“We are here!” Larry announced after he wheeled the Lamborghini to the school’s parking lot.He had driven Nathan from the mansion to school that morning. From the moment Nathan stepped into the car, he had been sleeping with his back thrown against the car seat.Larry had to tap him on the left thigh to wake him up. “We are here, boss.”Nathan almost flew out of the car seat.Larry chuckled. “Don't worry boss, you've got just one paper to go so I'm sure you'll get enough time to rest after this.”“That's true,” Nathan said and stepped down from the car.Larry drove away.Nathan was about to take a step toward the route leading to his examination hall when he heard Avery calling out to him.He exhaled sharply and then turned around to face her. During their conference call last night, Nathan and his friends had come up with a story in case Avery interrogated any of them.Immediately after Avery got to Nathan, she engaged him in a hug. Nathan chuckled and hugged her tightly.“You gave
Frederick aimed for the living room while Kelvin followed. “What do you think is the problem Dad? How did Nathan escape? Could he be affiliated with the Alcantaras and they saved him? What about our men?” demanded an inquisitive Kelvin. Fredrick exhaled sharply and crashed on the couch. “Take deep breaths, son. We will figure this out.”Kelvin sat opposite his father and spread his arms around the couch. Fredrick was about to pull out his phone in his bid to reach out to one of his men in nightmare city when the phone started ringing. His brows went up because the particular man he wanted to contact was the one calling him. “Hello!”“We’ve got a problem boss.” The caller supplied. “It’s related to the warehouse.”At the mention of the warehouse, Fredrick flew out of the couch. After he conned Roderick Barnes, he made friends with a few like-minded people in Nightmare City and then secured a warehouse. There, he was keeping the stolen goods. “What happened to my warehouse?” Asked
By 6 pm, Nathan and his group decided to leave the bar after hours of chatting, drinking wine, and taking selfies. When they stepped out, Greg left with Charlotte in his car. Charles threw his car key at Nathan. Nathan stared at him in confusion. “Why don’t you give Avery a ride home? Henry and I will find our way.” Charles told Nathan and they gave him a twinkle. Nathan swallowed. “Of course!”The boys wished Avery farewell and then headed toward the street. Nathan ushered Avery into the car and then settled in front beside her. After they strapped their seat belts, Nathan turned on the car media and then drove away. There was ballroom music being played by the radio station. Avery threw her back against the car seat with a sigh. “I had so much fun.”Nathan chuckled. “I’m so glad we had a non-alcoholic wine else I wouldn’t have been able to drive you home.”Avery giggled. “I took a whole damn bottle,” Nathan said and took a sharp turn. Avery stretched her hand to his left th
“What took you so long?” Henry asked after Nathan walked up to them in front of the student division office.Nathan sighed and shook his head. “I bumped into Kelvin on my way here and he wouldn't stop blabbering.”Charles frowned. “What does he want this time?”“So he had the guts to bother you after having you kidnapped?” Henry said. “Crappy insolence.”Nathan moved closer to them.” You know what he said to me?”“What did he say?” Charles asked.“Kelvin told me to forget about being prom king after ranting over how I managed to escape. He seemed frustrated.” Nathan replied.“Really?” Henry said.“Yeah. He said that was his position and you know Kelvin. Whenever he wants something, he gets it at all costs.”“Not this time.” Charles declared.“Yes.” Henry agreed.“Forget about it,” Nathan said and waved his hand down. “Let's get to the business of today.”They went into the office.****“Hope I didn't keep you guys waiting,” Charles said the moment he arrived at the table.Last night,
Mrs. Fredrick came rushing to their chamber.Fredrick turned to her. “What's the matter?”He had barely slept that night and was about to take a shower so he could head to work and bury his head before coming up with ways how to get his men out of Nightmare City.She pointed at the door with shaky hands and that was when Fredrick realized that she came in panting heavily. He moved closer to her.“What's the problem hunny?”“There are men from Interpol in the living room. They came for you.” she managed to say.Fredrick hummed and grabbed some clothes from the closet. He began to get dressed.Meanwhile, his wife was aware of Interpol’s engagement with the warehouse at Nightmare City so when she saw them in their house that morning, she began to panic.When Fredrick was done, he stood before his wife and pointed a finger at her. “Stay right here and don't you move an inch. Tell Kelvin to remain in his room. None of you must come downstairs no matter what.”Her lips parted and just when
“We are here!” Larry announced after he swerved the Hummer jeep to a halt in front of the venue.Behind them were two escort vehicles. Immediately after the cars came to a halt, the security guards stepped out and hurried toward Nathan to get the door for him.After his conversation with Mike two days ago, Nathan got a call from the president of the billionaires club. They had invited him to their meeting.Jackson took the lead while the rest of the guards followed in their usual order. They led Nathan, dressed as Alex into the resort center and then headed straight to the hall where the meeting was slated.It was a few minutes past 7 pm.When Nathan stepped into the hall, the secretary of the group's central committee went to meet him. He was led to the table. Nathan’s bodyguards took positions.After Nathan was settled on a high table with the committee, he studied the group and realized that he was the youngest person.The billionaires club mostly consists of people in their late f
After getting dressed, Nathan and his friends left in the Lamborghini for the clothing store. Henry drove them to one of the fanciest stores in town.They got into the store and requested to be taken to the tuxedo section. While the boys had their eyes on the finest silk, Nathan went for something unconventional.He settled for a three-piece Italian wine-colored suit with a jacket that extended to his knees. The suit had special encrusted buttons. Charles and Henry also made picked their suits.After that, the boys went to the shoe section and made their choice. Before leaving the store, they bought cuff links, wristwatches, and other accessories.While they were seated in the car and about to head home, Henry told Nathan to make the call.The shy Nathan ignored him and resolved to fix his seat belt. “I'll do that when I get home.”“Well, you better do it on time because girls like to be updated on time. We've got two days to prom night so the sooner you inform your queen, the better
Nathan hugged his awards with prestige. Henry and Charles surrounded him as they drank and made a toast to his achievements that night.By 11 p.m., prom night had come to an end. All the graduating students were fulfilled.“There’s an after-party in the city. Are we going there?” Charles asked.Avery sighed. “I'm very tired.”“I'm also tired.” Nathan sharply added.Henry and Charles exchanged mischievous glances.Henry gave Charles a soft pat on the back. “How about we leave now? Don't you want to go to the after-party?”“Of course,” Charles replied and stood up.They wished Nathan a farewell and then left.Nathan turned to Avery. “Let me take you home.”“We will drive past your house before we get to mine. How about we just head to your apartment and crash there?” Avery told Nathan.“Sure!”They stepped out of the hall.Nathan helped Avery to get settled in the back seat of the car. He then moved to Larry and whispered to him to take them to his rented apartment. He went to the back
