Scott's POVWhen Scott exited the station, he was not himself. Thinking about all that Detective Hayden had told him, he almost went back home, but then changed his mind and made the decision to at least go to the office and show up.Scott had briefly nodded to the people who greeted him at the company and had headed straight for the private elevator before any other person intercepted him. He wanted to make himself as scarce as possible.He gave his secretary a nod before going into his office. Since he had been recovering at home, Nathan had been using this specific office; their father's office which was the office occupied by the company's president and CEO.But now that Scott was back, he would either need to relocate to the only other office on that level or continue to work in his father's office while Nathan stayed in the other one.Whichever one, he was going to let Nathan make that decision.Gazing at the paper he had gotten at the station, he sighed. It included his signa
Nathan's POVWith a groan, Nathan watched as Samuel blasted out of the office, shutting the door behind him with a loud bang. " What a showoff" he muttered, rolling his eyes when Scott cut him a glare.According to Scott, when he had woken up from his coma, Samuel was one of the nice people that he could trust, since the man was supposed to be best friends with Nathaniel. Therefore, Nathan really didn't want to irritate or upset Samuel and had done everything he could to be cordial with Samuel. However, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.He wondered why Samuel was so insistent on this particular deal. It wasn't an omission that Samuel had not seen that the sub contractor for the Project was missing. Nathan guessed that Samuel had decided to overlook it, but why?Scott signaled for Nathan to pay attention by clearing his throat. Nathan rolled his eyes again as he centered his gaze on his brother. He opened his mouth to tease Scott, but his brother had a serious lo
Nathan’s POV"I'm absolutely thrilled to be having lunch with the legendary Hayes brothers," Susan Spike exclaimed with a delighted expression on her face.At that very moment, Nathan wanted to roll his eyes, but he had a feeling there was a daily limit to how many times it could be tolerated. While biting into a steak he had prepared, he let out a heavy sigh, making sure that Scott heard him.While Scott continued to avoid looking at him, he leisurely chewed the steak and smirked. Was this what eating in a five star restaurant looked like, he thought.The restaurant was calm with a song playing at the background while men and women whose pockets held more money than he could count. The meal was delicious and if there was any good thing that had come out of the lunch date with Susan, it was the food.It was no surprise to him that Scott had already planned lunch, but he hadn't anticipated that anyone else would show up. Scott had tricked him into coming for the lunch with Susan Spike
Nathan’s POVNathan stepped in, “I’ll take that,” he said, snatching the envelope Susan had given to them at the restaurant from Scott. “Thank you!,” he exclaimed as he rushed into his office and shut the door before Scott could say anything more.Nathan felt relieved, even though he didn’t understand why Scott hadn’t followed him but had left him alone. He had been expecting his brother to come after him in order to take the envelope back from him. Maybe Scott felt that he wanted to familiarize himself with the deal.He went straight to his chair and sat down, pulling the documents out of its envelope right away. As he turned on his computer, he was going to catch up on the project so he could figure out exactly how to exact his retribution, but someone knocked on the door.He raised his head to the door, curious as to who it may be. “Come in,” he said, watching as the door opened and an unfamiliar woman entered his office. Helen had to have let that stranger up if they were on th
Nathan’s POVWhen Nathan turned to go into his office from the elevator, he saw Scott staring at him, and he grimaced. His brother looked at Helen immediately, avoiding Nathan’s eyes, as though he were speaking to her.Nathan rolled his eyes. If they were genuinely keeping an eye on him, he wouldn’t be shocked. Knowing his brother, Scott was probably dying to know how the interview had gone.Well, sad for him, because Nathan wasn’t going to tell, he thought.“is the next person here?” he inquired, observing Scott flinch as he turned to face him.Helen cleared her throat and nodded as she scratched the back of her neck. “Yes, sir,” she answered, looking at everywhere that wasn’t him.“Please send them in,” he said as he entered his office. He knew exactly what Scott was doing, so his plan had been to ignore him, but he changed his mind and stuck his head out the door.Nathan shouted at them, “And you too, stop monitoring me!” before closing the door.When he heard a knock, he in
Scott’s POVScott was unable to sleep. He kept on rolling around in bed for some reason unknown to him. He had thought that it was work that had kept him up that night and then dropped work to finally sleep, yet here he was, rolling around in bed.He released a sigh as he opened his eyes to stare at the white ceiling. The chat he had with Nathan earlier, kept playing in his thoughts."Oh, I thought as much." Nathan had said.Nathan had not been surprised when Scott told him about what he had talked with Detective Hayden days earlier. He had mustered all the strength to finally talk about it after Nathan had bothered him several times about it.Could it be because of the list that even Nathan himself didn't know how he had acquired it? He thought. Had someone tried to hurt Nathan because of the list?. If it was because of the list, then whoever had tried to hurt Nathan before was going to continue trying because Nathan still had the list.He grumbled as he buried his head under his pil
Nathan’s POVFor some reason, Nathan couldn’t sleep. He had turned and turned on the bed and even had to turn off the lights in the room, including the one on his nightstand, but still, sleep had escaped him.He sighed, peering into the darkness. He almost chuckled at his situation, straining to see the figure that the drapes on his balcony door were forming.The wind blasted a cool breeze into the room, and he grimaced as he felt the cool air on his skin. His balcony door was open, he had to close it or he would be freezing by morning, he thought. Something hit him instantly, causing him to frown. He had closed it earlier, before going to bed that night, so why was it opened again? The thought ran through his head.Nathan was about to move his leg out of bed when he heard the slow and quiet footsteps in his room. Someone was in his room, he realized.He remained still and didn’t move, closing his eyes quickly.He utilized his sharp senses to pick out exactly the position where the p
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
