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.

    "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
