Chapter 1 - chapter 1

He opened he's eyes slowly as the sounds from the alarm clock rang out.

"Does it have to be morning already and a Monday morning at that" Liam said to himself as he stretched his hand out to put off the alarm. He laid on he's bed for a while before deciding to prepare for the day as it was going to be a busy day. He came out from the bathroom drying he's hair with a towel wrapped around his waist when he heard a knock on the door. 

       "Come in" he said 

       "Good morning sir Liam" a maid greeted holding a three piece suit with a perfectly polished pair of black shoes

      "Good morning to you too Martha" Liam returned the greeting . "You can leave the outfit on the bed and please inform everyone I'll be out in 20"

      "Sure sir, I will" she replied as she left the room. 

       Liam got dressed and stood in front of the mirror looking at himself feeling he's forgetting something .

"Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something? Well if I am I will remember when I get to my office. But what if it's really important? Well it is what is" He said to himself as he grabbed he's suitcase and left the room.

      "Good morning uncle Liam " Cassidy greeted. 

      "Good morning to you Cassie. Hope you had a good night rest and where's your mother" Liam said to he's little niece while rubbing hair. 

      "Thought you said you'll be here in 20 Liam? What took you so long " He's sister Madison asked as she walked out of the kitchen holding a cup of coffee ment for Liam.

       "Good morning to you too sis you." He greeted her as he took the cup from her. "You really know how make me coffee" he smiled at her after taking a sip from the coffee. 

      "But it's not yo….. That's why I love you sis. You're the best." He interrupted her knowing she's going to whine about it all day. She glared at him not knowing what else to say. 

       "Casey ain't you done with breakfast?? We are running late".

       " I will be done in 2 mom. The food is really delicious" Cassie answered her mom with pleading eyes

      " Go easy on her Maddie she's just a child" Layla said as she walked down the stairs 

    "Grandma" Cassie jumped in excitement as she saw her.

    "You all spoil her too much and it's not nice"

"Or you're just jealous she's taking all the attention from you"Liam said with smirk 

  "What!!! Liam!!!!! She's my daughter for crying out loud. I can't be jealous of her." She said wondering if she was actually jealous. 

   "Hahahahaha. You kids never change. Cassie you're running late for school go meet your mom. And Maddie please be careful and have nice day at the office"Layla said to Casey and Maddie while the maid (Martha) served her breakfast.

    " sure mom I will, not like something amazing and different is going happen at the office today. Say bye to grandma and uncle Cassie" She said as she grabbed Cassie lunch box from the dining table.

    " Bye grandma,uncle Liam aren't you forgetting something??" She asked him

 "You never forget do you now" he smiled at her as he brought out a chocolate bar. "I will never forget this little niece". 

   "You're the best uncle." She said to him as she hugged him tight." Now go meet mommy so she won't get upset any further. "Bye uncle Liam" she said to him happily as she jumped in joy to her mom.

   The house became quiet the moment Casey and her mom left. Liam and he's mom ate breakfast quietly barely saying a word to each other.

     "How's the office Liam." Mrs Mickelson broke the silence.

    "Everything is quite alright mom. I know you are worried about the stolen goods but rest assured mom, I will find whoever did this and give them a fitting punishment" he said in a very cold voice. 

     Mrs Mickelson looked at her son worried  not because of the missing goods but worried about him giving love a second chance. Ever since the death of Daisy( ex wife) he has never thought of moving on with life or getting married again rather he became a cold young man who deep down is angry with himself for not being able to save his wife or child from dying during labor.

     "Mom, I'm off to work now. Scarlett won't be coming to the office for while due to some personal issues so I need to make sure her temporary replacement isn't some whore" Liam said as he kissed her goodbye.

       "Good morning mom, Good morning dad, hope you both had a good night rest" Andrea said as she walk across the dining room shoving a slice of bread in her mouth.

     "oh dear not again….!are you skipping breakfast my dear child" Abigail her mom said with a sigh 

    "As much as I would love to eat with you all I can't be late for my interview today after all first impressions always matters and you don't want my first impressions on them to be that of a late comer now do you " Andrea said as she kissed both her parents goodbye.

          "Well make sure you get something to eat on your way dear and good luck with your interview " Cyril said with a cute smile 

      "I love you dad" she said to him as she left the house.

" Dear God I hope this interview goes well in my favor and let the interviewer be in a good mood ,amen". Andrea said to herself as she hailed a taxi.
