"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.

    Rea ran into Becca's office. "I received an email of the question and answer session Sarah did. She told them the work was done by her." She reported the matter to her.Becca, who was playing a game on her phone, raised her head and smiled. "If that's the answer she gave then so be it." "What about your efforts, the sleepless nights, endless meetings, phone calls, days you only survive on coffee all day. Did you do all of that only for another person to take credit for it all?." Rea broke out in sadness, pain.Becca fights back the tears clutching to her eyelashes. "I won't be able to describe how happy I would be if my family could appreciate me for once.""Rea, I understand how you feel but I had no choice but to let go. It is better that way." "No Becca, we worked so hard on that project, if you don't want to fight for it, I will and the remaining team members will too, we will get a lawyer to fight this case." She threatened."This is not the time for it, after the press confere

    "Did Becca succumb to their pressure to hand the company over to Sarah? I need to find out." Liam thought, brought out his phone and dialled Becca's line, she picked almost immediately."I heard Sarah is the new CEO of the company now, how can you hand over your years of labour to her?," he questioned."I haven't handed over to her, just brought her here to see how things are being done, giving them assurance, and boom, I will surprise them on the press conference day. Make sure you are in attendance, a surprise is waiting for you also." Becca informed with a sinister smile appearing on her lips.Liam furrowed his brows trying to think what the surprise should be. "Can I have a clue of what the surprise is?." "No, wait and watch." "Alright, I will contact you later, I have things to do." "Alright, I will be expecting you." Becca replied, and hung up.At his company,Liam stepped down from the car, and walked into the company, workers bowed their heads as he walked past them. He saw

    "Who are you, Liam?." Riley asked, Liam stopped right on his track and turned."Do you really want to know who I am?" He asked, in a calm tone."Yes, no ordinary person can do what you did there, it is either you are related with an influential family or you have been given the power to do so," she replied, giving a reason for the question."I am Liamson Gage, the richest man in the city." When he introduced himself, Riley was shocked by her marrow bone."How...how is that possible?. You lived with us for three years and I didn't know anything about it?." She asked, looking and feeling confused."I hid my identity to know a woman who can love me wholeheartedly without involving my money. You got married to me and chose to treat me like trash because I wasn't rich. Today, I am formally informing you that I am the richest and the most influential man in the city." He explained, with a chuckle."Why didn't you take me as your wife, I made sure you lacked nothing during the three years of

    Sarah and Becca stepped into the company gracefully, the workers bowed their heads as they walked past them. "Good morning Miss Becca." Rea greeted with a bow, she is her personal assistant."Gather everyone, I have a little introduction to do." Becca ordered, Rea bowed and proceeded to do what she was instructed to do. After a few minutes, everybody had gathered around. "I would love to introduce my younger sister, Sarah, to you all. She just got back after being away for years. Apparently, she is the acting CEO. Make sure you respect her the same way you respect me." She informed them, and walked away with Sarah and Rea."She is too foolish to realise that the family is just using her. Can't believe she just introduced me to them as the acting CEO while she is still the CEO. Well, within a few days, I will be the boss here." Sarah smiled happily as she walked behind her."She must be feeling high and mighty. Sarah, you really think I will forfeit everything just for you to be happ

    Riley moved closer to Nick, slapping him hard. "I would never believe anything that comes out of your mouth. How could you even try to guilt trap me? Do you really think I was that person that would believe your lies over and over again." She yelled at him angrily."You don't have to believe me, because I have done a lot of things to you." Nick spoke again."Take him out. I don't want to see his face again, at least for today. Looking at him disgust me a lot." Riley shouted, Rocky looked at Liam, he gave an approval with a nod, before the order was carried out."Thank you, Liam. Do you think selling this company is a good decision?," she asked, looking at him with a side of her eyes."You still don't believe me even after everything (he scoffed and faced everybody) I have sold the idea to you all enough, there is no pity in this business because by this time tomorrow the company will be rendered useless. Make your decision now or you forget about the company." Liam rolled out his opt

    "Nick, drop that gun right now. You don't have to react this way, I will make sure no one pushes you around like a puppet." Grandmother stated, with the hope he would try to calm down."There is nothing you can do about it. You can't understand how many years I have to endure Riley succeeding in all areas. She has never failed even when I tried to give her the reason to, her first try at having a company worked really well while i failed multiple times, as if that wasn't enough, she got married at an early age, everybody loves her so much. I became someone who fails at everything he does, nothing was working out." He lamented, sweat began to gang up around his temple, he pointed the gun at Riley."Please don't do it, I promise to do anything you want." Riley pleaded, everybody stood still not knowing the action to take."I swore to take everything away from you right from when you got the highest score in the city when the final examination result came out. I hated you with everythin
