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.

    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
