Mike traced his way to Nathan's apartment and when he got to the living room, Nathan was sprawled on the carpet, watching a movie. Before Mike arrived, Nathan had freshened up and had denied his chef's offer to prepare lunch because he was too pissed. Mike settled on the twin couch opposite Nathan. Nathan picked up the remote and turned off the television. He turned to Mike with a sigh. “You should have seen the way those guys messed up my apartment.”“Why the hell is Kelvin on your tail anyway? I understand if he is up against you as Alex but as Nathan, I don’t just get it.” Mike said and shook his head.“Avery Jacobs whom he is so into turned down their proposed marriage alliance. Avery and I are friends in school and anytime Kelvin sees us together, he feels like going insane.” Nathan replied.Mike clenched his jaw. “I see.”Nathan continued. “So during our reunion party, he tried to harass her, and I ended up punching him in the face.”Mike shook his head. “I see more reasons wh
Kelvin walked into the living room and saw his father seated on the largest couch. It was evident that Fredrick had been waiting for his son’s arrival.“Where have you been?”Kelvin sat right next to his father. “I needed to take care of something.”“Whatever that was, I don’t care. I want you to know that it's time. It's time to take action against Alex Alcantara.” Fredrick declared.Kelvin had a bright smile. He knew his father had been working hard towards ensuring that they hit their target and now, he could guess that the long-term plan had finally materialized.“Tell me all about it, Dad,”Fredrick gave an impish grin and reclined on the couch. “There are going to be a lot of changes at the Rockville festival tomorrow.”Kelvin hummed and blinked at his father. “The kind of change we expect I guess.”Fredrick broke into a dry laugh. “I’ve been working with Don Fernando and other guys and right now, we are ready to launch our plan.”Kelvin was staring at his father with a proud lo
The staff in the mall began to troop toward Nathan in their bid to offer the Alcantara heir the best service.A petite rushed toward him wheeling the shopping cart while other staff stood before him with bright smiles.“You can give me the list of the items you need Mr. Alcantara.” One of the staff offered to shop for Nathan.“I’ll lead you to the manager’s office. Once the items are ready, I will deliver them to you.” Another staff stepped outNathan was stunned and for a moment he was completely rendered speechless. Is that what elites face in the mall? He wondered, rolling his eyes around the crowd of staff forming around him. He was grateful at that point that he came to the mall as Alex Alcantara else he might never have gotten the chance to experience such preferential treatment.“You all should carry on with your work and pretend that I’m here. I’ll help myself.” Nathan told them.
“Is everything set?” Dory asked her assistant who was hurrying after her.They got into the elevator.She had left the event hall a few minutes ago to check on the guys at the entrance. She had ensured the team she arranged to welcome Alex Alcnatara was at their post at the reception.“I want everything to be perfect.” Dory maintained and wiped the sweat that had teamed up on her forehead with the edge of her left palm.They stepped out of the elevator after they reached the 5th floor. Dory hurried out while her assistant was hurrying after her, trying to catch up with her pace. “I think all the distinguished guests have arrived. The host is also on stage.”“Good,” Dory replied and barged into her office. “Go back to the hall and ensure everything goes according to plan. I will change and show up shortly.”The assistant left and Dory slammed her door. Shegrabbed her large bag
Dory was lost, trying to comprehend the fact that Alex Alcantara had walked past her.Nathan made his way to the group waiting to greet him. The ladies presented the bouquet to him. Dory watched Nathan bow his head while George placed a garland around his neck.Jackson took the lead ensuring no one stood in Nathan's way. The group followed leaving behind the stunned Dory. She turned to Mike with confusion spread across her face.Mike sighed and whispered. “Don’t push it. I'll advise that you act cool.” He then made his way inside.Dory cleared her throat loudly and hurried after the group. Whatever narrative Nathan Smith gave the Alcantara heir about her, she was determined to change that by the time the anniversary party ends.Nathan was led into the hall. Immediately after he stepped inside the multipurpose hall, the audience gave him a standing ovation. They sat when he was settled on the sofa reserved for him in the VIP section in
Larry began to wheel the car toward Nathan's mansion with Mike and the other escort vehicles following closely behind. They got to the mansion and Nathan quickly stepped out after Larry hard pulled the vehicle to a halt.“I need to change as soon as possible,” Nathan told Mike as he hurriedly aimed for the entrance. Mike gave an approving nod and Nathan hurried inside. The Rockville Fest was slated for 5 pm dot. It was past 4 pm. Nathan is a punctual persona and would always want to attend events at the scheduled time, unlike other rich people who stayed late on purpose to attract attention whenever they stepped in.At fifteen minutes to 5 pm, Nathan was already heading toward Mike and the escort team who had been waiting for him at the parking lot. He had quickly changed his outfit into a coffee Brioni suit and had worn a matching coffee face mask. “You look as good as ever,” Mike remarked after he reach them.Nathan smiled and brushed off his suit jacket.Larry quickly opened th
“You made it,” Charlotte said with a bright smile.Nathan swallowed. She had told him earlier at the mall that she was going to show up at the fest but he wasn’t expecting her to appear right in front of him. “Have a seat please.” He said.She quickly went for the chair opposite him.Mike pulled out his phone and was soon busy with it.The square was getting busier as various dignitaries kept trouping in while the hosts were acknowledging them.“I hope I’m not bothering you,” Charlotte said and flipped her straight hair. She was wearing a red ball gown and had red long gloves on that made Nathan think she looked like the England princesses of the 18th century.He shook his head. “Of course, you are not bothering me.”She smiled and then cleared her throat loudly, pondering on the next line to throw at Alex. All Charlotte wants is to build an acquaintance with Alex Alcantara so she had promised to take any opportunity she gets to engage him in a conversation.“I’m surprised you came ea
Hose Luis placed his hat on the table and arched a brow. He was staring intensely at Nathan. Nathan felt his ferocious eyes like blades cutting through his skin. He took time to look at the man. Hose Luis's blonde hair was jelled back and was tied into a ponytail. He had a scar on his left eyelid and his brown eyes were malicious.It then dawned on Nathan that the mafia lord was trying to figure out who he was. Nathan felt uncomfortable and quickly turned away. “You are the heir to the Alcantara empire right.” Hose Luis spat with his eyes rolling all around Nathan.Nathan confirmed with a nod and an insecure smile. “Excuse me,” he said and turned around. Before Mike and Dr. Lance could blink, Nathan was already leaving the table.Nathan was about to head for his table when he caught a glimpse of Avery. She was going through her phone. Avery was seated alone at one of the VIP tables. Nathan quickly walked up to her.“Hey!” he waved ta her.She quickly lowered her phone to her lap wit
