Nathan's POVThe noises from outside Nathan's room, however, interrupted his stream of thinking and prevented him from continuing his search for his phone.He scowled as the yells became louder. Nathan pondered what the hell was going on in the as he climbed out of bed. He could distinguish at least three different voices. One belonged to Scott, while the other two were too noisy to distinguish.Nathan questioned why Scott was shouting at the top of his voice. Was he yelling at a staff or something?Nathan descended down the stairs, jumping two steps at a time to reach the source of the chaos. The more he got closer, the louder the voices were. The first person he saw was Jane, so obviously one of the voices belonged to her.This was the first time he had seen her yelling at the top of her lungs in the months she had lived at the Hayes mansion. She'd always been a calm and reserved woman, and even when he did things that irritated her, she never lost her cool.She was always patient
Nathan's POVNicholas narrowed his eyes at Nathan, saying, "Last I checked. You did this out of jealousy towards Rivers Estates...Samuel had the deal under control. But you simply had to let your ego get involved..." Nicholas accused.Ego? What the hell did ego have to do with breaking the deal? It was a poor transaction from the start, and he blamed Samuel for failing to notice it. "Well, the last time I checked, I was the CEO and President of Hayes Holdings, not Samuel. I make the final decision, not Samuel or Scott! So the next time you intend to confront Scott, perhaps you should do your homework on who runs the show, asshole!" Nathan gritted between his teeth.Nicholas smirked, and Nathan did all in his power not to Punch the man's face in order to take that smirk away. If self control was a person, he was that person." It still does not change the fact that you broke a deal with us! A deal that was already in motion before you came in. I’ll make sure that the whole country kno
Elton Ross' POV "He's on to us, sir," Dane mumbled hurriedly the moment Elton got to where the man was standing.Elton scowled, unable to comprehend what Dane was saying, the man had better speak clearly or he would walk away: "What do you mean, he's into us? Who is on to us?" He asked, arching a brow.Dane pulled his fingers through his hair, looking increasingly irritated and scared. Elton couldn't remember the last time he'd seen Dane like this, especially without his shadow, Jackson, following him.Dane was always well coordinated and could control his emotions well. The man made sure that he didn't wear his emotions on his sleeve and it was difficult to discern what Dane was feeling at any given time.Seeing Dane looking scared, made him frown in worry.Dane sighed, "Nathaniel Hayes. He is fucking on to us...I knew we shouldn't have messed with him," Dane remarked through tight teeth.What? Nathaniel was on to them? He had no means of knowing about their plans. Elton had merely
Elton Ross, POV Rivers Estates was far more significantly better than Solace Enterprises. Even Ross construction was considerably superior to the Solace operation, Elton thought as he entered the building. He hadn't given up on Project 100 and was actually at Solace Enterprise to check out his rival and encourage the CEO not to accept any deals from Hayes Holdings. If Hayes Holdings was going to take Rivers Estates out of the project, it was very likely that they would go with the company that finished in second place in the competitive bid. Surprisingly, Solace Enterprise, with its limited resources, had submitted a better proposal, but Rivers Estates won due to its name and reputation in the sector.That was what they wanted others to know. The only reason why Rivers Estates had won that bid was because he had offered some huge incentives to some decision makers in Hayes Holdings and right now, they were failing him.He sighed and tucked the envelope he was holding, under his ar
Elton Ross' POV Elton groaned; he had thought David would listen to him and not force him to do what he had planned to do in the first place, but the man was clearly stubborn and was still relying on his little pride.He took out the envelope and threw it on the floor in front of David. He arched his brow, waiting for the man to pick it up. He had no respect for David Lakewood right now, and he was willing to go to any length to ensure that Solace Enterprises did not receive the fucking contract.The entire country knew that the Project was going to be managed by Rivers Estates, with Ross construction as the subcontractor, even if Hayes Holdings has not given an official announcement. It would look bad if they didn't get the contract, only for Solace enterprise to be awarded the contract. People will talk and it might affect the company stocks when rumors starts flying."Pick it up," he ordered.David chuckled dryly. "What's this? A joke?!" He muttered. "Why should I pick up someth
Nathan's POVNathan awoke that morning, feeling ill. He had no idea how he had developed a fever throughout the night, and as he rolled to the edge of the bed, every inch of his body ached. It was as if he had been hit by a trailer carrying a truck load of goods. Getting out of bed had never seemed like a big effort until that morning. He took in a deep breath as he closed his eyes to allow the wave of dizziness to subside. After finally getting out of bed, Nathan headed straight to the restroom and peered at his reflection in the mirror. He looked like hell.Nathan's hair stuck in different directions. His eyes were somewhat puffy, his face appeared pale, and his top lip was chapped. What the hell? he wondered as he stared at himself in the mirror.He looked more like a ghost than a human at the moment.Nathan sighed as he opened the cabinet filled with containers, at the top.He was confident that Jane had stocked up a regular supply of pain relief medication, so he chose one of
Nathan's POVThe news kept playing and he frowned when several other blurred out pictures were shown on the screen.What the hell was that? He thought, reading the headlines.Nathan spotted David Lakewood's face again and quickly read the headline beneath it. He couldn't understand what he was seeing at first, but after processing it, he sat up and asked, "Can you turn on the volume of the television?" with a grimace.He felt shivers run down his spine. There was no chance he was reading correctly because it wasn't true, he thought. Perhaps the editor accidentally typed the wrong headline. It had to be a mistake.Jane nodded and rushed to get the remote of the television, adjusting the volume of the television.The newscasters voice was soft and filled with an underlying disgust. He listened to what the newscaster was saying and cursed loudly, "Fuck!" "What is wrong?" Jane inquired, staring at the screen. She could clearly identify David because he had already visited the house and i
Scott's POV"I'm looking at a long-term relationship between the two companies, so you'll have to subsidize your products to make it easier for us to continue with your company after the first distribution." He reasoned."Would that be okay with you?" Scott questioned the man standing in front of him.He had heard the man's proposal of being the distribution company for the next gym business proposal and like everyone in the room, he was pleased. The company was far better than the others who had presented before him. He only had this slight problem and didn't know how Nathan would take it if Scott presented an expensive budget to him. Not like money was an issue.Nathan was overjoyed when he told him that he was finally ready to launch the small chain business project and that he would start by building gyms across the country.One of the reasons why Nathan was glad is that Scott would no longer need to fly outside of the nation to Tokyo. He still didn't understand why Nathan was up
