I changed the sheets, took a shower, and then lay down on the bed, turning on the home security camera I'd kept off for a while. It had been installed before Grace moved in, originally to keep an eye out for burglars.
After a good night's sleep, I got up early. Liam had made breakfast as usual. I ate a little and casually asked, "By the way, Liam, didn't you have plans to meet up with your friends today?"
In my previous life, after I gave him my virginity, he took me to a gathering where I got drunk and his friends took advantage of me. He then used footage from that event to manipulate me, making me his puppet.
Liam nodded. "Bella, do you have some time? I really want you to meet my friends."
"I'd love to meet them. When are we heading out?" I asked.
Liam thought for a moment. "We can go now."
After breakfast, we took a cab to a residential area. At one of the villas, I met many of Liam's friends, including the one I was most interested in seeing.
Among Liam's friends, there was one decent guy who, back when I was being mistreated, tried to call the police but was knocked out. Later, Liam set him up, causing him huge losses and almost bankrupting him.
