“Nothing happened, Liah! You're worrying for nothing.” "Don't you know about Sam? With him by my side, do you think the worry will go away?" Sarah chuckled, hiding the truth. "Yes, that's true," Liah answered while playfully pulling Samuel's cheeks. "This little rascal! Never leaves me in peace, nor you! I'll take all your tech gadgets," Liah threatened Samuel. "I'll lock myself in my room before you do that!" Samuel said with laughter, running and locking himself in. "This kid will never change," Liah sighed, rubbing his head with a hint of worry. "It's okay. He's a child. Kids his age behave like this, but he truly takes after his father," Sarah said, making Liah glare at her. "How many times have I said this? No one speaks his name in front of me. I didn't return here after all these years to hear about him, but to expand my business, which is going smoothly now. Once I've set up the branch here, I'll move on again." Liah's voice held a steely resolve. "But Liah, you should
"Did you find the information I told you to?" Samuel spoke into his headset, a smile playing on his lips as the connection established. "Got it all," the voice on the other end chirped, a matching smile audible in the tone. "Prepare to be surprised." Samuel chuckled. "Surprised? I doubt it." "Alright, then. Let me email you the intel and prove me wrong." A mail pinged into Samuel's inbox, and he eagerly opened it, finding a truth that sent tremors through him. "Shocking, isn't it?" the voice teased. A smirk crept across Samuel's face. "I didn't realize I already had him in my grasp. Even though the site I snagged belongs to his brother, Aeron Hermes, he's half-owner of the company, making it his too. This game just got interesting." Curiosity replaced amusement in the voice. "What's your next move?" "Oh, I'll let him try to pry the site from my clutches," Samuel drawled, savoring the anticipation. "As you wish," the voice conceded before disconnecting. Samuel devoured the det
"I know!!!!" "But the deal's a deal. I recorded your message. Even if nobody finds you yet, if I report you, you'll become the number one suspect in this country. So the answer depends on you too," Aaron messaged through the computer again. "Okay, I agree. I'm giving you some slack, Uncle," Samuel replied and released the website from his hold. "Aaron, did we get it? Did we get the site back?" Aeron Hermes asked, panicked. "Yes, he's released it. You can start fixing things up," Aaron said and walked out of the room. "Who could it be? Why did this person ask me about Sarah and Liah?" Aaron pondered as he left the room. He soon received a message: "Sir, we have a patient waiting for you. Hurry to the hospital." Seeing the message, Aaron put his thoughts aside and drove to the hospital. Meanwhile, Samuel removed his headphones and said, "This time, I gave up your website, but it won't always happen. I'm not always that generous, old uncle." "I just need confirmation from Aunt S
“What topic, Mom?” Samuel asked. “There’s nothing, Samuel! Eat your food,” Liah said, trying to ignore the topic. “Mom, you just said something can’t be shared in front of me, and why can’t I know if it’s related to me?” Samuel pressed. “Sam! When something is related to you, I’ll tell you. If I'm not telling you, then it's not necessary! So stop talking between elders.” Liah snapped. Samuel fell silent, but he thought, “I’m sure something’s brewing in both Mom and Sarah Aunt’s minds.” “Mom, I need something to do, so I'm taking my food to the room,” Samuel said and carried his plate upstairs while Liah finally turned to Sarah. “Did you see how interested he was in knowing about his father? But you kept dodging it,” Sarah said. “Enough of this topic, Sarah! I don’t want to hear about it. I know what I did, and I won’t regret this choice. But if I ever see him again, I’m sure I'll regret it deeply. And I’m not lying about it,” Liah declared. “Liah, you’re making a mistake. What
"Liah, stop drinking!!! You've had enough," my friends started shouting my name, but I couldn't help but keep on drinking, even though I hated it. It's not like this is the first time I've hated this, but someone made me addicted to it. “I think we should call him. Otherwise, she will be completely wasted," I heard my friends say. I snatched the phone from them and stood up. “Why are you always acting like you'll call him and all that? Can't I drink by myself? I'm twenty. I'm an adult. I can do whatever I want, and he's not my guardian.” “My friend has finally met me after all these years. Don't you think I deserve to celebrate this?” I said, but a hiccup interrupted me. “Then where is that friend of yours, Liah? Why are you alone with us when you don't even hang out with us much?” they asked. “She... she is at home. She's sick and can't get up. Two of her wolf-like bodyguards are watching over her, making sure she stays put. So, here I am, chilling,” I laughed as I said. “She su
He kissed my lips while holding me carefully and supporting me firmly. It was warm, but soon his hands roamed around my body like a snake. It tickled the shit out of me. I chuckled until he pinched my nipples while firmly massaging them, taking them in his mouth, and looking at me innocently.“I wonder how you were able to stop yourself this long.” I said while pushing the door loudly, making them lock directly. He carried me, holding my waist, and made me laugh once again, but soon my fun mood turned sensual as he kissed my stomach, making me have butterflies all over my body, giving me a weird sensation.“Baby, you are flinching a lot. I doubt anyone would believe you beat the shit out of me when we first met."He said this while kissing his way down there, kissing from my stomach to my thigh, leaving marks all over my body.I didn’t say anything. As he sucked the left thigh and bit me at the same time, I moaned. I didn’t know it could feel this good there.“Moan my name, babe!” he s
"Why is he calling Aaron?""What is with this title Brother?""What is going on?"I pondered loudly as I saw one of my childhood enemies' numbers on his phone which I got to know because of the picture he added in his contact. I still remember when I was a child, no girl wanted to be friends with me, and when I played with boys and when they got defeated, they used to start blaming me, and in the end, I ended up beating the hell out of them. But why is this person here?"Aaron, wake up!!! Someone is calling on your number!!" I tried to shake him to wake him up and receive the call, but he didn't. He was deeply asleep.I didn't know what to do. That's when the phone rang once again, prompting me to answer the call."Aaron, where are you? Do you even know from when I have been trying to call you?" the voice on the other end asked."Aaron, little brother!!! Can you hear me? Mom is nagging me to ask about you!!!!" the person said again, making me hang up on him. Now the pieces of the puzz
Five years later"Sam, wait!!!! Don't run so fast!" I shouted as he ran so fast the moment we got off the plane. It hasn't been less than a minute since the plane landed, but his excitement. I can’t say anything."Sam, stop right there or I'm going to stop all your gadgets and put you under house arrest," I warned him, which made him stop. I knew this trick is the only thing that's going to work on him, and see, it worked like a charm."Liah, why do you always use my gadgets as a threat? What have they done to you? They are just little babies," he pouted."Yeah, they are just little babies, then what are you? My mother? No, right? You too are just five years old kids, but your obsession with all the gadgets leaves me speechless," I said as I pushed my suitcase toward the entrance, where I found my assistant Mathew holding a name board with "Samuel" written on it."Yes, Mathew! It's me. You've come for me, right?" Sam hurried toward him and asked before I could."Yes, boss, I've come t
