Nathan tossed from one edge of his bed to the other. He had been trying to fall asleep but it seems sleep had eluded him. He rubbed his eyes with the edge of his palms and stared at the heart-shaped gold-colored clock that hung above him. It was seven minutes past 1 pm. After his session at the gym with Ben earlier, he had called Larry to come and pick him up. By the time Nathan got to the mansion, the boys were already done with their session though Nathan wasn’t sure if they engaged in a tour at the gym or worked out. After taking their showers, Nathan and his friends settled for some Chinese rice and liver sauce. Nathan then decided to take a nap while the boys remained in the living room. It’s been thirty minutes of tossing around and Nathan barely fell asleep. He sighed and wrapped his hands behind his head, his face facing the chandelier. Nathan couldn’t help but wonder why the workers he had been encountering at his father’s company seemed rude regardless of their positi

Chapter 64Nathan darted his gaze down to the man kneeling before him. He sighed and ran his left hand through his hair.“Get up Bart!”The man was indecisive. Should he remain on his knees and continue to plead for mercy or should he stand up as Nathan requested he wondered. “Get up and return to your office,” Nathan stated. Bart stood up and turned away. He couldn’t even look Nathan in the face. Nathan watched him turn around and head back to his office. He then pulled out his phone and placed a call to Larry. “Come and meet me inside the bank at the reception downstairs.”Nathan made his way down the staircase. He marched to the security officers at the doorpost.Daylan, the security officer who had seen Bart kneeling before Nathan walked up to him. “Get two staff from the deposit counter to the customer care unit immediately. Things are getting messy in there. Tell them it’s the manager’s orders.” Nathan instructed. Daylan nodded in understanding and swung into action. W

Chapter 66Nathan’s eyes were fixated on the corner. A physically built man, dressed in black plain trousers and a grey hoodie was trying to force himself on a petite. Nathan watched him grab her wrists while she kept resisting. He pinned her to the wall while she kept trying to fight back, her face screaming discomfort. “Let go of me!” She screamed but the resounding music kept relegating her voice to the background. The man went ahead to plant kisses on her neck and the poor girl looked like she was about to throw up. Her countenance and his approach proved that he was forcing her to make out. The disgusting and annoying sight forced Nathan to turn away with a clenched jaw. “Are you okay?” Charles demanded after reading the pissed expression on Nathans’s face. Henry was without worry. He was sharing a bottle of red wine at the bar stand with the girls who seemed to be enjoying his company. Nathan faked a smile and wanted to blurt out to Charles that he was good but he caught

Chapter 68Greg sent more bangs on the door and remained rooted to his spot for about thirty seconds. Again, there was no response. His frustration grew with each passing second. “Shit!” he cussed and curled his lips in irritation after noticing that there was a lock sealing the door. He was so mad that he didn’t pay any attention to the door. All he wanted at that moment was for Nathan to open the door and face him. Before leaving for Nathans’s apartment that night, Greg concluded that Nathan was going to be at home so he decided to turn up at his place unannounced. It wasn’t the first time he had turned up without notice anyway. Greg kicked the door with his left leg in irritation and turned away. He had just wasted about five minutes at the door waiting for Nathan to show up, only to discover that the door was locked and Nathan was not at home. He was hoping to meet with Nathan. They had a lot of things to talk about. With a frustrated sigh, Greg strode to the spot he had p

Chapter 70“So you’re saying that you won’t drive yourself home? Then how are you going to get home?” Nathan demanded with his arms folded across his chest. Avery sighed and gave her forehead a delicate scrape. “The thing is, I sneaked out of the house to come here. My parents still think I’m in my room.”Nathan hummed. “I see!”“So there was no way I could come here with my car. I took a cab and I’ll be hailing one to take me home once I get to the junction.” She replied. “You don’t have to worry about taking a cab,” Nathan said. Avery raised a brow. “I can drive you home.” He told her. Her eyes widened in surprise. Nathan gave a warm smile. “It’s late Avery and quite unsafe for you to trek to the junction by yourself. I can give you a ride.” He said. Avery was rendered speechless. Nathan pointed to the parking space. “Come with me. I’ll take you home. There’s a car down there.”Without uttering any word, Avery began taking steps after Nathan. They got to the parking space.
