In the president's villa, the atmosphere was electric. Banners and flower decorations adorned the wall and the scent of freshly baked pastries wafted through the air as president Andrew prepared to celebrate Liam's appointment as the new deputy minister of works. The president had always envisioned this moment; a culmination of years of hard work, dedication and the legacy he hoped to pass on.As the guests filtered into the grand event hall, chatter and laughter filled the space. Many of the president's cabinet members followed him home for merriment, while the wives of the men of high calibre were not also left out. The president continued to shake hands with people that came to congratulate him, his heart filled with joy and pride. Although his son was stubborn, but he knew he had the potential to be a leader, he was born a ruler.Both party and opposition leaders were also present. Liam was also surrounded with young men of his age. He was introduced to both the happy and unhappy

As he felt the tip of the gun on his head, Desmond knew this was the end of the road for him. The tone with which Scorpion, Liam's friend used in conversing with him earlier had changed, he had figured everything out. It's not something new, after all, he was his friend. “ You tried to pretend to be Liam, but there are some people you can't fool. Liam has been my friend from cradle, so I know everything about him. The way he greets, his body reactions to some situations, his walking steps, oh! You tried to mimic that, but I know my friend. When Ezra contacted me that his boss was behaving weirdly, I thought he was joking. I thought he was also overwhelmed with the recent changes of events, the accident and the likes. But you gave yourself away the moment you called me ‘bro’. Firstly, you couldn't decode the last sentence of the letter, that's our little secret. I expected a different question, but you asked me a foolish one instead. Nobody is allowed to come to this secret room, exce

By midnight, the trio had already finished scheduling their plans. When Desmond explained his mission and revenge plan to Scorpion, he just smiled.“ It seems our plans are similar. Not only will I ruin my uncle, I also want to avenge my parent's death. Although I haven't found any concrete evidence yet, I know their accident wasn't just a mere coincidence”. He brought out a file, then threw it at Desmond:“We will be calling you Liam from now on, let's stick to that. As I said before, nobody else must know about this soul swapping.Let’s start with the establishment and stabilisation of your dream laboratory. We will also plan your Mafia training as well. You will be invited to the base, only when you are needed. I don't want you to pick a fixed date, that will give the enemies a perfect and calculated plan to strike. Let me meet Selene, I need to know the set of people you mingle with. Apart from Ezra, I will send Lucian over, he is one of our most trusted henchmen. You need it more

Liam rushed to sit down as they got to Dr Clement's office. His mind raced, grappling with the revelation Clement had just shared, that the lady he had been so eager to help, was connected to a tragedy that shattered his own family years ago. His heart pounded in his chest as he leaned against the office table for support. The weight of the news felt like a heavy shroud enveloping him. The brain surgery Martha needed was not to be delayed, that's why he was desperate. The first threat to her life needed to be resolved before he started the holistic approach for her leukemia. Moreover, they needed Martha's consent before the commencement, hence the reason he wanted her brain to be functioning well. He didn't know everything would be tainted by her past. He swallowed saliva and he exhaled loudly, hot steam coming out of his nose.Clement thought he was dehydrated, so he rushed to bring water for him.“ Here, take this” , presenting him with a glass of chilled water. “ Thank you” Liam

The three of them walked into Dr Clement's office. As they settled down, Liam was the first person to speak.“Selene,” he said softly, pulling a chair close to her. “We need to talk”She looked up, her eyes red-rimmed and weary. “What is it? Is it about my mother?”“Yes, but it’s also about something much bigger,” Liam said, taking a deep breath. “We need to discuss Director Josh and his reasons for tormenting you.”Selene sat up straighter, her curiosity piqued. “What do you mean? Weren't you aware of his reasons”, she paused to check if Liam grabbed the message. Clement was present, so she was careful with her words. She didn't want him to know about the poison mission given to her by the director.Liam shook his head, “He is just manipulating you for his selfish interest, he has another reason”, he said.Clement shifted his seat beside Liam, his expression serious. “Selene, we’ve uncovered some troubling information about your family’s past and Director Josh's motivations.”Selene’
