions. All eyes were on the car.The person who had arrived in the sleek car was of course Liam. Liam sighed deeply, frustration coursing through him as he noticed the media outside. He had anticipated this chaotic scene, but knowing it was coming didn’t lessen his annoyance. The weight of the media’s scrutiny felt su
The day flew by as Liam buried himself in his work, determined to keep his mind off the whirlwind of chaos surrounding his life. What bothered him the most was Selena. He knew he’d eventually have to confront Selena’s lies, but for now, focusing on his responsibilities was the best way to maintain his composure. He’d deal with the accusations in due time, but today, his attention belonged to work.As noon approached, Liam decided it was time to take a break from his work and shift his focus. The constant pressure of his responsibilities as the CEO of multiversal studios wasn’t enough to drown out the chaos swirling around him, especially the persistent thoughts of Selena’s lies. No matter how hard he tried to immerse himself in tasks, those accusations stuck to him, like a shadow he couldn't shake. Everywhere he turned, the scandal followed, broadcasted across news outlets, and plastered all over the internet. His phone buzzed constantly with notifications, and when he checked most o
Mrs. Wolfe, her gaze still fixed on the screen, shook her head. "I always knew there was something off about him. This just proves it." Her tone was icy, dripping with the satisfaction of being proven right. She didn't care if this was the truth about Liam or not, to her this was an opportunity to make Karen finally forget about him and get married to Jeremy without any objection.Karen was still processing everything, but she didn’t respond to her mom. Instead, she stared at the news, flashes of memories rushing back into her mind, and memories of their relationship. She knew that Liam wasn't the good person he had always pretended to be, he was actually a jerk, but this? This was something else entirely. She couldn’t imagine Liam doing such a thing, yet there it was, plastered across every screen.The reporter's voice echoed through the room, detailing the shocking accusations against Liam and the media frenzy that followed. Karen's gaze remained fixed on the TV, absorbing every wor
Despite being rejected by Karen numerous times, Jeremy had always convinced himself that she was just playing hard to get, and he continued to pursue her relentlessly.Karen was sick of it to her stomach. She had grown tired of his persistence, the way he was, smug and confident that one day she’d change her mind. But she didn’t know how to make him leave her alone, not when her family was encouraging him to pursue her at every turn, eager to push her into a relationship with him. It seemed that her mother, in particular, had made it her mission to see Karen married off to someone like Jeremy, all because he came from a wealthy family.And that was something Karen could never understand. Why did her mother want her to marry into wealth so badly when their family was already more than rich enough? They had far more than Jeremy’s family ever could, yet her mother seemed blind to that fact, obsessed with the idea of securing Karen’s future through status and wealth something Karen didn’t
The comparison of Liam and Jeremy was calculated, meant to remind Karen that Liam could never measure up to someone like Jeremy, especially now that Liam had been exposed for what he was. Karen having had enough, walked out on them, and she didn't turn back even after her mom called for her to come back. Meanwhile, Liam arrived at the clinic.When Liam entered inside the clinic, the soft hum of monitors and the sterile scent of antiseptic filled the air. He made his way through the halls, stopping briefly at the door of Mr. Carrington's room. Rachel was already inside, sitting beside the bed, her soft gaze fixed on the old man who was still asleep. Liam opened the door slightly and stepped inside, careful not to disturb the stillness of the room. He didn’t announce his presence immediately, instead taking a moment to observe Rachel. She seemed lost in thought, probably feeling worried for the old man. The moment she noticed him, her lips curved into a gentle smile. She had a beau
Taken off guard by Ethan's question, Liam froze for a second. His expression hardened slightly, but he kept his composure. He understood Ethan’s concerns and didn’t want to escalate the situation.This was just one of the consequences of having his name dragged through the mud. Now everyone was going to be looking at him differently. The thought made Liam even more determined to fix everything, though for now, he had no idea how. There was no concrete proof to show that Selena was lying."I get it," Liam said, keeping his voice calm. "You’ve seen the headlines, and you have every reason to be cautious. But I’m not here with any bad intentions toward your family. Whatever the news is saying, it’s not the truth."He paused, meeting Ethan’s gaze directly. "I'm just here to check on Mr. Carrington. That’s all. I have no interest in causing trouble for your family." He meant it. He genuinely wanted to help them navigate through their problems, especially since they were dealing with Alexan
The main reason was that, she knew exactly who Selena was. She had almost believed the stories about Liam on the news the first time she had heard. However the moment she saw that the person who Liam had allegedly attempted to assault was Selena, she immediately was skeptical to believe the stories.Knowing who Selena was, she knew that Selena was a notorious social climber with a reputation for manipulation. Aretha had crossed paths with Selena before and knew of her schemes, especially when it came to wealthy men like Liam. Seeing Selena as the accuser had immediately set off red flags in Aretha’s mind, making her skeptical of the entire story from the start.Aretha gave Liam a reassuring nod. "No need to thank me. I know exactly who she is. You wouldn’t believe it, but Selena and I used to be friends. We went to college together. I know her well enough to realize you’ve been framed."Liam blinked, clearly taken aback by the revelation. Never would he had thought that Aretha would k
