Chapter 49Nathan held onto his school bag and continued taking steps toward his lecture hall. He glanced at the watch on his left wrist. It was five minutes past 11 am. His lectures had already begun. Nathan fastened his steps and walked past several cafeterias. He decided to take a thin route, a shortcut leading to the auditorium. He saw two students making out. Nathan sighed and wanted to walk past them when he realized that the couple looked familiar. A girl was pinned to the wall by a boy who was kissing the hell out of her. Nathan gasped and his eyes widened after realizing that the boy was Greg.He could tell that It wasn’t Charlotte that Greg was kissing them who the hell was the girl? Wondered Nathan. He looked closely. It was a red-haired, petite. Nathan knew that he had seen that red hair somewhere. He slipped into a corner so that he could get a proper glance at the girl. “I knew it!” Nathan muttered under his breath. He had seen the red-haired on several occasio
After Charlotte left the lecture hall. She saw Nathan and his friends leaving for the school park and when she got there, she saw them stepping into a Rolls Royce, the same car Nathan had used to pick her up for dinner. She decided to request another ride in the luxurious vehicle so she ran to Nathan with the request that he drops her at home. “Give me a moment!” Nathan said and turned to his friends who had already occupied the back seat.He slipped his head inside and motioned to them with his head to look out. They expertly snuck their head out and saw Charlotte stuffing her textbooks into her school bag. Charles raised a brow. “She’s coming with us?”“Yes. She needs a ride home.” Nathan replied. “Okay!” “I was wondering if one of you could sit in front, right next to Larry so that Charlotte and I could sit here at the back.” Nathan requested. “That’s fine with me,” Henry said and pushed the car door open. I’ll seat with Larry.” He jumped out of the car and greeted Charlotte
Chapter 51Nathan smiled. “Yes, Henry. You heard me right. We are heading to Wells Avenue.”“Unbelievable!” Charles spat and dropped his phone on his lap. “I thought you were taking us to your new place?”“Of course.”“Then why the hell are you asking Larry to drive us to Wells Avenue?”Larry stepped on the wheels and was soon driving away from Crescent street. Henry stared at Nathan with a quirked brow. “Do you realize that not everyone has access to Wells Avenue? You can’t just drive there anytime you wish. We are talking about the most luxurious estate in the entire Rockville city.”“That’s correct!” Nathan maintained. Henry swung his head from left to right. As far as he was concerned, Nathan had no business in Wells Avenue because only the wealthiest individuals in the city could stay there.He turned to Charles. “Did you just hear Nathan? He’s insisting we go there.”Larry chuckled and continued driving toward the destination. “Why are we going to Wells Avenue in the first pl
Chapter 52Charles repeated. “Are you affiliated with the Alcantaras?”Henry shook his head wondering why Charles was drawing such inferences. “Why don’t we get inside the house first so that you guys can rest,” Nathan replied, sweeping Charles’s analogy under the carpet. The excited Henry took the lead. He traced his way inside while Nathan and Charles went after him two of the guards went to the Rolls Royce and collected the bags Henry and Charles came with. The boys stepped into the house and were swooned. Henry turned in awe. “What the hell? You can’t possibly own this place, Nathan. Is this really yours?”He moved to the smart HD television occupying a large chunk of the wall. “This is the largest television I’ve ever seen. How many inches is that?”Nathan grinned and showed them the bar stand. Charles strode to the bar stand. It was stuffed with the most expensive wines. He turned to Nathan. “These drinks here must cost a fortune!”Nathan nodded and folded his arms across h
Chapter 53Charles jumped out of the stool and rushed to the table. Together with Henry, they stood before Nathan with astonishing eyes. He presented the cards to them. “These are my cards.”“All of it?”Nathan confirmed with repeated nods. “Yes!”Charles went for the plain gold card. “How does it work? Like credit cards?”Nathan agreed with a nod. “They look different but work like the conventional credit cards.”The boys haven’t seen such cards before. Henry picked one of the cards and began to flip it. “Jeez Nathan. This is cool. I never knew you had three cards.” Said, Henry. He thought the only card Nathan had was the one he pulled out in the mall. Charles and Henry exchanged the cards and continued staring at them intensely. “This is pure Gold.”“This one even has your family logo on it.” Henry hinted while caressing the card with the letter A tag. Nathan pointed at the gold card Charles was holding. “I got this the day after my birthday.”"I went to the bank to confirm th
They broke away from the embrace, their faces beaming with excitement. “There’s so much to see around here guys. I can’t wait to give you guys a tour of this place.” Said, Nathan. “This house looks like a museum Nathan and I’m sure there’s more to it,” Henry replied and roved his eyes around. “Well, it speaks for itself. The house speaks of wealth and luxury.” Charles agreed with Nathan, his eyes fixated on the medusa painting on the wall. “Why don’t we go upstairs so that I can show you guys your rooms.”Nathan took the lead. He aimed for the staircase while the boys went after him. He led them up to the hallway upstairs. The boys stood there for a while and looked down at the living room from their spots. “It’s such a great view over here.”“Yes. My room is by the right.” Nathan said. “Wow!”“This way!”He led them to the enclosed doors by his left. They noticed other shut doors on their left as well as their right. “How many rooms do you have here? It looks more like an hot
Chapter 55Nathan opened his eyes after his alarm clock gave the signal. He wiped his drowsy eyes with the edge of his palms and sat up with a sigh. It was a few minutes past 7 am. He was certain that Charles and Henry were still in bed because, after dinner last night, the guys stayed up till dawn, chatting and sharing a glass of wine on the balcony. Nathan strode to the bathroom. After taking a shower, he sat by the edge of his bed and pulled out a file from one of his table cabinets. It was the file Mike had handed over to him a few days ago. He began going through the document containing the list of companies his family owned. Nathan was checking out the lists when his attention was drawn to the Phoenix Media House, which was the head of all other companies.He was acquainted with that name. He looked away, trying to figure it out when it came to him. Charles had mentioned it several times. Nathan went through the statement attached to the company where the staff, associates,
“Wassup bro!” Nathan waved at Henry the moment he walked into the room. Henry joined them on the bed and sat next to Charles. “I could hear your laughter from miles away. So tell me. What’s the juicy news because you guys seem excited.”“How was your night?” Nathan asked, ignoring Henry’s assertion. Henry waved his hand down. “Forget about that Nathan. You guys should tell me what you were discussing behind my back.”“Answer the damn question.” Charles insisted. “Fine!” Henry agreed with a sigh. “I had a good night. Now tell me what’s cracking you guys up.”Nathan smiled. Charles cleared his throat. “Nathan is going to be a member of the millionaires club.”“Woah!” Henry was already beaming with excitement. “He’ll also be attending the millionaire’s party scheduled for this weekend,” Charles revealed. Henry shook his head with a smile. “You have no idea how excited I am right now.” He turned to Nathan. “That event is going to be grand. I can feel it already.”“Yeah!” Charles a
