After she was done reading it, she felt a mixture of relief and sadness.She was happy that Nathan was fine and was sad that she wouldn’t be able to see Nathan for a while until he was done getting the answers he wanted. She has no idea how long it is going to take for Nathan to come back, but she knows she has to respect his wishes. She took out her phone as she called the private investigator that she hired to find Nathan. Immediately after he answered the call, Gwen told her to stop the search for Nathan, that it was no longer needed, and that she was going to pay for his services.‘I miss Nathan so much; why didn’t he even come to see me one last time before he disappeared? I thought the kiss we shared meant something to both of us; doesn’t he know how much I love him?’ Gwen knew she could not hide from her feelings for Nathan anymore, but she knew she had to respect his decision to get answers concerning the deaths of his parents.***The night was heavy with silence, broken only
***The morning sun illuminated the whole of Nathan’s living room. He was sitting on one of the couches in the living room, lost in his thoughts. He was happy that he had now settled in his new apartment, but what was bothering him was finding out that the heir knew that he was still alive. He wanted to know which of the heirs was coming after him.Nathan knows about five of the heirs to the Amber family, including himself. He knew that for him to find out who was trying to kill him, just like they killed his parents, he would have to confront all the heirs he knew one after the other to get to the truth. Nathan knew he couldn’t hide in the apartment forever and that they were eventually going to find out where he was.He quickly had the idea that he needed to start by kidnapping the heirs that he knew one after the other, and to do that, he would need a disguise and the help of some of his subordinates. Nathan arrived inside his bedroom as he picked up his laptop and went online to l
***The morning air was crisp and tinged with anticipation as Nathan waited to receive the delivery of the face mask that he bought online. After taking delivery of the face mask, he got ready as he rushed over to the spot where he asked his subordinates to meet him.Nathan and his subordinates crouched in the shadows outside Josh's small condo. They had been waiting for hours; their senses heightened, and every muscle taut with readiness. The mission was clear: kidnap Josh by any means necessary. Nathan wanted to make sure he got to the bottom of who knew that he was alive and who came after him.Nathan and his subordinates were all dressed in black overall outfits and had masks on. They had guns ready with other weapons to ensure that they got the job done. They knew that Josh was going to be around some guards, and they were ready to kill anyone beside Josh to abduct him."We've been waiting long enough," Nathan muttered, his voice low but steely with determination. "Keep your eyes
The wounded man gasped as the magic took hold, his muscles tensing with the shock of the healing process. But Nathan's grip remained firm, his determination unyielding.Slowly, almost imperceptibly, the wound began to close. The torn flesh knitted itself back together, the jagged edges smoothing into seamless skin. The pain faded, replaced by a sense of warmth and vitality.And then, with a final surge of energy, the wound vanished entirely, leaving behind only a faint scar as a testament to the ordeal. The wounded man's eyes fluttered open; his gaze was clouded with confusion."You're going to be alright," Nathan said, his voice soft but reassuring. "We've got work to do."As the wounded man struggled to sit up, Nathan turned his attention to Josh. With a sense of grim satisfaction, he approached Josh, his footsteps echoing in the silence of the clearing.Josh stirred, his eyelids fluttering as consciousness began to return. His eyes flickered open, wide with fear and confusion, as h
“You are lying!” Nathan yelled. Nathan just confirmed that Josh knew that he was alive because for him to reply that he has no idea where Nathan was in the first place instead of just telling them that Nathan died meant that Josh knew that he was alive and probably just realized that the question was a setup and replied in this way to keep himself on a safe side.“Y’all should beat him up!” Nathan commanded, looking at his subordinates. As his subordinates approached Josh, Nathan spoke. “If Nathan was dead, then why did you answer in the first place that you had no idea where you were? You think we are a bunch of fools?”The men started punching Josh in the stomach nonstop as he begged at the top of his lungs. “Please, I am telling the truth: Nathan is dead; the answer I gave in the first place was a slip of the tongue!”“You are lying!” Nathan yelled with a lot of aggression in his voice. “Beat him up properly after that, untie him, and go drop him on the side of the street somewhere
***Later that night, Nathan got home conflicted as he laid on his bed with his gaze on the ceiling. On one hand, he felt that Josh knew that he was alive; on the other, he doubted it. He felt he needed to keep an eye on Josh. That would be the only way for him to truly know whether Josh knows that he’s alive or not.Nathan picked up his phone as he called one of the subordinates that went on the operation with him. After a few rings, the subordinate answered the call. “Raymond, I want you to follow Josh around, follow him even to the hospital that he would be taken to, and make sure you find out something useful for me. I feel like he knows that I am alive but is acting like a fool. Please keep an eye on him and give me an update. Is that clear?”"Yes, sir, I am on it.” After that, Nathan ended the call. He knew he could trust all his subordinates and knew how useful they all were.Now that he has someone to keep an eye on Josh, it was time for him to start thinking of a strategy he
Alex hoped that Karina would accept his proposal; he didn’t want to wait anymore to get married to her so that he could take over her company from under her. Alex was tired of playing the long game with her, as it wasn’t yielding any results.***Meanwhile, at the Blackwood mansion, the golden ray from the morning sun cast a warm glow over the entire hallways. Mrs. Blackwood stormed down the hallway with a furious look on her face. She was so disappointed in Karina and wondered why she would turn down Alex’s proposal. She arrived at her bedroom as she barged in without knocking.She saw Karina sitting on the edge of her bed. Karina was shocked as she wondered why her mom would barge into her bedroom like that. “What happened, mom?” Karina was curious to know what she wanted.Mrs. Blackwood asked in fury, her eyes flaring up. “Why didn’t you accept Alex’s marriage proposal?!”Karina now understood where her mom’s anger was coming from. It was no secret that her mom has always wanted he
“Mom, I don’t think now was the right time for him to ask me to get married to him; I still need some time; I am still getting to know him,” Karina hoped that her mom would understand her now.“For how long, Karina? For how long?” Mrs. Blackwood sighed as she sat on the edge of the bed next to Karina.“What do you mean for how long, mom? I still need time to get to know Alex more; we don’t get to see that often; marriage is a lifelong commitment; I wouldn’t want to divorce him down the line just like I did with Nathan.”Hearing this, Mrs. Blackwood now felt that she understood Karina’s worries a bit better. “So what are you going to do now? Because Alex told me that he’s willing to give you one last chance to accept his proposal,”Karina felt that this was the perfect way to find a way to get more time. “Why don’t you ask Alex to give me some time to consider his proposal?”"Alright, baby, I will do that for you.” After that, Mrs. Blackwood got up from the edge of the bed and went out
