Liam's POV

“The Glam Parlour, that's what we called it.” My mother began. “It was a little fashion world of its own, perhaps the very best back in the day. I started as a pattern designer until my boss saw the potential in me and quickly moved me through the ranks.”

She sniffed again and I handed her a handkerchief

“Thank you,” she muttered as she took it.

“Why's it that I'm learning this today?” I asked uncertainly. “What happened at the Glam Parlour?”

“I was… I was..” She stammered as if the details were too painful for her to recall. “My boss had no child and no kin so naturally, he signed off The Glam Parlour to me before his death.”

“So what happened to the Glam Parlour?”

Her eyes immediately turned wild at my question. I had never seen my mother angry but I saw her face twisted in intense anger.

“He suddenly came in!” She exclaimed. “That vulture! That predator! He swooped in immediately and took it! He took everything away?!”

For some reason my heart was suddenly beating rapid

  • CHAPTER 159

    Liam's POVI was truly frightened. I'd be a fool not to admit that I was. His words suddenly made my heart begin to thump wildly in my chest.I exchanged quick glances with Sarah and I could see the fear in her eyes too. Blackwood's words sounded like a death sentence!“What the matter?” He asked following my silence. “No witty comeback? No snappy remarks?”I wanted to talk, I really wanted to say something back to him but I was afraid my words would fail me.. I didn't want him to get that satisfaction that he had successfully gotten under my skin.I lunched forward, hit the end call button and disconnected the call.“Get agent Londonderry!” I told Sarah. “Reach him now! I want you to get to him now!”My words carried urgency and desperation. Sarah didn't wait to be told twice. She knew exactly what was at stake. She knew the dangers that lay ahead so she immediately got to work with her fingers flying across the keyboard with speed.While Sarah worked, I paced to and fro nervously. I

  • CHAPTER 158

    Liam's POV“Its all over for you now.” Blackwood growled as he held up his phone for me to see the screen.My eyes widened as I had a good look at the screen and realized what he was doing. He had secretly and one handedly sent a text to someone named Agent Londonderry!I was stupid to have let him keep his hands in his pocket as we spoke!“They’ll be here in under a minute. You should’ve stayed away kid.” Blackwood smiled smugly, still holding the phone up for me.For a while, I stared at the message on his screen. Because he had typed it one-handed and blindly, words were misspelled but the meaning still stood out clearly.I had to react, I had to act fast to get out of that situation but first…With all my strength and with everything I had left in me, I swung an unexpected punch at Blackwood's face.I heard the satisfying thud as my fist connected with his jaw knocking him instantly to the floor. I had always wanted to do that and it felt good!I was already scanning the area, ca

  • CHAPTER 157

    Liam's POVI'd be lying if I claimed to know what was going on. With the levels of betrayal and backstabbing, I really wasn't sure of who to trust. I really wasn't sure of who to call my own at least until this whole thing blew over.Ryan had barely stepped out of the room when he returned only this time he didn't come alone.Right there behind Liam was Silas Scratch! The most dreaded assassin in the history.“Well look what we have here.” Silas grinned. “A little reunion by the looks of it.”Silas had a gun pinned to the back of Ryan's head and another one aimed directly at me.Charles wanted to react but I knew he had no time. There was no way we could beat Scratch when he had his fingers on the trigger.“Don't even think about it, Old man.” Scratch grinned. “Move and Junior here gets his brains blown out!”Charles slowly held up both hands.“What do you want?” Charles asked.“Why don't you ask Junior here?” Scratch nudged the back of Ryan's head with his gun.My mind quickly began

  • CHAPTER 156

    Ryan's POVI told him everything. I told him all that had happened and I told him even more to motivate him, to force him into changing his mind.I told him about how I had secretly alerted Charles to tip his mom off when my father sent me and some of his men to pay a social call at Liam's house months ago, I told him all about the masked warnings I'd dropped him and even Tobias. I needed him to believe that I wasn't the enemy.Liam still had his gun up but I could tell that he was slowly believing us and was beginning to relent in his threats.“All he says is true.” Charles chirped in. “Listen carefully to what he's saying. I never worked directly for William Blackwood, I've always been working for Ryan here and trust me, despite what you think, he's got your best interests at heart. He wants the same thing.”“Yeah? And what's that?” Liam snapped.“We all want to stop William Blackwood,” Charles replied calmly.Charles was about the only loyal person I had left standing after the man

  • CHAPTER 155

    Liam's POVI didn't believe that I'd ever stand before her door. I never believed that anything would bring me to her house let alone asking for her help but there I was, knocking on her door and looking behind my back.It didn't take long before she opened the door and then screamed and stepped back. Did I really look that bad?“Hello, Melissa.” I smiled. Melissa couldn't believe her eyes. For a moment she was paralyzed in fear as her eyes quickly scanned my dirty and smelly body and clothes. I didn't wait for an invite but immediately entered the room, shut the door behind me and even bolted it.“What.. what are you doing here?” Melissa asked.“I.. I.. need your help.” I didn't believe I'd ever say it, I never believed that I'd turn to her for assistance but here I was.“Me?” Melissa asked in sheer shock. “My help, huh? And what would make you so desperate as to turn to me for help?”“I need to hide.” I blurted out. “I need a place to lay low for a while. I'm.. people are after me

  • CHAPTER 154

    Ryan's POV“What do you want?” I asked with my hands crossed over my chest.From what I had heard Moments ago, Silas had already made short work of my men and was going to kill me anyway so there was no reason to be afraid of him again.“Oh, we'll come to that.” Scratch waved off and moved leisurely to my fridge where proceeded to search through. “..but first, I need to understand why you'd go as far as organizing a hit on me. I mean I tried to be your friend! I offered you a lifetime partnership but you just threw all of that away!”He took out a bottle of beer and turned around to face me.“Tell me, Blackwood. Why'd you do it?!”“Oh wasn't it obvious?” I snapped. “I hate you Scratch! I've always hated you since the day I first saw you since the day I heard your name!”Scratch drank in silence for a while with those cruel and wicked eyes boring into mine.“Wow…” He spoke finally. “All that because of me? I'm flattered, Blackwood. But here's the thing…” He dashed the bottle against th
