Author's POV
Nathan sat calmly on his seat, his face covered with a black mask and dark shades. No one. Not even a smart person would be able to recognize that this was Nathan Wade, the broke ass cop. A tall muscular man got into Nathan's office and immediately lowered his head low to greet Nathan. "James Noah, am I right?" Nathan asked professionally. This was the first thing he was taught to do. Communication. Asking questions was the best way to display power as a CEO. Talk less, ask more! "Y.. yes sir. You're right. James Noah from the Kensington family." He answered Nathan very respectfully. He remained standing where he was. He probably was awestruck at seeing the mysterious CEO of Clifford's Arch Company popularly known as CAC Ltd. Seeing his body and hearing his deep cracking voice was enough for James. He didn't need to see his face to feel more than special. Very, very few people are allowed to see the CEO of CAC. "Take your shoes off. They may get my rug dirty!" Nathan spoke gently, remaining stoic. James felt a bit of shame, but quickly, he took off his shoes which were truly no match even for Nathan's office rug. "Speak!" "Well, sir, I'm highly honoured to meet you. It's a very huge privilege and… men I'm so glad. I need…" James stammered like a fool. "Your time is up, you may leave!" Nathan suddenly interrupted and continued typing whatever the heck he was typing on his MacBook pro. James was left shocked and ashamed, standing like a fool. "But sir I.." "We respect the Kensington family. I wouldn't want to use a security guard to take you out. You had your time to speak, but you wasted it, you can book another letter request to meet me. I have more important matters to attend to!" Nathan warned and shifted his focus back to what he was writing. "Oh damn! Damn!" James mumbled under his breath. As he thought of the outcome of his departure, he knew he would have to pay dearly. Especially employing Nathan Wade as his P.A. Never!. He had also spent over $30,000 on just his outfit and appearance alone, just to please the CEO. EHe couldn't afford to miss this opportunity! James finally got on his knees and began to beg like a dog begging its master for crumbs from his master's table, wagging its tail like a fish. "Please, just hear me out sir. I'm begging you sir. It's a proposal that would really be of help to my firm and would serve you unfailingly well. Please, I promise we will offer you the best service Pennsylvania has to offer." James was no longer intent on begging for the deal, he was rather begging so he does not tarnish his reputation in front of that broke cop and his whole family! Nathan became a bit soft after seeing James plead shamelessly. "You may deliver your proposal to him and leave." I said, pointing to Arthur. "Thank you very much sir. We won't ever let you down, sir. Please, do well to go through it sir! Even if we can get 10% of the contract for supplies, that would be great news!" He said and handed the folder to Arthur who paid no single attention to him. "Get on your knees and thank him for holding that folder." Nathan said ruthlessly. "And don't you return here or email us. We will send you our feedback when we've reviewed it. Have a nice life!" Nathan enunciated and got back to working on his system while James got on his knees and thanked Arthur!°°°°°°°°°°°° "That was insane, sir. You did perfectly well!" Arthur complimented Nathan and laughed hysterically. "Power is good, my friend. This is just the beginning. The whole of the Kensington family would crumble to my feet and beg for mercy! One after the other, I would disgrace them until they no longer have a reputable face to look at the world!" Nathan vowed. "You're right sir. But, you know, vengeance isn't always the answer! Sometimes…." "Okay. My apologies, sir. Vengeance is the answer to every situation!" He immediately corrected so as not to ignite a fire after Nthan gave him a dead glance. "I'll need a new name. I will not bear Nathan Wade for the next 7 days. How about Echo? Echo Clifford?" "Well, that's a strange name, sir." "A very strange name, but I like it. From today, I should be known as Echo Clifford! My real name would only be revealed after I've found my daughter. Any news on her?" Nathan said and relaxed on his seat gently. "Yes sir. For now, what we do know is that the kidnapper and the kidnapped are still within Pennsylvania and these groups of people are submitting to a big figure. Could be a celebrity, a businessman, but the person is a wolf in sheep's clothing! We're conducting a search!" Nathan sighed. He cried and cursed himself. His daughter. His dear daughter, Clara is gone and he's doing nothing about it. He suddenly grabbed my phone and called Laura. "Hello, mother. We all need to talk, please. It's urgent. If possible, a family meeting! There's something very important I'd like to discuss with everyone!" He also called Fred, the cheif officer. "Sir, I'm coming to the office now! There's something really important I'd like to discuss with you!"°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Nathan's POV As I got to the station with my old broken car, looking as tattered as possible, I met Joe who stopped me. "Hey, man. Where the fuck you been? I got some news on yo girl!" Joe said. "Oh great. I'll be with you shortly. I gotta see Fred first." Entering Fred's office, I began to miss the good old days I had in the force. Catching the bad guys, arresting the thieves, it was fun. "What do you want this time, Nathan Wade? You're ready for my deal?" He asked me, looking uninterested like I was some trash. "No sir. Not at all. I want a message to be sent out, sir. Whoever finds my daughter, Clara Wade, that person would be given a sum of $5 Million! Fred gasped in shock and looked at me in disgust and amusement, then he laughed hysterically with all his might. "Are you planning on selling yourself? You won't be worth that amount, Nate. Or you wanna rob a fucking bank? Huh? Tell me, are you playing games with me?" He asked me. "Come on, man, my family has promised to assist me. The Kensington family." I said and showed him my call log. Fred looked up at me as he saw Laura's name on my phone. He looked at me with some iota of respect and cun. He pressed his telephone and made a call and passed the message to his subordinate to make sure it gets announced on every FM station and every News Page! "I don't know what you're doing, Nathan, but watch out! Don't play with fire or you'll burn your fucking armpit!" Fred warned!°°°°°°°°°°°°° Approaching Kensington's house, I rushed into the house with eagerness to pass the message I had in mind. It was indeed a wild one and I knew I was playing with fire! "Are you crazy? What the fuck is wrong with you?" We're the first words that came from Kate's mouth as soon as she saw me in the living room, heading towards the conference room where we would hold the meeting . "What's the problem, Kate?" I asked calmly. "What the fuck is this?" She asked and showed me her phone with the news headline. "MAN PROMISES THE SUM OF $5 MILLION TO WHOEVER FINDS HIS ABDUCTED DAUGHTER, CLARA WADE!!" Followed by a beautiful, clear picture of Clara. "That's why I'm here. Are you coming?" I asked gently. "Wait till mother sees you, you garbage!" Kate spat. Ignoring her, I quickly rushed towards the conference room, but before I entered, something caught my eyes and ears. I heard Amanda laughing gently and I heard some strange sounds. She was with a man. I followed the sound gently and it was clear. In the corner of an empty space in the lobby, I saw Amanda, smooching and kissing a strange man. He was playing with her breasts and her pussy! They were kissing so passionately that they didn't see me standing there watching them, my heart shredded into pieces. "Amanda?!" °°°°°°°°°°°°°°Ignoring her, I quickly rushed towards the conference room, but before I entered, something caught my eyes and ears.

They were kissing so passionately that they didn't see me standing there watching them, my heart shredded into pieces. "Amanda?!"Nathan's POV I stood there, unsure of what to do. All I knew was that I was broken, broken beyond repair! That was my wife, the woman on whose finger I put a ring on. She was smooching and kissing another man. Was this all part of the plan? Coming to Laura's house to make love to another man? How long had she been seeing this his behind my back? I had many questions. She quickly jerked off when she heard her name. The man turned to look at me. The man was quite a muscular man. He has a perfectly shaped face and he looked very muscular. He… he looked familiar, like a celebrity or a popular figure. "Hey. Who's this? Did you order something?" The dude asked. Fuck! Was he referring to me as a delivery man? How cold and wicked could men be? "Cut it! That's my husband." Amanda said, feeling a bit of remorse as she saw my broken demeanor! She couldn't face me, but she wasn't really sorry. She stayed there in the same spot, allowing tbe fucking idiot to caress her breasts right u
Author's POV "Sir, are you sure of what you are saying? Cause yes, we could do it and in just 1 hour, Alfredo's company will crash!" Arthur asked, concerned. He was skeptical about his boss's request. But he had to obey at all costs, besides, it was payback time! Time to make sure the Alfredo's company pays dearly. It's been 7 days since Nathan Wade signed the deal go find his daughter. He had just three days left. The more time passed, the more depressed he got. He couldn't bear thinking of what could be happening to Clara at the moment. All he could do was cry and cry. Arthur did all the work! He kept seizing every opportunity to find Clara. He got calls from a lot of scammers claiming to have his girl! I mean, who doesn't want a $5 Million sent to his account? Added to his depression, his wife was getting married to another man. That was to him the biggest blow. He felt really dejected. Well, he was going to scatter the marriage. He would make Amamda pay! "Well, what do yo
Author's POV They arrived at Nathan's room with Nathan locking the door from behind not wanting any interruptions from Arthur. Nathan, with all the energy and anger in his heart, over to Abigail, sliding her arms around her from behind as he began the kiss from her nape then down her shoulder. Abigail chuckled at his desperation, taking forceful steps to reach the bed. She turned around facing him, the distance between them thin already with little to no gap spaced between them. She switched positions by grabbing Nathan's collar and pushing him to sit on the bed. Abigail's gaze at him lowered completely with a naughty smirk plastered on her lips as she went on her knees, her hand slowly unbuckling his belt before taking it off completely. Nathan's erected manhood that was repressed bulged out of his tight boxers. Abigail's lips and facials salivated at the length, he’s one big man down there. She won’t regret turning him to her puppet. She removed the boxer letting the di
Nathan's POV "The news has been confirmed. Just yesterday, three other kids were abducted. Maria of 14, Kate 12 and Alessia 8. Parents are strongly advised to keep an eagle's eye out for their kids, monitoring their every movement. "Schools will be put on hold until these mysterious men have been found. Stay tuned for more updates. This is April reporting from…" I switched off the TV. I should've switched it off way earlier than that if I had known that Clara was watching. "Daddy.. are the bad guys going to kidnap me too?" She asked with fear in her beautiful eyes. I sighed and then etched a warm calm smile on my face. "Hey, come, sit here with daddy!" I motioned and tapped the empty seat on the old couch facing the TV. "Sweetie. Remember who your father is?" I asked her, stroking her hair. "A police officer?" "Yes. That's right, sweetheart. Daddy will never let any bad thing happen to his girl. I promise. For now, you'll have to stop school and stay at home. And I wil
Nathan's POV I quickly hurried back to the car, tears already running down my hard cheek. Amanda stood there, her mouth opened as she was also teared up. "What… Nathan.. what just.." she stammered. "Look, I got everything figured out. Just get into the car now!" I commanded with no authority. I forced myself to believe that my daughter was safe and this was all just a minor case. "No. No, I'm not going with you. Never! Laura warned you." She cried out, walking back and forth, her hand placed over her head. "Look, everything is under control, alright. Just get in the car and let's head to.." "Head where? Look, I'm going to my mother's house and I'm not taking a single more step with you! Remember that we're only married in the first place because I had a child for you!" Again and again, my heart kept bleeding. Right before my eyes, Amanda boarded a taxi and zoomed off! "Ahh… fuuckkk!" I bashed my car steering. No matter how I tried to conceal it, I could feel my eyes b
Author's POV "My dad has more cars than your dad, Oliver!" Mia, the youngest kid said. Oliver argued back, "Well, my mom has lots of super fancy shoes, even from Paris!" Emma, stood up and raised his shoulders up, "You two are losers. My dad has a plane, and my mom has a big boat. Top that!" He boasted proudly. "But my dad said I would take over his company when he's gone. His company is huge. I will be the boss and make everyone bow down to me!" Oliver argued, seemingly jealous of the rest. "Why does Clara never show up? My mommy said her daddy is poor and locks her in a prison!" Mia recalled and giggled, arranging the scattered toy house. "That is true. My daddy calls her father a rag. He's a broke officer. Haha!" Emma laughed scornfully like he had an in-depth idea of what he was saying. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°° The conference room was quiet. Everyone was either chained to their phone screen or their laptops or making calls or reading books or… Amanda sat there uncomfortably.
Nathan's POV That question shook me. It broke me right to the ground and swept me off my feet. I had no answer. I didn't know where my daughter was. "Answer the goddamn question, you moron. Where is our girl?" James fired ruthlessly. He was the one monster that hated me so much. He hated me to the point that he was willing to kill me so he could breathe well. I was like a stench from a gutter in his presence. I knew this because he never attended my wedding. None of them did anyways. He even cut me with a knife when I played with his kids three Christmases ago when we still lived here. I called Emma to myself and gave her a present, along with the other kids. They liked it. They were still kids and they were just so adorable. As adorable as my baby girl, Clara. James got into the room and opened fire at me, asking me if I planned on stealing his child. Before I could give a reply, he grabbed a butter kinfe and charged towards me, telling me to stay away from his kids and
Author's POV "What the heck is that mother? Are you going to let this dead dog insult me?" James asked, his eyes brimming with fire. "I said, hold it. Go, sit down. I'll handle this myself!" Laura said calmly, her voice cooling the hot air. James looked Nathan dead in the eye. If he had the chance, he would literally rip Nathan into two. But Nathan didn't even flinch. The charisma he displayed was very strange and no one, not even he himself would have expected it. They say a warrior isn't determined in his fist, but in his mind. Nathan fulfilled that saying 100 percent. "That was a courageous talk, Nathan Wade, I applaud you!" Laura began. "You've got guts. I never knew. That is amazing! We could have used your guts in many ways long ago!" "Now, listen, the both of you!" Laura said, pointing to Nathan and James who was still staring at Nathan deadly. His stare could freeze hell itself. "Nathan Wade here has just brought up a challenge. He called upon the James' Family,

Nathan's POV It was 7:49 in the morning. I had no sleep. My daughter was out there in the hands of unknown men and I was here in the luxury of my house, sitting comfortably. All through the night, I and Arthur planned the next day. Finding my daughter, avenging myself. No Alpha would sleep when a member of his pack goes missing, especially not his little cub. He would tear the world down to find that cub. I had my wound treated and my hair trimmed the night before. I was treated like a King. A fucking rich King. I quickly took a shower and got dressed. My room was heaven on earth. It was as large as the whole rooms in my old house combined. Besides the space in the house, everything in the house was automated, so there was little need for a maid. As I opened my cabinet, I was confused as to which cloth and shoe I should pick from. There were tons of expensive clothes and the most expensive shoes lying right in front of me. I stood in front of the grand, huge mirror as I
Author's POV Nathan stood at the entrance of Gothern, his childhood home, after 15 long years. The imposing mansion, a symbol of opulence, loomed before him. He couldn't help but marvel at the transformation that had taken place in his absence. The once familiar facade had evolved into a modern marvel, a testament to his father's immense wealth. "Hmmm…" he smelled the fresh air that swept through his nose as a soft breeze blew. That didn't change. It was as refreshing as it had always been. The grand entrance welcomed him with sleek, automated doors that glided open effortlessly as he approached. The marble floor beneath his feet, once cold and uninviting, now radiated warmth with an underfloor heating system. Nathan couldn't ignore the lush scent of fresh flowers. How he missed the sweet smell of each and every one of them. Childhood memories returned. As he moved deeper into the mansion, Nathan couldn't help but notice the technological marvels that adorned every corner. Sm
