Nate didn't know who had sent the photos to him, but for sure, he had a bad motive. The person knew that he or she would be angry and upset after seeing the pictures of Erica together with another man while she already had a husband. People who saw them would think that Erica had cheated on Nate.Moreover, people's views on Nate never appreciated him as Erica's husband because he was jobless and poor. So they never considered Nate as the husband of Erica who was the CEO of the Starry White Company.Nante once again looked at the photos that the anonymous sent to him and checked more carefully the face of the man who was with Erica. But still, Nate couldn't see his face and couldn't guess who the man was because only his back was visible. While Erica's face was very clear they got into the car together."Shit," Nate cursed while clutching his cell phone. He slammed his cell phone on the table and stood up his frustration mounting.He had called Erica after he saw all the photos the ano
The slap was so loud that it made everyone there immediately stop stepping and doing something. The atmosphere turned into silence when they first saw Nate angry while all this time he had only seen Nate who was always silent even though many people denigrated or mocked him.They were surprised that Nate could get angry and slap one of the workers who seemed to be playing tricks on him. The slap left one of the male staff red in the face and the corner of his lip injured. Clearly Nate was using a lot of energy to teach the person who had been disrespectful to him."What are you doing?" asked the male staffer who was slapped by Nate."Punishment for being rude to me," Nate snapped."Who do you think you are?!" he snapped in such a loud voice that everyone there clamped their mouths shut in disbelief that he was so bold with Nate.Although they never liked Nate and never respected him, this was the first time anyone dared to be insolent to Nate. All this time they had only kept quiet be
Nate felt angry and unaccepting of the male staff's attitude and walked away from the building. He didn't even look back at all when some people started whispering about what had just happened in the lobby.He didn't want to waste more of his energy on unimportant people like them. People who always judge someone by their money and wealth. Only respect if that person had a lot of power and had a bad attitude towards poor people.Nate always treated everyone equally even though he was a rich man. He wasn't even arrogant and always treated people well. Except, if they were bad people, Nate would treat them many times worse than what they had done.That was the punishment evil people deserved."Fuck," Nate swore under his breath as he exited the building and was about to walk to his car. He wanted to get back to the office because he knew Erica wasn't there and wanted to ask Morgan for advice.Just as Nate was about to open his car door, he suddenly heard a woman's voice calling his name
Nate widened his eyes as he listened to the information provided by Morgan. She told him that the bodyguard overheard a man talking about a woman named Erica with someone on the phone. He was preparing to photograph them when they got to the hotel. He was the man John Yates had paid to take photos of them secretly.Although Morgan's bodyguards weren't sure that the Erica he mentioned was Nate's wife, they had to at least suspect it because it fit with what was happening to Erica now that she was away with John Yates."Tell the bodyguard who heard the conversation to go back to the hotel and wait for me there. And don't forget to send me the hotel address. I'll go there now!" Nate ordered impatiently. He immediately slammed his cell phone into the side seat and started the car.He drove the car at full speed without caring about the traffic. He was like a madman driving a car on a crowded highway. In Nate's mind, he just wanted to get to the hotel and bring Erica back.He didn't want E
"Erica!"Nate shouted Erica's name again and ran towards her as John Yates' hand was already tapping the card to open the hotel room door.They both immediately turned to Nate with wide eyes in surprise, especially Erica who saw her husband there with a very angry expression on his face."Nate," Erica muttered as she turned to look at him. "What are you doing here?" she asked, confused. She couldn't believe Nate was there as if he knew that she had come to this hotel with John Yates, even though she hadn't told anyone."I'm the one who should be asking you that. What are you doing here?" Nate asked in a cold tone. His eyes narrowed sharply at John Yates who was standing behind Erica. Looking so calm with an annoying facial expression. He even flashed a smile when he saw Nate there. He crossed his arms to stare at Nate with a challenging look."What are you doing here, loser?" asked John Yate."Shut up! I'm not talking to you!" Nate snapped at John Yates. He glanced at him sharply, giv
"Your business?" asked Nate. His eyes snapped to John Yates. He felt very angry that John Yates continued to try to present a gentlemanly figure in Erica's eyes.He knew that John Yates had ulterior motives for Erica. He wanted to separate them because of that, he was doing everything he could to make Erica hate him, and then divorce him.Nate clenched his hands together in anger. He stared at John Yates long enough to feel Erica's hand clasp his."Nate," she called in a low voice. Nate immediately turned his gaze towards Erica. "I can explain," she said."Explain after we leave here," said Nate instead of gripping Erica's hand tightly."But, I can't just leave.""Why? Do you still want to spend time alone with him?" asked Nate irritably. He squinted his eyes at the grinning John Yates.Earlier, the expression on his face made Nate feel annoyed because he acted arrogant as if he had won."It's not like that. It's not what you think. I met John only because of work issues. Not because
"Nate, it's not like that," Erica said in a low voice. She touched Nate's hand and grasped it. Her hand was icy cold from the beach chill, while Nate's was warm. Maybe it was because he was angry.Erica never thought that she would choose John over Nate. She knew that Nate was thinking positively that she would get an invitation to a fundraising event. But the event was a few days away again and she hadn't gotten the invitation yet. And she didn't know what to do when John offered to give him the invitation.Her mistake was not telling Nate because she thought it was a trivial matter. She was just going to meet with John and then leave after she got the invitation from him, but she didn't expect that Nate would think otherwise about meeting the two of them.She was doing it for Nate and his family. She thought that if she could go to the event, she would get some colleagues to work with her. So that his company will shine even more and everyone will no longer dare to demean and insult
Nate turned his head towards the source of the voice. And he saw a woman running towards him in a hurry. Her facial expression looked so scared. She was crying, her face was wounded, and her forehead was bleeding. And there were several wounds on her hands and feet. The woman crashed straight into Nate's body, knocking him to the pavement."Damn!" Nate screeched in surprise as the woman suddenly rushed at him. He immediately walked backward and looked at the woman still kneeling in front of him with a confused expression.He wondered who she was, and what had happened to her at this time of night. Running around with fear on her face and tears breaking out as if she was being chased by someone."Are you okay?" Nate asked, looking at the woman.The woman immediately looked at Nate while crying hysterically. She immediately gripped Nate's legs very strongly and continued to cry without stopping. Her body was shaking violently and Nate could feel it."H-Help me. Please help me," she whim
