THE UNWANTED SON-IN-LAW Can't leave him
The elevator car itself was constructed with a steel framework for durability and strength. A set of steel beams above the car, called the crosshead, span the elevator shaft from side to side and hold the pulley for the hoist cable. A steel structure, called the sling, extends down the sides of the car from the crosshead and cradles the floor, or platform. The sides of a passenger elevator car were usually made from steel sheets and were trimmed on the inside with decorative paneling. The floor of the car may be tiled or carpeted. Handrails and other interior trim may be made from stainless steel for appearance and wearability. A suspended ceiling was often hung below the actual top of the car and contained fluorescent lighting above plastic diffuser panelsNathan had to try to pull Laura from the top. He has fully lowered above and was pulling the panels to pry them open“Calm down Laura… I'll get you out,” Nathan said with heavy breaths as he pried open the top of the elevator. The
THE UNWANTED SON-IN-LAW Not worth it
Laura was woken up by multiple voices talking, reaching her head, she pushed her hair off her face not sure why her head was hurting so much. Her eyes felt heavy and opening them took a lot from her“Laura. Oh, thank goodness you are awake,” she heard her mom's voice when someone reached for her back and shoulders and helped her sit upright“Bring some water…sweetie, how are you feeling… Camila, call the doctor now!” Elizabeth yelled, making Laura's ears ache from the loud voices“Yes mom,” it was Camila said and rushed to the table beside the bed to pour some water for her sister“Where…where is Nate?” Laura asked when she fully regained her senses. Her mom frowned when she requested to see Nathan. “Forget him, Laura… you nearly got killed…the doctor will be here to examine you,” Elizabeth said, only then did Laura realize where she was. Looking at herself, she was lying in a hosp bed. “Mom, where is Nate…please…please tell me he's okay,” fear washed over her when she recalled what
THE UNWANTED SON-IN-LAW The reason
“Well, I didn't mean to… the nurse” Abigail stammered awkwardly, attempting to get out of the room after barging in on Nathan and Laura kissing. Laura cleared her throat and climbed off the bed. “It's okay, he's awake,” Laura said awkwardly and Nathan nodded. Abigail nodded and proceeded in“I came with Adeline and Zoey… they'll soon be here,” Abigail remarked and placed the fruit basket on the table. Laura helped Nathan sit up and then stood beside him. “I see… How is mom?” Nathan asked, he didn't want anyone telling his mom about the accident. Unfortunately, Carl was the one who told them about it“She wanted to come, but I asked her to relax… She insisted Nate…she's worried about you,” Abigail said turning to Nathan, it was awkward standing there, especially when Laura was standing close to Nathan protectively. “She shouldn't worry, Nate is fine…,” Laura chimed in while rubbing her hand on Nathan's shoulder. It was a simple gesture, but Abigail saw something else“Laura, you sh
THE UNWANTED SON-IN-LAW Her late husbands
Nathan was lying in bed, and for the first time, he was glad to be home. The hospital was not his favorite place. It was crowded and filled with equipment, which frightened him. After the doctor discharged him. He was brought back home“Okay, so which part should I start with?” Laura asked once she came back from the bathroom carrying a basin of water and a white cloth. Nathan let out low groans as he shifted a little, so he could get comfortable, “Umm, I'm not broken… I can walk and bathe myself,” he replied, arching his brows at her. She ignored him and placed the basin on the bed beside him. Nathan shifted his gaze down and the water seemed hot. The woman was wearing gray leggings with a white vest and her hair tied in a bun. There was something about her appearance he found quite intriguing. Her voluptuous figure had him averting his eyes. For goodness' sake, he was a man who wasn't concerned with a woman's external appearance. The heart mattered more than the appearance, But La

Nathan was perplexed when he woke up in the morning to hear it was his birthday. His sisters called him to wish him a happy birthday, He wasn't one to celebrate his birthday. Hence, he didn't mind. Since he had recovered. He had to go back to workWhen he woke up, he didn't see Laura anyway. The woman had been busy lately, he wanted to ask what she was up to but dropped the idea“Garry, where is your boss?” Nathan asked when he met Garry on his way outside. The entire house was quiet. Nathan wondered where the noisy people had gone to“Sir, madam is in the garden talking to lawyer Gael,” Garry answered calmly, Nathan nodded and let out a sigh. Garry bowed respectfully and left. Nathan went back to the room to get ready. If Laura was busy, he could get ready and go to the office. Nathan called Robert on his way to take a shower. Unfortunately, the man wasn't answering his phone. One thing was bothering him, he hated the idea of that lawyer spending time with Laura. He wasn't a fool
THE UNWANTED SON-IN-LAW Nothing special
Night approached quickly, the Larson mansion was decorated beautifully as various cars drove straight in after being checked by the security men. Garry and his men were on guard as per Laura's order“Sis, why are you even making this a big deal,” Camila asked when she came to ⁰Laura's room and found her getting ready,“Camila, I thought we talked about this… go downstairs and welcome the guests, I don't want anything to go wrong,” Laura said while applying her makeup, she decided to go for a simple dress“Sis come on… at least not this… I'm all dolled up. I can't stand and welcome guests,” Camila said, feeling irritated. She was looking beautiful. Why was Laura treating her badly“If you want to redeem yourself…why don't you do this huh… if you want your car back… go and welcome the guests,” Laura said nonchalantly and walked back to her bed? Camila frowned, knowing Laura trapped her. She saw the guests arriving and all of them were from well-known families. She wanted to avoid doing
THE UNWANTED SON-IN-LAW A different Laura
“See, he's incompetent… I told you not to throw a party for him, “Elizabeth whispered coldly for Laura to hear. She just heard about Nathan refusing to attend his party. The entire family did so much for him, and he dared humiliate them in front of the guests “Mom, I'm okay… Nathan isn't doing…”“To hell with him, does he think our family is a joke… so many important people are here… do you think telling them the party is over will fix it,” Elizabeth cut her off because she could give any excuse to defend herself, to Nathan. He was a nobody to say no to something so extravagant. The Larson family had a reputation to uphold. Nathan was used to making a fool out of himself to mind about a good reputation “Mom, she'll only defend him… he's ungrateful,” Jeremy added as soon as he joined them. Laura was helpless, her mom insisted on dragging Nathan down. The guests were getting anxious and wondering where he was“It's either he stops acting like a fool and joins us… Or else, I'll make su
THE UNWANTED SON-IN-LAW Illegal drugs
The entire room was in chaos once the police showed up, Nathan's family rushed to him, not sure why the police wanted to arrest him. Claire was going crazy as tears lingered in her eyes“I'm sorry, but your son is under arrest,” the man said sternly “You can't take my son, he's innocent…whatever it is you people just want to cause him harm,” Claire spat out and held Nathan close to her, she was his mother. Her son was innocent. Nathan didn't engage in any illegal activities, “My brother is innocent… I dare you to fake a step and arrest him,” Adeline and Zoey chimed in and shielded Nathan, “Please move aside… Mr. Dawson, kindly cooperate with us,” the police inspector said coldly, Nathan knew someone was trying to frame him. It was pointless defending himself when there was a bigger fish somewhere pulling the strings“Is this a joke to you, are you insane…this is my family…how dare you accuse my husband of such a thing!” Laura yelled as she stepped in front of Nathan, preventing the

The warehouse explosions
Laura and Nathan sat at the intimate table, nestled in the corner of their favorite Italian bistro. The soft glow of candlelight reflected in Laura's eyes as she lifted her wine glass, toasting the man sitting across from her. He smiled, a smile that reached his eyes, and Laura's heart fluttered. “This is great,” Laura said, smiling calmly, looking at Nathan sitting across from her. She felt a sense of security. “Not what I planned. But I hope you like it,” Nathan whispered and took a sip of his wine. Laura glanced around the place and nodded.“It's fine…as long as you're here…everything is special,” she grabbed his hand on the table. Nathan stared at her for a while and smiled.“I promise to always be here…no matter what?” He said, hoping Laura would trust him since they have been married for a long time. Despite the disapproving whispers and raised eyebrows from others about their age difference, Nathan had promised to stand by Laura's side, no matter what.“We'll support each oth
Don't ruin the moment
Nathan's eyes narrowed into slits as Dean made his way around the table. The four men had left at Nathan's order. With graceful movements, Dean cheekily sat down and crossed his legs and slammed a file on the table. The entire time, Nathan was watching in anticipation. “You should why I'm here,” Dean said and lazily glanced up at Nathan. Of course, Nathan didn't know, and he didn't care. Both men were enemies. The fact that Dean dared to harass Laura made Nathan's expression darken.“This isn't the time or place…or are you here for more beatings,” Nathan retorted cheekily, and he saw Dean's eyes flash with rage but soon composed himself. “My dad doesn't know what he's done…very soon you'll lead this company to bankruptcy,” Dean remarked while tapping his fingers on the table. There was silence on Nathan's part, but soon his lips quivered upwards into a smirk. He adjusted comfortably in his chair and let out a chuckle.“It is too hard to accept…that your old man trusts me more than…y
Earn respect
Bernardo's eyes furrowed questionably as he read through the file his assistant delivered. With each turn of the page. Anger boiled within him. Of course, the only mistake he made. It was trusting someone to manage his affairs. And now he ripped the consequences. “How is that stubborn son of mine doing?” Bernardo asked lazily and slammed the file shut. Owen, who was standing to the sides, let out a sigh and responded.“He's doing the work himself… Mr Carter and his team refused to help out,” Owen remarked, and Bernardo's folded fist slammed heavily on the armrest. His eyes flashed with rage. “Why isn't he firing those incompetent idiots…he's the boss!” He made a low yell, wondering why Nathan was being so soft toward men who decided to go against him.“Well, sir… I think Mr. Dawson knows what he's doing… I sent someone to watch over him and well…” Owen explained but hesitated, and an angry Bernardo glared at him disdainfully. “Speak…”“Mr. Dawson is a hardworking man…seeing how ded
Wrapped around her fingers
Nathan's eyes rolled back feeling as if their leg had been reset or something. He couldn't feel it as the doctor bandaged him. On the other hand, he had to endure his wife's piercing gaze."Do you have to play hero all the time," Laura Laura with a frown and placed her hand on Nathan's shoulder. It was a good day until she received an emergency that Nathan was hurt. She rushed to the hospital only to hear what happened. "My employees okay…I need them," he said breathlessly and did all he could to keep still, the doctor glanced at him and then shook his head."What if you lost a leg or both…I don't think you would still be talking like this," Laura remarked disdainfully, earning a chuckle from Nathan. He grabbed her hand and made her sit on the bed beside him."My wife, I know you are concerned about me…but don't worry, your favorite part is…unharmed," Nathan whispered in Laura's ear making her cheeks turn red."Stop it," she smacked him on the chest shyly only for Nathan to laugh an
He can do the work
Nathan was not surprised by Carter's behavior. He expected as much. However, he didn't let it get to him. He was the boss hence he took matters into his own hands."Are you going to let them insult you," Robert said when Nathan was busy loading up the materials. After the men insulted him, Nathan didn't say a word but simply left and put on a new working suit."Some things are better left like that…I won't die, will I?" Nathan said breathlessly while picking up some bags of cement, Robert who was wiping sweat from his forehead frowned. The man was indeed a bull, so stubborn. From what he noticed, Nathan hated begging people. But Robert didn't see the reason why he decided to start working. "Well, those damned men are busy laughing…I'm sure this is a trap they set for you…they know you can't work alone," Robert remarked and started helping Nathan with everything. Nathan didn't reply to Robert's statement but concentrated on his work."At the end of the day…I'm the boss…aren't I?" Na
His wife is special
Nathan was agitated as he watched Laura clean his hands. She was not talking. He tried to start a conversation with her, but the woman was quiet.“He deserves it if anyone dares to insult my wife…they pay heavily,” Nathan said with a frown. He hated it when people said bad things about his wife.“Is that why you acted like a barbarian in front of the executives,” Laura asked and pressed on his injuries so hard that Nathan cried out in pain.“Woman!” He muttered, feeling the little sharp sting, Laura frowned even more and took clean cotton to clean out the blood.“Bernardo's men will hold this against you…they'll try certainly to find faults, and you just gave them an excuse to crucify you,” Laura remarked more seriously. She knew how those men were. They were thirsty for power. Bernardo handing everything to Nathan was a hard blow to their dignity. It was obvious they were investigating how to dethrone him.“I don't care, just know this,” Nathan whispered and reached for Laura's chin.
Evening party(part two)
Nathan was uncomfortable as Bernardo introduced him to his acquaintances. He didn't need such things. He was just an ordinary employee, so why was Bernardo making it into a big deal?“He's the future, I trust him,” Bernardo said with a smile while his friends clicked champagne glasses with Nathan. Of course, Nathan was more than confident. He was not going to fail Bernardo since he trusted him so much.“I heard a lot about the young man…how he managed to help lady Laura, it's truly an honor to meet you,” one of the men said to Nathan, Bernardo introduced him as a casino man. He was into the casino business. Nathan guessed as much. Such men were shrewd when it came to business. They knew how to keep their money.“How about you pass by my office, so we can talk about a few things or two… I would like to see the potential of this young,” an elderly one said, this one was into the wine business. He was old with white hair and wrinkles. But he was still energetic. One could tell from a dis
Evening party(part one)
“Madam, this looks good, take a look,” the sales lady said, handing Laura two more ties matching the navy-blue suit she picked out. “It's great, do you have more designs… Something unique and new,” Laura suggested, and put the necktie back on the table. The sales lady smiled warmly and gestured for the other female employees to bring more.“We have more in stock…these came in yesterday and the material is rich and comfortable,” the sales lady explained as she showed Laura more tuxedos and suits. Laura nodded while touching the clothes and had to say, the fabric was good.“This is a slim fit with a blazer…it can be worn in any weather,” the woman added while showing Laura more. By now, the entire private room was filled with new, expensive tuxedos and suits.“I like this one,” Laura raised a white one, it was pure white and lively. She scanned it carefully and knew Nathan would look good in it.“Pack 14 for me…seven tuxedos and seven suits,” Laura said while taking out her phone from
He's above all
Nathan and Robert reached the construction site, which was located on the outskirts of the city. The sun was at its full peak.Nathan stepped out of the car and put on his sunglasses and scanned the place.“So employees seemed to be slacking,” Robert said as soon as he joined Nathan, and both stood leaning against the car as they watched the building. Nathan was told about the magnificent building being constructed. According to Bernardo, it was the company's biggest project, which cost millions, if he wasn't mistaken.It wasn't a mall that Nathan saw. It was too gigantic to be a mall, he guessed a resort, but then again he dropped the idea.“Shall we have a look,” Nathan said, and proceeded down the path leading to what he guessed was the main entrance? Robert adjusted his specs and followed suit. Immediately, they were about to reach the entrance. Some men in work suits came out, Nathan Immediately came to a halt as he watched as the men lined up in front of him.“Good day, so you m
