HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME SUDDEN REGRET
Karina now understood the truth of the matter; she now understood why Nathan had to act the way he did because of the pendant, because he had collected it from her only for James to take it from him. She now understood that Nathan was not in the wrong and that it was James who was wrong in this situation.“What? Why did you have to take his pendant in the first place?”“Why shouldn’t I have taken it? We have been taking care of him ever since he got married to you; the least we could do is take the pendant from him and sell it; that way we can get some money from him."“You shouldn’t have done that, James!” Karina yelled with an angry look in her eyes.“Don’t yell at James like that; you should channel that anger towards Nathan; he was the one that beat up my son."“Mom James was in the wrong in this situation; he was the one that made Nathan react that way,” Karina complained. She knew how her mother always supports James, even though he was in the wrong.“James is not wrong for what
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME THE DINNER PARTY
He has never felt that humiliated before, especially by a woman that he was trying to get married to; what she did bruised his ego.‘I am going to find a way to make sure that she becomes mine; I am going to make sure that I also find a way to take control over her company. How dare she not acknowledge my presence in front of everyone? Who does she think she is?’ Alex wondered about the anger visible on his face.***It was a warm night, and the bright moonlight cast a warm glow over the sprawling grounds of the Green Heart Building, a Western-style marvel that stood as a testament to the Smith family's legacy. The property came alive with a business party, glowing with energy and the buzz of anticipation.Karina stepped out of the sleek black car with elegance and confidence, her stunning presence catching the attention of everyone around her. Her tailored crimson dress hugged her curves, bringing out her poise and grace as she made her way towards the entrance. The soft evening bree
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME KARINA'S DILEMMA
"Karina is my ex-wife," Nathan stated, his words hanging in the air, causing a sense of discomfort to pass over Karina's features. She braced herself for what was to come, sensing a shift in Gwen's demeanor.Gwen's expression hardened imperceptibly; her previous warmth was replaced by a thin veil of hostility. Unconsciously, she began drawing comparisons in her mind, assessing Karina and sizing up the history between Nathan and his ex-wife. A faint sense of insecurity crept into Gwen's stance, her defenses subtly rising as she gauged Karina's presence. Although she liked Nathan, she tried her best not to show it so soon.Karina, perceptive to the shift in the atmosphere, felt a pang of regret for the unintended discomfort caused by her mere presence. She struggled to maintain composure, caught in the crosscurrents of emotions, wishing to dissolve any tension."I hope I'm not causing any inconvenience," Karina interjected softly, her attempt to diffuse the tension evident in her voice.
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME GWEN HOSTILITY
Since she now had a thing for Nathan, she felt it was the right time to come through for him and back him up.“Even if I have such power to make Nathan cheat and be at this party, That is fine and has nothing to do with you!” Gwen defended.At this point, everyone was witnessing what was going on, including Karina and Diane.Alex was getting angry. At this point, he was unsure if Gwen was from the Smith family. “Why in the world are you trying to defend this good for nothing?"“You shouldn’t be wasting your time with such a piece of sh*t,” Alex fired.“Who the hell do you think you are? Don’t you dare talk about Nathan like that!” Gwen was becoming more and more hostile towards Nathan. Nathan, on the other hand, didn’t want to lose his cool as he watched everything unfold in front of him.Gwen stupidity towards Nathan was starting to get on Alex's nerves as he gazed at her like a tiger that was about to pounce on his prey.Diane noticed that Alex was about to lose his cool as she grab
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME THE BET
“How about we make a bet on who would achieve the highest things between Alex and Nathan within a month?” Gwen proposed.Alex laughed out loud. “What? You are willing to bet on such a loser? A loser like Nathan is not worthy of being compared with me." Alex found it amusing that Gwen was willing to make such a comparison.Karina also laughed out loud; she believed that Nathan was useless and wouldn’t be able to achieve anything great because, since they were married, he hadn’t been able to achieve anything great at all.Gwen, on the other hand, was confident that she would be able to assist Nathan in achieving great things. “Laugh all you want, but are you willing to make the bet?”Karina was confident that Alex would achieve the highest things within a month, but at the end of the day, Alex was richer than Nathan and had more influence than him.“What’s the stake in the bet?”Gwen swiftly answered. “The stake in the bet is for the loser to admit that they were blind to the other pers
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME THE CHOSEN PARTNER
“You are welcome; I don’t like the way they were underrating you." Gwen could see the potential that Nathan possessed, especially after all she had seen him do. At this point, Gwen told Nathan that they should head over to a table and wait for the announcement of the dinner party to begin.A distinguished man with salt-and-pepper hair made his way to the podium at the front. The gentle tapping of a fork against a glass signaled for everyone's attention."Ladies and gentlemen," the man began, his voice carrying with it an air of authority and charisma. "Thank you all for joining us tonight for this splendid celebration. As many of you know, the Smith family has been at the forefront of philanthropy for years, tirelessly working to make a difference in our community."He paused for a moment, allowing the gravity of his words to settle over the room."And tonight, I am thrilled to announce a partnership that will undoubtedly elevate the impact of their noble efforts. It is with great ple
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME NATHAN'S PREDICAMENT
The dinner party drew to a close when Gwen suggested to Nathan that they should leave. Since his divorce with Karina, Nathan found himself without a place to stay. However, he believed that if he reached out to his subordinates, they would support him.As Gwen and Nathan exited the building, she paused and inquired, "Where should I drop you off?" Nathan hesitated, fully aware that he had no place to stay. However, he chose not to disclose this to Gwen. "Just get in the car and drive; I'll let you know on the way."As they entered the car and Gwen began driving, Nathan turned to the group chat with his subordinates, informing them of his predicament. They suggested he stay at their shared residence, but Nathan, wary of potential connections to his parents' death, declined their offer, reassuring them that he would find an alternative solution.Lost in thought, Nathan raised his head, uncertain of his next steps. He avoided sharing his problem with Gwen, as his growing connection with h
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME GUEST ROOM
Gwen noticed that Nathan was being hesitant, as she had an idea. “Okay, how about this? Why don’t you just spend this night in the guest room in my family house, and by morning I will help you look for a rented apartment that you are going to be staying out. You don’t have to worry about the rent; I will be paying that."“Okay, I will spend the night in your family guest room, but I won’t let you rent an apartment for me, let alone pay for it."“No, you can’t reject that offer; getting an apartment for you and paying for it is the least I could do after you saved my grandfather’s life." Nathan noticed that she was serious about what she was saying as he gave in.“Okay then, if that’s what you want to do, I won’t stop you; for now, let’s head to your family house." Gwen smiled, knowing that Nathan had accepted her offer as she started the car and drove off.***They arrived at the Smith family mansion as Gwen led Nathan into the guest room. She spread her hands with a bright smile. “Yo

He reached for his phone and dialed Andrei's number, his heart pounding with anticipation."Hello?" came Andrei's voice on the other end of the line."Andrei, it's Nathan," he said, his tone earnest. "I was wondering if I could come and spend some time with you in Romania."There was a brief pause before Andrei responded, his voice tinged with caution. "Nathan, are you sure that's a good idea?

"But we're going to do it on our own terms. We can't afford any mistakes, so we need to be smart about this."One of the subordinates, a burly man with a stern expression, nodded in agreement. "Understood, boss," he said, his voice gruff. "What's the plan?"Nathan leaned back in his chair, his mind racing as he formulated his strategy. "We'll split into teams and approach from different angles," he explained, his voice steady. "I'll give each of you a specific location to rendezvous with Josh, and from there, we'll move in and take

It was terrifying," she admitted quietly, her voice barely above a whisper.Gwen reached out, gently placing a hand on Karina's arm in a gesture of comfort. "Karina, you don't have to pretend with me. If something happened, if there's anything you need to talk about…" she trailed off, her voice filled with genuine concern.Karina's gaze lifted to meet Gwen's, her eyes reflecting a mixture of gratitude and apprehension.

ALMOST CAPTURED
As he pressed forward, Nathan heard his name being called out from behind him. Instinctively, he quickened his pace, his heart hammering in his chest. He glanced over his shoulder and caught sight of a figure approaching rapidly."Keep moving," Nathan muttered to himself, his mind racing with thoughts of danger. He didn't recognize the person trailing him, and in that moment, his instincts screamed at him to flee.Before he could react, the figure lunged forward, arms outstretched in an attempt to embrace him.
