All eyes fell on Riley as she walked through the door graciously, she lowered her head stylishly to avoid eye contact with lots of people looking at her.

"Hey, would you like to have a conversation with us?." A lady in her late thirties walked up to her. She nodded, the lady led her to four men who were dressed in tuxedo suits of different colours. 

"It's nice to meet you Riley, I am Roy, the top 6 richest business man in the city, my friends and I would love to discuss a big project we planned with you, you would never regret doing this" he assured with a bright smile. 

Riley sighed out and forced a smile, she has been trying to get through to Matt but it has not been going through, this saddened her heart and also got her worried.

"It's my pleasure, excuse me for a minute, I need to get a drink before we proceed." They nodded, she walked off heading to the bar.

"She is here." Lisa announced, Liam turned his chair and stood up, then faced Matt. "Wait for my signal." He said and walked away.

On getting to the hall, he saw Riley with a guy having a conversation where she laughed shyly. "Is that her new catch?." He muttered underneath while shaking his head.

 Within a twinkle of an eye, another guy bumped into her and quickly dropped a dose of an unknown drug into her wine.

"What could that be?" He questioned himself, he tried moving closer to her when she suddenly held onto her head, the guy he was talking to escorted her outside.

"What is he trying to do?." Liam questioned himself and trailed them out, he saw the two guys trying to force her into the car.

"Shit" he clicked on a button. "Get the car ready and drive it to the main garage." He ordered.

"Hey, leave her alone?" He screamed from behind. The guys turned back, and when they said it was him, they bursted into laughter.

"How the h*ll did they allow you poor guy in here, the security needs to throw you out." The first guy mocked, and waved at two security guards not standing too far from them.

"Throw this fool out of this place, he doesn't deserve to be here." 

The guards looked at each other in confusion. "Who allowed you in? This is an occasion for very important personalities, not a lowlife ex live in son-in-law." The first guard mocked further, they all laughed.

"I don't mind taking my leave but they need to release her. Can't you see she is drunk and doesn't know what they are doing to her." He tried to persuade the guards. 

The second guy took out two bundles of money and handed it over to them. "Throw him out now." He commanded, instantly, they seized him. The guys quickly adjusted her as she had lost consciousness, then the first guy drove out, just then Liam's car came in.

Two guys came down from the car and bowed to him, the guards opened their mouths out of surprise. "Tie up these two id**ts and torture him until he confess where the other guy is taking Riley to." He dished out instructions, took the keys and drove out.

"What route could he have gone through? I really hope he doesn't do anything funny with her, or else his generation will regret having him as one of them. He swore bitterly, looking at the possible way since he was in the middle of two roads.

He tilted his neck to the left, and saw the car driving out from a street. A smile appeared on his face, he ignited the engine and drove after him.

He kept chasing the guy, luckily his car broke down. He came down from the car and headed towards the car.

"It's nice to meet you again." Liam stretched out his hand for a handshake, the guy wanted to respond to the gesture then he took his hand and squeezed it so hard that a sound was heard. "Arrrgh" he screamed out.

He threw a few punches at him, kicked him off and placed his foot on his chest. "Please spare me, I would never do that again, I am sorry." The guy pleaded to avoid being beaten to death.

Liam scoffed. "I'm not going to forgive you for this" he said, hurried to the car to help Riley to the hospital.

He paced to and fro of the hospital hall, the doctor and nurses were in the ward trying to revive her.

"How dare you hurt my daughter, what did you do to her?." Evelyn yelled on seeing him. He called her earlier to inform her about the situation.

A confused expression appeared on his face. "I wouldn't have called you if I did anything to her, in fact you should be thanking me for rescuing your daughter." 

"You think I don't know? After abducting her, Marcus tried to rescue her but you ended up beating the hell out of him, and to avoid being caught you brought her here and pretended not to know anything about it. What sort of a human being are you?." Evelyn narrated as tears rolled down her cheeks.

He stood there looking more surprised as ever. "Who fabricated those lies to you?" He questioned in a harsh tone.

"I did." The guy [Marcus] he had beaten earlier appeared and winked at him. "How could you do such a thing to someone you claim to love, I am highly disappointed in you, I don't think she would be able to forgive you for that." He continued, shook his head in disappointment and smirked at him secretly.

The Williams family showed up looking worried.

"You should have minded your business, the table has turned now and there is no way out of this." Marcus whispered into his ears and laughed softly. 

"I need to find a way out of this quickly." He thought, closed his eyes to think of a possible solution.

    "Thank goodness you are awake." Evelyn said with a bright smile on her face. They waited throughout the night for her to wake up, all the family members had gone back to home but not after insulting Liam.Marcus stepped forward. "You need to thank this young man for saving you. He told me last night that one of Liam's friends dropped something in your drink, before he could react, the drug's effect kicked in. The same guy he sent tried to fight him when he tried to bring you home, which he succeeded. On his way home, he attacked him on the road and brought you to the hospital to cover up his misdeeds, thank you." She explained, glaring at Liam."Another drama begins, she can never remember all that happened outside the hall,""I never did any of that, he..." "After everything I did for you, is this how you want to repay me? I gave you everything, yet you want me dead." Riley recounted as tears rolled down her cheek.Liam was even more disappointed at her. "You believed that lie? Eve

    "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

    "I heard you had a public divorce, you must have summoned a lot of courage to divorce that fool. You've endured more than enough from him, you are indeed a strong woman" Matt complimented, and winked at her.Riley smiled timidly. "Thank you honey, I had to let go of him, nothing good can ever come out of him. I did the public divorce because I want business tycoons to know about it and assign more contracts to me, many of them refused me because of Liam, and now that he is gone they won't think twice." She explained with a bright smile."We need to celebrate, but first, we need to cheer [they raised their glasses of wine]. To your divorce, to more contracts and happiness." They smiled at each other and took a sip from the wine."So, are you coming for the annual conference which will happen in two days time? Liamson will be making himself visible on that day, I can't wait to meet him personally" she stated, excitedly. Matt scoffed. "I would love to be there but I have a meeting I wil

    Liam bursted into a boisterous laughter, it was so loud that they were wondering if he had gone insane."Why is he laughing like that" "Does this look like a joke to him?""I have always known this guy is not mentally stable" The crowd passed comments among themselves. "I asked you to sign these divorce papers and not to laugh," Riley reminded with gritted teeth. "He knows how to make a mockery of things" she thought while rolling her eyes."What if I refuse to sign it, what will you do?" He asked with a serious expression, and a firm tone.She chuckled. "I was thinking I will give you some money since you are jobless, lazy and poor, but if you refuse, I will stop giving you money, send you out of my house and stop giving you food. Don't you think being stubborn about signing this will cost you a lot?." She stated confidently, walked down the podium and gave him the papers."Don't make things worse for yourself by refusing it." She concluded, smiling at him."She is just like all t

    "Who could be calling me so early?" Liam complained as his phone wouldn't stop ringing, after ignoring it twice he decided to pick it up without looking at the caller's ID"Why take so long to pick up the call, are you that lazy?" Riley scolded him loudly, it was obvious she was angry.He shook his head finding it hard to comprehend what just happened, he never knew she could do something like that, moreover, they haven't had a conversation for the past two days. "Speak to me" her voice blasted again, she was impatient for him to answer."She really needs something from me, but why come to me instead of her boyfriend?" He thought."What do you want from me? And you don't have any right to call me anytime you want, command me like I am your employee." Liam bursted out angrily, he slept late the previous night because he was trying to sort out the problem the family company had, it was more complex than he thought.She chuckled..."Are you exchanging words with me?" She asked out of surp
