2024-10-29 19:42:56Nathan's eyes narrowed, and his expression darkened. He presumed it was another day
Unlike most times. Carl didn't dare release him. He stayed in the cell the entire night. Who knew what his family was going through in his absenceHe didn't trust those people one bit"T-tell me…how is Mom…did something happen…tell me, "Nathan said calmly, gripping the metal bars tightly. He was desperate to know. Carl was hesitant to say anything which bothered him greatly"You should ask forgiveness the minute lady Laura steps her feet here, "Carl remarked, glancing up at Nathan. The only way for him to know if his family was okay… was by getting out"That's not my concern damn it…how is Mom…my sisters …did…"Nathan was desperate to know how his mom was doing."She's not well… your mom and your sisters…came last night," Carl said lowering his gaze, Nathan's eyes widened. His heart raced"Then does…""It's all over the news okay…I warned you to mind whom you pick a fight with…Lady Laura pressed charges against you the moment she regained consciousness" Carl said before Nathan could say anything. The young man was stubborn. In all of Huston, Nathan was the most stubborn bull he had ever seen. "This can't be…why the fuck didn't you let me see her!"Nathan growled nearly hitting Carl, however, the bars keeping him in wouldn't let him. Carl stepped back. He had no choice. Lady Laura gave strict orders not to let anyone see Nathan"I took her home…she had a relapse…please ask forgiveness from lady Laura and leave from here," Carl remarked calmly. He understood the young man's hostility. His rage was justified however he needed to understand. Nothing was solved by violence. "Never…that woman does not deserve an ounce of my apology, "Nathan said coldly, he didn't like bowing to a woman. A woman like Laura disgusted him"Then shall we…fix this the hard way" came a small melodious, pleasant voice. Nathan and Carl turned at the same time only to see an elegant woman. Nathan thought he was seeing another woman. However, her voice said it all. No matter how much she hid her ugly face in layers of makeup. She was a black witch. With fangs and dark magic"Lady Laura…greetings," Carl said with a slight bow, acknowledging Laura's presence. The lady gave him a half glance then stood in front of the metal bars. Carl was stunned seeing the lady. She was elegant, beautiful, and nothing like her age.He always wondered why men went crazy seeing her. However, now he understood. She was the true definition of a goddess. She was wearing a print long sleeve tie work elegant, champagne dress, which stuck to her hourglass body. Her hair fell into waves to her waist. Laura was nothing but a beauty sensation. From her posture to her voice. She was indeed beautiful brunette"What is this witch doing here… let me out or else"Nathan snarled. His cold eyes shifted to the lady before him. There was nothing special about her. If not for money she would be another ugly old woman on the street"Chief of police…I'm indeed disappointed in you" Laura said, holding her purse gracefully. Her hand hung forward showing off her manicured hands. So smooth and clean"L-lady Laura…I dare not…I kept""He still can run his mouth anyhow…it means he… wasn't punished accordingly"Laura cut him off and turned her attention to Nathan. The young man, so wild and interesting… Laura didn't know why he was so hostile"He nearly killed me…a man who dares lay his hands on a woman…is not a man, "Laura remarked lazily, her lips curled upwards in a mocking smirk. Nathan was keeping quiet not because he feared her but because he didn't want to disappoint Carl. However, "I respect women… unfortunately some women I despise…women like yourself, "Nathan said bitterly. His expression held disgust and all of it directed at the vile woman before him. Laura gave a soft chuckle. Placing her hand on her mouth. She suppressed sarcastic laughter. "I see… chief of police, the torturing room…seems quiet… no screams, "Laura said, turning to look at Carl. Nathan was disappointed to see Carl acting like an obedient child. Carl nodded lowering his head even more"Ahh…my bad…I'm sure cobwebs have taken root…how about we make use of it…now"Laura lamented turning back to Nathan. She ignored his angry stare"Get your men, now!" her voice turned stern, and her expression morphed into a dark one as she fixed her cat-like eyes on Nathan. He could still stand. Run his mouth anyhow"Y-yes… my lady," Carl said and gestured for the other officers to come closer."Take his clothes off"Laura gave her orders and stepped backward. Nathan didn't tear his gaze from the woman. Both were arrogant as they went into a never-ending staring contest. Neither wanted to lose. Both determined to show superiority"Who do you think you are…do you think punishment will stop me"Nathan grumbled as soon as the barred door was opened and the officers cuffed him"You can talk…make sure by the time you are done…he doesn't run his mouth anyhow…he needs to know who's in charge, "Laura remarked keeping her eyes on the man. He was handsome yet arrogant. Did he know the city or what? Hasn't he heard of her "it's a police station… he committed a crime…why is he looking like some king and this is his palace"Laura scoffed disdainfully, wondering why the young man was arrogant despite being in a prison cell. It seemed these peasants had become fearless. They begged her for alms. She fed them and now, the same people were busy insulting herCarl carried out Laura's orders. Nathan was dragged to the flogging room. Dark and wet, the smell of old rust and dried up blood lingered in the air. Nathan knew the floor was mixed in water and blood from the victims tortured before"Chain him"Carl gave the orders. And the officers obeyed. The entire time Nathan didn't protest. His sharp eyes fixed on the woman now sitting down with her legs crossed elegantly. Such arrogance in a woman wasn't needed"Good…I'm bored…make sure you use…something lethal"Laura said standing up. Smiling, she proceeded to where the young man was tied. His arms above his head and standing center of the vast room. There was no lighting, no windows to give light. It was slightly dark "Here…use this' ' Carl handed his baton to the warder. Nathan stayed put. Now reduced to nothing. He was stripped of his jeans and t-shirt. He was only in his briefs. Before a random woman. He was left naked. She was so shameless as to look at him"Chief of police"Laura called out to Carl and he turned around immediately"Lady Laura" Carl muttered and waited for the lady to give her orders"I have something else," she said, digging in her purse. Nathan watched with vivid eyes. Nothing scared him..no amount of torture was new to him. The woman was wasting her time. However when she took out something familiar from her purse. Even Carl was startled"Familiar isn't it…this is a hunting whip…I want you…to use this"Laura said handing the very same whip the young man came with to her office.

His eyes narrowed suspiciously"I saved you, Nathan… I shut those old men up with just the snap of my fingers" Laura said, snapping her fingers. Nathan glanced up and met with the lady's mocking gaze. Shifting from side to side. Laura smirked pridefully"Is this how you trap all men… everyone knows what you do… marry men they die… or are you bored of old men and want fresh blood?

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

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

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

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

“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

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
