She was a bad omen for him"That woman will pay for this," he tried shifting, but unfortunately his back stung. Even moving seemed like a problem. He just hoped his face was still intact. Those men did more damage than goodGrabbing the phone from under the pillows he turned on the camera and raised it so it could act as a mirror"Dammit," he mumbled scanning himself, lowering the phone he was about to get out of bed when the door opened and Laura walked in holding a tray,"I see you are awake," the woman said cheerfully as she walked toward him.

To her allowing a man to have her was something she didn't planHowever, with Nathan touching her in places which made her ache, she found herself responding. Responding to his kisses, his touches. Laura didn't realize she was beneath Nathan completely nude. Exposed before him for the second time, he too was naked. Roaming his hands around her luscious body, needing her soft flesh"Nate," a low hiss came from Laura as she arched her back in coiling need. The fire burning within her was insatiable. Her toes curled when he left her mouth and ravished her neck, trailing wet kisses down her throat until he reached her collarbone. Low groans escaped Nathan's throat as his hands worked down her belly"Ahh," it was too much for laura. Every time he touched her, she begged for more.

The curtains of the room blew back and forth causing a chilly breeze to seep through. Laura wrapped in Nathan's embrace stirred in her sleep. Mumbling gibberish as she dragged her legs up trying to find some warmth"Mm," she snuggled even more to Nathan, her cold lips connected with his chest making Nathan r too. His long legs entangled with Laura's legs while his arms circled pressing her to him"So good," Laura mumbled and her eyes flickered open, she only saw blurry images hence rubbed her eyes a little and tried to move when the realization hit her.

The warehouse explosions
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
Don't ruin the moment
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
Earn respect
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
Wrapped around her fingers
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
Evening party(part one)
“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
He's above all
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
