Liam's private jet arrived at Harrisburg International Airport. He was looking forward to getting off the plane to head to the address he now held in his hands. His stomach was in knots and he worried about what would happen once he arrived. He left the plane, collected his luggage and headed to a waiting limo wearing a T-shirt and jeans. He told the driver the address and thought about what he'd say to Riley should she actually be at 1601 E. Chocolate Ave. He wondered if it was only Drake and his wife and Riley wouldn't be found. He tried not to give up hope on finding Riley. He refocused himself on what to say to her once he arrived Liam knew he'd only have one shot at winning her back. He finally arrived at the address and looked at the small white house. He had the limo driver park around the corner and took a pair of binoculars with him as he left the limo.

Liam walked the opposite side of the road so that he could view the property without being noticed. He knew he couldn't stay in one place long he set the timer on his watch. Liam had figured 15 minutes was more than enough time he feared any longer would cause alarm by the neighbors. Liam quickly spotted Drake through the binoculars he would recognize his best friend anywhere. There with Drake was a woman and two children. They seemed to be so happy could he really invade that happiness. Liam put down the binoculars while he questioned if he should approach or not. He was so lost within his own mind he hadn't heard the person approaching until he had heard, "You should go say hi to him King Liam. However, Riley isn't there if you wish to see her you'd have to trust me."

Liam turned slowly and looked at the man before crossing the street to talk with Drake. He now had a lot of questions for his one time best friend. Drake looked up in surprise as he recognized his one time best friend approaching. He questioned, "Liam" He smiled saying, "Hi Drake. Cordonia is finally safe enough to bring my queen home if she'd have me. I was hoping Riley was here."

Drake sighed saying, "Liam you know I love you but, I left because it was so corrupt and I just couldn't watch it corrupt you too." Liam nodded before saying, "I have made lots of laws to prevent that corruption again. There is also now a council in place that all nobles must consult before applying any sentence. You and your family are welcome back if you'd like to. I have a Dutchy that I'd like you to run as it's currently without a Duke and Dutchess. I need people who will think of Cordonia before themselves in charge."

Drake nodded replying, "My wife and I will discuss it. Don't get your hopes up though Liam. If you get Riley to agree my wife will be willing to go. Are you willing to do what is needed to meet with her though Liam." Liam looked confused asking, "What do I need to do?" Drake smirked before saying, "You will never find her without following all the rules. You will have to leave your cell phone behind. Also, you will have to allow Tony here to tie you up and blindfold you. He will take you to Riley you will know why once you meet with her. I am not sure she will return with you, Liam. You hurt her she was a reck when I found her." Liam looked shocked before he asked, "How long will this take?"

Tony stepped forward as he said, "It's a three-day drive to where she is. When we stop it will be a cheap hotel and we will pay by cash. Each leg will get a new vehicle and you will get a new travel companion. Each of us doesn't know the details of any leg but our own. I will warn you now that if you choose not to Riley will likely relocate Drake and his family. Hiding them somewhere else you won't look for years. I am a part of his security team. You need to decide Liam because should Drake join her in seclusion you won't find her again until she returns to Cordonia. I would advise you not to wait, sir."

Drake now said, "You could think on it while I introduce you to my family. I do agree with Tony you shouldn't wait." Drake motioned his wife and kids over introducing her and their two daughters. Drake blushed slightly before saying, "You know I had it bad for her once. She had admitted feelings for me, Liam. I knew how you felt for her at the time and not only pushed her away but told her it would never be. At your coronation, I told her I had been a fool and she gave me a goodbye kiss. Whatever she had felt for me had died. I had pushed her too far been too rude. The saddest thing here is I pushed her straight into your arms and then you turned her away."

He held up his hand knowing Liam would argue continuing," That is what it looked like Liam she was so hurt even more so with the agreement and plan you made with Regina and Madeleine. She isn't that kind of woman Liam she never was. I had to learn that one the hard way." Liam nodded saying, "I will have to dismiss the driver of the Limo but after I can go." Liam left to the limo dismissing the driver before returning to Drake and Tony.

Liam did as he was told to by Drake taking a shower and changing his clothes and subjecting himself to being bound and blindfolded. The car had music playing and the ride was rather pleasant other than not knowing where he was being taken. The hotel he found himself at was decent but not a place he would have chosen. He was glad he didn't have to remain blindfolded or tied up. He had been fed and provided with new clothes during the trip. Sebastian was the next person to arrive to take him on the next leg of the trip. It was a short ride before he was led to what he realized was a plane. He knew that the moment his ears felt the change in pressure.

He had been given juice boxes during the flight and even a meal of finger foods. Eventually, he found himself in another hotel. He now had more questions than answers the biggest one was why? The final leg had him taking another flight this time with Damien the jet lag was catching up to him and he slept most of the trip. He had been deposited in a small cottage surrounded by mountains. It was the first time he had been spoken too. Damien glared at him asking, "Why are you here sir? I only wish to protect Riley." Liam looked at the man straight in the eye before saying, "I know I made a mistake I'd like to correct it. I'm not here to hurt her I love her." Damien nodded before leaving the cottage.
