The first thing Nathan did when morning came was fresh up, get ready and head out. After what he did with Laura. He was feeling guilty. The fact that he couldn't control his urges bothered him. Hence he took his truck and drove straight to the police stationHe had a few things to discuss with Carl. The two men were sitting in Carl's office as usual. "I can't do that… if none of the Larson family members filed for this then my hands are tied" Carl said sincerely. He was a man of the law. What Nathan told him made absolute sense unfortunately he couldn't just charge in and carry out an investigation"You are a cop… just make up something and do this investigation…I'm sure that explosion was deliberate," Nathan said feeling irritated, for a whole two days, he had been thinking. Putting things together and he came up with a conclusion. The explosion at the factory was planned. Carl stared at Nathan without blinking. The man seemed to be in a bad mood"And who do you think was the target
Francisco was someone Laura didn't talk about much, he was not just handsome but successful as well. He didn't have a family but only a little sister and a four-year-old daughter. She didn't want to go into details about his personal life. He was 45 years old. "You didn't tell me… at least I deserved an invitation, "Francisco said with a half smile, standing before Laura's bed, the man was good-looking. He wasn't some powerful CEO or anything but a man who had risen to the top with his hard work. He was calm and collected. Laura loved that about him. His personality was everything, no wonder he had a tail of women lining up just to be part of his life"I didn't think it was necessary," Laura remarked sincerely, it was true. She didn't owe him any explanation, especially what she did in her life. "I see, so does this mean our friendship is over," he said with narrowed eyes, Laura glanced up at him and saw sadness in his eyes. Of course, he had to show his unhappy face. "I'm sure you
"Has anyone told you… how handsome you are?""Umm, well…""How sexy and hot you are… ooh man I just wanna… just wanna…" the lady whispered while biting her lower lip seductively, Nathan cleared his throat awkwardly and ate his food"What? Are you shy huh… aww so cute" the lady added, nearly touching his face when Nathan shifted away from her. As if it wasn't enough that they hated him, another Larson had popped out of nowhere and was busy flirting with her"Ma'am… please I…""Sweetheart, do I look like a Ma'am to you? I'm a beautiful young elegant woman… tell me… what's your name?" the lady said with a frown and tried to feed him chips. Nathan swallowed hard and shifted away again. To be honest he didn't know how he woke up to this"I'm Nathan…Laura's husband, "Nathan said, emphasizing the husband's part. The lady frowned and rose from the chair."Whatever… I mean aren't you too young to be that granny's husband… or are you just blind," she said as if frustrated. Nathan knew the woma
"How did you meet her… how sure can I be that… you don't have bad intentions?"Francisco asked as soon as he got a chance to be alone with Nathan. Of course, Nathan was used to people questioning his relationship with Laura"People get married… I don't think anyone has the right… to say anything "Nathan replied turning to look at the man. He wasn't so pleased to see Francisco. Especially when he saw how free he was with Laura. Something didn't add up"You didn't answer my question, Mr Dawson… Laura is a good woman with a heart of gold… unfortunately when it comes to men… she tends to be a little naive" Francisco remarked as he walked to the table. Nathan was bothered by how free Francisco was to the wall around his office. It seemed he and Laura were so close that he could do whatever he wanted "That's none of your business… I'm sure we both know Laura is old enough to make her own decisions," Nathan said with a little irritation in his voice. He hated men who tried to involve thems
"Aunt, I don't see why you decided to get married," Mabel said while tapping her fingers around the crystal stem champagne flute. Her slender legs crossed gracefully as she sat across Laura. Both women knew when to get at each other's throats. Mabel was a spoiled girl, she wasn't born with a silver spoon but Stanley picked her up from some clubs where she was working as a waitress "You got married to uncle, isn't he too old for you?"Laura counted with a sarcastic smirk fixing her sharp eyes on Mabel. Of course, any slight topic about her marriage to Stan triggered some sensitive nerves. However, Laura didn't care. It was the weekend, she was taking a day off by staying at home"But don't you think he's too young for you… I mean by the time you get to 50 and have wrinkles… Nathan will be a young man, even more handsome," Mabel said after taking a sip of her drink. Licked her red-coloured lips and placed the flute on the side tableHer shrewd gaze fell on Laura and yes, the words hit l
Nathan didn't think Sharing a bed with Laura was a good idea. They were married based on a contract. Over the past few days, Nathan had been thinking about the reason why Laura married himShe must have suspected people exploiting her company. What bothered him greatly was that she was aware of the vultures. Jeremy was on the first list. He was doing some illegal things and using the company as a scapegoat Sooner or later Jeremy was bound to put the company in trouble, Laura might likely go to jail. Nathan tossed and turned looking for a comfortable position The bed was soft and warm, however, he couldn't find any sleep. Laying on his back, Nathan draped his arm beneath his head for support and stared at the dark ceiling. Glancing to his left side. The woman was facing the other way and probably sleeping..who knew sleeping outside the balcony was more comfortable than Laura's bed"Is….my bed that uncomfortable?" came Laura's sleepy voice. Nathan was startled as he tilted his head
"This man here is a criminal, why would you allow him to marry into your family?"Jared the old man said disdainfully, Nathan knew Jared was trying to put on an innocent front. Jared Castillo was a drug trafficker. Nathan had to find that out the hard way"You don't have to say anything, this man tricked my daughter into marriage…"Elizabeth said glaring at Nathan, Jeremy frowned and stepped forward "Jared you don't have to worry… this man is the Larson family's useless son-in-law… he mops floors and cleans our house," Jeremy remarked standing face to face with Nathan. It was amusing how Jeremy was old enough to live on his own but was still under his sister's wings"Then we better talk business, I have such a good business proposal for Laura," Jared said, turning away from Nathan. Elizabeth smirked and nodded"Then let's not spoil our mood with useless people… please come to the living room," Elizabeth said gesturing for Jared to follow her to the lounge"Come Jared… it's getting

He was knowledgeable but it didn't hurt to learn a few thingsOn the other hand, Carl had gotten to his room where he was staying. Alth
