Finding Happiness book II- Falling into Place

Chapter 31 part 2 -Scandal (Hunted by the Past) (Unedited)

Liam P.O.V
We are still sorting how to find good evidences that can nail Jane's stepmom down, but we have decided to step away from it just for the sake of the family's health and we hired professional to deal with it. It's been weeks and things started to go to normal until three days ago when I started getting strange text messages, threats.

I've been disregarding it and keeping it away from Jane because the last thing she needs now is another stress.

It started with a message a day now it became 10 to 20 messages a day. I told John about it and he said he will look into it, but I don't him not to put too much focus on it because it wasn't the first time I would get stuff like that being a billionaire with public eyes watching, it became nothing. Don't even get me started on competitions.

The only thing giving me concern is that whoever is behind it sounds like he or she knows something that could ruin me and the only reason why I'm worried is because I've done many stupid things when I was younger, especially during my playboy time.

Morning routine in my home is usually the same. We make sure the kids are okay and they get to school safe before we leave for work or one of us does because the other is busy.

We got to work and I told Jane I would see her later. Even though we work in the same company and the same floor we get so busy that we don't eat lunch together.

What got us super busy lately is that a we have another potential investor who is  planning on investing a huge some of money. And he is mainly investing because of the new product we are working on and he happens to be interested in it, but we also found out he's looking into another company. So we want to make sure we get the deal, we get a lot of benefits from the deal if he choose us.

We have a presentation to give him and his advisor today on why they should invest on the products. We have been working our butts off on this presentation, many overtime and early morning making sure not just the presentation is flawless but the products.

We do get a lot of deals but sometimes we prioritize them, there are ones we can hand over to junior staffs and there are the ones we have to handle ourselves to get better result or when it's demanded by the clients or in this case investor. The ones we mostly deal with are the international or big companies here at home.

We already got our presentation set and ready to go, we have few board members with us and Head of departments that are concerned. The investor and his advisor are ready to be convinced.

The presentation was going smoothly until we got to the video that was supposed to show the process of our products but instead the most inappropriate things started popping up. It started with few messages.

'You thought I was joking when I said I would ruin you'
'You can't change who you are Liam, can't fight it'

The next thing that showed up were pictures of me naked with Britney and videos with her and a random girl we had threesome with. The pictures and videos are so shocking to me because I never knew they exited and the one I knew of I made sure it disappeared.

Another message came up saying 'I'm just getting started' before showing more pictures.

I couldn't even react because I was so shocked and it was unexpected. And of all places for this person to humiliate me they decide to do it during the most important we have been waiting for.

What came to my mind was to look at Jane. The disbelief in her face is not surprising. She is displeased but she composed herself seconds later and cleared her throat.

She stood up immediately and try to close down the laptop but the video still kept going, so she rushed to disconnect the wires she could find and switch of the monitor, while I was still on the same stop unable to move.
