Liam donned his tie and stood in front of his mirror, checking to see if anything was wrong with his appearance. He caught a stray curl with his hands and straightened it back. Today, unlike any other day, he decided to go with his dark blue Armani suit and white pristine shirt. He had always been told how the blue suit does fantasy to his eyes and makes women swoon over him. Not that he wanted any woman to swoon over him. He wanted his wife. And he wanted her like he had never wanted any woman before. Picking up his briefcase, Liam strolled to the door and paused to glance around the room once again. He couldn’t believe his wife was now sharing his bedroom with him. He had never been able to sleep with a woman in the same room but he had last night. And it was such a surprise to him that he couldn’t help thinking about it even at the breakfast table. Turning away from the room, Liam walked to the door and opened it, stepping out into the foyer as he took the stairs down. He was surp

“ I can't believe you just did that” Belinda fumes as she glared at her husband who made no move to pacify her. Instead, he stood with his head bowed inside the elevator.“ You could have said something, anything to keep him from kicking us out of the company_____”“ Or you could have informed me before taking out such a huge sum of money from the company's account. Five million? What's in God's name did you even use the money for?” Mr. Clinton turned to snap at his wife who pulled her face up in a frown and adjusted her handbag.“ I meant to replace it sooner. I didn't know he would notice it” She replied just as the elevator's door dinged, ushering them into the reception.They both strode out with anger in their stride. Just before Mr. Clinton got into his car, he stood gazing at the company he had spent almost all his years building from scratch with his brother. He had dedicated all his life and spending into this company only to be kicked out of it like a dog. No way! He wouldn'

Maya was about to comment on Doctor Gordon's greeting, but was cut short by Liam, who said, “It's Mrs. Powell for you, doctor Gordon.”Doctor Gordon stares at Liam with confusion on his face, unable to comprehend Liam's words. Does he mean Mrs. Powell was sick? But the Mrs. Powell, they all knew who was Liam's mother died in a plane crash with her husband. And the youngest Powell, Liam, hasn't married since. What does the youngest Powell mean? Doctor Gordon wondered in his mind as he stared at Liam, his face pulling up in a frown.“I mean _____.”“We are married now, Doctor.” Maya rushed to correct the doctor, cutting off his comment.The doctor's eyes widened in shock as he stared from one to the other, wondering if they were lying. Last time he checked, Liam and Maya Bank were at odds with each other. What has changed now? Could they perhaps be in love with each other? Or was this perhaps about the article and rumours that had been circulating in the cities for some weeks now?At a

Liam staggered to the elevator and pressed the key to the penthouse. He didn't want to risk being seen by anyone, especially not in this state.The door opened and he walked into it, he pressed it close and watched Noah running over. Liam stopped the elevator with his foot and called to him“ Go home, Noah. I don't need you here to babysit me” Noah looked at the boss, a feeling of sadness enveloping him. He hated to see the boss like this. He didn't know what to say, which was why he nodded and turned back towards the parking lot where his car was parked. He got into it and drove off, hoping the boss would be okay. Maybe being alone will finally help him to sort out his problems.Liam sighs as he lets go of the elevator door and rests his head on the wall, letting his bag drop to the floor with a loud thud.He held his head as he thought back to that night. He would give anything to change everything. To make everything right. If only he didn't make that phone call.“What do you mean

“And what's wrong with my favourite daughter-in-law, today?” Maya turned toward Mr. Powell with a smile on her face. She saw him descend the stairs from the other side of the room. She stood up and went toward him, wiping the frown from her face.“Why Grandpa, I'm your only daughter-in-law?” Maya told Liam's grandfather as he chuckled and put his arms around her shoulder, letting her guide him to the couch.“Of course, and you are my favourite”“So, what's wrong with you? You've been moody since she came back from the office ” Mr. Mason asked his daughter-in-law as he turned to watch her frown before taking her eyes off him.“It's nothing, grandfather,” Maya replied with a shrug. How could she explain to Liam's grandfather that she was jealous of Clarissa, a faceless woman who calls Liam every time they are together?Liam's grandfather looked at her with a slight twitch of his eyebrows which shows he didn't believe her but he didn't press her on it instead, he brought out an album an
