Laura Had never seen such aggression from a man. Certainly not in her presence. Such disrespect from a random good-for-nothing little boy
"Stop him now!"The d men around who couldn't fight him off shouted for the countless security guards who rushed in to stop the man"You think I'm scared of a witch like you!"The man growled snapping the dangerous whip in his hand like it were nothing..Laura retreated to a corner, shielding her face with her hands "Today. I show you not to toy with people!"Nathan snarled, striking the flexible line on the table hard. The men and women scattered. The black hunting whip combined had a stock with a firm flexible lash. Deadly at best. With each stroke on the table, the men shivered. was he crazy as to beat a woman?How crazy!The monstrous young man taking predatory steps toward their boss"We'll see bitch…how dare you try to take our homes!"Nathan roared. His body hitched muscularly. Laura swallowed hard. Her back connected with the cold wall, and a shiver rushed through her. For the first time, someone dared to defy her rules. She never knew there existed a man who could stand in her presence and insult her, let alone threaten her"Get out…this is my property and you are trespassing "Laura warned. Keeping her distant. She had nowhere to run to. All her security guards had been beaten black and blue by the young man and lying on the floor."Those houses belong to us…how dare you try to steal from us, "Nathan said, advancing towards the witch, she thought asking her lap dogs to attack him would work"Touch me…and you'll rot in jail," Laura said. She didn't have to fear. The company belonged to her. It was her property and world..any man who dared to defy her rules had to suffer. Straightening her back gracefully. Laura came face to face with the brown-haired man. His face contorted with rage, and his body was hunched and intimidating. However, she didn't fear"For a witch, you think showing your little power will save you," Nathan remarked disdainfully. He came to see the woman who was causing his family harm. The woman who gave orders to ruin his family and standing before him was that woman"What does a filthy man like you want…that land is mine…you better pack up or…I'll Bulldoze your pathetic…"Laura snapped, however, she didn't even finish her sentence when the man grabbed her by the neck"Bitch…I'll kill you," Nathan lost it and pressed Laura's neck angrily. Screaming and kicking didn't help Laura as she coughed. Tugged at the man's hands "What are you waiting for…call the police "the men rushed to stop Nathan from killing their boss. No matter how many there were. Nathan shrugged them off. His hands tightened around Laura's neck, squeezing the life out of her"Ahh… s- stop him"tears flooded in Laura's eyes as she fought to free herself. Her body was in agonizing pain. The need to escape was imperative however, she couldn't..she saw life flash before her eyes. Her body was getting weaker by the second. Her lungs were deprived of oxygen "You'll pay…for touching my family "Nathan was angry. Even when the police rushed in and used force to pry him off the lady. Neither succeeded "Nathan, stop it now!"Carl shouted seeing how Nathan was about to I'll a woman. He was never like this"Le…let gonna then shoved Carl away. His focus was fixed on killing the vile woman before him. Laura had lost consciousness but even so, Nathan didn't stop until Carl used his police baton to hit Nathan's legs several times until he let go of Laura "Call the ambulance…she isn't doing well!" one of the boards shouted and caught Laura before she hit the floor."Let me go, damn it!"Nathan snarled when several policemen held him back."Damn you Nate"An angry Carl glared at Nathan. "Take him away and lock him up" Carl gave his orders and Nathan scoffed and the policemen dragged him out of the conference room"Make sure he doesn't get out for this…he should be punished, "said one of the board members. Carl nodded and bowed in respect and walked close to the woman Nathan nearly killed"She's alive…the ambulance is on the way," Carl said, not sure why Nathan loved causing trouble. Now he dug his own grave because immediately the lady regained consciousness. She was likely to sue him for a murder attempt, and trespassing on private property. Nathan was as good as dead. This time he stepped on a tigress's tail and he was likely to pay a heavy price for it.***
Hours later of spending time at the hospital where Laura was admitted. Carl rushed down to the station. His anger was something he had tried to suppress, he asked his colleagues to make sure Nathan was punished heavily for what he did. It wasn't the first time he acted like an animal. "Any news?" Carl asked as soon as he entered his office. As the chief of police, he had a lot on his plate. Nathan was just an addition to his work"We gave him more than a hundred strokes…he's as stubborn as a bull," the officer said shaking his head in disbelief. He and his men had chained up Nathan. Used the most feared weapon the police had on him. However, the man was still on his feet. "He's stubborn alright…take care of things…I'll see him," Carl said with a long exhale. He left the office and proceeded down the cells. Nathan was stubborn. He acted recklessly. The police station wasn't new to him. But it was high time he put some sense into him"So now you are here," Nathan said getting up from the bench as soon as carl showed up. For someone would be punished. Nathan was a strong son of a bitch"Please stop this…you went too far," Carl said ignoring Nathan's sarcasm "Well well…look who we have here…the wealth people's lap dog, the COP himself," Nathan said searching, scanning Carl from head to toe. Carl sighed. This wasn't working. Nathan was difficult to deal with. He never reasoned with anyone "How could you after everything I said!""It's a shame… that bitch is still alive…damn her"Nathan muttered gripping the metal bars tightly "She's coming for you…she's a million times more horrible than you," Carl remarked cutting Nathan short"If you use fists…she uses money and her power… if you think you'll escape this…dream on" Carl made it clear and Nathan didn't utter a word. He had to listen somehow. The woman he attacked was Laura Larson, her family was well known. The black window herself. She wasn't to be taken lightly...Nathan's eyes narrowed as he stood there, thinking.Nathan's eyes narrowed, and his expression darkened. He presumed it was another dayUnlike most times. Carl didn't dare release him. He stayed in the cell the entire night. Who knew what his family was going through in his absenceHe didn't trust those people one bit"T-tell me…how is Mom…did something happen…tell me, "Nathan said calmly, gripping the metal bars tightly. He was desperate to know. Carl was hesitant to say anything which bothered him greatly"You should ask forgiveness the minute lady Laura steps her feet here, "Carl remarked, glancing up at Nathan. The only way for him to know if his family was okay… was by getting out"That's not my concern damn it…how is Mom…my sisters …did…"Nathan was desperate to know how his mom was doing."She's not well… your mom and your sisters…came last night," Carl said lowering his gaze, Nathan's eyes widened. His heart raced"Then does…""It's all over the news okay…I warned you to mind whom you pick a fight with…Lady Laura pressed charges
"You dare!"Nathan growled and struggled to free his hands. His eyes shot with venom seeing how the woman was getting on his nerves. Seeing this Laura smirked."Flog him… break his bones…make sure he bleeds to death…if not then…all of you will suffer?" like a queen Laura gave her final word. Carl nodded and took the whip himself. Standing before a raging Nathan. He knew this was for the best...lady Laura had the final sayNathan didn't argue. His sharp eyes fixed on Laura sitting on the chair again. If looks could kill then Carl was certain the lady would have died. Nathan had never laid his hands on a woman beforeWho knew what he was thinking when he nearly killed LauraWith each strike, the pain burned in his mind before it was even over. Nathan stood still. His hands restrained. The sound each time it landed on his back felt like the plank was being hit against the wall. Tearing across his back as blood trickled downNathan stayed put, his eyes turning red with each strike. Carl st
"What! Laura, are you insane!" As expected her family was shocked to hear what she had to say. Laura sat elegantly with her eyes fixed on her laptop screen. Her dear mother, little sister, and little brother stood before her. Shocked with the latest news she just gave them"Sis… what's all this''Jeremy, her 30 years old brother said giving her a suspicious look. Laura exhaled heavily and shoved the laptop off her lap. "You can't be serious Laura… marriage? It sounds ridiculous" this time it was her little sister Camila who said. Laura scanned her family from head to toe. The only one missing was Trent. Her dear uncle"We talked about this… are you going to bring another man here… oh goodness wake up Laura!" her mother said dramatically. Laura didn't mind as she listened to their opinions. She just told them about her soon-to-be wedding. Yes, she was getting a husband for herself. Smiling at them Laura picked up a glass of juice and took a sip. "Since when did your opinion matter?"
"Hold still damn it"Carl snarled when Nathan didn't sit still but kept moving and throwing tantrums. Of course, Nathan was bound to be angryThe wounds on his back were nothing compared to what lady Laura did. She trampled over his dignity and pride as a man"That witch is asking for it… don't blame me later" if she wanted, she could ruin the world for all she cared. "Stop it okay… this is nothing compared to what she can do… Nate for once stop being stubborn"Carl tried to reason with Nathan. He was as stubborn as hell. "Do you think I'm a toy… what sort of rubbish, if you are her lap dog I'm not"Nathan snapped, he hated that woman and after what she said to him. His hatred for her was even stronger"Is this about the marriage proposal… Why not agree to it? "Carl said and patched up Nathan's back? He would be in pain for a few days. The wounds were deep however Nathan didn't seem to mind"Are you insane… do I look desperate"Nathan now knew Carl was a confused man. How could he say s
"Mom… you don't have to do this okay?"Nathan said, scratching the back of his head. It was another day. He didn't sleep as lovely as he normally did and it was all thanks to lady Laura"I would have loved to give it to her myself… unfortunately the doctor said I need to rest, "his mom said innocently. Nathan was trapped. He woke up early so he could do some work. But now his mom was giving him things to do"She's not a good woman… Why did you trouble yourself… keep this food and flowers here" Nathan said and prepared to leave when his mom stopped him. Turning around Nathan was helpless"Nate… lady Laura is a good woman… she pardoned us… she didn't take our home okay," his mom said cheerfully. Nathan hated to say no to her. However, he was in a hurry to meet one of his friends. The day was crispy. After so much drama, he wanted to loosen up"I don't think so… mom just don't ask me this"Nathan said running his fingers in his hair. His mom was asking him to take the special food she prep
"Why do I feel like… you are that witch…who doesn't want young men to live?"Nathan asked sarcastically, Laura scoffed and shoved a black file at him. Nathan scanned it with vivid eyes. How did he get himself in such a messOf all men in the world, the witch targeted him"Look here… the scene with Harris and Carter… have you forgotten?"Laura said, getting up from her chair. Crossing his legs, Nathan picked up the file "they want to sue you… make you rot in prison" Laura added and half sat on the desk. Nathan flipped the pages from the fail. His eyes narrowed suspiciously"I saved you, Nathan… I shut those old men up with just the snap of my fingers" Laura said, snapping her fingers. Nathan glanced up and met with the lady's mocking gaze. Shifting from side to side. Laura smirked pridefully"Is this how you trap all men… everyone knows what you do… marry men they die… or are you bored of old men and want fresh blood? "Nathan said, glaring at her. Laura let out a mocking chuckle and clim
The Larson family was getting ready to meet the man Laura said she was going to marry.Jeremy was agitated as he paced around in his room. The entire week he had been wondering. Putting little pieces together to solve the puzzle"Could it be… that old fool!"Jeremy muttered, clenching his hands tightly. He didn't know who his sister was marrying this time. She was better off alone. These men she wanted were only after her moneyThinking up here. Jeremy would wait to meet the man. Dinner has been prepared. Leaving his room, he met Camila on his way downstairs"Bro let's just hope it's that old fool," Camila said as they walked towards the stairs. She wasn't going to allow some other men to take advantage of her sister. Laura may be older and more knowledgeable, however, when it came to men she was naive"Let's hope…where's mom?"Jeremy asked wondering if his mom managed to get the money back from her club"Already downstairs… supervising… it's a shame… the so-called son-in-law won't joi
Nathan didn't bother about the stares he was getting. For one thingThe food didn't taste as good as his mom's food. The chicken was undercooked. Nothing tasted better. He was having trouble eating, secondly the people sitting with him. Didn't stop staring at him as if it was a show."What do you do for a living?"Elizabeth was the first one to fire the question. With ease, Nathan glanced up at his soon-to-be mother-in-law. They look like drilled holes. With a smile, Nathan cleared his throat"He's an engineer… talented and brilliant"Laura answered before Nathan could. The entire family shifted their gaze from Laura to Nathan"His family background… When did you meet him and how… what's his net worth" it was Jeremy who chimed in gawking at Nathan. The look he received from Laura was enough to shut him up"Jeremy, that's not necessary… all you have to know is that… Nathan will be part of our family soon" Laura said with a smile and unexpectedly grabbed Nathan's hand as he rested on the
