Mr. Billionaire - S01 E53 (Story Episode)

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 53

It was so weird to believe that Liam had been kidnapped. Had been taken away from his family for five years to study how to be a kickass assassin. I couldn’t even tell. His parents never even let on that he’d been gone for so long.
“Well, you said you both picked up different skills. Skills like what?”

“I learned to heighten my senses. Lucas gained the ability to move almost invisibly. And Liam is the best fighter. I hate to admit it, but the guy can kick ass.” Ryan shook his head, something like awe on his face.
I could believe that. I nodded again.

“Liam said you hated him after he told you Lana and Hathaway were engaged,” I said softly.
Ryan turned to look at me, his expression unfathomable.
“That’s part of the reason,” he said slowly.

“There’s more to the story?”
“I hate Liam because of what happened the day before Lana died,” Ryan said, his voice so quiet I could barely hear him. “I asked if Liam could have someone protect her. His father owned the company at that time and Liam had no say in anything. His father didn’t have the resources at that time, no one was able to protect her. William was willing to try to pull strings however and he had men scheduled to stay with her that next week.”

He looks down at the New Yorkers walking, busy with their lives.

“But then she died. And when Liam showed up at the door, saying he found out Lana was engaged to the man who killed her, I lost it on him.”

I felt sad for him. I mean, I felt really bad for him.

And then I show up looking like her
doppelganger, I thought sullenly.

“I think you should set things right with Liam,” I told him.
He glanced at me, then the people below us and back.
“Even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t even know how to begin,” he replied.

“I always find it’s easy to begin with explaining why you were angry,” I said helpfully, looking at him seriously.

He smiled. “I’ll think about it.”
And that was enough for me. All I really wanted was to see two old friends unite again. Just because my friendship was lost didn’t mean Liam’s friendship had to be lost too.

It was late that night when they arrived at the Hawke manor.
It was quiet except for the soft clacking of Gretchen’s high heeled shoes and Kate’s labored, nervous breath.

In Gretchen’s hand were pliers. She walked to the Audi, the car that Liam had gotten for Yvonne.

She opened the car door and proceeded to cut out the brake.
The brake was in her hand and the job was almost done. Just one more touch.

She handed Kate the pliers. And Kate, the little fool, took them. How easy she was to manipulate.

After Gretchen was sure Kate’s fingerprints were all over the pliers, she took them.

“Do we have everything we need?” Kate asked.

Gretchen opened her mouth to say, yes, she had everything she needed, when she heard a slight shuffling.

Her head snapped and she met the eyes of a man. The man Yvonne had bought to Liam’s office. With research she gathered that his name was Levi.

Levi’s eyes were wide as he looked at the gloves Gretchen was wearing and the pliers in her hand and the newly cut out brake.

He backed away, ready to leave.

But, no, Gretchen couldn’t have that.

She pulled out a gun, it gleamed brightly even in the limited light, and she pulled the trigger.

Levi fell immediately and Kate gasped in horror.

“Why did you do that?” Kate cried out, looking like she was gonna be sick.

“Because he was gonna ruin my plans. You see, cutting out the brakes on Yvonne’s car is not what I have planned for her.” Gretchen smiled. “I have something far more gruesome in mind.”

Kate stared at her in disbelief.
“You’re crazy,” she gasped, shaking her head.

“And you’re useless,” Gretchen responded, shooting Kate in the head.

Kate’s body jerked, her eyes wide as she fell to the ground limply.

Gretchen placed the pliers and the gun in Kate’s hands, sitting the brakes nearby.

She looked into Kate’s lifeless eyes and wished they were Yvonne’s.

Soon, she thought.
She stood up and exited quickly. Undoubtedly Chauncey had heard the shots and was on his way down there. She stepped over Levi and left the Hawke manor quickly.

Liam was shaking me, trying to wake me up.

I groaned and opened my eyes. He was frowning.

I sat up, my eyes focusing. I could see now that Liam was looking at me pityingly.
My heart dropped.

“What happened?” I gasped, my voice thick with sleep.
“Yvonne,” Liam said my name softly, looking like he was at a loss for words.

“Liam, tell me,” I said, my voice hard.

He took a deep breath and said, “Chauncey found Levi and Kate’s bodies in my garage. Levi is in a coma and Kate…” he just looked at me.

My mouth dropped in shock.
Levi was in a coma.
Kate was dead.
