The long awaited time came when Liam, Nelson and Naya were summoned to the family mansion on a weekend. The hostile look and cold shoulders from the brothers couldn't be missed but Liam being used to it all wasn't bothered. He walked to the living room with Naya by his side and his head raised up high. Immediately they made themselves comfortable, Granny Elena arrived at the top of the stairs and they all rose to acknowledge her presence. “I can't believe you requested to leave because you have a sinister plan.” She yelled, grabbing the arm of the chair she was occupying. A bit confused, Liam looked from Naya to Nelson before returning his gaze to Granny Elena who was still fuming. Still trying to decipher what the issue was, Liam eyes fell on Nathan who was smirking and for a split second, he had this confused look on his face which further made him convinced it was the brothers handiwork. Propping himself up, he returned his gaze to Granny Elena.“Pardon us, we wouldn't do any
At the end of the silent journey, Dave pulled up in the garage of their home and then stepped out to open the door but Naya beat him to it. Smiling nervously at him, she turned towards Nelson, gesturing to him that they should get in. They were almost entering the building when she turned around at once and then ran towards Dave who was about to get into the car. “Have you had dinner yet, you can come join us, please.” She said with a look of uncertainty in her eyes. Dave didn't respond to her, instead he got out of the car and then began to head towards the building with Naya leading the way. While at the table, Naya kept stealing glances at him while he ate. She felt he was an interesting person to study and was itching to find out who exactly he was. Asking Liam wasn't a bad idea after all but she decided to find out about his personality herself. “Do you want more?” She asked when he took the last beef off his plate. As usual, Dave acted like he wasn't being spoken to. Th
Alraic, seated behind the mahogany table in his office, was drumming his fingers against it as he stared at the door which was slightly opened. It was now two weeks since he last met with Naya and so he was waiting for a positive response from Nathan who was on his way. “She will be mine.” He muttered, his lips breaking into a coy smile at the thought of it. Nathan on the other hand was in the garage of the hotel. He had his head buried in his palms as his heart slammed hard against his chest. Despite all his efforts, he had failed in convincing Granny Elena to hand over Naya to someone better and to make matters worse, Liam was always pooping in his face. “What am I going to do now?” He muttered, biting his bottom lips. Grasping the steering wheel with both hands, he shot his head upwards only to see two bodyguards which no doubt belonged to Alaric standing beside his door. With a nervous smile, he wound down his window. “I will join you shortly.” He said, trying to wound the
Thanks to the tracking and wiretapping device, Dave was able to get first hand information of what Nathan was up to. Earlier, when he got a hint about it, he had refused to spill it until he was certain about it but now that he was, he decided to get Liam and Naya involved. Suddenly, Naya pulled herself off her chair and with her hands resting on her waist, she walked up to Dave who was trying to fix some puzzle pieces together. “Mind if I join you?” She asked, plopping next to him. “If I had needed your help, I would have asked for it.” He retorted, not even bothering to look in her direction. “I don't intend to help you in the first place, I wanted to ask a question instead.” “Shoot.” Naya took in a deep breath and after darting her eyes around for a while, she focused her gaze on him. “Why did you suggest I see him in Liam's company?” “So he would know you're married and he would steer clear from you. Nathan is adventurous, it wouldn't be long before he finds a way to push

Immediately after the call, Nathan tossed his phone on the table and then plopped on the foot of his bed. With his head buried in his palm, he began to brainstorm, trying to wrap his head around Alaric's revelation. “No way. I never told them about pairing Naya with him, how come they knew about it.” He groaned. Still in this state of dilemma, the door flung open and Sam stepped in. He had been calling his phone but he wasn't picking up so he thought all was not well. “What is the issue this time around?” Sam asked, resting his back against the wall. Nathan, pissed and perturbed at the same time, didn't waste time in telling him everything Alaric had said to him. “How did they find out?” Sam asked, plopping on the couch. “That which I don't know.” He took a pause before he continued, “The thing that baffles me is, we don't have our conversation on phone and so there is no way Liam would have hacked into my device.” he hissed, digging his hand into his hair. The following day a
Drumming his finger against the wooden table, Nathan was shaking his legs as he waited for the technician who was yet to return with any positive result. Since Naya was maintaining her stance that she had only worked with her instinct, he smelt something fishy so he employed the services of a technician to look through his car, just in case he finds a foreign object. “Has he found anything yet?” Sam asked, strolling into the balcony where Nathan was waiting for a response. “Not yet. But I know he will come up with something very soon.” He mumbled, pushing his hand into his hair. Moments later, the technician returned and with his hands resting on his hips, he shook his head sideways. “What do you mean? I'm being tracked and you couldn't… damnit. I should have gone for someone better.” He groaned. “The device had been removed.” The technician replied. “How do you know that when you couldn't bring it out?” He yelled at him, slamming his fist against the table as anger surged thro
Smiling, Liam continued to approach Nathan who wore a smirk on the side of his lips. With a meter distance between them, Liam pushed his hand forward. “Your IMEI number.” He said. “How did my phone get to you?” Nathan asked with a shock filled face mixed with anger. Not only had his cover been blown, he was angry that Liam was the one assigned to handle his phone. “I was asked to work on it.” He replied with a carefree tone. Still seething with anger, Nathan snatched his phone from him. “I will get back to you.” He said through gritted teeth and then stormed off. Liam was still staring at his departing figure when Xavier who had watched everything scurried towards him. “My goodness, who exactly are you?” Xavier asked, wrapping his hands across his chest. “What are you talking about?” “Now, don't get the wrong idea. I just want to know why the family of the elites keep picking on you.” He said. Now standing in front of Liam, he studied his face for a while and then shook his he
