The Trillionaire Delivery Guy

Chapter 5

For years, Nina never let Liam touch her, let alone sleep with him. She always had an excuse. “Not in the mood”. “Tired”. “Didn’t want a baby”…

Turned out, she just couldn’t stand him.

But another man? She’d spread her legs in a heartbeat.

Liam’s gaze darkened. Nina caught it. She quickly looked away, snuggling deeper into Jake’s arms.

Jake smirked. His voice rang out, dripping with mockery.

“Well, well. Look who it is. The loser husband again!”

“Can’t get rid of you, huh? Running into you here of all places? TitanCorp’s got standards, man. You’re bringing down the vibe!”

“What the hell are you still doing here? Get lost before I call the security!”

Emily widened her eyes at the scene. She turned to Nina, her tone filled with disbelief.

“Nina, Liam is your husband! And you're just gonna stand there while this guy humiliates him?”

Nina’s jaw tightened, a flicker of irritation crossing her face. Then, she scoffed.

“Ex-husband, thank you very much.”

“And honestly? If it weren’t for this deadweight dragging me down for five years, I’d have taken Nova Group so much further.”

“He deserved being humiliated for wasting my time.”

She turned her venomous glare back at Emily. “And you… defending him now? What, you got a thing for losers?”

Jake chuckled, shaking his head in fake pity.

“Emily, dear, I heard your family is in deep shit financially. Maybe it’s time to drop that pride of yours and start looking for a real man who could save your ass!”

He gestured at Liam.

“But him? If people found out you were into him, they’d laugh you outta town!”

Emily’s eyes narrowed, her anger sparking. “I’m just being fair. Don’t twist my words.”

She turned back to Nina, voice sharp.

“This is my first time meeting Liam, but I’ve heard how he was treated in your family!”

“And what’s wrong with him? He is a good guy, and you may regret losing him one day!”

Liam stood silent. But inside, he felt a pang of surprise at Emily’s word.

If not for his silent investments, Nina would’ve never grown Nova Group into what it was today.

He’d given up everything for her. His birthright, his wealth, His power.

All because she once said she wanted to marry a man “on the same level”, he became that man. Built everything from scratch alongside her.

And Nina just turned a blind eye to everything he’d done. Never saw it. Never cared.

But Emily, someone who barely knew him? She saw it. 

How ironic.

Nina scoffed again, her patience running out.

“Emily, we used to be best friends. You should know, you’re too damn stubborn.”

A cruel smirk curled on Nina’s lips. “You’re here to make a deal with TitanCorp, right?”

"Don’t bother. Jake’s close with the general manager."

“The deal’s already locked in with Nova Group. You’re wasting your time.”

She whispered to Emily the final jab. “Go home. Maybe some rich guys will take pity on you.”

Liam’s eyes went cold. 

“Nina.” His voice was low but solid, “You’re saying Nova Group already secured a deal with TitanCorp?”

Jake laughed loud and obnoxious.

“What, you think some guy like you even knows what TitanCorp is?”

“You have no say here! We’re talking Forbes-ranked. Billion-dollar deals!”

“You wouldn’t even understand the numbers if they slapped you in the face.”

Nina clung to Jake’s arm, glaring at Liam with something close to disgust.

“Liam, you don’t belong here. Just leave. I won’t even call security on you. Consider it a favor.”

Liam ignored her. He just pulled out his phone, dialed a number.

“Timothy. Get down here. Now”

One of Liam’s principles. Business should be based on merit, not backdoor deals and connections.

If Timothy, the general manager at TitanCorp, had agreed to this contract just because of Jake is close to him", then Timothy’s career was as good as over.

Jake blinked in surprise, then burst into mocking laughter.

“Hahahaha! Liam, you’re killing me!”

“You think you can just call TitanCorp’s general manager like he’s your buddy?”

He pulled out some change from his wallets, tossing it at Liam’s feet. The coins fluttered down like bells.

“Here. Take this and go get your head checked, man. You’re clearly delusional.”

The bills fluttered to the ground, and Jake’s smug grin only grew wider.

Liam didn’t move. Just locked eyes with him.

Jake’s smirk widened.

“What? Not enough? C’mon, man. That’s all you’re worth anyway.”

He wrapped an arm around Nina and leaned in close.

“Consider it compensation. Five years with her, and I got her in one night. Must sting, huh?” He chuckled, dark and dirty.. “Oh, and your ex? She’s a real wildcat in bed.”

Nina’s face flushed, but Liam couldn’t tell if she was embarrassed or enjoying the sting she was dealing. She quickly masked it with a sneer.

“What a loser,” she muttered, tugging on Jake’s arm. “Jake, let’s go. Why waste time on someone like him? We’ve got a billion-dollar deal to celebrate tonight.”

A billion-dollar deal. The kind that would put Nova Group up there with Riverside’s elite, sitting pretty next to the Johnsons!

And Liam? Well, he was nothing now, or so they thought. A man too pathetic to even fight back.

Nina shot him one last cold look.

“Last chance, Liam. Take the divorce settlement, or I’m taking it back. You’ve got until tonight.”

She glanced at his uniform, disgust written all over her face. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Emily opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Liam spoke first.

“Keep your money,” he said, voice eerily calm. “I have told you, I don’t want it, and I don’t need it.”

Jake snorted, incredulous. “Oh yeah? And what do you need?”

Liam’s eyes sparked.

“I just need one thing.” He tilted his head. “That billion-dollar deal with Titan Corp. I’m taking it back.”
