Chapter 18: The Reckoning Begins

Liam’s grip tightened around his phone as he ended the call with Reese. She had given him the latest on Aria’s father, Charles Weston, who had intensified his threats. It was clear Charles wasn't bluffing, and he was prepared to go to any length to punish Liam for holding Aria. This wasn’t just business anymore; it was personal.

Leaning back in his office chair, Liam felt the weight of the situation pressing down on him. He had known that dealing with the Westons would bring complications, but he hadn’t anticipated it would reach this level. Aria's reckless actions were now spiraling into a full-blown war between families and companies. But Liam was determined—he wouldn’t let Charles Weston control his life, and he certainly wouldn’t let anyone endanger Chelsea again.

The next morning, Chelsea sat up in her hospital bed, slightly wincing as the faint ache in her head reminded her of the fall. Reese was seated beside her, flipping through a magazine

    Chapter 19: Under SiegeLiam paced in his office, his jaw clenched as he replayed the words of Charles Weston over and over in his head. The man had called with an ultimatum, his voice cold and dripping with venom. “Let my daughter go, Liam, or I’ll make sure your mother and grandmother suffer the consequences.”The threat hit its mark. As much as Liam loathed the idea of bowing to Charles’s demands, he knew he couldn’t risk his family’s safety. Charles was a man of influence and ruthlessness, capable of anything. Liam slammed his fist on the desk in frustration, anger simmering beneath his calm exterior.Just then, Reese walked into the room, her usual confident expression tempered by concern. She’d heard parts of the conversation and understood the position Liam was in.“What are you going to do?” she asked softly, placing a steadying hand on his shoulder.Liam let out a weary sigh. “I don’t have a choice. I have to let Aria go.”Reese nodded, understanding the weight of his decisio

    Chapter 20: Tensions RisingLiam couldn’t shake the feeling of dread that clung to him since Aria’s release. As he sat in his office the following day, he replayed the threats from her father, Charles Weston, over and over in his mind. The man was clearly not one to make empty promises. Liam knew he had to be ready for anything Charles might throw his way, especially after having had to give in to his demand to protect his family.The knock on the door broke his thoughts. “Come in,” he called.Reese stepped inside, her expression serious. “We need to talk,” she said, closing the door behind her.Liam motioned for her to sit. “Is it about Chelsea?”Reese nodded, folding her hands on her lap. “She’s still at the hospital, but the doctors say she’ll be well enough to leave soon. She’s shaken up, but her spirits are high. She’s looking forward to starting her role here.” Reese paused, her eyes narrowing slightly. “But, Liam, we both know this is only going to put her in more danger.”Liam

    Chapter 21: A New Beginning, An Old ObsessionChelsea stretched carefully as she sat on the edge of the hospital bed, savoring the feeling of finally being able to leave. Her injuries had mostly healed, and the doctor had cleared her to go home. Despite the pain and chaos of recent events, Chelsea felt a newfound strength. She was determined to move forward, leaving the ordeal with Aria behind her.Just then, there was a soft knock on the door, and Reese walked in, her smile warm and welcoming. “Hey, ready to go home?”Chelsea grinned, standing up slowly. “More than ready! Thank you for coming, Reese. I really appreciate everything you’ve done.”“You’re family now,” Reese replied, hugging her. “Besides, Liam wanted to be here too. He’s waiting downstairs.”They made their way to the hospital exit together, Chelsea holding onto Reese’s arm for support. Downstairs, Liam was pacing, his face lighting up when he saw them approach.“Chelsea,” he said, stepping forward. His tone was gentle,

    Chapter 22: Stirring Pots and Stirring HeartsDays had passed since the incident Aria caused , and life in the company moved forward. Today, the company’s newest addition, Chelsea, was set to begin her duties as the company chef. Though she wasn’t one to fuss, Chelsea felt a twinge of excitement as she arrived at the kitchen assigned to her—a private space that gave her control over her own workspace, away from the constant hum of the main kitchen.As she entered, she was met by the head chef, a sharp-eyed man with years of experience etched into his lined face. He looked her up and down, then gave her a nod of approval. "Chelsea, right? I’ll be honest with you—we don’t usually get new hires straight into private kitchens. You’ll be responsible for meals for the board and, most importantly, the boss himself, Mr. Liam."Chelsea gave him a respectful nod. “Understood, sir. I’ll do my best.”He gestured to the gleaming counters and well-stocked shelves. “Good. Everything you need is here

    Chapter 23: A peaceful dinner As Charles and his man left, Liam remained frozen, clutching the paper in his hand. His thoughts were chaotic, oscillating between disbelief and a strange, gnawing fear. Aria was the past—this was something he had convinced himself of long ago. But now, with her possible pregnancy looming over him, the lines between past and present blurred.The paper in his hand felt heavy, like it held all his unresolved regrets and mistakes. A part of him wanted to tear it apart, to deny this new reality, but he knew that he couldn't ignore it.Returning to the company, Liam felt the weight of the news pressing on him. The usual rhythm of the day seemed muted. His mind wandered back to Chelsea, and the way she had looked at him earlier, so full of life and hope. He felt an ache, wondering if he could ever have something genuine without his past clawing its way back.When he entered his office, Reese was already there, going over a stack of documents. She looked up and

    Chapter 24:The meet upThe next morning dawned with a crispness in the air that mirrored the tight coil of anxiety in Liam’s stomach. Today, he would face Aria—a confrontation that had been long overdue. He hadn’t slept well, the mix of Charles’s warning and his dinner with Chelsea weighing on his mind. Last night had been a rare respite, a few hours of ease and laughter, but it only made today’s impending tension feel heavier.As he arrived at the café where he and Aria had agreed to meet, he felt a familiar sense of control slide into place. He was Liam, a man who handled challenges head-on. Yet, a part of him wondered if even he was fully prepared for what Aria might throw at him.He spotted her instantly; Aria had a presence that drew eyes. Dressed impeccably in a sharp burgundy blouse and tailored pants, she looked every bit the part of a woman who knew how to wield power. She glanced up as he approached, an enigmatic smile curving her lips as she leaned back in her chair.“Liam,

    Chapter 25: Suspecting Charles The next morning, Liam was still shaken from the previous day’s conversation with Aria. Her words lingered, especially the insinuation that her father, Charles, was hiding secrets of his own. Charles had been like a second father to Liam, his mentor and guide through the complexities of his life. But now, doubt gnawed at him. Could there be a side of Charles he didn’t know?He arrived at the café where he’d agreed to meet Charles that morning, determined to get answers. Charles was already seated, his posture relaxed, sipping on a coffee. Despite his usual calm, there was a sharpness in his gaze, as if he was studying Liam’s every move.“Liam,” Charles greeted with a warm smile, gesturing for him to sit. “I wasn’t expecting you so early.”Liam took a seat, his expression steeled. “We need to talk.”Charles raised an eyebrow, but his smile didn’t falter. “I thought that’s why we’re here.”There was a pause, tension thickening the air between them. “I met

    Chapter 26: Seeing through his facade.The following afternoon, Liam parked outside his mother’s house, the grand facade as familiar as his childhood memories. He took a deep breath, glancing in the rearview mirror as if to steady himself. Visiting his mother often left him feeling exposed—she could see through every façade he put up, every wall he tried to build. But he was here for his grandmother, who had been unwell lately, and he needed to make sure she was alright.Entering the house, he was greeted by the scent of fresh flowers and the quiet hum of the housekeepers bustling around. His mother, elegant and composed as always, was waiting in the living room. Her eyes softened when she saw him.“Liam, dear,” she greeted, embracing him warmly. “It’s good to see you. Grandma is resting upstairs; the nurse says she’s been stable.”He nodded, feeling a wave of relief. "That’s good. I was worried."His mother gave him a knowing look, the kind that made him feel like he was twelve again

    Chapter 78: A Woman’s InstinctThe sound of heels clicking against marble echoed through the hallway as Chelsea and Liam exited the office hand in hand. Their fingers were tightly entwined, and the soft smile on Liam’s lips said it all,he wasn’t just leaving work, he was leaving with the woman who currently held his heart.As they approached the elevator, Chelsea pressed the button and leaned slightly into his arm, stealing a glance at him. He looked relaxed for once—something rare since his return. She smiled to herself, savoring the small victory of having his attention, even for a few hours.But the peace shattered when Valerie’s sharp voice rang through the corridor.“Mr. Hemsworth!” she called, jogging toward them in her nude heels, a thick manila file in her hand. “I have some documents that urgently require your signature.”Liam turned slightly, his expression slipping into one of impatience. “Valerie, not now. I need to leave. You can handle it tomorrow.”She stepped closer, h

    Chapter 77: A ReunionThe ocean waves crashed gently against the shore as Reese stood on the sand, her heart pounding with urgency. The salty breeze tangled in her hair, but she hardly noticed as she scanned the vast stretch of the beach, hoping to find him.She had checked the docks, the nearby restaurants, even asked around the hotels lining the beachfront. Every time she showed a picture of Gerald, she was met with the same response,no one had seen him.Frustration and desperation clawed at her. What if she was too late? What if he had already left? The thought sent a sharp pang through her chest.Reese clenched her phone in her hand, her fingers trembling slightly. She had never chased after a man before, had never allowed herself to be so vulnerable. But this wasn’t just any man. This was Gerald.Taking a deep breath, she turned towards the ocean, her eyes blurring with unshed tears. Maybe it was foolish to come here. Maybe she had miscalculated everything.Then, just as she was

Every few minutes, she would sigh, glance at her phone, then shake her head as if shaking away whatever thought had taken hold of her.Chelsea, who had been lounging on Reese’s bed, watched with growing amusement. "You know, for someone who claims she wants nothing to do with Gerald, you sure look like someone going through a crisis over him."Reese stopped in her tracks, narrowing her eyes. "I am not having a crisis."Chelsea raised an eyebrow. "No? Then why are you acting like a lovesick teenager?"Reese huffed, running a hand through her hair. "I just... I don’t know, okay? He keeps appearing in my life, and now he’s leaving. It’s just... weird."Chelsea smirked. "Weird? Or something else?"Reese shot her a glare before flopping onto the bed. "You're impossible."After a few moments of silence, Reese finally admitted, "Gerald is leaving tonight."Chelsea’s expression so

His mind was already occupied with the ongoing company projects when the door swung open. His mother, Olivia Hudson, walked in, her expression unreadable.He leaned back in his chair, watching her as she gracefully took a seat across from him. "To what do I owe this surprise visit, Mother?"Marina folded her arms, her gaze sharp. "I wanted to talk to you about your father’s health."Adams’ fingers stopped moving. He straightened slightly. "His health?"She nodded. "I traced his calls—every single one of them. Ever since you found out he was dying, I became curious."His eyes narrowed. "How long have you known?""A few years," Marina admitted, her voice calm but firm. "Two years before your marriage, to be precise."Adams clenched his jaw, his mind working through the implications. "And who did you trace the calls to?"His mother took a deep breath before speaking. "Liam’s

It had been a long day at work, and while she had expected to see Liam at the office, he hadn’t shown up. She knew why,he needed time to process what his mother had told him about his father.Dropping her bag onto the couch, she kicked off her heels and stretched, rolling the tension from her shoulders. The silence in the apartment felt strange. Usually, Reese was home by now, but the place was eerily empty.Where could she be?Shrugging, Chelsea made her way to the bedroom to freshen up. She changed into comfortable lounge wear, tying her hair up in a messy bun before heading to the kitchen. As she started gathering ingredients for dinner, the distant hum of an approaching car caught her attention.She hesitated, then walked toward the window, peeking through the curtains. A sleek black car had pulled up outside, and stepping out o

Kim asked, her voice laced with concern. "Going to meet him alone might not be the best idea. What if he’s dangerous?"Reese let out a soft chuckle, shaking her head. "Kim, I need to do this. I need to know what happened to Jeremy how he survived all these years and why he never reached out."Kim sighed, crossing her arms. "And what if his family doesn’t even know he’s alive?""Then I’ll find out the truth," Reese said firmly. She turned to face Kim. "I totally understand your concern, but I have to give this a shot. If there's even the slightest chance that I can get answers, I have to take it."Kim studied her for a moment before nodding. "Alright, but be careful. If anything feels off, call me immediately."Reese smiled. "I promise."A few minutes later, she was stepping into her car, gripping the steering w

He hadn’t been here in months, avoiding unnecessary family drama as much as possible. However, after last night’s call, he knew he couldn’t ignore his mother forever.As he stepped inside, the scent of freshly brewed coffee and warm croissants filled the air. His mother, Eleanor, sat at the dining table, gracefully sipping her tea, while his grandmother, Beatrice, flipped through a newspaper.Eleanor looked up and smiled. “Liam, you came.”He sighed, taking a seat. “You asked me to.”“Join us for breakfast,” she said, pushing a plate of food toward him.Liam hesitated for a moment but eventually picked up his fork. He wasn’t particularly hungry, but if this was a way to get the conversation going, so be it.His grandmother eyed him over her glasses. “You look tired.”“I’m fine,” he muttered.Eleanor set her cup down, looking at him intently. “Liam, I

She scrolled through her notifications and saw a text from Chelsea that had been sent late last night.Chelsea: Hey, Reese. Just wanted to let you know I’ll be spending the night at Liam’s place. Don’t wait up for me.Reese sighed, placing her phone on the nightstand. She wasn’t surprised things had been heating up between Chelsea and Liam, but something about the entire situation felt… off. Shaking the thought away, she decided to focus on something else.She picked up her phone again and dialed Kim. As soon as she answered, Reese said, “Come over. We’re going to find out who Gerald Hudson really is.”Kim hesitated for a second. “Are you sure about this?

Aria, who had been standing frozen after Liam’s harsh words, turned toward her father in shock.“Dad?” she whispered, her voice barely above a breath.Charles gave her a once-over before turning his gaze to Liam. “What the hell is going on here?”Liam stood his ground, arms crossed over his chest. “You’re here to take your daughter home.”Aria’s shock morphed into rage as she turned back to Liam. “You’re really throwing me out like this? After everything? I should be here, well taken care of, but instead, you’re treating me like I mean nothing to you?”Liam’s expression didn’t waver. “That’s because you don’t mean anything to me, Aria.”She gasped, her eyes filling with tears. “You don’t mean that…”“I do,” Liam replied coldly. “And you shouldn’t bother coming back here because I’ll make sure the guards know you’re no longer welcome.”Aria clenched her fists. “You
