Nathan’s POV

It surprised Nathan, so he looked to Myla for an explanation. But before he said anything else, Myla shook his head, laughing. “My father is Nathaniel’s godfather.”

Nathan’s mouth widened in shock. This made a lot of sense. With the way the man touched and spoke to him like Nathaniel was his son.

He was confident that the man had spoiled Nathaniel when he was younger. It showed in their brief interaction, even though this was the first time he was meeting the man.

Myla cleared his throat, interrupting Nathan’s thoughts. He sighed and turned to Myla. He was in the guy’s office for a reason.

“ You’re here…why?” Myla asked, a frown etched on his face.

Nathan sighed, “ Rivers Estates is suing Hayes Holdings. Apparently, Samuel gave them a verbal agreement that was recorded and they are suing for breech if contract..” he explained.

Myla blinked before he huffed angrily. He knew that Myla didn’t involve himself in anything that involved the running of the company, but now, the

Nate had said that he didn’t need any maid helping him to dress, but Nathan was starting to doubt that decision. Maybe the boy actually needed help.Nathan’s gaze however remained locked on what he was reading on his iPad, and he didn’t bother checking to see if Nate had gone upstairs to change because he knew the youngster was still standing there.“You said that about the pants I wore two minutes ago.” Nate murmured.He rolled his eyes and glanced up at the child. “Exactly my point, Nate. I got you a new pants last week, so I would appreciate it if you put those on instead, rather than this one that looks like it was handed down to you by some charity cause…” he suggested, arching his brow when Nate moaned loudly, showing his displeasu

She acted like she was used to seeing this sights.Nathan watched in amazement, wondering what the hell had happened in the room. There was no possibility the room hadn’t been cleaned that morning, given that he had entered it only a few hours before.He gazed at Nate, who was holding a pair of black sneakers and looking at his feet. “ Why does it look like a volcano erupted in your room?!” He asked in bewilderment.Nate gazed up at him and boy his lower lip before lowering his head and staring at his feet.Nathan felt like shaking the kid until he opened his mouth to speak.

He had driven Nate around town; which gave him time to think, so it had taken him a long time to get to the restaurant. The actual journey was supposed to have been less than thirty minutes.He sighed, unbuckling his seatbelt as he stared at the rear mirror. "We're here," he whispered to the boy, hopping out of the car. Nathan stepped over to Nate’s side and opened the door for the boy to step out.He made sure to show his displeasure over what had happened and that Nate saw his facial expression.Nate followed silently behind him as he entered the five-star restaurant.

    Nathan's POVThe door chimed, causing him to turn around. Saved by the bell, Nathan thought as He watched Stephen stroll inside the restaurant and waved to the man. When Stephen looked around the restaurant in search of him, and saw him, he approached the table."A beautiful afternoon to you, sir." Stephen greeted him, taking one of the two empty seats. The man wiggled his eyebrows at Nate who muttered a greeting to him.Nathan nodded. “Same. I just ordered, and the meal should be ready in a few minutes. I hope you enjoy cheeseburgers,” he muttered. He had ordered the same food for Stephen, having eaten lunch with him once.If Stephen didn't like it, then he would package it for home.Stephen smiled and shrugged. “I’m good with anything you order. How’s work?” he asked.Nathan sighed. He disliked talking about work at the table, but it was what they were there to discuss. It was hard getting a schedule to suit Stephen or even meeting the man when he was free.So instead of waiting fo

    Nathan’s POVWhen they finished eating, Stephen wiped his lips and relaxed in his chair, gently sipping his drink. Nathan did the same thing too, waving to the waitress who was standing in the corner.The waitress came over and began clearing the table, but Nathan noticed Nate was still eating. He had thought Nate was eating earlier as he had seen the boy, but after checking Nate’s plate, he saw that Nate actually wasn’t.Nate was simply turning his fork into the pasta, acting like he was actually eating.He frowned, “You’re not eating?” Nathan muttered.Nate lowered his head so that his forehead was almost touching the platter of pasta and that pissed Nathan off.“ I don’t like pasta…” Nate mumbled.Nathan snorted. The kid literally couldn’t go a day without eating pasta; it was his favorite. So saying that Nate didn’t like pasta was surprising.“ What do you mean you don’t like pasta. You eat this everyday!” Nathan barked.Nate recoiled back from him at first before frowning. “I don

    Scott’s POVMyla had been correct. At the present, starting a small chain business, such as a retail store, would only deplete their resources and provide them with long-term profits, that is if Hayes Holdings could manage the business effectively.If Hayes Holdings wanted to make a quick profit, starting a gym business across the country was the best option. Their name and reputation would sure boost their membership rate and bring in more profit.He quickly dressed up in a polo and shorts because he had no other plans for the day. He planned to spend the remainder of the day at home, hoping that Nathan and Nate would return before dinner.He knew Nathan had taken Nate out to lunch to spend time with the youngster, as it had been a long time since Nathan had had the opportunity to have fun himself.With project 100 and other ventures on the way, Nathan had little time to take care of himself.

    Scott’s POVGrowing up, Nathan was never a difficult child. He was a role model that every parent would want their child to emulate; therefore, he understood that what Nate was doing was so frustrating to Nathan that he didn’t know what to do.Even at school, Nathan was never involved in anything negative or bad. He was always at the top of his class, even teaching other students. Parents would always commend Oleander Hayes for his amazing son.Nathan started working at the company at fifteen, which was the official age if they were not counting other times Nathaniel had to go to the office with their dad. He was already handling sensitive documents and projects at the company.Well, if Nathan was the model child, Scott was the opposite. It wasn’t that he was not capable or not as intelligent as his brother, he just avoided the spotlight that Nathan dances in. Scott was never jealous at any point, of his brother. Hell, it gave him the opportunity to do things that he wanted to do; li

    Scott's POVScott had not anticipated hearing what Nate had just said. He groaned, losing all desire to reprimand Nate. He turned to face his brother, who had a guilty expression on his face.The boy was alone even though he was living in the house with them. That was something they had not considered. Nate recently lost his father, who had been there his entire life. He also lost his mother when he was very little. Scott was well familiar with the pain of losing a lost one as he had lost both father and mother too. He was experienced with loss, but he dealt with it in a different, unhealthy way: he shut off the entire world. Nate was still a child, and he was dealing with sadness in the only manner he knew how: seeking attention from those who should be caring for him, even if it meant having a terrible attitude.Scott sighed, dragging his fingers through his hair. How had they missed these signs. He should have known this, especially Scott.Nathan walked past him and joined Nate

They had tried to be as quiet as they possibly could, but was failing miserably.He tried to open his eyes, but they seemed to have a mind of their own and were taking their sweet time to do so.His interest piqued as he overheard someone speak. "He's awake! His eyes are shaking. Shouldn't we call the doctor…"Who's awake? Lucas thought. It had to be him that they were referring to. He was lying down on a warm bed too.He attempted to move his body, and while it was impossible at first since his body felt heavy like a log of wood, he was able to finally shift his hand.The folks in the room were conversing quicker and moving around, judging by their heavy footfall. He was now curious about what was going on around him.Lucas tried again to open his eyes, and this time he was successful, but he had to close them again, almost immediately, when blinding light entered his eyes."C'

    Nathan's POVNathan shifted his sitting position so that he was half lying down on the plush couch as he watched Elton Ross being carried out of the court and down the stairs.The reporters waiting for an interview outside the court rushed towards him and tried to get near the man despite the officers holding Elton on both sides attempting to stop them."What can you say about the final verdict?!" Someone shouted, prompting more questions from other reporters." Did you plead guilty or not guilty! Are you responsible for the death of your son in-law?!"" What do you have to say about your daughter's murder!"Nathan sighed. Shaking his head. Elton Ross had this coming for him for a very long time. He watched the man lower his head in shame. He rolled his eyes and switched to another channel, but they were still reporting the same story about billionaire CEO, Elton Ross ordering the murder of his son-in-law, Lucas, and how he had pleaded guilty to the other four counts laid against him

    Elton's POVTo others, Piper was just another person who succumbed to the cruel grasp of death. The notion of being responsible for his daughter's death occurred to Elton, but he took a deep breath and buried it.'Now was not the time to deal with trivial matters, Elton'. He reminded himself mentally."Thank you, doctor. How is she?" He asked, alluding to Margaret.The doctor exhaled and shook his head. "She's not well. Her body is frail, and she is deficient in some nutrients, which we are currently injecting into her. I assume she took your daughter's death the hard way," he stated.Elton sighed. "You might say that." He mumbled. He admitted that he should have taken her to the hospital sooner, but assumed she could handle the loss and grief on her own.Margaret has experienced loss before. She lost her parents at a young age. So this shouldn't have taken a toll on her especially when she wasn't close to Piper, but perhaps, the bond between mother and daughter was too hard to ignore

His only daughter had been shot dead by none other than a henchman he had hired.The plan had been simple: shoot once to scare Nathaniel Hayes. But the plan, which had been simple, had grown so complex the moment the henchman had decided that killing Nathaniel Hayes instead would scare the man, and that had brought Elton the most regret.He could still see Piper's smile in his sleep, her smirk, and deep calculative frown, when things didn't go her way, which she had inherited from him. Her seductive stare as she was about to ensnare a man in her fingers.He always woke up dreaming about her and the dreams always ended with that disappointing stare from his daughter. He had killed her.How could he forget her nagging? She had gone to him a few days before her death to protest abou

    Nathan's POVHayden laughed and said, "It's funny how you guys could do things that even the police force wouldn't think of." He said, nodding to August.August rolled his eyes but stayed silent. He had the sensation that the man moved mostly in the dark and kept hidden unless it was essential to reveal himself, which explained his location behind the door.Leslie scoffed. "If you want to survive in a large family like ours, you have to learn to do things on your own. After nearly three hours, they left in different directions. I have a feeling they might not even know the members," he remarked."They fucking wore masks inside the house and blindfolds inside the car while leaving. I was only able to catch a glimpse because the compound was surrounded by a huge wall…" August revealed from where he was half hidden."Give me a coordinate, and I'll get satellite footage of the building and its surroundings. Except, they are hidden underground." Chris murmured.While Chris was talking, Myl

    Nathan's POVEveryone huddled together in the living room. Nathan was sitting on the couch, while Scott sat on the armrest, half leaning against him."How are you?" Hayden questioned him.Nathan frowned. He last saw the man months ago. If Hayden needed to notify them of something, he would always call, or Scott would go down to the station. This was the first time he had seen the detective in a long time, and the way that Hayden was acting gave him the impression that he had conclusive evidence and was only waiting for their agreement to proceed with his plans."I'm fine." He responded. "You were shot at, and Scott said you've been asleep for two days; don't you think it's best you get checked out at the hospital to be sure you're in great shape?" the police officer inquired.Nathan arched his brow; he hadn't considered it before, and now that detective Hayden had mentioned it, he wondered why he hadn't woke up in the hospital instead, especially given Scott's overprotective and cau

    Nathan's POV“So, is this a visit or what?” he inquired, smiling. He didn’t want them to notice how tense he was. Too many Hayes in one house was enough for one person to notice something unusual about him and begin connecting the dots.It wouldn’t be long before they discovered that he wasn’t the real Nathaniel Hayes.Noah narrowed his eyes at him, then shifted his focus to his brother, Nolan. Nolan was the one who spoke first.“You were shot, Nathaniel. I didn’t expect you to forget that.” Nathan blinked. He remembered the experience vividly. He remembered nearly avoiding the gunshot because he had shifted slightly, but he didn’t see how this solved the question of why they were all there.August sighed and approached him, laying an arm over his shoulders. “Someone made the mistake of attempting to kill you, Nathaniel. You didn’t expect us to fold our hands and keep them out of it, right? And no,” he replied, shaking his head. “It became our business the moment someone pointed a

    Nathan's POV“So what do we do if they are everywhere, dad?” the child said. The man stated, “We fight for what we have.”If the child was Nathaniel, and he had called the man dad, then it was clear that the man had to be Oleander Hayes, Nathaniel’s father. This was his first time hearing the man’s voice. Why did it have to be now? He wondered. Now that he felt Nathaniel’s consciousness gradually leaving him. He wasn’t sure if he was going to wake up as Nathaniel Hayes again or if he was going to return back to his body as Lucas.Nathan stepped up to the lamp, hoping it would give him an indication as to what was going on in the room. But when he looked closer, it had no switch. The lamp was turned on without a switch.Weird, he thought. How could a lamp be on without a control switch.“ Fight?” the child; Nathaniel asked. “ can’t we do something else, like run?” The question attracted Nathan’s attention. His first instinct when there was trouble had been to run, but Oleander had

He was calm but his mind was running in circles, wondering what had just happened.One minute, he had been talking to Piper, the next, the gunshots went off and he was collapsing on the floor with Piper’s blood around him.He gazed down at his now blood stained sleeves and gasped in shock. He quickly pulled off his jacket and started unbuttoning his shirt when a hand stopped him.He tried to bat the had off, but the person held on strong. “ Let me help you Nathaniel!” Amber muttered.He sighed, calming down when he recognized Amber’s voice and allowed Amber to help him. Amber unbuttoned his shirt and shrugged it out of his body, dropping it together with the jacket on the front seat. They remained quiet after that.Nathan with his eyes closed, leaning on the seat and Amber making and answering calls.
