Nathan's POVDr. Maxwell had helped him out a little by checking with other hospitals to see whether a man named Lucas had been admitted that night, though he didn't tell Dr. Maxwell the full story of who Lucas was and why he was looking for the man.For all he knew, his body could be lying in a hospital bed in a coma while he occupied Nathaniel Hayes body.His search for what had happened had taken him to many burial grounds and funeral homes, but he had been unfortunate in not uncovering a single detail concerning Lucas's whereabouts.Except that Elton had burned his body or thrown it into the Pacific Ocean, he couldn't explain how his body had vanished out of the surface of the earth without a trace.He sighed and changed lanes, grateful that the road was slightly free from motorist. The second alternative was to face Elton directly and question him about his body, but that would require disclosing his identity to the man. It was a bad option because he needed to conceal his true
Nathan’s POVNathan held his breath while watching her flip through a large inventory book. What if his body was really present at the funeral home? What was he going to do?Would he cry? Surely, it would confirm his fears, but it would also mean that he was dead and had no body to return to if the real Nathaniel Hayes took back his body.Shit! This reality was harder to process than actually being dead.His phone beeped and showed an incoming message. He grimaced as he opened it and discovered it was from David Lakewood, CEO of Solace enterprise.“Can we meet when you are free today? Perhaps after work?” It read.Nathan raised an eyebrow, wondering why David wanted to meet. Was he no longer interested in the deal? Or had something else occurred? He had a thought.“Okay. I will see you after work,” he replied back.He was about to call the man when his attention was drawn to Martha. She was acting strange as she flicked her gaze briefly to him. She sighed and opened another record boo
Nathan’s POVNathan had seen this scenes play out before in most action films, and all he had to do was block the SUV to see who was behind it. He drove out of the space in between the two cars in another lane.If Scott was here, he would probably be having a heart attack, seeing how Nathan was driving so recklessly. He wasn’t sure if he could pull the move he had in his head, but he had to do it. One wrong and he was going to either be dead or in the hospital.One more glance at the rear mirror, Nathan saw an opportunity and dived into it. After he was certain that the black SUV was now right behind him, he slammed the brakes, bringing his car to a halt in the middle of the highway.He hurriedly unbuckled his seatbelt and hopped out of his car without wasting much time, hurrying to the SUV that had stopped forcefully behind him.The SUV driver attempted to drive out, but Nathan’s quick stop led other cars behind the SUV to stop as well, blocking his exit path. Fucking kill that engin
Nathan's POVNathan arrived at the office twenty minutes later. As he walked out of the elevator, it actually felt as if he was marching into his doom. He didn't know what reason he'd give Amber because he couldn't tell him that someone sent by Elton Ross had been tailing him since he left the office or probably since that day.That was so lame and unbelievable. Why would Elton Ross send someone after him? They would all wonder. The excuse wouldn't fly even though it was genuine. He was seriously dreading Amber's reaction.He knew Amber was soft and gentle but not when the guy was pissed off . He had seen Amber being pissed at some employees during their secretary meeting, so he knew the guy was not to be toiled with.He was on his way to his office when he noticed Amber standing outside, his head bowed to his phone as he typed furiously into it.If Amber was outside his office, does that mean that Dual investments was no longer around. Shit! Had Amber failed to stall and keep them u
Nathan's POVNathan needed to get Scott off his back for the time being, and if promising to meet Hayden would accomplish that, then he would go.He just needed to go to the station and talk to the man. Scott didn't need to know exactly what they had talked about. Nathan wasn't sure about how he felt with letting Hayden know what had truly happened. He still had that feeling not to trust anyone for now. He sighed.Scott arched his brow, as if he didn't believe Nathan would go to the station, but he reluctantly nodded his head. He knew this would not be the last time Scott would raise the issue.Knowing Scott, the guy would make sure Nathan kept his word."Okay," Scott said after a while."Now you can actually go home and rest. I'll handle your schedule for today and reschedule any meetings that can wait. The meeting with Dual investments, I'll brief you on that later." Scott murmured.Nathan was not going to argue with Scott about this. His body felt worn and exhausted, and all he wa
Nathan's POVHe raised an eyebrow at her, wondering what she intended to say.Jane cleared her throat, “ I can take him to the kid’s room to you know play there while I watch him so you both can talk…” she said.Nathan frowned. Did they have a kid's room in the Hayes mansion? He had a thought. Is that what the room before the game room was? He'd always wondered what the colored door besides the game room was for and since it was not being used, Nathan had not bothered to check, thinking that it was empty.However, this was the first time he had heard of having a kid's room, considering the fact that there were no kids in the house. Instead of asking Jane about the room, he nodded and looked at David.Keeping the child engaged while they talked was a smart idea. At the very least, David would pay attention to the discuss rather than try to keep his son from touching anything in the room as he had been doing since they arrived.Nathan also trusted Jane to take good care of the child l
Nathan's POVNathan was in a dark room, which was clearly illuminated by only one source of light: a bulb in the center of the room. he looked around, noticing how dark every other area in the room was, apart from where he was standing.The entire area was filled with shelves as tall as the ceiling, each containing a box of documents or files. It had to be a store room, he thought.He looked around, unsure of what he was actually doing in the room and how he had gotten there in the first place. Last he checked, He had gone to bed after his meeting with David Lakewood, the CEO of Solace Enterprises after waiting for Scott to get home.Nathan groaned, turning around to look for the entrance, but just the area he was standing in was illuminated, so he couldn't see where it was."how the fuck do I get out of here?" He thought.He patted his pocket in search of his phone, and when he found it, he took his phone out. He turned it on, frowning. At least it worked in the room, but Something w
Nathan's POVNathan frowned and squinted his eyes to read the list, but he couldn't see what was written on the paper. It was as if the paper was just a blank sheet and nothing was written on it." It's literally everyone in the company!" Nathaniel Hayes shouted. " Who the fuck isn't on the list Myla. This is almost everyone…" Myla sighed as he handed Nathaniel Hayes a flash disk that Nathan immediately recognized. This was it, he thought. It was the identical flash drive he had discovered that night, tucked beneath Nathaniel Hayes' table. He wondered how Nathaniel Hayes had gotten it and now, he was getting answers. What shocked him though was Myla's statement about everyone in the company being in the list. He was going investigate the list if he ever woke up from this moment, he Thought.Nathan quickly realized what had happened. If it was the same flash drive, he turned his head to look at the paper in Nathaniel Hayes' hand. The paper then had to include a list of those implic
