"Who the f**k is this?." Liam mumbled out those words angrily as he picked the call without even bothering to check who it was. He slept off while trying to sort things out.
"I'm sorry sir, I called to report to you." The person replied instantly to avoid being fired.
He rolled his eyes and rested his head on the headboard. "Start talking."
"Riley and Matt ended up in a hotel because he narrated how much he knew about you, they had s*x throughout the night and she is back to her apartment now" he reported, Liam's eyes widened after hearing that, a flush of anger gushed through his spine.
"Are you sure?." He asked for confirmation.
"Yes sir." He tossed his phone on the floor and sprung off his seat. "I have never held hands, kissed or even hugged her before, she just allowed someone whom she knew a few days ago to get down with her.
I have been the stupid one who thinks she will get to love me, I did everything to get attention, she never looked at me romantically for once and I kept on helping her." He cried out in a loud voice, his eyes landed on the laptop.
"Riley you will regret what you have done. I won't think twice before taking everything away from you one after the other, little by little" he threatened with a deep frown on his face.
"Mum, I'm happy." Riley shouted as soon as she walked into the living room, her mother was descending the stairs. She looked at her puzzle.
"What's going on?" she asked, staring at her, she couldn't stop herself from smiling.
"Matt asked me to marry him last night, it was too sudden that we couldn't get a ring but we got a room. After three years of being in b*****e, I had the greatest s*x of my life with the perfect guy. I am so lucky Mum" she twirled after narrating with a big smile on her face.
"And I am so happy for you. I can't wait to brag to those who looked down on me when you were with that fool that Matt is my soon to be son-in-law, a wealthy and popular one at that." Evelyn imagined with a fulfilled smile.
"So, when is he going to propose? And when is the big wedding happening? We need to start planning immediately." She bombarded her with questions.
"There is no need to rush, everything will be done at the appropriate time but for now, you need to calm down.
However, he got a business call this morning that the plans had changed. The meeting scheduled for tomorrow needs to take place today in Asia and he will be back in a week's time. He promised to visit you immediately after his arrival and will also take me to Liamson" she explained calmly, still smiling. Evelyn opened her mouth out of surprise.
"Liamson?."
"Yes, they are close friends, which means I would get to sign more contracts, and the Williams family members will see me as the most important person in the family." She bragged, raising up her shoulders.
"We need to drink to that." Evelyn ran to the bar to get wine.
"Soon, I will be a billionaire, a wife to a billionaire and a friend to a billionaire." She shouted excitedly and twirled again.
Liam scrutinized the invited businessmen and guests for the annual conference after adding and removing some names. "You can send out the invitation cards now, make sure the event planners don't make any mistakes, everything must be perfect and grand." He instructed, dropping the list on the table.
"I understand sir,"Lisa said with a bow.
The elevator opened, a masculine figure appeared, and smiled on spotting Liam.
"Finally, you are back." He said happily, Liam stood up and smiled at him.
"Yes, I realised this is where I belong. I miss you my brother." He replied, they pulled each other into a hug.
"You are more handsome than the last time I saw you, your wife did a great job." He teased, Liam chuckled awkwardly. "Don't be a silly man, come have your seat."
Lisa stood up smiling. "Good day Mr Matt Bravely, I am so glad to see you for the first time." She voiced out, she couldn't hold back her joy.
"If you are with him, then you will see more often." He said with a wink, Lisa blushed hard, and tried so hard to comfort herself.
"You can go now, I will get back to you later." He dismissed her immediately.
"I can't believe you still flirt with girls like this, you can't change, will you?." He chuckled slightly, walking over to the bar.
"You know I can't. One of the reasons I came back was because my team found a replica of me who goes about f**king girls, and duping people. I need to find him and make him pay" Matt complained bitterly, sighed out.
Liam scoffed, returned with the drink, then he brought out his phone and showed him the pictures Riley sent. "You meant this guy?"
Matt narrowed his eyes looking more shocked. "This person looked exactly like me, but is that not Riley, your wife?."
"My ex-wife [he looked at him indifferently], she asked for a public divorce yesterday, I signed those papers and we are done, don't feel sorry for me" he explained, laughing out loud.
"That must have been painful, what do you think we should do to him?."
Liam poured himself some wine and got up. "You don't need to do anything, just follow my lead and I will handle it." He said, releasing an evil smirk.
