Chapter: Chapter Five: Beneath the suit and tie
As Liam and Ava were back from the magic of the moment, they began to talk and discuss about stuffs. Just then Ava made way to ask a question.“Now that we’re together, I still don’t know anything about your family,” Ava said, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.Liam smiled reassuringly. “In time, I will introduce you to them.”Ava’s brow furrowed. “Why can’t you tell me something now?”As she spoke, Liam’s mind flashed back to their earlier conversation at the burger joint. Ava’s words echoed in his mind: “Maybe money is the root of all evil. There’s no such thing as a good-hearted billionaire.”Liam’s eyes snapped back into focus. “I think we should wait for things to settle down with my job, and then I’ll introduce you to them.”Ava’s eyes narrowed playfully. “You better not be lying to me.”Liam’s smile was genuine. “Hey, trust me. You are the most important thing in my life, and I’m going to protect you from the rest of mine.”Ava’s face lit up with a radiant smile as she con

Chapter: Chapter Four: The perfect Husband
Liam and Ava walked into another store. Ava's eyes widened as she looked around at the fancy shelves and shiny decorations. The place looked super expensive, and she could already guess the price tags would be way out of her budget. "Why did you bring me here?" Ava asked, her eyebrows pulling together with worry. "You've been spoiling me all day," Liam said with a smile. "You should treat yourself too." Ava looked around nervously. "But this place looks pricey." Liam let out a little laugh. "Just take a quick look around." Ava gave a small nod and wandered over to look through the racks of designer dresses. She picked up a few price tags and gasped. "These prices are insane," she thought. "They might as well rob me!" Meanwhile, Liam took out his phone and made a call. "James, sell out the mall. I want you to sell everything at 99.9% off." Ava walked back to him, her face full of curiosity. Liam ended the call and slid his phone back into his pocket. "I told you, you sh

Chapter: Chapter Three: When Masks Fall
Ava handed Liam a burger, and as he took a bite, he nodded in satisfaction. "Wow, that's very nice!" he exclaimed. "I told you it's good," Ava replied with a smile. "We might have to, you know, not be eating out as much. We have to tighten our purse strings." Liam's eyes narrowed. "Are you running out of money?" Ava hesitated before answering. "The wedding with Noah kind of drained my savings." Liam raised an eyebrow. "You could've married him and lived a luxury life. Why didn't you?" Ava's expression turned somber. "He used to be different, but now all he cares about is money. I think money can change people, I don't know, maybe money is the root of all evil." " There's no such thing as a good hearted billionaire." She added. Liam disagreed. "Not all rich people are bad. Take Hamilton Holdings, for example. I've heard their heir is a great guy, and he's very handsome too." Ava rolled her eyes. "Handsome? Who cares?" Liam almost choked on his burger, and

Chapter: Chapter Two: Entwined
The room erupted into a mixture of gasps and snickers. "Has Ava lost her mind?" one of the girls whispered. "Marrying a security guard she just met?" Ava's face burned with embarrassment, but she stood her ground. Liam, however, was thinking "Maybe she's trying to disgrace the Smith's family". Mrs. Smith's voice cut through the chatter. "Ava, what are you doing? Are you trying to insult us with this…lower-class display?" The room fell silent, with only a few stifled giggles breaking the tension. Ava's eyes flashed with defiance. "Look, I paid for this whole wedding. I can marry whoever I want. It's really none of your business." Mrs. Smith sneered. "I don't buy your act, Ava. Everyone knows the Smith family is rich and influential. Even the powerful Hamilton Holdings does business with us. I don't think a gold digger like you would marry a poor guy. Do you think this will make Noah change his mind?" Ava's voice remained steady. "I'm not trying to insult you, but I'm not

Chapter: Chapter One: The Wedding Twist
As the shiny black car smoothly stopped in front of a tall building, a foot stepped out from the driver's side. The shoe was a fancy black leather loafer, so clean it shone in the sunlight and was showing that whoever owned it was clearly rich and stylish. The driver got out. He was a tall man in his mid-30s with dark hair, sharp features, and a calm, classy look. He took off his sunglasses, showing his sharp brown eyes that scanned everything around him with a serious look. In one smooth motion, he took off his casual jacket, revealing a fitted black suit and a neat white shirt underneath. His hair, neatly styled, moved slightly as he walked, making him look even sharper. He walked towards the building's entrance with long strides, covering the distance easily. As he passed a guard, he tossed his car keys to him without even looking. The guard, clearly used to it, caught them like it was nothing. Liam Hamilton's eyes narrowed a little as he walked, his whole vibe full of power, c
