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
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
“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 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
Laura was going crazy, and Nathan was taken to the police station. She already called Alejandro and Robert. She even called her old family lawyer to deal with the matterShe couldn't stand seeing Nathan in prison. His family were in tears, especially Claire “He's innocent…my son would never do anything like that,” Claire said in between sobs, her poor son always found himself in trouble one way or the other. She just wanted him to be at peace without any trouble“Mom, he'll be fine… I know he's innocent,” Adeline said, and the two hugged. They came to the station, but the inspector forbade them from seeing Nathan. They begged and pleaded with him, unfortunately, they were not allowed to see him. Laura and the lawyer just left to talk to the judge and see if they could sort the matter out“I tried calling Carl, but he isn't answering,” Zoey said as soon as she joined them. The entire time, she was trying to call Carl. He was the only one to help them get Nathan out of jail. Unfortunat
Meanwhile, Claire had just reached her destination, the night was dark and cold…adjusting the scarf around her shoulders. She turned to the taxi driver and handed him some cash“Here, you can wait for me if you like… if not, you can go,” she said politely and the driver took the money from her“Sure, do you live here…such a beautiful house,” the man said, but Claire ignored him and glanced at the mansion before her. It was lit brightly, such a mesmerizing scenery. Claire made her way toward the gate. She wanted to see the owner one way or the otherClaire picked up a stone she bumped into and used it to knock at the gate. This wasn't a friendly visit. She came for something important. There was no answer; hence she continued banging on the gate, the deafening sound would make the person she wanted to see come out“Bernardo get out here!” She shouted, while hitting the stone against the gate, shortly after. The gate opened, and a few security men ran out to see what was going on“Who
“You'll be fine,” Laura whispered and held Nathan's hand. She just got him out of jail, and that police detective wanted to refuse to get him out on bail. Laura had threatened him to release Nathan, or he was going to lose his jobLuckily Carl got a call from Robert and explained everything, shortly after, they caught the man who was responsible for everything “You didn't have to bother,” Nathan said softly, he knew Robert and Alejandro together with Carl had everything under control. The culprit had to be caught. Unfortunately, Nathan did not expect the man to admit he wasn't sent by anyone, but he did it because he hated Nathan“He'll rot in hell… I'll make sure he dies,” Laura remarked bitterly, Nathan was surprised how she was angry, something about her was indeed different “It's okay, be calm now,” Nathan coaxed, she was stressing for nothing. Laura glared at him just as they reached home. It had been a long day, it was nearly past midnight. Laura thought she could throw a nice
