Avery was pissed at the way the manager was ridiculing Nathan. She faced him with her brows furrowing in annoyance. “You can’t talk to people like that. You should speak to Nathan with respect. He’s human like anyone else.”

Kelvin broke out laughing. “I guess Avery was the one who paid for their food. He can’t afford a bottle of water so that makes him less of a human.”

The manager turned to the security officer. “Daniel, I think you should call the cops. This guy here needs to be thought a valuable lesson so that next time, he’ll know his limits.”

“Seriously? Who gets punished for self-defense!” Avery ranted.

Daniel waved his phone. “Just what I was about to do before he demanded to see you. I’ll go ahead and call them.”

“Can I speak with you privately?” Nathan threw the question at the manager.

The manager turned to him with a glare. “No!”

Derrick flashed an impish grin.

“I need you to hear me out.” Nathan implored.

“Don’t worry. The cops are going to hear you out.” Daniel said and

    After Avery got off at home, Nathan headed back to his mansion. He got to his room, wore one of his exotic suits, and grabbed his face mask. He then made his way to the basement where he was greeted by two bodyguards at the entrance.“Any news yet?”One of the guards got closer. “No boss. Jackson is still doing all he can.”Nathan nodded and marched into the basement. The lights were already on. Five men captured from the cabin around Derrick’s estate laid on the floor looking like shit.Immediately after Nathan stepped in, Jackson walked up to him. “There’s still nothing from them. The bastards won’t crack.”Nathan hummed and walked up to them.There were blood stains on the floor. All the men had swollen faces and their bodies were marked by whips. They were sweating profusely and were panting heavily that one could think they could pass out in an instant.“Whoever your boss is, he must be proud right now.” Nathan towered above them with his hands stationed behind him.Their spokesm

    Avery slowly turned around to face Nathan. She lowered her head. Nathan closed the gap between them. He then tilted her jaw with two fingers, causing her to look him straight in the face.“Come with me!” Nathan breathed on Avery’s face.He didn't wait for her response. Nathan grabbed her by the hand and began leading her into the house.Avery followed Nathan to the bedroom. She settled by the edge of his bed. Nathan then stepped out to the living room and returned a few moments later with a glass of water. He passed it to Avery.“Thank you!” she mumbled and took the glass without looking up at Nathan.Nathan sat right next to her on the bed. He didn't ask her what was placing her on the edge. It was evident that it was related to the whole matchmaking thing with Derrick.Avery took a sip from the glass and placed it on the table.Nathan reached for her hand and then locked hands with her.“I wish I can forget every damn thing in the world right now.” She professed.Nathan wrapped his

    “Should we follow him, boss?” Kelvin’s chief bodyguard threw the question at him.They were seated in the back seat of a van, parked across Nathan’s street, a few meters away from his rented apartment.From the car, Kelvin had watched Nathan step out of the house and then enter a Rolls Royce.“Not today,” Kelvin said and put on his dark shades. He then turned to the bodyguard. “Now that you’ve seen the guy in question, I want you to monitor him like a hawk. Let me know where he goes from here and the people he meets. I don’t want anyone else on the case but just you. I don’t want us to drag any attention.”“Got it, boss.” The middle-aged bodyguard responded.Kelvin turned to his driver. “Now, take me to Derrick’s house,” he instructed.His chauffeur turned the van around and drove away.***Nathan took his head into his hands and soon, he was lost in deep thoughts.

    Immediately after Avery stepped inside her room, she was greeted by a glare from her mother who was standing in her room with her arms folded across her chest.“Where the hell are you coming from?”Avery let out a frustrated sigh. “And what the hell are you doing in my room.” she retorted, standing by the door.Mrs. Jacobs arched a brow. “The last time I checked, you are my responsibility so you better start talking.”Meanwhile, Mrs. Jacobs had seen Avery leave the house last eveningAvery walked up to her bed and crashed by the edge. “I just needed some air.”“You spent the whole night outside, Avery.” her mother implied.“I was at a friend's place. I'm sorry I didn't inform you about my whereabouts,” she said and began to take off her scandals.Mrs. Jacobs got closer to Avery. “I got a call from Derrick about an hour ago. He said something about being unable to reach you. Is there a problem?”Avery rolled her eyes around with her lips curled in irritation. It was evident that Derric

    Nathan and Mike were having lunch together with Charles at the Alcantara estate when a call came through Nathan’s official phone.He dropped his fork and grabbed the phone. “It's the mayor!” Nathan told them and quickly reached for a glass of water. After taking a sip, he responded to the call.“Good day, Alex Alcantara.” the Mayor’s deep voice came on.Nathan cleared his throat loudly. “Good day, Mayor.”“I trust you are doing fine.” the mayor continued. “I called to inform you that my 50th birthday party is on Monday at 7 pm. I'll send you an official invitation but before then, I felt like giving you a call.”Nathan raised an eyebrow. “Monday? That's tomorrow!”“I'm aware of the fact that the notice is a short one. I apologize for that. It's just that I wanted a simple and private party that is why I told my cabinet members not to make a noise about it.”Nathan gave repeated nods. “Got it. I'll do my best to attend.”“I'll be expecting you Alex.” the mayor concluded and hung up.Im

He motioned to the guard carrying the bags to come with him.Nathan noticed the way Derrick was staring intensely at him and then, a thought struck him. He flashed an impish grin and called the attention of Jackson who was standing behind him.He then whispered into Jackson’s left ear. Jackson nodded in understanding and began taking steps toward Avery.Avery had been going through her phone from the moment she walked into the hall. Her father had excused himself to mingle with his peers

It got to a point where he couldn't take it anymore so he snatched his phone from the table and dashed out.Derrick traced his way to the open parking space.

    Immediately after Nathan and his escorts left the hall, Derrick who was already back to his table picked up his phone. He placed a call and lowered the pitch of his voice.“The target is in motion!” he said and hung up.He then smirked and darted his gaze back to the stage where the mayor was cutting his birthday cake.Nathan made his way out of the hall. By the time he got to the parking lot, Larry was already occupying the driver’s seat of one of the range rovers. Nathan got into the back seat. Two bodyguards joined him on his sides.Jackson and the other guards were occupying the other range rover and the escort vehicle. Due to the respect they all have for Nathan, no one occupied the G-wagon except the driver in front who was wheeling it away from the parking space.Larry was the first to take off. The G-wagon and the other escort vehicles took off. When they drove out of the mayor’s compound, Larry took the left while the rest took the route leading to the Alcantara mansion on th

    Steve pulled the car to a halt in front of the airport building. Nathan turned to Avery with a smile. “You still want to do this?” He asked with his hand stretched out toward her. She took his hand into hers. “More than anything in the world. I’ve been running around for years and I never told you this but the main reason why I came back to Rockville was to make peace with your soul and then build my brand from scratch now that you’re here, I just want to spend as much time with you as possible, away from the whole chaos and drama. Just the two of us.” Nathan planted a kiss on her forehead. “Thank you so much, Avery.”She smiled. “I’m excited. It’s going to be my first time in Russia and I just can’t wait to explore the city with the love of my life.”Steve cleared his throat loudly. “Looks like I also need to find the love of my life and take her to Russia.”They laughed.Suddenly, Nathan’s phone began to ring. He heaved a deep sigh and turned to Avery. “It’s Charles.”“It’s over.”

    Morgan turned to his bodyguards who had been inside the lounge with him all this while. “Call for reinforcements. We’ve been tricked.”Derrick darted Morgan’s attention toward the chip on the table. “It’s a camouflage. It’s all programming shit.” He said and began to take off his jacket. Morgan was already sweating profusely. “I must find the real Alex. I need to kill that bastard today.”“Are you even serious?” Derrick cried out. “We are in a mess. That chip proved that this whole session was recorded.” He took his head into his hands. “I should have listened to Kelvin. This was a bad idea and now, we’re doomed. I’m not even sure if we’re the only ones in this building right now.”“I reserved the whole damn building and apart from the staff, there’s no damn customer here.” Morgan retorted and threw his gun on the floor. “My backup team will be here any moment from now and we’ll get the hell out of here. As for that recording chip, I don’t care about what’s in it or who had access t

    “Now that your girlfriend is safe and out of the picture, let’s talk business,” Morgan said to Nathan’s camouflage who was sitting before him and Derrick. Both men had no idea that the man sitting in front of them was a product of science programmed to function like Alexander Alcantara with a chip buried in his head. The camouflage was programmed to follow Cole’s instructions and ever since he walked into the longue, his words and actions were being directed by Coke from outside. “Why did you kill my parents?” The camouflage asked Morgan. Morgan broke into a laugh. “Seriously? Do you think I have time for this? Do you want me to respond to your stupid questions? You’re doing this to buy time right?”“Isn’t it obvious that you have me under your mercy? If you are going to take me out then at least I deserve the chance to know why you killed everyone in my family.” Nathan replied. “For my brother’s sake.” Morgan quickly replied. “You killed Corrigan, the only person in the world wh

    Nathan stretched his hand toward Avery and held her hand tightly. “You’ll be fine.” He mumbled to her lovingly. She nodded repeatedly.Derrick clenched his jaw and looked away while his bowels continued to heat up with rage. “You’re lying,” Morgan replied. “I gave you ten minutes to come here and according to my guards, you came alone so how did you get to rally troops and station them here?”Nathan chuckled. “I didn’t bring any troops from home. If you and your partner were smart enough, you’d know that this is the Grandiose Hotel and the Grandiose Hotel belongs to the Alcantaras.”Derrick and Morgan exchanged glances. “Shit!” Derrick cussed and rubbed his hair repeatedly. “It didn’t cross my mind.”Morgan frowned. “All I had to was give the manager a phone call before coming in. I told him that if four minutes pass by and Avery does not come walking through the door, he should tell the restaurant security squad to start firing.” Nathan said. Suddenly, Derrick snatched Morgan’s g

    The waitresses returned carrying food trays. They graciously placed it on the table. Morgan reached for the plate of steak and began to devour it like a hungry lion. Avery kept staring at her plate of pasta and meatballs. “Are you okay?” Derrick demanded. “Yeah.” She replied and looked up. “Don’t eat that.” Nathan’s voice came through the chip. She heaved a deep sigh because that was exactly what was on her mind. What if the food was poisoned? She kept thinking. Nathan continued speaking to her. “Leave your bag there and get up. Act normal and tell them you need to use the restroom then you head out.”“I think I need to pee,” Avery announced. Morgan stopped eating and dropped his plate immediately. “But you just got here?”“Yeah.” Derrick agreed with a nod. Avery faked a smile and quickly stood up. “I think I had a lot of water earlier and now, I need to pee. I’ll be back soon.” She said. She was about to turn around when Morgan spoke. “Excuse me?” Avery turned around lookin

    “You look as gorgeous as ever,” Nathan commented while Avery was tracing her way down the staircase. It was time to meet Derrick. He had already dropped the location and had called a while ago to say that he was on his way. Avery was wearing a short black floral dress with black sandals to match. Nathan had insisted that she apply makeup so that Derrick doesn’t sense her insecurity. “Are you sure about this?” Avery asked when she reached Nathan. Nathan took her face into his hands. “You’ll be fine. I promise you with my life.”She smiled. “If you say so.”“Remember, act normal and do as he says. Okay?”“Got it,” Avery replied and walked away. By the time she arrived at the restaurant, Derrick was already inside because he had texted her about three minutes ago that he had arrived. On her part, Avery had convinced him that their meeting was a secret because Nathan was not going to approve. She had taken a cab to get there. When Avery walked into the building, she was stunned by i

    “Welcome, bro. What can I offer you?” Nathan demanded the moment Kelvin walked into his living room. Kelvin marched in and didn’t even look at the couch Nathan was presenting to him. “I don’t think I can sit.”“You look restless. What’s the matter?”Kelvin sighed and faced Nathan. “It’s Derrick. He had been in my place for the past three days and he’s been looking like shit.”“Did you ask you to come here and convince Avery to go back to me?” Nathan asked. He then raised an index finger. “Listen, tell Derrick that if I see him close to my woman, I’ll kill him so he should leave her alone.”“That’s not why I’m here.” Kelvin sharply replied. “Last night, he went on a rampage and drank several bottles of my wine and when I walked into him in my living room, he was half conscious and he said some things.”Nathan abruptly stood up. “What did he say?”“You and I both know that it’ll be difficult for a man like Derrick to change.” Said Kelvin. “It’s not like I’m condemning him.” He quickly

    “He’s coming out shortly,” Daniel reported and sat with the rest of the team. That morning, Morgan’s allies stormed his mansion to talk about the tragic events that were unfolding. It was no news that his biggest warehouse was burnt to ashes. That evening, another one was looted and by midnight, Morgan got information that his security guards were attacked on their way back from the club and 6 perished while two were in a coma. Morgan made his way down the staircase, carrying the weight of his problems. However, he was sober and didn’t display any angry reaction. Perhaps, he was too beaten by the incidents that he had lost his will to react. His Allies looked upon him as he made his way toward them. The group consisted of his friends and partners who had helped him execute shady deals in the past. After he sat, Daniel stood up and cleared his throat loudly. “There is no denying that we all know who is behind the constant attacks. Without mincing words, I’d like to inform you all t

    It was Saturday morning and during the weekends, Morgan plays tennis with Daniel, his assistant. Daniel is no fan of table tennis and barely knows how to hold the bat but every Saturday and Sunday morning, he shows up dressed in shorts with his gears just to impress Morgan. Also, Morgan knew that his assistant was bad in the sport so it gave him an edge to defeat him completely all the time. This morning, Daniel was already seated by the court in Morgan’s house and was waiting for his boss to show up. Morgan had just stepped out of his room and was on his way toward the living room before heading out to your court when his phone began to ring. He frowned and didn’t pick up the call. Even though he was a workaholic, he had made it clear to his workers that none of them would disturb him with work matters except if it was an emergency. The call persisted and the warning bells in Morgan’s head began to ring. What if this particular call was a case of emergency?The call was coming fr
