"You are here!" Mateo says when he saw Nathaniel and Emilia walking down the stairs. He was sitting on one of the single couch with a Tablet on the side table, he was putting on a reading glass and seemed busy so early in the morning. "Good morning, uncle""Morning, Papa" Both of the greeted him concurrently as they went to take their sits on the couch beside him. "You seem so busy this morning, is something wrong at the company? " Emilia asked with concern as it was rare for her Dad to be busy during the weekends that he even needed to work in the morning.Mateo shook his head and smiled because of her concern "Actually, I'm just handling the paperwork for Nathaniel, it's nothing serious""For me?" Nathaniel asked, a little confused as to why he needed a paperwork In the first place. Mateo chuckled "You are the rightful heir to my brother's company, I've only been handling it temporarily because you were lost but now that you've been found, there's no reason for me to continue le
Nathaniel sighed because after all, she was only doing it for his sake. It was just that he wasn't used to people doing things for him but then he realised he needed to get used to it because he wasn't alone anymore. "So, what am I getting trained on first?" He asked as he eyed the various equipment, if that was the right term, that were being used to train. "How about training your stamina first? You should start by running some meters. You seem to be the type to easily collapse from little things" Nathaniel glared at him "What do you mean by that? I work out regularly alright!" He couldn't believe he was being looked down upon just like that. Alessandro grinned "I'm not sure if I should call your one hour exercise work out but at least it's something. You'll still need to run the meters though" Alessandro then started running, a cue for Nathaniel to follow after him and he did. It wasn't even up to fifteen minutes later and Nathaniel was dead tired while Alessandro gave him a m
It must be a psychological problem. Nathaniel concluded then returned his attention back to Mateo and Don Gambini who were having a discussion he knows nothing about. They seemed to be talking about an incident that happened recently. It was said that an Italian family was brutally murdered leaving not a single descendant and Nathaniel wondered if that was how it was always was. "I have an idea who it might be" Mateo says and that got Don Gambini's attention. "Are you thinking who I'm thinking too?" Mateo nodded, confirming they were thinking the same thing. "They have been running wild lately and I wouldn't be surprised if it's them again. We need to take care of them before they grow out of hand" Mateo sighed at the end of his statement and Nathaniel could see it was a serious problem. He leaned closer to Emilia "Is it always like this? Families getting killed for no reason?" Emilia nodded "Which is why everyone needs to be equipped and be at alert because even your friends co
Nathaniel scoffed when he heard what Alessandro had said. "I don't remember having a Fiancée, where did that one come from?" Alessandro shrugged with his back leaning against the elevator's wall. "Don Salerno had been telling everyone that you were to marry his daughter so the girl had been calling herself your fiancée"Nathaniel, however, was surprised by that revelation. How come he had never heard of that? Or was it because he was too closed out from the world? "How come I'm the last person to be aware of my so called Fiancée?" He couldn't believe something like that was going on without his knowledge. Who knows what the hell that delusional man was thinking by claiming his daughter as his Fiancée, he hardly even knew the man not to talk of getting engaged to his daughter. "You never know, tonight might be your engagement party" Alessandro grinned but Nathaniel gave him a glare. He knew his underboss would never let any opportunity to mock him pass by without using it to the ful
It was totally ridiculous for the man to even assume such rumours could force him into doing what he doesn't want to. He had lived at the mercy of others for a long time that he was now allergic to it. The him five years ago was always worried about public opinions and that was the reason he never improved in anything he does. If he's been spoken badly off, he just cower and hide like a coward. But now, he couldn't even afford to let anything bother him because he had the responsibility of protecting the hundreds of people under him. Seeing everyone still watching them, Nathaniel scoffed. People still don't mind their businesses "Anyway, I'll forgive you for your blunder this time because this would be your first offense against me. There would be no next time" There had to be no next time. Seeing that the man had heed to his warning, he then walked away.Though he might be a Don with hundreds of soldiers under him, Salerno wasn't strong enough to be one which makes Nathaniel wonde
"Whatever" She slammed the file she had snatched from him earlier on the desk angrily. "Don't you know there's a rule that a man shouldn't be having a discussion with a woman about her age?" Nathaniel grinned at her change of topic and then choose to ignore her so he could focus on his work, he had lots of paperwork to do. Emilia started grumbling when she realised he was ignoring her, which caught his attention. He finally looked up.He smiled on seeing her pouty lips which she did to make herself look aggrieved. Nathaniel loved his Cousin to bits and he would gladly burn down the world if she so much requests it. She was the only one who could bring out his soft spot and he wasn't complaining because he'll do anything for her. "Emmy, you should go back to rest first. I need to leave for Chicago in few hours""Why?" She asked with creased brows because she didn't know he was going to Chicago beforehand. But before Nathaniel could reply, the door swung open and Alessandro came in
Nathaniel was changing out of his work cloth so he could head for the hotel where he worked part-time, when one of his co- workers came to meet him. "Heading for the hotel?"Julius asked even though it was obvious where he was heading. Regardless, Nathaniel nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, I'll be back before 10 pm so you wouldn't have to cover my shift for me" Sometimes his shift lasts longer than he was signed for because of some unforseen situation and Julius had to cover for him. Julius scoffed "Covering your shift is no big deal, after all you'll do the same for me if need arises. I'm only wondering if you have time to sleep at all, your mental health matters more" He was worried about his colleague who literally worked himself like a dog just because of money. He could tell Nathaniel rarely have time for himself at all. "Of course, I get time to sleep before my shift here, right?""Well, I wouldn't call sleeping for two hours everyday as getting enough sleep. Does your girl
They immediately started their duties after having their meal. As usual, in order to pass time, they made discussions on customers who interest them and those who were extremely rude. "Hello, young man, would you like to spend the night with me?" A women came to Nathaniel and asked coquettishly. She was a tall and slim blonde but that didn't mean she wasn't curvy. She certainly would attract many men's attention but that didn't include Nathaniel as he only had his eyes on his girlfriend. Nathaniel was taken aback by her straightforwardness. He had been approached by several women but this would be the first time a woman would clearly tell him what she wanted without wavering. It was like she was sure he was going to say 'yes'.What gives? She was pretty, but he wasn't attracted to her. Nathaniel smiled politely "I'm sorry ma'am but my duty here doesn't extend to the bedroom" Some customers could be psychos so it would better to talk to them gently or they'll get angry. If they get
