When Nathan woke up the next morning. Everything was spinning around him. The fact that some insane bitch tried to trap him didn't seem well at all"Damn that slut" he muttered as he pushed himself into a sitting position and slowly buried his face in his palms. For now, he had to stay home and nurse his pain"Good morning"the door opened and it was Laura who walked in holding a tray. Nathan quickly covered himself when he was about to climb out of bed and awkwardly cleared his throatLaura stopped in her tracks when she saw him. Recalling the previous night. She shook her head and walked to him"So you are awake… I asked the cook to brew some medicine for you" Laura said and handed him the bowl, Nathan was perplexed as he hesitantly extended his hand to get the bowl."What are you… an ancient woman?"Nathan muttered as he brought the bowl close and placed it on his lap. Laura who was already dressed for work chuckled "It will help you… just drink it and have enough rest… "she said an
"You seem off. What happened?"Larissa asked and took a seat opposite her friend. Laura exhaled heavily and picked up her glass of wine. It was late in the afternoon and Laura was having a bad day. She tried distracting herself with work unfortunately that didn't work for her"Is this about the family or Nathan?"Larissa asked and scanned her friend. She was looking upset. Her face showed it all"It's nothing… I kinda like it here" Laura remarked, she was invited by Laura to a resort just to relax. Laura did not like taking breaks, unfortunately, she was now having lunch with Larisa. The woman who liked partying more than anything"It can be nothing okay? I know you… I went only for a week and I come back and find this"Larisa was sure something was bothering Laura, her friend was never the quiet type"Just tell me… I still want to know the reason…you marrying Nathan, where did it come from"Larisa asked, she was concerned about her friend"Isa, I'm okay… I just need some fresh air and I'
Laura was finding it hard to breathe, this was a prank. All men were the same no matter their age. They knew how to get into a woman's mind and played their cards wellNathan was no different, he was shrewd with a venomous tongue, a voice that would lure any woman to him effortlessly. The work of his hands proved provocative, his gaze was dark and penetrating. Any woman would die in his arms. Melt to butter at the brush of her lips against hisNathan was that man, with the right body, the right words, and the right approach, he was the devil in disguise. If not careful even a powerful queen may fall to her feet"Just tell me" he murmured while caressing her face gently, his voice low and deep. His hot breath fanned her cheek so much that a shiver rushed through Laura. "Laura, this shouldn't be a secret… I want to know when?"Nathan added gazing into her Amber eyes intensely as if seeking refugee, trying to find the deepest darkest secrets she had"Why should I tell you… what rights do
"Mom…uncle this is getting out of hand okay" Camila paced before her mom and uncle. They had a problem and that was Nathan. It was like their presence didn't matter to Laura. Now all he cared about was Nathan"He gave him power of attorney…uncle that man had my sister bewitched with his black magic"Camila pointed out feeling frustrated. Slowly they were losing a. everything. Her mom had become a laughing stock all because Laura refused her from getting access to her bank account. Not just that but Camila was going through a crisis because her sister took her credit cards, her cars, and every fancy accessory she had that she flaunted."You did something so stupid and you think we are fools… your uncle had to deal with that doctor to hide what you did"Elizabeth snapped at her daughter. She didn't things foolishly and now Laura was certain Nathan was innocent and her family was the enemy"I don't care… just do something about him because all of us will end up in the streets soon," Camila
"I'm so sorry… I…"Laura was nervous as she tried to put the photo frame back on the table when she missed and the frame fell and shattered on the floor"O didn't meanwhile go on her knees to pick up the frame and the broken glass when Nathan beat her to it"It's okay" he muttered shoving her hands aside and carefully picking up the frame and placing it on the nightstand "You shouldn't touch those… I'll ask for a vacuum," Laura said when he was about to pick up broken glass pieces with his hands"I'll take care of it, don't bother, "Nathan said without even looking at her. There was something about Nathan's change of behaviour that bothered Laura. He was angry but was suppressing it.Soon Nathan left the room leaving her wondering. Shortly the door opened and Nathan walked back in with a brown and a dustpan "Let me have it" she insisted taking the broom when"Lady… why are you being so nice huh… this isn't your cup of tea… I'll fix it, ``Nathan said, looking at her with a frown. She
Nathan was stunned to see the factory, from the exterior to the interior. He had never seen something so sophisticated before. It was larger than anything he had ever seenHad efficient active workers doing their jobs. He could say it was the largest manufacturing plant he had ever seen..he didn't know the woman had such a treasure in her graspIt was a complex consisting of several buildings filled with machinery, where workers manufactured items. He had a chance to see the Warehouse-like facilities that contained heavy equipment used for assembly line production"Wow, it's beautiful" Nathan was more than impressed, it turned out the lady lived up to her reputation"I don't usually come here…that's why I let my workers do the needful…"Laura said once they left the control room. Nathan nodded in amusement. He was more than happy to work for Laura. She was an intelligent woman. She ran the company better than some men wouldIndeed she was the iron lady of Huston"But is it really neces
Nathan was damned to listen to the men yelling for him to go backHalf of the building was in flames. The entire place was filled with smoke that no one could see who was who. Despite how the fire was being put out. He already entered the area, unfortunately, with the security men running around getting the workers out, Nathan was irritated. She couldn't see anyone bringing out Laura. Or did she manage to get out, the building was being evacuated. And there was no sign of Laura or Jeremy"Damn it," he muttered once he managed to get closer. Four more unconscious men were brought out and placed on the ground away from the buildingNathan rushed to the security men hoping to get any answers"Sir please get out of the way…it's dangerous in there" one of the men shouted when Nathan rushed to them"Where is your boss…did they get lady Laura out, "Nathan asked dragging the man by the collar"Please sir…we are trying everything we can to save everyone""Is lady Laura out of that damn buildin
A day passed after the fire incident occurred. Nathan had successfully rescued Laura out of the fire. She wasn't harmed severely although suffered some burns"Just because you saved my sister doesn't make you some hero," Jeremy said sarcastically when Nathan came downstairs to get some warm soup for Laura. He asked the servants to prepare something for Laura however Patty wasn't around hence he decided to make himself"I'm sure he wants us to praise him…such a pathetic man he is"Camila too chimed in. Both brother and sister blocked Nathan's way. Jeremy was not happy with how Nathan was carrying himself as though he cared about Laura"Just know this means nothing to us… already uncle fired you from the company…my sister is still unconscious…pack your bags and leave"Jeremy said with a warning glare. He was happy her uncle came back just at the right time to take over the company. Nathan was good for nothing"This man is naive… if you want to stay here then…why not join the servants beca
