Present Day... At The GalaManuel could never have expected such a downfall to occur to him. Nathan was up there receiving awards and praises and he had even managed to trick him into bringing all of his important guests. Silly bastard Tori! She tricked him good! Now for sure, the CEO would be quite popular all around town, and that could only mean one thing... Nathan Anakin's connections will grow.He couldn't speak, laugh nor cry. The betrayed man was numb.Minutes later, he couldn't take it anymore, so he turned towards the entrance and wished he could disappear just by staring at the mighty doors. And since he couldn't, he walked.Oh he walked so fast that one might even say he had been running.That was when Nathan sighted him. Before he began his other plan, he had to see Manuel first.His other plan being that he would make friends with all of the important people at that Gala. He wouldn't even need to try hard because friends would locate him!Instantly, he called out. "Mr Ma

Daniel Santino frowned, watching as Manuel spoke so confidently. "Which is why I want you to support me. The donation I made was only a token," Manuel said proudly. Daniel was one of the few important members of the board members, and if he were to side with his arch nemesis Nathan Anakin, then that was the end for him! "Fourteen years being among the board members, and ten years being a staff member of TMN insurance firm, I respect you good man." Daniel rolled his eyes in disbelief. He hated his presence with the old man. He disliked Manuel but if there was anything he detested more than the old man, it was his hatred for politics. He didn't belong to any party because he believed in the idea of being a lone wolf. They were at a coffee shop where Daniel took his early morning cup of Joe, and it was only because Manuel had known of his schedule. He would soon be changing his place of relaxation. That particular spot wasn't a safe place anymore. "Can you hear me, Mr Santino?" Mr?

The day went on much faster, free from stress. Isabella's party had helped him gain so much fame and recognition, and he was too happy to even be busy. Tori on the other hand, had complained that there had been too much work here and there. She said that his fame had brought more clients who trusted the firm for their good work. It was good news for them, still, it had been a tedious day. They were still discussing when there was a knock on the door. Tori rose up to check who it was. Standing before her was no other than Trevor Davis. He wore a dark color suit and brown shoes, and his hair had been neatly gelled as if he'd been going on an occasion. Though Tori couldn't tell whether that was the way Trevor normally dressed or not. She never really put much consideration into him and had been quite surprised when Fernando had included his name into the confidential list. "Mr Trevor," she said, half smiling. He didn't return the smile. What a pervert! "How may I help you--" "The last

Nathan arrived home that night, tired and slightly angry. How dare Thomas open his mouth and spew such nonsense? Doris was already waiting for him. "What's the matter?" The woman jumped up and rushed forward to meet her husband the instant he stepped in. "Are you okay?" Nathan managed a smile, kissed his wife on her forehead and then made his way over to the couch. She followed too, taking his bags off his shoulders. "Nathan?" He knew he would have to tell her. He'd hidden enough from her already. "It's your father." He said at last, and Doris listened quietly. "He asked that the dare changed. That you shouldn't become the family's CEO again," Her brows ceased. "But it won't be me again, it'll be our unborn child." She said, "He doesn't want that either." Nathan explained. "He wants to be the family's CEO, you see." Doris wasn't surprised. Her father was partially a greedy man, but it was always for a cause. "Perhaps he has his reason?" Nathan couldn't believe his ears. "His re
