The Ingenious Liam Price 185: Enemies Won?
"Hello, Liam. We have a little surprise for you," Hunter returned with a smirk and then he rubbed his hands together as if he just did a job well done."Where's Avery, what have you done to her?" Liam couldn't help but ask because his heart was already quaking in his chest from the fear of losing Avery."You should see for yourself, don't you think?" Hunter still had his smirk resting on his face.And at this, Liam took a rough gulp. Afraid that they had killed Avery Duffer.Gibson and Ted Price returned, and they didn't untie Liam from the chair, afraid if they did, he would gain the strength to fight back. So they just carried him along with the chair and took him into another room in the cabin.And the sight that greeted Liam would have sent him to his feet if he wasn't already tied to the chair.Avery was still unconscious and she had a ticking time bomb to her body."What have you done!?" Liam was already trembling in his seat, he could feel his heart rising to his throat. "Hurr
The Ingenious Liam Price 186: Ticking Time Bomb
"Shit, shit, shit!" Liam swore out loud because he was trying as much as he could to free himself from the ropes, but he could not. He had been trying for the past two minutes and the time bomb on Avery's body was reading 5:22 seconds. And Avery was still unconscious."Avery, wake up!" Liam called out to her.Still nothing. She was unmoving, still in the exact position she was left, while the bomb was still ticking."Wake up, please. You can't die this way. We need to get the bomb from your body. If anyone deserves to live then it's you." The whole room was already smelling like death.And Liam could hear Stevie-lou's sobs from the other room.This was worse than he ever thought.His enemies tricked him, made him sign all his fortune to them and then they ran away, leaving him to die along with the two women who mattered to him.Liam let out a shuddered breath when Avery began stirring until she flicked her eyes open."Avery, can you hear me?" Liam called out to her while she stared
The Ingenious Liam Price 187: Justice
It was sort of hard to leave the Cabin when Avery immediately passed out right after Liam embraced her. And there was Stevie-Lou, who couldn't even walk because of the bullet wound she had. It was completely dark outside, almost past 9 PM and Liam could still hear the sirens from afar. Quickly, he put an unconscious Avery on his back before going over to the other room to check up on Stevie-Lou.She was sitting on the floor, her face was dried with tears and her leg was still bleeding."It's all over, Stevie, I'll get you out of here," Liam said softly but Stevie-Lou couldn't even look at him.Liam put Avery on the floor before hurrying to Stevie-Lou's side so he could cut off the ropes from her body since she was tied to a chair as well."I am so sorry, Liam. It's all my fault," She apologized when Liam finally cut off the last of the ropes, and it was obvious that she felt guilty over luring him there."No, don't apologize. Nothing is your fault," Liam didn't mind. At that moment
The Ingenious Liam Price 188: The End Or A New Beginning?
Three months later."It's a boy," Liam was trying to keep a straight face but he was woefully failing at it."And?" Avery raised a brow as she put some documents aside. She was in her office and Liam just bursted in without even knocking."We did genetic testing and it turns out that he's truly mine," he told the truth at last and fist-pumped the air in excitement."That's great news, Liam. Congratulations," Avery offered Liam a genuine smile but she still remained in her sitting position."It's still incredulous that I have a son," Liam put his hands on his waist and stared at the ceiling."It feels surreal, right?" Avery asked."He was so tiny that I was afraid he'd fall from my arms," Liam blurted out."And the mother, how is she?" Avery swiftly changed the topic."Chloe is still on treatment, she delivered the child through CS," Liam informed her."She needs a lot of rest, it wasn't easy at all," Avery finally left her seat and went to stand beside Liam."I wish it wasn't her but
The Ingenious Liam Price 1: Ill-stinking Luck
"Ha! Fifty bucks and you think you can lecture me?" sneered sixteen-year-old Daisy as she dangled the rope out the window. Liam interrupted her, "It's not right. You should be focusing on your studies, not sneaking around." He grabbed the rope she had left behind and pulled it inside. "What if your parents find out? You have a curfew." Daisy rolled her eyes, "Who cares about being right? Just help me down or I'll tell everyone you tried to harass me." She grinned as she crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm sure my dad would love to press charges for juvenile abuse." Liam was trapped. He couldn't say no or risk his reputation. "You're blackmailing me, Daisy. That's low."She just shrugged, "You're just a lowly gardener. Do you really want me to ruin your life?"He gritted his teeth in frustration. She was right. He had no choice but to meet her demands."Now, here's fifty dollars to keep your mouth shut," Daisy slipped the money into his pocket, "and stay in my bed with the sheets
The Ingenious Liam Price 2: Sad Reality
"Her medications are futile as I speak because her heart condition has grown worse from drug abuse," Doctor Beistein informed Liam.Liam didn't know how to handle this, it was like a stab in his gut because he worked so hard to get the drugs for Emily every month and now her body was failing along with her heart."She didn't just have a cardiac arrest last night, she also had a stroke. A heart transplant needs to be carried out so hers can be replaced with a healthy one from an organ donor," the doctor provided whilst observing Liam whose eyes nearly pulled out of their sockets in absolute shock."Are you.." Liam paused to gulp because the words felt heavy in his throat that was thick and clogged with a lump, "trying to imply that there's no way out of this except a heart transplant?""You're not wrong, Liam. Emily needs a healthy heart as quickly as possible," Doctor Beistein just sighed and shook his head at the man in front of him, "I can't even guarantee the number of days she'd s
The Ingenious Liam Price 3: Tricked Twice
"Chloe!" Bang, bang, bang.There was a heavy downpour as Liam pounded his fist on his girlfriend's door. He had been knocking for the past ten minutes but there was no response from her. He could have assumed she wasn't inside but the light showing through the small opening of her window indicated that she was home."Chloe, dear, I have nowhere to go. I need your help." He knocked some more and gritted his teeth from the pain he felt in his knuckles. Chloe jerked the door open and glared daggers at him. She seemed to be dressed extravagantly more than she did yesterday."What do you want here, Liam?" Chloe couldn't hide the contempt in her voice. "I came to see you," Liam said gently. When he saw the person he loved appear at the door, all his wounds seemed to stop hurting. "Now you have," Chloe curled her head aside and made to shut the door in his face when he put his hand on it, to refrain her from closing it."Let go," she struggled to push him away but he was stronger than her
The Ingenious Liam Price 4: Found At Last
Liam let out all the pent-up frustration in him through tears. He wept bitterly as he stared at the doctor rolling the stretcher and taking his dead twin to the morgue.He couldn't believe Emily was dead, after the way she had suffered for years. She was very kind-hearted and cared about him a lot. Put her feelings before his. She was the only human who didn't resent him and now she was gone because he was incapable of raising the money for her heart transplant.Liam felt his knees give out underneath him as he bawled, not even paying any attention to the people who walked by and cast him weird and pitiful glances.Liam buried Emily the following evening. There was no point letting her stay in the morgue, it reminded him of how impecunious he was. If he had money like men of his age, Emily wouldn't have died. Neither would he have been tricked the entire time, when he should have been by Emily's side and watching her take her last breath. To think she had died alone in her ward was he
