Chapter 2 Hurt

CHAPTER 2

Liam's uncle dropped the phone after noticing Liam wasn't going to say anything again. "Poor boy," he thought. He had foreseen a situation like this a few years ago when his nephew, Liam had proposed to marry her.

The family had wanted him to be married to someone else, a rich family like theirs but Liam had opposed and left the house. Grandpa Brooker, who was very short-tempered, had gotten angry and cut him off from his access to their properties.

He did not only do that but also exiled his grandson from the city, he wasn't only rich but had power and fame. He controlled the whole country underneath.

He was far beyond stunned, the couple had just gotten married a few years ago with the massive love they had shown each other, he couldn't believe they would be divorced in just a few years.

Grandpa Brooker was right all along, none of these peasants were to be trusted at all. His nephew has made a big mistake trusting them and now he had to pay for the consequences. His heart leaped for joy knowing that Liam will soon be back home, and he will resume as the sole heir of the Brooker properties.

He has always wished for these for a long time and now his wish will come to pass, shrugging happily he went inside to break the news to some of the family members. Several questions ran through his mind, why did they break up their marriage?

Liam had begged him to invest in his wife's property and he did just that. Just to ensure that they were at least living comfortably. He was worried about his nephew, wanting to see him now so he could ask him all of his questions. "Children and making mistakes. Only if he had listened to the family," Liam's uncle said, shaking his head with a sad smile.

________________________________

Liam, standing there to regain his senses before wanting to get on the bike. The cold breeze hit him harshly as he poured out all his emotions. Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned slightly to see his wife and the supposed "playboy". Trying to control himself, he continued watching them. His wife carried the limping man, who in turn held her waist so close to himself.

Anderson shot Liam a smirk while doing so, he only wanted to frustrate and provoke Liam. Liam knew what he was doing, and took his eyes away from them.

Anderson was very annoyed, he wanted to be back home so he could plan again. His plan had failed when this son of a bitch interrupted their conversation. His only mission was to get into the leg of this bitch, he had tried convincing her but she held back saying she was married.

He drugged the water which he served to her, if she had drunk it, he would have had his way with her. She was very vulnerable, especially since her family was pushing her into this. Glaring at Liam again, he wished he could teach him a very good lesson.

Not only did he disrupt his plans but also almost beat him to a pulp. "I will kill that son of a bitch!" he mutters angrily to himself. He had never been disgraced like this before and the two of them had to pay.

Getting into his car, the car drove away. Hazel watched the car drive away, just as she was about to turn to Liam, she noticed his bike moving speedily. Now left alone, she burst into fresh tears.

She wanted Liam to understand but he wasn't understanding. Her mother was forcing her to do things that she didn't want. All through her ride home, she continued shedding tears.

Liam arrived at his house, and soon after his wife also arrived. They both stared at each other with so many emotions but rather remained quiet. Liam moved away from her and started packing his properties.

He didn't have many things to pack here as he had only a few clothes and shoes. Hazel stared at him with tears in her eyes, she definitely didn't want all of this that was happening. She wanted to give him all her deposits so at least he could start a new life somewhere.

Her love for him was unmeasured, she didn't just love him because of his physical looks but also mentally. He was an intelligent young man but he had been working so poorly with his bachelor's degree.

He could barely raise money for the family and everything was on her. This wasn't the life she had always envisioned for herself. She wished for something better than all of this.

Slowly, disappointment started masking her pain. She was disappointed with him because he had made her mother push her into something she didn't want, only if he was able to work harder!

However, she hadn't expected him to agree to the divorce so easily. Did he even love her at all? Her body shook, thinking about the possibility that her mother had been right all along. Did he only want to use her?

She felt incomplete, staring at him packing his belongings. She felt like she was losing something so important in her life. Her hands slowly wanted to reach him but her mother and brother immediately entered the room with mockery evident in their tone. "We are here to celebrate your divorce," she heard her mother say with an excited tone.

"Mom, stop this!" She tried saying but they weren't listening to her. They danced around while laughing at Liam. "Don't take that Liam, didn't Hazel buy it for your birthday?

Don't you have shame, you don't have the right to take that," Hazel's mother said, moving towards him to snatch the Gucci shoe her daughter had bought for him. "You don't deserve to take anything expensive in this house!" She said pointing at him. Liam ignored them and continued packing the rest of his properties.

Hazel suddenly heard something shattering on the floor, running to where they were. She looked in horror as she noticed her brother had thrown a picture frame of Liam and his mother. She couldn't bear the hostility in the room so she moved to the next room.

Liam suddenly turned to Hazel's brother, Alex and threw him a punch. Rushing to separate them, Liam pushed her away making her fall on the floor.

She stared at her brother as he received the beating of his life. "How dare you do this to my son!" She heard her mother's angry voice as she marched to him. Liam raised his hands to slap his mother in law but refrained himself before leaving the house.

"How dare he?" Hazel's mother asked angrily as she paced around the room. He is going to pay.

Hazel was beyond shocked, she hadn't seen this side of Liam before. He was always nice to everyone. She just hoped she hadn't broken him.
