“Wake up!” Charles continued to shake Nathan by the arm vigorously. Nathan yawned and quickly sprung from the couch. He began to wipe his drowsy eyes with the edge of his palms. “What time is it?” he mumbled. “Time to meet the underground boss,” Charles replied. Nathan’s eyes widened. When he looked up at the wall clock, he discovered that it was a quarter to 7 am. He turned to Charles and realized that Charles was already dressed. Charles moved to the window on the left and parted the railings. When Nathan looked through the window, he saw a black limousine parked inside the villa by the gate. “Gregor was here a while ago while you were still dozing off. The underground boss wants us in his place for breakfast.” Charles revealed. Nathan began to unbutton his shirt. “When is he expecting us?”“In the next 30 minutes,” Charles replied. Nathan rushed to the bathroom. **** “This way!”Philip led the group into the exotic dining room. Nathan walked into the room dressed in one o

An excited Nathan hurried down the staircase and found his way to the guest living room where Charles and Gregor were conversing. They had just concluded their tour of the mansion.Both men stood up when they saw Nathan hurrying toward them.“I was starting to get worried. You were gone for almost three hours.” Charles said and walked up to Nathan. He stopped when he noticed that Nathan’s face was beaming with excitement.Nathan flashed his newly acquired ring at Charles with a broad smile. “I did it.”Charles arched a brow. “Wait, the underground boss gave this ring to you? What does it signify? Does it mean that he’s endorsing you as President of the billionaire’s club?”Gregor walked up to them and faced Charles with a smile. “It means that he’s now an Elder.” He then turned to Nathan and extended his hand toward you. “Congratulations on becoming a continental.”Nathan shook him maintaining the broad smile. “Thank you.”Charles folded his arms across his chest. “I don’t get it.” “

“Who the fuck is it?” Corrigan barked through the phone like a wounded lion. He was bleeding through his heart. Right after his meeting with the underground boos, he had marched straight to his vehicle looking furious. He got into the car and instructed his driver to get to the hangar so he could board his private jet and get the hell out of the city. Then the call came. “I need to tell you something, sir.” Corrigan took a deep breath after decoding the voice as his assistant’s. He was too pissed to even stare at the phone screen. “What’s the matter and why the fuck can’t it wait?” he fired and motioned to his chauffeur to drive faster. The caller sighed and proceeded to clear his throat loudly. “Get on with it,” Corrigan yelled, causing wrinkles to appear instantly on his forehead. “Stop wasting my time.” “Yes sir. I’m sorry sir.” Corrigan was growing more impatient. “It’s about the stock market.” Corrigan exhaled and threw his back against the car seat but a few m

Mike appeared in the scene and stretched his hand toward Nathan. “It’s good to see you, Young Master.”Nathan shook him with a grin.Mike withdrew his hands and playfully slapped his thighs. “Sorry, I didn’t come with a bouquet.”They all broke out laughing.Nathan took the huge bouquet from Elaine and faced the staff. “I would have loved to collect everything at once but looks like my hands are full.” He turned to a group of guards standing behind him. “Help me get my flowers, please.”The guards swung into action.“Everyone, come into the reception with me. I’ve got a small briefing.” Nathan announced.Mike led him inside while the rest followed, chatting happily.A few minutes later, Nathan was standing beside the counter while the entire staff was at a corner by the door. Elaine was standing beside Mike while Jackson towered above Nathan.Nathan cleared his throat loudly. “Thank you once again for the flowers.” He began. “It gladdens my heart that you guys are appreciative of the

Derrick stopped the moment he approached the entrance. From his spot, he could see Nathan sitting opposite Avery. He watched Nathan join his palms before Avery and he could tell that he was looking for some sort of forgiveness. Derrick smirked and then clenched his jaw. The last thing he would do was apologize to any girl. Meanwhile, he had just left Tyson’s mansion and had decided to spend some time in a private longue when he noticed the duo. Back at their table, Avery was still mad at Nathan and was barely paying attention to his apology. As far as she was concerned, his reasons weren’t solid enough. He was the brand ambassador of her male skin care products and she was looking forward to his arrival at the event not just as her boyfriend but as Alex. While Nathan was still apologizing to her, Derrick decided to move closer and eavesdrop because his ears were begging to hear. Avery snatched her phone from the table. “I think I should leave and maybe you’d stop making excuses,
