Chapter 51
Nathan's POVMyla blinked, shaking his head. " I just wasn't expecting Samuel to refuse the suggestion…" he mumbled.Exactly his point! He thought. If Samuel was actually working for the good of the company, shouldn't he have supported the decision to replace Rivers Estates.Thise was a brief but pleasant stillness between him and Myla. Myla was obviously deep in contemplation, and he didn't want to disrupt his mental process. That was the same way Amber was too, when Amber is thinking, it's best to let him be.When Myla returned his gaze to him, he smiled and added, "I believe you should discuss things with Samuel from your own point of view. The way you look at things," he mumbled.Nathan knew that Myla was trying to give an excuse for Samuel's abnormal behavior. Why would Samuel push for the deal with Rivers Estates if he wasn't going to gain from it.Nathan scoffed; talking to Samuel was the last thing on his mind. It just wouldn't work, not with the way they both of them were tryi

Chapter 52
Nathan's POVNathan awoke to the faint sound of music emanating from someplace in the Hayes mansion. He gently climbed out of bed and entered his bathroom to wash up. He switched on the tap and allowed the water to rush out first before he splashed chilly water on his face, which effectively woke him up and removed any trace of sleep from his eyes.He had gone to bed late the night before due to the numerous amount of documents he needed to review before the following day. Nathan had made it a policy of his never to bring work back home, but lately, in order to meet up with his demanding schedule, he had to break that policy.Nothing had prepared him for this position, and he was grateful that he was still holding on and pushing through. He stared at his reflection on the mirror before nodding slightly as he switched off the running water and dried his face with a towel. When he was satisfied with his reflection in the mirror, he nodded again and left the restroom.The sound of mu

Nathan's POVNathan blinks in surprise. Was Detective Hayden there at their house?Why would Detective Hayden come over to their house to see them? he wondered. If the man wished to see them about the case, he could simply summon them to the police station, which was the normal protocol, as he had done with Scott a few weeks prior."Where is he?" he questioned, his voice low."Still outside the gate," the staff informed him.He nodded slowly. "Let him in, and I'll meet with him in the study." He informed her, watching her go away. He felt a little bit tensed about the detective's visit and even though he fully didn't know the reason why the man was there, he had a little idea that it was about the case.Then why coming to the house, he wondered.If the detective was here, he would want to talk to Scott as well. He turned to return to Scott's room to alert him of the guest when Scott came out of the room, fully dressed for the office.He raised his brow at Scott's new all-black clothin

Chapter 54
Nathan's POVAfter a while, Nathan noticed a figure emerge from the opposite end, proceed up the truck, past the car with the recorder, and climb inside the passenger side.He could recognize that figure anywhere. It was Bethany. "Shit," he thought.He narrowed his eyes to see inside the truck but couldn't make out much; only then did he saw her passing a large envelope to another person in the truck; probably the driver, before stepping out of the truck and exiting around the back.Nathan blinked, trying to understand what he'd just seen. It felt like he was watching a movie. The same woman who was living with them somehow knew about their accident even before it happened.Hayden spared him the embarrassment of asking the obvious question as Nathan gave the phone back to the man." It wasn't easy, but our officers were able to trace the truck to the parking lot after it left the truck company. True to the Manager's words, the truck was not assigned to any driver that night and shoul

Scott's POV"Can you change my schedule for today? Reschedule everything at another date. Tomorrow or next, I don't care." Scott murmured as he walked into the office, Helen following closely behind him.He had dragged himself to the office that morning even though he had no intentions of working or sitting in a meeting.He couldn't see Helen's frown, but he knew he'd see it if he turned around to look at her. He didn't blame her; it wasn't everyday that he came to the office not willing to work.First, he had come to work late, and now he was rescheduling his meetings for the day. It was obvious that something was wrong.Helen cleared her throat. "Um, Scott. You have a lot of important meetings today, which I don't think I can postpone especially at the last minute." She responded.He sighed and moved to seat behind his desk. He took up his iPad and opened the file containing his daily schedule that Helen had sent to him.He quietly scrolled through the file, absorbing the informatio

Chapter 56
Scott's POVScott raised his brow. He had inquired about Amber because he intended to obtain certain documents from the guy, but perhaps this was an opportunity for him to divert his attention elsewhere.Because at the moment, he needed to focus on something else that wasn't Bethany.He grabbed his phone and quickly sent a text to Nathan, asking where he was. He hoped that his brother was still in the company.Nathan responded quickly, as if he had been waiting for Scott's text. That's what worry did, it made you respond fast to the person you're concerned about." I'm at the office" Nathan texted.Scott grinned at Myla as he read the text Nathan had sent. For once since the day started, things were beginning to look bright for him."I'm surprised you haven't complained about the amount of work Amber has been doing lately..." he said, rising from his seat.Nathan has been coming in late at night that sometimes Scott wondered if he was actually working hard enough. He was glad that his

Nathan’s POVNathan couldn’t help it himself. Even though he had repeatedly cautioned himself mentally not to ask Scott whether he was okay, he just wasn’t able to stop himself from asking.It was as if something from within him resisted that very will not to ask and before he would even realized it, the words had already left his mouth.He sighed. Flicking his gaze briefly to look at Scott who was now resting in the car. He felt the urge to reach out to Scott to check but stopped himself when the car jerked.He could understand what his brother was going through. He had had the same experience in his past life as Lucas when Piper, his wife, had betrayed him and chosen another man in front of his eyes, forcing him to sign the divorce papers, as had his father-in-law, Elton Ross. Who had given the order to kill him.So he had an idea of how Scott was feeling at the moment and was at lost on how to console him.He gave Scott one last look before turning away to look at his iPad.

Chapter 58
Nathan's POVThey all boarded the VIP elevator, which astonished him because Hayes Holdings did not have one. He made a mental note to ask about it later as the elevator ascended to the top floor, taking them to the CEO’s office. Three more people were standing there when the elevator doors opened, and they walked out.David most likely wanted to introduce him to some important people in the company, and they were probably there to be part of the meeting too.He took note of the lady among them in the blue gown and raised an eyebrow when he recognized her right away. He wondered what Vivian was up to with the Solace enterprise as it had been a long time since he last saw her. He knew she had a great future and would make a name for herself. If she worked at Solace Enterprises, it implied that life had benefited her and been good to her.She definitely wouldn’t know him now because he was wearing another man’s face instead of his real face, which she was very familiar with; Th

Nathan’s POVIt’s been five days since Detective Hayden had informed them about the unfortunate news that Bethany was involved in the break-in that occurred in his room, as well as the crash on the night of the gala.Scott had purposefully distanced himself from everyone for five days, including Nathan and as much as he didn’t want to disturb Scott processing his feelings, he was still worried.At first, he assumed that his brother was being dramatic and would calm down the next day, but Scott had yet to calm down. Instead, he distanced himself from everyone.Nathan wanted to give Scott space to sort out his feelings, but he also understood it was unhealthy for Scott to dwell on such feelings.He had been thinking about how to get Scott to talk to him since he got up that morning, until an idea had popped up in his head.He promptly took out his phone and dialed Amber number. He didn’t have to wait long for Amber to respond, the guy answered after two rings.“It is the weekend,

Nathan's POVNathan entered the kitchen and was about to leave after not seeing Scott when he noticed a shadow in the corner.He got closer and recognized Scott’s figure. His brother was attempting to retrieve something from the top cupboards but was unable to reach it. Nathan had to step up behind Scott, startling his brother as he reached for the package Scott was attempting to reach for.He grabbed it and handed it to Scott, who rolled his eyes and accepted it from Nathan before quickly walking away from Nathan.Nathan sighed and crossed his hands, watching Scott move around in the kitchen as he reached for so many things. Nathan cleared his throat after Scott settled on a seat by the counter and continued to ignore him.“I invited the guys for a barbecue hangout this evening,” he said, well aware that Scott was listening to him, except he had suddenly gone deaf.Scott lifted his head in surprise to gaze at Nathan. He probably sneered because he saw Nathan’s expression and k
