chapter 91
Nathan's POVThe room was silent except for Amber, who approached him from behind and lowered his body to talk with Nathan."David Lakewood is giving a press conference now." Amber whispered.Nathan snapped his head around to face Amber. "Turn on the TV," he ordered sharply. Amber nodded and switched on the screen.Sitting in front of a large number of reporters, was David Lakewood. The man looked like hell. He couldn't even begin to imagine what David was feeling at the moment. Although making a press conference would help to clear the man's name and reputation if he was innocent, but Nathan hoped that David had gone to the law enforcement agents to investigate the matter."Can we get your side of the story, Mr. David Lakewood? With everything that has been circulating in the media so far, I think it is paramount that you tell us your story…are you guilty or not." one of the reporters asked him.Nathan scoffed as he leaned forward in his seat, listening to what David had to

chapter 92
Nathan's POVOn his way to the Siesta Center, Nathan continued replaying the footage of David's press conference, hoping to pull something that could actually give him a hint of what was going on out of it. The press conference seemed planned and practiced, as if David had prepared for it before the images appeared in the media.All the more reason for him to speak to David.He groaned and looked up as the vehicle parked in front of the siesta center. Nathan climbed out of the car and entered the building.He wasn't sure where David Lakewood was in the building, so he decided to visit their conference center where they held the press conference. The press conference ended minutes ago, and he doubts anyone was still present, but verifying was worth the effort.After entering the empty hall, he mumbled, "David isn't here."Where the hell was the man? he wondered. He took out his phone and contacted David, but as usual, the call went unanswered. Nathan wondered why the man was still ign

Chapter 93
Nathan's POVNathan was certain that by the time they arrived at Angle 135th, Vivian would have noticed him staring at her and probably scolded him for that. If he had been staring at someone else that way, they would have probably called the police on him, because it was suspicious.It was a horrible decision for him to let her ride in the same car with him because he couldn't take his eyes off her. He wasn't into her, far from it. He just couldn't believe that they were both in the same car and she was right next to him.He would have revealed his identity, except that it would ruin things for not just him, but the Hayes family, Scott especially.He moved his glance to her and stared until she turned to look at him. Their eyes locked for a brief moment, but he quickly moved his face away, glancing outside the car at the surroundings.The car ride was peaceful but increasingly tensed. He crossed his legs and unbuckled his seatbelt, feeling restless. Nathan needed to focus on the ta

Chapter 94
Nathan's POVShe blinked and eventually nodded. “ Yeah. I got it. You two promised to meet when you grew up,” she muttered, shaking her head and smiling fondly.Nathan's eyes widened. What?! He didn't recall any of that. Hell, he had little to no memories of when he was still a little boy.He couldn't recall having any interaction with Nathaniel Hayes when he was younger. And then they had promised to meet? He made a mental note to question Scott about it. Surely if Nathaniel Hayes had met a new friend, he would have told his brother about his new friend. He was confident Nathaniel would have told Scott about the little kid he met at the shelter.Vivian smiled. "Strange huh?... Lucas liked it when you handed him books though He tried to act like he hated books, but his face always lit up whenever you gave him one," she recalled, shaking her head.Books? Hold on! He thought as realization dawned upon him. Was the child in his memory who gave him the book, Nathaniel Hayes? Though he c

chapter 95
Nathan's POVNathan sighed, scratching his temple and resting his elbow on the bar counter. "David, you were expecting this and had prepared for it. I'd like to know how you knew." He muttered. "What the hell is going on?" He asked.David shook his head. "Nothing. Someone intended to slander my name and character. That's all; this is common in the corporate sector." He explained.Nathan scoffed. It's only common when you allow it, he thought. No one wakes up in the middle of the night and just decided to slander someone's reputation without an ulterior motive.He sighed, "But it's not. Who is it?" Nathan asked in a serious tone, leaving no space for debate.David shook his head. "No one. Let it go. I have provided you with the signed contract. The company is now yours, and my controversy will not impact the stock or business. I apologize for the situation, but it is unavoidable." He murmured.Nathan scoffed. If David believes he traveled all the way to a club to hear a simple apology

Chapter 96
Nathan’s POV “The reporters are all here.” Amber murmured to Nathan as he wrote another note on his tablet. He didn’t know what Amber was taking note of, but his assistant looked interested in what he was doing. He looked out the car window and saw numerous broadcasting station vans pulling up behind him and even those who had gotten there before him. They were too much. He sighed. “Is everyone here? What about Scott?” he said. Amber nodded, still typing into his iPad. “Scott is here. He has already arrived at the site with Samuel. They came together surprisingly..” he stated. Nathan nodded. Scott had left the company ahead of them to the Project site, so maybe Samuel had tagged along. His brother still had a friendly relationship with Samuel, unlike him. They were at Project 100’s building site to officially launch the project after all the hurdles that they had gone through. He knew that some of the stakeholders and board members who would show up at the site that day were not

Chapter 97
Nathan sighed. Finally, it was time. He ignored what the announcer was saying, and before Amber could stop him, he stood up and strolled over to the podium, where someone was already waiting with a shovel and a pan of mixed concrete.The announcer handed him the podium and moved away so that Nathan was in the center; the man of the moment. Scott had told him ahead of time that he would give a speech and that he should prepare one; which he was going to do briefly.Before picking up the damn shovel, scoop a small amount of mixed cement and drop it on the ground. He could see Scott looking at him from where he stood.He cleared his throat. “Hello, everyone. It gives me great pleasure to once again invite you to this magnificent, historical occasion.” He paused to look at his ipad, “I don’t want to take much of your time because a lot has been said about this project…”. He continued.“Before I officially launch Project 100, I’m pleased to announce that Hayes Holdings has acquired Sol

Chapter 98
Myla’s POVMyla strolled down the lonely hallway, staring ahead of him. As he walked, he could hear the sound of his footfalls, which were louder than they should have been.It sent a sense of dread to his being but he continued down the lonely path. The hallway was dimly lit and he was grateful that at least it wasn’t dark.When he got to the door, he stopped and looked at his watch and realized it was after midnight, and he should have been in bed by now, especially since his father was traveling into the nation that morning.He had been pulled out of bed by his cousin Reagan who wanted to know how things were going. Besides, nighttime was the only time he had to come check on them.He sighed and slid the door open, entering the dimly lit room. One thing that always told him that someone was actually in the room was the sound of the monitors. He noticed the figure standing beside the bed and approached them. He nodded at the man before shifting his gaze to the individual lying down

chapter 99
Myla's POVLeslie was the most intelligent person on the planet, especially when it came to searching for something. Leslie was going to pursue anything suspicious until he found out what it was and he paid no respect to whoever. Leslie was their big brother and he really didn’t want Leslie getting involved in this.Hiding this from Leslie had not been a wise decision actually, especially knowing that he was bound to report this case rather than hide it, but Myla had not intended for anyone to find out, including Reagan;Reagan had found out by a mistake and he had to tell the man everything.Myla had been hoping on the fact that the situation was not a permanent one but that everyone would return back to their rightful bodies after a while, but it was taking longer than necessary.He chewed his lip and said, “Telling Leslie would mean telling the entire family. You know what happens when they find out what’s going on.” He said it in an uneasy tone.He didn’t mean that Leslie had a big

Chapter 100
Nathan's POVThis was Nathan's first time leaving the house since David Lakewood died. He was not only mourning the man's death but also trying to understand why David had chosen to end his life in the first place.He was trying to process how David had summoned the courage to kill himself when he knew his son was relying heavily on him and would have no one if something happened to David.He was trying to find closure that Maybe, just maybe, David had done it due to pressure or influence from the public. Still, there was no excusing the fact that what David had done had been a very selfish act.In the end, the man had only thought about himself and finding the easiest route out of his problems.The police had investigated the deceased and determined that it was a suicide. David jumped from the top of Angle 135th, the same bar where he met the man just days before his death.He had questions, but asking those questions would mean Nathan was interested in the case. Like where the hell
