HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME APARTMENT HUNT
***Meanwhile, at the Smith’s family mansion, the morning sun cast a warm glow into the large living room. Nathan and Gwen were sitting on opposite couches in front of each other. Gwen was about to call an apartment agent to get an apartment for Nathan. She dialed a number; the phone rang several times before a voice answered.“Dream Apartments; this is Daniel speaking. How may I assist you today?”“Hi, Daniel. This is Gwen Smith. I’m in a bit of a predicament. I need to find an apartment before the day ends. Is that possible?”Daniel answered calmly. “Of course, Gwen. I’ll do my best to help. Can you tell me your preferences or the area you’re looking for?”Gwen wasn’t looking for a specific preference; she just wanted to get an apartment for Nathan as soon as possible so Nathan wouldn’t be bothered about staying in the guest room. “Anything available and affordable will do. I just need it today.”“I understand the urgency. Let me check our listings. Please hold on for a moment."Gwe

***Nathan and Gwen stood before the apartment building, the designated meeting point with the agent. Gwen pulled out her phone and dialed Daniel."Where are you now?" Daniel inquired with curiosity."I'm currently in front of the apartment building," Gwen replied, glancing at the structure. It wasn't a lavish five-star establishment and seemed below her usual standards, but she was securing it for Nathan, not herself."Okay, I'm coming down to meet you now," Daniel said, and Gwen turned to Nathan."Does this apartment building seem like a place you'd want to live in?" she asked, wanting to gauge Nathan's comfort with the environment."Of course," Nathan replied, understanding not to complain. Ultimately, he would appreciate whatever accommodation he could secure."Alright then, I guess we should check out the apartment before you decide whether you'd like to live here or not," Gwen suggested. Unaware of Nathan's background, she had no insight into whether he genuinely liked the build
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME APARTMENT HUNT 3
Gwen and Nathan found themselves standing in the middle of the small apartment, bathed in sunlight streaming through the modest window, casting a warm glow on the space. To Gwen's surprise, the apartment looked much better than she had imagined; she had expected it to be rather shabby.Admiring the clever layout that seamlessly blended the living area with a compact kitchen, Gwen remarked, "I love how the neutral color palette opens up the room." Nathan, sharing her enthusiasm, expressed, "This might be cozy, but it's perfect for me. I can imagine whipping up delicious meals right here," nodding towards the compact yet functional cooking area.As they explored other areas of the apartment, they returned to the living room and turned their attention to Daniel. "So, what do y’all think?" Daniel asked curiously.Gwen, deferring to Nathan, said, "The thing is, Nathan is the one that would be staying here, so he has the final decision."Nathan, wearing a warm smile, declared, "I love the
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME KARINA'S CHANGED ATTITUDE
Nathan finished signing the paper as he handed it to Daniel. Daniel bid them goodbye as he gave Nathan the key to the apartment.Nathan turned to look at Gwen. “Thanks a lot for this apartment; you didn’t have to get me the apartment, but you did."Gwen was happy to see how grateful he was. “You are welcome; this is the least I could do after you saved my grandfather’s life."The apartment already came with furniture and a bed. So, Nathan didn’t need to get anything for the apartment. All he needed to do now was get his clothes from the Blackwood family house.Gwen's phone started ringing as she took it out. She had somewhere she needed to be as she bid Nathan goodbye and went out of the apartment for Nathan to sort himself out.Nathan sat down at the end of the bed in his new bedroom as he started pondering everything he saw in the old man’s Smith’s office. ‘Why didn’t I find anything relating to my parents in the office but only saw a document that had my family name on it? What cou
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME AWKWARD DATE
Nathan quickly checked out the address on the map and saw that it was not too far from his apartment. “I will have to go and meet up with him and know what he’s talking about,” he mumbled.Nathan paced around his bedroom, wondering how he had a half-brother when no one mentioned that to him. His mom and dad mentioned to him that he had a half-brother, but he wondered why the half-brother was reaching out to him now and what he wanted from him.‘What does he want from me? If he knew about me all these whiles, why didn’t he reach out to me?’ he wondered.***The atmosphere inside the five-star restaurant was imbued with an air of sophistication, from the soft glow of the chandeliers above to the gentle hum of conversation that surrounded the corner table that Alex Atwood and Karina sat across from each other, the flickering candlelight casting a warm glow on their faces. It was their first date.Karina glanced around the restaurant, her eyes occasionally meeting Alex's, but she quickly

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,
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME CAR ACCIDENT
Nathan looked out the window. At this point, he wanted to get back to his apartment so that he could start making moves.As the taxi neared Nathan's apartment building, the traffic began to thin out. The quiet hum of the engine and the rhythmic patter of rain on the roof created a soothing ambiance, lulling Nathan into a state of relaxation. However, the tranquility was shattered in an instant as a sudden impact jolted the taxi, throwing Nathan forward against the seatbelt."What the hell?" Nathan exclaimed, his heart pounding in his chest.The taxi driver, a middle-aged man with thinning hair and a nervous demeanor, swerved to the side of the road. Both men scrambled out of the taxi to assess the damage. Nathan's eyes widened as he saw a dented car, its headlights shattered, pull up in front of them.A burly man emerged from the damaged vehicle, his face contorted in anger. Raindrops glistened on his furrowed brow, and his soaked clothes clung to his muscular frame. He stomped toward
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME ANDREI'S BACKGROUND
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

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? After all, you're the one responsible for Andrew's death. It might not be safe for you here."Nathan's heart sank at Andrei's words, the reality of his situation crashing down on h

"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. "Thank you, Gwen. I appreciate that," she replied softly, offering a grateful smile.Gwen squeezed Karina's arm gently before withdrawing her hand, her gaze lingering on her friend's face.

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. Nathan's reflexes kicked in, and with a swift motion of his hand, he conjured a spell that sent the assailant hurtling backward through the air.The man crashed to the ground with a thud, groaning in pain as Nathan wasted no time in putting distance between them.
