"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.

    Everyone was confused at his statement. "What are you here to claim?." Nick asked, with furrowed brows."Every member of this family has enjoyed the benefits of both Riley's company and the family company. This is the time to take it back." Liam replied, they all laughed."Don't put up an act to stop us from punishing Riley." Liam smiled, stretched his hand, Rocky handed over the document to him. "Let me make this clear. The reason why you illegally took over the company from her was because the family company was experiencing a downturn.Sadly, merging the two companies didn't solve the problem as the revenue kept dropping every single day. To solve this problem, you need to sell all your shares to The Gage's family company who is ready to buy the company for seven hundred million dollars." He explained to everyone.Everybody looked confused again. "Nick, why was the company's revenue dropping? You assured us that the company will be in a better position under your leaders." Mond ca

    All eyes were on Riley, glaring so hard at her that those eyes could cut deep into her skin."Why did you organise this meeting? You made us stop everything we are doing to be here because you lied that grandmother said you should call for this meeting. Do you know how graveious your offence is?." Jamin scolded aloud, he doesn't usually interfere in the family business, but he had to leave a meeting to be there."How could I bring myself to believe this Id*ot, I should have sensed that grandmother would never tell her to do such. Now that you've made us come, what do you want from us?. I understand you don't have a job, [he looked at Evelyn who was in a wheelchair and laughed], I forgot your only job now is to take care of your sick mother, even at that, don't ever try this stupid act again." Nick gave her a serious warning."Why is he taking too long to come, what should I do?." Riley thought with her head bowed as the family members began to lash her with words.The previous nightL

    "What just happened?." Eliza asked in confusion, at Becca's reaction a few seconds ago."Is it true that Becca owns this house?." Sarah asked for confirmation from Robinson who was still looking shocked."Yes, my dad transferred the ownership of this house to her and also gave her those shares as a compensation for saving his life and working hard. I thought Becca would transfer it to me in no time and not use it against us, but she is doing otherwise now." He explained in a frustrated tone."Since this house was given to her by Grandfather, it still remains our home and she has no right to do whatever she likes." Sarah stated in a loud voice."That's true, Becca can't threaten us. This house belongs to all of us." Eliza supported."Dad, Mum, don't stress out yourself thinking about her, Becca doesn't have the courage to step down from the CEO position, everything she said was just to make you shift the marriage alliance back to me." Sarah tried calming them down with assurances."Wha

    Becca descended down the stairs, struggling to keep her eyes wide open. She worked throughout the night and had no choice than to continue working."Breakfast is ready Ma'am, everyone is waiting for you." A maid informed with a bow, she yawned out and walked to the dining table."Oh Becca, you are here. Come sit down, you really work so hard these days, what do you want to eat? I will have the maid prepare it for you now." Eliza summoned, holding her by the arm."I think you should take the day off, I don't even care whether you get the contract or not at this point." Robinson spoke with a wide smile on his face."Sister, since dad is giving you the day off, can we probably go for a long drive like the old days looking at the mountains, beautiful buildings and buying our favourite ice cream bowls." Sarah giggled with so much excitement as she said those words.Becca was dumbfounded for some seconds. "I'm I still sleeping? Or probably daydreaming?. Everything looks so confusing." She t

    "you don't deserve to know." Liam gave a sharp reply, and walked out of the ward.Liam picked his phone as it rang out loud. "Grandfather, I'm on my way already, I will soon be there." He spoke before his grandfather could even say a word, that would be the upteenth time he would be calling. "Just trying to know where you are, my regards to Robinson." He hung up.After the twenty minute journey they finally got to Robinson's mansion. His bodyguards rushed out of the cars to lead him in, Rocky helped him out of the car to the wheelchair, his face was covered with a mask. "It is all set, we can go in now." Rocky said, he wheeled him in. Liam decided to disguise as a disabled person to prevent Becca from knowing he was her sister's supposed fiance.As the door opened widely, the smile on Robinson, the wife [Eliza], and Becca's younger sister [Sarah] their faces disappeared."Who are you?." Eliza asked, scrutinizing him."I am Liamson the wealthiest business young man in this city, is

    "Do you really want to know about me?." Liam asked, fixing his gaze on her. "Yes, we've been going on and on about me, I want to know you." "Alright, everybody knows me as the live in son in law who was divorced by his wife publicly a few weeks ago, I have no money just trying to feed and house myself with the little I earn," he stated."That must have been a terrible experience for you. You talked about people not appreciating you, who are they?.""Riley, my ex wife and her mother, they never see me as a person worthy of being a human being. Throughout the three years of marriage, they made sure I did everything and even got insulted without being appreciated. I helped her attain a greater height in her company, warned her of what will happen if she keeps trusting her extended family, at the end of the day, she lost everything to them and now she has become a mockery who is being tossed to and fro. Riley fell from grace to grass all within one month." He explained, with a sigh of r
