"Who the f**k is this?." Liam mumbled out those words angrily as he picked the call without even bothering to check who it was. He slept off while trying to sort things out.

"I'm sorry sir, I called to report to you." The person replied instantly to avoid being fired.

He rolled his eyes and rested his head on the headboard. "Start talking."

"Riley and Matt ended up in a hotel because he narrated how much he knew about you, they had s*x throughout the night and she is back to her apartment now" he reported, Liam's eyes widened after hearing that, a flush of anger gushed through his spine.

"Are you sure?." He asked for confirmation.

"Yes sir." He tossed his phone on the floor and sprung off his seat. "I have never held hands, kissed or even hugged her before, she just allowed someone whom she knew a few days ago to get down with her. 

I have been the stupid one who thinks she will get to love me, I did everything to get attention, she never looked at me romantically for once and I kept on helping her." He cried out in a loud voice, his eyes landed on the laptop.

"Riley you will regret what you have done. I won't think twice before taking everything away from you one after the other, little by little" he threatened with a deep frown on his face.

"Mum, I'm happy." Riley shouted  as soon as she walked into the living room, her mother was descending the stairs. She looked at her puzzle.

"What's going on?" she asked, staring at her,  she couldn't stop herself from smiling.

"Matt asked me to marry him last night, it was too sudden that we couldn't get a ring but we got a room. After three years of being in bondage, I had the greatest s*x of my life with the perfect guy. I am so lucky Mum" she twirled after narrating with a big smile on her face.

"And I am so happy for you. I can't wait to brag to those who looked down on me when you were with that fool that Matt is my soon to be son-in-law, a wealthy and popular one at that." Evelyn imagined with a fulfilled smile. 

"So, when is he going to propose? And when is the big wedding happening? We need to start planning immediately." She bombarded her with questions.

"There is no need to rush, everything will be done at the appropriate time but for now, you need to calm down. 

However, he got a business call this morning that the plans had changed. The meeting scheduled for tomorrow needs to take place today in Asia and he will be back in a week's time. He promised to visit you immediately after his arrival and will also take me to Liamson" she explained calmly, still smiling. Evelyn opened her mouth out of surprise.

"Liamson?." 

"Yes, they are close friends, which means I would get to sign more contracts, and the Williams family members will see me as the most important person in the family." She bragged, raising up her shoulders.

"We need to drink to that." Evelyn ran to the bar to get wine.

"Soon, I will be a billionaire, a wife to a billionaire and a friend to a billionaire." She shouted excitedly and twirled again.

Liam scrutinized the invited businessmen and guests for the annual conference after adding and removing some names. "You can send out the invitation cards now, make sure the event planners don't make any mistakes, everything must be perfect and grand." He instructed, dropping the list on the table.

"I understand sir,"Lisa said with a bow.

The elevator opened, a masculine figure appeared, and smiled on spotting Liam.

"Finally, you are back." He said happily, Liam stood up and smiled at him.

"Yes, I realised this is where I belong. I miss you my brother." He replied, they pulled each other into a hug.

"You are more handsome than the last time I saw you, your wife did a great job." He teased, Liam chuckled awkwardly. "Don't be a silly man, come have your seat." 

Lisa stood up smiling. "Good day Mr Matt Bravely, I am so glad to see you for the first time." She voiced out, she couldn't hold back her joy.

"If you are with him, then you will see more often." He said with a wink, Lisa blushed hard, and tried so hard to comfort herself.

"You can go now, I will get back to you later." He dismissed her immediately.

"I can't believe you still flirt with girls like this, you can't change, will you?." He chuckled slightly, walking over to the bar.

"You know I can't. One of the reasons I came back was because my team found a replica of me who goes about f**king girls, and duping people. I need to find him and make him pay" Matt complained bitterly, sighed out.

Liam scoffed, returned with the drink, then he brought out his phone and showed him the pictures Riley sent. "You meant this guy?"

Matt narrowed his eyes looking more shocked. "This person looked exactly like me, but is that not Riley, your wife?."

"My ex-wife [he looked at him indifferently], she asked for a public divorce yesterday, I signed those papers and we are done, don't feel sorry for me" he explained, laughing out loud.

"That must have been painful, what do you think we should do to him?." 

Liam poured himself some wine and got up. "You don't need to do anything, just follow my lead and I will handle it." He said, releasing an evil smirk.

    Tears rolled down Andrew's cheek on seeing how beautiful the room was decorated with his stuff. "I lived in a family where they treated me badly. I thought nobody would ever love me without knowing I have a family who loves me wholeheartedly. Such an irony! The only regret I have is not meeting my parents. It's really painful, how I wish they were alive to see who they've been searching for." He sighed out, walking into the room fully. He checked out his old pictures, toys, clothes and other stuff until he fell asleep.Riley paced to and fro in her bed countless times, she has been trying to call Matt [the imposter, Maxi, who is now Andrew] it keeps saying his line doesn't exist.

    "This is my room." Liam told Andrew as soon as they entered the room. He looked around, a picture caught his attention, he walked towards the bedside stool and picked it up."Mum told me the picture was taken two months before you got missing, it was the day Dad decided we should have another family picture since the previous pictures always get ruined by your playful behaviour,""I ruined the picture again with my weird laugh." Andrew completed, they laughed softly."Dad promised not to get you your favourite ice cream throughout that day, but mum pleaded on your behalf if not you wouldn't stop throwing your toys at me and reporting Dad to me repeatedly." They laughed, staring at the picture together."I must have done a lot of things to you back then.""You did a lot, guess what I was okay with everything you did. When you went missing, I got sick for a whole year before finally accepting that you were truly gone." A scoff escaped from his lips on saying that. He held Andrew's hands

    Liam took him to the hospital where he got treated for two days. On the third day, he gathered all the family members for a meeting. The fleet of cars halted to a stop in Gage's mansion. "Stay here, I need to go in first," he instructed him while alighting from the car. His three uncles, their wives, children and grandchildren, grandfather and Levi sat down patiently waiting for him to come. "Greetings everyone, sorry for keeping you all waiting. Before my parent's death, we lost Andrew ever since then we always prayed he would come to us one day, and the good news is that I found him." Liam announced, everyone opened their mouths out of surprise, grandpa stood up abruptly. "What? The real son is back?They are going to throw me out. What should I do?." Levi questioned inwardly, confusion sets in. "My favourite grandson is back? Where is he?," he asked excitedly. Liam signalled to Rocky, almost immediately Andrew was brought in. "Everybody I present to you, Andrew Gage, the second

    There was silence in the room for a few minutes. "No, no I don't believe you, Liamson can't be here with us. Don't even think I would believe such a lie," Maxi tried so hard to wade off the thought from his mind.Liamson scoffed and brought out his phone, showing him the pictures he took a few years ago with Matt, family members and other influential personalities.Maxi opened his mouth in shock. "You...you are truly Liamson, I really messed up in front of my helper, I should have known better please spare me." He pleaded with years streaming down his cheek."Why do you think I should let you go?," Liam asked, folding his arms on his chest."I'm not asking you to let me go freely, I want to be punished for my sins but not in a brutal way. Please minimize my punishment. I promise not to engage myself in bad acts ever again, please." He pleaded sincerely, with his head bowed, he wouldn't dare look into his face."Your punishment will be decided by Riley," Liam announced and walked away

    Before they could get to him, some guys rushed to stand right in front of Maxi, they turned out to be Maxi's friends. "Who sent you guys here? What do you want?." The first guy asked while pulling out a gun.The men in suits deepened their frowns. "Move out of the way, we are not here to chit chat, all we want is Maxi," Ricky spoke calmly. He was the one Liam made the boss of his bodyguards, who was trained in karate and in military school for so many years."You need to go through us first before you can take him away." A guy echoed."If that's what you want, then you will have it." Ricky faced his men "attack them and bring Maxi to me in 3." He commanded as he stepped aside watching them swing into action, they slayed them simultaneously until they got to Maxi and ceased him.They groaned in pain, Maxi dropped on his knees. "Please spare me, don't take me away," he pleaded, grabbing Ricky's right leg.Ricky kicked him hard, he landed roughly on the floor. "If only you stopped your

    The room reek with smell of smoke coming out of cigarettes stuck between the fingers of the four young men and six ladies who were dancing to the pop music been played underground."You are a genius, Maxi, can't believe you f**led that girl easily with no hard work applied, here I was thinking you will fail because of her ego. I still battle with this question, how did you know she has a crush on Matt? How did you make her believe you were the real matt?." The first guy praised and questioned him at the same time.Maxi laughed and puffed out the smoke before speaking. "She was so easy to predict. I was making research on how to dupe her when I noticed she want to top the chart as the most successful business woman in the city, and the only way to achieve that was to date at least someone topping the list so I chose to impersonate Matt.Everything goes according to plan, she fell in love with me almost immediately and I played along.
