Chapter 69_ The punishment
There was an ear piercing silence in the hallway where the Grayson’s were gathered.
Angie and Nicholas stared at each other in shock only them knew about it, so how did mark find out about it?
Liam was dumbfounded at the level of wickedness of his grandfather. He remembered the old maid who helped him hide his mum when that fire broke out in the chapel years ago.
Now he finally understood everything, old Grayson purposely sent him out to pray for his sick mother that day to divert his attention.
Liam took slow steps towards old Grayson “You were the one who started that fire in the chapel to get rid of me, then you buried my mum alive”
Old Grayson raised his hand to stop Liam from coming towards him further. “I got rid of them because they were a pain in the neck to me!” his voice came out firm which showed no remorse whatsoever.
“Or perhaps they were heiress of affluent families, you married grandma because she had the right resources for your blooming business and my mum? she was also a heiress of a reputable family, you got your son married to her after you were done with her you got rid of her”
Angie gasped at the revelation of old Grayson’s real motive, ‘so does this mean he will also get rid of me?’ she thought inwardly.
“I did everything for our family! we are all respected today because of our wealth and resources”
Amelia held the sword to his throat “You are so lucky that you are way older than me if not I wouldn’t have hesitated to teach you a lesson myself”
“You three have committed a huge crime and by the way Liam I Know the perfect place for them” she added
“Whatever punishment that you give them Liam just remember that they are still your family” Mark suggested.
Liam raised a brow at him “And who told you that you are going to be spared?
He took out his phone and tapped on it for sometime before he faced them again. “Your punishments has been decided, none of you are allowed to step into this house and any other house that belongs to this family because they are all under my name! and for the records your bank accounts has been frozen”
“You all will have work to feed yourself or you can die of starvation for all I care” Liam said, his voice cold and icy..
..
Liam held Amelia’s hand taking her into his room in the Grayson’s home. “You crazy lady! who asked you to be a superhero? I would have been the one who got hurt but you had to get in the way!” Liam scolded taking out the first aid kit.
He returned to Amelia dressing the injury on her palm which was caused by the sword.
” should I have watched you get stabbed and slowly die?”
“so what if I died?”
Amelia placed her other palm over his lips to stop him from speaking further.
“If you die who will I fight with? or argue with? you are now connected to my heart Liam and if you try as much as to say anything that concerns death again I’ll surely break your limbs”
Liam’s gaze softened as he comprehended her words, he pulled her into his embrace and planted a kiss on her forehead.
“I promise that I won’t say such words again”
Their was a little knock on the door before it was pushed open, Chloe stepped into the room.
Liam massaged his temples, this little girl was like a thorn in his flesh. “Big bro are you really going to throw us out?”
Amelia touched her chest admiring the cutie in front of her.
“Is anything wrong? you are going with them! go on and pack your tiny luggage” Liam icyly stated to Chloe.
Amelia smacked his arm “Liam she is just a kid, she had nothing to do with all of these”
Liam rose up on his feet walking towards Chloe, he bent down to her height “Now listen little girl, if you choose to stay back I’ll make you sleep in a room filled with rats”
A look of fright crossed past the little girl’s eyes, she looked towards Amelia for help. “Liam come on, can’t you see how much she adores you?”
“Amelia listen…Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Amelia faced Chloe “Don’t worry you won’t go with them, you will stay with your big bro and I is that okay by you?”
Chloe nodded her head eagerly.
“See Liam it’s not really that hard to speak with kids”
Liam sighed he could see trouble coming if this little girl stays with them, he really didn’t care if she goes away or not.
Liam returned to the living room with Amelia and Chloe, by now the four people who were asked to leave the house were already standing with their luggages by their sides.
“Liam you’ll surely regret ever doing this to us” Nicholas started gritting his teeth.
“Show them their way out!” Liam ordered the guards who were present in the room.
“Wait! my daughter” Angie said rushing to Chloe who was with Amelia.
Liam blocked her from teaching Chloe with an arm stretched out “she is not going with you”
“Liam! my sister will come with us and that’s final!” Nicholas barked angrily.
Amelia used both her palm to close Chloe’s ears “Get out of here you all! she isn’t coming with you I don’t want you to poison her innocent mind against Liam you’ve already failed as a mother to teach your son the right path in life and I don’t want the same for this cutie”
“I’ll be the one to take care of her”
Angie’s sharp eyes met Amelia’s hazel eyes which had sparks in them. “And what will you teach her? huh? how to disrespect and talk back to her elders?”
“I’ll teach her to stay away and respond to people like you!” Amelia seconded
“Chloe don’t you want to go with mummy?”
Liam turned to the guards who were still standing idly. “What are you still waiting for? throw them all out!”
A guard grabbed angie pulling her away but she was giving a fit for it. “I want my daughter! let me go!”
Mark smiled at his son, he didn’t blame Liam for separating Chloe from them, what he did was right, he knew that he had hurt Liam a lot by keeping the truth away from him, all he hoped for was for Liam to find it in his heart to forgive him.
Chloe sobbed gently as she watched her mother and brother being dragged out like criminals..
..
Liam entered his car dismissing the driver, his brow furrowed when Amelia entered the backseat with Chloe.
“What a day!” Amelia exclaimed.
Liam stared at the girl from the rearview mirror and was tempted to crash the car.
“Come on Liam, I had a very tight schedule today but I left everything to be here hurry up I have a shoot today”.
“will you take her with you?”
“Not at all, she will go with you instead I’ll be very concentrated on the movie shoot”.
“sure! why not?” Liam’s lips curved into an evil grin.
