"Who does he think he is… what a good for nothing man… the dress she's wearing is worth his life""I don't understand why Laura had to hire such a man… so despicable""What can you say about yourself… Laura this man is incompetent" the woman said bitterly turning to Laura. The entire room was heavy, Laura made Nathan rise to his feet. Why was he like this? Bowing to people when he was better than himThe fact that he didn't fight back or say anything baffled her"You have no right to say such things later to have the guts to make him kneel before a disgusting woman like yourself"Laura lost it. She didn't care what the rest said"Laura please calm down," Elizabeth said, coming in between the two women. There was a fire burning between Laura and her friend rose."Now… is this what I deserve huh?" the woman said, pointing her index finger at Laura. By now murmurs had risen in the room"Mom, stay out of this…who do you think you are to talk to my husband like that!"Laura hushed her mom an
Nathan was standing in the middle of the room, his new office. He didn't like taking shortcuts to have what he wantedUnfortunately here he was, he didn't understand how Laura would trust him just like that.He was still worried about getting such a position without doing anything. Just when he was about to sit down and look at work. The door burst open and an unexpected person walked right inTurning around, Nathan's brows arched upwards"Did the MD suddenly decide to pay me a visit?" he remarked crossing his arms over his chests"Cut the crap.. what did you do huh.. so cheap of you," Mark said glaring at Nathan..both men stood face to face, one with a cold expression and the other with a disdainful one. Of course, Nathan was the latter. He didn't understand Mark at all."It seems luck always follows me around" Nathan scoffed smirking at his rival..it wasn't old news that Mark Kim always chose shortcuts to earn his merits. Now Nathan was curious to know if he truly deserved his posit
Laura was the first one to shower after having dinner. Having a lot of paperworkShe decided to do them at home. Sometimes her family posed to be a pain in the neck. However with Nathan handling some of her affairs. The night was cold due to the heavy rains outside Laura already shut the windows and closed the balcony doorsGlancing towards the bathroom door, Nathan was taking a shower before going to bedShe was still not sure if letting him sleep outside the balcony was okaySomething had been bothering her since. Keeping her eyes on the computer screen. Time passed by and soon the door creaked open. She didn't have to look up to know Nathan was doneThe scent of his bath soap hit her nostrils. She failed to understand why she liked how he smelled..it was strange but Nathan had a good choice when it came to his perfumes, a different kind which was intoxicating Glancing up to stretch her neck. Laura quickly lowered her head when she met with a half-naked Nathan standing in front o
Laura stirred in her sleep, she had never felt so relaxed before. The pillow she was resting her head on was soft and warm. Snuggling to it, she just wanted to sleep more."Mmm" she felt at peace, for the first time she wanted to stay in bed until the feeling, however, something didn't feel right, slowly lifted her head. Her eyes flickered open, she could only see white at first, blinking a few times. Laura rubbed her eyes gently, lifting her eyelashes. She saw it was bright in the room"Good morning" she heard a familiar male say in a sleepy voice. Before she could register what was happening to her. Laura froze, her body stiffened when a pair of strong hands held her by the shoulders and pulled her upBy now she was half sleeping on a man, not just any man, but"No" the words left her lips, and her eyes widened in shock. Closing her eyes few words left"This is a dream," she muttered, swallowing hard. How was she on top of Nathan? Her hands rested on his chest, slowly she felt large
Carl was asked to wait downstairs by Laura. This was her family matter. She hated the idea of letting outsiders get involved in her family affairsOf course, Nathan was surprised by how Camila was changing statements. Clearly, she said he stole her jewelry at the party. But she soon changed and said he entered her room and stole it from her cupboard"Sis..how could you"Camila was in tears when Laura slapped her across the face. Even Elizabeth was startled at the impact"Accusing my husband… you have the nerves!"Laura spat out angrily. Her eyes shone with rage. Elizabeth held Camila who fought to get her phone"I'll show it.. this man is a thief. you can hit me all you want"Camila was desperate as she held her phone with trembling hands. Nathan's eyes narrowed suspiciously seeing what was happeningHe didn't expect Carl to show up like thatNathan was thinking. Camila was accusing him of stealing expensive jewelry. He didn't remember touching any of her thingsThe family had invaded La
"Don't you have any power to do work on your own?"Nathan asked sarcastically and took a seat opposite Carl. He was good for nothing"Your point?"Carl asked and continued his work. He only did what Larson's second daughter asked"Are you a fool huh?" it was hard to explain when Carl came to the Larson house to arrest him"Call me whatever you like…"Carl was irritated...he was only doing what was right. Camilla Larson came to the police and accused Nathan of having stolen some. Of course, he didn't believe it, unfortunately, Camila threatened him"Anyway that's not why I came here," Nathan said, waving his hand in the air. Adjusting in his chair. Nathan fixed his gaze on Carl. The two men were in Carl's office"And what could that be?"Carl asked. He knew Nathan was now married to Laura unfortunately he was still the same man. His sisters and mother didn't want anything to do with him anymore. "What did you mean when you said the Larson family is in chaos?"Nathan asked seriously. He wan
Nathan was surprised how the lady didn't stop touching him, the fact that Laura was only smiling bothered him greatlyTo make matters worse he was dragged to some fancy five-star restaurant."So you two owe me lunch… in fact, you owe me your entire lives 'the lady said in between bites. She was a jovial kind. Beautiful and elegant. She said so much in a second that Nathan didn't know what to do. Glancing at Laura, she was just smiling as she ate her food"So…tell me when did you two meet… What's your love story?"Isa asked, pausing to look at Nathan and Laura. She believed her friend was in love with the young man for her to marry him on short notice"Isa…well… let's leave that for some other time…let's enjoy lunch instead, "Laura said hesitantly, she forgot to inform Larissa about her plans. And now her friend was talking anyhow"She won't tell me… Nate… can I call you Nate" Isa said with an eye roll and turned to Nathan. The young man was quite shy. She didn't know of any man who wou
Nathan had a fair share of the powerful old men in Houston. Bernardo Harrison was one of those rich men, he was shrewd and someone who liked marrying young women despite his old age. The man was filthy rich one would sayIt was questionable that he married Larissa for so long, however, Nathan knew the lady very well. He was surprised to see that she didn't recognize him after what happened in the past. Not like he slept with her, but the fact that he and Carl has had an affair for a while now'`Do you want to get killed?''Nathan asked, narrowing his eyes suspiciously. If Carlo was tired of living then he better stay away from Larissa"Why? Is it a crime… why should I listen to you" Carl said arching his brows at Nathan..he could act all righteous as he wanted. But Carl wasn't going to ignore his desires just because"He'll have you killed dammit… that woman is in Bernardo's clutches," Nathan said angrily, ``Carl was acting stubborn for no reason " if he finds out the chief of police i
