CHAPTER 101
“W.. what are you even talking about? What do you remember?” Dave’s shaky voice sliced through the air as he tried to maintain his composure. But it was clearly not working. Still, he tried as much as he could to hold firmly onto the metal skewer. Nathan moved closer to him, imposing his dominance and aura. “I was gently holding on to my drink when a guy met me. He invited me over to his balcony to stare at the horizon and feel the cool breeze of wealth and London.” Nathan was walking forward, exuding so much confidence that Dave, despite holding a sharp object, quivered in fear. Nathan was unaware, so he continued. “I was skeptical as to why a guy who hated me so much would invite me over for a serene moment. But I went with him anyway. When we got there, I truly felt the cold breeze kiss my skin with so much passion!” Dave was now getting more and more frantic, his grip tightening around the hidden skewer. Nathan's words cut through the room like a knife, each sentence a re

CHAPTER 102
Nathan’s hands were as busy as his complicated mind as he was signing multiple electronic documents of contracts. Two weeks have passed since he kicked Dave’s butt into prison. Things seemed to have been a bit more calm. Surprisingly, he did not hear a single word or threat from Alex. Well, Alex must have weighed the consequences of messing with the only true Reed and now, he must have run back to his liar. Well, Nathan knew better than to let his guard down. The silence from Alex wasn’t comforting; it was unnerving. Predators often waited for the perfect moment to strike, and Nathan suspected that Alex, the so-called Red Wolf, was no different. Nathan’s massive project with Elon Musk was kicking off crazily. The metropolis was set to occupy over 250 square miles and was estimated to house over 5 Million people. This project was an incredibly massive one. The integration of technology and futuristic elements was one that made finance organisations, technology firms and even t

CHAPTER 103
Vanessa took the seat opposite Nathan’s desk, crossing her legs gracefully. Her eyes were a striking shade of green, and her smile was warm, but there was a depth to her gaze that Nathan couldn’t quite read. “I must say, your reputation precedes you, Mr. Reed,” Vanessa began, glancing around the office. “You’ve achieved so much at such a young age. It’s truly impressive.” Nathan chuckled lightly, trying to keep the conversation casual. “Thank you, Ms. Sinclair. But enough about me. Fred mentioned that you have an impressive background yourself. What brings you to my office today?” Nathan still couldn’t get himself to stop admiring Vanessa. Vanessa leaned forward slightly, her expression earnest. “I’ve been following your work with great interest, especially your recent project with Elon Musk. The scale and ambition of your city project are unlike anything I’ve seen before. I believe I can offer significant value to your endeavor.” Nathan nodded, intrigued. “And how exactly do

CHAPTER 104
Vanessa proved to be a significant asset over the course of the next few months. Her abilities to manage difficult talks were excellent, her observations were keen, and her plans always worked. Nathan saw that he was always looking forward to their meetings and that he appreciated not just her attractiveness but also her sharp mind and business sense. Everyone in the company began to grow fond of Ms. Vanessa. Wherever she was around, the air was less dense. They began to really love her. Her smile, her patience, her smart sense and her ability to soften a hard rock. These were the things anyone would want in a lady. Even Fred, despite his initial misgivings, had to concede that Vanessa was skilled in her field. She helped them close agreements that had previously looked unattainable by providing new ideas and a different viewpoint. Though he still did not find it in his heart to deal lightly with Vanessa, he managed to trust her a bit to enable smooth flow of business transactio

CHAPTER 105
The air in the room grew thick with tension. Nathan reached out, gently taking her hand. “I feel it too, Vanessa. But… we need to be careful. This is our workplace.” He said, gulping down an unhealthy amount of saliva. Nervousness? Fear? She nodded, but didn’t pull away. “I know. But sometimes, you have to take a risk to get what you really want.” Nathan stood up, closing the distance between them. “You’re right. But let’s make sure we’re doing this for the right reasons.” Vanessa’s breath hitched as she looked up at him, her hand gently reaching the surface of his chest, “And what would those reasons be?” Nathan cupped her face in his hands, his thumb brushing her cheek. “Because it feels right. Because we both want this.” Finally, their lips met in a soft, tentative kiss, the spark between them igniting into a full flame. Was Nathan in his subconscious mind? Was he aware that he was engulfed and fully wrapped in the bosom of another lady? A lady he was not dating? His collabo

CHAPTER 106
“Fred. why are you here? It is almost midnight. You should be with your family!” Nathan asked, dodging Fred’s clear and precise question. Fred sighed deeply, already knowing what Nathan had gotten himself into. But he was more angry at Vanessa for being so foolish and ungrateful. Where did she have the guts to walk in to a Reed’s office and seduce him? He had always known better than to trust Vanessa. So was her intent to get pregnant for the head of the Reed empire? Oh, she must be Harley Quinn. “Young master. I understand you might be interested in Vanessa, and I can’t do anything about that. But what I cannot stand is seeing the head of the entire Reed empire stoop so low to..” “Enough, Fred,” Nathan interjected in a commanding tone. “Nothing transpired between us. Yes, I did go far, but nothing more. And whether I chose to love my inferior or not should not be your bone of contention now, should it?” But Fred was not backing down so easily at the smell of danger. It was

CHAPTER 107
The next morning, Nathan found himself freezing himself with cold water from the shower. After what transpired last night at the office, he decided he had to boost his testosterone levels. A low testosterone might have been the reason for giving in too quickly to Vanessa. After an excrutiatingly cold shower, he had breakfast, a mixture of Chicken Burrito, Rice Balls, green soup for vitamins and some fruits all spread richly on the dining table. Again, just like other days, he was eating alone. Nathan had gotten used to the loneliness that engulfed him every damn day. He had learned to stay alone, besides, he was always busy and so, he had no time to feel sad or lonely. His sister came around during weekends and they spent quality time together. After graduation from college, Marcus travelled out of London. He wanted to breathe African air. Neil stayed back. Nathan offered him the position of CEO in one of his Agro companies. Although Neil was sceptical about working under his

CHAPTER 108
Nathan stepped out of his apartment looking all elegant and handsome. His entire outfit from head to toe screamed wealth and opulence. Even some of his neighbors who were walking by could not resist. They had to coax him to take pictures with them. Nathan felt good about today. It was going to be a splendid day and all his meetings would go just fine and smoothly as he had planned it out. All he needed to do was sit back and relax. With Vanessa by his side, he had nothing to be afraid of. “Hello, sir Reed.” His driver bowed to greet him as soon as Nathan’s presence was visible under the sun. Nathan nodded. “Your legs ready huh? You will drive your waist to a crack!” Nathan smiled. “I am ready for anything doable, sir. It is my job.” The driver said with a little bit of humor that made Nathan smile. Just before Nathan entered the car, he saw Rose and her sister, Amber, Brad's daughter. They quickly walked up to him, ensuring they were conscious of even the slightest movement

CHAPTER 109
Immediately, the whole room went dead silent. No one said any more words. Fred’s commanding tone shut their confidence right up. His words were like a representation of Mr. Reed’s and so, it carried a serious amount of weight. “Do you all know your places in this project? You were given tasks to do, projects to work on and you failed woefully. The project is having major setbacks and what do you do now? Rely on a lady who barely joined us in this project for advice? Do you not feel ashamed?” Fred blurted out angrily. There was thick tension in the room. No one understood why Fred was so angry. Did he have personal issues with Vanessa? The proposals they presented were candid and really valuable. Why did Fred quickly kick against it? Or was he only voicing Mr. Reed’s words? Finally, Vanessa spoke up. “Sir Fred, I do not wish to create chaos or dis-organisation in the ongoing project. Whatever I said or did today was in no way intent on disobeying direct orders or creating tension,

CHAPTER 110
“No, young master. And that is the point. I do not know her. We only know a little about her business background and just a brush of her family background. Nothing more. How can you be so trusting that you go ahead and giver her a position that may be daunting to your own place in this project?” Fred posed his question, still reeling in anger and disappointment. "I understand your concerns, Fred," Nathan began, his voice steady. "But Vanessa has proven herself capable beyond doubt. Her insights and contributions to the Genesis project have been exceptional, you know that Fred." Nathan tried to calm him down. Fred scoffed incredulously. "Exceptional? Young master, forgive me for speaking frankly, but you're letting your emotions cloud your judgment. Your father said those same words to me. This isn't about her capabilities; it's about mistrust. I've served the Reed family faithfully for decades, and I know what it means for someone to be so trusting. It never ends well. It did not
