Nathan nodded, empathizing with Andrei's quest for answers. "I understand that. Our mother passed away in a tragic incident."Andrei leaned forward, his eyes intent on Nathan's face. He knew about her death, but he had no idea how she died. "What happened?" he asked, his voice weighted with anticipation.Nathan took a moment to compose himself before recounting the painful details. "Our mother was on a plane with my dad, and it was bombed. It wasn't a natural death. It was a horrific incident that took her away from us."Andrei's expression shifted from curiosity to sorrow. "A plane bombing? That's... that's unimaginable. I had no idea."Nathan nodded solemnly. "It was a dark chapter in our family history. I was young when it happened, and it left a lasting impact on all of us."Andrei absorbed the information, his gaze distant as he processed the weight of the revelation. The realization that their mother had met such a tragic end brought a somber atmosphere to the table."I'm sorry,

The dim glow of the laptop screen cast a soft, ambient light in Nathan's otherwise dark bedroom. The clock on the bedside table ticked away the seconds as he hunched over the computer, peering intently at the information displayed on the screen. He had been conducting meticulous research on Andrei Avram, his suspicions growing stronger with every piece of information he uncovered.Nathan had never known that his mom had another kid with another man outside. But the recent discovery of a mysterious half-brother named Andrei had opened Pandora's box of questions and uncertainties. His fingers danced across the keyboard, searching for more details that would confirm or dispel the doubts lingering in his mind.His eyes widened as he stumbled upon a wealth of information about Andrei Avram's background. It was true—Andrew hailed from a prestigious and affluent Romanian family—a fact that only deepened Nathan's intrigue. His mother had never spoken about having a kid for a Romanian man, let

***Meanwhile, Nathan was lying down in his bed. He was about to go to sleep, but he couldn’t sleep because he kept thinking about what he saw in Old Man Smith’s office. He knew he needed to get his hands on that document to see what was inside of it, but how he was going to do that was something he had no idea of.But he could tell that Gwen had some sort of attraction towards him; he felt he could use that to his advantage as he picked up his phone from the bedside table. He dialed Gwen’s number and he waited for what felt like an eternity before she answered the call.“Hey, Nathan, How are you doing? How are you settling into your new apartment?”“I am settling in here nicely, and thanks for getting me this apartment; I haven’t thanked you properly for helping me out with this."“Oh, you don’t need to thank me; helping you out was the least I could do after what you have done for my family."“How about I take you out for dinner sometime? At least to say thank you for what you did."

After a moment, the large gate creaked open, revealing James Blackwood with an arrogant demeanor. Nathan's eyes locked onto the Tinder hanging prominently around James's neck. The glint of the precious heirloom fueled Nathan's frustration, and he wasted no time in confronting him."What the hell do you want, Nathan?" James sneered, a smirk playing on his lips. "You're not welcome here."Nathan ignored the disdain in James's voice. "I want that pendant you're wearing. It belongs to me, and you damn well know it."James chuckled, his arrogance on full display. "This pendant? Oh, you mean this little trinket? It's just a small token, Nathan. A gesture of the Blackwood family's generosity." James has waited for days for this confrontation; he has been expecting that Nathan would come back for the pendant. He was determined not to return the pendant to Nathan and teach him a lesson for what he did to him the other day.Nathan gritted his teeth, struggling to maintain his composure. He didn
