Chapter 172: Black News

"It’s just..." she began but couldn’t find the right words to say.

"Talk to me babe," he said softly.

Her gaze met his.

"I’m just pissed off at myself that I can’t do anything to support you... I mean Liam you literally carry all the load, and I’m not doing anything, it hurts to feel that way not being able to support the one person I care about" she said.

Liam’s eyes soften at her words.

"Babe why do you think that way?!"

"Because Liam, I’m an O’Brien now, I have to do more as your wife".

"We only just got married yesterday" he states.

"It still doesn’t matter, I wanna be more helpful," she urged.

"Babe you are helpful, you’re my anchor, you fortify my ideas, think of ways to make me come out of a dire situation or when I can’t think for myself" he explained.

Riley got off him in silence, her back facing him, Liam rose to his feet behind her, approaching her slowly, he rubbed her shoulders from behind.

"Then why do I still feel that it’s not enough," she said faintly but Liam heard her.

With a swift move he turned her to face him, he cupped her cheeks with both hands, staring deep into her eyes, hoping she would see how meaningful he was.

"You have no idea how much you mean to me Riley O’Brien" he began. "You’re far more than just my wife and you know that... you have no idea how much you support me... how much it feels to have you by my side every day and every night" he confessed and he prayed she would understand him because everything he said was the truth, the truth that having her by his side was like a blessing, every waking moment, their bond sowed deep than being soulmates, they both knew that... they both felt it, what they had was storm and wind right at the same time, it was more than anything he could possibly ask for.

He never thought of her as not being enough, she was more than enough.

Riley smiled sweetly at his words, her heart fluttering by his words, staring deep into his chocolate brown eyes, she could see it all even without the words, each and every time he looked at her like she was the only woman in the world.

"Never feel that you aren’t enough for me, because you’re more than that" he states.

"But I wanna do more," she pouts. And it was nothing but the truth, she wanted to support him more, be there for him more, and do more than he could possibly ask for.

He chuckles slightly, this woman was something else. "And you will, for fuck sakes we just got married and you are already thinking about your responsibilities... fuck you’re one hell of a woman," he said before pressing his lips against hers.

"We aren’t done talking," Riley said between kisses as she moaned.

"Fuck the talk" Liam growled impatiently going in for another kiss.

A smile spread against her lips, and she kissed him further with all she had, he yanked her further to sit on his lap, and her towel covering what he so desperately wanted to touch slid off.

He kissed down to her neck and she moaned his name, closing her eyes in ecstasy, and then she suddenly got impatient.

Sensing this Liam adjusted her further against him, his pants sliding to midway and there was nothing stopping them now.

"Liam!" she yelped when he slid into her and began thrusting upward eagerly, her body jogged eagerly against him.

He plunged and her body shook more from it, their moans filled the room, and Riley’s hand dug further in his wonderful hair, as he brought her pleasure that lasted the entire night.

"The ghoul killer is alive?" Iris said, stunned. The mere discovery of it chilled her bones, the Ghoul Killer was a bad history for all of them.

"The boss’ honeymoon was ruined" Kayla pouts.

"Is that seriously what you’re thinking right now?" Race said, giving her a look.

Kayla just shrugged like it was nothing, Race sighed.

"Of course, he ruined it, that kid is super crazy and annoying"

On the widescreen, a video chat was going on, Liam was present.

"I want everyone to handle all perimeters of the town, make sure no exit or entrance is detectable from the outsiders," Liam said sternly.

"You got it, boss!" Race said as his fingers went fast against the keyboard.

"Aye sir," Kayla said, joining Race.

"Sean," Liam said, facing him.

"Are you guys okay?" Sean asked worriedly.

"We’re fine, how are things over there?" Liam asked.

"We’re good, you have nothing to worry about, hope you guys are coming back soon, it’s not safe out there," he said.

"We’re in the safest place we can be, a Hometown here in Portland, but we can’t move now, we were tracked, so we have to be careful, a week from now, we will be back," Liam said.

Sean nods in understanding.

"I will leave everything to you," Liam said as the video went offline.

"This is terrifying if the ghoul killer is back," Rory said. He was really bad news and now he was working for Vincent Jones, it truly was bad.

"We all know that Liam said he could be working with Vincent Jones and that doesn’t sound too good on our end," Sean said in deep thought.

"You think they are plotting something?" Iris asked certainly.

Sean faced her.

"He’s a Jones Iris, they are always plotting something," he said facing forward.

"We just have to find out what"

"Yes, I think the immigration should pause, for now, there’s an ongoing threat out there... we can’t risk it... yes... thank you... of course... yes... speak to the others.... hmm... all parameters must be secured" Liam said on the phone before ending the call, he took a heavy sigh before turning.

His gaze lands on his wife, seated on a wooden bench watching the kids a few distances away playing, a smile on her lips. Liam smiled knowing exactly what she was thinking, she wanted a family as much as he did, in due time they will, they just had to sort out all this craziness first.

He was about to go to her when Miles rushed to his side.

"You have to see this," he began in a serious tone.

Liam stared at him puzzled.

Operating Room

"From this very moment onward the government has agreed to restart the hunt on ghouls, after millions of protest around the world it have soon been understood that ghouls and humans can’t coexist as long as the being inside them thirst for our flesh... the agency shall see to it but it shall be ruled and managed by the real successor," the newscaster said, it didn’t just show in one country but across the globe, like a fire beacon rising with just their words.

"He’s starting the hunt again," Liam said sternly.

"How did he even pull this off, I thought the government came to an understanding," Miles said shaky, his eyes coated in fear, the hunt was restarting. Vincent Jones has brought it back into play.

"Seems like no matter how we try, their hearts will always be sway, by fear... yes fear, he’s making use of that to overpower them, the very tool he needs to make the world sire to him, he will use it to get what he wants... what has always made humans against us is fear... he’s using it again just like his sister did," Liam said sternly. He knew them quite well for that was always their gender, ’Fear’ will continue to drive them further, and Vincent Jones will just keep using it to his advantage like it was some sick game.

Another news came up but this time it was Vincent Jones present with several reporters, it played across the globe.

"My sister Barbra Jones went against everything we have been taught by our ancestors, she did unspeakable things when I left the agency in her care," Vincent said with sad eyes.

But Liam knew damn well he was faking it, making Liam so badly want to punch that look off his face, he was using his sister’s demise to get what he wants, to sway the hearts of the humans in fear, to tell them that it was all her doings so that he can resume the hunt, he was manipulating everyone without lifting much of a finger.

Looking at it right now, this man never cared about his own family, it was all about using each other like they were some tool, a tool to a means that will drive the world to hell, he will keep driving this world to chaos, that was an inevitable way of his.
