Nathan’s POVThe charity gala carried on well after that, Even when people tried to approach him all the time. Sometimes, he had to pretend that he saw someone interesting to avoid their long conversation." does this ever stop …" Nathan mumbled, grabbing the glass that Scott was holding out of his hand and taking a sip.Scott stared at him, taking back his glass with an eye roll, "... no it doesn't. Who are you avoiding?" He asked, looking behind Nathan.Nathan flicked his gaze to the man who was approaching and jerked his finger, " that man. Big eye balls, short and gray suit." He described to Scott.Scott winced, " ouch. Timothy McVeigh. He's the owner of TVT broadcasting station. He's been wanting to chat with you all night…" he explained.He sighed, what the hell did the man want to talk to him about. He made a note to ask Scott about their relationship with the man's company. Timothy McVeigh had almost gotten to where they were when the host of the charity gala climbed the stage

Scott’s POV‘Can you come to the station, Scott? It’s urgent'That was the text Scott had gotten from detective Hayden, and he had been in the process of returning the text when all hell went loose. His mind was only able to register two things: a flashlight and the crash.He could recall Nathan pushing him out of the car and running, but every other thing that happened after that passed by in a flash.Scott felt a solid body on top of him after the explosion, and it took him a few seconds to grasp that the body that was on top of him, and wasn’t moving was Nathan. He groaned in pain, trying to wake his brother, but Nathan didn’t move. Fear overwhelmed him instantly as he thought that the worse had happened. He didn't want to dwell much on his thoughts.“No! No, No!” he chanted as he tried to move his brother away from him. It took him a few seconds but he was able to move Nathan away.The moment he was free of the weight, he turned immediately to gaze at Nathan’s face, but his broth

Nathan’s POV"He's okay; he just needs to rest, and he’ll be as good as new,” Dr. Maxwell assured Nathan.Nathan groaned, pulling his fingers over his hair. At least Scott was now receiving treatment, and as the doctor had informed him, his brother was fine. Scott just needed to rest so the different drugs Piped into his system could work.He heaved another deep sigh, tilting his neck to lessen the agony he was feeling. When Scott had collapsed on the ground, he had imagined the worst, especially seeing his brother’s blood-soaked face.The man he was before; Lucas, had not known anything about brotherly love because he had been brought into the world alone. He had been alone for as long as he could remember, so feeling the way he felt about Scott at the moment was strange, yet familiar. He knew part of the reason he was feeling that was was because of Nathaniel."It's also better if you rest too. It was a challenging day for you too,” Dr. Maxwell suggested.He shook his head. "I'm fi

Nathan’s POVBeing the owner of a multibillion-dollar corporation was a task; a very demanding task, especially when you were Nathaniel Hayes, whom everyone wanted to meet and strike a deal with.It was as if the news that Nathaniel Hayes was now awake had reached the four corners of the earth seeing as people flooded into the company everyday to seek audience with him.Seeing that Scott was still resting at home and was yet to return to work, every single work load landed on his shoulders; even though he knew that his brother was fully well to return and was only using this as an opportunity to slowly hand over the reins of the company to him.Of course, Samuel was still there to support him, but it was still a demanding task. He knew nothing about running a company and had to learn from the scratch.The elevator dinged, and he stepped out into the basement parking lot. Nathan took his time as he walked towards the car humming a song when he noticed that the new driver was already st

Scott’s POVNever had Scott ever imagined that Nathan was ever going to ask if he could trust him. Never in his widest dreams did he ever imagine that trust was ever going to be an issue between them.They had grown up together, linked to one another right from the womb. They had done things together that only the both of them knew about, not even their father. So the question had obviously taken him off balance.Scott looked surprised at Nathan to see if he was really serious or joking. When he couldn’t see any trace of humor, he asked in a tight tone. “Are you for real right now? I am your brother, Nathan. And perhaps the only person you could ever trust”.Whatever was in those folders displayed on the screen of the computer had to be a deep secret if Nathan was acting this way. He noticed a conflicting expression pass through Nathan’s face, as if his brother was still considering whether he should listen to someone.Nathan inclined his head to the side in thought, “I know you’re m

Scott's POVIt could be false, since the list was made ten years ago according to the time stamp on the paper.“ Shit!” He cursed, running his fingers through his hair.“ Exactly my reaction when I saw the list…I can’t even remember the names on the list. I don’t know who they are, Scott “ Nathan whispered.“This is all messed up. What if the list is inaccurate and someone gave it to you to spark up trouble and distrust in the company?” Scott suggested. “Maybe you were in the process of investigating the list before the accident happened,” he continued.That could be why Nathan had not said anything to him about the list. Maybe he had been trying to investigate if the list was true. He moaned, raking his fingers through his disheveled hair. This could be nothing to bother about, he thought.They were yet to hear anything from the police investigation regarding their previous accident, and now this was coming up, Scott thought. Was it too much of a coincidence?“What if someone is tryi

Nathan’s POVNathan woke up with a sense of purpose the next morning. He had half expected that he would sleep through the morning, considering how late he had stayed awake the previous night and finally gone to bed.He had spent the better part of his night going through the videos on the file and attempting to make sense of them. The scenery kept changing in the videos, and he was unable to make sense of what the recorder was really pointing at.Whoever was in charge of recording kept on altering the location and view of the camera. What was the person trying to find out, Nathan thought.Sometimes, the camera was positioned in the hallway, adjacent offices, or even the board room. The location was not consistent, and it was after Scott had called it a night after falling asleep while they were watching the videos that he noticed how late it was.Even after collapsing on the bed, it had taken him a while to finally let go and fall asleep.He massaged his blurry eyes as he climbed ou

Nathan's POVNathan was thinking that the staffs there were going to ignore him since something else already had their attention, but the reverse was the case. It was as if his presence has been announced immediately he stepped into the floor.Everyone stopped what they were doing and glanced at him. He didn’t hesitate in his steps, though even with the eyes on him; he continued marching towards his focus while disregarding the murmurs around him.It took him a little time to locate who he was looking for—the head of the IT department. When he got there, he took a breath and knocked on the door once.“Come in,” he heard the person inside mutter.Nathan turned the door knob and entered the office. He spotted two tables facing each other, and two ladies occupied the table. At the far corner of the office stood another door.The two ladies were obviously secretaries but he wondered while the head of IT department would have two secretaries when he had none and Scott had only one.One of

Lucas's POVLucas heard familiar voices all around him, but his brain couldn't figure out who was speaking. 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

Elton's POVElton Ross stood still, staring at the lifeless body in the ironically beautiful casket. He couldn't believe it had been almost two weeks since he received the news that shocked him to his core. 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

Nathan’s POV The drive home was calm in the car, but the country was not silent that night. 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. He didn’t feel his phone vibrate, so he assumed that Amber was the one with his phone and wa
