2025-08-09 16:05:55A 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 18 I Refuse!
"No. I can't."Liam's voice was firm, unyielding. His arms remained stiff at his sides, his expression blank despite the tension in his jaw. He did not wish to play whatever game these people had constructed. He had played his part already—helping a stranger to the hospital. That was where his involvement stopped.Madam Maeve, with an unshaken air of authority, stood before him in no way surprised. Nor did she seem to be disappointed. Instead, she simply regarded him with the same quiet, knowing look, as if she had been waiting for him to have reacted as he had."Then, at least, spend the night here," she said in her soft but compelling tone.Liam's eyes tightened. "No need. Just get someone to drive me home. You know where I live, don't you?"There was a flicker of amusement that went across Madam Maeve's eyes, but she did not answer. She nodded once and turned to one of the maids standing at the doorway. "Tell the driver to prepare the car.".The maid curtsied and darted off. Liam s
Chap 17 Uncanny Resemblance
Liam's fists were clenched at his sides as he glared at the woman standing before him. His body still stung from the attack, but the fury burning within him eclipsed the pain."Do you enjoy playing with people?" His voice was ice, his breathing uneven. "Is that what this is? Some game for the rich and powerful?"Madam Maeve, seated so daintily in her chair, leaned forward slightly, regarding him.Miss Charlie stood rigid beside her, her face pale as she stared at Liam as though she were looking at a ghost. Mr. Nolan, usually so placid, had a frown in his forehead, his sharp eyes fixed on Liam."Calm down, Liam," Mr. Nolan finally spoke, his voice firm but level. "This isn't what you think—""The hell it isn't!" Liam burst out, advancing. "First, you stalk me. Then you abduct me. Now you expect me to sit here and listen like nothing ever happened?"Miss Charlie advanced a step as if to touch him, but Madam Maeve stayed her with a raised hand. Her expression was not one of fury, but of
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.

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.
