"That's bullshit, what do you mean my son doesn't have a right in his brothers fortune. Liam's dead and so is his wife, we the family should be the ones incharge of everything they left behind. And we have chosen Rafael to be incharge!" Donovan declared.
Carlos just didn't know what to do anymore, they've been searching for Elsa everywhere but has not been able to find her. He's said this countless times but it seems like they cannot understand his words. No member of the family Is allowed close to Liam's properties.
Carlos knew his master was alive, but what he didn't know was that the man has woken and is back to the city. The man gave an order previously to his workers, lawyers and business partners that if he was to die, all his assets must be given to his wife and if he has children then to them too.
But if he doesn't, his money and businesses would be given to several orphanage homes around the world. Liam just didn't find his family worthy of having anything from him. He knew the kind of people they were and what they were capable of.
Right now, Donovan looks like someone that could kill, and Carlos didn't know how to pass down his master's order to him. His gaze went to Florence and her daughter, and then Rafael who glared at him. He also met Barrett's gaze, the man also glared at him.
Carlos made his decision immediately, it's either he let's them know about the truth or nothing. He pushed his glasses up above his nose sniffing the air a little before parting his lips to speak. "That will not be necessary Carlos, let me take it from here." Liam stepped into the mansion making everyone flinch.
He knew what their reaction would be like so he wasn't surprise to see them act this way. They would be surprised, especially after trying to kill him, this is not Rafael's first attempt and he didn't think it would be the man's last attempts
The cold aura emanating from him made them all shiver, the beast was not smiling, and his presence in their meeting meant only one thing....... Death. Barrett frowned at this, this boy was as irritating as his mother.
The man commanded power by just his movement, a sight of him is enough to make people tremble in fear. He hasn't seen a man that commands so much power and authority as thses man standing before him. He's always wished that Raf had similar qualities, but he doesn't. No one has it.
Donovan stared at his son in disbelief, they thought he was dead for real this time...... Florence had a grave look on her face, she was terrified by his presence. Who wouldn't be?
She couldn't believe this, how was it possible for Liam to escape that bomb blast? She knew the man was dead cause they found the ashes that matched his father's gene but seeing him now...... It was so impossible for this man to still be alive. She suddenly flinched when his black eyes met hers.
Liam knew she's done something terrible but he still could not wrap his hands around it. It felt like a blurred memory and each time he tries to recall what had happened he suddenly get this severe headache that is so unbearable.
He felt like he's lost a huge part of him, but he just couldn't tell what it was. He's always someone that restrains himself but since he woke up, he gets really upset for no reason. He didn't understand why, and his men looked like they were hiding something from him.
Tiger thought of how to give the man with wide eyes a look for him to stay calm as he was stuck in the car. He didn't want Carlos telling their boss his precious jewel was missing else, hell will be let loose. And the first flames will definitely decend on them. It's not the first time this beast has punished them, who would want to go through his tortures again?
Liam would definitely deal with Tiger for saving his life, and then with the rest for not being active enough in protecting her but that will not be as terrible as now.
Tiger knew how important Elsa was to his boss, but it was best they don't let the man know and find her themselves as soon as possible. It was easy to know where Lou must be, but where Elsa is might be a puzzle they all might not be able to solve.
They all watched the dark man sit on the couch quietly, and Florence lips curled. She is the smartest of everyone in this room, and one look at the man she knew he was not himself.
"It's a good thing you're back Liam, we were just talking about your half marriage with my daughter Claire. We can't possibly hide her forever, the world needs to know she's your wife!" Florence said meaningfully, gaining his attention and the man met her gaze.
His eyes went to the little girl with blonde hair, she was beautiful and her jade green eyes was alluring, which made her no different from the rest he's met. "I'm not a kid for you to keep offering different women to me as my wife!" He got up.
Donovan stared at his son in slight confusion, Florence just lied to him few seconds ago. Does this mean he cannot remember who his wife is? This is the right time to get that girl out of his life forever. Donovan liked her before, but after her little drama performance since Liam's death, he just didn't want her in their family again.
He felt so happy and pleased when he heard Elsa was missing. All Donovan wanted was to fill the the huge gap he had with his son Rafael. He had abandoned the boy for years now, giving all his attention to something else, this was the right time to love his son. After all, Rafael is more of a son to him than Liam is.
He loved his mother, only that he was scared of his wife then, that's why he didn't let their relationship known. He knew she would have killed the woman as she was only a mere maid then, it's not liked he liked his marriage with her as he was forced into a contract marraige when they were only teenagers. Yes they fell in love or got attracted to each other, but that was only for a very short time.
She was a beautiful woman, but he never choosed her to be his wife, and after numerous sex together, he got tired of her. He always tried to escape from her by focussing more on his business, only to come back when they had important family trips together. Which only happened once in months.
He was happy when he finally had a son with the woman, but that didn't mean he loved her. He hated to spend time with his family and would rather spend time with women in brothels. His wife found out about his flirtatious act, and that led to them having problems.
Donovan was her first Love and she had given her all to him, only for her heart to get broken. She got depressed and slowly it became a mental issue, which she often got violent at times when she finds out he's cheating. Donovan had always wanted to introduce Rafael to her, but was always scared that she might kill his son that's one of the reasons for giving him to Barrett.
It was shameful he had another child two years after having his first, for not just any woman but his maid. He had sworn he loved his first wife and always thought their love would last forever, but he didn't know what happened that made him loose his love completely for her. He jolted back to reality when he heard a loud bang and the women next to him screaming.
Before they all knew what was happening, Rafael was on the floor. "Liam don't do that, that's your brother." Donovan screamed with trembling voice. This is the reason he's always pleaded on Rafael's behalf each time he angered Liam. Donovan knew he has not raised a son, but terror, he has raised a beast.
Who knew killing his mother before the boy at that little age would turn him into an isolated monster. He knew he lost his little vibrant happy baby boy the very day he killed his wife. The boy doesn't consider him a family which Donovan was very aware of, but he wondered why Liam has not taken his revenge on him yet.
He wondered why he still calls him father, and still does whatever he ask without protesting. "Did you also tell him he's my younger brother when he plotted my death?" He shot the Rafael's arms earning a scream from Maisha. The woman was frightened by the sight before her.
Florence held the her daughter firmly, any wrong move at this point might end her life as well. She shook in fear so did Claire who's ear now bled from the sound of the gun.
Dax was about to run when a bullet passed through his legs too. "Liam!" Maisha screamed above her voice. "I've all told you to stop messing around with me or what's mine!" That words just got out of his mouth and he gritted his teeth. The rage he could not control was coming back to him, he didn't understand why he was feeling this way, why the hell was he so upset?
"Liam please, don't kill your brother, I'm sure he had no idea you're his brother!" His cold eyes met Donovan's gaze. He was a ruthless being not one that showed mercy or compassion to anyone. They tried to kill him, and not only that, they were also fighting for his fortune.
