Chap 16: The Shock
A dull throb of pain flowed through Liam's body as he slowly came to consciousness. His muscles were heavy and sore, bracing against the struggle of the previous evening. A low moan escaped his lips as he struggled to open his eyes, squinting against the new and unfamiliar brightness of soft, golden light.His vision cleared, and what he saw took his breath. The room around him was not like his cramped, battered apartment. It was too clean, too luxurious, too foreign.There was a great chandelier above, its crystal drops casting reflections of the light. The bed he lay on was extravagantly soft, stacked with jasmine-scented silk sheets. There was a broad window along the back of the room, draped with thick, embroidered curtains. The walls were decorated with ornate floral designs, lined with gold edging. All of it was a scream of luxury—a place he didn't belong.Liam sat up fast, before wincing in pain as his body protested. He looked down, seeing his woun
Chap 15: The Struggle
Liam was exhausted.From the moment he strode into the company that morning, he was fully aware he looked like an absolute mess. There were dark circles under his eyes, his shirt was slightly rumpled from his restless tossing and turning, and his usual razor-sharp focus was nowhere to be found. It had been a late night, with his brain churning over the voice in his head, the meeting, and the black car that had sent an unnerving shiver down his spine.The voice had been eerily silent since they last spoke, but its enigmatic tone still weighed on his mind. Who—or what—was it? And, more importantly, how did it know all of this?"Liam, are you even hearing?"A sharp poke to his ribs snapped him out of his reverie. He turned to his side to see Mick, his partner, staring at him with an eyebrow raised."Yeah, yeah, sure," Liam grumbled, waving him off as he rubbed his temples.Mick groaned, clearly unconvinced. "Dude, you've been zoning out all day. You nearly gave the wrong package to a cli
Chap 14: Comfort
As the night rolled off the sun started to prick from the edges.The Tianhu estate was eerily quiet, a stark contrast to the usual bustle of staff and visitors. The atmosphere inside the grand halls carried an air of tension, a silence thick with unspoken worries. In the dimly lit room where Lucas Tian lay, his face was pale, his breathing steady but weak. Machines beeped rhythmically beside him, a cruel reminder of his fragile condition.Miss Charlie, his personal secretary, sat beside the bed, her fingers curled tightly around Lucas's unresponsive hand. She had been with him since he was a child, guiding him through the complexities of business, standing by his side as a pillar of support. Now, the young man she had sworn to protect lay in a coma, and she was helpless to do anything about it.The door creaked open, and Mr. Nolan stepped inside, his usually firm expression softening at the sight of Miss Charlie. "Still here?" he asked gently.Miss Charlie didn’t look up. "Where else
Chap 13: The Nights
As Liam takes his uniform and leaves the office, the scene is shifted as we enter a room enveloped by darkness.Swallowing every hint of light. The air was thick with tension, and the only sound that echoed through the stillness was the occasional tap against the surface of a sleek black tablet. The glow from the screen barely illuminated the figure seated at the grand office table, his features shrouded in the void of the night.His fingers moved with calculated precision as he scrolled through the latest headlines."Tianhu CEO Surprises Employees Disguised as Delivery Worker!""Tianhu's CEO Visits the Heart of His Company—A Stroke of Genius or a PR Stunt?""Exclusive: Employees Praise CEO's Down-to-Earth Approach"A smile that was meant to be pleased twitched on his lips before quickly vanishing. His grip on the device tightened as he scanned the comments beneath the article:"Wow, the CEO is truly one of a kind! This is why I respect Tianhu!""I can't believe he actually did that.
Chap 12: Play Pretend
"Sit down and be cool. Do not display any sign of weakness." The voice commanded as it noticed the abrupt change in Liam's posture.Liam stuttered, his throat dry. The voice was quiet, even amused, but underlying that was an undercurrent of command that knotted his stomach. All his instincts screamed at him to run, but what could he do? He had no idea who was manipulating him, to what purpose, or what would be the result if he did not comply.He gingerly lowered himself into the massive chair behind the desk. His hands clenched on the armrests, his body rigid as he struggled to keep his nerves in check."Good boy," the voice purred, almost teasing. "Now, don't fidget. Let them come to you. In order to uphold the image of a cold and ruthless CEO, you have to always keep them waiting and know when to approach you."The door shut behind the two men as they entered with a suppressed confidence, their polished shoes making no sound on the plush carpet as they moved towards us.One of them,
Chap 11: The Voice
A deafening boom echoed through the room when Liam desperately tried to push the massive double doors open. They would not budge. Not even a centimeter. His breathing became more strained as he pulled on the handles, his heart pounding further with each failed attempt. "Damn," he swore, stepping back, staring at the stuck doors as if ordering them to be opened. His gaze shot to the windows—his last hope. But a simple tug on the latches showed futility. Locked. Bolted. No escape. A heavy sensation had crept into his chest. This was not some bizarre prank or a top-security measure. He was being kept hostage. His mind went back to the events of the day. The stranger is fainting at the airport. The unusual smile of the receptionist—once, twice. And this. Being held captive in a room in a firm that could have someone abducted and never be seen again. His fists clenched. His gasps were brief and shallow. Panic was rising up his t
