"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.

    "I think about you every time. A bright smile always appear on my face whenever I remember the s*x we had that day, it was so beautiful that I couldn't get it off my mind. I love you so much Riley, I want you to be mine forever." Imposter Matt said, with his eyes fixed on her eyes.Riley looked away shyly, smiling heartily and blushing hard. "He is so romantic, he flatters me at every opportunity he gets. It was the best s*x I have had for the last 10 years. He satisfy me with everything, no doubt, I want to be with this guy forever." She thought inwardly with a bright smile."If you are thinking of leaving me, abort it right now because I won't allow that to happen." He jokingly said and they laughed out."I would never think of leaving you, this is the first time in many years that I would be deeply in love with someone. That f**l, Liam is nothing close to you," she confessed fixing her eyes on her."This is a good opportunity to accomplish what I am here for tonight.""If you truly

    Riley punched her laptop's keyboards with so much annoyance. Earlier on after informing Nick about resuming the following morning, he sent her a file to work on to be submitted that night with a threat of replacing her with another person if she doesn't submit it at the stipulated time. "He taunts me at every chance he gets, how the hell will I finish this tonight?," she continued typing and scanning through the file. The ring coming out from her phone diverted her attention. "I really hope it's not that a*shole calling." She sighed out and reached for the phone, a smile appeared on her face after seeing who it was. "Hi Riley." A masculine voice spoke. "Who is on the line?," she asked in a non-challant tone. "I know you must be very angry at me for not returning any of your calls and replying to your messages. I didn't know the meeting was a trap for me to work more and had meetings with lots of people. I got back a few minutes ago and decided to call you first. I'm so sorry," Im

    "Listen up everybody, I need you all to abandon whatever you are doing right now." Jason instructed in a loud tone, everybody suspended whatever they were doing and looked at him, then Hudson walked in and looked at him. "The issue is that we all ate and drank more than Hudson could afford, so right now everybody needs to contribute to the bills or else we won't be allowed to leave here without being embarrassed," he announced, all eyes looking at Hudson who stood there with his head bowed. Liam scoffed and folded his arms. "You meant everything Liam said was true? How could you allow us eat and drink so much when you know you can pay?. I lost my job last month and there is no money on me. What are we going to do now?." Cynthia stated out of concern. "Baby, you know the company that signed me for a modelling job suddenly terminated the contract and I had to refund their money, I don't have money now. I'm sorry." Becca explained with an apology. "You know we are in the last week of

    "Are you paying with your card, sir?." The waiter asked after a long silence from Hudson. "Does it look as if he can pay?," Liam questioned in a mockery tone, they all glared at him. "How can you say such a thing, he is more than capable to pay for it. Nobody asked for your opinion you f**l." Linda snapped at him. "You are here to eat the kind of delicacies you haven't had in years, so keep shut and keep eating before we all shut it for you." Jason threatened, Liam bursted into a boisterous laughter immediately after he stopped speaking. They were surprised to how he reacted. "Why are you laughing? Nothing is funny useless ex-live-in son-in-law." Becca fired at him angrily. Liam stood up and faced Hudson. "Why did you have to lie to everyone? I know your family is bankrupt and you are only living on the money you got from some of your companies you sold." He revealed with a smirk playing on his face. "How the h*ll did he know about it? Everybody involved promised us to keep the i

    Liam's focus was on the monitor as he punched the keys impatiently. "Why do I have to forget my password?," he questioned himself out of frustration. He just got into the office and tried logging in, but incorrect password kept popping up on the screen."The first letter is in capital letter, sir." Lisa said, walking in fully and standing before his table."Oh thank you." He appreciated, tried and it worked."I think you need to take a break sir, you have being stressing yourself from the first day you took over," she pointed out, with a concerned look on her face.Liam adjusted himself and smiled. "This is not the time to rest because there is a lot to do. What do I have on my schedule today?," he asked in a lower tone."You have a meeting with Demmy company by 10 : 00 am, another meeting by 1 : 00 pm, another meeting with Hudson and a reunion by 4 : 00 pm." Lisa listed out immediately."That's fair enough, reschedule the meeting with Hudson to 9 : 00 am tomorrow." "Alright sir, sh

    Evelyn opened the door with a bright smile. The smile disappeared when she saw Riley standing in front of the door with tears flowing down her cheek. "Come here baby." She pulled her into a hug for few minutes. They disengaged, Evelyn pulled her in and made her sit. "Let me get you some water" she rushed into the fridge, brought out a bottled water and handed it over to her. "Thank you Mum." Riley appreciated in a monotone. She watched her gulp down the water. "You look more better than the time I saw you outside. You came home earlier than usual, looking shattered. What happened?," "Mum, could you believe Grandmother and Nick went behind my back to convince the board to make him the CEO and make me his assistant. I served this family with all I have and this is all I could get in return?," as she explained tears gathered around her eyes ready to fall freely. Evelyn's eyes widened. "How could they do such thing, you have more shares than anyone else automatically you are the CEO
