"Just go already… I mean it's your first party" Carl said and handed Nathan a cup of coffee. It was getting late and Nathan has had some time to see CarlHe didn't want to attend a party. When Laura and he visited his mom's house. He told Laura he had some work to attend toLaura had home back home to arrange her party and he came to see Carl at the police station"I'm not interested"Nathan simply said and sipped on his black coffee. Carl sat in his chair gracefully. His eyes fixed on Nathan"You know… sometimes I wonder what's wrong with you," Carl said, shaking his head. He had known Nathan for a while now. They met the last time he caused a brawl at the bar and ended up beating half the drunk men thereNathan was a violent man. He solved his problems by using his fists"What's wrong is me… posing as a man married to a woman" his mom was right. He sold himself to a woman. "Laura isn't a bad woman… she yes appears scary and arrogant… but try knowing her on a personal level"Carl just
"What are you doing?"Laura asked angrily as soon as she dragged Nathan to somewhere isolated. She asked him to attend the party, not as a servant"What… does it bother you?"Nathan asked nonchalantly. He did all this to prove Elizabeth wrong..his mother-in-law thought he married Laura for her money. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case"Serving guests…are you insane or just trying to make fun of me"Laura was beyond irritated. how dare Nathan lower himself to such a level..he was Laura's husband, not a waiter or a Butler"Sweet wife.. are you ashamed of me… wasn't this how you found me?"Nathan asked and slowly wiggled his hand out of Laura's hold. Only then did Laura realize she had been holding Nathan's hand the entire time"It's inappropriate for you to be serving my guests… what will the company employees think of you," Laura said, averting her eyes from him. She expected him to be better than this. "I don't mind serving… work is done better if one does it themselves… plus we are sav
"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
