Mrs. Olivia was with a man, sitting comfortably on his lap and acting like two love birds.
The last time I checked, this was the same thing I was scolding for, cheating. Although mine was just an accusation.“What is happening now? Why is Mrs. Olivia cheating? Does the man know that she's a married woman? Liam thought, he couldn't hold it anymore, so he approached them.“Good day Sir, my name is Liam." Liam brought out his hand for a handshake, but the man glanced at him from head to toe and ignored him. Anyway, I'm Mrs Olivia’s husband, please can you respect our marriage?”. Liam said.The next thing Liam saw when he opened his eyes was the hospital ceiling. Olivia’s guest had beaten Liam to unconsciousness. He learned that it was one of the workers in the mansion that took him to the hospital.Liam felt sore all over his body. The worst wasn't about the pain Liam felt, but he feared what the Thompson family would do to him. All he wanted to do was to protect his woman.That same evening he was discharged from the hospital. He booked a taxi with the help of a kind nurse.When Liam got home, Olivia was not in the sitting room but Mr and Mrs Thompson were sitting in the living room watching a TV show.As soon as they noticed Liam, they asked “Where are you coming from?”.“Hospital, I was just discharged from the hospital,” Liam said trying to make them feel sorry for him, but instead he was given the shocker of his life.“Security, take this boy to the discipline room and show him how to talk to his wife, he lacks manners." He gazed at Liam who had a surprise look on his face. "How dare you embarrass your wife’s guest? Who are you in this house? Now take him”. He said.Liam, whose eyes were wide open in shock, began to cry and plead at the same time.“I’m sorry father-in-law, I didn't mean to offend you or Mrs Olivia. I'm sorry, I won't do it again, I promise.”“I'm sure you won't do it again after this punishment,” Mr. Thompson said.Liam continued to plead until he was in the room with the security, he was tied and beaten to unconsciousness.Exactly, four hours later, Liam was woken by the incessant call of his name.“Liam! Liam!! Liam!!!.. Uhh...” He sluggishly answers. “Get up, madam Olivia wants to see you,” The maid said.Liam got up, staggering to Mrs. Olivia’s room.Liam knocked on the door and the voice on the other end answered and asked him to come in.Liam looked down as soon as he entered and saw another man on Olivia’s bed. He recognized the man from their wedding as one of the Thompson’s business partners.Liam didn't want to cause another problem for himself; he couldn't endure another beating.“Liam, you’ll have to go to the grocery store and buy the Italian best wine for my guest. He doesn't want to drink any random wine, and please be fast about it.” Olivia instructed.In Liam’s mind, he wondered why Olivia would be so heartless to send him on such an errand; having pain all over his body was not enough, but buying what her lover would drink was too much of an insult to him.“Mrs. Olivia, please can you ask someone else to buy it? My body is full of sores and it aches me terribly.”Mrs. Olivia got provoked, “Are you mad? Do I look like I care about your body? You’ll go to the store and buy what I asked for, and that's final.”Disappointingly he muttered, “I'm sorry I’ll go. Please, where do I get the money from?”Mrs. Olivia looked at him and hissed. “I know you don't have money.” She opened her drawer and brought out a bundle of cash. “Take it! She handed it to Liam. If you waste time, you'll starve for a week. Now go!”.Liam collected the money and rushed out of the room, hurting from the pain on his body.Liam, with aching limbs, made his way to the grocery store. He felt like a slave in the Thompson’s house. His supposed wife now disrespects him in the presence of her lovers.As he entered the store, he tried to walk through the hall, wincing with every step.He found the Italian best wine section and grabbed a bottle, hoping it would satisfy Olivia’s guest's expectations. The cashier gave him a curious look, noticing Liam's messy look.Back at the Thompson mansion, Liam handed the wine to Olivia. She glanced at him with contempt, as if his mere presence irritated her. “You took forever. Go clean yourself up; you're a mess.”Liam nodded and headed to the bathroom. He stared at the mirror, but it only reflected a battered man with bruises. As he cleaned up, he wondered how his life had spiraled into this nightmare.Once he looked somewhat presentable, Liam went back downstairs, hoping for a moment of peace. Instead, Olivia who was heading to the kitchen saw him and pointed to a vacuum cleaner. “Since you enjoy making a mess of yourself, clean the entire house. And remember, don't make a sound; my guest doesn't appreciate noise.”For hours, Liam worked tirelessly, the vacuum's noise drowning out his thoughts. As he cleaned, he overheard bits of conversations between Olivia and her guest. They laughed and chatted, sharing intimate moments.As the evening approached, Liam had become exhausted. His body screamed in pain, but he dared not complain. He finished cleaning just as Olivia summoned him.“Now, go to your room. I don’t want to see a pathetic sight like you.” Olivia's words hurt deeply, and Liam fled to his room, he knew that there would be no dinner for him for coming back late.In his small room, Liam wondered how he ended up a prisoner in a place he thought would bring happiness. Lying on the bed, battered and broken. Out of nowhere, a loud noise broke out, Liam quickly got up fearing, “What's that?

It was Sarah. She had helped Liam buy food and drove him close to the Thompson Mansion.“Don't ever do this again; the Thompson family wouldn't like it and might punish you. If you need help, reach out to me,” Sarah advised.Liam nodded. “Thank you, Sarah. You saved my life. I was on the verge of dying, starving for weeks with no help. I had no money, and nobody was willing to help me. Thank you for not leaving me; I appreciate your love and kindness towards me," Liam expressed sincerely.Liam exited Sarah’s car, he said, “Bye, Sarah. Thank you for having my back even without knowing me well. Bye.” Smiling. "Bye, Liam, and take care of yourself. Be a good boy," Sarah said before driving away. Liam walked back to the Thompson family while Sarah drove away. As Liam came close to Thompson's mansion, he realized he hadn't gotten Sarah's number and secretly he hoped to meet her again.Upon reaching home, Liam noticed numerous cars i

Liam mustered up the courage to step outside. Surprisingly, he found a plate of food on the floor, shattered. Liam went to the maid to inquire, “Hello, what happened? Are you alright? Can I help you?” showing concern.The maid, on her knees gathering broken glasses, looked up and said, “I’m sorry. I was bringing you this meal, but it fell. I don't know what you’ll have for dinner. I'm so sorry,” genuinely pleading.Despite his hunger, Liam pitied the lady, knowing it was an honest mistake. “It's okay. I’ll manage through the night,” he assured, patting her shoulders, and returned inside.Inside the room, Liam began to ponder how miserable his life had been, painful tears flowed until he fell asleep.Waking up famished, Liam was weak from days without eating, still, he had to do his morning duties before work. He was running late, so he quickly freshened up.He went from room to room Informing the Thompson family members that he

Liam grabbed his coat and hurriedly ran out of the room. As he descended, he started thinking aloud “Who are they? I just hope it's not any member of the Thompson or Wilson family.”Disappointment struck when he reached the bottom of the stairs and found Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. Shocked, Liam wondered, “How did they locate me?”Approaching them questioningly, Liam's eyes widened. Before he could speak, Mr. Wilson delivered a hot slap, leaving Liam rubbing his cheek, only to receive another slap from Mrs. Wilson.“Ah!” Liam shouted on the verge of tears. “Master, I didn't know...” he started, but Mrs. Wilson cut him off, scolding, “Shut up, useless boy! Do you want to bring more disgrace to the Wilson name? You came to this cheap hotel to mess around with some woman on the night of your wedding. If anything happens to this partnership, I’ll deal with you.”“The Thompson family is waiting for you at their mansion. Now get out and let's go. I hope the pu

In Sarah’s car, Liam got emotional and started saying, “I don't know why my family hates me. I’ve done everything to please them,”Sarah looked at Liam and patted him on the back. “It's alright, sometimes family can be annoying. I'm sure they will come around, especially your mother. A mother's love is quite strong,” Sarah said.Liam exclaimed, “My mother? She doesn't love me. I'm not her biological son. I wish I knew my parents.”Sarah glanced at Liam suspiciously, “They're not your parents?”Liam nodded.“That explains the ill-treatment. Do you know what happened to your parents? Do you know them?” Sarah asked.Liam looked in surprise, “Do you know my parents? Please, what happened to them?” Liam begged.Sarah looked at Liam like a crazy person, then she quickly understood that Liam had misunderstood her statement. “Oh! No. You didn't understand my question. I was only asking if you know them.” Sarah explained.
Chapter Five
As Liam got up to approach the lady who was gazing at him from afar, Mr. Wilson appeared. “Why are you here all by yourself? This is a party of the rich; go and mingle, and make the Wilson family name proud. Just be useful already,” Mr. Wilson urged.Liam sighed, and stood up, not knowing what to do or how to start.While he tried to chat, people were just pretending. They didn't care about him; his presence seemed like a joke at this elegant wedding. A bunch of guests talked quietly, glancing at Liam. "That's the Wilson kid, right? How did he end up here?" they chuckled.Liam, trying not to show his hurt feelings, smiled wearily. Laughter from the group made it clear he wasn't welcome.More ridicule followed, treating him like a punchline. The Wilsons, who were desperate to revive their fading status, unknowingly exposed Liam to everyone's mockery. The Thompsons, clearly unconcerned, enjoyed their party. Liam, caught in their high expectatio
