Liam looked at her confusedly, and without saying anything, Mia held his hand and led him to another section of the room.

She shot him a warm smile, reached the top shelf, and brought out a small tiny box.

Liam stared at her curiously, “What’s this?”

“I don’t know. My grandfather bought it years ago. He said it belonged to your family and he couldn’t let it get into the wrong hands.” Liam became intrigued and slowly grabbed the box from Mia. He shifted his gaze towards her once more and then slowly opened the box. His eyes widened as he saw the item in the box - a tiny crystal vial.

“What is it?” Mia asked.

“I don’t know.” He said.

“If it’s something that belonged to my family, there should be some clue about what it is,” he paused and slowly returned the vial to the box, “I’ll find out what it is. Thank you, Mia.”

Mia nodded and they stood in silence for a while. Clearing his throat, Liam turned to leave, but just before he got to the door, Mia’s voice sounded in his ear, “Uhm, Liam?

  • What Comes Next

    The next morning, Liam and Mia’s new home beamed with sunlight and flashed across the bed between them. Mia opened her eyes slowly, blinking against the soft light and for a moment, she forgot where she was, but then she turned her head and saw Liam lying next to her, his arm wrapped gently around her waist, eyes already open.“You’re awake.” He said with a half smile.“You were watching me sleep,” Mia asked, half amused, half shy.“Yes I was,” Liam replied. “I still can’t believe this is real. I still can’t believe that we’re truly finally here.”She smiled and buried her face into his shoulder softly. “It is, Liam. After everything that we’ve fought through, we’ve finally made it real.”They stayed like that for a while, and this time, there was no rush, no calls, no meetings. Just the quiet peace of morning and the feeling of finally being home. Eventually, they got out of bed that morning and wandered into the kitchen. Liam stood there, brewing coffee while Mia leaned on the count

  • Together At Last

    The city had finally gone quiet and for once, Liam didn’t have to look over his shoulder. There was no press chasing him, no Tribunal waiting for a reaction, no enemies watching. It felt strange, but in a good way.Mia sat beside him in the back seat of Jack’s car, blindfolded and full of questions. Liam told her he had a surprise for her, but that he wouldn’t let her know until they got there.Mia sat calmly in the back seat, but her curiosity was growing by the minute and finally she could not handle it anymore and blurted out, “Liam, if you make me wear this thing for five more minutes, I’m going to scream,” she warned, a teasing edge in her voice.Liam chuckled. “Just trust me. We’re almost there.” He said.Jack who was driving up front, smirked but stayed silent. Liam had told him to take the long route. He wanted this moment to feel right—not rushed, not part of the chaos they’d just escaped. This time, it was just going to be them.“Is this one of those weird Liam surprises?” M

  • The Redemption of Liam King

    Liam held Mia’s hand tightly, the quiet strength between them louder than any speech. They stood outside the main estate hall, their eyes locked in a deep soulful gaze. The city lights sparkled in the distance as if the night itself was waiting, but just then Mia’s phone buzzed. She glanced down at the screen, breaking the moment between them and then exhaled slowly, her eyes softening.“It’s from Lord Steven,” she said, her eyes narrowing in curiosity.Liam looked at her and then asked. “What did he say?”Mia smiled faintly, shifting her gaze back to him. “After my speech, the family council held another vote. Unanimous this time, and it’s official. They’ve accepted me as head of the Stevens family.” She said and paused for a moment, as if she still needed time for the words to settle.Liam’s brows lifted slightly, and a proud grin tugged at the edge of his mouth. “You did it.”“No,” she said, squeezing his hand. “We did. If it wasn’t for your push and grandpa’s I don’t think I would

  • Setting the Record Straight

    Meanwhile, across the city, the air was thick with tension as Liam waited in the quiet, dim café. His fingers tapped lightly against the side of his coffee cup. He had made up his mind, and knew exactly what he had to do. He didn’t want to drag this meeting out longer than necessary.Natalie walked in a few minutes later, dressed in a stunning blue bodycon dress, her heels clicking sharply against the floor. She was all smiles at first, sliding into the seat across from him like she owned the space between them.“I wasn’t sure if you’d actually come,” she said sweetly, tossing her hair over her shoulder.Liam leaned back, arms crossed and jaw tight, “This isn’t going to take long.” He said firmly.Natalie blinked in shock, then her smile slipped slightly. “What do you mean, Liam?” She asked sweetly, but clearly disturbed.“I’m here to make things clear,” Liam said, voice steady and sharp. “Whatever story you’ve been building in your head or in the media between us, it ends now. I have

  • Crossroads

    Liam sat alone in his car, staring through the windshield at nothing. He thought a drive might help him to clear his head and figure out what he needed to do. The city lights blurred against the night sky, but he barely noticed, his mind had been elsewhere.Vaughn’s words kept circling his mind like a ghost.“You still don’t know what she’s capable of.” The words echoed again.Liam could not help but wonder, was he talking about Natalie? Mia? Or himself?He leaned his head back against the seat and sighed in frustration. His hands tightened on the steering wheel as everything replayed in his head again — Natalie’s games, the way she slid into his life like she had every right, made his stomach twist. But even though he knew he could go to Michael Young and ask him to keep his daughter on a leash, the mere thought of it seemed too unsettling. And Mia…The way she had looked at him tonight, like she didn’t know him anymore, had hurt him deeper than he thought it would have. He had stopp

  • The Silent Rift

    After the verdict from the court was announced, Liam didn’t wait around. He returned to the safe house quickly to reconvene with his team and figure out their next approach and move. That afternoon, he paced back and forth across his office, his phone still pressed tightly against his ear in frustration. He’d been trying to get to Mia all this time to share her the good news, but couldn’t. Her line rang again and then went to another voicemail. “Mia, it’s me,” he said, voice low. “Please call me back.” He said and hung up, staring at the phone like it might suddenly ring. But it stayed silent.He ran a hand through his hair and blew out a deep breath trying to steady his thoughts. Mia had seen the photo of him with Natalie. He knew it. He felt it in the pit of his stomach. Although it wasn’t what she might have thought it meant, the media had again spun the narrative to suggest that she and Liam were romantically involved.Before he could sink deeper into frustration, a message buzzed
