Nathan's POV“You’re injured!” Scott gasped, grabbing his injured arm and pulling him inside the room immediately. He tried to pull his arm away from the tight grip that Scott had on him, but his brother was not having any of it.Nathan heard someone else inhale sharply but didn’t turn to find out who it was since his focus had shifted to his injured arm.“Get me a first aid kit!” Scott cried at someone in the room as he sought to stop the bleeding by placing the discarded sheet on the floor on the injured arm. “…and can someone fucking call 911 or the police? Just fucking call someone!.” His brother shouted. Scott was terrified, he could tell. He had felt that way after their recent crash.A certain wave of worry and protectiveness had overwhelmed his instincts and he had thought of nothing else other than Scott who had been besides him.He knew that he had felt that way because of Nathaniel Hayes’s relationship with Scott. The brothers were close and wouldn’t hesitate to put themse
Nathan's POVWaiting was one attribute that Nathaniel Hayes didn’t have, especially waiting patiently and for some reasons unknown to him; perhaps because he was now occupying Nathaniel's body, he had picked up that trait and was running fully well with it. He tried to listen as Dr. Maxwell listed off the things he should and shouldn’t do and how it was crucial that he rested well at home; an instruction he knew he wasn't going to follow." Make sure you keep the area dry even when you're having a bath. I can not over emphasize the importance of taking a rest Nathaniel. You must rest" Dr. Maxwell urged.He gazed at Amber, who was fighting really hard to restrain his chuckle. There was no rest in his dictionary and Amber knew that. He had a lot to do and had no time to loaf about at home over a simple intruder incident." Okay …" Nathan muttered.The doctor nodded, "I expect you back here to redress the wound every three days." Dr. Maxwell finished.Nathan was pleased that Scott had l
Nathan's POV Nathan scoffed. "The intruder was already in the room, and I believed taking him by surprise would throw him off balance. Apparently, he is fantastic in a tight hold", he whispered, recalling how the intruder had dismantled Nathan's headlock."That's still very risky. You could have been hurt." Hayden replied." Still better than giving up without a fight" he muttered." You still think this was a mere fight…" Hayden mumbled, rubbing his fingers through his hair.Nathan sighed. He knew that fighting the intruder was risky, but at that moment, he had fought back based on his instincts. The thought that it might actually be dangerous to fight back and call for help had not even occurred to him.He groaned, "I know. I’ve been scolded by Scott, Myla, my assistant, and even the guards on duty last night, so trust me, I know next time to ask for help,” he replied.It wasn’t like he could shout while the intruder was already standing above him. If he had not responded as swift
Nathan's POVDetective Hayden, leaning in with a sense of urgency, addressed the group in the room, "We're launching an investigation into Bethany to uncover her connection to almost all the crimes happening around you." He said, nodding at them before he continued."In the meantime, this information should stay within the confines of this room. I trust you all to keep it to yourselves," he said, making direct eye contact with each person present.Nathan acknowledged the instruction with a nod, fully aware of the importance of discretion. He was confident in his ability to keep things under wraps. However, he harbored concerns about his brother, Scott. Not because Scott had a tendency to share secrets, but because Bethany held a special place in Scott's heart and he doubt that his brother could keep a blind eyes to things about Bethany.Bethany, he knew, was closely woven into their lives. Having played a maternal role during their upbringing, she held a special position in the twins
Nathan's POVThe man turned back and grimaced, looking at Nathan and Amber from head to toe with a grunted face, before focusing on Nathan's face."Who are you?" He asked, "You shouldn't be here," the man said in a concerned tone.Nathan's gaze shifted to the man's identity card, which hung around his neck. A short review of the card revealed everything he wanted to know. Timothy Treadwell, procurement officer and from the man's tone, he held a little bit of authority in the warehouse.He smiled and said, "I'm here to see the Chief of Operations. I was told he was on the supply floor..." He lied, locking eyes with the man to see how he responded.Another habit he had somehow inherited from Nathaniel Hayes was his ability to read people and body movements like a book.The man scowled and looked around like he was looking for someone, before turning back to Nathan. "And you are?" he inquired.Nathan turned to Amber and extended his hand. He had just gotten out of the hospital and didn'
Scott's POV"Sir, you have an emergency meeting by eleven o'clock with the board of directors." Helen remarked, when Scott entered his office.Scott turned swiftly to face his secretary, with a frown etched on his face. That meeting was impossible because it did not fit into his weekly schedule which he had gone through earlier that week. Furthermore, the monthly board meeting was set on the final working day of the month which was at least a week away, so why was Helen informing him about a meeting, he thought."What do you mean?" he questioned in a harsh tone.Helen gave a sigh like she knew what was coming. She had better start explaining, he thought."The board asked me to inform you of an emergency meeting scheduled for eleven o'clock today," she said." The board scheduled an emergency meeting?" He muttered.Helen nodded slightly, " yes sir," she mumbled.Scott checked his watch. It was almost eleven o'clock in the morning, and he was only learning that he had a meeting with th
Scott's POVScott was already 10 minutes late for the meeting when he entered the elevator after leaving Myla's office to the floor where the meeting was supposed to take place. If there was one thing that he was known for, it was for being on time to events and meetings, but he had spent a significant amount of time on the phone with the lawyer, causing him to arrive late.Scott pushed open the two adjoining doors and entered the spacious room. As usual, the boardroom never ceases to amaze him. He was always left in awe anytime he entered the room, and that was saying a lot.With the long mahogany table that stretched the full length of the room with chairs on both sides of the table, and the big glass window that provided a wonderful view of the city, it was by far the most costly room in the building, aside from the top floor offices.From the looks of things as he scanned the room, everyone had already taken their seats and was waiting for him. He surveyed the faces of the men in
Nathan's POVNathan's phone rang on the way back to the office. He sighed and took it out of his pocket, wondering how he was going to tell Scott that he wasn't yet home but was on the way.When he picked up the phone, the caller ID that appeared on his screen saved him from the explanation, even if it wasn't who he expected.He noticed Amber move closer to him as he looked into the phone. "Why is my brother calling you?" he whispered with a frown etched on his face.It was rare for Myla to call him. Hell, he could count the number of times that Myla had called him on one hand. If Myla called, it was always work related and the call barely lasts up to a minute.Nathan shrugged. "I'm not sure," he said as he answered the phone and turned on the loud speaker."If it's about your brother, he's with me and he's safe." He grumbled into his phone as he answered the call.After meeting Myla, they formed a type of camaraderie in which they teased each other. He had a hunch that Myla and Natha
