Chapter 2 - 18th Birthday

Liam goes down the symmetrical staircase on the left which will lead hin to the dining hall. As he walks down the stairs he could see all the servants waiting for him.

The room was squeaky clean, even the chandeliers and portraits of him and his father. And also the portrait of his mother he never felt and did not even remember.

*EHEM*

"Master Liam, the Master has been waiting for you along with some visitors."

Liam returned to his senses because of Winston's wake up call after being in a daze while walking to the dining room.

Liam stood silently in front of the dining room.

He realised for a moment that he never met any friends of his father as they always initiate a private talk among themselves.

That one moment he remembered that he does not even have many friends. His only friends are sons and daughters of influential families that are business partners of his family.

However, he doesn't consider them real friends except for two of his best friends that he met in a normal way in school. That school is called Kingdom Special Colleges or KSC, which is known to hone great students in almost all aspects on all types of industries.

One of them is called Don Van Lee , he is good at musical instruments basically a genius at music. The other is Kent Herwin, great at basketball and a varsity, aslo a genius only in sports. While Liam is also a top student, great at academics in all aspect. They are dubbed the T3G or Top 3 Geniuses. Not only they are geniuses but also tall and handsome. They are basically the perfect boyfriend material.

As Liam opens the door, he enters and bow to his father and his visitors.

"Good Day, Father. Good Day visitors. Please forgive me for my intrusion."

After that he immediately sits in the end of the table and served food by the servants.

"Where did we stop? Right. Well, as you can see. My son here is very polite and humble, you can see that he is also hansome perfect for the young miss. They can be the perfect couple. Rather, will be the perfect couple."Said Ronald to their visistor.

Liam could see that they have three visitors. A Family of three which he did not know who. The man was buffed but not ripped. Tall and had black hair and chiseled face with black eye. The woman on the other hand was lean and had a rosy tone. Beautiful and had blonde hair and blue eyes. Lastly, the girl. She was beautiful, kind of tall only half a head of Liam as he is about 6"3. Blonde hair and black eyes. Lean and skin as white as snow, comparable to Liam.

"Mr. Blake, we are more than happy to make him the partner of our gorgeous daughter." Said the lady joyously to Ronald as he examine Liam.

"Of course. Of course. We don't want to hinder the happiness of our children, that's why we believe that we should engage them as soon as possible." Said the man as he glance at Ronald with a glint in his eyes.

The meal continued for the three as they talk happily about the future. They left the two alone so that they can familiarise themselves to each other.

Liam continued to eat in silence while the girl did the same. Only after finishing the platter did Liam talked.

"So, who are you and what do you want?"

He asked the question nonchalantly not even asking for her name.

"Pardon me for not introducing myself. My name is Vanella Rosestitch. 17 and going to be engaged to you as what you have heard in the conversation earlier."

"I'm Liam Blake and I have no intention to be someone I do not know nor love."

He slammed his hands on the table and walked out. Walked directly to his room and opened his phone. Then a notification rang right after leaving his phone to take a shower.

Vanella being left alone, wandered in the mansion with her servants waiting for her parents to get back.

"Mr. David please keep your end of the deal so we won't have any problem. And Ms. Rosaline, keep taking care of your daughter. I don't want a nobody to be in our household. I have warned you!"

The Rosestitch Family had gained the favour of the Blake and Monbright Family. These two family wants the technology developed by this small family. However, these families had a mutual benefit from each other as the Rosestitch Family will rise along the two.

"Absolutey Mr. Ronald however you also need to keep your promise. We will engage the two on Liam's 18th birthday ad we will announce it to the media." Replies Mr. David to make sure of their agreement is still intact and benefit each other.

During that time, Liam was looking at the background of the Rosestitch Family. He was rather surprised to know that they are a low grade family. Rather than that they have a business in the technology industry.

Liam didn't know what to do, decide to disagree or follow orders. He sat silently on the balcony watching the stars in the clear night sky.

Suddenly he had the urge to check his phone for something new and interesting. He carefully browsed the internet for something unique. Discoveries or even theories. He swiped down in his phone and his notification board showed up. Reading them carefully, he removed unnecessary notification.

Looking at his phone he glanced at a blank notification with a logo of a book. He sat on his bed and tapped on it.

Suddenly, he finds himself in a void space with engravings. He looked around and saw a floating tablet. Walking towards it, he caressed the tablet when it lit.

*TOOT*TOOT*

"Congratulations! Liam Blake, you have been chosen as an awakener."

'An awakener? What's that?' Thought to himself.
